Supercars News
Friday critical for Townsville Supercars event
Andrew van Leeuwen
Friday is looming as a deadline of sorts for Supercars to make a call on its upcoming Townsville round to ensure the Melbourne teams have time to travel north if needed.
A number of the Melbourne teams have indicated to Motorsport.com that a clear direction on the Townsville 500 is required by the end of this week.
If the event is going ahead, transporters could then leave over the weekend for the four-day trip from Melbourne to far north Queensland.
Kelly Grove Racing, Team 18, Erebus Motorsport, Tickford Racing, Walkinshaw Andretti United and the Blanchard Racing Team are all based in Melbourne. BRT, however, already has its transporter in Townsville, having opted to not return to base after Darwin.
Townsville went into a snap three-day lockdown yesterday evening along with south east Queensland, after a positive COVID-19 case travelled from Brisbane to popular northern holiday spot Magnetic Island.
That's cast significant doubt over the July 9-11 Townsville 500, particularly as Victoria has since added Townsville to its red zone list.
Should it stay on the red zone list until July 11 the six Melbourne-based teams would be forced into a two-week quarantine upon returning home.
There was some promising news out of Queensland this morning, however, with all three new community cases having been in isolation throughout their infectious period.
That's given hope to the lockdown ending on Friday as scheduled, which would then leave the Townsville 500 in the hands of the Victorian state government and its border rules.
Meanwhile there is speculation that one option to ensure Townsville will go ahead is to turn the event into a double-header.
That would create more time for the Victorian border to open, or at the very least make quarantine a more viable outcome given it would help facilitate two events.
It's not unprecedented, the Reid Park circuit having hosted a pair of back-to-back rounds as part of the truncated 2020 campaign.
The Supercars Commission is set to meet later today.

