Biografia
Colonnello dell'esercito britannico, Corbett fu spesso impiegato dalle autorità imperiali nelle Province unite di Agra e Oudh per eliminare i mangiatori-di-uomini nel Kumaon e nel Garhwal. Tale attività gli valse grande notorietà presso le popolazioni locali.

Una volta ritiratosi, Corbett iniziò a scrivere le sue storie di caccia con grande successo sin dai primi titoli (Man-Eaters of Kumaon, Jungle Lore, etc.). Ormai convertitosi alla causa degli ambientalisti, sostenne la necessità di difendere il delicato ecosistema indiano, minato dall'urbanizzazione e dalla caccia indiscriminata ai grandi mammiferi. Grazie al suo impegno e alla rete di contatti creata nei suoi anni di attività, contribuì alla creazione del primo parco nazionale dell'India, il Hailey National Park (1936), poi ribattezzato in suo onore Parco nazionale di Jim Corbett (1957).

Nei media
La produzione letteraria di Corbett finì inevitabilmente per attirare sui suoi scritti e sulla sua figura le attenzioni dello show business.

La prima trasposizione mediatica delle opere di Jim Corbett data al 1948, quando il successo del libro Man-Eaters of Kumaon convinse Hollywood a produrre il lungometraggio Man-Eater of Kumaon (film diretto da Byron Haskin ed interpretato da Sabu, Wendell Corey e Joe Page). Completamente avulso dall'opera letteraria, il film fu un fiasco clamoroso.

Ebbe più fortuna la produzione BBC del 1986, Man-Eaters of India, un documentario romanzato con Frederick Treves che impersonava Corbett.

Nel 2002 la IMAX realizzò India: Kingdom of the Tiger chiamando Christopher Heyerdahl ad interpretare Jim Corbett, mentre nel 2005 una produzione BBC televisiva, The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag, riportò Corbett sugli schermi questa volta nei panni dell'attore Jason Flemyng. Per fortuna quest'ultima produzione è rintracciabile, in lingua originale, su YouTube.

Single Review: Of Monsters and Men – Human
By Steven Loftin on Tuesday, 1st December 2015 at 12:00 pm
Being a folk sensation leaves little room for manoeuvre. Take Mumford and Sons for instance: heavyweights in their field, but evidence that having the same sound consecutively wears thin very quickly, you have to shape up and get with the times.
Of Monsters and Men have done this nicely with their recent sophomore record 'Beneath the Skin' and more importantly, with upcoming single 'Human'. The bones from the band before are still there, but there's a definite evolution to be heard. The sound is grander, with more of a conscious effort to include electric guitars and large, thunderous drums. "Breathe in, breathe out and let the human in" softly signals the birth of the chorus, which is where Of Monsters and Men do what they do best. Surrounded by backing chants and chiming bells, everything it contains strikes the right chords. It's warming, charming and full of life.
It switches back and forth between the powerful chorus and the more timid verses, referencing our ability as humans to sometimes let the monster inside take over our better selves and forget who we are. "Eat me like a cannibal, chase the neon throne" may sound like nonsense, but that's the beauty of it. We, as a species, don't make sense and are far too often seen to sacrifice our own well being and sanity for what we believe to be the greater good, thus creating our own monsters.
The final crescendo, with its echoing and reverberating guitar sound, wouldn't go amiss amongst stadium rock giants such as U2 or Coldplay. Both the crescendo and song are certainly not reinventing the wheel, but it's good to hear the progression and experimentation developing. Of Monsters and Men have a special gift in their songwriting craft, going from strength to strength; come the time for their third output, we could potentially be on the verge of an absolute takeover and they'll be selling out full arena tours and a household name in no time.
'Human', the upcoming single from Of Monsters and Men, will be released the 25th of December on Island Records in the UK and Republic Records in America. The song features on the band's new album 'Beneath the Skin', out now. Past coverage of Of Monsters and Men on TGTF is this way.

Video of the Moment #1805: Of Monsters and Men
By Carrie Clancy on Friday, 15th May 2015 at 6:00 pm
Icelandic folk-pop quintet Of Monsters and Men have returned with a new single, titled 'Crystals', from their forthcoming second LP 'Beneath the Skin'. The darkly anthemic track was first accompanied by an abstractly interpretive lyric video, but the band have expanded on their visual expression of the song in the necromantic official video featured below. Filmed in the band's native Iceland by directors Arni & Kinski, the video portrays an eerily prismatic tableau of the band members operating a magical Dr. Frankenstein-esque machine.
'Beneath the Skin' is due for release on the 8th of June via Island Records. Previous TGTF coverage of Of Monsters and Men can be found here.

The newest video from Of Monsters and Men is for 'King and Lionheart'. Always a huge fan favorite live, 'King and Lionheart' grabs you with the same intense visual images as their previous video for 'Little Talks' (discussed in their Bands to Watch here). Of Monsters and Men again tapped the genius direction of WeWereMonkeys for this stunner and with a cliffhanger like this one's got, there had better be a part two!

