51-year-old Forrest Gordon Clark was arrested in southern California on suspicion of deliberate arson.
It is his police who are responsible for the fire in the mountains of southern California. This focus – one of the three epicenters of the California fires – was called "Saint", because the flame on this site is rising to the skies, resembling a biblical fire.
"Holy" has already destroyed more than 9.6 thousand acres of forest.
The court decided to elect him a measure of restraint in the form of detention and named the extremely high amount of possible collateral – $ 1 million.
As Orange County officials reported, Clarke e-mailed a threatening letter to the head of the local voluntary fire brigade. "This place will be burnt," the e-mail stated.
Clark resisted the arrest, so he was charged not only with arson, but also with terrorism and resistance at arrest.
The authorities say that the arson committed by Clark on Monday was the end of his longstanding dispute with his neighbors.
The fire destroyed all 12 nearby houses, except the house of Clark himself.
Forest fires this year have become the strongest in the history of California. Localize the fire – that is, stop the spread of fire, but do not extinguish it – it is possible only in half of the territory covered by flames. The fire will rage at least until the first week of September, the fire department said.
According to the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection of California, the fire covered 600 thousand acres and is still expanding. While firefighters control about five percent of the entire area of fire due to extremely high temperatures. The authorities expect that after a slight cold snap on the weekend firefighters will be able to work more actively.
This year's fires have three powerful centers – "Mendocino Complex", "Carr Fire" and "Saint".
The largest of them is the "Mendocino Complex Fire". To his education led the union of two separate large fires. In this area, in two weeks, the area covered by fire was level with the territory of Los Angeles.
In the south of the state from Monday, another hotbed of fire, called "Holy" (Holy Fire) is expanding. It was this ignition that occurred through Clark's fault, as the police believe.
Almost 14 thousand people take part in extinguishing fires, including firefighters from Arizona, Washington State and Alaska. They are assisted by the military, as well as specialists from Australia and New Zealand, who have specially trained in the United States for training in Idaho. To combat fire, aviation is used.
To extinguish fires attracted even prisoners. More than 1,000 prisoners with low relapse potential work on a voluntary basis and receive $ 2 a day, plus $ 1 for each hour of work.
Two firefighters suffered during the extinguishment of the "Holy" and are in the hospital.
It is not yet known what caused the ignition of the Mendocino Complex.
But the cause of the fire "Carr Fire" is already installed – it is the ignition of the flat tire. The spark from friction tires and asphalt on July 23 grew into a deadly fire, which has been raging for more than two weeks.
Prior to this, the largest fire in the history of the state was considered "Thomas Fire", which occurred in the districts of Santa Barbara and Ventura in 2017.

Artist Antoni Tàpies tells Martin Gayford he can make art out of anything - even socks
Above the roof of the Antoni Tàpies Foundation, in Barcelona, there rises what at first appears to be an enormous skein of tangled metal tubing nearly 13 metres high. As an abstract form it seems exhilarating, but in fact it is not abstract at all, as its title, Cloud and Chair, suggests.
This is a sculpture not only of that most unsculptural thing, a cloud, but also of an extremely unusual item to find in the sky, a chair. And that combination of the ordinary with the wildly imaginative is characteristic of its creator - as I discover when I visit him in his Spanish home.
Tàpies, who is now 82, is one of the major figures of post-war Spanish art. He belonged to a generation, in Europe and America, that took its inspiration from things raw and primitive - graffiti, stained walls, discarded cloth. He has affinities with Cy Twombly, another lover of scratching on walls, and the French artist Jean Dubuffet, exponent of art brut.
But Tàpies is also in some ways the direct successor of Antoni Gaudí and Joan Miró. Of the latter, he says: "I always considered him to be one of my masters, and we became very good friends. In fact, he helped me a lot."
About another Catalan giant, Salvador Dalí, he is more ambivalent. Dalí was an early Tàpies fan: "The first article about me published in America was by Dalí, and he wanted to collaborate with me on a painting." And, I ask, did that happen? "No," he replies. "I was against Dalí. He made statements in favour of Franco." This gives one of the clues to Tàpies's world.
He was 12 when the Spanish Civil War broke out. "I came from a very liberal family that was opposed to any kind of dictatorship, so we were very shocked by what happened," he says. "There were a lot of arrests, there was a lot of repression." A great deal of his life was lived under the Franco regime, to which he was vehemently opposed; in 1966 he was arrested at a clandestine assembly at Barcelona University. His work of the early 1970s is marked by symbols of Catalan identity (which was anathema to Franco).
"I have always loved Catalonia very much," he says. "My family has always lived here. My parents, my grandparents, great-grandparents - they all spoke Catalan." Catalan is the language in which he writes and his works are then translated into other languages, including Spanish. He thinks of his art as engaged with life. "I am totally convinced that I am doing useful work for society. If I did not think that, I would have given up long ago."
Tàpies's paintings of the 1940s were, he explains, in part a reaction to the fascist government. "I think you could say they were very, very primitive. I was extremely angry at the political situation at the time." At that point he began to use graffiti in his work, and to draw the cross (+) which remains a frequent motif. But though these pictures look rough and angry, they don't contain a simple message. The meaning of that cross, for example, is unclear. Is it a "t" - for Tàpies? Or could it be a plus sign, or a fundamental indicator of location or identity (x marks the spot, Kilroy was here), or a Christian symbol, or all of these? Tàpies won't say.
Characteristic of his work - and that of other Spanish and Catalan artists - is the use of extremely humble objects to express complex ideas and emotions. Thus Miró embodied his despair at the Civil War in a painting entitled Still Life with Old Shoe. Shoes also abound in Tàpies's work (there is a giant one, once a shop sign, on his sitting-room wall), as do feet, chairs, straw, clothes, hand-prints, excrement and, most fundamental of all, earth.
"Sometimes people have the idea that art should be highly refined. But I always believed that one could make art out of simple, humble things," he says. "Small things can be transcendental. They can change our way of looking at the world. I think it's important to make art out of almost anything."
One of Tàpies's paintings is entitled Matter in the Form of a Foot. An old shoe, a chair or a foot are as mysterious as anything else. In the early 1950s he tried to make his art more material: thicker and more sculptural. He experimented with mixtures of materials such as sand, marble dust and varnish to produce a thick paste more like clay than paint. Through this he cuts with carpentry or bricklaying tools to create a mark.
These so-called "matter paintings" vary. Sometimes the surface is like skin, sometimes like a cracked plaster wall (Tàpies is fascinated by walls). Dalí thought the effect resembled the skin of a rhinoceros, which was to be the subject of the joint work he proposed. On occasion the picture is made with soil gathered near Tàpies's house in the country - literally the earth of Catalonia.
Tàpies's art might be taken as representative of two qualities described, in Robert Hughes's book Barcelona, as the twin poles of the Catalan temperament. One is "seny", or rational good sense; the other is "rauxa", or utterly over-the-top wildness. His work contains earth and is preoccupied by feet, but at the same time is full of mysticism and metaphysics. "With time I've come to see the unity of all things," says Tàpies. "That the cosmos is a mass of matter struggling with itself, positive and negative." That chair floating in the cloud above his foundation represents artistic meditation.
'Antoni Tàpies' is at Waddington Galleries, London W1 (020 7851 2200), until April 22.

