This agreement is effective as of March 18, 2018.
This Motiv Visa Card Agreement and Disclosure Statement ("Agreement") applies to the Motiv Visa® Debit Card ("Card") previously issued, or to be issued, by Evolve Bank and Trust ("Bank," "us," "our") and represents an agreement between you ("you, " "your, " "yours") and Bank and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Bank is pleased to issue you a Card, which enables you to make certain electronic fund transfers to and from your deposit account with Bank ("Deposit Account" or "Account"). You can find a copy of your Deposit Account Agreement on our website at www.motiv,money.com or mobile application (if any) (collectively, the "Website"). You do not have to sign this Agreement but you should sign the Card as soon as you receive it – it helps protect against unauthorized use of your Card. By retaining or using the Card or by authorizing anyone else to use the Card, you have agreed to the terms of this Agreement. Please read this Agreement carefully and keep it for future reference.
If you use your Card or the account number for your Card to authorize in advance any recurring payments from your Deposit Account (for example, a monthly gym membership fee) and later wish to stop one or more of these payments, you should contact the merchant/biller directly. If the merchant/biller fails to stop the recurring payments, contact us at 844-536-2636 or send a support message via the Website. If you wish us to stop a particular payment, you must notify us as provided in the agreement for the Deposit Account from which this payment is made in time for us to receive your request three (3) business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you deliver your stop payment request by telephone you must confirm your stop payment order in writing within 21 days of your oral stop payment order. An oral stop payment request will not be binding on us after 21 days if you fail to provide the required written confirmation (which can be in the form of a support message submitted via the Website). Your Card may have to be cancelled in order to stop recurring payments.
You agree that you will not use your Card for any transaction that is illegal in the jurisdiction where you reside, in the jurisdiction where the transaction is consummated, or in any other jurisdiction affected by the transaction. You agree that it is your responsibility to determine the legality of each transaction in all applicable jurisdictions before entering into such transaction. Display of the Visa logo or any other logo by any person accepting the Card does not indicate that the transaction is legal in all applicable jurisdictions. You acknowledge and agree that we have no obligation to monitor, to review or to evaluate the legality of your Card transactions. You also agree that you will not use your Card in connection with any Internet or online gambling transaction or lottery ticket purchase, whether or not the same is legal in any applicable jurisdiction. We may refuse to process any Card transaction that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement, your Deposit Account agreement or applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to pay for any Card transaction that you authorized, even if that transaction is determined to be illegal.
The daily period to which these limitations apply shall commence at 12:00 Midnight on each day and end at 12:00 Midnight on the following day (CST). We may add to, remove from or otherwise change our limitations at any time and without notice to you. Because of the limitations imposed by some non-Bank ATMs and in the event of equipment failure or unavailability, you may not be able to withdraw or to access funds even though you have not exceeded these limitations.
Other than the International Service Fee described in the next paragraph, we do not charge any fees for the use or initial issuance of the Card. We will not charge you a fee to use your Card at any in-network ATM, however, operators of other ATMs and cash dispensing devices, their Networks, and merchants may charge you a fee. Some cash dispensing devices appear to be ATMs, but actually may process certain transactions as PIN transactions. If you use your Card multiple times at one of these cash dispensing devices, some transactions may be processed as PIN Transactions and others as ATM Transactions.
"International Transactions" include any transaction that you make using your Card in a foreign currency and any transaction made using your Card outside of the United States of America, even if that transaction is made in U.S. dollars. If you make a transaction in a currency other than U.S. dollars, Visa will convert the amount of that transaction into U.S. dollars according to its own currency conversion procedures in effect at that time. The exchange rate used to convert the currency is either a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets on the applicable processing date (which rate may differ from the rate the entity itself receives), or the government mandated exchange rate in effect on the applicable processing date. The exchange rate in effect on the applicable processing date may differ from the exchange rate in effect on the date you used your Card or Account. The amount (in U.S. dollars) of any credit associated with a particular foreign currency transaction is likely to differ from the amount (in U.S. dollars) of the original transaction due to differences in the applicable rates, which may vary daily. VISA may charge you an International Service Fee (sometimes referred to as an "ISF") equal to one percent (1%) of the U.S. dollar amount of any International Transaction. The International Service Fee will be calculated on the U.S. dollar amount provided to us by Visa and will be charged to the same Account to which the transaction is posted at the same time the International Transaction posts to that Account. The same conversion process and fee may apply if any International Transaction is reversed or credited back to your Account.
At the time you requested your Card, you opened the deposit account with Bank through Motiv to which all POS transactions on your Card would be posted, and this deposit account is referred to as your primary Deposit Account. If your primary Deposit Account is closed, you will lose access to your Account and your Card will no longer work.
You agree to notify us immediately if your Card or PIN is lost or stolen, or if you believe either your Card, PIN, or the account number for your Card is subject to any unauthorized use. You also agree to take any reasonable actions we may request to prevent unauthorized Card use. Contact customer service IMMEDIATELY if a you believe: (a) a Card has been lost or stolen, (b) someone has gained unauthorized access to any access information for your Deposit Account, or (c) someone has transferred or may transfer funds from the Card without your permission. Reporting a lost/stolen Card or unauthorized transactions through 844-536-2636 or by logging into the Website to deactivate the Card is the best way to minimize possible losses. Telephoning is the best way to keep your possible losses down.
Contact us immediately if you believe that your Card has been lost, stolen or subject to unauthorized use, as provided in Section 11 above. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You can lose all the money in your Deposit Account.
We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing the investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. Copies of the documentation used in the investigation may be obtained by contacting us at the phone number or address shown at the beginning of this section.

Your termination of this Agreement will not affect any of our rights or your obligations arising under this Agreement prior to termination.
From time to time, services related to the Motiv and the Deposit Account may be inoperative. When this happens, you may be unable to access the Website, and you may be unable to use the Card or obtain information about the Card. Please notify us if you have any problems using the Card or Website. You agree that except as required by applicable law, we will not be responsible for temporary interruptions in service due to maintenance, website changes, or failures, nor shall we be liable for extended interruptions due to failures beyond our control, including but not limited to the failure of interconnecting and operating systems, computer viruses, forces of nature, labor disputes and armed conflicts.

Q: Accessing POST Data by Index Is there any way to access POST data by index, rather than accessing it through keys? I'd like the following code to work:
for($x = 0; $x < count($_POST); $x++)
    echo $x . ": " . $_POST[$x];

(Yes, I know that count in the loop is bad, just using it for simplicity)
The problem is that apparently I can't access the $_POST variable by index, it has to be accessed by key. The reason I can't use keys is because I'm going to have variable form data, so there could be more or less in the POST, so I need to be able to loop through a variable number of keys, with variable names.
Any help is appreciated!
EDIT: To clarify, I was confused because I had previously assumed that PHP arrays behaved almost like C++ enumerations.

A:
Is there any way to access POST data by index, rather than accessing it through keys?

No, it doesn't have numerical indexes.

The reason I can't use keys is because I'm going to have variable form data, so there could be more or less in the POST, so I need to be able to loop through a variable number of keys, with variable names.

You can loop through associative arrays. See the documentation of foreach.
foreach (array_expression as $key => $value)
  statement

A: Use foreach() instead, it also works on numeric arrays.
foreach ($_POST as $key=>$val)
    printf("%s: %s\n", $key, $val);

A: Why not just use foreach
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
}

?

