Factbox: Twitter becomes a Freeway of Love for singer Aretha Franklin
by Asians Voice August 16, 2018, 10:54 am
(Reuters) – Grammy winner Aretha Franklin earned her title "the Queen of Soul" with a voice could be both powerful and plaintive. Her music became part of the American soundtrack beginning in the 1960s through to her death on Thursday.

Soon after her death, the following tributes poured out onto the internet:
"Let's all take a moment to give thanks for the beautiful life of Aretha Franklin, the Queen of our souls, who inspired us all for many many years. She will be missed but the memory of her greatness as a musician and a fine human being will live with us forever. Love Paul."
– Former Beatle Paul McCartney on Twitter
"I'm sitting in prayer for the wonderful golden spirit Aretha Franklin."
– Singer Diana Ross on Twitter
"She was obviously unwell, and I wasn't sure she could perform. But Aretha did and she raised the roof … She sang and played magnificently, and we all wept. We were witnessing the greatest soul artist of all time. I adored her and worshipped her talent."
– Elton John on Twitter recalling Franklin's final performance – a benefit for his AIDS foundation in November
"The greatest voice in American popular music has been stilled. Our beloved #ArethaFranklin has gone. For me, she was a musical lighthouse, guiding and inspiring with every note."
– Singer Bette Midler on Twitter
"Her voice/swagger was peerless."
– Movie director Ava DuVernay on Twitter
"From listening to 'Mary Don't You Weep,' to standing in the living room dancing to 'Rock Steady' over and over again, to hearing from the Queen herself how lucky I was to be young, gifted and black — Aretha's songs were the soundtrack of my childhood. America has lost a legend. RIP."
– U.S. Senator Kamala Harris on Twitter
"We were blessed to live in a world with #ArethaFranklin. Beyond her tremendous singing voice, she was a voice in the Civil Rights Movement."
– Bernice King, daughter of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., on Twitter
"Hers wasn't just music about freeways of love and being one of the chains of fools for a man or taking a bridge to get over troubled waters. Her music was the music that got black folks through. And it still does. Because in the late 1960s, she was creating music that would resonate half a decade later."
– ESPN broadcaster Jemele Hill writing on theundefeated.com
"It's difficult to conceive of a world without her. Not only was she a uniquely brilliant singer, but her commitment to civil rights made an indelible impact on the world."
-Actress-singer Barbra Streisand, whose Twitter post included a picture of her with Franklin from 2012
"Thank you for the music, we will be listening to you forever."
– Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of the Tony-winning musical "Hamilton," on Twitter
"The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, is dead. She was a great woman, with a wonderful gift from God, her voice. She will be missed!" U.S. President Donald Trump on Twitter.
"She made millions feel like natural women, and she earned our everlasting Respect with each performance. May Aretha Franklin's voice ring now throughout the heavens."
– "Star Trek" star George Takei on Twitter

Q: Chrome continues running even when Mac should be is asleep I have the latest version of Chrome running on my Mac. I've noticed that even when I close the old intending to put my computer to sleep, Chrome continues running. I know this is the case because I have a Google Voice extension installed. It makes a "ding" noise when I receive a text and that noise comes out of my Mac even when it's supposed to be sleeping.
How do I make Chrome go to sleep along with my Mac? It's sucking the battery dry!

Kelley Hunt is an American blues pianist, singer, and songwriter. Her 2004 album, New Shade of Blue, peaked at number 9 in the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart.
In 2006, Hunt was inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame. Her most recent album and sixth to date, The Beautiful Bones, was released on 88 Records in May 2014. She is based in Lawrence, Kansas.
She was born Kelley Wade in Kansas City, Missouri, United States, and was initially musically inspired by her mother's jazz and blues styled singing. She attended Lowther Junior High School in Emporia, Kansas, in 1970/71, and the University of Kansas in 1977.
Hunt's own musical influences came from a diverse range, including the work of Ruth Brown, Ann Peebles, Wanda Jackson, Jay McShann and Mary Lou Williams amongst others. Her self-titled debut album, which was released in 1995, featured the bassist Reggie McBride and saxophonist Wilton Felder. In 1998, Hunt's song "If I Don't Dance" from her debut album, was used in the film, Dance with Me. The album Inspiration, followed in October 2000. Her 2004 album, New Shade of Blue, which was produced by Garth Fundis and Gary Nicholson, peaked at number 9 in the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart. Her fourth album, Mercy was issued in 2009, and the Star Tribune noted "Surprises don't often crop up on the well-trodden blues circuit. This Kansan is a full-blown phenomenon: powerhouse singer, hardboogieing pianist, polished songwriter..."
In 2011, Gravity Loves You was released which included twelve new songs. As well as her own tracks, several were co-written with Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg. The St. Louis Beacon stated "Hunt's songwriting shines on powerful, moving compositions like 'Deep Old Love', 'This Fall', 'In the End' and the title cut. And she proves she can shine on the keyboard as well - with dynamic inspired playing throughout". She also released the single "Heartland", with Hunt on piano and vocals, plus the mandolin player Sam Bush. The same year she performed a piano/vocal duet with Sista Monica Parker on the latter's album, Living in the Danger Zone.
Hunt made her debut as an actress in Bunker Hill (2008), where she also contributed music to the film's soundtrack.
She has variously performed at the Omaha Blues, Jazz, & Gospel Festival,Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival (2013),Memphis in May,Austin City Limits Music Festival, and Thursday at the Square. In addition, she has appeared six times on A Prairie Home Companion.
Hunt's sixth album, The Beautiful Bones, was released in May 2014.

Well wadayaknow? It looks like this actually works, welcome to the first page of my super-amazing webcomic. Do you want to know a bit more about the story? Well, so would I, this first page is the result of long experimentation with Blender, Freestyle rendering, DAZ3d-imports, website building with Jekyll, I pressed so much new knowledge into my brain these past few weeks that I did not have much time to think of an actual story - yet.
What I do know is that I want to push this idea forward, now that I figured everything out it's a lot of fun and I can finally unearth all those ideas I buried after realizing that I seriously, honestly couldn't draw well if my life depended on it. If you care you can check out http://noirtybynight.com to see that drawing is not my forte, I will probably redo the comic in toon-rendered 3D as well - soonish. For now my focus lies on this project, I think I can use it to follow my passion of story-telling in a more engaging format like I always wanted.

William Henry Hartnell (ur. 8 stycznia 1908 w Londynie, zm. 23 kwietnia 1975 w Marden) – angielski aktor, znany przede wszystkim z roli pierwszego Doktora z serialu science-fiction pt. Doktor Who.

Kariera

Doktor Who
W latach 1963–1966 występował w serialu science-fiction Doktor Who i był pierwszym aktorem, który wcielał się w postać Doktora, głównego protagonisty serialu. Postępująca choroba oraz zmiany w składzie ekipy produkcyjnej przyczyniły się do jego decyzji o opuszczeniu obsady serialu. Jego ostatnim regularnym wystąpieniem w serialu był czteroczęściowy odcinek The Tenth Planet 1966 roku, kiedy to oddał rolę Patrickowi Troughtonowi. Później powrócił na ekrany w odcinkach napisanych na 10-lecie serialu pt. The Three Doctors, co było jednocześnie jego ostatnim angażem.

