Bannon: Always the Rebel
"By now, everyone in America knows Steve Bannon, the force of nature who has shaped the Trump presidency more than anyone except Trump himself. If you want to know what's behind that force of nature—if you want to know Steve Bannon the man—this is the indispensable book for you." —DAVID HOROWITZ, author of Big Agenda.
He helped engineer one of the greatest upsets in political history—the election of Donald J. Trump as president of the United States.
And he's far from done.
Now he wants to restore America—its prosperity, its sense of self, and its ability to survive a perilous twenty-first century.
To do that, former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon intends to transform the Republican Party from a club for establishment flunkies into a populist political force powerful enough to take on America's military, economic, and cultural adversaries.
In Bannon: Always the Rebel, veteran White House reporter Keith Koffler—who had hours of exclusive access to Bannon, both during and immediately after his tenure at the White House—offers a penetrating portrait of the man and his ideas.
In Bannon, you'll learn:
How Bannon's core values come from his Catholic faith, his working-class background, and his service in the Navy
How Bannon's faith helped him stop drinking
Why Bannon—even as a Harvard Business School grad—was always an outsider
How he made his money in Hollywood—and then became both a maverick writer, producer, and director of conservative documentaries and the leader of a political movement at Breitbart
How Bannon plans to remake the GOP as a workers' party that will attract minority voters and become the dominant political force of the twenty-first century
Why Bannon believes America is a civilization in crisis
Provocative, original, concise, Bannon: Always the Rebel might just change the way you think—not only about Steve Bannon, but about politics and America's future.

Because words are a great thing, the emotions deep inside my heart was reflected, not by just the inside, but also the outside world as well.
Even back in my previous world this theory is popular, words influence the world.
However, in this world it doesn't just indirectly effect but directly effects.
The soul is changed by the method of words, sometimes it's changed by the method of natural phenomenon.
Here, look at this. A red flame extended in front of me.
With those words the flame before me dispersed.
Right now I'm considerably used to it already, but I'm always wrapped in a strange sensation while using magic.
The feeling of exhaustion, and more than that, it felt like my soul was extracted. In reality the soul is actually turned into magical power, so it's an expression of when magical power is turned into magic.
Shalleze-san's half-joking words was heard.
I think she's been putting in efforts all this time.
Then, the air blew, flipping Shalleze-san's skirt.
From the standpoint of being able to use magic, the important thing is the image in your mind taking shape of the output magic.
Words is a method to output the image, a strong image can also be reflected, except for when you have another intention.
If you ask me if I want to say anything, I'll say sexual desires are frightening.
I asked as if interrupting her.
I ignored her flattery, but I pretended to be happy.
Now that I think about it, that was an answer with no ambition.
I heard from an actor that a fake laugh is harder to pull off than fake tears, but to me faking rejoice is harder than anything else.
I never got praised back in the previous world. The things I heard were consecutively boo's and bellow.
I got so into games because I wanted to escape the unpleasant memories.
I've always been scared. I ran away from those people.
I was also about this age, I was hit and got bone fractures.
All the way until middle school when I got some more physical strength, I've always ben crying.
All of the trauma planted in me came flashing back in an instance.
Perhaps it's the compensation for me always running away.
I wonder whose voice was that. A high-pitched female voice, it was so unpleasant that my body started to tremble.
I frantically clung to something.
Before I knew, I was clinging to Shalleze-san's waist.
I felt like she'll disappear if I let my hands go, strongly, I strongly clung to her.
I felt like my brain became all sloppy, I hear unpleasant voices.
I see a pale knee. I see a hand soaked in blood.
It's just imagination. Collect yourself, me.
My helpless feelings were laid bare.
That shouldn't be my parents.
What kind of face was I showing I wonder.
She raised her small body, and hugged me.
No good. I can't stop.
Tears are still flowing from my eyes right now.
If this keeps up my pretense will be blown.
That's right, I'll trick her.
I made up something non-existed.
I'll have to do that to live on.
It softly, and slowly touched me.
All the dark feelings in my brain were liberated in one breath.
Small beams of lights showed itself amidst the black darkness.
Perhaps this curse is being lifted, a long long long curse.
Then after the kiss on the cheek, she gently whispered into my ear.
I quietly shed tears in Shalleze's bosom.
That's right, I wanted support from someone. I wanted love. I wanted to be recognized. And I wanted someone by my side.

Managing emotions rigorously – Lessons from a Master
Creating customer experiences requires scripting, choreographing, and orchestrating customer moments of truth that turn out as planned. The theatrical metaphor is intentional. It takes much perceptive thinking about the effects that various sequences of actions, images, or sound effects will have on viewers to deliver the punch that a movie such as The Godfather does.
In "The Making of the Godfather" (The Godfather movie featurette) Francis Ford Coppola provides a couple of insightful glimpses on the role and challenges facing those who want to create memorable experiences. Since the Godfather saga (three movies) spans 18 years, Coppola was asked what he thought was the essence of his role in the making of the series. His answer: "I own the emotions of the Corleone family.". The central role of the director is to understand the feelings of the characters, and thus predict how they would react under various circumstances. Ultimately, an experience, —any experience, —is about emotions. The director must have the sensitivity to get under the skin of the participants, and understand what's required to induce the desired reaction. In other words, he must be the CEO of the experience, that is, the Chief Emotion Owner.
In another section of the same piece, Coppola mentions that a few weeks before the premiere of The Godfather II, they held some preliminary screenings of the movies. It was a failure. That may sound surprising today, since we now know that the movie was a resounding success. One is left to wonder: What could they possibly do have done in a few weeks to "fix" a movie that took such so much resources and talent to put together over a period of years? Get Robert de Niro to come back to do a new takes on a couple of scenes? (!) In fact, he says, they conducted focus groups to understand the reaction of the audience, i.e.that is, they obtained data in order to ascertain the facts. In the movie, flashbacks between different life stages of the Godfather (e.g.for example, from the five five-year year-old Vito Andolini in a Sicilian village to the young mobster fighting for turf in Little Italy) are used. Data showed that the audience just did not get it. In fact, Coppola realized that this was due to too many much back back-and and-forth between story lines: people lost track. Once the problem is was diagnosed, the solution is was easy to find: reduce the number of flashbacks by staying in time periods longer and alternating less frequently between epochs. So by simply stitching together reordering a number of sequences, they transformed a failed movie into a vibrant viewing experience.
This illustrates well the delicate nature of an experience: the line separating success from failure is very tenuous. It also shows that rigor (evidence-based management) is an essential complement to creativity in the creation of a successful experience, and that you should not expect to be perfect at the first trial, nor throw in the towel when you are not. A slight lag in timing, change of intonation, or glimmer in the eye would produce a different effect that could spoil the moment. It takes a good story (such as Mario Puzo's book), a good screenplay, the right actors and stage props, and above all, masterful directing, to make the movie experience come together.

