Q: Selecting the individuals from a group of jQuery elements If I use jquery to select all my text inputs:
var inputs = $('#form input[type="text"]');

They are wrapped in jQuery. I can do whatever I want with them.
inputs.css('height', '1000px');
//muhahaha!

As a group they abide. But I seem to be missing something. I know I can see each one individually as if it was an array of objects.
console.log(inputs[0]);
// <input type="text" />

But the above output is just the html; when I do that it's no longer a jQuery object :(
inputs[0].css('font-size', '100px');
// Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLInputElement> has no method 'css'

How do I continue to use jquery's methods on the individual without having to wrap each element again, or is this not possible for some strange, dark, inexplicable reason?
Didn't even know where to begin searching this one, and my jQuery journey has not lead me to the answer thus far. Thanks!

A: Have a look at this page: jQuery Filtering
inputs.eq(0).css('font-size', '100px');

Should do the trick in this case

A: see this function .eq() in Jquery-API
When access the Dom-Node-Collection in JQuery via Array-Index, you get the RAW Dom-Elements, if you select the index with the given method above, you'll get feature-enhanced jQuery-Wrapped-Elements.
See docs.

A: The only way to avoid wrapping each element again($(inputs[0]).css('font-size', '100px'))
would be using pure JavaScript. Example: inputs[0].style.fontSize = "100px";

A Record worthy only of contempt!
The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and eliminate the nationwide right to abortion dominated one of the court's most consequential terms. The emboldened 6-3 conservative majority, with three nominees of President Donald Trump, wasted little time expanding the rights of gun owners to carry firearms in public, strengthening the role of religion in public life and sharply curtailing the Biden administration's power to combat climate change.
This followed by a dozen categories of shame, political self-interest, decisions focused again and again on reversing the hard-fought gains of decades. Even worse than the scumbag Trump they mostly kneel before as their demigod…the results of almost every decision they made was to glorify a distinct and historically backwards minority of Americans, overruling the sentiments, needs and heart of the majority of this American nation.
Religious nutballs own our Supreme Court
May 3, 2022 May 3, 2022 1 Comment
From the National Women's Law Center
Tonight, a draft Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked. The language in that opinion is outrageous, irresponsible, and shocking—and the unsurprising culmination of a decades-long plan to end our right to abortion. It also confirms what we've already known: the Supreme Court has been politicized and weaponized by extremist politicians who want to take away our rights.
If the opinion that was leaked tonight is finalized, our fundamental right to reproductive autonomy, agency, and freedom will be eroded beyond recognition, and 50 years of settled law will be obliterated.
Any Justice who signs onto this opinion is fueling the harm and violence that will happen to people who become pregnant in this country.
If you only do one thing tonight, support abortion funds who are fighting to ensure people have access to care no matter what the Supreme Court says. Follow this link for a list of abortion funds to support.
I'll be honest: the road ahead is scary. But we will never stop fighting for a world where our bodies, lives, and futures aren't controlled by the court, anti-abortion extremists, or politicians who try to shame us. Until then, we will need all of you, and all of us, today, tomorrow, and beyond.
By the age of 22, I had twice broken a religion-based, crap law, in my birth state, Connecticut. A state that bragged on itself as the Constitution State, BTW. I'd paid for one illegal abortion. I had a vasectomy. Oh yes, in particular, representatives of the Holy Roman Catholic Church in my state, doing their G_d's Will, didn't want any opportunity available for individuals to thwart what they considered heaven-sent law.
And, now, the highest court in this land is preparing to overturn settled law on the basis of their religious and political beliefs. Screw science, screw virtually unanimous studies about women's rights or a legal system that supports choice over an ideology leftover from the Dark Ages.
A Supreme Court that picks a political side in this manner is no longer free and progressive. They should be judged with the contempt they deserve. They don't deserve the respect one might show to an ignorant animal.

Christian nationalist assault on democracy still trying to be unnoticed
July 26, 2021 July 25, 2021 4 Comments
In April 2018, researcher Frederick Clarkson exposed the existence of Project Blitz, a secretive Christian nationalist "bill mill" operating below the radar to shape and enact legislation in dozens of states, using a network of state "prayer caucuses," many of which had unsuspecting Democratic members. Its plan was to start with innocent-seeming bills, such as requiring public schools to display the national motto, "In God We Trust," and to culminate with laying the foundations for a "Handmaid's Tale"-style theocracy, enshrining bigotry in law under the guise of "religious freedom."
Salon was the first to report and build on Clarkson's findings, as well as subsequent progressive organizing efforts which eventually drove Project Blitz back underground, following a high-profile USA Today exposé (Salon follow-up here.) Now, three years later, Clarkson, a senior research analyst at Political Research Associates, has unearthed the playbooks Project Blitz has used since going dark, and discussed their implications with Salon in an exclusive interview.
Clarkson told Salon, "While most people to the left of the Christian right view the Project Blitz playbook with revulsion, I see it as a gift to democracy. The playbook and their accompanying briefings and events laid bare their intentions and their game plan." Because of that, he continued, "We were handed a vital tool for the defense of democratic values and, arguably, the wider defense of democracy itself. The things that happened in response, I think, are underappreciated, even by some of those who should be taking great pride in their victories."
RTFA. Explains more than a few weird happenstances in our own state of New Mexico. Already had one recent effort to have "in god we trust" emblazoned on every public building in the state. Except this ain't the bible belt. Yet.

