I need to sell my house quickly as I have bought another one and can't afford to make two payments?
Unfortunately in this economy the only way to increase the chance to sell quickly is to list it below market price for your neighborhood. Anything that needs to be repaired should be done prior to showings. I'm sure you know how important staging is & remove all clutter. If baths or kitchen needs updating you will have to take that into consideration in your price.
Make sure your realtor markets your prop considerably & you can also put an open house notice on craigslist.

Giacomo della Porta (kolem 1532 Porlezza, Lombardie – 1602 tamtéž) byl italský architekt a sochař, který pracoval převážně v Římě.

Život
Byl žákem a spolupracovníkem Michelangela a Giacoma Barozziho da Vignola. Po roce 1563 realizoval Michelangelovy plány na přestavbu Kapitolu. Roku 1573 pokračoval po smrti Giacoma da Vignola s výstavbou kostela Il Gesù; fasádu vybudoval dle vlastních plánů. Roku 1573 se stal hlavním architektem svatopetrské baziliky, jejíž kupoli spolu s Fontanou dokončili v letech 1588–1590 a zvýšili oproti Michelangelovým návrhům ještě o čtyři metry.

With increased scrutiny from immigration adjudicators, visa applications are under the microscope. That means employers have to take special care to make sure everything is prepared well and on time, and manage immigration scrutiny flawlessly.
For example, you should make sure you're prepared for a Request for Evidence (RFE) issued to some employers by USCIS after your employee's case has been submitted, especially since the number of RFEs increased by 45 percent in 2017. And it's not just non-immigrant visas that are under increased scrutiny. In-person interviews are now necessary for work-sponsored green card applicants, an uncommon practice until 2017.
Employers should keep all immigration documentation handy and well-organized, file on time and track employees as they travel across borders. Technology allows these processes to happen seamlessly, reducing the risk of anything falling through the cracks.
Immigration management technology has helped saved documentation organization today by allowing companies to store immigration records in one, centralized location. Cloud-based storage allows HR to ping an employee when an immigration form needs to be filled out, and it allows you to directly communicate with your immigration attorney faster to get your questions answered. When your HR team, sponsored employee, and attorney are all working from the same real-time forms, you can reduce the risk of error. With the right technology, maintaining accuracy in employee records – and ensuring everything is where it needs to be – helps enable immigration data compliance. This includes keeping compliant digital public access files, which are becoming more commonplace and need secure and organized digital storage.
Secure online document storage and organization helps ensure all documents are up to date at the time of the employee's departure or arrival back into the country. Tracking global employees and their documentation can help avoid issues from occurring.

So if you want to keep your energy level always in good position during the month of Ramadan, all you have to do is to eat healthier and proper sehri. Here are 5 best sehri meals that you can have for your sehri in order to keep yourself well hydrated and energetic whole day long.
Oatmeal and banana are the two things that are enriched with lots of essential elements needed to keep body healthy and fresh. When both are blended together along with milk they form a perfect smoothie that is enough to keep the body hydrated and a stomach full for the whole day long.
If you are really diet conscious and want to lose your excess weight along with fasting or if you want to eat something very light but healthy at sehri time, Red beans salad is what you are looking for. It is very low in calories and packed with fibers and proteins.
This can be a best meal at sehri time for fruit and sweet lovers. Fresh fruit salad is something that can not only make you fresh at sehri time but also keeps your body hydrated and full of energy for the whole day long. Fruits are easy to digest and can fill your tummy easily. You can make your fresh fruit salad by mixing two or three types of fruits with sugar syrup.

This meal is a love of everyone at sehri time and why not? It is not only delicious but also helps a body to maintain its energy level for a whole day, so you must have it at sehri time to make your fast better than before.


TEMPE, Ariz. - Washington pitcher Jorden Merry suffered his first loss of the season as No. 3 Arizona State jumped out to a big early lead and cruised to a 13-3 victory in the first game of a three-game, Pac-10 series Friday night at Packard Stadium.
Merry, a junior from Pasco, fell to 8-1 on the season with easily his roughest outing of the year. He pitched just two and two-thirds innings, allowing nine runs on 10 hits as Washington fell to 31-18 on the season and 10-9 in Pac-10 play. The UW fell into a fourth place in the conference, a half game back of idle California.
Arizona State remained atop the Pac-10 standings with the win, improving to 42-9 overall and 13-6 in the conference.
Devils starter Mike Leake (9-1) picked up the win, limiting the Huskies to a run on five hits over his eight innings of work. ASU got four hits and four RBI from first baseman Kiel Roling, and catcher Petey Paramore drove in four and added three hits.
ASU jumped out to a quick lead with four runs in the bottom of the first. With two aboard, Paramore blooped two-out RBI single over the bag at third base to drive in one. After a walk loaded the bases, Roling hit a fly ball to that Husky right fielder Andy Lentz lost in the lights, allowing it to drop for a three-run double.
The Devil kept at it in the second. After a pair of singles, Jason Kipnis belted his second double in as many innings to drive in one run. Brett Wallace followed with a sacrifice fly to plate another, giving Arizona State a 6-0 win.
In the third, Arizona State tacked on three more. Roling singled to notch his fourth RBI and Ryan Sontag's two-out single plated two more, making it 9-0. ASU scored a single run in the fourth to take a 10-0 lead.
Washington scratched its first run in the seventh. Troy Scott missed a home run by a foot and settled for a long double. After a groundout, Brett Wilcox singled to drive in Scott.
However, after the UW run, ASU replied in the bottom of the seventh as Paramore drilled a three-run homer to make it a 13-1 score.
In the ninth, the UW added two more runs on a two-out single from Michael Burgher. Lentz had three hits and a walk to lead the Husky hitters.
The Huskies and Sun Devils continue the three-game set with a 6:00 p.m. game Saturday and a 1:00 p.m. game Sunday. Fans can catch a live broadcast of both games on the Dawg Channel at gohuskies.com.

