– A Brief History, 1853 – 2003
History prepared by Pat Lawson
From information compiled by Connie Hill
And condensed by Wayne Knorr (June 2003)
St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church on Main Street in Fredericton will celebratethe 150th anniversary of the laying of its cornerstone in 2003. This area of Fredericton's north side can trace its faith back much further than that, however.
The King's American Regiment first settled in Nashwaaks is after the American Revolution in 1783. They brought with them many things, including their religious beliefs. In fact, one of their members, the Rev. Dr. Samuel Cooke, was Chaplain to His Majesty's Guards and later became the first rector of Fredericton.
Planning for a church in Nashwaaksis started as early as 1851 when the first local committee of the Diocesan Church Society passed a resolution stating, in part, that it would be "very desirable to build a small church near the mills at the lower part of the parish."
Construction of St. John The Evangelist Anglican Church started in 1853, making it one of the oldest churches in Fredericton. The cornerstone of the church was laid on July 18, 1853. The church was enclosed in 1854 and completed in 1855 for a total cost of about 400 pounds.
The stone used to build the church was hauled from a quarry several miles away. Butternut trees along the St. John River were cut and church furnishings were made in the village carpenter shop. The Rt. Rev. Bishop John Medley consecrated St. John's on March 12, 1856.
Starting in 1857, Rev. Dr. George Goodrich Roberts was responsible for services in the parish. In his first annual report, Rev. Dr. Roberts reported the average attendance at Sunday sermons at St. John's was 100. Sunday School began in the parish in 1857. Various missionaries looked after the Parish of Douglas and St. John's Church during those early years.
In 1868, a number of improvements were made to the grounds and outbuildings of St. John's. In 1895, a new roof was put on the church and a new altar and altar cloth were received as a gift from Mrs. Medley, wife of Bishop Medley. Parish records record a number of ministers and lay readers continued to serve St. John's and area churches.
By 1912, St. John's was in need of repairs. It was not until 1919, however, that the efforts of Miss L.M. Myles, and active church member, resulted in enough funds being raised to re-shingle the church and fence the graveyard.
Parish of Douglas and Nashwaaksis 21
In 1923, a committee was struck to supervise the restoration of the church. Painting was done and the church was wired for electricity. In 1926, a concrete walk was built from the church door to the gate in the fence around the church. The same year light globes were installed in the church.
Ernest Doherty, a lay reader at St. John's, organized a choir at St. John's church between 1936 and 1938. A variety of ministers and lay readers continued to serve the parish. The first Women's World Day of Prayer Service in the Fredericton area was held in St. John's Church in 1940. In 1942, the men of the parish dug a church basement and installed a wood furnace.
In 1945, a Chancel Guild was organized for St. John's. The same year a Minshall organ was purchased to replace the foot-pumped organ. The church choir also started a Church Extension Fund the same year. The intent was to build an addition to the present church building to house a choir room. Fundraising for the church extension continued until 1950.
That year, St. John's Church purchased a 60' x 80' lot on the opposite side of the road from the church for the purpose of building a church hall. On August 13, 1950 Miss Lillian Myles, Sunday School superintendent for over 60 years, turned the first sod for the hall. The hall was completed in 1953 and dedicated to Miss Myles.
For many years, St. John's organized a canteen at the Fredericton Exhibition. The first was in 1950 and consisted of a canvas tent on the exhibition grounds near Aberdeen Street. In 1952, a canteen building was erected. St. John's Church continued to have a canteen at the Exhibition for 50 years.
In 1955, the furnace for the church was converted to oil. In 1956, a well was dug and water no longer had to be carried to the hall. In 1957, plans were made to extend the west end of the church building by 24 feet, putting a basement under the new extension. This extension also included a balcony and increased the seating capacity to 200.
In 1960, the church vestry purchased additional land so a kitchen could be added on to the hall. In 1961, St. John's welcomed its first resident rector, Rev. Alvin Hawkes. A church rectory was designed by Rev. Hawkes and built on Summer Street. In 1966, St. John's purchased the land that is now the church parking lot. A number of resident rectors have followed Rev. Hawkes.
After 150 years, St. John's continues to have a presence in Nashwaaksis. The congregation supports Christian efforts locally and around the world. In 2002, the congregation of St. John's voted in favour of building a new church facility. Planning for this next milestone continues.
***NOTE: Since this history was prepared, the new church facility has been built and is in use.

How odd that the election of the new chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) should end in a dead heat between a Southern, "true" conservative who had to admit only just having left a whites-only country club, and a black Republican from Maryland who stood accused of being too moderate.
Kudos to the Republicans for recognizing just in time which way political suicide laid, and turning the other way at the last moment. All the sordid details about Michael Steele's narrow victory over Katon Dawson and the terminally slow drop-outs of all the other candidates in a surprisingly enjoyable Twitter feed from the WaPo's Chris Cillizza.

In the past, you have all heard the talk of how guild hansels earn a lot more plunder.. How you have to try and save up a ridiculous amount of money to upgrade 2/3 of your buildings to SoS to avoid a plunder a drop.. How everyone is just so afraid of converting to SoS!
So.. I have some good news for you. There's nothing to fear!
If you don't already know, the Devs are working towards abolishing plunder wars. Good riddance. So this means you need to stop thinking with a PW state of mind, and start shifting to an EB / Real War mindset.
You no longer have to fear converting your SoSs one by one! The plunder drop is only miniscule when hitting in The Haunting.
If my memory serves me correctly, I made about 24mill an attack.
I hadn't tested how much I made for a single assassination.
31 Lvl 4 guilds, 4 Lvl3 SoS, 1 CoE and 1 Titan.
Here I did notice my plunder drop.. I then only made 22mill an attack.
Although, it is possible that it dropped that much due to me not only destroying 2 guilds for SoSs, but a third for a Titan's Lair.
My reason at the time for this was I noticed that I hardly did any damage to the Apparitions, and I felt bad. So I thought I'd work towards increasing my stats for the benefit of my clan as a whole.
I also tested one assassination, and made 26.7mill reward.
Yesterday, I finally decided I was tired of having low stats.. A few of my allies had sold, so I took this opportunity to upgrade a large amount.
As you can see, this significantly increased my stats. At this point, most of you would probably freak out thinking this would have dropped my plunder by A LOT.
My plunder only dropped by 1.5mill. I went from earning 22mill per attack to 20.5mill (prior to the rewards, of course).
I also re did my single assassination, and still managed to make 26.6mill reward.
In saying all of this, you did see my plunder go down as I converted to SoS.
But the point was to show that the difference was only incredibly small. Especially since in the last upgrade, I did 8 Lvl 3 SoSs all at once.. You'd expect that to be a large jump, but it only affected it by 1.5mill in attack and 1.1mill in an assassination.
With Plunder Wars eliminated, and a new real war system focus, I imagine you'd want as larger stats are possible. As you can see, my plunder only dropped a miniscule amount, but my stats jumped from 680k to over 1mill! I think I'd rather have these stats than the tiny bit of extra money.
Note: These tests were all done against The Haunting.
When I did these conversions, I didn't actually do it with intent to do an official test. It was more of a personal thing and I was just experimenting for myself. So, unfortunately I don't have any screenshots or formulae showing my previous results, so you just have to take my word for it.

