A: $table variable used in your model is of type string.
protected $table = 'categories';

A: You should make changes in two places:
public function store(Request $request) {
    Categorie::create([
        'name' => $request->get('name'), // 1st place
    ]);

    return redirect::to('/categorie');
}

And:
class Categorie extends Model {
    protected $table = 'categories'; // 2nd place
    protected $fillable = ['name'];
}

Explanation:
$table attribute of Model class which Categorie class extends from accepts a table name as string (Not Array) to link this model to it's corresponding table in database.

Initial measurements indicate the landspout tornado traveled roughly six miles, with wind speeds up to 99 miles per hour.
"The more I watched it. I saw it form in to a funnel. The more I watched, it got my attention and kind of scared me," said Scott Meining, a man who caught the tornado on camera tearing through his oat fields.
On Tuesday the NWS investigators began mapping it's path and damage, they even traced it's path in fields a couple of miles outside of Platteville.
NWS investigators say this landspout tornado was relatively narrow, spanning just 100 feet wide.
Teams estimate that the tornado was on the ground for about 30 minutes before it dissipated.

JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli Cabinet minister on Wednesday dismissed claims that police used controversial spyware to surveil protesters, a day after a newspaper investigation prompted outraged lawmakers to seek a formal inquiry.
On Tuesday, a Hebrew-language business paper published allegations that the Israel Police used NSO Group spyware to hack the phones of the leaders of protests against former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, municipal leaders and other citizens without proper oversight. The police denied the report's findings and said they operate according to the law, and the NSO Group said it does not identify its clients.

The Formation of the Old Testament Canon
Canonization Of The Old Testament Pdf
Translations and manuscripts. The Apostle Paul was arrested in Jerusalem and imprisoned for two years in Palestine before being sent to Rome for another two years of imprisonment. It should be noted that eventually the books of the Apocrypha were placed in the Septuagint.
For twenty-five years, Jerome continued his work of translation. He indicated that the time in which the sacred books of the Jews were written extended from Moses to Artaxerxes who reigned from B. Naturally he gave the late priestly versions the precedence. Finally, in a conference in Jamnia, about A.
First, it denoted a means of determining criteria for inclusion in Christian sacred writings. This is also true with regard to the authorship of James.
This is also true with regard to the authorship of Jude. The outer coat of the papyrus reed was given the name biblos in Egypt during the eleventh century B. The writings of the Apostolic Fathers, Apologists, and Polemicists prepare the way for the eventual acceptance of the entire New Testament canon on a level with that of the Old. They therefore may have been added as early as B. These were frequently of local and temporary value.
Stephen Langton, archbishop of Canterbury, divided the Vulgate into chapters. Of these ten, six are completely in accord with our present canon, while three omit only the book of Revelation, and one the book of Hebrews. The second division of the Prophets included Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Book of the Twelve, which contained the minor prophets. These two letters and possibly the book of Hebrews were written during a period of liberty for the Apostle Paul.
The Bible fails to describe the process of canonization, yet it does describe the preservation of sacred writings. The Council of Carthage gave formal conciliar recognition of all of the books of the New Testament. In these writings there is all the notice taken of the books of the New Testament that could be expected.
The Geneva Bible insisted that the apocryphal books should not be used in deciding matters of doctrine. Jerusalem and the temple, with its sacrificial system are destroyed following a Jewish uprising.
In the early Christian Church, believers were forced to decide what books of Scripture they would be willing to die. Category Portal WikiProject Book.

Development of the Old Testament canon
Canonization of the New Testament ca. Thus we have a glimpse of the beginning of that third stage in the canonization of the Old Testament which, as in the case of the New, der kleine prinz pdf free continued for fully three centuries.
By the time of Christ, a threefold division was recognized, though it was common to continue to refer to all of the Old Testament in its two-fold form. This era represents a period in which the orthodox church comes to general agreement concerning the canon.
The early church held to a basic outline of authoritative books, but certain writings were not universally acknowledged as inspired Scripture. Many are unaware of the fact that the Bible was not initially divided into chapters and verses. The new law thus adopted was evidently the one gradually developed and finally formulated by the Jewish priests in Babylonia. Authorship Dating Hebrew canon. It is true that no such declaration is to be found in the Canons of Nicaea, and it is uncertain whether St.

First Maccabees records one of the most important crises in Israelish history. The same influences which led the early Christians to add the Epistles and Acts undoubtedly operated upon the minds of the Jews. This is not to suggest that there was a recognized collection, but it does show the esteem that the church had for individual writings. The second sense in which the term is used is through application to what has been measured. Samson It is possible that there were other judges, but these are the only ones mentioned in the book of Judges.
Ruth was the great grandmother of David. Kings written by a succession of prophets and collected and edited by Jeremiah? Philippians also originated within this era, though slightly later. Shiloh destroyed by Philistines and Tabernacle moved. That it was attributed to Solomon also told in its favor.
In New Testament times its canonicity is fully established e. From the two- to three-fold division By the time of Christ, a threefold division was recognized, though it was common to continue to refer to all of the Old Testament in its two-fold form.

Dubai's DIFC To Stage Forum For MENA Leaders
In partnership with Deutsche Bank, the new DIFC Forum will open up discussions on doing business in the MENA and Asia regions.
Dubai is to stage a new international forum designed to act as a platform for business leaders from Asia, the Middle East and Africa to discuss doing business in the region.
In a joint initiative between Dubai International Financial Centre and Deutsche Bank, the DIFC Forum will hold its inaugural meeting under the patronage of HH Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, deputy ruler of Dubai and president of DIFC, on the 21st November this year.
The event will be an opportunity for the leading business minds from the MENA region and Asia's southeast coastline, to debate and share their expertise of doing business.
The first forum will be held under the theme 'The Shifting Centre of Gravity' and will focus on the opportunities and challenges in growth markets as global financial dynamics shift to emerging economies.
Jeffrey Singer, CEO of DIFC Authority, said: "The shifting centre of gravity has various implications for businesses in the region and around the world.
"The surge of a new wealthy middle class in many Middle Eastern and Asian countries and the rise of the Renminbi as a global currency…set against a political backdrop of the on going regional tremors from the Arab Spring, the change of leadership in China for the next 10 years, the upcoming US elections and the Eurozone governments' response to regional debt issues…these are the conditions that gave rise to the DIFC Forum."
The Forum, which will take place at DIFC's Ritz-Carlton, will also focus on Dubai's role in facilitating emerging trade flows and supporting regional expansion.
Ashok Aram, CEO of Deutsche Bank, MENA, said: "Despite the challenging global situation the MENA region continues to offer steady growth prospects…we are happy to support one of the leading financial forums in the MENA region.
"We are deeply committed to the Middle East," continued Aram. "The way we viewed Asia in 2002 we now view the Middle East the same. We are very excited about this emerging shift in gravity."

