How did you and Suitsupply meet?
What's it like to start a business in Lithuania?
My assumption is that although Lithuania is the geographical centre of Europe its citizens don't feel that way. What do you think?
Aren't these different things, economics and culture?
'Yes, but they have a lot in common. First of all cultural cooperation ensures a longer relationship. Businessmen need to understand not only the needs of the other party, but also where those needs are coming from. On the other hand there has to be bread and butter on a table to enable a cultural chat. With an empty stomach a discussion won't last long!

Q: Periodically run an event on Server side itself I want to run an event periodically on the server side that is to be initiated by the server in ASP.NET scenario. There will be no request from client.
Your help will be much appreciated.

A: Assuming you have access to the server and can install external applications, you could create a stand-alone Windows Service or even a console application that is triggered by the built in Windows Task Scheduler.
For something that runs in Asp.Net you could use Quartz.net. This SO question explains how to use it with Asp.Net

A: You need to spawn a process using the Process class. The process will sleep until the recurrence time comes.
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "foo";
p.Start();

Another alternative is to spool a thread using the Thread class.

A: For a similar situation in some of the applications, I use a separate service (windows service/web service) and use System.Threading.Timer (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.timer.aspx) and implement a scheduler of my own. Or otherwise, you can use any server based standard scheduler to invoke some executable that in turn hits your service.

A: I would just create a standard command line executable and have it run with the Windows Scheduling Tool.
A windows service is fine if it runs in very short intervals, but for example for once a day task, I think its the wrong approach.

A: Have a look at the Windows Workflow Foundation
That framework is built for this kind of things, like state persistance etc. It also runs separate, so the process will not go down when your app(pool) goes down (by default due to IIS).
Integrates fully with asp.net and you'll probably end up (in a positive way) with a Delay Activity.

I've spent the weekend trying to work out how to create the pages you see on a Pivot Page dynamically through code. It took a lot of web searching and trial and errors but I seem to have managed to get the basics of this worked out. I'm posting this to help other people who are trying to do the same thing. In this case it works, but if anyone else has a better/more efficient way of doing this I would be interested in looking at it.
The database/Web server has a directory full of images which the web service will pass back to the client using XML. Each image can belong to a image type. Each of these types will be a Pivot Item in the Pivot page. The list of images for each of these types will be displayed on each of these Pivot items.
Once the request has been completed, all the image types will be sent back to the client in XML format.
' Routine to handle the Get Image Types completed event.
' did the server side report an error?
' to aid in debugging.
' display this error to try and help debug the problem.
For each image type pivot item created it will also request all the images for that image type which the following code will handle.
' a routine to handle the Get Images completed event.
' Did the web server get an error while processing the request.
' the type that we requested the images for.
' contain an image eventually and we can leave it set to auto.
' definitions in the grid object.
' will be used to hold the count.
' This is the equivilent to the following XAML.
' add the textblock to the children objects of the grid.
' image file on the server.
' set the row and column information of the text block.
' add the text block to the child objects of the grid.
' add the list box to the pivot item.
Again I have commented the code to lead you through how the listbox and listbox items are created from the XML results and used to populate the pivot item for each image type.

"I struggled for 15 years in this business before Miami Vice came along."
– Don Johnson
"This is what I do for a living. It's not who I am as a human being."
"Being with all those great bowlers was the greatest three days I ever had."
"If I die tomorrow, I've accomplished everything I wanted to do in life."
"I'm the perfect example of what people can accomplish when they have regained a sane body and spirit."
"It's my job to really commit myself to the material and the project and be proud of what I've done, and I am in most cases."
"Hollywood is very much an industry town. Your life becomes caught up in all of the parties and this list and that list. That's not something that I respond well to."
"Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous."
"If the material is inspiring and motivates you, then it doesn't really matter what it is."
"It's a joy to be recognized and to have people that are interested in what you do. That can pick up your whole day."
"Even though some of the films I've made haven't been particularly commercial, I don't find them failures."
Habit #1: Be Patient And You'll Eventually Make It
According to Don Johnson, the journey to success is a long one and full of challenges. Therefore, you have to be patient if you wanna be successful in life. The actor is on record for saying, "I struggled for 15 years in this business before Miami Vice came along." However, Don eventually made it because of his patience.
The reason why some people fail in their careers is that they take time to work on their goals. Such people want to become wealthy and famous overnight. However, that shouldn't be the case because quick fame and riches don't last long. Just be patient, continue doing your thing and you'll eventually realize your goals.

Habit #2: It Takes Hard Work To Sustain Fame
It's hard to become famous but it's even harder to sustain fame. Don once said, "Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous." To him, it's harder to maintain the status of a celebrity than to become one. That's why Johnson works hard now than he did in the early days of his career.
You have to work hard to become wealthy and famous. However, you need to work even harder to maintain your new status in society. The reason why some people aren't famous for long is that they get overwhelmed and forget to continue working. Keep pushing and you'll remain ahead of the game all your life.

Habit #3: Never Give Up Before Realizing Your Goals
Successful people don't give up on their goals irrespective of the challenges that they encounter along the way. According to Don, he has realized most of his dreams as a fighter and as a person. He once said, "If I die tomorrow, I've accomplished everything I wanted to do in life." Johnson advises other young people to continue working on their dreams and never give up along the way.
It isn't easy to become successful in life unless you're very lucky or you come from an influential family. However, you shouldn't give up on your dreams even if you come from a humble background. Keep pushing and you'll eventually realize your dreams as long as you continue doing the right thing.

Most of our house is cold. We have a forced air electric furnace in the basement which does heat up the main areas of the house but not the other areas such as bedrooms and the top floor (3 floor house including basement).
When we leave the furnace running, the top floor never gets warm, never gets as high as 17 when the main would get as warm as you wanted it.
We finally installed a gas fireplace in the living room on the main which heats it up like crazy but how to best move this warm air around the house so it isn't stifling hot (25 degrees C) in the living room and 16 elsewhere around the house?
We have a ceiling fan in the living room pushing air up and out of the living room and we have a ceiling fan in the adjacent dining room doing the same.
Today we tried putting on the furnace fan, just the fan, to circulate the air to make it more even.
I put a fan in front of the fireplace to point the heat out of the room but still, not making a difference. The air right outside of the living room in the hallway is cold (16). Is a Dyson heater fan the better option?
The rest of the house is still cold, the temp is not even. What is the best way to even out the heat in the whole house?
Thank you! If this is not the right place, please let me know.


After our visit to Iceland we went to Nuuk, Greenland for 2 nights. We walked around the town and took a whale watching tour up the fjord. It was a beautiful sunny day on the boat and while we didn't see any whales the views were stunning.
The town of Nuuk didn't have a lot to offer visitors and having only 1 full day there wasn't much time to do anything besides the boat tour.