California Penal Code §647 (b) prohibits people from offering to or engaging in any act of prostitution. Unfortunately this is a commonly committed offense. Engaging in solicitation of prostitution is a misdemeanor offense. Many times police officers stage sting operations in order to catch people who are involved in this type of illegal conduct.
Generally, this type of sting operation is focused on catching as many people engaged in solicitation as possible. Typically, an undercover female police officer dresses provocatively and stands on the corner of a popular area known for this kind of conduct and flags down passing drivers that are male and alone. She then has a conversation with those men and asks whether they would like a "date" which is code or slang for paying money for sexual acts with a stranger. If they say yes, she made lead them to a motel room where the man is arrested for solicitation.
Entrapment is a legal defense to being convicted for an illegal act. Entrapment occurs when the police originate the idea of the illegal act and then induce the accused to engage in that illegal act. The goal of an entrapment defense is discourage overzealous police officers from tricking normally law-abiding citizens into doing something illegal that they would not otherwise do.
As for a sting operation to catch those participating in solicitation, the defense of entrapment puts the burden of proof on the accused. The accused must prove that if not for the urging and overbearing conduct of the police officer they would not have engaged in the illegal act. There are some situations where an entrapment defense would work and it is up to the lawyers at Hoffman & Associates to determine whether you have a valid entrapment defense.
The experienced lawyers at Hoffman & Associates can meet with potential clients and review all of the police reports and evidence including video recordings (if done) to determine if entrapment is a viable defense in their case.. If entrapment can be used as a defense a knowledgeable attorney can file a motion to suppress the evidence and get the case dismissed.
Other times, if entrapment is not a defense a skilled attorney may be able to reach a plea bargain with the prosecution, which involves community service or a diversion program, which may lead to an ultimate dismissal of the charges. If you have been charged with solicitation of prostitution in the Los Angeles, Orange County, or San Diego area contact Hoffman & Associates to put the firms 30 years of daily courtroom experience to work for you.
California Penal Code §647 (b): provides that every person who commits any of the following acts is guilty of a misdemeanor: solicits or who agrees to engage in or who engages in any act of prostitution. A person agrees to engage in an act of prostitution when, with specific intent to so engage, he or she manifests an acceptance of an offer or solicitation to so engage, regardless of whether the offer or solicitation was made by a person who also possessed the specific intent to engage in prostitution. No agreement to engage in an act of prostitution shall constitute a violation of this subdivision unless some act, in addition to the agreement, is done within this state in furtherance of the commission of an act of prostitution by the person agreeing to engage in that act. As used in this subdivision, "prostitution" includes any lewd act between persons for money or other consideration.


When you have your first child, you do what all first-time parents do: you make a will. When our oldest was born, we found ourselves an attorney and made a will. I remember the meeting where we signed the wills; our son was perfectly content to set in my lap or my wife's lap and make rude noises. The attorney understood; he had children of his own, including a 9- or 10-year-old son named Aaron.
The attorney's son would grow up to become a poet, Aaron Belz. He's now published his third collection of poetry, Glitter Bomb.
I may have just found a new favorite poet.
I had just finished reading poetry by Frank O'Hara when I turned to Glitter Bomb. I understand why Belz, like O'Hara, is often connected to the "New York School" of poetry (John Ashbery is another poet associated with the School).
His poems often read like news reports – brief, terse, with a sense of speed and urgency. But Belz also adds a sense of humor, not surprising for someone who is both a poet and stand-up comedian.
As usual, I dined alone.
and could she make an exception?
It's almost a "poem of manners, " a discussion of a policy enforcer and a customer who wants an exception made to the policy, until that last sentence.
And yet these are not comic poems, or at least not all of them are comic poems. Belz writes about jobs, poetry and language. He plays with language (having some fun with palindromes). He pens a ballad and writes about Sergei Rachmaninoff. He even describes the seven habits of highly infective people.
Okay, so perhaps most of these are comic poems.
Belz received a B.A. degree from Covenant College, a master's in creative writing from New York University, and a Ph.D. in English from St. Louis University. His poems and other writings have appeared in literary journals, newspapers, and even popular magazines like Wired. His previous collections of poetry are The Bird Hoverer (2007) and Lovely, Raspberry (2010). His blog provides links to his published essays, articles and poems.
Glitter Bomb is fun, but it is also fine writing.
Yes, I have found a new favorite poet.
Photo by Jenny Downing, Creative Commons via Flickr. Post by Glynn Young, author of the novels Dancing Priest and A Light Shining, and Poetry at Work.
I'll have to read him. Thank you for the introduction to his work.
Wow! Loved the humor in this poem you shared, Glynn. I'll have to get a copy of Glitter Bomb.
Oh, I love this small poem. It is witty in the best of ways, being both surprising and managing to communicate something about human nature.
I'm wondering, too, if he might be willing to share his stash of toothpicks 😉 Or, well, did he only make off with the dispenser itself.
Aaron is one of my favorites, too. It was a happy accident to discover his poetry a couple of years ago. Glad you featured him, Glynn!

I don't know how many people here listen to SLAY Radio, but for anyone not in the know, it's a web radio playing only SID remixes (for a fairly wide value of remix). Basically they've got everything from remix.kwed.org in the rotation, plus some other stuff. MaSu is represented with the 3 Sidologies + Giana Sisters. Not really a lot of listeners by any count, but I usually listen to it at work.
Now, it's possible to vote on the tracks, and every month the top voted tracks of that month are tallied. Now, in January, all four MaSu tracks were in the top 8, and the other top 8 were all from X-formZ, who are basically the other main representative of more metal-y music on the rotation. Made me smile, at least.

WILLEMSTAD - The floating market of Willemstad is one of Curaçao's attractions. It has twelve posts with 12 Venezuelan boats that are lined up and sell fruits and vegetables. It was a colorful display that no longer shines.
The ten people who lived around the Freddymar, one of the docked boats, for the past two months returned to Venezuela on February 2. Its place in the water is no longer occupied by anyone. Only four ships are left of the regular 12.
Most of the vegetable and fruit stalls were closed just weeks after the President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, ordered the closure of the border with the neighboring islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao.
"I'm leaving, it's not profitable," stated Angel Delgado at the end of January. Delgado is one of the four partners of the Freddymar, an old blue and red boat in which ten families make their livelihood.
Delgado has done well in a market where Venezuelan merchants have distributed tasty and colorful fruits and vegetables for more than 100 years.
The local population buy their products there at a very good price. Tourists, which are mainly Dutch, as Curaçao, which is autonomous, is still under the sovereignty of the European country, like to go to the market to take pictures. Many Venezuelans made a good living there.
Everyone was a winner. Or, at least, they used to be.
The closure is having consequences for the economy of Curaçao that go beyond the fruits and vegetables that the Venezuelan merchants are now forced to buy at a higher price from distributors in Colombia and the Dominican Republic.