Clinton Rocks gets residents exploring
Originally published October 2017
Many Clintonians are taking strolls through the Brick Streets, visiting Lions Club Park, walking the trails behind the Quisenberry Library and visiting the Clinton Community Nature Center for the purpose of stumbling on a rock. But they aren't looking for an injury, nor do they want to stumble on just any rock—they are in search of a hand-painted, one-of-a kind Clinton Rock!
Clinton Rocks is a branch of a nationwide game of hide and seek—with rocks. The idea is simple: paint a rock and hide it. If you find one of these special rocks, you either keep it or re-hide it for someone else to discover. Since little supplies is required and it's easy to participate, the rock hunting hobby has inspired thousands to get out and explore their cities. From the post office to the Visitor Center, these creative treasures are being found all around town.
Beth Shores of Paxton Peak says she loves watching families and students hunting for rocks in Olde Towne: "It happens literally all day, every day, and there is nothing but smiles on everyone's faces the entire time."
"It's fun to be with my family and paint rocks," says seven-year-old Brylee-Klaire Jolly. "And it's fun to hide them in my town and hunt rocks everywhere!"
"My family enjoys painting and hiding rocks. It gets us out of the house and off our electronics. It's a fun activity the whole family can enjoy," says Heather Eagar.
Many of the rocks hidden around town are inscribed with "Clinton Rocks," referring to the Facebook page where participants can connect with the local rock-hunting community. With over 1,000 members, the Clinton "Rocks!" Facebook page has become a place where people share pictures of the rocks they've painted or found, as well as hints to where they are hidden. The purpose of Clinton "Rocks!" is to "spread joy and brighten someone's day," the Facebook page says. "This is a community-building group meant to inspire creativity in all ages and energize people to explore the beautiful area in which we live."
"I'm so proud of the positive influence that these tiny painted treasures have brought to our city," says Clinton "Rocks!" member Kari Elizabeth. "Seeing children's smiles of joy, the thrill of taking a walk and glancing down to find a brightly-colored rock, seeing creativity blossom—it's so uplifting!"
Brandee Harper is an administrator of the Clinton "Rocks!" Facebook page. She says the group has grown a lot since she joined a little over a year ago. "I get at least 10 requests a day to join," she says. She adds that hiding and finding rocks was something her family did in Texas, and her three boys love the hunt.
"Anytime we are out, they are hoping to find a rock," she says.
The game has brought out the artistic side of many residents. Some rocks are decorated with butterfly or ladybug designs, while others take the likeness of bicycles, frogs, or pumpkins. There are even Clinton-themed rocks boasting Arrow pride.
"It's great because anyone can do it," says Harper. "There's no wrong way."
Many Clintonians have held their own rock painting parties. On Sept. 9, the Clinton Community Nature Center hosted a "Rock Painting Party" with over 100 people in attendance. For 50 cents each, kids and adults spent hours painting rocks and sharing in their new hobby.
"We provided the rocks and the paint supplies," says Carrie Chennault, who does marketing for the Nature Center. "People love to hide them at the Nature Center, and it's great seeing kids and adults come out and look for them."
Guest artist Bob Buseck also came to talk about painting rocks and demo some ideas. He says he's painted over 30 rocks that are scattered throughout Clinton, many of which people choose to keep for themselves because of how ornate they are. Not only does he paint intricate designs on the rocks, he also carves them into unique shapes.
Buseck says, "It's a fun way to get people outside and exploring Clinton, while also giving back to the arts."
He says he discovered the trend while living in Natchez and continued the hobby when he moved to Clinton. A military vet, Buseck uses the detailed painting as a way to help cope with his PTSD. Some of his favorite designs include Winnie the Poo, The Walking Dead, and a collection of Clinton-themed rocks that he modeled after a Hometown Clinton magazine cover.
"Painting rocks helps me with my depression, and I enjoy hiding them for others to find," says Savannah Shepherd. "It is also a great way for adults and kids of all ages to express themselves, and it gets kids outside instead of sitting indoors. It is a great way to meet people and make new friends."
"I'm a grandmother, but since I started painting rocks, I feel like a kid again," says Susan Robinson. "It's an activity I can share with my grandchildren, as well as with the children of Clinton. To see their excited, sweet faces on the Clinton "Rocks!" Facebook page makes my heart happy."

First week as a Nashvillian down! It's been a fun ride so far and I'm realizing there is way more to do in this city than I thought! Not gonna lie though; it's been hard waiting for things to fall into place. But I know it's all gonna work out, and I'm certainly going to be having fun in the meantime 😎
Today was my last day as a bookseller @lemuriabooks 😭 For those of you who don't know, I am moving to Nashville this weekend! I'm super excited, but I am going to miss my Lemuria family something awful. These past 3.5 years have been amazing. From crazy coworkers to even crazier customers, I'm so glad I've gotten to be a part of the best indie bookstore in the world (it really is). I've met so many incredible authors, read some great books, taken a lot of #bookfacefriday pics, and made some awesome memories with my Lemuria crew. Long live the indie bookstore! 📚#Lemurian4Life #welties #queenofthefictionroom #indiebookstore

In New York, a local metro fair has a base price of $2.50. By charging up their metro cards, New Yorkers can also get a nice perk: a 5% cash bonus added on to their total charge. But, as Wellington points out, that bonus is not really a bonus at all if you're never able to actually use it.
How would it do that? Well, assume you purchase a $9.00 MTA card which, with the bonus, is now worth $9.45. After 3 trips, you're left with a ticket worth $1.95. At this point, you either need to charge your ticket to take another trip or lose that remainder.
Imagine how many tourists come to NYC and leave with balances that never get used. Imagine how many people lose metro cards with those balances that never get used. And even if it gets used on a later refill, the MTA gets to collect the cash earlier this way! Win win for them, right?
And the sum of all that unredeemed cash, he says, comes to about $50 million each year.
So how do you avoid your own subway change falling into that statistic? Simple. You pick a ticket that, with the remainder, will leave no remainder, as Wellington has sketched out on the chart below. A ticket worth $11.90 or $19.05 can save you not only money, but time.


How do I pass values to the constructor on my wcf service?
I would like to pass values into the constructor on the class that implements my service.
However ServiceHost only lets me pass in the name of the type to create, not what arguments to pass to its contrstructor.
I would like to be able to pass in a factory that creates my service object.
WCF Dependency Injection Behavior which is more than what I am looking for and seems to be over-complex for my needs.
You'll need to implement a combination of custom ServiceHostFactory, ServiceHost and IInstanceProvider.
Register MyServiceHostFactory in your MyService.svc file, or use MyServiceHost directly in code for self-hosting scenarios.
You can easily generalize this approach, and in fact some DI Containers have already done this for you (cue: Windsor's WCF Facility).
You can simply create and instance of your Service and pass that instance to the ServiceHost object. The only thing you have to do is to add a [ServiceBehaviour] attribute for your service and mark all returned objects with [DataContract] attribute.
I hope this will make life easier for someone.
Mark's answer with the IInstanceProvider is correct.
The third option: you can also apply a service behavior using the configuration file.
I worked from Mark's answer, but (for my scenario at least), it was needlessly complex. One of the ServiceHost constructors accepts an instance of the service, which you can pass in directly from the ServiceHostFactory implementation.
Screw it… I blended the dependency injection and service locator patterns (but mostly it's still dependency injection and it even takes place in the constructor which means you can have read-only state).
// set this before creating service host. this can use your IOC container or whatever.
// whatever your service needs here.
The dependencies of the service are clearly specified in the contract of it's nested Dependencies class. If you are using an IoC container (one that doesn't already fix the WCF mess for you), you can configure it to create the Dependencies instance instead of the service. This way you get the warm fuzzy feeling that your container gives you while also not having to jump through too many hoops imposed by WCF.
I'm not going to lose any sleep over this approach. Neither should anyone else. After all, you're IoC container is a big, fat, static collection of delegates that creates stuff for you. What's adding one more?
We were facing this same problem and have solved it in the following manner. It is a simple solution.
The MyService base class is the actual implementation of the service. This base class should not have a parameterless constructor, but only constructors with parameters that accept the dependencies.
The service should use this class instead of the original MyService.
This was a very helpful solution - especially for someone who is a novice WCF coder. I did want to post a little tip for any users who might be using this for an IIS-hosted service. MyServiceHost needs to inherit WebServiceHost, not just ServiceHost.
This will create all the necessary bindings, etc for your endpoints in IIS.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged wcf dependency-injection factory-pattern or ask your own question.