Video shows moment Virginia man is struck by lightning
A Nottoway County man is still recovering after a lightning strike landed him in the hospital.
NOTTOWAY COUNTY, Va. -- A Virginia man is still recovering after a lightning strike landed him in the hospital.
52-year-old Bobby Pridemore was moving cows in a pasture about 100 yards behind his home along Bible Road in Crewe, Virginia, Friday evening when lightning struck a metal gate and sent a charge down the barbed wire fence where he was standing.
Pridemore's right hand and hip were touching the fence about 200 yards from where the bolt hit the gate, and he suffered an electrical shock.
"He kept saying all he could think was he messed up this time," Donna Pridemore, Bobby's wife, explained. "He truly thought his arm was gone."
The strike sent him flying back off the fence. Donna and the couple's daughter, Kaitlyn, were inside the home at the time.
"We heard the loud boom, and it was enough to rattle the house pretty much," she noted. "I was like, 'Kaitlyn, where's your dad?' And Kaitlyn was like, 'I don't know, Mom.'"
Kaitlyn called her father, and luckily, he was able to swipe the phone with his left hand to answer and tell them to call 911.
Bobby also found the strength to pull himself back on his four-wheeler and sped to his home, where he was met by Nottoway Emergency Squad crews. They examined him and transported him to Chippenham Medical Center, where doctors said he suffered a small third-degree burn on his left hip.
"They wanted to keep him overnight," noted Donna. "They checked his heart out, and his heart looked good. They gave us instructions on how to care for the wound on his hip."
Donna said something she won't forget is the distinct smell coming from her husband after the incident.
"The smell of burnt skin," said Donna. "I don't know how to describe it because that's what it was. It was just a really bad smell, and he stayed that way. We could still smell it on him from when he got home from the hospital the next day."
Bobby is still recovering from the emotional toll the incident took on him, but he was back at work Monday morning.
The Pridemores are extra thankful for the support of their small community.
"Half the neighborhood was there checking on him within minutes of the squad being there," Pridemore explained. "We had a neighbor that came and brought him a couple of lottery tickets Saturday night, and just sitting there Sunday morning I had gotten up and they were still sleeping, and I looked online to see if we happened to win. And they weren't winners, but literally, the first thing that comes to my mind was we are winners."
This isn't the first scary incident to happen to the Pridemores. Bobby is also a thyroid cancer survivor, and their daughter Kaitlyn suffered a severed aorta during a routine gallbladder surgery back in 2020 and is still in physical therapy.
"Things like this, normally as scary and as hard as they can be, truly, truly bring out the real blessings that you have in life," she noted. "Because we still have him and we still have her, so even if things have changed, I still have to say that our blessings are just so much bigger than the bad things."
According to the CDC, the odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are less than one in a million, and almost 90% of all lightning strike victims survive. Virginia has had fewer than five lightning deaths since 2006.
Around 300 people are struck by lightning per year, and about 50 people die from the strike, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The National Weather Service said the safest place you can be during a storm is inside, but if you are outdoors, here are some last resort tips to stay safe:
Immediately get off elevated areas such as hills, mountain ridges or peaks
Never lie flat on the ground
Never shelter under an isolated tree
Never use a cliff or rocky overhang for shelter
Immediately get out and away from ponds, lakes and other bodies of water
Stay away from objects that conduct electricity (barbed wire fences, power lines, windmills, etc.)

Emergency meeting called over prison violence
Ioanna Mandrou
In the wake of last week's murder of an inmate at the Greek capital's main Korydallos Prison and a recent spike in violence at correction facilities around the country, the Justice Ministry has called a emergency meeting with prison directors on Tuesday to discuss the deteriorating situation.
Conditions at Korydallos in particular have raised alarm bells, after week's killing of an Albanian national highlighted that gangs within the prison are laying down the law and that the security of inmates has been be compromised to a worrying degree.
Last Monday's murder was so savage that prison guards who witnessed the incident were left so shaken they were reportedly prescribed sedatives. Prison staff have also described a "terrifying situation."
The murder confirmed the fears of prison authorities who have repeatedly warned that a shortage of resources to curtail violent gangs from operating in Korydallos Prison would lead to deaths.
Spyros Karakitsos, head of the Greek Federation of Prison Employees, has described the situation at Korydallos Prison as hopeless, while the general secretary of the Justice Ministry, Eftychis Fytrakis, called the facility a "mother of violence."
Another growing problem, indicative of the prison's degradation, is a recent rash of rackets extorting money from the families of inmates for their protection. A case in point was the placing of a bomb at the house of the sister of Ioannis Sbokos – a former general secretary for defense procurements, who is serving time for bribe-taking and money laundering.
Inmate killed in Korydallos, investigation ordered
Novartis suspect also investigated for possible money laundering
Suspect in Piraeus killing granted more time to prepare defense
Police raid house of suspect in Novartis case
Search continues for escaped inmates