I have upgraded again and thought I would add these on.
If you compare this to my initial stats you can see it IS decreasing, but now keep in mind I'm not using a weaker potion with my attack. So I may be making 3.5mill less than before, but I am saving 4.5mill per pot (I also save 9.5mil on my first 4 attacks, because I use an ever cheaper pot).
So really, by looking at "Attacks" only, it may seem like I am making 104mill (3.5mill x 26 hits) Less plunder, but in reality I am making actually making 60mill MORE Plunder!
And as I've said it a bunch of times before, you're also getting some awesome stats!
Awesome stats = More Real War fun!
Reminder: I'm not telling you to copy my choice of attack buildings - That's your own choice. Keep in mind you can also gain strength via allies.. That's what hansels usually do. But you have to remember that Your OWN stats are worth 50x more than your allies (But your strength is weakened as your troops get low). So there are a lot of things to consider when you're deciding on whether to upgrade or buy an ally.
According to this, the plunder dropped when converting a Lvl4 Guild to a Lvl1 SoS (which was expected), and then dropped again when upgraded to Lvl2. But it increased slightly when upgraded to Lvl3, but was still lower than when I had the Lvl4 Guild.
This pattern occurred throughout my upgrading, with my plunder slightly dropping on each conversion from guild to SoS. But I have finally reached the point where my plunder no longer decreases, and is back on the rise!
I have 3 attack buildings instead of the 1 attack build, so this most probably affects the test results. But it shows that the plunder has started to increase. The # of SoSs out of spy buildings I have is 16/34 = 47%, and the # of SoSs out of all buildings was 16/37 = 43%.
Not sure if this number means anything, but that's what my % of SoS to buildings are.
All I have to test now is to see how it has affected my assassinations, item, and reward received from an attack now that my stats have increased. I'll continue to update this each time I get around to upgrading.
So all in all, it is pretty conclusive that the plunder drop is only small when converting from Guilds to SoS, and your plunder does in fact increase after a certain point which was a theory pointed out in past threads.
So the moral of the story is... Get upgrading to SoS! Feel free to follow Vandalise's T4 Hansel guide, but just know that you don't have to save 500b of whatever the ridiculous number was to upgrade a billion buildings in one go.

Great guide! Thanks for doing the footwork!
Answered on the question thread, but will answer here also in case others want to know.
You want to at least buy the first 4 highlands and put guilds on them first, simply because the first 4 lands are still much cheaper than buying an SoS.
The plunder drop isn't as bad as it says. Well, not with EBs anyway. So from that point onwards, feel free to convert to SoSs at your own pace.

Do you find yourself super hungry at 12:00 in the afternoon - but haven't made anything for lunch yet? But, you really want to eat a healthy, satisfying meal. That's how I felt one day. And so this was developed in my kitchen!
Once again, there are no rules to this - pick your favorite veggies. Add your own spices. And get on your way to having a delicious lunch.
First with the avocados. This buttery fruit which is primarily also used like a veggie too is pretty bland by itself - actually I don't find it bland. But my husband does. So, I need to spice it up for him.
And this is what I do to spice it up. Sprinkle with some salt to taste and red chilli powder. Squeeze a few drops of fresh lime juice on top. And let it sit on the counter while you take care of the other prep work.
Now for the fresh corn. Roast it over a medium flame until all sides are done.
Once again spice this up - dip one half of a lemon into a mix of salt and red chilli powder. Then, spread it all over the corn to get the flavors in.
On a side note, I so want to be in chowpatthy beach in Mumbai eating this ..like right now!
Don't know why - but I had to show you this pic. No step here though.
So, here are my ducks in a row. Avocado, Carrots, Zucchini, Corn, Yellow Bell Pepper and Onions.
Cut the corn kernels lengthwise and set aside.
Saute each veggie one at a time in about 1 tsp of oil or less.
When they're all done, mix together well in a bowl.
Lightly warm up the soft tortillas on a tawa.
Here's an extra kick. This is a regular pudina chutney I had at home.
To make the pudina chutney, fry together 1tbsp of channa daal, 1 tsp of urad daal, 2 green chillies, 1 inch ginger piece chopped finely, 1 bunch of fresh mint leaves and also about 3/4 cup of coconut. Then, grind all together well to make a chutney. You can use this for dosas, idlis, upmas, rotis and pretty much anything. Even for chips as a dip!
Apply some of that green stuff onto the warm tortilla.
Add in a couple of spoons of this gorgeous filling.
Make a few of these for the family and get everyone together to sit down for a nice healthy lunch.
I had some baked sweet potato fries at home - so someone added it to the tacos! Its up to you to figure out who that person could be!
whoa !!! That is one yummilicious and healthy meal. I love this kind of things.
Looks yummy! You should try it with celery chutney. Its very good too. I love my dosai, roti and bread sandwich with celery chutney, I guess it will taste good with tortillas too.
lovely and healthy and tempting too.
Thats once Healthy Filling Lunch!!!! Mouth-watering Pics!!!!
wow! that each pic is making me droooooool!!
Great take on a Mexican favourite!!
What a day for Chocoholics!
Cauliflower-Peas Masala Roast - Dosa Variety!
Leftover Quiche base - Impossible dessert!

French foreign policy
The Bamako effect
Will France's intervention in Mali make François Hollande popular at home?
"VIVE la France!" read one home-made placard; "Merci Papa Hollande!" declared another. The spontaneous outpouring of gratitude on the streets of Bamako and Timbuktu, during François Hollande's lightning one-day visit to Mali on February 2nd, was part of a storybook sequence that the unpopular French president could only have dreamed of. It was, he gushed, "the most important day in my political life". Two days later, Joe Biden, the American vice-president, stood beside Mr Hollande in Paris and applauded his "decisiveness" and "the incredible competence and capability" of France's military forces. For a politician whom members of his own party compared variously to a marshmallow, a woodland strawberry and a caramel pudding, this was bliss indeed.
Under the Fifth Republic, a French president is expected to act at once as a kind of monarch (solemnity, distance) and an active executive (decisiveness, authority). This is a tricky mix, and for the right, Charles de Gaulle has long served as the ideal. For the left, it is François Mitterrand, the only other Socialist president. Ever since he decided to run for election, Mr Hollande has become an adept Mitterrand mimic, in gesticulation, pace and tone of voice. Yet it takes more than physical imitation to earn authority. Before France's Mali operation he struggled to overcome a reputation for consensus-seeking and fudge.
Now, the military intervention is prompting a reassessment. The decision to dispatch fighter jets and attack helicopters to blast advancing jihadists was taken quickly and pragmatically. It was bold, with the French enjoying little allied help. "His image has changed" and he has "dispelled doubts about his authority," says Zaki Laïdi at Sciences-Po university.
Might such uncharacteristic boldness abroad translate into the same at home? In some ways, the French decision over Mali was not difficult: Mr Hollande judged that he had no choice. As Jean-Yves Le Drian, the defence minister, put it, "there was a spectacular acceleration" of the jihadists towards Bamako the day before the French strikes began: "if nobody had intervened, Bamako would have fallen two or three days later". Mr Hollande did not have to take on a war-weary or doubting public opinion, or hostile political opposition.
A greater test is whether Mr Hollande is bold enough to take on his own constituencies with domestic reform. He has begun to implement some measures to improve competitiveness, including a softening of labour-market regulation, which does not appeal naturally to the left. Yet these have been offset by crowd-pleasing tax increases on the rich and on companies, and a reluctance to cut public spending. Given that the public sector supplies many of his deputies and voters, upcoming attempts to reform pensions and the civil service will be a better test of his willingness to take risks.
Even less clear is whether a more authoritative image will transform Mr Hollande's poor poll ratings. The link is not automatic. Nicolas Sarkozy, his predecessor, got no ratings jump from the war in Libya. For Mr Hollande, much depends on whether things go horribly wrong in Mali; for the moment, the French have had only one soldier killed. So far the polling evidence is mixed. One recent survey suggested that Mr Hollande's low ratings have barely moved. A poll in Paris-Match, a weekly, showed a six-point jump in his popularity, to 43%—but a mere 37% applauded his economic policy.

