What is the worth of the handbag?
It is important that you are aware of the general price of an item when shopping. Well, you might say: "the brand of the handbag will determine its price" you are right; but, you still need to guesstimate the price despite the brand. If you are harmed with this information, it can help you immensely online, if you are shopping for a handbag on eBay for example, the information you have with you will help you to keep on bidding till you get to a reasonable price, you will know when you are getting ripped up.
Another advantage is that it will give you some sort of a measuring stick to know how much of a deal you are getting. Let me illustrate; lets imagine you walked to Shopping Mall hoping to get a handbag and you saw a bag with a $100 price tag, checking further you discovered that the bag was not a designer or even a name brand. You need to get out of there with speed. Why? $100 price tag for a no name handbag is a bad deal, it will be wiser if you just spend that huge amount on a popular brand that is well trusted by customers worldwide. So, be wise, do not allow yourself to be cheated with a $100, useless, no name handbag from Shopping Mall! Please don't do it. If you are willing to spend like a $100 on a handbag, then go for popular brands like; DB,Coach, XOXO and others. These brands can be trusted and they have satisfied customers worldwide, you won't be making a mistake going for these brands. However, if you do not have that kind of money to spend, let's say you walk into Shopping Mall and you find a handbag with a price tag of $25, if the quality of the bag is good, like it's not made of plastic or toothpick, then you can go for it, you have found a good deal!


I created an FME workbench which reads an esri line feature class thethen assigns a color based on an attirbute to create a KML file that is color coded. I want t to put this up on my fme server. at the moment it only reads a specific feature class file from a folder on my c:.
In future I would like to run my workspace on FME server and throw any feature class or file GDB into my C: folder and if it has the attribute field to assign colors then the process will run and create the color coded Kml.
I'm not sure what transformer to use for the input and what other options I have in FME server to upload the file.
you could use a generic reader to read all file types. Also you could use a 'Path and Filename'-reader to see what is available on C:\ and use a FeatureReader to read the files you want to read.
Next you could use a TestFilter to test whether a color column is present. However you will need te define something to test for colour values. Because there are a lot of possible color-codes that will be hard.
A possibility to check all values is to use an AttributeExploder that will create sets of 'attribute name'-'attribute value'. That way you can check every value, but again you will need to think about how to check against color coding. If it always has the same built-up, you could check on that using 'Contains Regex'.
Ok, thanks @lars_de_vries, kind of got it.
If you go to the Writer settings in the Navigator pane, you'll the option to 'Fanout Dataset'. If you set this option to 'yes' and choose the fme_feature_type attribute as your Fanout Expression, you'll get a KML for each feature class in the GDB.


Fish Pepper Fry, a delicious fish fry recipe flavored with peppercorns and some aromatic indian spices. Last week,while browsing youtube,i came across this recipe from healthy food kitchen channel and i loved the making process and by knowing the ingredients list,i'm sure that it would be delicious.So immediately i bookmarked it to try. When we had brought salmon fish today, the first thing came to mind is this pepper fry and i tried it for our lunch along with rice and rasam.I have changed few things from the original recipe to suit our taste and as expected it turned out super delicious and i'm sure from now onwards i will make this often. Now let's see the recipe.
First clean the fish and cut into thin strips, add a pinch of turmeric powder and enough salt of fish and mix well. Place the fish pieces in the steamer plate and steam it for 10 mins. In the mean time, dry roast the ingredients listed under "To roast & grind" till it becomes aromatic,remove from the flame and let it cool. In the mean time, chop the onions into small pieces and slit the green chilies and keep it ready.Now put all the roasted ingredients into the mixie/blender jar and grind into fine powder. Heat the pan, add 1 tsp of ghee along with oil.Add the onions,chilies and curry leaves, saute till the onions becomes translucent. Then add the grounded masala powder and salt(just enough for masala) and give a good mix. Add the cooked fish pieces and the remaining ghee. Gently mix the fish pieces with the masala. Let the fish be in the medium flame for 3-5 mins and by the time, you can also see the oil around the edges of the pan,at this stage,remove from the heat. Tada, your tasty Fish Pepper masala is ready.
The mentioned quantity of masala gives medium spice. You can add more or less as per your liking.
Once the fish is added into the masala, gently mix, otherwise the fish pieces would be broken.
You can use any boneless fish for this recipe.

