The paper discusses how Augusta Savage, one of the artists of the Harlem Renaissance, helped lay the groundwork for feminism and racial equality. The paper looks at the sculptures of her early years and describes the obstacles Savage met because of her race, poverty, and correspondingly low social status. The paper then discusses her talent depicting African-Americans in sculptural busts and relates that Savage's later successes allowed her to become a leader in the Harlem community.
"The Harlem Renaissance represented the ideological start of the civil rights movement. A surge of productivity in intellectual, political, and artistic spheres, the Harlem Renaissance stimulated interest in African-American culture and in some ways helped to create that culture. The figures that emerged during the Harlem Renaissance contributed greatly to the canon of human thought on race relations. However, Harlem Renaissance artists were not necessarily preoccupied with race even though their creative media enabled political discourse."

North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame
© 2009 North Dakota Tourism/Brian PayneItems that made the Great Plains unique during the settlement period are on display at the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame.
250 Main St., Medora, North Dakota
Cowboys, Native Americans, horses, cattle drives, ranching, and rodeos are the subjects celebrated at the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame in Medora, at the gateway to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Exhibits focus on Western cultural history, and a 5,000-square-foot patio gives visitors views of the Little Missouri River and the Badlands.
The small town of Medora, mostly reconstructed in Old West style, is full of history. Founded in 1883 by the Marquis de Mores, a wealthy French nobleman and entrepreneur, Medora was intended to be a meatpacking and shipping center. That venture failed, but the town had already attracted young Teddy Roosevelt, who came to hunt buffalo and fell in love with the land and the lifestyle. Roosevelt acquired two cattle ranches outside Medora and later called his Badlands experiences "the romance of my life." Roosevelt, by the way, was the first "Great Westerner" inducted into the North Dakota Hall of Fame.
Open daily May – Sept.; Oct. – Apr. by appointment only. Admission charged.

Q: How to change the background colour of a collapsed navbar when it drops down? This is my first time using Stackoverflow so I hope I've done a good job explaining my problem:
I would like to change the background color of my navbar to white as it collapses down. i.e. when on a smaller screen, a button appears that allows you to press the action button in which shows you the content of the navbar. At the moment, my navbar background color is transparent and this theme follows after the navbar has been collapsed.
FYI - I am using bootstrap as you can see from my code below. The JS section is to add the solid class on to my navbar as you scroll down the page, however this is irrelevant to my collapsing problem.
I just can't seem to find the right class to edit in order to change the drop-down list background-color.
Here is my HTML (I apologise for the multiple lorem ipsum lines):

$(document).ready(function() {
 // Transition effect for navbar
 $(window).scroll(function() {
  // checks if window is scrolled more than 500px, adds/removes solid class
  if ($(this).scrollTop() > 300) {
   $('.navbar').addClass('solid'),
    $('.navbar-brand').addClass('solid'),
    $('.navbar-dark .navbar-nav .nav-link').addClass('solid');
  } else {
   $('.navbar').removeClass('solid'),
    $('.navbar-brand').removeClass('solid'),
    $('.navbar-dark .navbar-nav .nav-link').removeClass('solid');
  }
 });

I expect the background color of my navbar drop-down list to be white when clicked on the open button.

A: Plz try this code in css..
css
@media only screen and (max-width: 575px) {
   #navbarMenu {
     background-color: #fff;
   }
   #navbarMenu a {
    color: #000 !important;
    padding: 7px 15px;
   }
.navbar-dark.solid .navbar-toggler span {
    background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg viewBox='0 0 30 30' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%3e%3cpath stroke='rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)' stroke-width='2' stroke-linecap='round' stroke-miterlimit='10' d='M4 7h22M4 15h22M4 23h22'/%3e%3c/svg%3e");
}
.navbar-dark.solid .navbar-toggler {
    border-color: #000;
}

}

A: You can use @media to control de screen width
and use mix-blend-mode for the button for simply change the colour depending on background colour. (mix-blend-mode in IE not supported)
CSS:
@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  #navbarMenu {
    background-color: #fff;
  }
  #navbarMenu a {
    color: #000 !important;
    padding: 7px 15px;
  }
  .navbar-dark.solid .navbar-toggler span {
    mix-blend-mode: difference;
  }
  .navbar-dark.solid .navbar-toggler {
    border-color: #000;
  }
}

$(document).ready(function() {
  // Transition effect for navbar
  $(window).scroll(function() {
    // checks if window is scrolled more than 500px, adds/removes solid class
    if ($(this).scrollTop() > 300) {
      $('.navbar').addClass('solid'),
        $('.navbar-brand').addClass('solid'),
        $('.navbar-dark .navbar-nav .nav-link').addClass('solid');