A: foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {
    echo $key. ":" .$value;
}

A: Indexes and keys are the same thing. The key is either a number (e.g. $_POST[0]) or it's a string (e.g. $_POST['foo']). It cannot be both. You cannot access $_POST['foo'] through $_POST[0].

A: Technically possible, though foreach is superior:
$postVals = array_value($_POST);
$postCount = count($_POST);
for($x = 0; $x < $postCount; $x++)
    echo $x . ": " . $postVals[$x];

Crazy Legs poses for a portrait at the Red Bull BC One Camp in Houston, TX, USA on 28 April, 2018.
What made you fall in love with music? More specifically, what made you fall in love with hip hop? Was it how it made you feel when you heard the beat drop? Was it the lyrics? For me, it was the dance. Breakdancing was always the most fascinating element of hip hop next to DJing for me, and I would try my best to emulate the moves I saw and have the same attitude I felt from the dancers. Trying to do handstands, headstands, and windmills on my own made me realize the skill and talent it took to be a dancer, and that only furthered my admiration of these counter culture creatures who, for whatever reasons, dedicated their entire lives to movement. I got into the dance scene at an early age, had to stop dancing when I became very ill, and got back into it recently, only to find that I hated every new dance that came out.
I found myself in an abyss where I would look at kids like Ayo and Teo funny because they couldn't possibly be working up a sweat with those moves. I would look down my nose at people "hittin dem folks" because which folks and why are we hitting them? Why are we making dances out of coughing motions after taking a hit of a dab pen? And MY GAWD, why do people still cheer when someone milly rocks like we don't ALL do that every time a song comes on? I was at yet another dance class, annoyed to no end because the choreographers I looked up to were actually included those foolish moves into their dances when all at once it hit me: It wasn't ever supposed to be for me.
The love of my life, as Erykah called it, my best friend, my go-to, my ace had evolved, and I had not allowed myself to evolve with it. Sure, there were some songs and dances that I did not care to entertain, but for most of them, I would look at the artist and decide I wasn't with it, or look at my nephew doing a dance and roll my eyes because "back in my day blah blah blah," and if I was going to take up the fight of returning it to whatever glory days I thought existed, there was a definitive MMA Betting Guide that predicted my failure.
Blacka, Crazy Legs, and Marley (Havikoro)
I recently got the chance to speak with breaking OG Crazy Legs at the Red Bull BC One Dance Camp and Competition about today's music and dance. Crazy Legs began breaking when hip hop was new – he lived in the Bronx in the '70s, went to jams in his neighborhood where his brothers we DJs, and he lived through the war between hip hop and disco, kind of like what music is going through right now. I would have expected him to be a bit understanding when referencing what is happening, but he said, in no uncertain terms, that people who won't acknowledge today's sound are "old and bitter."
"The kids today," he said, "let's say they like mumble rap. I say 'Let them live.' You're outnumbered. They're not doing the same thing as you that's raising a family right now…give it up. They have to go through their own growing pains. It's kinda like an 'each one, teach one.' Then you have to let them have their own wisdom and what they're gonna do with that information. I refuse to be against them because that's when you make yourself irrelevant and start to tear down the bridge to have a dialogue with them. I don't know why they're mumbling. But if I did, I might be like, 'Oh shit, that's exactly what we were doing back in the day.' If you don't talk down to them, you may find yourself dancing to the same songs."
Afrobeats choreographer Blacka added on, "They were trying to keep (the music how it was), but what if everybody kept everything from us?"
It seems like hip hop fans and purists alike can have a self-righteous attitude toward the genre, which makes complete sense, but is sometimes off base. We own parts of it in our souls. It was there for us when no one else was. It was the foundation for what we aspired to live out (whether productive or non-productive), and we carry those ideals with us as adults. For that reason, counterfeits are disgusting and offensive to us. While that makes sense, we have to realize that the beginnings of hip hop were not rooted in consciousness – hip hop was about the jams, the parties, and honestly, a lot of shady stuff was going on behind the scenes. As it emerged, people used it more and more often as a means to talk about what was happening in the streets. It came to the forefront, which turned out to be a great thing, but we forget about the parties and playfulness at its inception.
Kids today are doing the same things we remember music doing – talking about what's happening in the world, but those events are vastly different. As those of us who listened to songs that made us want to better ourselves give our children opportunity, they're seeing more and doing more, and some of what they are seeing isn't healthy. What we're doing to kids today is what adults were trying to do to the founders then – silence them, and tell them to stop talking about what is happening in their real lives. Imagine what would happen if, instead of "canceling" kids for talking about drugs and depression, we would try and understand why the sentiments and behaviors are so widespread. Perhaps there would be one less Lil Peep incident, and a couple more Lil Pumps, Gucci Manes, and Smokepurpps, telling their counterparts that isn't the way.
Hip hop taught us, but we can't always expect those same songs to appeal to the new generation. Maybe now it's our turn.

"18 to 20 March saw the international wine and spirit industries get together at their No. 1 trade fair, ProWein in Düsseldorf. Over 6,870 exhibitors from 64 countries (2017: 6,615 exhibitors from 62 nations) provided a unique global overview of the current wine and spirits ranges. Over 60,000 trade visitors (2017: 58,500) made use of this platform to place orders and gather information. With these figures ProWein 2018 again hit new top scores. "Whoever has made their passion for wines and spirits their profession simply cannot afford to miss ProWein in Dusseldorf," says Hans Werner Reinhard, Managing Director at Messe Düsseldorf, summing up the phenomenon ProWein.