Arizona Democrats Say Kyrsten Sinema Protecting 'Antiquated Rule' Instead of Constituents
By Xander Landen On 1/13/22 at 5:54 PM EST
News Kyrsten Sinema Filibuster Voting Rights U.S. Politics
The Arizona Democratic Party criticized Senator Krysten Sinema Thursday, after she reiterated her support for the Senate filibuster, delivering a major setback to President Joe Biden and Democrats who want to change the rule to pass voting rights legislation.
In a floor speech on Thursday, Sinema, a Democrat from Arizona, said she supported the voting rights bills—the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act— but that she "will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country."
"There's no need for me to restate my long-standing support for the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation. There's no need for me to restate its role protecting our country from wild reversals in federal policy," Sinema stated.
In response to Sinema's speech, the Arizona Democratic Party issued a statement on Thursday afternoon.
Its chair, Raquel Terán, said that last year, the party "recognized that we cannot claim to be advocates for civil rights while maintaining the filibuster, which is why we took a strong stance in support of ending the filibuster in order to pass much needed voting rights legislation."
"This is not a divisive issue, this is about the future of democracy. Without the protection of voting rights, democracy fails," Terán stated.
"We are disappointed to say the least that Senator Sinema has chosen to protect an antiquated rule over her constituents."
In September, the Arizona Democratic Party pledged to hold a vote of no confidence against Sinema if she opposed filibuster reform.
In a speech on Tuesday, Biden urged legislators to change the Senate's filibuster rule—which requires chamber to reach a 60-vote threshold to advance legislation—to pass the voting rights legislation. He argued that the rule "has been weaponized and abused" and that it "is not used by Republicans to bring the Senate together but to pull it further apart."
The Arizona Democratic Party criticized Senator Krysten Sinema Thursday, after she reiterated her support for the Senate filibuster, delivering a major setback to President Joe Biden and Democrats who want to change the rule to pass voting rights legislation. Here, Sinema speaks during a United States Senate Committee on Finance hearing to consider Chris Magnus's nomination to be Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection on October 19, 2021 in Washington, D.C. Pool
"While the state legislatures' assault on voting rights is simple—all you need in your House and Senate is a pure majority—in the United States Senate, it takes a supermajority: 60 votes, even to get a vote—instead of 50—to protect the right to vote," the president said.

Sinema isn't the only Democrat who is opposed to changing the filibuster rule. Senator Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, has also defended the filibuster.
"We need some good rules changes to make the place work better. But getting rid of the filibuster doesn't make it work better," Manchin told reporters before Biden's speech on Tuesday, according to The Hill.
With only 50 members in the Senate, Democrats would need both Manchin and Sinema's support to pass changes to the filibuster.
Newsweek reached out to Sinema's office for comment.

On the Tower of Babel and the Confusion of Tongues
"Many attempts have been made to attach the legend of the confusion of tongues to certain ruined towers in Babylonia, especially to that of E-Sagila, the great temple of Merodach, and some remarks upon this most interesting tale may not be out of place at this point. The myth is not found in Babylonia itself, and in its best form may be discovered in Scripture. In the Bible story we are told that every region was of one tongue and mode of speech.
As men journeyed westward from their original home in the East, they encountered a plain in the land of Shinar where they settled. In this region they commenced building operations, constructed a city, and laid the foundations of a tower, the summit of which they hoped would reach to heaven itself.
It would appear that this edifice was constructed with the object of serving as a great landmark to the people so that they should not be scattered over the face of the earth, and the Lord came down to view the city and the tower, and he considered that as they were all of one language this gave them undue power, and that what they imagined to themselves under such conditions they would be able to achieve.
So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence over the face of every region, and the building of the tower ceased and the name of it was called 'Babel,' because at that place the single language of the people was confounded.
Of course it is merely the native name of Babylon, which translated means 'gate of the god,' and has no such etymology as the Scriptures pretend,—the Hebrews confusing their verb balal, 'to confuse or confound,' with the word babel.
The story was no doubt suggested by one of the temple towers of Babylon. Over and over again we find in connexion with the Jewish religion that anything which savours of presumption or unnatural aspiration is strongly condemned. The ambitious effort of the Tower of Babel would thus seem abhorrent to the Hebrews of old.
The strange thing is that these ancient towers or zikkurats, as the Babylonians called them, were intended to serve as a link between heaven and earth, just as does the minaret of the Mahommedan mosque.
The legend of the confusion of tongues is to be traced in other folk-lores than that of Babylon. It is found in Central America, where the story runs that Xelhua, one of the seven giants rescued from the deluge, built the great pyramid of Cholula in order to besiege heaven.
The structure was, however, destroyed by the gods, who cast down fire upon it and confounded the language of its builders. Livingstone found some such myth among the African tribes around Lake Ngami, and certain Australian and Mongolian peoples possess a similar tradition."