N.J. Cable Subs To Get a Refund
Trenton, N.J.— The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities has ordered Comcast Corp. to pay $5.4 million to allegedly overcharged subscribers.
The refunds are the result of a settlement of 36 contested rate cases dating back to 1994. The BPU alleges that the company overcharged consumers in Atlantic, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hunterdon and Salem counties.
Comcast was ordered to reimburse 230,000 customers. The refunds will average $5.64 per customer, totaling $1.3 million from the company.
The board also ordered a freeze on basic cable and installation rates through Jan. 31 of 2002. Commissioners said that freeze will save Comcast customers another $4.1 million.

Dead boy's body
'How can a boy threaten soldiers?'
Uncle of 11-year-old Palestinian said to be killed by Border Guard police officer slams security forces; posters of Ahmed Musa posted across Palestinian village; dead child turns into symbol of resistance to West Bank fence
Ali Waked|Published: 07.30.08 , 12:39
A general strike has been called at the Palestinian village of Naalin Wednesday to protest the killing of 11-year-old boy Ahmed Mussa. IDF troops blocked the main entrance to the village, while businesses in Naalin closed their doors ahead of the funeral, scheduled for Wednesday. Meanwhile, weeping local residents gathered around the Mussa home and slammed the IDF and Israel's security forces.
The women standing near the home kept repeating "they have no God," while wiping away their tears. Mussa's uncle, Hosni Yusuf Mussa, told Ynet that he fails to understand why a Border Guard police officer would shoot at a child.
IDF probes Palestinian boy's death
Ali Waked
Initial Palestinian reports of 11-year old allegedly shot by soldiers during anti-fence rally in Naalin currently under investigation by IDF, Police Internal Affairs. Army confirms forces fired towards rioting protestors
"He was a young boy playing with his friends. How could he threaten the soldiers?" he said. "They're just kids who saw a march against the fence and joined in. To come back dead and without a head shows the cruelty of the soldiers."
'A grand lie'
Mussa said he believed the killing was a message to protestors in a bid to end the ongoing demonstrations against the West Bank security fence. He added that he does not believe in filing a lawsuit against Israel.
"A lawsuit won't make a difference and a trial won't make a difference," he said. "At most, the soldiers will put on a show…the judges release (the soldiers) immediately…what they're doing is one grand lie, a show for the media."
Meanwhile, posters of the dead child have been posted across the village, and slogans pertaining to his death have been scribbled on walls – an honor normally reserved for wanted Palestinians killed by the IDF. Despite his young age, the slogans say Mussa is a symbol of resistance to the security fence and vow to "continue his path."
Mussa's 10-year-old friends said they were trying to remove barbed wire placed by the army when a jeep arrived and forces started to fire.
"Suddenly, we saw the martyr falling and one bullet in his head," said Mussa's friend Ahmed Saadat. He admitted that the children then started hurling stones at the forces, with one of them hitting a police officer in the head.

Q: MySQL UPDATE with GROUP_CONCAT joining three tables The goal: update T1 with GROUP_CONCAT info from T3 with JOIN across T2.
Here's a simplified version of the table structures:
T1: xfer_lectures
Relevant fields: lecture_id, topics
(I'm trying to fill the topics field with a concatenated list of topics designated for that lecture.)
T2: calendar_lecture_topics
Relevant fields: event_id, topic_id
(T1.lecture_id = T2.event_id)
T3: lecture_topics
Relevant fields: id, title
(T2.topic_id = T3.event_id)
I can successfully SELECT the info I want with the following query:
SELECT
    T1.`lecture_id`, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT `title` SEPARATOR '; '), COUNT(*)
FROM
    `xfer_lectures` T1
    INNER JOIN
        `calendar_lecture_topics` T2
    INNER JOIN
        `lecture_topics` T3
    ON T1.`lecture_id` = T2.`event_id`
    AND T2.`topic_id` = T3.`id`
    GROUP BY T1.`lecture_id`

However, when I try to UPDATE T1 with the concatenated info, I fail. I've tried a bunch of versions of the update query, most of which yield errors. This one runs as a valid query but fills every topic field with the same list of ALL the topics in the topics table:
 UPDATE
    `xfer_lectures` T1
 JOIN `calendar_lecture_topics` T2
    ON T1.`lecture_id`=T2.`event_id`
 JOIN `lecture_topics` T3
    ON T2.`topic_id` = T3.`id`
 SET T1.`topics` = (
    SELECT
    GROUP_CONCAT(`title` SEPARATOR '; ')
    FROM `lecture_topics`
    )

I also tried versions where the SELECT statement includes a GROUP_BY clause, but I still ended up with the same list of topics for every record as opposed to the two or three relevant topics per lecture. For example:
SET T1.`topics` = (
SELECT
GROUP_CONCAT(`title` SEPARATOR '; ')
FROM `lecture_topics`
WHERE T2.`topic_id` = T3.`id`
AND T1.`lecture_id`=T2.`event_id`
GROUP BY T2.`event_id`)

Where am I going wrong? I'm not terribly experienced with complex queried so my understanding of both JOINs and grouping is probably flawed. Any assistance will be much appreciated!

A: *

*SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(title SEPARATOR '; ') FROM lecture_topics) will basically return ALL the titles from the lecture_topics table in a string. That is why your SET query is updating all the lectures with same string (containing all the titles)

*You need to basically use a Derived Table here. In this derived table, you get titles based on the grouping of event_id (lecture_id).

*Now, join this table with xfer_lectures on event_id = lecture_id, and use the Group_concat() result from the derived table to update the values in xfer_lectures table.