Seven Things Conservatives Should Be Thankful For
Source: Photo courtesy of Kurt Schlichter
If you listen to the nattering nabobs of social media negativity, and you shouldn't, you might get the false impression that our dreams of a conservative future are imploding. You would be wrong. There is a lot for conservatives to be thankful for, and we're winning. To paraphrase noted tax reform advocate Wesley Snipes in Passenger 57, always bet on red.
No. 1: Be Thankful That Hillary Is Not Our President.
Every day, it is a joy to awaken, unlike Hillary Clinton, without a hangover. Oh yes, and also to awaken knowing that Felonia von Pantsuit is not, and will never be, our president.
Can you imagine if she were? She is as vindictive as she is stupid, which means instead of ripping apart the regulatory state, she and her nanny-gestapo army of obedient aspiring liberal fascists would be sliding their slimy tentacles into every aspect of our lives. Do you think the GOPe would even resist? The weenies in Congress would jump at the chance for WaPo glory by embracing "bipartisanship," which means giving that corrupt harpy everything she wants in the name of "cooperation" and "reaching across the aisle." Amnesty, tax hikes, gun grabs, speech bans – it would all be on the table. Freedom, not so much.
But because of Donald Trump, with the support of normal Americans, winning the election against all odds, none of that is happening. Savor our victory. And give thanks for Hillary's pain.
No. 2: Be Thankful That We Now Know The Truth About So Many "Conservatives."
Besides defeating the chardonnay-swilling Mayonnaise Chavez, Donald Trump's other great achievement has been to cause so many prominent Fredocons to show who they really are – and it isn't "conservative." It's remarkable how many peeps we thought were solid revealed themselves to be narcissistic hacks focused only on preserving their pathetic sinecures within Conservative, Inc. Exhibit A is Cruise Director Bill Kristol, who turned out to be much more worried about empty cabins on the sinking S.S. Weekly Standard's lido deck than actually making conservative change. He flat-out defected to the enemy and was last seen pushing for a Deep State coup. After all, the establishment is gonna establishment.
But stay with me. Not all Never Trumpers are phonies; some actually believe in conservatism and are simply strategically confused. We are in the fighting phase now, and not everyone has the stomach to make the choices you need to make when you are grappling to the death in the Octagon. In the midst of our fighting, we have to sometimes prioritize, and yes – some traditional conservative values and ideals do need to get put on pause. As adults, and as people who have been in fistfights, we get that mindless purity leads to pure defeat.
The Captain Stubing of Conservatism exemplifies the loser class of GOP frauds who actually preferred Hillary because Trump's supporters are so…well, you know, not Harvard material. Oh, and also because a Hillary regime would have been a great opportunity to pretend to lead the conserva-resistance and cash-in with profitable events like chin-stroking panels starring conservative firebrand activists such as Jeff Flake, Ben Sasse, and Chet the Unicorn. Let's give thanks that the marks caught onto the grift.
No. 3: Be Thankful For Neil Gorsuch.
We are going to take back the judiciary. That's huge and it's already happening. When the Never Trumpers try to mock our delight in having President Trump at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue by saying "But Gorsuch!", our reply must be, "Damn right, but Gorsuch!"
Consider the alternative. Do you have any doubt, any at all, that a Clinton court would discover that the Constitution's penumbras and emanations mean that our right of free speech, our right to practice our religion, and our right to keep and bear arms, don't actually exist? Any doubt at all? Well, be thankful that we've put that particular nightmare on hold, at least for a while.
No. 4: Be Thankful That Conservatives Have A Voice.
Between social media and conservative media that has not gone full liberal – never go full liberal – we have ways to organize and communicate. That was not always so, and they are under attack now, but we at least have them. Fox is strong, and OANN, NewsMax and Rebel Media, to name a few, are out there. Townhall.com delivers two dozen disparate conservative voices every day. Others update you on chem trails and lizard alien overlords, but you know, at least you have options.
The media allows us to bypass enemy gatekeepers; we don't have to ask anyone's permission to publish awesome conservative pop culture that infuriates the stinking liberals. Sure, social media outlets like Twitter are getting increasingly hostile to dissenters from the leftist paradigm, but we do have a Republican Congress and many Republican state legislatures that have the ability to regulate them into submission if the California tech tycoons think they can shut us up. If they imagine we'll just sit back and let them use their political power against us without using ours back, they are nuts. So, be thankful that we can still be heard – and that we have the power to deal with those who would try to silence us.
No. 5: Be Thankful We Have Fewer Perverts Than The Liberals.
Yeah, we have problems. Roy Moore selfishly remains in what was once a sure-thing race. But when he (probably) wins, it'll be because the Gropeocrats tossed him a life preserver in the shape of a coke-addled hack from Minnesota. Those "Senator Jailbait is the face of the GOP!" ads are gonna fall a little flat in 2018 when we haven't seen resignations from Senator Stuart Smarmy and Senator Hung Jury.
Just be thankful we don't have the problems liberals have. We conservatives always knew that liberalism was a giant scam designed to allow elitists to take power and exercise it without accountability; the left has now decided to make sure everyone knows it. From Kennedy to Clinton to Franken, from Fatty Arbuckle to Fatty Weinstein, liberal bona fides earned them a lifetime of free gropes…until now. Now liberalism is being exposed as the giant lie it always was.
Yeah, statistically some Republicans are going to be creeps, but that doesn't define them the way it does liberal icons. What matters is that now everyone sees the truth that liberalism is a lie, and we should be thankful for that.
No. 6: Be Thankful For Dogs.
Because dogs, which are the most conservative of pets, are cool. Especially Bitey.
No. 7: Be Thankful That We Have All The Guns.
Yes, we normals feel a certain tranquility knowing that, no matter what happens, at the end of the day, the liberal fascists can't actually make us do anything we don't want to do. As Mao noted, "Power grows from the barrel of a gun." Mao got that right, if nothing else – the fact that the people of the United States retain the right to defend themselves from the kind of leftist oppression we've seen in Venezuela and other hellholes liberals swoon over during their short Potemkin village visits means that the only way they get their way is if they convince us to go along with it. They can't make us do anything, and it gnaws at them.
Nope, Kaden and Ashleigh the baristas are unlikely to gear up and start the hard work of taming us uppity normals. Their only weapon system is whining, and until we see a 62 grain tweet with a lead core and steel penetrator that flies over 900 feet per second, they aren't imposing anything on us without our consent. Freedom is measured in calibers, and We the People retain our citizens' veto over their serfdom-focused schemes no matter how much the gang from Team Progressive stamps its collective Birkenstocks.
So be thankful for what we have, and never surrender. We'll win.

United's Evans released on bail
Manchester United defender released on bail after being questioned by police.
Ditheko Mototo of Kaizer Chiefs evades Jonathan
Evans during United's pre-season tour of South Africa
[GALLO/GETTY]
Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has been released on police bail after being arrested in connection with an alleged rape of a woman at the club's Christmas party.
The 19-year-old Northern Ireland international, who turned himself into police on Tuesday night, was ordered to present himself to police on Feburary 23.
A 26-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted early Tuesday at the Great John Street Hotel in downtown Manchester.
United players booked the entire hotel for a party on Monday night.
Manchester United has declined to comment. Evans was among the United players photographed leaving the club's Christmas lunch Monday.
Evans is not a regular in Alex Ferguson's first team, but was handed a Champions League start last week at AS Roma with progression to the next round already secured.

Q: HOw can I use onchange in jquery The onchange function is not getting called for below code:
<input  id="department" name="department" />

<script type="text/javascript">
$jq("#department").on('change',function(){
        console.log('Inside department onchange');
        validateDepartment();
    });
</script>

A: There is one mistake in your jQuery code. You need to use 'jQuery' instead of '$jq', otherwise it will show an error in the console like "Uncaught ReferenceError: $jq is not defined".
jQuery("#department").on('change',function(){
    console.log('Inside department onchange');
    validateDepartment();
});

A: I am not sure why you have $jq as that is not proper syntax.

Basic syntax is: $(selector).action()

A $ sign to define/access jQuery
A (selector) to "query (or find)" HTML elements
A jQuery action() to be performed on the element(s)
Here is a working example:

<!DOCTYPE html>

    function validateDepartment(){
    var inputdept = $( "#department" ).val();
        alert(inputdept + " Department is valid!")
    }
  </script>
</html>

A: there is a syntax error replace $jq with $  like this
$("#department").on('change',function(){
    console.log('Inside department onchange');
    validateDepartment();
});

You can do like this
$(document).on('change','#department',function(e){
   // code
});

OR
$('#department').change(function(e){
       // code
});

Also you can attach onchange attribute with input field in order to handle change event like this
<input  id="department" name="department" onchange="myFunc(this)"/>

Hopefully this will help you

IN-PERSON INTERVIEW WAIVERS: TEMP. MEASURE
Submitted by Jaya Kiran on Tue, 12/28/2021 - 21:37
US to allow waiving of in-person interviews for H-1B, other visas through 2022 Consular officers will now be temporarily authorised to waive in-person interviews for nearly a dozen visa categories
The United States will allow its consular officers to waive in-person interviews for H-1B and other certain non-immigrant visa applicants through next year to help reduce visa wait times, the State Department has announced.
These temporary steps are taken to safely and efficiently reduce visa wait times while maintaining national security as priority."
The consular officers will now be temporarily authorized to waive in-person interviews for nearly a dozen visa categories, including Persons in Specialty Occupations (H-1B visas), visas for students, temporary agricultural and non-agricultural workers, student exchange visitors, as well as athletes, artists and entertainers.
The full list of visa categories in which the appointment now could be waived can is listed below:
The Secretary of State, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, has authorized consular officers through the end of 2022 to waive the in-person interview requirement for certain temporary employment nonimmigrant visa applicants who have a petition approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
This new authorization applies to temporary workers applying for H-1, H-3, H-4, L, O, P, and Q visas who meet certain conditions, including that they are applying for a visa in their country of nationality or residence.
Under this authority, consular officers have discretion to waive the visa interview requirement for individual petition-based H-1, H-3, H-4, L, O, P, and Q applicants who were previously issued any type of visa, and who have never been refused a visa unless such refusal was overcome or waived, and who have no apparent ineligibility or potential ineligibility; or first-time individual petition-based H-1, H-3, H-4, L, O, P, and Q who are citizens or nationals of a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), provided they have no apparent ineligibility or potential ineligibility and have previously traveled to the United States using an authorization obtained via the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) .
In addition, the Secretary extended previously approved policies to waive the visa interview for certain students, professors, research scholars, short-term scholars, or specialists (F, M, and academic J visa applicants) through the end of 2022.
Applicants must apply for a visa in their country of nationality or residence. Like the policy for certain individual petition-based visa applicants, consular officers have discretion to waive the interview for F, M, and academic J visa applicants who were previously issued any type of visa, and who have never been refused a visa unless such refusal was overcome or waived, and who have no apparent ineligibility or potential ineligibility; or first-time F, M, and academic J visa applicants who are citizens or nationals of a country that participates in VWP and who have previously traveled to the United States via an ESTA authorization, provided they have no apparent ineligibility or potential ineligibility.
Applicants renewing any visa within 48 months of expiration are also eligible for interview waiver.
Consular resources and local government restrictions vary widely, and each consular section is continuously reviewing its capacity to adjudicate visa applications during this worldwide pandemic and as we address global issues and competing priorities.
We encourage applicants to check the website of the relevant U.S. embassy or consulate to confirm the level of services currently offered and to find guidelines for applying for a visa without an interview.

