Argumento
La serie cubre las acciones de una pequeña unidad especial de la policía estatal creada por la gobernadora de Hawái, Pat Jameson, para investigar delitos graves en las islas. El equipo está encabezado por el Capitán Steve McGarrett, un ex Navy SEAL que investiga delitos que van desde el terrorismo hasta secuestro y asesinato. McGarrett elige como compañero al Inspector Danny Williams que recientemente ha sido trasladado de Nueva Jersey. McGarrett completa el equipo mediante la selección de un amigo del instituto, el Teniente Chin Ho Kelly, y su prima la Agente Kono Kalakaua y pedirá ayuda en varias ocasiones a la Teniente.

Cada episodio comienza con un crimen o un cuerpo, seguido por la asignación del crimen a la unidad ya sea por la misma gobernadora o su representante. El grupo de trabajo utiliza la autoridad de la oficina de la gobernadora para tener acceso a las escenas del crimen y las investigaciones con el Departamento de Policía de Honolulu teniendo inmunidad diplomática gracias a la gobernadora.

Historia
La idea de volver a traer Hawaii Five-O a la televisión había sido objeto de examen antes de que la versión 2010 se anunciara. El primer intento fue un piloto de una hora para una nueva serie que se hizo en 1996, pero nunca se emitió, aunque algunos clips fueron encontrados años más tarde y están disponibles en línea. Producida y escrita por Stephen J. Cannell, que tenía la intención de tener en el elenco a estrellas como Gary Busey y Russell Wong como el nuevo equipo de Five-0. Dos versiones de por qué el piloto de 1996 no fue transmitido, miembro del elenco de Five-O, Kam Fong fue visto en el episodio a pesar de que fue asesinado durante el episodio final de la temporada 10 y Gary Busey fue diagnosticado con un tumor que se ha eliminado correctamente. El miembro del reparto original, James MacArthur regresó brevemente como Dan Williams, esta vez como gobernador de Hawaii, con cameos realizados por otros asiduos ex Five-O. Otro intento se hizo para convertir el proyecto en una película de Warner Bros., pero también fue desechado.

El 12 de agosto de 2008, la CBS anunció que traería Hawaii Five-O de nuevo a la programación para una temporada televisiva de 2009-2010. La nueva versión sería una secuela actualizada de hoy en día, esta vez centradose en torno a Steve McGarrett, lo que le sucede a su difunto padre, Steve (el personaje interpretado por Jack Lord en la serie original) como el jefe de la unidad. Ed Bernero, productor ejecutivo y productor ejecutivo de Mentes criminales, estaba para dirigir la nueva toma, que la calificó como "Hawaii Five-O, versión 2.0". Fue también para incorporar la mayor parte de los elementos icónicos de la original, incluyendo "Libro 'em, Danno" la frase, en la nueva versión. Bernero, que era un fan de la original, y tenía un ring tone de la canción de la serie en su teléfono celular, siempre había querido traer de vuelta a la serie de televisión. Esta versión no fue más allá de la fase de guion.

En octubre de 2009, se anunció que Alex Kurtzman y Roberto Orci habían firmado el guion de un episodio piloto, y que Peter M. Lenkov serviría como productor ejecutivo de la serie. Kurtzman y Orci decidieron reiniciar el concepto original similar a su trabajo en la película de 2009, Star Trek XI, en lugar de una secuela de la serie original. La producción en el piloto se filmó alrededor de Honolulu de febrero a abril de 2010.

El 17 de mayo de 2010, la versión de Hawaii Five-O fue recogido por la cadena CBS, que la tenía prevista para el lunes por la noche en el horario de 10 a 11 horas. La noticia fue buena para el estado de Hawái, que espera que la nueva versión sea como una bomba de nueva vida en la economía. La producción del resto de la primera temporada se inició en junio de 2010. El 24 de junio de 2010, los productores anunciaron que utilizarían el almacén en el antiguo edificio de Honolulu Advertiser como el estudio acústico oficial de la serie a partir de julio de 2010.

Casting
En febrero de 2010, se anunció que Daniel Dae Kim había sido elegido para interpretar a Chin Ho Kelly, un expolicía entrenado por el padre de Steve McGarrett. Fue el primer actor del reparto del remake. Varios días más tarde, Alex O'Loughlin fue escogido para interpretar a Steve McGarrett, el hijo de John McGarrett un expolicía (interpretado por William Sadler), después los productores decidieron reiniciar la serie y hacer al júnior McGarrett un SEAL de la Marina y optó por el nombre de John, para el padre de Steve en honor a Jack Lord, la estrella de la serie original. Los productores le rinden homenaje a la serie original, haciendo una de las aficiones de Steve igual a la de su padre de 1974 Mercury Marquis, ya que en realidad es el último coche original que la estrella Jack Lord usó en la serie original. La actriz Grace Park fue anunciada más tarde como la detective novata Kono Kalakaua, y Scott Caan fue anunciado como Danny "Danno" Williams. En el elenco recurrente están Jean Smart como la gobernadora Pat Jameson y Masi Oka como el médico forense Max Bergman. TVGuide.com informó que CBS tenía planes de agregar un nuevo personaje regular, actualmente en el reparto, que aparecerá en el episodio 17.

Es de destacar que las apariencias recurrente están compuestas por los miembros sobrevivientes del elenco original, Al Harrington interpreta a un amigo de McGarrett, Mamo Kahike. Dennis Chun, quien tuvo papeles distintos como invitado en la serie original y es el hijo de Kam Fong, también tiene un papel recurrente como el sargento, Duke Lukela.

Música
Hawaii Five-0 utiliza la canción original de la serie compuesta por Morton Stevens. Los críticos recibieron una copia temprana del piloto con un sintetizador de guitarra y la versión basada en el tema. Después de la reacción negativa que se propagó rápidamente en línea a la canción reelaborada, Kurtzman dijo que él y otros se dieron cuenta de que el cambio de la música fue un error, e hizo arreglos con músicos de estudio, incluidos los tres que habían trabajado en la original de 1968, para volver a grabar el tema "tal y como era", con la excepción de reducirse a 30 segundos de su longitud original de unos 60 segundos. La música instrumental original está compuesta por Brian Tyler y Keith Power.

Recepción
El 19 de mayo de 2010, The Honolulu Advertiser ofrece una opinión sobre la nueva versión: "Un guion inteligente, valores mancha de producción y tal vez un toque de nostalgia tiene el remake de Hawaii Five-O puesto en el cartel de la CBS en horario estelar en el otoño, pero se necesitará más de Beefcake y un tema remezclado para mantener el programa al aire". La nota también señaló que "los tiempos han cambiado desde que el original salió del aire, citando a otros programas que se establecieron en Hawái que han ido y venido". Expresó la esperanza de que los productores tendrán éxito en traer una nueva vida al título de este remake.

El estreno fue visto por 14.20 millones de telespectadores en los Estados Unidos y recibió una calificación de 3.9 entre Adultos 18-49. La serie ha recibido en su mayoría críticas positivas, anotando un cabo de 65 de 100 en Metacritic a partir del 12 de octubre de 2010.

Hawaii Five-0 también ganó el "nueva serie de televisión dramática favorita" en los Premios People's Choice el 5 de enero de 2011.

