There are lots of ways to make chocolate wontons. The filling can be as simple or as complex as you want them to be. This is one way of making them that is as quick as it is simple.
This is great if you want to whip up a super quick treat or to use as part of a dessert.
All you need to make these are four things: a packet of wonton wrappers, a block of your favourite chocolate, caster sugar and oil for deep frying.
Simply place a piece of chocolate in the centre of the wonton wrapper, fold in in half and secure at the edges using a little water. Deep fry them in oil until golden, then drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle them with caster sugar and serve.
You can use any chocolate you like, but the best ones are those with some kind of filling. I used Cadbury's Caramello for these.
We had these by themselves, but they make a great accompaniment if you want to serve them as dessert: serve them with anything from ice cream to a berry dessert sauce.
Where I live they don't sell the wonton wrappers. Do you know any recipe for them?
These were a very yummy dessert. I have to hold myself back from eating too many at once.

, a celebrated old herbalist, was born in 1567, and bred up as a London apothecary, in which profession he became eminent, and was at length appointed apothecary to king James I. King Charles I. afterwards conferred upon him the title of Botanicus Regius Primarius. A great share of his attention, during a long life, was devoted to the study of plants. He had a garden well stored with rarities, and he bestowed equal notice upon the curiosities of the flower-garden, and on the native productions of his own and other countries, embracing their literary history, as well as their practical investigation.
His first publication was his "Paradisi in Sole Paradisus terrestris, or a choice Garden of all sorts of Rarest Flowers, &c.; to which is annexed a Kitchen Garden," &c. This was printed at London, anno 1629, in a folio of 612 pages. A second edition, "much corrected and enlarged," appeared in 1656, after the decease of the author. Both editions are dedicated "to the Queen's most excellent Majesty," which could hardly have been, as Dr. Pulteney supposed, queen Elizabeth; but rather the queen of Charles I.; and it is to the honour of those who edited the new impression, in 1656, that this dedication was not then suppressed. About a thousand plants, either species or varieties, are described in this book, of which 780 are figured, in wood cuts, partly copied from Clusius and Lobel, partly original, but all of them coarse and stiff, though sometimes expressive. Numerous remarks are interspersed, respecting the botanical history or medical virtues of the plants, as well as their culture; but the latter subject is, for the most part, given in the introductory chapters, which display no small degree of intelligence and experience. This book affords a very correct and pleasing idea of the gardens of our ancestors, at the time it was written -, and has been considered, by the learned authors of the Hortus Kewensis," unequivocal authority as to the time when any particular species was introduced or cultivated among us. Though our kitchen-gardens had not arrived at such perfection as they attained in king William's days, and have since preserved, there is reason to think the science of horticulture declined considerably after the time of Parkinson, previous to its restoration at the end of the seventeenth century. It is no small praise to Parkinson's work, that the late Mr. Curtis held it in | particular estimation, always citing it in his Magazine with peculiar pleasure and respect.
In 1640 our author published his principal work, the "Theatrum Botanicum, or Theatre of Plants, or an Herbal of large extent;" &c. a ponderous folio of 1746 pages, with innumerable wooden cuts. This work and the Herbal of Gerarde were the two main pillars of botany in England till the time of Ray; one or other, or both, being the inexhaustible resource of all who had any love for plants, or any interest in inquiring into their qualities. Of these two writers it is justly observed that Parkinson was by far the most original and the most copious, but his cuts being of vastly inferior merit to those admirable ones prepared for Conrad Gesner, with which Gerarde had the means of adorning his publication, the latter has greatly prevailed in popularity, as a book of reference. It is indeed chiefly for the figures that we now cite these works. Nice distinctions of species, or any discrimination between species and varieties, are not to be expected; still less, any ideas of classification or scientific arrangement, worthy a moment's consideration or comparison. It is not to be wondered at if these great works contain some hundreds of repetitions, when we consider how obscurely many plants had been described, or even figured, by previous authors; insomuch that it was in many cases next to impossible to discover whether a given plant had been described before. Parkinson, however, is entitled to superior praise on this head, having taken all possible pains to avoid such mistakes, by his deep study of synonyms. Some papers of Lobel are said to have fallen into the hands of Parkinson, after the death of the former, which proved of use to his undertaking; but it does not appear that he implicitly confided in such, any more than in previously printed authorities, without a due investigation, and therefore they became in some measure his own.