This lavishly designed, colour illustrated biography, written by one of O'Regan's long term colleagues, is the first to examine in detail the extraordinary achievements of this remarkable patriot.
Mary McAleese, President of Ireland, succinctly captured the character of Brendan O'Regan as follows: 'a true visionary who leaves a legacy that permeates throughout all levels of economic, social and cultural life in Ireland'.
This authoritative biography of O'Regan sets out that legacy in a well researched and compelling narrative. It is essential reading for anyone seeking a well-founded and original perspective on the evolution of Irish industry, aviation and tourism over the last seventy years.
Author, Brian O'Connell, and collaborator, Cian O'Carroll, knew their subject well through Shannon Development (SFADCO), the regional development agency O'Regan first headed. With good foresight, they persuaded him, at the age of eighty-seven, to record orally his personal memories of the events and the many prominent personalities in Ireland and abroad he met and dealt with.
O'Connell's biography combines this oral account with interviews of nearly 100 of Brendan's contemporaries and extensive original material from Irish state archives. It makes an invaluable contribution to the history of those transitional years between the era of creating statehood and modern Ireland.
Brian O'Connell is a former director of Shannon Development (SFADCO) and a former chairman of Shannon Heritage, which operates a network of cultural tourism venues such as Bunratty Castle and Folk Park. The latter company is now a subsidiary of the Shannon Group which owns Shannon Airport as well as the portfolio of commercial properties previously owned by Shannon Development. As Chairman of Shannon Heritage, O'Connell initiated the publication of an oral archive of the memories of Brendan O'Regan, in 2004. His biography John Hunt, The Man, The Medievalist, The Connoisseur was published in 2013 and he co-authored the biography of Tipperary man, General Sir William Carrol, published in Spanish in 2009.

McFeely: Go to the camp, Gov. Dalrymple, and talk
FARGO--You should have visited Cannon Ball by now, Governor. Maybe you still could. It might help clear up some things, for all of us. You might have noticed, but possibly not, that we have two distinctly different narratives being pitched about ...
Gov. Jack Dalrymple gives a speech about the continuing investment of unmanned aircrafts at the Grand Forks County Building in Grand Forks, ND on July 6, 2015. (Grand Forks herald/ Joshua Komer)
Opinion by Mike McFeely
FARGO-You should have visited Cannon Ball by now, Governor.
Maybe you still could.
It might help clear up some things, for all of us.
You might have noticed, but possibly not, that we have two distinctly different narratives being pitched about the protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline and the gathering of Native Americans at the Sacred Stone Camp. It's confusing for many.
Perhaps, as the state's leader, you owe it to the people to help them figure out what is really happening. Seeing things with your own eyes and visiting with people your administration has helped demonize could help.
On the one hand, we have people who have visited the encampment who say, to a person, Sacred Stone is peaceful and spiritual and moving. They admit there might be some bad actors among the protesters pushing back against the construction of an oil pipeline under the Missouri River just north of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, but those looking to cause trouble are in the vast minority.
On the other hand we have state officials, conservative media commentators and others who are hell-bent on painting a picture of lawlessness and danger; that the camp and protest site are a tinderbox ready to explode.
Which is true? Or at least close to being true?
The problem is, Governor, the actions and words of your administration haven't helped. When you declared a state of emergency a few weeks ago and said the protest was a "significant public safety concern," yeah, that kind of made people nervous.
When your lieutenant governor, Drew Wrigley, used a well-read interview with the Grand Forks Herald to be alarmist and paint the protesters with a broad brush as criminals, yeah, that didn't help either. Wrigley used phrases like "very serious," "very significant and challenging," "extremely dangerous," "very, very concerning," "hundreds of criminal acts," "life-threatening federal crimes," "talk of weapons," "unlawful, intimidating, dangerous."
Words matter. So maybe you could saunter on down to the camp and exchange some with your state's citizens, face to face, the old-fashioned way.
I posed this scenario to Wrigley the other day on my 970 WDAY radio show. Why doesn't the governor go and meet the campers?
"People should ask the other question," Wrigley said. "When there is an unlawful encampment, should the reward of all this illegal activity be the state of North Dakota sending down its governor to hear the protesters? No. The governor has spoken repeatedly with tribal leadership. We have almost daily interaction on behalf of the governor. We've met with top-level emissaries and at some points the leader of the Standing Rock Sioux. So there is an open and ongoing dialogue."
But if the goal is to diffuse tension and ensure a peaceful outcome, couldn't a good-faith meeting go a long way toward that?
"I don't know who you'd meet," Wrigley said. "I guess it would be a roving meeting. Just walk around and meet with everybody and hope that you've met with every faction."
There's that tone again, Governor. Dismissive. Aggressive. Overly so, kind of like the rent-a-cops with attack dogs and pepper spray we saw last weekend. Who thought that was a good idea? Maybe that's another face-to-face meeting you should have, one with the executives of the pipeline company. They're not helping.
We will learn much when a federal judge issues a ruling on the Standing Rock tribe's call for an injunction to stop construction on the pipeline. That is expected Friday, Sept. 9. No matter which way the ruling goes, if the campers and protesters respond peacefully at Cannon Ball then perhaps it is time to drive south from the Capitol and meet some of the people who deserve respect.
Then again, Governor, you've called for a dozen armed National Guard troops to support law enforcement in anticipation of the judge's ruling. Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
I've not been to Cannon Ball, so I don't know where the truth lies. We might find out when news of the ruling breaks.
If the reality of the Dakota Access Pipeline protest and camp is the one being conveyed by those who've visited, it would behoove the governor to make a show of good faith. Visit. Listen. Talk. It would convey a message much more calming than the one your administration has pushed thus far.