Q: Avoid invoking multiple constructors when using the builder pattern in c++ Consider the following piece of code:
CodeBuilder code = CodeBuilder{"Dog"}.add_field("name", "std::string").add_field("legs", "int");

and the following implementation:
class CodeBuilder
{
    MyString _code;
public:

    CodeBuilder(const std::string& class_name) //Initialize _code
    {
    }

    CodeBuilder& add_field(const std::string& name, const std::string& type)
    {
        //Some implementation
        return *this;
    }
};

and MyString class:
class MyString
{
    std::string str;

public:
    MyString()
    {
        std::cout << "Default Ctor" << std::endl;
    }

    ~MyString()
    {
        std::cout << "Destructor" << std::endl;
    }

    MyString(const MyString & other) : str(other.str)
    {
        std::cout << "Copy Ctor" << std::endl;
    }

    MyString & operator = (const MyString & other)
    {
        if(&other != this)
        {
            str = other.str;
        }

        std::cout << "Copy Assignment Operator" << std::endl;

        return *this;
    }
};

When I run the first block of code, the copy constructor (of CodeBuilder) is also invoked and this is the output:
Default Ctor
Copy Ctor
Destructor
Destructor

I then tried to change the above code to (i.e. adding reference):
CodeBuilder & code = CodeBuilder{"Dog"}.add_field("name", "std::string").add_field("legs", "int");

and only the default constructor was called, but this is really bad idead since this way i'm keeping reference to an already destructed object (and when i tried to print the results, gibberish was printed).
I wanted to know if there is a way to both invoke only one constructor (i.e. somehow construct the object directly to my variable) and still get the correct results ?
The only optimization i could think of is moving the temporary object instead of copying it.

A: If you preserve the reference type on add_field:
class CodeBuilder
{
    MyString _code;

    void add_field_impl(const std::string& name, const std::string& type);

public:

    /* ... */

    CodeBuilder& add_field(const std::string& name, const std::string& type) &
//             ^                                                             ^
//             lvalue                                                   lvalue
    {
        add_field_impl(name, type);
        return *this;
    }

    CodeBuilder&& add_field(const std::string& name, const std::string& type) &&
//             ^                                                              ^
//             rvalue                                                    rvalue
    {
        add_field_impl(name, type);
        return std::move(*this);
    }
};

the move constructor will be invoked instead without any modifications on the calling site:
CodeBuilder code = CodeBuilder{"Dog"}.add_field("name", "std::string")
                                     .add_field("legs", "int");
//               ^
//               move constructor

Audits are complicated. Many times, fraud and embezzlement are complicated. Often audits are confusing to a prosecutor who isn't confident he can sufficiently explain it to a jury in order to obtain a guilty verdict. As such, much white-collar crime goes unprosecuted.
Press Release Note: Oklahoma State Auditor Gary Jones doesn't issue many news releases. As auditor, he has consistently taken the position that an audit should speak for itself. Since taking office in 2011, Gary has issued 15 news releases, of which, four were about a specific audit.

Los Angeles Gun-Grabbers Confused, Terrified by Bill of Rights
David Bronson
Did you know that calling someone a "muppet" is a dreadful insult in Great Britain? Let's make it one here, too.
In a turn of events that should have surprised exactly no one, Los Angeles is now the second major California city to back down from their plans to stop doing official business with contractors who are members of the NRA. The first one, naturally, was San Francisco, when the city's Board of Supervisors finally had someone explain to them that no, that cute little plan of theirs actually violates their citizens' First Amendment rights. But what's interesting about this turn of events isn't that these ordinances didn't survive legal challenges from the NRA—even a dyed-in-the-wool gun-hater could see that those ordinances violated the First Amendment. No, what's interesting is that those cities passed the ordinances in the first place. Why?
We'll start with what the NRA had to say on the matter:
The Los Angeles City Council today voted to formally repeal a controversial city ordinance requiring contractors seeking to do business with the city to disclose ties to the National Rifle Association (NRA). The decision is another legal victory for the Association, which argued that the ordinance violated its First Amendment right to free speech and won an injunction blocking the law.
You'll note that the NRA describes this as a "legal victory" for them, and the reason why is that the organization sued both cities—San Francisco and Los Angeles—to get these unconstitutional and eerily Orwellian ordinances reversed. It's a national shame that two lawsuits were required to make that happen, but in this writer's opinion, there's much more to the cities' initial attempts to suppress the First Amendment rights of pro-gun contractors than simple gun-hating. This was a planned, coordinated attack designed to create as much anti-Constitutional hay as possible while the "sun was shining."
And what "sun was shining" at that time? Well, both cities' ordinances were created during the NRA's anno horribilis. Last year, America's oldest and largest civil-rights organization was wracked by a series of financial scandals in the midst of an even larger lawsuit (and countersuit) against the State of New York. The year 2019 wasn't exactly sunny for the Second Amendment organization, and it definitely appears that this was a coordinated attack, from both coasts, to bleed the NRA dry of resources (and, hopefully, damage its credibility in the process) just as the 2020 election cycle ramps up.
The fact that both L.A. and San Fran have been forced to retreat from their blatantly anti-Constitutional ordinances is definitely good news. Even better news is that the NRA doesn't seem to be in a very forgiving mood (I personally get rather irritated when someone attempts to kick me when I'm down). Here's what they had to say about their future plans:
"Despite the City Council's decision to repeal the ordinance, the NRA intends to continue to pursue all available remedies. Facing a trial where they'll have to account for the unconstitutional ordinance, city officials are trying to mitigate the consequences of their illegal misbehavior," says Chuck Michel, California counsel to the NRA. 'This is another decisive victory for the NRA, which stood and fought for its members' rights'."
Will this latest legal victory mark the end of bizarrely McCarthyist attempts to force gun owners and gun rights organizations out of business? Almost certainly not; after all, the gun-grabbers do tend to take a very long time to learn from their mistakes. Their modus operandi appears to be something along the lines of "the principle cannot be wrong; we must keep doing what we're doing, only harder." It's also pretty clear that they're aware that the NRA's pockets are only so deep, and that repeated legal battles may eventually bleed the organization dry.
My prediction is that the next city to attempt this "Are you now, or have you ever been, an NRA member?" tactic will be Portland, Oregon. What's yours? Tell us in the comments!

Q: Not able to find ./bin/spark-class for launching spark cluster on standalone mode While launching standalone cluster on spark streaming, I am not able to find ./bin/spark-class command.
Please let me know, if I need to do any additional configurations for getting "spark-class".

A: Which version of Spark are you using?  Starting with Spark 0.9.0, spark-class is located in the bin folder, but in earlier versions it was at the root of SPARK_HOME.
Perhaps you're following instructions for Spark 0.9.0+ even though you've installed an earlier version of Spark?  You can find documentation for older releases of Spark on the Spark documentation overview page.

The Harvard Department of Psychology (together with the Department of Social Relations, which was folded into it) was home to some of the most eminent psychologists in history, including the founder of the field in the United States, one of the first women in experimental psychology (she invented "paired associate learning"), a Nobel laureate, two icons of the 1960s counterculture, the originators of the terms "identity crisis," and "six degrees of separation," and one of the twentieth century's pioneers in neuroscience. These biographical sketches of historic Harvard were written by Rebecca Sutherland and Steven Pinker.