The Climate Reality Leadership Corps training event will be in Shenzhen, China and is scheduled for June 15-16. Gore will be joined at the event by a host of scientists, strategists, business leaders, communicators and technical specialists, all of whom will do their level-best to properly indoctrinate Chinese citizens about why so-called man-made global warming is dangerous.
"In April, China, the United States, and 172 other nations signed a historic agreement, demonstrating a bold and unified global commitment to solving the climate crisis," Al Gore said in a press statement on Wednesday.
The former vice president and his crew will focus on China because the country was crucial to making the Paris climate summit agreement in December possible, according to the press release.
President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping announced in 2014 a joint effort to confront global warming. The U.S. promised to cut carbon emissions 26 to 28 percent by 2025, while China would slash its CO2 emissions by 2030.
Obama seemed excited at the prospect of China working with the U.S. to stem the rising tides and stifle global warming.
"Our work together — to increase our trade, boost the global economy, fight climate change and prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon — shows that when the United States and China work together, it makes our nations and the world more prosperous and more secure," Obama told the press after meeting Xi in September.
Yet, some of the luster between the two nations likely dimmed a little after The New York Times reported earlier this year that China was pumping 17 percent more coal a year than initially thought, which was bound to complicate the agreement between the U.S. and China.
Still, Gore and the Climate Change Project remain undaunted – they have, after all, trained thousands of so-called Climate Reality Leaders from more than 130 countries.

Q: Sort multidimensional array by two criterias I have an multidimensional array with these structure:
$futureInvoices[] = Array(
    "date" => date("Y-m-d", $ts),
    "customer" => $possibleDomain->userid,
    "subtotal" => "0.00",
    "total" => "0.00",
);

I just want to sort the entries in the array $futureInvoices by date ascending and then by amount descending. How is that possible?

A: http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-multisort.php
array_multisort
There is a specific example in the docs
<?php
$data[] = array('volume' => 67, 'edition' => 2);
$data[] = array('volume' => 86, 'edition' => 1);
$data[] = array('volume' => 85, 'edition' => 6);
$data[] = array('volume' => 98, 'edition' => 2);
$data[] = array('volume' => 86, 'edition' => 6);
$data[] = array('volume' => 67, 'edition' => 7);
?>
In this example, we will order by volume descending, edition ascending.

We have an array of rows, but array_multisort() requires an array of columns, so we use the below code to obtain the columns, then perform the sorting.

<?php
// Obtain a list of columns
foreach ($data as $key => $row) {
    $volume[$key]  = $row['volume'];
    $edition[$key] = $row['edition'];
}

// Sort the data with volume descending, edition ascending
// Add $data as the last parameter, to sort by the common key
array_multisort($volume, SORT_DESC, $edition, SORT_ASC, $data);
?>

in your case the loop will be extracting the values of date and total. Then the call to the function will be identical

"What should I eat before a workout?" This is one of the most frequent questions I get asked as a nutrition major. Majoring in nutrition with an interest in sports is extremely fascinating to me!. There's always new research going on in this field with an emphasis on properly fueling up before and after a workout.
I am particularly around a lot of college athletes as I play club ultimate frisbee at Virginia Tech. So, the topic of what's "best" to eat before a lift, tournament, practice etc. is something that comes up fairly often. Through college, I've tried to learn the "best" ways to eat for different types of workouts. However, I know different things sometimes work for different people. But, there are general "ways" to eat that are tried and true for many athletes.
1. Light Workouts – Jogs, yoga, ect.
A light workout is still a workout! And fueling for it is still important! Eating a snack that's a pairing of carbs and protein 30-45 minutes before your workout will help you maintain energy for your workout. Snack ideas include apple slices with peanut butter, yogurt with granola, or cheese and crackers. Carbs are important for energy, and protein stores are important for your body's healing.
What to avoid: you don't need to eat a heavy carb load for lighter workouts. Eating a large, complex carb heavy meal close to a lighter workout can cause stomach pain and bloating during exercise. You also don't need any specific post workout protein/carb meal or snack for a light workout if you're eating regular meals. But, if you're feeling fatigued or hungry, absolutely grab a snack.
Carb loading is something that most athletes are aware of. You don't want your energy (i.e. blood sugar) to drop in the middle of a big athletic event or competition. So, you build up your carbohydrate (the body's preferred form of energy, broken down to maintain blood sugar) stores.
What most people don't know is that it's more beneficial to start carb loading a few days in advance rather than the night before. This helps build glycogen stores up. These stores are pockets of glucose next to your muscle fibers. They provide energy for muscle movement and contraction after you burn through your immediate energy stores. A few days out from a long distance race or tournament, start incorporating more carb dense foods such as pasta, rice, tortillas, bread, etc. to increase your carb intake.
Salty snacking! If you're sensing a theme of snacking with heavy cardio nutrition, you would be right. If you're running for several hours, you're sweating for several hours! This means your body is losing water and salt, so make sure to hydrate. This can mess with your body's electrolyte balance and energy levels. Snacks like pickles, sports drinks, or a few salted almonds can help replenish the salt you sweat out.
Recovery foods! A mix of complex carbohydrates and protein (and some fat!) in a snack or a meal is the best combination for your body's recovery process. Ideally you should eat a meal within 2 hours of completing your event. In addition, antioxidants are very beneficial for recovery. Antioxidants, which are in most fruit and veggies, but especially darker fruits (cranberries, cherries, blueberries, and pomegranate), help reduce muscle inflammation and help your body heal quickly. Sports dietitians will often give athletes cherry or pomegranate juice to help with soreness.
Maintaining proper carbohydrate stores to last you through the bursts of energy you expend with interval training is important. Eating a meal with complex carbs within a few hours of your interval workout is ideal- whole grain pasta, a sandwich on whole grain bread, ect. This helps "fill your gas tank" with energy reserves to help you push through the stop and go training. Also, eat a snack that's more "simple carb" based within an hour of working out to give you an extra boost of energy. A granola bar, or peanut butter with a banana would work well.
Eating a protein/carb dense snack within half an hour of finishing a workout is ideal for your body's recovery. You may be sensing a theme here of "protein and carb mix after most workouts", but it's so true that that's what your body needs to recover most effectively. Eating at least something within half an hour of working out is key because your body starts to repair itself from the stress of being active. Having the proper nutrients available makes it easier for your body to do its job.
Lifting nutrition is a little different than cardio focused nutrition. While you still need a mix of protein and carbs for pre and post workout meals (and fat!) your body needs you to take in well-balanced meals and snacks to be most productive with your workouts and workout recovery!), the ratio is a little different. You don't need to build your carb stores quite as much and you need a little extra protein. Eat a snack within an hour of working out, but don't focus as much carbs as you do before a run or sprint workout.
Protein is key for recovery after a lift. Not that it's not key for a post cardio workout, but protein is most important for repairing all the little muscle tears that occurs when you lift. Eat protein within half an hour of finishing your lift for the best recovery. Nuts, hard boiled eggs,turkey roll ups, or protein bars are some snack ideas.
The takeaway from all this advice is it helps your body so much if you nourish it for a workout. Yes, there are differences in the nutrition based on type of activity. A distance runner has different needs than someone who mostly strength trains. Overall, a few factors are constant. Drink a lot of water, and eat plenty of meals and snacks that are balanced in fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Eating before and after your workout helps maintain energy and help your body function best!

