For Kids: Making tracks in history, fantasy
Toronto-based author Kenneth Oppel uses a moment in Canadian history as jumping-off point for his latest adventure story.
Toronto-based author Kenneth Oppel, best known for a couple of series that take to the skies (Airborn, which earned him a Governor General's Literary Award, and Silverwing, about a colony of bats), uses a moment in Canadian history — and an iconic photo taken at the time — as jumping-off point for his latest adventure story, one set on solid ground.
The Boundless opens with a ceremony held in 1885 at Craigellachie, B.C., to mark the completion of a transcontinental rail line that spans this nation. Historical figures such as Cornelius Van Horne and Donald Smith appear on these pages as themselves — Canadian Pacific Railway officials who can be seen in the iconic photo of Smith driving in the last spike, surrounded by various dignitaries, rail workers and one jarringly well-positioned youngster (identified historically as 18-year-old Edward Mallandaine).
Oppel, in his novel, has turned Mallandaine into his central character — a boy named Will Everett, whose father, James, helped lay the track through the Rockies. Will, impatient to see his father again, is waiting in Farewell (a.k.a. Revelstoke) with his mother, and busies himself with the sketchbook and pencil he always has on hand. His trackside drawings attract the attention of a bearded man who turns out to be CPR manager Van Horne; he, in turn, invites the boy to travel with him to the encampment where the ceremony will take place.
Historical fact, at this point, makes way for Oppel's imagination and the story picks up speed the way a train would once it leaves the station. Readers are treated to encounters with sasquatch, an avalanche that almost claims the life of Van Horne (Will's father rescues him), and a young tightrope walker/escape artist who captures Will's heart.
Three years later, a magnificent train called The Boundless enters the picture. More than seven miles long and pulling 987 cars (including numerous circus cars), it carries 6,495 people on its maiden voyage across the country. Ranging from first-class travellers to those in the colonist cars, its passengers present a poignant portrait of the difference in social classes. James Everett, by now, has risen in CPR ranks and is headed to Lionsgate City (think Vancouver) to launch CPR's steamship line. But first he will serve as one of the locomotive engineers driving The Boundless to its destination, because not only is the train a marvel in itself, but this trip also serves as Van Horne's final voyage by rail; his heavily fortified funeral car contains the CPR official's remains, the ceremonial gold spike and various other items of value.
Will, left to his own devices while his father drives the locomotive, reacquaints himself with Maren, the tightrope walker, and soon becomes embroiled in an adventure that ultimately claims the lives of scoundrels and heroes alike. Having witnessed Brogan, a ruthless brakeman, stab a guard to death, Will becomes the target of some desperate men who think little of eliminating anyone who stands in their way.

National Catholic Register: Priests Make Use of Social Media to Reach Their Flocks
Priests Make Use of Social Media to Reach Their Flocks
By Christine A. Smyczynski
. . .Another priest who is active on social media is Dominican Father Thomas Petri, vice president and academic dean at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. Father Petri has more than 10,000 followers on Twitter (Twitter.com/petriop?lang=en), which tends to skew younger demographically than Facebook.
"I think of social media as a new public square, where people are gathering virtually to discuss the news of the day and things that are meaningful to them," explained Father Petri, "although this is only an analogy, because you're not physically present with each other, and that can lead to all sorts of misunderstandings. The presence of priests on social media is just like the presence of priests in any other secular setting: We represent the Church and the sacred in the midst of the world."

Ade Gardner The Cumbrian flyer joined Saints from Barrow Border Raiders in October 2001 and immediately demonstrated his pace and evasive capabilities. He established himself as a first team regular in 2003, and made his 150th appearance in 2007. Despite saying he had a shocking game against Brisbane in the World Club Challenge in 2007, he scored two tries that rocked the Aussie Champions and sent Saints on their way to victory. He was the Saints highest try scorer in the 2006 Super League season scoring an impressive 22 tries and backed that up with an impressive 21 try tally in 2007. It was that form that saw him make his debut for GB in the Gillette International game against France in 2007 and a place in the GB squad that whitewashed the Kiwis in November.
In his saintly years Ade amassed an impressive haul of honours. He has acquired four Challenge Cup winning medals, a World Club Challenge winning medal and a Grand Final winning ring. Ade finished the 2008 season as the leading try scorer in the land with 31 touchdowns in cup and league games. He would be the first to commend the excellent service provided by successive Australian world class centres Jamie Lyon and Matt Gidley. This success however was tainted by a series of disappointing Grand Final losses to Leeds Rhinos in and a dismal World Cup campaign in Australia at the conclusion of the 2008 season.
The new decade saw Ade suffer a series of injuries which restricted his appearances and scoring opportunities. At the end of the 2013 season he had netted 173 tries and a most creditable 14th ranking in the all time try scorers list for the Saints.Ade finally hung up his playing boots at the end of the 2014 season after a spell on loan with Hull Kingston Rovers. He acquired the post of assistant fitness trainer with the Saints whilst undertaking a degree in Sports Sciences.