The case is here on a direct appeal, Act of August 24, 1937, 50 Stat. 752, 28 U.S.C. § 349a from a judgment of the District Court holding unconstitutional Title II of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947. 61 Stat. 193, 196.
The Act became effective on July l, 1947, and, the following day, the appellee demanded of its tenants increases of 40% and 60% for rental accommodations in the Cleveland Defense Rental Area, an admitted violation of the Act and regulations adopted pursuant thereto. [n1] [p140] Appellant thereupon instituted this proceeding under § 206(b) of the Act [n2] to enjoin the violations. A preliminary injunction issued. After a hearing, it was dissolved, and a permanent injunction denied.
The District Court was of the view that the authority of Congress to regulate rents by virtue of the war power (see Bowles v. Willingham, 321 U.S. 503) ended with the Presidential Proclamation terminating hostilities on December 31, 1946, [n3] since that proclamation inaugurated "peace in fact," though it did not mark termination of the war. It also concluded that, even if the war power continues, Congress did not act under it, because it did not say so, and only if Congress says so, or enacts provisions so implying, can it be held that Congress intended to exercise such power. That Congress did not [p141] so intend, said the District Court, follows from the provision that the Housing Expediter can end controls in any area without regard to the official termination of the war, [n4] and from the fact that the preceding federal rent control laws (which were concededly exercises of the war power) were neither amended nor extended. The District Court expressed the further view that rent control is not within the war power, because "the emergency created by housing shortage came into existence long before the war." It held that the Act "lacks in uniformity of application and distinctly constitutes a delegation of legislative power not within the grant of Congress" because of the authorization to the Housing Expediter to lift controls in any area before the Act's expiration. It also held that the Act in effect provides "low rentals for certain groups without taking the property or compensating the owner in any way." See 74 F.Supp. 546.
We conclude, in the first place, that the war power sustains this legislation. The Court said in Hamilton v. Kentucky Distilleries Co., 251 U.S. 146, 161, that the war power includes the power "to remedy the evils which have arisen from its rise and progress," and continues for the duration of that emergency. Whatever may be the consequences when war is officially terminated, [n5] the war power does not necessarily end with the cessation of hostilities. We recently held that it is adequate to support the preservation of rights created by wartime legislation, Fleming v. Mohawk Wrecking & [p142] Lumber Co., 331 U.S. 111. But it has a broader sweep. In Hamilton v. Kentucky Distilleries Co., supra, and Ruppert v. Caffey, 251 U.S. 264, prohibition laws which were enacted after the Armistice in World War I were sustained as exercises of the war power because they conserved manpower and increased efficiency of production in the critical days during the period of demobilization, and helped to husband the supply of grains and cereals depleted by the war effort. Those cases followed the reasoning of Stewart v. Kahn, 11 Wall. 493, which held that Congress had the power to toll the statute of limitations of the States during the period when the process of their courts was not available to litigants due to the conditions obtaining in the Civil War.
The constitutional validity of the present legislation follows a fortiori from those cases. The legislative history of the present Act makes abundantly clear that there has not yet been eliminated the deficit in housing which in considerable measure was caused by the heavy demobilization of veterans and by the cessation or reduction in residential construction during the period of hostilities due to the allocation of building materials to military projects. [n6] Since the war [p143] effort contributed heavily to that deficit, Congress has the power, even after the cessation of hostilities, to act to control the forces that a short supply of the needed article created. If that were not true, the Necessary and Proper Clause, Art. I, § 8, cl. 18, would be drastically limited in its application to the several war powers. The Court has declined to follow that course in the past. Hamilton v. Kentucky Distilleries Co., supra, pp. 155, 156; Ruppert v. Caffey, supra, pp. 299, 300. We decline to take it today. The result would be paralyzing. It would render Congress powerless to remedy conditions the creation of which necessarily followed from the mobilization of men and materials for successful prosecution of the war. So to read the Constitution would be to make it self-defeating.
We recognize the force of the argument that the effects of war under modern conditions may be felt in the economy [p144] for years and years, and that, if the war power can be used in days of peace to treat all the wounds which war inflicts on our society, it may not only swallow up all other powers of Congress, but largely obliterate the Ninth and the Tenth Amendments as well. There are no such implications in today's decision. We deal here with the consequences of a housing deficit greatly intensified during the period of hostilities by the war effort. Any power, of course, can be abused. But we cannot assume that Congress is not alert to its constitutional responsibilities. And the question whether the war power has been properly employed in cases such as this is open to judicial inquiry. Hamilton v. Kentucky Distilleries Co., supra; Ruppert v. Caffey, supra.
The question of the constitutionality of action taken by Congress does not depend on recitals of the power which it undertakes to exercise. Here, it is plain from the legislative history that Congress was invoking its war power to cope with a current condition of which the war was a direct and immediate cause. [n7] Its judgment on that score is entitled to the respect granted like legislation enacted pursuant to the police power. See Block v. Hirsh, 256 U.S. 135; Marcus Brown Co. v. Feldman, 256 U.S. 170; Chastleton Corp. v. Sinclair, 264 U.S. 543.
Under the present Act, the Housing Expediter is authorized to remove the rent controls in any defense rental area if, in his judgment, the need no longer exists by reason of new construction or satisfaction of demand in other ways. [n8] The powers thus delegated are far less extensive than those sustained in Bowles v. Willingham, supra, pp. 512-515. Nor is there here a grant of unbridled administrative [p145] discretion. The standards prescribed pass muster under our decisions. See Bowles v. Willingham, supra, pp. 514-516, and cases cited.
Objection is made that the Act, by its exemption of certain classes of housing accommodations, [n9] violates the Fifth Amendment. A similar argument was rejected under the Fourteenth Amendment when New York made like exemptions under the rent control statute which was here for review in Marcus Brown Co. v. Feldman, supra, pp. 195, 198-199. Certainly Congress is not under greater limitations. It need not control all rents or none. It can select those areas or those classes of property where the need seems the greatest. See Barclay & Co. v. Edwards, 267 U.S. 442, 450. This alone is adequate answer to the objection, equally applicable to the original Act sustained in Bowles v. Willingham, supra, that the present Act lacks uniformity in application. [p146]
The fact that the property regulated suffers a decrease in value is no more fatal to the exercise of the war power (Bowles v. Willingham, supra, pp. 517, 518) than it is where the police power is invoked to the same end. See Block v. Hirsh, supra.
MR. JUSTICE FRANKFURTER concurs in this opinion because it decides no more than was decided in Hamilton v. Kentucky Distilleries Co., 251 U.S. 146, and Jacob Ruppert v. Caffey, 251 U.S. 264, and merely applies those decisions to the situation now before the Court.
1. Section 204(b) of the Act provides that
no person shall demand, accept, or receive any rent for the use or occupancy of any controlled housing accommodations greater than the maximum rent established under the authority of the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942, as amended, and in effect with respect thereto on June 30, 1947.
Controlled Housing Rent Regulation, 12 Fed.Reg. 4331, contains similar provisions. §§ 2(a), 4(a). Provisions of this statute and regulation, not here material, allow adjustment of maximum rentals when necessary to correct inequities and permit a 15% increase if negotiated between landlord and tenant and incorporated in a lease of a designated term.
2. Section 206(a) makes it unlawful
to offer, solicit, demand, accept, or receive any rent for the use or occupancy of any controlled housing accommodations in excess of the maximum rent prescribed under section 204.
Section 206(b) authorized the Housing Expediter to apply to any federal, state, or territorial court of competent jurisdiction for an order enjoining "any act or practice which constitutes or will constitute a violation of subsection (a) of this section."
3. Proclamation 2714, 12 Fed.Reg. 1. That proclamation recognized that "a state of war still exists." On July 25, 1947, on approving S.J.Res. 123 terminating certain war statutes, the President issued a statement in which he declared that
[t]he emergencies declared by the President on September 8, 1939, and May 27, 1941, and the state of war continue to exist, however, and it is not possible at this time to provide for terminating all war and emergency powers.
4. Section 204(c) provides:
The Housing Expediter is hereby authorized and directed to remove any or all maximum rents before this title ceases to be in effect, in any defense rental area, if in his judgment the need for continuing maximum rents in such area no longer exists due to sufficient construction of new housing accommodations or when the demand for rental housing accommodations has been otherwise reasonably met.
5. See Commercial Trust Co. v. Miller, 262 U.S. 51, 57.
6. See H.R.Rep. No. 317, 80th Cong., 1st Sess., pp. 1, 2, 3, 10-11.
The Report states, p. 2:
There are several factors, in addition to the normal increase in population, which have contributed to the existing housing shortage. These include demobilization of a large number of veterans, shifts in population, less intensive use of housing accommodations, amount of new housing construction, trend away from construction of rental units, and change from tenant to owner occupancy.
As to the effect of demobilization of veterans, the Report states, p. 2:
Heavy demobilization of members of our armed forces, particularly in late 1945 and the first half of 1946, made effective an important demand for housing accommodations. In 1945, an estimated 6,279,000 veterans of World War II were returned to civilian life, in 1946, the number so returned was 5,659,000, and in 1947 to February 28, an additional 212,000 veterans were demobilized. Statistics are not available as to the number of new family units created by returning veterans, but undoubtedly the figure is substantial, and, in many cases, creation of new family units was delayed until these veterans were returned to civilian life. The importance and delayed impact of the 11,938,000 veterans returned to civilian life in 1945 and 1946 on an already acute housing shortage is readily apparent.
The effect of the war upon the construction of new dwelling units is shown by the following table:
Total non-farm dwelling units constructed
1937. . . . . . . . 336,000 1943. . . . . . . . 350,000
1941. . . . . . . . 715,000 1947 (11 months). . 799,000
1942. . . . . . . . 497,000
The figures for the years 1937-1945 inclusive are taken from H.R.Rep. No. 317, supra, p. 3. Those for 1946 and 1947 are taken from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Construction, Dec.1947, p. 4.
7. See H.R.Rep. No. 317, supra, note 6, and statement of Representative Wolcott, Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency which reported the rent bill, 93 Cong.Rec. 4395.
8. See note 4, supra.
9. Sec. 202(c) provides:
The term "controlled housing accommodations" means housing accommodations in any defense rental area, except that it does not include -- (1) those housing accommodations, in any establishment which is commonly known as a hotel in the community in which it is located, which are occupied by persons who are provided customary hotel services such as maid service, furnishing and laundering of linen, telephone and secretarial or desk service, use and upkeep of furniture and fixtures, and bellboy service; or (2) any motor court, or any part thereof; or any tourist home serving transient guests exclusively, or any part thereof; or (3) any housing accommodations (A) the construction of which was completed on or after February 1, 1947, or which are additional housing accommodations created by conversion on or after February 1, 1947, except that contracts for the rental of housing accommodations to veterans of World War II and their immediate families, the construction of which was assisted by allocations or priorities under Public Law 388, Seventy-ninth Congress, approved May 22, 1946, shall remain in full force and effect, or (B) which at no time during the period February 1, 1945, to January 31, 1947, both dates inclusive, were rented (other than to members of the immediate family of the occupant) as housing accommodations.