Fox News is turning the Republican Party into a suicide cult — A reasonable goal for Trump voters
May 8, 2021 May 8, 2021 24 Comments
Tucker Carlson really wants his audience to die. The notorious Fox News host and primary mainstreamer of white nationalist views was at it again on Monday night, presenting the coronavirus vaccine as some kind of evil conspiracy and discouraging his audience from getting it…
"How effective is this coronavirus vaccine?" How necessary is it to take the vaccine?" Carlson asked, with his usual feigned expression of skepticism.
He went on to defend the honor of "anti-vaxxers" and lambast social media sites for kicking off people who spread misinformation, claiming, falsely, "there are things we don't know about the effects of this vaccine and all vaccines by the way." This is typical Carlson rhetoric. He doesn't exactly come right out and tell people that vaccines are a nefarious plot. He simply claims he's "asking questions," allowing the audience to believe they are practicing critical thinking when what they're doing is the opposite: rejecting evidence in favor of outrageous conspiracy theories…
What's weird about this situation, as many people have pointed out, is that Carlson, Ingraham, etc. are actively trying to get their own audiences killed. Nearly 2% of people who test positive for COVID-19 die of it. For Fox News viewers, who tend to lean older, the risk of death is much higher. Nearly half of male GOP voters say they won't get the vaccine, and it's a certainty that many of them will die because of it. It's usually not considered particularly smart business practice to get your own customers killed, but that's exactly what Carlson and his fellow travelers are doing.
But if you try sometimes
Well, you might find
You get what you need…

Extremists in Blue spark "concern" in folks politically deaf-and-blind
March 22, 2021 March 21, 2021 2 Comments
The John Birch Society was founded in 1958. Committed to racism, reactionary politics, bigotry and inequality…their organizers went forth as this fascist club grew into thousands. And a critical part of the American body politic they targeted was police departments.
The third, most recent generation of the KKK was founded in the 1950's not only as a terrorist organization opposing the struggle for civil rights in the GOUSA…their terror was as likely to focus on white supporters of civil rights and equal opportunity for all non-white Americans…as Black and Brown activists leading those struggles. A critical part of their organizing tactics was inside police departments, North and South.
Reporters, editors, liberal politicians, conservative politicians…who say they had no idea this was going on…either had their heads up their butts or they are lying to you.
You didn't have to play a leadership role in civil rights activism to know who was working to recruit cops. And soldiers, too, BTW. But, American cops are always the first rank of suppression to be brought into action against any kind of insurgency in this land. What would have been surprising would be fascist-minded gangs of racist thugs skipping over fertile soil to grow their poison.
This ain't sanitized high school civics. This ain't Officer Jimmy guiding schoolkids across a busy intersection on the way home from grammar school. And I'm not saying they've succeeded in reworking local PD's into a Gestapo. But, they'd love to try…and succeed. Stepping back and gasping in shock and amazement is absurd.
Now, here's a link to the article. Read what made it into the pantywaist press!
FACEBOOK ain't cracking down on their favorite rightwing bigots
December 15, 2020 April 25, 2021 3 Comments
Several data scientists have quit their jobs at Facebook following the presidential election over frustration at the company's unwillingness to crack down on hate speech and misinformation coming from right-leaning pages. In a goodbye note they wrote and shared companywide, as seen by BuzzFeed News, the departing employees specifically said their extensive efforts to put out flames have been meaningless because of Facebook's, "very apparent interest in propping up actors who are fanning the flames of the very fire we are trying to put out."
They concluded that, while Facebook has continued developing its automated tools and been successful at reducing violence reports through targeted interventions, it's never going to be enough so long as the company continues turning a blind eye to hateful content shared by the likes of Trump and right-leaning pages…
Surprise, surprise. Smoke and mirrors are generally sufficient to ease consciences for advertisers…and Zuckerberg. Time will tell if the unruly horde of users will act up and reduce FB profits.
Texas' official says grandparents are ready to die for US economy — and they must!
The lieutenant governor of Texas argued in an interview on Fox News Monday night that the United States should go back to work, saying grandparents like him don't want to sacrifice the country's economy during the coronavirus crisis.
Patrick claimed after speaking to over a hundred people over the phone that there's a consensus that they don't want to "lose our whole country" over the current public health crisis and face an economic collapse…
Health experts have made clear the coronavirus poses a particular danger for older patients – 60 years old and older – who face the highest risk of serious illness or death from the rapid spread of COVID-19.
This rightwing asshat calls 100 "experts" who agree that sending folks back to work rather than sheltering in place – halting quarantine from a highly-infectious disease – makes economic sense in his distorted understanding of what the result could be.
Aside from his obvious failing at essential humanity, Patrick's ignorance of cause-and-effect in the firestorm of a plague is downright criminal. First, he thinks the death of thousands [or millions] is OK if it returns our economy to profitability. Second, the man is a fool if he thinks this coronavirus plague will not infect a critical mass of people of all ages if turning your back on public health standards of conduct and sanity is allowed to prevail. Crushing the US economy.
No doubt his "experts" qualify as such because they donate to political campaigns for cretins – candidate and voters alike.

Prince Harry and Meghan celebrate LGBTQ+ charities for Pride Month
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are following Pride-focused Instagram accounts.

Duchess Meghan shares photo on her 1st Mother's DayIn a photo posted on her and Prince Harry's Instagram account, Meghan appeared to be holding the feet of her newborn son, Archie.i-Images/Polaris
Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, kicked off Pride Month by declaring that "love is love."
"This month we pay tribute to the accounts supporting the LGBTQ+ community - those young and old, their families and friends, accounts that reflect on the past and are hopeful for a deservedly more inclusive future," the new parents captioned a June 1 Instagram post. "We stand with you and support you. Because it's very simple: love is love."
The @sussexroyal Instagram account used by Harry and Meghan is now following 11 accounts that support the LGBTQ+ community. It follows the tradition they began last month, when they followed mental health accounts, of rotating the Instagram accounts they follow each month based on "causes and social issues" they support.
Their latest post features a photo of Princess Diana, Harry's late mother, who was a pioneer in her efforts to destigmatize and change misconceptions about HIV/AIDS. In the 1980s, when HIV/AIDS was just emerging and was stigmatized as a disease affecting homosexual men, Diana famously held hands with AIDS patients.