You might think you've traveled back in time the minute you drive onto the Cabana Bay Beach Resort property! As soon as you drive up, you may want to bring out the groovy style from back in the day, thanks to the 60s and 70s nostalgic themed resort.
One of the first things, when traveling, I think about are the accomodations. I, for one, do not want to stay somewhere that is boring and claustrophobic feeling. Thankfully, Cabana Bay Beach Resort had me in mind when creating their new digs. With two different room options to choose from, you are pretty set to have plenty of room. They have a standard room, which sleeps up to four, I haven't checked out this type of room yet, but I am sure they are amazing. The family suite is where I had the chance to stay and room enough for a family there was! With two queen beds in the "bedroom" area and full size pull out in the living room, this sleeps up to six.
The family suite offers a divider between the bedroom and living room. Also, in the family suite is a kitchenette with a sink, coffee maker, bar, microwave and mini-fridge. So, if you are looking to save a little money on eating out, bring bread, lunch meat, and enjoy dining in your retro room. Another important feature to this room is the bathroom area. What I love about this is you have the sink and a mirror, but then on each side there is a door. One door goes to the bathtub/shower area which includes another sink and mirror, while the other door goes to the "potty room". So no having to wait to get ready while one person showers or wait to shower while someone is using the restroom!
The fun amenities offer enough to do, you may forget to even check out the theme parks. With two pools, one of which has an awesome water slide, and a stand alone lazy river, there is a pool everyone can enjoy. For little ones who may not want to be in the pool, there is a splash play area. If you need a break from floating the river, enjoy playing pool, checkers, have a hula hoop competition, play ping-pong, or take on one of the many other activities found outside at Cabana Bay. A "beach resort" wouldn't be true to name without a "beach" which is why the sandy areas make me feel like I am right at home on my own beach.
If you need a break from the sun, Cabana Bay offers fun indoor activities as well. Take the kids to the arcade or enjoy a friendly game of bowling like our group did. I love Galaxy Bowl, it's a fun way to spend time with friends. We had a blast bowling and while there we had an early dinner. The food was great!
If you are on an adults only trip, like we were, you might want to chill and have a drink…of adult nature. Thanks to several bars located both inside and near the pools, that's entirely possible. It's a great place to unwind from a long day or get the party started before heading to CityWalk. When it's time to wind down, if you are on a family friendly trip, or just want to keep it low key, Cabana Bay offers movies on the lawn. Enjoy watching some great classics (likely ones you will find rides based on at the parks) out by the pool, under the stars, while all the neon lights of the resort are lit up around you!
Cabana Bay Beach Resort offers food, fun, shopping, and much more. At prices starting at $99 and ranging up to $174 per night (depending on time of year, room size, and days you stay), this resort is affordable. The fact they offer enough to keep you from even having to go theme parks at all is just a bonus. So, are you ready to get nostalgic and go back in time on your next Orlando vacation. If so, be sure to check out Cabana Bay Beach Resort, for a groovy good time!

For the Love of Bass Guitar – Dan Maines of CLUTCH
Clutch, Featuring Bassist Dan Maines – What's In Store for 2016
Clutch is one of the world's most respected and influential hard rock bands, released their 11th studio album PSYCHIC WARFARE on October 2nd which debuted at #11 in Billboard Top 200 as well as #1 in both the Rock and Hard Rock Charts.
What's in store for the first part of 2016?
On Saturday April 16th, the band released a 12" vinyl for Record Store Day. It is a standalone piece containing two previously unreleased tracks from the Psychic Warfare sessions: "Mad Sidewinder" and "Outland Special Clearance". These two tracks, specifically mastered for this vinyl configuration by Paul Logus, will be on side A. The reverse side will have a large scale etching taken from the Psychic Warfare CD booklet design created by Dan Winters. The jacket is hand numbered thick clear plastic showing the full art design, thus making this piece for Record Store Day 2016 a unique collectors' item for all Clutch fans.
Also for the first half of 2016, "Clutch, the influential heavy rock band from Maryland has just announced new North American tour dates as "special guest of" Lamb Of God. The tour starts May 3rd in New Orleans at the Orpheum and will also feature Corrosion Of Conformity on all dates. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday February 12th. Additional dates on the Lamb of God tour and Clutch headline tour dates in May and June will be announced shortly. In addition to the Lamb Of God dates, the band will be playing select US festival dates and have added an additional Melbourne show on their March 2016 Australian tour."
Maryland rockers Clutch have been pushing the boundaries that define heavy rock music since the 4 original members got together in high school. Clutch is an unmatched musical force that has been best described as "the quintessential American Rock Band". Clutch released their tenth and latest studio album Earth Rocker via their own label Weathermaker Music on March 16, 2013. The album entered the Billboard Top 200 chart at #15 giving the band their highest chart position to date.
Clutch's Earth Rocker reached #1 on the Rock Chart and #4 on iTunes' overall Top 100 album chart. Earth Rocker was awarded "Album of The Year" by Metal Hammer and garnered a Top 10 spot on Rolling Stone's "Top 20 Metal Albums of the Year". Rolling Stone further enthused: "Four Maryland lifers — road dogs who've been grinding since the early Fugazi administration, cranking out seething admixtures of jam-band chops, careening blues-punk riffs and singer Neil Fallon's nerdy, piss-taking wiseass lyrics — release their hardest rocking set to date. Look for a go-go break (and some clever punning on the phrase "drop the bomb!") on "D.C. Sound Attack!" Inspirational verse: "If you're gonna do it/ do it live on stage/ or don't do it at all."
The band formed in 1991 and proudly have the same unit in place 25 years later.
Clutch are:
Neil Fallon – Vocals/Guitars
Jean-Paul Gaster – Drums
Dan Maines – Bass (Rickenbacker 4003 basses with Ampeg SVT amplifiers and Dunlop Bass-Wah pedal and Monster cables)

