Today I am excited to be able to share with you an extract from the thrilling new page-turner from the author of Say Nothing, Brad Parks.
The Last Act follows former Broadway star Tommy Jump. As his final run as Sancho Ponza draws to a close, Tommy is getting ready to give up the stage, find a steady paycheck, and settle down with his fiancée.
Read on for an extract from this fantastic sounding novel.
We spent the next few hours getting granular with the details.

"Slow down, slow down. I have no idea what you're talking about.
A while ago I read Fever City which was a fascinating portrayal of the Kennedy era (review here) Therefore I was delighted to be asked to join the blog tour for his latest novel City Without Stars.
City Without Stars is described as an epic novel. Which I have to say would normally put me off as I find in the film world that just means overly long. However I'm glad I hadn't seen that before I agreed to read it as this was absolutely fascinating and certainly not too long.
The novel is based in Ciudad Real, Mexico where a deadly war is erupting between rival drug cartels. Alongside this, hundreds of female sweatshop workers are being murdered, which policeman Fuentes believes is linked to the main drug lord El Santo. Activist Pilar is trying to take matters into her own hands and arranging protests at the sweatshops to try and improve conditions and make people take the killings seriously. She starts working with Fuentes and also gets involved with journalist Ventura. As they investigate further the name that keeps arising is that of the Padre Marcio, a local hero who is known for his work with orphans. No one wants to believe that he can be involved, yet there is evidence they can't ignore.
This was an interesting read. It's certainly not one for the feint hearted. As with Tim Baker's previous novel, this is a story that intertwines fact and fiction to create a fascinating insight into a corrupt and dangerous society. It is a violent novel, by necessity, as the world it is depicting is cruel and harsh. Yet it is also a story of hope and good trying to overcome evil.
Mainly the story is told with chapters focussing on the main characters. Yet they are also interspersed with other personalities and scenes including some women who end up victims. However despite the many characters, it is easy to keep track of and I felt the writing flowed easily. For me, one of the strengths of the novel is the portrayal of the females within it. Despite the high number of victims, there are also some incredibly strong characters that are standing up for change throughout immensely difficult circumstances.
This is an incredibly evocative novel, that is disturbing yet captivating at the same time. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a powerful story with characters that will stay with you long after the final page.
This was another free book that I picked up at the festival. It hadn't really made it onto my reading radar until I had an email from the publisher inviting me to this blog tour. The description they sent intrigued me so I dug out my copy and I am delighted to be hosting the last stop of the Fever City Blog tour.
Fever City by Tim Baker is set around three different main story lines. It starts with the kidnapping of the son of rich businessman Rex Bannister. Private Investigator Nick Alston is asked to investigate and during this investigation he meets hitman Hastings. We then meet Hastings again in 1963 heading towards Dallas. The third of the three stories is set in 2014 when the journalist son of Nick Alston is researching the conspiracy theories of the 60s and looking at the assassination of JFK. The book switches backwards and forwards between the characters and their actions.
When I was at University I studied American History and have always been interested in the whole Kennedy era so mixing in some crime and some modern day meant this book was right up my street. Interspersed alongside the kidnapping plot we get to read about numerous historical characters that are synonymous with that time. Joe Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, J Edgar Hoover, they all make an appearance as we head towards the actual assassination.
This was a thoroughly fascinating novel that kept me gripped through to the end despite the rather long length (compared to my normal reading matter) There was a lot of mixing between time frames and viewpoints which took a while to get into. However once you got into it the book flowed easily and didn't get as confusing as can sometimes be the case.
It is certainly not a book for the fainthearted as it doesn't portray the romantic gentle Kennedy's often seen. This is a much more hard boiled take on them, with some very violent scenes which is to be expected as soon as you get the know the characters a bit. Corruption, violence, mobsters – all those fascinating elements of 60's America are covered here.
This novel cleverly mixes fact with fiction and creates an interesting mix of political thriller, historical conspiracy and family drama. I would thoroughly recommend this novel for anyone with an interest in thrillers and the Kennedy assassination.

From the ashes of World War II, Rome was reborn as the epicenter of film, fashion, creative energy, tabloid media, and bold-faced libertinism that made 'Italian' a global synonym for taste, style, and flair. A confluence of cultural contributions created a bright, burning moment in history: it was the heyday of fashion icons such as Pucci and Brioni. Rome's huge movie studio, Cinecitta, attracted a dizzying array of stars, from Charleton Heston, Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn, Ava Gardner, and Frank Sinatra to that stunning and combustible couple, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
Fashionistas, exiles, moguls, and martyrs flocked to Rome hoping for a chance to experience and indulge in the glow of old money, new stars, fast cars, wanton libidos, and brazen news photographers. The scene was captured nowhere better than in Federico Fellini's masterpiece, La Dolce Vita, starring Marcello Mastroianni and the Swedish bombshell Anita Ekberg.


The old real estate adage of 'location, location, location' is embodied by the Maui Vista beyond question. This resort is located across the street from one of the best beaches on the island, Charley Young (Kamaole I), which is a popular destination for sun-bathing, swimming, and snorkeling. Also, just a block down, you will find Cove Park with its sparkling, calm waters, making it the perfect place to paddle board, kayak, fish, or learn to surf.
Sitting on 10 acres of lush, tropical paradise, the Maui Vista resort encompasses condo units ranging in size from 1 bed, 1 bath (approximately 588 square feet) to 2 bed, 2 bath (approximately 822 square feet), and most units enjoy lanais with sweeping views of the mountain and unit-dependent ocean view corridors. Amenities enjoyed by residents and visitors include 6 championship tennis courts, 3 swimming pools, and barbecue ranges. For savvy investors, this complex is approved for vacation rentals and it is popular among tourists for its affordability and excellent location. You can peruse current listings at Maui Vista or contact us for more information. Location within the complex is important, as the property is terraced, with building 3 having the highest elevation - furthest away from the road for less road noise, but also furthest walk down to South Kihei Road.
There is an increase of the HOA maintenance fees from 2018 to 2019, detailed below. To ensure that this is the latest information (no further increases to the HOA dues), contact us.