Q: MVC project: Convert user input date mmddyyyy to yyyy/mm/dd I have a textbox in a MVC project that prompts a user to enter a date as mmddyyyy. I have the code set up so that the user can only input numbers (ie, no "/"s or "-"s). I need to then convert this data to yyyy-mm-dd to ensure that correct data is being added to the database once the form is submitted.
I realize I will probably need to use DateTime.Parse to do this, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to add it to the following code:

    @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Buy2IDExpireDate, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Buy2IDExpireDate, new { id = "coBuyerIDExpireDate", @class = "form-control" })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Buy2IDExpireDate, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

Would it look something like this?
string str = Date.Parse(Buy2IDExpireDate).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");

If so where do I put it in the above code, and do I need to write extra code to ensure that the newly formatted date is stored by the database?

A: You can add value attribute like this:
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Buy2IDExpireDate,
           new { @Value = Model.Buy2IDExpireDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") })

Jakarta. Morocco is seeking to become a sectoral dialogue partner for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or Asean, and aims to make a real impact which will benefit people in the region, an official said on Tuesday (13/02).
"Morocco is making it a priority to collaborate with countries in Southeast Asia – we want to make a real positive impact in these countries," Morocco's secretary of state to the minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation, Mounia Boucetta, said.
During her visit to Jakarta, Boucetta presented Morocco's candidacy to become Asean's sectoral dialogue partner to the association's secretary general, Lim Jock Hoi.
Sectoral partnership is one of the ways for non-members of the regional bloc to engage with it. Asean currently has four sectoral dialogue partners – Norway, Pakistan, Switzerland and Turkey.
Sectoral partners' scope of interaction is limited to specific sectors where their contributions can support Asean's community-building priorities, a research published by Singapore's Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (Iseas) said.
"Sectoral partnerships require long-standing substantive cooperation with Asean members [to work]," the report said.
Boucetta also held a meeting with her Indonesian counterpart, A.M. Fachir, in Jakarta, where they discussed Indonesia-Morocco bilateral relations and agreed to facilitate more interactions between the two countries' private sectors.
"We still need to discuss this [partnership] with the other Asean member states and identify potential sectors that we can work together on, based on existing cooperations," Fachir told reporters after their meeting.
He said the fact that Morocco has official representations in five Asean countries should strengthen the case for their acceptance as sectoral partner, which will require the consent of all 10 Asean member states.
"Cooperation with an integrated economic community is very important, they have great potential," Boucetta said.
She said Morocco can also offer support to Asean in development and sharing of expertise on a win-win principle.

This story first appeared in Curios and Conundrums: Brain Butchers (August 2017) from The Mysterious Package Company. The themes of the issue were mind control, zombies, and 1970's Cold War Russia.
I am convinced that the sphere has a sick sense of humour. It disappeared with a whisper and left me sitting naked, as usual, in a crater in the middle of a field. But this time I, Alexander Musick, found myself face-to-no-face with a headless cow. Beyond scooping out the earth beneath me in a perfect bowl, the sphere had sliced clean through the hapless heifer. I was bathed in a fine red mist from the animal's still-active aorta, before the ruminant's remnants tipped over and tumbled into the shallow crater. It was an unpleasant welcome to whatever time and place I had just reached, but it tickled me to think that somewhere in the future, Boss Teegan was now dealing with Bessie's disembodied head oozing all over the Ready Room.
I was here, wherever here was, to steal something for the auction house. But the bovine-butchering sphere presented a fresh problem: due to the Law of Temporal Displacement, I would have to return to the future with something roughly as large as the calf's head, or risk being turned inside out through a cruel trick of time travel. Ordinarily, when the sphere scoops out a shallow bowl of sod, my own freshly-clothed body and some priceless trinket are enough to offset its mass on the return trip. Returning with a baby cow's head worth of treasure posed a challenge. I tapped my wrist to see how much time I had, and the subcutaneous glow answered "2 hours." Only two hours? And where, exactly, was I? Oh, right. The middle of nowhere. Terrific.
Taking stock of my surroundings was difficult, because I wasn't surrounded by much. A few nervous-looking and intact cows grazed further afield. To my left sat a lonely looking farmhouse. It was the only structure for miles. I lost 15 minutes just reaching the place. Where there was smoke coming from the chimney and a vintage Moskvitch with defrosted windows in the driveway . Someone was home, and home was the USSR, I surmised, somewhen in the 1970s. Perhaps Russia, or one of the -stans? I found an unlatched window and quietly let myself in.
You can tell a lot about a person by ransacking their closet. The owner's wardrobe was inexplicably heavy on the "robe," and I had to thumb through a dozen such garments before I found an orange shirt with flouncy sleeves that flagrantly flouted the Communist Party line. I pulled on one of the few pairs of drab pants.
Unsuitably attired, I crept through the house searching for valuables. The owner was some sort of well-heeled collector of Russian antiquities. Either that, or a '70s Bond villain. He had decorated the interior of the unassuming farmhouse with intricate Uzbek silk tapestries and huge landscape paintings in gaudy frames, which clashed with the orange shag carpet, brown wallpaper, and proliferation of lava lamps. For every ornate stone sculpture, there was a macramé owl, and for every gilded wing chair, a wicker one. An enameled cheetah statue sat sentry beside a leopard print bean bag chair, while the golden eagle on an imperial sceptre gazed down at a brown glass ashtray. The room was a bizarre clash of cultures, with the opulence of late Russian imperialism colliding with the excess of American disco, and, unlike chocolate colliding with peanut butter, the taste was questionable.
I slinked through the wood-panelled hallway to the sunken living room where the focal point was a large corner fireplace. In front sat a stereophonic egg chair with its back toward me. As I stepped softly through the thick shag carpet, I ducked down to check beneath the chair. No feet. If the owner was home, he was nowhere to be found. Above the fireplace loomed another clue: a large print of a photograph depicting a bearded man with beady eyes and dark, lank hair. He looked immediately familiar. My brain cycled through its file folder of 20th-century notables. Was it Charles Manson? No. Ringo Starr? Perhaps.
Along one wall was a wooden liquor cabinet containing small, corked vials filled with eerie, iridescent red liquid. Curiouser and curiouser.
One magnificent old chiffonier was piled high with princely trinkets and treasures from a bygone era. There was jewellery, sure, but nothing fancy enough to justify an entire trip from the future. Nevertheless I nervously stuffed my droopy pants pockets with bracelets and baubles and rings, all in aggregate much smaller than a cow's head. But my fears melted away when I spotted a certain something perched on a plinth: a fist-sized jeweled egg seated in a tiny chariot, which was being pulled by the alabaster figure of Cupid or some Biblical cherub. I knew that I was looking at one of the famous lost Fabergé eggs, hand-crafted for Tsaritsa, Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna. in the waning days of the Russian Empire. What was this place, I wondered? What bizarre, swanky dragon's den had I blundered into? Only one thing was for certain: that egg was by far the most precious thing in the room, and the sphere had brought me here to steal it.
As I lifted the fancy egg from its pedestal, it emitted a distinctive tinkle as four dangling crystals jingled against the ornamented chariot. As if responding to a Pavlovian bell, the egg chair by the fire creaked and slowly began to turn around. I turned my head towards it just as slowly, until I was staring directly at the master of the house, who was staring right back at me.
The collector was seated in the lotus position, thus hiding his feet from view. He was wearing one of the heavy black robes I had seen in the closet, and around his neck hung one of the vials of red liquid, suspended by a length of scratchy twine. Sharp, pointed fingernails topped two gnarled, knobby hands connected to spindly arms, which disappeared into the sleeves of the robe. Weighed down by an enormous pair of headphones, his head hung oddly askew. Stringy dark hair spread thin across a dessicated scalp and dangled down around the face, where it was overwhelmed by a bushy, black beard. His teeth protruded donkey-like as only a corpse's teeth can, with its flesh retreating into skeletal cheekbones and cavernous eye sockets.
Though cadaverous, the resemblance to the photo was undeniable. The robes, the beard, and particularly the bullet hole in the forehead all strongly suggested that this was the immaculately preserved body of Grigori Rasputin, the Mad Monk of tsarist Russia.
I was still holding the Fabergé egg, as I gazed in horror at the abomination in the egg chair. Rasputin raised a bony hand to the vial around his neck, pulled it free from its cork, and took a greedy swig. He seemed to surge with energy as he re-corked it. With one unexpectedly swift movement, he surged forward, becoming an angry, flailing lich that flew toward me.
I staggered backwards and fell, jewelled trinkets spilling out of my loose pockets like I was a luxury piñata. Rasputin rushed at me, his bearded mouth agape, and the coiled cord linking his headphones to the hi fi popped out and trailed behind him in the shag. The stereo suddenly blasted an entirely too appropriate euro-disco melody, and with each "rah-rah," Rasputin charged ever nearer. I crab-crawled backwards, breathless with fear and unable to stand. With a clawed hand, Rasputin grabbed me by the throat, pulling me forcefully to my feet with surprising strength. I gurgled, unable to breathe, as the Mad Monk tightened his grip. With my last scrap of resolve, I fumbled around in my roomy pocket, grabbed a jewelled brooch, and plunged it into the softened skull of Russia's greatest love machine. A spring of brackish brine oozed from the spot, and down went Rasputin.
Seizing my chance, I tore back through the hallway still clutching the prized egg, as Rasputin convulsed in the thick orange pile. I could already hear the cricks and snaps of the fiend contorting himself to a standing position as I sprang out the back door and onto the half-frozen fields, tripping on my overlong pants with every other step.
I wasn't more than a few metres clear of the house before I turned back to see Rasputin's alarmingly spry form appear in the doorway. Then, with only the Fabergé egg in hand, I dove for the crater. The snapping sounds of Rasputin's body in motion drew ever nearer. The sphere was due back in moments. I knew how to make up the calf's-head difference in displaced mass, but my timing had to be exact. Rasputin's footfalls came fast, and my heart beat ever faster. I took a deep breath and pinned my hopes on the relentless, dependable ticking of time.
How did Alexander return to the future unscathed? Click here for a hint!
The time travel sphere slices through anything it intersects.
As mysterious as it may be, some truths of time travel are known to me. The Law of Temporal Displacement requires me to return to the future with roughly as much mass as the sphere had displaced, or scooped out of the farmer's field, which meant I needed to return with something around the size of a head of veal. As I tore across the field towards the crater with Rasputin's zombie giving chase, I hatched a plan, but my timing would have to be impeccable.
I sat there huddled in the shallow crater as the irate and undead Rasputin approached. I tapped my wrist and watched the digits countdown, mouthing each number to get a lock on the sphere's timing. The evil zombie Rasputin arrived and planted his feet defiantly at the edge of the crater, affording me an unfortunate view straight up his robe. Trying to shake the sight of the Mad Monk's Boney M, I leaped up and grabbed the vial around his neck, pulling him down by the scratchy twine until his cadaverous face was a hair's breadth from my own. For the briefest second, I could feel the foul air from his dusty lungs penetrate into my nose and mouth, and could see the flecks of frothy spittle dotting his desiccated lips. If my timing was right, my plan would work; if my timing was off, I was about to be eaten. At that very instant, the sphere arrived.
As the sphere blinked into existence, it trapped Rasputin's outstretched head inside it and snicked it off cleanly. With a whisper, the fields vanished along with the sphere, and I was back on the floor of the Ready Room. Rasputin's head fell from its position in mid-air, hitting the floor in front of me with a dry crack.
"Do you have it?" she asked greedily.
"The serum, Musick. Where is the serum?" she interrupted.
"And it's not…?" I looked down at the beautifully detailed egg.
Boss Teegan threw her hands up and growled with exasperation. "Guards!" she bellowed. As she turned away, I covertly pocketed the glass vial that was still clenched tightly in my fist.
The door of the Ready Room whirred open, and for the second time that day, evil hands gripped me and pulled me unwillingly to my feet.

