Q: How to obtain gems compatibility version from Ruby Ruby gems are installed into directories called after the last compatible version rather than specific release. How can I obtain that version?
For example for Ruby 2.3.3, gems will be installed into 2.3.0 directory. How do I find out what that version is from a ruby interpreter?

A: Other answers that are kind of correct, but use paths. I tracked it down to:
Gem.ruby_api_version

Which will return the version on its own.

A: Gem.loaded_specs

will give you a hash of loaded gems. From that list, choose one gem:
Gem.loaded_specs["did_you_mean"]
# => {"did_you_mean"=>#<Gem::Specification:0x2abac1f4ecb8 did_you_mean-1.0.0>}

gem_dir will give you the directory:
Gem.loaded_specs["did_you_mean"].gem_dir
# => ".../.rbenv/versions/2.3.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/did_you_mean-1.0.0"

In this case, I am using Ruby 2.3.3, and the gems are under the 2.3.0 directory.

A: i get that same behavior with 2.3.1. here's one way of coming up with "2.3.0":
% ruby -v
ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x86_64-darwin16]

% ruby -e 'print Gem.user_dir'
/Users/kburnett/.gem/ruby/2.3.0

% ruby -e "print RbConfig::CONFIG['ruby_version']"
2.3.0

The Bouvier Des Flandres is also known as the vuilbaard (dirty beard), koehond (cow dog), and toucher de boeuf or pic (cattle driver).
The Bouvier des Flandres (pronounced boo-vee-ay duh Flan-derz) is a Flemish herding dog that may have arisen from crosses between European hounds and local farm dogs. Today Flanders refers to the Dutch-speaking part of northern Belgium, but at the time of the dog's development in the Middle Ages, the region straddled the border between France and the Holy Roman Empire. Because of this tangled history, both France and Belgium can claim it as a native breed.

This versatile dog has historically played many different roles. It was originally developed to help farmers herd sheep, drive cattle, pull carts, and guard the property, but it was later adopted for police work, search and rescue operations, guiding the disabled, and an overall household companion. During World War I, when the fields of Flanders became a scarred and bloody battlefield, this breed earned a distinguished record as a trench dog, carrying messages and pulling ambulance carts. Unfortunately, the combat took its toll and nearly drove the breed to extinction. Its fortunes improved greatly after World War II thanks to the efforts of dedicated breeders.
This breed is characterized by a powerful, compact body, a very large head, drooping ears, and a short tail. The long and shaggy double coat, which consists of a very rough outer coat and a softer undercoat, can be fawn, brindle, black, gray, or blonde. This is complemented with a particularly prominent beard and mustache.

Bouvier des Flandres Size and Weight
The Bouvier des Flandres is a large dog; while it isn't very long, it's certainly tall and muscular. The accepted standard does not, unfortunately, allow for miniature Bouviers, but it may be possible to produce a miniature version with a mix. The Beagle and the miniature Poodle are both good candidates for crosses.
Height (Male) 24.5 to 27.5 inches
Height (Female) 23.5 to 26.5 inches
Weight (Male) 70 to 110 pounds
Weight (Female) 70 to 110 pounds
Bouvier des Flandres Common Health Issues
The Bouvier has a decent lifespan of around 10 to 12 years, but it is particularly susceptible to a list of different health conditions, including deafness, glaucoma, myopathy (muscle weakness), cataracts, hypothyroidism, and cancer. There is also a chance it may inherit some rarer disorders. Laryngeal paralysis is an upper respiratory problem caused by the degeneration of muscles and nerves. Subaortic stenosis is an obstruction in the blood flow caused by the narrowing of a heart valve. Hip and elbow dysplasia results in the joints slipping loose from the socket.