Live Review: Of Monsters and Men with Lay Low at Black Cat, Washington DC – 2nd April 2012
By Cheryl Demas on Monday, 16th April 2012 at 2:00 pm
Icelandic folkies Of Monsters and Men took the DC area by storm earlier this month, playing not once but twice. The first was an intimate artists showcase in the afternoon sponsored by a local radio station, and the second was later that evening at Black Cat.
The evening started off with fellow Icelander Lovísa Sigrúnardóttir, who plays under the name Lay Low. While her voice had a bit of a wispy little girl quality that I often find tiresome, she kept enough force behind it with her aggressive playing and foot stomping to keep it well entertaining. It was especially effective on 'Horfið', a song she sang in her native tongue. The last song of the set 'Please Don't Hate Me' was a rousing song complete with looped vocals, giving a hint at what it might be like to see her play with her six-piece band. This song was more forceful and the best of the evening.
Fronted by two acoustic guitar wielding singers, Of Monsters and Men does not instantly strike you as the standard recipe for world domination. And yet, every U.S. date has been sold out. They are definitely non-standard fare that has a strangely wide appeal. No less than three different band members took their turn at the accordion – an instrument not often found at the squat, clubby venue we found ourselves at that night. Two keyboards and an ever present trumpet played by touring member Ragnhildur Gunnarsdóttir, contributed to the unique Of Monsters and Men sound. The stage was delightfully adorned with tiny white lights that lit to life on the first loud burst and continued to add a whimsical air to the stage all night. And of course, last but not least, the dual vocals of Ragnar þórhallsson and Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir with their acoustic guitars were amazing. The band was rounded out by Brynjar Leifsson on guitar, Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson on drums (and aforementioned accordion, and wearing a fetching sailor suit – !), Kristján Páll Kristjánsson on bass and Árni Guðjónsson on keys. The small stage was crowded with musicians and gear, and a wine bottle was the ultimate victim as it plunged over the side spilling half its contents on the floor when one too many band members tried to slide by.
Playing a rather short set – just twelve songs total – Of Monsters and Men started out with 'Dirty Paws' and had the crowd singing right from the get go. Despite the fact that the album was not to be released in the United States until the following morning (and sadly, the band were not shipped any early to be sold at the merch table), the vast majority of the people knew the words to this and many of the other songs. Ah, the power of Youtube! In fact, there were numerous cries for 'King and Lionheart' – a clear crowd favorite, as well as my own personal fave.
I had been lucky enough to have a friend from Iceland send me a copy early, but learned at the show that two new songs had been recorded just for the 3 April release. So, the next morning I was online adding my two cents to the juggernaut that landed them in the #1 spot for downloads that day. We were treated to both of the new songs live. 'Mountain Sound' included the sing along "Sleep until the sun goes down / deep into the mountain sound" and 'Slow and Steady' has an catchy, slow burning appeal to it. 'Beneath the Bed' was a song that didn't make the album (neither the Icelandic or global release) but was a great rocking tune. However, it was easy to see how it didn't mesh with the rest of the album and had to be sacrificed.
The music was jubilant, infectious and crowd pleasing. And the band is already set to return to the States in the summer. So when they make their foray over to the UK and Europe, be sure to grab a date when you can: America loves them and may just want to keep them.
After the cut: Of Monsters and Men set list.

Can-Am League Announces 2019 International Series
By Ballpark Digest Editors on January 28, 2019 in Independent Baseball, News
The independent Can-Am League has announced plans for its fourth-annual International Series, featuring the Cuban National Team and Japan's Shikoku Island Team. This year marks the third time each team will play in the Can-Am League's annual baseball showcase.
The Cuban National Team and Shikoku Island Team will play three games against each of the Can-Am League's six clubs from June 14-July 4.
"For years, the Can-Am League has been honored to host teams from around the world, and we're proud this tradition will continue for the 2019 season". Executive Director Kevin Winn said. "We're especially pleased to host the Cuban National Team, who will be in preparation for their appearance in the Pan American Games in Peru. I'm confident these games between our clubs and both Cuba and Shikoku Island will be competitive and exciting."
The Cuban National Team has mixed success against the Can-Am League with an overall record of 16-25. In 2017, Cuba went 5-16 against league opponents. While the Quebec Capitales and the New Jersey Jackals went 4-0 against Cuba's national squad, the Trios-Rivieres Aigles were less fortunate with a 1-4 record. Yet Cuba went 11-9 during their first visit for the league's global showcase. The Capitales were the most successful against Cuba as they posted a 4-1 record. However, Cuba's National Team swept the Rockland Boulders and Sussex County Miners and three-game sets.
Shikoku Island has logged an overall record of 14-22 against the Can-Am League. Their last visit was in 2016 when they went 8-12 versus league opponents including going 2-1 against the Boulders and Ottawa Champions, respectively. The Aigles was the most successful by sweeping Shikoku Island in a three-game series. In 2015, Shikoku Island went 6-10 including taking two out of three against the Miners. The Boulders were the league's best as they went 4-0 against Shikoku.