One of the charities followed by Harry and Meghan in their new post is the Elton John AIDS Foundation, founded by Sir Elton John, a close friend of Princess Diana.

Harry has continued his mother's work, even traveling to Amsterdam last year to join forces with John at the International AIDS Conference.
Harry and Meghan, who gave birth to their son, Archie, last month, also followed a charity that supports older LGBTQ+ adults, one that offers safe homes for LGBTQ+ youth and one that works with institutions to create "inclusive and accepting cultures," among others.

The couple also highlighted a few U.S.-based organizations, including the Trevor Project, which provides crisis intervention to LGBTQ+ youth, the Matthew Shepard Foundation, founded in honor of Shepard, who was killed in a hate attack in Wyoming at age 21, and the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ civil rights organization in the U.S.
June is celebrated as Pride Month around the world. New York City is hosting World Pride this year, as advocates come together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, riots in New York City that are seen as a catalyst for the gay rights movement.

It's time to 'break out the top hat' for Mayor's annual 'Tree Lighting Holiday Show'
Andrew Sullender | Springfield News-Leader
Saying it's time to "break out the top hat," Springfield Mayor Ken McClure announced his annual "Tree Lighting Show" will be held on Nov. 20 from 7 to 8 P.M.
The hour-long tree lighting presentation in downtown Park Central Square will be broadcast by KY3 and feature a variety of performances from several area performers.
"The 2021 mayor's Tree Lighting Ceremony is a celebration of the performing arts and all of the many performers who have helped make Springfield and the Ozarks a thriving hub for entertainment," McClure said in the announcement.
Performances for the event will be coordinated through the Ozarks Performance Art League (OPAL), a collaboration between Springfield Ballet, Springfield Little Theatre, Springfield Regional Opera, and Springfield Regional Arts Council.
At the announcement, Springfield Ballet Executive Director Abigail Lind said OPAL was formed to preserve Springfield's arts community through the pandemic.
"Collectively prior to COVID-19, these four organizations produced 50-plus productions, with nearly 200 performances, and provided learning to 49,000 students as a whole. The art sector in Springfield generates $26.9 million in economic activity annually. Like so many industries COVID-19 caused hundreds of shows to be canceled, stages to be darkened, halted outreach efforts and lost revenue."
Saying that their groups have lost more than $50 million in revenue during the pandemic, Lind hopes the tree-lighting show will begin the comeback of Springfield's arts community.
"The arts sector breathes life and energy into the Ozarks," she said. "We are honored to be a part of the mayor's tree lighting ceremony in 2021. Our stages are bright again and we are excited to welcome everyone back to a thriving arts and culture community in the upcoming months."
McClure said this event shows how Springfield has adapted to the pandemic and the "resilience" of the city's people.
"This year, like 2020, has been very, very difficult. We've lost lives and sacrificed livelihoods. We've endured the most difficult of circumstances for two years in a row. But I'm proud now as the mayor that we can continue to find ways to coexist with COVID. We've learned how to adapt to the threat of that very, very dangerous virus," he said.
"So we look forward to seeing all of you at the tree-lighting event. I will just say in closing that it is time to break out the top hat."

kottke.org posts about Snoop Dogg
Dinner with Don Rickles
posted by Jason Kottke Sep 25, 2017
Comedian Don Rickles died earlier this year. For his last project, he sat down to dine with more than a dozen comedians, actors, and directors, who interviewed the comedy legend in a series of videos for AARP. Don's dining companions include Marisa Tomei, Sarah Silverman, Zach Galifianakis, and Martin Scorsese. I've embedded two of the videos: Vince Vaughn and Snoop Dogg. In the Snoop video, Rickles and Snoop compare notes on freestyling and they show a 1978 clip of Rickles roasting Orson Welles:
Orson Welles…30 years ago you were handsome and now we're going to put "Goodyear" on your face and fly you over the beach for a half hour.
I was laughing just as hard as Welles was in the clip.

The 50 greatest hip-hop songs
posted by Jason Kottke Dec 07, 2012
Rolling Stone asked a panel of experts (Busta Rhymes, Questlove, Rick Rubin, etc.) to vote on the best hip-songs ever produced. Here's the list of their top 50 picks. Dre and Snoop's Nuthin' But a "G" Thang comes in at #6.
Climbing to Number Two on the singles chart in early 1993, "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang" made Dr. Dre the undisputed flag bearer of West Coast rap, while also ushering that genre into the pop mainstream. The song's secret weapon was a relatively unknown pup named Snoop Doggy Dogg, whose verses are packed with effortless quotables. The song also introduced Dre's masterful "G-Funk" style of production, which updated George Clinton's legacy with slow, rubbery funk and layered synth hooks. "We made records during the crack era, where everything was hyped up, sped up and zoned out," Chuck D explained. "Dre came with ' "G" Thang' and slowed the whole genre down. He took hip-hop from the crack era to the weed era."

New 2019 BMW 1 Series: latest spyshots and full range breakdown
New Mercedes A-Class and Audi A3 rival moves to front-wheel drive for the first time, while 2 Series range is shaping up
"1 Series customers are more concerned with interior versatility than outright driving dynamics"
Outgoing 1 Series will be the last to feature rear-wheel drive
Prototypes reveal a shorter bonnet and a longer wheelbase
by Greg Kable
Follow @@autocar
BMW is radically re-engineering its 1 Series range as the hatchback moves into its third generation later this year, and fresh spyshots detail it with little disguise.
The new images reveal the front-end design, most notably the trademark kidney grille, will adopt a very similar shape to the recently-launched 3 Series saloon.
Forecast to make its public premiere at the Frankfurt motor show this year before going on sale soon after, a comprehensive under-the-skin revamp will see the Mk3 1 Series forgo traditional rear-wheel drive for a space-saving front-wheel-drive layout, adopting the German car maker's new FAAR platform.
The versatile high-strength steel structure is already used by the latest BMW X1 and its mechanically identical sibling, the second-generation Mini Countryman.
The switch to front-wheel drive for the entry-level BMW comes 15 years after the original rear-wheel-drive 1 Series was launched in 2004.