Rhyme, rhythm and riffin': Jazz meets poetry in drummer Matt Wilson's Carl Sandburg Project
Originally published on MinnPost.com on Tuesday, December 4, 2007
Poetry and jazz are natural partners. Poets write poems about jazz, poems shaped by the sound and feel of jazz, and poems meant to be read aloud to jazz accompaniment. Lawrence Ferlinghetti collaborated with tenor saxophonist Stan Getz.
Jazz artists write music for poetry.
Pianist and composer Fred Hersch set parts of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass to elegant, beautiful music, and trombonist Craig Harris has written a musical interpretation of James Weldon Johnson's poetry collection titled God's Trombones.
Poetry and jazz met in the proto-rap recordings of Gil Scott-Heron ("The revolution will not be televised"), and they meet every Monday at the Artists' Quarter in St. Paul for Open Poetry night. Some jazz singers (Jon Hendricks, Kurt Elling) write poetic lyrics to instrumental jazz tunes.
Personal ties to poet
As a child, jazz drummer Matt Wilson discovered he had personal ties to Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Carl Sandburg. Both have roots in west-central Illinois. Wilson's great aunt was married to Sandburg's first cousin, Charlie Krans; Sandburg stopped by the Krans farm in Galesburg, his own hometown, in 1953 and documented his visit for Life magazine ("I Went Back to Galesburg," Feb. 23, 1953).
Studying to be a musician, Wilson discovered a poem by Sandburg called "Jazz Fantasia" that reads in part:
Go to it, O jazzmen...bang altogether drums, traps, banjoes, horns, tin cans—make two people fight on top of a stairway and scratch each other's eyes in a clinch tumbling down the stairs.
Those words could get a young jazz artist's blood going. To Wilson, the poem "solidified my notions that Carl was indeed a serious hipster. I mean, he had the best hair. I feel he has not been given the recognition he so deserves. Whitman was cool, but Carl rocked! Plus he dug jazz."
Liberated from limitations
Something else jazz artists appreciate is freedom. Wilson liked that Sandburg's style was "free of rhyme, free of meter, and free from the governing rules of verse." It is also free of pompous or arcane verbiage. Sandburg used the ordinary language he heard every day, what he termed the "American lingo."
He often mixed poetry and music in his public performances, and so does Wilson. The Carl Sandburg Project, which comes to the Minnesota Opera Center on Friday, Dec. 7, is both homage and opportunity for Wilson to stretch his own considerable limits of performance, composition and improvisation.
Commissioned by Chamber Music America, presented here by Jazz is NOW! with the Minnesota Opera, the project has toured on and off since 2002. You can listen to some of the Sandburg project here. Writing for NYRock.com, Bill Ribas described it as "eccentric, full of laughs and good-spirited fun."
I asked Wilson what that meant, since most people don't equate jazz with laughs or poetry with fun, or the other way around.
"It will make you laugh as well as cry," he explained. "It rocks, it soothes. It is a multisensory production. Music should be fun, right? We'll have fun and you'll have fun."
Embracing the poetry
The project features Jeff Lederer on saxophone, Ben Allison on bass, Dawn Thomson on voice and guitar, and Wilson on drums. "We move through a wide range of sonic landscapes and embrace the poetry through song, readings and as inspiration for the pieces," Wilson said. "I have some new pieces that I am anxious to debut, including a groovy song set to 'We Must Be Polite,' a poem instructing children on how to behave when they meet a gorilla or if an elephant knocks on their door."
Will we hear Carl Sandburg read his poetry? "I do a piece with Mr. Sandburg reading 'Fog,' " he replied. That's the Sandburg poem most of us learned in grade school because it's short. Will the music be dense and humid, or lithe and catlike? With Wilson, you never know until it happens. Even he isn't sure. "It is improvised music, so it is always changing. We never play it the same way once."
Wilson was smitten by the drums in third grade, when he saw Buddy Rich on an episode of Here's Lucy. Today Wilson is "easily one of the best drummers of his generation," according to a New York Times review. The DownBeat critics' poll named him Rising Star Drummer four years in a row. He's been called smart, wacky and weird. He wears goofy hats and wigs.
A Matt Wilson performance is always entertaining and musically enlightening. His most recent Twin Cities gig was a two-night stay at the Dakota in January of this year, where he had us singing along to "Feel the Sway." It's a catchy tune from Scenic Route, his latest CD with his Arts and Crafts group and his seventh as a leader; he has recorded dozens more as a sideman. There are plans to record the Project's performance in Minneapolis and perhaps release it later.
Because this is a joint presentation with the Minnesota Opera, the Project will have an opening act: singer Christopher Job, a bass in residence during the Opera's 2007-08 season with upcoming roles in Romeo and Juliet and The Fortunes of King Croesus. When Job sang in L'Orfeo ed Euridice with the Glimmerglass Opera of New York, he was praised for his "nifty comic work." Sounds like he'll fit right in. Another bonus from the Opera: Come to the Sandburg Project, get a special ticket offer to Romeo and Juliet starring the fantastically handsome James Valenti.
The nonprofit Jazz is NOW! originated at the former for-profit jazz club Brilliant Corners in downtown St. Paul. When the club folded, saxophonist and owner Jeremy Walker turned to composing and leading the Jazz is NOW! NOWnet, a composers' ensemble of artists from the Twin Cities and New York featuring original compositions.
The Carl Sandburg Project kicks off a new performance series that will pick up steam in 2008 with a performance of the NOWnet on March 13. I'm marking my calendar now. Meanwhile, Walker has put down his horn and pulled up a piano bench, and he's practicing five hours a day. At the moment, he's immersed in Bach.
Curious about jazz poetry? Look in your local library (if it's still open) for The Jazz Poetry Anthology, edited by Sascha Feinstein & Yusef Komunyakaa. Feinstein is also the founding editor of a jazz and literature journal called Brilliant Corners.