Grassley to Trump: No, you can't use the Vacancies Act to make Cuccinelli DHS Secretary
Ed MorrisseyPosted at 8:01 pm on October 30, 2019
Give the White House full marks for cleverness, but perhaps a demerit or two for trying this hard to work around a nominally friendly Senate. With Kevin McAleenan departing as acting Homeland Security Secretary tomorrow, Donald Trump wants to install a hardliner in his place, even if it's just temporary. Rather than appoint someone to fill the slot left open since Kirstjen Nielsen's departure in April, the Trump administration has looked into ways of installing someone as acting Secretary without all that pesky confirmation business:
After Kevin K. McAleenan, the acting secretary who had a tumultuous relationship with the White House, announced this month that he would resign, it was widely believed in the administration that Mr. Trump would tap someone who would not question his more extreme policies. Mr. McAleenan has said he will step down on Thursday.
But officials leading agencies in homeland security who echo Mr. Trump's fiery language on immigration were initially deemed ineligible under the federal Vacancies Act. The law states that acting officials who take over cabinet-level positions must be next in the line of succession, have the approval of the Senate or have served 90 days under the previous secretary.
The White House, however, is exploring a loophole in the law, according to an administration official. Under this route, the White House would tap someone to be the assistant secretary of the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office, which is vacant, and then elevate that person to be the acting secretary of homeland security.
The chief of that office is known as an "inferior officer," and under an exception in the laws governing appointments, such officials can be appointed to acting positions with the sole approval of the president, the official said.
If this seems like an odd way to pass the time at the White House, you're not alone. Trump has a Republican Senate that can confirm any nominee on a simple majority vote, thanks to Harry Reid's rule changes in 2013. All Trump has to do is nominate a credible candidate for the position and his GOP allies can carry the ball across the line in a few weeks. For those who are offering criticism of Trump over Ukraine, such a vote would demonstrate their overall loyalty to the GOP's immigration goals.
So why has Trump stalled on an appointment? It's because he's worried that his prime candidate would never get even 50 Senate votes. Trump has made clear his preference for former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who has advocated for hardline policies in border security and fits fully within MAGA Country. Unfortunately for both Cuccinelli and Trump, the prospective candidate burned his bridges with Senate Republicans by championing primary challenges to caucus leaders, and that makes Cuccinelli persona non grata:
President Donald Trump wants Cuccinelli, who most recently led the anti-establishment Senate Conservatives Fund, to be director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. But there may be nobody in Washington whom McConnell and his allies would take more pleasure in defeating, and the bottom line is Cuccinelli has little chance of getting approved for the job, Republican senators said.
"He's spent a fair amount of his career attacking Republicans in the Senate, so it strikes me as an odd position for him to put himself in to seek Senate confirmation," said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who ran the GOP's campaign arm for two election cycles. "It's unlikely he's going to be confirmed if he is nominated."
Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, the Senate GOP's chief vote-counter, called the bid "a long shot," adding, "They'll go forward with it or they won't, but I will suspect he'll have plenty of obstacles once he gets here."
Cuccinelli got an appointment to a non-confirmation post at DHS, but that doesn't yet put him in position for consideration as an acting Secretary. This Rube Goldberg-esque workaround using the Federal Vacancies Reform Act is their best path to getting several months of Cuccinelli without Senate approval.
Chuck Grassley threw a flag on that formation today:
President Trump is seeking an end-around to appoint the immigration hardliner to the position, and Cuccinelli is loathed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and other Republicans to the point that he probably could not be confirmed. And Grassley, the most senior Republican, said there is no legal way to put the acting U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services chief in the position as acting chief after acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan leaves his post on Thursday.
"There's some opposition to Senate confirmation. I have not heard anything about some go-around. But it's my understanding that the existing law would not permit him to" lead the organization, Grassley said in an interview. "I don't know how you get around that. I don't think it's possible because of what the law says, not because of anything else."
House Homeland Security chair Bennie Thompson demanded that the White House make its desires known in the usual manner — by appointment. If they can't find someone to appoint after six months of searching and a friendly Senate ready to confirm, Thompson added, that speaks to the White House's competence:
"If the White House cannot find anyone qualified and suitable to run the Department of Homeland Security – or even run it in an acting capacity – something is very wrong with this Administration," Thompson said on Wednesday morning.
Clearly, Cuccinelli is not happening no matter how much Trump desires him for the job. Rather than look for byzantine workarounds, it would be better to just get the position filled while Senate Republicans are motivated to expedite the confirmation.

An Orchestrated Album Made Effortless (Valerie June, The Order of Time review)
Posted on March 27, 2017 by Tim Kuefler
We need to find more light. Because the light shines brightest when we focus on it over the dark.
That's the challenge musicians, singers, and songwriters face every day. How do you serve a greater purpose and cut through the darkness of monotony? I think this week's album review might have an answer.
Valerie June – The Order of Time
********* 9/10
Valerie June is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. She has a unique sound, which I realize is something of a cliche to say, but it's true. June holds dear a mixture of blues, soul, and mountain music. But not just mountain music, there is a mixture of gospel, country, bluegrass and folk in there too.
This is the fourth outing for June and much like her third album, Pushin' Against a Stone, June continues to explore the notion of quality music over innovation.
June works over each song slowly, building in nuance and an essential quality of care for her own vocals. It's heavy in places, and airy in others, but never feels unnecessary or problematic. Starting off with soft opener Long Lonely Road, a saccharine exploration into salvation, June continues onward and upward, considering the very key elements of time, love, and music as we wander through her album. It an autobiographical track that is immediately intimate, but not a tell-all by any means.
Following this is probably one of my favourites of the album, Love You Once Made. Filled with organ sounds and shifting effortlessly between indifference and indignation, it describes the true feelings of a love lost. Luckily for us, this is only the beginning of the organ use – Shakedown is the opposite of what precedes it, upbeat and effervescent, it could have a place in any popular blues act of the day (read: The Black Keys). Next up is If And, another of my much liked tracks. In this one, June sways to the beat and rhythm while crooning away about the dangers of an unloved woman.
The whole album plays out this way, full of wisdom, and vocal intensity, June is doing what so many other acts out there seem to refuse right now, and that is to provide substance. Wonderment on Astral Plane, simmering heat on Man Done Wrong, and the consideration of intimacy on Front Door. These are just some of the themes explored throughout The Order of Time, but this album is most definitely something that will either grow on you or put you off, I can write that with confidence.
But what I'm most excited about in listening to this album is that Valerie June is black woman drawing from a wealth of musical history and managing to make something far cooler than anything I've heard in a quite some time, and she does it without concerning herself over political issues – the music delivers it best.
Valerie June continues to make music which separates itself from the mainstream while operating within it. This is a rare feat for any artist and worthy of our attention. But as I mentioned previously, it might not be for everyone, and that's okay. I like that notion that light is cutting through the dark in due time.