September 18, 1895 It was a hot and dusty afternoon in Davenport, Iowa. Relaxing in his favorite chair after several busy hours of seeing his patients, Dr. Daniel David (D.D.) Palmer sat reading a book. He overheard a very loud conversation between his deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, and one of his friends out in the hall of the Ryan Building. D.D. joined them in the hall and inquired of Harvey as to how he had lost his hearing. Lillard related that he had been so deaf for the past 17 years that he could not hear the sound of the wagon wheels on the street or the ticking of a watch. It had all started 17 years earlier when he had been working in a closet under the stairway. While working in a cramped, stooping position, something "gave" in his back, and he immediately became deaf.
D.D. Palmer
Founder of Chiropractic
Harvey Lillard
First Chiropractic Patient
D.D. examined the man's spine and found what appeared to be a misaligned vertebra. "Is this the cause of the hearing loss?" he wondered. For 30 minutes D.D. tried to persuade Mr. Lillard to allow him to replace the spinal bone by hand. Finally, with Harvey's permission, D.D. placed him face down on a bench in his study, put his hands over the misaligned spinal bone, and carefully thrust along the man's spine. Lillard got up, walked over to the open window, and turned to Palmer with a smile. After 17 years he could hear again.
Palmer began to research and refine the art, science, and philosophy of this new system, and in 1898 founded the Palmer School of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
At first D.D. thought he had discovered a cure for deafness, but, as he later wrote, "Shortly after this relief from deafness, I had a case of heart trouble which was not improving. I examined the spine and found a displaced vertebra pressing against the nerves which innervate the heart. I adjusted the vertebra and gave immediate relief. Then I began to reason if two diseases, so dissimilar as deafness and heart trouble, came from impingement, a pressure on nerves, were not other diseases due to a similar cause?" Individuals with all kinds of health problems, headaches, epilepsy, sciatica....the list went on and on. Soon people were traveling far and wide to experience Dr. Palmer's new discovery.
D.D. Palmer did not practice in the morning. One account tells of 91 patients seated in the healer's reception room waiting for one p.m., the appointed hour for D.D. to start his practice. As patients would come into his office, each would take a customary number from a hook. As the assistant would call out numbers, the patients would go into D.D.'s room for chiropractic adjustments. In the beginning patients were adjusted lying face downward on the floor, as no adjusting tables had been developed. ( It was said that many patients left with sore noses, jaws and occasionally a bloody nose for lack of comfortable chiropractic tables) The patients were in the adjustment room for only a brief period of time, usually about half a minute.
One of Palmer's early patients was Reverend Samuel Weed, a Presbyterian minister and scholar of Hebrew and Greek. When Rev. Weed's daughter returned home carrying her crutches in her hand after seeing Dr. Palmer and walking again without aid for the first time in over a year, he was finally prodded to see Palmer. D.D. explained to Rev. Weed that he had discovered a new method of health care for which he had no name. Further, he indicated to his new friend, he wanted a name from the Greek language.
Reverend Weed suggested three or four different names. Palmer looked them over and finally decided to combine two Greek words: "ciro" (key-row) and "praktoV" (prack-tose). Combined they formed "chiro-practic", meaning literally, "done by the hand".
In 1902, D.D.'s son, Bartlett Joshua (B.J.), trained by his father and one of the first graduates of the new Palmer School, took over the day to day operation of the college while his father traveled west starting chiropractic colleges in Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles. For the next 59 years B.J. Palmer lead the young profession and became known as "The Developer of Chiropractic". Through years of research and discovery, B.J. contributed many of the early innovations to spinal analysis and chiropractic technique, along with authoring 39 volumes of chiropractic philosophy. Under the direction of B.J. Palmer the profession grew to number in the thousands and their patients in the millions!

Police in an Australian city share images of a UFO during a thunderstorm
The extraterrestrials are real and transcend all borders; UFO sightings are constantly appearing all over the world, even in places as far away as Australia. In this huge corner of the world, the strangest cases have happened, like in 1966, when more than 300 students and teachers of the Westall High School in Melbourne saw a huge UFO flying in the sky before it disappeared behind some trees. Or in 1978, when a pilot named Frederick Valentich reported the presence of a mysterious object on his plane before disappearing without leaving a trace. And now, the police in the Australian city of Broome have shared a strange video of a UFO floating in the sky during a thunderstorm. What do they want to tell us?
The UFO during a thunderstorm
Police in Broome, in the extreme northwest of Australia, have shared on their Twitter profile some images of a security camera showing a strange bright light floating in the sky. In the video, you can see a bright object very similar to a UFO during a storm on the night of last Saturday. It appears in the sky after a flash of bright light. Then he remains motionless, seemingly illuminated by every flash in the sky, before moving away and then returning.
"After reviewing the closed-circuit television on the beach in the storm city of the previous night, it seems that we were not alone," reads the Twitter post , followed by several UFO emojis.
Recorded during a thunderstorm, the video immediately sparked all sorts of speculations about aliens, including Broome's own police, who suggested that the images might show a UFO.
And how could it be otherwise, after the publication of the video, several users suggested explanations, both logical and supernatural. The most skeptical said it was probably the reflection of the headlights of a vehicle in the security camera on the beach.
"I regret to be the one who solves this and, in fact, I am the idiot who has taken too much time to solve it, but the vehicle in the lower right is inverted at the same time that the device appears," an alleged video expert told British newspaper The Independent . "You can see the light reflected in your back window. This light bounces back and forth from the lens of the camera, which causes this effect. "
Of course, it seems that the "machinery" of misinformation has been put to work quickly to discredit this video, published by the police. It is for this reason that many conspiracy theorists have drawn their attention as it is possible that a sighting has had such an impact on the media around the world.
The answer to this would be that it is clear evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial spacecraft on our planet, and how we are constantly monitored by civilizations from other worlds. These beings would have controlled both governments and the media, which are responsible for giving logical explanations to their covert activities on our planet. But apart from the conspiracy theory, experts in the field assure that these ships feed on the energy of the storms, to be able to move through the different dimensions.
Although it is also clear that the United States is not the only place in the world where specular UFO sightings occur. Even places like Australia there is also the presence of strange objects in the heavens.
Now, what is your explanation about the mysterious object in the Australian city?

In 1968 I entered Queens College (CUNY) graduate school in Painting. I had completed a BFA at Wash. U in St. Louis, and I thought at the time "No way do I want to be like a western European male painter"; I don't want to paint like Cezanne, looking outward, mastering light, form, and space. I want to be making art that comes from my sense of female and body, art "from the inside out." The surprise came when I actually started doing that (see below, the image where you see folded canvas fabric, brown paper, sand, and paint.) I was just beginning to feel that I was getting somewhere when a faculty committee, all male, told me after my first year that they did not consider me a serious artist, that I should "go home, have babies, and teach grade school." The year was 1969, right before feminism hit the streets. I was crushed, but by no means destroyed!
I left NYC and continued to make art during an otherwise tumultuous period of my life. It seemed I couldn't stop. Ten years later, married and with a two year old son, I was in a graduate program at Mass College of Art in Boston. I wanted to find out if I was really an artist, and if not, why was I still making things? Below, you can see a few of the results of my self directed program in which I mapped my psyche using art. I needed to tap the darker side the most, definitely a "grounding" experience. After graduation, armed with a solid sense of my own inner geography, as well as the courage to "bring the inside out," I created work using fabric, latex, paint, plaster - all kinds of materials - in formats ranging from large scale drawings and paintings, to sculpture, to installation, and to collage.
Fast forward to the 21st century. Included above, you can see two collages, one with a bird, inspired by a trip to Costa Rica in 2002, and another in response to the sensual poetry in the Song of Songs. The latter piece was created at VCCA in 2003, the very same month that I visited the studio of an artist working with encaustic paint. Below are some examples of paintings I have done since that time, all using pigmented beeswax and damar resin, also called encaustic, also called "Hot Wax." All of these result from a deep response to a poem, to a resonant place, to a memory, or to a sense of what is beneath the surface of nature. All are a part of me, shared.

