There is beauty in the in-between. The twilight of life. Not the end but the stage between night and day. The confusion as one thing starts and another ends. A time of change, and a time of wonder. Boy-4772-AB Positive had no frame of reference for likes and dislikes, but he often found himself standing outside during those times, looking towards the sky. Not thinking, not speaking, simply looking, basking. In the morning it would be the warm rays of sunlight that would wake him from his stillness, and in the evening the cool breeze of night.
He had been born on a farm, but where some farms grew crops, and others kept cattle, this farm grew people. Some were bred for work, some for organs and blood, and some for violence, but all were bred for loyalty. That was The Farmer Masters true obsession, his drug. The root of the mania that allowed him to justify every action he took, and Boy-4772-AB Positive was one of his favourites. As a small child, he'd been tested by having an older child present an escape plan. Boy-4772-AB Positive immediately turned that child in for insubordination. The Farmer Master was so pleased that he let him watch that boy's execution. It was the last time Boy-4772-AB Positive ever experienced a fully formed emotion. He'd always gravitated towards that other boy. He had no reference for why, but in another life, he would have said that he liked him. Neither of them knew it, but they were genetic brothers. Both born from the same stock parents and bred to be guards. The other boy was good, but The Farmer Master felt him too eager when discussing escaping the farm.
Watching the execution had caused a strange reaction in Boy-4772-AB Positive that he was not familiar, nor comfortable with. His throat felt tight, he battled to breathe for a moment, and something made his vision blur. The whole experience didn't last long, and he came out of it feeling colder, feeling less, a more comfortable form of numb.
From any normal perspective Boy-4772-AB Positive led a violent and abusive life, but for him it was normal. He'd never known anything else and had been heavily indoctrinated into believing that it was everything. The small uprisings that happened, which weren't often, made no sense to him. Where were they planning to go? The whole world existed within the farm.
In the same way he hadn't known that he watched his brother being executed, he didn't know that his first execution was his younger sister and father. One bullet through both of them in a shot that any marksmen would have been proud of, but he didn't know what pride was and felt nothing.
But still, somehow, he found himself standing outside, in almost the exact same spot at the start and end of every day, facing the sun, watching the sky change from day or night into twilight.
It didn't take long before he was given the job of The Farmer Masters bodyguard. A position that to him was more akin to priest work than security. To stand at the right hand of God, but it was also a duty like any other. There to be done without question or feeling. It was there where he first encountered the idea of loss, of missing. He stood by day in and day out doing his duty and as a result was most often indoors during sunrise and sunset, and he began to feel the absence of that time alone watching the sky. He hadn't realised it at first, but when finally free one evening standing outside, for the first time since witnessing that execution, he felt his throat get tight, and his vision blur. The sky was an explosion of golds, pinks, corals, and lavender. It stood in his mind as the most precious and valuable thing he'd ever encountered and as it faded to grey and then black, and as he was called back to duty, he felt for the first time, desire. It wasn't a rush, or a shattering realisation, but the faintest whisper. A single raised hair on the back of his neck that made everything different.
Time passed and with every opportunity he had to see the sky change, that voice, that shift, that change grew until eventually, he understood something. He could realise that being outside was something different to standing guard by The Farmer Master. He realised that something could be greater than The Farmer Master. As the words formed in his mind, his heartbeat turned into a hum, and for an instant darkness crept into his vision. What thought there was left him, and when he regained himself he found he stood over the limp form of a man, no longer a God. Just another dead body like so many others, no more or less special. He then walked out to stand in his favourite spot and watch the sky change.