BMW's internal studies have revealed that existing 1 Series customers are more concerned with factors such as interior versatility and accommodation than outright driving dynamics, which is behind the decision to follow the example of key premium-brand rivals such as the Audi A3 and Mercedes A-Class.
However, other factors are in play, too. Industry analysts suggest the new layout, which sites the engine of the new 1 Series transversely rather than longitudinally, is set to save BMW up to €660 per car in comparison to the rear-wheel-drive underpinnings of today's model. That's thanks to a simpler rear axle assembly and lack of a rear propshaft.
At the same time, it will draw on greater economies of scale through the sharing of components across a greater number of models, including the complete Mini line-up.
With global 1 Series sales totalling 201,968 in 2017, this points to potential savings of more than €1.3 billion per year – money that high-ranking Munich sources have told Autocar is earmarked for the development of further electric models and autonomous driving technology.
As fundamental as the switch to front-wheel drive is, though, it is not the first time BMW has committed a 1 Series model to such a set-up. The front-wheel-drive 1 Series saloon has been sold only in China since 2016.
The FAAR platform is a further-developed version of the UKL underpinnings shared across all Minis and BMW's 2 Series MPVs. In addition to supporting petrol and diesel engines and a new petrol-electric plug-in hybrid drivetrain, it has also been engineered to accommodate electric drive. It could, therefore, follow the latest X3 and upcoming 4 Series in siring a pure electric model, possibly as an indirect replacement for today's i3.
Still, BMW is not abandoning 1 Series enthusiasts. A sporting M130iX model will crown the new line-up, bringing with it a 302bhp version of BMW's turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, standard four-wheel drive and a unique suspension set-up.
Sources at the firm claim that this will be the most powerful 1 Series offered at launch, despite it being 33bhp less powerful than the current car's range-topper, the M140i. That nomenclature is reserved for six-cylinder models so, instead, the higher-performance focus will be on the rear-driven 2 Series.
BMW dealer sources have revealed to Autocar that the new 1 Series will be sold with the choice of up to five petrol and three diesel engines as well as a new petrol-electric plug-in hybrid drivetrain. Four-wheel drive can also be ordered on more powerful engine variants.
The petrol units start with an updated version of BMW's compact 1.5-litre three-cylinder developing 138bhp and 162lb ft in the 118i. Above it is a quartet of four-cylinder models, each running a 2.0-litre engine in differing states of tune. It delivers 187bhp/206lb ft in the 120i, 221bhp/228lb ft in the 125i and 261bhp/280lb ft in the 130i.
The diesels are all expected to run a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 148bhp in the 118d, 187bhp in the 120d and 228bhp and 368lb ft in the M135dX.
The new 1 Series will also line up with rivals by only being sold in five-door form. The changes to the new 1 Series are clearly apparent in its altered proportions, which are now more in keeping with its key hatchback rivals than at any time since its introduction.
Prototype images reveal the adoption of a transverse engine layout and front-wheel drive has enabled designers to provide it with a much shorter bonnet, with the A-pillars and front bulkhead repositioned further forward. In combination with a longer wheelbase and increased track widths, this change in packaging is claimed to provide the new hatch with a longer interior, larger door apertures and greater accommodation.
The switch to the front-wheel-drive FAAR platform and a decision to do away with the three-door hatchback are expected to allow BMW to pitch the new model at prices little changed from those of the outgoing rear-drive model, with the base 118i likely to cost close to £23,000 in the UK.
Other BMW models due to adopt the new FAAR platform include the second-generation 2 Series Active Tourer and a new 2 Series Gran Coupe – conceived to rival the second-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA with a coupé-like profile and four frameless doors.
Rumours out of Munich suggest the existing 2 Series Gran Tourer will not be replaced, though this has yet to be officially confirmed.
In a bid to satisfy the enthusiast crowd, BMW plans to retain rear-wheel drive for the 2 Series coupé and cabriolet, which are set to use a short-wheelbase version of the CLAR platform developed for the fourth-generation Z4.
Although not planned to be made available until 2020, details of BMW's new petrol-electric plug-in hybrid drivetrain have been leaked following a recent presentation to dealers. Set to be offered in a new 125xe-badged model, it comes with a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with 138bhp and 162lb ft and an 87bhp electric motor. The combined output is a claimed 225bhp, while an 11.6kWh battery is said to provide an electric range of up to 50 miles.

BMW 1 Series review
No way there aren't 116i/116d versions. Merc has them ( A160 with 110hp, A180d with 115hp ), Audi has them ( A3 30TFSI/TDi, 115 hp ), even BMW manages to put a 16d in the X1.
In this sort of car the badge is much more important than any actual driving enjoyment.
Sundym
135d with a four cylinder engine?
Surely it's going be labelled 125d? Bizarre , it still looks awful , like every model since 2004 , even though it doesn't now need to due to switch to fwd.
Nickktod
Do they still have editors at Autocar?
Indeed, and also guessing the quick version will be badged an M135i rather than M130i given that the same engine in the X2 is badged M35i.
LP in Brighton
Space saving layout?
I like the way that the long awaited switch to front wheel drive is presented as a "new space saving layout", almost as if BMW is embarassed by the fact, or fearful perhaps that it will upset existing customers. For me, it's a benefit in almost every way except perhaps that the more powerful variants will be 4WD, which probably means more cost, weight, complexity. But mainstream models will be lighter, roomier and much better balanced in appearance.