This half-hour CBS-TV Saturday morning live-action "children's show" aired from 1986 until 1991 and was enormously popular with both children and adults. The program won six Emmy Awards and a host of other accolades during its first season. Incorporating clips from vintage cartoons and old educational films, newly produced 3-D animation, hand puppets, marionettes, and a cast of endearingly eccentric characters led by a gray-suited and red-bow-tied Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens), Pee-wee's Playhouse might best be described as a flamboyant take off on the genre of children's educational TV--a sort of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood meets MTV. The childlike Pee-wee each week welcomed viewers into his technicolor fantasy-land, and led them through a regimen of crafts and games, cartoon clips, "secret words," and "educational" adventures via his Magic Screen. Yet, in stark contrast to the high moral seriousness of its predecessors, Pee-wee's Playhouse was marked from its outset by a campy sensibility and frequent use of double entendre, allowing different types of viewers to enjoy the show in many different ways. As The Hollywood Reporter put it, Pee-wee's Playhouse was "TV gone Dada....skillfully balanc[ing] the distinction between low-camp and high performance art."
Pee-wee Herman was the brainchild of Reubens, an actor who developed the rather nasal-voiced and somewhat bratty character through routines and skits in comedy clubs. Reubens as Pee-wee (the ruse was to present Pee-wee as a "real" person and not just a character) appeared on comedy and talk shows and in a successful Los Angeles theatre production, The Pee-wee Herman Show, which quickly developed a cult following after it was taped and aired on Home Box Office. In 1985 the character starred in Tim Burton's debut feature film Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, and the next year Pee-wee's Playhouse premiered on CBS. Based on The Pee-Wee Herman Show, the Saturday morning series was considerably less "adult" than the theatre piece had been, although it incorporated many of the same supporting characters, including lusty seaman Captain Carl (Phil Hartman in his pre-Saturday Night Live days) and the magical genie Jambi (co-writer John Paragon), the latter a disembodied head in a box who granted Pee-wee's wishes. Other (human) characters appearing on the TV show included Reba the mail lady (S. Epatha Merkerson), the pretty girl-next-door Miss Yvonne (Lynne Stewart), the King of Cartoons (William Marshall and Gilbert Lewis), Cowboy Curtis (Larry Fishburne), Tito the lifeguard (Roland Rodriguez), Ricardo the soccer player (Vic Trevino), and the obese Mrs. Steve (Shirley Stoler). Puppetry was employed to create the characters of bad-boy Randy, The Cowntess, Pteri the Pterodactyl, Conky the Robot, Globey the Globe, Chairy the Chair, and many others. Newly produced animated sequences focused on a young girl named Penny, a family of miniature dinosaurs who lived in the walls of the Playhouse, and a refrigerator full of anthropomorphized food. Music for the shows was provided by cutting edge artists such as Mark Mothersbaugh, Todd Rundgren, Danny Elfman and Van Dyke Parks. Dolls and toys of both Pee-wee and other Playhouse denizens were successfully marketed, and something of a Pee-wee craze spread through popular culture. Episodes of the series were aired in prime time in November of 1987, and another feature film, Big Top Pee-Wee, was released in 1988. That same year Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special aired in prime time, featuring most of the regular characters plus a plethora of special guest stars including k. d. lang, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Little Richard, The Del Rubio Triplets, Cher, Grace Jones, Dinah Shore, Joan Rivers, Annette Funicello, and Frankie Avalon.
From its debut, Pee-wee's Playhouse attracted the attention of media theorists and critics, many of whom championed the show as a postmodernist collage of queer characters and situations that seemed to fly in the face of dominant racist, sexist, and heterosexist presumptions. (Some accounts of the show were less celebratory and criticized the show's regular use of comic fat women as sexist.) The show was forthrightly multi-cultural in cast and situation: the mail-man was an African-American mail-lady, Latino soccer player Ricardo often spoke Spanish without translation, the white Miss Yvonne went on a date with African-American Cowboy Curtis, tough-as-nails cab driver Dixie (Johann Carlo) was a possible lesbian, and Jambi was played as a dishy gay man. Pee-wee himself often poked fun at heterosexist conventions: he once "married" a bowl of fruit salad. The smirking irony, the campy double entendre ("Is that a wrench is your pocket?") and use of icons from gay and lesbian culture (perhaps most infamously on the Christmas special, which, aside from its guest stars, featured two muscular and shirtless workmen building a "blue boy" wing to the playhouse out of fruitcakes) furthered this interpretation. This apparent outbreak of playful queerness during the politically reactionary Reagan-Bush/Moral Majority years was a key factor of many adults' enjoyment of the show. Yet that same queerness lurked in the realm of connotation, where it was just as easily ignored or dismissed by other, more mainstream critics. Some parents objected to the show's polymorphous and anarchic approach to childhood (encouraging children to "scream real loud" or jump around the house).
When Paul Reubens was arrested inside an adult movie theatre in August 1991, the Pee-wee craze came to an abrupt end. The show was canceled and in many toy stores Pee-wee merchandise was removed from the shelves. A few years later, Reubens as Pee-wee made an appearance at an MTV event, but it seemed as if his days as a television host of a "children's show" were over, despite the fact that his pre-(hetero)sexualized antics and progressive social attitude had captured America's imagination so strongly--for a few years at least.