Ahh my posts are moved here as off-topic because it hurts your ego? Well what's the point of debating a bunch of hindutva nationalists if you don't ave the balls to take some critic? Good day to all, tata.
Debate? Are you serious? Your posts having even 20% logic or content are at their place, but the madarsa filth you read and the delusions you live in are moved to the crap section place where they belong to.
Present facts, logic or reality and nobody have any problem. For Pakistani user IQ it is limited to mere 20%, don't ooze under it, that's not too high a bar.
That is exactly the kind of chootiyapa that refrains foreigners from joining Indians forums, specially Pakistanis and Chinese.
Where is your *censored*ing moderation when indian trolls make off topic posts and flood Pakistan related threads with bs from facebooks and twitter accounts and sell them as facts??
For the record its not just me who called surgical strikes fake. Your beloved idol Christine Fair tweeted about it calling it fictive. You needed a movie to convince yourself that its real, what a joke man.
Ahh why bother posting when I already know the post will be deleted.
You seem trigerred, Miya. Guilty conscience much or is it in fearful anticipation of what's to come?
Since you've brought up Bollywood, here's one.
To quote a dialogue from Agnipath ( the original) - saala kaancha, bandook bhi dikhaata hain aur peeche bhi jaata hain.
Ok this is getting funnier day by day. Imran khan is a chauffeur now.
It makes sence if he took the prince in his car around town.but driving prince's car?
Hope someone gets court martial. Making these videos and uploading is illegal for servicemen.
Luckily in our days there were no digital cameras, only film cameras.
I used to photograph Indian navy ships with my big asss SLR and pass on the reel to naval intelligence.
Where did you see the IN ships?
Google..... . Sorry couldn't resist.
i have on good authority that the first lab prototype of HPM has been lab tested by DRDO as well as different types of one shot EMP devices like explosively pumped flux compression generators etc.
previously BARC was doing all the work in this field , to prove the core technologies I guess and now it seems DRDO is building on the same.
Do let us know about it. Would love to know more about DEW R&D in India.
In those days. In didn't go too far out at sea.
So let's say I used to be very close by.
Damn . Just how old are you sir ?
were you officially with PA/ govt or did it as a volunteer?
I know that. I have seen those pics. But what I wanted to know was how they work, what effect they have, advantages/limitations etc. We have here I believe some understanding of how conventional weapons work and the underlying technology behind them. Same cannot be said for dew.
He is a veteran PN from 90s. Didn't server long enough I guess. Am I right @safriz ?
Well about time both @safriz and I got the tag of 'Professional'.
Yaar at the time 90% of our intelligence resources were stuck in Afghanistan.
Much of the work elsewhere had to be done by volunteers.
My work was not front line or critical. It was just information gathering, as there was no Google earth in those days.
Layout of IN naval bases, what type of ships they operate, these info had to be physically gathered by someone physically there.
You were in India then. Where are our manners ---"Welcome to my country. I hope you have a pleasant stay. Do try the local cuisine. Also don't eat too much. Carry Digene with you, cuz you never know"
So, I imagine cameras were also very different at that time. How big were they ?
That's what I said multiple times. I been to your country many times.
But thing is now the amount of information you boys can get in a few hours of googling, took us an year to gather. So talking about our work in this day and age will only make us look stupid, that's why nobody does. There is nothing to brag about anymore. Information is now so easy to come. Resources which used to be available to presidents only are now available to everyone.
Because, you were from Pakistan, you could have mistaken our coast guard for a navy. Such things happen.
So talking about our work in this day and age will only make us look stupid, that's why nobody does. There is nothing to brag about anymore.
Come on man, you served your country. There is honor in that. Just because technology advanced over time doesn't mean your effort was meaningless. We maybe enemies on the field, but you have nothing to lose if some keyboard warrior called you stupid. Do share. Let us know about your exploits, whatever isn't classified of course. Who knows we might just make another movie or something.

Q: How to check for already existing plugin versions on activation? and prevent errors If a user has a version of my plugin installed and activated, let's say version 1.1
And I send the user version 1.2 and he tries to upload and activate the new version, what will happen is that they will get an error: "Failed to redeclare activate_function()"
I'm struggling to see how I can prevent this.
If I use class_exists or function_exists to check, that's still not working, the newer version will run first, and then the older version will error out.
I just want to do it nice and smoothly without errors.
Thoughts?

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jun 09, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- AmStem Corporation /quotes/comstock/11k!amst (AMST 0.05, -.00, -2.00%) , a leading provider of biotherapeutic and cosmetic stem cell products announced today the release of HomStem(TM), a complete new line of cosmeceutical products, and HairStem(TM), a topical hair restoration product.
David Stark, President of AmStem International, Inc., said, "These revolutionary products represent the latest innovations in our continuing line of anti-aging, restoration and beauty products."
With the debut of the HomStem(TM) and HairStem(TM) line of products last month at the International Beauty Expo in Malaysia, AmStem is nearing readiness to market these products in the United States following voluntary registration with U.S. FDA. The Company is now seeking investigators for its upcoming Institutional Review Board ("IRB") submission of clinical trials later this month, and for informal consumer studies to validate claim testing and to augment marketing efforts worldwide later this year.
"These products will join our flagship product, SteMixx, which is already approved by the Korean FDA, as a 'functional cream' for the treatment of facial skin disfiguration associated with aging such as wrinkles," Stark said. "As soon as final packaging and shipping arrangements have been made and the necessary consumer studies are completed, we expect these products to be available to consumers in the U.S."
The HomStem(TM) line includes a toner, lotion, essence, neutro cream, eye cream and mist -- all for home use by the consumer for rejuvenation and beautification of the skin. The HairStem(TM) product is a topical lotion that treats several forms of alopecia (baldness), thickens hair, and prevents dandruff.
Stark said, "While these are unofficial claims until they are validated in the U.S., the history of these products in Korea is such that we expect success. Our team has extensive experience in clinical trials and working with regulatory agencies, so we expect to be able to back up our claims within 90 days, when the first data from the studies is available."
HCSM(TM), or Human Conditioned Stem Cell Media, is the Company's proprietary version of an accepted ingredient that is derived from proteins secreted by stem cells processed from the Company's own facility, one of the largest umbilical cord blood banks in the world. The cord blood is obtained from consenting donors and is a non-controversial source of stem cells. HCSM(TM) works by providing the skin with crucial proteins and nutritional supplements to make it healthy, balanced and revitalized in its ability to renew itself. For more information on these products, see the company's web site at http://www.amsteminc.com/amstem-products.


