In our latest episode of #Drink we had the pleasure of having three beer loving friends with us. Two chefs, Gunnar Jensen from Mathallen in Tromsø and Rolv Bergersen from Bergen and one sommelier who also loves to cook, Ove Svendsen of Don Pippo-fame. Our challenge to them was to taste a whole lot of Belgian beers and find out what food would go well with the beers. A challenge they happily and eagerly accepted. So, we ventured off to the best beer country in the world Belgium.
We visited six breweried: 3 Fonteinen, Rodenbach, Duvel-Moortgat, Brasserie de la Senne, De Glazen Toren and De Kroon. Our guys tasted themselves through a loooong list of beers and then they were ready for their time in the kitchen!
We travelled to the wonderful Hotel Boskapelhove just outside of Brussel. A beautiful farm that has been made into a fine hotel. Here our friends in Bapas, Karl van Malderen and Isa Van de Ven, had made ready a fantastic table of great produce. The best Belgium had to offer.
A table of fantastic produce!
If you want to know more of what Karl and Isa do check out their website www.bapas.be. They have made it into a science pairing beer and food and their website is good start if you want to find inspiration for the next time you want to cook with beer.
Our three chefs were well pleased with the ingredients they had in front of them and set about making this menue.
Marinate the eel (you can also use smoked herring if you don't have the eel) with grated ginger and kriek vinegar for half an hour (Use cherry vinegar if you don't have kriek vinegar). Finely chop equal parts of tomatoes and shallots. Spread tomato and shallot on the crostini, lay the eel on top and sprinkle on a little bit of olive oil. Finish with some coarsely ground black pepper.
Marinate finely chopped onions in raspberry vinegar and sugar for 20 minutes. Sauter mushrooms in butter, soy sauce and some Liefmans Goudenband (or another sour red/brown ale). Spread some mustard, not too spicy, on the crostini, and top with the sautéed mushrooms and pickled onions.
Fry a piece of sirloin in a dry pan. Finely chop some onions. Place on a thin crostini, sprinkle over with olive oil, sea salt, coarsely ground black pepper and lemon juice.
Make the mayonnaise but replace the vinegar and lemon juice with Oude Geuze from 3 Fonteinen. Open an oyster and finely chop it into small pieces. Spread the mayonnaise on a crostini and place the shrimps and oyster on top.
Peel asparagus and blanch with butter and salt. Make a syrup with Oude Geuze, kriek vinegar and sugar and put the asparagus in the syrup before it goes cold. Make a hollandaise sauce. Fry the fish in a pan with plenty of butter!
Fry the rabbit in butter until it gets a nice crust. Then sprinkle over some flour. Put in a boiler with a lot of Oude Geuze (remember to drink some yourself!) and simmer. Add chopped onions, leaf parsley stalks, bay leaf, some fresh thyme and whole black pepper. Add potatoes, carrots and parsley. Boil until tender. Add salt and pepper to taste. Finally add a generous amount of butter at the end.
Pickle mushroom in vinegar and syrup. Sauter it in butter with a little soy sauce and raspberry vinegar. Sauter finely chopped shallots, reduce with some Rodenbach Alexander, montér with butter. Panfry the pork tenderloin.
Reduce the beer with some sugar and finely chopped mint. Put in a freezer. Stir crème fraiche or sour cream with vanilla, sugar, lime zest and lime juice.
We had the pleasure of tasting all of these fine dishes and our favourite was the pork tenderloin with the Rodenback Charactere Rouge. All in all we have to say that the Rodenbach brewery really impressed us on this trip. It makes a lot of beer, but with an exceptionally high quality all over!


Spread Trading Mistakes: What's Your Greatest Weakness as a Spread Trader?
Spread Betting - A Gift from the Gods?
You have reached a new spreadbetting guide aimed to help educate retail investors and trading thinking about trading in spreadbetting.
Increasingly, we are seeing more and more people who want to generate an income by spreadbetting on the stock market, either as a new career or as a lucrative hobby.
Traditionally, for most investors in stocks and shares, a financial crisis, like that which has been plaguing the eurozone for most of 2011, is something to be feared. What will happen to your stocks or unit trust investments when even whole economies, like those of Greece, Ireland and Spain are reeling under the burden of a debt crisis that has still to play itself out? It all seems quite frightening, but all this market volatility provides ample opportunities for canny traders, especially those with financial spread betting accounts.
Spread betting offers traders the opportunity to speculate on a whole range of markets including indices, currency pairs, commodities and individual shares. Spreadbetting is a highly flexible alternative to traditional stock trading by allowing traders to profit from both rising and falling markets. What's more all gains are tax free which is particularly enticing in the current economic climate when tax increases seem to be the order of the day.
We live in an information sensitive age. From fixtures on the economic calendar to unexpected events, news moves prices and creates opportunities for private traders to make a profit. But whether you are a bull or a bear – some believe prices will retrace quickly once the Middle Eastern turmoil subsides – what's the best way to play the markets? On this portal, you can find all the relevant information you need to trade the financial markets and speculate on markets such as commodities, shares, stocks and more – without actually owning the underlying asset!
This trading guide starts by covering the basics of spread betting and explains why it has become such a popular method for trading a whole range of markets. Next, we explain key trading strategies and systems to help you succeed as well as highlighting the most common pitfalls of this exciting trading product.
We will try to provide all the needed tips, strategies and news, in order for you to make the higher profit from this non taxes online market.
Spread betting represents an excellent way of making big profits from small moves in the markets over short periods – when used properly. This is because spread betting is traded on margin so traders are able to gear up and control a significant position in the market with only a small stake. In fact one could say that spreadbetting is the easiest and most cost-effective way to play short-term volatility. More so, competition has really helped to underline the power of this trading product as spread betting brokers continue to develop their trading platforms in their quest to attract more clients.
Traders favour spread betting for its transparency, cash-efficiency, fast execution and flexibility the latter demonstrated by the ability to gain from a stock market decline. If you believe the value of the market you are betting on is going to rise, you can go 'Long'. This action is referred to as 'Buying' or 'Going Long'. In case the market really rises in value, you will make a profit based on the difference between the open and closing prices. If you believe the value of the market is going to fall, you can bet that the market will go down; in this case you are 'selling'. If the market did lose some of its value, your spread bet was right and you will make a profit from financial spread betting. In case the market rose its value comparing to the value before you placed your spread bet, your bet was wrong and you will lose some.
Spread betting represents a flexible way to trade on thousands of shares and financial markets. And what's more you can trade spread betting whether you believe a market will fall as well as rise. It is tax free trading although this only applies if you make money.
Spread betting involves no brokers since you are not actually trading any underlying shares; the only bet is on the direction of the market instrument. This is one of the great benefits comparing to the for and stocks market, since there are no fees to pay. The revenue you can make is 100% your revenue and you have no share to give to broker or to the market itself. The spread betting market is unique market and attracted new traders online as long as old investors which already have the experience with Forex and Stocks markets.
The flexibility of spread betting makes it the perfect choice for tackling today's volatile markets – in fact spreadbets are so volatile that even advanced traders don't always use them to their best ability. In volatile markets, prices can fluctuate wildly on a daily basis, an unnerving prospect for many ordinary stock investors. But financial spread betting thrives in this climate since the more the markets move, the more money can be made with spread betting.
Spread betters are always looking for quite sudden, sharp movements and we have particularly seen that in the midst of the credit crunch crisis in late 2008. Spread betting is a very versatile investment product which has been growing in popularity especially in the last decade. One of its attractions is that you can utilise diverse spread trading techniques to gain exposure to the financial markets, without having to take on the full risks of doing so if you are careful with money management and stop losses.
Why don't fund managers outperform the S&P 500? 'Because they're sheep and sheep get slaughtered'. Thus spoke Gordon Gekko in Oliver Stone's 1987 original Wall Street movie.
Remember: With spread betting you can potentially put forward small initial stakes that can yield big, quick returns but also risk potentially large losses. We often stumble across advertisements from trading courses teaching beginners how to make bucket loads of money through trading via spread betting. What these courses don't say is that traders require a great deal of expertise to make the potential high returns.
Remember: Telling a novice to dive into CFDs and spreadbetting without taking the time to educate oneself about the product is like telling a first year infant to look into the complete works of Shakespeare. Don't run before you can walk!