Mireddys González – Family, Facts & Biography of Daddy Yankee's Wife
If you are an avant-garde music enthusiast, you are probably familiar with the life and career of the Puerto Rican singer, songwriter, rapper, actor and record producer, Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez (popularly known as Daddy Yankee). He originated the terminology 'reggaeton' in 1994 to refer to a new music genre from his home country. Now known as the 'King of Reggaeton', the thirty-million-dollar worth artist is popular by any standard. But, many people do not know anything about his wife Mireddys Gonzalez who happens to be the focus of our attention. So, read on to get all the relevant and fun facts you need to know about Mireddys.
Mireddys Gonzalez Bio
Mireddys apparently avoids the spotlight that comes with being the wife of a superstar. As the CEO of her husband's record company El Cartel Records, she seems to mind business more than media attention. The result of this sort of lifestyle is that little is known about the white American woman. In any case, we are going to tell the much that has been made available so far.
Mireddys Gonzalez was born in America in 1977 and she commemorates her birthday on January 19 every year. Details of her family background (including the names and occupation of her parents and siblings) are hot known.
Mireddys is obviously a well-educated woman considering the astuteness with which she manages her husband's business. It even seems she studied a business-related subject at college levels. Yet, details of her education history are not available to the public and the media.
Going further, Mireddys Gonzalez is a music manager by profession. It is certainly the reason she has been able to manage her husband's recording franchise since 2001 as already hinted. Her work as a music manager is however not limited to El Cartel Records as she also renders her services to other clients. For instance, she reportedly signed contracts worth $20 million with Interscope Records and Pepsi.
Mireddys Gonzalez poses with her husband, Daddy Yankee: Image source
Mireddys Gonzalez's husband is the famous Latin recording artist Daddy Yankee – the founder and owner of the record company El Cartel Records where she fills the role of a manager and CEO. The two were born the same year – 1977. They had been dating each other since they were teenagers, got married when they were seventeen, and are still madly in love in their forties. Her husband revealed the secret of such an exceptionally strong and beautiful relationship in an interview he granted to the Spanish TV show host Maria Celeste Arraras, saying it is because they are friends above anything else.
For your interest, Mireddys' husband Daddy Yankee is a history maker – one of the most eminent ever in fact. Apart from originating the term 'Reggaeton' as already said, he first brought the music genre the term describes to global attention by releasing its first international hit single 'Gasolina'. His hit single 'Despacito' also became the first Spanish-language song to hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Above all, the video of Despacito has become the most-watched video in the history of YouTube. Besides, he has won over 80 notable awards from over 250 nominations.
Mireddys Gonzalez has two daughters and one son with her decades-long husband Daddy Yankee. Their daughters are named Yamilet and Jesaeelys while their son is named Jeremy. Yamilet was born in 1994, the same year that the couple got married. Jeremy and Jesaeelys were respectively born in 2006 and 2008. The kids are all grown up now, with the younger two being active on social media and the eldest keeping a low profile.
The family lives together happily. In March 2018, Mireddys and Daddy Yankee attained 23 years of married life and they celebrated it in a unique style. Daddy Yankee had hired a private jet for his lovely wife and had it decorated with a rich bouquet of flowers and balloons. Then, they were gushing over one another on social media. Besides, the entire family is often seen holidaying together at exotic locations.

Other Facts About Mireddys Gonzalez
1. Mireddys Gonzalez maintains a presence on social media. At the time of filing this report, she has just over 392 thousand followers on Instagram.
2. Mireddys is 15 days older than her husband. She was born on January 19, 1977, while her husband was born on February 3, 1977.
3. Daddy Yankee was her high school sweetheart and the only person she ever dated.
4. Apart from El Cartel managed by Mireddys, her husband has other record labels including Dream Team Killer, Los Cangris, Machete, Universal and Capitol Latin.

Transatlantic differences in management of carotid stenosis: BRIDGing the gap in stroke management (BRIDGE) project
Clotilde Balucani, Vanessa Arnedo, Jeremy Weedon, Didier Leys, Jean Louis Mas, Martin Brown, James C. Grotta, Nicole R. Gonzales, Werner Hacke, Thomas Brott, Steven R. Levine
Background and Purpose: Management of carotid stenosis remains controversial despite several trials evaluating carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid angioplasty/stenting (CAS). We compared attitudes in the management of carotid stenosis between selected experts within Europe and North America. Methods: A 3-phase Delphi survey was e-mailed to select stroke experts from Europe (n = 390) and North America (n = 289). Those completing the initial survey were shown all responses after each survey round. Consensus was defined as ≥ 80% agreement. Results: For phases 1, 2, and 3, response rates were 32%, 62%, and 73%, respectively. Overall, 100 (15%) of 679 participated in all 3 phases, 19% Europeans versus 9% North Americans (P =.0007). The European group reached consensus in 6 of 15 statements; The North American group reached consensus in 4 of 15. Ninety percentage of Europeans versus 70% of North Americans (P =.017) stated CEA is superior to CAS for symptomatic carotid stenosis. This difference was not significant in the final model (adjusted odds ratio: 3.72 [95% confidence interval: 0.95- 14.5]). Sixty-nine percentage of North Americans agreed there is a stronger indication for CAS over CEA in patients younger than 65 years for symptomatic carotid stenosis, whereas 55% of Europeans (P =.023) disagreed. For asymptomatic carotid stenosis, when asked how likely they would recommend CAS, 62% North Americans said "sometimes" versus 60% of Europeans said "never" (P =.06). Conclusion: The majority of North American and European respondents did not consider the 2 procedures equivalent and seemed to indicate that CEA was preferred for the management of carotid stenosis. These findings need to be further explored to help establish evidence-based guidelines.

