Random animal stories have lit up newspapers for centuries.
We read them for for a few reasons. We're inspired by the loyalty of a pet, a constant companion, beacon of love. Even the old Unsolved Mysteries program aired a story of a heroic pig that squeezed through a dog door and laid down in the street to call attention to an ill master. We love animals whose intelligence is more akin to ours. Dogs capable of intricate tricks. Gorillas using sign language. And we have a love/repulsion about – though usually at more of a distance – tales of animals getting one over on humans, be it grizzly attacks, hungry Florida wildlife or an abused animal finally having enough.
James Herriot captured the world with animal stories, starting with All Creatures Great and Small, which was later turned into a television series.
With other story work underway, the summer hiatus of the Georgia High School Basketball Project blog is ending gently here, with a few unrelated, utterly tossed together vintage animal stories out of newspapers.
Haralson County did not quite trust groundhogs.
Two days before Groundhog Day in 1968, the Tallapoosa Journal mentioned the usual superstitions of the little beasts seeing their shadow and the odds of an early spring. The Journal also was not too trusting of them, especially if a local one happened to make a prediction.
"The encyclopedia also states that the woodchuck is found from Hudson Bay to South Carolina and nearly as far west as the Rockies. This eliminates Georgia and Haralson County, all of which means that if the sun does shine Friday and a stray groundhog hereabout does see his shadow, extradite him."
Move that little rascal out to his natural home.
While the Tallapoosa Journal was correct in that groundhogs were not native to Haralson County, the geography actually was not too far off, at least according to Wikipedia. A map of where groundhogs dwell show them at the very northern tip of Georgia, ranging perhaps as far south as Rising Fawn. There was no reason to disbelieve that one might have gotten utterly confused and kept going south.
Monkey, wrenched
The March 6, 1952 Monroe Advertiser proudly proclaimed the following on the front page: "The first monkey hunt ever held in Monroe County came to an end Tuesday when Jesse Dumas shot a twenty-pound monkey near Wallis Waldrep's Fish Pond on Highway 42."
A description that could have doubled as a Ray Stevens song told the tale of the monkey's brief life of freedom.
It had supposedly escaped from a traveling circus in Barnesville.
The monkey was first spotted in a tree near the home of Mrs. W.H. Etheridge. We'll take it that either our first witness thought she was out of her mind or people she told thought so. Who expects to see a monkey in Monroe County? This conclusion is drawn because it wasn't until the tailed wonder was sighted in the hen house of Otis Sanders that the hunt began.
(No addresses were given for these individuals, so the speed or route of the monkey is quite unknown.)
For three days, Monroe County citizens searched for the monkey. They wanted to capture it alive, probably out of a combination of curiosity and the rumor that the circus was offering $50 for for its return in that condition.
Dogs were brought in to track the monkey, but because a) the dogs had never tracked a monkey before and b) "monkey was able to swing through the trees with the speed of a Tarzen [sic]," no dice. The decision was made to shoot to kill.
Dumas shot the monkey and likely attained legendary status in Monroe County.
Get moooooving
A one-line news item from The Quitman Free Press in 1949:
"Stray cattle and hogs using the city cemetery for grazing were rounded up Monday and put in the city pound."
This really isn't that strange. There was actually a debate in many Georgia counties at this time about livestock fences. Maybe not to the extent of pigs scratching their backs on tombstones as can be visualized here, but major debate nonetheless.
One, Irwin County, voted in July 1947 for "no fence," which meant farmers did not have to fence in their crops and instead, livestock owners had to fence in their animals.
"Irwin County joins the list of other progressive South Georgia counties which have restricted the wanderings of cows and hogs from the highways and farm lands," according to The Ocilla Star.
Thieves of other types
Typical opossum, though its Georgia habitat is generally without snow. (Wikipedia)
The Bulloch Times and Statesboro News poked fun at its own town in 1930, but it also showed that Statesboro was a much different place then. Then, as now, Statesboro was a college town, but South Georgia Teachers College was a year old. It was a name change from Georgia Normal School, which itself had been First District Agricultural and Mechanical from 1908-1924.
In a tally of recent wildlife kills within its borders, the newspaper noted:
"The record stands as follows: One 'possum this week; one polecat last week; one rattlesnake last month, and a covey of quail last year. The quail were caught by [Policeman] Raif Brannen as they made their roosting place in the court house. The rattlesnake defied the proprieties of civilization and crawled under Hosea Aldred's store on South Main [S]treet, where he still presumably is hibernating for the winter."
Note that the possum and the polecat were not small.
"Master-sized," said the Times and News of both animals.
The demise of the possum was described as it "was late going in from a night out and the officers espied him as he waddled along in the direct, presumably, of his home, a smile on his countenance. He was late getting under cover and paid the penalty for his delay."
That's beautiful use of the English language.
Kids, don't try this at home
Another circus story out of the city of Register, also in Bulloch County.
A gentleman visiting this circus in 1927 tried to make friends with a hyena by sticking his hand in a cage. He was bitten.
After visiting the doctor for this slight wound, not only did this gentleman revisit the circus that day, he also decided to talk to the hyena again. He offered another hand in friendship. Not surprisingly, said the Bulloch Times and Statesboro News:
"When he extended the other hand, the animal met him in the same spirit of cordiality with which he had met him at first and seized his hand in its mouth. When it turned loose, Cowart's hand was practically in shreds. It is understood that the surgeons expressed some doubt as to the possibility of saving the hand from amputation."
Hyenas don't actually laugh. This one might have.

The sauce: Finely chop onion, celery, garlic, carrots and parsley together on a board or in a food processor. Cut pancetta into small pieces.
Heat the oil in a terra-cotta or enamel saucepan. When hot, add the chopped ingredients and pancetta and saute slowly over low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Mix in ground beef and when it is no longer reddish, add wine and let it evaporate for about 5 minutes.
Pass the tomatoes through a food mill to remove seeds and, when the wine has evaporated, add tomatoes to the saucepan. Taste for salt and pepper and simmer slowly for about 25 minutes.
Dolce-forte: Put all 5 ingredients in a small bowl and set aside for about 20 minutes. When the meat sauce is ready, add the dolce-forte to the saucepan. Stir to incorporate and simmer 5 minutes longer.
The pasta: You can make it by hand, of course, but this seems the simpler way. Place ingredients in a food processor with the metal blade and pulse on and off until a ball of dough forms. Turn out, gently knead into a ball, cover with a towel and let rest about 1/2 hour. Divide dough into quarters and knead until smooth by putting through pasta machine rollers, starting with widest setting and working down to the last setting (pasta will be very, very thin). Cut into tagliatelle (the wider cutter) and let stand on a board, loosely covered with a clean towel, until needed (do not let dry out).
Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil. Add coarse-grained salt to taste. Prepare a warmed serving dish by spreading 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom.
Add the pasta to the boiling salted water and cook for about 30 seconds after the water has returned to a boil. Drain and put in prepared serving dish. Pour remaining sauce over pasta and toss very well. Serve immediately.