The new 1 series can't come
The new 1 series can't come quickly enough for BMW, the car struggled to compete with the previous A3 and A Class let alone the newer models. The 1 series we ran attracted us with the drive but day to day it just wasn't as good as the GLA my wife switched to. She even noticed the GLA didn't come close dynamically but ''it was better in every other area's. Which backstop up the original point - if BMW wants to increase market share they are doing the right thing not sticking rigidly to a RWD platform that has no place in in cars smaller than a 3 series.
Peter Cavellini
Good idea..?
Yeah, yes it is, it's a financial decision as much as anything, they're looking forward to more EV demand, they will sate the appetite of performance drivers with 4WD,and as far as popularity goes, there are plenty on the Roads, I see at least five or six every day.

Why no 3 cylinder diesel ?
Why no 3 cylinder diesel ? Seems weird not to use it in this car.

4WD is an option, so a large transmisssion tunnel for the fifth passenger to deal with then.

BMW, focus on getting your
BMW, focus on getting your original cars sold, brexit is going to cause problems in the car market, your putting on modifications that are only degrading former traditions. things like frameless doors are just out of fashion.

Media release: Sean McDonald's podcast, BLETHERED, set to relaunch, on podcasting network, The Big Light
SEAN McDonald's hugely popular podcast, BLETHERED, is set to relaunch on The Big Light, the Scottish podcasting network, on Wednesday, 6 May.
Since launching independently in January 2019, BLETHERED has been listened to over 300,000 times in 91 countries around the world, garnering five-star reviews, and it recently featured in the Radio Times as one of the '23 podcasts you need to listen to right now'.
With 60 shows under his belt already, Blethered features an eclectic mix of guests – from MP Mhairi Black, to broadcaster Jim White, writer Darren McGarvie, Italian women's football legend Rose Reilly and the rapper, Aitch – and no topic is off limits.
From challenging life stories to social commentary, mental health issues, modern culture and more, Sean never shies away from asking hard questions and his relaxed and open style brings out the very best in his interviewees.
Sean McDonald said: "I think people listen to Blethered because it's authentic and it's honest. It's not a refined product. It's not scripted. It's not trying to be anything. It's just a very genuine and honest conversation.
"I'm delighted to be joining The Big Light network. It's a great opportunity for me to take things to the next level, but it's great to be a part of something bigger. The Big Light to me is a Scottish voice. There's so much out there to choose from, so to be part of a platform for Scottish voices is really exciting for me."
Exec producer, Janice Forsyth, said: "Sean is a big talent – a natural interviewer who gets to the heart of difficult, emotional issues with lots of laughs along the way."
Exec producer, Fiona White, said: "Our mission at The Big Light is not only to create original quality podcasts but also, to curate the best independently-produced work that Scotland has to offer and we're overjoyed that Sean McDonald's Blethered is the first of these."
Listener reviews, Apple: "It has been a tough old year so far and this podcast has really helped me to keep going. His latest truly made me chuckle at a time when I didn't think I could!" – Jules, Edinburgh March 2020
"A really down-to-earth podcast allowing real people to tell their stories. Although some of the talk is on some really important issues, there is a great balance between this and light heartedness. A great listen." – Daniel, May 2019
"Top-class podcast… Interesting, funny and deep when it needs to be." – Steve, May 2019
Notes for editors:
Blethered x The Big Light launches tomorrow, 6 May, produced by Sean McDonald and exec-produced by Fiona White for The Big Light, it's available on Apple, Spotify, Acast and other major podcast platforms. Sean's first guest on this rebooted format is broadcaster, author and former Channel 4 executive, Stuart Cosgrove.
Based in Barcelona for six years prior to 2019, Blethered is described as a Glasgow/Barcelona podcast and Sean regularly records episodes in Spanish, which he speaks fluently.
On The Big Light podcast network:

There are several things you should know about cell phones. From using them properly to buying the best, you need to know what your options are. The paragraphs that follow are full of information you can use to make educated decisions in all cell phone matters, so keep reading.
If you surf online on your phone, then do an occasional reboot to clear out memory eaten up by apps like social media. When this is done every couple of days, your phone will work at its peak performance level more consistently.
If you accidentally drop your phone in liquid, don't assume that it's broken. Remove the battery and put the phone inside a bowl filled with rice. This can reduce the amount of moisture that's in your phone.
Try not to watch too much video on your cell phone. You likely have a certain amount of data that you can use in a given month. You can burn your allowance fast through video use alone, so your bill might rocket right up. If you see yourself going over, you might want to look for a new plan.
Rushing out to buy a cell phone every time a new model comes out is a mistake. It's not always worth it. Companies change their phones often, but sometimes the updates are minor. Wait a couple of weeks and check out what other people think about their purchase before you make a choice to purchase one. Quite often, you really do not.
You can call information without paying the fees generally associated with it. You can call 1-800-411-FREE instead. After you listen to a short advertisement, you will get all the information you requested.
As your SmartPhone ages, it will slow down. Downloaded updates can help the phones stay new longer. But, new phones have access to more powerful updates than old ones. Therefore, it is essential for you to eventually upgrade.
Stay very wary of extended warranty offers. They are costly and often don't offer you that much in return. If you have a phone that's going to break, it usually happens within a year which the basic warranty generally covers. Also, because so many people upgrade their phones so often, extended warranties are generally worthless.
You will get the most from your cell phone the more knowledge you have about it and it's features. Take some time to teach yourself about these things and you'll have a good time. Use this article as a starting point as you learn more about cell phones.

Gospel text (Mk 3,13-19): Jesus went up into the hill country and called those He wanted and they came to him. So He appointed twelve to be with him; and he called them apostles. He wanted to send them out to preach. Jesus went up into the hill country and called those He wanted and they came to him. So He appointed twelve to be with him; and he called them apostles. He wanted to send them out to preach, and He gave them authority to drive out demons. These are the Twelve: Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter; James, son of Zebedee, and John his brother, to whom he gave the name Boanerges, which means "men of thunder"; Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alpheus, Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.
Today is a great day: Jesus chooses his first twelve Apostles. We witness the birth of the Church today. These Apostles will live with Jesus and will be sent away to preach the Good News. They follow Jesus so that they can bring all men and women to Him: Jesus chooses all men and all women without exception.
— You too, are a "full member" of the Church. You too, can help this Church reach all men and women.