While Michael Jordan made headlines this week for reaching into his pockets to help those impacted by Hurricane Florence, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has agreed to do the same to support women's causes and domestic violence awareness. The reasoning just might be a little different.
After the NBA conducted a seven-month investigation into the workplace culture of the Dallas Mavericks, the organization's longtime owner has agreed to donate $10 million to various organizations that promote women in leadership roles and combat domestic violence, according to ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski.
The NBA also announced on Wednesday that it will require staffing, reporting and policy to improve the workplace inside the Mavericks organization in Texas.
According to the NBA's report, Mavericks were found to have "Serious workplace misconduct by former and current employees," and "improper or ineffective management."
The NBA's report says that claims were substantiated by 15 current and former employees regarding inappropriate comments and touching by former Dallas Mavericks President and CEO Terdema Ussery.
The investigation, which was prompted by a Sports Illustrated report into the "corrosive workplace culture" of the Mavericks, looked into years of examples of a hostile workplace for women on the business side of the operation as well as allegations of sexual misconduct and sexual harassment against former team president Terdema Ussery.
The league determined Cuban was not aware of Ussery's actions.
After the SI report came out in February, Cuban hired former AT&T executive Cynthia Marshall as CEO while also bringing in Tarsha LaCour to be the senior vice president of human resources and and Cyndee Wales to serve as the chief ethics and compliance officer, according to the Star-Telegram.
Everything was taken into account during the workplace misconduct investigation involving Mavericks employees and the big donation is a result of the probe.
There is certainly more details to the report and the investigation. The goal is just for it to never happen again. Not in Dallas. Not in the NBA. Not anywhere. This donation is a step in the right direction.


❶The final sentences explain the major implications of your work. Mention negative results as well as positive.
Be careful to consider all of these rather than simply pushing your favorite one. If you can eliminate all but one, that is great, but often that is not possible with the data in hand. In that case you should give even treatment to the remaining possibilities, and try to indicate ways in which future work may lead to their discrimination. A special case of the above. Avoid jumping a currently fashionable point of view unless your results really do strongly support them.
What are the things we now know or understand that we didn't know or understand before the present work? Include the evidence or line of reasoning supporting each interpretation. What is the significance of the present results: This section should be rich in references to similar work and background needed to interpret results. Is there material that does not contribute to one of the elements listed above?
Include the broader implications of your results. Do not repeat word for word the abstract, introduction or discussion.
Recommendations Include when appropriate most of the time Remedial action to solve the problem. Further research to fill in gaps in our understanding. Directions for future investigations on this or related topics. Simpson and Hays cite more than double-author references by the surname of the first author followed by et al. Pfirman, Simpson and Hays would be: Nature , , National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commonly asked questions about ozone. Harper Collins Publishers, New York, pp.
Child Review of ciliary structure and function. Biochemistry and Physiology of Protozoa , Vol. Hutner, editor , Academic Press, New York, Bonani A high altitude continental paleotemperature record derived from noble gases dissolved in groundwater from the San Juan Basin, New Mexico.
Figures and tables, including captions, should be embedded in the text and not in an appendix, unless they are more than pages and are not critical to your argument. Order of Writing Your thesis is not written in the same order as it is presented in. The following gives you one idea how to proceed. Here is another approach. Write up a preliminary version of the background section first. This will serve as the basis for the introduction in your final paper. As you collect data, write up the methods section.
Be factual and orderly in this section, but try not to be too dry. Once you have written the results section, you can move on to the discussion section. This is usually fun to write, because now you can talk about your ideas about the data. Many papers are cited in the literature because they have a good cartoon that subsequent authors would like to use or modify. In writing the discussion session, be sure to adequately discuss the work of other authors who collected data on the same or related scientific questions.
In this section, you take the ideas that were mentioned in the discussion section and try to come to some closure. If some hypothesis can be ruled out as a result of your work, say so. If more work is needed for a definitive answer, say that. The final section in the paper is a recommendation section. This is really the end of the conclusion section in a scientific paper. Make recommendations for further research or policy actions in this section. If you can make predictions about what will be found if X is true, then do so.
You must write your abstract last. All figures and tables should be numbered and cited consecutively in the text as figure 1, figure 2, table 1, table 2, etc. Include a caption for each figure and table, citing how it was constructed reference citations, data sources, etc. View in PDF Format The thesis statement is the center around which the rest of your paper revolves; it is a clear, concise statement of the position you will defend.
Summarizes, states a fact Broad, makes a generalization Repeats class discussion or other critics Unrelated to or contradicted by the text Unrelated or partial response to prompt Language is vague, wordy. Because, so, as But, however, yet, although, despite When, where Unless, except Before, once, until. Specifies your reasoning Introduces nuance Confines idea to specific time or place Introduces an exception to your idea Specifies order in which things occur.
What types of information should you include in your introduction? Move 1 establish your territory say what the topic is about Move 2 establish a niche show why there needs to be further research on your topic Move 3 introduce the current research make hypotheses; state the research questions Each Move has a number of stages.