I've been reading Brad Feld's book Startup Communities: Building an Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Your Community in which he reveals the fun and easy steps to transform any community in the world into an entrepreneurial hotbed. Feld is one of the co-founders of TechStars, fast becoming a brand name and guidepost for a new wave of startup "accelerators." Accelerators are different from incubators in that entrepreneurial mentors guide the process, the residency term is finite and packed with programming, and the "demo day" for incubated companies is a make or break deadline for developing a viable company.
My description of his book is admittedly a bit cheeky, but Feld expressly states that just about any city/region can develop an entrepreneurial ecosystem if it just puts the right pieces in place. Apparently, many of these pieces involve having a bunch of young, talented, nerdy, Type-A white guys who really like each other, love to "network," and aren't afraid to sow their entrepreneurial oats over and over again until they succeed. Once that happens, they owe a debt to the "community" – Feld also calls it the entrepreneurial "stack" – to give back through mentorship and participation in numerous local events for – and by – the "community." I'm not kidding about the white guy part; references to female entrepreneurs or entrepreneurs-of-color are few and far between in Feld's manifesto. Brad also has many harsh words for just about anyone other than entrepreneurs trying to develop and sustain a technology ecosystem. If it's not driven by entrepreneurs, it won't work. Held up for criticism as unfit to be entrepreneurial standard-bearers are economic developers, anyone in government, and just about everyone in academia. We just don't get what it means to be an entrepreneur and how to help other entrepreneurs succeed.
The core tenets of Feld's model are basically that communities must be open, inclusive, non-risk-averse, egalitarian, and fertile ground for entrepreneurs to come together as a networked community to do stuff, plan stuff, meet a lot, eat pizza, drink coffee, talk a lot about potential business ideas, vet those business ideas, try to fund those business ideas, help each other make those business ideas work, and then repeat ad infinitum until you're Silicon Valley. Yes, it takes time – but you'll get there, young Skywalker! Sorry – being cheeky again. But it's easy to be as Feld is often so smug and self-assured about his model. Of course, he's speaking from his position as a leader of Boulder, Colorado's startup community, renowned as one of the country's most dynamic. His perspective might be a bit different if he were toiling out of any number of aging, dying, disinvested, dysfunctional cities peppering our national landscape. I'd like to see a follow up to Startup Communities called "Wind-Down Communities" in which Brad throws in the towel after failing to ignite an entrepreneurial firestorm in Deadsville, USA. Cheeky again – sorry about that.
What has really made me cynical about Feld's thesis is a new report by Dane Stangler of the Kauffman Foundation called, "Path-Dependent Startup Hubs." According to Stangler, "Regional entrepreneurship ecosystems, aka startup communities, are being studied and touted as the next new thing in economic development for cities and metropolitan areas across the country…And for good reason." As recent data have shown, companies with fewer than 50 employees have brought our country out of recession. But Stangler's research also identified this little tidbit: "The adoption in recent years of new entrepreneurship programs in many cities is perhaps more an indication of the underlying strength of the region and its base of talent on which those programs can build than it is a cause of startup activity." In other words, the rich get richer. While Brad Feld seems to think that all a community needs to do is be open, network its entrepreneurs, have them create cool programs, and just watch the successful companies sprout from the ground like weeds, he fails to ever acknowledge that you need the entrepreneurs there in the first place to even have a chance of being a startup hub. Yes, he credits the University of Colorado, Boulder as being a great source of young tech talent, but he fails to lay out a Plan B if you don't have this infinite fount of Baby Bezoses or Gerber Gateses. Or, if you have a major university, but you're not a place where anyone wants to stay past college.
In other words, what Feld doesn't acknowledge or understand is that there are some communities where smart young people just don't want to be. In fact, there are a lot of communities like this. And applying his Startup 101 principles in these places just ain't gonna work. What they have to do first is become "stickier" communities for talent and THEN try to be startup hubs. "Sticky" places feature the types of amenities and lifestyles that appeal to talented folks who can basically choose to live wherever they want. Austin, Texas is a famously sticky place; so too Atlanta; so too the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Portland, D.C., Research Triangle, Dallas, New York, Houston, etc. – basically, all the places that show up on the "ten best" lists and have the country's strongest economies. If your community is more slippery than sticky at this point, about all you can do is apply the glue one layer at a time by strategizing how to make your economy, built environment, arts and cultural capacity, recreation amenities, downtown districts, neighborhoods, public schools, live music scene, and a hundred other criteria as competitive as possible for top companies and talent.
Anyway. Read Feld's book for yourself and decide if it makes sense for your community. There's some good stuff in there; I don't want to imply that there isn't. But also take his advice with a grain of salt. It's easier to get to the top of the mountain when you're already most of the way up.

Happenings - Special Events April 11, 2014 <April 29, 2015
Horsemen's Reunion
Watching the Horsemen's Reunion at the Paso Robles Event Center is a bit like watching a 3-ring circus. Three round pens and two larger arenas are overflowing with horsemen and women and horses! Today the action was happening in the Hearst Equestrian Center, even though by day 3 of the 8-day event some seasoned spectators were anticipating that the action would have moved from round pens to the grandstand arena. My conversation with one experienced trainer and former Re-Union colt starter revealed that he felt there were a lot more "green entries" than past years. When asked if he was referring to the herd of 40 or so colts being started, he smiled and said, "Yeah, them too".
Cristobal and Oscar Scarpati
For me the highlight and the most exciting part of the action was watching Cristobal Scarpati and his dad Oscar from Argentina (San Luis coincidently). The barefooted son and father worked with their assigned colts using "Doma India" or "Indian Taming Methods" from their tribal heritage. Watching someone who is barefooted while an anxious colt dances around puts me on the edge of my seat and brings back memories of my big old grey lesson horse, Chico, landing his front hoof directly on my booted foot when I was about 13 years old.
Ed Robertson, cutting horse trainer and Bobby Ingersoll, 3- time Snaffle Bit Futurity winner, did a great hackamore demonstration. Watching Ed, who despite feeling a bit under the weather, work his horse, was beautiful. Like riding on air and with the softness of contact coveted by many of us.
Bobby Ingersoll
Kelly Barker and Russell Dilday's commentary is always funny, light hearted and keeps the spectators informed and engaged. I was happy that there is still some lighthearted jabbing toward some of the celebrity trainers. Missing this year was Pat Parelli. Mentioning Parelli's name around experienced horse people always brings a mixed reaction, so when Barker and Dilday jokingly referred to one of the horsemen who had not yet mounted his colt as Parelli-like, they earned a roar from the spectators, all in good fun I'm sure. I overheard some spectators who were disappointed that crowd favorites Chris Cox and Craig Cameron weren't at this year's event as well.
Horseman Trevor Carter worked with Martin Black and a colt with some issues striking out from the hind. A great session in teamwork, trust, balance and humor with Carter mounted on the colt and Martin supporting and coaching him over the public address system.
Cathie Twisselman chatting up the crowd
Amber Wiese, Horsemen's Reunion staff person, told me that this year was off to a great start. They made some changes to the schedule including moving the horse sale to Saturday instead of the final day, Sunday, April 13. The reason is to give the new owners an opportunity to one-on-one work with their new colt and the horsemen that started them. These sessions are open to the spectators and run between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Watching the colts and the men and women working with them, it is hard to understand how anyone would think that 8 days of colt-starting results in a horse a novice could continue with successfully, but there are stories swirling of colts and naïve new owners that didn't work out.
Perhaps giving the new owner's one-on-one time with colt and horseman will help bridge the gap.
There are also success stories such as owner Ashley Dillard of Santa Margarita, a distance competitive trail rider and long-time horsewoman, whose now three year old from last year's sale is get ready to head off to a professional trainer for the next steps in his training process.
According to Western Horsemen Review, in 2013 the highest sale price was $6,500 and the average sale price was $2,500 (oddly, the site shows the exact same data for 2013 and 2012).
Watching twenty of the premier horsemen and women from around the world work 40 colts over 8 days is a lot of fun with some great learning opportunities mixed in!

An all-round development of tourism as a prospective sector of the Slovene economy, must employ skilled individuals capable of understanding local trends, as well as global trends. Tourism is indeed the sector which enables connectivity in-between.
Our magisterial study program of innovative tourism management was drafted jointly by Alma Mater Europaea and the French business school IEMI, with the purpose of meeting the needs and challenges of a growing industry. Our syllabus was prepared by the field's experts.
This program is intended for students who wish to build on their knowledge of modern tourism trends and challenges. Its content enables them to tackle the most difficult of policies, providing opportunity to play a visible and leading role in this growing and dynamic sector.
Innovative tourism management is a 2-year-long, magisterial study program (4 semesters), which comprises of 120 ECTS credit points. Upon completion, one may choose to continue this educational path with a doctoral, third degree study.
Mandatory classes are spread out between 2 semesters within each of 2 years. The first year comprises of 5 courses per semester, whereby each class is worth 6 ECTS points in the first semester, and 4 ECTS points in the second. Students additionally select two electives, each of which is also worth 3 ECTS points.
In the 3rd semester, students attend 5 mandatory classes and 2 electives, whereas the final semester is devoted to the writing of a master's thesis.
The study program will combine classroom work with online studies. It features: lectures, case studies, online content, group work, excursions, guest speakers and project work.
This study program is taught in English, through the cooperation of lecturers from both institutions. In light of this unique cooperative opportunity, we enable each of our students to complete at least one semester at our partner institution abroad.
Students will gain in-depth knowledge and training that will help them: find new sources of relevant knowledge, utilize adequate scientific research methods, understand the importance and challenges of responsibility in managing complex tourism-related systems, as well as developing critical reflection, social and communication abilities by stimulating teamwork.
The main objectives of this magisterial study are the deepening and expansion of capabilities in the leadership of all tourist industries. It is the role of said staff to master and solve development questions and make the most critical of decisions.