3 in 10 Ukrainians Granted Visas Have Arrived in UK: Government Figures
Fewer than a third of Ukrainian refugees who have been issued with visas have arrived in the UK, Government figures show.
A total of 71,800 visas had been issued as of Wednesday under the Ukraine Family Scheme and the Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme, the Government said.
But, as of Monday, just 21,600 Ukrainians had arrived in the UK, according to figures from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and the Home Office.
Some 32,500 visas have been granted under the Family Scheme, with around 15,000 people arriving in the UK (46% of those with visas).
And 39,300 visas have been issued under the Sponsorship Scheme, with 6,600 arrivals (17% of those with visas).
Government officials believe some people applied for visas so they have the option of coming to the UK but are staying in countries bordering Ukraine so they can return home sooner.
Others may have applied but then changed their minds, deciding to stay where they are or travel elsewhere.
And some will be waiting for everyone in their family to receive permission to travel letters or visas before they depart for the UK.
Brits wishing to host people under the Sponsorship Scheme hit out at delays, accusing the Home Office of "the dog ate your visa" style excuses.
Overall, around 107,200 visa applications had been received as of Wednesday, including 41,200 applications under the Family Scheme and 65,900 applications under the Sponsorship Scheme.
Six in 10 visa applications made under the Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme have been granted, the figures show.
Last week, fewer than than half (45%) of the applications via this route had led to visas issued.
There has been widespread concern about the length of time it has taken for visas to be issued to refugees under the scheme.
In an email sent to those registered for the Homes for Ukraine scheme last Thursday, the Government acknowledged that some Ukrainian refugees have been waiting almost three weeks for their visa applications to be progressed or for a decision, calling this "unacceptable".
It said: "We are speeding up the processing of visas and, having prioritised family visas in the first instance, we are now working to accelerate the award of visas under Homes for Ukraine."
A group of would-be sponsors in the UK said they are hearing stories of "lost visas", frustrations at a lack of information, and MPs lobbying "fruitlessly" on behalf of their constituents.
They said they are particularly concerned about a growing number of cases where some family members have received visas while others are still waiting, despite applying at the same time.
One potential sponsor said: "We're tired of the 'the dog ate your visa' type excuses the Home Office is using.
"This time-lag will cost lives. I've promised my home to a family and every night I worry that I will wake up to the news they will never be coming."
The group will hold a vigil outside the Home Office on Saturday, which will mark five weeks and one day since the Homes for Ukraine scheme started accepting visa applications.
Baroness Finlay of Llandaff said delays with the scheme have been "demoralising" for refugees and changes must be made to it so families are processed together.
The crossbench peer is offering her Cardiff home to a fleeing Ukrainian family but has waited over a month for all of their visas to be cleared.
She said it is understandable that refugees with visas may not yet want to make the journey to the UK, but they may also be facing travel issues and be put off by the UK's "unfriendly" approach to immigration, including the Government's new policy of sending some asylum seekers 4,000 miles to Rwanda.
"These are completely separate schemes, I know they are, but the overall message is not good," she said.
The British Red Cross repeated its calls for the Government to lift visa requirements so more people can reach the UK quickly.
Alex Fraser, director of refugee support and restoring family links, said the process is taking "far too long" and has "delayed or deterred many people from seeking safety in the UK".
He said: "In our view, the quickest way to help people right now is for the UK Government to stop the need for visas for those fleeing Ukraine, this would also bring the UK in line with a great many other countries who have been doing this since the start of the crisis.
"Security checks would still happen on arrival, but this would free up the capacity of the authorities to help people as they arrive, instead of wading through visa applications."
A Government spokeswoman said: "The changes the Home Office has made to streamline the visa system, including simplifying the forms and boosting staff numbers, are working and we are now processing visas as quickly as they come in – enabling thousands more Ukrainians to come through our uncapped routes."

There are numerous diseases that can affect grass. Below are some of the most common ones. Most diseases are spread by spores and relate to lawn, soil conditions and are helped if your lawn grass is in poor health. West Norfolk Lawn Care has the knowledge and products to treat and cure most problems in your lawn. We try to avoid using fungicides preferring to treat the disease by improving grass health.
Increasingly common disease usually occurs in the late summer after periods of warm weather with heavy rainfall producing conditions of high humidity. Lawns with poor fertility are highly susceptible to red thread disease. The grass will gradually show signs of browning off with brown patches of dying grass appearing and you will see red threads on the grass stalks. High humidity, poor fertility and or blunt lawn mower blades smashing the grass ends are usually the cause of red thread. Serious cases may require an application of fungicide to control the disease. The lawn usually recovers in 2/3 weeks after treatment. Avoid watering late in the evenings as this encourages disease.
These can cause various turf diseases. Fine-leaved grasses such as bents and fescues are more susceptible than rye grass species.
Snow mould occurs at cool times of the year. Brown patches appear followed by fluffy white growth.
Yellow brown patches in your lawn usually but not exclusively during autumn and a white grey coloured mould particularly in shaded areas are indications of Fusarium patch. Lawns receiving too much nitrogen feed are susceptible as are lawns on compacted soil. Aerating and ensuring the grass receives a balanced fertiliser feed program can cure Fusarium patch. Serious infections will require treatment with fungicide.
Easily identified by a circle or ring of lush green growth. Depending on the type of fungus causing the fairy ring there may be an area of dead brown grass in the middle of the circle. West Norfolk Lawn Care can advise you how to solve problems with fairy rings.
Slime moulds usually appear on dead grass as they feed on dead organic matter and cause no real harm.
If you think you have any of the above problems call West Norfolk Lawn Care.
Fungi are natures dustmen. Fungi convert dead organic matter into basic nutrients that re enter the food chain and are eventually re cycled. A few mushrooms or toadstools appearing in your lawn is a healthy indication that the fungi in your soil are active and breaking down perhaps an old tree root buried on the soil.The fungi appear on the surface and contain spores which are released into the atmosphere. If your lawn has a heavy concentration of toadstools etc then it may be necessary to treat your lawn. However just a few mushrooms here and there on your lawn will not be harmful.