Q: Creating Array of weapons for Math.Random to choose from I am just a little bit confused as of what to do.  I have Two Weapons Classes.  One for  the M16 and another for the M4.  I then have those Classes implementing an interface named Armory.  But I am having issues with the Combat class.  In the combat class I have a Random number Generator that will generate a random number and depending on what number it is, will either give the player a weapon or do nothing.  I will post the Code Below:
Interface:
public interface Armory {

public Integer weaponAmmo(int wepAmmo);
public Integer weaponDamage(int wepDamage);
public String weaponName(String wepName);
}

M4 Class(M4 and M16 Classes are the same except for damage and ammo amounts):
public class M4 implements Armory {

public Integer weaponAmmo(int wepAmmo) {
    wepAmmo = 10;
    return wepAmmo;
}

public Integer weaponDamage(int wepDamage) {
    wepDamage = 2;
    return wepDamage;
}

public String weaponName(String wepName) {
    wepName = "M4";
    return wepName;
}

And Finally, the Combat Class(This is where I am having Issues):
public class Combat {
final int chanceOfDrop = 3;

Weapons[] wepArray = {new M4(), new M16()};  //Issues here.. Don't really know how to implement this.

static boolean[] hasWeapon = {false, true};

public static int  ranNumberGen(int chanceOfDrop) {
    return (int) (Math.random()*1);
}

private void enemyDead() {
    boolean canDrop = false;
    if(ranNumberGen(chanceOfDrop)==0){
        canDrop = true;

    }

    if(canDrop == true){
        givePlayerWeapon(wepArray[Combat.ranNumberGen(wepArray.length)] } //Issues here also.
    private static void givePlayerWeapon(int w) {
        hasWeapon[w] = true;

        for (int i = 0; i < hasWeapon.length; ++i)
        {
            if (hasWeapon[i]) System.out.println(( wepArray[i]).weaponName());  //And, last but not least, I am having Issues here
        }
            }

}

NOTE: I have a Weapons Class, But nothing is in it.  I don't really know what to put in it.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance:
Shandan

A: Several issues -
A. To put m16 and m14 elements in the weapons array , these classes must either extend (if Weapons is a class) or implmeent (if weapons is interface) Weapons.
Another option is to have a method of
Weapons toWeapons() in both M16 and M14 classes.
B. Correct me if I'm wrong (Not native english speaker - but Armory is a place that provides Weapons, so your choice of name is not good.
M16 and M14 should implement an interface named "Weapon" and this (In my humble opinion) should be the type of the array.
C. If I understood, you want to provide in some cases no weapon to the user -
One way to have this done, and not get into ugly if (to check existence or not) is to have a NoWeapon class implements Weapon (in your current code - implements Armory).
Its methods will have an applicative meaning of "do nothing".
For example -
weaponAmmo will always return 0.

This anthology gathers Giuseppe Mazzini's most important essays on democracy, nation building, and international relations, including some that have never before been translated into English. These neglected writings remind us why Mazzini was one of the most influential political thinkers of the nineteenth century–and why there is still great benefit to be derived from a careful analysis of what he had to say. Mazzini (1805-1872) is best known today as the inspirational leader of the Italian Risorgimento. But, as this book demonstrates, he also made a vital contribution to the development of modern democratic and liberal internationalist thought. In fact, Stefano Recchia and Nadia Urbinati make the case that Mazzini ought to be recognized as the founding figure of what has come to be known as liberal Wilsonianism.
The writings collected here show how Mazzini developed a sophisticated theory of democratic nation building–one that illustrates why democracy cannot be successfully imposed through military intervention from the outside. He also speculated, much more explicitly than Immanuel Kant, about how popular participation and self-rule within independent nation-states might result in lasting peace among democracies. In short, Mazzini believed that universal aspirations toward human freedom, equality, and international peace could best be realized through independent nation-states with homegrown democratic institutions. He thus envisioned what one might today call a genuine cosmopolitanism of nations.

Tantra (Black Magic) is an Indian Hindi language supernatural television series based on black magic which aired from 3 December 2018 to 5 April 2019 on Colors TV. Produced by Siddharth Kumar Tewary under Swastik Productions, it starred Sargun Kaur Luthra, Juhi Parmar, Manish Goel and Sameksha.

Plot
Tantra is the story of a family who have fallen prey to the clutches of an evil incantation. The Khannas are an affluent family who move into their dream home Jalsa but become unfortunate victims of the gruesome practice of tantra. The antagonist is the House itself whose haunting effects make the place unliveable and a nightmare for its inhabitants. Niyati, the brave daughter of the Khanna family emerges as the one who can fight against the evil and protect her family from the witchcraft.

Jalsa is Prithvi Khanna's dream home and he gave the responsibility of constructing it to his heir, Nirvaan. It is shown that the house is alive under black magic and the only one who knows of this is the old lady who lives in the house in front of Jalsa. Saudamini, the tantric, gets the old lady to commit suicide under her tantra's influence as the old lady would have told Niyati the truth about the house. Niyati and her family move in to Jalsa and on their first night in the house, Niyati's brother Nirvaan is attacked by the tantra and almost killed, only to be saved by Niyati. Niyati notices that the wires which were choking Nirvaan were moving on their own leading to her suspicion that something is wrong. Her mother, Sumati, refuses to believe her and instead blames her for not paying attention to Nirvaan. Niyati and her childhood friend, Akshat, take it upon themselves to figure out who the mysterious lady they saw was. Later on at the Jasla's housewarming party, Kanchan is introduced as a member of the catering service. Kanchan recalls having seen Saudamini at the same party, so she tries testifying against Saudamini, but she and Akshat are abducted by Saudamini and saved in the nick of time by Niyati and inspector Bharat. The goons who kidnapped them mysteriously commit suicide without revealing who was giving them orders.

Niyati witnesses the house maid, Geeta, being dragged by supernatural forces into a wall. Terrified by the sight, Niyati tries to convince her parents about the mysterious occurrences in the house. On the other hand, Nirvaan is in love with a girl named Nisha, who is later revealed to be Saudamini's daughter. Saudamini casts a spell upon all the family members except Niyati which makes them believe that Nirvaan and Nisha are getting married in a couple of days. In a baffling plot twist, it is revealed that Kanchan is actually working with Saudamini and helping her in her evil plans and that Nisha, who is also in love with Nirvaan, is helpless and letting Saudamini pose as her mom because her real mom is being held captive. During a party at Jalsa, Nirvaan is put under a spell by Saudamini and Kanchan which causes him to misbehave with Nisha following which she reveals to Prithvi and the family that Nirvaan tried to harass her. While Prithvi questions Nirvaan's actions, Niyati supports her brother and lashes out at Nisha and Saudamini, accusing Nisha of falsely framing Nirvaan.

Nisha breaks up with Nirvaan on Saudamini's orders. Nirvaan, who is still under the spell, behaves violently, blames Niyati for the break-up and commits suicide under the spell's influence. Niyati, who was following Saudamini and Nisha to uncover their secret, loses track of them in a forest and comes across a priest who tells her that her house is controlled by evil forces. She rushes home to inform her parents only to find Nirvaan has committed suicide. Grief-stricken Niyati tries to convince the devastated family of the rituals going on in her house only to be rejected by inconsolable Sumati who blames Niyati and reveals to everyone that Niyati is Prithvi's illegitimate child. That same night, Saudamini gets Nisha killed so there is no evidence left to use against her. It is later revealed that Kanchan is Prithvi's niece. Prithvi had ousted his younger brother, Pratap, for betraying him. Afterwards, Pratap was homeless and couldn't even find a job. Due to his unfortunate conditions, he committed suicide and left his pregnant wife Sunaina as a widow. Saudamini is Sunaina's sister and she is seeking justice for her brother-in-law's death. Saudamini wanted to avenge her sister becoming a widow and Kanchan being fatherless by ruining the Khannas.