Surrey County Cricket Club
Surrey cricket building for future with new deals
Roy, Burns, Foakes and Sam Curran all on long-term contracts as Stewart shapes up squad

Four players have signed fresh long-term contracts as Surrey build a squad to challenge for honours.
Jason Roy – who missed yesterday's one-day international in Bangladesh through a quad strain – has agreed a new three-year deal, as have opener Rory Burns, wicketkeeper Ben Foakes and all-rounder Sam Curran.
Surrey hammered by Warwickshire in One Day Cup final
"It's exciting times for the club," said Roy, who rose through the Surrey Academy, adding: "The nucleus of the squad have grown up playing together and will be looking to win some silverware together over the next three years."
Director of cricket Alec Stewart maintains that Roy can add Test caps to his ODI and T20 collection: "With his continued work ethic and improvement, I would hope to see him playing other formats of the game for England very soon."
Surrey collapse in Royal London One Day Cup final
Vice-captain Burns, 26, passed 1,000 runs in the Specsavers County Championship as Surrey finished fifth on their return to the top level, although he was once again ignored by England's selectors for any of their winter squads.
Foakes, 23, was given his chance behind the stumps instead of Gary Wilson and quickly established himself as a vital player in both the four-day games – taking 43 catches in the Championship and averaging more than 40 with the bat – and 50-over format.
He earned a place on the England Lions winter programme – as did 18-year-old Curran, once his A-level studies finished to show he is one of the most exciting young talents in England.

My former boss of many years retired in June 2018. This bar was designed and build for him to enjoy for years to come. The redwood was milled and dried for 2 years after being fell from his front yard. I added rustic corrugated steel for the faces to enclose it. Pics are here before and after the metal was added. It looks good either way.

Q: help with jQuery selector to find last DIV in the body that doesn't have fixed positioning I am fighting this thing and cannot figure it out... can someone please help.
I want to find the last DIV in the BODY that:
   A) Is NOT a specified ID (the easy part); and
   B) Does NOT have fixed positioning (the part that's killing me)
Basically, I am looking for the last DIV in the BODY that's part of the flow, so I can add a bit of margin-bottom.
this is where I am at so far:
$(theBody).children('div').not('#toolbar').not(':fixed').find(':last');

$.expr[':'].fixed = function(obj, index, meta, stack){
    if ($(obj).css('position')=='fixed') {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
};

it's not working, and I think the custom selector is overthinking it.... I just dunno how to work it in there.
Thanks in advance, folks!

A: First thing you need to do is define the custom selector above the code where you use it :)
The selector I believe you want is...
$('body > div:fixed:not(#toolbar):last')

jsFiddle.
I also provided a terser custom selector...
$.expr[':'].fixed = function(obj){
   return $(obj).css('position') == 'fixed';
};


Do you think Jose would have subbed Rashford and Martial for Sanchez and Lukaku with a 2-1 lead.?
Not in a month of Sundays.
Still not in the 'give Ole the job' camp but would certainly favour giving the current management team a go, getting Phelan back on board is massive.
Early days yet before they have to make a decision Jim.
Services: V6 & TiVo stb. Phone. 200 Meg BB.
And the last United manager to win 8 on the trot was none other than Jose, a long way to go yet, Oles' not exactly going to throw his dummy out before the end of the season.
The Wombles from Wimbledon can play a bit !
Tbh the FA cup isn't been my taken seriously by some of the 'big' clubs. Maybe they should reserve a Champions League place for the winner? Maybe they'd take it more seriously then and give the hope to some of the smallest non-league clubs that they could potentially be in the Champions League next year !
West Ham have been pretty shocking though as you would get better defending from a local Sunday league side IMO.
Ole shouldn't get the job. Man United are capable of so much more. All he's done is take the muzzle off the team that Jose put on. I don't think he's a leader as such. Just a bloke that's given them the freedom to play how they want. Is it a bad thing? Definitely not. Imagine is someone else can get this out of them and then some.
Overall I'm sure he's a welcome temporary fix but there's someone out there that can improve upon this and make them formidable.
8 wins out of 8?? That's more than beginners luck, I'd hang on to him.
And the last United manager to win eight on the bounce was none other than Jose in 2017. Still far to early to give Ole the job and I am not alone in thinking that Mike Phelan has been a major factor in Uniteds revival. Who knows what could have been if Moyes hadn't stupidly got rid of Phelan as soon as he got the managers job.
Graeme Souness won 8 out of 10 and drew the other two in his first 10 at Newcastle. Newcastle went on to win 11 games in total.
And if he loses two or three in a row the fair weather supporters will be on his back straight away.
I'm not sure they will. I think they'd rather lose playing on the front foot than lose whilst piling their own box with players. As already said, they've got the players and Ole has given them the freedom to play. All they need now is a Guardiola to mould them into a formidable force.
It was definitely a case of The good, the bad and the ugly for Oldham Athletics veteran Peter Clarke yesterday. The 37 year old made a fantastic goal line clearance, then deflected the ball to give Doncaster the lead. Then he scored the equaliser but then conceded a very iffy handball decision to give away the winning penalty. And then he got sent off deep into injury time.
Newcastle cancelled a deal for Lazio's Jordan Lukaku yesterday under an excuse of failed medical. Only to then pursue the Monaco LB that Lazio had opted for to replace him.
Another easy draw for United.
Have to say the pitch at Barnet looks excellent.
Amazing how these draws play out.
United will need all of their resources with the Chelsea cup tie sandwiched between games against PSG and Liverpool.


There are sloppy definitions of rent-seeking, which quote the American Gordon Tullock as having originated the term in 1967.
However Tullock's lobbyists who seek political benefits for themselves at the expense of others may be crooks and thieves, but they're not rent-seekers in the most strict sense.
Australian economist-journalist Ross Gittens incorporated the lesser meaning earlier this year when he suggested in an article that Australia has now become a nation of rent-seekers. However, there is a more particular (and accurate) use of "rent-seeking" that has not been debauched by modern economists and legalists.
The purest form of rent-seeking is the private taking of a nation's natural resource rents that, owned by the community as a whole, ought to be captured by the community as a whole.
This may be done by using the rents for revenue (instead of arbitrary taxation), delivering a universal basic income – or a combination of both.
The failure to publicly capture land and natural resource rents is the most substantial form of theft in civil society, a fundamental breach of human rights which, leading to vast wealth disparities, is to be condemned and put right.
Don't let economists–who try to hide the extent of natural resource rents–confuse you with lesser forms of rent-seeking.