Vicki Dehne never expected to be an inventor or a TV personality, but soon she'll be both. The Havre de Grace shop owner recently received a patent for a tool used in creating paper bead jewelry, and will be featured on "Celebrity Inc." on Pop TV this fall. The show pairs inventors with potential celebrity sponsors for their products.
Dehne became interested in paper bead jewelry in 2007 after seeing a report about Ugandan women making the beads from strips of recycled paper. She started making the jewelry herself. The only problem was the lack of reliable tools: The beads are usually created by rolling paper around a toothpick.
"It can be frustrating to get the bead off of the toothpick without damaging it," she says.
The piece was a spring pin, a fastener that holds two moving parts together. Dehne used it to thread and wind the paper strips. Then she added a handle that makes it comfortable to hold and an ejector that slides the bead off the device without allowing it to unspool.
"It's so much easier on the hands, and it makes a nice uniform bead," Dehne says of the patented tool, called the Paper Bead Roller Pro.
Now Dehne sells her products at The Paper Bead Girl shop and website. The roller and her jewelry are also carried by craft suppliers such as Fire Mountain Gems.
Dehne's thrilled by her success, and enjoys giving back to those who inspired her.
In 2003, 6-year-old Annie Cumpston was killed by a drunken driver. The incident transformed the life of Sharon Perfetti, a friend of the victim's family. It led her to take a leading role in the creation of Annie's Playground in Fallston and ultimately led to her career as executive director of the Cool Kids Campaign, which serves more than 800 pediatric cancer patients and their families.
"I've known so many families who wanted to talk about their deceased children," Perfetti says of her experience.
She wanted to help those families but didn't know how. Now technology makes it possible. The Stories Between, her latest endeavor, is a website that offers individuals the opportunity to create a virtual scrapbook of memories of their loved one.
For Perfetti, the project is an extension of her work with Cool Kids.
In its first year, more than 100 memorial pages have been set up at thestoriesbetween.com. For a one-time fee of $79, the page owner can invite family and friends to contribute photos and stories about their loved one.

Maybe you live in Havre de Grace but never knew that the inventor of a revolutionary beadmaking tool works down the street. Or maybe you love taking the kids to Annie's Playground in Fallston, but you weren't aware that one of its creators started the memorial website "The Stories Between." If you live in Harford County, there's a good chance you're passing by — or even interacting with — fascinating people whose stories you've never heard.
Here, we highlight five female innovators — women you might know as neighbors, coworkers or just familiar names from news articles — and examine the ways they're making strides in the community. Prepare to be inspired.


This was pretty much a must have repurchase as its one of my all time favourite foundations, I absolutely love everything about it, its just perfect for me and something I always have to have in my make up stash.
I only have 2 lipsticks by Collection and I love them so I thought I'd add another one to my collection and I just couldn't resist it's bright red shade. I just think this lipstick would look incredible with a nice matte neutral eye and dramatic black winged out liquid liner, ohhh I think its so lovely and that look on a night out would be gorgeous!!!
Ive been after this mascara ever since it got released in America and I've hated having to wait for it to touch down in the UK, but finally I have it!!! If you know me, you will know I have an unhealthy addiction to buying mascara's, I just love trying them all out ha ha, so far I'm really loving this one, I'll be reviewing it for you all soon so keep an eye out beaut's.
BB Cream's were so popular last summer but I never picked one up for some crazy reason but as Maybelline had a Buy 1 Get 1 Half Price offer on everything I thought I may as well try one if I was getting it half the price. Like the 'Big Eyes' Mascara I've been loving the BB Cream so far and I cant believe I've waited this long to try one.
I love Micellar Waters but I hadn't tried L'Oreal's offering yet and Ive heard so many good things about it that I thought I may as well give it a go, I also love the fact its for eye, face and lips.
Ive really been getting into skincare alot more recently since my skins getting less sensitive now as I'm getting older. It's been years since I've bought a face mask because every time I used them in the past my face would get a horrible reaction that would be there for days, but after spotting these cooling cucumber masks and noticing they are ideal for sensitive skin sufferers I thought I'd give them a whirl.
This is a little cheat item that I wanted to add in my haul as I haven't actually bought this Contour/Corrector kit in the high street, however it has a high street price that I'm sure alot of you girlie's would be interested in. This kit set me back a tiny £3.99 from EBay, what a bargain!!! The kit comes complete with 15 cream contour/corrector shades that are perfect for contour beginners like myself, I'll go into more detail when I review the kit in a upcoming blog post, but for the price it's fab!!!
So that's my little high street haul for you all lovelie's, I hope you enjoyed this kind of post and do let me know if you've picked up any high street gems recently that I need to try.
The contour and corrector kit is such a steal! wow!
Great haul. That concealer/corrector palette looks brill. Might have to have a little nosey on Ebay for it.
I would love to hear your thoughts on that maybelline mascara! Fab haul!
I adore Rimmel Wake Me Up, it's my daily go to. It came as a bit of a surprise when I realised how much I actually liked it, as I wasn't expecting much!