Squeezebox : Community : Forums > User Forums > General Discussion > next album button?
View Full Version : next album button?
Am I the only one who sees the utility in a next album button? I really prefer to listen in 'shuffle albums' mode, so that I still get the music in the order intended by the artist. But often, shufle albums will deliver several albums in a row that I'm not in the mood for, and there doesn't appear to be any way to just skip to the next album, without fast forwarding through 10+ songs.
My very first hard drive mp3 player (personal jukebox - the first of its kind) had this functionality. You could make the next/prev buttons apply to any field - track, album, artist, genre, playlist etc, and it was really useful for rapidly jumping to the next thing when in a random mode. I miss that functionality terribly, and not one audio device that I am aware of has implemented it.
Does anyone else out there think that holding down the next/prev button, or maybe double pressing it rapidly, should result in the next album, when listening in shuffle albums mode? How would one go about making this change? Is it something that can be done in slimserver, or does it need to be done in the firmware of the player?
Am I the only one who sees the utility in a next album button?
I really prefer to listen in 'shuffle albums' mode, so that I still get the music in the order intended by the artist.
Do you mean via the Random Mix plugin? I wasn't aware there was a 'shuffle albums' mode.
But often, shufle albums will deliver several albums in a row that I'm not in the mood for, and there doesn't appear to be any way to just skip to the next album, without fast forwarding through 10+ songs.
If indeed you're using Random Mix, then you should request this capability from the plugin author.
>> Am I the only one who sees the utility in a next album button?
>> the music in the order intended by the artist.
There is. As part of the shuffle options: Song, Album, Off.
Sometimes I wonder if the bugzilla database has outgrown its usefulness - at least for end users. Old bugs and feature requests may as well not exist now that there are over 700 open entries in the db. Most everything just gets marked 'Future'. What are the actual chances that a feature request nearly two years old will ever be implemented?
> - at least for end users.
Interestingly, it is not for end users. It is for developers.
> a feature request nearly two years old will ever be implemented?
actually KNOW anyting??" six months later.
they still find it useful.
and I suspect you well know that.
who knows. only one vote, so clearly no one cares about that one.
Not much of a metric. Even on the 'hot' issues nobody votes - they just CC themselves.
IT'S NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFETIME. SORRY.
So, back to the original question then... granted that the bug 460 is a bit old and never got taken seriously... this may be because its usefulness was limited before RandomPlay came along. But if you're going to have a Shuffle By Album mode, it seems to me that OP's request to have a "skip" to next album is entirely reasonable.
Implementation not too hard: if ffwd gets a press/hold, and you are in Album shuffle mode, clear the playlist and go get a new Album different from the current one. Similarly if you are in Year and Genre mode, perhaps?
In Track mode, you could either treat it just the same as a normal skip (just skip one track) or, perhaps more usefully, clear the playlist and refill it ("I've looked at what's coming up and I don't like any of it...").
Single press ffwd skips forward to next track, whilst hold-ffwd goes into track fast-forward play for me - I wouldn't want to lose that. It would have to be another key, or make the action configurable.
As another thought, can't you press right-arrow to go into song info, navigate to the album name or artist name, and press Add to remove all tracks in the current playlist for the selected item? Music would then continue with the next remaining item in the playlist. It might confuse random play with the number of tracks queued up for future play though?
With the Random Mix plug-in, you can already achieve this (if I've understood things correctly). I've got a custom map set-up with "press-and-hold" 7,8 or 9 for random tracks, albums or artists.
Thanks - what functions have you mapped those keys to?


BISHKEK, November 24. /TASS/. Kyrgyzstan's new President Sooronbay Jeenbekov officially took office on Friday, the presidential press service told TASS.
The inauguration ceremony was held at the Ala-Archa state residence in the capital of Bishkek. Jeenbekov swore an oath, vowing to adhere to the Central Asian republic's constitution and "defend people's unity, integrity and security of the state."
"After that, Jeenbekov and the republic's former president Almazbek Atambayev together went to the parliament's building, where the presidential administration is also located, so that Atambayev could personally accompany the new head of state to his cabinet," the press service said.
Jeenbekov, who formerly served as the prime minister, was nominated for the president by the Social-Democratic Party of Kyrgyzstan in summer 2017. During the October 15 elections, he was backed by more than 54% of voters, securing victory already in the first round.
Jeenbekov's assumption of office is the first peaceful power transfer in Kyrgyzstan's contemporary history. The two former presidents, Askar Akayev and Kurmanbek Bakiyev, were toppled during the revolutions and fled the country.
Atambayev was unable to run in this year's election as the country's law bans Kyrgyz citizens from serving as president for more than one six-year term.

David's dish is simply stunning. A wonderful combination of local produce.
Peel the potatoes and slice as thinly as possible using the mandolin and mix with the salt. Leave for a couple of minutes to release the starch then fan out into a flower shape (as seen in picture) onto a tray lined with parchment paper. Top with another sheet of parchment paper and place the second tray on top. Place in preheated oven (170°c) for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and place to one side to cool.
Peel the potatoes and top & tail (cut off the ends). Cut into 2 (or 3 if big) round sections. Place into the pan and add enough of the stock to cover the potato. Add the butter and slowly bring to the boil. As soon as boiling temperature is reached remove from heat and leave to cook in residual heat.
Place garlic cloves into a pan and cover with the oil. Heat to approx. 90°c. Remove from heat and leave to cool. Peel the garlic once cooled.
Peel and dice the potatoes, place into boiling water. While these are cooking slice the onion thinly and place in a hot saucepan with the rapeseed oil, cooking until soft and slightly caramelised in colour.
Drain the potatoes once cooked and place back into the pan adding the onions once cooked and pouring the double cream over. Bring to the boil. Once boiling temperature has been reached remove from heat and pour into a food processor. Blitz until smooth and season to taste.
Place oil in a frying pan and bring to medium heat. Season the Quail breasts and place into the pan skin side down, cook for 3-4 minutes then turn. Place the butter into the pan and baste for a further 2-3 minutes. Once cooked remove the Quail breasts and leave to one side to rest for 2 minutes.

I got several interviews, and one company gave me an offer, but I had to reject it because their work times can't fit mine and they won't allow flexible work hours. To save my time, I want to know if I can ask work hour questions during an interview so that I will know if I can accept the job at the beginning. Is it okay to do that? Is there any difference to asking an employer or a how to change sketch plane in solidworks Image source: pixabay.com.

Click on each question below to see the answer.
Absolutely. We generally order your vehicle's parts at the time that we write the estimate and schedule your vehicle for drop-off a couple of days later unless your vehicle is found unsafe to drive, then we would help you arrange for a rental vehicle as soon as possible. This enables us to provide quicker turnaround time.
No. A car is a total loss only when the price of repairs exceeds the insurance company's determined value of your vehicle. Nowadays, most cars are built using unibody (frame and body as one) construction. Our highly skilled technicians, with the aid of our state-of the-art computer measuring system , can return your vehicle to its original factory specifications. If it is determined that the frame section is bent beyond repair, that section can simply be replaced.
Today's modern factory finishes incorporate multiple layers of highly specialized paints. We have made a major investment in the finest paint system available and constantly upgrades its technology and equipment to ensure that each vehicle's paint matches. We take special pride in our ability to match factory finishes as the final step in the restoration process.
Can I Get Other Service Work Done On My Vehicle While It Is In The Body Shop?
Yes. We guarantee all repairs with a Lifetime Warranty.
The amount of deductible that you will be responsible for is determined by your insurance policy. If you aren't sure about your deductible, you would need to contact your insurance agent.
It will be your responsibility to pay us your deductible when you pick up your vehicle. If you aren't sure about your deductible amount, contact your insurance agent.
The easiest and most convenient way to pay for your portion of the repairs to your vehicle is with a major credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard, & Discover. Of course, cash and checks are always welcome.
Parts that wear out and need replacement with time and use (such as tires, batteries, and suspension parts), are commonly subject to betterment charges when they are replaced with new parts during the repair process. These betterment charges are determined by your insurance company and are pro-rated based on actual miles on your vehicle.
DON'T · Do not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface. · Do not "dry wipe" your vehicle. Dry wiping can scratch the finish. · Do not drive on gravel roads. Chipping the finish is easily done in the first 30 days. · Avoid parking under trees and utility lines which are likely to attract birds. Bird droppings have a high acid content and will damage a freshly painted surface. Also, tree sap can mar or spot a freshly painted surface. · Do not spill gasoline, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, or windshield solvent on the new finish. · Do not scrape ice or snow from the newly painted surface.
DON'T · Do not wax or polish the vehicle. This will allow the finish to dry and harden completely.