Boardwalk Bar and Grill in East Grand Forks forced to close for violating executive order
Boardwalk Bar and Grill reopened Wednesday defying Governor Tim Walz's four week closing of bars and restaurants.
EAST GRAND FORKS, Minn. – Boardwalk Bar and Grill in East Grand Forks is closed for three days after the business opened up to dine in customers defying Governor Tim Walz's Covid-19 guidelines
Boardwalk Bar and Grill reopened Wednesday defying Governor Tim Walz's four week closing of bars and restaurants.
Owner Jane Moss says in a statement in part: "What is being done is illegal and unconstitutional and I need to do what is my right for my employees and my patrons."
Governor Walz says he understands businesses' frustration.
"I understand where you're at, but you also have to understand from these folks' perspective that every time we that adds the potential for more people into the emergency room," says Governor Tim Walz.
Lawmakers and business owners are calling on Walz to start the process of safely reopening businesses.
"All of these tables add up per day and really count at the end of the month, when you're approaching the time to pay your bills," says the owner, of Mike's Pizza Sherry Aarnes.
Owner of Mike's Pizza Sherry Aarnes says the restaurant is the longest-running business in East Grand Forks, having opened in 1964.
She says through the pandemic, she felt optimistic things would get better.
But that sentiment changed a month ago.
"When I had to do a second wave of lay-offs, telling friends and family and those who I've worked at for many, many years that I can no longer keep them on," Aarnes says.
Blue Moose was supposed to be celebrating a big milestone this year.
"This is our 25th anniversary year and obviously it was a tough year to have a 25th anniversary," says Blue Moose Co-owner Patrick Boppre.
But instead they're having to decide whether they'll have to lay off more employees.
A decision Blue Moose Patrick Boppre says is never easy.
"We don't want any employee to be shut down. It's a struggle as a business owner to have to tell those employees during this time of the year that they're no longer going to be employed until we can reopen," says Boppre.
This is the second lawsuit the Attorney General's office has brought under executive order.

Our Blog Gymnastics vs. Dance - Which One is Better?
Gymnastics vs. Dance – Which One is Better?
Dancing is a part of gymnastics and many dancers love to do gymnastics, so how do you determine which is better? Both gymnastics and dance have similar elements, but many people have a favorite between the two. If you are trying to decide whether to concentrate solely on dancing or gymnastics there are many things to consider to decide which is better.
Many gymnasts will take a dance class to help with their dance moves on the floor, and dancers will take tumbling classes for the same reason. During these classes, some kids and teens will find out that their true passion lies in a different place than they first thought. On the other hand, a dancer or gymnast could take an alternative class that only fosters their passion for their favorite activity. For a gymnast or dancer to decide whether gymnastics or dance is better, they need to try both activities.
When you hear or talk to talented gymnastics, you usually find out they started the sport when they were really young. In fact, the best gymnasts start at a young age, and older, beginning gymnasts have a harder time learning difficult skills simply because of their height. Dance, on the other hand, is a talent that can be discovered at any age. Kids as old as 16 or 17 can start dance classes and excel in them quickly. Gymnastics competition seasons are very long and gymnasts usually only move up one level a year, which can make it harder for older kids to compete in gymnastics for long periods of time, or move up to the challenging competitive levels.
One of the great things about gymnastics tumbling is that it can easily be added to any dance routine. Leaps, jumps, pointed toes, and strength exercises are all things usually associated with gymnastics or dance. A choreographer can also add handstands, cartwheels, rolls, back handsprings, and other aerial tumbling passes to dance routines. However, stunts and tricks in a dance routine are not usually the primary focus of the routine. In gymnastics, the stunts and tricks are the heart of a routine and the dancing is just time filler between tumbling passes.
Dancers and gymnasts can do many of the same stunts and tricks but are trained differently. Gymnasts for one usually have a strong side. For instance, they lead with their left leg during leaps or hurdles. Dancers, on the other hand, are trained to use both legs, which can make some dance routines difficult for a gymnast. For instance, if a gymnast is in a group routine, but usually leads with her left leg, it may be difficult for her to turn to the right in a dance routine.
One of the reasons so many people like dance is because there are so many different styles to choose from. For instance, ballet is perfect for those that want a structured, controlled form of dance, and lyrical or contemporary dance focuses on emotion.
Many gymnast moms will tell you that gymnastics is expensive, but competitive dance can be just as expensive or more expensive. Depending on how many classes a dancer needs the cost can add up quickly. Most dance studios require classes to be paid for separately, and each routine requires a different costume. Depending on the design of the costume, it can easily cost upwards of $80 to $400 and that's before shoes. Gymnastics is expensive too. Most gym parents pay class fees, private lesson fees, and have to travel to competitions all over the country. Training leos can cost anywhere from $40 to $60 and competition leos can be upwards of $120, but most gymnasts only have one competition leo.
When you see a gymnast stretching across the floor, you may think they would be a great dancer! The same goes for a dancer who can nail a back handspring on a gymnasium floor. But you might be surprised to find out that while dancers and gymnasts have a great deal in common, being good in one activity doesn't guarantee you'll be great in another.
Gymnasts do a great deal more than tumble, and just because a dancer can tumble doesn't mean they would be great on the balance beam, uneven bars, or vault. Many gymnasts also struggle with dancing. The floor routine is only 1 of 4 events that a gymnasts participates in during classes, practices, and competitions. In fact, some gymnasts do as little dance as possible in their routines because they aren't strong dancers, but are amazing tumblers, but they can't get their mind around the footsteps that are required to be a strong dancer.
When it comes down to which is better – gymnastics or dancing, it's a personal decision. Whether someone loves gymnastics or dancing depends on the talent and passion of the person choosing between the two.
that did not help at all because i am a dancer and gymnast and i have to choose but i have 2 strong sides trained both ways and i know it is expensive and i know i want to do ballet and jazz styles.
I am an old gymnast but I only did it for two and a half years. But I wasn't able to get anywhere. So we switch he'd gyms but I was supposed to be on team and I didn't. So I quit and went to dance. I was always a double sided gymnast which made my coaches mad. But doing day me is way better overall. Sure it requires alot of the same stuff dance will get u somewhere gymnastics won't.
Maddy you have to strong sides which is perfect. I highly recommend dance. You won't break your back or anything for that matter as easily. It will be hard to say good bye but trust me you will be much happier.
Both dance and gymnastics is very hard on your body. When I get home from dance I normally have to use heating pads and ice. When I get back from gymnastics, I normally am just able to deal with the pain. Even though dance hurts worst, I believe dance is better because you can express yourself. All the pain is worth it.
Personally, I think both sports require much practice, blood, sweat, tears, and determination. But I do know that us dancers and gymnasts are some of THE BEST athletes of all time. Also, we can both agree that we are betta than CHEER!!!!


Based on Google's Q4 financials, Google is getting a commission of 23.8% from our Adsense advertisements. I have seen other numbers mentioned, therefore, I am including my understanding and calculations below.
In marketing the vital part of the strategy implementation is to decide what words we want to own.