        BasicSalaryField.setText(BS);

    }
    } catch (SQLException e ) {

}

}

A: you are doing
   pst=conn.prepareStatement(sql);// Prepare this sql query for me
    pst.setString(1,EmployeeIDSearchField.getText());// Attach this value as first parameter
    rs = pst.executeQuery(sql);// IGNORE EVERYTHING, Execute this query

you should do pst.executeQuery(); on the third line instead.
EDIT
Totally read over the fact it was a select. you should just do executeQuery without the string query.
P.s. for greater speed use column indexes(integers) instead of column names in your rs.next() loop.

A.S. eyes BMU postal service
Mailing a package may become as easy as dropping by the campus bookstore, if Chico State University's student government follows through on plans to contract with a private postal service company.
The Associated Students Business Committee's recent meetings have been filled with talk of such a contract, under which a local company, or even an out-of-town business, would rent out space in the Bell Memorial Union to ship packages and sell stamps for students.
During the last couple of days, it looked like a deal was shaping up between the A.S. and Chico Box & Postal Center, which already operates on Walnut Street.
"It's still kind of preliminary," said Mike Ober, who co-owns the business with Pamela Moody. "I think it would be a good service to the students," he said, plus a way to boost exposure of his business, which already has a strong student customer base.
At March 12's Governmental Affairs Committee meeting, Tiffany Yost, the A.S. vice president of business and finance, reported that she's hopeful a contract will be signed and the service can move into a space on the Galleria floor of the BMU by spring break—just three weeks away.
At the March 6 ASBC meeting, members discussed renting out either 340 square feet of the BMU or 200 square feet of the bookstore. When the A.S. sent letters to local postal services, only Chico Box & Postal, said it might be interested. Then, a company named Postal Annex contacted the A.S. about possibly opening a franchise.
If a business were to rent out the space at $1.85 per square foot and also collect 20 percent of the gross sales, the A.S. would receive $4,370 net profit per year from a 340-per-square-foot contract. If the space in the bookstore were used, however, a lower rent and no sales percentage cut would yield only $840 per year in profit. The committee members were having a hard time deciding exactly how much to charge for this because it's rare to rent out space to non-A.S. businesses.
But it's not about turning a huge profit, Yost said. "This is a service we must provide," she said, referring to a survey. "Ninety-seven percent of students want this."
Yost recently visited UCLA's bookstore as part of a conference and learned that matching services to students' wants is what made that school's student government a $75 million corporation.
Although a contract with Postal Annex would provide for more services such as photocopying and mail boxes, the out-of-town business would not be able to move in anytime soon and would also not offer the 20-percent sales cut to the A.S., although it would likely pay higher rent.
Business Professor Shekhar Misra offered ASBC members some suggestions on how they could figure rent in future contracts with private businesses (The A.S. has also considered adding a dry cleaning drop-off counter). "You look at the market rate and modify your cost according to budget; you can't just base it on cost to [the A.S.] alone," Misra said.
The current asking rent is based on a comparison with the Chico Mall. John Lydecker, the A.S. vice president of facilities and services, said, "The problem is that there is completely no comparison to the market value because it's an unequivocal monopoly. It's smack in the middle of campus."
Despite the small setbacks, the ASBC members sounded excited about the idea of a postal service in the BMU. "Conceptually, it makes sense," Misra said.

2000 – Gardaí arrest a man in connection with the bombing of Nelson's Pillar in O'Connell Street, Dublin, in 1966.
A man claimed to have blown up Nelson's Pillar in the centre of Dublin in 1966 was arrested and questioned by police. Liam Sutcliffe was ordered to present himself at Store Street Garda station in the Irish capital.
Under the Irish Republic's Offences Against the State Act, he could be detained and held for 72 hours without charge. In April, Mr Sutcliffe stated on Irish radio that he had blown up the famous landmark, a symbol of British rule. He was subsequently questioned by gardaí but refused to give information about who else was involved.
The IRA was blamed for the 1966 attack on the 134ft Nelson's Pillar. The bombing was assumed to have been timed to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1916 Easter rebellion.
The pillar was partially demolished but much more damage was caused to shops and premises on O'Connell Street when the Irish Army subsequently attempted to clear the monument's remaining stump.