The planned enlargement of a 200-year-old bridge in Hue to help ease traffic congestion is criticised by restoration experts as not warranted.
A recent plan to enlarge two ancient bridges in Hue to ease traffic congestion has been met with opposition from local experts who believe the solution could destroy the heritage.
Under the plan, the 200-year-old Vinh Loi and Kho bridges crossing the Ngu Ha River in the Hue Citadel will be expanded to more than 10 meters wide, said Nguyen Dang Truong, deputy director of the Thua Thien Hue province's Traffic Investment and Construction board.
"The current stone bridge banister will be destroyed and more beton and brick will be added to expand the bridges," he adds.
The project has been submitted to 12 experts and researchers in Hue for approval.


More courts encouraging shared parenting duties post-divorce | Walden & Schuster, S.C.
The study also found a significant increase in instances where both parents spend an equal number of nights with children post-divorce. Societal changes may have contributed to the tendency to favor mothers as well. In the '60s and '70s it became more commonplace for women to take advantage of no-fault divorce laws and seek custody of any children a marriage produced. The importance of father-child relationships has since become better understood as well. Even dads who never married a child's mother and those without significant financial assets are generally faring better today when it comes to custody decisions.
It's also becoming increasingly common for a family law attorney to help a client work out mutually acceptable custody arrangements without the need to let the court have the final say. As long as divorcing parents are willing to be reasonable, it may also be possible for related issues, such as creating a co-parenting plan and visitation schedule, to be negotiated without court intervention.

U.S. Mine Deaths Fall to Lowest Level
ROGER ALFORD
The number of miners killed on the job in the United States fell in 2002 to the lowest level on record: 67.
The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration reported that 27 of the deaths happened in coal mines, down from 42 in 2001, and 40 were in copper, gold, stone and other types of mines, up from 30 in 2001.
The 67 deaths are the lowest number since the federal government began keeping records in 1910. The previous low was last year's 72 deaths.
"Clearly, it's a trend that we wanted to see," said Bruce Watzman, vice president for safety and health with the National Mining Association. "It's a trend we hope and pray for on a daily basis."
Nine people died in Kentucky's coalfields in 2002. West Virginia was second in coal mine fatalities with six. Virginia had four and Pennsylvania three.
Nationally, more than 100 coal miners died in mine accidents each year through the 1970s, but the numbers have declined since then.
Bill Caylor, president of the Kentucky Coal Association, said the decrease in deaths in 2002 came despite an increase in mining activity.
"It's a combination of better training, better equipment, more conscientious oversight by regulatory agencies and more emphasis on safety by companies," he said. "Our goal is to have zero fatalities, and we're slowly heading toward that goal. The mining industry won't be happy until we reach that goal."