Interview: Ethan Miller (Howlin Rain)
by Chip Midnight
Photo by Raeni Miller
Listening to anything by Howlin Rain is like stepping into a time machine that lands in the mid-70s, where pants were flared, hair flowed and moustaches were a given. Though the band's new release, The Dharma Wheel, is just six songs long, the groovy, psychedelic jams take the listener on a 52-minute cosmic journey through dense songs that bear repeated listens to pick up on the different nuances.
Founding member Ethan Miller (vocals/guitar) is a great conversationalist and is happy to talk about growing up, as many people his age did, listening to '80s glam rock before discovering Nirvana and heading to some far out places in the alternative and indie rock universe. After releasing albums on different labels, he's also taken on the role of label owner for the release of The Dharma Wheel and, as he tells me, he now has to approach an album release wearing two different hats and making the most rational decisions for the label even if it means pulling back some of the creativity as an artist.
While we talked for over an hour, here's an abbreviated version of that conversation.
What can you tell me about the 12-to-16-year-old Ethan Miller?
ETHAN: 12-years-old, I was living in Humboldt County, where I'm living again right now. I grew up in Eureka, here in the Lost Coast. Pre-internet, just getting some music from FM radio, a little bit from MTV, friends on the school yard. I think we had just gotten a mall, so there was a store you could go get new cassettes at on demand, new releases and stuff. Probably a lot of glam rock like Poison. I might have been getting a little old for that but I know in 5th and 6th grade, Poison and early Guns N' Roses was definitely where things were at. By 16, I was living in England, in Nottingham, for a year and, even before that, for a kid my age in 1990, 1991, musically the world opened up a little bit. The gap was bridged between mainstream and punk rock with Nirvana and all the SubPop stuff and that whole explosion.
By 16, the world had cracked open. I was out and about, I was going to big festivals in England. So coming from a small town where you'd see local club shows – they'd put on shows at the armory – and then going to England where you go to the Glastonbury Festival. A couple of weeks after I arrived, I went to my first big concert which was Nirvana headlining the 1991 Reading Festival. I was like, "Okay. Mind blown."
When I got back to Eureka, after Nottingham, in that 17 and 18-year-old zone, that's when I got into bands. I was with the older crowd then and since I was an only child, that's where the trickle down effect happens. When you're in a band with 24-year-olds and they've lived in bigger cities, they've got huge music collections. All of a sudden you're just completely opened up to the entire DNA of music.
I'm a little older than you but that glam rock was where my musical journey began. And, to this day, I still love it. In fact, I just saw Guns N' Roses last night and I saw Faster Pussycat earlier this summer.
ETHAN: You're still a believer! You may have been old enough to appreciate it when those bands were coming out. Maybe you were like, "I love this, it's party music. I get it, this isn't the most sophisticated music in the world." For me, when you're in 5th grade and listening to that stuff, it's just like, "Wow!" Later, you listen back and there's a few of those bands that could write and play and sing and then a lot of the stuff you listen to and you're like, "There's not much here in hindsight but attitude." It should be attitude plus something but, for many of those bands, it was just attitude and zeitgeist. In L.A., I still meet people who are like, "That's still my thing, man." A lot of those bands are still out there in one form or another, not just Guns N' Roses. You can even dig deep on some of these glam rock bands and you look on the Wiki and you're like, "There they are." I don't know if it's reunions or what's going on but they are out there playing clubs.
Let's talk about The Dharma Wheel. Did you go into this knowing it was going to be 6 songs or were you writing and recording over the last couple of years and all of a sudden found yourself with enough songs to fill a record?
ETHAN: It was even bigger. At the time we were working on it, we had been rehearsing all this material – we had actually tracked it all – we had tracked over 2 hours worth of music for what would have been this huge triple album. Since I'm the record label, the band and myself are paying for this stuff. We'd been steady touring and so I was taking a little bit of money out of each tour and was funneling it right into the recording. There was a nice business flow of things to keep recording. Obviously, getting into a triple album level, you spend a lot of money on an indie record at that point.
And then Covid hit and that touring income ended. We were already strained and we couldn't get into recording studios, especially when it's like, "California's locked down. Don't leave your house." It's not like you're going to say, "I'm going to sneak out to the recording studio to finish this record." And, I couldn't fly the guys up so we could get together and hash it all out. I was like, "Let me check this out. How much of the record is done? What are the songs that are done? What do they sound like if I throw them into a playlist and then listen to all the songs together? Does it make a record?"
As the record label, I have to use my label mind. As the artist, now I'm doing this stuff to myself that I used to do to other record labels where I was like, "I'm the artist. I want the tip-on record cover and the 180 gram vinyl. Oh, can we have metallic ink on there?" The labels are like, "Jesus, guy, we're trying to sell 2,500 copies of this thing and you've got the cost going up." To be fair, no label has ever kicked back like that but now that I'm doing this to myself, I'm like, "Listen asshole, there's no fucking need for this. You don't need this vanity crap on here. Let's get this record out and make a little money on it and not just break even."
When I'm in the artistic frame of mind, I'm like, "Triple album. This is going to have to be 4 pieces of vinyl and it's going to cost $70 retail." Then the label side of me says, "Ridiculous. This is a stupid idea." When I broke it down to a single record, the label side of me said, "Good job. This was the right thing to do all along."
If you've got enough material for a triple album, if The Dharma Wheel sells well, would you consider putting out more of the music that you've tracked and recorded?
ETHAN: Yeah, that's one of the deals I made with myself. The Dharma Wheel starts with the prelude and then you go into the world through that introduction and then you're down in there and you're traveling through it. And "The Dharma Wheel" itself, even though it's a big tune and kind of a big album closer, it was meant to be the halfway point. There's these ideas in that song about consciousness, moving from life into death, going from one dimension to another. That was supposed to be, thematically, a halfway point and then we had this, to end the album, 19-minute "Suite of the Underworld." So it started with a prelude and ended with a suite that went through these different movements and ended with this huge, crazy, prog-fusion kind of thing. All of that is fine and dandy but when I listened to the songs that wound up on The Dharma Wheel on their own, I was like, "It still works. You don't need all those other songs."
In the end, if we release a second volume, they can be sister albums. I can even repackage them and give them a sleeve. You can kind of feel a little bit of something on this record, something a little different and odd in the sequencing and the way the record carries itself that suggest that it's not an enclosed thing, that there is more.
With the songs on the album, it's supposed to be that you can go and listen to this music over and over and keep hearing and discovering different things because it's kind of dense and complex. But, it's also supposed to be hooky and melodic so it's an interesting dynamic that way. You don't just chew all the sugar out of the gum.
The Dharma Wheel by Howlin Rain
The first song on the album, "Prelude," sounds like a spooky James Bond song.
ETHAN: Right. Probably that theme first comes from classical music but it's not that far off from "You Only Live Twice." I think it's John Barry and Nancy Sinatra who did that song. And, also, something similar was used for the Midnight Cowboy theme. It does have a cinematic feel. It's just those three notes that cinema keeps going back to for music. I've always loved that progression.
"Don't Let the Tears" makes me think of Smokey and the Bandit and "Rotoscope" makes me think of the Allman Brothers. I do hear something different every time I listen. It checks a lot of boxes for me.
ETHAN: It's kind of supposed to. One of the things that we were doing was celebrating music. Some records feel like a really personally-driven statement. I mean, all records by bands celebrate the music that the band collectively loves to some degree. Any band will tell you that. I think this one was supposed to be an outward celebration of kind of the joy of music even if there's dark places on the record, heavy places, dissonant places. I don't think we consciously set out to do that but it ended up that way because of who the four of us were, and the way that we would constantly discuss music and listen to it in the van, and reference things. Bands don't usually talk in theory to each other, they talk in records that they love. If they say, "The G Sharp, if you do an augmented step there, this will happen mathematically," in theory that's correct. Very few people do that with real band mates. What they say is "Oh, right there, you do that little thing that sounds like Robert Fripp or sounds like something off the Allman Brothers At the Fillmore East." That kind of thing is already part of the DNA of every record that everybody makes. That's how I sized up the record when it was done. It was like, "This really feels like not just us trying to do those things that we love in other records." That's the difference, it's not like "We attempted to do a song that sounded like Humble Pie," it's more like the celebration of music in essence.
Is Howlin Rain you, Dan Cervantes, Jeff McElroy and Justin Smith?
ETHAN: That's who made this record but Jeff and Dan are gone now. They went to other pastures some time in the long Covid downtime and estrangement. We've got a new band together. We're just about to go out on the road and that's been kind of interesting. In some ways it's been very cool because there's always something about making a record, especially if you have downtime like this, the band having to relearn it, reinterpret it, are they already bored with certain things? Having the whole band being a brand new sounding band, it's not the same as the old one, we didn't just stick in two ringers. Having a new guitarist and a bass player, there's just a whole different energy. I think it created somewhat of an easier and interesting way to learn all these songs with two people's fresh ears within the group.
Is the touring band who we see in the video for "Don't Let the Tears"?
ETHAN: Yeah, that's it, that's the new band.
I love Jason Soda. He's a great guitarist.
ETHAN: He's great. Him and Kyre Wilcox [bass] are fantastic. Coming out of a long haul with Covid, which we're not really out of yet, and then finding out or realizing that you're half a band down, it's not under normal circumstances that you've got to try to put a new band together. Once those guys came on board, it was like, "This is a joy." They are making it easy.
You mentioned touring. Does that mean you have dates booked?
ETHAN: It's a West Coast tour. In the end, it's about 7 dates. People are out there touring at all levels. It's going to be my first tour. I haven't really been going out to shows or anything yet. There's a lot of questions swirling around your head about "Is this the right time? Are we ready? People are doing it. Is that okay?" At what point do we finally say, "Okay, let's give it a try. This might just be life for a while"? It has yet to be seen. We'll see what it's like out there.
If you feel safe and comfortable after this run of dates, do you want to do a coast-to-coast tour or will it be limited little runs?
ETHAN: I think the longest tour of recent memory was we did 22 gigs in 19 days or something like that. We like to cram them in, no days off if we can help it. Usually it made more sense to fly out to the East Coast, run back to the Midwest, instead of 70 dates in a row. It just was the balance that worked.
If there are anchor gigs and the money made sense to get back over here and do this instead of fooling around playing every small town out there for 70 days between anchors, that would be a good reason to do that. We're all vaccinated but the Delta strain obviously blows right through the vaccination and music anyways. In most cases, if you're vaccinated, you're not going to get deathly ill from Delta, it'll pass through.
Touring has always been a vulnerable state. Everybody gets sick on tour. Lots of times you get really sick because you're working the merch table and everybody is coming up drunk after the show and spitting on you while they're talking. That's just part of touring. So, in that case, I'm glad it'll still be like it's always been. Hopefully we'll keep our masks on the whole tour and won't unmask for anybody but us in the van or while we're on stage. It'll be the healthiest tour any of us have ever been on!
I guess, for me, it's a philosophical question about going out on tour and asking people to gather to see us. How safely will they be able to gather? How well behaved will they be? We don't want them to go home from one of our shows and spread the disease to people who are vulnerable. I don't want to engage in the mass destruction of unvaccinated people through Delta spreading even if it doesn't hurt me that much.

