Olivier's Old Hamlet Compared to Disney's Mufasa
Many have made various adaptations of the Shakespearean classic play Hamlet. The elements that are changed in these adaptations give crucial insight into the director's perception of the events of the play, sometimes done for theatrical effect while at other times done simply for the sake of clarity. One examples of such differences is the scene in which Hamlet sees his father's ghost in Laurence Olivier's Hamlet compared to the same scene in Disney's The Lion King. While there is the similarity between the two in that they both urge the male protagonists to take actions resulting in avenging their fathers' deaths, Old Hamlet's ghost in Hamlet and Mufasa's ghost in The Lion King are fundamentally different in their appearance, mood, and purpose.
One major difference in the scenes with the ghosts in the two movies is in the characters restraining the protagonist from seeing his father's ghost. In Hamlet, Horatio and the guards physically restrain Hamlet from seeing the ghost of his father, citing concerns for his safety as their reasoning. In The Lion King, the primary antagonistic forces preventing Simba from seeing his father's ghost are not separate characters, but instead his own internal feelings of guilt and remorse as he believes he was responsible for his father's death. The adaptation that The Lion King takes adds another previously missing element of internal conflict which is considerably more difficult to display in cinematic adaptations where soliloquys and asides look out of place.
Another major difference in the scenes is in the portrayal of the ghosts of the protagonists' fathers. In Hamlet, Old Hamlet's ghost is never actually seen by the viewers of the movie. In The Lion King, Mufasa's ghost is clearly visible to the viewers, but Rafiki does not directly acknowledge his presence. Both of these lend credence to the widely held notion that Old Hamlet's ghost was in fact simply a hallucination...

The owner of the 5+-acre site housing the one-time Saxonville Lumber business has plans to put two buildings there: one housing a health club and medical office, the other for retail space, the MetroWest Daily News reports. This looks like good news indeed for the neighborhood, which has seen a key piece of the business district lie mostly fallow for more than a decade.
I'll be very interested to see details , which the News says may be before the Planning Board Oct. 16. I'm hoping plans include an attractive pedestrian streetscape -- meaning at least one building near the sidewalk, with an attractive facade and landscaping that make it appealing to walk by and to; there should be an obvious, appealing way that pedestrians can get to the businesses by walking. Saxonville is (for the most part) one of Framingham's few walkable neighborhoods, and we need to keep it that way. What we do not need is another strip mall with a moat of asphalt between pedestrians and businesses.
My ideal for the parcel would include a restaurant, cafe or other eaterie of some sort with outdoor seating in nice weather; nice landscaping, and some way patrons could take advantage of the river view. It's completely insane that we have no businesses in Saxonville that take advantage of proximity to the river.
First, owner Tony Kwan will be going to the Conservation Commission due to potential impact on nearby Cochituate Brook and the Sudbury River. Hopefully, that won't be a problem.
Sharon, I've seen Tony's plan - he gave us a sneak preview at the Friends of Saxonville annual meeting last spring, and it includes a "pocket park" on the northwest corner of the property, right on the riverfront. It will be landscaped, have seating, and hopefully be a nice little respite for people walking down that section of Concord Street.
There will not be street front buildings though - the existing buildings far back in the lot are going to be used after extensive renovations. I agree with everything you say, and though the project probably won't be everything we would like to see, I think it's going to be a massive improvement! Tony is a wise businessman, but also very community-oriented, and wants this development to improve the aesthetics of the village and be enjoyed by the public, not just turn a profit.
Thanks, Brett. I missed the Friends of Saxonville presentation, but got to see some of the plans at Snackin' Saxonville yesterday (nice event!) and talked a bit with Tony Kwan. I agree that the plan as is would be a vast improvement to what's there now, and with a few minor tweaks, could be even better; I'm hoping he's open to suggestions. Will be blogging about my impressions this morning.
Glad you made it to the event and enjoyed it, Sharon. It completely slipped my mind that Tony would probably be there with his plans when I posted my original comment. The 3D model was new and a really cool addition to the presentation.
In between manning some of the food tables (I was the bearded guy in the Saxonville hat and shades) I gave my usual historic walking tour of the village. It's always a delight for me to walk people past buildings they've driven by numerous times and give them a fresh perspective on the history and usage of them. Even people who grew up in Saxonville usually learn a new fact or two. Much of what I talk about on the tour is in our new walking tour brochure - it can be downloaded from the Friends of Saxonville web site, and printed copies are being distributed around town. I try to ensure there's always a supply at the McAuliffe library branch.
When the State Lumber site renovation is done, it will be an interesting footnote for future walking tours to explain the re-use of the site and how the pocket park has given some river views back to pedestrians.

Yvonne Marianne Elliman, (Honolulu, Havaji 29. prosinca 1951.),  američka je pjevačica, tekstopisac, glazbenica i glumica. Poznata je po ulozi Marije Magdalene na Andrew Lloyd Webberovom albumu Jesus Christ Superstar a glumila je i u istoimenom filmu. 1977. je imala veliki hit s pjesmom "If I Can't Have You".

Životopis

Pozadina

Elliman preko oca ima irske korijene a preko majke kineske i japanske. Rođena je i odrasta u Honoluluu, na Havajima. Dobila je diplomu President Theodore Roosevelt High School 1970. Otac ju je naučio svirati kalvir i svirala je u jednom sastavu dok je pohađala srednju školu. Poslije završene škole seli za London.

Jesus Christ Superstar
Elliman svoju pjevačku karijeru započinje u Londonu 1969., kada nastupa po barovima i klubovima. Pjesma koje je pjevala nije voljela, pjevala je samo da bi zaradila novac. Počinje konzumirati droge a voljela je Jefferson Airplane. Tada su je zapazili Tim Rice i Andrew Lloyd Webber, i pozvali su je na audiciju za ulogu Marije Magdalene u rock operi  Jesus Christ Superstar. Dobila je ulogu koju će igrati naredne četiri godine kao i u filmu Jesus Christ Superstar iz 1973. Uloga u filmu donijela joj je Golden Globe Award u kategoriji Best Actress in a Muscial or Comedy. Prvi hit je bila pjesma iz  Jesus Christ Superstar, "I Don't Know How to Love Him".

Kasnije karijera
1971. seli za New York učestvujući u Broadwayskoj verziji Jesus Christ Superstar. Tamo je srela Billa Oakesa, koji je radio s Robertom Stigwoodom. Nedugo zatim Oakes i Elliman se vjenčaju. Elliman je pjevala na Claptonovoj obradi Marleyeve pjesme  "I Shot the Sheriff" 1974. S Claptonom je bila na turneji a zatim potpisuje ugovor s RSO Records. Njen prvi album s RSO Recordsom bio je  Rising Sun, no ploča nije doživjela uspjeh. Drugi album, Love Me, prošao je bolje a na njemu su bila dva hita. Jedan od hitova bila je pjesma "Love Me" koju su napisali Barry i Robin Gibb iz sastava The Bee Gees.