Many times I get to experience profound thoughts, ideas, and feelings during readings. I have shared some of these experiences with close friends and family. They are always amazed and I am too. By sharing some of them in this space, I hope you find something special as well.
"You have guided with care souls out of darkness, out of fear, out of personal insecurities toward self realization and a future of unlimited potential. You have opened your heart and mind to those that might have stayed closed without your careful guidance. Through your instruction, the world will be forever changed. For the energy that you have put out selflessly will echo in the hearts and minds of many now and many more to come. Do not doubt your mark. You have made it and continue to make a world of difference everyday. You help us all to believe there are things so much greater in ourselves and beyond ourselves. Yet,do you know how important you are? Do you know the importance of you? You must understand that you should be celebrated! Be kinder and gentler with yourself and celebrate your glory!"
"Remember that which the body cannot use will be washed away. That what the mind cannot hold will be forgotten or worse pushed aside for a simpler idea that may be false, but easier to hold onto. Give them steps towards a level that they can attain, before leading them to greater heights. For some, the first steps are into a world unknown to their heart and beyond their present perspective."
"Though it is wise for each of us to look honestly at our true selves, many prefer to look upon the walls and the shields as strengths rather than what is behind or under them. They rather forget the truth and only perceive the protections. When forced to see or when they realize that what was hidden can be seen by another, such as you, anxiety grows. Do not let their unwillingness to see be your source of fear. You are merely the light. It is up to them to do with as they will with what they see. Let go of fear! There is no room for fear in your light. You dispel the darkness by your mere presence. "
"There are many that are not ready for change or willing to see that change is upon us. For them, the struggle will be internal and arduous. The knowledge is so important for life to continue towards the path of truth and self expression in that truth for the health and well being of humanity."
"Acceptance is a key to the door that leads you out of the frustrating situation you find yourself in. Acceptance is different from forgiveness. It is not needing change from the other. It I doesn't require the other to accept responsibility. It is merely done each and every day. Acceptance of the person does not mean allowing actions that are unacceptable or hurtful to go unanswered in a response appropriate to the circumstances or issue."
"Trust in the light. Darkness is but fog of the mind attempting to understand that which cannot be understood yet. Yet, is not forever. Yet is now. Understanding comes with experiences that confirm and deny things that must be clarified before steps forward can be taken. Advancement only comes when all is in the right place and time. You want to force what is into being instead of growing into what is. Growth however means not losing it. Force is but momentum that can be reversed. Growth cannot be reversed. Growth is what will serve you and those you wish to help best. You know this to be true. You cannot push that which is not developmentally appropriate beyond itself. You must see the markers of growth before the next steps can be taken. "


Knit and purl are used in stitching clothes and they are often combined together. Though both are used in a fabric, there is only a slight difference between Knit and purl.
The main difference between knit and purl is in the style of stitching. In Knit stitch, the needle goes inside up and behind the stitch. On the other hand, in purl stitch, the needle goes down and in front of the stitch.
A stitch done by knit method has almost a V shaped formation and flat. But a stitch done by purl method forms a small horizontal bar and bounces out a little.
Well, a stitch done in the purl method can be called as a reverse of a knit stitch and vice versa. In such a case, a purl stitch on one side will look like a knit stitch from the other side.
Usually knit stitch is used to make stitches in the front part or the part that is visible outside. But purl stitch is normally seen on the back side or unseen part of the fabric.
If one has to understand the difference clearly between knit and purl, one has to look into how both the stitches are done. In knit stitches, the right needle is placed behind the left needle. The yarn is wrapped counter clockwise on the right needle and behind the left needle and this forms a loop. The yarn should be pulled through the loop and this makes the stitch.
In purl stitch, the right needle is placed in the front of the left needle. The yarn is wrapped counter clockwise on the left needle and round the right one, which makes a loop. Pull the thread through the loop.
1. The main difference between knit and purl is in the style of stitching.
2. In Knit stitch, the needle goes inside up and behind the stitch. In purl stitch, the needle goes down and in front of the stitch.

Brood parasitism is a form of kleptoparasitism. Brood parasites manipulate the behaviour of the host so that the host raises the young of the parasite instead of the host's own young. A well known example of brood parasitism in birds is that of the cuckoo.
There are also many species of insect brood parasite. For example, cuckoo bees that lay their eggs within the brood chambers of other solitary bees. The young of the cuckoo bee then eats the pollen store and often the egg of the host species.
Brood parasitoids are parasites that kill the host's offspring during the course of their own development.