Buying a house requires careful consideration. If you are not an expert or you lack the experience needed in purchasing property, it is vital to work with a real estate agent. However, not all agents are competent. Therefore, selecting the best real estate agents should be your primary objective. That said, here are steps to follow in your quest of finding an excellent real estate agent.
Getting some referrals is the first step to finding a reputable real estate agent. It is prudent to get referrals from trusted friends and family members. Ideally, if they narrate a positive experience, then, this is a sign of credibility of the agent in question. More to this, you should do read some online reviews, which should be from trusted sources.
Once you have done thorough research, you will have a few real estate agents to consider for selection. At this point, you should arrange to meet them in person. Take this opportunity and ask them the toughest of questions to access their suitability. Choose the best depending on the quality of answers you get.
You need to establish what different agents bring to the table. Some aspects that may help you knock out some agents include the area of specialization and experience. Categorize real agents based on their experience, the one with the highest being one with many years of experience. Regarding their area of specialization, you should choose one that deals with the type of property you wish to buy.
At this step, you will only have one real estate agent. He or he may be the one to help you in your quest of finding a good house, but you have to consider your feelings. If you feel that the agent is ready to work to the best of your interests, then you are on the right track. If the opposite is true, then do not hesitate to look for a better option.

1.4 Miles of Climbing
A trio of desert adventurers has established one of the longest girdle traverses in North America: the 1.4-mile traverse of the Great White Wall in Utah. British expatriate Paul Ross, Andy Ross, and Layne Potter traversed this enormous slab in the San Rafael Swell, using parts of routes established earlier on the 1,200-foot face. A Mile and a Bit of Fun went at 5.8R. Paul Ross, a British expatriate, has spearheaded dozens of long new routes on the east-facing slabs of the San Rafael Swell, just south of I-70. Although they have modest ratings, these climbs are sparsely protected and can be dangerous—Ross broke his ankle in a fall last autumn when a ledge collapsed under his feet.Ross, a prolific new-router, brought the British tradition of girdle traverses with him when he moved to North America in the mid-1960s; he pioneered the traverses of Whitehorse, Cathedral, and Cannon cliffs in New Hampshire, where he lived for many years. In 2001, he and Jeff Pheasant created an unlikely nine-pitch traverse that circumnavigates the famous Castleton Tower, outside Moab, Utah. For more information and photos of the new route, visit www.climbingmoab.com/rock/db/	san_rafael_swell__south_/eastern_reef_slabs	/a_mile_and_a_bit_of_fun.html.

The review of the Australian Bicycle Helmet Standards which commenced in 2015, will be released shortly for public comment.
A copy of the draft standard can be found here.
Please note, this is not the ACCC review on the requirement to meet the Australian standard – that is a separate review. Also, this is separate review to the often heated debate as to whether or not bicycle helmets should be mandatory.