SDG INDIA INDEX 2018
The SDG India Index was developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI), Global Green Growth Institute and United Nations in India.
The index comprises a composite score for each State and Union Territory based on their aggregate performance across 13 of the 17 SDGs. The score, ranging between 0 and 100, denotes the average performance of the State/UT towards achieving the 13 SDGs and their respective targets.
The aim of the index is to instil competition among States to improve their performance across social indices as the States' progress will determine India's progress towards achieving the set goals by 2030. Using the index, States will be monitored on a real-time basis.
The SDG India Index is intended to provide a holistic view on the social, economic and environmental status of the country and its States and UTs. It has been designed to provide an aggregate assessment of the performance of all Indian States and UTs, and to help leaders and change makers evaluate their performance on social, economic and environmental parameters.
The Index has been constructed spanning across 13 out of 17 SDGs (leaving out Goals 12, 13, 14 and 17). It tracks the progress of all the States and Union Territories (UTs) on a set of 62 National Indicators, measuring their progress on the outcomes of interventions and schemes of the Government of India.
The Index can be useful to States/UTs in assessing their starting point on the SDGs in the following ways:
Support States/UTs to benchmark their progress against national targets and performance of their peers to understand reasons for differential performance and devise better strategies to achieve the SDGs by 2030.
Support States/UTs to identify priority areas in which they need to invest and improve by enabling them to measure incremental progress.
Highlight data gaps related across SDGs for India to develop its statistical systems at the national and State levels.
The SDG India Index acts as a bridge between these mandates, aligning the SDGs with the Prime Minister's clarion call of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas', which embodies the five Ps of the global SDG movement – People, Planet, Prosperity, Partnership and Peace.
Highlights of the report and performance of various states:
According to the SDG India Index, the nation as a whole has a score of 58, showing the country has reached a little beyond the halfway mark in meeting the sustainable development goals adopted by India and 192 other nations in 2015.Top 3 states in terms of being on track to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDG): Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.
Among the UTs, Chandigarh is the front runner with a score of 68.
Tamil Nadu has a score 66, and is the top scorer on the goals to do with eradicating poverty and also providing clean and affordable energy.
Kerala's top rank is attributed to its superior performance in providing good health, reducing hunger, achieving gender equality and providing quality education. Himachal Pradesh ranks high on providing clean water and sanitation, in reducing inequalities and preserving the mountain ecosystem.
Among the UTs, Chandigarh takes the lead because of its exemplary performance in providing clean water and sanitation to its people. It has further made good progress towards providing affordable and clean energy, generating decent work and economic growth, and providing quality education.
The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international organization headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. The organization aims to promote green growth, a growth paradigm that is characterized by a balance of economic growth and environmental sustainability. GGGI provides research and stakeholder engagement for green growth plans, especially in developing countries, aiming to replace the more typical paradigm based on industrial development.
Founded to support green economic growth that simultaneously addresses poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability, GGGI works across four priority areas that are considered to be essential to transforming national economies, including energy, water, land use, and green cities.
India is not a member state of the GGGI but a partner state. For Member States Click Here.

From Varun Dhawan-Natasha Dalal To Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt: Bollywood Celebrities Who Might Get Married In 2020
The year 2018 saw some high profile weddings like that of Sonam Kapoor-Anand Ahuja, Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh, Neha Dhupia-Angad Bedi, and Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas. And it looks like love is in the air in 2019 too with many new love stories blooming. Some of the power couples have also gone public with their relationships on social media while some others are yet to come out in open. With so many couples, it is hard to say who will take the next step in their relationship. Here we give you a preview of what the wedding chart of 2020 will look like.
Varun Dhawan and Natasha Dalal
Varun Dhawan and his childhood sweetheart Natasha Dalal's love affair has been in the news on several occasions in the past. Although the actor has been extremely private about his relationship, he never shied away from making public appearances with her. Varun finally put all the speculations surrounding his love affair to rest on Karan Johar's chat show where he accepted that he is in a relationship with Natasha.
The actor also confessed about the same in a Filmfare interview, where he said, "It's not going to happen this year. I'm not saying I won't get married but it's not this soon. If I'm doing all these movies, I need to find the right time for that." Well, needless to say, fans are waiting with bated breath for their long impending wedding announcement.
Many reports have speculated that the actor will finally take the plunge with his lady love in December 2019. However, we at ETimes had exclusively reported that given Varun's packed schedule, the couple is reportedly planning to shift their big day to 2020.
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt made headlines right from the start of 2018. The couple apparently fell in love with each other on the sets of 'Brahmastra'. But they refrained from making it official till mid-2018 when they finally confessed their love for each other. And ever since, their relationship has just grown stronger with each passing day.
There have been various reports circulating on the internet which suggest that the two are soon going to take the nuptial vows. Alia had earlier told Hindustan Times, "Right now, I am not thinking about getting married. But honestly, I am not someone who thinks about these things. I just go ahead and do them. It could be a very random thing since I consider myself a random person. So, I may make these decisions also at random. I am not someone who plans out my life thinking, 'Well, that's how it should be done.' I feel the best things in life should happen when they are least expected."
Even Ranbir, during one of the interviews during 'Sanju', reportedly said that marriage is definitely on the cards. With all the reports doing the rounds, fans cannot help but wait with bated breath for the formal announcement.
Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora
It is only recently that Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora made their relationship official. Although their social media PDA and outings spoke volume about their love affair; they chose to keep mum over the same for a long time.
Ever since the couple made it official on Arjun's birthday this year when they jetted off to the US to spend some quality time together, they have been painting the town red. Both of them, on various occasions, have opened up about all the speculations surrounding their marriage.
Arjun had earlier told Deccan Chronicle, "Marriage is definitely not going to happen now. I'm happy on both, the personal and professional fronts. I have always been open. Be assured that I will not shock you all; if there is something to be spoken about, I will inform you all and make you a part of it."
However, with all the news about them moving together in their new house, we hope they are all set for the saath pheras.
Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar
Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar both made headlines after they shared a picture of them holding hands in NYC. The picture followed a lot more pictures. Although their social media PDA spoke volumes about their love affair, they did not officially confirm it.
The cute couple also made their first public appearance at Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's wedding reception and since then there has been no looking back. Fans witnessed their love blossom with one picture at a time on social media.
While reports were stating that they might get hitched earlier this year, Farhan rubbished all such reports. Shibani even mocked the whole news report by asking Farhan on a talk show when they are getting married. Answering Shibani's question, he said, "She's just having fun with all the rumours going around." Answering her question, he said, "I don't know it maybe April or April may be May."
The couple has been dating for over a year now and it would certainly not be wrong for his fans to expect that they might finally get hitched next year!
Rohman Shawl and Sushmita Sen
Rohman Shawl and Sushmita Sen are undoubtedly one of the cutest couples we have in Bollywood. The couple, who fell in love with each other at a fashion show, made their relationship official in no time. Right from working out together to attending parties to spending quality time with family, they have left no stone unturned in showing off their admiration for each other.
Sushmita's two adopted daughters Renee and Alisah are also quite fond of Rohman and have approved their mother's choice. Reports are now rife that the two are ready to take their relationship to the next level and might get hitched by the end of this year.
Rohan Shrestha and Shraddha Kapoor
Shraddha Kapoor has always maintained privacy when it came to her personal life. She has, time and again, rubbished all her link-up reports with Farhan Akhtar and Aditya Roy Kapur in the past. However, whenever she has been asked about her rumoured love affair with her close photographer friend Rohan Shrestha, the answer has always been diplomatic!
The couple has reportedly been dating for a while now and although they are yet to come out in open about it, their outings and pictures are proof enough. According to reports, things are getting serious between the two, and they are planning to tie the knot next year. Shraddha's mother Shivangi Kapoor is already setting the wedding plans in motion.
Earlier, Shraddha in a throwback interview with iDiva had said, "Marriage is very beautiful and if you have to get married, you need to be crazily in love with that person. It is a lifelong commitment, so you must be able see your whole life with that person. It's a huge decision."
However, father Shakti Kapoor had scrapped all such wedding reports of her daughter stating that she is focussed on her upcoming films and that her schedule is chock-a-block for the next two years.
Well, with her kitty full of projects, a wedding does seem like it will be quite a task. But it would be a treat for all her fans!