NBA Christmas Day games: Stream Warriors v. Suns, Nets vs. Lakers and more on ABC and ESPN – CNET
It's cold outside, which means that action on the basketball court is sizzling hot. Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors has finally gone past Ray Allen to become the all-time 3-point leader in league history, while his team and the Phoenix Suns are pacing the NBA in wins. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets are fighting with the Chicago Bulls and the Milwaukee Bucks for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
While the action on the court has been exciting, the drama off the court has only intensified due to the most recent COVID-19 surge. The Brooklyn Nets have had their last three games postponed as a number of players entered the league's health and safety protocols — including stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving (Harden has since been cleared to return).
But Brooklyn is far from the only Christmas Day team impacted by the pandemic. The Bucks, Hawks, Celtics, Lakers, Knicks and Warriors have all had major players go on the health and safety protocols list recently, with the Mavs on Wednesday announcing that star Luka Doncic is the latest big name to go down.
Even with some major stars out, the league has gone ahead with its highly anticipated slate of Christmas Day games. Here's the remaining schedule, with all games airing nationally on ABC and/or ESPN.
Golden State Warriors versus Phoenix Suns, 5 p.m. ET (2 p.m. PT) on ABC
Brooklyn Nets versus Los Angeles Lakers, 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on ABC and ESPN
Dallas Mavericks versus Utah Jazz, 10:30 p.m. ET (7:30 p.m. PT) on ESPN
Although this is the lineup for Christmas Day, NBA fans looking to follow the drama and stream their team's games throughout the rest of the season will need access to a few channels to catch every second of the season. ABC and ESPN will combine to televise 101 games, TNT will air 65 and NBA TV will have 107. All out-of-market games will continue to air on NBA League Pass, which is a great choice if you follow a team in a different city from where you live. Local fans won't be able to able to watch their team play on League Pass, as broadcasts of local games air exclusively on regional sports networks.
While you absolutely don't need cable to watch basketball this year, it still might be the easiest and cheapest choice depending on where you live.

Live TV streaming services vs. cable
Die-hard sports fans are beholden to regional sports networks, or RSNs, that carry the majority of the games for their local team. These RSNs are usually included in local cable packages, so most cable subscribers never have to worry about gaining access to the broadcasts on these channels: They can simply turn on the TV and watch the game.
Cord-cutting basketball fans have a tougher path. Because of rights agreements, most live TV streaming services like YouTube TV or Hulu with Live TV don't carry many RSNs. DirecTV Stream is the exception. It has nearly every RSN, particularly the Bally Sports channels (formerly Fox Sports) offered by Sinclair, but you'll need to spring for its $85-a-month plan.

Ultimately, depending on your location, getting a cable subscription that includes ESPN, TNT and the local RSN might actually be cheaper and easier than streaming — especially if it's bundled with the home internet you'll likely be getting anyway.

NBA League Pass, NBA TV and blackouts
For NBA fans looking to watch a ton of out-of-market basketball, a subscription to NBA League Pass has a lot to offer. You can get the whole NBA slate for $199 for the season, with commercials and one device, or $249 for the season with in-arena feeds instead of commercials, and the ability to watch on two devices at once. Those interested in following only a single team can buy a Team Pass for $119 for the season.
The key catch here is "out-of-market." Most fans are in-market, meaning they follow the local team, and unfortunately for them RSNs have broadcast exclusivity in the region that they cover. That means local NBA games are blacked out on NBA League Pass.
If you're living in Los Angeles, for example, you won't be able to watch Lakers or Clippers games on NBA League Pass. The same goes for Knicks fans in New York, Bucks fans in Milwaukee and so on. The only way to watch most of those home team games in your home market is to get a service that has the local RSN, namely Spectrum SportsNet, Bally Sports SoCal, MSG Network or Bally Sports Wisconsin.
Services like NBA League Pass use IP addresses to block out games in viewers' regions — you'll just get a black screen if you try to watch those games. That's why League Pass is ideal for those who want to follow one or more of the teams based in cities other than their own, aka out-of-market teams, but for local fans it's not as useful.
In another twist, the NBA TV network will broadcast 107 games this season that will be considered national for those out-of-market. This means that you will still be able to watch your local team play on your RSN, but viewers around the country will need NBA TV in order to watch the game — it will be blacked out on League Pass.
Luckily, League Pass subscribers have the option of adding NBA TV to their package for an extra $60 a year or $7 a month. This is most likely one of the cheapest ways to get NBA TV for the out-of-market fan.
YouTube TV is the only live TV streaming service that includes NBA TV in its base channel lineup. DirecTV Stream, FuboTV and Sling offer the channel only on higher-priced tiers or in special add-ons; see below for details.
DirecTV Stream: Best for fans of the local team at $85
For those determined to watch their local basketball team without a cable or satellite TV subscription, a live TV streaming service is the best bet. While it is pricey, DirecTV Stream is the best option for most people, particularly those where the local games air on Bally Sports networks.
Below is a chart of all of the NBA teams in the US and their corresponding RSNs.
Note: None of the (US-based) services carry the RSN for the Toronto Raptors. Fans looking to watch Fred VanVleet and co. need to use NBA League Pass to get all the games that are not either on your local RSN or on a US national broadcast.