#IGotCast With Backstage: Inga Leps
By Benjamin Lindsay | Last Updated: Sep. 24, 2020, 09:40 PM
Photo Source: Maria Petrova
Writer-director Chris Bonafede needed a beautiful, elegant, and, most important, mysterious leading lady to play the titular antiheroine in his short film "Sivan." With New York–based actor Inga Leps, he got just that.
"There's a power within her that's quite terrifying, but also a tenderness that's disarming," Leps says of the role, a mistress plotting with her wealthy businessman lover to kill his wife. "It was an absolute joy to play someone so multidimensional.... Working on this project was fantastic."
Leps has starred in several short films since beginning her screen acting career in 2010. She describes Backstage, which she's been reading since moving to New York City three years ago, as her "go-to."
"It's very simple to use—you have all the necessary information at hand, [and a] great variety of opportunities. Plus, you know that if a casting is posted on Backstage, you can rely on its authenticity," Leps says. "I used Backstage to post casting calls as well, and thoroughly enjoyed that process. Every working actor must have a Backstage profile. It's one of the most essential components to building your career."

(re)peat
1. cypremort/sip her more: thirst
The spears, the spires I aspired to be as reaching because what
did you know about tapers. When I told her I wanted to inhabit
I was thinking about the cypress trees we spiral, I was thinking
about how we spiral, how I was thinking about the spine—it's called
its column. It's culled and the vertebral residue afterward
is afterward and holes like basins.
Home to bald wood bone, they call them knees
but that was before we didn't know if they breathed.
2. sudden, oak ache
Bark and canker, the open sore leaking a forestry
now when it's too late for dieback. Now it's too late
to clear the thrush, bleeding floor flush with the ground
because we can never stop touching, a filling
the hollows with our hands or caulk or anything.
Everything here is mortal and modal like
the motel dying a northwest death.
3. spike moss/maws, revival
Her body opened like herb
curled as a stoneflower. False
rose in desert, desiccated, she doesn't
die, she doesn't
know thirst. She's wet and swells a root
cure so I try to
refuse her I try
to infuse her extract
she's exactly
fern and foreign
and most
she's moss.

Fairy tales have often presented me with gendered narratives to resist or to respond to—even since childhood. (Example: when I went trick-or-treating after Disney released Beauty and the Beast I insisted on going as the Beast, not as Belle.) What I value most about folklore and storytelling is that, through stories, we can rewrite and reimagine bodies—and bodies of work and culture. That's what the speaker in "(re)peat" is aspiring—and spiraling—to do. (I would be remiss if I didn't also mention that when I was sixteen I wrote a song entitled "Fairy Tale.")