Listen yo, you have got to save your egg shells. Your soil and your plants will thank you. Just like your soil and plants need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium it also may need calcium. Egg shells can help greatly with that. Saving your egg shells really is not that hard or inconvenient to do. They don't smell and it's just a behavior you make into a habit like composting. When my husband asked me to start saving them I thought, really? Now, it's just second nature and our garden thanks us. Let's get to it, shell we. Haha get it, shell we like egg shell, haha, ok no seriously let's do this.
You want to find a container to keep your egg shells stored in everyday until you have enough to make a decent bags worth. The container is going to be stored on your counter, so pick one that's decent looking. I didn't want to go buy anything so we used an old dog vitamin container and I just arts it up a little.
Now, what you want to do before you dump these little shells of gold in your container, is microwave the shells for one minute and thirty seconds. This will kill of any bacteria left on the shell. It will also kill the odor that could form. After your done microwaving them, toss them in your container until full.
Now comes the fun part. Drop a little at a time in a food processor or high powered blender. The only thing I have against the blender is that some of the shells will get pushed against the sides of the bottom of the blender and tends to burn up the blender. So I just stick to the food processor. You want to process or blend until the shells become really fine, almost powder like.
Pour into a bag and label and your done homie. How easy was that!
You can mix them into your compost.
Pour into the bottoms of the hole when planting.
You can even use it for a light mulch on top of plants.


Maldon Salt is a Favorite of Professional Chefs & Gourmets in the Know!
SKU: n/a. Categories: HERBS, SPICES & SALT, Salt.
Maldon Salt is world renowned for its fine taste and hollow pyramid-shaped salt crystals, which are fragile enough to crumble easily between the fingers. Similar to kosher salt, but made from sea water, these gourmet flakes have none of the bitter after taste that some salts leave. Treasured by chefs the world over, they provide a freshness that enhances the flavor of all natural and fine foods. The Maldon Crystal Salt Company has been manufacturers and merchants of high quality salt since 1882.
Suggestions: Try Maldon Salt on steaks like these Piedmontese Beef Tomahawk Steaks, salads, or anywhere a salty crunch is desired.
You could contend that Maldon Salt is really made by nature, with just a little helping hand from man to release it from the clutches of the environment. Certainly, the 'process,' if you can call it that, is about as natural as these things can be.
Seawater is filtered and boiled, which reassuringly, removes any impurities, and then it is heated until the salt crystallizes. If this sounds easy, there is an art in temperature and timing, and in particular, the traditional 'drawing' of the salt by hand from the pans, that confounds anyone without a salt maker's skills.
The result, for those with the know-how, is the pure, white, crisp, clean crystals that can only be Maldon Salt.

A Day and Night in Bed-Stuy
Metanoya Z. Webb
Bedford-Stuyvesant—better known as Bed-Stuy—has been an anchor in New York City's Black community for nearly a century. It's one of the most distinguished-looking neighborhoods in Brooklyn, with historic brownstones (making up one of the largest collections of Victorian architecture in the country) arrayed along tree-lined blocks. Current conditions aside, Bed-Stuy's charming shops, art galleries, restaurants and bars typically draw crowds, and should again once NYC returns to normalcy.
The area's history reflects the City's immigration patterns. In the 1800s, Stuyvesant Heights and Bedford were independent villages mostly made up of Irish, German and Scottish settlers. In the 1920s and '30s, during the Great Migration, an influx of Black families changed the villages' demographics; the towns merged, cultivating a diverse community of descendants from across the African diaspora whose cultural imprint is still prevalent in the area today.
Read on for how and where to enjoy the neighborhood's small-town vibe. But before you set out, confirm hours of operation with featured businesses. And remember that masks, hand-washing and social distancing are crucial for safe exploration.
1. Visit—and buy local from—a community garden
The Hattie Carthan Community Garden (363–365 Clifton Pl.), home to a kid-friendly garden and bountiful farmers' market, provides easy access to locally grown food for Bed-Stuy residents. The garden is open on Saturdays through November 2020 from 9am to 3pm; on Sundays from 1pm to 6pm, it runs a market nearby at 49 Van Buren St. In addition to fragrant herbs and fresh produce, the green space offers an Urban Agriculture Youth program, artisans' market and a lengthy list of ways to get involved and give back, like animal husbandry, harvesting and community outreach.

2. Check out the historic brownstones
Roughly bounded by Jefferson Avenue to the north, Fulton Street to the south, Malcolm X Boulevard to the east, and Tompkins Avenue to the west, Bed-Stuy's historic district is home to some of the most beautiful brownstones in Brooklyn. You don't have to be an architecture aficionado to admire the artfully detailed construction of these homes, built between 1870 and 1900. Classical architectural elements, such as bay windows, hand-carved friezes and ornamental stone stoops, add to their allure. Be sure to stroll down MacDonough Street; the lush block overflows with picturesque greenery. Look out too for candy-colored exteriors on Madison Street and regal rooflines along Jefferson Avenue.
3. Browse art
Richard Beavers Gallery (408 Marcus Garvey Blvd.) is devoted to fostering dialogue among emerging and mid-career artists who explore social and political issues at the forefront of the Black community. You'll find provocative pieces by Leroy Campbell, who fuses family, history and culture throughout his colorful compositions, and abstract paintings and drawings by Zwelethu Machepha, a South African artist whose work focuses on celebrating the stories of everyday people.
4. Shop at community fixtures
BLK MKT Vintage (465 Marcus Garvey Blvd.), a nostalgic brick-and-mortar store located on the corner of Marcus Garvey Boulevard and Decatur Street, carries an assortment of items—think along the lines of vintage Angela Davis campaign posters and Rio Negro Frutas crates—that honor the Black experience globally. Whether looking for retro electronics and antique furniture or classic novels and out-of-print magazines, you're bound to walk away with something special. BLK MKT Vintage is currently closed for in-store shopping; make sure to check the website to shop online (beginning September 1) and for details on when the store will reopen.
If you're in search of apparel with deep community roots, Moshood Creations (1360 Fulton St.) is a must. The brand's tribal marking shows up on T-shirts, hoodies, outerwear and face coverings. Pass through to shop or chat with Nigerian owner-designer Moshood Afariogun, who's been in business in Brooklyn for more than 25 years.

5. Eat outdoors
Known for its warm, laid-back aesthetic, Golda (504 Franklin Ave.)is a cozy eatery offering up creative pastries—get there early before they sell out—and a delicious Cali meets Middle Eastern menu. Start with the pomegranate frisée salad and follow with the fried chicken sandwich or marinated squash and lemon potato plate.
Peaches HotHouse. Photo: Craig Samuel
Peaches HotHouse (415 Tompkins Ave.) does down-home Southern cooking well. There's a limited menu of starters and main dishes now; opt for fried chicken, shrimp or catfish (sandwich versions are also available) and pair it with sides such as grits and spicy grilled broccoli. Their spacious outdoor seating is popular for brunch, so arrive early to beat the crowds.
6. Drink and dance, once it's safe again
There's plenty of nightlife in the neighborhood, though due to current health and safety restrictions, most venues are currently closed unless they are also doing outdoor dining. We hope all the following recommended places will resume operations as soon as they can: Brownstone Jazz (107 Macon St.), an intimate jam session hosted at Sankofa Aban B&B; C'mon Everybody (325 Franklin Ave.), an eclectic bar-lounge-gallery and live-arts space that recalls the art-nightlife mashup of 1970s New York City culture; Tilly's Bklyn (1223 Bedford Ave.), for their Caribbean tunes and delectable bites—both available now at their sidewalk café; and Lunàtico (486 Halsey St.), where a diverse playlist draws a global audience.