By Frank Lovece Special to Newsday Updated October 15, 2018 4:52 PM
Merrick-raised music star Debbie Gibson was back on Long Island over the weekend celebrating her 30th high school reunion.
"What an amazing time at my 30 year reunion, Calhoun H.S." the pop star, 48, tweeted Saturday, the night of the event at Kasey's Kitchen and Cocktails in Rockville Centre. "Here I am with some great friends then and now!" she wrote, with before-and-after photos of herself and classmates Paul Signorelli, Tom Ratas and Mike Provenz.
Provenz also appeared with two different classmates in a Facebook photo Gibson posted Sunday. "Last night with friends Ron Luparello, Peter Ragone and Mike Provenz at my 30th high school reunion! Check out my Story for more pics with friends from high school. A lotta love and support in the room. TY [Thank you] ."
In the since-expired, one-minute Instagram Stories video, Gibson, who now lives in Las Vegas, poses happily in a series of still photos with many individual classmates. "Amazing to catch up with friends from high school last night," she wrote in graphical text. "A lotta love and support in the room."
"I did not know she was coming," reunion coordinator Wendy Gargiulo told Newsday. "She was a last-minute show," with no special security measures asked for or taken. "Our classmates treat Debbie the way we would treat any other classmate; she is embraced and treated with kindness and respect. She is a part of all our memories." At least 100 people attended, Gargiulo said.
Despite her platinum-record success while still in high school, Gibson — who had with five top-10 hits in close succession from 1987 to 1989 — attended graduation at Sanford H. Calhoun High School in Merrick.
"I did," the Long Island Music Hall of Famer told Newsday in August. "But we had to sign an insurance waiver saying if anyone got hurt that I was responsible." She added jocularly, "I did not torture myself all through high school to not graduate with my class!" and said with a laugh, "No injuries were sustained!"
"Great pics. We haven't aged a bit," Provenz joked on Gibson's Twitter page.

Aston Martin fails in F1 review bid of Vettel's Hungarian GP DQ
Aston Martin has failed in its bid to seek a review of Sebastian Vettel's disqualification from Formula 1's Hungarian Grand Prix, after an FIA hearing on Monday.
The Silverstone-based team had hoped to get the FIA stewards to look once again at its case, after Vettel's car was excluded from its second-place finish in Budapest for failing to have a mandatory one-litre of fuel remaining for post-race checks.
Aston Martin initially believed that telemetry data from the car showed there to be 1.44 litres more fuel in the car than the 0.3-litres that the FIA initially was able to pump out.
It reckoned that a fuel system failure in the car had contributed to the circumstances and meant that the fuel had not been pumped into the tank where the FIA could access it. The team launched both a right to review request with the stewards, and also has formally appealed against the decision.
But at an FIA hearing on Monday, the FIA denied Aston Martin's request to review the case because the latest indications from the team were that a mechanical problem potentially meant there was not one-litre of fuel left at all.

How Hamilton has lifted Norris' F1 self-belief: on and off track
For the request to review to be accepted, Aston Martin needed to provide a 'significant' and 'relevant' new element that was discovered after the event and had been unavailable to the competitor at the time of the decision.
At the hearing, the team submitted analysis from more than 100 channels of fuel-system related data to show that there had been a fuel system failure in Vettel's car.
This failure of fuel cell pressure meant the air pump in the fuel cell activated a maximum output which, by pumping air through the fuel cell, meant a significant amount of fuel was discharged from the car. It was this failure that meant only 0.3 litres of fuel could be extracted afterwards.
The FIA accepted that this evidence, which pointed to a malfunction of the fuel cell pressure relief value, was a new element.
However, in light of further investigations conducted by Aston Martin, it emerged that the team believes that there was actually less than one-litre of fuel remaining in the car at the end of the race due to the fuel system problem. Therefore, the FIA felt that the new evidence was not relevant to the case.
The key original stewards' decision was based on there not being the mandatory one-litre of fuel remaining, rather than dealing with any reasons why, which is exactly what Aston Martin's latest evidence supports.
An FIA statement said: "For the assessment of whether or not the one-litre requirement was broken, it does not make a difference why there was less than one litre.
"There may be a couple of explanations why at the end of a race the remaining amount is insufficient. In any case, it remains the sole responsibility of the Competitor to ensure that the car is in conformity with the regulations all times (Art. 3.2 FIA International Sporting Code) and it shall be no defence to claim that no performance advantage was obtained (Art 1.3.3 FIA International Sporting Code).
"In order to be able to affirm a "relevant" fact, Aston Martin would have had to present facts that actually more than one-litre of fuel was remaining. The explanation why this requirement could not be met is not relevant to the decision as to whether a breach of the regulations has occurred."
The FIA also did not accept references that Aston Martin made to teams complying with the purpose of regulations but not the strict wording by having exemptions when parts have been broken or lost in races.
It was on these grounds that the FIA rejected Aston Martin's request to review the matter.
Following the decision, Aston's CEO & Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer said: "Sebastian drove brilliantly in Hungary and we are pleased to have been given the opportunity to show significant new evidence that we discovered since the race.
"We felt that the evidence we presented was relevant and demonstrated to the FIA that he should have been reinstated following his disqualification.
"Unfortunately, the FIA took a different view and, despite the fact that that the accuracy of our new evidence was not contested, Sebastian's disqualification has been upheld on the basis that the new evidence was not deemed 'relevant'. That is disappointing, and we will now consider our position in respect of the full appeal process."