Our review of Sorenson Squeeze 8 is similar to our previous review of Squeeze 7 and much of what we wrote still applies to Squeeze 8. The latest rev of Sorenson Squeeze looks and feels the same and is an evolution of the professional compression suite with robust support for the most widely used codecs for broadcast, web and mobile platforms as well as physical media. We'll focus on the new features versus the nuts and bults which you can read in our previous review.
There are a few new items in Squeeze 8. Sorenson says the H.264 CUDA GPU acceleration has been improved but we didn't notice any real speed difference in our tests. Squeeze 8 also offers the new x264 open source coded variation of the H.264 codec but we encountered some problems running it when doing batch renders. We're working with Sorenson's technical support to try and solve the problem. We mostly encountered errors when encoding to 1080p with the built in YouTube presets using the x264 codec. No other codecs gave us problems.
Other new features include new PC adaptive bit-rate formats to complement the Apple presets and direct publishing to YouTube including the ability to set privacy options, keywords, categories, and comment options. This offers some convenience but YouTube now makes it easy to upload multiple files and since it's own backend will do the encoding in the cloud you only need 1 HiRes master to upload per video.
In spite of a few hiccups Squeeze 8 still has the same elegant design with a simple workflow that produces excellent results. Import the source files, pick the codecs, FTP sites, do your tweaks and let it work.
Our test system this time around was a Supermicro 12 core workstation with a Quadro 2000. We were able to run renders with and without CUDA acceleration. You can check out a batch of renders in some common formats here. Since we didn't notice much a difference in speed using the GPU we tended to simply encode using the CPU only. This approach also aleviated any concerns we had about the quality of the GPU acceleration being as good as the multipass encodes using the CPU only. GPU only allows 2 pass encoding while CPU only allows 4 passes.
New output formats can be added on the fly to a job in progress as well. That's been a handy feature we use quite a bit. On a tight schedule we may get a request to have multiple copies of the same video in various formats for the approval process. We might stage the videos on YouTube in a high res H.264 while simultaneously having the legal team review a low quality WMV that's email friendly and the web team prepage Web M versions for the new HTML corporate web site. Squeeze 8 makes this type of workflow easy, especially when it's multiple videos and FTP sites involved. Render and upload time is always a good time to grab some food versus babysitting a computer.
We're not sure Squeeze 8 offers enough to make the move from Squeeze 7, however if you're new to programs like Squeeze or simply out of date, Squeeze 8 certainly is one of the best solutions in multiformat encoding and distribution management.

Eagles host conference
On Feb. 6, 1898, six of Seattle's most prominent theater owners gathered to discuss how to handle an ongoing musicians' strike. According to most popular accounts, after deciding to work together to settle the strike by using piano players to replace the musicians, the men began to discuss life. At that moment, the Order of Good Things was born.
As their numbers grew, the Order chose the bald eagle as their official emblem and changed the name of the organization to The Fraternal Order of Eagles with their goal to "make human life more desirable by lessening its ills and promoting peace, prosperity, gladness and hope." The organization is still alive.
The New Boston Aerie and Auxiliary 2271 will host the Fraternal Order of Eagles Central Zone Spring Conference, April 7, 8 and 9 at 3200 Rhodes Ave., in New Boston. The Eagles is a fraternal organization.
Bill Hanley, secretary for 2271, said he has reserved rooms at several hotels in the region. He said shuttles will be provided and will run Friday from 4:30 p.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m..
Entertainment will include a karaoke contest Friday at 8 p.m. with $50 going to the winner. Saturday from 8:30 p.m. until closing, the band "The Return" will perform
One of the highlights of the three day event is a student competition at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 8.
"The students, 10-15 will present a three minute essay and give a three minute talk – what God, flag and country means to them," Hanley said. "They do it at the local level, they're chosen from schools, then the district level and the zone level, state level and then an international level. It has been an Eagles tradition since 1967 when they started it."
Hanley said he read the speeches given by the finalist students in Reno, Nevada last year. He said students can get involved through their individual schools.
"These are good," Hanley said. "These are great speeches. They won $1,000 apiece in their (individual) categories."
The International meeting will be held this year in Ann Arbor, Michigan in July.
"The Eagles began in 1898 and were instrumental in the Social Security Act. They were instrumental in Mother's Day, and they spent $25 million for the Diabetes Center in Iowa," Hanley said. "They do a lot."

Welcome to all those of you visiting from our feature on Apartment Therapy! Such an honor to have you here today!
Thank you for following along with us as we tackled our fireplace makeover!
It has truly been a labor of love that has changed my whole opinion about this space!
So, it wouldn't do much good to show you an after without taking a trip down memory lane, now would it?
Dark walls, dark trim and a big boxy dark fireplace with orange tile. Not exactly our style.
and tiling the hearth and surround.
After adding some trim, grout and paint, we had a brand new fireplace!
The whole wall just feels lighter!
I'm still experimenting with how to style the mantel. It's soooo deep and all those windows!? Right now its holding the blue mason jar collection from in the kitchen because we took down the weird shelf thingy that was holding them.
Ignore that, and again lets admire the beautiful fireplace transformation!
Here's a quick image I put together so you can compare the before and after - feel free to pin it!
Cedar Boards - FREE Cement Board - $12* Nails - $5* *our cost was actually only $3 thanks to some returns 2 -1x4s - $8 2 1x6s - $10 Tile - $10 Tiling supplies - already had Bright White Non- Sanded Grout - $13 Paint- already had Caulking - already had = $44!
This whole makeover project shows that if you are willing to get creative, you can totally change the look of a space without a huge budget. Sometimes this means you can't follow whatever the latest design trends are, but they are just that, trends. Sticking to a classic design can still feel fresh and it definitely doesn't have to be boring! My advice to you is: if you want to tackle something like this...JUST GO FOR IT!