Bloating, which affects many deep-chested dog breeds, is caused by a buildup of gas in the stomach; this potentially life-threatening condition twists and expands the stomach to dangerous degrees. Symptoms include abdominal swelling, excess salivating, and vomiting or retching; if this should occur, then seek medical attention immediately. It is possible to improve your dog's chances at a happy, healthy life by making sure the breeder has done the necessary tests to ensure that their stock is free of known inheritable issues.
Regular checkups at the vet are also necessary to catch health problems early. In summation, these are the most common health problems with the Bouvier:
Glaucoma and cataracts
Myopathy
Bouvier des Flandres Temperament
The Bouvier has an all-around good temperament; it is fairly affectionate, playful, gentle, loyal, and devoted to the family. But despite its friendly personality, this breed is most satisfied when it has a job to do. It loves games, problem-solving activities, and physically challenging tasks. You will need to be particularly creative in the kinds of activities you do with your dog. If left alone for too long without any sense of direction, there is a chance it could turn into destructive behavior.
How to Take Care of the Bouvier des Flandres
Despite its pleasant, even-tempered personality, the Bouvier probably isn't a good choice for casual dog owners. This breed requires someone who can keep up with its frenetic whirlwind of activity and exercise. While it can adapt to smaller homes and apartments, this breed will need plenty of outdoor space to run and play.
Bouvier des Flandres Food and Diet
The Bouvier will need a few cups of high-quality dog food every day, preferably lower in protein than the typical dog food. The exact amount of food will depend on the dog's age, activity level, and size. Since this breed is unfortunately prone to bloating, you should divide up the meals into a few per day. Both commercially made and homemade meals are acceptable.
Bouvier des Flandres Maintenance and Grooming
Despite the very thick coat of fur, the Bouvier needs to be brushed probably no more than once or twice a week with a simple brush and comb; special attention should be paid to the beard. This breed does shed a moderate amount (it is not hypoallergenic), but most of the hair will be caught up within the double coat, causing it to mat. The Bouvier should be ideally trimmed once every month or two, especially if you intend to exhibit it on the dog show circuit.
Owners may also need to trim the nails on occasion to prevent them from cracking or clicking on the floor. Brush the teeth on a regular basis to prevent gum and tooth disease. Finally, check the ears for signs of infection and then clean them out.
Bouvier des Flandres Training
The Bouvier is extremely eager to please its owner and follow commands. Its strong-willed and relentless nature is easily channeled into positive directions. Some gentle guidance and patience are all that's required to get the most out of it.
Bouvier des Flandres Exercise
The Bouvier probably needs at least an hour of exercise per day in the form of long walks, vigorous hiking, jogging, and even biking. This breed also excels at agility trials, tracking, herding events, obedience challenges, and general showmanship. It might be a good idea to have a large and enclosed yard where the dog can run around freely for a time. Since it does have a strong herding drive, you should be careful about letting it off the leash.
Bouvier des Flandres Puppies
Bouvier puppies need to be trained and socialized from the earliest possible age. Doggie daycare/kindergarten, dog parks, play dates, and training classes can all help to shape puppies into well-behaving adults. Some of their herding instincts are endemic and built-in, but they can be controlled with enough careful training and guidance. If you're not careful, you might find the dog herding people as well as animals.
Crate training, while not strictly necessary, can help with housebreaking and behavioral issues, both as a puppy and throughout the dog's entire life. Another important thing to keep in mind is that exercise should be limited in duration and intensity until the puppy matures at around two years of age.

The Bouvier des Flandres and Children
The Bouvier will get along fairly well with children of all ages. It is loyal, protective, and gentle with them. But you should never leave your dog alone with children unless there's an adult present, just in case you need to intervene.
Dogs Similar to the Bouvier des Flandres
The Bouvier most closely resembles herding dogs from the same region.
Belgian Shepherd: This medium-sized herding dog actually comes in four different varieties based on its coat length and color. These include the long-haired black Groenendael, the long-haired fawn Tervuren, the rough-haired fawn Laekenois, and the short-haired fawn Malinois. These are highly intelligent, alert, and hard-working dogs with protective and loyal instincts.
Berger Picard: Also known as the Picardy Shepherd, this is a medium-sized French herding dog with a rough coat of fawn or brindle hair. It is is very easy-going and good-natured but perhaps a little reserved around strangers.
Bearded Collie: This kind, gentle Scottish herding dog is unmistakable for its long, flowing double coat of black, blue, brown, fawn, or white fur.
Famous Bouvier des Flandres Dogs
Perhaps the most famous Bouvier ever was Lucky, the pet of President Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan when they were in the White House during his second term. Nancy Reagan named the dog after her mother, Edith Luckett Davis. This breed has also made minor appearances in films and TV shows.