Elliman nastavlja suradnju s The Bee Gees i zajedno rade na filmu Groznica subotnje večeri 1977.
Prvo je bilo zamišljeno da će upravo ona otpjevati pjesmu "How Deep Is Your Love?", koja je i bila napisana za nju, no umjesto nje su to napravili Bee Gees som framförde den. Elliman pak izvodi pjesmu "If I Can't Have You", koja postaje veliki hit.
1977. ponovno surađuje s Claptonom na albumu Slowhand.

Nekoliko manjih hitova slijedi 1979., između ostalih iz filma Moment by Moment i pjesma Love Pains. Sudjelovala je i u dva nastavka TV serije Hawaii Five-O, gdje je otpjevala pjesmu I Can't Get You Out of my Mind. Singl Savannah je također postao manji hit. Nedugo zatim Elimann se odlučuje posvetiti obitelji i odgoju svoje djece.

2004. pravi comeback s albumom Simple Needs, na kojem se sve pjesme sama napisala.
Elliman često nastupa po festivalima i dobrotvornim koncertima.

Q: Celerybeat not recognizing new model even though django app does When starting celerybeat I get the following error:
Restarting celery periodic task scheduler
Stopping celerybeat... NOT RUNNING
Starting celerybeat...
Error: One or more models did not validate:
collections.collection: 'language' has a relation with model <class 'languages.models.Language'>, which has either not been installed or is abstract.
collections.translation: 'language' has a relation with model <class 'languages.models.Language'>, which has either not been installed or is abstract.

But the model languages has for sure been added to my django settings, uwsgi and celery starts up fine and everything else but celerybeat work as it should.
It's as if celerybeat works of an old settings file, but that should not be possible or is it? I have recently also moved my settings file.

A: Found the problem. I had earlier moved my settings files, but not changed this in the celery settings files. So solution was to find the files:
celeryd
celerybeat
in etc/default/

and change the path to where the settings files has been moved to.
sudo nano celeryd

and edit

This is a critical qualitative study grounded in the tripartite frame of Black masculinity, critical race theory and career development theory. The study revealed that African American professional men experience repressive and facilitative structures due to gendered racism, which impacts their careers in ways that are different from their White male counterparts and African American professional women. The study adds to the small body of literature in adult education on career development and race and responds to the call for more culturally relevant career development.

At Zilwa Attitude Mauritian tradition is present in the tiniest grain of sand. The typical, authentic feel of the place offers a direct link to Mauritius' heart and soul.
Inspired as much by traditional houses as Mauritian seaside settlements, the hotel is open to the trade winds, marine scents, and colours of the lagoon. Sip on a sweet exotic fruit drink on rattan armchairs and let yourself be swept away by the salty smell of sun-bleached driftwood.
Everything here anchors you in Mauritius, while the design touches blend perfectly with the Creole decor. On the horizon, the five northern islands float in the distance and a few metres from the shore, the private islands of Grand Zil and Ti Zilare often the stage for a convivial barbecue, or the intimacy of a massage. And everywhere you hear words spoken in Creole… Bienvéni!

Q: selecting tag with a specific attribute(only) I have the following document structure in :
...
...
something
something
something
something
...
...

In JavaScript (only) I want:
document.querySelectorAll("span.clblue") to give span with ONLY 'clblue' class NOT all the span(s) with 'clblue' and also other classes.

A: If you want to match a single class only rather than that class among others, you can use an attribute selector:
document.querySelectorAll('span[class="clblue"]');

A: With CSS select only one class name,
span[^="clblue"][$="clblue"] { ... }

Then We select it with JS,
let x = document.querySelectorAll("span[class^=clblue][class$=clblue]"); // NodeList

// x[0], x[1]... x[n]

A: What about filtering out the querySelectorAll value?
let items = document.querySelectorAll(".clblue");
let filtered = Array.prototype.filter.call(items, function(node) {
    return node.classList.length === 1;
});

Future in Mind: Developing Mental Health Services for Children and Adolescents with Learning Disabilities.
Dr Sarah Bernard and Professor Jeremy Turk, two psychiatrists from South Maudsley and London NHS Trust presented a fascinating talk about how Future in Mind aims to support young people with Learning Disabilities.
Jeremy began by giving some context of new terminology in the field; using the new term of 'intellectual disability' or 'intellectual developmental disorder' rather than learning disability. This is to be implemented in the DSM-5 and ICD-10. The DSM-5 no longer talks about IQ in relation to learning disabilities and instead now uses three deficit domains: 1- Conceptual, 2- Social and 3- Practical. He further highlighted comments made by Professor Chris Oliver of Birmingham University, that we do not need any more research on mental health in intellectual disability, we know what needs to happen but we just need to do it.
Sarah then took over to talk through the Future in Mind initiative. She described how tiered services were introduced in the 1990's to reduce waiting times. Future in Mind's approach is that tiered services create barriers for people accessing services and therefore would like to eliminate these tiers. At the same time, Sarah outlined how there is a there is difficulty in creating a pathway at both a local and National level for services for children and young people with Learning Disabilities, Autism or high functioning Autism and how this needs to improve.
Some of Future in Mind's aims by 2020 are: improving bonding with families, working in partnership with families and a holistic approach including the involvement of schools and social services. Alongside, evidence based therapies and using research to actually influence clinical practice. The need for crisis services was also made apparent, as currently there are no inpatient beds in the south of England and only three specialist units in the country.
An example of Southwark borough with given to highlight further why Future in Mind's approach should be applied to all child and adolescent services for intellectual disabilities.
Some further reading around the subject include:
Hassiotis A and Turk (2012). Mental health needs in adolescents with intellectual disabilities: cross-sectional survey of a service sample.

Sunny Hostin returned to The View desk on Monday with an unfortunate story to tell from her Fourth of July holiday.
The former prosecutor says she and her family and friends rented a home in the Hamptons village of Sag Harbor for the week, where they became the victims of a racist attack.
'We were there celebrating, and some kids, about 20 of them, ran in front of our home, and started yelling the n-word at us,' Hostin recalled on The View on Monday.
She says that the teens also yelled at them: 'This is America, we are patriots, this is our holiday'.
The teens broke her paddleboard too, Hostin added.
'The were kind of violent,' she said.
Hostin then showed a video she took in the aftermath of the attack, when she and some other members of her party confronted some teens they found outside the house.
In the video, they asked if they were from the same group that was shouting the racial slur, but the kids were emphatic that it was a different group.
Hostin says she filed a police report and that authorities 'were wonderful'.
'They were just as outraged as we were,' she says.
Hostin says they later learned that the group of teens traveled from as far as New Jersey to target them, because Sag Harbor is a traditionally black community, being one of the first seaside towns in the country where African-Americans could buy property.
'This area is supposed to be a safe haven, a place of pride,' she said.
Unfortunately the incident put a sour note on what was supposed to be a weekend of rest and relaxation, for both her and her friends.