Continuity mistake: In the fox hunt scene Hippolyta is initially shown riding a horse with her dress firmly tucked under her. The following shot of her has the dress flying partially up around her waist and exposing a fair amount of flesh. The subsequent shots again have her dress firmly tucked under her.

Q: Nuxt.js vuex variable was changed but component isn't updated My project is based on Nuxt.js v2.15.8 in TypeScript. In the sign in page, it will receive user info data including email and nickname at least from server via $axios. Then I store the both values into Vuex, but the Header component isn't updated, seems like it doesn't receive any update notification.
After I got data from server, I set them into Vuex:
const { token, email, nickname } = signInResponse.data.data;
this.$store.commit('auth/setToken', token);
this.$store.commit('auth/setEmail', email);
this.$store.commit('auth/setNickname', nickname);

Here's my store/auth.ts implementation:
import { Module, VuexModule, Mutation, Action } from 'vuex-module-decorators';

@Module({
  name: 'auth',
  stateFactory: true,
  namespaced: true,
})
export default class AuthModule extends VuexModule {
  token: string | undefined;
  email: string | undefined;
  nickname: string | undefined;

  @Mutation
  public setToken(token: string) {
    this.token = token;
  }

  @Mutation
  public setEmail(email: string) {
    this.email = email;
  }

  @Mutation
  public setNickname(nickname: string) {
    this.nickname = nickname;
  }

  @Action
  public getToken() {
    return this.token;
  }

  @Action
  public getEmail() {
    return this.email;
  }

  @Action
  public getNickname() {
    return this.nickname;
  }
}

Then, you can see they are in the Vuex:

Well, in the template section of the Header component, it's:
<b-navbar-nav class="ml-auto">
  <b-nav-item-dropdown v-if="$store.state.auth.email" right>
    <template #button-content>
      {{ $store.state.auth.nickname || $store.state.auth.email }}
    </template>
    <b-dropdown-item to="auth/profile">Profile</b-dropdown-item>
    <b-dropdown-item @click="signOut">Sign Out</b-dropdown-item>
  </b-nav-item-dropdown>
  <b-button v-else variant="outline-light" to="/auth">
    Sign In / Up
  </b-button>
</b-navbar-nav>

The weird thing is, the UI won't be updated automatically, UNLESS I make some code changes to occur hot reload, value will be shown on the UI.
I also tried the computed way, it doesn't work either. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance!

While watching The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix, I'm reminded of the blatant misappropriation of pagan culture. I wasn't surprised when one of the character's pronounced Samhain "sam-hayn" rather than "sow-in." All it would take is to read the first sentence of the holiday's Wikipedia page to know that the pronunciation was incorrect.
Samhain, for those that don't know, is the Gaelic holiday from which we derive the modern day Halloween. The holiday was Christianized by pairing this new year harvest festival with the Christian holiday All Saints' Day or All Hallows' Day. All Hallows' Eve was traditionally celebrated as the end of the harvest season past which we enter into the darker half of the year.
More distressing, however, is the continual conflation of witchcraft and paganism with devil worship. Although a small minority of witches do, in fact, worship Satan, this is a belief perpetuated since the Christianization of the Roman Empire in which the indigenous religions and deities of pre-Christian Europe were literally demonized.
Take, for instance, the popular image of the devil. This cloven hoofed image of a satyr draws primarily from Greek and German belief where the satyr was held up as a guardian of the natural world.
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina continues this demonetization by having their witches worship Satan. They further this by depicting Satan as a satyr. For a show that's interested in sympathizing with witches, it shows little concern for the beliefs of those who actually practice witchcraft and paganism.
I can remember sitting on the light rail this spring next to a Wiccan woman when a Christian lady behind her began screaming, "Devil worshiper," at the top of her lungs. No doubt these poor depictions of pagans contributed to her fear and anger.
Despite the fact that Sabrina rejects Satan's influence, the insinuation is enough to continue the perpetuation of these assumptions.