Bouvier Des Flandres FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
How much does a Bouvier des Flandres cost?
The price of a new Bouvier des Flandres is normally somewhere between $1,200 and $1,500 on average. Both the quality of the breeder and the pedigree of the dog will go a long way toward determining the overall price. Remember, high-quality breeders also tend to produce healthy, well-raised dogs. If you can't afford this, then adoption might be an appealing alternative. Perhaps the best way to adopt a Bouvier is to get in touch with a trusted Bouvier organization. The American Bouvier Rescue League, for example, is specifically dedicated to finding a good home for Bouvier rescues. The price of adoption is usually no more than a few hundred dollars.
Is a Bouvier des Flandres a good family dog?
Yes, the Bouvier is considered to be a good family dog with a decent lifespan. It is loyal, protective, affectionate, and playful. While this breed does require a lot of work, it can be a very rewarding experience for the right owner.
Is a Bouvier des Flandres affectionate?
The Bouvier is very affectionate toward people, but you should keep in mind this isn't a lap dog. Don't expect it to always be in the mood for cuddles and snuggling. This dog is task-oriented and needs its own personal space from time to time.
Do Bouvier des Flandres shed?
Yes, the Bouvier does shed, but a lot of the loose fur becomes trapped in the coat and must be brushed out. It's less likely to get on furniture and clothing. This breed is unfortunately not hypoallergenic. Allergy sufferers should be wary.
How smart are Bouvier des Flandres?
The Bouvier must exhibit a high degree of intelligence out in the field when herding cattle and sheep. It has the capacity to understand a goal and how to achieve it. What's most impressive, though, is its sheer versatility. This breed can excel at tricks, sports, games, police and rescue work, guide work, guard duty, and all sorts of other tasks.
What does Bouvier des Flandres mean?
The name roughly translates from French to mean "cowherd of Flanders."

Police have cracked an organised drug network with interstate links trafficking high quality dangerous drugs allegedly operating from houses in Redland Bay and Victoria Point.
The drugs allegedly trafficked into Queensland via Melbourne and Sydney had an estimated street value of $10million and were destined for nightclubs in the South East Queensland nightclubs.
Police swooped on a house in Point Halloran Road, Victoria Point, after arresting a 27-year-old Victoria Point man at Brisbane Airport on March 26. He is alleged to have been carrying one kilo of ice, or crystallised methylamphetamine, in his hand luggage.
The man 34-year-old brother was arrested at the Victoria Point house, where police found 2kg of crystallised methylamphetamine along with 4000 MDMA pills and a large quantity of cash.
MDMA pills have a street value of up to $35 each, and the pills were tested to be 70 to 80 percent pure.
On the same day, police raided a house in Scott Street, Redland Bay. A 19-year-old man was subsequently charged with possession of 1kg of crystallised methylamphetamine along with a large wad of cash stashed in his wardrobe.
Police claim the Redland drug ring was part of an organised drug network.
State Crime Operations Commands Detective Superintendent Steve Holahan told a press conference yesterday the Redland addresses were used as drug storage sites that were connected to large drug suppliers in Melbourne and Sydney, where two 36-year-old men were arrested yesterday.
Both men are due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court today. Det Supt Holahan said the arrests were made after State Drug Investigation Unit detectives raided houses in suburbs across Redland city yesterday, including Thornlands and Birkdale, to find the source of the drugs during the 19-month Operation Juliet Cheshire.
"We were very surprised at the age of many people that were caught, many were young including the 19-year-old man," he said.
He said the operation heavily focused on the distribution of the drugs in Brisbane nightclubs. "(The supply and demand of the drugs) is probably a reflection on the culture of society, particularly young people, they're certainly not risk adverse," he said.
The operation resulted in a total of 89 people charged on 352 offences, including 40 charges of trafficking dangerous drugs.
The two men from Victoria Point and the Redland Bay man will appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on May 6, charged with drug trafficking, possession of dangerous drugs and possession of the proceeds of crime.
Cover-up: the rainbow pedestrian crossing is no more. Photo: Dallas KilponenSydney awoke to the end of the rainbow on Thursday, and those who took to social media overwhelmingly decried it as a golden opportunity wasted.
More than 600 people were talking about the issue on Facebook on Wednesday, with more comments flooding Twitter as the government defended the decision to remove the landmark overnight.
"I think the rainbow crossing being taken down was foolish. It could have been a great tourism/political statement for Sydney. Shame," said @DavidCampbell73.
The "Save the Rainbow Crossing" Facebook page, which attracted more than 500 supporters, documented its Wednesday night removal. A series of photos showed the pedestrian barriers and work crews moving in before the colours disappeared under a fresh layer of asphalt.
"So sooo sad and unfair! Not to mention the waste of the tax payer money," said one commenter, Susana Moris.
Roads Minister Duncan Gay, who cited safety concerns in ripping up the paintwork installed temporarily for Mardi Gras, drew much of the online fire.
"Painting the rainbow black symbolises exactly what Duncan Gay and like-minded MPs are doing to Sydney … Filthy," said @duongdustin.
"Colours on a road pose a safety risk. Shooters in National Parks don't. NSW today," said @journeytime.
Only one of 246 pictures on Instragram that used the "rainbowcrossing" hashtag showed images of people lying down on the Oxford Street landmark.
The crossing debate, which attracted international attention, also prompted at least one overseas call for Taylor Square pedestrians disgruntled by the decision to wait for the signal, cross, and now move on.
"I need Sydney-based volunteers who are willing to smack sense into people mourning the rainbow loss on my behalf," New York-based @mostlyFilth said.