As The Lynn Tait Gallery closes, 'the other Essex Girl' carries on
By Michelle Board
Christmas Eve will be the last trading day for The Lynn Tait Gallery in Old Leigh, with the family having taken the tough decision to shut the doors on the shop that was founded by its namesake who died in June, 30 years previous. Meanwhile, one of the many links to Lynn lives on not far away.
Grace's shop Artisan in Rochford, Essex.
Grace Turner worked at The Lynn Tait Gallery as a 'Saturday girl', 13 years ago. There, Grace became inspired by Lynn to get into cards and now runs a successful Henries-winning card company, GracieGirl Designs, making handmade cards as well as running her own shop, Artisan, in Rochford, Essex with her mum, Sallyann.
Here, seeing her business very much as a Lynn legacy, Gracie tells her tale…
"Hearing the news this will be the last Christmas for The Lynn Tait Gallery in Old Leigh (with shop closing its doors on Christmas Eve in its current guise), made me feel privileged to have worked at Lynn's award winning shop as my very first weekend job. At the time I was interested in fashion and concentrating on my textile homework to be able to go to The London College of Fashion University, card designs didn't feature in my world.
I admired Lynn's business plan of trade sales and shop premises. I was too young to realise what was involved, but where I am now mirrors Lynn's career, and if I can be half as successful, it would be such an achievement.
Some of Grace's card designs.
So rewind to 2013 where GracieGirl Designs began. The origami aspect came to life after my now-husband Chris folded a napkin into a dress one evening and I thought to myself 'that would look great on a card'. Now there are over 350 designs in the Origami range and I hate to think how many pieces of paper have been folded but the designs do create beautiful handmade cards. The team is: myself I do all the graphic layouts and think up the designs; my mum Sallyann who I've named 'macca pacca' because she helps glue and pack, and Chris still helps me fold all spare hours we have. We got married in April, so he must enjoy it! I'm very blessed to have family support!
Chris and I attended The Ladder Club days in Southend, we picked up a lot of tips for the business which kept us on the right path moving forward.
In May 2014 I took the plunge and showcased at PG Live, it was a successful show winning two Silver Tickets and 32 shop orders with leads for others. The supermarkets and overseas clients loved the designs, it was a matter of could we supply them with the larger quantities. We discussed the pros and cons and decided to keep the GracieGirl brand as a 'specialist small' publishers rather than mainstream for the handmade identity to be true.
Grace Turner (middle) with her husband Chris and mum Sallyann at the 2014 Henries where GracieGirl won the award for Best Handmade or Hand-Finished.
I'm so pleased we did as in October 2014 GracieGirl Designs won The Henries Award in the Best Handmade or Hand-Finished category. I was completely overwhelmed. To think I was among finalists who included Janie Wilson, The Art File, Wendy Jones-Blackett and Five Dollar Shake – My dream to win seemed extremely slim, but we did it!
Chris took me to Edinburgh to visit a shop who ordered from us at the show called Paper Tiger, where the Valentine's cards were on display. It was a very humbling day.
Grace at Paper Tiger in Edinburgh – one of her first stockists.
After the win
Winning The Henries award gave me the confidence to think 'what's next!' After the win Lynn emailed and asked me to visit the Gallery for a catch up chat where she placed an order, asked for a personalised new school card for Jack her grandson and gave me some valuable advice. It was a brilliant afternoon. I came away from there and started looking for commercial units. I felt a buzz about owning a shop where I could still sell to trade stores but offer a personalised side to the business to my own customers.
Finding a unit
It proved very difficult to find the right shop unit but in July 2015 a little Grade II listed nail boutique was closing its doors in Rochford, Essex. I just knew that was 'The One!' I rang mum and she came to look around with me we both left feeling optimistic and within two weeks I had the keys. It was so exciting/nerve wracking/stressful – but still felt right.
So again my supportive family and friends helped transform the boutique in a two week turnaround and we opened the doors of Artisan on Monday 3 August 2015. My dream became a reality that day and I'm so proud of the little shop!
Paper flowers form part of the bespoke wedding service offered by GracieGirl.
It is mum and I who work in the shop offering cards and gifts with personalisation for every occasion in life. Two years on we have worked with 42 couples for their wedding day, which I find unbelievable as I didn't think wedding stationery would be one of the areas we would cover. In all honesty The Henries win gave me the confidence to go for it.
Customers are always commenting on how unique the products in the shop are, they love the feel of the shop and walk away with a spring in their step. We love that our cards and gifts bring so much joy to individuals for special occasions.
Each day is different you have your highs and lows, good days and bad. The first year of opening Artisan was an anxious time, not knowing if it will work is the worst feeling! We have extremely busy days and quiet ones. It would be nice to see a set pattern, we still can't call it. Rochford is a small village with businesses coming and going, people do say 'you would be better in Leigh, Rayleigh, Brighton' and yes, we can't argue with the reasoning or say we haven't thought the same, but somehow it is working, going from strength to strength by recommendations and word of mouth.
I would like to employ someone for Saturdays and at busy periods, I feel this is an area where small businesses suffer due to the extra costs involved.
The business has found its feet now in its third year, I had to concentrate on getting it all sorted and that put a stop to the trade designs. I've designed a new range for spring seasons 2018 and the Valentine's range has been supported already with orders coming in still, which is great and a big boost to moral.
For now we shall continue doing what we are doing and see where this exciting journey takes us. And as the lovely Lynn said, I will continue to fly the flag for us Essex Girls and I hope I'm doing her proud!"

Amazing acting makes 'Hunchback of Notre Dame' a hit for Town and Country Players
©Jessica Briggs Photography 2018
By John Dwyer
My hands were sore from clapping and my voice was raspy from cheering after seeing "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" at Town and Country Players in Buckingham.
I was bowled over by the performances, which I will go into further, and by director John Neuman's utilization of the stage. Not only did he magically re-create Notre Dame and the streets of Paris in the limited space available to him, but he also moved a large cast through that space with a sure hand.
All the elements of this show came together so well that time whisked by during the two-and-a-half-hour performance. Of course, who would ever want to leave the streets of Paris and this group of charming performers, regardless of the tragedy that gets told?
The show has music by Alan Mencken ("Beauty and the Beast," "Little Mermaid," "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Sister Act"), and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz ("Godspell,""Pippin" and "Wicked"). The show was commissioned by Walt Disney.
The focus of the story is much changed in the current musical adaptation. The original book had large portions describing the setting, i.e. the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Author Victor Hugo was writing this tale, in large part, to celebrate its Gothic architecture and to preserve the building intact in the face of those who wanted to "improve" it and make it more contemporary. He was appalled by the removal of stained glass windows so more light could come in through white glass.
His several story lines are reminiscent of "Les Miserables," which was published 30 years after "Hunchback." The tale has been altered to accommodate the musical but what is left is like "Les Mis" — the rigid, conflicted moralist (Archdeacon Frollo in "Hunchback" and Javert in "Les Mis") against the struggling, downtrodden, but ultimately triumphant decent man (Quasimodo in "Hunchback" and Jean Valjean in "Les Mis").
The story is about how Archbishop Claudio Frollo took in his brother Jehan's infant, who was born with a hideous deformity, after his brother's death. Frollo hid him away in the Cathedral of Notre Dame and he became the bell ringer. Frollo had given him the name "Quasimodo" which is Latin for "like a baby" but also, in the same context, means "almost human." Due to how he would be treated by people for his appearance, Frollo kept him inside the cathedral. His only friends are the stone gargoyles and statues that he talks to and who, in his mind and along with the audience, talk back to him.
When given an opportunity to walk about Paris during the Feast of Fools, where the ugly and deformed are cruelly celebrated, Quasimodo goes out into the streets and gets crowned, due to his disfigurement, the "King of Fools." During the celebration, he gets abused by the throng and is rescued by the beautiful gypsy Esmerelda. What ensues is a love quadrangle between Esmerelda, Quasimodo, Archdeacon Frollo (who is tormented by the lust he feels) and a guard sent to arrest her, Captain Phoebus de Martin. An ongoing theme in the play is how the gypsy immigrants are viewed as undesirables, which makes Frollo's attraction to Esmerelda inexplicable and damnable according to his values.
What could be more timely and more in need of heeding than this tale? Though this show was, no doubt, chosen for this time slot a year ago, there is a need to hear about kindness toward the other in a year where culture and politics, in some quarters, inhumanely demonize those who are different.
On their website, Town and Country Players describe themselves as "the home of many dedicated individuals whose goal is to bring the theatrical experience to local residents while personally enjoying the effort to the fullest."
All of that is true, and this cast especially seems to be enjoying the effort to the fullest. But they are being modest. For the price of a $20 ticket, "Hunchback" delivers a professional show whose lead actors are as good as any Equity actors.
Remember the name Brady Love. He plays Quasimodo. He is a young actor who seems born to play this role. His acting has nuance and his singing is thrilling. That he made my mind wander to the thought that Josh Groban started out in musical theater should say enough. His soulful solos in "Out There" and "Heaven's Light" will send goosebumps up your arm. He holds a note so long in "Heaven's Light" while running across stage that it seems impossible. I was breathless waiting for him to stop. He has abilities that can take him far.
His nemesis is his guardian, Archdeacon Frollo, played by Michael Schiumo. Besides the excellent singing voice that is needed to take on this role, what is more needed is an incredible actor who can make us identify with the moral ambiguity Frollo experiences. He definitely has a light and a dark side, and Schiumo is able to make this man a full-bodied individual. Torn between opposing thoughts of power and right, this is a character for the ages. There are many men and women in today's world who are like him, and Shiumo's s multilevel playing of this man creates a recognizable and believable character.
Jenny McNiven as Esmerelda and Lee Damon as Captain Phoebus de Martin have gorgeous voices and their duet of "Someday" is a highlight of the show. Melissa Mongi provides a needed humorous touch as Clopin, the gypsy leader and leads the gypsies in rousing song in "Topsy Turvy" and "Court of Miracles."
A shout out also to Adam Zucal, who had multiple roles and was chameleon-like with them, but was especially effective as Frollo's brother Jehan.
This is not an easy show for a production team. Kudos to Barb Ench (scenic designer), Mindy Rubinlicht (musical director), David Sharper (set designer), Matthew Schultheis (stage manager), Ann Cole (costume designer), Dustin Karrat (fight director), Dana Joy Carducci (choreographer) and Scott Monsees ( lighting/sound designer/technical director/special effects).
After seeing this show, I called friends despite the late hour because I was so excited for them to see this show. They tried to purchase tickets online, and were unable to reserve the times they wanted — the show is selling out. But do try to grab a ticket– it is so well worth it.
"Hunchback" continues only though Saturday at Town and Country Players, 4158 Old York Road, in Buckingham. Tickets can be purchased online, or call (800) 838-3006.