Faith, hope and love….and the greatest is love.
The scripture above is often used at weddings to remind the husband and wife of the importance of love. It also, if you will, gives a sort of job description of how that love is manifested in the life of the married couple.
It, however, is not only a prescription for happiness for two people. It is also a job description for each of us as we live our lives in this world.
I have given much thought to how I respond to the things that are happening in our world today, particularly in our country. I was motivated to begin this blog to express concerns, share information, and, most of all restore a sense of honor to the dialogue.
I wanted to provide information to correct falsehoods and prevent the spread of outright lies. I wanted to bring the focus to the things that were True. I wanted to restore the civil discourse that will help us solve problems and live up to what our system of government was designed to do. I still want to do that.
The discourse in this country has unfortunately deteriorated. We are human and succumb to this because we are flawed human beings. I am no different. I have spoken in anger and on occasion when my anger takes over I have, on very few occasions but on occasion nonetheless, assisted in spreading information that is not true. I have, I believe, on each of those occasions apologized and set the record straight.
I was listening to a podcast from Truth for Life by Alistair Begg and was struck by how the Truth in the Bible IS for life. It is a sort of "how to" manual for us to be what God intends for us to be.
I have long thought about how one handles speaking truth when it is unpleasant. Does the passage above mean that we just ignore anything done to us that harms us? I don't think so, but let's look closer.
This brought to mind a blog post a friend shared some time back. It was basically a chastisement to Christians who were highly vocal about what is happening in this country. The bottom line was that God is in control, He will determine the outcome, and if you are a person who has placed your faith in His promises you should basically stop complaining, don't worry and be happy.
He goes on to also point out that when the Apostle Paul expressed righteous indignation it was not a result of his personal injury but because of the distortion of the Truth and the presence of immorality.
It seems that when Christians express this righteous indignation regarding the distortion of Truth and the presence of behavior that is contrary to our beliefs we are immediately instructed to shut up. We are told that it does not harm us personally so we need to be tolerant. If we persist in expressing our belief that certain behaviors harm us all we are told we are hate-filled bigots. PLEASE note I am not talking about the behavior of the people of the Westboro Baptist Church. I am talking about that very difficult task of speaking the Truth in Love.
The next part of the job description of Agape love he addresses is: Love keeps no record of wrongs. Which brought to mind Reverend Jesse Jackson, Reverend Al Sharpton, and Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Love does not keep a ledger of all the wrongs ever done. It does not store in their memory banks the account of wrongs received.
He shares that in the field of anthropology one can find communities that were primarily either feasting or fighting. So, they always had a great pot boiling so as to be prepared for the feast but they also attached to themselves the reminders of their feuds. When they were home they would hang them from their roofs and when they journeyed they would hang them from their belts.
So it is with persons such as this that when you meet them there is every evidence on their person that they had been wronged.
Which leads me to my final struggle for the purposes of this post.
I've gotten some interesting replies which lead to even greater discussions. However, one of the things I want them to think about is looking deeper into the characters…the character of the characters as well as the reality of who they are.
I believe the fact that a wolf was created to be a meat eater as opposed to a vegetarian makes his claim that he was not intending to harm the pigs a bit suspect. The fact that he ate other tasty animals prior to this occasion is an important fact to remember. And, if in the past he has also lied about it is important to remember while deciding if you trust his version.
So, my question is this: Do we dismiss all facts and evidence that will allow us to decide whether or not Truth is being distorted or whether something is immoral and therefore damaging to our society? Do we "forget" what man is capable of when given infinite power and control over others? Do we forget the mistakes that have been made that have harmed others…or do we learn from them?
I find it almost incomprehensible how many people in our country can "forget" the atrocities committed by those who espoused, and espouse today, the philosophies such as Marxism and Communism and yet, at the same time, keep a record of every wrong committed by people who subscribe to a conservative Christian world view.
I find it equally astonishing that the three Christian pastors mentioned above have not only kept a record of wrongs but they have actively and, I believe, maliciously, continued to keep the pain alive and fuel the hate.
So, it is not difficult to realize that the Agape love job description for us as individuals is a difficult one to follow, but our individual salvation depends upon it. Individual salvation not collective salvation.
So, I agree with John Adams. Our Constitutional Republic was made for a moral and religious people. When we see honor, honesty, integrity and other foundational values being compromised we WILL see the deterioration of the protections afforded to us by our Founding Documents. But the name of my blog says it all: Restoring honor starts here….here with me….with each individual. So, I will continue to strive to follow the job description God has laid out for me…even if it is difficult and even if I sometimes fail.

Was Joseph Rykwert in his classic essay The House of Adam in Paradise who has shown how to inhabit the land has been one of the basic challenges of every culture , leaving the architecture in its most generic sense , the work of my solving forms and ways in which such dwelling is defined , and daring to establish a certain parallelism between two ends of history : first , the Arunta tribe , located in the valley of the Finke river in central Australia , who resigned even the most basic ways to solve your room , and on the other , the ideas of Le Corbusier in Towards an architecture , attentive to problematize the home of modern man.
Reading Rykwert merely affect all aspects history of forms of culture have to clarify . In his later work , Pierre Bourdieu has made clear how the house reveals the precise position of an individual in the social space and symbolic space , giving the coordinates of a number of factors that define the individual socially . In the symbolic hierarchy , the visibility of the house is relentless. Nothing like it enough to define the aspects that build rather than an individual in the economic , social and even cultural context of a particular time.
each time. It contains reiterates Bourdieu, economic and social , cultural and symbolic .
Visit today, for example , the house of Schinkel or Reynolds allows us to understand how the universe rests in them transcends the strictly typological or formal orders to get us into a world in which everything from the architecture to the decorative arts, is conjugate from the thought of a particular taste that the individual who inhabits it imposes on its composition. A taste , from the eighteenth century , is the expression of a new individual that changes the relationship of appropriation of the arts , becoming these a projection of a fixed subjectivity that his understanding of the life, history , experience human .
The triumph of the metropolis as a privileged scenario of modern life drags forms of housing and , as Georg Simmel later recorded , the relationships of the modern individual with the social space. This happy relationship that opens the nineteenth century and became a model for modern life , will be shaken by criticism , from the fin-de- siecle , bursts and problematizes legitimacy century naturalism had established. A hidden complicity leaving the increasingly dramatic split between life and form , and Simmel recognized as the cause of the drama of modern life . Adolf Loos establish the border and limit a concept that undoubtedly contained in his own speech ideas of a new concept of modern living .
Loos Tension tour opened by the first decades of the twentieth century , finding in the intellectual debate that follows the end of the Great War its central point. The idea of Berlin as Weltstadt had all those ideas that are the basis of the definition of a new project, built from what Walter Gropius defined as a new universalist perspective, a project whose construction the best intentions to be dedicated the 1920s . Without going into a detailed assessment of what these ideas meant and difficulties that accompanied its implementation, we meet with the ethical manifesto, which, in favor of a new architecture , Mies van der Rohe proposed and will appear at 7 Die Form , in June 1931 . Mies writes: " The property of our time does not yet exist , however, the transformation of living conditions will make it necessary . " . Once again it will return to the view that understands the project articulated architecture with the social and cultural processes that ultimately define an era. Everyone knows that the years following the Great War were decisive in defining a project that political circumstances made it impossible . But , however , that tension that marked passionately toured the interwar years .
became then in a difficult argument to avoid, especially for those who were thinking of a story like experience and realization of human reason .