T6 Black Tube is a weight management supplement manufactured by Pure Labs. Very little is known about the company, but it maintains a mailing address in San Francisco and provides customer service via telephone, fax, and an online form on the company website.
Supplements that bear the letter "T" followed by a number, such as T6, used to be associated with the thyroid—a gland that produces hormones that are necessary for an efficient metabolism. These days the presence of a letter "T" on the label of a dietary supplement is often nothing more than a marketing ploy, as is the case here. T6 Black Tube does not contain any ingredients that are known to be capable of stimulating production of thyroid hormones.
According to the Pure Labs website, T6 Black Tube was created to be a new and improved version of a previous product, simply called T6 Black, which supposedly gave birth to "endless success stories". We were unable to find any of these tales of triumph, but we did discover the old product and its predecessor share exactly the same formulation.
Supersedes the originalT6 Black but identical apart from the label.
There are 30 capsules per tube.
In our opinion PhenQ is better product with a multiple benefit.
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (200 mg): An amino acid that is favoured by smart drug manufacturers due to its ability to boost alertness and fight mental fatigue. It is also believed capable of improving the mood and combating the symptoms of stress. As a nootropic ingredient it has a lot to offer. As weight loss aid it offers little, but it is feasible its presence may reduce the likelihood of comfort eating.
Caffeine Anhydrous (200mg): Caffeine holds the distinction of being the most socially acceptable pick-me-up in the world. Its powers as an energy provider are undisputed and it also functions as a mild appetite suppressant and metabolism booster. The amount included here is similar to that provided by two cups of coffee.
Naringin (50 mg): A flavonoid sourced from grapefruit. It is sometimes credited with fat burning abilities, but such claims are far from being proven. It is known to interact well with caffeine though, and can boost its stimulatory effects. However, naringin can produce less favourable reactions if it is used in combination with certain medications.
Phenethylamine (50mg): A compound that is believed capable of boosting the production of certain brain chemicals—namely serotonin and dopamine. In theory this should lead to an improvement in the mood, but Phenethylamine is related to amphetamine and can be similarly addictive. Pure Labs also make claims for the ingredient's potential as a fat burner, but Phenethylamine has never been satisfactorily proven to possess such abilities.
White Willow Extract (25mg): A tree bark extract that provides the chemical salicin. It is often utilized as a fat burning ingredient, but there are no grounds to support its use in this way and its use can entail nasty side effects.
Dendrobium Nobile Extract (25mg): An orchid derivative that is used as a performance enhancer. It may also be useful as an energy provider, but many medical experts feel the ways it may interact with the body (good and bad) require significantly more study.
How to Take T6 Black Tube – One capsule is required once or twice a day and should always be taken on an empty stomach.
No customer feedback is available for T6 Black Tube, but Pure Labs use Amazon to market another product, called T6 Black Revolution, and it contains the same ingredients in identical ratios. That being the case the two products should perform in a similar manner. Amazon customer reviews suggest the product may work for some users, but not for others. So although some people state it is "brilliant for weight loss" others claim the pills are "rubbish".
No information is provided about the possible side effects or health considerations use of the product entails, but side effects appear to be an issue for some people so we advise all potential users to refrain from using T6 Black Tube diet pills unless they have attained the approval of their GP.
T6 Black Tube is sold without a money back guarantee.
A 30-capsule "tube" of T6 Black Tube costs £14.99 from the Factory Supplements online store. It is not available from the manufacturer's website, but the site does contain yet another rebranded version of the product, called T6 Black Revolution, that uses the exact same formulation to make the old formulation "even better". Customers who hit the "Buy Now" button are transferred to the relevant sales page at the Factory supplements online store. Each bottle of T6 Black Revolution contains 90 capsules and has a price tag of £33.99.