7. Spend the night in style
Situated in Stuyvesant Heights Historic District, Akwaaba Mansion (347 MacDonough St.), is one of five upscale family-owned bed-and-breakfasts from husband-and-wife duo Glenn Pogue and Monique Greenwood. The Brooklyn location recently introduced a glamping garden, a sweet outpost for socially distant stays. Other highlights include meticulously styled suites, a personal concierge and authentic Southern breakfast served daily. Read about Akwaaba's new health and safety protocols.

Nayla Yenquis Group (from Brazil)
Tickets on sale soon
Nayla Yenquis Group (from Brazil) - POSTPONED to 2022
Friday 3rd December 2021
PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT HAS TO BE POSTPONED DUE TO THE NEW UK TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS INTRODUCED on 27 Nov 2021. Nayla and her band can no longer travel to the UK to make this event. We will notify ticket holders of the new date as soon as it is confirmed.
The Hampstead Jazz Club is excited to welcome the return of this breezing Brazilian band to our British shores. When you listen to the free flowing sound of smooth samba, heavenly shift shaping vocals and percussion packing a punch, you will be transported to the effervescent sea shores and streets of Brazil.
This will be a sell-out so early booking is strongly advised!
The Nayla Yenquis Group is a delicious Latin American band playing MPB which literally stands for Popular Music of Brazil.
Arising at the same time as the eclectic, innovative Tropicália sound, MPB is a rich, poetic style that incorporates the sounds of both the Samba and Bossa Nova, mixed with elements of contemporary jazz which has also contributed to the sound.
The Nayla Yenquis Group's repertoire is a diverse eclectic mix of their own unique compositions and exciting versions of Brazilian classics interspersed with their own original songs. Their music moves beautifully between bossa, samba and partido alto whilst combining foreign influences of jazz and soul, inspired by major composers of this style which include music by Chico Buarque, Tom Jobim, Elis Regina and Gilberto Gil.
The trio will be presenting an enticing amalgam of contemporary Jazz and Brazilian song and together with the punctuating Brazilian percussion, will leave you gasping for more. Let the music do the talking, so just book your seats to this bossa/samba/jazz/soul extravaganza and experience it live at the Hampstead Jazz Club.
Nayla Yenquis – Vocals
Pierre Bauzerand – Piano
César Capote – Bass
Tim Alcorn – Drums

Premier Li Keqiang emphasized during back-to-back meetings with European leaders that multilateral cooperation is the efficient solution to trade conflicts, which was also a message China and EU jointly send to the world.
During his meeting with European Commission Vice-President Jyrki Katainen, Premier Li said China is willing to strengthen its cooperation with EU toward safeguarding multilateralism and a free trade system to promote liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, in order to further contribute to the positive progress of globalization and economic recovery.
The issue was also brought up by the Premier during his meeting with French PM Edouard Philippe. He stressed that conflicts can only be solved through dialogue and cooperation, especially against the background of rising protectionism, unilateralism and instability worldwide.
"As permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and major economies of the world, China and France should shoulder the common mission of promoting world economic recovery," Premier Li added.
Talking about the upcoming China-EU leaders' meeting, Katainen said that whether conflicts should be solved through multilateral peace talks or unilateral attacks has drawn worldwide attention.
Premier Li responded by saying that China expected to deepen bilateral dialogue and cooperation with EU and together confront global challenges, and deliver a message to the world that multilateral cooperation is the best policy for trade conflicts.
Through the China-EU economic and trade history, wisdom has been the key in resolving differences and conflicts. The two sides always searched for common ground through negotiations and understanding, Premier Li said.
The Premier then concluded that China and EU should safeguard multilateralism and free trade rules through deepening bilateral pragmatic cooperation and promoting world economic recovery and peace development.
Katainen expressed his hope that China and EU can reach more consensus and accomplish concrete achievements to show the world that cooperation is more efficient than unilateral measures.
After meeting with Katainen, Premier Li held talks with Philippe on the trade and investment issue.
"As China and France both adhere to multilateralism and support an open world economy, I believe your visit will send a strong and positive message to the world," the Premier said.
Premier Li stressed that the history of human civilization has proved that unilateralist conflicts harm civilization, while peaceful development is the megatrend.
"We should work together to safeguard multilateralism, promote peace, development and resolve contradictions through negotiations," the Premier added.
Philippe said some of the current unilateral measures and trade war are great threats to the common prosperity of all countries.
"France and China should join hands to safeguard the multilateral system and tackle uncertainties, which involves both the present and our common future," he said.
"As for the rules, if they need to be modified to suit changing situations, multilateral principles should be followed as well," he added.
"I absolutely agree with what Premier Li said," Philippe said.
The Premier mentioned that point again while meeting with Katainen, saying that the basic rules of WTO should be upheld, but that it is not impossible to adjust them with the development of globalization and the emergence of new situations.
"China is willing to coordinate with Europe to enable WTO to not only protect trade freedom, but also adapt to changing situations," he said.
"The reform of WTO is significant. The European side hopes to make joint efforts with China in this regard," Katainen said.

Bi-Centenary Celebration of Trinity Lodge 254
It Nearly Did Not Happen!
The independence of Trinity Lodge from higher authority was exemplified by events surrounding the celebration of the Bi-Centenary held at the Matrix Hall, Coventry.
The application for the official recognition of 3rd December, 1755 as the date of the foundation of Trinity Lodge having been obtained from the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, steps were immediately taken to arrange a suitable celebration in 1955.
The Bi-Centenary celebration was to be held on 5th December 1955 at the Matrix Hall, Fletchamstead Highway Canley, Coventry, by kind permission of the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, Worshipful Brother Sir Stanley J. Harley who was the Managing Director of The Coventry Gauge and Tool Co. Ltd., the owners of this Hall which was adjacent to their main works.
In recognition of the Bi-Centenary, Trinity Lodge was honoured to install as Master, The Very Reverend H. G. Michael Clarke, M.A. Provincial Grand Master.
To add further 'icing to the cake' Trinity Lodge were to be further honoured by the presence of The Most Worshipful The Grand Master, M.W. Bro. The Rt. Hon. Earl of Scarbrough K.G., together with a very eminent retinue.
When The Grand Master arrived with his retinue on the morning of the event, a discussion took place regarding the proceedings. The Deputy Grand Director of Ceremonies said that the Grand Master expected to open the Lodge (this is accepted practice for a senior dignitary and in most lodges this would be accepted and welcomed). The Past Masters of Trinity spearheaded by the assertive and determined W. Bro. Dennis Brandish (who was both the Trinity Director of Ceremonies and Acting Provincial Assistant Director of Ceremonies) insisted that he could not do so, since by tradition only a Brother who had been installed as a Master of Trinity Lodge could sit in the Trinity Chair and that only the Master at that time or a Past Master acting as Master could carry out the duties of The Lodge. This instance provoked quite an argument and the Past Masters of Trinity maintained that if the Grand Master were to persist with his demand they would cancel the ceremony!
This was indeed serious, and for a time a 'stand off' ensued. All of Trinity Lodge and The Earl of Scarbrough and his esteemed retinue awaited the outcome as discussions continued at W. Bro. Dennis Brandish's house on The Kenilworth Road, Coventry, until mid afternoon. After further lengthy discussion a compromise was reached. The Grand Master would be presented with the Gavel (this is an offer to open The Lodge) on entering The Lodge, only on the condition that he would refuse it!!
Such was the strong feeling about the discipline and traditions of TRINITY LODGE No. 254 around this period of history. Great pride was taken in its ancient unique ritual and the manner in which its ceremonies were to be conducted.
The Bi-Centenary Celebration meeting took place as planned and The Most Worshipful The Grand Master, M.W. Bro. The Rt. Hon. Earl of Scarbrough K.G. presented Trinity Lodge with its Bi-Centenary Warrant.
Despite all that had happened in the afternoon, the Celebration was a resounding success, but following the celebrations the drama continued when the Grand Master was driven to Coventry Station to collect his train back to London, only to watch it steaming away from the platform just as he arrived.
An urgent phone call, however, from the local stationmaster to his Rugby counterpart saved the day by ensuring that the locomotive was detained there for a substantial period, which enabled the distinguished guest, after a frantic car dash from Coventry, to take up his allotted place; and brought considerable relief to the escorting Coventry Brethren.
The 'twist in the tale' is that the chauffeur from Coventry was none other than W. Bro. Dennis Brandish who apparently displayed all his renowned motorcycle racing skills during the car journey, but it is not recorded that the Grand Master enjoyed the journey.