2022 budget adopted by Comox Valley Regional District
Thursday, Apr. 14th, 2022
Photo by Kim Stallknecht
The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) has adopted its 2022 budget for $189.8 million.
The budget has $86.2 million set aside for operating and $103.6 million for capital projects. The district says "good fiscal management and financial best practices" were part of the plan.
The CVRD says the budget represents a return to normal, pre-pandemic service levels for many regional services. They add many services still face a number of uncertainties because of the pandemic.
The financial plan also reflects the major capital projects going on in the region, according to the CVRD. The projects include:
Completing construction of the regional organics composting facility in Campbell River, for operation in late 2022
Final design, engineering and procurement work for the Comox Valley sewer conveyance project, expected to begin in spring 2023
Wrap up of the Comox Valley water treatment plant project, which celebrated its opening on Sept. 21, 2021
The financial plan results in an overall 3.78 per cent increase in property tax requisitions from 2021. The CVRD says the tax will depend on the services.
"The CVRD delivers 102 services across the entire Comox Valley," said CVRD board chair Jesse Ketler. "Each homeowner's property tax impact will vary depending on the mix of regional district services provided to either the municipality or electoral (rural) area in which their home is located."
The district says residents who are unsure what services are provided in their area can call them at 250-334-6000.
Three additional services including the Denman and Hornby Islands high-speed internet contribution, Saratoga Beach community mosquito management and the Baynes Sound community facilities all had successful public assent processes in 2021.
More information about the budget can be found on the CVRD website.


we could solve optimally but feel that this is not worth the effort (time, money, etc) we would expend in finding the optimal solution.
In such cases we can use a heuristic algorithm - that is an algorithm that should hopefully find a feasible solution that, in objective function terms, is close to the optimal solution. In fact it is often the case that a well-designed heuristic algorithm can give good quality (near-optimal) results.
Only one man can be assigned to one job and all the men should be assigned. What would be a heuristic algorithm for this problem? (For a solution see below).
Note that this problem is called the assignment problem.
We should stress here that a heuristic algorithm should be capable of being applied to the problem even if the costs in the above matrix are changed (i.e. a heuristic algorithm is a set of general rules for solving the problem that are independent of the particular data case being considered).
The principal advantages of heuristic algorithms are that such algorithms are (often) conceptually simpler and (almost always) much cheaper computationally than optimal algorithms.
One (simple) heuristic for the assignment problem would be: choose a man and a job at random. Assign the chosen man to the chosen job. Delete the chosen man and the chosen job from the problem and repeat with this new (smaller) problem.
This heuristic does not use any of the cost information and so we would not expect it to give very good results.
Note however the idea of repetition. This is a common concept in heuristic algorithms (both because it eases the task of programming the heuristic, and because if a certain algorithmic step is a good idea then why not repeat it?).
A better heuristic might be: choose the smallest cost in the cost matrix (ties broken arbitrarily) and assign the corresponding man to the corresponding job - delete them from the problem and repeat with this new (smaller) problem.
This illustrates a problem that often occurs with heuristics in that by the third assignment (of B to job 2) we have been "painted into a corner" by previous assignments and have little or no choice left (with the result that we have to assign B to job 2 at relatively high cost).
Because of this problem a common idea with heuristics is the concept of interchange - the basic idea here is to juggle with the current solution to see if we can improve it e.g. with the solution above could we improve it by, for example, swapping the assignments of A and C thereby assigning A to job 3 and C to job 1? Here this swap is not worthwhile but some swaps (interchanges) are e.g. swap the assignments of A and B.
Heuristic algorithms for integer programming problems are widespread in the literature and applied quite widely in practice.
Note particularly here that we designed the above heuristic without ever having a mathematical formulation of the problem.
By generic here we mean that there is a general framework/approach from which to build an algorithm. All of these generic approaches however must be tailored for the particular IP we are considering. In addition we can design heuristics purely for the particular problem we are considering (problem-specific heuristics).
Heuristics for IP's are widespread in the literature and applied quite widely in practice. Less has been reported though in terms of heuristics for MIP's.

Referendum on Ducey's income tax cut qualifies for ballot
By Laura Gómez, Arizona Mirror
Laura Gómez, Arizona Mirror
Arizona voters will get the final say on Gov. Doug Ducey's legacy income tax cut package that was signed into law earlier this year, after a coalition of public education groups successfully forced a public vote in 2022.
The Secretary of State's Office announced Friday that the referendum effort gathered more than the 118,823 signatures needed to block the tax cuts from going into effect unless voters approve them next year. It will be called Proposition 307, said Sophia Solis, spokesperson for the Secretary of State's Office.
Ducey's income tax cuts, which serve as his legacy policy achievement during his two terms as governor, dramatically reform Arizona's tax system. Instead of a progressively graduated system with a maximum rate of 4.5%, Arizona will shift to two income tax rates: 2.55% for people who earn $27,272 annually and 2.98% for those who earn more than that. The tax law changes in Senate Bill 1828 also create a single 2.5% rate as soon as 2023 if state revenues hit certain triggers.
Legislative budget analysts concluded that it would cost the state about $1 billion annually. And while all taxpayers would see a reduction in income taxes, the wealthy receive the largest benefit: the poorest Arizonans would save $1 a year while the wealthiest would keep an average of nearly $350,000. The typical Arizona family would save about $42 a year, on average.
The tax cuts were designed to shield the wealthy Arizonans from the Invest in Education Act that voters approved in 2020. That voter-approved measure, also known as Proposition 208, imposes a 3.5% surcharge on income greater than $250,000 for individuals and $500,000 for couples, with the money directed to public schools to increase teacher pay and boost overall funding.
Prop. 208 will likely never go into effect. The Arizona Supreme Court ruled in August that it's subject to the Arizona Constitution's spending limits for K-12 education, setting the stage for a new trial court ruling that is expected to invalidate the measure.
The legislative analysis shows that Arizona families making less than $100,000 a year will see single-digit percentage reductions in the taxes they pay, while the wealthy reap much larger savings. Families making more than $200,000 will save more than 22% of their tax bill. Those savings jump to more than 40% for households earning more than $1 million a year.
The coalition that passed the Invest in Education Act in 2020 came together this year under the name Invest in Arizona to block the tax cuts. Arizona's constitution allows for citizens to refer new laws to the ballot for public approval if they gather enough signatures within 90 days of the legislative session's end, and Invest in Arizona submitted 215,787 petition signatures.
There are other hurdles the Invest in Arizona campaign must overcome before the referral can go to the ballot. The Arizona Free Enterprise Club, a conservative advocacy group, has filed two lawsuits challenging the referendum. The first lawsuit argues that the tax cuts are not subject to citizen referenda, and is awaiting the judge's ruling following oral arguments on Nov. 5. The second suit, which is on hold pending the outcome of the first case, challenges the validity of the referendum campaign's signatures.
The Daily Agenda: He Couldn't Duck the Filibuster Forever
Sonoran Explorin': Miso & Money Trees at Grant Stone Supermarket
Bordering On Chaos: The Number of Illegal Border Crossers is Reaching an All-Time High
Initially, the Invest in Arizona campaign sought to stop three laws from taking effect this year: SB1828; Senate Bill 1827, which caps the tax rate at 4.5% for those with incomes greater than $250,000 for individuals or $500,000 for joint filers; and Senate Bill 1783, which creates a new business individual income tax with a 4.5% flax rate that some taxpayers can opt into — and any taxpayers who do so would be exempt from the Invest in Education surcharge.
The coalition didn't submit signatures to block SB1827, and the effort to refer SB1783 to the ballot failed, missing the threshold by 18,461 signatures.