Well, Brady Love, you've risen to the top! I saw/heard you as Javier In Les Miz when you had just turned 18 and I was blown away. You won a city-wide award in Washington DC for that. And look at you now 4 years later! Your physical delivery of this challenging part was both wonderful and painful to watch. And your voice — so moving! Definitely worth the three hour trip. Hugs from your "forever fan."
Another "timely" review. Closes this Saturday. No time to make any plans to see it.

This old house had a lot of damage and repairs that needed immediate attention. At the top of the list was the kitchen chimney. I recall as a young girl my great-grandmother cooking on a wood burning stove. I have vague memories of her standing by the cast iron stove and picking up the lids and moving them with a black iron holder thingy that nestled into the grooves on the lids. I've never seen one being used since then but I'm guessing she would move the pots from "eye to eye" depending on the intensity of heat or fire she needed.
Water damage from the chimney had caused severe damage to the kitchen floor and exterior siding. The company I hired for the job replaced the rotten exterior boards but they didn't replace the bowed boards. I knew eventually I'd replace it with vinyl siding, but for now the worst damage had been repaired, time to move on to the clean up.
I looked at the cinder blocks for several weeks before I even attempted the clean up. These blocks were twice as heavy as regular cinder blocks so it really was a back breaking experience. I was very happy when this clean up was over and it was time to move on to the next project! Even though my old house was still pretty ugly, she now had a new roof and the trouble spots for water leaks had been fixed...she was actually looking pretty good and I was elated with the progress.

Wrestling Observer Flashback–08.15.94 – Scotts Blog of Doom!
– In the top story, it's back to Orlando for the Disney tapings, and…not much happened. There appears to be a new policy in place where the Disney tapings are only for filling time on Worldwide and all the major stuff now happens exclusively on WCW Saturday Night, which makes sense because it's only shot a few weeks at a time.
– Honky Tonk Man also debuted and got over to a level that WCW considered to be big. Of course, when the crowd is told who to cheer, it's hard to judge. He'll be feuding with Johnny B. Badd.
– The triangle match at the Fall Brawl PPV will now be Sting / Vader / Guardian Angel instead of the previously announced Sting / Vader / Flair.
– Also, Harlem Heat is getting a big push, although they had been talking about debuting a new manager with references to a cellular phone, and that never transpired and in fact just appears to be more inside humor by ribbing Paul Heyman.
– Also debuting and getting a huge push as a killer bodyguard: Meng.
– To Smoky Mountain, which set their all time record for attendance and gate with "Night of the Legends", drawing 5000 people paying $40,000 in Knoxville. (And that proved to be the peak of the promotion as well, setting up a rapid decline and death relatively soon afterwards.) It was said to be a tremendous live show.
– Also, Cornette has started reneging on stips already, like advertising a hair v. hair stip in a match between the Rock N Rolls and Lee/Candido, with Tammy putting her hair on the line against Ricky's, and no one actually getting shaved bald at the end of the show.
– Dave gave the Thrillseekers v. Heavenly Bodies match where Jericho bled all over the ring ***1/2, by the way.
– Anyway, back to Cornette's ongoing promotional problems, namely ignoring big stips in his matches. In this case, Morton was pinned by Chris Candido in the match in Johnson City where he would have his head shaved if he lost, but it was due to interference from the Gangstas. So, Cornette's philosophy goes, since the babyface was screwed and the fans don't really want to see the babyface get humiliated, it's OK to screw the fans and not adhere to the stips. In this case, Ricky begged and pleaded with the fans not to allow the haircut to happen, and then attacked Lee & Candido before they could cut his hair, before brawling with them back to the dressing room. This was actually booed out of the building by the crowd, who had paid to see someone get a haircut, and Cornette freaked out about the reaction backstage, thinking he had killed the town.
– Masa Chono won his third G-1 tournament, beating Power Warrior in the finals on 8/7 with an STF at Sumo Hall. Most of the gambling money was on either Riki Choshu or Fujinami, as BIZARRE as it sounds to actually bet on a pro wrestling match!
– Down to Memphis, where Sid Vicious has actually been a draw on this run, boosting the weekly house to 1700 people three weeks in a row. The main event of this week's show was actually Doug Gilbert beating Brian Christopher, but Sid's appearances on each of the shows clearly is the draw.
– Chris Benoit and Al Snow reportedly had a ****3/4 match in Snow's hometown of Lima, OH on 8/7, although they only drew 75 fans.
– ECW will be debuting on the Sunshine Network in Florida soon, and they've got some other cable sports network deals in the works.
– GWF continues to shamble on as a zombie promotion, with a construction company owner now taking over as money mark and Michael Hayes doing the booking. He's instituted a "no drinking" policy in the locker room. The wrestlers are a tad spicy about that rule, especially considering who is preaching it.
– Hulk Hogan was asked to do the job to Ric Flair for the 8/24 Clash main event, but he refused. Dave is SHOCKED.
– Ric Flair did interviews on TV building up the Clash where he promised the "Ultimate surprise" to help him against Hogan, and you know where that talk has led to.
– So in this week's "inside reference translated into English" feature, Dave talks about Bobby Heenan complaining about "bald headed guys tape recording everything". This was actually a shot at Howard Finkel, because the Fink didn't attend Joey Marella's funeral and WWF hasn't even acknowledged his death yet. The specific comment refers to Finkel's job of taping all the WCW hotline segments and playing them back for Vince.
– Ric Flair is telling people that he's not retiring now, but when he does retire, it'll be a real retirement and he won't do any comeback matches.
– Jeff Jarrett v. 1-2-3 Kid was supposed to be at Summerslam, but Kid is injured again and so Mabel will be taking his place. (That's…quite the substitution.) Also, Walter Payton will be in Razor Ramon's corner against Diesel, so look for a title change there.
– Bob Backlund is taking his heel turn so seriously that he will no longer talk to fans or sign autographs. Dave thinks this is all coming 10 years too late.
– Despite all rumors to the contrary, including those spread by Dave himself, Chris Benoit has not talked to anyone in the WWF.
– Steve Lombardi has switched his gimmick to Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz on the B shows, playing off the baseball strike.
– And finally, remember that episode of All-Star Wrestling I did with "Rookie of the Year" Steve Travis who no one had ever about before? He actually writes in here!
I'm about halfway through with your 7/18 newsletter and was fascinated by it. It brought back many memories for me of the Zahorian saga. Here's another chapter for you. In 1984, I was involved in a terrible auto accident in which I incurred a spinal cord injury. I now struggle to walk with two canes. I was convicted of vehicular homicide because another man was killed. I had passed out at the wheel while under the influence of Placadyl, a drug I had gotten from Dr. Zahorian. After six months of hospitalization, I did nine months in the big house. It was a terrible place.
My ex-partner, Quick Draw Rick McGraw overdosed on the same drug. It was one of his favorites. I guess you know what happened to him. He was a good kid and we had many good times together.
I was named rookie of the year in the WWWF when Vince Sr. was around. He was a prince of a guy. His son is a scumbag in my book. I was coming into the WWWF as Stevie Valiant to join Johnny because Jimmy was on the outs with Vince Sr. We were going to get the straps. So after dying my hair and buying $500 worth of fancy Stevie Valiant gear, a week before I report, Vince Sr. called me to say he made up with Jimmy and he wanted me in as a babyface instead. My big chance was down the tubes. But Vince Sr. kept me in the middle and paid me $1,500 a week as Steve Travis and never beat me on television.
I was the one who introduced Bill Dunn to Dr. Zahorian. We went to high school together in Charlottesville, VA although he was older than I was. "Coach," as we called Dunn, was a real piece of work. I could give you chapters about him. But he was a real piece of s— for turning in Zahorian. I feel badly about that. Dunn has now become a born-again Christian to appease his conscience I guess.
– I'm always fascinated to learn stuff like that.