if you successfully run a library with the Due board, please post here a link to the library and a brief description.
I'll update this post regularly to get a list of available libraries for the Due.
First release of the RTC Library for the Arduino Due.
I would call it final for the moment.
I hope the library is self explaining.
Update Version 1.2 now support for Date & Time in one operation for BKM.
Update Version 1.4 now support for geman timezone with Summertime.
Eigen is a C++ library enabling Matlab and Octave-like matrix programming. Eigen works very well with the Arduino Due. As a Matlab user that appreciates minimalism, the Eigen library is written as plain header files. So no makefiles, no binary files, nothing to compile upfront, no headaches.
-> Download attached ZIP file called "Eigen313.zip"
-> Run virus scanner, just in case.
-> Normally open Arduino-IDE as usual.
-> Run example code below demonstrating the Kalman gain equation using 6x6 matrices. Notice the clean and concise prose enabling programmer to "see" Kalman equations.
-> Also notice the ease in inputting matrices.
-> I wrote a function called print_mtxf to serially print matrices; it's included in the example below.
#include <LU> // Calls inverse, determinant, LU decomp., etc.
My gLCD-Library for Nokia 6100 Displays fully supports the arduino due. This means that the Sparkfun Color LCD Sheild is compatible with the Due.
The VGA library lets you connect your Due to a monitor with an analog VGA input. Modes supported include 640x480 and 800x600 in monochrome and 320x240 in colour. Simple drawing functions for pixels, lines, triangles, rectangles, circles and ellipses are included. Full support for Arduino-style print and println functions too.
Schematic is extremely simple - just 3 resistors for monochrome and 10 resistors for colour.
Arduino rocks but a Arduno bot can roll!
I am using the Eigen library and want to run it in the arduino due I have posted some of my codeblocks c++ code for my windows machine.
Library for WS2803 LED driver chips.
The graphics LCD (ST7565, UC1701, KS0108, ...) and OLED (SSD1306, ...) library "U8glib" includes support for Arduino Due.
Changes are to remove PSTR and PROGMEM use and to change to hardware serial instead of softserial.
There may still be issues with this as not fully tested in all situations, but basic client and server actions seem to work.
Full credit to the original authors, Harlequin-tech for their library.


The San Antonio International Airport had some excitement on Monday after a monkey managed to escape from his crate in a baggage area.
Dawkins the monkey, originally from Chicago, was making his way to an animal sanctuary in San Antonio. However, he clearly had other plans. In the baggage area where animals are checked in and out, Dawkins managed to unlock his crate and escape, sending authorities on a wild goose chase.
Thankfully, the San Antonio Zoo was called in. Their crew was able to snag Dawkins safely with the help of a tranquilizer dart.

Mobe | Matthew's story: "A gold nugget every day."
Matthew's story: "A gold nugget every day."
Matthew was in a lot of pain after an accident crushed his spinal cord and limited the mobility of his left arm and leg. For a man who was raised to work and play hard, it was a devastating blow both physically and emotionally. Looking back on that time, he wishes he had known about MOBE.
Seeing the big picture.
I didn't know how to talk to people about what was going on with me, so I kept it all bottled up inside. Once I started talking to Stephanie, my MOBE Guide, a huge weight was lifted because I wasn't trying to carry the load all myself."
It's not easy to be in pain, let alone find someone who really wants to listen and understand. And yet that's what Matthew found when he decided to make that first call to MOBE. His friends and family didn't always understand what was going on with him, but Stephanie did. She also helped him see the big picture: not just the medical aspects of his pain, but how his choices affected the way he felt from day to day.
In the beginning, they had regular phone appointments twice a week. Since Matthew often went to bed at night with his mind racing about doctor appointments and medications, Stephanie suggested a new habit that might help: keeping a pen and paper by the bed and making a list of everything on his mind before lying down to go to sleep. He started doing it.
That little action - taking the time to put my thoughts on paper, has really helped calm my mind at night."
Finding the gold nuggets.
Matthew knows it's going to take some time to feel better, to feel like his old self again.
I can't just get up and go for a hike like I used to, but working with MOBE has taught me to set simple goals."
"I aim for something small, like taking a walk around the house or helping with meals. Stephanie and I call these 'little gold nuggets', because every day I try to achieve one little thing instead of doing it all."
Those little gold nuggets give Matthew the confidence to keep going. He knows if he can push forward just an inch today, then maybe he can go two inches tomorrow. He knows if he's having a bad day or a rough time, he's got Stephanie to give him the support he needs and keep him on track to feeling better.
"When your body hurts so bad and you don't feel like doing anything, it's easy to do nothing," he admits. With MOBE, he feels like he's finally gaining ground. That means he feels more comfortable talking to doctors about his pain. He's setting small goals to increase his activity during the day. And he knows even though his recovery won't be quick and easy, he's got MOBE and Stephanie with him every step of the way.
Watch Matthew's video story. >
It's important to pay attention to how you're feeling on your medication. Learn more about side effects and medication in this short video.
Michael's story: How a near-death experience created empathy and appreciation
At the time, Michael had only been working at MOBE for a year; it was his first job out of college. Little did he know his life would take a turn—on Christmas Day nonetheless—with a near-death accident. The tragedy and his recovery would give Michael valuable insight into not only his own life, but life and struggles in general. And it would make him love his work and workplace even more. Read Michael's account of his story.
"MOBE pulls everything together" – Sue's story in her own words.
MOBE helps people struggling with the ups, downs and confusion of health issues. We had the privilege of hearing from one of our participants at a recent MOBE event. Sue shared her story and her search for answers and relief.
Healing from the inside out: Beth's story
Beth shared how MOBE taught her a new way to think about healing and inspired her to share that lesson with others.
Raine's story
When Raine made that first call to Elle, her MOBE Guide, she heard something she'd never heard before: "It's gonna be just you and me," Elle told her."
Rich's story: a different kind of success.
With the help of his MOBE Guide, Rich was empowered to research his medications and have a discussion with his doctors about why he was taking them.