Stop accusing rape survivors of lying
By Nomahlubi Jordaan - 19 October 2018 - 07:33
Prosecutor Nceba Ntelwa listens to Cheryl Zondi. /Werner Hills
For rape survivors, retelling their story in court can be daunting and "horrifying" - and sometimes even worse than the experience itself.
So said one of the victims of former tennis champion Bob Hewitt, who was sentenced to six years in jail after being convicted of raping two teenagers and sexually assaulting another. The woman asked not to be named.
She said facing up to the perpetrator and his ruthless defence team was extremely difficult.
She explained: "It was pretty scary and horrifying. The defence became very nasty. I had [Hewitt] staring down at me. His wife was staring down at me. The trial is worse than the experience itself."
That's why victims don't report rape - Omotoso's lawyer slated for insensitive questioning
The alleged harrowing tale of Cheryl Zondi's rape ordeal has drawn support for the alleged victim from all corners of the country.
She said once she had established a pattern in the defence lawyer's questioning, she gained confidence. Hewitt, once a major name on the international professional tennis circuit, was convicted in March 2015 of raping two teenage tennis pupils and sexually assaulting a third in the 1980s and 1990s.
He was sentenced to six years in jail and started serving his sentence at an Eastern Cape prison in September 2016 after an unsuccessful appeal that went all the way to the Constitutional Court.
Despite being able to hold it together and standing up to the defence during cross examination, the trauma of being "exposed" was there, said Hewitt's victim.
She was speaking in the wake of public anger over how Cheryl Zondi, one of several women who were allegedly raped by Nigerian pastor Timothy Omotoso, was questioned in court during testimony this week.
Zondi has been hailed for her bravery and courage of facing up to defence lawyer Peter Daubermann during Omotoso's trial at the Port Elizabeth high court.
Daubermann, who is representing Omotoso, has since the start of cross-examination been accused of asking Zondi insensitive questions. Omotoso, 60, and his co-accused Lusanda Sulani, 36, and Zukiswa Sitho, 28, face a litany of charges ranging from sexual assault to rape and human trafficking.
Mzansi stands by heroic Cheryl Zondi as she stands her ground in Omotoso trial
Cheryl Zondi is rapidly rising as the face of South Africa's rape survivors.
"I can relate to her. My heart bleeds for her. Why do we have to prove that we are not lying?" asked Hewitt's victim.
"As much as I held it together, the experience was traumatic. The attorney kept on saying I consented. This business of us having to prove we are not lying has to stop.
"The trauma does not just end inside the courtroom. I was told by people outside court that I liked what happened to me. You can't come back from that."
This is a similar experience to what is happening in the Omotoso case, where the pastor's vocal supporters have been present inside and outside court.
She urged victims of rape due to testify in court to stick to their story - even if they are accused of lying.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Luvuyo Mfaku said the victims were prepared for trial by the court preparation officers. "This programme rendered by court preparation officers empowers victims and witnesses to have the confidence to appear in court and give their best evidence, preventing secondary traumatisation and safeguarding their rights."
Court preparation officers, according to Mfaku, provided witnesses with tips before court, during court and post-trial. "Fears and concerns about testifying will be addressed with the aim to reduce secondary victimisation," Mfaku said.

Removing undesired tracks and Blocking artists directly from the "Inspired by" and "Discover" playlists.
Let me start off by saying that i am not enjoying the service. There are some things that are not well thought of by the developers and it's just infuriating to say the least.
I recently saw that a new feature was added where a user can block an artist by heading to their artist's page, sure that's a nice addition but really though is it a must i head to their page? It's a long process. Why can't i just click on the music's menu (where there's "add to playlist", "listen next", "add to queue", "play with lyrics" etc ) and block the artist from there? I'm sure that's something that can be done easily.
So when i have blocked (Don't recommend this artist) by clicking on the track's menu, that song should be removed from the playlist immediately because i don't want to listen and see it in the current playlist i'm in whether in the "Inspired by" or "Discover" playlist.
I know that there is a similar "feature" to what I've mentioned above, that is on a track's menu - 'report a problem/ undesirable content' but that so called feature doesn't work at all because despite reporting a track as an undesirable content i keep on getting it on future "Inspired by" and "Discover" playlists and this is why i stopped all together listening to "Inspired by" and "Discover" playlists.
Don't tell me to use the "flow" feature because it mostly plays songs that i have listened to and i want to discover new songs and i can't because it plays songs that i really hate. I honestly don't want to listen to local music (Kenyan music, which where i live) because that is what this streaming service keeps on recommending to me and once again i simply don't like Kenyan music. Sure i can skip them but it ruins the experience because almost half of the playlist is local music and i'm not ready to do all that. That is one of the main reasons i unsubscribed from the service. I remain in your service because of the flow feature and it's the only streaming service that is available in my region otherwise i wouldn't be here.
Solution to this: allow users to control their recommends by the location(which will fix my problem) - example recommend songs based on the countries I've selected, secondly by genre (very important) and Artists (also very important). Sure this beats the purpose of having to select the genre and artists preferred when first time signing up for the service but i strongly advice the developers to add this feature.
The system that recommends tracks in these "Inspired by" and "Discover" playlists doesn't work well - simply awful.
Sorry for my rambling and i know this is long but i just had to say it.
Able to block artists directly from the track's menu.
Able to remove a track in the "Inspired by" and "Discover" playlists which will immediately do so and in future it will never be recommended also, an option should be added where the user can remove the track only or remove the track and block the artist.
Allow users to control/adjust their recommends based on the location(selected/preferred location), genre and Artists.

