Police arrest bus driver, his aide over death of Northern University student
Nadia, who was a passenger on her friend's motorcycle, died after a bus hit the two-wheeler near Jamuna Future Park
Senior Correspondentbdnews24.com
Police have arrested a bus driver and his assistant in connection with the death of a university student near Dhaka's Jamuna Future Park on Pragati Sarani.
The men were taken into custody on Monday following several raids across the capital, said Deputy Commissioner Md Abdul Ahad of Dhaka Metropolitan Police's Gulshan division.
The arrestees have been identified as Md Liton, 38, and Abul Khayer, 22.
The victim, 24-year-old Nadia, was a first-year pharmacy student at Northern University.
Nadia, who was a passenger on her friend Mehedi Hasan's motorcycle, was crushed under the front wheels of a bus after it hit the two-wheeler around 1 pm on Sunday, according to Bhatara Police Station Inspector Rafiqul Haque.
Nadia was subsequently rushed to a nearby hospital where the on-duty doctor declared her dead.
Mehedi survived the crash and was questioned by police. Police later seized the 'Victor Paribahan' bus.
Following the crash, students blocked the Kalshi road for an hour and a half in protest on Sunday.
Ahad said that a case has been filed on the incident under the Road Transport Act.

Artist Shepard Fairey has shared a video featuring Robert Plant's song "New World," from his new album, Carry Fire, and images by Fairey and fellow artist Ernesto Yerena inspired by photographs by Aaron Huey.
"Every day our senses are assaulted by the ridiculous," writes Plant. "It's not so long ago that today's plots and wrangles between nation governments would seem too far-fetched to inspire a Hollywood blockbuster. The perversions and struggles leave a shadow over the spirit of the people and the land. It's not an original sin. Every era bears the burden of chaos and warmongering. Time immemorial.


Here are the details on how to install LSMW onto a mini Basis system, and hopefully avoid any heartache.
I did this so that I could understand how to use SXDA with LSMW.
The mini Basis system used was 4.6D from the book ABAP Objects. My operating system is XP home.
There are no guarantees on this and it is not endorsed by SAP.
To install LSMW on mini basis you need a little luck, patience and to read the documents that SAP supply. 'LSMW180_HowTo_e.doc' from www.service.sap.com/lsmw, OSS note 449270 from www.service.sap.com/notes, and two documents from the kernel disc, 'mini_doc.htm' and 'mbs_patch1.zipreadme.txt'.
The first thing we need to do is set up mini basis to have a transport system. This is as per 'mini_doc.htm'.
* Log on as user DDIC.
* Call transaction SE38 and execute program MR3_TMS_CONFIG. You should respond NO to the popup if you have already created any transports.
* Using the editor <MBS_DIR>sappad.exe change the profile <MBS_DIR>MBS_D00.pfl.
Configure one background process by setting the parameter rdisp/wp_no_btc = 1. An alternative is to use transaction RZ10, import the profiles, go:- Utilities -> Import profiles -> Of active servers. Then update the profile MBS_D00, extended maintenance.
* Restart the SAP system MBS.
* Execute program RDDNEWPP (transaction SE38), which schedules the background job RDDIMPDP.
We now need to correct the errors that the transport system has.
* Go to transaction STMS to correct the transport configuration. Go:- Overview -> Systems, then select the MBS line and view it (SAP system -> display). On the TRANSPORT TOOL tab change the entry for TRANSDIR to the physical path on your system e.g. C:MBStrans. Save and return one level then go to:- Extras -> Distribute TMS configuration. (For some reason without this change the tp command cannot find the right directory). You could try '..' or '..'.
* Using the editor <MBS_DIR>sappad.exe change the profile <MBS_DIR>DEFAULT.pfl. Add the message server host rdisp/msserv = sapmsMBS. This fixes the errors when importing a transport. Read OSS note 449270 for more details. Again you could use transaction RZ10.
Now download the appropriate version of LSMW, 'LSMW180.car' from www.service.sap.com/lsmw to your computer. Now we follow the instructions from the document 'LSMW180_HowTo_e.doc' but these are for a Unix operating system so we work out how to translate them by reading the 'mbs_patch1.zipreadme.txt' document.
One of the commands that we will need is the 'CAR' command. To get this copy the file 'E:R3SETUPSAPCAR.exe' from your kernel disc to your MBS directory.
* Start up mini basis and logon as DDIC. Check that RDDIMPDP is released, System  services  Jobs  Job overview (enter '*' in the :"start after event" field). If not execute the program RDDNEWPP.
* Run the command to set the database environment.
The whole import step took about 45-60 minutes.
and save it as 'LSMW.cmd'. When the import step has competed we distribute the authorisation profiles by running this command.
Now go to transaction SU01 and add the appropriate authorisations for DDIC and BCUSER etc. Log off and log back on for them to take effect. YOU'RE DONE!

the Long CodeChef contest is quite a nice format. However, I'm not sure about how difficult the long contest problems are. The last time I checked (quite a while ago) they were increasing in difficulty quite rapidly.
Immediate feedback is also really nice when you are beginning. However, don't let this get you into bad habits such as not testing your code thoroughly on your own. Everyone at TopCoder learns that skill. I did, and I appreciate it to date.
CodeChef is also a growing platform, whereas I think TopCoder SRMs is a dying platform. I owe a lot of what I have learnt to TopCoder, but it is what it is.
On a side note, you'll find this list of tutorials curated from across the web helpful regardless of whether or not you are a beginner. Also, the problems in the practice sets - easy, medium and hard - all have hint-by-hint solutions. Hints are much better than complete solutions when you get stuck because you still need to think to solve the rest of the problem, and you more intuitively understand which exact part of the solution was beyond your reach.