How and when we use the restroom can have a big effect on our bodies and our incontinence. The way we position ourselves, how much and when we drink can make a big difference. See below for some tips to incorporate.
Did you know that our ancestors typically used a squatting position when eliminating? The squatting position is the most natural position to void, as it relaxes the pelvic floor, allowing for easier and more effective elimination. Yet, due to the modern advances of toilets, it is more common for people to sit vs. to squat. There is a simple solution, however. By utilizing a small foot stool when you use the restroom, you can position yourself in a "squatting" position, making it easier for you to eliminate. See www.squattypotty.com for stools specifically designed for this purpose (but know that any small foot stool will work).
Schedule Bathroom Visits. Once you've determined how frequently you use the bathroom, you add 15 minutes to that time. Let's say you go to the bathroom ever hour. During retraining, you will aim to go every hour and fifteen minutes. Even if you don't have to go, you still want to make the trip to the bathroom. This trains the brain and body. After a set number of days, gradually increase the amount of time between bathroom breaks.
Delay Urination. Easier said than done. But when you feel the need to go, try holding off for at least 5 minutes. Then 10. And so on until you can make it 3-4 hours between urination. The key will be to stay on schedule, which keeps the training on track.
The idea of bowel retraining is to stimulate bowel movements so that your body begins to establish a more regular voiding pattern. Most people who initiate bowel retraining begin to see more regular patterns within a few weeks.


How Does a Toilet Fill Valve Work?
The toilet fill valve controls the water level in toilet tanks. Water stored in the tank empties into the bowl when the lever is activated, flushing waste into the sewer. After the tank drains, the toilet fill valve automatically refills the tank.
Located in the tank on the left-hand side, the toilet fill valve apparatus resembles a circular tower with the valve located on top of the tower. Water flows from the valve to replenish the tank. This is controlled by the float ball, which attaches to the fill valve by a metal rod. The float ball rises as the water level rises, forcing the rod into the fill valve. When the rod contacts the switch, the valve shuts off. When the float ball lowers even a little bit, the rod loses contact with the switch and the valve opens and starts filling the tank.
Water level, and therefore flushing power, can be adjusted by bending the metal float ball rod up or down. Higher water levels mean greater flushing power, but also larger water usage. Lower water levels translate to less flushing power and less water usage.
How Does a Toilet Flapper Work?
A professional handyman shows how to replace your toilet fill valve in this free online home improvement and DIY home repair video.


This beautifully detailed green maple leaf is a striking accent to any decor and it has a dual purpose. It can be used as a personal size tea bag holder or to hold teaspoons. This maple leaf can help keep counters clean, it is also a nice complement to a favorite teapot or coffee pot or just to admire. It can also be used on a desk as a catch all. This maple leaf is simply gorgeous in detail and color, when other colors are added it makes a stunning collection. This leaf is available in an assortment of colors, it also stacks neatly which is great for confined areas.
This maple leaf is made of kiln fired domestic clay. I chose a glossy art glaze for this piece because of the detail. Art glazes are a single color glaze and when kiln fired create dual coloring, smooth surfaces are slightly lighter and more lustrous, detailed areas are enhanced. It is dishwasher safe, food safe. Please keep in mind each one is hand made and the one you receive may vary slightly from the one in the photo, no two are alike.
Well, I love these little leaves. I liked my first one so much I decided to buy two more of them. I use them as tea drip-dishes, a spoon rest, and even dedicated one to the laundry room, to put the soap measuring cup on between loads.
So gorgeous. I am using it to rest tea bags in between steeps, but one could easily use it as a rest for a large soup spoon (I know the description said teaspoon, but really - this is pretty versatile. Obviously not ladle-sized, though). The color is nice, and the glaze is very high gloss (which I hadn't quite gotten from the photos). The detail in the leaf is absolutely beautiful. The veins are so artistically done! I'm actually thinking I need to keep an eye on this shop for a slightly larger version I can use for cooking spoons. My new leaf needs a buddy.
so pretty, wonderfully detailed! packaged well and arrived safely.


I remember the time when we posted our entry on the Kikay Camels, we got a lot of queries where we bought them. For a time, there was a bazaar in our workplace that sells them but it was gone after a month so we didn't know where to direct readers. I've been on the lookout for these ever since and I chanced upon a rack in Manila Center, near the Al-Rajhi Supermarket beside Military Hospital (RKH).
The souvenirs that launched a thousand queries. Kikay camels, anyone?
Little cases in wonderful colors and bling.
Love the camel illustrations on that bag. Hahaha!
Love the combination of gold and rich, vibrant colors.
I personally like to take this home for our ancestral house!
How about some camel wood carvings in your house? From the desert with love!
With branches in Dirah (near the clock tower), Kingdom Hospital and National Guard Hospital.
thanks for posting those souvenir items..is it only available in king faisal hospital?I saw some of those items being sold also in Dirah.Whatabout the prices,is it reasonable?
@Siham: We don't know the names of those shops. Some are written in Arabic and some doesn't have signages at all. We saw them in Deira, a souk near Batha, long ago. In between Kingdom Mall and Riyadh Gallery, you can try Kuwaiti souk. However, we haven't roamed that area thoroughly so we don't know if there are souvenir shops there.