Jonathan Shaw: I will answer the hon. Gentleman's point, if he will allow me. This is an important issue about the transitional arrangements, which several hon. Members raised. Existing claimants of AA and DLA will continue to have the flexibility to spend the resource as they wish. The other important point is that we are providing flexibility in terms of a number of different budget headings for the same reasons that a number of hon. Members put forward to explain why AA and DLA are a good thing. That is happening. Saying that the provision of those resources is "constrained" and characterising it as such is wrong.
Jonathan Shaw: No, I will not give way to the right hon. Gentleman for the moment, because I want to address some important points that were put to me.
Jonathan Shaw: If he will sit down, I will proceed with my answer. I will come on to deal with other points- [Interruption.] I will give way to the shadow spokesman first and then to the right hon. Member for Charnwood (Mr. Dorrell).
Mr. Harper: I am still not sure that the Minister has answered the question put earlier by my right hon. Friend. He knows that with individual budgets, people cannot spend the money entirely how they want because they have to agree that the spending will meet their care needs. At the moment, DLA and AA can be spent on anything they want, with a completely free choice, so will the Minister confirm that all the money people receive under the new system can be spent exactly how they choose to spend it?
Jonathan Shaw: During the transitional arrangements, people in receipt of AA and DLA will, when it comes from the local authority, have that cash sum as well as their flexibility protected-along the lines that hon. Ladies and Gentlemen are inquiring about. I hope that I have now satisfied them on that point.
Mr. Dorrell: A moment ago, the Minister appeared to argue that a cash-limited local authority social services budget was no more constrained than an entitlement-led White Paper budget. Is that really his position?
Jonathan Shaw: I did not say that at all. I was referring to the flexibility with which people could spend the resources available to them.
Let me respond to some of the points that have been made. The hon. Member for Northavon (Steve Webb) made a thoughtful speech exposing the cynicism with which the Conservative party has been scaremongering around the country with press releases. He also asked important questions about arrangements for the work force. We shall need to address ourselves to some of those details in the White Paper, especially the relationship between disability living allowance and attendance allowance and other benefits. Other Members also mentioned the work force. We have seen progress since the Care Standards Act 2000. At the time of its introduction, 80 per cent. of the 1 million or so work force had no qualifications. We have increased the number of people with qualifications by 20 per cent.
The hon. Member for Northavon referred to carer's allowance in particular. We have been working with carers as well. Many want to work, but find the benefits system confusing. That is why organisations such as the Princess Royal Trust for Carers and Carers UK have welcomed the work of our care partnership managers in Jobcentre Plus. About £20 million has been invested to ensure that they combine all the support mechanisms, ensuring that there is good information for carers so that they can join the labour market.
Mr. Harper: Will the Minister give way on that point?
Jonathan Shaw: I will give way briefly, but that will be it.
Mr. Harper: I am grateful to the Minister. Can he confirm that those whose full social care needs are met by local authorities will also continue to receive their attendance allowance and disability living allowance? Will those allowances be fully protected?
Jonathan Shaw: Yes, they will.
My right hon. Friend the Member for Stirling rightly referred to the scaremongering of Conservative Members. She spoke of the need to secure for a consensus of the kind that we secured for pension reform, and I hope that that happens. We saw the beginnings of it in the debate. The right hon. Member for Charnwood spoke of the need for reform, but did not refer to the need to pay for it.
Along with a number of other Members, I set out the issues relating to a changing demography. We need to find the necessary resources. We have included in the Green Paper options that would provide far more support for care than is provided at present. The current system involves ever more constraint, and if we continue as we are, the constraint and means-testing will continue to increase. Our proposals provide some solutions that can be debated throughout the country.
Opposition Members asked about devolution. Of course it is right for us to have discussions with the Scottish and Welsh Assembly Governments. Any settlement under the new system will have to take account of social care and health, which are devolved matters.
I perceived a lack of support for local authorities. I think that they do a very good job, but it was only my hon. Friend the Member for Kingswood who talked of the good work that they do. We often characterise all local authorities by highlighting poor performance. That is why we need a national care service. Disabled people's organisations that support such a service speak of the difference in service from one town to another. They have drawn attention to the need for portability, which does not currently exist, and the struggle that they have to undertake to obtain services. They do not want to have to jump through such hoops again. Our proposals give them the opportunity that they want.
Persons Act 1970-the first legislation introduced to provide rights and services for disabled people not just in this country but anywhere in the world-and that that is thanks to the first Minister for disabled people, Lord Morris.
The hon. Gentleman was right to observe that as time has gone on, we have given people more choice and control so that they can be the architects of the support that they receive. Adult social care is an important component of people's independence, which is why we need it to be more available rather than perpetuating the present constraint.
My hon. Friend the Member for Crawley (Laura Moffatt), who brought her professional knowledge to the debate, had held consultations in her constituency. As I have found in my travels around the country, it is interesting to sit down and engage in a calm and clear debate, helping people to understand the demographic issues that the country faces and the need to find solutions.
The hon. Member for Norwich, North (Chloe Smith) made a measured contribution to the debate. She talked of the need for flexibility, and I agreed with what she said. She talked of meeting someone in her constituency who was blind. She will know that the Government have accepted an amendment from my hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow, North-West (John Robertson) which will increase disability living allowance for totally blind people from 2011.
The hon. Member for Glasgow, East (John Mason) said that he did not trust the Tories. In 1979, the Tories made no reference to the fact that they would cut pensions when they got into power. I think that buyers will need to be extremely wary. We have heard very little from those on the Tory Front Bench, or indeed from the Tories in general, about what they expect from a future social care system. We have heard nothing about domiciliary care. We have heard some half-baked ideas about residential care, which fell apart from one day to the next and did not stand up to even the slightest scrutiny. The hon. Member for South Cambridgeshire (Mr. Lansley) smiles, but I think that even he acknowledges that.
What did the Tories give pensioners? They gave them 18 months in which to wait for an operation, whereas our party gave them a maximum of 18 weeks. They produced pensioner poverty, whereas our party produced pension credit. We provided bus passes, but all that we have seen from the Tory party is cynicism and scaremongering. They have focused-as they prefer to-on the 3,000 richest estates for which they want to provide tax cuts. I urge my right hon. and hon. Friends to vote for the amendment.
Mr. Andrew Robathan (Blaby) (Con) claimed to move the c losure (Standing Order No. 36).


All officers from the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) to Inspector-General of Police, will henceforth declare their assets, the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, has declared.
Idris made the statement on Thursday in Abuja when he paid a courtesy visit to the Minister of Interior, Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (retd).
He said that the directive was in line with Section 13 cap 15 Code of Conduct Act.
"Every police officer from the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police to Inspector-General who are commission officers must declare their assets," Idris said.
"I assure you sir, that we will raise the integrity of the Nigeria Police Force to be more accountable to the people," he said.
He said that the presence of police officers would be felt in all villages and streets across the country.
"You have a lot of challenges as the chief law officer of the country," he said.
The minister urged the new police boss to collaborate with other security agencies to address the issues crimes and post conflict resolution in the North-East.
"The post conflict resolution in the North-East has to be comprehensive and holistic,"he said.
"No matter how smart you think you are, you cannot do it alone without the support of others,"he said, and advised Idris to make the welfare of his officers a priority.
In his inaugural speech, Idris said that the police under his administration would be guided by the international core values of policing.