Project FAST
FAST code system
One of the main objectives of the project is to build and maintain a code system for neutronic, thermal-hydraulic and mechanic analysis of the static and dynamic behaviour of the fast-spectrum cores and the whole reactor systems for different coolants, fuel types and forms, cooling system designs, etc. This code system allows to analyse in a systematic manner: 1) open and closed equilibrium fuel cycle; 2) fuel base-irradiation behaviour; 3) a wide variety of transients. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2005.06.002
Heat transfer to liquid metals
We analyzed four sets of experimental data (total of 658 data points) for heat transfer to liquid metals flowing in a triangular or square lattice of cylindrical rods for a wide range of Peclet numbers, using a number of correlations recommended for liquid metal flowing in tube bundles. A new correlation as a best fit to the data was derived. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nucengdes.2008.12.014
Analysis of selected Phenix end-of-life tests
The end-of-life tests performed at the Phenix sodium-cooled fast reactor present a unique opportunity to validate computational tools used for static and transient analysis. The FAST code system (including ERANOS and TRACE/PARCS) has been used to analyze test data from the static control-rod-shift experiments and from the dynamic natural circulation test. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2012.05.035 and http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2012.05.036
Neutronic analysis of BFS-62 experiments
The BFS-2 critical facility at the Institute of Physics and Power Engineering (Russia) was designed for validation of fast reactor codes and nuclear data. The BFS-62-3A critical benchmark experiment was a mock-up of the BN-600 sodium-cooled fast reactor core. We developed and validated a 3D full-core heterogeneous model of the BFS-62-3A critical benchmark experiment using the Monte Carlo MCNPX-2.4.0 code and the ERANOS-2.2 code. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2012.01.011
Pressure drop for sodium flow
An accurate prediction of pressure losses across fuel bundles under both single- and two-phase sodium flow conditions is necessary to simulate sodium-cooled fast reactor behavior during transients in which boiling is anticipated. We assessed and implemented in the TRACE code, friction factor models for wire-wrapped fuel bundles as well as local pressure drop models for grid spacers. We used experiments conducted at the Joint Research Centre, Ispra for validation. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nucengdes.2011.07.009
Fuel cycle for molten-salt reactor
We studied the iso-breeding closed Th-cycle parameters as a function of the fuel-to-moderator ratio for single-fluid MSR core. The results show two potential options for an iso-breeding single-fluid MSR core. It is the graphite-free fast MSR reactor (100% salt) and the thermal MSR reactor around 15% of salt share in the core. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2013.08.007
Core physics of molten-salt fast reactor
We analysed core physics and fuel cycle options for the molten-salt fast reactor (MSFR). This system is a promising option for uranium-233 breeding and Th-supported burning of transuranic elements, showing improved safety parameters compared to other fast reactors. Nearly actinide-waste-free energy production can become possible with 60% of MSFRs and 40% of liqght-water reactors. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pnucene.2013.06.006
Thermal-hydraulic ADS Lead-bismuth Loop (TALL)
TALL is a medium-size experimental facility at KTH (Sweden), to study the thermal-hydraulics performance of lead-bismuth-cooled reactors and accelerator-driven systems (ADS). A number of transient experiments was performed, demonstrating excellent natural circulation performance of the system. Using the TRACE code, we simulated the tests and validated the computational models. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nucengdes.2006.01.006
Drift-flux model for heavy liquid metal/gas flow
The gas lift pump concept based on the bubbling of an inert gas into the primary reactor coolant to enhance natural circulation is considered in a number of PbBi-cooled reactor concepts. We analyzed five sets of available void fraction data for heavy liquid metal / gas flow and proposed a drift-flux model which provides a best fit to the data. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/18811248.2004.9726427
Transient analysis of MEGAPIE
Megawatt pilot target experiment (MEGAPIE) was performed at PSI with the aim of demonstrating the feasibility of a liquid lead-bismuth target for spallation facilities at a maximum beam power level of 1 MW. The thermal-hydraulics data measured during the MEGAPIE experiment was used for the TRACE code qualification for transient analysis of liquid metal cooled systems. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2007.12.006
Analysis of MEGAPIE reference accident
The TRACE model was applied to the analysis of the reference accident, resulting from the hypothetical loss of a Pb-Bi inventory and subsequent cooling down of the target with free convection of the atmospheric air. The final conclusion made on the basis of the work is that MEGAPIE in the reference accident meets the 1 mSv criterion. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nucengdes.2007.12.004
Brayton cycle machine for decay heat removal in GFR
Decay heat removal (DHR) is a key safety and design issue for the Generation IV gas-cooled fast reactor. We developed a preliminary design of a Brayton cycle machine in order to to remove decay heat in case of depressurization of the system down to atmospheric pressure. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nucengdes.2011.10.011
Heavy gas injection into GFR
Decay heat removal (DHR) is a key safety and design issue for the Generation IV gas-cooled fast reactor. We investigated the natural convection capability of the dedicated DHR loops under depressurized conditions while injecting a heavy gas (nitrogen) into the system. We showed that when a guard vessel is used in the design the nitrogen injection can help to remove decay heat in case of a large break in the primary system and the station blackout. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nucengdes.2010.05.030
Analysis of gas loop tests
Several gas-loop experimental programs were carried out during the 1970-1980s at the Eidgenössisches Institut für Reaktorforschung (EIR, now PSI). To qualify the TRACE code for the gas flow simulation, we re-analyzed a wide range of thermal-hydraulics tests for smooth rods. We found that the built-in TRACE heat transfer and friction correlations are indeed quite suitable for simulating the Gas-cooled Fast Reactor conditions. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2010.01.020
Development of control system for GFR
We developed the control assembly pattern for the Gas-cooled Fast Reactor and analyzed the related 3D static and dynamic behavior of the core with ERANOS and TRACE/PARCS, thus contributing to the GFR design development and safety analysis. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2008.09.008
Analysis of plate-type fuel for GFR
One of the fuel designs considered for the Generation-IV Gas-cooled Fast Reactor is a ceramic plate matrix with a honeycomb inner structure containing small fuel cylinders. The fuel is mixed plutonium-uranium carbide, while the matrix material is silicon carbide. We developed a thermal-mechanical model of this highly innovative fuel using a simplified approach of the FRED code, supported by a detailed finite-elements modeling of one fuel pellet. http://dx.doi.org/j.anucene.2007.03.009 and http://dx.doi.org/j.anucene.2009.01.015

Nomura's new 81,755m2 / 880,000ft2 European Headquarters building in the City, One Angel Lane, is located on the foundations of a redundant 1960's telephone exchange between the present river embankment and the line of the Roman Wharf.
Six storey timber shading structure of 350mm x 350mm sustainably sourced green European Oak shades the building while allowing uninterrupted views through the floor to ceiling glazing.
Major elements of the riverside elevation are six storey timer shading structure, twelve storey triple skinned South elevation, and five storey carbon neutral building with its responsive timber louvres, to define and animate the public spaces.
Eastern façade is clad in ceramic dot-matrix glass generated from pixilated images of river surface. Vertical recess marks one of two balconies on East elevation.
Six and twelve storey internal spaces bring light deep into the building and give clear views across new South West facing public space to river.
Massive inclined columns distribute structural loads to existing hard spots in the original basement. A pedestrianised Angel Way extends below the buildings to create a covered link to the riverside bar, restaurant and walkway. Orange glass marks the doors to the reception.
River frontage of Watermark Place viewed from the replica of the Golden Hind on the south bank of the Thames.
The South West square links to a pedestrianised Angel Way and an extended Riverside Walk, and combines to form the largest riverside public space between the Houses of Parliament and the Tower of London.
Shared materials and floor levels that fall with Angel Way. Reception is a visual extension of pedestrianised public space. A single palette of materials is extended to internal common spaces.
Timber shade structure reflected in full height South facing glazing overlooking the river.
This context is a key architectural generator and also allows the creation of new riverside pedestrian areas and roof terraces with spectacular London vistas. Public space has been more than doubled.
The scheme is projected to use half the energy of benchmark office projects with a 40% CO2 reduction and the South East element of the building is predicted to be carbon neutral in operation in peak conditions when coupled with the roof top photovoltaic array.