In response to yesterday's blog Yasmin/Yaz MDL Filed, one non-lawyer reader asked me to restate it in English. I have always been against legalease, but it looks like I did not remember my law school training. So, here is a new version, taking into consideration that some readers are not lawyers, and some readers are lawyers without MDL experience.
MultiDistrict Litigation is what happens when multiple cases from different federal courts are brought together. It only applies to cases filed in federal courts, though some states have their own version of MultiDistrict Litigation (for example, Philadelphia has a mass torts program).
When there are numerous federal cases involving common questions of fact, the Judicial Panel on MultiDistrict Litigation (JPML) can decide to bring all of those cases together for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. By bringing these cases together, parties to the cases can share in the cost-benefits of avoiding duplicative common discovery. For example, in an individual case by a person alleging Yaz caused a stroke, that plaintiff would have to pay for the costs of depositions of Bayer's corporate representatives and scientists.
However, in an MDL, where many Yaz plaintiffs are brought together, those depositions take place once, every plaintiff gets to use them, and the cost is split among all of them. Additionally, bringing similar cases together in an MDL avoids inconsistent rulings—a judge in one court might find that some evidence is irrelevant, while the same evidence may be ruled relevant by a different judge in another court. That scenario is avoided in an MDL, where one judge will make all of the pretrial rulings. Finally, having these cases before one judge saves time and judicial resources—instead of dozens or hundreds of judges, clerks, and administrative time being dedicated to dozens or hundreds of cases, there is only one judge and the resources of his/her court brought to bear on the cases.
At the end of the pretrial proceedings, individual cases are then sent back to their home state. So, if a federal Yaz case was filed in the U.S. District Court of Maryland, and the JPML approved a Yaz MDL in Ohio, the Maryland case would go to Ohio for general, common discovery (for example, what was the chemical makeup of the Yaz, did Bayer know the dangers of drospirenone, etc.), then would be sent back to Maryland for case specific discovery (what did the plaintiff's doctor know about the dangers of Yaz, did the plaintiff have any pre-existing medical conditions that could have caused her injury, etc…).
Why are Yasmin/Yaz Lawyers trying to get an MDL started?
Plaintiffs in a number of Yasmin/Yaz cases have asked the JPML to approve a Yasmin/Yaz MDL. The JPML will receive documents from all parties stating their position on the matter; will have a hearing with arguments for and possibly against; and will then make a decision whether to form a Yasmin/Yaz MDL.
Yasmin/Yaz Plaintiffs' lawyers believe that bringing the cases together in an MDL is a good idea. All plaintiffs have used one of the two similar birth control drugs. All of the plaintiffs suffered one of a fairly narrow set of injuries. All of the plaintiffs must prove the same things in their cases—including whether the drug can cause injury. It just makes sense to do things once, rather than over and over again in cases across the country.
A lot of people get confused on this point. MDL's are not class actions. A class action is one case with a lot of people in it; an MDL is a lot of people with individual cases brought together for a time. Most class actions are for consumer-type injuries—for example, a defective television, where everyone has basically the same injury. In a personal injury action like those in the Yasmin/Yaz cases, however, each person has an individual case and unique damages. One woman's stroke may have caused different long-term injuries than another woman's stroke. Therefore, the Yasmin/Yaz cases cannot be lumped together in a class action. Also, in a class action, the resolution of case will typically resolve any claim any class member had. In an MDL, each case is unique and may be resolved separately.
I hope this clarifies things. For more on MultiDistrict litigation, see the United States Judicial Panel on MultiDistrict Litigation.

Fugue in a
for piano solo
Daryl Jamieson
Genre: Keyboard, Piano, One Keyboard, Two Hands
1 x Piano
I wrote a Fugue in f in 2001, a Fugue in c# in 2007, a Fugue in b (2010) and now this is the fourth in a long-term series of fugues for solo piano I plan to write, about once every three-four years. They are like entries in a stylistic journal, snapshots of my musical preoccupations. By re-imagining the fugal form each time, I crystallise my musical thinking down to its most technical, leaving poeticism to one side and allowing myself to abstract. Writing these pieces allows me to focus on pure form, within a broad conception of the idea of fugue. Fugue in a has a clear theme and countertheme; the former is a series of quick notes in unstable rhythms, surrounded by varying degrees of silence, while the latter is more sustained and melodic material. The material develops not in terms of pitch, but through rhythmic change, especially the length of the silences in the theme.

Our Signature Services
When your teeth are so severely worn down that they're causing significant functional and aesthetic issues, our dentists can restore them and get you back to normal with full mouth reconstruction, which typically involves multiple procedures.
Our dentists can quickly replace a full set of missing or deteriorated teeth with permanent dental implants that look and feel just like the real thing. Full arch dental implants will change your life!
Our ongoing goal is to ensure every surface of each tooth is cleaned to prevent decay, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. Brushing only cleans 60 percent of each tooth; the remaining 40 percent requires flossing.
The Proof Is
In Our Patients
Cindy Smith
"I'd been with another dentist for a long time, but he was unavailable when I broke a crown on my front tooth, so I called Dr. Pruett. I was nervous when I found out I would need an implant, thinking, 'This guy doesn't know my teeth!' But Dr. P. was incredibly professional, kind and reassuring during the whole procedure. He even gave me his cell-phone number and told me to call him day or night, even though his wife was expecting any day! The staff was equally supportive and compassionate. I am so happy with the result!"
Laura Williams
"I am in my early 20s and have always had the same dentist. When I started having tooth pain, a friend recommended Dr. Pruett. I was shocked when he discovered several cavities that my previous dentist had completely missed! Dr. Pruett really improved the look and comfort of my teeth and taught me ways to take care of my smile for life!"
Sandra Ansbaugh
"I've never been to any dentist I like as much as Dr. P. He's personal, patient, kind and fully explains every procedure to you. My care has been so good that even if I move back to Scotland I will fly back every year for my dental appointment! No joke!"
George "Jim" Clark
"I had crowns that kept falling out that my previous dentist couldn't manage to fix, so he referred me to Dr. Pruett. After a thorough examination Dr. Pruett suggested that due to a significant grinding habit and the current bite relationship that we would need to remove the failing crowns and reconstruct my bite. The first day I was in the chair for the whole afternoon having my teeth worked on, but it wasn't uncomfortable at all! About two weeks later I had my new permanent crowns in place and they are the best teeth I've ever had! I never had a smile this great looking, even when I was young!"
Paul Mausz
"The office has a real family atmosphere and the whole staff treats you with a sincere level of caring. This is a special place. I would never go anywhere else"
Cheryl Crocker
"As a nurse, I wanted to find a dentist who was up on the most current technology and treatments. I read an article in a local magazine and was impressed with Dr. Pruett's professionalism and vision for this practice. His enthusiasm and desire to educate and explain really make you feel comfortable and confident that the care you're receiving is of the highest possible standard. I've been so pleased with him and the staff that I've referred tons of people!"
Jody Baumgardner
"I was a patient of Dr. Smith before he retired, and he set a very high standard. I'm thrilled to report that Dr. Pruett is phenomenal, both as a dentist and a person. His skill, friendliness and compassion are amazing."
Lou Rogers
"Dr. Pruett is the most professional and eager dentist I have ever worked with. His commitment to patients and staff creates an incredibly positive experience for everyone."
Kasey Hobbs and Ronnie Purdy
We've been friends with Tim since we were all kids. We witnessed his dedication as a student and knew he would apply the same commitment to his practice, employees and especially his patients. Now, as patients ourselves, we feel fortunate having him as our dentist because we know how hard he works and what a good person he is."