Frederick Vincent Tully (* 13. Mai 1931 in Albany (New York); † 5. Mai 2005 in Sedona, Arizona), der zunächst unter dem Namen Fred Vincent auftrat, war ein amerikanischer Schauspieler. In Deutschland wurde er durch den Karl-May-Film Winnetou und Shatterhand im Tal der Toten bekannt, in dem er unter dem Pseudonym Clarke Reynolds den jungen Leutnant Cummings mimte.

Leben und Karriere
Frederick Tully, der 1931 in Albany als Sohn eines Zahnarztes zur Welt kam, hatte eine ältere und eine jüngere Schwester. Er diente bei den Marines und nahm später am Koreakrieg teil, wo er sich an den Füßen starke Erfrierungen zuzog. Nach dem Krieg war er in Washington, D.C. für das Radio tätig. Ein ihm angebotenes Universitätsstipendium lehnte er ab; stattdessen ging er dann nach New York, um Schauspieler zu werden. Seine Ausbildung erhielt er u. a. am Actors Studio bei Lee Strasberg. Später trat Tully auch als Fernsehansager in Erscheinung.

In den 1960er Jahren spielte er in zahlreichen Fernsehserien mit, darunter 1964 in einer Folge der Krimiserie Perry Mason. Gegen Ende der Dekade machte er Werbung in Europa, hielt sich u. a. in Italien und Deutschland auf. In München lernte Tully seine spätere Frau, die Schauspielerin Catana Cayetano kennen. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund seines guten Aussehens erhielt er 1968 eine tragende Rolle in der Karl-May-Verfilmung Winnetou und Shatterhand im Tal der Toten. Dem Produzenten Artur Brauner klang Fred Vincent bzw. Frederick Tully jedoch nicht amerikanisch genug und so wurde der Schauspieler im Vorspann als Clarke Reynolds präsentiert. Den Namen soll sich Brauner selbst ausgedacht haben. Als für damalige Verhältnisse recht brutal galt in diesem Film eine Sequenz, in der Tully als junger Leutnant gefangen genommen und anschließend ausgepeitscht wird. Der Autor Alvin Easter hat diese Szene im ersten Kapitel seines 2004 erschienenen Buches Lash! The Hundred Great Scenes of Men Being Whipped in the Movies eingehend beschrieben.

1969/70 lebte Tuly mit seiner Ehefrau in Rom, wo er in einer Werbeserie mitwirkte. Anfang der 1970er Jahre kehrte er in die USA zurück. Dort wirkte er – jetzt unter seinem eigentlich Namen – in weiteren Fernsehserien und Filmen mit, so z. B. in einer Folge von Dallas.

Frederick Tully starb 2005 an Prostatakrebs.

Aus seiner Ehe mit Catana Cayetano, die bis zu seinem Tod bestand, ging ein Sohn namens Patrick hervor.

Sonstiges
Aufgrund des Pseudonyms Clarke Reynolds, unter dem er in Winnetou und Shatterhand im Tal der Toten aufgetreten war, wurde Tully fälschlicherweise mit einem Drehbuchautor gleichen Namens in Verbindung gebracht. Dieser Clarke Reynolds wurde jedoch bereits 1917 geboren und hatte u. a. das Drehbuch für den Western Shalako (1968) verfasst. Er verstarb 1994.

IN LIGHT of Mental Health Awareness Week which launched today (May 14), a new report has revealed people from West Yorkshire's BME communities with mental health concerns feel ignored and struggle to find a voice, according to charity Touchstone.
The mental health charity recently ran two consultation events with BME service users as part of a national independent review of the Mental Health Act.
Feedback from participants at the events in Leeds and Bradford suggested that some BME people also feel that racism is a key factor in determining how they are treated.
Arfan Hanif, Touchstone's operations director, said: "The feedback reinforces our own research and independent reports on why BME people are over represented in mental health hospitals.
The views of mental health service users from the two consultation events are borne out by two recent pieces of research. In April a government review by Sir Simon Wessely, former president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, found that people from ethnic minorities are four times more likely to be detained under mental health law.
Last autumn Touchstone, in partnership with the Leeds & York Partnership Foundation Trust, published a report showing that people from black or black British backgrounds were 240% more likely than white British people to be detained under the Mental Health Act.
Researchers reviewed hospital data between April 2013 and March 2016 to analyse the disproportionate number of BME people being sectioned under the act.

Ally girds for surge in auto loan defaults
By Kevin Wack April 20, 2020, 2:10 p.m. EDT 2 Min Read
Bracing for a spike in bad auto loans, Ally Financial became the first large U.S. bank to report a quarterly loss as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
The Detroit-based lender set aside $903 million for future loan losses during the first quarter, up from $282 million a year earlier. The 220% increase in loss provisions was roughly in line with what the median of what other American banks have reported over the last week, according to an analysis by Piper Sandler.
But Ally, which derives nearly three-quarters of its net revenues from the auto finance business, has relatively few ways to offset higher expected loan losses. The result Monday was a quarterly net loss of $319 million, after Allly reported net income of $374 million in last year's first quarter.
"While some positive trends are emerging in regard to the spread of the virus, we still do not know how long it will take to return to a state of normalcy," Ally CEO Jeffrey Brown said during the company's quarterly earnings call.
Ally's ability to weather the pandemic-induced economic shutdown will hinge on its ability to resume collecting payments on loans that have been put into forbearance in recent weeks.
CORONAVIRUS IMPACT: ADDITIONAL COVERAGE
Don't lose sight of what matters most: The customer
Some 73% of Ally's loans to auto dealers are currently in a payment deferral status, according to Chief Financial Officer Jennifer LaClair. The same is true of roughly 25% of Ally's loans to consumers.
The $182.5 billion-asset company is offering to payment deferrals of up to 120 days to its retail borrowers. "Our commitment to them in this environment will ultimately strengthen relationships and mitigate losses down the line," Brown predicted.
During the first quarter, 1.44% of Ally's retail auto loans were charged off. The company said it expects that metric to rise to 1.8% to 2.1% for all of this year.
Stock market investors on Monday weighed the question of whether that scenario is realistic, or if the losses at Ally are likely to climb higher. Ally shares were down 3.25% in afternoon trading, compared with a less than 1% decline in the S&P 500.
During a call with analysts, Ally executives acknowledged that the U.S. unemployment forecast has worsened since the end of March, when it made projections based on an assumption that the jobless rate would approach 10%. On the other hand, the company stated that its outlook did not consider the positive effects of federal stimulus spending.
If deterioration in the U.S. economy ultimately proves to be persistent and broad-based, Ally expects its loan losses to reach the 2.5% to 3% range, LaClair said.
The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the entire U.S. auto industry into upheaval, with car manufacturers reducing production, certain states suspending repossessions, many showrooms closed, and lenders offering forbearance on a previously unseen scale.
Ally hinted Monday at one potential longer-term scenario in which the auto industry stands to benefit from the crisis. In a hypothetical future, fears about viral contagion could prompt some Americans to stop using taxis, ride-hailing apps and subways. "Obviously, you know, we're all waiting to see what happens to public transportation," Brown said.
In addition to the sharp increase in its loss provision, Ally's first-quarter results were also hurt by a $185 million decline in the fair value of equity securities that it holds.