While everyone is away for Nirvaan's last rites in Haridwar, Niyati is attacked by the house and trapped inside. She is told by the Aghori that she will find the cure to the tantra in Tantra Nagri. Niyati manages to escape from Jalsa and finds a book that tells her where that village used to be. However, before she could find the cure, Niyati gets sent to the mental asylum after everyone is led to believe that she is mentally unstable. After Nirvaan's last rites, Saudamini revealed that she is the tantric that has done tantra on Jalsa. Niyati tries to expose her but Saudamini possesses Niyati with her tantric and gets her to admit that she killed Nirvaan and she is the one who is doing tantra. Seeing all this, Prithvi and Akshat are led to believe that Niyati is under a shock and needs medical treatment. But Niyati manages to escape from the asylum. On the other hand, inspector Bharat has figured out Kanchan's truth and tries to make her confess. He finds out Kanchan and Saudamini are related to one another and they are in cahoots to destroy the Khannas while. Before he can tell Prithvi anything, Kanchan pushes him off a cliff and calls Saudamini for help.

Niyati ends up hiding in Saudamini's trunk after escaping from the asylum and finds out that Kanchan is Saudamini's niece and confronts them. Saudamini and Kanchan reveal to Niyati that Prithvi isn't her real dad, and at the same time Prithvi ends up revealing to the entire family that Niyati isn't his illegitimate child, but his younger brother, Pratap's daughter. Niyati finds out that Kanchan is her twin sister. In the Khanna household, Pratap's real truth is exposed. Pratap had deceived his brother and stolen from him. Pratap was a selfish alcoholic man who only cared about money and not his family. Under the influence of alcohol, he harms Sumati and causes her to miscarry. It is also revealed that Pratap was the one who asked Saudamini to bind the Jalsa with tantra after he committed suicide there.

20 years ago, Niyati was born weaker than Kanchan, so she was shifted to a different hospital for intensive care. The hospital Sunaina and Kanchan were in caught fire but Saudamini saved her sister and niece. Prithvi was under the impression that Sunaina is dead, so he decides to adopt Niyati as he and Sumati had also lost their child. Prithvi tells Sumati that Niyati is his illegitimate child instead of Pratap's daughter because Sumati would not have accepted her baby's killer's child. After learning the truth, the Khanna family is split with people who refuse to accept Niyati (mama, mami, Kartik, Mansi and Sumati) and people who do (dadi, nani and Prithvi).

While Prithvi raised Niyati with love and support, Saudamini led Kanchan down the path of revenge, which Sunaina did not agree with. Once Kanchan is older, she joins an architecture company who is building Jalsa so she could get Saudamini to perform tantra on the house. After revealing everything, Saudamini and Kanchan try to instigate Niyati against the Khanna's, but Niyati refuses to join hands with them. Saudamini tries to kill Niyati so she won't be a hindrance to their plan, but inspector Bharat saves Niyati. However, he gets fatally shot by Saudamini. Kanchan ends up shooting Niyati twice and runs away with Saudamini when Akshat comes to her rescue. Unfortunately, Niyati falls off a cliff, into the lake below, and Akshat jumps after her to save her, but he is unable to find her. Niyati is rescued by a tantric instead and taken to a tantra temple.

Niyati chooses to support Prithvi and along with Akshat, who she later marries, they vow to stand up against the evil forces and protect them from the looming dangers of black magic. Kanchan also captures Akshat's soul in order to ruin Niyati's married life. But at the end, Niyati saves Akshat by releasing his soul from soul world. Kanchan also controls Khanna family against her by performing black magic on them with the help of an actress in the form of sage. But she fails and dies at the end. Niyati, Akshat and her family lives happily ever after.

Speaker Explores Human Rights as Issue for the U.S.
The Sackler lecture, held at the Law School, was the opening event for a conference on Human Rights in the USA, Oct. 22-24.
Thomas is currently a research associate at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. She was previously a visiting fellow at the London School of Economics and was founding director for the Human Rights Watch Women's Division.
"We have a genuine problem, [and that is] articulating the relevance for human rights in the United States," said Richard Wilson, director of the University of Connecticut Human Rights Institute, which sponsored the conference. Human rights, he said, have largely been seen as a U.S. export to third world countries and areas of conflict.
Thomas's comments focused on the importance of human rights as a national movement in the U.S. Drawing on her experiences with various international movements, she reflected on how her own thinking has developed.
She said she now recognizes that it is wrong to view human rights in the U.S. as separate from human rights in other countries. Yet it is still an attitude that many Americans hold today when thinking about the applicability of human rights to national identity.
Thomas now believes that incorporating the human rights movement into U.S. political activism can help reunite a progressive movement that has historically been fractured. She pointed to recent history when the progressive movement allowed itself to be misidentified by the right wing as a movement of non-patriots.
"When progressives started to turn off on our country, they started to turn on each other," Thomas said.
She said that different progressive groups – the civil rights movement against racism, for example, and the women's rights movement against sexism – downplayed their commonalities to better protect their own turf.
Thomas said she sees the incorporation of human rights as a chance for progressives to create a unified front to combat racism, gender discrimination, classism, and other tenets that contradict the basic premise of human rights on a national level.
Rather than confronting each separate issue that stands in the way of equal rights, she said, activating a movement for human rights in the U.S. would provide a single rallying point for citizens – a movement for human equality.
After all, said Thomas, Americans are human, so human rights are as much of an issue for us as they are to the rest of the world.
Thomas's lecture was part of the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Distinguished Lecture Series, made possible by a generous endowment from the Sacklers. The series is designed to bring speakers from across the globe to the University of Connecticut to explore various human rights issues and trends.
In addition to the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Distinguished Lecture Series, Dr. and Mrs. Sackler are active in various other philanthropic activities both at UConn and internationally, including the establishment of other lecture series, support for wings at both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the British Museum, and the establishment of laboratories at academic institutions across the globe.