I'm never buying another Apple product again and you shouldn't either.
In December, I went to an Apple Store to replace my battery because my iPhone 6s' charge wasn't lasting as long. This was going to be the second time I replaced my battery, with the first replacement coming from a third-party shop. When I got there, I waited for 45 minutes, despite having an appointment, only to be told they wouldn't replace my battery.
The store clerk told me that Apple has a policy of not replacing third-party batteries because they "don't know how their tools will interact with it." After this, he told me that I should get a new phone, preferably the latest model of iPhone.
This situation is a minor example of a major issue facing society nowadays. Electronic companies use arbitrary rules and underhanded methods to prevent people from repairing the devices they buy.
Apple's refusal to touch third-party batteries is justified with the flimsiest of reasons. They don't know how their tools will interact with third-party batteries? Their tools will probably interact with them about the same as the tools of the roughly 15,000 other repair stores in the U.S.
Alone, this situation could just be seen as Apple attempting to protect itself from liability, but Apple's heavy restrictions, when contextualized with its other actions, are primarily about preventing phone repair.
In 2009, Apple switched to using a five-point security screw on all of its devices. This screw is proprietary and unique to Apple. There was no reason for Apple to do this, and this decision did nothing but increase the difficulty of repairing phones.
In December 2017, Apple admitted that it deliberately slowed older models of iPhones down with software updates. The company claims it did this to improve performance, but it just so happened that the slowdowns coincided with the releases of newer iPhone models and IOS software.
Apple deliberately inducing slowdowns in older phones is an example of planned obsolescence. Apple is a particularly egregious practitioner of it, but isn't the only cell phone company to do it.
In October, both Samsung and Apple were fined for planned obsolescence by an Italian court. Apple was fined for its slowdowns, and Samsung was fined for not adequately warning consumers that a software update would cause undue stress on older phones.
Why do cell phone companies and electronics companies get to arbitrarily reduce your ability to enjoy your property? Smart phones can cost between $500 and $1,000, so the idea that that's only supposed to last two years is ridiculous.
That's why it's important to support the electronics right to repair movement. This movement, spearheaded by the Repair Association, is dedicated to enacting legislation to protect people's right to repair the products they buy.
As of 2018, there are 18 states with right to repair legislation pending, including North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. This legislation would require companies to provide information and parts necessary to maintain products to owners.
Unfortunately, companies like Apple and Verizon are fighting against this, by lobbying against these laws in several states.
Not only are these companies deciding when you should have to spend more money, they're actively fighting against your ability to extend the life of your property.
We are supporting the right to repair movement from Australia. We attended and volunteered at 31 repair cafe events last year to spread the word. No company is going to tell us we can't remove a 'void it removed' warranty sticker. We will care for and maintain what we own, as we must protect ourselves from learned helplessness. We value our sense of agency and will fight vehemently to protect it.

Minnesota Looking To Become More Gun-Friendly

A group of new bills currently under review by the Minnesota House of Representatives could have a big impact on the state's gun laws and result in some major victories for gun rights supporters, according to this story from dailycaller.com.
One bill is what's commonly referred to as a "stand your ground" law, which looks to clarify and extend the state law on "use of force in defense of home and person." As it stands, state residents are required by law to "retreat in cases of self-defense outside the home," which means someone has to have no viable retreat option before they can legally defend themselves while outside their home.
The new law would allow residents to use lethal force to stop a variety of felonies, whether a person is in their home or not. Those crimes include a variety of assaults, arson, burglary, robbery, and kidnapping.
"The individual is not required to retreat," the law says. The law also says that someone entering a home "by stealth" can be assumed to be an imminent threat that can be met with deadly force, unless the resident knows the person being stealthy has the legal right to be there.
Another bill is a constitutional carry law, which means, if it passes, state residents would not require anything more than state residency to carry a concealed firearm without a permit, although an optional permit would still be available.
Indiana and South Dakota lawmakers are looking to allow residents to carry arms "the way the Constitution intended," as one put it.
Permitless Carry Considered in 2 States
The third bill is somewhat redundant as is seeks to loosen the restrictions for handgun permits, including reducing the fee by half and no longer requiring a permit renewal, the story says. Currently they have to be renewed every five years and cost $100.
This story from twincities.com says it remains unclear how much traction the bills will get in the state Senate, and that similar bills have garnered vetoes from Gov. Mark Drayton in the past.
Others think this year, the bills have more momentum.
"I think nationally, maybe because of fear or terrorism or crime, there's more interest than ever," said Rep. Tony Cornish (R-Vernon Center), a gun rights proponent who chairs the pivotal public safety committee and has authored one of the bills, the story reports.
The twincities.com story also says that a fourth bill is incoming that would allow for great reciprocity for CCW permits, permitting the state to recognize permits from other states that would either require Minnesota to recognize permits from all other states, or define some specific criteria for which states would be excluded—such as states that don't require background checks, the story says. Currently Minnesota recognizes out-of-state gun permits only from states that are "similar."

Contrary to popular belief, the typical technology executive is not a green-haired, three-toed, twentysomething hauling his pierced body to the office on a skateboard. That's the guy who works FOR the exec. Most dot-com top dogs resemble their counterparts in the so-called old economy: Male, 55 or older, kinda lonely, unhappy with the workaholic lifestyle, and resigned to slaving away until the Grim Reaper shows up. In fact, according to a survey, only 2 percent of all technology execs are under 30. Now you know.

GCSE Science involves the study of: • Living Processes and Living Things (Biology) • Materials and their Properties (Chemistry) • Physical Processes (Physics) The Double award Science course leads to two GCSE grades. At the end of the course pupils will receive two grades from A*A* to GG. They study 12 modules of work, with the first six modules completed by May in Year 10. As pupils are tested throughout the course it is essential that pupils are present at school when module tests are due and that parents let us know if there are any extenuating circumstances, which mean that their child is unable to be present on a particular test date. Parents can also support their children's work by ensuring that they have access to a quiet area to work wherever possible and by keeping us informed of problems, which may affect work in school. Coursework Requirements 30% of the pupils GCSE marks are gained from module tests at the end of each module and 20% from the coursework carried out as part of the teaching modules. The final 50% of a pupil's grade is from two written examination papers in the June of Year 11. Much of the coursework is carried out in school during Science lessons, as it requires access to practical apparatus and advice from Science teachers, however the coursework may be written up at home before being handed in to the class teacher. Pupils should have completed a minimum of two pieces of coursework by the end of Year 10 and may complete another two or three pieces before the end of Year 11. The best pieces of work are submitted to the examination board as part of the GCSE.