Delta Variant in N.Y.C.: What to Know
The variant
The present-day outlook
The coming months
From The Moments
And finally: At-dwelling virus checks are still practical — even if you are vaccinated
Metropolitan Diary: Concrete dust
Weather: Sizzling and humid less than largely sunny skies. Significant in the mid-90s, with a heat index over 100. Prospect of storms later in the working day.
Alternate-facet parking: In impact until Sunday (Independence Working day).
As the spread of the coronavirus ebbs in New York and lively summertime existence returns, concerns keep on being over what the coming months could maintain.
The issues largely middle on the Delta variant, the really infectious kind of the virus that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious condition qualified, referred to as "the best threat" to reducing circumstances across the state. It has unfold to at least 85 nations around the world and has led Environment Health Corporation officials to urge even thoroughly vaccinated folks to proceed donning masks, citing the dearth of vaccines and significant costs of local community transmission in many sections of the planet.
"We're going to enjoy it carefully," Mayor Bill de Blasio mentioned lately on WNYC. "There's no proof at this instant that it alterations the trajectory. But if just about anything takes place — when we have to make changes, we will make them swiftly."
Here are a few things to know:
The Delta variant is thought to be the most transmissible variant but, however estimates of its infectiousness differ.
Evidence implies that it may well be capable to partly evade the antibodies designed by the overall body following a virus an infection or vaccination. It may also bring about a lot more severe ailment, while substantially about it remains uncertain.
[Read more about the Delta variant.]
Approximately 23 % of new cases in New York Town have been determined as the Delta variant as of June 12, the very last date for which the city's wellness information on the distribute is out there, however the rate comes from a rather low sample.
Health specialists say the Delta variant is unlikely to pose substantially threat to men and women who have been entirely vaccinated. About 60 p.c of the city's adult citizens and about 51 percent of all inhabitants have been totally vaccinated in opposition to the coronavirus, according to the city's wellness facts.
New York's 7-working day average price of good exam effects — at .57 per cent on Friday — stays very low, city information reveals, though a few ZIP codes on Staten Island are reporting marginally higher rates.
It is mysterious no matter whether the variant will travel the total number of instances larger. But industry experts say it could gas outbreaks the place gaps in vaccinations exist: Only 38 p.c of Black older people in New York City have acquired at the very least just one dose, for case in point, and premiums are lagging between younger people today and in the Bronx and Brooklyn.
Mitchell Katz, the main government of the city's community hospital system, claimed there is very little proof correct now that fully vaccinated New Yorkers want to just take better safeguards since of the variant or return to full-time mask-carrying.
Michael Gold contributed reporting.

The Times's Tara Parker-Pope writes:
Received the sniffles? Apprehensive about that evening out in a crowded club? Or it's possible you just want to go to a grandparent but are involved about their threat, even even though you're vaccinated in opposition to the coronavirus.
At-household rapid virus checks, which give final results in minutes, can be valuable and reassuring for the two the vaccinated and unvaccinated.
Specified the availability of vaccines for all persons 12 and more mature in New York and all-around the nation, it might be tough to think about why any one would still have to have a home take a look at. But the virus isn't heading entirely away at any time quickly — and a rise in infections this slide among the the unvaccinated seems inevitable.
In most cases, frequent house tests is not important for a person who is absolutely vaccinated. The vaccines available in the United States have been demonstrated to be effective towards the variants, including Delta. But breakthrough bacterial infections, despite the fact that unusual, go on to come about.
A household take a look at can offer you reassurance to a vaccinated human being who has traveled lately or expended time in a crowded bar. It can be employed a lot more usually for people with youthful young children who aren't yet suitable for vaccination.
There are a couple of scenarios wherever the exams may well be valuable: as an extra precaution for a vaccinated man or woman who desires to shell out time with a grandparent or somebody who is immune compromised to be absolutely sure a cough or sniffle is just allergic reactions or a common cold rather than Covid-19 for unvaccinated small children, who could be tested ideal ahead of a birthday social gathering.
It is Wednesday — continue to be wholesome.
Dear Diary:
I was at the 68th Road-Hunter Faculty station, standing in a neat row of commuters dressed in fits and punching dumbly at the keys of MetroCard devices that all appeared to be down.
A building worker arrived bounding down the stairs. He was smiling and went straight to the booth.
I stepped over to stand powering him. He was lined head to toe in concrete dust. A line started to type at the rear of me.
"Fill it up," he claimed to the woman in the booth, handing her a MetroCard and a crisp $50 invoice evenly coated with the identical dust.
"Sorry, I'm a minor filthy," he explained, nevertheless smiling. "But I guess that implies I'm accomplishing all proper, you know? If I'm clean up, that implies I'm broke. But if I'm dirty, I'm executing all appropriate."

The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row by Anthony Ray Hinton.
But with no money and a different system of justice for a poor black man in the South, Hinton was sentenced to death by electrocution. He spent his first three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in agonizing silence―full of despair and anger toward all those who had sent an innocent man to his death. But as Hinton realized and accepted his fate, he resolved not only to survive, but find a way to live on Death Row. For the next twenty–seven years he was a beacon―transforming not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates, fifty–four of whom were executed mere feet from his cell. With the help of civil rights attorney and bestselling author of Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson, Hinton won his release in 2015.

If you look hard enough, you can find stories pretty much anywhere. They don't even have to be your own. Or so would-be writer Maurice Swift decides very early on in his career. A chance encounter in a West Berlin hotel with celebrated novelist Erich Ackermann gives him an opportunity to ingratiate himself with someone more powerful than him. For Erich is lonely, and he has a story to tell. Whether or not he should do so is another matter.
Once Maurice has made his name, he sets off in pursuit of other people's stories. He doesn't care where he finds them–or to whom they belong–as long as they help him rise to the top. Stories will make him famous, but they will also make him beg, borrow, and steal. They may even make him do worse.
Our Shared Shelf is also on GoodReads (like SJP).