Obsessive Planning (Miss Sloane review)


Kyrie Irving is having himself an incredible season in Boston, but no matter how well the Celtics play, and no matter how much fun it is to watch Kyrie dribble, it's hard not to look at him and see more than a point guard. No, he's not just a basketball player, he's also the face of a movement. A movement that is based on one incredibly simple and understandable notion: NASA, the U.S. government, and generations of scientists have been participating in a centuries long conspiracy to hide the fact that the Earth is not a sphere but is, in fact, flat.
And sure there have been times when Kyrie has tried to make it seem as though he doesn't actually believe that, and rather, is making some sort of grand point about the media, but I'm a Cavs fan. Before this season, it was my duty to defend Kyrie on this issue, and we all know he believes it. And now, finally, we might soon have something that will convince Kyrie that the Earth isn't flat. A California man, who will almost certainly be made into a quirky indie film starring Jake Johnson or Mark Duplass, has decided to launch himself into the sky in a homemade rocket to prove the Earth is flat.
That's right. This is only a small step on the limo driver-turned-aviator's journey to prove the Earth isn't a sphere. In the future he plans to launch himself into actual space to further prove that we live on a giant disc. And if you think this guy sounds loopy, read this quote from an AP story on Hughes and tell me it doesn't sound a lot like a certain Boston point guard.
Is that really so different than this?
"When I started actually doing research on my own and figuring out that there is no real picture of Earth, not one real picture of Earth — and we haven't been back to the moon since 1961 or 1969 — it becomes like conspiracy, too."
I'm not sure whether Kyrie Irving is the Mark Hughes of basketball or whether Mark Hughes is the Kyrie Irving of limo drivers, but either way, these two are peas in a pod.


This scene captured my eye last Saturday when I got back from my morning fitness walk. It reminded me so much of the swamp scenes in the Lord of the Rings movies. Can you hear the haunting elvish melodies coming across your mind? I sure can.
On a totally different note, the crew on Mark Lipinski's Pickle Road Posse on Yahoo were discussing Santa Claus and some of the ways people are trying to reinvent him. I was looking up Santa and what is going down in the PC world and found a Fashion School that redid Santa's look. Here are three samples of the students work.
these and buy a bunch of Just For Men Hair Color….to fit the "new" look…..
I have been working out and trying to lose weight, and I have lost some and toned up some, but those FastBreak candy bars get me everytime…..they are not part of a healthy diet!!!

Nigeria's optimism pushes it deeper into debt
By Eromo Egbejule

As Nigeria's debt profile increases, concerns are rising that the central bank is lending more to the government than the country can afford.
In January this year, the bank's own monetary policy committee warned that Nigeria's debt burden was fast approaching the pre-2005 Paris Club level.
The 2005 Paris Club debt relief remains a milestone: former president Olusegun Obasanjo and then finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala argued that Nigeria had been unfairly categorised by the World Bank as not eligible for debt relief. They convinced the creditors to write off $18bn of debt, reducing Nigeria's $30bn debt stock by more than half.
At the time there were high hopes that Nigeria would avoid such levels of debt in the future. The debt relief was designed to free up the Obasanjo administration to pursue economic reforms and the fight against corruption, avoiding such levels of debt in the future.
Fast-forward 14 years…
Figures from the Debt management Office (DMO) show that on 31 December 2018 Nigeria's debt profile was N24.387tn ($67.65bn) up by 12.25% from 2017's N21.725tn. This went into financing the budget deficit, funding physical infrastructure and more.
According to BusinessDay, CBN lending to the federal government reached N8.1trn over the past four years. In 2017, the CBN's overdraft to the federal government was N3.1trn. That figure almost doubled in 2018 to a whopping N5.42trn.
Where is all the money going?
The consistent borrowing is due to Nigeria's ambitious budget over the past couple of years. The petrol-dependent economy's 2019 budget is benchmarked on the oil price being $60 per barrel and a daily oil production capacity of 2.3 million barrels per day (bpd). Production did not exceed 1.9 million bpd in the preceding year.
At the time of the Paris Club debt relief Nigeria had $34bn in oil revenue reserves, which enabled it to put money on the table to get the deal signed. In March 2019 the Excess Crude Account stood at only $183m.
The federal government's appetite for taking on more debt has led commercial banks to cut loaning to the private sector, preferring to instead take up the high-yielding and more stable government securities.
In May 2019, a Bloomberg report analysing data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) showed that "net domestic credit to the government surged 64% in the first four months of this year on an annualised basis, versus 9.6% for the private sector".
Busy bureaucrats
In all of this, Nigeria's central bank has been multitasking with a raft of programmes to try to stimulate the economy:
The Anchor Borrowers' Programme is one of its flagship schemes – and its most popular. In November 2018, it claimed to have created 500,000 jobs as well adding 2m tonnes of rice to the nationwide supply.
In June 2019, the bank announced it will start policing the smuggling of products on its list of restricted items into the country. CBN governor Godwin Emefiele told those present at a Lagos forum that the bank would "use the instrumentality of being the regulator for the banking system" to track down all those involved in what it calls "economic sabotage".
Under its Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL), the CBN has been disbursing loans cumulatively worth about N75bn in conjunction with the federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Other examples include The Nigeria Electricity Market Stabilisation Facility (NEMSF), the Non-oil Export Stimulation Facility (ESF) and Entrepreneurship Development Centres (EDCs).
Beyond that, it has also been heavily financing Nigeria's federal budget deficits, plugging the gaps left open by an ambitious spending plan from the presidency.
The implication?
The CBN will keep printing currency to keep the Buhari administration afloat. In September 2017 respected economist Doyin Salami, a member of the CBN's aforementioned MPR committee, described the apex bank as acting like a "piggy bank" for the government.
Bottom line: An overstretched Central Bank is uncharted terrain for the current administration.