Katie Porter off House banking panel: Report
The California Democrat known for sharp questioning of executives was turned down for a waiver to serve on the Financial Services Committee by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., The Hill reported Thursday.


Carole Arms is a 44 unit apartment project located just south of the expanding Grand Canyon University, in Phoenix Arizona. The borrower owns and operates several thousand units in the immediate vicinity and with this addition to their portfolio, they can continue to take advantage of economies of scale. By sharing operations personal between properties they keep payroll costs lower than many of their competitors. The borrower closed on the property all cash in November 2017 utilizing 1031 money from a recent disposition.
The acquisition of Carole Arms was also inclusive of an adjacent single family home, which is located on a separate parcel, and was not part of the collateral for the loan. There is a LURA in place on half of the units, but is not limiting the rents in any way. The property is was 100% occupied at acquisition, with in-place rents averaging only $0.80 PSF. The borrower sees an opportunity to increase NOI through modest interior unit upgrades, lowering controllable expenses, adjusting rents to market, and enacting a RUBS program to recapture utility costs.


Section 21: Helpful or Hindrance for Landlords?
From today, new rules will take effect on the regulation of issuing a Section 21 to a tenant during their fixed term tenancy or if they are contracted to a periodic tenancy. Akin to how the old saying goes, this kind of 21 might help landlords get their key to the door with a bit more ease.
Essentially, a Section 21 notice is used by landlords to evict a tenant and gain possession of a property under an assured short hold tenancy agreement. Its issuing can occur at any time during the tenancy's fixed term. In order for it to be issued to a tenant, the landlord must allow a notice to their tenants and it must be in writing, with an individual notice addressed to each tenant on the tenancy agreement. However, a Section 21 notice cannot be issued if the tenants deposit has been received but not protected within 30 days.
Simply, a section 21 notice provides piece of mind to landlords who may, through their own personal circumstances, be required to sell the property which they have rented out. It gives them the right to terminate the contract and may take 8 to 10 weeks for the changing over of property control.
However, some critics have hit out at the amended regulation of Section 21, stating that it is limiting Landlords control over their property. Amendments include when a landlord may serve a notice (which must be after 4 months of the tenancy's commencement), how long a notice will be valid for and what is needed in order to complete a notice. The Department for Communications and Local Government have requested that a copy of How to rent: The check list for renting in England be distributed to new and renewed tenancies from October 1st. Failing to do so will be yet another barrier of issuing a Section 21 notice.
Speaking to LettingAgentToday, David Cox of ARLA stated "We are entirely supportive of the aims of the regulation, but have recommended that the government has implemented too strict a timeframe for this".
Adding to the confusion and stress of looking after a rental property, the landlord must also provide tenants with an energy performance certificate (EPC) and a Gas Safety certificate. If landlords are unable to comply with this, it will be a lot more difficult to evict tenants.

Q: How to pull individual information from an array I'm doing an array with Object Orientation and method creation for JavaScript and I have a question:
I made it where all of the employees display when clicking the "Show Employees" button including all of their info (It's all fictionalized by the way), however, I am having difficulties with pulling individual user's information, how do I go about clicking on an individual user and pulling only that information?
the function = showEmployee(); is where I am having the issue.
Here is the code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Lab 9-1: Employee Database</title>

Employee Database

<form name="empForm" id="empForm">
Select name to view information:
<select name="empName" onchange="employees[this.selectedIndex].showEmployee();this.selectedIndex=0;">

</select>

<input type="button" value="Show All Employees" onclick=
"showAllEmployees();" />

</form>

`

A: Consider moving the definition of the showEmployee method into the constructor definition to put the member variables of an employee in scope.
function employeeObject(name, department, extension) {
    this.name = name;
    this.department = department;
    this.extension = extension;
    this.showEmployee = () => {
        let info = `${this.name}, ${this.department}, ${this.extension}`;
        // or however you wish to format info
        alert(info);
    }
}

Working snippet:

<!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

        </select>

            <input type="button" value="Show All Employees" onclick="showAllEmployees();" />

    </form>

A: You gotta add value to the <option> and pass it's value to the showEmployee function. Check out the working snippet

