Q: how to retrieve data from two input fields simultaniously after submission with one submission? I have an input textarea, a submit button, and an Output textarea.
Essentially, when text has been inputted into the inputTextarea then after submission it sends itself to the OutputTextarea.
I want to read the string lengths of both textareas.
Why, I could just read the first since its the same data?
Here's the catch, I input text into the first field and i have some logic which takes said data and converts it into something else, therefore I need a little statistic for comparison.
Here's what I have tried so far:

    <title>Compression</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CompressionStyle.css">

    <?php

        $BinaryCodeInput = $_GET['InputBinaryCode'];
        $CompressedCodeOutput = $_GET['OutputCompressedCode'];

         $digits = str_split($BinaryCodeInput, 4);

             $replace = array(

                     "" => "",
                     " " => "",
                     "1" => "x",
                     "0" => "y",
                     "00" => "Q",
                     "11" => "R",
                     "01" => "S",
                     "10" => "T",
                     "000" => "U",

                    );

                    foreach ($digits as $val) {

                        $replace[$val];
                    }

                 $CompressedOutputLength =  strlen($CompressedCodeOutput);

      ?>

            <form action="#" method="GET">

As you can see this works, but the problem is, that to get data from the Output source I'll have to press the submit button twice, therefore losing the current output in the output field.

A: You have the below steps in your entire process

*

*Input Text

*Submit Form

*Process the Input Text based on your logic

*Output your processed text

*Print Output Text length

Below is the modified code based on your logic. Please note that I have created a new variable $output_val to store the processed value. I calculated the length and stored in $len_output of this variable and printed.

Compressed Output Code Length: <?php  echo $len_output;  ?>

        </form>

In this code, I have added 20 to the Input Text value (for the understanding I entered only numbers) as an alternate to your Logic. After that displayed the $output_new and its length.
As a simple rule, it is always a good idea to use values from where they are originated rather than from the output field. In your case, I have stored the output value in a variable and used it wherever required, i.e. to output in Output Textarea and to calculate the length.

A: strlen() will return NULL on an empty value, so for the last line, change it to this:

Output String Length: <?php echo (strlen($OutputText)) ? strlen($OutputText) : '0';  ?>

This will give a fallback to zero in the case there isn't a value set already.

Q: Python + Kivy: Dispatching events from backend code I'm building a smart alarm clock in kivy.  To make it modular, I'm building up each of the main widgets (current time, current weather, alarm, etc) using python code (using layout widgets as base classes) and then positioning those widgets on the screen using the kv language file.
Several of these widgets require weather data, and I have written a class that can fetch this data using the wunderground api.  The problem I have is that api requests are limited, and I don't want to have each widget polling for the same data repeatedly.
My solution would be to build a single class that polls the data on a timer (using the kivy Clock class) and then dispatches an event that "new weather data is availible".  The the widget either reads the data from the event (or better) has a reference to the data backend object so it can request the cached data whenever.
I'm not sure how to approach this in the kivy framework.
Where would this backend class live?  Is it part of the root widget class, or part of the "App" class?
Can the backend object be accessed directly by the widgets?  How is that accomplished?
How do I make these widgets aware of my custom "new_data" event, and how can I tell the widget to listen for it?

A: It seems to me, the best solution would be to store your weather data in kivy properties.
Kivy properties will automatically update throughout your kivy widgets.
To set up a kivy property, you import the necessary property, and set your varaible to said property:
from kivy.properties import StringProperty

weatherData = StringProperty()

You can then reference weatherData from your Kivy widgets and they will automatically update.

Done FIXME: needs to use thumb_handler. That didn't work for me initially but it will be important in the long term.
Using the job queue for metadata updates on ?action=purge for large files (or not triggering it at all). Actually the automatic metadata updates on versions changes should use the queue to (though that's not an issue right now too much).
Purging pages that use commons files when they change.
Fixing DatabaseBase::generalizeSQL. This is a bit tricky since it can't be slow either.
getDescriptionRenderUrl() uses https for internal GET requests going through the whole stack...it would be nice to split up the URL used internal from the one given to users so the former can bypass https at the least. I think this contributed to downtime in the past.