As we descended from the 13th century stunning walls that encircle Dubrovnik, the smell of citrus blossoms whispered a soft fragrance as the Adriatic Sea winds danced. As I turned to view the tiny perfumed white buds surrounded by healthy green leaves, a young man in a tailored suit kindly asked us take a look at the restaurant menu.
Normally I shy away from that 'tourist trap'. You know, the mediocre overpriced restaurant that targets its 'one-time' victims. For some reason today was different. Could it be the calming citrus oils that drew us near? Perhaps it was our aching feet from the 1,940 meter (6,360 ft) city wall walk or the fact that I was famished that convinced us to give the restaurant a try.
We were surrounded by a mix of locals, few tourists, the Mayor of Dubrovnik–all extremely good signs we had found a treasure and not a trap.
We ordered a starter, the fish of the day, and as I was about to inquire about a side vegetable, the waiter said our main dish would be served with the local specialty, which he explained in his best English is similar to spinach.
Spinach? An eye-roll and lip curl gradually released its grip from my face. I'm not a spinach hater, but I'm definitely not a spinach lover. With hunger pains roaring I was open to giving anything a try.
As the main dish, a lovely filet of sole and my spinach substitute arrived, I decided to try the colorful complement. I think I detected that the green vegetable and potato mixture was perfumed with olive oil, shallots, and perhaps garlic too. The waiter approached our table and asked if I was enjoying the Swiss chard, a popular Croatian/Mediterranean dish.
Wow, I never could have imagined that the leafy green could possess such a simple yet alluring taste sensation. What a perfect vegetarian option or complement to fresh fish, beef and pork dishes too.
I think I love spinach, I mean I love Swiss chard!
As the vacation progressed and we ventured out for meals, each waiter explained that our main dish would be accompanied with a side of the local specialty–Swiss chard. I smiled and looked forward to the low-fat, low-calorie power veggie which is also an excellent source of Vitamin C and K.
Just like your favorite recipe though, cooks have their own secret Swiss chard blends too. After about a week along the Dalmatian Coast, I tasted quite a few Swiss chard varieties. Some just right, some too bland, watery, over-salted, but each one an experience–because at least I tried them. Whether the taste is fantastic or flawed, the chance for another taste experiences is what I love about travel and food.
If you still hate spinach, love Swiss chard, the Green Pearl of the Adriatic.


I did the same thing. I told myself that kindergarten would be fun. I told myself that my son would enjoy the bus ride, the fun school activities, and the wonderful teacher. I told myself these things because I never considered the options.
As it turned out, my son was bullied on the bus, he hated the kindergarten activities, and the wonderful teacher was powerless to turn things around for him. It was only this sad turn of events that inspired me to consider alternatives.
As the daughter and granddaughter of public school teachers, as well as a former public school teacher myself, perhaps I was more clueless than most. But, as I started researching the options for my son, I was stunned by the possibilities. Parental freedoms are alive and well in America and available to all.
Here's the bottom-line: The right of American parents to educate and raise their children as they see fit is astoundingly broad and absolute. Yes, there are a few restrictions, boundaries, and "guidelines" as set forth in court cases that have framed parent and homeschool freedoms. But, generally speaking, parents have the right to teach their children what they want, when they want, how they want, where they want, etc. The state supreme courts of our land have agreed that parents don't even have to homeschool well, lest states would rush in trying to measure and evaluate children based on the state's values, rather than the values of parents.
"You mean I really don't have to go there (school) anymore?" my son asked me in wonder and disbelief, the stress literally rolling away as the happy realization settled in.
I was relieved and happy, too. I was happy for my son, but even happier for my family. All the sudden, a new world opened up to us. We could frame our family life around our loves, our desires, our values, and our faith. We could establish life-long bonds and create something truly precious apart from the constant intrusions of other peoples' expectations. We could decide and fully manage our time, our schedule, our lifestyle, our friends, and our activities. Our lives became our own again.