Springfield, MO – Renew Biomass and New Energy Farms (Leamington, Ontario) recently announced their long-term partnership agreement in which New Energy Farms will provide Renew Biomass with high-quality Miscanthus planting material.
The supply agreement will commence in January 2016, for the upcoming planting season. Renew Biomass will plant a rate of 10,000 rhizomes per acre in Central and Southwest Missouri. "This planting rate is more than two times the rate the University of Illinois recommends. Renew Biomass is dedicated to helping our farmers have a successful establishment," said Renew Biomass Director of Agriculture, Eric Allphin.
"We chose to partner with New Energy Farms (Leamington, ON) instead of producing our own planting material because they offer a superior product at a great price. This allows us to shave our costs and learn from their expertise," said Allphin.
New Energy Farms has developed a planting technology called CEEDSTM which consists of carefully primed and encapsulated planting material. With this technology, Miscanthus can be planted using conventional planting equipment, and has the added advantage of being a vehicle to apply crop protection and growth promoting products during crop establishment.
"As New Energy Farms transitions to CEEDSTM, we will transition with them," said Allphin.
Renew Biomass provides eco-friendly biomass products, processed from Miscanthus at our state-of-the-art facility, for a variety of applications. From the farmers that we work with to the companies that purchase our products, we are dedicated to building successful relationships. For more information about Renew Biomass contact 417.720.1216 or visit renewbiomass.com.
New Energy Farms is a technology company, focused on providing biomass and energy crop feedstock supply projects with cost effective and innovative planting material from the wide range of biomass crops within the NEF portfolio.

I have been wanting to do some form of curtain panels ever since I found the Nester's blog (which by the way she rocks), but the only kind I could semi afford just happened to be these checked ones that I was secretly coveting at our local Wal-mart (I know I know....Wally World don't judge me), but even at $20 bucks a pop it was still to much for my lowly budget. But.... Whilest shopping at our local Wal-Mart on ♥Day guess what I saw was on CLEARANCE!
Yup, my ever coveted Malaga Check Better Homes & Gardens curtain panels.
So in my cart they went, I actually bought 4 panels but I ended up taking 2 of them back so now I am going to cut the 2 in half and I'll get 4 panels for the price of 2. Look at me being all thrifty, yeah I'm cool like that. :) j/k The full blown panel was just too much fabric for my skinny farm house windows. I will be adding some fabric to the bottom of the panel because right now the window looks like it's sporting some Steve Urkel high waters. So I'll have to do a big reveal soon but for now I just thought I would throw out a small teaser & a stupid story aren't you glad you read my blog...... :):) Have a Happy Monday!
Funny how my small, sad, pathetic curtains that have been hanging far too long actually match the new panels. Just goes to show you that I don't stray far from what I love. :) Yeah I know I'm a total nerd.
Yeah, I know another random post but hey I'm posting right? :) This is what we did when the kids got home from school today.
It's nothing amazing, but when you have 90+ Valentines to do you go for what is easy! So this year I tried something new and purchased these all from Etsy they sell them as PDF files so you can print all you want (love that).
Well again I find that I really have nothing to blog about. For the past month now All and I mean ALL 5 of my kids have been sick and I'm not joking... In fact Jentry had to come home from school yesterday because he was feeling sick to his stomach and true to form for this Flu that has been lingering in our home far too long, the flu won and he is home again today, all this on top of severe colds.
Corbin is hacking up his last lung as is Parker, Brinley & Addison. I think they may be getting a little better thanks to the Nebulizer that has been smoking away for days.
I have not been able to work on my little project for my friend Ellen. But I did finish up an Etsy order for my stick people for a family of 8, and I'm working on another right now for a family of 4. I guess I'm getting some stuff done just not enough, I feel like I'm barely hanging on.
This is me last night tired & with some very red eye's might I add. Why is it that the only pictures that are taken of me are taken by me?...... What's up with that! Don't mind the fat face, I'm working on it.
Okay on to more Randomness, enter the play panels (aka before the ick). I won the fabric town panel from Quilt Taffy (thanks:) and on the other side is a train scene (which I purchased) & then I sewed the 2 together and can I just say it was worth every penny!
He loves them and so do I, they take up no room at all and it travels ever so nicely. Plus the fact that it can entertain for HOURS a total A+ in my book! Hopefully my little man will be back to his fun little self soon and I can see more of this.
I don't know if they still carry these little panels but if you can find them and your little guy likes to play with cars and trains I say buy them you'll be glad you did!
Then my mailman who I now ♥ (sorry Lloyd) :) brought me some fun mail today. While all this sick has been going on, I felt the need to buy something, so I hopped on Amazon and bought this book.
Yeah I know it's so Cliche', but I love it! Every time we go to eat at my cousin Donna's house she makes the best food and every time she tells me she got the recipe from this book. So I decided it was time for me to buy it.
So a little research, a debit card and $13.99 later I'm the proud owner of a book that will tell me the secrets to all things Jell-O!
I promise to post more about nothing later!
I know, I know you can hardly wait!
I know I have been missing from Blogdom for a while, but that's because I finished Addison's quilt, I finished my TV hutch and have been project-less for a few days. Yes I have found that when my dark cloud is hanging overhead having some form of "project" to do has been good for me.