Texas has a dramatic history when it comes to voting. "Landslide Lyndon" Johnson, who went on to become America's 36th president, benefited from blatant fraud to win his first Senate race in 1948. Following a runoff against a popular former governor, Johnson's backers used recounts, corrections, and phony vote-shifting to hand him an 87-vote primary victory.
Today, it isn't so easy to simply fabricate thousands of votes. However, inaccurate voter registration rolls, brimming with the names of noncitizens, as well as those who have moved away or died, open the way to error and fraud. That threatens the integrity of the vote in Texas and elsewhere.
A review of the presidential votes cast in Texas in 2008, 2012, and 2016 by the data analysis firm Votistics found a disturbing number of duplicate registrations and multiple votes. This means that inaccurate voter rolls are not harmless, forgivable mistakes.
Polly Olsen was told by campus security last February that she couldn't hand out religious-themed Valentines to staff and students at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. Aided by the pro-bono legal services of the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, or WILL, she is now suing the school over free speech restrictions.
"I've been handing out Valentines since I was practically able to walk," Olsen said in a videoreleased by WILL. "My mom started handing out Valentines at nursing homes and the hospital. Since her passing, I've carried on her tradition of handing out the Valentines."
STATEWIDE (September 11, 2018) – During the upcoming severe weather State Fire Marshal Brian S. Geraci is reminding the Citizens of Maryland to take care in the use of portable generators. Many people use portable generators during power outages. The most common risks of using the generators are carbon monoxide poisoning, electrical shock, electrocution and fires.
Should President Trump need a model to use to track down leakers inside his administration like the "anonymous" insider who challenged his authority in a New York Times op-ed, he need go no further back than the Obama administration that prosecuted leakers and shutout the media.
According to reports at the time from even New York Times journalists, no administration was tougher on leakers and punishing to the media than Obama's, a saga reinforced by reporters who have called Trump's team more forthcoming.
Criticism of Obama's attacks on the media and leakers did not just come in tweets and TV appearances by journalists but in an official report from the Committee to Protect Journalists, authored by former Washington Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr.
"This is the most closed, control freak administration I've ever covered," said David E. Sanger, veteran chief Washington correspondent of The New York Times, in the report.
Safavi's rhetoric also comes on the heels of the arrest of two Iranians in the United States who were accused of plotting terror attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets.
The U.S. retail industry is flourishing, a rebuke to critics who just a few years ago predicted its demise, but looming threats such as President Trump's trade skirmishes may weigh on profits in 2019.
At least 25 of the top publicly-traded stores reported revenue growth for the most recent earnings period, according to a Washington Examiner review of the disclosures. Several, like footwear company DSW, Inc., posted double-digit gains.
Their success comes amid an economic boom — spurring low unemployment, high consumer sentiment and a slight increase in wages — that may be dampened by interest-rate increases from the Federal Reserve as well as Trump's levies on overseas imports and retaliation from trading partners.
On 9/11/18 at 1644 hours, Troopers from the Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack responded to 3323 Snow Hill Rd, Girdletree MD regarding an overturned Tractor Trailer /Hazardous Material Spill.
Initial investigation revealed that the tractor trailer was transporting a load of ten containers filled with 330 gallons each of liquid identified by a hazardous material placard as Sodium Hydroxide.
The tractor trailer was travelling Southbound on Snow Hill road when the operator believes the load may have shifted causing the tractor trailer to overturn, resulting in 4 of the10 barrels falling into a field and two reportedly spilling. There was also a Verizon telephone pole that was struck.
The Maryland Department of Environment responded along with the Maryland State Fire Marshalls Office and the Maryland State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division.
The Maryland State Police was assisted by WCSO, SHA, Girdletree and Snow Hill Fire Departments.
A safe perimeter was established and Haz Mat crews are currently working the scene. Investigation continues.
Road closure expected to be approximately 4 hours.
A top House Republican is calling for a review of communications between more FBI and Justice Department staffers after the revelation that ex-FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page exchanged text messages about a "media leak strategy" while Strzok was leading the bureau's Russia probe.
In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Monday, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., said he held "grave concerns regarding an apparent systemic culture of media leaking by high-ranking officials at the FBI and DOJ related to ongoing investigations" after another batch of texts between the pair were provided to Congress.