From Colorado Springs we headed up to Bolder to climb in the Flatirons. We Parked at NCAR and hiked up to Seal Rock with the plan to climb the East Face/North Side. From the description it seemed like a multi-pitch climb that wouldn't be too difficult but would give us an idea of what climbing in the Flatirons is all about. The hike was about 1.8 miles with 1100 meters of elevation gain. We followed Mesa Trail south, but after the turn off for the climber's trail, the path became less defined and we had to do some searching once we reached the rock. We finally found the start of the climb and realized that there is no clearly defined route. One of the descriptions we read stated "follow the path of most assistance". We went straight up, where the climbing was easy slab but protection was few and far between.
There were two pitches to get to the ridge and then a traverse to the climber's left. From there, someone that was rappelling down the route pointed to a flake to our left and told us that was the route. I wanted to lead on the flake to our right, it looked better protected and I could see a good route up to the top from there. The left route went out of sight, but we were told that the climb went that way and we wanted to stay on route.
I started climbing. The flake provided good placements and protection, so I placed a cam about 20 feet up and kept climbing. The flake and protection brought me farther and farther left. My belay rope had flopped off the flake and gone behind it, causing really heavy rope drag.
I dragged myself up the rock until there was so much friction that I couldn't go any farther. I set up a multi-point anchor and belayed to other two climbers. On the crowded belay ledge we realized one of my biggest fears about trad-climbing: I had climbed us off route and into a corner with no easy way up. Looking to the right, I realized that flake lead to easy climbing and was definitely the actual route. We couldn't traverse back to the right because there was no protection placements or holds between where we were and where we needed to be. The only direction we were able to go was down. Two of us climbed down to the traverse pitch while on belay from the anchor above. Once both climbers were safe they belayed the last down climber from below. The sky had gotten darker and clouds rolled over us so we decided to cut our losses and bail. On the traverse pitch there is a tree with a rap anchor. We rappelled on that off the opposite side of the rock that we climbed. This 15 foot rappel lead us to a walk off route.
This taught me a valuable lesson: If you are the one lead climbing, trust yourself and what you can see.
The East Face/North Side of Seal Rock was an awesome climb. It is a little bit of everything and had comfortable belay stations for practicing three party climb transitions. It starts off as easy slab and should end with easy vertical climbing, if you stay on route.
This was completely different than the climbing we did in Colorado Springs, which you can read about in Part 1,or Rocky Mountain National Park in Part 3.


The ban, a campaign pledge of President Emmanuel Macron's, was brought in under a law passed in July which also banishes tablets and smart watches from French primary and junior high schools, AFP wrote.
Nearly 90 percent of French adolescents aged between 12 and 17 have a mobile phone, and supporters hope the ban will help limit the spread of, among other things, violent content among children.
French Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer has hailed the legislation as 'a law for the 21st century' that would improve discipline among France's 12 million schoolchildren.
The government has left schools to decide how to implement the new rules, recommending that they store students' phones in lockers during the day — but some schools do not have them.
At the other end of the age spectrum, a shakeup of the higher education system making university access more selective prompted a wave of student sit-ins this year.

Q: jQuery: hide/ show + change text clicking the same class I have a group of words that on click should show and hide elements. In addition, I need to change that first group of words. So if it gets clicked, it shows the container with content + gets changed to hide. In alternative, when it is clicked again, it should hide the content and become 'show' again.

Click Here to Show

.... content

Thanks

A: You can have a counter to toggle between hide and show.
var click = 0;
$('.hide-show-button').click(function() {
     if(click == 1)
     {
        $(this).text('show');
        $('.hide-show').hide();
        click--;
     }
     else
     {
        $(this).text('hide');
        $('.hide-show').show();
        click++;
     }

});

A: You can use .text() method's callback function and this keyword which refers to the clicked element.

       Click Here to Show

.... content

$('.hide-show-button').on('click', function(){
   var fn;
   $('span', this).text(function(_, text) {
       fn = text.toLowerCase();
       return text === 'Show' ? 'Hide' : 'Show';
   }).parent().next()[fn]();
});

http://jsfiddle.net/KzwXQ/
As @Joe suggests you can also use .toggle() method:
$('.hide-show-button').on('click', function () {
    $('span', this).text(function (_, currentText) {
        return currentText === 'Show' ? 'Hide' : 'Show';
    }).parent().next().toggle();
});

I came to Notre Dame's Center for Research Computing (CRC) in May 2009 with a mission to create a unique, interdisciplinary environment, where strong groups of computational and computer scientists and research programmers would work side by side with scientists, engineers, mathematicians and scholars in the arts, humanities, and business to create new information technology approaches to research. I strongly believe that the world of research computing will have a profound and transformative effect on literally all disciplines, and I envision the Center to be a place at Notre Dame with the breadth and depth to help drive such advances.
Beginning with a small handful of staff and researchers, the CRC is undergoing tremendous growth, with a number of HPC engineers, computational scientists and research programmers hired to date. CRC's computational scientists specialize in such areas as computational mathematics, astrophysics, physics, molecular dynamics, computer science, geographical information systems, scientific portals, visualization, application performance tuning, parallel and distributed computing, cloud and grid computing and more. They all have, or will have, their own teams of research programmers, so they can be engaged in long term research development and research support projects.
The CRC aims to be a partner for research at the University of Notre Dame, and we expect to continue to grow as a central component of Notre Dame's research development in the coming decades. We have aligned ourselves very strongly with the Presidential Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC) report and the National Science Foundation's Office of Cyberinfrastructure, which has developed a strategic plan for 21st Century Discovery.
As we continue to develop the CRC, we expect to generate many exciting projects to attract additional faculty, researchers and students in areas as diverse as computational and computer science, arts and humanities and digital media. We look forward to working with you to create a new future of computational sciences and interdisciplinary applications to advance research development at the University of Notre Dame and beyond.