Q: Hide button but with white space I have this system where I decided to hide all buttons and later(on the bottom of the page) make them visible again as a jQuery button.
On the beginning:
$('button').hide();

On the end:
$('button').button(...button options yadda yadda...);

And my scripts are loaded on the bottom of the page as recommended.
When the page renders, it renders without buttons, and don't render their empty spaces. But when the jquery comes to action the page flicks and expands the empty spaces where the buttons will be rendered and render them.
How can I make the page render the button spaces even when they are hidden?

A: Use visibility property of button instead of hide() / Show() function, hide() uses display:none, read more over here
To show
$('button').css('visibility', 'visible');

To Hide
$('button').css('visibility', 'hidden');

A: If I understand your question correctly.
The jQuery function hide() sets element to display:none; in CSS. For the document to keep the elements space you need to set the element to
visibility: hidden;

Hydrogen is a versatile, zero-emissions fuel which can be used to decarbonize areas of our economy considered difficult, like electricity production, transportation and industry. This powerful fuel can also be used for renewable-energy storage or blended with RNG and natural gas to fuel homes and businesses.
Home Residential Services Learn About Energy Why Natural Gas? Hydrogen
An abundant and renewable energy source.
While hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements in the universe, hydrogen does not exist in nature alone. To be used as a clean fuel, hydrogen must first be decoupled from other elements.
The power-to-gas process uses renewable electricity to separate hydrogen from oxygen in water. Once separated, the oxygen is released beneficially into our atmosphere and the renewable hydrogen, also known as green hydrogen, is stored or made available for use as a zero-emissions fuel.
Southwest Gas Announces Groundbreaking Hydrogen-Blending Pilot Programs with Arizona and Nevada Universities
What makes hydrogen a great fuel source?
Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe.
Low Emissions
When hydrogen combusts and releases energy, water is the only byproduct.
Hydrogen can be used for transportation, electricity generation and industry which are all considered difficult to decarbonize.
Excess renewable electricity can be used to create renewable hydrogen and stored for use later, helping to solve the renewable energy storage challenge.
Solar and wind power is intermittent. Hydrogen is available in times of low sun, nights and when the wind isn't blowing, adding a reliable fuel source to the green-energy mix.
Committed to safety and reliability, Southwest Gas is working hard to establish hydrogen-blending standards to implement throughout our service territory. One such step took place in November of 2020 when Southwest Gas and several peer utilities filed a joint hydrogen-blending application with the California Public Utilities Commission which will serve as a roadmap for the Company moving forward.
Testing Hydrogen Blending
Southwest Gas is working with our customers, partners and research organizations to study hydrogen blending for electricity co-generation, transportation, home and industrial appliance use, and manufacturing. One such study involves a partnership between Southwest Gas and Arizona State University's Global Institute of Sustainability and Innovation in which Southwest training facilities in Arizona will be used to test hydrogen blending on a closed natural gas distribution system with common natural gas appliances and facilities.
Pioneering Power-to-Gas
The Desert Southwest is rapidly developing solar and wind renewable energy projects, taking full advantage of the area's abundant sunlight and breezy afternoons. As more and more renewable energy is made available, the question of how to store the excess renewable energy becomes increasingly important. That's why Southwest Gas is working with regulators, peer utilities, renewable project developers and our customers to pave the way for excess renewable energy to be converted to green hydrogen through electrolysis by making power-to-gas a not-so-distant future reality.

James Wan To Direct Aquaman
by TheFran | Jun 4, 2015 | Movies & Series
Tags: Aquaman, James Wan, Marvel
Warner Bros. Pictures has just announced that director James Wan is officially set to take the helm of the studio's upcoming Aquaman feature film! James will be known for his work on the recent Furious Seven and The Conjuring. Jason Momoa ("Game of Thrones") is starring as the sea-dwelling superhero. The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, Warner Bros. Pictures.
"We've been so lucky to have worked with James, first on New Line's 'The Conjuring' and now on their upcoming 'The Conjuring 2,'" says Silverman, "and are thrilled to have him on board as we continue to expand our DC slate. The 'Aquaman' film will be a major tentpole picture for us and James's span of work has proven him able to take on any manner of project, bringing his incredible creative talent and unique voice to the material."
Wan will also be supervising the script by Kurt Johnstad (300, 300: Rise of an Empire). Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder and Zack Snyder will serve as producers.
"James is not only a great storyteller but can make action truly explode on the big screen," says Roven, "and Jason has a dynamic presence that commands your attention. Together, they will bring an undeniable vitality and energy to this character as he headlines his first feature film."
Before appearing in his solo film, Momoa's Aquaman will make his big screen debut in Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, set to hit theatres on March 25, 2016. It's also a near certainty that he'll be back for Justice League: Part One, arriving November 10, 2017. Aquaman then hits the following summer with Justice League: Part Two following on June 14, 2019.