The Reasons Why Married Women Cheat on Their Husbands
What is it that drives women to cheat, and what can men do to prevent it? An infidelity researcher weighs in.
By Jeremy Brown
Updated Sep 22 2021, 12:11 PM
Most married couples don't ever imagine their relationship ending in infidelity. But the truth is that cheating can rock even the happiest marriages. There are so many different reasons why women cheat. The same applies to husbands. Loneliness might play a major role in affairs, as do boredom and alcohol. Sometimes a close relationship with a colleague is taken too far during a long night at the office. Other times a spouse turns to infidelity to fill a physical or emotional void left unfilled by their partner. But the root causes with every individual relationship. Figuring out why some wives cheat on their husbands is worth looking into.
"We have this idea socially that men are cheaters, all men are susceptible to cheating, that men are dogs, right?" says Alicia M. Walker, an associate professor of sociology at Missouri State University. "But the data tells a very different story."
In the process of writing her book, The Secret Life of the Cheating Wife: Power, Pragmatism, and Pleasure in Women's Infidelity, Walker learned that women cheat at the same rates as men, if not more. Turns out, the cheating wife is not an anomaly. And depending on the age group and behavior, sometimes women cheat even more often than men. "Way more women are cheating than we think," she says. "We just don't like to talk about it and we don't like to think about it. You don't want to think that your neighbor, your Sunday school teacher, or your friend is doing this. But the reality is, you know a woman who's cheating, you just don't know that she is."
Why Do Women Cheat?
So why do women cheat? Some women cheat to avoid boredom; other women cheat because they feel neglected. Still, other women say they cheat just because they want to. The reasons for infidelity are complex and unique to each relationship. Walker makes clear, there's no one specific reason for infidelity within a marriage.
"A lot of the time the reasons are physical, sometimes they're emotional, and, sometimes, as much as we don't want to admit this or know this, sometimes it's just a matter of somebody having an opportunity," says Walker. "There's a lot of data showing that a woman will have an affair with a coworker and are more likely to report that 'My marriage is great and I'm super satisfied. I literally saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.'"
The concept of a cheating wife contrasts a lot with what our culture tells us about women. To many, the thought triggers stronger reactions than that of a cheating man, which is more expected based on historical norms. "We want to think of women as not particularly sexual unless they're deeply in love or they're married or in some monogamous relationship of some kind," Walker says. "We just don't want to think that women are just as sexual and just as interested in having sex with multiple partners or a variety of partners or they get bored with marital sex."
What to Do About Cheating in Marriage
Given the emotional and financial tolls of cheating, (not to mention their impact on children, which is bigger still) rethinking our preconceptions about female infidelity is only the beginning. Open minds are important, but when it comes to preventing infidelity, communication is paramount. All relationships need to begin with honest conversations about sex, preferably before marriage.
"Something that some of the women in my study brought up that I never thought about was that when they were searching for an affair partner, they were having these candid, frank discussions about sexual compatibility and sexual preferences," says Walker. "When I got married, I never had any of these conversations, and I started thinking, 'You know, that's true, we don't have those conversations.' We kind of wander into these romantic pairings and we fall in love and we kind of think that the sex is going to take care of itself. But, according to the data, that's not true."
First, it's important to be open to what your spouse is interested in. A lot of the women Walker interviewed said that when they talked freely about their fantasies or desires to their husbands, they were met with disgust that made them feel ashamed. Cheating presented them with an opportunity to feel validated and accepted.
"It was really pretty sobering, to be honest with you," Walker says. "This is a person who's pledged to love you for all time and you say to them, 'Hey, I want to try role-playing,' or whatever it is, and then think about having the person that you love and trust the most say, 'That's disgusting. What's wrong with you?' If you listen to that for years, and then in walks somebody who's not only like, 'That's not disgusting,' but they're into it, you can see how attractive that would be."
Infidelity Versus Open Marriages
In conducting her research, Walker was surprised to also learn that a lot of the women that she interviewed were interested in the prospect of an open marriage.
"They don't want to leave their husband, they love their husband, they've got a great life, but what they really want is variety in their sexual partners," she says. "It's not just, 'Oh, I want my husband, and I want this one affair,' it's: 'I want my husband and I want to taste all the parts of the menu!' "
Walker also discovered that most cheating wives see the act as an exercise in power. Old-fashioned chivalry feeds into socially accepted norms that can put women into subordinate roles early on in the relationship. For women who cheat, infidelity can feel like a means of taking back that power.
"They always felt like they had been chosen, rather than choosing themselves," she says. "And then they go online to Ashley Madison, or any other site, and there are all these men, and now they're choosing rather than being chosen."
They're given the opportunity to have autonomy over their relationship in a way that many of them have been stripped of within their relationships, despite being otherwise fulfilled in other realms. In the end, attentiveness is the key. When you're with your spouse, Walker says it's vital to make sure you're thinking of her needs as well as your own. If you're not, some could feel compelled to look elsewhere.
"Any man who is concerned about this," she says, "you should really start looking at your own behavior in the bedroom and really make sure that you're holding up your end of the table. Because, if you're not, there's somebody out there who's more than willing to do that."

A Birdland Salute to Manny Machado
Manny Machado is the best player to play for the Orioles in the 21st century. We'll never see anyone like him again. As his career goes elsewhere, we salute him and remember the good times.

Share All sharing options for: A Birdland Salute to Manny Machado
Let us remember Manny how he chose to look, no matter how ridiculous we find it.

All good things must come to an end. The truth of this is never more clear on a day where we must bid farewell to Manny Machado, Oriole. When he arrived in 2012 on Wei-Yin Chen t-shirt night, his time with the O's seemed as limitless as his talent. Day by day the time grew shorter, until finally after one last All-Star appearance, the O's place in the cellar meant there was no choice but to trade him.
Machado came to us from Miami, the third overall pick in the draft, a stroke of luck for the Orioles from the very beginning thanks to the Pirates drafting pitcher Jameson Taillon, who has never been as good, at #2. He was the fourth straight Orioles pick in the top five of the draft. Others were never quite as good as they were said to be. Machado, on the other hand, was even better.
The truth is that we may never see a baseball player as good as Machado in these parts again. We will probably never see one better. They do not come along every day. Even when you draft high, as the Orioles will next year, you are not guaranteed to find such players. Machado could hit, he could field, and when paired with his good buddy Jonathan Schoop, could make you happy just from his mere existence.
Breaking him down to the numbers he accumulated while he was here is almost unfair. He was so much more than just the numbers. They're great, though. His Orioles tenure closes - barring a surprise signing this offseason or unexpected late career return - with a .283/.335/.487 batting line, almost a thousand hits, 162 home runs, four All-Star appearances, two top-5 MVP finishes, and two Gold Gloves.
Machado might have had more of everything if not for the two knee surgeries. As it is, he accumulated 30.9 bWAR over the seven years of his O's career. That's good for 11th most in the history of the Orioles franchise, ahead of some great Orioles like Ken Singleton, Brian Roberts, Al Bumbry, and Rick Dempsey.
Simply put, Machado is one of the best to ever put on this uniform and if his career stays on this track he could one day find himself in Cooperstown. He is that good. He was ours to follow and cheer for but now he will be heading elsewhere. That is the way it goes.
A wealth of choices are available for the best Machado moment as an Oriole. If you like clutch hitting, he had you covered because he was so good at hitting. If it's defense that gives you the vapors, I don't think you need me to give you the highlight reel to remember it all.
For my money, it's tough to beat "Don't throw it away! DON'T THROW IT AT ALL!"
Although at the same time, it's also tough to beat that time he made like Brooks Robinson and threw out some poor Yankee from foul territory, with the guy only being able to stare on in bewilderment:
That is from 2013, where Machado's defense at third base was so good that they had to make a brand new award, the Platinum Glove, just to give to him to denote that he was even better than every other Gold Glove winner. That's not true, of course - they didn't make it up just for Machado. But that's what I believe anyway and you'll never convince me otherwise.
Do you have a different favorite Machado moment? Please share it with us in the comments below so we can all relive the best of Machado.
I canceled plans to go see Machado's debut. It just felt like the beginning of something special. He hit a triple and the Orioles lost, but the rest of that 2012 season went pretty well.
It's hard to remember now, but there were loud voices in the baseball chattering class who advocated for the Orioles to trade for Chase Headley to solve their third base problem. They made the aggressive choice, instead, to promote their top shortstop prospect and make him a third baseman. From the day the O's called him up at age 20, they finished the season 33-18, nearly winning the division and qualifying for the playoffs for the first time in 14 years.
Machado was the difference-maker. Without him, perhaps the O's would have still been good for a while, but they never could have been as good. Now, they have to hope that the return they got in trade for Machado can be the difference-maker for the future.
Manny was drafted. He played. He will always be Birdland.
With the trade of Machado, the Orioles are down to just nine remaining players from the 2014 division-winning O's team. Of the 2012 wild card winners, a mere six remain. The day draws closer where there will be no current connection to those great O's teams.