Zephyrhills, Fla. – The recent deaths of two Central Florida youths show the danger of "ghost riding" and other car stunts. Car stunts might look cool on reality shows, YouTube, and in the movies, but they are causing more accidents and heartaches for families and friends who are affected by their deadly consequences.
Nearly 100 people have died because of car surfing, with an estimated 70 percent of incidents involving young men, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Even slow speeds of five miles per hour can cause injuries and fatalities, as any loss of balance or bump in the road can force the rider to fall from the vehicle.
Car surfing is when one person hangs out of the vehicle or rides on top of it, on the bumper, or on the running boards. Ghost riding involves a person standing or dancing on the exterior while the vehicle is in motion. Skitching is when someone uses a skateboard, roller skates, or other device to hang onto a moving vehicle.
Alston has represented many clients and cautions that the only way to be safe in a vehicle is to be restrained with a seatbelt, with proper vehicle maintenance and have a driver that is fully capable of driving safely. He has dealt with cases involving inexperienced drivers, improper tires, and incorrectly loaded vehicles in his more than 10 years of auto accident law practice.

Madagascar: Never sing while you are eating
Like so many apparently innocuous acts, this is taboo on Madagascar, a beautiful island that defies explanation, says John Gimlette.
By John Gimlette 13 September 2004 • 00:01 am
Soon after our arrival, we went to visit the King of Madagascar, even though he was dead. His home, more pavilion than palace, was out in the highlands.
Around the walls were his soldiers' tridents and a fancy mirror, given by Queen Victoria. There was a mysterious escape-hatch in the dining-room, and his ghost slept in a bed that had 10ft legs. Around it all was a rampart made of sand and the whites of 10 million eggs. No-one thought it odd to come and speak to the long-dead king.
"Our ancestors are everywhere," said our guide, "even in the trees."
Madagascar has always defied explanation. At its heart is Antananarivo, its strange capital. There I saw baguettes and rickshaws, cockfighting and car-races, the cobbled streets of provincial France, little English village churches, circumcision parties, poinsettias as big as a house, and strings of sausages round the block. My wife even spotted a travelling beautician with a bucket of make-up.
Odder still, this entire settlement was chiselled into the flanks of 12 sheer hills, nosing out of the rice. We were enchanted, as were the earliest visitors, in the 1630s. They thought Madagascar an earthly paradise, an arcadia, the Garden of God.
That's it, then: God's Garden. For who else would have thought to snip a piece off Africa and haul it almost 300 miles into the safety of the Indian Ocean? And safe it was. Things have survived here which have long been lost elsewhere - like 80 per cent of the island's flora, or 50 varieties of lemur. In the absence of pests such as lions and elephants, this menagerie has become conspicuously vain. We'd find chameleons adorned as if decorated by Fabergé, and sifakas in cream pyjamas and maroon velvet gloves.
Only a few hours from Antananarivo, the garden runs wild. I loved these journeys, through rice paddies, Tuscany, Borneo, the Middle Ages and Middle Earth. I gave up trying to understand it all, the Indonesian faces, the spears and the games of pétanque. We stayed at the Vakona Lodge, which was like a wigwam made out of bricks.
From the air, Madagascar was more implausible than ever, with its tiny round forts and swoops of turquoise and moon-rock. We paused momentarily at Diego Suarez, just as the Second World War had - the surf was still prickly with wrecks - and then headed into the hilly national park.
"The Montagne d'Ambre," announced Philippe, our guide. Philippe was part-tribal, part-French and at home in this forest. He knew every click and squeak, and every flash of feathers. There were 1,200 plant species here, he said. More than half were medicinal. Others were holy, protected by fady, or taboo. It was also fady to kill lemurs, sing while eating or hand someone an egg.
At the edge of this complex world was a delightful French manoir. Although the old Domaine de Fontenay had become a hotel, the place had barely changed. The giant tortoise in the stable-yard was now 150, and every night we bathed in a vast, marble sea-captain's tub. Then we were seated before one of Gustav Eiffel's fireplaces, and plumped up on tropical treats; confit de canard, lobster and slices of ice-cold beef. The only other visitors to our eyrie were an acrobatic lemur (begging for lettuce) and the fishman.
Henceforth, afternoon tea became a feature of our remarkable adventures. We had tea and madelaines in forests and empty coves, on desert islands and in gardens-within-gardens. Sometimes we were alone and sometimes there was a wildlife display - humming-birds or lemurs cartwheeling round the cakes. We thought this ritual was doggedly French, but our hosts thought it amusingly English. Even when we camped one night in the forest, Philippe created a tablecloth from flour bags.
As we moved on, we knew we were nearing the coast by the bicycles covered in fish. We passed volcanic cones and savannahs before reaching a sea that was was the colour of a swimming pool and pebbled with islands; Nosy Be, Nosy Komba and the Mitsio archipelago. The celestial spice gardens perhaps? Or Zanzibar but with more space and light? I can hardly imagine more ornamental isles, with their tiny hills and streams, and clumps of cloves and vanilla. Small wonder that, in 1904, a passing Russian warship simply abandoned its war, and defected to paradise.
Speedboats and dolphins carried us from haven to haven. We had these places mostly to ourselves; just us, fish-eagles and the occasional turtle. The real action was usually out in the turquoise, a carnival of fish; angels, clowns and two-foot clams. We stayed first at a tropical idyll, La Pirogue, where the hotel's shower erupted from a carved crocodile. It was a similar story on Tsarabanjina, except that now we had a desert island all of our own. The sand was sifted between cool forest and molten-chocolate rocks, and masked boobies wandered in and out of the bar. It was all so improbably pure that, in 1994 (just pre-hotel), the BBC abandoned Joanna Lumley here, a story that became Girl Friday.
"Bien sûr, elle est revenue," said the barman, "Everyone comes back."
For our last stop, we boarded a tiny aeroplane laden with tomatoes and plumbing parts. It was like a flight to the end of the world, or perhaps the beginning. Below us, the west coast looked like earth in the moments before life; virgin islands, powder-white sand and the grand, untenanted bush. Then I spotted a pirogue and we swept down on Anjajavy. As resorts go, it was hardly obtrusive; much of it had been built from the forest, though finished with Parisian élan. We had our own exquisite decked house, with our own stretch of beach and our own troupe of lemurs. The maids tidied up so enthusiastically that we thought they'd packed all our things and sent them home.
By day, we chugged around the islets. Some had been whipped into wine-glass shapes by the sea, and others were safe-havens for the dead (it's fady for a pig to walk over one's tomb). We also found ourselves among baobabs, the trees of children's drawings. There were more species here than in Africa and Australia put together.
The days seemed all too short. At night we had dinner by the beach, crab bisque, perhaps, or carpaccio of wild boar. One evening, the pastry chefs put on a tribal dance, and Monsieur L'oeuf (Mr Egg) told local jokes. As with so much of Madagascar, I found myself curled up with pleasure - even though I had no idea what any of it meant.