Extell pushes forward plans for UWS condo with new partner
775-foot tower at West 66th Street will include 127 units over 38 floors
Jul.July 13, 2020 05:30 PM
By Sylvia Varnham O'Regan
Gary Barnett, Lars Windhorst and 50 West 66th Street (Getty, Extell)
Extell Development is bringing on a new partner for its 775-foot Upper West Side condo tower, which caught heat from the city and local residents last year.
The Gary Barnett-led firm announced Monday that it has teamed up with Tennor Holding B.V., a global investment firm that invests in public and private companies across a range of industries, to co-develop the project at 50 West 66th Street.
The Snøhetta-designed building will feature 127 units over 38 floors, the statement said. Amenities include an indoor pool, basketball court and bowling alley.
The development has faced a series of setbacks over the years. Last January, the city's Department of Buildings gave Extell 15 days to amend its plans for the site after determining that 150-feet of height containing only empty space — built in to allow penthouses to sit higher — would violate zoning laws. After the new plans were accepted by the city, neighbors at the site filed a lawsuit against Extell over zoning complaints, in an effort to halt construction.
Extell was also accused of misleading the public about the building's height, after initial plans filed in 2015 put the building at 262 feet tall. (The figure was revised to 775 feet in 2017, after Extell spent $202 million on air rights.)
While the project appears to be moving forward, the latest announcement comes at a difficult moment in the luxury market, which has been struggling for years, and slid into further decline after the pandemic hit. The glut of unsold inventory in the market has led developers to offer price cuts, concessions and rent-to-own deals, among other strategies. In April, Extell announced across-the-board price cuts at its One Manhattan Square condo "in response to global conditions related to Covid-19."
Still, Lars Windhorst, chairman of Tennor's advisory board, said in a statement that "despite the current challenging environment, Tennor has a long-term belief in New York's global importance."
Windhorst, a German financier who reportedly garnered fame as a teenage entrepreneur, has a history of weathering tumult: He's dealt with personal bankruptcy, a suspended jail sentence and the collapse of two companies, according to a profile in the Financial Times. Tennor, which was founded in 2009, has investments in technology, natural resources, media, and other sectors, in addition to real estate.
It's not immediately clear what the partnership with Tennor means for Extell's earlier partners, Megalith Capital and Kazakh private-equity fund Meridian Capital Limited, the latter of which invested more than $200 million into Extell's New York real estate projects, according to a 2018 analysis by The Real Deal. Extell declined to comment. Megalith and Meridian did not respond to emails seeking comment.

Q: Prolog - get middle element of List I would like to get the middle element of a list in Prolog.
The predicates middle([1,2,3],M) and middle([1,2,3,4],M) should both return 2 as a result.
And I am allowed to use the predicate deleteLast.
I know that there are similar posts that solve that question but I have not found one that just uses deleteLast.
Even the syntax is not correct - however this is my solution so far:
middle([], _).
middle([X|XTail|Y], E) :-
   1 is mod(list_length([X|XTail|Y], 2)),
   middle([XTail], E).
middle([X|XTail|Y], E) :-
   0 is mod(list_length([X|XTail|Y], 2)),
   middle([X|XTail], E).
middle([X], X).

Question: Is that partly correct or am I completely on the wrong path ?

A: Sorry, the attempted solution you have is completely on the wrong path.

*

*It doesn't use deleteLast/2 as you stated you require

*You are using list_length/2 as if it were an arithmetic function, which it is not. It's a predicate.

*You have a term with invalid syntax and unknown semantics, [X|XTail|Y]
In Prolog, you just need to think about it in terms of the rules. Here's an approach using deleteLast/2:
middle([X], X).     % `X` is the middle of the single element list `[X]`
middle([X,_], X).   % `X` is the middle of the two-element list `[X,_]`

% X is the middle of the list `[H|T]` if X is the middle of the list TWithoutLast
%   where TWithoutLast is T with its last element removed
%
middle([H|T], X) :-
    deleteLast(T, TWithoutLast),
    middle(TWithoutLast, X).

I assume deleteLast/2 is well-behaved and just fails if T is empty.
You can also do this with same_length/2 and append/3, but, alas, doesn't use deleteLast/2:
middle(L, M) :-
    same_length(L1, L2),
    append(L1, [M|L2], L).
middle(L, M) :-
    same_length(L1, L2),
    append(L1, [M,_|L2], L).

A: So much unnecessary work, and unnecessary code. length/2 is very efficient, and a true relation. Its second argument is guaranteed to be a non-negative integer. So:
middle(List, Middle) :-
    List = [_|_],           % at least one element
    length(List, Len),
    divmod(Len, 2, Q, R),   % if not available do in two separate steps
    N is Q + R,
    nth1(N, List, Middle).

And you are about ready:
?- middle(L, M), numbervars(L).
L = [A],
M = A ;
L = [A, B],
M = A ;
L = [A, B, C],
M = B ;
L = [A, B, C, D],
M = B ;
L = [A, B, C, D, E],
M = C ;
L = [A, B, C, D, E, F],
M = C .

I understand that this doesn't solve your problem (the answer by @lurker does) but it answers your question. :-(

A: Here is my attempt:
middle(L,M):- append(L1,L2,L),length(L1,N),length(L2,N), reverse(L1,[M|_]).
middle(L,M):- append(L1,L2,L),length(L1,N),length(L2,N1), N is N1+1 ,
              reverse(L1,[M|_]).

Example:
?- middle([1,2,3],M).
M = 2 ;
false.

?- middle([1,2,3,4],M).
M = 2 ;
false.