The federal government is relocating thousands of children and young adults who entered our country illegally in communities throughout our country. These illegal immigrants will be absorbed into communities where they will require public assistance and educational and medical benefits at the cost to taxpayers of those communities.
The assumption that the children will be returned to their native country is laughable.
Placement of agents on the border would prohibit entry of illegals into the USA and then, perhaps, Mexico would take a look at the illegals crossing its borders.

Microsoft's new devices and the artificial intelligence wave

Microsoft\'s new devices and the artificial intelligence wave
Microsoft pitched developers to join its ecosystem as it showed off its very latest technologies and platforms at the Microsoft "Build 2016" event in San Francisco.CCTV America's Mark Niu reports from San Francisco.
Microsoft said its Windows 10 platform leaves Windows 8 in the dust, routing 270 million active users in eight months' time for its fastest operating system adoption in history.
But the star of the show was Hololens, Microsoft's untethered headset that combines virtual reality and augmented reality. Microsoft made it available to developers for the first time, and showed how Case Western Reserve University was already using it.
Microsoft also showed off advances in intelligence through its personal assistant Cortana.
It also released a BOT platform, essentially making it easier for developers to build their own robot answering services that are increasingly used by companies.
But Microsoft ran into a problem this past week when it unveiled Tay, an artificial Intelligence chatbot designed to tweet like a teenage girl. Users actually tricked Tay into sending out offensive remarks, forcing Microsoft to make Tay private.
"When we launched our incubation Tay, a social bot in the United States, we quickly realized it was not up to the mark. So we are back to the drawing board while we continue to incubate from China and Japan and learn. Why is it there that the social bots work differently?" Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, said.
Microsoft also showed the great potential of its intelligence work by introducing blind software engineer Saqi Shaikh. Computer vision combined with artificial intelligence, and natural language voice recognition, could allow him to be fully aware of what most people take for granted.

Wat Phnom was built in 1373, and stands 27 metres above the ground. It is the tallest religious structure in the city. The pagoda was given the name of Wat Preah Chedey Borapaut.
The overland expedition begins as we departure for the town and pass through Cambodia's biggest growing rubber area to Kampong Cham. The deep contrast of lush vegetation and red surface of basaltic soil is incredible all along the way. On arrival in Kampong Cham we visit the beautiful French colonial architecture and Wat Nokhor containing the ancient temple and modern style pagoda.

Overnight at hotel in Kompong Thom.
Leaving Kampong Thom for Sambor Prei Kuk. Sambor Prei Kuk, 30 kms north of town, is a jungle-enclosed temple complex that receives very few tourists due to its remote location. However, a visit to these Pre-Angkorian ruins should not be missed. As you travel through the ruins on bike and foot, you will be awe-struck at the melding of architecture and nature, as the brick structures here blend seemlessly with the nature surrounding them.
You will have the chance to visit and contribute to the sustainability of the people's livelihood as the local community will prepare a simple but tasty lunch for you near the temples. After lunch, continue our journey towards Siem Reap.
On arrival in Siem Reap, check in to the hotel and enjoy the remainder of the afternoon at leisure.

Continue your visit to Ta Prohm, one of the most beautiful temples in Angkor. Ta Prohm has been relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery. Neak Pean, a fountain built in the middle of a pool (representing the paradisiacal Himalayan mountain-lake), Ta Som, built in late 12th century C.E. the most distant temple on the grand circuit, small but classic.
In the afternoon, visit Angkor Wat the most famous of all the temples on the plain of Angkor. The temple complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Its distinctive five towers are emblazoned on the Cambodian flag and the 12th century masterpiece is considered by art historians to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture.
Before ending the tour today, enjoy a wonderful sunset scenery from the Top of Phnom Bakhen Hill.

You could spend four figures on a parka emblazoned with flashy logos. Or, you could get the very same weather protection at a fraction of the cost (complete with low-key branding). A no-brainer, don't you think?
The herringbone polyester shell doesn't just look great—it's completely waterproof for total protection in ugliest weather.
Our parka is designed to perform on Polar Vortex days, from the major components (think 550-fill power traceable goose down and waterproof herringbone exterior) down to the make-all-the-difference details (shock cord hem adjuster, storm flaps and hand warmer pockets, for starters).

How many people fly them online and what do you use for your convergence, do you trim the plane at all or trim slightly tail heavy to keep planes turns more even. I know my freind DEY_Grumpy_ likes them and is good with them but curious as to what your settings are and how you like to fly with them on.
With my setup (MSFFB2), I have to trim nose heavy with 9 keytaps so there is little or no stick pressure required in a high speed bnz.
I only trim a little back again if I get bounced when extending.
2x30mm is good enough even for delta wood.
It won the war, afterall !
I use 300 convergence and always take the 108s.
I use 500m convergence, you only need one MK-108 to hit and 500m gives you a bigger "hit box" or more spread.
As for trimming, I ususally trim a little more nose heavy than default as I fly at high speed and I don't need the nose pulling up on me. As a good starting point I try to trim for level flight at about 500km/h, but adjust to whatever feels comfortable. But adjusting trim will effect accuracy if done properly, especially at high speeds.
Hehe.... I hates them MK-108s. Gimme the MG-151/20s anyday.