Everything was excellent, staff were awesome,location outstanding. Will be staying again.
That they moved us for last night.
The bed was comfy. The ocean view was awesome. Location is very good.
Plates etc left outside elevators for to long making the hallways smell .
Slightly disappointed with old furniture - specifically lounges which were worn and stained.
Location, facilities and staff were fantastic!
The elevators sometimes we would get close to our floor then it would take us back down to the bottom , also no air con in there either with multiple people made it stuffy and hot.
Found cockroach out side toilet. Sheet on the second bed room is shorter than the bed.
Great location and concierge service.
What's not to like We are definitely coming back to stay hopefully get the same room.
The view, privacy with my partner, felt very welcome by staff, staff will go out of there way to help, and OMG our room it's was the best. We both felt very spoilt by the staff and we can not thank you enough for the best service we got.
The location was absolutely spot on for what we wanted from our weekend away. We didn't want to bother with hiring a car, and we certainly didn't need to. We just walked out the front of the hotel and absolutely everything we needed was right in front of us. Bars, restaurants, shopping all within easy access.


Keith Olbermann and Dana Milbank are not over the moon. Keith led off his interview of Milbank by suggesting this was "wag the dog" — in other words, that President Bush pushed up the announcment to divert attention from Rove. Milbank agreed that, of course, that's what is going on.
Putting the "reality-based community" aside for a moment, it's worth looking again at this Washington Post profile of Roberts by Charles Lane and Jerry Markon that we posted yesterday.
Another great choice would be John Roberts of the District of Columbia Circuit. Roberts is also quite bright and strongly conservative. He lacks the long judicial track record, but that is a plus in one sense — it may make it more difficult to claim "extraordinary circumstance" in a way that passes the straight-face test for Graham, DeWine, etc. (trust me, though; Roberts is not at all Souter-like). In addition, the Senate recently confirmed Roberts. This (a) makes it difficult credibly to claim extraordinary circumstances and (b) suggests his strength as a nominee, since he got through prior to "the deal" when the sledding was tough. Indeed, given Roberts' middle age movie star looks and considerable charm, he's not a good prospect for a "Borking," though the Democrats nonetheless will give it a shot.


Clone Wars in 4K, real-life graphics cinematic. Battlefront 2 Multiplayer. Wanna see what that looks like? Now you can. This 13-minute video from MassiveG is like watching a Star Wars short, or fan film. You're going to see all the Clone Wars action you know and love in full display. It's absolutely beautiful and the details are highlighted in this high-quality video. If you're playing Battlefront 2, or still thinking about playing it, this video alone might be enough to encourage you to do Clone Wars.
The players asked and on this front, EA listened. Some of you may remember the lengthen Reddit thread asking EA for Clone Wars in Battlefront II. You asked and EA granted. Star Wars The Clone Wars adds a plethora of new planets to the universe. We already know the game is a multi-era mashup, so it's great to see that The Clone Wars was added, and that it looks awesome. While we know the loot crate controversy dampened the excitement of the launch of the game, there might still be some redeeming factors for many players. If you were one who stuck it through and didn't request a refund, how are you enjoying the game?
Want to check out that Clone Wars cinematic?
As the video shows, it's really a beautiful game. Are you enjoying Battlefront II and have you played through the Clone Wars?


While located in the middle of the Pacific far from the world's large population centers, Samoa's oceans are not immune to the impacts of global issues such as sea level rise, ocean acidification, habitat destruction, and overfishing. With a strong connection to the ocean deeply ingrained in the way of life in Samoa, sustainable ocean management remains a necessity to preserve culture and livelihoods.
At the monumental UN Ocean Conference in June 2017, Samoa took a strong stance on ocean conservation by pledging twelve voluntary commitments to the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14: Life below water. To make these commitments a reality, the Samoan government announced the Ocean Health Index (OHI) as the tool to inform their ocean policy to meet their commitments.
Last week, we hosted a workshop to further enhance sustainable ocean management in Samoa. Built on two years of consultation and stakeholder engagement, this workshop explored OHI for Samoa. For the first time, the focus was from a data perspective to identify opportunities to localize the assessment.
The week began with a seminar for the Samoan Ocean Health Network describing progress of OHI globally and locally. The seminar was attended by lead ministers and government heads, showing strong support for this effort and setting the tone for the successful workshop that followed.
Led by Dr. Julie Lowndes, our OHI science program lead, the workshop focused on the opportunities – both conceptually and technically – to make OHI more representative of Samoa. The two main questions guiding the workshop were: (1) is each OHI goal identified for global assessments important for healthy oceans in Samoa and (2) is the data included in global assessments for Samoa the best available locally?
This workshop was structured in the way we approach all OHI assessments: first thinking conceptually about the goals and their relevance to a region, next exploring possible data sources within OHI's deliberately structured framework, and finally working hands-on with the OHI Toolbox.
Once it was determined all of the goals were indeed relevant to Samoa, it was time to explore the seven years of data used to calculate Samoa's global OHI score. Diving into the data can often provide a far more revealing portrait than the single OHI score because it provides more background into why a goal has a certain score.
Through data exploration, workshop participants were able to identify two areas where local data would be more representative of Samoa: mangrove presence and marine protected area coverage. While there were more in-depth discussions about tailoring the assessment, these could be the first priorities for any further work improving Samoa's representation within OHI.
"Integrating the perspectives of local data officers and our own experts into the discussion on OHI is extremely important and testament to collaborative nature of OHI," said Lagipoiva Cherelle Jackson, OHI Lead for Samoa.
In addition to the data-centric workshop, Dr. Lowndes had the honor of giving a seminar for the Faculties of Science at the National University of Samoa about the importance of open data science. In a talk titled "The power of open science: Experience from the Ocean Health Index," Dr. Lowndes shared examples of how the adoption of open data science tools enabled reusable and reproducible OHI scores year after year.
This presentation sparked further conversations about forming coding clubs at the University and specifically starting a Samoa RLadies chapter, which is a global effort to increase gender diversity in the data science community.
This was the first of our Country Opportunities workshops, which are designed to introduce countries to the possibilities that exist directly from global assessments and what steps to take to make OHI more representative of their country.
As a highly influential country amongst the South Pacific island nations, Samoa can pave the way for more engagement with other Pacific countries, leading to greater sustainability of our ocean resources.