'Prolific Offender' Sentenced For Rochester Drug Bust
Minnesota Dept. Corrections photo
Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - A man with a long criminal history now serving time in a Minnesota prison has had some more time added to his sentence for a conviction stemming from an incident in Rochester three years ago.
At the time of his arrest, Rochester Police described 27-year-old Andre Dee as a "prolific offender." He was taken into custody after a police officer, who Dee did not have a valid driver's license, behind the wheel of a car. After Dee parked the vehicle, he spotted the officer and took off running. While fleeing, Dee dropped a backpack containing nearly 2 pounds of marijuana before he ran into a residence, which resulted in a brief standoff with police.
He ended up pleading guilty to a couple of 3rd-degree drug charges last October and has now been sentenced to 6-years in prison. The sentencing order states Dee will be allowed to serve the time concurrently with a 3-year prison term he was given in December of 2017 for failing to register as a predatory offender, which means he'll have to serve an additional 3 years behind bars.

Q: Solving minimum set cover using available libraries I would like to solve an instance of minimum set cover. As one possibility, is there some way of formulating the problem as a bipartite graph and using networkx?
Update Using dlx (dancing links) was suggested in the comments. Can anyone give a small working example of how to solve the minimum set cover problem using dlx?

A: Set cover can be mapped to any NP-complete problem on a graph, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to solve it efficiently. Is there a reason you don't focus directly on the problem at hand (ie, set cover)?
Maybe something like: https://pypi.org/project/dlx/
This can be installed using: pip install dlx or easy_install dlx

A: For everyone struggling with DLX library in Python, I prepared a little example
install with pip install dlx then do as I specified in my gist, it comes with couple of example instances. Enjoy!

A 400-year old German manuscript portrays how cats could be used as deadly explosives.
It's hard to deny that cats have it made in our modern world. We feed them, provide them with shelter, and throw entire film festivals in their honor, requiring only that they pose for the occasional internet photo in return. Sadly, cats haven't always held such esteemed positions in our society. According to a 16th Century German manuscript, cats were used less for cheeseburger jokes and more for blowing up enemy encampments. An image from the manuscript, seen right, depicts a death-dealing, rocket-bearing feline in a scene that is both ridiculous and laughable, provided you don't dwell on its rather depressing implications.
Feuer Buech, or "Fire Book" in English, provides illustrations of various kinds of 16th Century munitions. The manuscript can be examined in full on the University of Pennsylvania's library website, where one reader presumably stumbled across the subtitle "cat and bird with rocket packs" and couldn't stop laughing. The image has been slowly spreading on blogs and tumblr feeds ever since, presumably to the amused bewilderment of history buffs and cat lovers everywhere.
Animals have been a part of human warfare for about as long as we've had warfare, and explosives were never an exception. During World War II, the Soviets put bomb-laden dogs in the field as anti-tank weapons while the US experimented with a pigeon-guided missile system. Of course, such programs usually led to tragic results for the animals involved, and were eventually scrapped in favor of traditional, non-adorable delivery methods.
Since Feuer Buech isn't packed from cover-to-cover with animal pictures, it's pretty safe to say that these cat-based bombs weren't in vogue for very long. Which is good, because Grumpy Cat wouldn't be very impressed if we gave him the same treatment as his 16th Century ancestor, Fritz the Rocket Cat.

Антонин Марек (; 5 сентября 1785, Турнов, Богемия Австрийская империя — 15 февраля 1877, Прага) — чешский поэт, писатель, переводчик, богослов, философ, энтузиаст славянства. Римско-католический священник.

Литературный псевдоним — Болемир Изборский.

Биография
Сын каменщика. Обучался в цистерцианском монастыре в Крешуве в Силезии. С 1801 изучал философию в Праге, в 1804—1808 — богословие в Литомержице, где познакомился и подружился со своим учителем Й. Юнгманом, под влиянием которого начал заниматься чешским языком и литературой. С 1808 сотрудничал с ним. В предисловии к своему «Чешско-немецкому словарю» Юнгман подчеркивал активное участие в его составлении своего ученика А. Марека.

В 1808 был рукоположен. Служил священником в разным местах Богемии. Был каноником Кафедрального капитула у св. Стефана в Литомержице.

Патриотически настроенный священник А. Марек был энтузиастом славянства и «горячим русофилом», как характеризовал его историк Зденек Неедлы и одним из ведущих деятелей чешского просвещения и народных будителей.

В 1844—1858 был школьным инспектором.

Активно сотрудничал с чешской Матицей и Славянской липой (Slovanská lípa) — обществами эпохи чешского национального возрождения. Был членом словацкого Литературного сообщества, комитета чешского Национального музея и др.

Умер в Праге и похоронен на Вышеградском национальном кладбище.

Творчество
А. Марек принадлежит к поэтам новой чешской школы поэзии, которые, стремясь к совершенству стихосложения, защищали метрический размер. Оригинальные стихотворения поэта напечатаны у Ф. Л. Челаковского в его «Malý výbor z literatury česke», в журналах «Krok», «Hlasatel», «Casopis pro katolicke duchovenstvo». В его стихах выражена обеспокоенность судьбой чешского народа.

Составил курс логики и метафизики. Он автор первого философского произведения на чешском языке (Základní filosofie. Logika. Metafysika. 1844).

А. Марек ввел в обиход много слов, которые используются в Чехии и сегодня. Вместе с Юнгманном занимался правилами чешского правописания.

Интерес к панславизму проявился среди прочего в 1833 году в статье о славянах, в которой автор видел будущее чешского народа в союзе с поляками и русскими.

Переводил на чешский язык произведения Державина и Пушкина. Также им переведены многие книги с русского, в основном, по этнографии.

Марек переводил также с немецкого и английского языков. Так, им осуществлен перевод стихов Шиллера и Овидия, пьес Шекспира для чешской сцены. Особо удачной обработкой «Комедии ошибок» стала изданная им в 1823 под названием «Ошибки, по Шекспиру написанная Болемиром Изборским комедия». Его «Ошибки» вызвали интерес одного из самых значительных новочешских драматургов В. К. Клицперы, который высказал пожелание, чтобы «остроумный господин переводчик доводил до нас как можно больше произведений этого великана».