It's official: Alexander signs with Haymon
Former WBC/IBF junior welterweight titleholder Devon Alexander has aligned himself with advisor, Al Haymon, according to Alexander's trainer, Kevin Cunningham.
Separate sources had informed RingTV.com of the deal being "in talks, if not, close to being done," or, "just about done." Meanwhile, FightHype.com, first reported that Alexander had inked the deal.
Cunningham confirmed that his fighter has signed with Haymon.
"Team Alexander and Al Haymon have joined forces," wrote Cunningham in an e-mail to RingTV.com. "It's official."
Haymon also signed WBA junior middleweight titleholder, Austin Trout, "a few days ago," according to a source.
Alexander and Trout join Floyd Mayweather Jr., Adrien Broner, Andre Berto, Seth Mitchell, Paul Williams, Chris Arreola, Gary Russell Jr., Peter Quillin, Danny Garcia, and Antonio Tarver, among others, who are with Haymon.
Alexander (23-1, 13 KOs) is slated to return to the ring in a Showtime-televised bout on Aug. 18 against an opponent to be determined, as earlier reported by RingTV.com.
A southpaw, Alexander is coming off of a one-sided, unanimous decision over Marcos Maidana (31-3, 28 KOs) during his welterweight debut on Feb. 25 before a partisan crowd at the Scottrade Center in his native St. Louis, Mo.
In victory, Alexander rebounded from a series of lackluster performances, having lost his WBC junior welterweight belt following an 11th-round technical decision loss to unbeaten Tim Bradley in January of last year, and escaped with a 10-round decision win over Lucas Matthysse in June.
Prior to facing Bradley, Alexander won a disputed decision over former titleholder Andriy Kotelnik in August of 2009, and blamed extreme weight loss for the efforts against Kotelnik, Bradley and Matthysse.

What's Wrong With This Web Marketing Picture?

What's Wrong With This Web Marketing Picture?
You've got a web site, spent money on internet marketing and advertising, and begun attracting lots of visitors, but hardly anyone is contacting you or buying your products and services. What's wrong, and what can you do to change this picture?
John from Wisconsin called with exactly this problem. He owns a firm that provides financial services to people planning to sell or pass on family businesses. Located in a small town, his business is steady, but, well, small. He built a web site to reach a broader market and signed up with Overture.com tobadvertise it and attract visitors. (Overture posts the sponsored links you see at the top of your search results on many sites.) This is when his biggest problem became apparent.
The problem wasn't with John's business idea or Overture. He had identified both a need and an undeserved target market. His Overture ads worked so well they generated thousands of clicks to his site. In no time at all, John had run through his internet marketing and advertising budget but hadn't translated any of the visitors into leads or sales.
What can you do to create a web site that sells?
You want the people that visit your web site to buy your products and services. Making a purchase is the end point in their decision-making process. Do you know what the preceding steps are and how to move people through these steps?
If you are running a Web ad campaign, you will attract two types of visitors. The ideal prospect is one who is looking for a solution, one which hopefully your product or service provides. This should be an easy sale, but you still need to demonstrate that you understand their concerns and can solve the problem or meet their specific need. The sequence of information you provide and the specific copy you use can either keep them reading and move them to buy or lose the sale.
Take a look at your web site marketing. Is it obvious to you what you want them to do?
Can people see from the use of the page layout, use of type and graphics what they are supposed to do first, second and third?
You don't have to be blatant in what you want visitors to do but the sequence should at least be obvious to you. Guide visitors by your placement of elements on the page and use of size, color and placement.
The majority of first time visitors to your site will browse your content following their whims or interests. If you don't include the right elements on your site in the right places on the page, it may be the last time they visit your site. Even if you provide the perfect product or service, you can't rely on people to make the effort to find what they need: give it to them.
Whether you sell consulting services, plus size clothing, business coaching, golf apparel, or manage recording artists, you can use your web site to generate leads and grow your business. The key is to guide prospects to take action to become qualified leads and clients.


Sounds Like: Keith Urban, Brooks and Dunn, Keith Whitley, and a mix of old Southern Rockers mixed all together.
The Next Of Kin is a band you must see. They hit the stage with such style and intensity that they make you feel like one of their friends.
They blend their Southern Rock roots with their "New Country" to create a style of music enjoyed by everyone that hears them.
Ed White formed The Next Of Kin in 1980 as a Southern/Classic rock band performing throughout Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi. Rob Massey joined the band as the bass player in 1984. They soon built a chemistry between them that you can feel when they perform together on stage.
In 1992 Ed moved to Nashville to pursue a solo artist career. He became a songwriter and demo singer with other well known artists in Nashville.
In 2000 the band reformed again and with Rob living in Atlanta, they began playing a circuit between Nashville and Atlanta. In 2006 the band recruited Darryl Meadows on drums and Ed Fogg on saxophone, keyboard, backup vocals, and synthesizer. They perform throughout the southeast playing clubs, events and private parties in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and North Carolina. They have even performed in front of Gov. Sonny Purdue of Georgia.
The new C.D. promises to be an even bigger hit than their first C.D. with the same attention to detail and determination, the band keeps their music close to the heart as you will soon hear in songs such as "As Far As Your Memory Goes" written by their good friend Casey Beathard, "No Way Around It", "Phoenix Arizona" and "Goodbye Nashville". And the those southern rock roots really come out in the song "Nobody's Ugly after 2am". These are just a few of the powerful songs you will find on their new album that is sure to make the country stand up and take notice to this very talented band from the south. Is this band the next coming of The Marshall Tucker band? You decide.
So sit back take a listen and you'll soon see why The Next Of Kin's performance creates an atmosphere that all audiences love to sing along with and dance to.