A Track-By-Track Review of Kendrick Lamar's New Album DAMN.
Janae McKenzie
Kendrick Lamar's fifth album, titled DAMN., was released on April 14. Like any Kendrick masterpiece, the album must be listened to at least four times before reaching even the surface themes. A week after its release, the following is a track-by-track review and analysis of DAMN.
The album opens up with haunting vocals, singing "Is it wickedness? / is it weakness? / You decide…" Kendrick tells the story of a blind woman whom he found wandering the streets, as though she had lost something. Kendrick recounts the event in a slow, contemplative speech, complete with ominous violin in the background. Just as Kendrick offers his assistance, the woman takes his life with a chilling gunshot. Here, Kendrick reminds his audience not to take people at face value, as letting your guard down can lead to a loss of your very own. Following the gunshot, a Fox News clip is weaved into the end of the track, and the voice of Kendrick's critics permeates the track as it leads into his response.
DNA.
This embodies the intense protest rap we've come to know and love from K. Dot. Here Kendrick raps about the greatness and controversy running hot through his blood. While praising his own natural talents, he attacks the weakness of his enemies, claiming the hormones have switched, implying a lack of testosterone and backbone. The continued news clips criticizing his work run through the second half of the track, and Kendrick remains unfazed by them.
YAH.
Kung Fu Kenny makes his humble debut on this track, employing a slower drawl. The "yah yah" repeating through the hook is the first of many religious notes on this album, possibly referring to "Yahweh," a Hebrew name for God. Here Kendrick pays attention to his family and God who support him, ignoring the people who want to use his vision for their fame.
ELEMENT.
The dedication to his music and his career is most prevalent on this track, as well as the reason behind it. His father, who inspired him through his success, moving from jail to a several figure salary ("My daddy commissary made it to commas"). Kendrick works for his birthplace Compton, for his family and he knows he's killing the game. Kendrick takes the time to call out his fellow rappers who pursue success for more shallow reasons while acknowledging that whatever he does, he makes it look sexy.
The religious tones continue on this track, with overlapping voices lamenting the lack of prayer from people who support Kendrick. This is one of the more emotional tracks, and Kendrick takes this time to divulge a stream-of-consciousness expression of his feelings. Up until the last 45 seconds, a synthesizer runs in the background and Kendrick remains calm and pensive. He makes a Slim Shady-esque shift, in which he pivots and dismisses the feelings of these same people who won't pray for him.
LOYALTY.
With R&B beats reminiscent of recent rap gracing radio stations, Rihanna's soulful vocals mesh perfectly with Kendrick's soft monochrome rapping. The song is a comment on loyalty in a relationship, whether romantic or, in Kendrick's case, a fan base. Kendrick observes his audience shifting, and in this track calls out for a loyal one.
Kendrick acknowledges the dangers of pride, opening the track with a haunting, echoing reminder that pride will be the death of everyone. He describes the imperfections in the world around him while musing that he can't be entirely humbled for the sake of his followers and competitors. Kendrick ends the track on yet another religious note, expressing a desire to bring all religions together and have the people of the world abandon their pride, and look to God in thanks for his perfection and mercy.
HUMBLE.
In juxtaposition to "PRIDE.", this track resumes the intense side of Kung Fu Kenny's music. The repetitive piano chords and monochrome vocals lead to an earworm of a song, as he reminds his competitors to sit down and be humble both in the face of God and of Kendrick, who is increasing in god-like status.
Toning it down for the next track, Kendrick describes the physical feeling of lust taking over his body. His continued use of the word "need" emphasizes the desperation he feels wanting physical interaction with the object of his affection. Lost in the monotone daily routine between him and the girl he lusts after, he needs the excitement and rush he feels to distract him.
The more emotional "love" as opposed to the purely physical "lust" has a happier, bubbly sound. Here Kendrick laments about another girl who is hard to get, but rather than his lower region hurting, his heart does. In light of his success, love is one of the few things Kendrick still has to fight for. Here he wishes for someone to stay loyal and be with him, a "homie for life" to love him outside of the fame and fortune.
Here, Kendrick continues his controversy, discussing a justified form of violence. If Kendrick is God, this piece is his flood, filled with dark themes of death and payment for sins. Someone asks Kendrick to pray for him and Kendrick, angered, demands violent backlash for the crimes committed against his people. Kung Fu Kenny makes it clear that if you touch something important to him, he's coming for you. The track is quite literally cut off by fear.
While continuing the religious theme, this track makes a change in which Kendrick curses God for his suffering throughout his life. The track follows three different shifts in fear by three different times in Kendrick's life. At 7 years old, Kendrick is a paranoid, troubled mind in a home full of domestic violence, suffering from a fear of being beaten. At 17 years old, Kendrick can't have the freedom he wants, for fear that it may quite literally kill him. Death lurks around every corner for teenage Kendrick. At 27, despite a new life and new success, Kendrick remains afraid. His biggest fears involve "losing it all," so much to the point where he trusts no one with his money, nor does he make frivolous purchases. Kendrick wants to be able to smoke away the fear that permeates every part of his life, no matter what stage.
Kendrick secures his identity as the God of the rap game in this track, reveling in the power and authority. He wanted to be a gunman as a young boy, so he found his way, killing his competition with success, fame and art. Kendrick indulges in his own pride, rightfully so with his accumulated success.
DUCKWORTH.
This track, named after Kendrick's last name, acknowledges his true adversary, himself. Kendrick tells the story of his father's near death, explaining how his existence is purely based on coincidence. The outro of this track reverses audio and brings the album full circle, ending with the same fateful phrase at the beginning of "BLOOD.": "So I was taking a walk the other day.."