The Battle of Milazzo was a naval battle fought in 888 between the Byzantine and Aghlabid fleets off northeastern Sicily. The battle was a major Aghlabid victory. It is sometimes known as the Second Battle of Milazzo, counting the Battle of Stelai as the First Battle of Milazzo.

Battle
In 888, the Aghlabids mounted a new expedition aimed at Byzantine Calabria, with ships from Sicily as well as Ifriqiya. Off Milazzo, the fleet met a Byzantine squadron of the Imperial Fleet of Constantinople. The ensuing battle is not mentioned by any Byzantine source, but only by Ibn Idhari's al-Bayan al-Mughrib as well as the Cambridge Chronicle. Both agree that it was a crushing Aghlabid victory—their first in open sea combat: reportedly 5,000 Byzantines drowned, and 7,000 in total (or 7,000 more, depending on the translation from the Arabic) were killed.

Aftermath
In the aftermath of this debacle, the Byzantines abandoned many strongholds they had held in the Val Demone, and the remainder, left without hope of Byzantine aid, concluded a truce with the Aghlabid governor of Sicily. Even the garrison and populace of Rhegion are said to have temporarily abandoned their city for fear of Aghlabid attacks.

BOSTON — Ryan Fitzgerald waited until Jake Oettinger turned around. Refusing to take any chances, especially on a shorthanded attempt, Fitzgerald needed to be absolutely sure that his heave landed on the twine. The suspense of the puck flying in the air delayed Fitzgerald's celebration. He, along with Charlie McAvoy and Christopher Brown, all just turned to wait.
But before the red lamp flashed, Oettinger's head dropped to the goal line. And Fitzgerald welcomed all those who came in for the hug.
The suspense wasn't as strong in the third period, though. That time, when Fitzgerald scored, he knew immediately. And the once hesitant redemption tour against Boston University had been affirmed.
With Boston College men's hockey's season on the line—not to mention his own college career—Fitzgerald scored two goals in the Eagles' 3-2 win over the Terriers in the Hockey East Semifinals. The win sets a date on Saturday with Massachusetts Lowell for the Hockey East Championship, the program's 17th trip to the title game—most of any team in the conference—and its first since 2012. And for Fitzgerald, who struggled through a cold February like the rest of the team, it provides a scoresheet manifestation of his hard work this season.
The win is the first in four tries for No. 15 BC (21-14-4) against its archrivals from down Commonwealth Ave. In fact, in the first three games against No. 7 BU (23-11-3) and Oettinger, the Eagles only amassed a measly two goals total. And though the Terriers stormed back with two extra-attacker goals in the last three minutes—including a controversial ending—the early offense was just enough for BC.
The victory also keeps BC's hopes for an NCAA Tournament berth alive. After Western Michigan's loss in the NCHC Semifinals, Friday's win alone will assuredly not cut it based on PairWise Rankings—they must win the Lamoriello Trophy on Saturday night to get an autobid.
As strong and impactful as it was to get Fitzgerald going again, no player was as important as for BC than goaltender Joseph Woll. The freshman from St. Louis, Mo. put together his best performance this season—by far—with 42 saves.
During an electrifying back-and-forth first period, in which the two teams set a fast pace, Woll deflected a couple of attempts, particularly from Patrick Harper and Bobo Carpenter. He survived all five Terrier power-play opportunities, including an almost four-minute stretch in the first period that featured a brief 5-on-3.
Late in the second, Woll staved off a massive scrum in front of the net for his most impressive save of the evening. Graham McPhee fell into Woll in the net, knocking him onto his backside. Clayton Keller, Patrick Curry, and Ryan Cloonan all crashed on Woll, but he extended just far enough to prevent the lamp from lighting.
BU head coach David Quinn took the praise a step further.
Offensively, the Eagles ran counter to the strategy York and team captain Chris Calnan emphasized earlier in the week to beat BU: getting deflections and firm plants in front of the net. BC's first goal was a snipe by Julius Mattila from the top of the left circle. The freshman from Finland launched one at Oettinger, taking advantage of Terriers that played soft on him.
Fitzgerald's first goal was of the same variety. Despite an Austin Cangelosi holding call, Brown worked around Chad Krys to dish the puck to a streaking Fitzgerald. He moved around his potential future Boston Bruins teammate, McAvoy, to loft one up from the slot against Oettinger. That shorthanded goal, mixed with the the deficit, came back to sting BU.
BC's third goal, however, was of the expected variety. Fitzgerald tipped in a dribbling pass, again by Brown, that got through the Terriers' defense. Doyle Somerby didn't get back in time to prevent Fitzgerald from tipping it in past Oettinger's left. Now playing center instead of his typical right wing, Fitzgerald has done what he can to improve other parts of his game. The fact that the posts and crossbars haven't been going his way isn't lost on the senior from North Reading, Mass. Yet it was a relief for him to get a few goals, too.
"Anytime you can produce for your team it can be good," Fitzgerald said.
As to be expected, the Terriers didn't go quietly into the cold March night. After failing on two power-play opportunities—a unit Quinn said "let him down" in the game—Jordan Greenway pushed one over the head of Woll. Under a minute later, Woll gave up a rebound that Casey Fitzgerald tried to clear, but landed right onto the stick of Keller to cut the lead to 3-2.
On the game's final faceoff, with 9.8 seconds left, Fitzgerald claimed to have tripped to fall onto the puck. Instead of getting up to risk the shot on goal, Fitzgerald risked the delay of game penalty.
The play caused a huge brawl between the two teams to end the game. The penalties (and likely, suspensions) might stretch into a whole other scoresheet.
But, as Fitzgerald said, anything he can do for the team can be good. And for the Eagles, to keep their season alive, they'll need to do everything possible to win the Hockey East title.