N2 - Background and Purpose: Management of carotid stenosis remains controversial despite several trials evaluating carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid angioplasty/stenting (CAS). We compared attitudes in the management of carotid stenosis between selected experts within Europe and North America. Methods: A 3-phase Delphi survey was e-mailed to select stroke experts from Europe (n = 390) and North America (n = 289). Those completing the initial survey were shown all responses after each survey round. Consensus was defined as ≥ 80% agreement. Results: For phases 1, 2, and 3, response rates were 32%, 62%, and 73%, respectively. Overall, 100 (15%) of 679 participated in all 3 phases, 19% Europeans versus 9% North Americans (P =.0007). The European group reached consensus in 6 of 15 statements; The North American group reached consensus in 4 of 15. Ninety percentage of Europeans versus 70% of North Americans (P =.017) stated CEA is superior to CAS for symptomatic carotid stenosis. This difference was not significant in the final model (adjusted odds ratio: 3.72 [95% confidence interval: 0.95- 14.5]). Sixty-nine percentage of North Americans agreed there is a stronger indication for CAS over CEA in patients younger than 65 years for symptomatic carotid stenosis, whereas 55% of Europeans (P =.023) disagreed. For asymptomatic carotid stenosis, when asked how likely they would recommend CAS, 62% North Americans said "sometimes" versus 60% of Europeans said "never" (P =.06). Conclusion: The majority of North American and European respondents did not consider the 2 procedures equivalent and seemed to indicate that CEA was preferred for the management of carotid stenosis. These findings need to be further explored to help establish evidence-based guidelines.

Dubai launches first clean energy project
Dubai's first clean energy project was launched on Wednesday, using methane gas from a waste landfill site in Al Qusais to produce electricity and reduce the country's carbon footprint.
DUBAI // The emirate's first clean energy project has been launched, using methane gas from a waste landfill site in Al Qusais to produce electricity and reduce the country's carbon footprint.
The project, between Green Energy Solutions and Sustainability (Gess) and Dubai Municipality, will pave the way for reducing the country's CO² emissions and its organisers hope the programme will be implemented around the country.
It is expected that 300,000 tonnes of CO² a year will be eliminated.
Abdulmajeed Saifaie, director of waste management at the municipality, said it was "one of our best environmental projects".
The municipality has been trying to implement more sustainability plans. Last year, all shopping malls were required to have recycling initiatives.
The clean energy project meets the target to improve air quality, Mr Saifaie said, reducing the release of harmful methane into the air, a gas that is more than 20 times more potent than CO² in terms of its greenhouse effect.
The 20-year-old landfill is near residential areas and there had been many complaints about the smell and pollution.
"Now, the smell has gone and there are no more complaints," he said. The plant has since been covered in sand, which also eliminates the presence of scavengers.
Mr Saifaie said transforming these harmful gasses into green energy is a bonus on top of improving the quality of life for local residents. "It's turning something that's waste into something that's a benefit, reducing greenhouse gases and reducing the environmental impact landfills have on the world."
He added: "We hope other emirates will follow. In the region countries are often looking at Dubai to see what's happening and we are really hoping to lead the way on this."
Anita Nouri, business development director at Gess, said the team is "paving the way to expand this project to elsewhere".
The site receives 5,000 tonnes of waste a day and 20 kilometres of piping transports the methane collected from the 12 stations around the site.
"As soon as the waste arrives, it is covered and compacted so there is no smell, no fires and no scavengers," Mrs Nouri said.
Subhendu Biswas, director of First Climate, one of the advisers on the project, said it was "the biggest CO² mitigation project in the region".
Such projects, he said, are more prevalent in cooler countries such as Brazil and China. "The moisture gets out of the landfill over a period of time so in climates such as the Middle East it makes projects such as this harder," he said.
The project, funded by Gess is not intended to generate profit, but to reduce the UAE's points on the United Nations carbon emissions register.
"The fact it produces electricity is an add-on but right now it's only powering the plant and nobody is buying the fuel," Mr Biswas said. "But at least it means the site is powered for free now."
Faheem Shafiq, sales manager at Intelligent Energy, which was also involved in supplying the project's equipment, said there is potential to generate 12 to 15MW of energy, though it currently produces just one. "Even if this site closed down tomorrow, it can still run energy for the next 20 to 25 years on 12MW," he said.

Five Famous Flops Made By Five Entrepreneurs Who Eventually Became Billionaires

We sure to like to talk about our favorite billionaire entrepreneurs and their successes here at Celebrity Net Worth. It's enough to give a budding entrepreneur a fear of failure complex. But even the richest and most successful were once just starting out. Not every idea these now wildly wealthy men had was good. In fact, some were downright atrocious. Let's take a look at some famous flops by now successful entrepreneurs.
Steve Jobs was, of course, wealthy and famous for being the co-founder of Apple and the idea generator behind some of today's most beloved technology. However, back in 1985, Jobs was unceremoniously dumped by the company he founded. Apple's Board of Directors fired him. Fortunately for everyone, Jobs came back to Apple years later and launched the iMac, iPod, iPhone…

PayPal founder Peter Thiel hit it big with the first online payment network, but he wasn't always so lucky. Prior to becoming an integral part of Silicon Valley, Thiel ran a hedge fund called Clarium Capital. His fund lost 90 percent of its $7 billion in assets in the stock market, oil prices, and currencies.
Twitter and Square founder Jack Dorsey hit upon a pair of brilliant ideas when he came up with the ideas for the companies he founded. He actually got the inspiration for Twitter when he was working at the failing podcast company Odeo. At the time, he was supposed to be coming up with ideas to save Odeo. Instead, Twitter was born.
Spotify founder Daniel Ek is worth an impressive $400 million today, but the serial entrepreneur didn't always have the best track record. In fact, even though his dream at one time was to work at Google, he failed to make enough of an impression with HR to land a job there. Fortunately, that failure inspired him to work even harder at finding an idea he was passionate about.
Bill Gates is a billionaire many times over thanks to Microsoft and the PC revolution. However, he also had an early failure of sorts. While still in high school Gates and his friend (and future Microsoft co-founder) Paul Allen launched a traffic counter company called Traf-O-Data. They marketed their services to local governments, but were quickly driven out of business when Washington State started offering a similar service for free. Fortunately, bigger things were in store for Gates.