Emboss the square cut out using EF-101 distressed lines then faintly go over the embossed areas with memento sweet plum ink pad.
Stamp the JND054 blousy poppy stamp onto LKK-A450 shell pink and cut out using the matching die JND053 (the die is designed to sit over the stamped images exactly to cut all the flowers in one pass – very quick and easy!). Distress the edges using the memento sweet plum ink pad. Use a hard mat and a large embossing tool to run over the back of the flower layers then turn over and push down in the centre to create shape.
Cut 5 leaves from JNDAD015 rose leaves in LKK-A446 olive linen card then distress the edges using memento sweet plum ink pad. Run a pokey tool along the veins to add a bit of definition and shape.
Cut the circle out from JND052 oakham lattice in double sided pearlescent cream/white card (if you do not have this cutting die you can use any circle die which measures roughly 6.3 x 6.3 cm or cut one out manually). Using a sentiment of your choice (we used the sentiment from JND50012 bee balm flowers) stamp in the centre of your circle in memento sweet plum, make sure its stamped on the cream side of the card.


Kim Fields claimed she knew nothing about throwing shade before joining her new reality TV besties! But the actress has no trouble thinking up the hilarious dig she tosses at her castmates as they talk room assignments for their Miami, Florida, trip in a preview clip from the Dec 13. episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta!
Cynthia Bailey kicks off the conversation as the girls make their way to the home they will be residing in during their time in Miami. As expected, the girls all immediately jump into the conversation with their thoughts on how the rooms should be chosen.

I want to create a game similar to word searches, with letters scattered randomly on the screen. I wonder if anyone would have an idea how I can generate the lines that will appear between the letters and connects one letter to another, until the word is formed.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to apply this but not work (certainly because I didn't understand what to do).
In fact, I wish the line ends stay stuck on the last letter I clicked and the mouse cursor until I click on the last letter of the word.
The lines are pretty much done like LittleStain said.