Online networking currently is continually changing, and there appears to dependably be another "next enormous thing" hitting the streets, which means yet one more social networking record to set up and manage, By using this social media you can send the information as a centralized data source to the multiple clients at the same time.
I can't bind the exact feeling that hits me when I attempt to quantify just how much time and strength my partner and I routinely commit to our organization's web vicinity, and Pride.
Internet promoting opens up some incredible opportunity for individuals to build exposure, generate new leads, and develop their practices. As is the case with adding any new aspect of your business, then again, there is a considerable time and energy investment needed.
Look at the quality and improvements of your online media. Your normal rankings and expense for every click are two markers that can help distinguish in case you're in the most effective spot on the web search tool. While holding the most obvious paid spot has its clear advantages, marketing campaigns among them, numerous organizations find that these spots are not the most effective. So screen your expenses for every transformations closely.
Of course, you don't need to handle each part of web advertising on your own, and it may not be in your best enthusiasm to do so. One of the most ideal approaches to spare a huge amount of time and energy is to contact proficient help. You make the main part of your cash, charging customers. It might possibly be best to put your focus there while paying a master.
The foundation behind any great online market-analysis technique is Google Analytics. Since setting up this service is both simple and free, there is truly no result not to have a record, whether you purchase cash with Google or not. When you do this, keep in mind to set up the greater part of the lead capture form so you can track leads/transformations to see exactly what is attracting in your guests.
Don't let yourself (or your merchants) get self-satisfied with great results. Even after sales climb, it's essential to stay active and responsive. One approach to battle stagnation is to ask that your sellers plan consistent meetings with you. Essentially, simply you've approached your merchant for new thoughts or opinions.
You need to be analyzing your online marketing results about over sequential periods, consider some events such as holiday and industry upturns/downturns can enormously influence the accuracy of your understandings. Apply the same level of stringency to regions, for example, backlinks and rankings. Such as that all months are not equivalent, nor are all backlinks or search areas. Evaluate new backlinks from quality to avoid from getting pegged by Google and think about utilizing an IP proxy to separate between your customized list items and those of your target clients.


Short courses in the use of data inversion algorithms and analysis of lidar data are given since 2006. The courses are held for researchers of EARLINET stations that operate 3+2 lidar systems and/or Raman lidar and Sun photometer. Recently we started training as invited experts in the framework of ITaRS.
The training courses take place on average 1-2 times per year and last 1-2 weeks. So far we offered training courses in Germany, Greece, Italy, Romania, and Spain. Some courses were also held in Japan and South Korea. We plan to establish more regular training courses at our laboratory at CACP in the coming years.