Andrew Luu joined Hill Rogers as a wide-eyed graduate. Now working as Manager for Audit & Assurance, he recently celebrated a decade with the firm.
How did you come to join the team at Hill Rogers?
I actually started my career in 2007 with the firm Spencer Steer, which subsequently became part of Hill Rogers. I joined as a graduate in 2007 as part of the Audit team and completed my CA over a three-year period whilst working and studying. In the time I've been here, I've worked my way up to become a manager. Today I manage a team of between 5-10 people depending on the time of year. During the peak Audit season (July – October) we also bring in secondees from the Morison KSi UK and US networks.
What's unique about working at Hill Rogers?
The people and the directors have been great. Also, being a mid-size firm you have your hands in everything. This gives you the opportunity to sit across the entire end-to-end process, rather than having siloed roles. We have a wide range of clients, from small to large businesses and private wealth clients, which always keeps things interesting. You also have the opportunity to be exposed to local government, the NFP sector and associations. You don't find that kind of variety in every firm.
What do you find the most rewarding about working with Hill Rogers?
The culture and the people. As colleagues we share common interests, goals and values. It's about working together to achieve the best result for our clients and to make meaningful connections. I really enjoy that bond.
Being able to complete my CA studies while working my way up to become a manager over seven years. Through the support of our directors and leadership team, I've built up extensive experience and helped to forge high client retention. It gives me great satisfaction to see some of the same clients I've had since day one. Equally, our clients appreciate a familiar face as our team expands too.
What is it about the firm that has made you wish to stay for 10 years?
Again, it's the people and the social side of things. The firm rewards its staff and really supports them. We have a flexible working environment and there's a great balance between work and personal life. Recently my wife and I had our first baby and through the support of the firm we're all benefiting from a healthy home and work balance. Another real asset is the firm's international reach via our partnership with Morison KSi, which encourages the exchanging of ideas. In 2012 I had the opportunity to work in our NZ affiliate firm, that was a great experience.
What's next for you at Hill Rogers?
Continuing my career trajectory and working my way up to become a director, part of the firm's leadership team. That's the ambition. Come back in 10 years and let's see!

Dawson City es un pueblo ubicado en el Territorio del Yukón, Canadá, a la orilla del río Klondike, un afluente del río Yukón. La población en el censo de 2011 era de 1319 habitantes. El área recibe unos 60 000 turistas por año. Los habitantes locales se refieren a su pueblo como simplemente "Dawson", pero la industria turística prefiere llamarle "Dawson City" (en parte para diferenciarla de Dawson Creek, en la Columbia Británica, que se ubica en el kilómetro 0 de la autovía de Alaska).

El emplazamiento fue fundado en enero de 1897 en honor al geólogo canadiense George Mercer Dawson, que había explorado y realizado un mapa de la región hacia 1887. Funcionó como la capital del Yukón desde su fundación en 1898 hasta 1952, cuando la sede fue trasladada a Whitehorse.

La quimera del oro de Klondike comenzó en 1896 y produjo un cambio en el campamento pesquero indígena de verano, transformándolo en una ciudad próspera de unos 40.000 habitantes hacia 1898. Para 1899, la fiebre del oro había llegado ya a su fin, provocando que la población se redujera tras la partida de unas 8.000 personas. Cuando Dawson se incorporó como ciudad en 1902, tenía alrededor de 5.000 habitantes.

La población se mantuvo bastante estable hasta la década de 1930, decayendo tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial cuando la capital territorial fue trasladada a Whitehorse, girando en torno a las 600 o 900 personas durante los años 1960 y 1970, si bien ha tendido a subir desde entonces con cierta estabilidad. La alta cotización del oro ha propiciado que las operaciones mineras modernas sean provechosas, y que el crecimiento de la industria turística haya incentivado el desarrollo de determinadas facilidades. A comienzos de los años 1950, una ruta unió a Dawson con Alaska, y en otoño de 1955, con Whitehorse a lo largo de la carretera que forma parte de la autovía de Klondike.

Muchas de las construcciones más grandes del pueblo forman parte del Sitio Histórico Nacional de Dawson. Existe un número de exposiciones en algunos de los viejos edificios, y los empleados del parque se disfrazan como personajes de la fiebre del oro de Klondike. También en Dawson se encuentra el Sitio Histórico Nacional de Canadá y el de S.S Keno. En el Hotel del Centro (Downtown Hotel) se puede apreciar el famoso Sourtoe Cocktail: una especie de dedo humano del pie sumergido en el trago de preferencia para el consumidor.

Dawson City es además la sede del programa "Berton House Writers Retreat", un complejo residencial establecido para escritores canadienses con el fin de permanecer desconectados de la sociedad por un periodo de tres hasta cuatro meses cada año. Berton House fue el hogar de juventud del afamado escritor canadiense de historia popular, Pierre Berton. Se localiza sobre la misma senda donde se ubica la cabaña que sirvió de residencia al poeta Robert Service, y justo sobre la calle donde se encuentra la cabaña que habitó el escritor Jack London durante su estadía en el Yukón.

Dawson City se encuentra en las siguientes coordenadas:

Ciudad o pueblo
Dawson fue declarada ciudad en 1902 cuando cumplía con el criterio propuesto tal fin por el acta municipal de aquel tiempo. Mantuvo ese estatus incluso cuando la población sufrió un ligero descenso. Cuando se propuso una nueva acta municipal en los años 1980, Dawson cumplía los requisitos de "pueblo", y fue declarado como tal, aunque con una autorización especial que le permitiera seguir conservando la palabra "City" (en inglés, ciudad), principalmente por razones históricas y para diferenciarse de Dawson Creek, una pequeña ciudad al noreste de Columbia Británica. Dawson Creek debe también su nombre a George Mercer Dawson. La situación llevó a que el gobierno territorial colocara carteles sobre los límites del pueblo, constatando: "Welcome to the Town of the City of Dawson" (Bienvenidos al pueblo de la Ciudad de Dawson).

Política y gobierno
En 2004, el gobierno del Yukón revocó del cargo al alcalde y consejero del pueblo, como resultado de la bancarrota que se estaba viviendo en la zona. El gobierno territorial aceptó gran parte de la responsabilidad por este hecho en marzo de 2006, cancelando 3,43 millones de dólares de deuda y dejando al pueblo con 1,5 millones a pagar. Se celebraron elecciones el 15 de junio de 2006, que terminaron con la victoria de John Steins, un artista local y uno de los líderes de un movimiento que abogaba por la restauración democrática en Dawson. Otros 13 residentes fueron asignados para 4 cargos del consejo.

Industria

Actualmente, las principales industrias de Dawson City son el turismo y la explotación minera de oro.

La minería de oro comenzó en 1896 con el hallazgo de George Carmack, Dawson Charlie y Skookum Jim Mason en Bonanza Creek. Sin embargo, los riachuelos de la zona pronto se vieron atascados y muchos de los miles de personas que habían llegado en 1898 para la fiebre del oro de Klondike notaron que había pocas oportunidades de obtener beneficios directamente de la explotación minera de ese metálico. Por esta razón, muchos se convirtieron en empresarios que proveían servicios a los mineros.

Comenzando aproximadamente diez años después, la excavación dio paso a una operación minera industrial, extrayendo grandes cantidades de oro desde los riachuelos, reutilizando el ambiente y alterando, por tanto, la ubicación de ríos tras dejar pilares de desechos en su nacimiento. Se instaló una red de canales y represas hacia el norte con el fin de producir energía hidroeléctrica para las excavaciones. Estas cerraron por el invierno, pero una construida para Joseph W. Boyle fue asignada para operar durante todo el año, por lo que no interrumpió sus actividades en temporada invernal. El lugar se encuentra abierto como un sitio histórico nacional sobre Bonanza Creek.

La última excavación se clausuró en 1966, y el soporte hidroeléctrico, en North Fork, fue asimismo clausurado cuando Dawson rechazó una oferta para su compra. Desde entonces, los mineros han vuelto a ser reconocidos como los principales operadores de la región.

El pueblo dispone de un aeropuerto, el Dawson City Airport.