Official: How do you say "Chrysler minivan" in Italian? "Lancia Voyager"
The Chrysler-Fiat merger has already spawned some nicely badge-engineered Chryslers for the U.K. market, and now comes payback. The 2012 Lancia Voyager goes on sale in Europe this month, and if it looks like a Chrysler Town & Country Limited, well, that's because it is.
Save for some rather tastefully applied badging identifying the upscale Italian brand - and the removal of the TC's chrome bodyside molding - we're hard pressed to see much difference between the U.S. and Euro versions of the people mover, at least on the surface. Underhood, however, Lancia will be offering a 2.8-liter common rail turbodiesel that's unavailable in the States.
While the diesel is only rated at a meager 163 horsepower, its 265 pound-feet of torque is more than the Pentastar V6 gasoline engine, which is also an option overseas. Fiat says the diesel Voyager is good for 30 miles per gallon in the European combined cycle; the 283-horsepower Pentastar manages just 22 mpg in this application.
This would be the place where we would normally grumble about not getting the diesel version here in the U.S., but we're not going to do that this time. After all, it's just a Chrysler minivan. See the full press release after the break.Continue reading How do you say "Chrysler minivan" in Italian? "Lancia Voyager"

"I would also like to mention the contribution of Lel Johnson whose design skills and experience have contributed greatly to improving our publicity materials and website, as well as the many others who have been involved.


Okay, so I meant to post about this a while back but it was so big and overwhelming so I didn't. I'm not sure how much to say but if you are interested in what an adoption seminar is, let me tell you a bit! By the way, some random pictures throughout to keep you entertained.
In order to adopt in BC, the government requires a certain number of hours of education about adoption. We would have done it had it been required of us or not but that is why they have these specific seminars.
It was three long days, 8am-4:30pm, of non stop listening. It was exhausting. There were all kinds of speakers. Social workers, counselors, adoptees of all ages and experiences, birth mothers, adoptive parents, international social workers etc. It was informative, emotional and affirming.
2. How awesome open adoption is. They had given examples of starting a book after the first chapter or coming into a movie 10 minutes late...not knowing what happened in the beginning affected the whole experience. It might seem hard for all the parents involved but it's not for us, it's for the child.
3. What an open adoption might look like. They are all so different. For example, birth mom could be like an aunt that you see 4 times/year or they could be someone you write to once a year or they could be someone that comes and visits every month or more. It's all decided by all parents involved.
4. I really, really feel for those that are dealing with infertility. For us, adoption was a first choice for our third child (although really `encouraged' by me having Graves' Disease). I am so thankful that I was able to experience pregnancy, labour, pushing, C-section, breastfeeding and all that jazz.
1. People assuming we are adopting to have a girl!!!! If you said this, don't feel bad. People I know and love say this all the time! I just can't believe how many times I've heard it (three times yesterday). Maybe I've even said it to someone before?! We want a baby/child. The gender does not matter. I don't know why this bothers me so much. Maybe because I was in a family of 5 girls and there were always comments about how my dad must've kept trying for a boy. Made. Us. Mad. I know some people do choose what gender they would like through adoption, but for me, it really doesn't matter. I feel like if I said I wanted a girl, it would be saying to my boys that they weren't good enough or something. Does that make sense?
2. When I say that we are adopting, some people's first response is `Why?' (with a look of confusion not interest). It's okay to ask why, but the first question?
1. People asking about the `real parents'. The child will have two sets of real parents. We are one of them.
2. People asking if Kai and Koen are his/her real brothers. Yes, they will be his/her real brothers. And they will be awesome brothers too.
I totally know what you mean about the comments/questions people would say to your dad about having all girls. My dad doesn't care and neither to we. I find it odd that people are so concerned for him that he never got to have any boys. I love reading about your adoption journey, I find it very imformative and I'm really excited for you guys!
So been there. You're awesome!!! Thanks for the update!! Super great.
Someone asked me just today if Riley "Was supposed to have been my girl"
Excuse me? He's only 2 years old, but he can HEAR YOU!
But what do you say?????
People don't actually often ask the 'real/not real' questions, even for us, who look so different from M. Sometimes, but not often enough to get me mad. I get the 'why' a tonnnnnnnnne. Why, why, why, everyone wants to know WHYYYYYY? Because we were meant to. Period. Because we love kids.
"We wanted to do our part to save the orphans in the world. What are YOU doing for the kids with no families????"
Take care and we are praying for you and your family through this wonderful journey!
I feel like I especially get the 'why' or shocked face when they find out I'm adopting a little girl with DS. I never know whether I should tell people in conversation or not. I don't want to qualify it but I also REALLY want to minimize that reaction when we actually have her.
Why is adoption such a different concept for so many people?
Beautiful eyes in the pic of you and Kai!