Q: Need jshint error on forgotten 'var' keyword I'm using JSHINT, and noticed that it doesn't throw an error when I have the following code:
function barfoo() {
    a = 10;
}

I want an error for every globally defined variable. I have now the following gulp task
var options =  {
    laxcomma: true,
    strict: true,
    validthis: true
};

gulp.task('default', function () {
    gulp.src('di.js')
      .pipe(jshint(options));
});

and it doesn't throw anything on this code
Furthermore, there is a place in my code where I do need create a global variable, so it would be nice to let jshint ignore that one. Is something like this possible ?

A: The option for undefined variables is undef, e.g.,
var options = {
    undef: true,     // Add this
    laxcomma: true,
    strict: true,
    validthis: true
};

Mine does this by default, I had to add the laxcomma bit, and that didn't disable the undef flag.

Podcasting at NPR: The New Radio
By Lauren McLemore, NYU SPS MS in Publishing '24
When I think of NPR, I think of the car radio on as I sit in the backseat while my neighbor's mom drives us to school – a sentiment shared by many of the NYU MS in Publishing students who recently attended an industry visit to NPR's New York office. Our host, Will Lee, Chief Operating Officer, had invited us to gather around a conference table and share what comes to mind when we hear the name NPR. It quickly became apparent that today's NPR is very different from what we listened to during all those trips to school.
With an audience of 48 million weekly listeners and readers of NPR's vast range of platforms, and 1,000 stations broadcasting nationally, the brand itself encompasses radio, smart speakers, npr.org, social media, live events, NPR apps and podcasts. In fact, we had the privilege of diving deep into the world of podcasting with Lee, as well as with Yolanda Sangweni-Lark, Vice President of Programming & New Content Development; Louisa Conklin, Change Management at NPR; and Lauren Gonzalez, Senior Manager of Programming. NPR currently has over 45 podcasts ranging from politics to music to society & culture to entertainment & comedy. Some are produced daily, some weekly, and others as special limited series designed to tell one in-depth story.
NPR's Chief Operating Office and Center for Publishing Advisory Board Member, Will Lee, discussing NPR podcasts
The NPR team discussed with us everything from how long it takes to know you're interested in media content before changing the channel (2 minutes for some; a whole episode for others) to seeing Secret Service agents in the office in preparation for Michelle Obama's upcoming visit to the bureau. It was very clear that the team loved the world of podcasts and sharing their enthusiasm. In fact, Lee reminisced about how important radio was to his childhood.
"My paternal grandfather was the head of the Korean Broadcasting Corporation in Korea before the Korean War," Lee said. "My dad was a big radio fan. And he bought me – none of you will know what this is – a shortwave radio for my eighth birthday, so I could get the BBC World Service, because we thought it would improve my English."
Sangweni-Lark, who oversees a portfolio of podcasts including Code Switch, Throughline, and It's Been a Minute, also believes in the power of storytelling through radio.
"I'm from South Africa. And to this day, radio is still king in many parts of the world. I know, we have all digital stuff, but I think radio is still the way to reach a lot of people," she said.
According to NPR's most recent media kit, radio is still king, with 19 million monthly NPR podcast listeners being surpassed by 24 million weekly NPR radio listeners.
However, podcasts are becoming, in a way, the new radio. With Spotify and Youtube and other on-demand ways to listen to your favorite shows, it's quickly becoming the preferred way of listening among NPR's audience. 10.7 million listeners are tuning in monthly to on-demand NPR downloads on smart speakers.
Publishing students listening to NPR's podcast team
Every podcast begins as an idea. It often starts with Gonzalez, who filters through the pitches that come into NPR and asks a few main questions: Why? Why this show? Why now? Why NPR? With countless ideas coming across her desk every day, it's not always an easy decision.
"I think NPR is always going to be a place where we are seeking to create and foster a better-informed public. We're always going to be in service of cultural expression within this country," Gonzalez said.
It takes a village to run the operation that NPR hosts in their New York office, which makes people like Conklin, a vital member of the change management team, invaluable. While her focus is clearly on the radio to podcast shift (among many other things), she sees the parallel to publishing.
"In something like publishing, moving from a legacy platform like a printed book to a new platform such as audio and digital, that's one kind of change." Conklin said. "You have to think about how many players are impacted by that."
At the heart of podcasting, the ethics, the standards, and the commitment to public interest that NPR is known for prevails. This is best understood by the quote from the late NPR reporter Margot Adler, which is prominently displayed in the NPR New York office:
"I have found that the issues of who's in the government are not very interesting compared to, you know, real characters, people who live their lives here, lessons that are learned. I think we've learned more from characters and people and stories than we have from officials."
During our visit to NPR, we had a strong sense of the team's commitment to real people facing important issues of our times. It was a great way to learn how the old NPR of our school days had evolved and expanded. Some of us listened to a podcast on the way home!!
Lauren McLemore is a first-year MS in Publishing student. Within publishing, she is passionate about partnering with talented storytellers, and she hopes to build her career in publicity & events after graduating. She remains inspired by everyday people, contemporary fiction, art museums, the Modern Love column, and the Sunday crossword.