The William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation will soon become a separate nonprofit organization headquartered in Jackson after being located on the University of Mississippi's campus for nearly two decades.
The Institute will take on an increased advocacy role, and the move to the state capital will allow it to work with the new Mississippi Civil Rights and Mississippi History museums. The decision was made by the Winter Institute's Board of Directors.
Following the Winter Institute's move, UM will connect and coordinate its activities in research, education and engagement around the issues of civility and race relations under the leadership of vice chancellor for diversity and community engagement Katrina Caldwell.
The Institute facilitates several programs including The Welcome Table, Summer Youth Institute and the Mississippi Truth Project. The Institute also promotes scholarly research and teaching on race and the impacts of racism.
UM chancellor Jeffrey Vitter said the university supports the Institute's move and is committed to continuing its work in modeling civil discourse and enhancing race relations.
The Winter Institute began on the university's campus in 1999, two years after President Bill Clinton's One America: The President's Initiative on Race prompted the university to foster more engagement with the topic of racial reconciliation. Former Governor William Winter, for whom the Institute is named, was on Clinton's One America advisory board and arranged for one of the initiative's public forums to be held at UM.
Winter, who still serves as the Winter Institute board of directors chairman emeritus, said the Institute's move to Jackson is a step into the future, but it will always maintain a connection to its roots.

SUGARCREEK AMISH MYSTERIES
Christmastime has come to Sugarcreek, but the sleepy Ohio town is anything but calm. Cheryl Cooper expected a quiet holiday season, filled with new friends and new traditions. Instead, Lance Martin, her ex-fiancé shows up and proposes again! Then, one of her aunt's heirlooms turns up missing, followed by the disappearance of the engagement ring Lance intended for her. When the Millers' estranged daughter Sarah leaves her Englisch husband and returns home, Cheryl find herself wondering what more could happen to spoil her Christmas cheer?
A lot, evidently. The town is turned upside down as it discovers there's a thief in their midst. But when fingers are pointed at Levi Miller, Cheryl doesn't want to believe her friend might be guilty. Can she find the real criminal in time to bring back the joy of her first Christmas in Sugarcreek?
O' Little Town of Sugarcreek is #5 in the series.
Funny things are happening out at the Yoder dairy farm. Small time vandalism, missing milk, even a stolen cow or two. Since he is Naomi's neighbor, she and Cheryl are naturally concerned, but when Yoder is arrested for selling raw milk, the pair know that they need to step in and help.
Their prime suspect is the dairy farmer who lives across the road from Yoder. They have always been in competition with each other. Everyone says that Yoder's milk tastes better, and the neighbor is jealous of Yoder's superior product.
But as they search for the truth to get Yoder out of jail, other suspects begin to surface. The vegan environmentalist who has come to town protesting so many cows in one place, the new owner of the farm-to-table restaurant who is circling a petition to support the sale of raw milk, and the English girl whose brother was severely injured ten years ago in an accident involving Yoder.
She is quickly dismissed as a suspect since witnesses describe the culprit as an Amish man about the size and build of Yoder. Soon after the environmentalist and restaurant owner are cleared, Cheryl and Naomi turn their efforts toward uncovering the neighbor's guilt. Deciding to stake out the Yoder farm, they discover someone setting fire to the barn. In chasing down the suspect they discover that the imposter is the English sister. She hated the fact her brother didn't have a life after the accident. She wanted to take Yoder's life from him, not in the literal sense, but in the figurative. If she got him in enough trouble, he would have to go to prison and he would essentially be as trapped in the jail cell as her brother had been in his own body.
She is taken to jail and all goes back to normal around Sugarcreek. For a while.
Shoo, Fly, Shoo is number 12 in the series
Stranger things are happening in Sugarcreek. Pigs running in the street, a barn fire, and loss of electricity at the Swiss Miss. Unfortunately many of the town folk are blaming the new family in town, the Patels. The Patels just want to run their food truck and settle into their new community. But prejudice and "accidents" abound as Naomi and Cheryl try and figure out where all these strange happenings are coming from. Before someone really gets hurt!