Q: notify user when any SMS modified from any SMS apps I am devloping a simple app that notifies the user when the SMS modified from any application
I am using content observer
the problem is that I want to run it even if my app is off so if my app is off and some user mark a SMS as read he should get notfication that 1 SMS modified
here is my code
public class SMSObserver extends ContentObserver
{
    SMSLogger smsLogger;
    Context context;

    public SMSObserver(SMSLogger smsLogger, Context context) {

        super(new Handler());
        this.context=context;
        this.smsLogger = smsLogger;
    }

    @Override
    public void onChange(boolean selfChange) {

        super.onChange(selfChange);
        smsLogger.querySMS(context);
    }
}

public class SMSLogger {
    protected void querySMS(Context context) {
        Uri uriSMS = Uri.parse("content://sms/");
        Cursor cur = context.getContentResolver().query(uriSMS, null, null, null, null);
       /* cur.moveToNext(); // this will make it point to the first record, which is the last SMS sent
        String body = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("body")); //content of sms
        String add = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("address")); //phone num
        String time = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("date")); //date
        String protocol = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("protocol")); //protocol*/

        Toast.makeText(context, "Data Changed CHECK SMS" , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    /*logging action HERE...*/
    }
}

and here is the registration code
any idea where to add these lines of code so the user always got notified when any SMS updated ?
  Toast.makeText(this.getBaseContext(), "Data Changed CHECK SMS", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        final Uri SMS_STATUS_URI = Uri.parse("content://sms");
        SMSLogger sl= new SMSLogger();

        SMSObserver smsSentObserver = new SMSObserver(sl, this.getBaseContext());
        getContentResolver().registerContentObserver(SMS_STATUS_URI, true, smsSentObserver);

A: You can Create a service and let it run on the foreground to avoid the random killing by the system
private void startServiceAsForeground() {
        Intent intent = new Intent(MyServiceService.this, targetActivity.class);
        startForeground(ONGOING_NITIFICATION_ID, creatOngoingNotificationObject(getString(R.string.ongoing_message_ok), intent));

    }

    private void updateServiceForegroundMessage(String message, Intent intent) {
        startForeground(ONGOING_NITIFICATION_ID, creatAntiDistractionOngoingNotificationObject(message, intent));
    }

    private android.app.Notification creatOngoingNotificationObject(String messageBody, Intent intent) {
        NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(MyServiceService.this).setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_gray)
                .setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name)).setAutoCancel(false).setOngoing(true).setContentText(messageBody);
        // Intent intent = new Intent(MainService.this, intentClass );
        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
        PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(MyServiceService.this, 0, intent, 0);
        mBuilder.setContentIntent(pIntent);
        return mBuilder.build();
    }

And insert your code to the service and then you are guaranteed to intercept any incomming/outgoing message even if your application is not on the foreground because your service will be running all the time and the user will be aware of it .

We finished watching Season 4 of The Wire on Monday night. Video On Demand is great when they release the episodes a week early, which almost makes up for the 20 minutes I spent navigating through RCN's painfully slow menus again and again after hitting errors telling me to "try again momentarily".
Like other seasons this one had a slow buildup leading to exciting final few episodes. I'm very glad to see that despite its modest ratings that it has been renewed for a fifth and final season. Throughout this season I was struck by quality of the acting from the teenage cast members, especially the four central boys and "Snoop". Watching Michael grow up to join Marlo had me thinking that George Lucas could have learned from this season how to take a sympathetic character and turn him into a villian.


Lily is a seriously versatile necklace and will brilliantly accessorise any outfit whether in the depths of winter or the height of summer. Dress up a jeans & t-shirt combo - add a splash of colour to double denim, or dress down a summer dress. On cream cord with a grey safety clasp, Lily is a subtle and sophisticated accessory that also happens to be chewy and fab for fiddly fingers. You couldn't leave the house without this number!