Formal dining rooms, kitchen dinettes, breakfast nooks. Your dining needs and the space allocated to them are vastly different from that of your friends and neighbors. Whether you have a beginner apartment, a spacious mansion – or, like most of us, something between – your dining table and chair set is critical to setting the tone and functionality of your home. People are always searching for the best. Well the situation with that phrase is normally the very best is just a matter of opinion. So with however, Lets find out what would be the best beer pong table in your opinion. We must learn the differences in these tables to raised fit your needs. As dining tables are the middle of attention in your dining room, you want to take special care when selecting yours. It's possible to help the space to appear larger, while another can quickly overtake the entire room and make one feel claustrophobic. Although it ought to be the center of attention, the sensation it conveys should really be certainly one of comfort and style.
For most of us growing up, our family dining table was the middle of your family and was useful for not merely dining, but homework, game night, as a buffet table, or working on crafts. Nowadays it is common to possess multiple tables for these activities, but, if your space is restricted, the dining table may serve even more purposes. If that is your first-time searching for a dining table and chair set, consider how it is likely to be used when selecting the most appropriate set for the house. Most standard size tables are 8 ft. long and 2 ft. wide. So, the space needed for that size table ought to be at the very least 12 ft x 8 ft. In this manner everybody is comfortable playing the game. If you have an inferior room for playing you will get a 6 ft. or 7 ft. table. Now you have to store or transport your table. Some tables fold down in four sections that'll make the table 2 ft. x 2 ft. when folded up but other tables just fold in half. You'll need to find out what size more easily accommodates your playing and storage needs. Many people often feel only a little overwhelmed when buying dining tables. The truth is that there are so many options and so many what to consider. The form of the table will also convey a specific feeling in the room. Generally, rectangular and oval shaped tables will provide a far more formal style, while a circular or square shaped table will convey a far more informal feeling.
Space is not just the ultimate frontier, it's the #1 consideration in planning for a dining table and chair set. The normal principle is that dining tables are roughly 30 inches tall, and chair seats must be roughly 20 inches from the floor to allow enough lap space. A seat width of approximately 22 inches is really a comfortable size for most people. Designers like to permit at least 40 inches around your table and chairs to move around other furniture, but perhaps your dining table and chair set will sit snugly in your space. An ideal solution to this will be a table with extensions or drop leafs, which are good for accommodating large and small gatherings. Remember that smaller tables look great when placed against a wall with a wonderful framed piece of art on the wall above. Let's speak about the playing surface and extras that you wish to be included in the table. Personally, i like to truly have a nonslip rack area so when the playing surface starts to have wet the cups won't start to slide around during game play. Also, some tables feature a ball holder mounted underneath the top of the table which means you won't need certainly to bother about losing your balls. Some beer pong tables even come with a bottle opener mounted quietly of the table. I've even seen them include lights in the playing surface but this style beer pong table can be a little expensive. The final on the table is also important, especially when you're purchasing it separately. Sets, obviously, comes into play matched finishes. Choosing a table alone, however, will allow you to produce a more unconventional look and show your true style. Just be cautious to not mismatch an excessive amount of or it will leave everyone in the room with a feeling to be surrounded by chaos.
Naturally, the composition of your living area and its furnishings will dictate how elaborate your dining table and chair set can be. Do you want arts & crafts or mission decor? Country, rustic or traditional? Maybe your room has a mixture of motifs and you'll need a simpler style for an easy visual transition. You will find quite few big name brands which can be available on the market today. I will suggest you stay with a high end manufacturer. Several of those name brands include Bpong, Pong360, Bjs, Propong, and Redcup. You could spend a little more on one of these simple tables but at least you understand you are getting a professionally made pong table. These beer pong tables are designed with a high strength lightweight aluminum frame. This feature makes these tables light and durable. Also the frame won't begin to rust over time. Buying a high end table insures that you select a business that stands behind their product. For folks who realize that their living area table just appears to blend in with the remaining furniture, discover ways to dress it up. Centerpieces of candles and flowers can certainly grab the attention of anyone who enters the room. Place settings of varying colors can be successful, along with a small number of mementos, like seashells, can allow you to create the look you are getting for.
Counter-height living area table sets are learning to be a highly popular choice. Whether you decide on a conventional, classic dining set or bistro-style dining area table, counter-height table sets seem to have an inherent ability to place guests at ease. So I hope this little article I wrote will help you make an informed decision on a table. Remember to figure out what table will suit your needs in the most effective way. This way you may have the most effective beer pong table that's perfect you. Don't let yourself get confused when buying dining tables. First, make an effort to find out the design you wish to create and gauge the room. When the table is initiated in the dining room, you can then create a number of looks with tablecloths, place mats, and other accessories.

The Trump Administration Just Halted An Offshore Oil Drilling Inspection Study
It's the Interior Department's second such stop in the fossil fuel arena, following the halt of a mountaintop mining safety study in August.
by Dan Vergano
Updated on December 22, 2017, 2:31 pmPosted on December 21, 2017, 4:52 pm
The Deepwater Horizon oil platform disaster in 2010.
The Trump administration halted an independent offshore oil drilling review, the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine reported on Thursday. The study was aimed at improving inspections of industry platforms, like the one responsible for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster.
Ordered to halt on Dec. 7, the $582,000 review was meant to recommend improvements to the Department of Interior's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. Its first meetings were held in October.
"Future meetings planned to be held in the Gulf of Mexico region have been put on hold," said the science academy in a statement, adding it was "disappointed" that the study has been stopped.
"The NAS study was paused by BSEE to allow time to ensure that there are no duplicate efforts," with ongoing agency risk studies, BSEE press secretary Greg Julian told BuzzFeed News in an emailed statement.
The move follows the halt in August by the Interior Department of a science academy review of pollution deaths caused by mountaintop mining. NASEM has not received an update on that review since the halt was ordered. An agency representative told BuzzFeed News the review was "ongoing" earlier this month, and offered no more comment.
"I'm still trying to get more information about this latest study, but I fear this is just another example of President Trump's war on science and expertise," Rep. Raúl Grijalva of Arizona, the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, told BuzzFeed News in a statement on the halt.
"The Trump administration has a pattern of silencing respected experts to make sure they can get their way, then clamming up themselves when you ask them why."
BSEE was first reorganized after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, which killed 11 workers and caused the largest environmental disaster in US history.
Halts to US science academy studies are rare. Review of the BSEE study will end within 90 days, the academy said, either allowing the effort to resume or terminating its contract.
The science academy said that it still hoped to restart the mountaintop mining safety study, and that private donors had come forward who may allow that effort, which is already half completed, to continue.
"Given how important this study is to the citizens and communities surrounding these surface mining sites in Appalachia, the National Academies believe the study should be completed and are exploring options to do so," the academy said in a statement.

Waterworks, the new concert show from Kristjan Järvi and the Baltic Sea Philharmonic, begins a tour of Germany and Denmark tomorrow (5 May 2017). The programme combines arrangements of Handel's Water Music with Philip Glass's Violin Concerto No. 2 The American Four Seasons (with violinist Mikhail Simonyan) and Glass's Aguas da Amazonia (arranged by Charles Coleman), all three taking the theme of water. The Baltic Sea Philharmonic will collaborate with lighting designer Bertil Mark, sound designer Chris Ekers and projection artist Philipp Geist to provide concert goers with an immersive experience of music, light, images and sound. Kristjan Järvi says: 'We want to create an atmosphere from the moment a concert goer enters the space. The audience should feel as if they are suddenly entering a new dimension, a world where anything is possible.'.
The performances in Copenhagen and Aarhus will include a series of school concerts as part of Danish Radio's 'Into the Music' project, which brings children from rural Denmark to major concert halls to experience symphonic music, often for the first time. The orchestra has been part of this ground-breaking scheme since 2015, and this year will play the music of Handel and Philip Glass to more than 7,000 pupils and refugees from refugee camps in Denmark.
I will be catching the programme later this year, in August, when the orchestra performs it at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. You can read my interview with Kristjan Järvi on this blog.