In your implementation the problem is that by writing for example:
list_length([X|XTail|Y], 2)

The above does not give you as X the first element and as Y the last so I think it has some major problems...
As well pointed out by lurker you could write the above solution in one clause without using reverse/2:
middle(L, M) :- append(L1, [M|T], L), length(L1, N), length([M|T], N1),
                (N1 is N + 1 ; N1 is N + 2).

Also to make the solution more relational (also see mat's comment below) you could use CLPFD library and replace  is/2  with #= like:
middle(L, M) :- append(L1, [M|T], L), length(L1, N), length([M|T], N1),
                (N1 #= N + 1 ; N1 #= N + 2).

A: Another interesting solution is to consider this predicate for splitting a list in half:
half(List, Left, Right) :-
    half(List, List, Left, Right).
half(L, [], [], L).
half(L, [_], [], L).
half([H|T], [_,_|T2], [H|Left], Right) :-
    half(T, T2, Left, Right).

This predicate divides an even list into two equal halves, or an odd list into two pieces where the right half has one more element than the left. It does so by reducing the original list, via the second argument, by two elements, each recursive call, while at the same time reducing the original list by one element each recursive call via the first argument. When it recurses down to the second argument being zero or one elements in length, then the first argument represents the half that's left, which is the right-hand list.
Example results for half/3 are:
| ?- half([a,b,c], L, R).

L = [a]
R = [b,c] ? a

(1 ms) no
| ?- half([a,b,c,d], L, R).

L = [a,b]
R = [c,d] ? a

no
| ?-

We can't quite use this to easily find the middle element because, in the even case, we want the last element of the left hand list. If we could bias the right-hand list by an extra element, we could then pick off the head of the right-hand half as the "middle" element. We can accomplish this using the deleteLast/2 here:
middle([X], X).
middle(List, Middle) :-
    deleteLast(List, ListWithoutLast),
    half(ListWithoutLast, _, [Middle|_]).

The head of the right half list of the original list, with the last element deleted, is the "middle" element. We can also simply half/3 and combine it with middle/2 since we don't really need everything half/3 does (e.g., we don't need the left-hand list, or the tail of the right hand list):
middle([X], X).
middle(List, Middle) :-
    deleteLast(List, ListWithoutLast),
    middle(ListWithoutLast, ListWithoutLast, Middle).
middle([M|_], [], M).
middle([M|_], [_], M).
middle([_|T], [_,_|T2], Right) :-
    middle(T, T2, Right).

Another approach would be to modify half/3 to bias the splitting of the original list in half toward the right-hand half, which eliminates the need for using deleteLast/2.

modified_half(List, Left, Right) :-
    modified_half(List, List, Left, Right).
modified_half(L, [_], [], L).
modified_half(L, [_,_], [], L).
modified_half([H|T], [_,_,X|T2], [H|Left], Right) :-
    modified_half(T, [X|T2], Left, Right).

This will bias the right hand list to have an extra element at the "expense" of the left:
| ?- modified_half([a,b,c,d,e], L, R).

L = [a,b]
R = [c,d,e] ? a

no
| ?- modified_half([a,b,c,d,e,f], L, R).

L = [a,b]
R = [c,d,e,f] ? a

no
| ?-

Now we can see that the middle element, per the original definition, is just the head of the right hand list. We can create a new definition for middle/2 using the above. As we did before with half/3, we can ignore everything but the head in the right half, and we can eliminate the left half since we don't need it, and create a consolidated middle/2 predicate:
middle(List, Middle) :-
    middle(List, List, Middle).
middle([M|_], [_,_], M).
middle([M|_], [_], M).
middle([_|T], [_,_,X|T2], Middle) :-
    middle(T, [X|T2], Middle).

This reduces the original list down one element at a time (first argument) and two elements at a time (second argument) until the second argument is reduced to one or two elements. It then considers the head first argument to be the middle element:
This gives:
| ?- middle([a,b,c], M).

M = b ? ;

no
| ?- middle([a,b,c,d], M).

M = b ? ;

no
| ?- middle(L, M).

L = [M,_] ? ;

L = [M] ? ;

L = [_,M,_,_] ? ;

L = [_,M,_] ? ;

L = [_,_,M,_,_,_] ? ;

L = [_,_,M,_,_] ? ;

L = [_,_,_,M,_,_,_,_] ?