Kenneth Starr considered seeking an indictment against Hillary Clinton for perjury while he was investigating her husband, then-President Bill Clinton, the former independent counsel writes in his new memoir.
Starr eventually abandoned any thought of indicting the former First Lady even though he believed she was lying when testifying about the suicide of former White House advisor Vince Foster.
He recalled the Clintons making the statements during a deposition on January 22, 1995, according to the book, Contempt: A Memoir of the Clinton Investigation.
Both Bill and Hillary Clinton were asked questions under oath about Foster as well as the Whitewater land deal from their time in Arkansas, according to an excerpt of the book obtained by Fox News.
It is but a single line in a powerful address given by Abraham Lincoln to the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois in 1838. Just a small part of a speech that predated his iconic declaration that "a house divided against itself cannot stand" by some two decades. Entitled"The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions," Lincoln's entreaty came during a time both transformational and dangerously divisive in our young country's history. It should be contextually framed against the backdrop of the Nat Turner slave rebellion, a deep financial depression, the emergence of the Whig party, and the rise of the abolitionist movement.
This single, powerful, cautionary line succinctly sums up America in 2018: If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
Lincoln's warning spoke of common fears about a "transatlantic military giant," and "armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined," flush with unlimited resources, and with "a Bonaparte for a commander." No, he gently chided throughout the passage, America should not fear the outside invader and foreign actors wishing to do us harm. The danger to the Republic was here, in our midst, and right under our noses. It wasus.
The "house divided" line certainly became an iconic Lincolnism. But its lesser known corollary — that we are our own worst enemy and the author of our potential destruction as a nation — is what resonates for me, on this 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The majority of U.S. voters — 53 percent, say that the anonymous author of a recent New York Times op-ed bashing President Trump's leadership should have signed the editorial and "resigned in protest" according to a new American Barometer poll conducted by Hill.TV and the HarrisX polling company.
Another 47 percent said the mysterious official was right to remain unnamed, and continue to block Trump's actions.
"A majority of Republican respondents said the official did not handle the situation correctly, with 77 percent saying they should have signed the op-ed and stepped down in protest, while 23 percent of Republicans said the piece should have been published anonymously," the poll reported.
"Meanwhile, 64 percent of Democratic respondents said the op-ed should have been published anonymously, while 36 percent said the official should have signed the article and resigned," the survey found.
BALTIMORE —The family of a man with an intellectual disability who died while in custody three months ago is suing the State of Maryland. The medical examiner found he had ingested morphine and fentanyl.
Family members of Deniro Bellamy think those drugs were forced on him while he was in a holding cell and that there was a delay in getting him medical attention.
The family is suing for negligence, believing Bellamy's life could have been saved.
OVERLEA, Md. —A woman was shot late Thursday night in Overlea, Baltimore County police said.
Police were called at 10:38 p.m. to the 6900 block of Belair Road and Overlea Avenue, where a woman was shot while she was getting into her vehicle after leaving S&S Lounge.
The victim was identified as Tracey Elizabeth Carrington, 25, of Essex, police said. The shooter got out of a car and shot Carrington multiple times while she was opening a door to get into her car, police said.
"It was at that moment when the suspect approached her, began shooting at her and then fled the scene in a vehicle," Baltimore County police Officer Jennifer Peach said.
Assateague State Park will be closed from 11 a.m. on Wednesday, September 12th until 2 p.m. on Monday, September 17th, due to potential dangerous conditions associated with Hurricane Florence. The storm is forecast to produce damaging winds, significant storm surge, and flooding along the Atlantic Coast. All State Park facilities on the island will be closed and access to the park will be prohibited during this period. This closure may be extended if storm conditions persist, or if damages are significant. Park staff will assess any damage following the storm and the park will re-open when safe to do so. The tentative plan is to re-open the park on Monday, September 17, at 2 p.m. Updated information will be posted on the Assateague State Park website, Twitter page, and Maryland Park Service Facebook page.
We thank you for your understanding, and appreciate your well wishes for the park during this storm event.
Rod and I just firmly agreed, everything will go on as scheduled for the Bike Week 2018 festivity.
We will be placing our full liquor/beer orders as originally planned. We will keep ALL bands as originally scheduled.
Considering we will experience more vehicle traffic instead of motorcycle traffic, we have expanded our parking next door at the tee shirt shop and Hi Tide parking lots on Rt. 611, so there will be plenty of parking.
Win, lose or draw, we're going to have a FOUR day Party Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If we're the only bar open, so be it. Come join the fun and incredible entertainment. One band, (and there are many) that I'm really looking forward to and draws a massive crowd is LOUD LOVE. They are reuniting at Trader Lee's Saturday night. These guys are incredible. NO COVER CHARGE for all four days!
I will be putting up the full list of entertainment soon.
International leaders must recognize corruption as a key driver of conflict in hotspots around the globe, Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, argued Monday.
Haley, who holds the presidency of the Security Council for the month of September, convened a panel devoted to the the relationship between corruption and geopolitical instability. The session featured testimony from U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres and activist John Prendergast. But the anti-corruption panel proved controversial, marked by the recurring clash between Russia and the United States over the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- The U.S. Navy isn't taking any chances with Hurricane Florence.
The U.S. Fleet Forces command ordered all Navy ships in the Hampton Roads area to set Sortie Condition Alpha.
A few ships left Naval Station Norfolk on Monday and will continue to do so over the next couple of days.
Some ships will not get underway due to maintenance, but will take precautions to avoid potential damage.
The Navy base is also taking steps to prevent damage.
Crews with the operations department have been working non-stop since Friday, making more than 15,000 bags of sand.
"We started on Friday because we had to get 20,000 sand bags ready. I have a personnel of 35 doing that and they worked around the clock 24 hours up till today. We'll be doing this tomorrow," said Ricky Harris, who is the department head.
In the first major policy speech since his appointment, National Security Adviser John R. Bolton put some meat on the bones of President Trump's vaunted "America first" foreign policy, saying the U.S. was ready to sanction anyone cooperating with a global court's investigation of the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan and announcing that the Palestine Liberation Organization diplomatic office in Washington was no longer welcome.
A favorite of Washington's conservative establishment for his hawkish stance on thorny global issues, Mr. Bolton offered a robust and expansive defense of American sovereignty during an appearance at the Federalist Society, a conservative legal advocacy group.
His speech drew strong responses from supporters and critics.
He said the Hague-based International Criminal Court had no jurisdiction to investigate U.S. officials and soldiers for their actions in Afghanistan, including on charges of war crimes involving detainees that Mr. Bolton dismissed as baseless.
A Viewer Writes: Going to be funny when it ruins bike week for you Joe. Hope you got rain insurance.
While I'm sure most of you probably know who keeps attempting to put up the above anonymous comment, let me tell these people how smart we are and have been.
You see, we have yet to place our massive liquor/beer orders. We can cancel all bands based on the storm, should that become necessary.
Trader Lee's is in WEST Ocean City and not close on what will likely be a very flooded island. So IF town officials decide to shut down Bike Week, Trader Lee's will be the place to be/go for the tens of thousands of people who are already here. We will be open for business, we will have plenty of whatever we need and no matter what it will be business as usual, just a smaller crowd then expected.
So you see, (nay sayers) this isn't our first rodeo and we don't need rain insurance. The fact that the island of Ocean City has a history of massive flooding, they already have a major problem right now, (this week) from the last storm and high tide.
Unlike the Salisbury Festival, we are fully prepared for even the worst conditions. We will have Bike Week tee shirts available. We will have free TRUMP 2020 Flags available to the first 2,000 bikers. We will have a multitude of live bands performing Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
So regardless of what is decided for the island, come to Trader Lee's for the biggest Hurricane Party on the Shore.
A U.S. appellate court ruled Monday that Missouri can enforce a law that forces abortion clinics to meet ambulatory surgical center requirements and requires doctors performing abortions to get admitting privileges at local hospitals, despite a 2016 Supreme Court ruling striking down a similar Texas law.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit delivered the opinion striking down a ruling from a lower court that eliminated the Missouri law. Abortion rights groups pointed to the Monday ruling as evidence that abortion rights are under threat if Brett Kavanaugh reaches the Supreme Court, since the case could wind up there.
"Today's ruling should be a stark example of just how easily judges like Brett Kavanaugh can gut women's constitutional rights, ignoring the real barriers that these medically unnecessary place on women's access to abortion," said Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood said in a release that the ruling would shutter all but one abortion clinic in the state because others would not be able to meet the requirements.
OC BIKEFEST IS STILL ON!!!!
Due to the weather forecast, all activities and concerts have been relocated to the ocean city convention center. Concerts will be held indoors! Don't miss it!
We will have another update after 1:00 PM today.
House Republicans officially rolled out legislation Monday to make permanent the individual tax cuts that President Trump signed in December's major tax overhaul, setting up the possibility of a vote to cut taxes in coming weeks that the party can advertise in the midterm elections.
"The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changed the trajectory of our economy for the better," said House Ways and Means Committee chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, referring to the major tax overhaul Republicans enacted in December. "Now it's time to change the culture in Washington where we only do tax reform once a generation."
The legislation, dubbed "tax reform 2.0" by Republicans, would get rid of the 2025 phase-out of the provisions of the tax overhaul that relate to the individual side of the tax code. Those include the lower rates, the altered child tax credit, the special new tax break for businesses that file through the individual side, and much more.
Sen. Kamala Harris of California is being condemned for leading an attempt to smear Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh – this time with a deceptively edited video of a portion of his Senate confirmation hearings.
The case involved Priests for Life's lawsuit against the federal government over Obamacare's contraceptive mandate provision. The pro-life organization ultimately appealed the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, which upheld the Obama administration's "accommodation" for religious employers who objected to being forced by the government to provide free contraception, sterilization procedures, and abortion-inducing drugs to employees through health insurance plans.
OCEAN CITY — With another peak summer season in the books, resort officials are seeking information on how the enforcement of the smoking ordinance on the Boardwalk played out over the last few months along with some relief for some businesses in areas where smokers tend to congregate.
During Tuesday's Mayor and Council meeting, Police Commission chair Dennis Dare outlined the committee's agenda for next week's meeting. Some on the council asked Dare to include an update on the Boardwalk smoking enforcement. In 2015, Ocean City passed an ordinance banning smoking on the beach and Boardwalk except within 15 feet of designated smoking areas with the appropriate receptacles.
During the first couple of years with the new smoking ordinance, the focus was on outreach and education. Over the last year or so, however, the focus has changed to strict enforcement with fewer warnings and more citations issued.
Breitbart News reported that California ushered in 2018 with ammunition controls by mandating that residents only buy in-state ammunition, and requiring that those purchases be made from state-approved ammunition vendors.
January 1, 2019, will witness phase two of the ammunition controls by requiring that ammo purchases pass a point-of-sale background check for a box or bullets or shells. A fee will be required to cover the cost of the background check, thereby increasing the price paid for ammunition.
As with firearms, background checks for ammunition will lead to a database on ammunition purchasers.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (September 11, 2018) — Governor Larry Hogan has directed state agencies to work together to keep Marylanders safe and informed as Hurricane Florence continues to head towards the U.S. eastern seaboard. Large areas of Maryland have already experienced significant rainfall in the past few days, making the ground saturated with water and thus making this storm a serious threat to life and property.
Sen. Cory Booker is reportedly placing staffers in Iowa, further fueling speculation that the New Jersey Democrat is preparing to run for president in 2020.
Booker made headlines earlier this week when he challenged Republican senators to launch a motion to expel him from the chamber after publicly revealing emails related to the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court marked "committee confidential."
However it was later revealed that the documents were previously approved for release by the Senate Judiciary Panel, raising questions of whether Booker purposefully misled viewers of Kavanaugh's hearing. The episode led Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, to retort that chamber rules must be adhered to even if a lawmaker is running for president.
This is W.C . Holland Superintendent for Accomack County Public Schools. Due to the Governor's ordered mandatory evacuation, Today Tuesday September 11, through Friday September 14, all Accomack County Public Schools will be closed for all Students and Staff.