Tanks for reading The Pink Tarha!
What time are they open?
What entrance is the best one to go through when visiting the hospital site shop?
Gate 1. The one with the fountain.
Hi. I'm from Gassim region. I love collecting ref magnets but there's no souvenir shop near our place. Pwede ba magpabili dyan then for shipping nalang dito sa hospital namin? Thanks so much!
Is there a map to reach your shop?
Is the shop open on Fridays?
Any idea about the price of the little cases in wonderful color and bling? Thanks Pink Tarha.
@Anonymous 12:59PM: It's inside the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre ground. The hospital is pretty much familiar.

@Anonymous 6:07PM: Yes it is.

@Anonymous 11:35AM: If it's the small round cases, it's SR 5 each.
Just went to King Faisal this afternoon to go to Camel Corner. I told the guards that I will go to the amenities center to buy something. I was not allowed to go inside for he said that non-employees are not allowed to go inside. I was really looking forward to get some souvenirs but sadly that was not the case on this one. Kind of frustrating.


If you are people who think Social feed is replacing it, I promise you it never will. Reader is completely a different beast. I agree with Führer here. Leave.

If you guys really want the people to use Google+. First task would be providing vanity URL to all. Even if they don't get TheAwesomeUsername people would be happy to pick a screen name BadAss2041AD.
I would suggest to take Tumblr's path of Social, when you decide to copy, copy a decent one. Merge your old Blogger system with Google+ without breaking internet. No user would like to see a 404 page.

Em Rusciano: This Facebook complaint letter is next-level mean
WHOEVER said mean girls were only around in high school? A mum has been sent a letter that takes whining to the next level for the pettiest reason.

How not to complain about Facebook oversharing.Source:Supplied
Do you have a friend on Facebook who baby spams you?
Their kid's bowels move and produce something that resembles Jesus in their nappy and BAM: new profile pic (I'd like to say I made that particular example up, I'd like to say that).
All day, every day, they're relentless in showing online love for their child through frequent photos, anecdotes and humble brags on the Book of Face. The kid ends up being the last thing you see at night and the first thing you see in the morning.
Yes? You can think of that very person now?! Terrific!
Ever thought about getting together a group of pals and writing a savage, anonymous letter, just to let them know how much they're pissing you off?
Clutch your pearls friends, this one could get woolly.
A lady I know through my Facebook page shared a letter with me that she'd received from some "friends" that covered the topic of oversharing.
This caused an abrupt coffee put down at my house. I leaned forward, eyes wide in amazement/horror, re-read it 10 times (I wanted to turn away but all I could do was soak in its bitchy glory) and marvelled that this was a thing that happened.
Let's pause to reflect on the note for a moment shall we?
1. There was no gentle ease in, they really came in dry: "A few of us girls BOOM PEW PEW PEW — WE DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
2. No one has ever given less of a f*** about children's fashion than the writer of this letter: "She wears a new outfit — well take a photo and send it PRIVATELY to the person who gave it to her. Not to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
3. This person clearly needs to lay off the exclamation points. Are they laughing maniacally while they type them? It seems that way.
There are no rules here. Forget the World Wide Web, this is the god damn Wild Wild West.
She copped a drive by lettering plain and simple.
My initial reaction was: "That is some Lindsay Lohan, Mean Girls, burn book, on Wednesdays we only wear pink bullsh**."
Although before we get all high and mighty I'm sure that most of us have been guilty of some light fitching (Facebook bitching) from time to time. I have one "friend" who loves to post about how many men hit on her each day and another who uses the word "mentor" in a non-ironic fashion. You best believe that I've engaged in some serious eye rolling, to claim anything else would be untrue. Although to type and print (let's not overlook that part, who prints anything in 2015? Who can afford the ink?!) an anonymous letter that picks apart a friend's Facey habits — is some next-level behaviour y'all.
It's not like she busted into their houses armed with life-size portraits of her child dressed as a tiny adorable pumpkin and demand that they be hung on every wall. Obviously in some people's opinion she's been overdoing it on the proud mother moments. Annoying, yes. Worthy of an anonymous poison pen situation, no.
For me it also brought up the question: would I want to know if I was aggravating my friends on social media? Yes, I think I probably would. How would I want to find that information out? Not like this! There is a way to have a gentle conversation with someone you feel is overstepping the mark on social media that doesn't cut them off at the knees. You could perhaps phone them up and say: "Babes, enough with the pictures. I love you, I do, but how about we pull it back to 15 a day?" LOLZ everyone laughs, oh how we laugh, we're all still good friends, end scene.
Also, why didn't "the girls" just unfollow Jade on Facebook? Lord knows I almost strained a finger doing just that to anyone who used the words "Bonds Baby Search" in their status update last month. It's a harmless way to un-involve yourself with someone's feed while everyone's feelings remain intact.
This letter also covered the Holy Trinity of anxiety for me. It attacked her mothering, her self-perspective and probably left her feeling as though all her friends had turned on her. It honestly doesn't feel as though "the girls" just wanted Jade to change a particular behaviour, it feels as though they wanted her to feel crap about herself.
If this were me I would have felt ambushed, alone and obsessed with finding out who "the girls" actually were so I may understand their motivation better (Read: defend my honour to the death).
Now listen, I don't want this to become about attacking the people who wrote the letter. That would be counterproductive. Instead I think we should all just agree that a simple conversation in this particular situation would've saved a lot of heartache.
The other lesson is that perhaps we could all be a little more self-aware when it comes to social media and the things we're putting out there. Like the time I wore that see-through black dress on a red carpet and my huge, post breastfeeding, fighter pilot thumb nipples, were on full display.
More self awareness needed Em.