In Virginia (VA) and Washington DC, summers can be unbearably muggy while a harsh winter can dump feet of snow and see temperatures dipping well below freezing. Though our forefathers may have endured these temperature extremes without the assistance of modern heating and air conditioning, luckily current residents do not have to. Instead, Virginia residents are able to rely on skilled HVAC professionals to install, repair and maintain climate control systems that keep things comfortable, even in the worst weather.
For these professionals in VA, a wealth of associations and resources are available. By illustration, the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors of Virginia provides continuing education opportunities, a monthly e-newsletter, member networking, discounts for various services (e.g., Aramark work apparel, ExxonMobil fleet, Equiguard warranties, etc.), and legal advocacy on issues that impact the industry. Some of the PHCC's educational programs include advanced project management, business management, and more. In addition, the Association of Air Conditioning Professionals has served trade workers in VA and DC since 1964, striving to improve the engineering and design of HVAC systems by offering ongoing training for contractors in the industry. Another group of note in the area is Metropolitan Washington Association for Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Contractors (MWPHCC), which raises money for disaster relief and offers regional apprenticeship opportunities. Coupled with its long term advocacy efforts surrounding technical and career education standards, this organization boasts a veritable powerhouse to voice HVAC professionals' concerns.
So in Virginia and Washington DC, what is it that HVAC mechanics and installers do? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), HVAC workers take on varied responsibilities such as installing, inspecting, and diagnosing problems in HVAC systems and components (e.g., ductless splits, motors, hermetic compressors, intake & exhaust fans, refrigeration controls, thermostats, heat pumps, humidifiers, furnaces, boilers, economizers); reading & implementing blueprint instructions; keeping inventory of HVAC tools & parts; maintaining client records; making suggestions to improve energy efficiency; and ensuring active credentialing through entities such as the VA Board for Contractors and the Washington DC Office of Documents & Administrative Issuances.
Virginia and DC HVAC professionals sometimes work typical business hours, although they may be called upon to work weekends, evenings, or holidays, particularly during the high winter and summer seasons. It's increasingly common for clients with HVAC systems to have service contracts for inspections, which brings in steady work throughout the year. Also, since HVAC equipment generally needs to be replaced every 10 to 15 years, these workers are likely to have stable employment prospects in the years to come, especially in areas with high population growth and construction.
Read on to discover the high-growth career prospects for HVAC workers in VA and DC, as well as to learn about the expected salaries, accredited HVAC training schools, and licensing information in the region.
HVAC workers in VA and DC are expected to have excellent opportunities within their profession in the coming decade. By illustration, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS 2017) anticipated a 15 percent explosion in HVAC openings nationwide—equivalent to 48,800 fresh HVAC positions—between 2016 and 2026, much higher than the average growth predicted across all occupations during that time period (7 percent). The average growth in the HVAC industry in VA and DC is slightly lower than the national projections. In fact, Projections Central (2017) forecasted am 11.5 percent increase in HVAC openings in VA between 2016 and 2026, which amounts to an additional 1,330 jobs over that time span.
While the future employment prospects in HVAC look bright, people in this line of work should be warned that professionals in this industry suffer a higher-than-average incidence of injury compared to other US jobs. With the physical nature of the job as well as the various agents used (e.g., refrigerant chemicals), HVAC workers are put at a relatively higher risk for muscle strains, tears, chemical burns, frostbite, electrical shocks, and other problems. That said, with proper training and prudent use of safety equipment, people working in HVAC can keep these complications to a minimum.
Adding further proof of the burgeoning employment climate in HVAC, common job posting websites offered an abundance of openings as of December 2018. As proof of point, Monster posted (Dec. 2018) 52 relevant HVAC jobs in VA at places such as Bowhead, York Town, and ABC Imaging. In Washington DC, there were opportunities as places such as Home Air Services, Emcor, and Montgomery County Public Schools. Indeed (Dec. 2018) hosted 1,138 relevant posts in HVAC across Virginia, including openings at Pritchard & Fallin, Inc., CroppMetcalfe, and George Mason University. In short, in Virginia and Washington, DC, growth in this industry is ongoing.
As noted above, the average salary for HVAC workers in Virginia is virtually the same as that of the rest of the nation, differing by just $10 per year. As with any salary projections, taking into account the cost of living is also important. As such, the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center (MERIC 2018) found that VA was the 31st most affordable state. Residents can expect to find minimal savings in areas like groceries and utilities, but also to pay more than average for housing.
In addition to Virginia regions, the BLS identified two metropolitan areas in and around Washington, DC with their own reported salary data. Notably, MERIC (2018) reported the District of Columbia to be the second most costly place in the US in terms of cost of living, coming in second only to Hawaii. These regional considerations are reflected in higher than average HVAC salaries.
Prior to beginning a career in HVAC, it's crucial to receive the proper training in the industry to learn about the appropriate techniques, equipment, and safety. There are currently two main organizations which accredit HVAC programs across the country: HVAC Excellence and Partnership for Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Accreditation (PAHRA). To learn about how programs are approved, please check out the accreditation section of the HVAC training homepage.
As of December 2018, there were five HVAC Excellence-accredited programs in Virginia.
For example, Northern Virginia Community College's (NOVA) Woodbridge campus provides a, HVAC Excellence-accredited career studies certificate in HVAC-R & facilities services technology, featuring classes such as air conditioning & refrigeration controls; heating systems; introduction to plumbing; and circuits & controls. Also, NOVA offers a two-year associate of applied science (AAS) in air conditioning & refrigeration; this program has coursework in heating systems; gas-fired warm air furnaces; hydronics & zoning; heat loads & psychrometrics; and advanced troubleshooting & service. In addition to the $100 to $150 for textbooks, NOVA's programs cost $145.25 per credit for VA residents and $340 for non-residents.
Virginia Beach Technical & Career Education Center in Virginia Beach also offers an HVAC program that has earned HVAC Excellence accreditation. The two-year program gives students the opportunity to learn "theory and practical applications of air conditioning, refrigeration and heating equipment servicing." Those who complete the program will be eligible for a range of certifications, including the EPAC Section 608 certificate, as well as HVAC Excellence examinations like Electricity, Basic Refrigeration & Charging, and Air Conditioning; and the Workplace Readiness Skills for the Commonwealth Examination. Graduates of this program may go on to complete apprenticeships or further education.
While HVAC Excellence and PAHRA are the gold standard nationally in HVAC program accreditation, the Virginia Board for Contractors also provides a list of approved vocational training schools, including Fortis, which has a campus in Norfolk as well as Roanoke. This HVAC training school gives instruction in areas such as gas heat, heat pumps, commercial systems, and air conditioning.
Additionally, the Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) with a campus in Virginia Beach has an HVAC diploma program with specialized training in residential and light commercial systems. Courses include the fundamentals of technology; basic electricity & circuits; pipe brazing/ducting & air movement; domestic & commercial refrigeration; sheet metal fabrication; and direct digital controls. Furthermore, students receive preparation for the Section 608 EPA certification, a mandatory national credential for people who work with refrigerants. The program lasts 55 weeks. ATI also has an associate in occupational science (AOS) degree with similar coursework, as well as units in occupational safety, industrial psychology, and service management.
Lastly, the Home Builders Institute is headquartered in Washington DC and provides a competitive HVAC apprentice program with hands-on instruction in how to install system piping & tubing; wiring & circuits safety; maintaining & cleaning HVAC equipment; system diagnostics; and using green building techniques to increase energy efficiency.
While there is an array of HVAC apprenticeships and training programs in the Virginia and DC regions, it may be difficult for some students to attend due to personal or professional commitments. For those who live in more rural regions or have other time commitments preventing them from completing an on-campus certificate or degree, there are online HVAC training options available. To learn about the distance-based programs, check out the online HVAC classes page.
Most HVAC training programs prepare students for EPA certification and many include the exam itself as part of the curriculum, but applicants should be sure to verify what steps they need to take to earn this essential certification.
Also, there are various organizations which provide competency-based certifications for HVAC professionals. These include North American Technician Excellence (NATE), HVAC Excellence, and the Refrigeration Service Engineers Society (RSES). To discover the credentials offered and how to apply, visit the HVAC certifications page.
Each license type is valid for two years and requires the completion of a continuing education (CE) course to renew. To discover how to achieve and maintain any of these state license types, interested applicants should review the full rules on the VA Board for Contractors website.
These licenses are valid for one year. To learn about each of these local license types in detail, please visit chapter 17-3 of DC's Documents & Administrative Issuances office.
Because licensure requirements can vary even within one state, it is contingent on all HVAC professionals entering the field to ensure they are properly credentialed to perform their work in their municipality of their choosing.