If Christopher Columbus were alive today, he'd probably be "de-platformed" and "demonetized" for trying to reach the New World — or even talking about it. Since he's not around to be banned from Facebook or Twitter, and hasn't got a website or a YouTube channel to crush, covering him up with a shroud will have to do. Can you think of any Western male figure who more represents the Patient Zero of toxic masculinity than Christopher Columbus?
The Admiral of the Ocean Sea is apparently too afflicting for the students at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana to see without "triggering" them into a woke cataleptic state. Or so says the school — at the behest of a handful of students. The tyranny of the snowflake minority wins again.
A 134-year-old mural painted by Italian artist Luigi Gregori depicting Columbus' discovery of the New World is to be redacted from sight to placate the sensibilities of the perpetually affronted. Born in Bologna in 1819, Gregori worked at the Vatican and served as artist-in-residence and professor at the University of Notre Dame.
The mural's depiction of Columbus as a "beneficent explorer and friend of the native people hides from view the darker side of this story," wrote University President John I. Jenkins in a letter made public a few days ago. Instead, no story will be told, with censorship preferred over discourse. He continues to stand by his ridiculous decision.
The explorer from Genoa is bad. Very bad. So bad, he can't be discussed — or even viewed. Only removed, lest we ruffle the truly heroic students who must make the harrowing trek past the painting on their way to a feminist studies' class.
Is the history of Soviet Communism "overly romanticized" in class? Or is it merely a matter of having to break some eggs to make those omelettes? What about Marxist Triumphalism?
Another interesting aspect of this story is that it wasn't actually the students of Notre Dame who demanded the Columbus mural be redacted. It was a handful of students, their ranks fluffed up by university employees and alumni, who agitated for the enshrouding of Columbus. They created the impression of general aggrievement where little existed. Notre Dame has a total student enrollment of about 8,500, so you can do the math. What percent of that 8,500 is 340 — or less, if we subtract the alumni and employees who signed on? Apparently, the minority rules — if the majority has been browbeaten into a state of terror and submission. Outrage over Columbus has been weaponized into a political censorship tool.
Instead, the painting will be kept out of sight until such time as it becomes tenable to destroy it. Perhaps it will be removed in the middle of the night like so many college campuses are now doing.
Meanwhile, statues of Lenin — an actual mass murderer, and on purpose — are being erected in America. But never mind. In his case, "art outlives politics." Yes, really.
Probably, this is an unfair characterization of Notre Dame's student body. But it is a fair characterization of Jenkins, and of American college administrations generally. Even when not culturally authoritarian themselves, they seem to be desperately afraid of offending cultural authoritarians in their midst, and abjectly eager to placate them. Whatever the cost, and no matter how petty, pretend, or manufactured the injustice.
Jenkins — who is a Catholic priest — might pause to ponder what else might be considered "problematic" by the woke student body.
It is Christian, to begin with — and so it can be argued (and will be argued) "excludes" those of other faiths. This will be "problematic" for a Catholic university, which Notre Dame still is, at least nominally.
The 2017 Observer letter makes it clear that the list of things to be redacted encompasses a great deal more than poor old Columbus. In addition to its denunciation of the Genoese explorer, it also reviles "Catholic militarism." Clearly the Jesuits — a militaristic order — will have to go. And Catholic scholars such as St. Augustine of Hippo and Desiderius Erasmus. And those gothic buildings — the very structure of patriarchy; oppression embodied in stone and stained glass. All in good time.
For now, the murals will be "covered by woven material consistent with the decor of the space," says Father Jenkins. He adds that "it will be possible to display the murals on occasion." How generous. But maybe only on Columbus Day — until that is gone, too.
Perhaps those "occasions" will be when Notre Dame's Catholic majority pushes back. Perhaps it will one day decide its had enough of its history, faith, and school being vilified and redacted to appease the perpetually discontented, who won't be placated until Notre Dame ceases to be what it is.
Christopher Columbus is quoted saying: "Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World." Unfortunately, the New World Columbus helped shape has become a victim factory run by children outraged by Western Civilization.

a) For the sake of your own I suggest you read my blog Company during working hours, when ye not yet saturated and unwilling. Because here we are dealing with real issues and practical business and its current deterioration due to short-term management. In the environment we live in sustainable enterprises only have medium-term future and sustainability will depend more on their TOPs Managers that hierarchically in the dome. So reflect on the Management and consider it a necessary regeneration relevant item of work.
Bridging the gap and with due humility, let me frame my blog as a publication of Management. I've never brought home publications and technical journals to be read there. The themes of work should be read in time to make them productive work, share with peers and apply if possible. So it's best to book a few minutes for them in working hours.
b) Some of my friends of this blog expected a typical manual prescriptions and recommendations for success in management as the thousands that are published worldwide each month. Rather my intention is to warn that such management should be reviewed. This is not to seek more excellence on the actual, but to analyze whether this should continue to apply, or converselythis is a change was affecting certain groups of Interest (stakeholders) and analyze how we should approach it in the business world. In this context Managers, more even than the TOPs, charge the highest importance.
In line with these thoughts I confess that I loved the "speech" philosopher and assistant professor of sociology Amando de Miguel, who said that entrepreneurs, los managers, persons,yes you can change the world. Yes they can change their small environment. By changing our environment and it would. And people who propose it have an uncanny ability to do.
I agree one hundred percent, a good manager can change your business environment and influence decisively the TOPs, often eventually end up doing what they advise their Managers, which thus emerge as a de facto power in the company.
Amando de Miguel proposes change the business world through managers also artists able to convert his collaborators in artists. In art there is no crisis, the artist is always motivated, the artist becomes a work of art raw material where there was nothing; it is a, or a book, or a scientific experiment, or a discovery, or a good product… This man gets it when an artist.
Do you share these ideas of Professor De Miguel to move the business?
In your role as manager you get timely strongly influence your TOPs?
Would you dare to challenge and fight from your address position against the "establishment" of your corporation if you have demonstrable certainties of error in the making of a decision?
Let's see, I can not trust many TOPs mammoth structures that maintain inefficient despite their high operating costs. It occurs at all levels.
Neither the international management (example the ineffective UN), or the European Union (example 3 presidents and none decides nothing), or National (this government does less bad the previous), or the Autonomous (17 markets crashing into the single European market). And this extends to the Company.
I admire the artists TOPs, that there, clear that there. In fact I've worked for some. But above all, I think the regeneration of Management has to start from levels close to the TOPs + average levels of management of the Company. Including at levels close to the academy TOPs (University, Business Schools , Consulting) There is hope for change towards sustainability.
TOPs consider that there are artists who make their subordinates also artists ???

Q: Ubuntu computer will not start My computer with Ubuntu will not start, I get a message

Stopping system V run level compatibility
  OK

and computer stops.
Am running Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit.
I tried to load Ubuntu off CD both 32 & 64 bit, but then it does not load although BIOS is set to look at CD first to load.
Computer was working fine yesterday.
Same problem on 12.4 LTS 64 bit on reboot from update.