When I opened up my first Bundle from FotoBella.com, I was delighted to see that I received the Vivienne "I want it all Bundle" from Basic Grey! The colors in this collection are gorgeous! And the patterns on the Designer Paper are reminiscent of beautiful quilt fabrics you might find in your Great Grandmother's old trunk. Soft beautiful pastels, contrasted with deep browns and earthy pale yellows...It is simply yummy! There are lots and lots of coordinating embellishments with the Vivienne "I want it all" Bundle, so many that they barely fit in the photograph! But good news! To help you keep everything together and organized your Bundle is delivered inside of a handy FotoBella Storage Organizer! How great is that?!
Included is this gorgeous Designer Paper, (24 sheets and 3 sticker sheets), Die cuts and Transparencies, Chipboard shapes and Alphas, and cute little Frames with acetate overlays. There are Resin Flowers, Laser Wood Stickers, and 2 sets of Hero Arts Stamps (Good Day and Sweet You).
Buying a Bundle is definitely the best way to save money on your favorite Paper Collections, however, it may be a bit overwhelming when it first arrives. And especially when you see all the wonderful embellishments and accessories that come with it! So let me share with you my method for "deconstructing a bundle" and show you how you can create multiple projects with just one purchase. By going through a few simple steps, you can organize and plan your paper crafting projects, and get the most out of your crafting budget!
Step 1. Organize your Designer Paper.
On a large table, or work area, place the papers side by side in a big paper fan. I put mine in order of color, darkest to lightest. Since there are two sheets of each design paper in the bundle, you can actually see each and every paper when you do this. It gives you an idea of what colors you are working with, and ultimately which papers you will choose for your projects.
There is a LOT MORE to a FotoBella I want it all Bundle than just paper! Lots more!
Open up all the packages of embellishments and lay them out on a big table. This allows you to actually see what you have to work with. You will be pleasantly surprised at how many wonderful stickers, chipboard pieces and other fun embellishments there are to a FotoBella bundle! Are your creative juices flowing yet?
With the Vivienne Bundle, you receive acetate frames and embellishments. I would recommend putting a white piece of paper under the frames so that you can easily see their size, shape, and how cute they are! Keeping them stored in their packaging does NOT do them justice! At this point you can start to group similar items together, so that when you're designing your project you can find things easily. Move the pieces around, the ideas for projects will really start to happen now!
Now it's time to integrate your own special style into the Collection. Chances are you have a "Stash" of supplies that you commonly use. Things that you use that add that signature touch to your projects. Find inks, ribbons, trims and buttons from your own stash and put them on the table with the Bundle. Look at all these gorgeous colors and textures! Can't you just imagine how pretty your projects will be with this Vivienne "I want it all Bundle"?
With so many wonderful papers and embellishments at your fingertips, it will be a breeze to create beautiful projects for your family and friends. So let's do just that!
Here is a pretty Friendship card I made using only what was in the Bundle.
It's quick and easy so let's get started!
Begin with an A2 size card. A2 cards are 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
Cut a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" card stock in half horizontally. Make the cut as shown.
Score the card stock at 4 1/4" and burnish the fold with a bone folder.
Cut two pieces of Design Paper as shown.
Brown patterned paper: 2 1/2" x 5 1/2", Green patterned paper: 2" x 5 1/2"
Set Sticker sheet next to your project.
Adhere the Green patterned paper on the bottom half of the card.
Adhere the Brown patterned paper to the top of the card. It will overlap the Green paper slightly.
and adhere to the card on the line where the two papers meet.
With Vintage Photo Ink, distress the edges of the card if desired.
Remove the Friend sticker from the sticker sheet, and set on craft sheet or in a tray.
Using Pop Dots or dimensional tape, adhere the Sticker to card front, right along the seam line. Adhere the back of the arrow to the card with pop dots, and the front of the arrow to the Friend sticker.
Adhere a green and brown chipboard "corner" to the card on opposite sides, and add a flower sticker.
Add green gemstones in corners if desired. Now your card is ready to send to your best friend!
The possibilities are endless with the Vivienne Bundle from Basic Grey! From Scrapbook pages, to home decor projects for your home, you will find countless ways to use this amazing bundle!
And of course, it's just perfect for making cards.
Great tutorial ReNae!! I love how you showed your process of working with the bundle! Fantastic cards too!
These cards are really beautiful!
Thank you Drea and Apryl!
It is easy to create cute cards when the paper is so pretty!

Q: C++, basics about inheritance If I have derived class called PeekingIterator, and the base class call Iterator. The derived class re-use the members and member function of the base-class. Now in C++, inheritance doesn't inherit private member.
But in the example below, struct Data and Data* data are private member! So my question is: how can we call Iterator::hasNext() function inside the derived class PeekingIterator,  when it doesn't even inherits  struct data and Data* data!?
Question Link
// Below is the interface for Iterator, which is already defined for you.
// **DO NOT** modify the interface for Iterator.
class Iterator {
    struct Data;
    Data* data;
public:
    Iterator(const vector<int>& nums);
    Iterator(const Iterator& iter);
    virtual ~Iterator();
    // Returns the next element in the iteration.
    int next();
    // Returns true if the iteration has more elements.
    bool hasNext() const;
};

class PeekingIterator : public Iterator {
public:
    PeekingIterator(const vector<int>& nums) : Iterator(nums) {
        // Initialize any member here.
        // **DO NOT** save a copy of nums and manipulate it directly.
        // You should only use the Iterator interface methods.

    }

    // Returns the next element in the iteration without advancing the iterator.
    int peek() {

    }

    // hasNext() and next() should behave the same as in the Iterator interface.
    // Override them if needed.
    int next() {

    }

    bool hasNext() const {

    }

A: Inheritance in c++ embeds an object of a base class into an object of a sub class. You inherit everything. You just can't access everything directly.
Now, since hasNext() is public, you can call it (and still could if it was protected). hasNext() itself can access the private parts of Iterator (which are added to PeekingIterator by Iterator). So everything will work.

A:
So my question is: how can we call Iterator::hasNext() function inside the derived class PeekingIterator,  when it doesn't even inherits  struct data and Data* data!?

That's the basic of encapsulation - you keep the data private (struct data), but you expose public member function (hasNext()) so it can be accessed by derived classes.