Clima

Al igual que ocurre en la mayor parte del Yukón, Dawson City posee un clima subártico. La temperatura promedio en el mes de julio es de 15,6 °C, mientras que en enero gira en torno a los -26,7 °C. Por otro lado, la temperatura más alta registrada es de 34,7 °C el 31 de mayo de 1983, siendo la más baja de -55,8 °C el 11 de febrero de 1979. Es común tener temperaturas que sobrepasen los 30 °C en verano y termómetros que no superen los -40 °C en invierno. Debido a que Dawson se ubica a unos 370 metros sobre el nivel del mar, las precipitaciones oscilan en 48,4 mm en julio, y el promedio de nieve en 242 mm durante el mes de enero. El promedio total anual de caída de nieve es de 1645 mm, por lo que se estiman tan sólo 90 días sin nevada por año. El pueblo está emplazado sobre una capa de hielo, lo que podría suponer una amenaza para su infraestructura en un futuro, dado que el permafrost se derrite.

Perfil de la comunidad
Conforme al censo nacional de 2001:
 Población en 2001: 1.251
 Población en 1996: 1.287
 Cambio de 1996 hasta el cambio poblacional de 2001 (%): −2,8
 Total de viviendas privadas: 675

According to results of the October 2010 general government budget deficit and debt notification1, which were prepared in conformity with methodology of European System of Accounts ESA'95, the general government deficit in 2009 reached 1,340.5 mln lats or 10.2 % of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the general government debt was 4801.9 mln lats or 36.7 % of GDP.
Necessity for adjustment arises from ESA' 95 methodological requirements and guidelines for the preparation of financial statistics of government sector. They require that accrual (instead of money flow) principle is followed in the calculations, and that financial transaction from government sector balance, as well as influence of European Union funds is neutralized.
Compared to annual report data of the Ministry of Finance, which indicated general government budget deficit of 897.9 mln lats (6.9% of GDP) in 2009, according to methodological requirements of ESA' 95, calculated budget deficit is more by 442.6 mln lats and reaches 10.2% of GDP.
Major changes in final data of 2009 (0.9% of GDP) are related to financing of support activities of Parex bank – government investment of 113.6 mln lats in the equity capital of Parex bank. According to the requirements of the Manual of General Government Budget Deficit and Debt, investment of general government in the Parex bank is acknowledged a capital transfer which increases government expenditure.
In 2009 debt value of the general government sector, compared to previous year, increased by 1620.5 mln lats or 12.4% of GDP, however it does not exceed Maastricht criterion (60%).
Debt before consolidation among sub-sectors was 5241.4 mln lats to the central government, 760.0 mln lats – to local government, 0.2 mln lats – to social security fund.
In the calculations of notification of October 2010 data from the Ministry of Finance, the Treasury, the Ministry of Economics, Central Statistical Bureau and Riga City Council are used.
On October 22 the EU Statistical Office Eurostat will release information on the results of the October 2010 notification in all EU member states.
1 In compliance with the requirements of Regulation EC No. 479/2009, the government deficit and debt notification is submitted to the European Commission twice a year, by April 1 and October 1. The results of the notification are used for assessing how the EU member states observe the compliance of the respective economic indicators with the criteria established by the Maastricht Treaty, that is, the ratio of the planned and actual government budget deficit to the gross domestic product (GDP) at current prices must not exceed 3.0% and the ratio of the government debt to the gross domestic product at current prices must not be higher than 60.0%.


What else can I say about these books that I didn't say for Waterfall? This series is hands down the best series I have read in 2011. I have never been so entrapped by a historical fiction series before. They were phenomonal! The characters were believable and felt full. Even though there were so many characters to get to know- I really felt like I "got to know" them.
I don't consider myself someone who likes to research history- especially plagues. This series made me do some legwork, trying to find out more about what was going to happen to the characters. It was pretty amazing to learn so many details of history through a fiction novel.
The action scenes were fierce and the love scenes were emotional and beautiful. I could absolutely see this series as a movie- I wish I could see this series as a movie. It would be intense and absolutely stunning.
Do your self a favor and pick this series up!
WOW! You really have me intrigued by this novel. Time travel seems so fascinating. I'll have to add these to my TBR for sure.
This is one of my favorite series as well and I would love to see these books be made into movies. These books practically are movies because they are so well written and so detailed you can easily see yourself in medieval Italy standing next to Gabi and Lia. I read Waterfall last year on my Nook. It was free at the time and I fell in love after the first couple pages. Both Gabi and Lia are strong characters, not just in the fighting scenes but playing along with the fact they are not in their time. Gabi also comes up with a great story to tell why she is lost. That was definitely quick thinking on her part. The boys are just as awesome. Marcello is oh so sweet and protective and easy to love. Luca, his cousin, is the funny one who can make you laugh no matter what is happening. I also fell in love with him. Even Marcello's older brother was such a sweety. This series is action, history, romance. It has it all.

Long Island teacher claims she was fired over topless selfie obtained by students without her consent
By: Cristian Benavides
A three-year-old topless selfie cost 25-year-old Lauren Miranda her job. She had privately sent the photo to her then-romantic partner back in 2016. Both of them were teachers within the South Country School District in Bellport, Long Island.In January a student somehow got his hands on that picture. Miranda was put on home assignment for three months. She was told last week she was fired.
A three-year-old topless selfie cost 25-year-old Lauren Miranda her job. She had privately sent the photo to her then-romantic partner back in 2016. Both of them were teachers within the South Country School District in Bellport, Long Island.
In January a student somehow got his hands on that picture. Miranda was put on home assignment for three months. She was told last week she was fired.
"That picture was never posted," said Miranda. "How it got out is the million dollar question."
The $3 million question to be exact. Attorney John Ray has filed a notice of claim asking for Miranda to be reinstated or for the school district to pay up. Miranda says she is being discriminated against for being a woman.
"If a male teacher's nipples were displayed, there would be no punishment," she said.
She said she first spoke to the principal.
"He said 'how can I put you in front of a classroom where boys would be able to pull out their phone and look at this image of you?""
Lauren Miranda's selfie
At a press conference Miranda said the principal told her she couldn't work at South Country when students could just pulled out their phones and look at "this image of you."
District officials held a meeting, where Miranda was brought in and questioned about the photograph by the entire board of education.
"They displayed in full color, with all the men in the room sitting there, her photograph and said- 'ha! This is the picture,'" said Ray.
Miranda became eligible for tenure this year and job performance reviews presented by the lawyer show she was always commended for doing a great job, but now Miranda says her career is over.
"I loved my job, I never woke up in the morning and didn't want to go. I loved my students, my faculty. I really thought this is where I was going to spend the next thirty years of my life," said Miranda.


1. The symbolic gesture of breaking and sharing bread and sharing the cup, that Jesus made at the Last Supper, symbolised the offering of himself that he would make on Calvary, giving his life for others. Sometimes we also are called to give our lives for others. We can do this grudgingly or with a generous heart. What difference has it made for you when you were able to give yourself freely?
2. In his encyclical letter Deus Caritas Est Pope Benedict XVI wrote, 'A Eucharist which does not pass over into the concrete practice of love is essentially fragmented'. What has helped you to be aware of the importance of the link between the Eucharist and your lifestyle?
3. Jesus involved his disciples both in the preparation for the Last Supper and in its celebration. Recall times when you had a heightened awareness of participation and involvement in the Mass. What helped to give you this awareness? Are there lessons from these special experiences that you can bring with you to the routine Sunday Mass?