A: Try Easybcd software it is free for home user and install it. open it you will see add new entry click on it go to linux tab add entry click and selcet "swap partition" in it after that click on edit boot menu select the appropriate timeout option and save setting.
if you installed ubuntu inside windows or using wubi then also use this tool and select c:\  drive with "GRUB2" booting options.
Download here:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/EasyBCD.shtml
after starting ubuntu please update it :- sudo apt-get update / upgrade ( try to update all security issue from update package manager )

Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Thursday underwent a series of diagnostic tests after he complained of a burning sensation in his lungs in the morning, his office said.
Doctors at Secunderabad's Yashoda Hospitals declared that KCR, as the chief minister is known, was not afflicted with Covid-19 and there was nothing to worry about his health condition.
"He is absolutely normal. We have conducted routine tests which he undergoes every year," the chief minister's personal physician Dr M V Rao told reporters in the evening.
Accompanied by his son and minister K T Rama Rao, daughter K Kavitha and Rajya Sabha member J Santosh, the chief minister drove to the hospital in the afternoon for a series of diagnostic tests. He returned to his official bungalow Pragati Bhavan in the evening.
According to a statement from the chief minister's office, KCR complained of burning sensation in the lungs. "His personal physician Dr M V Rao, Pulmonologist Dr Navneeth Sagar and Cardiologist Dr Pramod Kumar conducted the preliminary tests," the statement said.
Following their suggestions, the chief minister underwent a CT Scan and other tests at the hospital. "Since he complained of a burning sensation in lungs, we conducted a CT Scan and some other blood tests. The reports are expected on Friday. There is no need for any MRI. He will be alright if he takes complete rest for a couple of days," Dr Rao said.

In gig economy, individuals take risk in hiring 'independent contractors' who lack employer backing
While the disruptive gig economy went gangbusters in the past several years, recent reports show a leveling off, and even a drop in some service areas, as the mainstream economy roars back to life and gig workers seek predictable employment and employer-provided benefits. In an interesting turn, another impact of the gig economy is coming to light as the sector matures, according to A. Vince Colella, a founding partner of Moss & Colella, P.C., a Southfield-based law firm specializing in personal injury and civil rights.
"While much of the conversation on the gig economy has focused on those engaged in providing app-based gig services such as ride hailing or home-based tasks, what has been under-reported is the difficulty for individuals who have been injured or killed as a result of interacting with a gig worker to use legal avenues for pursuing justice," Colella said.
The focus for gig workers who have sought to be recognized as employees rather than independent contractors is their desire for employer-provided insured and paid-time off benefits, training and other employer-provided perks. Similarly, when someone hires a gig service such as Lyft or Task Rabbit, they want the protections of the larger employer, rather than the risks of having an independent contractor drive them from A to B or assemble furniture in their home. Many users of the gig economy don't understand that they may be forfeiting those protections when they use a service.
"Just last week, the Ninth Circuit affirmed that Uber drivers could not sue Uber in a class action lawsuit. As independent contractors, the court ruled they couldn't be certified as a class; instead, they have to pursue their claims as individuals through arbitration," Colella said. "As independent contractors, they don't have employer protections – and neither do the people that use their services and want restitution when something goes awry."
In his experience, Colella said cases against gig workers tend to go to the insurer of the individual; for example, the driver's insurance in the case of an accident or even an assault.
"An individual making a case against a gig worker is unlikely to receive the type of financial remuneration for pain and suffering that could be garnered in a case against an employee in a traditional organization," Colella said. "The lesson here really is the inherent risk when individuals hire a gig economy worker."
In Michigan, the Michigan Limousine, Taxicab and Transportation Network Company Act defines ride-hailing service drivers working for Uber, Lyft and other networks as independent contractors, and went into effect March 21, 2017.
"The implication of this statute is a strict prohibition on suing Lyft or Uber or another ride sharing service should you become injured as a result of the driver's conduct," Colella said.

Q: Selectively build a module from a different kernel directory using Kbuild I'm having trouble in selectively building a module from a different directory using KBUILD.
I have 2 kernel directories
Kernel / kernel-XXX
Let the drivers directory structure be like follows
----kernel
|   |
|   |-----drivers
|       |
|       |-----boom
|           |
|           |----virtual_driver.c
|           |----a.c
|           |----b.c
|           |----c.c
|
|---kernel-XXX
    |
    |-----drivers
        |
        |-----boom
            |
            |---virtual_driver_XXX.c

virtual driver needs a.c,b.c,c.c for compiling.
I have an updated version of virtual_driver_XXX.c in kernel-XXX which also depends on a.c,b.c,c.c
How do I modify the makefile in kernel/drivers/boom directory to pick up virtual_directory_XXX.o from the kernel-XXX directory.
What should be the approach here.
The current makefile in kernel/drivers/boom directory is as follows.
Makefile
obj-y += t.o

t-y   += a.o

t-y   += b.o

t-y   += c.o

t-y  += virtual_driver.o

obj-y += <...>.o

I want something like
Makefile
obj-y += t.o

t-y   += a.o

t-y   += b.o

t-y   += c.o

if (a give condition)

t-y  += virtual_driver_XXX.o

else

t-y  += virtual_driver.o

obj-y += <...>.o

The problem is that I don't have a Makefile in kernel-XXX/drivers/boom since I don't know how to build virtual_driver_XXX using the a.o/b.o/c.o from the kernel/drivers/boom directory.