Mike Huckabee and Don Feder Explain the 'Anti-American' Alliance of the Left and Islam
By Brian Tashman | April 30, 2013 4:30 pm
Mike Huckabee today brought far-right activist Don Feder on to his show to address Feder's latest column, which argues that the Obama administration is intentionally ignoring threats from Islamic extremists while trying to increase the country's Muslim population.
Feder told Huckabee that while Obama condemned people who slander Mohammad in his 2012 remarks to the United Nations he never mentioned slanders against Jesus Christ, and Huckabee agreed.
Of course, Feder and Huckabee are wrong, as in the very next sentence of his address, where he condemned blasphemy laws, Obama said "those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied."
Feder claimed Obama is "about as pro-Islam as it is possible for a non-Muslim to be" and "will do anything to protect Islam."
After Huckabee asked him why "liberals are very defensive of Islam," Feder argued that liberals have "allied themselves with Islam" over their shared "anti-American" and "totalitarian" worldviews, along with the left's supposed bias towards "Third World people over Western people."
Feder: I think as a devout leftist, if I can put it in those terms, I think our President is about as pro-Islam as it is possible for a non-Muslim to be. The reason that he keeps telling us: don't jump to conclusions; don't be logical; don't follow the train of evidence; don't stigmatize Islam. Remember when he went to the United Nations last year and he said the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam, he didn't say the future must not belong to those who slander Jesus.
Huckabee: No.
Feder: This is his mindset. He will do anything to protect Islam and to protect the reputation of Islam. That's why after the Fort Hood massacre by a man who used to hand out business cards that said 'Soldier of Allah,' who shouted 'Allah is Great' while he was gunning down his fellow soldiers, who attended a radical mosque, and the President said, 'gee, I don't know why he'd do a thing like this.'
Huckabee: It is utterly bizarre. Don, you've been following this kind of thing for a long time, you've been writing about it for years and years and years, I don't understand and maybe you can enlighten me, liberals are very defensive of Islam, very defensive. They never want to assume that somebody connected to Islam would do something radical and horrible, and yet liberals will excoriate Christians for believing in traditional marriage. But Islam, they're not just anti-gay marriage, they believe basically in executing people who are homosexual. And women certainly don't have any rights within the moral extreme radical Islamic cultures like Saudi Arabia where they are not going to be able to drive or get ta full education, run a company, there are going to be a lot of limitations on women. So how do liberals justify and how do they reconcile their pro-women's rights, pro-abortion, pro-same-sex marriage, with an Islamic culture that they so want to protect that is far harsher on any of those things than any Christian I've ever known could possibly be?
Feder: Well I think you've hit the nub of the question, as they say. You are right, it seems counterintuitive. The left should be scared to death of Islam. Frankly, I think everybody should be scared of Islam; political Islam, at least. So why have they allied themselves with Islam? Two reasons: The first is, our mutual friend Gary Bauer says, they are both totalitarian movements, they both advocate unified control of humanity, one group on a religious basis, the other group on an ideological basis. Beyond that, they are both anti-American. I think that is what unites them more than anything else. That is why the left will go to ridiculous extremes to defend Islam because if an organization, if an entity, if a religion is anti-American then the left will naturally support it, as Islam is. That's the trump card, anti-Americanism. That and the fact that I think the left views Islam as a Third World religion and of course as you know the left is very big on supporting Third World people over Western people.

Q: dereferencing a pointer to struct inside function in c I have a .h file like this:
struct Node{
    struct Node *previous;
    struct Node *next;
    char *data;
};

struct Queue{
    struct Node *head;
    struct Node *tail;
};

int Queue_init(struct Queue *queue, struct Node *node){

    queue->head = node;
    queue->tail = node;
    return 0;
}

int Queue_push(struct Queue *queue, struct Node *node){

    node->next = NULL;
    if(queue->tail == NULL){
        queue->head = node;
        node->previous = NULL;
    } else {
        node->previous = queue->tail;
        queue->tail->next = node;
    }
    queue->tail = node;
    return 0;
}

int Queue_pop(struct Queue *queue, struct Node *node){

    fprintf(stderr,"%s\n",node->data);
    if(queue->head == NULL){
        node->data = NULL;
    } else{
        node = queue->head;
        if(queue->head->next == NULL){
            queue->head = NULL;
            queue->tail = NULL;
        } else {
            queue->head = queue->head->next;
            queue->head->previous = NULL;
        }
    }
    node->previous = NULL;
    node->next = NULL;
    fprintf(stderr,"%s\n",node->data);
    return 0;
}

My .c file is like this:
int main(){
    struct Node *node_0 = malloc(3*sizeof(void*));
    node_0->data = malloc(1000*sizeof(char));
    strcpy(node_0->data, "Hello");
    struct Queue *queue_0 = malloc(2*sizeof(void*));
    Queue_init(queue_0, node_0);
    struct Node *node_1 = malloc(3*sizeof(void*));
    node_1->data = malloc(1000*sizeof(char));
    strcpy(node_1->data, "World");
    Queue_push(queue_0, node_1);
    fprintf(stderr, "%s %s\n", queue_0->head->data, queue_0->head->next->data);
    Queue_pop(queue_0, node_1);
    fprintf(stderr, "%s %s\n", node_1->data, queue_0->head->data);
    free(queue_0);
    free(node_0->data);
    free(node_0);
    free(node_1);
    free(node_1->data);
    return 0;
}

I am not getting the results that I want with the queue_pop function.
The results I get are:
Hello World
World
Hello
World World

Basically, when I pop something out of the queue, I want to save it into the second parameter of the function, which is node_1, but it is not. I believe this might have something with dereferencing pointers in functions.
I get WHY my code is not working. But HOW do I get it to work? (That node_1->data should be equal to "Hello" after exiting the function).
Thanks. By the way, my first time posting, if anyone can tell me how to post the code without messing it up, that'll be helpful too.

Métis Nation-Saskatchewan teams up with Canadian Geographic to save Michif language
Column:
Sask Bulletin Article
Gilles Gagnier, publisher and chief operating officer of Canadian Geographic Enterprises (left), was on hand to make the partnership with the Métis Nation-Saskatchewan official. He is joined by Sherry Soll, MN-S minister of heritage and language and Glen McCallum, president of MN-S.
Things could not really have worked out much better for the Métis Nation-Saskatchewan in seeking out a national partnership to preserve the Michif language in a major way.
"They approached us," said a smiling Glen McCallum, MN-S president, following a news conference that put the official stamp on the partnership between MN-S and the nationally lauded Canadian Geographic magazine, with its more than 3.4 million readers in Canada and abroad. Canadian Geographic is committed to spending $1.8 million on projects to preserve the Michif language.
McCallum and Gilles Gagnier, publisher and chief operating officer of Canadian Geographic Enterprises, indicated the partnership is an ideal fit for both.
"We feel confident we have the right people involved and they bring great credibility to the table," McCallum said, noting that this partnership has been in the works for the past two-plus years.
Gagnier, who was also present for the official signing of The Future of Michif program at Gabriel Dumont Institute in Saskatoon, thanked the leaders of MN-S for the trust they have bestowed upon Canadian Geographic.
"Today we go forward together. We're not going to solve this single-handedly in terms of preserving the Métis culture and language, but it's too important not to try. We're sure as a result of this that more Canadians will be talking the Michif language in the future and we have a plan in store working together," Gagnier added.
Canadian Geographic had its origins in 1930 and one of the watershed moments for the organization was the publishing of the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada, which Gagnier referred to as the first steps on the path to reconciliation for the organization, while noting that this landmark agreement is further evidence of that commitment.
As for the MN-S, this is another poignant example of how they aim to capitalize on the momentum created by the Canada-Métis Nation Accord signed by the federal government in 2017 which recognizes the Métis for its own collective identity, language and culture.
"We [Métis people] have been on the sidelines for long enough, and this partnership is another important part of what needs to continue to happen. It's a story that needs to be told in terms of how far we have come in the last 15 to 20 years. Partnerships like this at the grassroots level help get our people excited about their language and their culture which is their identity," McCallum stressed.
McCallum spoke after the official signing ceremony about how partnerships like this are integral in creating legitimacy for the Métis peoples of Saskatchewan and Canada.
"As much as anything, this is an education piece we want not only our own people to benefit from, but for people in general to respect us and feel comfortable with us. It took a while for us to get there, but we've had to educate our own people along the way," McCallum said.
According to Gagnier, there are plans for a multi-platform engagement program that will celebrate Michif and Métis culture while building national capacity to educate and inspire the next generation of Métis youth to learn their heritage language. Plans include a documentary film as well as an ongoing social media awareness campaign.
McCallum sees this awareness partnership as a springboard to enhance what has become an all but moribund language. A native of Pinehouse and Beauval, McCallum said when he returns to visit "I know I belong because I can hear my own language and I can be me. It makes me proud and it feels good. When we know our language, we shall never forget who we are as Métis," McCallum shared.
Sherry Soll, who is the MN-S minister of heritage and language, recalled that while growing up in Manitoba, she was discouraged from speaking Michif, which she cited as one of the reasons for its decline over the years.
"I grew up knowing what it's like to not know the language, so for me this is very personal and the language is in danger of being lost," Soll said.
According to McCallum, partnerships such as this represent not only a significant step forward for Métis people, but will benefit all Canadians.
"This is about being inclusive and respectful of all cultures in Canada and that's part of our tradition we have to maintain. Working together is what it's all about, and we want to help build a stronger nation because we [Métis] are true Canadians," McCallum said.