During that summer, Amanda finished Sleep Toward Heaven, which was published in 2003. It is inevitable that our hearts should open, at least to the possibility of forgiveness, if it is even ours to give. About the author: Amanda Eyre Ward was born in New York City, and graduated from Williams College and the University of Montana. Sleep Towards Heaven takes place in Texas and examines the morality and far-reaching implications of the death penalty in a moving, yet relatively unbiased, manner. I very strongly recommend this beautiful, powerful, and realistic book. Each chapter is told from one of their perspectives, and the voice for each is clear and distinguishable. I think she did a great job because each woman was different, had a different voice, and a different sense of being.
Left me crying one moment and then laughing. Her character is a murderer, but she had such a tragic life, surely we can judge the murder in a different life? We also follow a doctor who works in the prison, and the wife of a victim. I went to Williams College, where I signed up for Jim Shepard's Introductory Fiction Workshop. The novel is set in the fictional Gatestown, which is obviously a stand-in for the real Gates ville in which the Mountain View Unit for female Death Row prisoners is actually located. The writing is spare and powerful, beautiful, never a word too many or wrongly put.
Franny Wren, also twenty-nine, tends to a young cancer patient, and resists the urge to run from her fiancé and her carefully crafted life. The author has rendered society's most loathsome people in a way that is sympathetic without sentimentality. Celia, a librarian, is struggling to come to terms with the death of her husband years ago. The characters in this novel were quite strong, and there was definitely a high emotional appeal, but the plot was very predictable. Celia, a librarian, is struggling to come to terms with the death of her husband years ago.
A very heartwarming book that didn't get half the attention it deserved when it came out. There's a subtle kind of danger in the prose. There's just so much beautiful stuff here. I had trouble keeping up with the characters, who are all very damaged. Authors and publishers: If you wish to make changes to a bio, send the complete biography as you would like it displayed so that we can replace the old with the new. She is married to Tip Meckel.
It is a story of forgiveness, what it means to forgive others and how to forgive yourself. I am glad that I did. I don't think everything can or should be forgiven, but I recognize the redemptive power of forgiveness and it is brought out perfectly in this book. The women on death row seem to be loosely based on famous serial killers such as Aileen Wuornos and Darlie Routier. I found it weird that anyone would want to go watch someone die, no matter what they did to your loved one. Ward is obviously not from Texas, but this fact, obviously, does not take away from the quality of her writing, which is well-researched and written in lovely prose. Ward's writing style wasn't all that impressive in prose, but it was so simple and I found it very easy to relate to what she wrote about.
Her most recent work, The Nearness of You was published in early 2017. I didn't particular care about anyone in the book. Letting go of the past in order to move on with the future. Beautifully written novel about the lives of three women - Karen, on death row for murdering several men, Celia, a widow whose husband was killed by Karen and Franny, a doctor trying to make Karen's last days more humane. Those who like Joyce Carol Oates reality based fiction may find this book interesting. At first, the three narratives seem to be randomly thrown together, but their connection is revealed soon enough. Forgive Me was published in 2007.
Of the three, she seems to be the one most damaged, going through the motions and sedating herself with alcohol. This is a page-turner I finished in one sitting. I typed all night on my Brother word processor, creating a story about a speed-addled trucker on an all-night run. This novel follows three women who seemingly have very different stories but ultimately wind up coming together in a moment that changes their lives forever. Both moving and hopeful, this is a passionately written book that strongly engaged me as a reader. Now I am saddened that it took me so long to read this wonderful story.
In Gatestown, Texas, twenty-nine-year-old Karen Lowens awaits her execution with a host of convicted serial killers on death row. Her relationship with her boyfriend and Sylvia's relationship with hers eerily mirrors the relationship of Izaan and Jordan, but that remains symbolic rather than fully explored. Karen is on death row. You won't be able to put it down after that. Franny Wren, also twenty-nine, tends to a young cancer patient, and resists the urge to run from her fiancé and her carefully crafted life.

I've used GPB Glycogen Protein Balancing Conditioner before so I already knew how luxurious it feels. I had to stop using it though because I had sisterlocks...I am now in the long, long, long and tedious process of combing them out (I refuse to cut them as I am not a "short-hair" type of woman). Thanks Aubrey O!!
I saw the Giovanni balanced hydrating PH balanced shampoo was on sale when I needed the Clinical Essentials multi-vitamin,by Terry Naturally ( which I can't be without ). Would definitely reccommend.
I used to use Aubrey GPB Conditioner exclusively for my long hair--it was the only thing that kept it manageable! But Aubrey was bought by Washington Partners in 2016, and they took it off the market for nearly a year to "reformulate" it. I was dismayed that they would change the formulation of a perfect product, but nonetheless was the first to buy it when it became available.

I purchased two flavors of the conditioner, Rosemary & Peppermint, and Vanilla Balsam. After a month, the Rosemary & Peppermint started to smell weird, like sour milk, and eventually I had to stop using it, even there was about a third of the bottle left, because it made my hair smell terrible. The expiration on the bottle is 05/2019.

I switched to the Vanilla Balsam. This one was fine in terms of smell, and likewise conditions okay (but not as well as the original product), but has little wax-like balls in it that I find distracting, like you'd find in exfoliating scrubs.

I called Aubrey 8-30-17 to ask them if it needed to be kept in the fridge between washings, and the customer service rep said, "No." When I told her about the sour milk smell, and even told her I had to stop using it, she said that was normal. I asked her if the wax-like beads in the Vanilla Balsam were "normal" and she answered, "Yes" and seemed unconcerned about the degradation in the product. I told her that I would be buying a different brand in the future (which I discovered in the intervening year that this was unavailable) and she was cordial in agreeing that would be best.

Apple Grows its Social Circle
The Apple rumors are out in full force, andEngadget reports that the company might be launching a new video service today, called "The Circle".
The speculation says that it could be similar to the Zune's Social, a device-to-device sharing service. If true, it jibes with the rumors of WiFi in the new iPods, and it'll be interesting to see what happens with sharing when there are actually other people to share stuff with. The name doesn't seem very Apple-like, but video is certainly Cupertino's current infatuation. We'll see in a few hours.

It is not permissible for the respondent-State to simply re-arrest the petitioners by ignoring order dated 02.06.2016 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Pune, which was in force at that time, the bench said.
The Supreme Court has observed that it is not permissible to simply re-arrest the accused, by adding another offence, ignoring the bail order in force at that time.
A bench of Justice SA Bobde and Justice L Nageswara Rao was considering an SLP filed by the accused, who, though granted bail by the sessions court, was re-arrested as the police added another offence under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code in the FIR.
Earlier, FIR was registered against the accused of the offences punishable under Sections 509 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code and under Sections 12 and 17 of the Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences Act. The Sessions Court, observing that bail in the bailable offence is right of the accused, granted bail to the accused. Later, the police added Section 376 IPC and re-arrested the accused.
Releasing the accused on bail, the bench said the state is at liberty to apply for cancellation of bail and seek the custody of the accused.