ROCK HILL, South Carolina – April 24, 2015 - 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE: DDD) announced today that it anticipates its first quarter revenue to be in the range of $158 million to $160 million. The company expects to report a GAAP loss in the range of $0.13 per share to $0.15 per share and non-GAAP earnings in the range of $0.02 per share to $0.04 per share. The company expects to report that it ended the quarter with approximately $200 million of available cash.
These preliminary results are based on current expectations, subject to quarter-end closing adjustments, and actual results may differ.
The company believes that economic weaknesses attributable to several factors, including the decline in the Euro and Yen relative to the U.S. Dollar and the aftershock of lower oil prices, caused the majority of its aerospace, automotive and healthcare customers to curb new printer purchases during the quarter and curtail their materials and service purchases. In addition, certain metal and nylon applications and performance issues delayed the company's ability to sell additional printers during the quarter. The combined impact of these factors compressed the company's expected revenue growth for the quarter to 9% over the comparable quarter of 2014, or 17% at first quarter 2014 exchange rates. A stronger U.S. Dollar reduced total quarterly revenues by approximately $12 million at comparable Q1 2014 currency rates.
"We were surprised and disappointed by the abrupt interruption in customer demand late in the quarter from several economic factors that we believe caused our industrial customers to defer their planned investments," said Avi Reichental, President and Chief Executive Officer, 3DS. "We believe the combination of our expanding international business and growing concentration of manufacturing customers made us more vulnerable to the steep currencies decline relative to the U.S. Dollar and the aftermath of lower oil prices that curbed aerospace and automotive expenditures."
The company expects to report positive contributions from most of its revenue categories, including software, services and consumer, over the comparable 2014 period. However, stronger consumer products performance that yielded a 169% consumer printer units increase and continued direct metal demand that generated 46% metal printer units growth, were not enough to make up for the revenue shortfall from postponed industrial customers' purchases.
"Several weeks into the second quarter, bookings are ahead of the same period in the first quarter," continued Reichental. "Specifically, OEMs that paused to assess their own exposure to foreign currency and macroeconomic impacts are beginning to resume their capital investments and are making the purchases they deferred during the first quarter."
The company expects to report that its consolidated gross profit margin for the quarter expanded 110 basis points sequentially to approximately 49.0% despite drag from lower revenue and adverse mix and rate.
Given current uncertainties from continued macroeconomic pressures and foreign currency headwinds, management is undertaking a comprehensive evaluation of its full year guidance and plans to update investors during its scheduled first quarter 2015 earnings conference call on May 6, 2015.
patterns thus far during the second quarter and are accelerating our planned integration, productivity and efficiency measures without impairing future growth," concluded Reichental.
3D Systems plans to hold a conference call to discuss its preliminary financial results for the first quarter of 2015 on Friday, April 24, 2015, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.
The company expects to release final first quarter and to file its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2015. 3D Systems plans to hold a conference call and simultaneous webcast to discuss these results on Wednesday, May 6, 2015, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

El busto de Francesco Barberini es una escultura en mármol realizada por Gian Lorenzo Bernini que está conservada en la National Gallery of Art de Washington D.C.. La obra fue realizada en 1623 y fue encargada por el Papa Urbano VIII, nieto de Francesco Barberini, protonotario apostólico. Este último murió en 1600, por lo tanto Bernini esculpió el busto de un retrato de Barberini, pintado anteriormente y que actualmente forma parte de la colección Corsini en Florencia. Bernini se atuvo estrechamente al retrato, si bien en la pintura la figura era de de tres cuartos, mientras la escultura es un busto en el que se recoge la cabeza, hombros y pecho.

Procedencia
La escultura fue donada a la National Gallery of Art de Washington D.C. en 1961 como parte de la donación de la Colección Kress. La Kress Foundation había adquirido precedentemente la obra, más precisamente en 1950, al conde Alessandro Contini-Bonacossi junto con una colección de 125 pinturas.

Q: Android - How to programmatically set USER_EMAIL in Acra crash report? My app uses ACRA to send a silent notification if the app crashes.
The official documentation shows how to set the user email in XML and this SO question shows how to set it via annotations, but how can I set the user email address in code?
Presuming I've started off in the right direction, this is as far as I've got...
ACRA.init(this);
ACRAConfiguration acraConfig = ACRA.getConfig();
//acraConfig.howToSetUserEmail???