» The Stories » David Bowie's Prayer.
David Bowie's Prayer.
On 20th April, 1992, David Bowie knelt down on the stage in front of 72,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in London and prayed The Lord's Prayer aloud, and unashamedly. The number of people who saw and heard that prayer via TV link would have numbered in the millions.
The occasion was a tribute concert for Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. Mercury's bandmate, guitarist Brian May, was confused and shrugged his shoulders, adding, "He didn't do that in rehearsals." The rock'n'roll world just didn't get it, and Bowie was in the firing line again.
So what was happening? Bowie knew that he would be criticised by so many with no faith or of other religious convictions. He also knew that he wasn't praying just any prayer, he was praying the very words of Jesus Christ that are repeated by believers in millions of churches worldwide every week. These words are not prayed by those of other religions, only Christians. Bowie also knew that Jesus Christ claimed to be the Son of God, that Christians the world over believe Christ to be God incarnate, 'God made flesh' if you will. What on earth was this man up to? Did he want to lose most of his fans?
David Bowie, rock legend, artist and one time unabashed bi-sexual, was now deliberately identifying with Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. In the 1980's he had also upset the gay rights agenda in the US by refusing to stand as an icon for them. He had recently told reporters that he had only flirted with bi-sexuality and was now a confirmed heterosexual. All of this was just so un-rock'n roll. If anyone wanted to reduce his album sales by the millions then this man was going the right way about it. Something was happening in the life of this musical genius that he was happy to share with the world, and it was not what anyone expected.
The struggle is real, but so is God.
David Bowie, musical genius, died of liver cancer on the 10th of January 2016. On the same day, David's wife Iman posted on her Instagram page,
So this God stuff wasn't just from David. Both David and his wife had been on a faith journey together. Just a few days later, Britain's Daily Mirror published an article with the heading, 'David Bowie didn't fear death after turning to God following terminal cancer diagnosis.'
There were also a few articles from 21st century bigots suggesting that Bowie was definitely not a Christian because he didn't express his beliefs the way they did. But there's nothing new here. Some 1st century bigots dismissed Jesus Christ as a fraud because he was not like them. If we try to put God in a box, we will end up in very big trouble. And it is likewise impossible to clone every example of Christian awakening! I propose that we let this story speak for itself. Something very powerful and very like God's way of doing things has happened in David Bowie's life over a period of more than 20 years.
Bowie was not the kind of believer you could place in your 'converted rockstar' box alongside rock'n'rollers Pat Boone and Cliff Richard, but I wonder what God thinks about it? I wonder what God thinks about the man who had the courage to kneel down and pray the Lord's Prayer, the very words of Christ, on stage at Wembley Stadium. I wonder how many of us would do that?
The Soundtrack of Our Lives.
David Bowie's first hit was "Space Oddity' in 1969. If you are in mid-life like me, then his music has been part of your life since you were at junior school. His last hits were rocking the charts in 2016 as I watched my youngest child finish her university education. His music has become something of a soundtrack of our lives. In the autumn of 2015 I played through my double CD of his hits one day while I was packing for our move from the UK to New Zealand. I even prayed for him while I was listening. I didn't know at the time that Mr Bowie would die in a few weeks, but God knew and I wasn't the only one praying for David Bowie on that day. There was something about the man which was intriguing. There was something about his search for God that every Christian could identify with. And there was something about his boldness when he unashamedly knelt down on a stage in front of 72,000 people and prayed The Lord's Prayer that all Christians need to grasp. Criticise his dress sense, criticise his music if you don't like it, but never criticise his courage when he knelt down and prayed that prayer in front of so many people. That was just so not rock'n'roll! That was just so not what anyone expected from David Bowie.
Those who were close to Mr Bowie say that he had researched into Buddhism and Christianity and during his life. In 1982 Bowie and Mercury had a number one hit single together with 'Under Pressure.' They remained friends and the death of Freddie hit David hard. Friends say that he had been searching for God for many years, but became even more deeply spiritual as he dealt with the prospect of his own death.
Look up here, I'm in heaven
So did David Bowie really find God? Is he in heaven? We could rely upon our own preferences of what a 'Christian shape' actually looks like, or we could see what God himself says in the bible;
Those who honour me I will honour, but those who despise me will be disdained. (1 Samuel 2:30)
I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. (Proverbs 8:17)
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:16-17)
Was David Bowie searching for God? It certainly looks that way. Did he honour God when he prayed the Lord's Prayer on his knees before 72,000 onlookers? Did he honour Jesus Christ when he prayed the prayer Christ gave the church in front of the masses? I reckon he did.
The Daily Mirror (UK) reported what some of those closest to the legendary rock star had said recently. They said that David Bowie had been questioning 'organised religion' (mainly Christianity) throughout his career. According to close friends it had been a great source of comfort and strength towards the end. He also reportedly told one friend when he was battling cancer, "You don't get any atheists on the battlefield."
His parting gift was the album Blackstar, which was released to coincide with his 69th Birthday in January. The second single Lazarus was named after the bible miracle where Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. The song starts with the line, "Look up here, I'm in heaven."
In early interviews, he was known for his controversy and avant-garde philosophy. But in interviews over more recent years, Bowie regularly discussed his search for a higher spiritual meaning;
"Searching for music is like searching for God, they're very similar. There's an effort to reclaim the unmentionable, the unsayable, the unseeable, the unspeakable, all those things, comes into being a composer and to writing music and to searching for notes and pieces of musical information that don't exist. Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always."
Following his prayer at Wembley, Bowie was questioned about his actions. His answer was;
"In rock music, especially in the performance arena, there is no room for prayer, but I think that so many of the songs people write are prayers. A lot of my songs seem to be prayers for unity within myself. On a personal level, I have an undying belief in God's existence. For me it is unquestionable."
Looking towards older age and the future, David Bowie concluded;
"All clichés are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God."
So, we cannot be certain of the condition of any person's heart, only God knows that. But I am left with an intriguing question; how many other rock stars do you know who have got down on their knees in front of a huge live audience from all religions and none, and prayed the Lord's Prayer without the slightest inhibition?

Heather's Dance Company is locally owned and directed by Heather Reed. Beginning in Fowler 24 years ago, the studio has grown from one teacher in a cafeteria, to a teaching staff of 7, including 2 adult instructors and 5 student instructors and assistants. The studio has recently downsized to 1 studio room that keeps busy dancing, tumbling and twirling 5 days a week.
Heather's well trained and professional staff keep their dance education up to date by participating in professional workshops and competitions throughout the year. Although current on all the latest dance trends and choreography, Heather's Dance Company does not always teach the latest and greatest.
Director, Heather Reed feels very strongly about teaching students to be confident in their body type but to also be modest in how students move and portray themselves around others.
All classes are uniquely designed to encourage an appreciation and interest in dance and music. While sharing the love of dance and the love of Christ with students, staff strives to provide a fun, enthusiastic & nurturing environment for all ages of students.

Education in Macedonia Fights to Make the Grade
In recent years, increased assistance from the U.S. has greatly improved education in Macedonia.
Macedonia is a relatively small country north of Greece, with a population of just over two million. While its economy is considered stable on a large scale, corruption and lack of a strong legal system contribute to an unemployment rate of 30 percent.
Macedonia developed a positive relationship with the U.S. after gaining its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. Since then, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has worked to improve the country's economic and democratic stability.
Although education in Macedonia has improved (98.5 percent of individuals are literate), the country lags behind other transitioning countries. Macedonia's 2015 PISA scores in reading, mathematics and science were among the lowest in the triennial survey of worldwide educational systems.
Since 2002, USAID has collaborated with the Macedonian Ministry of Education and Science. Together they focus on developing reading comprehension and ethnic integration skills, as well as improving the learning atmosphere for those with disabilities.
The Interethnic Integration in Education Project works to encourage educational environments that do not discriminate based on ethnicity. Through community outreach, faculty training and renovating schools as an incentive, the U.S. European Command has reached 63 schools.
Another USAID-funded project, Readers are Leaders, strives to improve literacy and numeracy competence in primary school-aged Macedonian students. Results show that the project's interactive system has aided the performance of more than 1,500 students.
USAID helps fund two more programs, one specifically for visually impaired students. By carrying out preventative eye-screenings of young children and equipping resource centers with Braille textbooks, the Children with Visual Impairments Project helps give equal access to education to visually impaired students. The Social Inclusion through Technology project helps disabled students develop the skills to find employment and work in information and communication technology.
Education in Macedonia is taking increased priority in the country's government agenda. In 2015, the Macedonian Ministry of Education and Science began a campaign to provide scholarships for students to travel and study abroad.
The Ministry also encourages international students to attend its universities and has nurtured a reputation as a historically rich and ethnically diverse setting for furthering one's education.
Through existing programs and continued cultivation, it is hopeful that education in Macedonia will continue to improve.