20.1 Printing with movable type
In the second half of the 6th century , Italy was invaded by the Lombards, a Germanic population from Pannonia, where they had been settled for over a century and had partially converted to Arian Christianity. After some decades they first occupied northern Italy across the Friuli, and established their capital in Pavia. They then occupied part of peninsular Italy, leaving the Byzantines (that is, to the sovereigns of what remained of the Roman Empire) control of only some coastal areas, the Exarchate of Ravenna, the Pentapolis, Lazio and the south. The Lombards had a different conduct from that of other populations foederati within the empire, and the initial phase of the conquest was characterized by a very harsh government, which did not preserve the preexisting administrative structure, but rather dismantled it entirely. The structure of the Lombard power was founded on military leaders (dukes) who elected or submitted to a king, whose power, however, left them plenty of autonomy. During the reigns of Authari and then of Agilulf and his wife Theodelinda, between the 6th and7th centuries, the political situation became less chaotic and relations with the local population and with the Roman culture became more cooperative, favored also by a partial pacification with the papacy of Gregory the Great and from a gradual acceptance of Roman Christianity, which will come to perfection in the middle of the 7th century.
Italy was the region that the Latin tradition had penetrated the most deeply and where the graphic landscape was most diversified and the manifestations of writing the most numerous. Here the phenomenon of early medieval graphic differentiation, which produced different writings in the different "national" areas corresponding to the divisions of the Roman Empire, occasioned two very different situations.
Manuscripts in early medieval scripts of central-northern Italy
Manuscripts in Beneventan script
In the regions of northern and central Italy (occupied by the Lombards), there was no "national" writing to represent the region, whereas in the regions of southern Italy (where, alongside the two Lombard duchies of Spoleto and Benevento, the Byzantine presence was of great consequence in the duchy of Naples, in Puglia, Calabria and Sicily) a new writing developed, called Beneventan.

Tuer - Journey Back
Tuer
Journey Back
Travis William Tuer aka TUER has been making music for most of his life. At the ripe age of seven he was playing piano and by eleven he was playing the trombone. When he grew up he became headband director and in 2012 created Jazz Trombone Workshop.
Tuer also happened to release an album called Journey Back. He wanted to create a Christian album that is far different from what is normally heard. After spending some time with Journey Back I'd say he definitely succeeded when it comes to the music and was less successful when it comes to the lyrics.
Let's start wit the lyrics. Simply stated if you aren't into the whole Jesus thing and a devout Christian then it is harder to get behind what is being sung about. Almost all of the lyrics deal with either Jesus's love for you, forgiveness, how he died on the cross for you, guidance, etc. Topically the album treads on the same subject most Christian albums deal with.
The music is at its best when it's upbeat and lively. Take for instance the opener "You Are" which is funky, fun and light. It's a catchy tune and the horns are integral to the song. The horns end up being a very important part to many of these songs. The Bossa Nova and Satana vibe on "Come Unto Me" also works quite well. It's certainly isn't a style you associate with Christian albums.
The slower more melancholy songs don't work as well and can come off as saccharine. "Lamentation" is one of the shorter songs on the album but it feels like it lasts a long time. The horns are a big plus on this song. "Jesus Loves" has some more fantastic horns and actually has a bit of a jam band feel.
Journey Back will resonate with most people who already have faith in Jesus and are sick of the typical grandiose rock schtick. If you happen to fall into this camp this album is a no brainer.

Q: How to catch 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get' in a comprehensive list I want to scrape urls from a website. I am using beautifulsoup4.
The structure I am trying to scrape is like this:
HTML Structure
The code I am using is this:
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, "html.parser")
all_urls = [x.p.a.get('href') for x in soup.findAll("div", class_="b-accordion__text")]

When I run the script I receive the following error:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

This is probably due to the fact that some of the divs are empty and contain no p/a and therefor the get  function is called on a none existing object.
 <div class="b-accordion__text">
</div>

When I try to add an if expression like:
all_urls = [x.p.a.get('href') for x in soup.findAll("div", class_="b-accordion__text") if x.p.a]

I then receive the error that a not exists:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'a'

Due to the fact that I am super new to Python I do not know how to handle this error. I would have expected a warning that some of the elements did not have a p/a and the script would still run through. But it aborts.
Question: How to handle/catch that error for div tags that are empty?

A: I haven't tested the code but you can add a condition in your list comprehension as follows:
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, "html.parser")
all_urls = [x.p.a.get('href') for x in soup.findAll("div", class_="b-accordion__text") if not x.p.a is None]

More generally, to test for a specific attribute, you can use the hasattr built-in function.

A: Adding a double if statement in the comprehensive list to check wether it has a "p" and a "a" attribute solved the issue:
all_urls = [x.p.a.get('href') for x in soup.findAll("div", class_="b-accordion__text") if x.p and x.p.a]

Will Tyler Ennis choose Syracuse Hoops on Thursday? : Sports : CNYcentral.com
Highly touted 2013 basketball recruit Tyler Ennis is making his big decision on Thursday as to which school he will be attending. Ennis, of Toronto, Ontario, is one of the top rated recruits in the 2013 class and, according to SNY's sports blogger Adam Zagoria, has Syracuse as a front runner for his choice. Ennis is also considering Illinois, Louisville, Memphis and UCLA.
Brandon Triche judges the toughest coach: His dad or Jim Boeheim | syracuse.com
"Right now, probably my dad (is the tougher coach)," Brandon Triche said. "But this year, it's probably going to be even. Because more is going to be expected of me by Boeheim. So if the team's energy is low, it's probably going to be my fault. I'm going to be the one to blame or the one to pick the team up. So my name is going to be in his mouth a lot. He's going to be screaming for me to do better. It's the same thing for my dad -- he just makes me go a little bit harder. I'm going to rebel a little bit and be stubborn. But I'm going to listen and do what he says."

Waiter's workout punctuated his words.

Wearing Syracuse-hued Nike Zoom Kobe VI's – "hungry" on the left tongue, "humble" on the right – Dion shared the court with a friend, Niagara forward Scooter Gillette.