Doctors of the Church: St. Gregory of Nazianzus
Gregory the Theologian, by Aidan Hart
The next Doctor of the Church on our list is another Cappadocian Father, St. Gregory of Nazianzus, and yes, his name is as difficult to say as it is to spell! Not only did he grow up close to St. Basil, but they were actually very good friends. The two of them first met at Caesarea, where they studied philosophy and rhetoric together, but as St. Gregory travelled the world to continue his studies, he went to Athens, where they met up again! Basil and Gregory did more than just hang out and talk shop; theirs was a truly holy friendship. St. Gregory once wrote about his friend Basil, "This was our competition: not who was first, but who allowed the other to be first."
St. Gregory was a man who liked solitude and quiet, where he could think, write, and pray. Among his works are De Sacerdotio (on the priesthood), 249 theological letters, and over 17,000 verses of poetry! Later in life, he would write De Vita Sua, the story of his own life and spiritual journey.
As much as Gregory loved silence, he knew it wouldn't last forever. He was reluctant to study for the priesthood because he knew it would likely lead to his becoming bishop, but eventually he was ordained a priest by his father (you don't hear that every day!), before his friend Basil consecrated him the bishop of Sasima (in Turkey) in 371.
The most famous contribution of his life came at the Council of Constantinople in 379. St. Gregory was named Bishop of Constantinople and led the Nicaean delegation, the minority group of bishops who were faithful to the Church's teaching from the Council of Nicaea. The Council of Constantinople had the daunting task of dealing with both Neo-Arianism (which said that Christ was human, but not totally divine) and Apollonarianism (which said that Christ was divine, but not totally human). Yikes!
But truly, this challenge was where St. Gregory shown the brightest. He gave five theological orations (similar to an extended homily), which emphasized that Jesus was both fully human, and fully divine, a concept that would become known as the hypostatic union at later Councils. Whereas his opponents were arguing that Jesus took on some of the qualities of being a human, but not all of them, Gregory asserted that Jesus had to take on all parts of our human nature in order to heal us, restore us, and save us. In one oration, he proclaimed, "What has not been assumed [by Jesus] has not been healed."
At the conclusion of the Council, St. Gregory resigned his post and returned to Nazianzus, where he lived out the rest of his life in solitude and peace. St. Gregory died in 390, and truly gives us an example of faithfulness and service!

Still smug about the high growth years?
| Updated on: Jul 08, 2014
Three out of 10 in India are poor: Rangarajan panel
Mayawati slams NDA govt over Rangarajan panel report
Rangarajan panel submits report on poverty
Drop the euphoria for a moment – a third of India is seriously poor. And urban poverty has risen sharply
The latest report on the number of poor Indians shows a third of the population living below the recalibrated poverty lines.
C Rangarajan, a former governor of the Reserve Bank of India and former chairman of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council, was asked to look into the matter after serious doubts were raised about the official poverty estimates put out by the UPA government. The panel has submitted its report, but what the new government will do with that knowledge is a matter of speculation.
The UPA government, caught with its knickers in a twist, has failed to make a dent on poverty. The failure is likely to be countered by a re-packaging of the 'Gujarat model'. Presumably the Government will go about applying that 'model' on a national scale. Will we see more of the jobless growth debacle?
Caveats to growth miracles
Be that as it may, Rangarajan's new poverty lines —₹32 in villages and ₹47 in cities — raise important caveats to the growth experience that the Government seems willing to emulate, if not overtake.
For one, the decline in poverty the UPA claimed to have achieved was of a lesser magnitude than stated earlier. Yes, Rangarajan would say poverty did decline.
The number of poor fell from 463.6 million in 2009-10 to 363 million in 2011-12, according to Rangarajan, and not to 269 million as claimed by the UPA on the basis of the Tendulkar committee's methodology. For the panel, nearly a third — 29.5 per cent — of Indians are below the poverty lines it has re-calibrated.
For another, the new estimate of BPL in urban areas shows that the number of poor doubled in 2011-12 when set against the earlier lower BPL estimate undertaken by the Tendulkar panel. Rising urban poverty points to some flaws in the discourse of growth that sets so much store by urbanisation. Policymaking has failed to make cities a viable option for a flight from rural poverty.
Revealing as the panel's new estimations are, they still conceal as much as all poverty line calculations do. They hide the multidimensionality of poverty. Being poor doesn't just mean living below a level of income calculated by someone in Delhi. Poverty, like age, is not just a number. Like age, it connotes a host of capabilities or lack of them.
Poverty as deprivation
In his classic work on poverty in America, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Shipler describes poverty as the disintegration of capabilities we take for granted. Reading his 2005 book The Working Poor: Invisible in America , it becomes clear that dealing with poverty involves building capacities and access to services such as education and health on a sustained basis.
Poverty is a matter of disempowerment, of the sustained lack of access or ability to access such goods and services that enable advancement in the quality of life. That is how the McKinsey Global Institute saw poverty.
Early this year, a remarkable study by a team from the MGI distinguished abject poverty from deprivation, bare subsistence from a decent standard of living. It developed an Empowerment Line based on eight "essential" needs — food, drinking water, sanitation, energy, housing, health care, education and last but not least, social security.
Applying this metric, the authors found that 56 per cent of the population of India was deprived. Rangarajan's re-calibrated poverty lines tote up almost a third of India in abject poverty. The MGI's Empowerment Line shows more than half not much above the bare subsistence level. Not a very good resource base for resurgent India.
Poverty as dis-empowerment
And yet the McKinsey metric falls a bit short of empowerment. In general terms, this means that the MGI's use of empowerment is somewhat restrictive, even though it paints a large profile of well-being.
The OECD adds that extra element. In 'Policy Guidance Note: The Role of Empowerment for poverty reduction and growth', it considers empowerment as an access to essential services and goods but equally as securing rights in the evolution of policies that affect them.
Economic empowerment then is identified with social and political empowerment reflected in the capacity of the poor to negotiate prices and wages. This becomes more necessary in economies where markets "are characterised by lack of competition, abuse of economic power and poor terms of trade for those who are weaker and enter the market on disadvantaged terms."
The OECD report points to lack of jobs and fierce competition for them as a disempowering situation for they inhibit the power of labour to organise and negotiate wages, with women being particularly handicapped.
Growth empowers?
But it is possible that governments can engender disempowerment while attempting to boost growth, particularly in urban India. Once governments liberalise labour laws that provide workers with rights to secure and negotiate better wages, will that help the poor and vulnerable?
Some might argue that the repeal of rigid labour laws such as sections of the Industrial Disputes Act actually removes the crinkles in the labour market and creates the ground for more jobs and better wages.
But job creation and wage increases are the result of a host of factors. If the years of high growth showed an inverse relationship to jobs it was because Indian manufacturing was undergoing two simultaneous processes.
On the one hand spikes in productivity were replacing labour-intensive techniques. On the other, the vast labour force that has been flooding into the growth centres from a neglected and unproductive agriculture was blunting the industrial workforce's bargaining power.
In fact, organised manufacturing had cracked the rigid code of labour laws by simply increasing the participation of contract and casual labour, even on the shop floor. And this increase was accompanied by a reduction in the cost of compensation as that US Department of Labor study found in its global comparisons of compensation for factory workers across countries some five years ago.
It is not surprising then that Rangarajan's new estimates of poverty in India should find a doubling of the poor not in the villages but in India's urban areas — the epicentres of India's growth 'drivers.'