Comments Off on 'I Was Already Starving Myself'
"In your early 20s, so much of it is about beauty, and how people respond to you, and do people want to f— you," says the "Yellowjackets" star.
Melanie Lynskey is a veteran of the entertainment industry, which unfortunately means she's had to endure scrutiny and criticism of her body far longer than anyone should have to deal with.
In an interview for The Hollywood Reporter, the "Yellowjackets" star opened up about how comfortable people were body-shaming her on the set of the 2000 film "Coyote Ugly."

She recalled a costume designer looking at her after they'd put her into Spanx to try and achieve whatever body standard they were seeking and saying, "Nobody told me there would be girls like you."
"Really intense feedback about my physicality, my body, people doing my makeup and being like, 'I'm just going to help you out by giving you a bit more of a jawline and stuff.,'" Lynskey said.
She said it felt like she was just getting the same feedback over and over again: "You're not beautiful. You're not beautiful."
"In your early 20s, so much of it is about beauty, and how people respond to you, and do people want to f— you?" she noted.

But it wasn't just Lynskey, who played the classic "best friend" role, that was under that microscope. She recalled "the scrutiny that was on Piper [Perabo], who's one of the coolest, smartest women, just the way people were talking about her body, talking about her appearance, focusing on what she was eating."
Lynskey said all of the women in the cast were on a strict regimen. "I was already starving myself and as thin as I could possibly be for this body, and I was still a [size] four," she said.
Unfortunately, 22 years later and a #MeToo movement and Lynskey found herself facing much the same thing on the set of the hit Showtime series.

Back in January, Lynskey told Rolling Stone that a member of the "Yellowjackets" production team had asked her, "What do you plan to do? I'm sure the producers will give you a trainer. They'd love to help you with this."
She said she also got some flak on social media for her character's confident sexuality and the fact she never talks about her body, which is something that was very important to Lynskey with her interpretation of adult Shauna.
"I did find it important that this character is just comfortable and sexual and not thinking or talking about it, because I want women to be able to to watch it and be like, 'Wow, she looks like me and nobody's saying she's the fat one,'" she explained. "That representation is important."
The story of my life since Yellowjackets premiered. Most egregious are the "I care about her health!!" people…bitch you don't see me on my Peleton! You don't see me running through the park with my child. Skinny does not always equal healthy https://t.co/W2poMmsv1p

You might think of a hypnotist as someone who swings a watch in front of people's faces, while calmly saying "You're getting very sleepy." This is just a stereotype, and the truth is, hypnotists aren't like that at all.
Some learn how to be a hypnotist so they can help people struggling with addiction, weight, anxiety, depression and more. Other experienced hypnotists decide to take the performance route instead. These comedy or stage hypnotists have the exciting task of hypnotizing entire groups of people for entertainment purposes.
If you're wondering how to become a comedy hypnotist, you first have to understand the fundamentals of hypnotism.
Learning how to become a hypnotherapist or hypnotist isn't easy. It involves putting someone into a state of deep relaxation.
When a person is hypnotized, they'll become very suggestible and will have a more active imagination. The person is still fully awake, but they block out any of the distractions around them.
A state of hypnosis feels like a daydream. The last time you daydreamed, did you feel that whatever you were imagining was almost real? Daydreams can trigger certain emotions like happiness, excitement, fear or depression.
In other words, a person who is getting hypnotized will interpret a hypnotist's suggestions as real. A hypnotist who tells someone that they're outside in the snow might start to feel cold and shiver. If a hypnotist tells someone that they're eating soup, they may feel the sensation of hot soup in their mouth.
Suggestibility is the key to comedy hypnotism. Due to the person's relaxed and suggestible state, they'll accept the ideas given to them by the hypnotist.
If you've ever seen a hypnotist show, you'll sometimes see adults acting like children, singing, or even dancing in front of an audience. While they don't feel embarrassed, they still won't do things that they don't want to.
Is Comedy Hypnotism Right for You?
After you've learned how to become a hypnotist, you might start to be curious about comedy hypnotism. You've probably been in the audience of a hypnotist show, watching in awe how quickly the performer can hypnotize people.
Comedy hypnotism takes a lot of skill and charisma. You'll need to have the ability to perform in front of a crowd and be an excellent multi-tasker. You won't be the center of attention as a comedy hypnotist–your volunteers will take up most of the spotlight.
If you feel that you're able to focus on hypnotism in front of dozens of people, and if you can analyze the volunteers' hypnotic state while also managing their actions, you might be cut out to be a stage hypnotist.
A comedy hypnotist typically gathers a large audience. A larger audience is better because there's a chance that there are more suggestible people in the audience. Only experienced comedy hypnotists will take the chance of having a small audience.
At the start of the show, the hypnotist must quickly find the members of the audience who seem to be highly suggestible. This can be done in a number of ways.
In order to find the members of the audience who are more easily hypnotized, you can opt to initiate a sort of test. This "test" is known as an induction.
Inductions are done prior to any of the volunteers being on stage and is used to decide which subjects will be your volunteers. Comedy hypnotists tend to keep their inductions short, but dramatic.
The hypnotist might tell the audience to hold their arms out in front of them and to imagine that a magnet is pulling their hands together.
The subjects will begin as if they're just pretending. However, their imagination will actually create the sensation that their hands are stuck together. The members of the audience who can't seem to pull their hands apart are more susceptible to accepting the hypnotist's suggestions.
Hypnotists can also try the pattern interrupt technique. This method utilizes a physiological response that all humans and animals have. If you're alone in a room and you hear a strange noise, you'll stop what you're doing as you try to determine your next move–this is known as pattern interrupt.
Essentially, hypnotists can startle someone into a suggestible state. Hypnotists won't pop out and try to scare their subjects, but they'll startle them in a more subtle way.
When someone tries to shake your hand, do you just stare at their hand and not know what to do? No, you'll respond by returning the handshake. If someone were to shake your hand with their left, the socially acceptable handshake becomes interrupted.
Someone would be startled by this type of handshake, which is the perfect opportunity for a hypnotist to say a command like "sleep." Subjects are more suggestible in this startled state, making it easier for them to accept orders.
Once the hypnotist uses the induction techniques to weed out the more suggestible participants, they can start the show. Some volunteers will come out of their hypnotic state because they'll be nervous on stage–the hypnotist will simply have them return to their seat in the audience.
Other volunteers will be more focused on getting hypnotized, as they feel the pressure of being in front of a crowd. This works to the hypnotist's advantage.
The hypnotist's first suggestions are usually tame so the volunteers who are only lightly hypnotized will be willing to participate. The hypnotist must pay attention to the volunteers that come out of their trance over time and will have to re-hypnotize them.
Hypnotists will suggest silly scenarios that they know their volunteers will react to. The audience will be entertained–nonstop laughter and fun will ensue during the entire show.
Many experienced hypnotists learn how to become a comedy hypnotist by observing other hypnotist shows, working as an apprentice, and researching comedy hypnotism. With enough practice, you'll be up on stage with hypnotized volunteers entertaining hundreds of people.
Are you interested in becoming a more effective hypnotist? Whether you want to hone your skills, or if you want to become a hypnotist, signing up for my training course can help you achieve your goals.