NEWARK – School assessment data released this week reveals that Worcester County students have again exceeded state averages.
School system officials announced Thursday that the latest PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) scores show that Worcester County once again leads the state in college and career readiness (CCR) in five of the assessments administered last year. Worcester leads the shore in CCR in nine assessments and ranks second in the shore in all other assessments.
Passengers who were traveling from Dubai to New York City (a group that amusingly included rapper Vanilla Ice) were quarantined for hours at JFK airport on Wednesday amid reports that more than 100 people aboard the plane reported feeling ill. In the end, 11 people were sent to an area hospital for testing. Of those, two tested positive for a particularly infectious type of influenza A virus, and one of the two was gravely ill with pneumonia. A third person tested positive for a cold virus, according to Channel News Asia.
On Thursday, two flights arriving in Philadelphia from Europe were screened by medical teams after 12 passengers reported flu-like symptoms. One of them had visited Mecca for the Hajj.

I don't think there are any good reasons not to vaccinate your kids but I guess someone could make an argument for not allowing the government to require you to do so. The problem is that vaccination only works so long as a high percentage of kids are vaccinated ("herd immunity"). If not, the disease could spread and potentially even infect some kids who have been vaccinated as well as those who haven't. Most people survive this disease but it is serious and can result in hospitalization or death. So long as parents are sending their kids to public schools, they have an interest in making sure those schools are safe.

Chacham Rav Ovadia Yosef's Eighth Yahrzeit Commemorated Virtually
By Susie Garber
Chacham Rav Ovadia Yosef zt"l was the former Sefardi Chief Rabbi of Israel and one of the foremost Talmudic authorities of his generation. On Motza'ei Shabbos, October 9, Chazaq, Stories to Inspire, and the Queens Jewish Link hosted a beautiful virtual commemoration on the occasion of the Rav's eighth yahrzeit, which was 3 Cheshvan.
Chacham Rav David Yosef shlita, son of Rav Ovadia Yosef, spoke first. He shared that Noach saved himself, but he didn't save anyone else. The Midrash teaches that Hashem told Noach that if he had shed one tear before the Mabul, He wouldn't have brought it. During the 120 years that Noach was building the teivah, he was trying to make baalei t'shuvah. However, he couldn't make baalei t'shuvah because he was cold and didn't show people that he cared about them. We have to care about our brothers and all of klal Yisrael. He shared that his father loved to study Torah. He traveled from place to place by bus, teaching Torah, because he knew that this was the way to bring Torah to people, and he loved them. He said, "Hashem wants me to give my life to bring people to Torah."
Rav David shared that they are trying to continue his father's mission. He noted how Chazaq has brought more than 1,000 children from public school to yeshivah. "This is the way to continue my father's work – to bring their souls to help them remain Jewish. Everyone has to follow the way of my father, and the main way is to bring Jews to Torah and mitzvos."
Next, Rabbi Uri Lati, well-known speaker, shared that every Sefardi's dream is to be like Rav Ovadia Yosef. "His wisdom was surpassed only by his love for every Jew." Rav Ovadia would share stories and spread Torah. "He was a walking sefer Torah. He was the Moshe Rabbeinu of our time." He devoted his days and nights to Torah study. "Don't ever lose faith in your students. He never lost patience. He always invested in everybody and always taught Torah to everybody." Rabbi Lati shared that we know that, if we invest in something dear to us, it will come with siyata diShmaya.
Next, Rabbi Ilan Meirov, Director of Chazaq, spoke about Rav Ovadia Yosef's m'siras nefesh. He loved every person and he encouraged parents to send their children to yeshivah. We live in a generation where people look to kill some time. Chacham Yosef excelled in the idea that time is life. Every moment passes and you are not getting it back. He taught everyone to appreciate every moment of life. "Do something constructive. Do something productive. Get involved in a mitzvah. Spend time with your family. Go to a shiur. Don't kill time!"
Rabbi Meirov noted that Rav Noach Weinberg zt"l used to ask students how much money they would give him for their last month, their last week, their last day. No one would trade money for that, and so if that is how we think of our last day or week, then why are we giving it up for nothing, spending time on things that are meaningless? "Why not spend time with learning Torah, doing mitzvos, and being with family? Chacham Yosef took account of every moment of life. Every free moment he took out a sefer to learn. "Think over and do personal introspection on how you are dealing with your day. See how much time you can spend learning. Everyone should do this on his own level and see how he can increase his learning." Spend time learning on Shabbos. "Don't kill your time. This is the lesson of Rav Ovadia Yosef zt"l. Take your time seriously."
Following this, Rabbi Yaakov Mizrahi, well-known speaker, stated, "If we knew what we lost, we wouldn't stop mourning." Why did Hashem place a window in the ark? The answer is because Hashem told Noach not to forget to look outside of your daled amos. If you see that someone else needs help or chizuk, stretch out a hand to him. How many Jews would like to come hear a shiur or meet a new rabbi. They are waiting for chizuk and they are drowning in a mabul. "Whoever is able to stop someone from sinning and doesn't, then he gets punished as well." As B'nei Yisrael, we are responsible for every Jew. "Rabbeinu was a walking sefer Torah. You saw him and you would see life." People went into his shul to see the shine of his face. Their simchah was his simchah and their pain was his pain. He went from city to city by bus teaching Torah. He spent sleepless nights trying to be matir agunos. He took the responsibility on his shoulders. He would cry for them.
He had 25,000 s'farim in his personal study, and inside his books were notes on the margins or letters. Rabbi Meirov then shared the copy of one beautiful letter from Rabbi Belsky that was found in one of Rav Ovadia Yosef's s'farim. The letter shared that Rav Belsky thanked the Rav for visiting Yeshiva Torah Vodaath and for his beautiful words that gave them a lot of strength to continue in this holy project of the Yeshiva and to make it stronger and to make it greater. Rav Yosef was a Sefardi rabbi connected to everyone in am Yisrael. "When Hashem sees you care about His children, you get more siyata from Hashem."
We have to learn not only for ourselves but to teach to give to others. We have to love am Yisrael. We have to pray for others and expand our horizons and realize that there is a lot more we can do.
Then, Rabbi Yosef Palacci, Rabbi of Derech Emet Torah Center in Brooklyn, shared that Rav Ovadia Yosef breathed Torah. He lived for Torah. "If you don't have Torah in your life, then what is life?" Hashem gave us a powerful soul from the Kisei HaKavod. He gave us a powerful neshamah, because we have a big mission. Let's not get influenced by the culture of the goyim. We should be the best soldiers for Hashem that we can be.
The last two g'dolim, Rav Zamir Cohen and Maran Yitzchak Yosef spoke in Hebrew.