Ciao'd while watching Chopped Junior. Really?
Like so many cooks, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The pre-game starts a week or two before the holiday and with each day comes a task or two. Stir up the cranberry sauce and roll the pie crusts (freeze 'em). Chop vegetables for the dressing and bake off those pies. Before you know it, you've cruised into the day before the big day (yes, you can make your mashed potatoes the day before). Set the table. Stock the bar. Finally, the kick-off! Chill the wine. Bring the turkey to room temp, season it and stick it in the oven. Cue the seductive aroma that lures guests into the kitchen. We all know this. You can create a magnificent hors d'oeuvres presentation on the sideboard and a lovely selection on your bar cart but everybody slinks into the kitchen - and stays. It's a tailgate for the big game aka dinner.
As time has tumbled the years, the years have tumbled me, too. Count the wrinkles. I used to insist on making EVERYTHING for Thanksgiving. The turkey. The dressing. The sideshows. The pies. Even the rolls, God help me. When family and friends asked, "What can I bring,?" it was all I could do to sputter, "Wine."
But now I've seen the light. I've quarterbacked many a holiday but I've realized that there are some plays I dread. I am not a baker. The pie crusts know this and they always fight back, shrinking in the pie pan. I would rather not make the appetizers either, but I realize that if I assign that task to a guest, she/he may arrive late and that is so not cool. Fumble in the end zone.
So here's my theory re: appetizers: If you are relegated to making the appetizers, you can always buy them (shout out to Trader Joe's stuffed mushrooms). If I were a bigger person, I would do the same. You can serve shrimp cocktail (and you should) and maybe even a crudité platter for those guests who refuse to cast aside their CrossFit and Paleo diets.
Hear me on this, though. While the turkey is roasting, the football games are toasting. That means a dip. That means a time-honored dip. And yes, my teammates, that means Onion Dip. Sure, you can opt for the soup mix based dip, no judgment, but why not make it from scratch? It's super easy and yes, you'll exalt in the applause from the spectators. After all, isn't this what playing for a crowd is all about?
This onion dip is "honest" because it's homemade and "good" because it's downright delish. Its sweet caramelized flavor and sinfully creamy texture make this dip irresistible. If you have the time, refrigerate it overnight and the flavors will sing even more harmoniously. Serve with potato chips, crackers, or vegetables.
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the onions, a generous dash of salt, and the thyme and sautéuntil just beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and golden brown, another 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl and let cool.
Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, and lemon juice to the onions and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and hot sauce to taste. Garnish with the chives.


Quietly spoken but radiating with energy, Danzel Baker aka Baker Boy was completely at ease with the chaos surrounding him when we met in a packed hotel lobby on Sydney's North Shore.
Arriving back from rehearsals for the 26th of January Dawn Ceremony with NITV, his backup crew, manager and producers were milling and chattering excitedly as Baker and I sat in a quiet corner to catch up. It had been some months since I saw him at Bigsound in September last year, and the man opposite me was just that little bit more confident, assured in his message and filled with an endearing curiosity.
Our interview came just before the contentious Australia Day long weekend and just after the premiere of his music video for single Marryuna, plus the announcement that Baker Boy would be supporting 50 Cent and Dizzee Rascal on their upcoming Australian tours.
This interview is featured on the cover of Happy Mag Issue 7. Get yours here.
With each cheeky smile and bashful laugh, a set from Baker Boy reminds us all of just how fun and natural music is meant to be.
Known for the proud and unassuming use of his native Yolngu Matha language, he exploded onto our music scene with his single Cloud 9 in 2017 and since then Baker Boy has become a household name. Dominating Bigsound and triple j's Live at the Steps in Melbourne, it's hard to believe that until last September Baker had never performed live. His set is built on a foundation of boundless optimism and energy, bringing with him a tight collective of cousins, uncles and friends from home. His stage is always full, and his audience's hearts even fuller.
After such an enormous year for the young artist I was curious as to whether 2018 had him feeling daunted or exhilarated, the answer to which I already felt I knew.
And the stage is definitely where he is most comfortable. While conversation flowed easily, you could tell that this hotel lobby was not where Baker Boy felt most like himself. To see him dancing and connecting with his crew of backing singers, dancers and friends you can't help but realise that Baker Boy is an act not for Danzel, but for his community and the people around him.
One issue which has been playing on my mind recently has been the use of Indigenous languages by non-Indigenous artists. When is it ok and when is it not? With the recent release of fellow NT artist Emily Wurramara's new single Ngarrukwujenama and another injection of these sacred sounds into our sphere, I felt like this is a conversation that could not be ignored.
The example I used with Danzel was that of The Preatures' acclaimed track Yanada. Impeccably researched and beautifully delivered, Isabella Manfredi managed to respectfully and creatively engage with language to create a bridge between two cultures. But on the flip side, the opportunity soon arises for other artists to take less considered paths. To this notion Danzel was quietly contemplative.
This is what I find makes me drawn to Danzel as an artist. His confidence in his community and the agenda-less gaze he employs when writing and performing creates a powerful sense of inclusivity. Filled with humility and positivity as Baker Boy, Danzel is bringing everyone closer to Indigenous culture, and showcasing how we can use music to make Australia stronger.
In amongst all this however, the early days of Baker Boy were not so easy. Unsure whether to chase the sudden success Cloud 9 received, Danzel found himself questioning what the next move should be. With next to no performing experience and a phenomenal support network at home, Baker Boy was a project walking a fine line of short-lived exposure.
Danzel went on to explain that it was his father who pushed him to take what was being offered, and run with it as far as it could take him.
And it's his community back home and the support of his family and friends which have kept him going. Hardly ever seen on stage without the enormous posse of co-performers, it's these relationships that keep Baker Boy's feet on the ground.
With an album due for release in the middle of 2018, Baker Boy is already taking this year by storm. Just announcing his upcoming support tour with 50 Cent and Dizzee Rascal, Danzel was over the moon, gushing with excitement for this enormous opportunity.
When the tour came up in our chat he just shook his head, eyes wide.
Baker Boy is undeniably one of the most exciting new artists in Australia right now. Inventive and utterly his own person, he has carved for himself an opportunity to redirect the conversation of Indigenous music out of the political playing field and into a space where we can all connect on common ground.