READING RACERS SPEEDWAY
NEXT MATCH: 2020!
Gene Carter
Racers Head Into Their Next Away Match.
Reading Racers head into their next Midland and Southern Development League match with a line up that is somewhat unfamiliar - although more familiar than it looks on first sight.
They head to Pymouth's renamed Coliseum to face the Exeter Falcons with just one squad member available. And in a league where riders are not even covering expenses and only race in the hope of making it big in the future, it's a venue that is notoriously difficult to find riders to travel to owing to the long journey for just about everyone.
With 2 of the Reading team abroad, 2 committed to work and Sam Norris so badly injured, William O'Keefe is the lone official Racer to take his place in the team. Ironically, after being dropped from the squad just a couple of weeks ago due to his continued unavailability, ex Racer Jamie Bursill has agreed to ride as he is at the venue already, being a member of the Plymouth team and racing in the preceding meeting against Kent Kings. Pool rider Russell Barnett also rides, having been in regular contact with the Racers bosses over the the last two years, always stressing his willingness to step in for them.
And after finding nobody else willing to make the trip solely for 3 rides, the Racers contacted Jacob Clouting, who will also be in the main match as Kent's reserve. The 19 year old readily agreed to save the day, and in fact he was almost in the Racers squad this season after talks earlier in the year before deciding Weymouth's racenights suited him better.
The assembled team will go into the match with Emma Stevens in charge, hoping to avenge the defeat inflicted by Exeter just last week, with the Falcons vying to go back to the top of the league.
Exeter: 1. Adam Sheppard, 2. Kris Andrews, 3. Saul Bulley, 4. Kai Ward.
Reading: 1. Jamie Bursill, 2. Russell Barnett, 3. William O'keefe, 4. Jacob Clouting.

The new anthem is a sensational celebration of the spirit of Special Olympics and Abu Dhabi's goal of creating a more inclusive world that truly values the contributions of every individual, regardless of ability.
The 'Makers' shaped the performances to encapsulate the spirit of the Olympic dream that is shared by each of the 7,500 athletes. The 'Makers' showed that people of determination have a powerful voice and are the greatest leaders, teachers and champions for inclusion.
One such performance was 'Woven World'. Singing first in Arabic and then English, hundreds of youngsters performed in a celebration of the strength and beautiful diversity of our world and the boundless humanity we all share.
The name of each country was projected across the stadium's giant screens and around the stage, with each receiving enthusiastic applause from the crowd.
Dr Shriver's speech was followed by a message of unity from the UAE Special Olympics community, including athletes and members of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) of the Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019.

Michelle Obama wants to inspire the youth.
Michelle Obama my no longer be the First Lady but she's still making moves to inspire youth and the generations to come. According to Variety, Michelle has teamed with outlet ATTN to produce a series called A Year of Firsts that will chronicle first year of post secondary for students across America. The first episode is set to arrive later this month and run for six episodes, ending in June 2020.

"As a first-generation college student myself, I know how intimidating it can be to take that leap and pursue your educational dreams," she said in a statement. "That's why I'm so proud of these students. By sharing their stories, they're helping others see that the ups and downs of the first year of college are something everyone goes through — and they're creating a supportive community for others facing similar challenges."
"As Mrs. Obama highlights in each episode, there are many hidden challenges to making it through college," ATTN: co-founder Matthew Segal added. "This series will meet many students where they live — on Instagram — and share candid perspectives about how to overcome barriers."
In other Michelle news, Viola Davis is set to portray the former First Lady in an upcoming series.

It's bound to happen sooner or later (and probably will happen on a Monday): a bad day. A day when your hair won't do what you want, your winged liner refuses to flick properly, and you snag your favorite leggings. But rather than retreat to your sofa and watch Netflix all day, whilst pouting, have a peek at these GIFs and get back at it.


Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism has become a global challenge and gained a prominent place in the multilateral Agenda. To inform ongoing discussions on this global issue, the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Morocco, the Permanent Mission of the United States of America and the Geneva Centre on Security Policy (GCSP) co-organised a Policy Dialogue on 3 December 2015, where States that have developed national strategies on CVE and other stakeholders shared their respective experiences.
Best practices of CVE that have emerged at the local, national and regional levels were shared so as to allow countries that are willing to step up their national efforts in this field to gain from existing and available experiences. This exchange came at a time where both the UN Security Council and the UN Human Rights Council had been taking up this issue through important resolutions adopted in 2014 and 2015.
This meeting addressed the importance of understanding the concept and practice of CVE. The issue of CVE has suffered some lack of clarity and understanding with both policymakers and practitioners as the terms "CVE" and "counterterrorism" have been used interchangeably while they refer to different concepts and approaches.
Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism is a whole-of-society effort that requires an integrated approach that seeks to address the security, religious, social and human rights dimensions. Against this backdrop, the Conference brought together diplomats, academics and think tanks in order to exchange views, and address comprehensively CVE at a time where the UN Secretary General and specialized agencies are developing multi-stakeholder plans to address this global challenge.

Make sure you have the requirements mentioned below. Then pick one of the downloads, and read the usage help for introduction of how install and use the program.
Note that while I encourage you to try the program, being constructive and building interesting intersections, it should be noted that the vehicle behavior will likely change in future releases. This means that if you have traffic lights that has been timed for the current release, it may work less good in a future release. Future releases will probably be able to load the files, but adopting the timing would be very hard to do automaticly.
To run Junctioneer on Windows you need to have Visual Studio 2010 Redistributable installed unless you have Visual Studio 2010 installed. The Redistributable edition contains implementation of the standard C++ library. Some programs installs the redistributable package for you, so you might have it installed already even if you haven't done it by yourself. Note though that it has to be the 2010 edition to work.

Home Port Times Record PJ Village Says New Contactless Parking Payment System Shows Increased Users
PJ Village Says New Contactless Parking Payment System Shows Increased Users
by Kyle Barr - August 20, 2020

Port Jefferson officials say the village's new contactless parking kiosks have already shown increased usage in the short time the program has been active.
Port Jeff has been using Honk, a contactless parking payment company, since July 1. The company allows customers to pay for parking in two ways, one by downloading the phone app and the other by tapping their phone or scanning a barcode on a HonkTAP station.
In a release, the app company said that last week, 1,227 people tapped to pay for parking. Kevin Wood, the village's parking and mobility administrator, said the tap action accounted for 43% of total parking sessions last week as well. Wood added that the amount of growth they've seen so far was primarily because an app is not needed to pay.
"The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the need for digitized, touch-free parking payments," Wood said. "Usage has skyrocketed and our help center has received very positive feedback."
The technology also allows an option for drivers to receive text reminders when their parking session is set to expire and to add more time to their spot remotely.
"We're proud to partner with Port Jefferson, and to help provide a safe, welcoming experience for visitor parking," said Michael Back, Honk President and CEO in a release. "It's never been more important for tourist destinations like Port Jefferson to offer easy, touch-free parking payments."
The village sees an average of 250,000 visitor parking sessions a year, and parking in the village's more than 600 spots has become one of the most hot button issues for the community, both residents and businesses. The village is planning to soon start construction on a new parking lot on Barnum Avenue next to Caroline Avenue to add 44 new spots. That project is expected to cost a total of $814,069, with an existing $300,000 bond, $200,000 grant and $314,069 in parking funds.

Le Doğan Türk Birliği Spor Kulübü, plus couramment abrégé en Doğan TBSK, est un club de football de Chypre du Nord fondé en 1938 et basé dans la ville de Girne.

Histoire

Le club est fondé en 1938 dans la ville de Limassol dans le sud de Chypre. Après l'invasion turque de Chypre menée par les forces armées turques qui occupent l'île, le club est forcé à déplacer son quartier général à Girne au nord de Chypre.

Le nom Doğan est rajouté au nom du club en 1952 à la suite de la fusion avec le club de la ville de Girne, Doğan Güneş (soleil levant). Leurs couleurs sont le jaune et bleu.