McKinley Carter Named 5-Diamond Certified Employer
Setting the bar for outstanding commitment to employee empowerment and community service
McKinley Carter Wealth Services, a financial services firm headquartered in Wheeling, W.Va, has been recognized as a Five-Diamond Certified Employer by the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce. Established to honor West Virginia-based companies that exhibit an outstanding commitment to employee development, community service, and employee empowerment, the awards were announced at the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce's Annual Human Resources Conference, recently held in Charleston, W.Va. All chamber member companies doing business in the state of West Virginia were eligible for the award, and McKinley Carter was one of just a dozen companies honored statewide. To be considered for the award, the WV Chamber considered the following areas as they relate to McKinley Carter's five-region operation: current employee policies, standard practices, continuing education opportunities, community service participation, and the ways in which the firm aims to empower its employees.
McKinley Carter President and Managing Director David McKinley, CFP®, attributes this statewide recognition to the firm's highly professional advisors and operational staff.
"The successes we have achieved are attributed to the quality of our team members and the bonds we share," McKinley said. "The Five Diamond Employer Award is a wonderful affirmation of what we've known for years — investments in our people produce tremendous returns for our team and the clients we serve."
Upon awarding the Five-Diamond Employer designation, West Virginia Chamber of Commerce President Steve Roberts said McKinley Carter is one of the employers setting the standard in the Mountain State.
"Your company is raising the bar for what it means to be an employer," Roberts said. "Through the empowerment of your employees, participating in your community, and continuing the development and integration of education opportunities for employees, you set the standard for businesses as a whole on how to pursue your goals in a manner that uplifts all."
While headquartered in Wheeling, McKinley Carter Wealth Services operates additional West Virginia offices in Charleston and Parkersburg, as well as offices in the Pittsburgh, Pa., and D.C. Metro region. The firm has enjoyed both national and additional regional recognition of late.
Last summer, McKinley Carter was named a Top 100 U.S Fee-Only Wealth Manager by CNBC, an authority in the financial industry. The firm was ranked 80th out of a nationwide pool of more than 15,000 fee-only wealth managers.
McKinley Carter's Pittsburgh office has also received industry recognition as Director of Advisory Services/Chief Compliance Officer Brian Gongaware, CFP®, and Retirement Plan Specialist Rod Diaz, CRPS®, AIF®, both received the "2016 Five-Star Wealth Manager Award" from Pittsburgh Magazine. In fact, this was Gongaware's fifth consecutive year to receive the prestigious honor.
McKinley Carter Wealth Services is an SEC-registered independent wealth management firm that provides Wealth Management and Trust Services for individuals and families committed to growing and protecting their wealth across multiple generations; Retirement Planning Services for businesses focused on the long-term financial success of their owners and employees; and Nonprofit Advisory Services for nonprofit organizations seeking long-term financial security and sustainability.

Hmm, interesting. Not sure what to make of it. I understand why this is "good for TV" … even though it seems like it will be limited to closed-circuit TV … but there sure is a lot to groan about here. I'll hold off on griping for now (until I think about it a bit more) … but I sure ain't looking forward to talking to any two-bracelet holding friends who won't be happy to see Don Cheadle getting to play.
BJ Nemeth says:
Two-bracelet winners clearly weren't eligible for this sit-n-go; it's obvious they were inviting players who didn't have any WSOP bracelets, so weren't eligible to be voted in.
If the TOC system requires sponsor exemptions (and it does, if we want a prizepool, and we do want a prizepool), then I think this is a great way to handle it. Except for Don Cheadle, that is. Restrict it to great, popular players or those with recent high-profile success, and this is a great format.
I know I sound like a TOC kiss ass, but I honestly think that Harrah's is doing a lot of things right with this. (Though Don Cheadle should not be on that list.)
Before anyone points out that Michael Mizrachi now has a WSOP bracelet (from the $50,000 Poker Players Championship), the criteria here is that he didn't have a bracelet in time to qualify for the TOC ballot.
I just scanned the single-bracelet winners on the TOC ballot, and as expected, didn't find Michael Mizrachi's name.
i agree. that's why i'm not griping (yet, lol). I totally get what they're doing here, think conceptually it's all great, and think it's fair the way they're creating the all-star concept.
Presumably in the next year or two, we will end up with a "Top 20" who aren't so ho-hum 2005. I'm willing to give them a break on that for now.
I even think it's cool the way they're doing the qualifying spectacle itself. (Curious who is filming it … the 441 group or PokerPROductions.) I mean it's not like Annie Duke personally made a phone call and got Don Cheadle into the TOC. She (presumably) just got him into a sit-n-go where he can beat 8 of the world's top players to qualify for the TOC. If he manages to win that, then you actually do have an extra-interesting element to the TOC itself.
I think what's rubbing me slightly the wrong way is the inbred nature of it, with WSOP, and WSOP Academy. Maybe next year we'll have a sponsor's exemption for WSOP-brand Energy Drinks? or WSOP fold-up poker table tops? That's still all better, I guess, than awarding a seat via a Jack Link's beef jerky eating contest.
I'm still not voting for the TOC, however, until they allow me to enter "bonus code: Pokerati" somewhere on the ballot.
Kevin Mathers says:
I don't think either, since it's going to be for WSOP Academy viewers only. There appears to have been a couple open spots on that list of nine. If Vladimir Schmelev won the 50k, there's no chance he's part of the field. It's encouraging that most of the names aren't part of the early days of the poker boom. If this was 2005, does James Woods get to be a part of the field instead of Don Cheadle?
lol, that's pretty funny, kevin. remember the days when hollywood celebrities just got seats into the media tournament? (i sat next to james woods in that event in '05.)
For a long time, the media event was called the media-celebrity charity event. They were as much a part of it as the media was.
WSOP Academy doesn't bother me as a sponsor at all, even with ties to the WSOP. Do you think there's a possibility for corruption? I don't understand your complaint here.
It's no different in my mind than the WSOP Europe pitching their own website (WSOP.com) as opposed to BetFair.com. Again, I don't see any problem there.
I don't see any issue with WSOP Academy either, if this is how they're going to attract people to their site, that's cool with me.

FYI, Annie Duke apparently had little or nothing to do with Don Cheadle's invitation. Here's what she said on Twitter:
"Obviously, I love Don Cheadle but I think it is ridiculous he is playing in the 9 handed tourney for a spot in the TOC. Should all be champs"
http://twitter.com/RealAnnieDuke/status/15720622851
huh. funny. i've had coffee since i first commented, so feelin' a little less grumpy … and now i think i want cheadle to win! would be pretty fun to see who bitches the loudest if he happens to luckbox his way through the sit-n-go. (i think one of my best friends in poker might actually have a chance of winning that contest.) also wonder if allen kessler has approved the SNG blind structure.

Who was responsible for inviting these players? WSOP Academy? Ben Affleck has accomplished more as a Poker Player than Cheadle.
All of you know I am good friends with Mark who teaches and owns a substantial portion of the Academy and I cannot believe he had anything to do with who was playing. If he did as a friend Im just going to shake my head!
I guess they threw in Cheadle as the "amateur" for training purposes? It makes zero sense to have him in the field when there's other people who could be considered.