A: Iterator::hasNext() can be called from any function in PeekingIterator. For example:
bool PeekingIterator::hasNext() {
   bool b = Iterator::hasNext();
   ....
 }

UK NEWS: MAN CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF TYRELL MATTHEWS-BURTON IN CRETE
By Janice aka Miss Mad News on July 25, 2013 • ( 9 Comments )
Victim: Tyrell Matthews-Burton
Via The Guardian
Greek police investigating the fatal stabbing of a 19-year-old British tourist on Crete have charged a man with the killing.
Myles Litchmore-Dunbar,19, has been charged with the murder of Tyrell Matthews-Burton as well as possession of a weapon.
Police attributed the murder to gang violence between rival groups in Britain. As 19 other Britons arrested in connection with the crime appeared before a public prosecutor on Wednesday, police said they had begun to assemble a picture of two gangs "bent on destroying one another".
"They had scores to settle long before they arrived here," said a police officer, Yannis Phillipakis, in Heraklion, the island's capital. "Unofficially, what we are hearing is that they brought their gang warfare to Crete."
The murder on Tuesday of Matthews-Burton, a shop assistant, in the island resort of Malia sent shockwaves through Greece.
The young Londoner, described by neighbours as a "little gentleman", was stabbed in the back and chest as a drunken row quickly turned into a brawl with other British holidaymakers. The ferocity of the attack caused the local coroner, Manolis Michalodimitrakis, who examined the body, to liken the assault to an execution. Continue Reading….
Myles Litchmore-Dunbar has been charged with the murder of Tyrell Matthews-Burton as well as possession of a weapon.
It has been reported that Litchmore-Dunbar attends Northampton University where he is studying Economics and he is also a part time model.
My heart goes out to Tyrell's family.
I am just angry and disgusted right now. How low of a human being can you be to commit such wickedness? I cannot believe that the animals responsible for Tyrell's brutal and senseless murder went on holiday armed and hungry to leave nothing but carnage in their wake.
Can someone please explain this insanity to me?
I hope the guilty individual/s go down for this and spend the majority of their miserable days suffering in a prison cell in Greece.
Handcuffed British suspects appear in Heraklion Court Crete, Greece.

Was it a gang related stabbing? So now gangs go on holiday together?
Chico-Rei says:
This just pissed me off, this is why black rappers in the UK can't perform at venues, why are you gonna take a beef on holiday with you, this kind of madness has been going on since black people start going to Napa, white people get in fights with the worse being someone getting bottled but we've got to take it too far. SMH.
Tahirah (@tahirah) says:
Just to note – I know Tyrell's family very well. HE wasn't involved in any gang nonsense, so it's really angering me that the 'media' as usual are trying to make it seem like he was affiliated with the thugs who murdered him. He was pretty much caught in the cross-fire.
Nubiahbella says:
@Chico-Rei so you haven't read the news of White people killing their wives on Honeymoon (especially when they go to Africa unless being there reveal the African in them lol).
On a serious note, are young people now ok to take so easily the life of another human being and is anyone still scared of spending life in jail?
Janice aka Miss Mad News says:
Who is feeding this police officer this nonsense?
Everytime they mention black people, they always have to make it look like it's gangs, to be honest when you hear the actual story it does sound like he was caught in the crossfire of a big brawl, which could happen to anyone @Nubiahbella British people abroad always get a bad rep no matter what race, but when it's black people it's even worse.
What I really don't understand is, this was a guy who worked to get into university, it's no like he's a street kid with no opportunities which still isn't an excuse, why are you even walking around with a knife in the first place SMH.
I don't know what's worse it being a gang or the fight being about football. Now we have lost two black youths to dumbness.
florencerydia says:
Hurt.shocked horrified words cant express my thoughts over this.. I'm a mother ,what Tyrells family must be going through. I'm thinking did these young men travel with these weapons.. how does that happen???can any parent ever say 100% that their child has no links to any "gang nonsense "ever. Gang and street culture has become so prevalent and accessible to all through social media,schools ,music and sport.
Surely there's something wrong in society when a person feels the need to pack a knife as well as the usual items for a holiday. Again something is indeed wrong where the bigger compulsion is to film and save footage re the misfortune or the last dying breaths of another for posting on a social media site later,rather than offer any immediate help or comfort,. The pictures show anger and ambivalence on the faces of the young men allegedly involved,where is their sense of sorrow and or shame re at the loss of a life.
At what point did having a job and an education prevent wickedness?don't be fooled by societal stereotypes ,our prisons and young offender institutions are homes to aspirational and educated people too,who in a moment of madness lost everything. we must do more to re-engage our young in the very basics i.e the value and respect for life.
How did we allow mass media to become the nanny to so many of our children, instilling in them ,the need to live fast and furious with little regard for the well being of themselves or others. Thug mentality seems to me to be the driving force in many of our communities ,the use of mindless brutal violence being touted as the way to vent anger and show dissatisfaction. We where the future ,what do we give our children to work with ,what legacy do we leave them.May Tyrell RIP
Tahirah (@tahirah) :
Ditto Tahirah. I know the family very well, he was not a thug!! I hope the idiots who did this rot in hell.
original facts only says:
Tyrelle lost his life myles is potentially about to lose his. This is more then sad it's heartbreaking but instead of the stupid government taking note that we have a serious problem on our hands as parents and young people of today they be running round throwing bogus stories in the mix… My deepest condolence to Tyrelle's family and as for myles mother tell your son to either tell the "truth" or handle whateva punishment which comes his way. The media need to start reporting facts and leaving their stupid opinions/hearsay out

Odisha plans more eco-retreat camps
By TBM Staff | Mumbai Monday, 26 July 2021, 6:25 PM 664
In a bid to revive tourism, the Odisha government has decided to establish more eco-retreat camps in the state. It has also decided to start a motorcycling festival in the Kandhamal district this winter to attract more tourists, a senior official has revealed.
AK Tripathy, Principal Advisor to the Chief Minister and Chairman of the Western Odisha Development Council (WODC), said that Kandhamal with its waterfalls, forests, and streams will soon be turned into a major tourist spot in Odisha, as reported by news agency PTI.
During his visit to the district on Saturday, Tripathy said that the Kandhamal district is full of natural beauty. And, its hill ranges are part of the great Eastern Ghats. An eco-retreat camp that was started at Daringbadi last year received an encouraging response from the tourists. More such eco-retreat camps would be arranged this year, too, at attractive locations," he told reporters.
The primary task began with collector D Brunda identifying roads leading to the dazzling waterfalls at Kuturi, Putudi, and Katramal to develop those. Tripathy directed Vinit Agrawal, Superintendent of Police, to promote the district as a motorcycling circuit and to also link it with Chandaka near Bhubaneswar. He asked Agarwal to develop the circuit in coordination with bikers' clubs in the state and other parts of the country, and start a motorcycling festival in winter.
"There are many excellent roads passing through forests and other beautiful locations which can offer an exciting motorcycling experience to nature lovers," Tripathy added. He has also asked the district administration to locate a proper destination for establishing a museum to safeguard the art and culture of Kandhamal. (Source: Financial Express)