Chetan Bhagat Gets Pirated Version of His Own Book Sold To Him By a Hawker at Traffic Signal
"This guy sold me my own book! His reaction when he found out was so sweet," Bhagat captioned the video.
Things have a way of finding their way back to people.'
Popular Indian author Chetan Bhagat learnt this recently, when a street hawker tried to sell him a pirated version of his own novel at a traffic signal.
The author who is known for his books like 5 Point Someone, The Three Mistakes of My Life, One Night at the Call Center, Two States and Half-Girlfriend, which have been made into successful Bollywood movies as well.
It was one of these popular books, that Chetan Bhagat was surprised to see being sold at a traffic signal by a hawker.
In a video posted on this Twitter, Bhagat shows how a young boy turns up at his car window and tries to sell him a book.
"Chetan Bhagat hai?" he can be seen asking the boy. (You have one by Chetan Bhagat?)
"Acchi hai koi?" he further asks when the boy replies with a 'Yes.' ('Is any of his books good?')
'Nayi wali ayi hai,' the boy can be seen replying. ('A new one has come.')
"Thik likhta hai?" Bhagat asks the boy. ('He writes fine?')
"Bohot acchi bikhti hai, sir" the boy replies. ('They sell very well, sir.')
After this exchange, Bhagat can be seen examining the book in his hand and asking if its 'real or fake.'
'Online ka copy hai, sir,' the boy is heard replying. ('It's a copy of an online version.') Since a direct copy of the e-book, published in print would mean its pirated, that's what Bhagat harps onto next - 'Online ka copy toh nakli hai' (The copy of online is fake.)
Then he can be seen revealing his own identity to the boy, who seems shocked, then pleasantly surprised. Bhagat shakes his hand and asks for the boys name and then thanking him.
"This guy sold me my own book !😂 His reaction when he found out was so sweet. ♥. I don't support piracy (hurts me directly) but I also know it helps people like him make a living. I'd rather they sold original books at signals instead. Many do now!" Bhagat captioned the video.

Output Management & Rules-Based Printing in SC & NC | TPM, Inc.
As part of our drive to do more and print less, using cutting-edge technology for scanning and distributing data, one of the services we offer is Rules-Based Printing.
What Does TPM's Rules-Based Printing Solution Offer?
Our Rules-Based Printing Solutions allow your business to reduce costs by configuring unique parameters when printing. These parameters can help to avoid unwanted or accidental color printing, and will remind users to select the two-sided printing option for large printing jobs.
Device Rationalization also helps users to print to the most cost-effective device possible by only releasing jobs at a particular printer. This reduces unnecessary prints that are never picked up. Furthermore, accounting features inform you of printing costs attributed to certain clients, projects, individual employees, or departments, allowing you to keep track of accounts and to track employees' printing expenditures. Read on to learn more about TPM's solutions.
Uniflow allows you to preview a print job before printing, change finishing options (such as adding hole punching and stapling) and secure sensitive documents. It also allows you to use a universal driver for printing to all printers and MFPs on your network.
Sepialine is a service that aims to cut down on waste, keep information private and secure, and fetch documents from anywhere. Unclaimed and uncollected print jobs often account for a lot of waste, so with Sepialine print jobs are held until someone claims and releases them at the Multi-Function Printer, meaning that each document is truly wanted. This solution also keeps documents private, ensuring that only the person with the passcode will be able to print them.
Other than reducing waste and cutting costs, users no longer have to waste time sharing a printer and waiting on large jobs to be finished. Documents can be printed on demand, without delay, by sending the print job to any available multifunctional device within your organization. Furthermore, you can increase security to only print documents when specific passwords are entered, which allows you prevent sensitive documents from being seen by other employees in the vicinity of the printer (i.e. HR documents, paychecks, etc.).
We focus on cultivating life-long partnerships with our customers based on our motto of "Do More, Print Less." By offering tailored solutions from our wide array of hardware and software products, we chart strategies for our customers with the goal of reducing costs, increasing productivity, and improving security in regard to printing and all aspects of Document Management. By providing best-in-class solutions to match your unique needs, we are driven to provide maximum satisfaction.
Rules-based Printing Solutions is the way to go when it comes to reducing waste and increasing productivity. Experience the TPM difference today. And if you use TPM for more than one service, we can consolidate all of your contracts so you'll only have to deal with one contract from one vendor, and will only have to write one check for one invoice. To learn more about our full suite of Document and Print Solutions, give us a call at (800) 922-1145 or contact us online at any time.

On the urgent need of compassion, of love, of the sweet sixteens in our society when i heard this song, by ABBA, of Dancing Queen, i knew it's music appreciation time again, of us swoon in and out of the things human animals do and sing 'bout.
ABBA - "Dancing Queen" Buy at amazon
Of which the song's lyrics, i present here:
Dancing Queen, by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson of ABBA, 1976.
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance…
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
Folks, hark and look, the Dancing Queen is just seventeen. Young and sweet, ABBA says of humanity, and ABBA tells us, "See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen".
O, we cannot but observe the language, that transmits to us the important aspects and nuances of our kind. It's a girl, not a boy, and she's dancing. And we are nudged to "watch the scene", and "dig in". And the girl is now described by the word "queen", and this queen is seeking a King, and anyone will do. What is a Queen? A queen is a FEMALE partner of a King. And what's a King? A king is a the opposite sex of queen, and who's the biggest cock in town.
O, i cannot but feel the compassion, of the need of young female human animals, to engage in a ritualistic frenzy, simply because she's come of age, and beloved by all.
Lyrics Debate
Jim Lawton wrote:
I'm not convinced that [the phrase "dig in"] should not be "digging/diggin' the dancing queen"… [it] makes more sense.
"You come in to look for a king, Anybody could be that guy" could mean "any one of the boys there could turn out to be the king."
although later we get: "Leave them burning and then you're gone\ Looking out for another, anyone will do", but there she's looking for dance partners.
Digging sounds more fitting at first. However, listening to the song again, it more sounds like "dig in", as the singer sung that phrase with two clearly distinct syllables, with the "in"'s tone emphatic.
If you consider digging, then the question is: WHO is doing the digging?
But if we consider "dig in", it isn't exactly out of place in the lyrics. Consider "dig in" as in "get into it".
(Apparently, some men confused "dig in" with "plunge in". For apparent reasons, some men look upon everything as a hole.)
Now, the interesting question here really is the etymology of the slang "dig", as in "you dig?", "dig it?". I wonder, if it have much to do with the act of digging, as in expending effort to excavate. Frankly, i think so. The act of digging is exactly the seeding of the slang. My guess is based on logic and ethology. Basically, think about it, digging is a sweating work. It takes effort. And, you wouldn't dig something if you don't really care about it. Dig?
Now, as to the exact meaning of the "dancing" queen in this lyrics. I have no doubt it is not about some girl looking for sexual partners or engaged in an orgy. However, it does not deny these implications neither.
The word "dance" as a type of dancing done in night clubs as in this song, always are tied to sex. In pop songs, it can simply mean dancing in a night club sans connotation to f�cking, but it also often functions as a euphemism for f�cking. For instance of the latter, Tina Turner has a song "Private Dancer" that puts doubts to rest. And, most often the exact meaning of "dancing" is left unsaid on purpose. For example, if you or a girl goes to a night club. Sure, you are going to dance. But are you really going to do it? Nobody is going to put a plan on it before hand. Such things you just let it happen, if it happens. It would be crude and cheap, if the song's gonna reveal what the dance of the 17 years-old dancing queen is really about. And the song would immediately lose all appeal if the dancing is made clear to be a pure aerobic exercise.
But finally, night club dancing is indelibly a sexual act. It is nothing but a sexual act. It is the physical manifestation of a sexual ritual, a prequel to copulation among a large percentage of human animals. A warm up to possible sex, so to speak. It is not a wonder, in dance places the sexes are dressed to kill, and the participants all have condoms at hand, with boozes to help their ways. In fact, the defining characteristics of a Saturday Night's Dancing, is not about aerobic exercise, drinking, dancing, nor acquaintanceship, but the getting together of sexes to sniff each other's butts.
So, is the song talking about orgy? about a whore? about sex? Of course not. But it is talking about dancing. Dancing in a frenzy of a nubile girl.