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks to members of the media after leaving a closed door meeting about Saudi Arabia, Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2018, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
Lawmakers have tried for years to end U.S. involvement in Yemen. They just passed a big procedural hurdle, thanks to an empty chair at a Senate briefing.
An urgent entreaty from two of President Trump's top cabinet members to lawmakers weighing ending U.S. support for the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in Yemen has backfired, sparking a symbolic victory for critics of the policy and revealing a growing discomfort with the Trump administration's embrace of Riyadh.
On Wednesday morning, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave a classified briefing to senators. They warned that if the U.S."disengages" from the conflict in Yemen, it could damage fragile peace negotiations "by breathing new life into the Houthis' combat operations, just when they are reluctantly engaging with the U.N. interlocutor," Mattis said.
But senators from both parties emerged from the briefing unpersuaded. Immediately following the briefing, several lawmakers who had opposed a previous measure to curtail U.S. involvement announced that they would now support a similar measure. And four hours after the briefing ended, the Senate voted, 63-37, to formally open debate on a War Powers resolution on the U.S. involvement in Yemen. The measure would give the administration 30 days to end its military involvement, yet allow counterterror operations against al Qaeda to continue. It was a dramatic reversal of a similar vote held in March that failed, 55-44.
Members of both parties expressed frustration that CIA Director Gina Haspel had not come to brief them on the agency's assessment of the Saudi crown prince's involvement in the murder of the Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Some lawmakers told reporters that Haspel was blocked from appearing by the White House; National Security Advisor John Bolton has denied this.
Related: Defense One Radio Ep. 19: Yemen, Idlib and the future of Syria's Kurds, RISK, and more.
"I changed my mind, because I'm pissed," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. Graham supports cutting U.S. support in the campaign but opposes the use of the War Powers Act to do so, and had been expected to vote against advancing the measure.
But the policy implications of Wednesday's vote—the first procedural hurdle for the legislation—are difficult to judge. A War Powers resolution on Yemen is a nonstarter in the House in the waning days of this Congress, although a Democratic House could revive the issue in 2019.
Meanwhile, several powerful Republican senators who supported the procedural vote have signaled that they will seek to amend the underlying legislation during debate. Graham told Defense One that he would work to substitute his own legislation for the War Powers resolution on the floor; Graham's bill, which also has Democratic co-sponsors, would suspend arms sales to Saudi Arabia and impose sanctions on those responsible for the Khashoggi murder, among other things.
At issue is not an appetite to curtail assistance or hold Saudi Arabia accountable for the Khashoggi murder, but rather the use of the War Powers Act of 1973 to do so. Critics of the resolution argue that the kind of military support being provided to Saudi Arabia—including intelligence, targeting assistance and, until recently, aerial refueling—does not meet the legal threshold that would require the administration to seek a war authorization from Congress.
That's how Graham sees it — as does the Trump administration.
Behind closed doors, Mattis and Pompeo warned lawmakers that withholding support would damage the nascent diplomatic negotiations led by UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths, and could even increase civilian casualties by depriving Saudi Arabia of U.S. targeting expertise.
"Our military efforts are in accordance with the War Powers Resolution's provision that U.S. forces do not 'command, coordinate, participate in the movement of, or accompany regular or irregular military forces of any foreign country or government when such military forces are engaged, or there exists an imminent threat that such forces will become engaged, in hostilities,'" he said.
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., one of the authors of the legislation, dismissed the notion that the United States is not engaged in hostilities in Yemen.
Murphy also dismissed the notion that defining U.S. activities in Yemen as "hostilities" under the War Powers Act would create a de facto principle that could improperly constrain the president's authority in other partnered operations.
No matter its fate, the procedural vote on Wednesday was historic. Critics of military support to the Kingdom have for years sought to get legislation to the floor to curtail American involvement in the Yemen conflict. Republican leadership in the House shot down a similar effort just weeks ago.
But the international firestorm over the grisly killing helped stoke simmering frustration with mounting civilian deaths in Yemen's civil war. In August, a U.S.-purchased bomb dropped by the Saudi coalition killed 40 school children on a bus; in the end, it was Haspel's failure to appear that seemed to shift the political winds.