Each day, teeth slowly lose minerals from their surface through a process called demineralization. Over time, this process can make tooth enamel weak and susceptible to decay. Over time, this process can make tooth enamel weak and susceptible to decay.
Clocks in the Rocks The following radioactive decay processes have proven particularly useful in radioactive dating for geologic processes Lead isochrons are also an important radioactive dating process.
decay meaning 1. to become gradually damaged, worse, or less; to cause something to do this 2. If a radioactive substance decays, it changes to a different form, producing radiation 3.
Tooth decay (also known as dental caries) originates when bacteria produce acid that destroys the surface of the teeth. The decay process is gradual. When decay advances to the point where a hole forms in the enamel, this is called a cavity.
This is a sign of early decay.Tooth decay can be stopped or reversed at this point. Enamel can repair itself by using minerals from saliva, and fluoride from toothpaste or other sources. But if the tooth decay process continues, more minerals are lost.
Mineral Cycle There are three phases to the mineral cycle, which in turn is part of the larger carbon cyclethe process of Birth, Growth, Reproduction, Death, and Decay. When they are all working together the cycle is effective.
Figure 6.5 As weathering breaks down a rock into smaller particles, the surface area increases so that the process of chemical weathering is accelerated. Dissolving of Minerals. 1. Slightly acidic rainwater can also react with nonsilicates in a rock or soil.
The common potassiumargon dating process makes use of the decay of 40 K to 40 Ar, even though much more of the 40 K decays to 40 Ca. The reason is that 40 Ca is common in minerals, and sorting out what fraction of that calcium came from potassium decay is not practical.
Since the mineral troilite contains no U, all of the Pb present in the troilite is the Pb originally present, and none of it has been produced by U decay. Thus, the troilite in the Femeteorites will give us the initial ratios of 206 Pb/ 204 Pb and 207 Pb/ 204 Pb.
Demineralization is part of the process of tooth decay, and the minerals can be recovered and the enamel restrengthened as long as it happens before the decay starts and the lattice breaks down. Once the enamel has started to decay, there is no way to regrow it.
Decay process Using the second tab you will be presented with four information inputs; the quantity remains N(t) , initial quantity N0 , time t , and halflife t189; .
Theres one more step to really make this inthemouth remineralization support process work. We have to get these minerals to the areas that need the support. The problem is that tooth decay actually happens under the surface of our teeth (at first). In our article, How Teeth Decay, we dive more fully into this interesting process.
Start studying MDA Chapter 13, Dental Caries. Learn vocabulary, terms, and more with flashcards, games, and other study tools. Search. The infectious disease process of tooth decay. When more minerals are lost (demineralization) from the enamel than are deposited.
As plaque accumulates in your mouth forming tooth decaying acids after every meal, a process known as demineralization occurs. During this process, tooth enamel begins to deteriorate slowly but can be replenished, or remineralized, with your saliva.
Tooth decay is caused by a deficiency of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in the body needed to build healthy teeth. Daily, the calcium and phosphate of the enamel is migrating out of the teeth to the bones, heart, brain and other places where it is needed.
Dating Principles of isotopic dating All absolute isotopic ages are based on radioactive decay, a process whereby a specific atom or isotope is converted into another specific atom or isotope at a constant and known rate. Most elements exist in different atomic forms that are identical in their chemical properties but differ in the number of neutral particlesi.e., neutronsin the nucleus.
Dawn is the creator of Small Footprint Family, Demineralization is part of the process of tooth decay, and the minerals can be recovered and the enamel restrengthened as long as it happens before the decay starts and the lattice breaks down.
Decomposition is the process by which organic substances are broken down into simpler matter. The process is a part of nutrient cycle and is essential for recycling the finite matter that occupies physical space in the biosphere.
Stage Two Enamel Decay. In stage two of tooth decay, the enamel starts breaking underneath the tooths surface. At this stage, the natural remineralization process is unable to restore the proper enamel and minerals, causing a lesion to form within the tooth. As the decay persists, the surface of the tooth risks breaking, which is irreversible.

What is Fluoride? Fluoride is a natural mineral found throughout the earth's crust and widely distributed in nature. Some foods and water supplies contain fluoride. Fluoride is often added to drinking water to help reduce tooth decay.
where is the decay constant, D is the number of daughter atoms and N is the remaining number of radioactive atoms. This age is an actual measurement of elapsed time, instead of a relative measure (e.g., old, older, oldest); we therefore call time scales based on radioactive decay absolute time scales .

10 Unmissable TV Shows the Internet Saved for You
Christian Cawley June 8, 2015 08-06-2015 10 minutes
Of all the amazing benefits of the Internet, one that is often overlooked is its ability to resurrect forgotten cultural icons. While movies have been the subject of remakes, and comic strips have been relaunched, the real successes have been TV shows, particularly in the English-speaking world.
Here, we present a list of 10 outstanding TV shows that you really shouldn't miss. Each of which has been cancelled by its network, only to be resurrected in the Internet age. And it's all thanks to the continued support from fans, who have started online petitions, tweeted industry execs, and written tributes in order to bring their favorite shows back to life.
It's amazing to think that back in 2002, The X-Files was cancelled after nine years, and 202 episodes, following a poorly-received ninth series. However, Chris Carter's sprawling tale of small-scale oddballs terrorizing towns, and alien conspiracy theories – played out over the desire of David Duchovny's maverick FBI Agent Fox Mulder to find his missing sister – just wouldn't go away.
Perhaps it was the chemistry Duchovny shared with co-star Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully, or maybe it was just the fact that the show managed to tap into the zeitgeist. Either way, it has remained popular through reruns and DVD sales, and is a high bar for comparison with later shows.
Although the 2008 movie The X-Files: I Want to Believe brought Mulder and Scully back into the public consciousness, the real resurrection is yet to happen. In 2013 Chris Carter announced that further series of The X-Files depended on 20th Century Fox; in March 2015, it was finally confirmed that the show would return for a six-episode series, to air in 2016.
Beyond The X-Files, there has also been a concerted campaign to bring back Millennium, Chris Carter's other much-missed show set in the same fictional universe. For details, see www.backtofrankblack.com.
Somehow, the exploits of the Bluth family, as seen on Arrested Development, which ran on Fox from November 2003 to February 2006, gained enough of a following in its 54 episodes that almost 10 years after the first series, Netflix released a fourth season of 15 episodes. How? Mostly through repeat screenings and a cult online following Keeping Up With The Bluth Family: Discover Arrested Development On The Web Keeping Up With The Bluth Family: Discover Arrested Development On The Web Arrested Development is back, with Netflix having given the show a lifeline by commissioning new episodes. Here's hoping that this time Arrested Development is watched by the size of audience it deserves. To give the... Read More .
The secret of this sitcom is its setting, and the various idiosyncrasies. For instance, there's the uncredited narration by renowned movie director Ron Howard (whose original idea led to the show's development), and the fact that it follows a family that has just lost its wealth.
Strong scripts and a tight ensemble cast – including 1980s teen heartthrob Jason Bateman – are reflected by Arrested Development's persistently strong reviews and a collection of awards, including Emmys and Golden Globes, across the show's history.
A favorite since it launched on NBC in 2009, Community – which follows a group of students at community college – was axed by the network in 2014 after five series. A favorite of TV critics and the focus of a cult following, Community had long lived by the mantra 'six seasons and movie' (as uttered in the episode "Paradigms of Human Memory"), so it made poetic sense that a sixth series should happen.
In June 2014, just weeks after NBC announced the show's cancellation, Yahoo! confirmed that it was commissioning a sixth series of Community for online enjoyment through Yahoo! Screen. Filming for this completed in March 2015, and the necessary movie is already in the early stages of production.
Cancelled twice by the BBC (the original run was 1988 to 1993, followed by three series 1997-1999), Red Dwarf was thought lost to time, a rare sci-fi comedy (and one of the funniest BBC comedies of all time 8 of the Funniest BBC Comedies of All Time [Stuff to Watch] 8 of the Funniest BBC Comedies of All Time [Stuff to Watch] British comedy is typified by dry wit, slapstick visuals and strong comic actors.