Expansion Okayed
Efforts to block expansion of Heritage Shopping Center in Pineville, N.J., have apparently fallen short of the desired goal.
The opponent of the expansion, which is planned at the location in South Brunswick, is the owner of a competing retail complex. That complex is located within a mile of the Pineville property.
The opponent contends that approval by local government of the expansion would be an illegal act. That's because, the opponent argues, the project would require construction of a stream corridor of a detention basin and retainer. And such construction, the opponent added, would be prohibited under current rules and regulations,
The opponent also argued that approval of the project, as proposed, would require removal of native vegetation from the nearby stream corridor. Plus, he added, the plans fail to incorporate nonstructural management strategies. As such, that would be a violation of local regulations.
The history of the area at the heart of the dispute goes back some 15 years. During that time, Heritage built a large and prosperous shopping center on a 45-acre portion of its land.
More recently, the center owners made that decision to expand the size and overall surrounding area of mall. When they presented the plans for expansion and after reviewing additional information from various sources, the result was a backing of the expansion plans. A report noted that with a few minor exceptions, the center owners had complied with local requirements. Those exceptions were eventually resolved.
In response to the agreement, the opponent then took another approach. The opponent argued that as a result of that report, local commissioners went so far as to allow retaining walls and detention basins in the local streams corridor. Such additions would in fact be a violation. It became apparent that the opponent simply wasn't giving up easily, however. They further argued that agreeing with the Heritage plan, local authorities were acting unlawfully.
But that position was not in agreement with the findings. "We determined," said the presiding judge, "that Pineville…violated no legislative policies expressed or implied"

Review - A Wedding in December
by Anita Shreve
Little, Brown, 2005
May 30th 2006 (Volume 10, Issue 22)
A Wedding in December is a novel about marriage and infidelity. A group of seven people in their mid-forties gather together for a wedding. They were all at high school together, apparently an exclusive private institution, Kidd Academy. Bill and Bridget had been a couple back then, but they had split up and married other people. Now they are both single, and Bridget has cancer. They reconnected at the twenty-fifth reunion of their class, and fell in love again. In fact, Bill left his wife and child in order to be with Bridget. The event, on the first weekend in December, is being held at Nora's inn, in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts. Nora is a widow: she started her new business after her husband, the much older renowned poet Carl Laski killed himself . She describes herself as his "helpmeat," which Harrison, who used to be Nora's boyfriend, finds a puzzling word to describe her marriage. The group is joined by the successful business Jerry, who is arrogant and offensive, with his meek wife, and concert pianist Rob and his partner Josh. The group is rounded out by a writer, Agnes, who is single, childless, and seems very alone. Even during the weekend, she writes her new novel, about a man and his blind wife, and how they came to marry and live in their unhappy union. It is tempting to speculate that Agnes represents Anita Shreve herself, and even if this isn't the case, it is clear that the character of Agnes provides Shreve a way to discuss the creative process and the choices faced by a novelist.
Reuniting after twenty-seven years of rarely meeting, these men and women have much to reflect on about how their lives have unfolded and they all have painful secrets. Harrison, living in Toronto with his wife and two children, is the only one of the group with an apparently successful marriage; yet even he wonders what might have been if he had stayed with Nora. Nora holds secrets about her marriage to Carl. Bridget and Bill wish they had had longer together, and worry how much time they will have before she dies. Agnes holds a secret about her sad love life that she wants to tell her old classmates. Jerry is singularly unreflective, but his marriage seems unfulfilling and maybe as a defense, he likes to provoke those around him and tries to prove himself better than his peers. All of them think about their old friend Stephen, a baseball prodigy who died when they were all seniors, but none of them likes to talk about it.
Shreve's middle-class heterosexual characters nurse their disappointments about their lives. Each one of them has been unfaithful to a spouse, has been partner to infidelity, or has been cheated on. Only the gay couple Rob and Josh are truly happy together. A Wedding in December is a melancholy novel bordering on the lugubrious. Her pessimism about marriage seems to lead her to suggest that it can only work if the partners are homosexual or if one of them is due to die soon. The theme of the difficulty and challenge of marriage is such a well-worn theme that it is hard to take the novel very seriously, especially since Shreve doesn't have new insights to add. The novel derives its momentum from the gradual revelation of various mysteries about people's lives, such as how Steven died and what roles the different people played in his death. This is enough to make the keep the novel interesting, but by the end, the cumulative effect is unsatisfying. Shreve gestures at some grand ideas, but her characters' muted existences are not gripping, and her self-conscious game with the reader of toying with their fates feels tired well before the end of the book.
The unabridged audiobook is read by Linda Emond, whose New England accent is perfect for the task. Her slightly constrained reading fits well with the faux-sophisticated tone of the words, and is accented by the inclusion of music performed by a string quartet at the beginning and end of each CD and between chapters.

Video of SDPD officers punching man during arrest prompts investigation
Posted: May 13, 2021 / 01:31 PM PDT / Updated: May 14, 2021 / 10:31 AM PDT
WARNING: The video below contains images and language that viewers may find disturbing.
SAN DIEGO — Video of two San Diego police officers taking a man to the ground then punching him in the face and body multiple times during a struggle has led to an investigation by the police department.
Nicole Bansal shared the video with FOX 5 on Wednesday after witnessing the encounter at Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Village Drive. The San Diego Police Department said two officers were on patrol there around 9 a.m. when they saw a man urinating in public.
The four-minute video starts with one officer grabbing the man's arm as the second officer wraps his arms around the man from behind. The man, who is wearing a life jacket around his neck, is taken to the ground within a few seconds and an officer is seen punching him in the face multiple times.