Q: Why don't atoms emit more than one photon during an energy level transition? If you look at the emission spectrum of an atom, there are sharp lines corresponding to the different energy level transitions.  That's because the single photon emitted during each transition carries the entire energy of the transition.
My question is: how does it happen that just a single photon carries all the energy?  Why isn't the energy sometimes split among two or more photons?
I understand how the rules of quantum mechanics constrain the energy states of the atom to a discrete set of levels, but I don't understand how they also constrain the number of produced photons to be equal to one.

A: Two-photon emission does exist, or else the 2s state of hydrogen would be stable. You can get a pretty decent estimate for this kind of rate without any fancy math or physics, just using the energy-time uncertainty principle. The typical rate of emission for a photon, when not forbidden by parity, is $R \sim 10^9\ \text{s}^{-1}$. We can think of the two-photon decay as an energy-nonconserving jump up to some higher-energy state, with the emission of a photon, followed by the emission of a second photon leading down to the ground state. The first jump can happen because of the energy-time uncertainty relation, which allows the electron to stay in the intermediate state for a time t ∼ h/E, which is on the order of $10^{−15}$ s. The probability for the second photon to be emitted within this time is $Rt$, so the rate for the whole two-photon process is $R^ 2 t \sim 10\ \text{s}^{-1}$. Considering the extremely crude nature of this calculation, the result is in good agreement with the observed rate of about $0.1\ \text{s}^{-1}$ for two-photon decay of the 2s state in hydrogen.

A: Another form of two photon emission is two photon excited fluorescence.
Two photon absorption is the absorption of two photons by a molecule to excite from ground state to excited state.

Two-photon absorption can lead to two-photon-excited fluorescence where the excited state produced by TPA decays by spontaneous emission to a lower energy state.

First, there is a two photon absorption, then a non-radiative deexitation, and a fluorescent emission. The electron returns to ground state by another non-radiative deexitation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-photon_absorption
Now you are asking about two photon emission, and phosphorescence is a type of multi-photon emission, where the absorbed energy is released by the emission of multiple photons.

Phosphorescence is a type of photoluminescence related to fluorescence. Unlike fluorescence, a phosphorescent material does not immediately re-emit the radiation it absorbs. The slower time scales of the re-emission are associated with "forbidden" energy state transitions in quantum mechanics. As these transitions occur very slowly in certain materials, absorbed radiation is re-emitted at a lower intensity for up to several hours after the original excitation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorescence
Two photon emission (stimulated) is possible by semiconductors.

We report the first experimental observations of two-photon emission from
  semiconductors, to the best of our knowledge, and develop a corresponding theory for the
  room-temperature process. Spontaneous two-photon emission is demonstrated in
  optically-pumped bulk GaAs and in electrically-driven GaInP/AlGaInP quantum wells.

Apparmor has switched from perl to python (version 3.4). Most of the tools/libraries are written in python. All earlier perl modules have been deprecated.
OTOH, yast is moving towards ruby deprecating python bindings, but still keeping the perl-bindings.
I have tried rubypython, but it supports python version 2.7 only. Supporting version 3 and above is not in their agenda as yet. Another ruby module "python" is not actively developed/maintained.
So, I am asking for options on how we can take the development of yast-apparmor forward.
One of the options is to create dbus interface between servers_non_y2 and clients. But that would require another process running in the background for event loop. It comes with it the steps of cleaning up the process on a exit/kill etc.


I met Juliet Renee Williams of JulRe Designs several months ago on of all place, Twitter. After one look at her website www.julredesigns.com I knew that I had come in contact with an extremely talented jewelry designer. Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting Juliet in person at the Skin Serenity open house and fashion show. Even more incredible than in the photos, the colors, sparkle and unique design of these amazing necklaces, earrings and bracelets had everyone drooling!.The phrase "statement jewelry" really pertains to Juliet's masterpieces.
Her Exquisite Wearable Art consists of a wide variety of high quality semi - precious and precious stones and metals. She designs each piece in her studio in Jersey City, NJ and showcases all new work exclusively in the JulRe Designs showroom in New York City and at Trunk Shows and Fashion events in other major US cities. Juliet's jewelry has been featured on NBC's "Today Show", WNBC's "Weekend Today in New York" and in Heart & Soul magazine. Her designs are inspired by her undying love of color and fashion.
"I get inspiration from the rapid pace of the fashion world and the beautiful colors that nature bestows upon us. The mind, body and spirit connections help me to remain balanced and creative. The love and support of my wonderful family and friends keeps me grounded and centered. It all comes together in harmony through the beautiful pieces I love to create and share" says Juliet.


Graz Mulcahy is a man of many talents. As a leading local and international eyewear designer, he has collaborated with the likes of Australian design heavy weights Ellery and Chronicles of Never. Known as a pioneer in his field, he started AM eyewear at the age of 19 and worked on Ksubi's now eponymous eyewear range. Not content with just one industry, he has recently also donned the title of music director for Dubai Fashion Week, Australian Fashion Week and Hong Kong Luxury Week. In town over the weekend to celebrate his line with directional eyewear boutique Optiko we took two minutes with this eyewear guru.
I apply my attention to the process of design in every aspect. Most of my time is spent doing other peoples jobs and writing emails - most people think I sketch sunglasses shapes all day. I also do music. Make it, play it, organize it, and listen to it a lot.
The customers are the most exciting part. The part they play in the whole thing is the most exciting as it's out of your hands, yet a live or die role that they play. Oh and Djing before Prince a few weeks ago.