Q: HTML - How to translate page content using Javascript? I am doing the following in order to translate my HTML page:

Hello world

This is a translated text!

  About

const translations = {
  "es": () => ({
    "title": "¡Hola mundo!",
    "subtitle": "¡Este texto ha sido traducido!",
    "routes": {
      "aboutPage": "Sobre",
    }
  }),
  ...
}

const t = _.memoize(
  (
    scope,
    language = getNavigatorLanguage() ?? DEFAULT_LANGUAGE,
    fallbackLanguage = DEFAULT_LANGUAGE,
    fallbackText = ""
  ) => {
    const formattedLocale = language.split(/[-_]/)[0]; // Short version: "en", "es", "it"...

    const translation = // fallback
      (translationGetters[formattedLocale] ?? translationGetters[fallbackLanguage])();

    return (
      _.get(translation, scope) ??
      _.get(translationGetters[DEFAULT_LANGUAGE](), scope, fallbackText)
    );
  },
  (...args) => JSON.stringify(args)
);

$(() => {
  $("*[data-key='paragraph-1']").text(t("title"));
  $("*[data-key='paragraph-2']").text(t("subtitle"));
  $("*[data-key='aboutPage']").text(t("routes.aboutPage"));
});

I come from React Native, where I could simply do:
<Text>
  {t("routes.aboutPage")}
</Text>

But I am not sure if it is a good practice (maybe is wrong for SEO or just not good) to do something like this on HTML:

Would I have to use selectors in order translate all my content? Any advices?

A: STEP 1: Create Translation Function
Let create a new JavaScript file called "translate.js" and then write code to get translation text from JSON file in folder lng based on the selected language.
 function Translate() {
    //initialization
    this.init =  function(attribute, lng){
        this.attribute = attribute;
        this.lng = lng;
    }
    //translate
    this.process = function(){
        _self = this;
        var xrhFile = new XMLHttpRequest();
        //load content data
        xrhFile.open("GET", "lng/"+this.lng+".json", false);
        xrhFile.onreadystatechange = function ()
        {
            if(xrhFile.readyState === 4)
            {
                if(xrhFile.status === 200 || xrhFile.status == 0)
                {
                    var LngObject = JSON.parse(xrhFile.responseText);
                    var allDom = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
                    for(var i =0; i < allDom.length; i++){
                        var elem = allDom[i];
                        var key = elem.getAttribute(_self.attribute);
                        if(key != null) {
                            elem.innerHTML = LngObject[key]  ;
                        }
                    }

                }
            }
        }
        xrhFile.send();
    }
}

STEP 2: Switch Language Function
Create a new JavaScript file named "index.js" to begin the translation process
//This function will be called when user click changing language
function translate(lng, tagAttr){
    var translate = new Translate();
    translate.init(tagAttr, lng);
    translate.process();
    if(lng == 'en'){
      $("#enTranslator").css('color', '#f4623a');
      $("#khTranslator").css('color', '#212529');
    }
    if(lng == 'kh'){
      $("#khTranslator").css('color', '#f4623a');
      $("#enTranslator").css('color', '#212529');
    }
}
$(document).ready(function(){
  //This is id of HTML element (English) with attribute lng-tag
  $("#enTranslator").click(function(){
    translate('en', 'lng-tag');
  });
  //This is id of HTML element (Khmer) with attribute lng-tag
  $("#khTranslator").click(function(){
    translate('kh', 'lng-tag');
  });
});

STEP 3: Define Your Translation Text in JSON
Let define translation text in JSON file as below

STEP 4: Embed Translation into Your Website

*

*Import both JavaScript file "index.js" and "translate.js" to HTML page

*

*Set selected language when first loading the page

*

*Define HTML element with attribute "lng-tag" for the text you wanted to be translated and value of attribute is the key which define in JSON file

Here is the static website which implements the above method to translate language between Khmer (CAMBODIAN) and English https://praject.co/