Most of Afghanistan is currently experiencing a 60 percent drop in the rain and snowfall needed for food production. The rapid expansion of Kabul's population, extreme drought conditions across the country, and the spectre of climate change have exacerbated the need for new water infrastructure. But building it is politically complicated; the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region is defined by its complex maze of trans-boundary rivers and there is no legal framework in place to avoid major conflict between the nations.
It's no surprise, then, that in the Chahar Asiab district of Kabul, on a tributary of the Kabul River, the Maidan, work is scheduled to begin soon on the Shahtoot Dam. The dam will hold 146 million cubic meters of potable water for 2 million Kabul residents and irrigate 4,000 hectares of land. It will also provide drinking water for a new city on the outskirts of Kabul called Deh Sabz. Afghanistan is finally, after decades of devastating wars, in a position to begin to develop its economy and electricity from hydro-power.
But this ambitious development is fuelling fears downstream in Pakistan that the new dam will alter the flow of the Kabul River and reduce the water flows into Pakistan that could severely limit the country's future access to water. The Pakistani media outlet Dawn has reported that there could be a 16 to 17 percent drop in water flow after the completion of the Shahtoot Dam and other planned dams.
Beyond reducing water flow to Pakistan, the Shahtoot Dam has a unique capacity to escalate tensions in the region thanks to its funding from India.India has made major investments in Afghanistan's infrastructure in recent years—from highway construction to repair of government buildings and dams damaged by conflict.
Since 2001, India has pledged about $2 billion total in development projects in Afghanistan. And while Afghan analysts have made the case that the dam is critical to surviving future water shortages in Afghanistan, Pakistani officials in Islamabad are casting India's investment in a harsher light, contending that the dam is merely the latest move in India's grand plan to strangle Pakistan's limited water supply. Because Pakistan has failed to build enough hydropower infrastructure at home, some Pakistanis fear it might have to buy electricity from Afghanistan in the future.
Water shortages are often the underlying catalysts for war. Lack of water leads to food shortages, price increases, and famine—all of which can cause instability and conflict. Recent conflicts in Syria and Yemengrew out of destabilising water shortages that, along with other factors, led to all-out war. A similar dispute has been brewing between Egypt and Ethiopia as Egypt fears Ethiopia's Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Damwill reduce its share of the Nile River's flow.
Afghanistan's president, Ashraf Ghani, has made it clear that improving water availability via dams is a top national priority, and it's not hard to see why: Afghanistan's wells are drying up. A 2017 study by Afghan, German, and Finnish universities stresses that Afghanistan desperately needs better water infrastructure and water management.
The city of Kabul was only built to support 1 million people, but in 2018 it is rapidly expanding toward a population of 5 million. Most Kabul residents currently depend on groundwater sources, which are depleting rapidly in part due to thousands of unregulated wells. The Shahtoot Dam could provide desperately needed clean drinking water and would irrigate thousands of acres of land in a country where 85 percent of people rely on agriculture for their livelihoods.
investment in Afghan dams, as the Kabul River's water flows into Pakistan could be cut or severely limited by the storage dams, greatly increasing tensions in a region that is already on edge. It is not just one dam that is alarming for Pakistan. India has assisted Afghanistan with studies on the feasibility of a total of 12 dams to be built on the Kabul River, which could generate 1,177 megawatts of power and further reduce water flow into Pakistan.
That's a threat to a country like Pakistan, which is highly dependent on agriculture. A World Resources Institute report states that Pakistan could become the most water-stressed nation in the region by 2040, before accounting for the potential of reduced water flow from the Kabul River.