Fratres: Arvo Pärt, Gia Kantšeli, Andres Mustonen
On Saturday 5th October, I was privileged to be invited to the Arvo Pärt Centre in Laulasmaa (Song- land), Estonia for an extraordinary and memorable concert of new, 20th-century and early music.
The Arvo Pärt Centre
The concert was dedicated to the memory of a good friend of Pärt, composer Gia Kantšeli, born in Georgia in 1935, who died few days ago on 2nd October. It was given by Andres Mustonen's legendary ensemble, Hortus Musicus, and featured compositions by Pärt and Kantšeli, as well as by Hortus Musicus singer Tõnis Kaumann.
Kantšeli's Helesa (2005) and Valentin Silvestrov's Three pieces for violin and piano were written in memory of the ensemble-director's wife, Helle Mustonen: 2nd October was the anniversary of her birthday. Early Music was represented by the anonymous c1300 Missa Tournai and two pieces by Monteverdi; two newly composed pieces were added to the program to commemorate Kantšeli: Kaumann's In paradisum and Erkki-Sven Tüür's Kirjutamata kiri (Unwritten letter).
Under the appropriate title of Fratres (Brothers) – the title also of Pärt's 1977 composition for Hortus Musicus – the concert thus celebrated a brotherhood (including one soprano!) of composers and performers of our times and of the past, whose work has been closely intertwined since the 1970s.
The mood is set already as you arrive at the Centre, located amidst pine-woods on a long peninsular surrounded by the Baltic Sea. The car-park is deliberately somewhat distant, so that the final approach is by a forest footpath, with the sounds and scents of the forest surrounded by deep silence. And as Estonians love to build towers from which to survey their land- and sea-scapes, so the Centre features a tall tower, as well as a tiny Orthodox chapel, with three bells installed close by in one of several inner courtyards.
The ambience is almost that of a medieval monastery, with a library, chapel and never-ending music all in close proximity to the simple beauty of nature.
Prominently displayed within the main building are photographs of this concert's and other 'Brothers', including my old friends the Hilliard Ensemble, whose then director, Paul Hillier was a champion for Pärt's work in the West. Paul subsequently wrote a biography of Pärt, and was for many years director of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir.
It was at the Hilliard Ensemble's summer school in the 1980s, in Paul's home-town of Lewes, that I met Arvo, and had the unforgettable experience of playing piano-duet with him whilst the students rehearsed under Paul's direction.
Another 'Brother' has his photo displayed at the Centre, in conversation with Pärt. This is Manfred Eicher, whose ECM record-label brought Arvo's music to millions of listeners around the world.
Also on display are painted flowerpots. In 1974, as Pärt was searching for inspiration, for a way out of the artistic block that he felt modernist music had reached, another 'Brother', icon-painter and creative psychologist Viktor Krivorotov suggested that the composer might experiment "with different types of art – precisely the ones you do not know or command. You just have to have the courage to do poorly and fail, and even have a certain impudence…". So his wife, Nora Pärt relates here.
So Nora and Arvo ended up decorating hundreds of flowerpots, and – somehow – this simple handicraft opened the way to his famous tintinnabuli composing technique, his distinctive sound and his unique ability to touch the listener's emotions. More on tintinnabuli here.
The Centre's concert-hall is simply built in wood, with an intimate atmosphere and warm acoustic that favours performers positioned at the front of the stage. It was packed to (at least) its 140-seat capacity for this special event, and such was the interest in this concert that an extra performance was arranged for the following day, also sold out. Saturday's audience listened with great attention, with pieces received in profoundly appreciative silence, or with happy applause, depending on the mood of the moment. Arvo himself sat, listening intently, in the midst of the public, which included at least one member of the Estonian ensemble, Vox Clamantis, who have also had a close association with his work.
In the Cold War years, Andres Mustonen's work behind the iron curtain with Hortus Musicus paralleled to a certain extent Jordi Savall's with Hesperion XX in the West. Both are charismatic personalities, passionate performers and extraordinary soloists on bowed strings. Both lead close-knit ensembles of musicians who accept their highly idiosyncratic working styles and understand their highly individual approaches to music-making. To this day, both prefer to trust their personal intuition, honed in the hot-house atmosphere of the 1970s, over later developments in historical musicology and period performance practice. Both were married to sopranos who became artistic partners, but who died early: Jordi's first wife, Montserrat Figueras, died in 2011.
Both favour an approach to early music characterised by kaleidoscopic changes of tone-colour and generous use of percussion. Both can happily combine medieval shawm, renaissance viol, baroque trombone, modern double-bass and Armenian duduk in the same piece of medieval polyphony or Jewish traditional music.
But until this weekend, I was unaware of the significance of Mustonen's work in contemporary music, and of the close collaboration between Arvo Pärt and Hortus Musicus. Having first encountered Pärt's music in the exquisitely controlled ensemble and cool timbres of Rogers Covey-Crump and John Potter's tenor voices, and the sustained intensity of David James' counter-tenor, it was a revelation for me to hear the same music in the rich, warm, vibrant colours of the Hortus Musicus instruments, and with rapid changes of instrumentation from phrase to phrase.
The performances of medeival and early baroque music supplied the key to this puzzle. The medieval Tournai Kyrie & Gloria (marvellously paired here with Kaumann's Credo, written as a companion piece), which the Hilliards and other performers informed by recent scholarship would perform with 3 voices a capella, was here presented in glorious technicolour, a thrilling experience which channelled Carl Orff to powerful emotional effect. In this context, Hortus Musicus' approach to Pärt's Arbos (1977), with its strictly mathematical structure reminiscent of Dufay's iso-rhythmic motets, showed the close connection between composers ancient and modern and between the Estonian composer and ensemble.
In 1977, Arvo's tintinnabuli-style, influenced by Gregorian Chant and early polyphony, and the nascent Early Music movement were united in their opposition to the dominant (and in Estonia, Soviet-imposed) mainstream of modernist composition and post-romantic performance. Pärt and Mustonen formed a close collaboration, with many pieces written for Hortus Musicus.
A decade later in the West, Early Music had itself become part of the musical establishment. So when Savall and Figueras founded La Capella Reial de Catalunya in 1987 they chose 'mediterranean voices' in reaction against the dominance of English and German singers.
In Estonia on Saturday, Mustonen was also a persuasive ambassador for Silvestrov's 'metaphorical' or 'metamusical' style. The opening phrases, which could almost have been 1930s salon-music, were delivered – incongruously – with the straight tone and unweighted bow-strokes that one might associate with baroque violin, and in impeccably accurate tuning; in the next, the piano (which both accompanied and often doubled the violin) ladled out great dollops of romantic harmony; and then in the next phrase, as the composition returned to restraint, the violin sound warmed up and vibrato increased; later, the bow moved with all the robust accentuation of modern virtuoso violin-playing. In these short pieces, the ever-changing sonic collage and the episodic structure of the composition were equally fragmentary, presented as a sequence of non-sequiturs in thought-provoking disconnects.
And in a program full of artistic and deeply personal connections, when in the last bars of Kantšeli's piece for the death of Helle Mustonen, Andres' violin was left all alone… I have no words to express the poignancy of this moment.
Andres Mustonen in 1984
As a Monteverdi specialist (I have reconstructed the lost Arianna and I'm directing two productions of Orfeo this month, one reflecting the latest HIP scholarship, the other with a staging set in 1970s Moscow!), I was fascinated to hear Mustonen's approach to the early baroque. In these pieces, as throughout the program, tenor Anto Õnnis was superb, with sweet tone, precise diction, accurate intonation, thrilling high notes, impressive breath-control and a clear gaze direct towards the audience.
Although Mustonen's program-note emphasised that he was not reconstructing his original performances of Pärt, his Monteverdi struck me as authentically 1970s. That is, in all honesty, an observation, not a criticism. And it started me thinking about the differences between Mustonen's first performances of Pärt, and those performances by the Hilliards a decade or so later, which I grew up with. And about current performances by Vox Clamantis, an Estonian ensemble founded in 1996.
Even for a living composer with such a distinctive 'voice', we are offered widely differing sound-worlds for Pärt, all plausibly 'authentic': the rich variety of Hortus Musicus and the restrained minimalism of the Hillard Ensemble; Estonians in the 1970s and 1990s, and English singers in the 1980s. Meanwhile, both Hortus Musicus and Vox Clamantis, as well as Paul Hillier continue to present their authoritative, but very different versions of Pärt's compositions all around the world today.
We might equally well question what is the 'authentic' sound of Monteverdi: the richly orchestrated ensembles of Mantuan Orfeo in 1610 or the restrained instrumental palate but intense drama of Venetian Poppea in 1643?
For certain, we should be aware of, and celebrate such differences. And we should respect each performer's commitment to the composer's creation, as well as to their own vision of it. In his program-note for this concert, Mustonen boldly proclaims his passion for Early Music and for Arvo's compositions:
This is music that can save the world
The day had begun for me with a private performance of a new song – simple, but deeply moving – by another Estonian composer. The concert ended with Pärt's Da Pacem, written for Jordi Savall and Hesperion XXI in 2004: I played in the first recording.
And, perhaps appropriately, (for the Estonian word part, as pronounced by an English or Spanish speaker without ä, means 'duck') we finished off the evening with a fine dinner of Duck in Honey, Thai-style, but cooked from authentically Estonian ingredients!