Q: Example of how to use Omniauth with Azure B2C and OpenID Connect I would like to use Omniauth to initiate an implicit flow login to Azure B2C.
I found the following example from https://github.com/omniauth/omniauth_openid_connect. But, I will change it like below to use implicit flow.
config.omniauth :openid_connect, {
  name: :my_provider,
  scope: [:openid],
  response_type: :id_token,
  uid_field: "preferred_username",
  client_options: {
    port: 443,
    scheme: "https",
    host: "myprovider.com",
    identifier: ENV["OP_CLIENT_ID"],
    redirect_uri: "http://myapp.com/users/auth/openid_connect/callback",
  },
}

However, I need to configure this for Azure B2C, which includes a specific authorization endpoint and policy name. I see that I can specify a host which appears to probably just be a domain name. And I can also specify a path to authorization_endpoint.
Considering that the Azure B2C authorization endpoint is:
https://<tenant name>.b2clogin.com/<tenant name>.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
And I can specify as a parameter p=<policy ID>. Or,
https://<tenant name>.b2clogin.com/<tenant name>.onmicrosoft.com/<Policy ID>/oauth2/v2.0/authorize without the p=<Policy ID> parameter.
How would the Omniauth client be configured to do this?
Would I just specify the host as <tenant name>.b2clogin.com and specify the authorization_endpoint as /<tenant name>.onmicrosoft.com/<Policy ID>/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?
What about the the discovery endpoint which is supposed to automatically handle configuring the authorization_endpoint and other options?


If you love chili and burritos, welcome to your new favorite recipe. Load leftover chili in a tortilla with rice and cheese, and you're done! Chili Cheese Burritos are freezer-friendly, too!
So here's the most exciting thing to happen to a tortilla since since the tortilla press.
But really, shouldn't we have been doing this all along? Chili is full of meat and beans. Burritos are full of meat and beans. As my high school English teacher would say: Bingo Bango Bongo.
This all happened because last week I made the easiest chili ever. Shredded beef falling apart in a sea of tomatoes, vegetables, beans, and spices. I also had leftover tortillas from making WAY too many of these.
So yes, this almost-too-obvious burrito situation happened and I'm not the least bit sorry about it.
Keeping things simple yet practical, I set my chili over a strainer to drain out the excess liquid. This step is optional and depends somewhat on your preferences and how thick your chili is.
The most important piece of advice I have for you here is about how to add ingredients to a tortilla to make a burrito.
Pile them on top of one another.
Maybe you already knew this, but in the past I have made the mistake of laying the ingredients side by side, and that's really just a subpar way to accomplish the task. You'll end up with bites that are missing half your ingredients. Totally lame.
I also suggest throwing the burrito on a skillet for a bit to add some lovely grill marks. It looks better and it tastes better.
Here's my chili recipe if you love the laziness of a slow cooker. If you want to get fancy with your rice, my Cilantro-Lime Rice is a favorite around here. Plain rice tastes great too.
Save this Chili Cheese Burrito to your "Main Dishes" Pinterest board!
If you love chili and burritos, welcome to your new favorite recipe. Load leftover chili in a tortilla with rice and cheese, and you're done! Chili Cheese Burritos are freezer-friendly, too!
Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Arrange about 1/2 cup chili in the middle of the tortilla. Top with 1/2 cup rice and 1/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
Fold two sides of the burrito in, then fold the remaining two sides over to form a small packet. Please seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat lightly with nonstick spray if desired. Heat the filled burritos on one side until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip and continue heating on the second side.
Optional:Set the chili in a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl for 10 to 15 minutes, pressing down lightly with the back of the spoon, to remove excess liquid.
Love this idea. I'm making your chili for this one. I think a burrito or a taco are just as versatile as pizza and are the second most perfect foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
I saw the words, 'Chili Cheese Burrito' and I knew I had to pop over. This looks incredibly delicoius and perfect for 'the big game' coming up!
This is a really easy sell, Meggan. It's a perfect way to use up that huge pot of chili. I suppose the resulting burritos could be frozen, too?
Perfect use of leftover chili and pure comfort food for Game Day!
Ok so, I finally made it back to this post so I could comment on it. Seriously, I when I visit your page for a purpose, I end up side tracked and pinning half a dozen t hings before I get back to what I came for! LOL I love your blog! Anyway, I made a big batch of my chili for an upcoming blog post, and I always make a huge batch. I like turning the leftovers into different things like chili dogs, and now… my new most favorite way to use leftover chili… your Chili Cheese Burrito! OMG!! These are to die for! I'm going to have to do a little bragging when my chili post goes live. People should not miss this. Everyone needs this burrito in their life! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I love it!
I'm adding the rice… good idea! I'm adding Corn chips TOO…like a well known fast food place does!

Q: UITabBar remove the black background As the title states, I haven't been successful in removing the black background in the UITabBar.
I know it is possible to add a subview on top of it. But I want it to be transparent so if I add a transparent subview on top of it, it will just have the underlying black color.
Setting the tintColor made me able to change the color of the UITabBar, but when I change it to clearColor it will just be black again.
Anybody know how to remove the underlying image or color so it will be transparent?

A: When they added the tintColor property in iOS 5, they also added a number of other appearance-customization functionality to UITabBar. See, backgroundImage and selectionIndicatorImage, and the finishedSelectedImage and finishedUnselectedImage properties of UITabBarItem.