4 Ways Poverty Impacts the Hepatitis Epidemic How Students Plan to Reduce Neonatal Mortality in Nigeria


Cyber Security for Aspiring Practitioners is a cyber security training course that will prepare students for a career in cyber security. The key lessons are taught through illustrations and practical demonstrations of daily activities of a typical cyber security professional in an enterprise environment. This enables students to picture themselves in a job position before actually landing one. Unlike several other cyber security courses available on the market, CSAP 301 provides a fair balance between content and context, which enables students to retain the knowledge gained and also appreciate how their efforts will enable business objectives.
Regardless of your background, as long as you have keen interest in the field of cyber security, you will benefit immensely from this course.
In this module, students will learn about the fundamentals of cyber security and why it has become such an important field. Just as every organization needs physical security guards to protect its premises and other prized physical assets, every 21st century organization needs cyber security practitioners to adequately protect its information systems and other digital assets that are used to drive its business. In this module, we will examine how cyber security activities support the business objectives of organizations in eight (8) different industry verticals. Among other things, we will discuss career opportunities, possibilities, and professional certifications in addition to introducing students to key elements that determine the effectiveness of any cyber security program.
This module is packed with a lot of information about the motivations of threat actors and enterprise defenders. Effective threat and vulnerability management is arguably the best tool in the enterprise defender's arsenal. Through six (6) real-world data breach case studies, student will learn from mistakes of victim organizations and become highly informed as to the most effective ways to reduce the likelihood of a successful cyber attack. Among other things, we will take a deep dive into cyber threat modeling and vulnerability management lifecycle.
In this module, we look at the concept of defense in depth (DiD) and take a deep dive into its practical application. Digital assets require multiple layers of defense around them in order to reduce the risk of successful compromise. Students will be introduced to different DiD domains and corresponding security technology products that can be leveraged to thwart possible attacks against every layer of defense.
Security incidents are inevitable–it's a matter of "when" rather than "if" an incident will occur. When the incident eventually occurs, however, it is important to know what response actions are necessary. In this module, we will cover typical incident response phases, critical factors affecting the effectiveness of incident handling, incident severities and prioritization, practical (real-world) incident response examples, as well as key elements of incident response services as offered by specialist external incident responders. We will also introduce the student to the field of identity and access management (IAM) by explaining common IAM services and how they're typically used.
Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) is a combination of three complementary functions that help an organization (or department within an organization) meet its business objectives. A cyber security program without the right governance structure (i.e., direction and assurance that security management functions are being consistently performed) will not be delivering its intended business value. Similarly, the ultimate goal of every cyber security program, and indeed practitioner, is to reduce the risk of data breaches to acceptable levels. Risk is often expressed as a combination of two key attributes, namely the likelihood of a certain event occurring and the impact that such an event could have on the achievement of business objectives. Compliance helps ensure adherence to internal security practices and standards, as well as mandates from external regulatory institutions. This module introduces the student to the field of Governance, Risk Management and Compliance as it relates to cyber security.
The mission of every security professional is to ensure, as much as possible, that the adversary is kept out of his/her network. In an ever changing threat landscape, this is a tough ask. However, ensuring rapid security posture improvement is a realistic task. One of the ways by which this can be achieved is through constant evaluation of implemented defensive layers. In this cloud-based environment, students will gain hands on experience implementing different cyber security controls while also testing their effectiveness. The security controls in this lab cover most of the defensive layers discussed in Module 3 so this is where the student really gets to experience different threat mitigation techniques that cyber security practitioners adopt "on the job". This module introduces the student to the field of Governance, Risk Management and Compliance as it relates to cyber security.
Successful students will be awarded the DIGISS Certified Cyber Security Associate (DCCSA) certification, which is currently going through accreditation with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Take the first step on to the cyber security career ladder. It is a bold step and one that you will undoubtedly come to appreciate.


I remember my first children's literature class as an undergraduate majoring in elementary education. I had always been a reader, but hadn't really thought much about children's books since I'd read them as a child. I picked up my assigned readings (Bridge to Terabithia and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry) at the university bookstore, and then went right to my room and began to read. I'd had no idea that children's literature had become so powerful since my own childhood, and I was immediately hooked. I could not wait to share these books with my students once I became a teacher.
The message in the children's literature class was a strong one. Our children deserve high-quality books: books that change who they are and that help them see the world differently. And I wholeheartedly agreed. From that moment on, I believed that the children's books that really mattered were those that tugged at your heart. The books that would be most important to my students would be the books that made them sigh, gasp, cry, and live with the characters long after they had finished the book.
When I moved from fourth grade to third grade last year, I was a little anxious about the books. I knew that most third graders were transitional readers, and many of the books they enjoyed were not those "high-quality" texts that I had learned about in my children's literature class and have loved ever since. I knew I would miss those books that my fourth and fifth graders had devoured. But I dug in and filled my classroom library with series books that seemed to be a good match for transitional readers. Even though I never fell in love with these books, they engaged my students as readers.
In May, we will celebrate our year of reading. Each day, one person from our class will choose something they read this year and we'll celebrate it together. Pick a picture book, a scene from a chapter book, a nonfiction section, a poem, an article, a post . . . anything that you want to celebrate as a reader this year. It can be something from a book you've read on your own or with friends, or it can be one we've read together in read-aloud.
Is there a book that you loved?
Is there a book that helped you grow or change as a reader?
Is there a scene that touched your heart and changed you as a person?
Is there a book that introduced you to your newest favorite author?
Is there something you read that made you interested in something new?
On your assigned day, we'll share your book or excerpt with the class. You can read it aloud or I will read it and you can share with the class the reasons you chose this particular piece or scene.
I had invited students to celebrate one book in past years, but this was my first year asking third graders to do this. I had no idea what to expect from the celebrations. Honestly, in the end-of-the-year craziness, I thought it would be a good way to share books and reflect a bit. But that was about the end of my expectations.
Well, the celebrations definitely exceeded my hopes. The thought that my students put into their choices was incredible, and what I learned from their celebration will stay with me as we move into the new school year.
These books I considered shallow, that were not quite the high-quality literature I know, changed my kids' reading lives in ways I hadn't anticipated. Each day as a child shared, I was reminded of the brilliance of the authors who write for young children—authors who know just what a child needs to continue their reading journey.
Max shared the effect of The Chicken Squad. He said that he had never read a book independently that was written in first person and that this book taught him that he could do this.
Julia read James Preller's Scary Tales and it was the first scary book she'd tried. It set her on a hunt to find more scary books, as she'd become hooked.
Hannah tried the first book in the Whatever After series and realized that there were fractured fairy tales that were not picture books. This book led her to other series and authors who played with stories she knew well.
Drew read A Week in the Woods by Andrew Clements and realized he had the stamina to read longer books. He went on to read more books by Clements, who became a favorite author.
Julius read Magic Bone. He had not been a fantasy reader, but he liked books about dogs, so he had picked this one up. The dog hook helped him realize he could be interested in some fantasies after all.
Ben celebrated The Chocolate Touch because it was the first book he tried because he saw others reading it. After that, he started to pay attention to what his friends were reading.
Melissa shared The Babysitters Club because it was the first book that reminded her of herself.
As each child celebrated, I realized how often I try to rush my students' journeys as readers, push them to books they are not quite ready for, encourage them to read the books I love. Through the month of celebrations I came to love these books that I wasn't so excited about at the start of the school year. I don't love them in the same way that I love Bridge to Terabithia, but I love them because they are the right books for my third graders.
I learned as I have over and over again to trust my students to make good choices as readers. Now as I work with a new group of third graders I value these books, not because they received awards, or are deemed high-quality literature, or because they changed my life. I value them because they are the books my students need at this critical time in their reading lives. These are the books that meet them where they are and help them grow as readers, changing their lives and hearts.
Shari Frost is alarmed when she realizes how rarely children of color are represented as main characters in book series. She decides to compile a list of multicultural series books.