Nesbitt Elementary hosts diverse literary figures at EMSB's library-themed press conference
By: EMSB Communications
/ Nesbitt Elementary School
Montreal - Tuesday, January 28, 2020
Friday, January 24 was a special day for Nesbitt Elementary School, as it hosted its first human library. Well-known Montreal-area authors, illustrators and journalists filled the school's classrooms to talk about their professions in the world of books, writing and libraries. They participated as "open books," answering questions from students and engaging in meaningful and respectful dialogue that underlies the human library concept. It was all part of the English Montreal School Board's Space to Explore press conference, a morning program focusing on library transformation, and it kicks off the EMSB's Elementary School Registration Week, (February 3 to 7).
Among the special guests invited to take part in the "Space to Explore" was well-known children's author and illustrator Elise Gravel, who served as the honorary ambassador. Following her deep passion for drawing, Ms. Gravel has illustrated and written more than 50 books for young readers. She is also known for her creative educational posters. In 2012, her book La clé à molette won the Governor General's Literary Award. The recipient of several other awards, her books have been translated into a dozen languages.
Julie Trépanier also joined the list of talented literary figures to take part in the event. She has been director of the Espace Jeunes of the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec for the past ten years. As someone passionate about children's literature and young readers, her simple but "enormous challenge" every day, she says, "is to ensure that every child finds the right book."
A journalist for CBC/Radio-Canada David Gutnick brings his experience as maker of radio documentaries to the classroom. Over the past 30 years, his stories have ranged in focus from former child slaves in Togo, to secret religious services in Beijing and ballet dancers in an American maximum-security prison. But he is also author of a picture book Mr. Mergler, Beethoven, and Me, which was published in March 2018.
Accomplished illustrator Philippe Béha, who has illustrated some 200 picture books and youth novels, and has written his own books as well, also answered questions from the young readers. His book, Léonard, le mouton qui ne voulait pas être tricoté, is a finalist in the Prix Peuplier 2020. Dr. Joe Schwarcz, director of McGill University's Office for Science and Society, and well-known for his informative and entertaining public lectures, spoke about his recently released book A Grain of Salt: The Science and Pseudoscience of What We Eat.
Other special guests included Andrew Caddell, a former broadcaster, UN worker and public servant and co-author of The Goal: Stories about Our National Passion (2017). Julie Barlow attended to discuss her recent book on hydroelectricity. She is the author of seven non-fiction books on subjects ranging from language, culture to travel and medicine. Theodore Fairhurst, whose mountain-climbing career included the successful ascent at the age of 70 of Mount Ojos del Salado in 2018, talked about his first book, Dare to Reach (L'aventure d'une vie), which explores the mountain and life philosophies of two generations.
Once a student himself at Nesbitt Elementary School, CTV News Montreal anchor Paul Karwatsky attended and served as emcee. Also on hand was his mother Mary Ann Lichacz-Karwatsky, whose 2018 book My Father's Store and Other Stories takes readers inside her father's grocery store on Beaubien St., which for decades provided locals with a unique taste of Europe.
Other journalists attending includde Allison Hanes, who has been city columnist for the Montreal Gazette since 2017. From Global News Montreal was Kim Sullivan (co-emcee), weather specialist and reporter at Global News Morning. Martin Daigle brought into discussion his experience as a video journalist for City News Montreal. He is also a Nesbitt parent.
Other children's books authors who read from their books and answered questions from the young students were Lydia Lukidis, children's author of over 40 books and eBooks, and 30 educational books. Donna Santini came armed with a copy of her book Cooper Goes to the Vet: Golden Retriever. Woody Baron, a defensive tackle with the Montreal Alouettes, published his first book #JustaGobbler in August 2018. He spoke to the children about willpower, perseverance and self-confidence.

After a bit of time off the air we make our comeback with a bang!
In this edition of the Weightlifting World Podcast, we're joined by an icon in Mexican weightlifting, Luz Acosta. Luz is a muti-time Olympian and has trained in Bulgaria and China, plus was coached in Mexico using Iranian Methodology.
This is a fantastic insight into the major weightlifting training systems from someone who experienced them first hand.

Do you feel like you are drowning in STUFF? Do your possessions stress you out instead of bringing you joy? It's time to break down the steps for sorting, purging, donating, and organizing your things so you can sleep at night and restore your joy!
Do I use this frequently (for example, during the past six months or year)?
Do I see myself using this/wearing this again?
Is this item stored in the most convenient location or is it living in the wrong place?
Is there a better place to put it?
Does this item bring me joy or does it just make me stressed?
Am I just holding onto things out of obligation?
Does this item bring me good or bad memories?
So where do you start once you've answered those questions? First, you need to take inventory of where the clutter is currently residing in your home and where you'd rather store it, and then find a happy medium by developing a system that works for you.
Focus – Pick one area, drawer or box to start with. Start small so you can complete a task in a setting and not leave your room in worse shape than when you started. Don't overwhelm yourself by trying to do too much at once.
Sort – Pull out the items you're going to tackle so you can see what you are working with. Consolidate and group like items together. Sort items based on whether you will donate, sell, store or throw them away.
Get Moving – Bag up the items for donation and put them in your car right now. Don't set them somewhere saying you'll get to that "later." Because honestly, that's what created the clutter problem. Purge old and non-useful items and then organize the remaining items in an organized and usable fashion.
Organize and Store – Only put back the things that are in good condition and will get used. Use containers and labels if that helps you know where things are.
Continue sorting and purging room-by-room, closet-by-closet, etc. on a schedule that works best for you. Realize that the process may be overwhelming at first but it can also be very cleansing. Keep your eye on the prize—the final result. Professional organizers can also help give tips and even assist with the process.
STORE THINGS that you will need on a cyclical basis. For example, holiday decorations, furniture and household items you want to hold onto in between moves, documents, and files that you are required to keep but don't need immediate access to, a child's belongings if they are going to study abroad, live in a dorm, etc.
If you have to hang onto something but it doesn't bring you joy, put it into storage. But don't put things into storage just because you don't want to deal with them. You'll end up storing them longer than you want and wasting a lot of money. Give yourself a deadline to go back to the items and sort/purge them.
Appliance manuals for products you no longer own (you can find manuals online at the manufacturers' websites).
Don't let clutter overwhelm your home and life. Sort, purge, donate and throw away those possessions that have been stressing you out and bring the joy back into your life!
Have you embraced a minimalist lifestyle? We'd love to hear about the ways you have sorted, purged, donated or eliminated things in your home. Comment below, send us a message or give us a call at 214.751.2304.

Finding new worlds – the latest news
Prof Carole Haswell - Open University
Planet-hunter Prof Carole Haswell will present some of the latest news about planet discoveries.
Professor Carole Haswell is the Head of Astronomy at The Open University. She grew up in with dreams of becoming an astronaut. She first became interested in space as a child,and recalls standing on Redcar beach looking at the moon whilst her father told her about the Apollo astronauts. Carole now leads a research team in astrophysics, focussing on exoplanets – planets orbiting around stars other than the Sun.
Professor Haswell has discovered more than 200 planets in her career the Barnard's Star b, a planet which orbits the red dwarf Barnard's star, was perhaps ne of her greatest discoveries.
Carole will present some of the latest news about planet discoveries.
Type of session:


Moumina talks about the importance of body awareness as a doorway to meditation and how understanding The Body Types supports this. She explains why both talking and body therapists need to open all their senses to be able to hear everything their client's bodies have to say.
When I was young my curiosity about the world developed into a thirst for the mystery in life. In the years since then my journey with Osho has shown me a depth in existence that both satisfies and intensifies that longing. It's been my joy to work with many thousands of participants in my workshops and see them take steps to satisfy their own longing for something new and deeper in themselves.
On my site you will be able to find out what I do and where I am doing it.
I hope to see you in one of my workshops soon.

buying Car-Selling Platform Facebook Marketplace Is Popular, but Scammers Like It,Too