The ninth DeepSec In-Depth Security Conference takes places in Vienna, Austria, from 17 to 20 November 2015. The focus of the event is industrial espionage and IT security defence. The topics will be addressed with in-depth trainings and over thirty presentations featuring Duncan Campbell and James Bamford as keynote speakers.


When Chia (botanical name: Salvia hispanica) is a species of the genus of the sage plant that belongs to the family of so-called mint. Native to the annual plants herb in Guatemala and Mexico. In terms of nutrition, the focus is on the seeds of the plant. Chia was a popular staple in the Maya many centuries ago. The small seeds are rich in fiber, contain much more calcium than milk, are conspicuous by their high protein content, valuable antioxidants and essential omega-3 fatty acid. All this makes the Chia seed for valuable nutrient powerhouse that should be missing on any diet more!
In fact, the inconspicuous Chia seed is a real powerhouse, therefore is expected today to the so-called "superfoods": ie to the foods that are characterized by a particularly high nutritional value.
Compared to cereals such as rice, wheat or maize, containing 100 grams of seed with 21 g significantly more valuable protein. The same applies to the amount of fiber. At 38%, the plant also consists of oil, what you bargain brings a very high content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
But that's not all: minerals such as calcium, copper, zinc, phosphorus and potassium as well as vitamin A and vitamins of the B group holds the Chia seed ready.
The seeds are tasteless and therefore versatile in the kitchen. So you can enjoy Chia pure or in ground form. Instead of the conventional wheat grain it produces, for example, a great protein-rich meal replacement. Even as a dessert or in Superfood bars to give Chia well and provides the body with valuable vegetable proteins.


A YOUNG woman died in a mystery tragedy on a "romantic getaway" to a lakeside retreat to celebrate the New Year.
Hollie Connis, 23, was found collapsed after her partner set off a fire alarm to get help at the luxury Glan y Gro Lakeside Suites in Bala, Wales.
Police said the cause of the young woman's death is currently unknown — and a young man is helping police with their enquiries.
Owner Rob Moore was woken by a fire alarm in the early hours of the morning in the retreat and gave her CPR in vain.
He said: "They came here for a romantic getaway, my daughter checked them in and my wife saw them during the early hours of New Year's Day and said they were laughing and joking and in high spirits."
Not long after 5am, Mr Moore was woken by the fire alarm and tried to help Hollie.
Mr Moore added: "I tried CPR on her until the ambulance arrived, but it's all a blur as the fire alarm was going off and her partner was in a complete state. It was a horrible situation."
Hollie travelled 50 miles from her home on the Wirral, Merseyside, to the Bala retreat.
Hollie's nan led the tributes to her "gorgeous granddaughter" on Facebook.
Mary Connis wrote: "My gorgeous Granddaughter passed away today. People who know me know for a long time my gorgeous granddaughter lived with me, what can I say Hollie Pops my heart is broken in 2.
"No words to say how all our family are heartbroken. Hope you are at peace my lovely granddaughter."
Hollie died after an ambulance arrived.
Mr Moore said: "It's an absolute tragedy what has happened.
"The police officers have been exceptional and very kind to us all. We are all distraught.
"My wife Ann has spoken to the young man's mother, and she is obviously in an emotional state."
Police officers sealed off the area and forensics teams carried out investigations for several hours yesterday morning.
Temporary superintendent Neil Harrison, from North Wales Police, said: "Our thoughts remain with the woman's family and friends at this difficult time.
"A young man is currently helping us with our enquiries. However, a forensic postmortem examination is scheduled to take place tomorrow to determine the precise cause of death, and the coroner has been informed."