Shuster "Encouraged" By Obama's Transportation Funding Announcement
Bill Shuster is still digesting yesterday's twin funding proposals from President Obama and Ways and Means Chair Dave Camp, but he's "encouraged" by what he's heard. Both proposals rely on corporate tax reform to plug the hole in the highway trust fund. Camp's proposal would raise about $125 billion; Obama's, $150 billion. Neither has yet released details on how their plans would work.
T&I Chair Bill Shuster wants to "build on" the reforms in MAP-21. Photo: ##http://www.heraldstandard.com/election/shuster-supports-romney-in-gop-primary/article_ba7064fe-de09-5e42-b291-e95983b33a45.html##Herald-Standard##
"I never thought some of these other ideas were ever going to be in the cards," the House Transportation Committee chair told reporters this afternoon.
Speaking today at the annual Washington meeting of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), Shuster said he was hoping to get a surface transportation reauthorization bill done this summer. Sen. Barbara Boxer has put her committee's timeline at mid- to late-spring, using August as a deadline, when federal highway funds are expected to run out. The current MAP-21 bill expires September 30, and Shuster is using that as his deadline.
Shuster told AASHTO that he's committed to a "fiscally responsible" bill that doesn't engage in deficit spending, and that he hopes to "build on the reforms in MAP-21," some of which haven't even been implemented yet.
"He kind of implied that we're done with reform," commented Joshua Schank of the Eno Center for Transportation after Shuster's remarks. "I don't think we're done with reform by a long shot."
Schank's primary objection to the status quo is that too much money is distributed by formula and not by merit. And funding transportation with corporate tax reform could potentially open the system up to more discretionary grant programs, Schank said, which would be a positive development. The most innovative transportation work — TIGER, New Starts — happens with general fund money, he said.
"The problem with destroying the user-pay model is that you potentially put funding in jeopardy all the time and you constantly have to go back and find new sources of funding," Schank said. "But the benefit is, I think there's a much better chance of reforming how we spend it — making it more multimodal in distribution — if it's not just coming from highway users."

Resistors in parallel may take a few more calculations.
When there are parallel paths, some current will flow through one path and some through another path(s). The voltage across a group of parallel items is the same for each item. Ohms Law tells us that for any given voltage across a circuit, or section of a circuit, that voltage will equal the product of the circuit current, times the circuit resistance. If the current increases, then the resistance must decrease by some amount to keep the product the same. So in the formula E= I x R the current is inversely proportional to the resistance. We also know that if there are two resistors of different values in parallel, the path with the lower value of resistance to the current flowing will have the more current flowing through it.
With resistors in parallel we need to calculate the circuits equivalent resistance before we can calculate the total current flowing through the set of resistors. There are two formulas for finding the total resistance of parallel resistors in a circuit. A shorthand formula for just 2 resistors in parallel and the general formula for any number of resistors in parallel circuit.
In this circuit diagram there are two resistors labeled R1 and R2 wired in parallel. Some of the current will flow through R1 and some other current will flow through R2. One question that comes to mind is how much current flows through each path? The voltage across each resistor is the same.
Given: 9 volt supply, R1 is 510 Ohms, R2 is 1000 ohms.
Find: Current flowing through the R1 path and through the R2 path?
Step 1: Find the total resistance.
(R1 X R2) / (R1 + R2) The product, divided by the sum.

Percent = Total Resistance / resistor value.
Take a moment to think about these answers.
is reasonable that it will only have half the current flow.
in parallel. In this circuit the current is split into three paths.
Find: Current flow in each path: for R1, R2 and R3.
R1 is the lease resistance and the most current.
R2 and R3 currents seem reasonable.
Resistors in combination circuits take more time but are not all that hard to calculate. Bringing series and parallel circuits all together they function as one combination circuit. The process is to simplify and redrawn, over and over until it is solved.
Find: Voltages at test points A, B and C with respect to ground.

Step 6: Find the total circuit current.

R23 is a voltage divider across the 4.15 volts.
R4 and R56 is voltage divider across the 4.15 volts.
R56 is one third the resistance of the divider.

Q: __declspec(dllimport) and extern (OBS) i was going through the OBS source to understand how they did the plugin system. I'm stuck on one part that i cannot reproduce and that i didn't find the answer anywhere.
To share the function with the plugin (dll) that OBS load, there is a pointer to an APIInterface. This pointer is named API so i'll call it like that from now. This variable is declare in OBSApi\APIInterface.h and the declaration is: BASE_EXPORT extern APIInterface *API; where BASE_EXPORT is defined in OBSApi\Utility\XT_Windows.h with
#if defined(NO_IMPORT)
    #define BASE_EXPORT
#elif !defined(BASE_EXPORTING)
    #define BASE_EXPORT     __declspec(dllimport)
#else
    #define BASE_EXPORT     __declspec(dllexport)
#endif

Finally, in the the constructor of a OBS object (in the main program) it initialize API with API = CreateOBSApiInterface();.
But, i cannot compile if there is a variable that i only declare & not initialize. So, i was wondering what i'm missing, how can this API variable be shared among the plugin ?
Thanks for your answers.

A: What the plugin is doing in this case is using a global variable that is exported   using __declspec(dllexport) from the plugin into your program.
In your program it is imported using __declspec(dllimport).
The variable itself is defined within the plugin and the extern tells your program that the declaration is not found in the current compilation unit, so it will be found when the linker goes off to look for it.
A small example of how this would look is as follows:
plugin.h
/* define the int* as an exported external. */
BASE_EXPORT extern int* exportedInt;

plugin.c
#define BASE_EXPORTING /* so the macro shown will export. */
#include "plugin.h"

/* actually define the int* so it exists for the linker to find. */
int* exportedInt = NULL;

your_program.c
#include "plugin.h"

/* use the int* in your program, the linker will find it in plugin.cpp. */
exportedInt = CreateIntPointerFunction();

The plugin could then be compiled as a static (.lib) or dynamic (.lib and .dll) library which you can then link in with your code.
With a dynamic library you can choose to:

*

*Dynamically load it at runtime, no need for the .lib but you will need to manually find the values and entry points.

*Link it at compilation using the .lib, .dll combo which will automatically tell the program where to find all the entry points and values.