Here's a breather. In case you felt like as though you're suffocating from the onslaught of Bangkok posts.
Back in 2009, we stopped by this comparatively spacious 'shack' on Old Klang Road; right beside the overhead NPE due to the extremely (no kidding) admirable turnout of a dinner crowd. I daresay; hundreds of them and more standing around waiting like vultures for an empty table. This place is named Ah Wang Bak Kut Teh; but albeit the immense popularity, their signature dish is actually the steamed fish head in three options of sauces. The experience was good, and we returned for another visit two days apart.
And then, I completely dropped the urge to write about it. Complacent, or maybe procrastination. And the fact that they're already swarmed/overwhelmed by the ridiculous number of hungry patrons, it's not even funny.
Notice the plump guy in white T-shirt seated and calmly orchestrating the whole ordeal? He's the BOSS. Presumably, since he's the one barking orders and coordinating everything from the comfort of his seat. Fatty Bak Kut Teh. Hmm, I see some relevance.
Pardon me as I'm in a rather perplexed state now. Losing one's voice isn't something to be proud of, yet I can't help but felt the guilt creeping in without going scavenging for food and bringing the already cob-webbed gear (my D7000) along. Here's a brief piece on Fatty Bak Kut Teh on Old Klang Road …..
And so, instead of going back to Ah Wang (which was predictably packed this evening), we ventured over to Fatty Bak Kut Teh & Fish Head further up Old Klang Road; passing Scott's Garden and towards Midvalley's direction. About 200 metres apart, and you can see the crowd spilling over to the streets happily lapping up their servings of claypot bak kut teh and steaming hot fish heads steamed in a variety of manners.
Yet, the flesh reeked of a mild 'muddy/earthy' taste (an attribute of some freshwater fishes), and this took a few points off the record book. The sauce can be a tad salty if sipped like it is, so it's best to complement the fish with, or poured atop your rice instead of scooping spoonfuls of the soy sauce-based broth.
The portion can be daunting; the fish head arriving in a serving enough to be shared by at least 4 pax. And we specifically requested for the SMALLEST possible. Since there were only 3 of us, and we wanted to try their other dishes. So, be warned.
They open from 6pm until 5am. Yes, the twilight hours! A good place to sober up after the mindless binge-drinking over at Scott's Garden? Fair enough.
For me, Bak Kut Teh from Klang's still the best, with good options in PJ including Ah Sang in Sungei Way, and Puchong's Yap Chuan (for the dry BKT). Jalan Ipoh's got a lot of options too, yet the one beside Dynasty Hotel left a terrible impression on my mind.
Directions : Coming from NPE/Puchong's direction towards KL city or Midvalley, you will pass by the turning to Jalan Kuchai Lama on your RIGHT. Then as you go under the NPE overhead pass, you will see Scott's Garden (TESCO) on your LEFT. Fatty Gan is almost immediately after Scott's Garden on the LEFT. Same row as AmBank on Old Klang Road.
Agree with you about Ban Lee Bak Kut Teh. There are not the same since they expanded and now caters for out-towners from the hotel next door. Give Sin Kee Klang Bak Kut Teh a go in Jalan Gombak if you have not done so already.
p/s Bak Kut Teh in Old Klang Road is also no longer the same since the road was widen.
Ah, a kindred spirit. I share the same love of bak kut teh as you do, and have in fact tried all the other BKT places listed in your blog – except Fatty here! I'm going to try that this evening!
Not so good experience though… do share yours. I still prefer the ones in Klang.


For me to say there is an overwhelming pressure for women to achieve certain things by a certain age is absolutely nothing new.
Over the past couple of years or so, the idea that life is slipping through my fingertips has been lurking somewhere between the forefront and the abyss in my mind. I'm twenty-six years old, still living at home – I don't have a massive savings account, a car, a mortgage, children or a ring on my finger. These plans are scattered across the future and I'm not fretting about their certainty, but all the same, I'm not getting any younger. So are these things I should be actively thinking about? Do I need a five-year plan? Do our choices affect how we should be seen to the outside world? Does age affect our worth?
The answer to all of the above is obviously a firm 'no', but societal pressures remain. Skincare brand SK-II opens up the discussion of age-related pressure in its recent video campaign, The Expiry Date. According to a recent survey conducted by SK-II, 27 was deemed the 'prime age' for women. In China, unmarried females are often labelled "sheng nu", or "leftover women". Extreme pressure is put onto women by their families to get married before turning 27 in order to avoid such judgement.
From a young age, I guessed I'd have my whole life figured out by the age I am right now. I'd have gone to university, had a solid career, been married with a house and kids: the whole shebang. That was naïve, of course, but I think this 'idealism' has a lot to do with society's perception of normal, with added layers of pressure from the Millennial mindset and social media, where everyone seems to have it all figured out. At times it feels like everyone around me is getting engaged, married, having babies; these are not things at the top of my list of priorities, but thinking back to these pressures, I almost wonder if they should be?
It's up to us as individuals to determine our own fate. The very idea of an 'expiry date' is nothing but derogatory and counter-productive in a time where the wave of feminism is stronger than ever (albeit with a long, long way to go). Age is just a number, and we owe it to ourselves to push the boundaries and fight for our desired paths – whatever they may be.
I'd love to open up the discussion with you guys, so please feel free to leave a comment below!


Who Made Audrey Hepburn Feel Beautiful?
A portrait is more than capturing the likeness of someone at a specific time in a specific place. A real portrait tells us something about the person looking back in a subtle but powerful way.
When you look past the glamorous setting, elaborate clothes and makeup, it's something in their eyes, in their posture, something is captured in that moment that resonates through the photograph to us, the viewer. We, as the viewers, find ourselves connecting with someone who isn't actually there, someone who might have lived fifty or a hundred years ago. It's quite the surreal experience.
One that not every photographer can capture. Certainly not one that we you can capture through your iPhone to post on Instagram. It's a talent. A type of magical spell that world renowned and iconic photographer Cecil Beaton can cast on his sitter and viewers, all with the click of his camera. Some of you may not be familiar with his name, but whether you know it or not, you're definitely familiar with his photographs.
The images that the British born photographer has captured across six decades of a prolific career have influenced generations of fashion and celebrity photographers. Beaton has photographed some of the world's most iconic stars of the stage and screen, royalty, artists and society's most glamorous and influential characters, including Queen Elizabeth, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Audrey Hepburn and Andy Warhol.
His timeless portraits are often the images our mind conjures up when we recall some of these iconic public figures. And now you can see them for yourself. Sotheby's Dubai in DIFC is, for the first time ever in the Middle East, presenting an exhibition of Beaton's work, till May 27. Curated by Terence Pepper, Curator of Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery, London and Joanna Ling, Head of the Cecil Beaton Studio Archive, Sotheby's, the exhibition will present over 60 portraits of Beaton's most celebrated works, spanning six decades. Trust us when we say that this is an exhibition not to miss.
The photographs are arresting, captivating and simply beautiful. To celebrate Sotheby's exhibition of Beaton, we've complied some of our favourite celebrity photographs by the man himself and added his words from his infamous diaries on his experiences with these iconic personalities. Beaton Facts: Not only was Beaton undoubtedly the most significant British-born photographer of the 20th century, he was also an award winning set and costume designer for film and theatre, wrote numerous books, kept a capacious diary and travelled the world. In the course of his long career, Beaton photographed virtually every prominent person in public life - everyone from the Queen to the Rolling Stones.
In many of his portraits, Beaton included himself somehow. Either through a reflection in the background or a strategically placed mirror, you can see the photographer holding his camera somewhere. Beaton won Tony Awards for his costume work as a designer for My Fair Lady (1957) and Coco (1970), and nabbed Oscars for Gigi (1958) and the big screen adaptation of My Fair Lady (1964) for costume and set designs. In the beginning of the 1960s, Beaton released a series of diaries that documented his relationships with royalty and celebrities over previous decades. These series of diaries are still popular today. Beaton was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1972.