Q: Indexing HTML div classes in JavaScript I am trying to compare two values of different div classes using the data attribute.  I have multiple div classes like these two, all with different data-vale:

Every div class will also receive a unique order using cards.style.order
In a JS function the user will select two cards (firstCard,secondCard) and the function should check if the value of firstCard is one greater than the value of the card with order 1 more than secondCard.
Here is the code I have been trying to use:
const cards = document.querySelectorAll('.card');

if(firstCard.dataset.value === cards[cards.indexOf(secondCard)-1].dataset.value)

cards is an array housing all of my div classes.  One of the errors I received told my that indexOf is not a usable function here.  I think this may be because the div classes are not actually part of an array and I need a different method to find the 'value of' something rather than the 'index of'.
For example, if a row of cards goes 2D,7S,9D,8H,3D,  the user can click 3D for firstCard and 7S for secondCard.  The function will verify that the value of 3D is one greater than 2D and will swap the positions of 3D and 7S.

A: I made my little snippet with auto-generating squares that can be moved as you suggested. You might check it out. If something is not okay, you might point it out, maybe I forgot something.

let cardsArray = [{
  "value": 7,
  "color": "red"
 }, {
   "value": 6,
   "color": "yellow"
 }, {
   "value": 5,
   "color": "green"
 }, {
   "value": 4,
   "color": "red"
 }, {
   "value": 3,
   "color":  "yellow"
 }, {
   "value": 2,
   "color": "green"
 }, {
   "value": 1,
   "color": "green"
}]

// Function to automatically generate some squares
function drawSquares() {
  let squaresParent = $("#squaresParent");
  squaresParent.empty();
  let lCALen = cardsArray.length;

  for (let i = 0; i < lCALen; ++i) { //make it efficient for checking length
    // Creating a text object for display purposes only
    let newText = $('
').append(cardsArray[i].value);

    // Creating a new card
    let newCard = $('
').attr({
      'data-value': cardsArray[i].value,
      'style': 'background-color:' + cardsArray[i].color,
      'index': i,
      'class': 'card'
      }).append(newText);

    squaresParent.append(newCard);
  }
}

drawSquares();
assignEvents();

let firstCard = null;
let secondCard = null;

function compareAndMove(fC, sC) {
  //console.log("Switching...");

  let firstCardIndex = fC.attr("index");
  let secondCardIndex = sC.attr("index");

  let beforeSecondCardIndex = 0;
  if (secondCardIndex > 0)
    beforeSecondCardIndex = secondCardIndex - 1;

  let firstCard = cardsArray[firstCardIndex];
  let secondCard = cardsArray[secondCardIndex];
  let beforeSecond = cardsArray[beforeSecondCardIndex];

  if (firstCard.value - 1 === beforeSecond.value) {
    let temp = firstCard;
    cardsArray[firstCardIndex] = secondCard;
    cardsArray[secondCardIndex] = temp;

    drawSquares();
    assignEvents();
  } else {
    fC.removeClass("selected");
    sC.removeClass("selected");
  }

  //console.log("Exiting...");
}

function assignEvents() {
  $(".card").click(function() {
    //console.log("Card clicked");

    if (!firstCard) {
      firstCard = $(this);
      firstCard.addClass("selected");
      return;
    }

    if (!secondCard) {
      secondCard = $(this);
      secondCard.addClass("selected");
    }

    compareAndMove(firstCard, secondCard);
    firstCard = null;
    secondCard = null;
  });
}
.card {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;

  border-radius: 10px;
  border: 1px solid black;
  display: inline-block;
  text-align: center;
  margin: 5px;
}

.selected {
 border: 3px solid black;
}

body {
  background-color: #ABCDEF;
}

A: I think you are looking for something like this..

var currentCard = $(".cards").first();
var currentCardInd = $(currentCard).attr("index");