UPDATE
Thanks to 323go's helpful answer, here is the working code:
import org.acra.*;
import org.acra.annotation.ReportsCrashes;
import android.app.Application;
import android.content.Context;

@ReportsCrashes(
    formKey = "", // This is required for backward compatibility but not used
    formUri = "http://example.com/crash-reports/my-script-which-emails-me-the-acra-data.php",
    sharedPreferencesName = "THE_NAME_OF_MY_SHARED_PREFS_FILE",
    sharedPreferencesMode = Context.MODE_PRIVATE
)
public class MyApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        // The following line triggers the initialization of ACRA
        ACRA.init(this);

    }

}

Then, elsewhere in my app, I set the acra.user.email preference in a similar manner as shown in the accepted answer, below.

A: The documentation says you can do it through SharedPreferences:
getSharedPreferences().edit().putString( "acra.user.email", "your@email.com" ).commit();

should do the trick. I haven't tested that, as I don't see much use for setting the email address at run-time in my setup.

Posted on December 10, 2010 June 30, 2020 by Diane McGee
I rented Marie and Bruce, a film starring Julianne Moore, Matthew Broderick and a gaggle of New York (real) actors. I sometimes bulk up my Netflix cue with a series of films featuring an actor or director whose work I admire, a strategy that has led to some obscure treats. My Vera Farmiga Festival yielded Down to the Bone, followed by Never Forever, a lovely, obscure romance about a privileged wife of a self-involved American-Korean executive who's incapable of spawning the child she desperately desires. Icy, humorless Vera meets an immigrant worker of Korean descent and, engaging him for sperm-acquisition, submits her body and sensibility, initially in revulsion and determination. She proceeds to fall off the deep end of Love's pool, submerged in feelings and desires, and a conundrum: wealth and security or emotional fulfillment? Her life rafts demand release or calcification. The story is handled with a low key realism, the obstacles to a happy ending entirely unforced. The journey and resolution is suspenseful and ultimately deeply satisfying. I loved this film.
I was hoping I'd uncover another gem with Marie and Bruce. As the credits rolled, over Julianne's abrasive voice-over, her name appeared as a producer. Onscreen, a typewriter gets thrown out of an apartment window, its trajectory edited from a variety of angles, elucidating the effect of gravity and spotlighting the good work of the NY Sanitation Department. Julianne's nodules continue to be tortured, explaining how she hates her husband and his typewriter in an expletive-driven tirade that's neither clever nor funny. Then we see her, looking rather lovely, in bed. It's morning, Matthew's asleep beside her, and she begins again to hate and berate him, directly into the camera in case we might miss the full impact, until he rises and gets her breakfast. I didn't watch much more.
There are a variety of reasons films end up this bad. The two most frequent reasons involve a good script that gets deconstructed by committee on the way to and/or in production. The second – and likely the case with Marie and Bruce – begins with a bad script (often an adaptation of a play), which the (first-time film) writer-director enticed his well-known actor friends or colleagues to sign on to (for producer credit) as a personal favor – in the hope or with the illusion that their participation will elevate the project, not merely enhance its (and their) credits. Sometimes this occurs; some professionals are revelations moving from one title and experience to another, endowing brilliance and style from expertise in a different medium to film, as Tom Ford, Julian Schnable, or Sam Mendes did in their feature directing debuts. But for lesser mortals – as well as their industry-friends – this should not be tried at home.
I'm a story-centered entertainment creator. As a child, I loved to draw and read, and explored dance and music; as a teen, I fell head over heels with Shakespeare and acting as a channel that led to touring and work in SF and Off-Broadway theater, and finally, to writing and developing scripts. I spent the last decade as a literary agent and manager, applying what I know to bring new writing talent and screenplays to the fore. I currently advise producers and writers and am involved developing and creating projects for live and filmed media.