Most people live in a selfish manner, where their main focus usually tends to be what they like, what they want, and what feels good to them. It's so important to work on ourselves, and if we want to create a truly happy relationship with someone, we need to learn how to be more selfless, giving, and concerned with our partner's wants and needs, and not solely on our own preferences and desires. This is why I wanted to create a list of four ways to help spice up our love lives, and I'm hoping that they'll all be helpful in improving our romantic relationships.
The only way to truly find out what your partner wants, is to do one of two things, but I'd highly recommend doing both. First of all, trial and error always works, so you should explore and discover one another a bit. But just as well, ask your partner directly what they like and want, and be sure to ask them what they don't like as well. This rule applies regardless as to whether they're basic desires, future desires, or whether they're on an intellectual, spiritual, romantic, or intimate level. Communication is everything, and the best way to know what someone wants is to ask them.
Now, this isn't necessarily something to do, but rather, something not to do. However, I think it suits this article just fine. You shouldn't assume that you know what your partner wants or needs in order to feel adequate and happy in your relationship. Going back to number one, ask your partner what he or she wants. As well, don't compare your partner to other partners that you might've had in anyway. Don't compare their looks, their personality, or even how they are on an intimate level to other people that you might've dated or explored relationships with.
Focus on pleasing your partner in every way. Things will naturally tend to reciprocate. Well, they should reciprocate at least, that is, when you're in a healthy and balanced relationship. Things should never be one-sided. Having said that, make sure that you're doing your part by being selfless, giving, and loving as much as possible. And when it comes to the bedroom, no one appreciates a selfish lover, and once someone discovers that their partner is selfish, they'll likely stop being so giving themselves.
Effort costs nothing. And it's one of the easiest ways that someone can tell how much you care about them. Try to put more effort into the things that you do for your partner, even towards the little things. Sometimes doing the little things with a lot of effort are much more valuable, and will be much more appreciated by your partner, than if you did the big things for them with little effort or thought.
A perspective that we should all acquire.

Principia Ethica.G. E. Moore - 1903 - Dover Publications.details
First published in 1903, this volume revolutionized philosophy and forever altered the direction of ethical studies. A philosopher's philosopher, G. E. Moore was the idol of the Bloomsbury group, and Lytton Strachey declared that Principia Ethica marked the rebirth of the Age of Reason. This work clarifies some of moral philosophy's most common confusions and redefines the science's terminology. Six chapters explore: the subject matter of ethics, naturalistic ethics, hedonism, metaphysical ethics, ethics in relation to conduct, and the ideal. Moore's (...) simplicity of style and precise use of everyday language exercised an enormous influence on the development of analytic philosophy, and they contribute to the continuing resonance of his compelling arguments.

Intentional Binding and the Sense of Agency: A Review.James W. Moore & Sukhvinder S. Obhi - 2012 - Consciousness and Cognition 21 (1):546-561.details
It is nearly 10 years since Patrick Haggard and colleagues first reported the 'intentional binding' effect . The intentional binding effect refers to the subjective compression of the temporal interval between a voluntary action and its external sensory consequence. Since the first report, considerable interest has been generated and a fascinating array of studies has accumulated. Much of the interest in intentional binding comes from the promise to shed light on human agency. In this review we survey studies on intentional (...) binding, focusing, in particular, on the link between intentional binding and the sense of agency . We suggest that, whilst it is yet to be fully explicated, the link between intentional binding and the sense of agency is compelling. We conclude by considering outstanding questions and future directions for research on intentional binding. (shrink)

The Evolution of Modern Metaphysics: Making Sense of Things.A. W. Moore - 2011 - Cambridge University Press.details
This book is concerned with the history of metaphysics since Descartes. Taking as its definition of metaphysics 'the most general attempt to make sense of things', it charts the evolution of this enterprise through various competing conceptions of its possibility, scope, and limits. The book is divided into three parts, dealing respectively with the early modern period, the late modern period in the analytic tradition, and the late modern period in non-analytic traditions. In its unusually wide range, A. W. Moore's (...) study refutes the tired old cliché that there is some unbridgeable gulf between analytic philosophy and philosophy of other kinds. It also advances its own distinctive and compelling conception of what metaphysics is and why it matters. Moore explores how metaphysics can help us to cope with continually changing demands on our humanity by making sense of things in ways that are radically new. (shrink)
Gricean Communication and Cognitive Development.Richard Moore - 2017 - Philosophical Quarterly 67 (267).details
On standard readings of Grice, Gricean communication requires (a) possession of a concept of belief, (b) the ability to make complex inferences about others' goal-directed behaviour, and (c) the ability to entertain fourth order meta-representations. To the extent that these abilities are pre-requisites of Gricean communication they are inconsistent with the view that Gricean communication could play a role in their development. In this paper, I argue that a class of 'minimally Gricean acts' satisfy the intentional structure described by Grice, (...) but require none of abilities (a)-(c). As a result, Gricean communicative abilities may indeed contribute to the development of (a)-(c) – in particular, by enabling language development. This conclusion has important implications for our theorising about cognitive development. (shrink)

Sense of Agency in Health and Disease: A Review of Cue Integration Approaches. [REVIEW]James W. Moore & P. C. Fletcher - 2012 - Consciousness and Cognition 21 (1):59-68.details
Sense of agency is a compelling but fragile experience that is augmented or attenuated by internal signals and by external cues. A disruption in SoA may characterise individual symptoms of mental illness such as delusions of control. Indeed, it has been argued that generic SoA disturbances may lie at the heart of delusions and hallucinations that characterise schizophrenia. A clearer understanding of how sensorimotor, perceptual and environmental cues complement, or compete with, each other in engendering SoA may prove valuable in (...) deepening our understanding the agency disruptions that characterise certain focal neurological disorders and mental illnesses. Here we examine the integration of SoA cues in health and illness, describing a simple framework of this integration based on Bayesian principles. We extend this to consider how alterations in cue integration may lead to aberrant experiences of agency. (shrink)

Corporate Character: Modern Virtue Ethics and The Virtuous Corporation.Geoff Moore - 2005 - Business Ethics Quarterly 15 (4):659-685.details
This paper is a further development of two previous pieces of work in which modern virtue ethics, and in particular MacIntyre's related notions of "practice" and "institution," have been explored in the context of business. It first introduces and defines the concept of corporate character and seeks to establish why it is important. It then reviews MacIntyre's virtues-practice-institution schema and the implications of this at the level of the institution in question—the corporation—and argues that the concept of corporate character follows (...) from, but is a novel development of, MacIntyre's schema. The paper contrasts corporate character and virtues with the more familiar concepts of corporate culture and values. The constitutive and substantive elementsof corporate character, including the essential corporate virtues, are then drawn out and illustrated with reference to the cases explored in Koehn . Finally, the paper acknowledges and counters a specific criticism of this approach. (shrink)
Awareness of Action: Inference and Prediction.James Moore - 2008 - Consciousness and Cognition 17 (1):136-144.details
This study investigates whether the conscious awareness of action is based on predictive motor control processes, or on inferential "sense-making" process that occur after the action itself. We investigated whether the temporal binding between perceptual estimates of operant actions and their effects depends on the occurrence of the effect (inferential processes) or on the prediction that the effect will occur (predictive processes). By varying the probability with which a simple manual action produced an auditory effect, we showed that both the (...) actual and the predicted occurrence of the effect played a role. When predictability of the effect of action was low, temporal binding was found only on those trials where the auditory effect occurred. In contrast, when predictability of the effect of action was high, temporal binding occurred even on trials where the action produced no effect. Further analysis showed that the predictive process is modulated by recent experience of the action-effect relation. We conclude that the experience of action depends on a dynamic combination of predictive and inferential processes. (shrink)