As long as you include the header file in the compilation unit and tell the linker where to find the .lib when not doing runtime loading, you'll be able to use the exported functions and variables in your own program.

'Bedevilled' and 'Hamill' Lead AFI Fest Audience Award Winners
Posted on Friday, November 12th, 2010 by Germain Lussier
A huge hit and award winner at Fantastic Fest 2010, Bedevilled, as well as the inspiring tale of a deaf MMA fighter, Hamill are among the audience award winners at the 2010 AFI Fest in Hollywood, CA.
Bedevilled, directed by Cheol-soo Jang, won the award in the New Auteurs section while Hamill, directed by Oren Kaplan, won in the Breakthrough category. Other audience award winners include Boy, directed by Taika Waititi, in the World Cinema category as well as Littlerock, directed by Mike Ott, in the Young Americans category. Read more about the films after the jump.
I reviewed Hamill a few days ago and you can read that write-up here. I'm not at all surprised that it won the audience award because A) It played really well, B) It's a real crowd-pleaser and C) It was a world premiere featuring an audience filled with people who worked on the movie. That's not meant to be a knock on Hamill, just that – maybe – the audience was slightly biased. Still, it's a prestigious award and well-deserved. Congratulations to everyone who worked on the project.
Bedevilled is simply amazing. Coming out of Fantastic Fest 2010 it was my favorite movie of the festival and while I wasn't working for /Film at the time, here's what I had to say about it:
As is usually the case at a film festival, the films you just sort of walk into end up being the best things you see. Such was the case with Bedevilled, which made its way onto my schedule out of pure coincidence and ended up being my favorite film of the festival up to this point. It's about a timid Korean girl who visits old friends on a nearby island that's without 20th century values and rights. On this island, the men treat women however they want and very few people seem to care. It's an awful place where terrible things happen to perfectly nice people. That is, until, one of the women finally has enough. What's so great about Bedevilled is the emotions it elicits. The slow burn of the story and wonderful character development make the audience really feel something for the characters and thereby develop a gut reaction to them. So, by the time the film really kicks in, it's cathartic and exciting. A violent revenge movie not to forget, Bedevilled does not have US distribution yet. I hope that changes soon.
And while I didn't see, or know anything about, the other films just yet, here are their descriptions from the AFI Fest press release. If they are anything like the two films above, I'll be seeking them out immediately.
Boy: When his absent father returns home, a young boy in 1980's New Zealand must confront the man he thought he remembered. DIR/SCR Taika Waititi. New Zealand.
Littlerock: When her car breaks down on a sightseeing tour of California , a Japanese student discovers a different America than the one in her dreams. DIR/SCR Mike Ott. USA.
Congrats to all the winners and thanks to AFI Fest for another amazing festival.

A: Looks like your activity is extending AppCompatActivity and your AppointmentBookingDialogFragment is subclass of android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment
Replace this code with below one FragmentManager mfFragmentManager = ((Activity)mContext).getFragmentManager(); and also make sure your adapter have right import import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager not the import android.app.FragmentManager
FragmentManager mfFragmentManager = ((AppCompatActivity)mContext).getSupportFragmentManager();

For your reference have modified your code like below
android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager mfFragmentManager = ((AppCompatActivity)mContext).getSupportFragmentManager();
AppointmentBookingDialogFragment appointmentBookingDialogFragment = new AppointmentBookingDialogFragment(mContext,position);
appointmentBookingDialogFragment.show(mfFragmentManager,"appointmentdialog");

TAG HEUER'S NEWEST SMART WATCHES MOVE FASTER AND STAY CHARGED LONGER
Tag Heuer is making its smartwatches even smarter, with a longer battery life, twice the data transfer speed, a new charger display console and a better screen with a higher contrast ratio and improved color definition. Two new models of the Connected Caliber E4 represent the fourth generation of Tag Heuer's Connected smartwatch collection, first introduced in 2014. One is a redesigned 45 mm model and the other, a smaller, 42 mm size. Both contain the new caliber E4.
The screen on the 42 mm version seems just as big as the 45 mm because of a thinner, almost nonexistent bezel that is tucked under the crystal and angled toward the case. The smaller model is meant for users "with an appetite for elegance, but who want to stay connected," said Tag's Connected Watch director Teddy Florent in a digital press launch.
By contrast, the sportier, revamped 45mm model has a more visible bezel with a marked minute track and a ceramic insert, resembling traditional Tag Heuer sports watches like the Aquaracer and the Autavia. The bezel and case slope down slightly toward the wrist, making what really is a big watch feel less chunky on the wrist. At the same time, it has been endowed with a larger crown, coated in rubber, to make it easier to adjust, even with just a fingertip. On both models, the chronograph-like pushers—which give the watch a "more mechanical feel"—are more streamlined. There is a titanium case option for the 45mm model, another element that links the Connected series to Tag's luxury mechanical sports watches. New face designs include the Riverside, an animated background that is constantly moving, representing time elapsing.
Technology-wise, both run on Wear OS by Google, and have Bluetooth 5.0, which boosts data transfer up to twice the speed as the third-generation Connected series, introduced in 2020. The 45 mm model also has a longer battery life—30 percent compared to the previous version. The 42mm model has a full day of battery life, even while using the Wellness app. A new charger doubles as a cool console stand, and when the watch is snapped into it, the time remains discreetly lit while it's charging, so it functions as a bedside table clock. New digital features include a five-hour weather forecast, along with current wellness stats, including charts that track swimming, cycling, golf, running and walking performance. There is even a new guided workout feature led by an avatar-like fitness coach.
If it's beginning to seem like your existing Connected model is out of date, don't worry: Tag Heuer also just announced a new trade-in program, giving customers preferential access to the latest generation models, along with trade-in credits for some existing Connected watches. The older models will be recycled. "We want our customers to be able to take advantage of this new technology," said Tag Heuer CEO Frédéric Arnault at a press conference. Customers will also have the option to upgrade to Wear OS 3 at no extra cost when it becomes available.
The new series will be supported by an ad campaign featuring tennis champ Naomi Osaka and Olympic sprinter Sydney McLaughlin. The black DLC titanium 45 mm model is priced at $2,550. Steel with a rubber strap is $2,050, and with a steel bracelet, $2,250. The 42 mm model is priced at $1,800.

From generation to generation to generation, the battles go on, but here's some great tips for parents from the author on how to teach the children to resolve not just their conflicts, but also to empower siblings to resolve conflicts with other people throughout their lives … something we can learn at any time when we parent ourselves later in life to become more mature adults.
Most importantly, with the new understanding that sibling rivalry is normal, to be expected, has a valid purpose, and with wisdom, and can be managed well, my heart is lightened by forgiveness, hope, and best wishes for all. Hope yours is too.