Like I told you in the previous episode of RHOC, Due Diligence November could have wrecked the relationship.
Instead, it brought us closer together, because it made us realize that we're even more alike than we thought.
I only had and only needed one source to do my due diligence, one that I knew would both be totally honest with me and probably not snitch on me that I was asking about her behind her back. That source being her father.
One day during the first whole business week of this month, I made an arrangement to have something of a power lunch with him. We at first planned to do it at his favorite lunch time deli, but the morning before, he called me to tell me that there was a change of plans, and we had to do it in his office. Getting to his office requires taking an elevator almost all the way up to the top of a certain pretty tall building in town, and that should tell you a lot by itself. You can also figure that his office has a sweet view of The Cathedral City and beyond from well on high, and that it does. High enough that I looked south and knew what and where to look, and I could see Schloss Drachenburg in Königswinter (close to Bonn) way off on the horizon, and of course the taller structures in Bonn itself. Looking north, likewise Düsseldorf. And the Rhine River and its water making its way from south to north through and between those three major cities and several lesser known ones. I could see a really important slice of Germany just standing there and turning my neck, though that's not hard when you have to pack a lot of people into not that much space. Anyway, I figured having it in his office was going to be a better option than being in the open public at some restaurant, because of the sensitive nature of the subject matter.
Here's the thing about the g/f, who I will identify by the first letter of her first name only, K. She's a solid 7 in the face, and rather but not dangerously overweight. Very nice proportions for those, and that. She's got her own job, and ambitions, and career track, and a pretty high ceiling therein. We'd already talked about our previous difficulties with the opposite sex, and I know we're both difficult personalities and hard people to love. Not to mention her fear of winding up with a soyboy like her brother-in-law. But even counting all that, she's a catch, and it's not like if every guy in this region or in western Germany who is of comparable age to her is a wuss.
You would think that there would have been at least one worthy guy around these parts who would have snapped her up by now.
"Okay, so what's the matter with her? What's the catch?"
The last medium termer I had back in St. Louis, spring 2017, turned out to be using me for side dick. To make a long story short, when I first got suspicious that I was being so used, (what caused me to be suspicious is that she was too enthralled with me, in ways that none of my previous g/fs ever were), the next time we, well, did, I recorded it without her knowledge. I put out an APB on St. Louis C/L, which indirectly put me in contact with her husband, so my hunch turned out to be right on, and and then I arranged a meeting with him to show him the evidence, and give the thumb drive to him. I was prepared for the worst, but he wasn't mad at me at all, more like happy that I was honest enough to search him out to tell him after being astute enough to get suspicious to begin with. After that, I have no idea whether they divorced or patched things up, but I do know for sure that I dodged her, made up one excuse after another to why I couldn't see her, until she gave up, and now that I remember, it wasn't until a bit more than a month before That Day that I got the last contact I ever got from her.
You'll thus understand my once bitten twice shy mentality.
So here's where my mind was running with K.:
(1) She's already married, and cheating on her husband with me
(2) She has been married and divorced and has one or more kids that she's hiding from me, waiting to rope me in then pop the surprise
(3) She, with her ambitious self, bats for the home team, (ambitious women tend to be lesbians), and is using me as cover
With as much time as I've spent at her place, I've seen no evidence of any one of these things. But I'm also old enough to know that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. And I also know, if K. was scamming me in this kind of way for one of these reasons or some other one, she obviously knows that I'm at her place a lot, of course at her open invitation, I even have a key, so she'd be clever enough to cover her tracks and hide the evidence.
On the other hand, you all know her sister wishes she could have me, (hence the very existence of RHOC), so she would surely have told me by now if anything was wrong with K., in order to try to peel me off. If she didn't do that by this time, then it was highly unlikely that any of that or anything damning could be true.
But I still wanted it from the horse's mouth.
Once we started the power lunch, I explained to him about how serious things are getting between myself and his daughter, and then nearly all of what you just read. Then I asked him point blank about these three things, and a few others.
He looked me Dead Eye Dan in the eyes.
Absolutely not, to any of these things, or anything else even remotely similar. He also honestly answered my other questions — That kind of stuff I can't state publicly, so as not to give either one of us away.
And that's all I needed.
Best of all, he didn't seem angry at all at my asking, even though it was that personal. In fact, he seemed rather relieved that I was even doing this kind of due diligence. Maybe his relief had more to do with the fact that it meant that his not-getting-any-younger older daughter and some guy worth a damn are that serious.
That said, since I was getting so personal with him about his daughter, I anticipated, and was ready for, him to do his own due diligence, and interrogate me and turn my guts inside out. Which he did, and I honestly answered all.
This by itself could have set off a chain reaction that ended up wrecking our relationship, but thankfully, it didn't.
But I still had some work to do.
I told you I went to her father because I figured on a man not blabbing and snitching. Yet and still, I had to anticipate on the chessboard and be prepared for the possibility that he would tell on me. His daughter, and all that. Men are generally good at keeping secrets, but not so good when those secrets involve their daughters.
So I made it easy for K. to do her due diligence on me.
I "accidentally" left an address phone number handwritten book in her apartment that just so happened to have the quasi-uncle's phone number back in Waterloo, Illinois, readily and easily prominent. (Really, who under the age of 50 has a handwritten or physical-printed personal address-phone book these days?)
A week and a half after my power lunch with her father, ring a ding goes my phone. Guess who.
He usually e-mails me if it's not really important, or texts me if it's somewhat important, because he knows my international calls and texts cost me. So for him to call me must have meant it was really important or really bad news, and of course I answered the call.
Damned if she didn't take the bait.
Turns out K. had the same suspicions about me that I had about her, almost down to the letter, all three of them. That I was cheating on an incumbent wife back in America with her, that I've already been married and divorced but am hiding kids from her, that I'm gay but using her for a beard. She, too, thought that by now, some chick would have let me snap her up, and of course, she was suspicious that that had already happened.
He told her the absolute God's honest truth, that none of that was true.
While I was pleased about why she made the call, and what she asked him, which indicated that she's just as seriously invested in this relationship as I am, such that she actively did her due diligence on me just as I did on her, the more critically important thing was that she even made the call at all. Which meant is that from that moment, I had leverage against her if her father ever dropped the dime on me and told her about our power lunch. If it made her mad initially, she couldn't stay mad at me for going behind her back to find out about her, if she did the same to me. The very word that went through my mind as I ended the call with him was: Checkmate.
Ironically, I suck at chess.
Whew, that was a relief.
But, not so fast.
I still couldn't shake the feeling that she was hiding something from me.
How could I be so sure?
Because I knew I was hiding something from her.
It all came to a head last night.
I finally worked up the courage and resolved myself to ask her point blank last night.
But as it turned out, just before the moment I resolved to do that, she did it to me first.
Which means she herself was still wondering about me just like I was wondering about her. It's just that she slightly beat me to the punch in terms of working up the courage to pull the trigger.
"Good, we're finally going to get this off our chests," was my thought, and probably also hers, at that precise moment. I also knew that there was about a five'll-getchya-ten chance that the relationship was within an hour of ending. But it couldn't go on like this.
The reason she was still wondering about me turned out to be the same reason I was still wondering about her. Because she was hiding something from me just as much as I was hiding something from her.
First, we both came clean about all of what we did behind each others' backs during the month, including the wherefores and whys.
That was a risky enough subtext by itself, and in fact, the whole progression of the power lunch and the planted address book, not to mention me openly admitting it to her, was predicated on the fact that I played the kind of positioning and bargaining games in dating that Americans do, but Germans don't. The German attitude about these kinds of games range from insouciance to disgust. I asked her point blank about her reaction to what I had just confessed. If it actually did bother her at all, she took it in her stride, and instead came off with an open reaction of that she understands the cross-cultural differences. Maybe on one level she liked the new experience of some guy playing games with her; I'm the first American and in fact first non-German she's ever dated, and like I wrote above, Germans themselves don't do this, so this is obviously her first time of experiencing American-style dating gamesmanship. On top of that, she saw my Machiavellian personality shine through transparently for the first time.
After that, we agreed to let loose of our final secrets by means of writing them on paper, then trading papers, and then openly comparing the papers.
You'll never guess:
Same damned thing.
Then we spilled our guts about said "same damned thing," and our reasoning for hiding it from each other? Too easy by now: Just about the same reasons and rationale.
It's all perfectly innocuous and understandable, as you're about to find out.
Since I let her go first, I'll do her part first.
Her father doesn't have it like that like that, and he doesn't have it like that. But he's got it, a lot of it, (Remember that high-up office?), and has had it for some time, quite enough in terms of numbers and time to have set both of his daughters up with really soft fluffy pillows under their high wires of life, which they weren't allowed to access until they started working their first real adult self-sustaining day-to-day employment. Both of those "really soft fluffy pillows" are sleeping safe and sound in Zürich.
Cut to the chase: She has been chronically scared about some man falling in love with her money instead of her. Especially since "her money" is meant as an emergency stash in case she's ever "between jobs" or some such. It's not meant to live off of for the rest of her life. That's what I mean metaphorically by "really soft fluffy pillow" — It wasn't meant to be a permanent hammock.
Complicating matters with her is that her sister also has the same kind of "really soft fluffy pillow," and the soyboy-in-law has no idea that his wife is sitting on top of that kind of nest egg. (And my writing it here won't mean he ever finds out; If you've seen this blog's traffic stats, you'll know why). In fact, I'm the first non-related person to be let in on this secret. The soyboy-in-law is already in the go slow zone when it comes to being gainfully employed; In fact, the better word to describe his employment habits is "menial" rather than "gainful." If he ever found out, he would never do a lick of work for the rest of his life, opting for an existence of poaching his wife's nest egg down to non-existence while giving his thumbs some powerful daily workouts.
You may be thinking here that I can now use this as leverage against her sister's treachery. I have decided against ever doing that, to the point of openly coming to an agreement with K. that this tactic is forever off the table for either one of us, because pulling that card could very well start a chain reaction that wrecks the whole family. We'll find other ways to mitigate her sister.
K., worried that she would end up with a husband like her soyboy-in-law, had the double worry about such a man finding out about her nest egg. Now you see why she was so nervous?
As an aside, I don't consider her doing that to be the same kind of gamesmanship that I engaged in and just discussed.
Now for my part.
You may remember that, after Oktoberfest and the Bavarian state elections during October of last year, I made three stops before heading back to Cologne from Munich. First was Hechingen, to see Hohenzollern Castle, my favorite German castle thus far, the second was the clock route in the southern Black Forest, to pick out a cuckoo clock for my mother and have it shipped to her, and the third was Basel.
You think I was in Basel just to add another stamp to my passport and to do sightseeing?
Yeah, there was all that.
But I also had the remainder of my insurance settlement money moved to a newly minted Swiss bank account and converted to CHF.
It, too, is my big soft fluffy pillow under my high wire of life, and then some, and then some. The difference is that the purpose of it is that if my recovery suddenly goes left and I can't work, I'll have something to live on.
Why did I hide it from K. for so long?
Because I wanted her to fall in love with me, not my money.
Neither one of us have to worry about that kind of thing any longer. Turns out we both came with our own bags of money.
I already knew we were comparably yoked in terms of ambition and income. Now I know we're also comparably yoked in terms of assets.
After we both spilled all, we laughed until we cried.
Then we realized how we are even more alike than we thought. We're so much alike that we both take it as a point of personal pride that I am way more Machiavellian than she. (I'll give you a minute to think it through.)
Like I wrote above, what could have easily ruined us instead brought us even closer together.
I also now know that I can confide in her father, because I know for sure that he never told K. about our power lunch.
However, I now also know that, during our power lunch, he never told me about her money. Best to let the sleeping dog lie, so I won't ever ask, but I think he didn't tell me about her money then for one of two reasons: Either it never occurred to him, or he hid it from me for the same reasons she did.
November for us was like an O. Henry short story.
During the month, we had our first amicable domestic disagreement and differences. I'm not going to call it a fight, because it wasn't. And it wasn't so much a "domestic" agreement as it was a professional disagreement manifested in a domestic setting. But it was our first real wake-up call that, as alike as we are, we're not total carbon copies, ("No E-Girls, Ever!" — Nick F.), and that we'll have our share of give and take. I can't say publicly what it was about, because I'd be exposing both of us if I did. However, it was the kind of thing where it was pretty easy for both of us to empathize with and understand the other's position. If you're going to disagree, that's the best kind of disagreement to have.
I've also been doing my due diligence when it comes to cars this month. I'll tell you more about that after I've made my final decision and closed the deal. I'll just sneak peek it now and say that I started out with seven serious candidates within the relevant range of the intersection of practicality, affordability, desirability and politics. Plus an eighth test drive of a car way above my price range, for grins and giggles and a little bit of fun. As of this writing, I have narrowed it down to the final two. All of my test drives except for one have come with K. riding shotgun, because I still won't be able to drive on my own for another 16 days, though it's not like I've been counting down or anything. The one exception? Well, I'll save it for then.
Sixteen days until Freiheitstag. I'm so close I can just taste it.
In a personal note, I'll have Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow with other Americans at a special undisclosed place here in The Region just as I did last year, and then I'll have a short trip over the weekend, to Braunschweig, indicated on most English language maps as Brunswick. During the vacation, we went through Braunschweig, and among other things, I learned that that stuff in the United States called Braunschweiger really isn't. "Braunschweiger" sold in America is actually liverwurst or liver sausage (look at the label), while true Braunschweigerwurst is a off-color pork sausage that you can serve well either hot or in cold cuts.
However, my purpose for going to Braunschweig has nothing to do with Braunschweigerwurst, even though I will have some while I'm there. Hinting to the previous section, VW did something one week ago relating to my impending business in Braunschweig that would have made me decide not to buy a VW, if I already had not come to that decision for other reasons.