This study investigated the link between meditation, self-reported mindfulness and cognitive flexibility as well as other attentional functions. It compared a group of meditators experienced in mindfulness meditation with a meditation-naïve control group on measures of Stroop interference and the "d2-concentration and endurance test". Overall the results suggest that attentional performance and cognitive flexibility are positively related to meditation practice and levels of mindfulness. Meditators performed significantly better than non-meditators on all measures of attention. Furthermore, self-reported mindfulness was higher in (...) meditators than non-meditators and correlations with all attention measures were of moderate to high strength. This pattern of results suggests that mindfulness is intimately linked to improvements of attentional functions and cognitive flexibility. The relevance of these findings for mental balance and well-being are discussed. (shrink)

Selected Writings.G. E. Moore - 1993 - Routledge.details
G. E. Moore was one of the most interesting and influential philosophers of the first half of the twentieth century. This selection of his writings makes the best of his work once again available, and also includes previously unpublished writings. Moore's first published writings, represented in this collection by his papers "The Nature of Judgment" and "The Refutation of Idealism," contributed decisively to the break with idealism which led to the development of analytic philosophy. Moore went on to develop his (...) own style, which combined a defense of the common sense view of the world with a controversial analysis of the content of this view. Also included is Moore's famous "Proof of an External World," which marked a return late in his career to the critique of idealism. Other papers address perception and important issues in logical theory. The collection ends with three new pieces which illustrate Moore's relationship with Wittgenstein. In these pieces Moore discusses his "paradox" whichso fascinated Wittgenstein; the nature of our knowledge of our own sensations; and Malcolm's views about doubt and knowledge which were themselves inspired by Wittgenstein.

On the Implications of the Practice –Institution Distinction: Macintyre and the Application of Modern Virtue Ethics to Business.Geoff Moore - 2002 - Business Ethics Quarterly 12 (1):19-32.details
Abstract: After exploring MacIntyre's (1985) practice—institution distinction, the article demonstrates its applicability to business-as-practice and to corporations as institutions. It then considers the implications of MacIntyre's schema to ethical schizophrenia, to the claim that the market is a source of the virtues and to the opposite claim that capitalism corrodes character. A fully worked out modern virtue ethics, based on MacIntyre's work, is then established and the claim is made and substantiated that such an understanding of MacIntrye's work revitalises it (...) and makes it directly applicable to business and to corporations.

Modulating the Sense of Agency with External Cues.James W. Moore, Daniel M. Wegner & Patrick Haggard - 2009 - Consciousness and Cognition 18 (4):1056-1064.details
We investigate the processes underlying the feeling of control over one's actions . Sense of agency may depend on internal motoric signals, and general inferences about external events. We used priming to modulate the sense of agency for voluntary and involuntary movements, by modifying the content of conscious thought prior to moving. Trials began with the presentation of one of two supraliminal primes, which corresponded to the effect of a voluntary action participants subsequently made. The perceived interval between movement and (...) effect was used as an implicit measure of sense of agency. Primes modulated perceived intervals for both voluntary and involuntary movements, but the modulation was greatest for involuntary movements. A second experiment showed that this modulation depended on prime–movement contiguity. We propose that sense of agency is based on a combination of internal motoric signals and external sensory evidence about the source of actions and effects. (shrink)

Moral Disengagement in Processes of Organizational Corruption.Celia Moore - 2008 - Journal of Business Ethics 80 (1):129-139.details
This paper explores Albert Bandura's concept of moral disengagement in the context of organizational corruption. First, the construct of moral disengagement is defined and elaborated. Moral disengagement is then hypothesized to play a role in the initiation of corruption by both easing and expediting individual unethical decision-making that advances organizational interests. It is hypothesized to be a factor in the facilitation of organizational corruption through dampening individuals' awareness of the ethical content of the decisions they make. Finally, it is hypothesized (...) to contribute to the perpetuation of corruption in organizations, because if individuals who have a greater propensity to morally disengage are more likely to make decisions that advance organizational interests regardless of the ethicality of those decisions, they may also be rewarded for those decisions in terms of organizational advancement. Together these studies form an argument that moral disengagement plays an important role in processes of organizational corruption. (shrink)

Corporate Social and Financial Performance: An Investigation in the U.K. Supermarket Industry. [REVIEW]Geoff Moore - 2001 - Journal of Business Ethics 34 (3-4):299 - 315.details
The comparison of corporate social performance with corporate financial performance has been a popular field of study over the past 25 years. The results, while broadly conclusive of a positive relationship, are not entirely consistent. In addition, most of the previous studies have concentrated on large-scale cross-industry studies and often with a single variable for corporate social performance, in order to produce statistically significant results. This weakens the richness of understanding that might be obtained from a single industry study with (...) multiple social variables, which would also allow investigation of inter-relationships between individual and sub-sets of social performance measures and between individual and sub-sets of social performance and financial performance measures. There have also been criticisms that the results lack a rigorous theoretical basis, and the paper demonstrates clearly how stakeholder theory must form the basis for this area of research. Following a review of the literature this paper presents the initial findings from a study of the U.K. Supermarket industry which suggest that contemporaneous social and financial performance are negatively related, while prior-period financial performance is positively related with subsequent social performance. Positive relationships between both age and size of the company with social performance are also found. (shrink)