"The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant.
This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change."

The Caller of the Year Award:
I Mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a couple of nice cold beers.
The day was really quite beautiful, and the brew facilitated some deep thinking on various topics.
Finally I pondered about an age old question:
Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the Nuts?
Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts.
Well, after another beer, and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question.
Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby; and here is the reason for my conclusion
A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another baby". On the other hand, you'll never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I'd like another kick in the nuts".
Case closed!

Las Vegas Monks
Las Vegas has many churches, and people frequently drop casino chips into the collection plates.
The various churches cannot easily turn them into dollars, so a service was started by a group of Franciscan monks to pick up the chips weekly and go around to the various casinos and redeem the chips for dollars. They support themselves this way and provide a valuable service.
They are called chipmonks.
Wife vs Girlfriend
Wife is like a TV
Girlfriend is like a mobile
At home you watch TV
but when you go out you take your mobile
No money, you keep your old TV
got money, you change your mobile
Sometimes you enjoy TV
but most of the time you play with your mobile
TV is free for life
but for the mobile, if you dont pay, services will be terminated
TV is big and bulky
mobile is cute, slim, curvy and very portable
Operational costs for TV is minimal
but for the mobile it is often high and demanding
Most importantly, mobile is a two-way communication ( you talk and listen )
but with the TV you must only listen ( whether you like it or not )
but always remember.....
TV's dont have viruses
mobiles often do...

Q: How to disable ScrollView scrolling? Trying to resolve this issue : How to disable pullToRefreshScrollView from listening to touch I am wondering it there is a solution, to block ScrollView from handling onTouchEvents without creating customizable class for it ?
Why all the methos like
gridView.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);

mScrollView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
           @Override
           public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
              return false;
           }
        });

doesn't work ? what's the problem with them ? why Google implements methods which doesn't work ?

A: Create a custom ScrollView and use  it wherever you wants.
class CustomScrollView extends ScrollView {

    // true if we can scroll the ScrollView
    // false if we cannot scroll
    private boolean scrollable = true;

    public void setScrollingEnabled(boolean scrollable) {
        this.scrollable = scrollable;
    }

    public boolean isScrollable() {
        return scrollable;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        switch (ev.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                // if we can scroll pass the event to the superclass
                if (scrollable) return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
                // only continue to handle the touch event if scrolling enabled
                return scrollable; // scrollable is always false at this point
            default:
                return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        // Don't do anything with intercepted touch events if
        // we are not scrollable
        if (!scrollable) return false;
        else return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
    }

}

This can be use in layout
<com.packagename.CustomScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollView"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent">

</com.packagename.CustomScrollView >

Then invoke
((CustomScrollView )findViewById(R.id.scrollView)).setIsScrollable(false);

A: Try and see:
        scrollView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return isBlockedScrollView;
        }
    });

A: if you are wanting to disable the SecrollView because it rises by itself when scrolling horizontally in a scroll view that is inside it, make sure there is no EdtiText with focus , because the ScrollView will scroll wherever it has focus.


Crystal Davis isn't the type of hero who often grabs headlines. But by living and working in suburban Mooresville where she was raised, she's exactly the hero her community needs – one who works tirelessly to ensure none of its youngest generation is forgotten.
A STEM teacher for the local public school district, Davis was recently recognized by her peers at Paul Hadley Middle School as its teacher of the year. Aside from her academic efforts, she was noted for bringing numerous community service opportunities to the building – from packing health and hygiene kits for students in need to participating in classroom poverty simulations.
Davis tries to go above and beyond for those struggling students. After each quarter, teachers at Paul Hadley receive a list of students failing multiple courses, and Davis meets weekly with each one enrolled in her class to help put them back on track. "I'm not sure all of them know they're capable. I don't know that anyone's told them they're capable," she mentioned.
It's the struggling kids that need support systems like Davis in their life. "For kids that are just your average kid or a struggling kid, I don't know that I always see opportunities spearheaded by teachers or other communities. You need to engage the kids [who] kind of hate school," she said.


Few business endeavors are as murky to figure out as marketing. The long game aspects of brand building make it hard to quantify whether you're getting acceptable bang for years' worth of bucks. And nothing in business is as shrouded in mystery as SEO. As a result, you wind up paying for something you don't understand, and you know how that usually goes.
What's needed is a common-sense approach to marketing.
Coaching for Profit gives you the tools you need to apply statistically valid criteria when evaluating marketing efforts before sending them out into the world.
Armed with our methodologies, you'll be in a position to determine if your e-blast, webpage, or even your next Tweet, will be measurably more effective.
How credible does your company—and your message—appear?
Does the piece make clear what's in it for your customer?
Does it express what makes you different from the next guy—and the last guy?
Does it target a specific potential user of your product or service?
Does the piece create a picture in the reader's mind?
Does it contain the kinds of testimonials or other "proof" that really make a difference?
Does the piece make the reader understand the value of doing business with you?
Does it make your offering seem truly revolutionary?
Knowing how to assess these attributes is absolutely critical in the creation and execution of brand building and marketing strategies that have a statistical likelihood of succeeding.
But Coaching for Profit does more. We deliver a revolutionary method of scoring each piece on a 1-100 scale, so you can avoid wasting time on marketing that falls flat, and focus your energies—and your dollars—where they do the most good.
Marketing doesn't have to be puzzling, strange, odd, weird, mystifying, inexplicable, baffling, perplexing, incomprehensible, unexplainable, or unfathomable.
Call us, and we'll show you how to make sense of it all. Really.