Authors: Greg J. Duncan, University of California, Irvine, and Aaron J. Sojourner, University of Minnesota.
By how much would an intensive two-year center-based intervention, begun at age 1, close income-based gaps in cognitive ability and school readiness? This paper considers both a universal and targeted version of the program, where the targeted version offers the intervention only to children in families with incomes up to 180 percent of the poverty line. Estimates are generated from data drawn from the Infant Health and Development Program (IHDP).
This paper explores the value of noncognitive skills, such as dependability and persistence that children develop in preschool. While pre-K may not always raise IQ, it can help children develop self-control and other skills that are crucial to success in school and in life.
The authors propose and test a model of individual differences in the development of emerging literacy. The model offers a way to evaluate how aspects of the home environment contribute to children's emerging literacy skills. It also explains the relationship between family environment and different aspects of emerging literacy.
An update on research first published by University of Kansas researchers in 1995 highlighting the close link between children's academic success at ages 9 and 10 and their verbal interaction with their parents during their early years. The researchers documented that the vast gap in the amount of words and language heard by poor children and their wealthier peers from birth until age 3 leads to developmental delays that then predict a tougher climb to literacy.
This research notes the greater prevalence of chronic absence among African-American and Latino students and examines the barriers that contribute to the problem.
This research shows that students who are chronically absent in pre-K and kindergarten have the worst outcomes for future attendance, retention and standardized tests.
This research shows that students who arrived at school academically ready to learn—but then missed 10 percent of their kindergarten and first-grade years—scored, on average, 60 points below similar students with good attendance on third-grade reading tests.
This seminal research shows that one in 10 kindergarten and first grade students misses 10 percent of school, and that these absences can affect academic performance.
This study from the RAND Corporation examines students' loss of knowledge and educational skills during the summer months. The study, commissioned by the Wallace Foundation, finds that this loss is cumulative over the course of a student's career and further widens the achievement gap.
This research explores the role summer learning loss plays in exacerbating the achievement gap among poor children and their more affluent peers. Alexander's research links a lack of academic achievement and high dropout rate to summertime learning loss. The research also shows that youth from low-income families suffer significantly from a loss of academic skills during the summer.
This research explores how young people spend time when they are not in school and what youngsters and their parents want from out-of-school-time activities.
This piece includes an interview with Harris Cooper of Duke University and details his pioneering research from 1996 and 2000 (when at the University of Missouri) that found that in reading, children from middle-class families hold their own during the summer. But children from low-income families lose reading and spelling skills during the summer, serving as a possible explanation for the achievement gap between those who have financial resources and those who don't. It also showed that summer learning programs have a significant positive effect.

Saints inflict record loss on Lions

abc.net.au/news/saints-inflict-record-loss-on-lions/2090132
The Brisbane Lions bowed out of season 2005 in embarassing fashion, suffering a 139-point loss to St Kilda at Docklands, the worst defeat in the joint-venture's history.
The Saints' 28.18 (186) to 7.5 (47) was the biggest in the 108-year history of the club.
Small forward Stephen Milne led the way for the Saints, kicking 11 straight goals and racking up 16 touches, and was backed up by skipper Nick Riewoldt who bagged six goals of his own and 22 touches.
The manner in which St Kilda so easily dominated the Lions is sure to worry the Adelaide Crows side who will meet the Saints next Saturday night.
St Kilda came out firing in the opening minutes of the game, kicking the first three goals to race to a 20-point lead before Dylan McLaren stopped the rot with the Lions' first of the match.
The Saints kicked five goals to Brisbane's two in the first quarter, enjoying a 20-point lead at the break, and it could have been even greater had Riewoldt not kicked three behinds.
Nothing was more symbolic of St Kilda's early dominance than Aaron Hamill's ferocious bump on Brisbane livewire Jason Akermanis that sent him from the field with what looked to be an injury to his shoulder.
Moments later the Saints kicked another to extend their lead, a goal to Anthony Corrie late in the quarter Brisbane's only resistance.
The second quarter started poorly for the Lions as the Saints piled on three straight goals, Milne taking his tally to four for the match five minutes into the term.
Brisbane finally snapped the streak with a goal to Daniel Bradshaw 12 minutes in to trail by 34 points.
The floodgates opened for St Kilda when Milne found the crumbs after a marking contest to boot his fifth for the match, followed by three goals in two minutes to Luke Ball, Nick Dal Santo and Milne's fourth for the quarter.
The situation did not improve for the Lions in the third quarter as they watched the home side run riot and kick six goals to one.
Milne's eighth goal on the siren saw the Saints go into the final break leading last year's finalists by 95 points.
The final quarter resembled a training drill and Milne the drill leader as he banged home three more goals as St Kilda punished the Lions with a further eight goals.
It is hard to believe this Brisbane Lions side, so outclassed tonight, has been grand finalists for the past four years and premiers three times.
The loss was also the worst in Leigh Matthews' 396-game coaching career, and it is clear there is plenty of work to be done in the off-season if the Lions are to once again challenge for the flag in 2006.
It was a sad way to send out club veteran Darryl White who played the last of his 268 games for the club in the loss and was chaired off the field.