Officers can be heard in the video telling the man to stop resisting and put his hands behind his back. At one point, the man grabs an officer's radio and throws it, and swats a hand in an officer's face as they hold him down.
The video shows officers holding the man on the ground for about 2 1/2 minutes, punching him in the leg and arm several more times before two more officers arrive and join them in holding the man down. The video ends with more patrol cars and an ambulance arriving.
Video of the arrest led Francine Maxwell, president of the NAACP San Diego branch, to email a letter to police Chief David Nisleit demanding an investigation.

"To yell 'stop resisting' and to continually punch and slap this man was clearly not conducive to calming the situation. The SDPD has a de-escalation policy that requires you to use time and space to defuse a situation, rather than immediately move to force. It seems to us that there was ample space to de-escalate," the letter said.

A San Diego Police Department spokesperson said in an emailed statement Wednesday night that they were aware of the video and internal affairs was investigating.
"The officers decided to approach the man because urinating in public violates the law. The man would not stop to speak with officers therefore an officer held the man to detain him," the statement said. "Despite the officers repeatedly telling the man to "stop resisting", the man would not comply. One of the officers struck the man several times. The man was taken into custody and transported to the hospital."
The police department said the man was later released from the hospital and booked into county jail on suspicion of resisting arrest and battery on a police officer.
Bansal told the San Diego-Union Tribune that she recognized the man as someone she believes to be homeless who frequents the area.
"There was no movement made to de-escalate," Bansal told the paper. "The immediate movement was to take him down. I don't understand."

The internal affairs unit will review the officers' body camera video, the police department said.
City Councilmember Joe LaCava, who represents the district where the arrest took place, called the video "a tragedy and a disgrace," and said the situation had called for a crisis response team rather than police officers.
"It is a matter of expertise and tools," LaCava said. "You would not send a doctor to arrest a criminal, police should not respond to mental health situations. This event obligated precious resources from the SDPD, the hospital and the jails.
"This individual will likely be back on the street unconnected to resources. I demand better and will vote on the budget to require it."
The councilmember said he specifically is pushing for funding Mobile Crisis Response Teams in the neighborhoods he represents, which are made up of non-law enforcement professionals who can respond to calls where there is not believed to be a violent threat and try to de-escalate situations and connect people with resources.
A county program dispatching MCRT teams has been in a trial stage in North County and will soon expand to the South Bay.

The latest health inspection reports released Thursday by Darien Health Department were for inspectors' visits to food-serving establishments from March 13 to 20. Nine establishments in town were inspected.
Three of the nine establishments inspected received a rating of "A." The rest each received a "B." None received a "C" — the worst in the town's A-B-C ratings system.

Q: PowerShell - Find duplicate files and ignore multiple files in the same compressed file I got this script and modified it a bit (to avoid extract the same file to one temp file).
I have two issues:

*

*When the script founds duplication, the SourchArchive always shows one file (instead of 2 that holds the same file inside)

*When a compressed file holds more than 1 same file in a different subfolder (in the same zip) the script return that there is duplication and its not good for me. If the compressed file has 3 files that are the same it should combined to 1 file and then compering it to another compressed file

Update:
The main goal is to compare between compressed files in order to find duplicate files inside the compressed files. The compressed files can be cab or zip (The zip could contains dlls, xml, msi and more. sometimes it contains also a vip files (vip is a compressed file that also contains files like dll))
After compering each compressed file in another the output should be the compressed files that holds the same files inside
It will be great to separate between the result with  ----------
this should be as part of a bigger script that should stop if there are duplicate files in more than 1 compressed file so only if $MatchedSourceFiles has result the script will stop otherwise should continue. I hope its clear now
Example:
test1.zip contains temp.xml
test2.zip contains temp.xml

The output should be:
SourceArchive       DuplicateFile
test1.zip           temp.xml
test2.zip           temp.xml
------------------------------
The next duplication files
------------------------------

Example 2: (multiple identical files in the same compressed file)
test1.zip contains 2 subfolders
test1.zip contains temp.xml under subfolder1 and also temp.xml under subfolder2

The result should be none
SourceArchive       DuplicateFile

Example 3:
test1.zip same as in example 2
test3.zip contains temp.xml

The result should be:

SourceArchive       DuplicateFile
    test1.zip           temp.xml
    test3.zip           temp.xml
    ------------------------------
    The next duplication files
    ------------------------------
    The next duplication files
    ------------------------------

$compressedfiles = Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Intel' -Include '*.zip', '*.CAB' -File -Recurse

$MatchedSourceFiles = foreach ($file in $compressedfiles) {

A: Thanks for the examples. Using these, I changed my previous code to this:
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.IO.Compression.FileSystem

$tempFolder      = Join-Path -Path ([IO.Path]::GetTempPath()) -ChildPath (New-GUID).Guid
$compressedfiles = Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Intel' -Include '*.zip','*.CAB' -File -Recurse

$MatchedSourceFiles = foreach ($file in $compressedfiles) {
    switch ($file.Extension) {
        '.zip' {
            # the destination folder should NOT already exist here
            $null = [System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory($file.FullName, $tempFolder)
            # prepare a subfolder name for .vip files
            $subTemp = Join-Path -Path $tempFolder -ChildPath ([datetime]::Now.Ticks)
            Get-ChildItem -Path $tempFolder -Filter '*.vip' -File -Recurse | ForEach-Object {
                $null = [System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory($_.FullName, $subTemp)
            }
        }
        '.cab' {
            # the destination folder MUST exist for expanding .cab files
            $null = New-Item -Path $tempFolder -ItemType Directory -Force
            expand.exe $file.FullName -F:* $tempFolder > $null
        }
    }
    # output objects for each unique file name in the extracted folder to collect in $MatchedSourceFiles
    Get-ChildItem -Path $tempFolder -File -Recurse |
        Select-Object @{Name = 'SourceArchive'; Expression = {$file.FullName}},
                      @{Name = 'FileName'; Expression = {$_.Name}} -Unique

    # delete the temporary folder
    $tempFolder | Remove-Item -Force -Recurse
}

# at this point $MatchedSourceFiles contains all (unique) filenames from all .zip and/or .cab files

# now see if there are files with duplicate names between the archive files
$result = $MatchedSourceFiles | Group-Object FileName | Where-Object { $_.Count -gt 1 } | ForEach-Object {$_.Group}

# display on screen
$result

# save as CSV file
$result | Export-Csv -Path 'X:\DuplicateFiles.csv' -UseCulture -NoTypeInformation

The output would be:
Example 1:
SourceArchive      FileName
-------------      --------
C:\Intel\test1.zip temp.xml
C:\Intel\test2.zip temp.xml

Example 2:
no output
Example 3:
SourceArchive      FileName
-------------      --------
C:\Intel\test1.zip temp.xml
C:\Intel\test3.zip temp.xml