The Number You Have Dialed Is No Longer in Service
Homeowners are often shocked to discover that the roofing company that installed their new roof or repaired their old one is out of business
by Jim Cory | November 09, 2017
Photo: Pixabay.com
Here's a simple fact that you might want to cite in your sales presentation to homeowners who are thinking about replacing the roof: "Since roofing is a "high-turnover" business, the majority of roofing contractors are out of business within five years." The source is the FAQ section of GAF's website. The FAQ page is there to provide some clarity to homeowners on the subject of roofing warranties and to educate them on the various types of manufacturer warranties they can buy (in addition to the roofing job) when their contractor is installing a roof using GAF products.
According to the same FAQ, two-thirds of warranty claims in roofing involve faulty installation. Which begs the question: If a roofing job is defective such that it requires service, and that is usually the fault of the installing contractor, what does the customer do when he or she calls that contractor's office about a problem with a new (or recent) roof and the number is no longer in service?
GAF's answer is to spend more money on one of the warranty upgrades it offers. The most well known is called the "Golden Pledge Ltd. Warranty." Purchased exclusively through a GAF-trained contractor (one who belongs to the manufacturer's Master Elite contractor group), the Golden Pledge Ltd. Warranty is good for 50 years on products and 25 years on workmanship. As the FAQ states, that means: "Whether or not your contractor remains in business, GAF will sAstand behind his workmanship for 25 years!"
Who to Trust
Most homeowners don't know that the manufacturer's warranty on product and the roofer's warranty on installation (workmanship) are separate. Roofing companies that truly stand behind their work will no doubt point this out in the sales process, but roofing customers are often a little stressed out during those meetings and stress makes for its own kind of amnesia. In fact, warranties are a marketing and selling tool, reassuring the nervous homeowner that if, God forbid, something goes wrong with that new roof, there'll be someone to fix it. Since that's probably going to be the installing contractor, that's who you'd call, right? But not if he's out of business.
Is the GAF claim accurate? Do most roofing companies go out of business within five years?
Not exactly, but the roofing manufacturer is not that far off the mark. Citing a US Census Bureau study measuring failure rates of construction businesses with payrolls, The Harvard Joint Center on Housing Studies reports that between 2007 and 2012, 39 percent of residential roofers went out of business.
That said, the Master Elite roofers who belong to GAF's program are probably not going out of business anytime soon. They're the "top 3 percent" of residential roofers, according to BRC Roofing and Construction, in Jacksonville, Fla. As the company webite explains to visitors, to belong to GAF's Master Elite dealer program and be eligible to offer the Golden Pledge Ltd. Warranty, a contractor has to have proper licensing and insurance, a proven local reputation, and a commitment to ongoing training. "We can proudly say that our 22-plus years of service to residents of Jacksonville and nearby areas can speak [for] itself."
Homeowner, It's on You
But homeowners looking for assurance that service work on warranty will be performed for the life of the roof are still left scratching their heads. Why is the manufacturer offering a warranty that the contractor normally offers? What if I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for an additional warranty? Is it asking too much for a contractor to guarantee the quality of his company's work?
No, that's not an unreasonable expectation. In fact there are plenty of companies that are not members of the Master Elite program who do great work and back it up with serious workmanship warranties of ten years or more. You'll find them in every market. They just happen to install a different manufacturer's shingle.
But don't expect that you're going to stumble on them as a matter of course. Homeowners in need of a roofer who does consistently excellent work backed by not just manufacturer's warranties—worthless if installation isn't to spec—but their own ironclad guarantee, should expect to do some serious research. Reviews will tell you a lot, as will company longevity. Because while, yes, the failure rate of residential roofing companies is high, it's also the case that there are companies in most markets who've been in the business for decades, even for two or more generations.
As Josh Garshkof points out in Money ("5 Things to Know Before You Replace Your Roof"), "Some roofers don't worry much about customer satisfaction since replacing a roof is a once-every-few-decades job, which means they don't have to count on repeat business. Plus, many homeowners (mistakenly) choose their roofer based largely on price, and many roofing contractors hire low-wage workers so they can deliver the lowest possible bids. All of which is to say: You need to be extremely careful whom you hire."
How do you know a company's going to be there if you have a workmanship warranty issue? The best predictor would be longevity in the market, with all the brand assets (a company-owned office and showroom, a fleet of trucks, specialty equipment, solid reputation) to go along with it.
"It's a good idea to get references for the roofing company and investigate its history and length of time in business," advises a blog at the website of Roofing Southwest in Phoenix ("Contractor Warranty Vs. Manufacturer Warranty").
"It's not unheard of for a shady roofing company to offer a warranty but refuse to honor it, or to suddenly go out of business or leave town—as storm chasing contractors often do. Look for a company that has a solid and long-established reputation in your community and check to make sure they honor their promises." Don't be shy about calling past customers. Most of the time people are happy to talk about contractors who worked for them, for better or worse.
The one flaw in this commonsense advice is that a new roof is rarely a discretionary purchase. The homeowner is calling the roofer because there's a problem. Often homeowners are calling in panic mode. They're too stressed to consider doing research that might help avoid an issue down the road.
If They're Out of Business
If the roofer a homeowner calls for service is out of business, most often the homeowner is out of luck. "The contractor's guarantee or workmanship warranty covers deficiencies occurring from installation in the roofing system," notes a blog on the website of P&A Roofing and Sheet Metal, in Orlando ("Warranty & Bonds"). "A contractor's guarantee is only as good as the contractor supporting it. If a contractor goes out of business, a guarantee will no longer be active."
On the other hand, if the company has simply been sold or changed its name, and the warranty information is included in the contract, the homeowner would be perfectly within his or her rights in requesting service work on the workmanship warranty. If ownership passes, the new owner is still responsible for honoring warranties.
That's what Beverly Tarbell found out ("Will long warranty help if company goes belly up?" ABC7 News). She called Sierra Spray Foam Roofing with a serious leak and the contractor the company sent to fix it told her that the whole job was failing apart. When she called Sierra Spray Foam again, they wanted $3,000 for additional work. She told them she had a 15-year warranty and expected them to honor it. At which point the company—operating with new owners and under different state licenses—stopped taking her calls. But as Rick Lopes from the California Contractors State License Board told ABC 7 News, "companies remain responsible for construction warranties even if they change hands … So, if they made these commitments, they are then required by law to uphold them. If they don't, then the contractors board can take action against the license." And when Tarbell called a local TV station and reporters—and videographers—went to visit, the roof was quickly fixed under warranty.
But who wants to go through all that? The homeowner who signed a contract in the heat of the moment or who thought he or she got a great deal on that roof because the price was so low may find out that buying a roof is not the time to go cheap.