Q: Sandwich/Squeeze Theorem Problem the following problem is in regards to finding the limit using the squeeze theorem:
$$(3^{n}+1)^{1/n}$$
I feel fairly okay with the squeeze theorem in general, however, I seem to have a little bit of trouble finding the upper bounds of functions not involving trigonometric functions.
The lower bound seems a bit easier but I'm kind of unsure, do I just need to substitute $n=1$ as the lowest possible value?
Thank you for the help!

A: Simply noting the inequality
$$3^n < 3^n + 1 < 2 \times 3^n$$
and the fact $\lim_{n \to \infty} 2^{1/n} = 1$.

A: $3=(3^{n})^{1/n} < (3^{n}+1)^{1/n}<(3^{n}+3^{n})^{1/n}=(2(3^{n}))^{1/n}=2^{1/n}3$ and $2^{1/n} \to 1$.

Sonic mix blooms under the boughs of the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival
by Alexander Varty on March 27th, 2019 at 2:58 PM
Hanami, or cherry-blossom viewing, is a Japanese tradition, but it's been picked up in a big way here in Vancouver. And Vancouver being what it is, our local celebrations have taken on a decidedly multicultural aspect—mutant, one might even say.
Emblematic of the local approach is Kim Noriko Kobayashi, a Japanese-Canadian musician whose NoriNori & Kage duo will be one of the featured acts at the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival's Cherry Jam downtown concert next Thursday (April 4). Yes, she plays the shamisen—a Japanese descendant of the sanxian, a Chinese lute—and yes, she's teaming up with taiko drummer Eileen Kage, another exponent of a uniquely Japanese art form. But shamisen and taiko are rarely, if ever, heard together on the Japanese archipelago, and the two performers will be putting a distinctly West Coast spin on the combination.
Even, it seems, when they're playing one of the most beloved songs in the Japanese folk-music canon.
As Kobayashi explains from her North Delta home, NoriNori & Kage will be playing the unofficial anthem of cherry-blossom season, "Sakura", at Cherry Jam. But you'll never have heard it like this.
"I've gone ahead and composed 'Sakura Variations', which I'm looking to debut at the Cherry Jam, just to spice things up," she says. "Like, there's a hard-rock version of 'Sakura', and then it goes into a kind of bluesy or jazzy version, and then a kind of a samba version, a little bit of punk rock. So I've had fun with 'Sakura' this year."
The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival casts new light on a Japanese tradition.
Lukasz Szczepanski
MNGWA's Japanese connection is a little harder to unearth, possibly even nonexistent. The East Van band is made up of five Russians, a Mexican, and a Canadian, and specializes in chicha, a rocked-up Peruvian version of Latin-American cumbia (with, of course, some Eastern European melodies thrown in). But the group's cross-cultural and celebratory sound is a perfect fit for Cherry Jam, and bassist Nick Lagasse says he's going to lobby hard to include its one seasonally appropriate number, "((sun))", in MNGWA's set.
"That song is insane. It mixes kind of prog-Latin music with a bit of bhangra, and then it has the [Vietnamese] dan bao over top of it," the Ottawa-born Lagasse says, laughing. "It's about the power and the beauty of the sun, but also about how the sun has the power to give life and take it away. It's our 'Stairway to Heaven', basically. It just throws so many styles into one song, but it's a good representation of what we can do."
Sonic and cultural diversity aren't the only Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival hallmarks: the nearly monthlong event embraces a wide variety of art forms and genres, as can be seen in textile artist Linda Coe's Haiku Quilt, the de facto centrepiece of the festival's Sakura Days events, at VanDusen Garden on April 13 and 14. Incorporating the five poems that won the 2018 edition of the festival's Haiku Invitational competition, it will also allow the public to have their own spontaneous, 17-syllable meditations on spring stitched into the fabric.
The Sakura Days events of this year's Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival will take place at VanDusen Garden.
Jonathan Nicomedes
"I wanted to make it as engaging and colourful and inviting as possible," says Coe from her East Van home, adding that the festival as a whole is also a kind of quilt, composed as it is of so many diverse cultural options.
"Regardless of how you connect to this particular festival, whether it's through being Japanese or knowing Japanese or whatever, the fact is that the trees are here, and they're beautiful," she says. "And they do kind of welcome spring; they welcome the new season in. It's a seasonal rebirth. And I know that's a bit trite, but they do make us feel good after the dreary winter months!"
The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival takes place at a variety of Vancouver locations from Thursday (April 4) to April 28. For a full schedule, visit the festival's website.

Ilhan Omar Calls Tucker Carlson 'Racist Fool' After He Names Her As Example Of 'Dangerous' Immigration Policies
Filed Under:Ilhan Omar, Minnesota Politics, Tucker Carlson
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Rep. Ilhan Omar called Fox News host Tucker Carlson a "racist fool" after the conservative commentator said on his nightly show that the Somalia-born congresswoman from Minnesota was "living proof" that the nation's immigration policies are "dangerous."
(credit: Zach Gibson/Getty Images)
Omar (D – 5th District) was responding to the show-ending segment of Carlson's Tuesday night primetime broadcast in which he lambasted the freshman congresswoman as being an immigrant who hates the country that elected her to a seat of power, referencing a recent Washington Post story.
"That should worry you," Carlson told his audience, adding later: "No country can import large numbers of people who hate it and expect to survive. The Romans were the last to try that, with predictable results."

Omar shot back on Twitter, saying it was "kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress."
She made it clear that she does not hate America.
"No lies will stamp out my love for this country or my resolve to make our union more perfect," she said, adding: "They will just have to get used to calling me Congresswoman!"
Not gonna lie, it's kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress 🤣🤣
No lies will stamp out my love for this country or my resolve to make our union more perfect.
They will just have to get used to calling me Congresswoman! https://t.co/nRS13yWivK
This is not the first time Carlson has taken aim at Omar. Earlier this year, he called her a "symbol of America's failed immigration system" and again described her as "someone who hates this country."
RELATED: Minnesota Lawmaker Calls For Ethics Investigation Into Rep. Ilhan Omar
Omar was born in Somalia and spent several years of her childhood in a refugee camp in Kenya. In 1997, her family moved to Minneapolis, where she got her start in local politics.
In 2016, she was elected to the Minnesota House, being becoming the first Somali-American legislator in the country. Just two years later, she was elected to Congress, where she became one of the first two Muslim congresswoman to serve in Washington.
Tim Neumann says:
Get rid of this worthless Congresswoman whose only agenda is playing the race card and using her Muslim religion as a shield
Virgil Anders says:
If I remember correctly her stated goal around the time she took office was a focus on health care. That was immediately dropped as she has played out her own personal agenda upon stepping into the House, has done nothing significant for Minnesota or the United States. From an independent voter to the Minnesota DFL – WAKE UP for you are going to loose big time in 2020.
Jason (@Jdwg78) says:
She is a danger to this country and I want her returned to the Somali-hell where she cometh from!!! She deserves nothing better, she hates this country while seething with hatred as she says she "loves" this country but wants to change it – into what? A Sharia compliant Islamic Republic?? She says anti-Semitic things constantly and uses reverse hate speech all the time!