Alright Dan (08:27:18) :
I never figured you for being this devious.
I remember O. Henry. He wrote that story about some husband hocking his watch to buy his wife a gift for her hair, and the wife cut her hair off and sold it to buy her husband a gift that related to his watch.
Bon (16:20:51) :
WoW, QD. That's quite a complicated love life you're living right there. Hope it all works out for you.
rather but not dangerously overweight
I believe the proper term is "softig." Has a nice ring to it doesn't it? – and is far better than "fat" or "overweight."
Even a shout out to Nick F. Nice.
Hope you find a nice Cuckoo clock, mine is very old and I inherited it – not sure if it works or not, I remember it as a very small child.
Anyway. Hope all else is well!
Just search "Real Housewives of Cologne" for the previous two entries for the rest of the back story, at least what I've been able to say in public. I think I've already told you in private about how we met, what she does for a living.
I bought the clock October of last year and had it shipped to my mother for her 80th birthday present, even if it was rather early. I figured time was of the essence, and my hunch was right, because her condition is getting worse.
So sorry to hear this QD – there were two recent deaths in our family and therefore two empty spots at the Thanksgiving table – but that's life, right? Taking the good with the bad.
We had a wonderful time anyway.
And, sounds like there is a lot of good in your life right now! So happy for you, you deserve to be happy.