How To Spot Water Damage on a Flooded Used Car
How To Spot Water Damage on a Flooded Used CarTo make matters worse, the damaged goods continue to wreak havoc on the public beyond the time and location of the event through various methods of fraud and deception. One of the most common examples of this ill will is a flood-damaged vehicle listed for sale as a clean used car by the most unscrupulous of individuals.
© LPETTET - Getty Images ProPublica report finds online sales convenient but not fraud-free. We detail ways to buy and sell vehicles safely on Facebook Marketplace, eBay, or Craigslist.
Whether you're using Facebook Marketplace, eBay, or Craigslist, there are benefits and risks to buying or selling a car. Scams and privacy concerns are high on the list of things to watch out for.
Facebook, for example, has a billion people using Marketplace, and it relies on automated anti-fraud software as well as around 400 contract workers to police those transactions, according to a new ProPublica report.
eBay offers an escrow service and can provide refunds, and Craigslist now requires car sellers to pay for their listing, which has reduced fraud. But it still helps to educate yourself.
It's not easy to keep a billion people following the rules. That's the problem with Facebook Marketplace, which now has that many people on the site buying and selling goods. But success is no excuse for endangering users, which brings us to ProPublica's recent research on the social media giant and how Facebook allowed thousands of Marketplace listings that break the company's own rules, risking users' safety.
Used car buyers turn to even older vehicles to save a buck amid rising prices
In 2021, most used car buyers are now looking at cars seven years old on average.According to the data, the average age of a used vehicle Americans purchased in the first two quarters of 2020 hovered around 5.8 years old. Year-over-year in 2021, the age jumped to 7 years flat on average. In some metro areas, the average age of vehicles on which shoppers kicked the tires more than doubled. New Orleans, for example, ranked at the top with potential borrowers shopping 16-year-old cars on average this year. More often than not, older cars cost less, and it's clear Americans are looking to turn back the clock to land an affordable car.
Obviously, thousands of people have safely sold their car or truck using sites like Marketplace or eBay or Craigslist. And thousands more will. But not everyone, as a 2015 story from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution shows. There, robbers used Craigslist to offer deals on vehicles including a 2011 Honda Accord and a 2007 Dodge Caliber but requested the buyers show up with cash. Then, when they did, the "sellers" instead robbed the interested buyers. Stories like these are not hard to find, and may help encourage sellers and buyers to learn what safety measures are in place—and which actions it makes sense to take on their own—when car dealing online.
© Facebook Marketplace Facebook marketplace listings
ProPublica notes that Facebook uses a few different methods to keep Marketplace safe and reliable. First, there is anti-fraud software to detect scams, but since this isn't the most accurate tech, Facebook also uses around 400 Accenture employees to "respond to user complaints and to review listings flagged by the software," ProPublica said. One of the problems here is that these employees were given access to Facebook Messenger inboxes, which led to them spying on people. A Facebook spokesperson told ProPublica this access has been changed. Another issue is that these 400 workers each need to deal with around 600 complaints or help requests a day, giving them less than a minute to deal with each one. ProPublica published its own guide giving tips to "avoid being scammed" on the Marketplace that's worth a look.
2021 Ford GT quick drive review: Still so special
Ford's GT is no longer the new hotness, but it's an exciting supercar that still turns heads -- especially at Monterey Car Week.Driving the Ford GT is an experience. The dihedral doors don't lift quite as far as I want, making the shimmy into the cabin extremely unglamorous. The seat in this car was clearly designed for someone much taller than me, and while the pedals do move and the steering wheel telescopes slightly, at 5 feet, 8 inches tall, I'm still arms out and legs crunched. (Maybe I should've used a pillow.
Craigslist and eBay, which have been in the classified sales game longer than Facebook, seem to have better security measures in place. eBay offers an escrow service and will offer refunds if the sale ends up being fraudulent. Craigslist now also charges people to list a car for sale, and that has lowered the amount of fraud happening on the site, experts told ProPublica.
We put together a list of 10 tips to successfully buy a car on Craigslist six years ago, and the safety components we mentioned, like meeting in a public place, if possible, and creating a paper trail in case anything goes wrong, remain valuable. When it comes to buying a car or truck on Facebook Marketplace, Facebook itself says that shoppers should "take some extra time and care" to better understand the deal and that keeping personal information and yourself safe should be a "top priority." There are similar bits of advice on third-party sites. Home security company ADT recommends seven steps to stay safe when selling items on Craigslist (but most of them would work well on other sites as well), including using a proxy email address, trusting your instincts when it comes to meeting potential buyers and making sure the transaction is worth your time. Given the prices of used cars these days, that last one is likely to be a resounding yes, but it's still important to keep in mind.

Budget Wed Nov 16 2011
Mayor Emanuel's Budget Passes Unanimously
The City Council voted today to pass Mayor Emanuel's budget unanimously, 50-0. Chicago News Coop reporters Hunter Clauss and Dan Mihalopoulos described Aldermen's comments as "near worshipful" though not without acknowledging the necessary pain that will come with cuts to front-line workers, library and mental services, and elsewhere.
The budget affects deep cuts, particularly around staffing, to close the $600+ million budget deficit the city faced. The budget came in at $6.3 billion. Aldermen lauded the Mayor for being inclusive in the planning process. While under Mayor Daley unanimous budget votes were often used as evidence that the Council was a mere "rubber stamp" for the Mayor's prerogative, a unanimity does not necessarily entail that. Aldermen seemed to feel like they got their words in during the preparation process, which is arguably much more important than voting against the final budget. Tracking how the budget has changed from its initial form to today would be more instructive; unfortunately that process is not particularly transparent, or at least self-evident.
AFSCME Council 31, which represents thousands of city workers, released a statement upon passage of the budget bemoaning the deep cuts to basic and needed social services:
"We're very disappointed that aldermen have voted to reduce access to libraries, cut mental health services, privatize health clinics and cut hundreds of good jobs. Many aldermen voiced serious concerns about these cuts today. While the vote is over, the work of minimizing these harmful cuts is an ongoing process in which AFSCME and our labor and community allies will be fully engaged.
Yesterday, mental health advocates staged a sit-in outside the Mayor's office that lasted into the evening to protest the cutting of services at about half of the city's mental health facilities:

i have investigated it, and i found that the problem is the data type.
Btw, i'm using code first,
here is my EF class
public class MasterFacul : BaseEntityModel
{
....
public decimal? FacWrtShr { get; set; } <- **The Problem**

i have tried to add the precision, but it didn't work. can anyone help me?

A: The decimal type has a smaller range than the number you are attempting to set it to, hence the error. The Decimal types value is its precision, MS Reference articles state that its better used for financial calculations.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/csharp/language-reference/keywords/decimal
For your example data i'd be inclined to use a double, its range is substantial but less precise than the decimal type
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/csharp/language-reference/keywords/double

A: As @rosselder83 answered,
We can use Round
ex:
ROUND ( (3600 / MAX (OPTIME) * 7.5), 8) AS TARGETPERDAY,

to reduce the value.