As the TOC locks into the new format – it's hard to argue Don Cheadle has been an "All-Star" for Poker. Ante Up for Africa has painted the game in an elusive positive light and inspired numerous additional charitable events since its inception. Don's clout and friendships with A-list celebrities who come to play AUFA at the WSOP propel poker into the mainstream media every year. And by the way, as evidenced by performances in NBC Heads Up and other televised events…the guy can play a bit.
Instead of a sweepstakes entrant from a sandwich shop (which didn't seem to discount Mike Sexton's win in the last TOC) WSOP Academy is using the exemption seat to create tutorial content that will engage players and broaden interest in the game. The presence of an Academy-Award nominated actor from the summer's biggest blockbuster, whose knowledge base of poker is likely closer to most of the people who will be using the service seems reasonable. For one of the nine spots.
When a major film star loves the game enough to come play, against stacked odds, to try and beat out 8 world class players, and then best an additional 18 world class players, all for the chance to cash and make a donation to charity…seems that's something to celebrate.
I applaud WSOP Academy for creating a great concept to build more buzz for the TOC and poker in general…and thank every player in Thursday's "playoff" who graciously gives their time and talents.
It's going to be fun to watch.
Ty, I hope he's besting an additional 25 world class players and the winner from the UK.
If that means you're rooting for him – great. I meant as Don's intent is to play for charity – and the final 9 of 27 "cash" in the event – anybody in the field needs to beat 18 players/online qualifiers/hollywood actors to cash.
Ty there is some validity to what you said but asking players like Nam Le to agree may be difficult. No doubt Don has helped the image of poker so has Vanessa Shannon and all those stars at the LAPC celebrity event.
Ty — Your first two paragraphs defended your point well. I disagree, but you defended your point well.
In the third paragraph, you went too far, and weakened your own position:
"When a major film star loves the game enough to come play, against stacked odds, to try and beat out 8 world class players, and then best an additional 18 world class players, all for the chance to cash and make a donation to charity…seems that's something to celebrate."
You should have stopped typing before that. None of this has any relevance to the event.
Don Cheadle isn't doing anything extraordinary, or taking on any risk. He's being invited to a fun freeroll event that most poker players would kill to be a part of — even if they had to donate the money to charity. Meanwhile, if Cheadle is to be "celebrated" for donating any winnings to charity, should we chastise the other players for not doing the same? The charity defense has no place here.
WSOP Academy is putting up sponsorship money, so they get a sponsorship exemption. I applaud them for using it the way that they are. (As opposed to a random sweepstakes by Subway, for example.) If WSOP Academy wants to give Don Cheadle a seat, then that's their right.
But I don't think the "He's doing it for charity" argument is going to hold much weight with critics — this isn't Celebrity Jeopardy. I suggest that you stick to your first two arguments in the future, which are stronger.
Your last paragraph also goes too far. "…and thank every player in Thursday's playoff who graciously gives their time and talents."
Again, these players aren't making any sacrifices. There's nothing gracious about agreeing to participate in a televised million-dollar freeroll — every poker player on the planet would leap at the chance. Did you really have to twist any arms to get any of these players to participate?
I guess if I take to posting, I should be willing to be publicly chastised. 🙂
But I don't know you are acknowledging something I feel passionately about.
There may not be arm-twisting, but these players are giving up something….(and therefore being "gracious")
Their personal intellectual property. Something, which I believe has a lot of value…and will always respect.
While players will not be featured in advertising or promotion, the event is being taped for viewing by WSOP Academy subscribers.
Therefore, each players presence strengthens a new commercial initiative (the wsop academy)….with no guaranteed compensation to them. My appreciation is magnified even more by the potentially competitive dynamics (e.g. most players primary sponsor have their own tutorial sites and/or affiliates) in a world that increasingly promotes vertical, political fiefdoms.
Some would argue that a Durrrr in the US, Elky in France or Liv in the UK bring as much interest to the event as some of the players who will be voted in. It would have been reasonable and understood for any of the playoff invites to decline or feel that having to compete for a seat for a one in three chance of cashing was not an equitable exchange.
In a world of million-dollar coin-flips, I felt proud that each would honor the re-introduction of the event via their willingness to battle it out, old school for the last exemption. For these players, I don't think its just about money.
Kick out my soapbox, but the buzz for the TOC has increased given their participation in the playoff. And I'd rather acknowledge it than take it for granted.

Looks like Dwan decided to pass on the opportunity or something came up, and Gavin Smith has taken his place.
We'll be discussing the change (theorizing) on today's episode of "The Poker Beat."
Dwan's got 64k (top 10 stack) in the 10k 2-7 NL event starting in a couple of hours.


The father of the embattled CEO of Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah has threatened to expose top officials who took money from his son.
According to him, some top officials in the country collected an amount of 51 million cedis and shared it among themselves.
"These top officials want to make my son the bad person after taking 51 million cedis and sharing it among themselves. I don't want to mention names now but at the right time, I will do that because I am not afraid of anyone", he disclosed.
According to NAM1's father, he will curse anyone who has taken money from his son and speaks ill of him.
"We will curse anyone who has taken money from my son and calls him a thief. If my son has stolen anything from you, come forward and expose him.
I have evidence of monies collected from my son and I will expose all of them. Time will tell", he added.


Anderson knocked down 9 of 14 shots from the floor, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range, for the Fightin' Blue Hens (3-1) — off to their best start in 11 years. Carter added 19 points and 14 rebounds for the 15th double-double of his career. Ithiel Horton added 11 points off the bench for Delaware, which shot 54 percent (29 of 54) from the floor and outrebounded Cornell 38-26.
Sophomore reserve Jimmy Boeheim scored a career-high 23 for the Big Red (2-2). Matt Morgan added 21 points, five rebounds and three assists. Boeheim and Morgan combined to make 6 of 11 from distance, but the rest of the Big Red whiffed on all 12 attempts. Morgan has scored in double figures in 55 straight games and sits in second place on Cornell's all-time scoring list.
Cornell shot just 35 percent (9 of 26) in the first half, making just 1 of 8 from behind the arc, and trailed 34-23 at intermission.

Emerald City is a 1988 Australian comedy-drama film directed by Michael Jenkins, based on the 1987 play of the same name by David Williamson. Much of the play's dialogue is retained, though discussion of off-stage characters is usually replaced with their appearance, and a more conventionally cinematic level and speed of dialogue is maintained. Also, the younger daughter Hannah is omitted.

Plot
Colin, a principled screenwriter of some success, and his wife Kate, the editor for a publishing house, relocate from the warmer Melbourne to the more ruthless Sydney and soon become lured by the bright lights of the big city. Colin meets Mike, a hack but resourceful screenwriter with commercial ambitions, and strikes a partnership with him, while instantly falling for his attractive girlfriend Helen. Meanwhile, Kate starts working on a socially important book but soon begins to lose sight of her ideals in this new world of hustlers and cynics.

Cast
 John Hargreaves as Colin
 Robyn Nevin as Kate
 Chris Haywood as Mike
 Nicole Kidman as Helen
 Ruth Cracknell as Elaine
 Dennis Miller as Malcolm
 Ella Scott as Penny
 Haydon Samuels as Sam
 Nicholas Hammond as Ian
 Michelle Torres as Kath

Production
The film rights to the play were bought by Joan Long, whose first choice to direct was Bruce Beresford. However, he had just filmed an adaptation of the play Crimes of the Heart and did not want to do another play adaptation, so Michael Jenkins was hired instead. According to some accounts, the original draft of the script pared down the dialogue but John Hargreaves and Robyn Nevin insisted it be put back during rehearsals. Michael Jenkins decided to go along with the actors but had them speak the dialogue especially fast. Jenkins:
We sat down with the piece when it was in script form and we thought, 'This is not going to survive if we approach it too politely', so... we decided we would do it as we did – we were a bit inspired by some of the Cary Grant movies of the '40s when they talked so quickly. So we thought we would pursue that line and feed the information to an audience at a fairly fast rate so that it keeps happening for them. There were mixed critiques. We had some friends and some foes. Those that loved it loved it - those that hated it were very angry about how fast we spoke.