Killeen Police investigate an early morning fatal crash on South Fort Hood Street
Officers responded to the 8400 block of South Fort Hood St. today at 4:18am, after receiving numerous 911 calls in reference to a crash. As the officers were responding, they were told one of the vehicles had caught fire and was fully engulfed with the driver still inside. Officers arrived and found a 2008 white Chevy Malibu that was in the ditch and occupied by a female driver and a teal colored 1998 Chevy Lumina on fire in the median; because the Lumina was fully engulfed in flames, officers were unable to get to the driver. Once the fire was distinguished, it was learned that the occupant was unable to get out of the vehicle. The driver was pronounced deceased by Justice of the Peace Garland Potvin at 5:27am and ordered an autopsy to be performed at the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences in Dallas.
The preliminary investigation revealed that the Chevy Lumina was traveling northbound on South Fort Hood St. in the southbound inside lane and the Chevy Malibu was traveling southbound also in the inside lane when the two vehicles collided head on in the 8400 block. The Lumina came to rest in the median east of the roadway and caught fire, the Malibu came to rest in the ditch area west of the roadway. The female driver of the Malibu was airlifted to Baylor Scott & White Memorial Hospital in critical condition.
The driver of the Lumina has not been identified at this time and the name of the victim at Baylor Scott & White has been withheld due to her condition.

With Santorum suspending campaign, some religious conservatives wonder how to proceed
By Dan Gilgoff, CNN.com Religion Editor
(CNN) - Evangelical activist Michael Farris was not exactly surprised that Rick Santorum suspended his campaign on Tuesday. But that doesn't mean that Farris, a longtime political organizer, knows what he's supposed to do now.
"Right now my choice is to sit on my hands and do nothing or to actively try to find some alternative" to Mitt Romney, Farris said in an interview shortly after Santorum's announcement.
"Some of us just have a hard time supporting a person who said he was going to be more liberal on gay rights than Ted Kennedy," said Farris, chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association, referring to remarks Romney made in a 1994 letter.
Farris' reaction is a stark emblem of the disappointment among religious conservatives over Santorum's announcement, and a reminder that Romney's enthusiasm deficit among the conservative evangelicals who form the GOP's base hasn't gone away.
"There are two kinds of disappointment today," said John Green, a religion and politics expert at the University of Akron. "One is felt by people who care a great deal about social issues, especially white evangelicals, who are uncomfortable with Mitt Romney."
"And there's another group who really liked Santorum," Green continued, "and were quite excited about him not only because of the social issues but because they saw him as representing this positive role for faith and values in a society."
The conservative and largely evangelical Family Research Council said in an email to supporters Tuesday night that Santorum's announcement "was clearly disappointing news for those looking for a nominee who understands and articulates the connection between the social and fiscal challenges facing America."
"His historical run for President achieved remarkable success because his campaign was based not on money spent, but on the pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-freedom message he carried," the Family Research Council email blast said.
Religious conservatives were the key to Santorum's unlikely rise as a serious presidential candidate. Conservative evangelicals and Catholics were drawn to Santorum as much for his personal story – he is a conservative Catholic and homeschooling dad of seven – as for his outspoken advocacy against abortion rights and same-sex marriage as a U.S. senator.
While polls showed him at the back of a seven-person pack just weeks before January's first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses, Santorum won a plurality of Iowa evangelicals, who accounted for nearly 60% of the electorate. That support laid the foundation for a first place Iowa finish.
After Santorum's primary loss in New Hampshire to Mitt Romney - and days before Santorum would lose to Newt Gingrich in South Carolina - conservative religious activists convened in Texas and congealed behind the former Pennsylvania senator.
With strong evangelical support, Santorum went on to win primaries and caucuses in 11 states, even as Romney racked up more than twice as many delegates.
Not all conservative religious activists are as dead-set against Romney as Farris, who is also chancellor at Patrick Henry College, a school for homeschooled youth.
"Barack Obama will unite conservatives and people of faith more so than any single Republican candidate can hope to do," said Mat Staver, an evangelical Christian who leads the conservative legal group Liberty Counsel.
But Staver said Romney would have to work hard to excite social conservatives.
"He's going to have to make some intentional steps to reach out to evangelicals and religious conservatives," said Staver. "It would be a mistake to assume he has every vote from evangelicals and religious conservatives locked up."
At the moment, plenty of other conservative activists say they're still in wait-and-see mode about the primary season.
"It's very likely that he'll end up the nominee, but he's not he nominee yet," said Steve Scheffler, president or the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition, about Romney. "He was never my first choice, but I'll support him because the alternative is something we can't live with.
"But I'm not ready to throw my support to him yet," Scheffler said.

I think the real question is why did anyone ask Michael Farris for directions? His opinion is worth no more than anyone elses. Why does it matter what he does next? Who cares?
If the Pill and male condoms were used properly, abortion would not be an issue and Obama would not be president.

what does prayer change
prayer turned Santorum's campaign impotent.
April 13, 2012 at 10:23 am |
Prayer doesn't not change anything; you are so full of crap and lies. You have NO proof it changes anything! A great example of prayer proven not to work is the Christians in jail because prayer didn't work and their children died. For example: Susan Grady, who relied on prayer to heal her son. Nine-year-old Aaron Grady died and Susan Grady was arrested.
An article in the Journal of Pediatrics examined the deaths of 172 children from families who relied upon faith healing from 1975 to 1995. They concluded that four out of five ill children, who died under the care of faith healers or being left to prayer only, would most likely have survived if they had received medical care.
The statistical studies from the nineteenth century and the three CCU studies on prayer are quite consistent with the fact that humanity is wasting a huge amount of time on a procedure that simply doesn't work. Nonetheless, faith in prayer is so pervasive and deeply rooted, you can be sure believers will continue to devise future studies in a desperate effort to confirm their beliefs! ~,~
Trolling, it is a kind of power rush or ego trip to be a troll. Being online is a place that is largely free of perceived consequences... an insecure person can get a sense of power online, without ever having to face someone directly. With the Internet being a world of imagination and fantasy for some, cowardly users can forge an alter ego for themselves, and act out their feelings of anger and inadequacy. It's sad and unfortunate that our advanced communications also brings out the darker side of many people.

What is BLM and Why is it Important?
Jasmine Garcia, Arts and Entertainment Reporter
The BLM movement started around 2020. BLM stands for Black Lives Matter; and this whole movement wasn't created to push down the importance of other lives but to raise the realization of the unfairness that is shown to people of color. BLM was always something people have fought for but when the death of George Floyd was announced people began to open their eyes to the racism that is put into the world.
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was murdered by police. Derek Chauvin, one of the four police officers who arrived on the scene, knelt on Floyd's neck and back for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. This death was something that could have and should have been avoided by police. The discrimination toward black people has been around for a long time, and there have been several occasions when people have fought for this racism to stop. The BLM movement was exactly that, it was a movement to show people that it needs to be stopped. Racism is a huge thing that many people contribute to and don't understand why it is so wrong.
The BLM movement had protests to show that us as humans should stand together when people are mistreated for something as dumb as the color of their skin. Racism is something that is not only taught but is acted out upon kids to adults. There is discrimination towards someone of a different race even though they can not change that, but why should they need to. Black people should not have to fear their family, friends, and peers will get hurt by leaving their homes. When people think of BLM, they think people are trying to say that Black Lives are the only lives that matter, but this whole movement is to prove that certain races aren't treated with equality.