The 'eagerly' awaited US inflation and retail sales data came out earlier today. An upside shock in these could have further uneased the both bond and equity markets, still teetering in the 'fear zone' with the VIX remaining above the 20 level. Whilst a tempered or only slightly stronger-than-expected reading would be enough to convince markets that the Federal Reserve would move ahead with tightening monetary policy at a faster pace than 2017, but without encouraging an inflation scare. US Treasuries ahead of the data release held steady with the 10-years trading around yields of 2.82% and the 30-years around 3.11% both ~7bp off their recent highs.
With a holiday filled week ahead, it seems the most exciting bit of news this week will be from the Federal Reserve meeting which ends tomorrow. Although nothing is expected to change in terms of rates, with the futures market currently pricing in less than a 15% chance of a hike, it will be interesting to hear what the committee says in terms of future guidance; especially following a particularly weak set of data releases.
US economic data points including personal income and personal spending and the Fed's favored inflation reading, the PCE core were released below expectations; PCE was 1.6%yoy in March, from 2.1%yoy in Feb and well below the 2% target.
With high expectations for the BoJ to ease further after the recent strong rally of the yen and weak core inflation readings, the central bank left its three key easing tools unchanged catching some investors off guard. The central bank's inaction did little to help the continued strength of the yen which breached the ¥108 level today (in London trading hours), soaring ~3% against the dollar.
Assessing the economic impact for a leap year is a question that still seems to be unanswered. In the UK the National Statistics Office adjusts GDP so that February is considered 28 and a quarter days long every year therefore avoiding any problems. In the States there is another problem with the leap year, the presidential election, with halls filled with voters and billions of dollars spent on getting to the winning line the Federal Reserve has to think carefully of any disturbances due to the various campaigns.
The employment data continues to be one of the stronger data points on the US economy. Today's non-farm payroll figure showed the US economy added 292,000 new jobs in December which was well ahead of market expectations of +200,000 jobs. The two month net revision of +50,000 jobs was also strong.
Today's the day that could potentially see the first interest rate hike in the US in almost a decade with the announcement from the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) policy decision meeting this evening, at 19:00 GMT.
Although US data releases continue to paint a mixed picture, the US economy is starting to look increasingly strong and importantly, more stable. However, the Fed's "dual mandate", which weighs up price stability and maximum employment in conducting monetary policy, is being skewed by subdued inflation, while job creation has been strong; unemployment tumbled to an "equilibrium" level of 5.1% in July while PCE (the Fed's prefered inflation measure) rose by only 0.3%, remaining well below the Fed's 2% target. Yesterday's CPI release for August has done little to boost confidence posting the weakest reading so far this year.

I updated to the latest version of the plugin and also followed the instructions for the database.
Now my custom fields have disappeared from both old and 'New posts' in the 'Admin' back-end.
The fields are also no longer listed under screen options.
Same here. I have custom code relying on that meta-box and I don't see any settings to re-enable it.
I am having the same issue. Is there a fix to this or is there a way to go back to the old plugin?
The file will be overwritten in the next release, but hopefully the issue will be fixed by then.
I'm experiencing this issue now as well – will they be providing a fix?
guys I resolved my issue by downloading the latest ACF addon plugins FROM THE WEBSITE.
They do not update on their own.
The Custom Fields were still there except not visible and the solution suggested by ACF support worked for me.
The support team told me that ACF now removes the default WP custom fields metabox in an attempt to speed up the load times of the post edit page.
You can do the addition either via the website itself or CPanel. I preferred the latter in case I made an error and did a backup first.
This reply was modified 6 months, 3 weeks ago by vshukla.
It looks the same, but the quotes will work better.
BTW, they've issued an update today.
we had this problem too. thanks for the workaround. my suggestion for the plugin would be to make disabling core wp features a plugin setting option that is not enabled by default.
This reply was modified 6 months, 3 weeks ago by tmuka.
same here i had a custom field and was required for a plugin to work and is now disappeared!!! i did everything db restore,files restore, server rewind but nothing. Did you find how to restore those deleted fields back ?
This reply was modified 6 months, 3 weeks ago by csandreas1.
Also make sure you're adding it to the right theme directory.
I upgraded to the latest version of Advanced Custom Fields and all the photos on my blog home page disappeared. I am holding with the previous version for now. Is there a fix in the works?
Nothing listed here worked for me (adding the filter, changing the base code, etc). All images have disappeared from the site as @gdtharalson has described. No acf fields can be edited. I can get the images to show up by changing the (incorrect) string returned by the get_field function to an integer, and using wordpress native functions to derive my image sources, but I still can't edit any posts. Very glad for any advice. Thanks.
This reply was modified 6 months, 2 weeks ago by jschindler.
I rolled back to version 4.4.9 and my fields have returned.
@jschindler Yep switching to version 4.4.9 using wp-rollback plugin solved my problem as well.


A Java representation of a void pointer.
Returns a ByteBuffer that corresponds to the specified segment of the memory that this pointer points to.
NOTE: This method does not take into account the position and array offset of the given buffer.
Creates a new Pointer to the given values.
Creates a new Pointer to the given Pointers.
Creates a new Pointer to the given buffer.
Creates a new Pointer to the given values. The values may not be null.
NOTE: This method does not take into account the position and array offset of the given buffer. In order to create a pointer that takes the position and array offset into account, use the toBuffer(Buffer) method.
If the given buffer has a backing array, then the returned pointer will in any case point to the start of the array, even if the buffer has been created using the slice method (like ByteBuffer.slice()). If the buffer is direct, then this method will return a Pointer to the address of the direct buffer. If the buffer has been created using the slice method, then this will be the actual start of the slice. Although this implies a different treatment of direct- and non direct buffers, the method is kept for backward compatibility.
In both cases, for direct and array-based buffers, this method does not take into account the position of the given buffer.
Note that this method takes into account the array offset and position of the given buffer, in contrast to the to(Buffer) method.
Creates a new Pointer to the given Pointers. The array of pointers may not be null, and may not contain null elements.
This function may only be applied to pointers that have been set to point to a region of host memory using either of the methods JCudaDriver.cuMemAllocHost(Pointer, long), JCudaDriver.cuMemHostAlloc(Pointer, long, int), JCuda.cudaMallocHost(Pointer, long) or JCuda.cudaHostAlloc(Pointer, long, int), or pointers that have been created with to(byte).
For other pointer types, null is returned.

Q: Which one is better amongst right shifting the number and left shifting the bit mask when checking for whether is bit set at the specified position? I am trying to figure out a problem which asks for checking whether the kth bit is set or not and I have implemented in the following manner using:
Left shift the mask
public static boolean leftShiftingMask(int num, int pos){
    return (num & (1 << pos)) != 0;
  }

Right shift the number
public static boolean rightShiftingNumber(int num, int pos){
    return ((num >> pos) & 1) != 0;
  }

Now, in this case both methods have O(1) complexity, but I just want to know that whether left shifting the mask to the desired position is better than right shifting the original number to the desired position or vice-versa is better or both are equivalent?
And one more thing that while checking for whether the bit is set or not, should the position entered by the user should start from 0 or 1, since the place value begins with 2 ^ 0
eg:
binary of 2 is 10 and want to check for 1st bit, then should the kth position be 1st position(i.e. binary 1) or 0th(kth - 1) position(i.e. binary 0)?

A: You can do it in a way that is much easier to read (to me at least):
public static boolean bitSetOrNot(int num, int pos){
   BitSet bitSet = BitSet.valueOf(new long[]{num});
   return bitSet.get(pos);
}