Possible inspirations
Williamson and Denis Whitburn worked on a World War II miniseries with director Chris Thomson titled The Last Bastion, which ran on Network Ten. The running time was 360 minutes. (Academy Home Entertainment released a version that ran only 160 minutes to US home video). The miniseries was much ballyhooed but was not well rated. Also, Williamson assisted his brother-in-law, Chris Löfvén, on Oz, an Australian rock musical film that retold The Wizard of Oz on the streets of Melbourne. The fictional Land of Oz rarely comes up in Australian conversation; the term is used almost exclusively as the nickname for one's own country.

The title of the play Emerald City has been used as a frequent moniker and nickname for the city of Sydney ever since the play was first presented. The title has been attributed to Brett Sheehy who was Sydney Theatre Company's Literary Manager when the play was written and first produced. The play's director Richard Wherrett recalls in his autobiography The Floor of Heaven: My Life in Theatre that Sheehy suggested Emerald City as the title, which Williamson accepted, adding the line of dialogue, "The Emerald City of Oz. Everyone comes here along their yellow brick roads looking for the answers to their problems and all they find are the demons within themselves."

Reception
The Australian Film Institute nominated the film for five awards: Best Actor (John Hargreaves), Best Achievement in Cinematography (Paul Murphy), Best Adapted Screenplay (David Williamson), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Nicole Kidman), and Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Chris Haywood), for which it won.

Williamson enjoyed the adaptation saying it "had a lot of raw energy".

Home media
The film has never been released on home video in the United States, though it has been shown on the cable channel Romance Classics. A region-free PAL DVD was released in the United Kingdom by an anonymous company in Herts (VFC31962 NL041; UPC: 5 017633 41002 >) sometimes given online as "Hollywood Classics". This edition was pressed with a ten-second jump in the master early in the film. Although this jump is noted in the counter, it happens in exactly the same place on all copies. In Germany, the film was released on DVD on 23 March 2012 under the title City of Sex.

Removing the Barriers: Prospects for Sanctions Relief Under a Final Nuclear Deal with Iran
By Elizabeth Rosenberg

Author, Senior Fellow and Director of the Energy, Environment and Security Program, Elizabeth Rosenberg provides recommendations for U.S. lawmakers on how to navigate the complicated web of sanctions on Iran and deliver credible relief in exchange for Iranian nuclear concessions under a final agreement. International negotiators and Iran will face a variety of challenges to ensure that relief on paper is delivered in practice. As Ms. Rosenberg explains, these range from extreme caution in the private sector about violating multilateral sanctions on Iran, to Iran's challenging business environment.

Symphony No. 4 (Mendelssohn)
Symphony by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
"Italian symphony" redirects here. It is not to be confused with Italian Concerto (Bach).
Symphony No. 4 in A major
by Felix Mendelssohn
Drawing of the composer by Eduard Bendemann, 1833
A major
1833 (1833), revised 1834
13 May 1833 (1833-05-13)
The Symphony No. 4 in A major, Op. 90, commonly known as the Italian,[1] is an orchestral symphony written by German composer Felix Mendelssohn.
2 Structure
The work has its origins (as had the composer's Scottish 3rd Symphony and The Hebrides overture) in the tour of Europe which occupied Mendelssohn from 1829 to 1831. Its inspiration is the colour and atmosphere of Italy, where Mendelssohn made sketches but left the work incomplete:
This is Italy! And now has begun what I have always thought... to be the supreme joy in life. And I am loving it. Today was so rich that now, in the evening, I must collect myself a little, and so I am writing to you to thank you, dear parents, for having given me all this happiness.[2]
In February he wrote from Rome to his sister Fanny,
The Italian symphony is making great progress. It will be the jolliest piece I have ever done, especially the last movement. I have not found anything for the slow movement yet, and I think that I will save that for Naples.
The Italian Symphony was finished in Berlin on 13 March 1833, in response to an invitation for a symphony from the London (now Royal) Philharmonic Society; he conducted the first performance himself in London on 13 May 1833 at a London Philharmonic Society concert. The symphony's success, and Mendelssohn's popularity, influenced the course of British music for the rest of the century.[3] The Germania Musical Society of Boston gave the first performance in the United States, on 1 November 1851, with Carl Bergmann conducting.[4]
Mendelssohn himself, however, remained dissatisfied with the composition, which cost him, he said, some of the bitterest moments of his career; he revised it in 1834[5] and even planned to write alternative versions of the second, third, and fourth movements. He never published the symphony, and it appeared in print only in 1851;[6] thus it is numbered as his "Symphony No. 4", even though it was in fact the third he composed.
Structure[edit]
1 – Allegro vivace (7:43)
2 – Andante con moto (5:48)
3 – Con moto moderato (7:06)
4 – Saltarello: Presto (6:08)
All files courtesy of Musopen
Problems playing these files? See media help.
The symphony is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. It is in four movements:
Allegro vivace (A major)
Andante con moto (D minor)
Con moto moderato (A major)
Presto and Finale: Saltarello (A minor)
The joyful first movement, in sonata form, is followed by an impression in the subdominant minor of D minor of a religious procession the composer witnessed in Naples. The third movement is a minuet in which French horns are introduced in the trio, while the final movement (which is in the minor key throughout) incorporates dance figurations from the Roman saltarello and the Neapolitan tarantella. It is among the first large multi-movement works to begin in a major key and end in the tonic minor, another example being Brahms's first piano trio.
A typical performance lasts about half an hour.