The game has ended between Shamrock Rovers and Cork City and they will start the second leg on level terms.
What a chance for Rovers to clinch a late win. Tommy Dunne was gesticulating furiously at his players to get forward and not drop back, but Rovers advanced and found Sheppard on the left of the City area. He cut the ball across the goalmouth and, at full stretch, Kilduff got a slight touch but not enough to steer the ball to the right side of the back post.
There will be three added minutes played.
Denis Behan replaces Daryl Kavanagh for Cork City.
Rovers seem mor keen to win this now. City look happy to run a bit of time down. Some concerted pressure from Rovers has got the crowd's blood up. A ball from the left was met by Dunleavy and the City player seemed to stumble on the ball. There were loud calls for handball and a penalty, echoed seconds later when he scooped the ball away from Kilduff and the Rovers striker hit the deck.
John Dunleavy is outraged to be caled for a foul on Klduff who appeared to be backing into the Cork midfielder. A card was subsequently flashed but I think it was to Colin Healy for his protests. Chambers drove the free kick on target but McNulty, again, gathered with relative ease.
Colin Healy is booked for Cork City.
A lovely ball from Finn, hit on the half-volley, that releases Chambers down the right. He laid it off to substitte Gary McCabe who's cross is easily gathered by McNulty.
Bit of an odd one there as Derek Foran is penalised for a handball when there was no-one around him and he was fielding a fairly simple ball. City made nothing of the opportunity though and Rovers broke up the other end, forcing a corner when Kilduff was crowded out and his shot was deflected wide.
Adam Rundle replaces Daryl Horgan for Cork City.
Gary McCabe replaces Sean O'Connor for Shamrock Rovers.
Danny Morrissey replaces Danny Furlong for Cork City.
Stephen Rice has gonne to right back and Pat Sullivan has moved inside to partner Foran in the centre, following Ken Oman's withdrawal.
Stephen Rice replaces Ken Oman for Shamrock Rovers.
That was a great interception by Derek Foran ust as Cork threatened to break. Then, finding himself in space and with the balla t his feet the big man thrashed a shot right and wide of the City goal.
Rovers sub Karl Sheppard lets fly from twent yards and his shot takes a deflection. McNulty gathers it well.
There's a delay here as two Rovers players receive treatment. Ken Oman is the one who looks in trouble but he finally picks himself up and play eventually resumes.
Karl Sheppard replaces Mark Quigley for Shamrock Rovers.
With an hour gone there are signs that this game might be livening up. Some lovely interplay between Finn and Ledwith brightened up proceedings if not creating anything tangible. And daryl Kavanagh continues to look lively for City.
Colin Healy swings a free kick into the Rovers box and it looked liek a Rovers head that got a nick on it before the ball slid inches wide of the back post. Referee Doyle thought so too and awarded a corner, to which Ken Oman protested vehemently.
City are playing better in this second half. There seems to be a little bit more spark about them and a great turn in the middle of the park showd that Daryl Kavanagh still has a the potential to create a bit of drama.
There is a sense of thethargy about this game. That extra ouce of daring seems to be a step too far for both teams. Daryl Kavanagh showed what a moment of inspiration can do with his goal, but this doesn't feel like the kind of game in which there will be a lot of that.
Sean O'Connor has a go for Rovers but his shot from outside the box is comfortably held by City keeper McNulty.
The second half between Shamrock Rovers and Cork City has started.
It is half-time between Shamrock Rovers and Cork City.
More danger for Rovers as an Ian Turner free finds Furlong who hooks the ball to the back post where it is scrambled away for a corner. But Furlongs delivery is poor and easily cleared.
Daryl Kavanagh scores for Cork City with a long range shot that looped over Barry Murphy and into the Rovers net. Having just gone one down Cork then level with their first genuine attempt on goal.
Neal Horgan cocedes a free kick five yards outside his box when he is adudged to have fouled Mark Quigley. Quigley's free kick is deflected past his own keeper by Danny Murphy.
Neal Horgan gets caught in possession and again it's Darren Dennehy who comes to the rescue, sliding in to dispossess Kilduff who was on his way towards the City goal.
James Chambers picked up on Garry Buckley's poor ball, but heis tame shot was straight at McNulty.
Rovers look more inventive at this point with Finn and Ledwith in particular looking as if they might create something. City are just not connecting with each other. I don't think Furlong and Kavanagh up front have yet found each other with a pass.
Daryl Horgan has a go for City, their first genuine shot at goal, I thnk. But it was waaaay over Murphy's crossbar.
Finn plays Kilduff through with a super pass but an excellent saving tackle from Darren Dennehy saved the day for the visitors.
Promising from City! Dunleavy played the ball down the left for Daryl Horgan but Derek Foran came steaming across to mop up the danger.
Displeasure from the home fans as Conor Powell elects to play the ball backwards. The home fans want to see something more ambitious.
With nearly twenty minutes played I think I can say that this is a very gentle game. Very polite.
Referee Neil Doyle gets in the way of Mark Quigley's attempted pass and the ball breaks for Daryl Kavanagh. He srode forward but his attempt to play Furlong through was thwarted by the sweeping Barry Mutrphy. That would have been embarrassing if a goal had ensued.
A nice chipped ball over the top from Finn almost releases Ciaran Kilduff but McNulty is out swiftly to claim the ball. Shamrock Rovers are warming up, I think. City still haven't really done anything exciting.
And there it is!!!!! Danny Ledwith picks up a weak kick out and hit a fantastic shot from 45 yards that beat the back-pedalling Mark McNulty and only just slipped over the crossbar. No goal but have a cigar young man. Great stuff.
Ian Turner swings a cross in from the right for City but it flies over the danger area and Daryl Horgan, at the back post, can only watch it drift off towards the left hand touchline. Nothing momentous to report yet.
Both teams are lining out in 4-4-2 formations. Cork have Buckley and Dennehy at centre back with John Dunleavy sitting in beside Colin Healy in central midfield. Mark Quigley is up front with Kilduff for the Hoops.
City get us started and they will play towards the mountains in the first half.
The teams have come out and we are ust about set to go. This might be the smallest crowd at Tallaght since... tallaght opened?? It's a very modest turn out.
Cork City haven't won away from home since they thwacked Crusaders 3-1 at Seaview in the Setanta Cup. Tommy Dunne makes five changes from the side that lost 2-0 up in Sligo on Saturday. Darren Dennehy, Neal Horgan, Ian Turner, Daryl Kavanagh and Danny Furlng all come in in place of Kalen Spillane, Adam Rundle, Gearoid Morrissey, Shane Duggan and Denis Behan.
Shamrock Rovers haven't been beaten here since Frbruary 11th when Coleraine turned them over 1-0 in the first round of this competition. They are unchanged from their 7-0 demolision of Bray Wanderers last weekend. I haven't checked but with 11 players having scored in league and cup, the Hoops must have one of the widest spreads in the league interms of goal-scoreres.
It's very early in the season for this semi-final craic but Cork City have made the journey to Tallaght to face Shamrock Rovers in this Setanta Cup semi. The sun is beaming down and the gale force winds have abated somewhat. In fact, it all looks rather lovely in the foothills of the Dublin mountains. We have anearlier kick-off tonight with the game starting at 7.30, which is about half an hour from now.