MPC Section 617 Enables Private Enforcement Actions for Violations of Any Ordinance Created Under the MPC
In this appeal from the Court of Common Pleas of Blair County, the Commonwealth Court was asked to determine whether § 617 of the Municipalities Planning Code ("MPC") permits a private cause of action to enforce a SALDO violation. In reversing the trial court's determination, the Court held that MPC § 617 permits private enforcement actions for violations of any ordinance established pursuant to the MPC.
City's Determination That an Application was Complete Rendered the Pending Ordinance Doctrine Inapplicable
In this zoning appeal originating before the Zoning Board of Adjustment in Philadelphia, the Commonwealth Court was asked to determine the applicability of the pending ordinance doctrine when post submission revisions have been made to plans after the proposed zoning amendment is deemed pending by the Zoning Ordinance. In finding that the doctrine did not apply, the court concluded that the determination of the Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections ("L&I") that the application was complete when filed, overcame objecting neighbors' arguments that the revisions made the doctrine applicable.
Transient Lodging Enterprise Permitted under Single Family Residential Dwelling Use
In this appeal out of Monroe County, the Commonwealth Court was asked to determine whether the ZHB and Court of Common Pleas of Monroe County properly interpreted the Township's Zoning Ordinance as excluding transient lodging enterprises in districts where only a single-family dwelling use was permitted. In reversing the trial court's affirmation of the ZHB's decision, the Court found that such a use, pursuant to the definitions in the Ordinance, was permitted.
Court Approval Required for Borough to Sell Public Park for Mixed Use Development
In this opinion by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, the Court was asked to determine whether three statutory provisions — the "Donated or Dedicated Property Act" ("DDPA"), the "Project 70 Land Acquisition and Borrowing Act" ("Project 70 Act"), and the Eminent Domain Code — permitted Downingtown Borough (the "Borough") to sell Borough owned and maintained parkland to private Developers, and to grant Developers easements over portions retained by the Borough. In reversing and remanding the Commonwealth Court's decision, the Court held the Eminent Domain Code was inapplicable to the Borough's right to sell properties acquired by condemnation, and court approval was required to sell properties acquired with Project 70 Act funds and to grant easements across park land pursuant to DDPA.
City Not Immune from Liability for Negligence of City Employees During Excavation That Caused Collapse of Utility's Conduit Bank
In this appeal out of Berks County, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court was asked to construe the language of the utility service facilities exception ("Utility Exception") to governmental immunity contained in the Political Subdivision Tort Claims Act ("Tort Claims Act"). Finding the Commonwealth Court erred by not applying the Utility Exception, the Court reversed.
Diversion of Oil and Gas Proceeds to General Fund Was Violation of Environmental Rights Amendment
In this direct appeal from a decision of the Commonwealth Court, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that the text of the Environmental Rights Amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution (Art. 1, § 27) was the appropriate standard of judicial review for determining the constitutionality of Commonwealth agency actions. In so ruling, the Court expressly rejected the balancing test established by the Commonwealth Court in Payne v. Kassab, 312 A.2d 86 (Pa. Commw. 1973), which had been used for decades to determine whether state action was in violation of the Environmental Rights Amendment.
Motor Vehicle Recordings Created By Police at Accident Scenes Not Exempt From Disclosure under RTKL and CHRIA
In this appeal from the final determination of the Office of Open Records ("OOR") the Pennsylvania Supreme Court determined that motor vehicle recordings ("MVRs") created by Pennsylvania State Police ("PSP") officers responding to an auto accident were not per se protected from disclosure under the Right-to-Know Law ("RTKL") as "criminal investigative records," nor were they per se protected "investigative records" under the Criminal History Record Information Act ("CHRIA").
Mandamus Actions Appropriate Vehicle to Enforce Unappealed OOR Determinations
In this petition to enforce a final determination of the Office of Open Records ("OOR") the Commonwealth Court was asked to determine how can enforce OOR determinations where no appeal has been taken of that determination. The Court concluded that a mandamus action, not a petition to enforce, was the appropriate legal vehicle, but found no error in the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County's denial of the petition on the merits.
Information Voluntarily Submitted to an Agency and Not Needed to Perform the Agency's Duties Was Not a "Record" Under the RTKL
In this appeal from a determination of the Office of Open Records (OOR), the Commonwealth Court found that information voluntarily submitted to a Commonwealth agency and which was not needed by the agency to perform its duties, did not constitute a "record" under the RTKL. As such, the requested information did not have to be disclosed.


Jaguar Land Rover recalls 69,000 SUVs and cars to replace Takata airbags and lightbulb housings.
June 5, 2016 — Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 69,000 vehicles in two recalls involving Takata airbags and the housings for small lightbulbs. The lightbulb housing recall is simple, but nothing has been simple about Takata and its exploding airbags.
As with many recent Takata recalls, Jaguar Land Rover's recall is based on different "zones" of the country.
The Takata airbag recalls include about 54,340 sports sedans and SUVs that need the passenger-side airbag inflators replaced. The metal inflators are at risk of exploding because of problems with the explosive chemical ammonium nitrate.
The recalled vehicles for zone A are the 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rover SUV and 2009-2011 Jaguar XF sports sedan.
The Takata recall involves airbag modules and inflators used as both original and replacement equipment. Vehicles not originally sold or ever registered in the locations above are not included in the recall.
Jaguar Land Rover doesn't know when it will have the needed replacement airbag parts, so owners should watch for interim notification letters around July 31, 2016. The automaker will mail a second notice when replacement parts are available.
Jaguar Land Rover's Takata airbag recall numbers are J069 and P081.
Jaguar Land Rover is recalling more than 14,700 model year 2015-2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport SUVs because the small lightbulbs that illuminate the license plates can fall out of their housings.
It doesn't sound like a big deal until you're pulled over for driving without an illuminated license plate. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the Land Rover Discovery Sport SUVs are in violation of federal safety standards because of the faulty light fixtures.
Land Rover says the recalled Discovery Sport SUVs were built September 17, 2014, to March 5, 2016.
The recall will begin June 27, 2016, when dealers will replace both rear license plate light housings.
The 2015-2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport SUV license plate lightbulb housing recall number is P077.
Owners of any of the recalled vehicles may call the automaker at 800-637-6837.
CarComplaints.com has owner-reported complaints about Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles.