Croquet Club Guidelines for Members
There is a croquet club sub section committee which reports into the main Racquets and Fitness committee. Any queries, suggestions or complaints relating to croquet should be raised with the croquet committee.
Mixins
These run each week as follows:
Monday GMT 1pm BST 2pm Association Croquet (AC)
Tuesday 6pm (BST only) Golf Croquet (GC)
Thursday GMT 1:30pm BST 2pm GC
Saturday 10am GC/AC
Mix-in sessions usually last 2 to 2.5 hours for GC, 3 hours AC, depending on weather conditions and daylight.
All regular players are encouraged to put their names forward for inter club matches and sign up for club tournaments and ladders.
Coaching sessions are set up from time to time and may always be requested.
Visiting players are welcome, but must be accompanied by a club member. It is the member's responsibility to ensure that their visitors are aware of relevant club regulations / conventions and that the visitor fee is paid (this can be done at the reception desk). Visitors may attend a maximum of three times, after which they are expected to take up full membership.
Balls and the club's mallets are stored in the cupboard at the back of the main clubhouse. Keys are kept at the reception desk. In the pavilion are kept lawn maintenance tools, lawn pegs, extra turn tokens, bisque sticks and scoring clips.
If you are the last person leaving the croquet area at the end of a session, please ensure that everything is stored where it should be, both the pavilion and cupboard are locked, and keys returned to the reception desk.
Members are expected to use the clubhouse facilities for food and drink.
Bookings and calendar
Booking of croquet courts is done using the same system as tennis and squash courts. This may be done in person at the reception desk, by phone or online. The booking system allows for two games on each lawn. The number (1 or 2) identifies the lawn and A or B denotes the primary or secondary game. Please note when booking that mixing AC and GC games on the same lawn does not work.
Additionally there is a Google calendar (also visible on this website) which lists club league matches, tournaments, social events and committee meetings. Since the Google calendar and club booking system are not connected, if you are setting up either a league match or a club tournament you need to ensure it is entered in both calendars.
Members may book lawns at any times apart from regular mixins and club tournaments, but priority is given to league matches. Occasionally (usually no more than once a year) a mixin session has to be cancelled due to hosting a regional league match or tournament.
Our lawns are open all year and consideration should be given to weather conditions. Lawns (or parts of lawns) may not be used when frosty. At certain times, to protect the lawns, jump shots are not allowed. The committee will advise when this is the case.
So that play can start promptly some of our members choose to arrive early and prepare the croquet courts, which we greatly appreciate. This preparation may include:
Setting up pegs and adjusting hoops
Moving bird nets
Sweeping up twigs, leaves, worm casts etc.
We encourage all members to 'do their bit' and contribute to these activities before sessions start and help clear up afterwards.
We have eight sets of balls (four primary, four secondary). The balls in brown plastic tubes are for casual mixins and the Jacques balls in wooden racks reserved for match play. If after play balls have mud or lawn treatment on them, please rinse them before putting them away.
In common with most sports clubs, we expect members to provide their own equipment which in this case means bringing your own mallet. We have a pool of loaner mallets for beginners, visitors etc., but regular use of these by club members is discouraged.
Timekeeping at Mix-ins
Please arrive on time for mix-in sessions. This means that at the set starting time (see above) you should be dressed for croquet and ready to start playing. If you are not ready to play at the set starting time, we may not be able to accommodate you immediately and you'll have sit out until the first games have completed. When selecting players for the first games of the session, the priority should be to get play started on time rather than fitting in those who arrive later. In general once a game has started, the mix of players will not be changed.
At busy times, we set a time limit of 45 minutes on GC games. It will be made clear at the start of play that this is the case. The time limit applies to all games on both courts, no matter how tense and critical the state of play appears to be. When time is called, each player will play two more strokes at which point the score reached is the final score. Extra turns may not be used once time is called. No allowance is given for time waiting for other game(s) on the same court.
The personal information that you provide as part of the membership process is stored and used in line with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements, see the Privacy Policy elsewhere on this website for details.
Your Winchester Croquet Club membership includes membership of the Croquet Association (CA). Although you do not need to register with the CA to participate in Winchester club activities, this is required to enter some regional tournaments and to receive the CA monthly journal. In order to register for CA membership you will need to complete a GDPR consent form, ask a croquet club committee member how to do this.

Norcross Families
Chessie Nance was born in Duluth, Ga, in 1896, and moved to Norcross with her father, Jim, brothers Weldon and Juette, and other relatives around 1900. She married James E. Newton of Hazlehurst, GA in the 1920s, and they raised a family of six children, including sons James W. (J.W.), John, Ralph and Charles, and daughters Frances and Jeanette.
The family lived near the intersection of Buford Highway and Beaver Ruin Road, and Ann Barker, her granddaughter, recalls that "Mama," as she called her, worked as a laundress and cook for Lala Summerour, Sadie Webb and many other families in Norcross. Chessie was also a dedicated member of Mount Ararat Methodist Church in Duluth.
Local and visiting members of the family would frequently gather at Chessie's home on Sunday afternoons, enjoying a family meal including fried chicken, home-grown tomatoes and scuppernongs, cake and ice cream. Baseball and basketball kept the kids busy while the adults talked.
Chessie Newton passed away in 1989, and the family sold the land several years later for commercial development. Chessie's brother Juette Nance served in the US military in World War I, and he worked for many years later as a carpenter. He was often out of town at work sites during the week, but he would return home on the weekends. Ann Barker recalls fondly that they would walk together to downtown Norcross on Saturday mornings, where her great-uncle would buy her a Coke and peanuts as a treat at Garner's Store (today's Iron Horse Tavern.) On Saturday, Juette would catch up on events in his home town that he missed while away working.

While the proficiency levels in basic arithmetic of Nagaland students made for poor reading in the recently released Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) – 2018 report, they, however, did very well in terms of reading skills.
Nationally, the report stated that only 50% Class V students and 75% of Class VIII students could read Class II level texts. By comparison, in Nagaland, 61.4% of Class V students and 83.6% of Class VIII students could read Class II level texts.
The report indicated that reading levels also improved in the state over the years, especially in private schools. It informed that 39% of Class III students in private schools of the state could read Class II level texts in 2018. This was a marked increase from 33.7% in 2012, 17.6% in 2014 and 27.1% in 2016.
Government schools however showed a declining trend in reading proficiency levels. From 12.8% of Class III students in government schools who could read Class II level texts, that percentage dropped to 4.6% in 2014, 7.9% in 2016, and 7.4% in 2018.
Thanks to private schools, the weighted average showed an overall increase in proficiency levels from 20.5% in 2012 to 22.6% in 2018. It may be noted however that the intermediary years of 2014 and 2016 witnessed massive drops in the weighted average reading proficiency levels at 9.1% and 15.6% respectively.
The ASER report informed that the above criteria regarding reading assessment is its highest level. "This figure is a proxy for grade level reading for Class III," it added.
Meanwhile, batch-wise progress of students over the years held a steady level in terms of their reading proficiency, the report found.
It showed that 46% of students in a Class IV batch in 2008 could read Class II level texts. This increased to 61% when they reached Class VI in 2010 and 88% when they reached Class VIII in 2012. A similar study of a more recent batch showed that 24% of students in a Class IV batch in 2014 could read Class II level texts. The percentage increased to 68% when they reached Class VI in 2016 and 83% when they reached Class VIII in 2018.
The end percentage of students in these batches who passed the reading grade level also maintained a high average, consistently varying between 88% and 83%.

Q: how to display dropdown on cart page based on category? This is my cart page

Here i have added 3 dropdown list which is static and i want to show first 2 dropdown based on category "rings"
any solution?

A: I understand that you want to display 2 dropdown if a product from a specified category, is added in cart. To achieve that, a have build for you a simple module.
First let's declare our module in /etc/modules/Namespace_CheckCategoryOnCart.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Namespace_CheckCategoryOnCart>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Namespace_CheckCategoryOnCart>
    </modules>
</config>

Next, in /app/code/local/Namespace/Namespace we have the following structure
/app/code/local/Namespace/Namespace/etc/config.xml

Contains
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Namespace_CheckCategoryOnCart>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
        </Namespace_CheckCategoryOnCart>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <helpers>
            <checkcategory>
                <class>Namespace_CheckCategoryOnCart_Helper</class>
            </checkcategory>
        </helpers>
    </global>
</config>

Helper class:
/app/code/local/Namespace/Namespace/Helper/Data.php

Contains
<?php
class Namespace_CheckCategoryOnCart_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
    public function hasProductFromCategory(){
        $cart = Mage::getModel('checkout/cart')->getQuote();
        foreach ($cart->getAllVisibleItems() as $item) {
            $categoryIds = $item->getProduct()->getCategoryIds();
            foreach($categoryIds as $categoryId){
                if($categoryId == "YOUR_RINGS_CATEGORY_ID"){
                    return true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Now, in your cart.phtml you can check this condition using the following code:
if(Mage::helper('checkcategory')->hasProductFromCategory()){
      //show your dropdown
}

Araz-Naxçıvan PFK was een Azerbeidzjaanse voetbalclub uit Nachitsjevan.