The News-Leader's summer trip to find the toughest holes in southwest Missouri will end at one of the most challenging courses in the area.
Millwood Golf & Racquet Club, tucked in the hills just southeast of Springfield, already has established itself as one of Missouri's top courses despite being around for just 20 years.
It annually hosts one of two Monday qualifiers for the Web.com Tour's Price Cutter Charity Championship, and has been the home to Missouri Golf Association state events.
And while the entire course is quality, it's the seventh that stands out as the toughest.
"It's a narrow tee shot from the back tees. The trees on the left come into play, and definitely the ones on the right. There's out of bounds right. It's a narrow landing area. And from there you've usually got anywhere from 210 to 200 yards in," Millwood assistant pro Ross Laney said. "For a lengthy par-4, it's a narrow green, and small.
"You make five there, you're doing all right."
So, other than that it's not too challenging.
Springfield native and professional golfer Kevin Kring has played just about every course in southwest Missouri, and said the tee shot at Millwood's seventh hole stands up to any in the area.
"(It's) one of the toughest tee shots around because if you miss what is a very narrow fairway, the odds of making par are almost zero," Kring said. "The safe shot off the tee is generally a 3-iron or hybrid, but then you'll need to keep it out of the approach to a tiny green."
Because my golf game is neither safe nor smart, I pulled driver for my tee shot from the blue tees. The seventh hole measures 479 yards from way back there, making it one of the longest par-4s in Missouri, and I am not a long hitter, and hey, why not crack a driver when it doesn't count for anything?
Anyway, that drive ended up being half-decent, finishing in the fairway. But as Laney and Kring both warned, I was left with a long second shot into the green.
By my (probably inaccurate) count, I had 216 yards to the middle of the green, into a slight breeze, with the ball resting slightly above my feet.
The ideal play would have been a high fade, but that wasn't going to be possible. My hybrid approach shot, while hit well, finished in a greenside bunker about pin high.
After knocking my bunker shot over the green because I'm bad at bunker shots, I chipped to five feet and rolled in a putt to save bogey.
I'll take that, having never played the course before and being sufficiently intimidated by the local knowledge I was given before heading to the tee box.
We didn't reach every course in the area this summer. Not even close. But whether you choose to play your golf in Springfield or the middle of nowhere, I hope we've made it clear that there are plenty of good/great courses on which to hone your game.
While this series was always about trying to play the toughest hole, at the end of the day golf is a game meant to be enjoyed.
That said, you don't always have to worry about degree of difficulty. Sometimes you just need to swing away and enjoy.

Q: akka - testing a particular log entry I'm writing unit tests for Akka actors and want to verify log entries; e.g. test xyz wrote to the error category.  (You know, let's say I send an actor a message via ! instead of ?.)
In the actor, I'll write to log for error or info or debug, etc. case depending on result of the message handled by "receive".
For akka 1.2 or 1.3, how should I go about this?  Example: add a new listener to EventHandler?  Other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Todd

A: John has the basics covered in his answer already (I'd pipe the message to the testActor instead of using a TestLatch, but that is a matter of taste). I know it does not fit your requirements, but maybe the following can lure you into Akka 2.0?
EventFilter.error(message = "some message", occurrences = 1) intercept {
  // do something which should trigger such a log message
}

These facilities come from the akka-testkit, specifically akka.testkit.TestEventListener and akka.testkit.EventFilter. The code shown above will wait for up to three seconds (configurable in "akka.test.filter-leeway") for the message to appear and give an informative error message if that does not happen.

Selfoss is a town of about 6,512 people in South Iceland, by the banks of the river Olfusá, one of the largest rivers in the country. The town is a centre of commerce, farming, horticulture and small industries in South Iceland.
Browse a large range of South Coast tours in Iceland.
Located 50 kilometres (31 miles) from Reykjavík, it is the largest town outside of the capital area in the southwest. It sits on the Ring Road that encircles the country, and is one of the last stops en route to the South Coast.
The name is Selfoss is somewhat of an anomaly. The word 'foss' in Icelandic means 'falls', therefore place names such as Gullfoss, Goðafoss and Svartifoss all refer to waterfalls; there is even a waterfall in the north also called Selfoss. In the town, however, the river is flat, and no one is quite sure why it is named such.
History of Selfoss
Records of the lands near Selfoss date back to the first man to permanently move to Iceland, Ingólfur Arnarson; it was said he spent the winter of 873 to 874 AD here, beneath the mountain that overlooks the town, Ingólfsfjall. However, it was not permanently settled, according to the Book of Settlements, until just after 1000 AD.
Being inland, Selfoss was an agricultural centre, at a time when most economic centres were the fishing towns (the coastline is 15 kilometres, or nine miles, away). More commerce came to the region in 1891, when a suspension bridge was built over the river Olfusa, connecting the agricultural south to the capital. This bridge was so important to the country's infrastructure and economy that is was guarded by British troops in World War Two, after the Allies invaded Iceland following the fall of its colonial ruler, Denmark, to the Nazis.
The town was small at the beginning of the 20th Century with just around 40 inhabitants. Its exponential growth over the next decades came from the rise in trade due to the bridge, and the establishment of a large dairy farm and local store which needed employees. More recently, it has become seen as a desirable place to move for those who want to escape the stresses of city living or raise a family closer to the nature. It also has a large college.
In 2008, an earthquake struck the town, damaging roads and buildings, killing a number of sheep, and injuring 30 people. The same geological forces that threaten the town, however, also provide opportunity for it, as the activity in the area means that the greenhouse industry has flourished.
Culture at Selfoss
Selfoss is a cultural hub in the southwest. Every year it has the Sumar á Selfossi festival, which translates to Summer in Selfoss, which includes a fete, musical performers, and an evening bonfire. The town also has the Bobby Fischer Centre, a museum on the life of chess champion; his grave is located nearby.
Sports are very popular in the town, most notably football, basketball and handball, largely due to the student population.
In 2018, the town announced that it was creating a new town centre, in which it would have reconstructions from historical buildings all around the country. This, no doubt, will only increase tourism and culture in the area.