This course provides an introduction to U.S. energy law. The first portion of the course introduces the nation's primary sources of energy: coal, oil, biofuels, natural gas, hydropower, nuclear, wind, solar, and geothermal energy. In doing so, it explores the physical, market, and legal structures within which these energy sources are extracted, transported, and converted into energy. The second portion of the course turns to the two major sectors of our energy economy--electricity and transportation--and the full range of federal and state regulation of each sector. The third portion of the course explores case studies of hot topics in energy law and policy that highlight the complex transitions taking place in the energy system. These topics include electric grid modernization, electric vehicles, risks and benefits associated with hydraulic fracturing and deepwater drilling for oil and gas, and the continued role of nuclear energy. In addition to traditional textbook reading and class discussion, the course will include industry, government, and nonprofit guest speaker presentations. Grading will be based on a final exam given at the end of the semester as well as class discussion and weekly written postings on the TWEN site for the course.

Home's Embrace (Visual Novel)
Kinfallen Pass (Visual Novel)
Sanriel Xeyal
Name: Sanriel Xeyal
Nickname: Sanzo, San, Sannie/Sanny, Sunrise (Only from Atticus.)
Species: Demonic fae (Incubus/Chimera) - Undead
Age: Ethereal/Undead, suspended in his late teens or early 20s.
Birthday: March 7th
Zodiac: Pisces
Eyes: Red (Former), Crystal blue (Undead)
Hair Colour: Platinum
Height: 6'2" / 187cm
Occupation: Crusader
Sexuality: Pansexual
Family: Razekiel (younger brother), Orion (nephew), Mia (niece), Bettina (great-neice)
Class: Warrior (Former), Death Knight (Current)
Scars: Sword impale scar through his chest to his back.
Clothing Preference:
Armour. He just wears a full set of armour. He makes other people feel uncomfortable just looking at him. At best, he will remove his helmet once and awhile while he is talking to others. If people manage to get him out of the armour, he will wear a simple tunic and pants. Nothing terribly fancy. Most of his casual clothing is either Razekiel's clothes or clothing Quil provides him.
Beads in his low twin ponytails. He used to have an obsidian necklace with a garnet gem that is similar to Razekiel's, but it has since lost its purpose. Quil now wears this gem in her choker as a means to control him.
Armour:
Death Knight obsidian armour that is sometimes influenced by paladin designs.
Kindhearted and a bit of a prankster. He's pretty much the older brother that enjoys to tease, but will stop once told to. At the same time, he is the quiet, listening type and does not normally speak unless spoken to. He can be overprotective, but isn't the scolding type.
Generally a rather understanding person. It is quite difficult to anger him...especially since he can't even bring himself to get angry at the person who killed and enslaved him.
He often takes it upon himself to fix problems even if it doesn't concern him. Even when the other person could have dealt with the situation on their own. He gets in trouble a lot because of this...like "dying."
He can be very forward and affectionate when given the opportunity. Rather dominant unless he is enslaved. In that case, he is very obedient. It is unclear as to whether or not this is because of the incubus/succubus nature that runs in the family.
He is very impulsive.
Brief Backstory:
Relationships With Other Characters:
Razekiel:
Since they were little, Sanriel had always tried his hardest to take care of his baby brother. He would do anything for him. Raz was the only family he had. He didn't want to lose him after the horrors he witnessed after their parents' death. Raz was not physically strong when they were children, so Sanriel taught him how to fight with swords whenever the child was not studying magic with Jikal. If there was ever going to be a time where he would not be able to be by his brother's side, he wanted to make sure that he could defend himself. Especially if it were a situation that rendered magic useless. He knew very well that the Moonspear Council sealed away Raz's demonism at the time. He didn't want him to be defenseless.
Since Raz was was very young when they were taken to Venefiren, it was all he knew. Sanriel wanted to show the world to him. Who knew that in order to do it, he had to be killed by Quil. While under her control for over a century, he wondered if he would ever see Raz again.
All he knew was that his baby brother grew up without him...and that he was alive somewhere. Perhaps someday they would meet again...if he hasn't lost his mind by then.
Jikal:
Sanriel was fascinated by the crown prince even when they were children. As they grew up together, he couldn't help but fall in love with Jikal. However, what could he possibly do? He was nothing more than a soldier. Razekiel was the one who often got to be close to Jikal. They both had magic. They learned together. Sanriel didn't have magic. Not the kind they had...he took any chance he could get to spend time with Jikal whenever he caught him reading in the castle's library. He wanted to tell him his feelings. It took years before he had the nerve do anything. He knew that the love was one sided, but he didn't care. He wanted Jikal to be free. It pained him to see him so sheltered. The prince always looked so quiet and...sad. He wanted him to be happy.
Jikal is part of the reason why he doesn't mind being Quil's slave. At least he can be close to him...

The lantern glasses were changed in the Middle Ages every fifty or sixty years and only for this work in 1405 more than half of the annual Fathers of the Commune spent some sort of superintendence on public goods and urban planning.
On that occasion 913 glass disks from Altar and Masone had been used for a weight of 188 rubles (15 quintals) and 1380 rubles (110 quintals) of lead.
Along with the glasses, set up along a continuous circular iron wall with iron posts, the fifty-two lamps were also replaced which burned the precious so-called Doge oil guarded in the Ducal Palace's bottoms. Lastly, in the ordering of this restoration there were wicks that were lit with a spark plug.
Then above the lantern there was a wooden roof, resting so as to allow the passage of the air to draw and every night the torrexan controlled that the wicks were of the right size to burn properly: neither too fast nor too much slowly.

Darlington Hippodrome is to team up with ODDMANOUT Theatre Company to create The Foundry - a dynamic new community theatre company.
Darlington Hippodrome is to team up with ODDMANOUT Theatre Company to create The Foundry – a dynamic new community theatre company.
During the 18 month restoration of the Hippodrome, the theatre and ODDMANOUT worked closely together on two major projects: "A Tale of Two Cities", a full-scale production of the Charles Dickens classic featuring performers from the local community, and "Anywhere" – an immersive theatre experience.
Following a successful bid to Arts Council England and with support from Creative Darlington, The Foundry will open its doors later this year for regional performers to embark on a 36 week-long programme of professional training and workshops.
Scott Young from the ODDMANOUT Theatre Company said: "We are thrilled to be working with Darlington Hippodrome to offer a bespoke new training opportunity to local talent at The Foundry.
"It has always been our ambition to make the company's work as open and accessible as possible, The Foundry is the next phase of our work in achieving this.
The Foundry will meet on Tuesday evenings at the Darlington Hippodrome for three 12-week terms.
To find out more about the Foundry and how to get involved, visit the Darlington Hippodrome website.