Our miracle baby
HAPPY FAMILY: Dr Jennifer Kee, Mr Adrian Lim, and their seven-month-old daughter, Elizabeth.PICTURE COURTESY OF ADRIAN LIM

After 10-year wait, couple have first child who was conceived against the odds
Benita Aw Yeong
For six months, she lay on a hospital bed.
She avoided any attempt to even sit up and limited herself to a short shuffle to the bathroom once a day.
Dr Jennifer Kee was not in any way hurt, but she was doing all she could to keep the miracle child growing inside her womb.
"I was so grateful for at least having the chance to be pregnant. I was focused on bringing this chance as close to the finish line as possible," says the 39-year-old housing agent who has a doctorate in life sciences.
The child growing inside her was truly a surprise. For about 10 years, she and her husband, Mr Adrian Lim, a programmes manager at a multinational company, had been trying for a child.
It had been a lifelong dream for Dr Kee, who grew up in a family of four children. Except that the dream was dashed after a routine appendicitis operation she had when she was 22.
Dr Kee recalls: "I remember waking up and having a nurse tell me that there was a cyst in my right ovary and that it had been removed."
Knowing full well that it would curtail her chances of getting pregnant, the couple tried to get pregnant through natural means.
When their efforts proved futile after a year, they opted for in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) but there were no results after two rounds.
The couple also sought help from traditional Chinese practitioners and experts overseas, including those based in Thailand and the US, but they all had the same message: That it was close to impossible for the Lims to have a biological child.
Bouts of anger and denial through the years were common, reveals Dr Kee, who confesses to wondering if she could have done something better.
"There was also a period of time when three close friends got pregnant. Occasionally, I would even have friends telling me that they conceived without even wanting to. These little things added to my painful yearning (for a child)," she says.
"I remember a random stranger who asked me as I was crossing the road whether I was married and why I wasn't having kids. Chinese New Year also became a chore as well-meaning relatives queried us about why we weren't having kids. It wasn't like I didn't want them. I couldn't have them," Dr Kee laments.
After close to a decade of heartbreak, Dr Kee and her husband gave up on the hope of conceiving naturally.
Then one day, she started bleeding.
Finally, a month later, when she consulted her doctor, Dr Christopher Chen, who runs a specialist practice in reproductive medicine in Gleneagles Hospital, a surprise awaited her.
An ultrasound revealed the presence of a baby.
"I absolutely did not expect it to see a foetus. Her track record was so bad," Dr Chen explains, referring to his patient's complicated medical history.
But the surprise and happiness was short-lived as Dr Kee's bleeding was a sign that a miscarriage might be coming.
Dr Chen, who had helped in the world's first IVF triple pregnancy, quickly diagnosed that his patient had life-threatening complications.
Besides being unusually low-lying, Dr Kee's placenta had invaded the uterus walls and had embedded itself so deeply that it could cause serious bleeding, possibly leading to death, after delivery.
Still, the Lims were so overjoyed with their shot at parenthood that the bad news did not dampen their spirits.
But because the pregnancy was so unstable the visit to the doctor quickly turned into a six-month-long wait of hoping and praying for the safe delivery of the child.
"We woke up each day not really knowing if we were going to lose the baby. We just focused on the present... taking one step at a time," says Mr Lim.
Dr Kee was on a constant drip which administered drugs into her system to help keep the pregnancy.
Despite the many needles, plus the fact that her muscles started weakening from the long days of bed rest, Dr Kee kept at it.
Things took a scary turn at the 8½-month mark of her pregnancy. The baby's heartbeat was dropping. Dr Chen then decided to deliver the child the next day.
Dr Chen recalls: "It was with great anxiety that I did the operation. I even called a colleague to be on standby to help if the bleeding was unstoppable, which could mean losing the mother.
"It was a miracle that there was minimal blood loss during the 1½-hour-long operation."
On Sept 27 last year, the Lims welcomed their miracle baby, Elizabeth.
Though the whole journey cost the couple a "low-six-figure" sum, they are happy with the privilege of being parents and they treasure every moment with their daughter - even if Dr Kee wryly admits she cannot say that she enjoys changing diapers on sleepless nights all the time.
Says Dr Kee, who has put her career on hold to stay home with the baby: "I am really grateful for this opportunity to spend time with Beth.
"We know that she will only be a baby once in her lifetime and this is truly such an enjoyable time we have together."
"Chinese New Year also became a chore as well-meaning relatives queried about why we weren't having kids. It wasn't like I didn't want them. I couldn't have them."