$(".cards").on("click", function(event){
    if(currentCard && parseInt(currentCardInd) < parseInt($(this).attr("index"))){
      currentCard.attr("index", $(this).attr("index"));
      $(this).attr("index", currentCardInd.toString());
      $(this).swapWith(currentCard);
      currentCard = $(".cards[index='"+$(this).attr("index")+"']").next();
      currentCardInd = $(currentCard).attr("index");
    }
});

jQuery.fn.swapWith = function(_with) {
    return this.each(function() {
        var copyWith = $(_with).clone(true);
        var copyOrig = $(this).clone(true);
        $(_with).replaceWith(copyOrig);
        $(this).replaceWith(copyWith);
    });
};
.cards{
  padding:10px;
  background-color:lightblue;
  display:inline-block;
  cursor:pointer;
  border-radius:5px;
}

#card-7S{
  background-color:lightgreen;
}
#card-9D{
  background-color:lightyellow;
}
#card-8H{
  background-color:lightgray;
}
#card-3D{
  background-color:lightpink;
}

A: The problem with the code is that querySelectorAll() returns a NodeList which behave as an array but it is not really an array.
The same problem happens with getElementsByClassName() this one return an HTMLCollection which behave as an array but does not include all the prototypes functionalities since it is not really an array.
So you have several options to get the index, after getting the index you can get the element that is before it.
Use call or apply to trick the Array methods
`Array.prototype.indexOf.call(cards, second)`

Iterate manually
`let selectedIndex = 0;
for(let i =0; i < cards.length; i++){
  if(cards[i] === second){
    selectedIndex = i;
  }
};
console.log(selectedIndex)`

Create an array using cards NodeList
const cards = document.querySelectorAll('.card');
   const cardsArray = Array.from(cards)
  if(firstCard.dataset.value ===
  cardsArray[cardsArray.indexOf(secondCard)-1].dataset.value)
Use any library to select the element that returns an array, as jQuery

A: Array.from is the canonical way to get an array of elements

Thalapathy63: Title and first look to be launched on Vijay's birthday
Makers of Vijay's Thalapathy63 have decided to make his birthday special.
Siddarthsrinivas January 24 2019, 1.11 pm
Thalapathy Vijay has already started shooting for his big Diwali release which has been tentatively titled Thalapathy63. The team began it all with a grand pooja on Sunday, and have started off the principal shoot by canning an action sequence. Vijay was recently spotted coming to Binny Mills in the early hours of the day, to shoot for these particular portions. Fans are continuously keeping an eye on the progress of the film, as it becomes a huge challenge for the team to execute their plans without any kind of mobbing.
Owing to the regular practice, it looks like the title of the film and the first look posters will be unveiled on the actor's birthday, which falls on the 22nd of June. With a grand release planned for Diwali, it would be the perfect time to start off the promotional run which will be followed by the teaser and the audio launch.
Vijay is said to be playing the role of a football coach in the film, training and motivating a team of girls and helping them win a championship. An important part of the film will be shot in the UK, where the team had conducted a location recce last year. Academy award winning musician AR Rahman composes the music for the film and is expected to bring in an amazing soundtrack as the film lies in his zone.

The Campbell Diaries, Part 1: 'Bagpipes'
MAY 4, 1997: Moved into my Number 10 office today. Needs some decor. Will bring portrtait of Bob Maxwell from home. TB wants to 'hit the ground running'. Told him to shut the fuck up and do as he's told. Peter Mandelson has ordered a pommel horse for his office. God only knows.
MAY 17, 1997: Have taken up running. Helps stoke my aggression before I face the Lobby. Michael White from the Guardian is getting on my tits again. Would anyone really miss him if he just disappeared? Had a chat with Gordon today. Out of his fucking mind. Lovely bloke. Best of luck to him. Told Tim Allen to leave a burning bag full of dogshit on Max Hasting's doorstep.
JUNE 14, 1997: Leak a story to the Evening Standard diary about Princess Diana fancying me. She does. Oh yes. So do the Spice Girls and Patsy Kensit. TB wants me to push the 'Cool Britannia' theme. Told him to shut the fuck up and do as he's told. Peter Mandelson's office is now full of black leather and little Greek statues. What's that about?
JULY, 25, 1997: Bernie Ecclestone is very short. I mean, he's half the size of me. Maybe that's what drives him. He seems to get the birds as well. (Big cock?). Anyway, it turns out the million quid was a bribe after all. TB wants to give the money back, for a while at least. JP (John Prescott) doesn't have a problem with fag adverts but that's because he's proper working class. Told Tim Allen to leave a burning bag full of dogshit on Peter Hitchen's doorstep.
AUGUST 24, 1997: Michael White has finally gone too far. Called me a bully and a psychopath. He has no cocking idea. Currently have him gagged and locked in a cupboard in the Cabinet Office while I ponder my next move. Suspect he'll change his tune after 20 minutes with me and my 'bagpipes'.
Blue Peter Editor Will Make Pets Fight
BLUE Peter will make its pets fight on screen if viewers don't pay its £50,000 fine for faking a competition result, the show's editor said last night.
Roger Morton will set Mabel the rescue dog on Shelley the tortoise if viewers do not pledge at least £10,000 by the end of the week.
Mabel and Lucy the Golden Retriever will then go head-to-head in the Italian Sunken Garden if the full £50,000 is not donated by the end of July.
Phone-in scams, extortion and dog fights have become increasingly common in the Blue Peter studio since the show was taken over by Triad gangs in 2003.
Mr Morton said Blue Peter was only caught because of a 'stupid fucking speccy girl' who had visited the show.
"We had got clean away with our little scam until that frumpy cow dropped us in it. It was a kid who ratted on us, so it's the kids who have to pay."
The editor said children could send in old milk bottle tops and plastic bottles 'if they must', but he was more interested in pocket money and parent's credit card details.
He added: "Parents probably don't want their children turned into bedwetting neurotics by having to witness a much loved animal being eviscerated live on TV."
Viewers could also raise money by running their own fake games at school or kidnapping their friends' pets and holding them for ransom, he said.
The BBC gave it's full backing to the latest Blue Peter fundraising appeal.
A spokesman said: "The alternative would be for us to ask the licence fee payer to pay the fine and that would just be an insult, wouldn't it?"