People are calling for The Pogues' popular Christmas song "Fairytale of New York" to be censored due to its use of the word "fa---t."
It is claimed the word is homophobic and people should stop singing it.
However, others claim the word was originally used to mean a lazy person.
A student newspaper editor has called for the word "fa---t" to be censored from The Pogues' popular song "Fairytale of New York" over claims it is offensive.
Tom Haynes, the assistant editor of The Tab, shared his opinion about the classic Christmas song in an article titled: "Dear straight people, stop singing the word 'fa---t' in 'Fairytale of New York'" - which has since divided people on social media.
According to Haynes, the line in question, sung by Kirsty MacColl, "you scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy fa---t," is homophobic — but despite being censored on some stations, including the BBC and MTV channels, continues to be sung by "straight people" when it comes on.
"Only when you take a step back does something seem off with that picture in 2018," Haynes wrote.
He also points out that, despite being repurposed by the gay community, the slur can "evoke very specific memories of being bullied either online or in real life" and is comparable to the n-word.
Haynes concludes by suggesting that people simply skip the word when singing the 1987 song — which has faced lyrical controversy numerous times in the years since it was released.
"That's all — one word, two syllables. Not too much of a stretch, right?" he wrote.
The response to Haynes' critique of the beloved Christmas song has been varied — with some disagreeing and labelling the editor a "snowflake" millennial, and others recognising that he has a point.
According to some people on social media, who have defended the use of the word in the song, fa---t has a different meaning in old Irish slang.
"I won't be refraining from singing the lyric 'cheap, lousy fa---t' in 'Fairytale of New York' because it's not in reference to any homophobic intent — in old Irish fa---t simply means a lazy person," one person wrote.
Another said: "Snowflakes left, right, and centre saying 'Fairytale of New York' is homophobic when in reality the cheap lousy fa---t line is in reference to laziness."
However, others agreed with Haynes' opinion and the suggestion that the word should be omitted from the song — including RTÉ DJ Eoghan McDermott, who recently brought up the debate on Twitter after he announced he agreed the song should be censored.
According to McDermott, he made the decision after asking two gay members of his team how they feel about the song — with both agreeing the use of the word is inappropriate.
"One favours censoring, the other outright not playing it. Neither like it. Simples," McDermott tweeted. "The fact this song is a classic isn't a strong enough defence to not at least censor it. We censor s---, f---, a--, weed, and loads of other comparatively benign words in songs. It's not a big ask."
And others pointed out that, despite a different meaning, the word may still be considered offensive.
"I honestly cannot see the obsession with straight people needing to be allowed to say fa---t in 'Fairytale of New York'? Is it a power thing? If you feel oppressed not being allowed to say it, imagine how it feels being on the receiving end of it," one person said.
Another tweeted: "As someone who got called a lot of names in the 90's at school, fa---t did not mean lazy. And the Pogues were British-Irish, gigging in London. In 'Fairytale of New York,' the idea that fa---t wasn't abusive is a transparent attempt to rewrite history."


Inside a slot canyon are endless surreal rock formations that make up a rich geology. The Upper and Lower Antelope located near Page in Arizona are two of the most spectacular ones to be found within this Colorado Plateau area. Shaped by erosion and the movement of tectonic plates, these extraordinary labyrinths twist and turn through the red slot canyons.
The interplay of shadows and light over the water scarred walls help to turn photographs into wonderful abstracts. There are many open slot areas, where at the right time of day, the sun shines down vertically producing a light trail as it lights up the slot floor area. Water that gushes through these walls flows into Lake Powell, which feeds the Colorado River a short distance away.
Lower Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon located on Navajo land close to Lake Powell and the town of Page in Arizona. There is also a second and more visited Upper Antelope Canyon a few miles away. Both are susceptible to flash flooding in the monsoon season and can be completely flooded with little prior warning.
Lower Antelope Canyon, (or "spiral rock arches" as the Navajo describe them), attracts more photographers due to the special 'photographer tours' on offer, and also draws larger numbers of casual sightseers than in Upper.
The small village is a popular holiday resort in this remote part of the west of Ireland. At the busy harbour local fishermen ply their trade and deliver the day's catch, which includes a mix of Crab, Lobster, Shrimp, Mackerel and Cod plus a wide variety of other fish. Local restaurants also serve a seafood chowder, a favourite dish of the region.
Roundstone is renowned among artists, photographers and naturalists for the amazing beauty of the surrounding mountains and seascapes.
This is 'Quiet Man' country in the west of Ireland, where the fields are small and the rocky outcrops are immense. Centuries of working the land by generations of farmers has created tiny pockets of green where sheep wander and graze within the man-made stone wall boundaries.
Glendalough means 'Valley of two lakes'. It's a glacial valley which is renowned for an Early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by the monk, St Kevin.
The 30 metre tower is built of mica-slate interspersed with granite and with an entrance 3.5 metres from the base, which would have helped in its security from marauders. Round towers were landmarks for approaching visitors, and built as bell towers, but also served as places of refuge in times of attack.
The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone is a true wonder of the world. From above it show its breathtakingly beautiful and unbelievable colours made up of a multitude of bacterial mats. This view is taken looking across the outer area of the spring. In the background is the hill that keen photographers and naturalists climb to get a sort of aerial view of this extraordinary place.
In a mild weather country like Ireland, winter scenes such as this are rare. The Nenagh River rises in the Silvermine Mountains and flows east of the local town of Nenagh and into Lough Derg on the river Shannon. A once-grand country house can be seen in the left of the picture. In the last century its roof had to be removed in order to avoid paying high Irish land taxes.
The term Connemara refers to the northern area of County Galway to the west of Lough Corrib. This photo was taken in Cashel Bay not far from the popular village of Roundstone on the southern coastline which overlooks the Aran Islands in Galway Bay.
In Irish, the Burren means "great rock". It's a region in County Clare on the West coast of the country, dominated by karst landscape and measures an area of around 250 square kilometres.
Having an unusually temperate climate which allows for a longer growing season and an unusual environment, the region supports a rich and diverse plant life which includes arctic, alpine and Mediterranean plants all growing side-by-side. The most famous is the gorgeous deep blue Spring Gentian which flowers around May time.
The Burren is an area of outstanding natural beauty on the West coast of Ireland. It is dominated by an extraordinary karst landscape and covers an area of about 250 square kilometres. The gentle, rolling hills are composed of limestone pavements, which are made up of criss-cross cracks known as "grikes", leaving the isolated rocks which are called "clints".
The region supports arctic, Mediterranean and alpine plants alongside each other due to the most unusual environment, and about three quarters of Ireland's flower species are found in The Burren.
Bunratty is a 15th-century tower house in County Clare, Ireland. located near to Shannon airport on the Limerick to Ennis main road. Shannon Heritage operates the castle and adjoining folk park as tourist attractions, as well as offering medieval banquet experiences in this ancient castle.
The name Bunratty, Bun Raite in Irish, means "river basin" of the 'Ratty' river. This small river flows alongside the castle and into the nearby Shannon estuary.
The water buffalo were crossing the river adjacent to the magnificent and ornate South Entrance of Angkor Thom.
This image came about whilst visiting the temples at Angkor Wat when a tuk tuk* with Buddist monks inside drove past me at speed. I was only able to get a glance of the action as I swung around with my camera, thus the motion blurry effect. I felt the picture conveyed exactly what I saw and experienced – a flash of wonderful orange!
*tuk tuk – In Cambodia, two different types of vehicles are called tuk-tuks, one has four wheels and is composed of a motorcycle (which leans), the other a trailer (which doesn't).
Buddist monks waiting to watch the sun set over the Angkor Wat temple complex from a high vantage point. Along with hundreds of visitors daily who climb to this elevated temple these monks have joined the throng having spent most of the day moving around between the other temples.
They can be seen in another image riding in a tuk tuk at speed!