Open Heaven Today
Open Heaven 6 October 2022 || Exposing Demonic Operations 5
Welcome to RCCG Open Heaven Daily Devotional for Thursday 6th October 2022, written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye. May the Lord bless you as you study!
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 6 OCTOBER 2022 || DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR THURSDAY
TOPIC: EXPOSING DEMONIC OPERATIONS 5
MEMORISE:
"Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance." – (Psalm 32:7)
READ: Mark 5:1-20 (KJV)
OPEN HEAVEN 6 OCTOBER 2022 DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE:
The worst of all demonic operations is possession – that is, when the enemy has taken over completely and is now dwelling inside the victim. Unfortunately, there are many people walking around with one or more demons inside them. The mad man of Gadara was possessed by thousands of demons. He was seriously tormented by the demons, but he could not get rid of them. When Jesus sent the demons into the swine, the pigs preferred to drown themselves than to harbour these evil spirits inside them.
In (1 Samuel 16:14-23), King Saul started acting like a lunatic when he was possessed by an evil spirit. The goal of demons when they possess a person is to use the fellow to carry out the agenda of the devil on earth and then ultimately destroy him or her. When they brought the child that was possessed with a demon to Jesus in Mark 9:22, his father said the demon was trying to destroy the child.
There are two types of demon-possessed victims; the willing and the unwilling. The willing victims are the ones who have submitted themselves as vessels to be used by the devil to perpetuate his evil work on earth. Witches and wizards are good examples of willing victims. The unwilling victims become possessed through two major ways. One is based on their associations. When people stay in places that are conducive for demons, the demons find them as hosts to stay in.
I recall a time when a boy was brought to me for deliverance. He had gone somewhere and gotten loaded with so many demons that he could not kneel or walk by himself. The second way many people become possessed by demons without knowing is through the things that they expose themselves to like worldly music, movies or sex with a demon-possessed fellow. My Father-in-the Lord – Pa Josiah Akindayomi always taught us that music invites spirits.
He backed up this claim with (1 Samuel 16:23), Where David played godly music to drive away the evil spirit from Saul. (1 Corinthians 6:16) says that you become one body with whoever you sleep with. Thus, if you sleep with a demon-possessed fellow, the demon gets the full right to possess you too. If however, there is any demon within you and you are willing to be delivered, I join my faith with yours and decree that such a demon or demons must leave you now, in Jesus' name.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please put an end to every operation of demons in my life today, in Jesus' name.

Commentary: All SC mothers deserve access to high-quality prenatal care
The COVID-19 pandemic, which has disproportionately affected communities of color in South Carolina and around the nation, has highlighted the racial disparities that continue to permeate our state's health care system. And while we may finally be turning a corner in our battle against the pandemic, we must continue to work toward uprooting underlying racial health inequities — including in maternal and prenatal care for South Carolinians who rely on our state's Medicaid program to stay healthy.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that the maternal mortality rate for black women is more than twice that of white women nationally. The black infant mortality rate also remains double that of non-Hispanic white infants. These disparities stem not only from inadequate post-pregnancy coverage and care but also inadequate prenatal care.
One critical component of prenatal care is screening tests that allow expectant mothers to identify genetic disorders in their babies. Testing options include traditional serum or combined screening as well as newer options, such as noninvasive prenatal screening tests that use a mother's blood sample to analyze a baby's DNA.
Because noninvasive prenatal screening requires only a blood sample, these tests are safer than traditional screening methods and pose no risk to the fetus. Additionally, these tests have been proven to provide far more accurate results than traditional screening methods. A 2015 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that 21% of Down syndrome cases in pregnancies were missed with traditional screening, while noninvasive prenatal screening tests had a 100% success rate for detecting Down syndrome. The same study showed that older screening methods resulted in 95% increase in false positive results for common chromosomal abnormalities, causing undue stress on expectant mothers, as well as unnecessary referrals to specialists for further diagnostic or invasive testing.
Noninvasive prenatal screening is clearly the safer and more accurate option for mothers. The leading medical societies representing physicians who treat mothers and expectant mothers — including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine — recommend noninvasive prenatal screening tests for all pregnant women as part of their prenatal screening guidelines. But while most private insurers cover these noninvasive tests regardless of risk factors, South Carolinians who receive medical benefits from Medicaid remain limited in their ability to access them.
Currently, only mothers deemed "high-risk" — meaning that they are over 35 years of age, have had a prior pregnancy with a trisomy or have had an ultrasound that indicated an increased risk of an abnormal number of chromosomes — are eligible to access these safer and more accurate tests. Further, even for those few expecting mothers who can access the noninvasive tests, South Carolina Medicaid has introduced another bureaucratic hurdle — prior authorization — which further delays access to critical care. With more than 50% of the our state's Medicaid recipients identifying as black or Hispanic, once again communities of color find themselves at a disadvantage, unable to access medical services recommended by doctors.
Increasing accessibility to safer and more effective prenatal options, including noninvasive prenatal testing, for all mothers is one critical step we can take to address the racial disparities in our health care system. Public officials in Columbia — who themselves can receive noninvasive testing for any pregnancy through their health care provider PEBA — must take concrete steps that ensure all women in our state, including those who receive Medicaid benefits, have access to the safest and most accurate prenatal screening options.
State Rep. Patricia Moore Henegan represents District 54, which includes Chesterfield, Darlington and Marlboro counties. She is chair of the S.C. Legislative Black Caucus.

EXCLUSIVE: Celsius takes on world sales (excluding North America) for the teen romance which premiered at Sundance.
Thierry Wase-Bailey's London-based sales outfit Celsius Entertainment has swooped to take world sales rights (excluding North America) to Jonathan Kasdan's teen romance The First Time, produced by Friends with Benefits producers Martin Shafer and Liz Glotzer (Castle Rock Entertainment).The film, which premiered in Sundance in January, will be unveiled to buyers by Celsius in the Cannes market.
The First Time follows two teenagers over the course of one weekend. Dave, a senior about to graduate, and Aubrey, a junior from a different school, meet one night at a party. What begins as a casual conversation soon turns into something more intimate, more romantic, and more complicated than either of them is ready for.
The film stars Dylan O'Brien, Britt Robertson, Victoria Justice, Craig Roberts, James Frecheville, LaMarcus Tinker, Maggie Elizabeth Jones and Christine Tailor. The executive producers are Carol Fuchs and Liah Kim.
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions (SPWA) acquired all North American rights from Cinetic. The film will be released theatrically later this year in the US.


Here we are back again with another CASE-ing Tuesday. I needed a sympathy card and with it being almost Easter I decided to use the Calla Lillies in the set. You could change the wording and make it an Easter card also. That is another awesome idea to use when stamping. Make up a couple cards and when you need them just add the sentiment at the time. That way you have a card for every occasion.

So VitamioB4A is a B4A-Wrapper of the Vitamio-plugin. The plugin is an Android APK which includes a collection of media demuxers, decoders, filters besides some video and audio output libraries. If the user does not have the plugin installed, the user will be prompted to download and install it from Google Play. Since the first release of the B4A-wrapper, many other features have been added and now mostly the subtitles-features of the VideoView-class are missing.
Note: android:minSdkVersion="8"
VitamioB4A allows you to play video media inside your applications. The difference from the standard Android-VideoView is that VitamioB4A supports much more formats and codecs since it is based on FFMPEG.


You start by locking eyes with another.
You let your eyes become something with weight, like the deep ocean.
Slowly pulling their eyes down into the abyss of your eyes.
You will capture them so to speak for a time.
Depending on skill, practice and the resistance of the person you are messing will determine how long it will last for.
To explain a bit further you are basically making your eyes seem like a dark hole or pit.
But it has a pull, weight to it.
Like when you cannot help but look down a deep hole, thus this is the same effect.
Once they start looking in you slowly pull their eyes and in turn the mind of the person down into that pit. Once there they are yours to control for a limited time.
I hope this is a simple enough explanation!
Remember folks, these abilities can save your life, others lives and even help you in life.
But abusing them will eventually wind up badly on you so only use with caution and for the right reasons!