I had been working around the world in the field of tourism and industry, but my dissatisfaction made me understand that the things I was doing weren't the proper ones to cultivate my need of knowledge and personal growth.
In 2005 I decided to get in touch with the world of the Personal Well-Being by starting an Ayurvedic Training , the knowledge of the laws of life, and also studying the massage Therapy. In 2011 I achieved the MCB Diploma – Head Lifeguard Masseur, released by Lombardy region in Italy.
Going on with my studying, my interest for Ayurveda grew more and more, because I understood how vast and complete was Its approach to the Psycho-Physical Well- being of every single individual.
My Thirst of knowledge didn't end after achieving the Ayurvedic Operator Diploma in 2008 and the certified Yoga Instructor Diploma in 2013, but stimulated me to study the Oriental disciplines, under the guide of new Masters, in Italy and India.
While in Italy I was elaborating the themes of self knowledge, in my annual journeys to India I studied many disciplines for the Well-Being.
During my journeys I experimented the effectiveness of the relation between Yoga and Ayurveda for meditation, mind clearness, in order to learn new Veda teachings under the guide of Indian Masters and Doctors.
My need of understanding how to have a full and happy life, in harmony with myself, the others and everything around me.
Year after year, step by step, sorrow after sorrow but much satisfaction, I made treasure of every single thing I had learned during my divulger work.
While traveling and working around the world, I opened my mind and heart, becoming aware of how a hastily life can lead to pain, uneasiness and anger towards the world.
What do I propose to those who want to start this journey towards knowledge?
Well let us know each other!?

Are you one of those people who's afraid to pound nails into freshly painted walls for fear that you'll put a hole in the "wrong" place? Well, fear no more. Hanging wall decor at random is easier than ever and can give a space a sense of individuality that perfect gridlike arrangements can't.
The key is to keep the arrangement loose but the spacing tight so that the overall effect is one large focal point. Repeat key elements — colors, materials, shapes — within the arrangement for a look that is casual yet pulled together.
Create loosely arranged gallery walls in family spaces for a fun effect, in formal areas for a touch of informality, in modern rooms for a dose of personality, in work spaces for inspiration and in small vignettes for spontaneity.

Hour Stay Streams. Or Films Starring Mermaids. Or Mailed To You In A Field.
Posted on April 4, 2018 September 11, 2020 inCategoriesFashion Show
Over the past several weeks, the Kentucky Derby Competition has been planning and rescheduling our occasions for later within the yr. As the Official Trend Week for the Metropolis of LA proclaimed by Mayor Eric Garcetti & California State Senator Ben Allen we're proud to be a leader in supporting the rising group of artists and designers which might be part of the cultural renaissance in Los Angeles and bringing them to the world stage.
To start with, the coronavirus appeared prefer it was primarily a respiratory illness — many patients had fever and chills, had been weak and tired, and coughed a lot, although some people don't show many signs at all. The 2020 Buddies of Winship Trend a Remedy Style present was held Monday, March 9, on the St. Regis Atlanta.
By the top of the style week, the event's streams had totaled over eleven million views and helped generate more than RMB20 million ($2.eighty two million) in gross merchandise quantity. The brand's first trend show, held on the Plaza Resort in New York in 1995, was a relatively small manufacturing.
Gull said she knew she wanted to be an Indigenous clothier since she was 5 years previous and she was first proven how to make moccasins at the age of eleven. Underneath her business, Cree Fashion by De Lores , she makes all kinds of handmade crafts and attire including hats, masks, ribbon skirts, gloves, purses, mukluks, earrings and necklaces.
As a viewer making an attempt to absorb all of it, the times felt like an emotional roller coaster the place the rare live vogue present — outdoors with mask-wearing visitors — could feel simultaneously admirable and reckless, even when watched on a display.

Fire rips through Clear Lake condo complex
This is a legal mess that's been going on for two years after the storm. After the judge's ruling Monday, it's likely not over for homeowners pitted against each other. The judge ruled that no insurance money from Hurricane Ike will be spent on insuring or securing the property.
The ruling came on the same day the complex was nearly destroyed by a fire some are calling suspicious.
The fire was extensive, destroying two buildings and damaging two more. It was too much of a coincidence for homeowner Michelle Holmes.
"I think it's very suspicious. It just happened to be in the office where all the records were," she said.
Authorities say the fire at The Landing Condominiums on NASA Parkway at Kirby started just after midnight Monday. There were no injuries but the fire was massive. At its peak, more than 60 firefighters helped to contain and put out the blaze.
The Landing is on seven acres and is vacant. Electricity and gas were turned off after the property was damaged by Ike.
"It's very suspicious. We don't have any evidence of who did what yet, but there was no gas and no electric at the property," said Mitchell Kastine, a lawyer for the owners of the condominium.
Kastine represents 11 condo owners at The Landing. Homeowners say they want insurance money from Ike damage to be held in receivership, meaning they do not want insurance proceeds spent without their vote. The HOA representing over 100 other condo owners say it's time to either repair of demolish the property.
"There are 10 owners who believe that they know better than 110 owners what to do with the Landing. Ten owners have held up this entire project and we just simply need the judge to let the majority rule," said Michael West with The Landing's HOA.
A lawyer representing The Landing's HOA says the 11 condo owners have had more than one opportunity to vote on how the money will be spent. In the meantime, how the fire started remains a mystery.
"The fire is under investigation; as for what the cause is, it continues at this time; we do not know a cause," Seabrook Volunteer Fire Department Chief Ray Cook said.