Religious Intensity, Evangelical Christianity, and Business Ethics: An Empirical Study.Justin G. Longenecker, Joseph A. McKinney & Carlos W. Moore - 2004 - Journal of Business Ethics 55 (4):371-384.details
Research on the relationship between religious commitment and business ethics has produced widely varying results and made the impact of such commitment unclear. This study presents an empirical investigation based on a questionnaire survey of business managers and professionals in the United States yielding a database of 1234 respondents. Respondents evaluated the ethical acceptability of 16 business decisions. Findings varied with the way in which the religion variable was measured. Little relationship between religious commitment and ethical judgment was found when (...) responses were compared on the basis of broad faith categories – Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, other religions, and no religion. However, respondents who indicated that religious interests were of high or moderate importance to them demonstrated a higher level of ethical judgment (less accepting of unethical decisions) than others in their evaluations. Evangelical Christians also showed a higher level of ethical judgment. (shrink)
Corporate Character, Corporate Virtues.Geoff Moore - 2015 - Business Ethics: A European Review 24 (S2):99-114.details
This paper extends previous discussions of corporate character and corporate virtues. By drawing particularly on the work of Alasdair MacIntyre, it offers a perspective on context-dependent categories of the virtues. It then provides a philosophically grounded framework which enables a discussion of which virtues are required for business organizations to qualify as virtuous. It offers a preliminary taxonomy of such corporate virtues and provides a revised definition of corporate character.
This paper is a further development of two previous pieces of work (Moore 2002, 2005) in which modern virtue ethics, and in particular MacIntyre's (1985) related notions of "practice" and "institution," have been explored in the context of business. It first introduces and defines the concept of corporate character and seeks to establish why it is important. It then reviews MacIntyre's virtues-practice-institution schema and the implications of this at the level of the institution in question—the corporation—and argues that the concept (...) of corporate character follows from, but is a novel development of, MacIntyre's schema. The paper contrasts corporate character and virtues with the more familiar concepts of corporate culture and values. The constitutive and substantive elementsof corporate character, including the essential corporate virtues, are then drawn out and illustrated with reference to the cases explored in Koehn (1998). Finally, the paper acknowledges and counters a specific criticism of this approach. (shrink)

Critical Elitism: Deliberation, Democracy, and the Problem of Expertise.Alfred Moore - 2017 - Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.details
Democracies have a problem with expertise. Expert knowledge both mediates and facilitates public apprehension of problems, yet it also threatens to exclude the public from consequential judgments and decisions located in technical domains. This book asks: how can we have inclusion without collapsing the very concept of expertise? How can public judgment be engaged in expert practices in a way that does not reduce to populism? Drawing on deliberative democratic theory and social studies of science, Critical Elitism argues that expert (...) authority depends ultimately on the exercise of public judgment in a context in which there are live possibilities for protest, opposition and scrutiny. This account points to new ways of looking at the role of civil society, expert institutions, and democratic innovations in the constitution of expert authority within democratic systems. Using the example of climate science, Critical Elitism highlights not only the risks but also the benefits of contesting expertise. (shrink)

The Fair Trade Movement: Parameters, Issues and Future Research. [REVIEW]Geoff Moore - 2004 - Journal of Business Ethics 53 (1-2):73-86.details
Although Fair Trade has been in existence for more than 40 years, discussion in the business and business ethics literature of this unique trading and campaigning movement between Southern producers and Northern buyers and consumers has been limited. This paper seeks to redress this deficit by providing a description of the characteristics of Fair Trade, including definitional issues, market size and segmentation and the key organizations. It discusses Fair Trade from Southern producer and Northern trader and consumer perspectives and highlights (...) the key issues that currently face the Fair Trade movement. It then identifies an initial research agenda to be followed up in subsequent papers. (shrink)
Fair Trade in Applied Ethics
Natural Resources, Territorial Right, and Global Distributive Justice.Margaret Moore - 2012 - Political Theory 40 (1):84-107.details
The current statist order assumes that states have a right to make rules involving the transfer and/or extraction of natural resources within the territory. Cosmopolitan theories of global justice have questioned whether the state is justified in its control over natural resources, typically by pointing out that having resources is a matter of good luck, and this unfairness should be addressed. This paper argues that self-determination does generate a right over resources, which others should not interfere with. It does not (...) entail, however, that there is no obligation on rich countries to redistribute to poor countries. Indeed, in some rare instances, it might be necessary for a particular political community to use its resources, but the presumption is that the collectively self-determining group should have the right to decide that. (shrink)
Intentional Relations and Social Understanding.John Barresi & Chris Moore - 1996 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 19 (1):107-122.details
Organisms engage in various activities that are directed at objects, whether real or imagined. Such activities may be termed "intentional relations." We present a four-level framework of social understanding that organizes the ways in which social organisms represent the intentional relations of themselves and other agents. We presuppose that the information available to an organism about its own intentional relations is qualitatively different from the information available to that organism about other agents' intentional relations. However, through the integration of these (...) two sources of information, it is possible to generate representations of intentional relations that are uniformly applicable to the activities of both self and other. The four levels of the framework differ in the extent to which such integration occurs and in the degree to which imagination is involved in generating these representations. Most animals exist at the lowest level, at which integration of first and third person sources of information does not occur. Of nonhuman species, only great apes exhibit social understanding at intermediate levels, at which integration of these sources of information provides uniform representations of intentional relations. Only humans attain the highest level, at which it is possible to represent intentional relations with mental objects. We propose that with the development of the imagination, children progress through three stages, equivalent to the later three levels of the framework. The abnormalities in social understanding of autistic individuals are hypothesized to result from a failure to develop integrated representations of intentional relations. (shrink)

The Virtue of Governance, the Governance of Virtue.Geoff Moore - 2012 - Business Ethics Quarterly 22 (2):293-318.details
The current economic and preceding financial crises seem to provide evidence in favour of the self-destruction thesis of capitalism. Responses to the crisis have been polarised. Some suggest that regulatory changes are all that is needed. Others suggest the need to change the economic system by developing a new global economic ethic. The first is too limited, the second too utopian. This article suggests that a MacIntyrean virtue ethics approach provides both a more convincing diagnosis of the problem and leads (...) to a more workable prescription. First, we need to understand the internal contradictions of the tradition that has developed of how to 'do' business. Then we need the virtues to be exercised inside practices and institutions. But virtue itself needs to be institutionalised; we need an appropriate governance of virtue in organizations. Even though governance is usually taken to 'crowd out' virtue, this article proposes an approach to governance that 'crowds in' virtue. (shrink)
Kantian Humility: Our Ignorance of Things in Themselves.A. W. Moore - 2001 - Philosophical Review 110 (1):117.details
Kant once wrote, "Many historians of philosophy... let the philosophers speak mere nonsense.... They cannot see beyond what the philosophers actually said to what they really meant to say.' Rae Langton begins her book with this quotation. She concludes it, after a final pithy summary of the position that she attributes to Kant, with the comment, "That, it seems to me, is what Kant said, and meant to say". In between are some two hundred pages of admirably clear, tightly argued (...) exegesis, supplemented by detailed references, in which she offers what the dust jacket blurb fairly describes as "a new interpretation and defence of Kant's doctrine of things in themselves." This is an extremely engaging and thought-provoking book. I am pleased to recommend it. (shrink)

Sibianor nigriculus – gatunek pająka z rodziny skakunowatych.

Gatunek ten został opisany w 1992 roku przez Dimitrija Łogunowa i Wandą Wesołowską jako Harmochirus nigriculus. W 2001 roku umieszczony został przez Łogunowa w nowym rodzaju Sibianor.