Xcelience to Expand Headquarter Operations in Tampa
Tampa, FL -- Florida's Governor Rick Scott announced the expansion of Xcelience, an international contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) servicing the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Xcelience will expand product development services and manufacturing operations in Tampa, creating 100 new jobs and retaining another 100 jobs. Xcelience will also invest $9 million in the region as part of the expansion.
Governor Scott said, "We are proud to announce that Xcelience is adding 100 new jobs in Florida because we know that every new job helps a family in our state. We are glad that Xcelience has continued to invest and expand in Florida, and it is announcements like this that are helping our state become the global destination for jobs."
Xcelience will increase capacity in their manufacturing facilities with a 6,000 square foot expansion at their 5415 W. Laurel Street location. In addition, Xcelience will expand its pharmaceutical development labs in a new 71,000 square foot headquarters at 4910 Savarese Circle in Tampa to support future company growth. The positions will include staff for pharmaceutical development, manufacturing, quality assurance and packaging.
"Tampa is a great place to build a base of scientific capabilities," said Derek Hennecke, President & CEO of Xcelience. "The warm climate attracts a stable workforce, and the government at all levels is eager to help us grow and prosper. Our location puts us just a mile from the airport, making it easy for out of state clients to find us. Exciting things are coming down the pipeline for Tampa, for Xcelience, and the exciting new medical treatments we are developing with our clients."
Xcelience provides preformulation, formulation development, analytical services, GMP manufacturing, small-scale commercial manufacturing, and global clinical supplies packaging and logistics to help companies move a drug into clinical trials. The company continues to be recognized as a leader in the industry and will be receiving six Leadership Awards at next week's Life Science Leader CMO Award Reception in New York.
"Hillsborough County offers the workforce talent, lifestyle, and culture of innovation that global companies like Xcelience need to thrive," said the Hon. Sandy Murman, Chair of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners. "We are committed to supporting their growth and appreciate their investment in our community."
"Xcelience's expansion of their global headquarters here is a testament to Tampa as a top life sciences and manufacturing destination," said City of Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn. "The word is out about our city as a great place for science and technology professionals to live, work and play – and that excitement is driving the growth of key innovation sectors."
Florida's manufacturing sector ranks among the top 10 nationally with more than 18,200 companies employing some 317,000 people statewide. In 2014 the sales tax on manufacturing equipment was temporarily eliminated, and this year Governor Scott is working with the Florida Legislature to permanently eliminate it. Also, Florida has established itself as a premier location for life science clusters, and is home to world-renowned biomedical research institutes and nearly 1,000 biotech, pharmaceutical and medical device companies.
Secretary of Commerce and Enterprise Florida President & CEO Bill Johnson said, "Today we celebrate Xcelience's expansion in the state of Florida, and applaud their creation of 100 new jobs. Florida has become a well-known destination for both manufacturing and life sciences companies, and Florida's pro-business climate will allow the state to become even more competitive."
This project was made possible by the close partnerships between Enterprise Florida, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, CareerSource Florida and the Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corporation.
Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Executive Director Jesse Panuccio said, "Xcelience's expansion is another positive chapter in Tampa's economic turnaround the last few years. The Scott administration will continue to support pro-growth policies that help the manufacturing and biotech sectors thrive in Florida. Successes such as these move us closer to our goal of making Florida the best state in which to live, learn, pursue a career, and start or grow a business."

I have multiple filters to be applied on fullcalendar events.
Filter one is 'Status' and filter two is 'NAME'.
When I apply 'Status' filter using the logic in eventrender the month view shows only the selected 'Status' events, when I am trying to apply second filter 'NAME' with some other logic block in eventrender, it considers all events in month view irrespective of first 'Status' filter result.
The reason for this is as I wrote code in eventrender for first 'Status' filter as, if the status of any event does not matches with my selected 'Status', I just returned false, so I did not apply any hiding or removing of event from the calendar, might be this is the reason the fullcalendar considers all events are valid for subsequent filtering.
Please suggest.

A: I think this is what you are aiming for. You can test it best by selecting School 2, and then changing between College 1 and 2 (and All) and observing which events are shown and hidden.
Your problem was the "current_action" variable, which was causing only one filter to run at a time. The other if statements inside eventRender were also a problem because they would also stop the indexOf query (which contains the "all" option") from returning a useful result.
Once you've simplified it by removing all that noise, you can just combine the results of both the indexOf queries, and only display events which meet both conditions (i.e. they meet the criteria set by both the dropdowns).

Coach Jim McGuirk began his coaching career for the Red & Grey as an Assistant Coach for the Boy's basketball program from 1971–1979, but his transition to the Girl's Track programs in 1979 became magical. His Cross Country, Indoor Track and Outdoor Track Teams were regarded from 1979–2000 as one of the premier programs in eastern Massachusetts.
Jim's overall winning percentage of .647 in twenty-one years includes 286 wins, which has had a lasting effect in the girls' sports programs at Lowell High School. He coached three individuals and ten relay teams to Eastern Mass championships. His teams have won eight MVC Championships, Northern Area Championships in Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track, the culmination coming with the Eastern Mass Class A State Championships and the Class A State Relays Championship in 1987.
During his tenure, Coach McGuirk was well-respected by his peers as well as his athletes. Jim was named The Lowell Sun Cross Country Coach of the year two times, Indoor Coach of the Year six times, and received the Division I Eastern Massachusetts Girls Spring 1987 Track Coach of the Year. He has coached over twenty-five individuals who have competed at the collegiate level and fifteen athletes who are members of the Lowell High School Hall of Fame. Coach McGuirk most importantly, is an advocate of girls' sports that is evident by his record and the closeness he has maintained with his former athletes.
Jim's individual career as an athlete began in (1962–64) as a member of the Red & Grey Basketball team in the tough Greater Boston League, coached by Henry Lisien and LHS Hall of Famer Leo Parent. He truly blossomed under the tutelage of Coach Frank Georges at Lowell State College (1965–1969). As a member of one of the finest basketball teams in school history, his accomplishments are many. Jim ranked in the top fifty scorers nationally (1968–1969) for small colleges. His 1128 career points are 5th in school history. He scored 43 points vs. Keene State, and his 18 field goals in the same game also equaled a school record. Jim averaged 23.2 points per game during his senior year. For all of those accomplishments, Jim was inducted into the University of Massachusetts at Lowell Hall of Fame in 1980.
Coach McGuirk continues to remain active in retirement being a Massachusetts Track and Field official, Co-Director of the Amy E. Lekites Memorial Scholarship Fund, and a founding member of the Lowell High School Hall of Fame.