De club werd oorspronkelijk in 1967 opgericht en speelde op lager niveau in de Sovjet-Unie. In 2000 werd de club, na een periode niet actief geweest te zijn, opnieuw gestart en speelde in het seizoen 2000/01 op het hoogste niveau. Een jaar later staakte de club weer de activiteiten. In 2013 werd opnieuw een poging gedaan en vanaf 2014 speelde de club in de Azerbeidzjaanse eerste divisie. De club werd tweede en promoveerde maar in november 2014 trok de club zich terug uit de Premyer Liqası en staakte wederom de activiteiten.

De club speelde haar wedstrijden in het Stadsstadion Nachitsjevan, dat plaats biedt aan 12.800 toeschouwers.

Functionality (Post Cipro, Pre Avelox): Functional with limitations due to the above symptoms. I was able to work full time and maintain a very active social life even with these limitations. After Cipro, I never felt completely healthy, and I certainly did not feel how someone at my age and with my healthy lifestyle should feel, but I was still able to function as a productive member of society.
Reason for Prescription: Throat infection. It should be noted that the prescribing doctor never conducted a throat culture and blood work performed on the same day the prescription was written indicated a normal white blood cell count. It is therefore reasonable to conclude that the throat infection was viral, rather than bacterial.
Dosage: 400 mg tablet once daily for 5 days. Due to the severity of my reaction, I only took Avelox for 3 days (3 tablets).
Severe uncontrollable full body shaking, tremors (internal and external), tingling, twitching, and burning sensations.
Severe digestive issues including chronic nausea, acid reflux, stomach spasms, diarrhea, abdominal pain, no appetite, intolerance to several foods, and inability to eat solid food for several weeks at a time.
Very rapid resting heart rate of up to 130 beats per minute. This can persist for as long as a day.
Episodes of profuse sweating, feeling very faint, and an overwhelming sense of fatigue.
Increased sensitivity to light and certain smells.
Brain fog and intense fatigue.
Joint and muscle pain : The pain is moderate and intermittent and occurs in the neck, shoulders, hands, knees, and ankles. Any form of physical activity induces pain.
Extreme muscle weakness: Inability to walk more than two city blocks (less than a quarter of a mile) without feeling overcome with fatigue and as though my legs are going to give way.
Weight loss: 10 pounds in one month.
Hair loss: At least a handful of hair per day.
Dry eye, dry mouth, and dry sinuses: Corneal ulcer developed as result of dry eye.
Cold feet and loss of sensitivity in feet: Feet feel as though they are submerged in ice.
Shallow breathing: This mainly occurred during my initial adverse reaction.
*NOTE: I did not experience these symptoms prior to taking Avelox. All of these symptoms appear in cycles, that is, they fluctuate between periods of relapse and improvement.
Functionality (Post Avelox): Disabled and unable to work or leave the house unattended. Since taking Avelox, I have very rarely left the house other than to attend doctor's appointments. I have difficulty performing or I am unable to perform routine daily tasks (such as showering, preparing food, doing dishes, etc.), dependent upon the severity of my condition that day (see note above regarding cycling).


Men-Ü Black Pepper & Bergamot Shower Gel is a very concentrated shower gel with a lot of active ingredients. If you use the shower once or maybe twice a day, you better should use a good product. This product will foam nicely and the formula contains multiple moisturizers to protect your skin against dryness. Vitamin B5 and E will help to keep your skin clean and healthy.
Apply a bit of Men-Ü Shower Gel in your hands or on a wash cloth and create lather. Massage gently on to skin and rinse carefully afterwards.

Serious review of London's Green Belt must be considered says LSE
New research by LSE for the disability charity Papworth Trust and the housing association Habinteg has highlighted a hidden housing market for 1.8m disabled people.
The new findings show a significant demand for accessible housing to rent and buy. Conducted by teams at LSE's Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE) and Ipsos MORI, the report, The hidden housing market, uncovers a fresh view that challenges assumptions about the potential for disabled people to buy their own home. The report also sheds light on the wider appeal of homes that deliver higher quality accessible features.
Headline findings:
1.8 million disabled people have an identified housing need – 580,000 of whom are of working age (there are 11.6 million disabled people in the UK)
Of the 1.8 million disabled people needing accessible homes, 56% are home owners with 39% having incomes in the top half of the income distribution
19% of the British public would most favour moving to a different property specifically designed or adapted to enable them to live independently in later life
Impact of unmet housing need for accessible housing – disabled people living in inaccessible homes are four times more likely to be unemployed.
The report also demonstrates some of the profound effects on working age disabled people of not having their need for accessible housing met, including an impact on health and wellbeing, the ability to engage in community life and, crucially, the employment market.
When surveyed on potential later life housing needs, fewer than 1 in 10 of the public (6%) say they would most favour moving to specialist care and supported housing, while the majority (59%) of disabled people who are 65 and over say that they will personally need some accessible housing features in the next five years.
Of course the benefits of accessible homes are not only experienced by disabled people. Whether they are a couple with small children, a young professional having furniture delivered to their first home or an active retiree grandparent – all can benefit from the features of inclusively designed homes.
Vicky McDermott Chief Executive of Papworth Trust said: "It has been widely assumed that disabled people do not have the means or money to purchase their own home. This report clearly dispels this myth and shows the demand for buying accessible homes, and the opportunity for developers to look again at their market.
"Papworth Trust's and Habinteg's on-going extensive research looks into the housing market, but also the impact the lack of accessible homes creates, highlighting the fact that people living in inaccessible homes are four times more likely to be unemployed.
"Building more accessible homes is a fundamental part of future-proofing the housing market, with a short term investment and a long term positive social impact on other services."
Paul Gamble, Chief Executive of Habinteg said: "Habinteg and others have campaigned about the lack of accessible housing provision in the UK for a long time. This new evidence is extremely important to the growing alliance who wants to see an increasing supply of accessible housing to rent and buy."
"New homes that are accessible, affordable and available must play a part in addressing the long term demands of UK housing policy, especially as the population ages. We're hoping to see a new commitment to this from the government, local authorities and developers from now on."
Papworth Trust and Habinteg have between them a long history of providing and promoting accessible and adaptable homes for disabled and non-disabled people. They have a jointly held belief that disabled and older people deserve better housing options and that the accessibility of new homes must be a priority – not only for the benefit of individuals and families but as a common sense way of future proofing housing investment.
The report includes four priority recommendations:
Developers should look again at their target markets and products. Are they missing out on a significant market opportunity?
Developers, planners and health and social care commissioners should take note of the desire of the public to maintain independence in mainstream housing and communities as they age or develop needs for care and support
Government departments should collaborate to investigate the relationship between unmet need for accessible housing and being out of work. As part of the government drive to reduce the employment gap for disabled people, understanding the fundamental role that appropriate housing play will be crucial
Improving our national data resources is critical if we are to respond effectively to the nation's housing needs. Disregarding the needs of families with disabled children from the official statistics is a missed opportunity to match housing need with accurate, evidence based plans

Oyster Grower Builder Checks Out His Work: Matt Brasells of Fairhaven stopped by Taylor Sea Foods on Long Island across from Hoppy's Landing and looked over dozens of brand new oyster growers manufactured by Ketcham Traps of New Bedford. Each trap is hand made and designed to take a pounding in the open water and can be seen off West Island. Matt proudly stated: "Made In The USA." Matt is my nephew and is also a fan of The West Island Weather Station.