Relay Robotics Secures $10 Million Financing
RobotsNews
By AIT News Desk On May 2, 2022
Relay Robotics, Inc. — a new corporation formed by the acquisition of leading robotics developer Savioke — announced the completion of a $10,000,000 Series A Financing and the appointment of veteran technology executive, Michael O'Donnell, as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Savioke Co-Founder, Steve Cousins, will become Chief Technology Officer of Relay Robotics and lead the company's product strategy and innovation efforts.
Latest Aithority Insights: Proptech Innovator Offerd Unveils Major Upgrades to Market-Leading Multifamily Acquisitions Platform
"We continue to expand the capabilities of Relay robots, enabling them to be quickly deployed to help people in service industries."
Relay delivery robots are currently deployed at major hotels in the United States such as Marriott, Hilton, Westin, Mandarin Oriental, Holiday Inn, and Radisson, nationally recognized hospitals such as Georgetown and Dartmouth, and commercial real estate properties. Relay's Rapid-Install™ trains and activates a robot within hours of arrival at a location. Customers can name their robot and create a customized "wrap" to give it a unique character and harmonize it with their brand.
"Our ownership's crystal ball saw, before most hotel operators, what service robot technology could add from a marketing and operations perspective," says Bob Combie, Senior Vice President of Technology at Seaview Investors, a leading hotel operator. "The Relay robots are integrated into our daily guest experience, and we use them at all eight of our hotels."
The Relay product line consists of:
Relay – The original service robot, globally installed in hotels, hospitals, and commercial real estate.
Relay+ – The newest autonomous robot with flexible configurations including a larger capacity top bin, a 4-drawer model, and independent elevator operations.
With COVID-19 retreating, the markets Relay Robotics serves (hospitality, healthcare, and real estate), are poised for a robust recovery. The global hospitality market is expected to grow from $3.9 trillion in 2021 to $4.5 trillion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1% and is expected to reach $6.7 trillion in 2026 at a CAGR of 10.2%1.
"I'm excited to join Steve and the incredibly talented team at Relay Robotics to address this huge market opportunity for autonomous robots that help businesses serve their customers, patients, and employees," said Michael O'Donnell. "The market is quickly embracing these AI & autonomous technologies to address the worldwide labor shortage and meet their clients' needs. Relay Robotics has the intellectual property, a product line of working robots making deliveries across hospitality, healthcare and offices, and a pipeline of marquee customers."

"There is a multibillion-dollar market for service robots and Relay Robotics has the team, technology and real-world experience in applying service robots to solve business problems," noted Mark Koulogeorge, Managing Partner at MK Capital which led the Series A Financing. "Michael will lead Relay on an aggressive growth path as we partner with customers to develop more innovative uses of service robots to enhance the customer experience and improve operating efficiency."
"Our collective experience and expertise in AI, autonomous vehicles, and building the Relay software technology platform is paying huge dividends in driving use cases and the reliability of our robots," said Steve Cousins, Chief Technology Officer. "We continue to expand the capabilities of Relay robots, enabling them to be quickly deployed to help people in service industries."
O'Donnell, a 25-year veteran of the consumer technology industry, brings a track record of growth and success at early-stage technology companies. Prior to Relay Robotics, he was CEO of HealthiNation, a digital healthcare media company that he and his team grew over 280% and was acquired by GoodRx (NASDAQ: GDRX) in April 2021. Before HealthiNation, O'Donnell was CEO of four successful VC-backed technology companies, including Playcast, an Israel-based videogame streaming company acquired by GameFly, Inc. in 2015; Skytide, a video analytics company acquired by Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS) in 2013; Five Across, a social media platform company acquired by Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) in 2007; and Salon Media Group (NASDAQ IPO, 2001).

In the context of the off-site Partitions (performances) programme conceived by Christian Alandete, the Fondation d'entreprise Ricard is presenting its first collaboration with the Drawing Now Art Fair. For the occasion, two performance projects revolving around drawing will provide an opportunity to broaden the field of narrative and improvisation through two invitations to travel. With Le départ, Chourouk Hriech offers a sensory experiment in which the lines of drawings are improvised based on the movements of a dancer and the singing exercises of an opera singer, and with Ulysses, a long way, Jean-Christophe Norman presents a new phase in the rewriting of James Joyce's eponymous book, created in chalk on the streets of Paris.
Jean-Christophe Norman is a performer and visual artist. Since 2004, he has been developing a series of systematic explorations of major urban centres throughout the world, using the principles of analogy, superimposition, and evocation of geographical spaces, by precisely reproducing the contours of one city in another through walking. Deeply influenced by Borges, Jean-Christophe Norman's work takes the form of performances, walks, writings, photographs and drawings, to examine the notions of time, territory and copying. He explores writing in different parts of the world by rewriting extracts or whole renowned novels in chalk directly on the ground. For his work Ulysses, a long way, the various chapters of Ulysses were written out in numerous cities: Marseille, Phnom Penh, Tokyo, Gdansk and Paris.
Jean-Christophe Norman was born in 1964. He lives and works in Marseille.
His work has been shown at the Van Abbemuseum, Frac Franche-Comté, Frac Paca, Centre Dürrenmatt Neuchâtel, Fondation Jan Michalski, far° festival in Nyons, Biennale de Belleville, Musée des arts décoratifs Paris, Musée National Picasso, Musée National Picasso, the Wyspa Foundation, Alternativa Gdansk, Biennale de Québec, Mac/Val, as well as in the cities of Palermo and Phnom Penh.