Taste: Sweet, slightly bitter, musky, nutty taste. More often used for the color it imparts rather than the flavor.
Look: Orange root (when fresh) and an orange-yellow powder when dried.
Smell: Bright yet earthy scent.
An essential component of most curries, vegetables, dals, meat, poultry and fish dishes.
Often used as a coloring agent.
Pairs well with allspice, black pepper, caraway, cardamom, cinnamon, coconut, ginger, and onion.
Raw turmeric is a bit harsh. To mellow out the flavors, head oil in a pan and sprinkle with turmeric. Stir with a wooden spoon so that it doesn't burn. If you cannot smell its aromatic perfume, then the turmeric is expired.
Turmeric is not recommended for dairy dishes, since it masks its flavor.
Turmeric is used for dye, so be careful around your clothes. And do not be surprised if cutting the fresh root leaves some yellow on your fingers or using the powdered in a dish stains a Tupperware.
Anti-cancer, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory (curcumin).
Prevents heart disease, Alzheimers, and arthritis.
Purifies the blood and increases circulation.

When buyers kick the tires of a potential business acquisition, they usually request a three-year past earnings history. But this report doesn't always tell the whole story: non-recurring expenses (i.e., expenses the new owner shouldn't expect to encounter) could make these earnings appear less impressive than they actually are.
Let's say you had to throw out thousands of pre-printed labels because of changing regulations, or that you had to ditch an order of damaged goods. These types of write-offs aren't likely to happen on a regular basis, so be sure to point them out to potential buyers.
You can't assume that your business's future owner will run the show just like you, especially when it comes to non-operating expenses, such as season tickets for sporting events, company vehicles, and travel-related costs. For example, you may have entertained clients at an executive suite at Target Field, but your successor may not see the value in this expenditure. Identifying these types of expenses can show potential buyers a straightforward pathway to an immediate profit increase.
The salaries of a business's owners and officers can affect its bottom line. So if a salary in your company could be considered excess or if a lower one could replace it, consider making note of this for potential buyers. By doing so, you can better illustrate your company's cash flow.
Do you provide health and dental coverage, a retirement plan, or pension plan contributions for your employees? You may see these benefits as essential, but a potential buyer may think differently. For this reason, consider detailing the costs of each.
Another way to support your asking price is to call out any sources of recurring revenue. For example, if you have a backlog or annual contracts, make sure potential buyers are aware of these so they can understand your business's potential.
Determining which expenses are truly non-recurring can be tricky. And while including a listing of such with your financial statement is a great place to start, there's more to consider when evaluating your business. So if you have questions about your business or would like to learn more about this topic, feel free to give me a call.

Now available in paperback, Shakespeare's Theatres and the Effects of Performance provides a wealth of information about early modern staging practices. While this volume is dedicated to "the materiality of the playhouses" (2), it is not antitextual. Rather, the essays in the collection explore "the way physical and sensual theatre contributed to textual theatre" (1). This is a wise choice because, as contributor Paul Menzer notes, "Everything we know about Shakespeare and his age is preconceived by print" (141). Since so much evidence for the theatrical practices of this era derives from the extant playscripts, it would be impossible (even if it were desirable) to ignore this literary record. Even Menzer's essay, which strives to peer through what Fredson Bowers called "the veil of print" in order to discern the manuscript form in which early modern actors received their parts, depends for a key piece of evidence on the 1615 Quarto of Thomas Kyd's Spanish Tragedy (151-56). The strength of this volume is its ability to expand our appreciation of these literary texts—and to allow us to envisage their proper performance—by connecting them to the material circumstances that attended and inspired their composition.
The editors' own contributions are perhaps the best examples of this approach. Tiffany Stern's essay, "'This Wide and Universal Theatre': the Theatre as Prop in Shakespeare's Metadrama," urges a reconsideration of what we now call "metatheatre." She notes, "Shakespeare, writing for a non-illusionistic stage, would hardly surprise spectators by telling them that they were in a theatre" (14). Instead Sterm points to specific references to discrete attributes of playhouse architecture, such as Hamlet's dramatic description of the "heavens" that covered the Globe stage as a "majestical roof fretted with golden fire" (2.2.302-03), to show how "the early modern playhouse seems to have repeatedly been used as a way of interpreting and heightening the words and, sometimes, as a way of querying or undercutting them" (Karim-Cooper and Stern 31). Similarly, Farah Karim-Cooper examines how early modern perception of "the sense of touch not as active but as receptive" enabled "the interior effects of theatrical performance [to be] imagined in tactile terms" (227, 230). Karim-Cooper's schema describes both reception by early modern playgoers—who were normally "jostled, shoved and pressed in with roughly 2,999 others"—and also the way some onstage characters affected their fellow dramatic personages (218): "Thus Iago's effectiveness in driving Othello mad with jealousy is imagined as tactile. Iago touches, rubs, scratches, pulls, pushes, pours with words and the play stages the terrible effects of his tactile strategy" (231).
Some of the other essays are as strong as those of Stern and Karim-Cooper. Holly Dugan's contribution, subtitled "The Smell of the Hope Theatre," is [End Page 173] particularly delightful, especially for those old enough to cherish the cinematic fad of "smell-o-vision." Similarly, Gwilym Jones's description of how early modern practitioners used a "device . . . similar to a modern firework rocket" to produce storm effects at public amphitheaters makes one wonder how much these outdoor performances resembled today's theme park stunt shows (35). Understandably, when such a scant historical record has been studied so extensively, contributors sometimes come to different conclusions about the same evidence. For instance, authors Lucy Munro and Andrea Stevens differ on the extent to which animal blood would have been used to represent its human equivalent on the early modern stage. Given the wealth of ongoing research in this field, it is also not surprising that a few observations from this volume, originally published in 2013, already seem outdated. Evelyn Tribble claims, for instance, that "Shakespeare's players performed in the same ambient light as their audiences. This fact is widely recognized" (238). Martin White, however, made a convincing case that this was not...