Samce tego pająka osiągają 1,42 mm długości i 1,1 mm szerokości prosomy oraz 1,71 mm długości i 1,19 mm szerokości opistosomy. U samic wymiary prosomy to 1,73 mm długości i 1,28 mm szerokości, a opistosomy 2,5 mm długości i 1,5 mm szerokości. Samce mają brązowawy karapaks z czarną okolicą oczu, brązowawe sternum, rudobrązowe szczękoczułki i wargę dolną i szarobrązową opistosomę z kądziołkami. Na stożku tegulum ma gruszkowate wgłębienie. Samice mają ciemnobrązowy karapaks z białymi włoskami, czarnym, siateczkowatym wzorem i czarnymi pierścieniami wokół oczu, szarą opistosomę ze słabo widocznym pasem podłużnym, ciemnobrązowe odnóża pierwszej i szarawobrązowe pozostałych par. Od S. turkestanicus różni się mniejszym zbiorniczkiem nasiennym i krótszym przewodem inseminacyjnym, natomiast od samicy S. aurocinctus jest słabo rozróżnialna.

Gatunek o rozsiedleniu mandżursko-japońskim. Rozprzestrzeniony od rosyjskiego obwodu amurskiego na zachodzie, po Japonię na wschodzie i Koreę Północną na południu.

Q: Duplicate id when creating a dialog in OpenUI5 I need help with OpenUI5. I created button in View and by clicking on button it creates Dialog window and throws an error so I cant proceed to functionality of the Dialog.
Button in view:
<m:Button text="{i18n>RESULTS_CHANCES_SEND_EMAIL}"
          class="sapUiMediumMarginBegin results-button"
          tap="sendToEmail"
          press="sendToEmail"
          icon="sap-icon://email">

Function in Controller:
sendToEmail: function() {

    var email = new Dialog({
      title: 'שליחת תוצאות לדוא"ל',
      type: 'Message',
      content: [
        new Input('submitEmailInput', {
          liveChange: function (oEvent) {
            var sText = oEvent.getParameter('value');
            var parent = oEvent.getSource().getParent();

            parent.getBeginButton().setEnabled(sText.length > 0);
          },
          width: '100%',
          placeholder: 'דואר אלקטרוני'
        })
      ],
      beginButton: new Button({
        text: 'שליחה',
        enabled: false,
        icon: 'sap-icon://email',
        press: function () {

          //var sText = sap.ui.getCore().byId('submitEmailInput').getValue();
          //MessageToast.show('Email is: ' + sText);

          // here comes the API request
          email.close();
        }
      }),
      endButton: new Button({
        text: 'סגירה',
        icon: 'sap-icon://decline',
        press: function () {
          email.close();
        }
      }),
      afterClose: function () {
        email.destroy();
      }
    });

    email.open();}

The error: duplicate id
Many thanks!

A: you have attached the same event handler to "tap" and "press" events so sendToEmail is being called twice (and the second time the control with the same ID already exists)... remove "tap" as this is depreciated, so you should end up with:
<m:Button text="{i18n>RESULTS_CHANCES_SEND_EMAIL}"
      class="sapUiMediumMarginBegin results-button"
      press="sendToEmail"
      icon="sap-icon://email">

It all started for me in early 2013 when I saw a YouTube video concerning "Sharukhan Clan" fighting at the "Dynamo" Cup. I was fascinated. I spent most of that year making my own armor. I quickly realized I was not a really good blacksmith, so I spent some of my savings on a handcrafted armor by a smith from Ukraine. And I was ready for the Championship. Team Denmark wasn`t participating, so I contacted HMBIA officials and I became a legionnaire of "Finland-1".
My armor dates back to 1370-1420 (Germany). I wanted gloves to protect my fingers. The earliest gloves I could find dated back to around 1420 and I wanted the sugarloaf bascinet, as it is a durable helmet having lots of air holes for visibility and easy access of air. I use a falchion for brawls and hard hitting.
I have long arms and can swing it pretty easily. Also, it is not that long, so I can use it as an axe, as well as a poleaxe.
My team and I practise HMB fighting at least once a week, so it is enough training for us. I run and do circle crossfit training, when I have time for that.
I practise circle training, high pulse – low pulse, I do not lose my breath. I achieved this through running.
Most of all I prefer "5 vs 5" and "21 vs 21". I really want to try triathlon, but my team is not big enough for me to participate in both events. (I want to be fully rested for the main events, that's why "5 vs 5" is good for me).
We try to stay focused while fighting, try to fight in a smart way and save energy. We always make sure we can participate in round 2.
I participated in the tournaments in Germany, Spain, Denmark. All the events were great!
My first encounter with the Ukrainian teams was in Copenhagen, I made good friends and I learned a lot from them. I think the Ukrainian teams are the ones I respect the most. They have turned HMB into a living and they are tough fighters.
Denmark participated with the Danish organization DMKS in 2012 and 2013, then they turned away from HMBIA in 2014, so I am trying to put together a team worthy for the "Battle of the Nations"-2015. I also know there are other fighters and teams here in Denmark who wants to fight in 2015, so I think Denmark will be a strong force. This year I was fighting for Finland… The Finns are great and show a lot of potential, my team and the Finns were participating in the "Dynamo" Cup this year.
A tremendous work done by the officials and the good atmosphere at "Battle of the Nations"-2014 has guaranteed my participation in 2015.
I would like to make Rus' armor instead of my German armor, and I am currently working on it. I still do need some help, but I will get it done before "Battle of the Nations"-2015.
We are still use the training techniques an tactics learned from the Ukrainian team's captain Alexey Lyalyushko. I am going to visit Kyiv to learn more.
The National team that surprised me the most was the Mexican team. Another good fact was that I finally met the guy who made the YouTube video about "Sharukhan" Clan and inspired me to start the journey.
Being able to embrace your opponent, showing him your respect and good will after a fight. It is a sport and we do it at our own risk. We should respect the love we put in this sport.
Buy armor, find a good blacksmith and make him fit it. The time I spent on my first armor and the money I spent on small things… Well, in the end it was almost equal to the money I spent on a handcrafted armor.
Train a lot, take of care of your ankles, knees and elbows and, most importantly, your neck.
Get the people around you involved in the business, because it is a time consuming hobby, try and make it a family event.


The Fund Library :: Special Reports :: Is it time to get defensive?
HOME : FEATURES : QUESTION & ANSWER : IS IT TIME TO GET DEFENSIVE?
Q – You have urged readers to be cautious of the global mess bring created by Trump and the possibility of a stock market crash. My question/conundrum is this: Is it worth incurring the capital gains to move to a cash/defensive position to avoid a possible market fall? – Barry D.
A – This is an excellent and timely question. I wish I could provide a definitive answer. But to do that would require clairvoyance, which I do not claim to have.
Here is what we know. This current-year bull market is the longest in modern history and won't run forever. Stock prices are high, and the risks of an all-out global trade war are real, which will not be good for anyone's economic prospects. Many respected market analysts are warning that there is trouble ahead.
You have to make your own decisions in that context. Review your portfolio and determine how vulnerable it would be if we had a repeat of 2008. Would the potential loss be worse than the capital gains tax exposure on your profits?
I would never suggest selling everything, since we can't know how events will evolve, especially given the unpredictability of President Trump. But I do think that increasing cash reserves is not a bad idea at this point, especially for older people with a relatively short time horizon.