However, when the old episodes were screened on British comedy channel Dave between 2009 and 2012, it became apparent that a strong fanbase for the show – starring Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules and Robert Llewellyn – was demanding new episodes.
The answer? Give them what they want. Following a 2009 three-episode production to celebrate the show's arrival on Dave, Red Dwarf X (the series have had Roman numeral suffixes since 1989's second series) was commissioned in 2011, and its strong ratings in 2012 resulted in two more runs (naturally Red Dwarf XI and XII) being confirmed in 2015, with broadcast planned for 2016 and 2017.
Red Dwarf has always been cult viewing, and the majority of its series were produced on a low budget and filmed in front of a live audience. If you've never seen it, think of it as a really dysfunctional Big Bang Theory set on a spaceship.
Back when the Web was the domain of nerds, geeks, and hackerz, Family Guy was a popular animated show for grownups to watch when the kids were in bed. With echoes of The Simpsons but less subtlety to the laugh-out-loud humor, Seth MacFarlane's show was cancelled in 2001, after just three short series.
So why is it still running? After a total of 13 seasons, the show has amassed 248 episodes, thanks in no small part to a fanbase of DVD buyers worldwide (many of which bought the DVDs on Amazon and similar sites) and a strong cult following online.
When Family Guy returned in 2005, there was relief and celebration among its fans. The first post-hiatus episode, "North by North Quahog", attracted an impressive 11.85 million viewers. Of course, you don't need me to tell you any of this as Family Guy is ridiculously popular already; after all, it has its own mobile game Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff – Essential Fan Service or Free To Play Lunacy?

It seems today that all you see are purchases in software, for in-app currency – but where are those "pay once, play forever" values on which we used to rely? Read More .
Unusually, the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) commissioned the second series of Ripper Street before the first had even aired; and then, midway through the second run of episodes, it was cancelled, citing low viewing figures (and conveniently overlooking the lack of promotion).
Fans of the show were, rather naturally, hugely disappointed, having invested in the lead trio of Edmund Reid, Bennet Drake, and Homer Jackson, three investigators in Victorian-era Whitechapel, London, where residents lived in fear following the unsolved Jack the Ripper murders.
The cast and writers were pretty annoyed too, and in the USA BBC America had a hit taken off its hands. But gauging enthusiasm online, and impressed by the production and those behind it, Amazon opted to throw its hat into the ring, pulling Ripper Street from cancellation hell for a third series.
Launching on Amazon Instant Video (which you can subscribe to separately or as one of Amazon Prime's benefits 10 Awesome Amazon Prime Benefits You've Probably Overlooked 10 Awesome Amazon Prime Benefits You've Probably Overlooked Free two-day shipping is just the beginning. Here are some notable Amazon Prime subscription benefits you may not know about. Read More ) in late 2014, its reception from viewers and critics alike was strong enough for a fourth and fifth series to be commissioned in May 2015.
To some, the single greatest thing Joss Whedon (writer and director of The Avengers: Age of Ultron) ever did, Firefly is a space western that starred Nathan Fillion for 14 episodes in 2002, but was cancelled after the 11th episode aired. A few months later, Firefly received the Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series gong at the Primetime Emmy Awards.
It soon became apparent that despite lower-than-expected ratings, Firefly had strong DVD sales, and its strong online support prompted Whedon and Universal Pictures to produce a sequel movie, Serenity. The movie revival won the 2006 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, and the universe continues in spinoff media.
Amazingly, the badly-animated sitcom about two socially inept rock fans watching videos and having (often violent) misadventures was not only commissioned in the first place, it was revived in 2011.
Perhaps I'm a little uncharitable about this pair, but as a cartoon that is considered to be "classic 1990s youth culture" at a time when I was growing up, Beavis and Butt-head seems simply inept. Sure, there's a certain charm in the back-to-basics approach, but the implication that this was me or any of my friends on screen, as young rock fans, was risible. All you need to know is right here in the broadcast disclaimer:
"Beavis and Butt-Head are not real. They are stupid cartoon people completely made up by this Texas guy whom we hardly even know. Beavis and Butt-Head are dumb, crude, thoughtless, ugly, sexist, self-destructive fools. But for some reason, the little wienerheads make us laugh."
Clearly, I was in the minority. Created by Mike Judge (later King of the Hill) it originally ran from March 8, 1993 to November 28, 1997, stopping off at the cinemas in 1996 for the animated feature Beavis and Butt-head Do America. While continued reruns and some Internet interest kept the duo alive, it seems that this particular revival was driven more by Judge than a desperate fandom.
Although the revived Beavis and Butt-head opened to an audience of 3.3 million viewers in October 2011, this soon dwindled to 900,000. The new series has since been screened around the world, however.
Another show that was cancelled twice, serial crime drama The Killing first appeared on AMC in 2011 and was based on Danish show Forbrydelsen. In 2012, after the second run on TV, the show's cancellation was announced, but AMC changed its mind following negotiations over a co-production with Fox and Netflix.
In September 2013, The Killing was bizarrely cancelled for the second time, but two months later Netflix announced that it had commissioned a further six episodes to conclude the series.
With similarities to David Lynch's Twin Peaks, and strong critical response (including 20 awards nominations and two wins), The Killing's lifespan has been every bit as enigmatic as its storyline.
Surely the ultimate story of continued interest and Internet support bringing back a TV show. Cancelled after 26 years by BBC One in 1989, Doctor Who was largely forgotten outside of niche groups online and off until 1995 when it was rumored that a new series was in the works, in a co-production with Fox and Universal.
This was confirmed not as a series, but a one-off TV movie starring Paul McGann, Daphne Ashbrook, and Eric Roberts, and while not a success in the USA (thanks to poor scheduling against the Roseanne season finale) the movie did well enough in the UK to maintain interest and kickstart the show's online fandom.
Fast forward to 2003, the show's fortieth anniversary. While a webcast revival starring Richard E Grant hoped to breathe new life into Doctor Who, it remained a shock when news leaked in September that the BBC had commissioned a new series, to be overseen by Russell T Davies.
When it aired in 2005, starring Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper, the show updated "classic series" elements like the TARDIS and Daleks and largely ignored everything else, resulting in a popular and critical success that continues to this day. New episodes are screened annually and some of the best Doctor Who episodes are available to watch on Netflix.

Favorite Show Cancelled? Never Give Up!
As a Doctor Who fan from childhood, I know what it's like to have your favorite TV show taken off air. You might take it personally, and be completely bewildered by the decision. You'll also be puzzled by many peoples' apparent lack of interest or empathy. Finally, you'll be convinced that you and other fans are in some way far more intelligent than anyone else.
Don't let the emotional rollercoaster get you down. It took Doctor Who so long to get back on air partly because there was no organized fandom for much of the 16-year period between the two series. Indeed, thanks to the Internet, there is no need for any show to be off air for that long ever again, thanks to Twitter campaigns, electronic petition websites, and Kickstarter, not to mention the current boom in fan-creator meetings at conventions.

may just be the funniest thing ever created: Will Arnett as an egomaniac magician, Liza Minnelli as a vertigo-suffering neighbour, and David Cross spending the majority of Season 3 pretending to be 'Mrs. Featherbottom'. And that barely scratches the surface of this dysfunctional family comedy that swaps a laughter track for a Ron Howard narration. This year the difficult fourth season (with each episode following a different character) was remixed into 20-minute instalments closer to the original format, while the entire cast was properly reunited for the new Season 5.