Learn several ways to work in Premiere Pro with Live Text templates and masking and tracking that are enabled by After Effects, and use Dynamic Link to eliminate intermediate rendering.
The integration of some After Effects features directly within Premiere Pro makes it easy for editors to complete certain tasks without leaving the editing environment.
After Effects compositions can live in a Premiere Pro sequence. Changes made in After Effects are immediately reflected in Premiere Pro using Dynamic Link. This technology gives you a render-free editing and graphics workflow.
The video below shows how you can work on video files in both applications simultaneously, seeing updates immediately in either application.
There are certain graphics operations that editors do so regularly that presenting them inside the non-linear editor is preferable to switching even momentarily from one tool to another because it allows them to stay in the editing mindset.
Live Text templates enabled by After Effects behave exactly as you'd expect: Text fields show up in the Effect Controls panel in Premiere Pro as simple text fields that you can edit. This feature addresses a common workflow where you need to change the text in a motion graphic that was designed originally in After Effects, such as a lower-third.
Read the tutorial: Use Live Text templates from After Effects in Premiere Pro.
If you need to make other adjustments — such as changing the text's scale or color, or altering the motion in the graphic — you can use Dynamic Link to go into After Effects to make those alterations and see them updated in the Premiere Pro project instantaneously. Watch the video below to learn how.
This masking feature enabled by After Effects works with almost every effect in Premiere Pro. You could use it for things like secondary color corrections, highlighting areas of the frame in a special way, and so on. To refine the way the mask looks or access more complex mask tracking features, just send it to After Effects — as shown in the video below. Everything that was done with the mask in Premiere Pro is translated via Dynamic Link in the After Effects timeline.

On Thursday, Walmart said it will expand the assortment of toys it has at all its brick and mortar locations by 30% during the 2018 holiday shopping season. The retailer will offer 40% more toys on its e-commerce site Walmart.com.
At certain locations, the space inside the store dedicated to toys will also be larger, said officials at the chain during a briefing with New York media. Walmart, for those locations, will shift allotted space for seasonal goods, such as merchandise for back to school, to space for toys.
The goal of Walmart is to show its customers the best place for toy shopping is Walmart, said the vice president of the Walmart U.S. toy business Anne Marie Kehoe.
This aggressive push takes place after Toys R Us shuttered hundreds of stores earlier in the year, leaving a window of opportunity for retailers to move in and take additional market share. Last year, sales of toys increased 1% to over $20.7 billion as compared to 2016.
Sales during the first six months of 2018 were up 7% to more than $7.9 billion.
Many businesses, including Walmart, already have laid out their strategies to increase toys sales, and that includes companies that are not known typically for selling toys. Party City will open 50 Toy City locations even though it is not a retailer that traditionally sells toys.
J.C. Penney, Kohl's and Five Below are only a few of the other businesses that already have said they are planning to have more toys for sale during the holiday season of 2018.
One industry analyst said that the taker of the largest share of toy sales since Toys R Us closed is Amazon. The giant in e-commerce owned a market share in 2017 for U.S. toy sales of the upper teens percentage.
Amazon has jumped in already with the release of its top toy list, which came out 10 days earlier than last year. The e-commerce giant is expected to also start handing its holiday toy catalogs out soon, at its Whole Foods stores and send them to members of Prime.
Toys R Us accounted for between 15% and 20% of the entire toy sales in the U.S. in 2017.
Target said it would push more toys this season as well. It had been predicted by some analysts that Target would be the big winner following the demise of Toy R Us, considering many Toys R Us locations were near Target locations.