Spectacular home on almost 2 acres perfectly situated near Alpharetta, Milton and Canton. Home is absolutely move-in ready with fresh paint. Large backyard has endless potential from adding a pool, garden, playground, etc. Basement is fully finished and has a very tasteful coiffured ceiling which also serves as a 'drop down.' In other words: full functionality of a basement ceiling but with a 'high-end' look and feel. Basement has additional unfinished storage (workshop, etc) and mechanical room. 3 car garage. Chef's kitchen. Lots of rooms for office/media/etc.


I'm finally back to trail running! It's been a week since my eye surgery and now I'm allowed to train as usual again. I love running with music and I love running with the sounds of nature. Generally I mix running with (on roads) and without music (in nature), until I got offered to try a new pair of headphones. As they sit just in front of the ear the advertisement said that the music would go through the cheek-bone, which sounds like science fiction, but somehow it works – and you hear your surroundings at the same time! It is like having a soundtrack to reality!
I also like to use my bike rides to listen to podcasts, but it's of course not very safe to not hear the traffic, so these headphones will join me on bikerides as well. The headphones are wireless and mostly made out of titanium which makes them lightweight and comfortable. The sound is not close to as good as in normal headphones as it's kind of flat, but I can recommend them to anyone who wants to listen to music in a outdoor activity and be safe at the same time.

Section 4010 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, P.L. 114-94, requires NHTSA to post on a public website information about grant determinations under the National Priority Safety Programs (23 U.S.C. 405). Specifically, 60 days after making grant award determinations, NHTSA must identify:
The States that received grant awards;
The States that applied for but did not receive grant awards; and
The States that did not apply for grants.
For those States that applied for but did not receive grant awards, NHTSA must additionally provide a list of deficiencies that made the States ineligible for award.
The tables below address these FAST Act requirements. The first table identifies items #1 through #3 above. Subsequent tables, broken out by grant program, identify some of the significant deficiencies that prevented a State from receiving an award. NHTSA reviewed State laws based on the legal citations provided by States in their application package. While we exercised due diligence in that effort, inaccurate or incomplete legal citations in some State applications may have affected NHTSA's review.
In order to make timely award determinations and notifications to the States, once a determination was made that a State did not meet the mandatory requirements listed in the "Deficiencies" tables, NHTSA did not proceed with further evaluation. As a result, the list of deficiencies in the tables below should not be viewed as comprehensive.
As always, NHTSA remains available to provide a review of proposed bills as individual States pursue legislative efforts to achieve compliance with these important grant programs. We will do our best to provide fast turnaround guidance in those situations, including telephone discussions at a State's request when its legislative process is moving rapidly. It is our hope that the information provided below will assist States in their legislative efforts.

Q: How to load a properties file into JBOSS 7 in domain mode We did our early development in standalone mode where a property file could be included on the command line.
Now we are working on deployment and the server will be in domain mode, but the handy command line property doesn't do the trick any more.
I see that properties can be loaded with jboss-cli or placed in domain.xml, but those both have different forms than a standard properties file. I don't want to change the file because other programs use the same file.
Am I overlooking something?

A: Perl was my friend
#!/usr/bin/perl

# this perl script takes a standard property file and makes a jboss cli file to load properties

$machine = $ENV{'PHYSICAL_MACHINE'};

print "connect $ENV{'TARGET_HOSTNAME'}.domain.com\n";

while (<>)
{
 my($line) = $_;

chomp($line);
#remove DOS line endings
chop($line) if ($line =~ m/\r$/);

# skip commented lines
next if ( $line =~ /^#/);

if($line)
{
    my(@parts) = split /=/, $line;

    $propName=@parts[0];
    $propval=@parts[1];

    print "\nif (outcome != success) of /host=$machine/server-config=XXX-server/system-property=$propName:read-resource\n";
    print "    /host=$machine/server-config=XXX-server/system-property=$propName:add(value=$propval)\n";
    print "else\n";
    print "    /host=$machine/server-config=XXX-server/system-property=$propName:write-attribute(name=value, value=$propval)\n";
    print "end-if\n";
}
}