Parents positive about classes
Mums and dads are likely to sign up for parenting classes – but only if there is adequate funding, according to new research.
Academics at the University of Warwick have conducted a three year trial to evaluate the success of the classes proposed by the Government. They found that the sessions held were popular with parents, however when funding available to the providers of the classes was withdrawn there was a sharp decrease in activities and parents' participation.
The CANparent trial evaluation was led by Professor Geoff Lindsay, director of the Centre for Educational Development, Appraisal and Research (CEDAR) at the University of Warwick. He said: "The trial indicated that parents are keen to attend classes and those who did were overwhelmingly positive about their experience. However the number of parents participating dropped when the number of providers decreased from 12 to six following removal of funding worth £100 per parent."
The trial aimed to evaluate parenting classes aimed at parents of all children aged 0-5 (later changed to 0-6 years) in three areas: Middlesbrough, High Peak in Derbyshire, and Camden in London. The sessions were offered to all parents and designed to enhance parenting skills and confidence as a parent, stimulate a commercial market for the classes and prevent the need for future expensive support for parents who were struggling.
Held in two phases (2012-14 & 2014-2015) a key factor during phase 1 was the provision of a £100 voucher for each eligible parent to attend a programme of parenting classes delivered by an approved provider. One of the major changes during the second phase of the trial (2014-15) was the withdrawal of the vouchers.
Professor Lindsay said: "The classes provided during both phases helped improve parents' confidence in their parenting skills. They reported the sessions have led to changes in their behaviour, with positive impact on their children. In addition mothers and fathers said they would recommend them to friends and many have done so. This indicates the importance of gaining and maintaining momentum as a key factor in the successful expansion of the uptake of the sessions. However parents in phase 1 were reluctant to pay for classes."
In addition, whereas phase 1 (2012-14) of the CANparent trial was successful in encouraging providers to deliver the courses, phase 2 saw the number of providers drop from 12 to six, of which only four were active in delivering parenting classes, as they received no direct subsidy available from the vouchers available in phase 1. Due to the lack of classes on offer the number of parents enrolling in phase 2 was just 164 compared with 2956 during phase 1.
The final report of the evaluation recommends that the government at national and local levels should recognise the value of parenting classes as they were found to have a positive impact on parents throughout the trial. It also recommends local government and the local NHS should be open to working with providers to offer support to service users. Finally future trials should analyse how and when to move from a subsidised phase, such as the use of vouchers, and what support may need to be put in place.
The final report of phase 1 is available here
The work of the trial was conducted by third sector organisations that provided parenting classes and led by a consortium of Family Lives (previously Parenting UK) and Ecorys, who were also responsible for leading a market development programme across the country on CANparent, developing its website and developing the CANparent quality mark.

Airport Drayage uses the accurate data EROAD generates to create a safer environment for their drivers
Detailed, consistent data boosts driver safety
Airport Drayage is a multi-generational family company that has served the Pacific Northwest for the past 60 years. Safety is a key value for the team and while they haven't had huge issues with safety, they knew that they could be doing better.
When an experienced and valuable driver, Larry Skoglund became available to join them in the office, the team saw a great opportunity for their driver improvement and safety program. Having previously owned his own trucking company, Larry understood the challenges of running a business as well as the importance of safety behind the wheel.
Using EROAD's in-cab technology, the team leveraged accurate data from the system to reduce Airport Drayage's exposure to risk and create a safer environment for their drivers.
"Prior to EROAD we were more reactive than proactive," says Airport Drayage Vice President Devyn Lomax. "With today's world, and litigation being so heavy on people's mind, you need to take a proactive stance on safety. People see a commercial vehicle and think that we are a good source of money."
Having an experienced driver like Larry leading their safety program, they were able to build a partnership-oriented approach to safety where drivers and the back-office worked together to support improvement. Larry understands what the drivers go through every day and can help them successfully modify what they're doing to be safer.
"We aren't micromanaging. They know that we are watching, and we approach it from a stance of 'we're all in this together,'" says Lomax. "We have conscientious drivers. We pay by the hour and not by the mile, so they understand that their safety comes before speed."
As Larry delved into the data, he found actionable insights with the EROAD leaderboard and safety scores. He started slowly and then with time delved into the detailed data provided by the system. Larry is now able to systematically review each driver's safety record and work one-on-one with drivers who stand out from the pack.
When interacting with the driver, Larry's experience behind the wheel is readily apparent. When he identifies an event in EROAD worth talking about (speeding, harsh braking, etc.) he takes a tactful approach with the driver. Sometimes he just sends a text message so to not interrupt their life in the truck with a phone call. Other times he will have a conversation with the driver when they are in the office. Larry works to see that drivers' needs are accommodated where possible, and most importantly, that they get home to their families safely.
With a systematic and diligent approach, Larry has been able to help drivers improve significantly. The improvement was so dramatic that over a period of only a few months, they were able to reduce their safety and compliance violations to practically zero.
With their team's emphasis on safety, they are also able to keep their exposure to legal risks to a minimum.
Larry has also expanded his efforts to include reports on where most of the speeding events happen. "On the freeways we are so used to driving at what we see as the speed of traffic, nobody notices when it drops from 60 to 50 mph," says Larry. These reports help drivers identify areas of risk before heading out on the road.
For future improvements at Airport Drayage, they plan to focus retaining the driving talent that they currently have.
"We don't think of it as a driver shortage problem, but a driver retention problem. Driving a truck is a skilled position and we are working to be in a position where we are the company that people want to come and work with," says Lomax. With their keen attention to safety and a family mentality, they are sure to be an attractive team now and into the future.
Stellar Audit
The team's impressive attention to detail with EROAD also had an important side benefit. They were recently audited by the Oregon Department of Transportation, and the auditor only found an $8.64 discrepancy in their tax payments. While their initial inclination was to fight the issue, upon consideration they just laughed it off as many other businesses have far more serious issues.
The audit process was incredibly easy thanks to the reports provided in the EROAD Depot. "You use EROAD?" said the auditor. "Good, this will be easy," he said. And finding so little discrepancy, the auditor even told them "You won't be audited again." Clearly less than $9 discrepancy isn't worth his time to complete another full audit.