About Mars Hill Elementary School
Mars Hill Elementary School is located at 200 School House Lane, Mars Hill, NC. Mars Hill High School opened in 1938 with one rock building serving grades 1-12. In 1974, all the high schools in the county combined with the completion of Madison High School. Mars Hill High School then became Mars Hill Elementary School, serving students in Kindergarten through eighth grade. Madison Middle School opened in 1992 leaving Mars Hill Elementary serving only Kindergarten through fifth grade. Since 1950 additions have been made to the campus, the most recent being a large expansion in 2001. Mars Hill Elementary is fortunate to have two playgrounds, one for K-2 and another for grades 3-5. This elementary school enjoys strong ties to Mars Hill University, a Baptist, co-educational college founded in 1856. A part of Madison County, Mars Hill is much like the rest of the surrounding area in that the town is in a rural setting. Since the opening of I-26 between Asheville, NC and Johnson City, TN, Mars Hill is beginning to show signs of growth in the food and services industry.
Mars Hill Elementary Mission Statement
Our mission at Mars Hill Elementary School is to promote lifelong learning for all.
Mars Hill Elementary Vision Statement
Our vision at Mars Hill Elementary School is to create a Professional Learning Community for students, parents and community members.

Dodge reveals "the truth" about the Challenger SRT Demon in its latest commercial. The truth is, not everyone can handle 840HP and going ¼ mile in 9.65 seconds, and that's precisely why they built it.
"We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something!
You use them as a punch line. We have either the time nor the inclination to explain ourselves to a man who rises and sleeps under the very blanket of the freedom that we provide and then questions the manner in which we provide it. We would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want us that road. You need us on that road. You don't want the truth. You can't handle the truth!" says the voiceover and then the secret is revealed by the onscreen line "Fastest Car Ever".
The spot ends with the demon logo and the message "Domestic. Not Domesticated".

HEADLINE Taiwan Travel Act: What signals does it send?
Taiwan Travel Act: What signals does it send?
People's Daily app
US President Donald Trump's signing of the Taiwan Travel Act on Friday has become a piece of sensational news, said an article published at haiwainet.cn.
What is Taiwan Travel Act? To put it in a simple way, it allows US officials at all levels to enter Taiwan, and allows Taiwanese high-ranking officials to visit the US "under respectful conditions" to meet their counterparts from the US Department of Defense and the US State Department. In addition, Taiwanese economic and cultural representatives are encouraged to conduct businesses in the US.
When we look back, from the National Defense Authorization Act to Taiwan Travel Act, what signals does the turbulence between China and the US send to the international arena?
To begin with, various challenges have been cropping up in Sino-US relations after the signing of the travel act.
The US regards China as its major strategic competitor and will soon introduce a package of measures for its "trade war." In this sense, the Taiwan Travel Act will further add new uncertainties to Sino-US relations and become a tool for the US to contain China.
President Trump claimed he would impose trade sanctions on China even before he was elected. Since he took office, Trump has frequently inserted himself in the Taiwan question, by talking with Tsai Ing-wen over the phone, violating the one-China principle. Trump's "businessman-like bargaining" is an important element of his governance style. And Taiwan is only his bargaining chip to make a big deal.
Since Tsai took office, the cross-strait relations have become more strained, which makes the authorities in Taiwan more inclined to seek help from the US.
There are two more reasons for the US to pass the Taiwan Travel Act. One is that the US Congress and other departments aim to contain the Chinese mainland's rapid development. The other is that Taiwan has decided to take the offensive when facing the pressure from the mainland. These reasons echo each other and send a negative signal to the Chinese mainland.
However, both the Taiwan Travel Act and the previously passed National Defense Authorization Act can only be regarded as several new cards Trump played. The US merely considers Taiwan as a chess piece against the Chinese mainland. In emergencies the biggest victim is still Taiwan.
Sun Ta Chien, a member of Kuomintang former member of Legislative Yuan, believes that the Taiwan Travel Act may cause multiple effects on relations between the US, Chinese mainland and Taiwan. First, Tsai Ing-wen will inevitably face mountains of pressure from the mainland. The US tends to put tremendous pressure on Taiwan in the same boat. Beijing will be coerced to take a concrete response to their alliance. In the end, Taiwan will be more likely to abandon its "blur" margin regarding its relationship with the mainland that has existed across the Taiwan Straits over the past half century.
Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, urged Taiwan not to rely on foreign powers in case of being burned in emergencies. He added that the US has undermined the political foundation of Sino-US relations and sent a wrong signal to Taiwan separatists, which will boost their arrogance.
According to a political decision made at the just-concluded First Session of the 13th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, all parties need to adhere to the one-China principle, promote the peaceful development of cross-straits relations on the basis of the "1992 Consensus", foster the peaceful reunification of the nation, and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
China will never tolerate any form of "Taiwan independence."