Q: Get InlineImage in Specific Tables from Google Document I encountered the following problem. I have a Google Document, that contains a bunch of table objects and some of those tables contain inline images themselves.
With the Body.getImages() function I should be able to get the images of the whole document (right?). But is there any way to get the images from a specific table or is there a way to determine in which tables the images retrieved by the Body.getImages() method are located?
In case you are wondering what this is used for: My Google Doc is used to store several multiple-choice exam questions, where each question is represented by a table. I am trying to write a script to export these questions to a specific format and I encountered the problem that some of those questions contain images.

A: Correct - body.getImages() will return an array of images.
We can use this array of images to find the corresponding table's for each image. If we use a recursive function on each image, we can getParent() up the document tree until the Parent Table to a particular image is found, then we list the element number (the ChildIndex) for the Table. If there is a "Question #" header in the table, we can search for it and return the question number of the located Table.
    function myFunction() {
      var doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
      var body = doc.getBody();
      var tables = body.getTables();
      var images = doc.getBody().getImages();

      Logger.log("Found " + images.length + " images");
      Logger.log("Found " + tables.length + " tables");

      //list body element #'s for each tables
      let tableList = []
      tables.forEach(table => tableList.push(String(table.getParent().getChildIndex(table))))
      Logger.log("Tables at body element #s: ", tableList);

      function findQuestionNumber (element, index) {
        parent = element.getParent()
        //IF found the parent Table
        if (parent.getType() == DocumentApp.ElementType.TABLE) {
          //Find the question # from the Table
          let range = parent.findText("Question")
          //Output where this image was found. (The childindex)
          Logger.log("found Image", String(index + 1), "in ", range.getElement().getParent().getText(), " at body element #", String(parent.getParent().getChildIndex(parent)));
          return
          //use recursion to continue up the tree until the parent Table is found
        } else {
          findQuestionNumber(parent, index)
        }
      }

      //Run Function for each image in getImages() Array
      images.forEach((element, index) => findQuestionNumber(element, index));

    }

A: Unfortunately there are errors. Here it is:

11:11:16 PM Notice  Execution started
11:11:16 PM Info    Found 26 images
11:11:16 PM Info    Found 1 tables