Debate on School Improvement Bill to Continue in 2020
06/28/2019 in: News
By Russ McKinney
With this year's session of the state legislature now officially over, lawmakers are already turning their attention to next year's session, and like this year the top priority will be passage of a massive School Improvement Bill.
2019 Session of The SC General Assembly Adjourns - Several Major Bills Still Await Action
In the final hours of this year's session of the state legislature, Senate yesterday passed an economic incentives bill aimed at persuading the NFL's Carolina Panthers to move it's headquarters and practice facilities from Charlotte to Rock Hill. A $250 Million investment for York County. Rock Hill Senator Wes Climer told the Senate it's a huge win for the state's economy.
State House Week: Thousands of Teachers Ralley for Education Reform
Some 10,000 teachers and supporters from across the state descended on the Statehouse this week sending a powerful message to lawmakers that they want more state support in funding and in education reforms, and they are not happy with the school improvement bill pending in the legislature.
Santee Cooper Debate Begins In Senate
School Improvement Bill Pushed To Next Year
Leaders in the state legislature had hoped that the magnitude of deciding what to do with state-owned utility Santee-Cooper would not interfere with their efforts to pass a desperately needed school improvement bill this year. But with just two weeks remaining in this year's legislative session Santee Cooper's future is being debated on the Senate floor, and the education bill is being pushed to next year.
2019-20 State Budget Advances with Major Increases In Education Funding
Budget Also Contains Off-Shore Oil Prohibition
The S.C. General Assembly passes hundreds of bills and resolutions each year, but the most important measure enacted by the legislature is the annual State Appropriations Bill. That's the state's operating budget for the next fiscal year which begins on July 1. Not only does the budget provide the funding for state government to operate, it also identifies the priority needs of the state.
Education Improvement Bill Slows in the S.C. General Assembly
State lawmakers are in the final month of this year's legislative session with most of this year's priority bills still being debated.
This week, a Senate sub-committee opted to hold until next year's session a controversial portion of the massive school improvement bill in hopes of securing passage of the remainder of the bill this year. The bill which has already passed in the House of Representatives is viewed as the most important matter for the legislature this session.
Fetal Heartbeat Abortion Bill Heads to Debate in the SC House
This year's attempt by pro-life members of the state legislature to pass restrictions on abortions is centered in the House of Representatives. A bill that would ban almost all abortions if a fetal heartbeat is detected in a woman passed the House Judiciary Committee this week on a mostly party line vote. Experts say a fetal heartbeat can typically be detected around the sixth week of pregnancy.
Energy Matters Dominate This Week at the S.C. Statehouse
S.C. lawmakers had hoped to keep the decks at the Statehouse clear this legislative session to be able to focus on improving the state's public school system. A major education bill has already been approved by the House.
But matters regarding the state's energy future are generating a lot of attention.
Aside from the enormous question of whether or not the state should sell Santee Cooper, the debt-plagued state owned utility, the future of solar energy in the state is being debated.
Education Reform Is Critical To the State's Economy
The S.C. House of Representatives this week overwhelmingly passed a major bill that overhauls the state's education system.
It pumps more money into the system, gives the state education superintendent more ability to take over low-performing school districts, and creates a nearly $100 Million fund to help bring businesses to places where schools are poor and struggling.
The state's low performing school system is hurting South Carolina's businesses, and the state's Republican leadership is moving to try and correct deficiencies.
Bills to Restrict Authority of Local Governments and Education Reform Debated at the State House
The S.C. General Assembly is attempting to exert its authority over local governments in this year's legislative session.
The House of Representatives this week passed and sent to the Senate a bill that would stop local governments from passing regulations on cigarettes and vaping products. Supporters of the bill say such power should rest only with the state so as to prevent a mixed bag of laws and regulations from popping up across the state.

Woman wins case for injuries during sex while on duty
Australia,Immigration/Law/Rights,Lifestyle/Fashion, Sat, 21 Apr 2012 IANS
Sydney, April 21 (IANS) An Australian woman has won a court battle to seek workers' compensation after being injured while having sex in a motel room when a light fitting fell on her head. The woman was on a work-related tour.
The woman, in her late 30s, was working in human relations for a government agency which had sent her to a town in New South Wales, where she and a colleague conducted budget reviews and met local staff. She was booked into a motel, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
A judge ruled that the woman was hurt during the course of her employment because she had been sent in November 2007 on a job in the small rural town where she had checked into the motel, the Daily Mail reported.
The court said the woman, whose name hasn't been released, is entitled to compensation for facial and psychological injuries suffered when a light fixture fell off the wall in her motel room.
The male friend she had gone to bed with testified that they were "having sex" and he did not know if they bumped the light above the bed or whether it just fell off.
"I think she was on her back when it happened, but I was not paying attention because we were rolling around," he said in his statement.
Justice John Nicholas of the Australian Federal Court agreed with the woman's barrister that she was hurt during the course of her employment while visiting the town.