Some key takeaways:
The RSNs above are typically only available to local subscribers. Refer to the individual service's details below to find out if you live in a place where you can receive a particular RSN.
DirecTV Stream's $85-a-month Choice package includes NBA TV and all of the RSNs for basketball, with the exception of NBC Sports Philadelphia. Sixers fans hoping to watch Joel Embiid pulverize the competition will have to look elsewhere.
They could jump over to FuboTV, Hulu Plus Live TV or YouTube TV, which all carry NBC Sports Philadelphia, but fans of other teams will mostly be out of luck. FuboTV only offers 10 RSNs for basketball, while Hulu Plus Live TV and YouTube TV only have six. Sling TV doesn't offer a single RSN.
One other note: If you don't recognize the name of some of these channels, don't worry. As mentioned, the Fox Sports RSNs have been rebranded as Bally Sports, because the channels are no longer owned by Fox but Sinclair, which has since partnered with casino group Bally's to rename them.
DirecTV Stream is expensive. It's the priciest of the five major live TV streaming services, but it's also the one with the most RSNs. Its cheapest, $70-a-month Plus package includes ESPN, ABC, TNT and TBS. You'll need to move up to the $85-a-month Choice plan to get any available RSN as well as NBA TV. You can use its channel lookup tool to see which local channels and RSNs are available in your area.
Best options for nationally broadcast games
Aside from DirecTV Stream, the odds are long that a live TV streaming service carries the RSN for your local team's games, which makes the other four services better bets for watching nationally televised games.
FuboTV costs $65 per month and offers 10 RSNs for basketball. It also includes ESPN, but not TBS — which might be a problem for some basketball fans. But you can add NBA TV for an extra $7 a month with the Fubo Extra Package or pay for the $80-a-month Elite streaming tier, which includes Fubo Extra. Check out which local networks and RSNs it offers here.
YouTube TV costs $65 a month and offers six RSNs for basketball, along with all of the national broadcasts including NBA TV. Plug in your ZIP code on its welcome page to see which local networks and RSNs are available in your area.
Hulu Plus Live TV costs $70 a month and carries six RSNs for basketball, along with ESPN, ABC, TBS and TNT, but not NBA TV. Click the "View all channels in your area" link at the bottom of its welcome page to see which local networks and RSNs are available where you live.
Sling Blue currently lacks a single RSN to watch basketball. You can, however, use Sling to watch some national broadcasts. Sling TV's Orange plan includes ESPN, and both plans offer TBS, but neither of them gives you access to ABC.

Our teenagers need you. The Children's Society's Good Childhood Report 2017 uncovered alarming new findings. Thousands of young people took part in the survey about how many different pressures are affecting teenagers' happiness. As a mother, this concerns me greatly.
The government is cutting funding for local services that help children and I feel like this couldn't come at a worse time. Roughly 1 in 5 people in a classroom of teenagers are living with anxiety. Many anxiety disorders begin in childhood and adolescents.
My stepdaughter recently asked me to speak to one of her friends about her anxiety surrounding entomophobia which is hugely affecting her life. This friend of hers is suffering terribly and has no idea where to turn to. She is lucky to have really supportive parents but they're not sure of the best way to help their daughter.
200,000 children say they don't get enough emotional support at home.
My stepdaughter herself has also begun to have panic attacks when staying away from her family and during school. She's quite introverted but we had no idea about this until the school called Mr Lovely last week. My stepdaughter didn't know who to turn to. Her mum had told her anxiety was a load of old rubbish so she hasn't even been able to talk to her own mum about it. I'll be writing an entire post dedicated to helping support adolescents with anxiety, so I won't waffle on at this point.
The Children's Society's research shows that 1m teens have 7+ serious problems in their life. It's not fair that these children are 10 times more likely to be unhappy than those with none. But the Government is cutting funding for local services that help children. Together we can change this. Please take one minute to help: Ask the Government for more local funding to help young people before they hit crisis point: http://bit.ly/2eSptgj.
The Children's Society is a national charity that runs local projects, helping children and young people when they are at their most vulnerable and have nowhere left to turn.
We also campaign for changes to laws affecting children and young people, to stop the mistakes of the past being repeated in the future. You can find out more by visiting their website.
I think mental illness is ignored out of fear of not knowing how to deal with it for years it's been seen as something you shouldn't talk about in public . I think the more it's discussed the more people will begin to accept that it is a real illness that needs to be treated and not ignored . They should be doing more not less in my opinion.
This struck a chord with me. My 20 year old suffers anxiety and it's horrible watching him suffer.
As a 22 year old, this doesn't surprise me at all. It's great that we're becoming more open about mental illness. But we still have a long way to go regarding actually helping young people.
As a Mum to teenagers it is always in my mind that their mental health can suffer at any time. And it is so wrong to reduce funding to help those who are most vulnerable … and who are our future.