On The Cutting Edge
Toronto's Desh Pardesh Festival has a unique and genuine voice
This article was published in the June, 1995, issue of India Currents Magazine.
Despite the technical blunders, a screeching microphone and uncertain lighting, California's pioneering Indian-American writer Kartar Dhillon launched this year's Desh Pardesh festival with great warmth and hominess. Her simple and soft feminist tales were a gradual introduction to a creative event that would feature works for whom such adjectives might even be considered insulting.
In its fifth year in Toronto, Desh Pardesh (sometimes translated as "home away from home") claims to be an "intra-national festival/conference exploring the politics of South Asian cultures in the West." It is well-regarded for providing a venue for the most marginalized of South Asian artists –feminists, homosexuals and purveyors of the working-class creed. It is a forum for all manner of art: poetry, literature, film, theatre, dance, photography and music –all free from the cultural baggage that tends to accompany Indian arts festivals: the compelled humility, religious and familial themes.
"We are unique," says departing Desh executive director Steve Pereira, "in that we bridge the activist world –people who are involved with social justice issues– with the world of art." The festival glories in its role as a haven for activist movements, offering workshops in such topics as sexual assault prevention, lesbian flirtation techniques, trends in immigration laws, AIDS activism, ecological denigration and the role of politicized art in the milieu of general South Asian culture.
Desh is particularly relevant this year because it marks the 150th anniversary of Indian presence in the Caribbean (and hence the West), the 10th anniversary of the Air India explosion, and the first anniversary of free South African elections. Day 2 of the festival was accordingly devoted to Indo-Caribbean content, featuring Guyanese-Trinidadian music proceeding under the name "Nagara Into Chutney". It is on this day that Desh's brightest theatrical light is seen: Errol Sitahal's dramatization of a scene from Samuel Selvon's novel "A Brighter Sun." Sitahal movingly captures the tragedy of the indentured service system while giving the character of Sookdeo a rare and tangible human dimension.
Another story that was touched upon by a number of performers –from poets to film-makers– was the tragedy of the Kogamata Maru. It was on this vessel in 1914 that a shipload of Sikhs was turned away from Vancouver harbour to face death on the seas. These pieces would herald a subetheral anti-colonial sentiment that would make its presence felt throughout the festival.
Indeed, at times a resentment of Western racism and British imperialism would become undisguised anti-white hatred. Odissi dancer Ananya Chaterjea would present a simply stunning interpretation of the Raj's prostitution of Indian dancers; poet Raj Pannu would pronounce her disappointment with those with "insufficient skin melanin"; and members of the All India Collective theatre group would declare shamelessly –and somewhat naively– that George Bush had wanted to control Indian women's bodies.
The espousal of such unabashed extremism culminates on the closing night with a reading by local poet whose work is entitled "Trying Hard Not To Hate White People."
But such scapegoating aside, Desh was a wonderful cabaret of hidden talents. Phinder Dulai, a gifted poet and chronicler of the Kogamata Maru saga, reveals to us that "when you're brown-skinned and speak of your disenfranchisement, you're politically correct; when you're white [and do the same thing], you're cool." Sadhu Binning, a simple and humble man, presents remarkably accessible verses as touching as many of Longfellow's soft salvos. Krisantha Sri Bhaggiyadatta, another local writer, delivered an effortless and unrehearsed performance that was part literary reading and part stand-up comedy. And bhangra musicians Dhamak provided a suitably loud and rhythmic close to the four-day affair.
But by far the most engaging and memorable of Desh's offerings this year was a reading by poet Rajinder Pal whose amiable and accessible delivery evoked impressions of such realism that the audience was compelled to cling to his every word. He was able to elicit in many listeners ancestral memories of the India we've never seen.
The quality of the presented works was variable, of course, but the power of Desh lay in its unique and genuine voice. There was little of the self-serving pretense that usually pollutes such events, only the grateful strains of participants thrilled to have been allowed expression. In response to racist attacks on his children, one poet realized that he had "a choice between the gun and the pen (but not the computer)". For him, it is clear, Desh was much more than another line on his C.V.
And despite the occasional anonymous caller who would complain bitterly about the representation of South Asian culture by a largely homosexual contingent, Desh Pardesh continues to grow, and promises to be an even grander affair this time next year.

Transforming Presence is a big mission to 'transform and be transformed' - transforming the Church for the transformation of the world.
As a diocese we all have a part to play in God's transforming mission of love to the world through our parishes, schools, chaplaincies, fresh expressions and every disciple of Christ.
Each community in East London and Essex has an Anglican church. Each church is being transformed by receiving the good news of Christ and living it out. The same good news is transforming each community.
To help make it happen we brought out a booklet called Transforming Presence about the four strategic priorities involving all our teams and we trained nearly 5,700 people at 19 training events.
Support has come from a conference of a thousand people in 2012, our synod (or church regional parliament), our three area bishops and seven archdeacons, our 24 area deans and lay chairs and the organisers of an estimated 327 mission events in our centenary year 2014.
A surge of activity has taken place since Transforming Presence was launched in 2012. You can find out more in Priorities & Progress.
Major milestones have been our Conference in 2015, Unwrapping God's Gift in 2016, the School for Disciples and Refresh in 2017, and [Re]source in 2018.
Growing new Christian communities is becoming a central part of Evangelising Effectively.

If you were to die right now, are you 100% sure that you would go to Heaven?
If you will be honest with yourself, you know that you have done something that is contrary to the laws of God. Each of us has lied or done something to break the laws of God. We are all sinners. Did you know that there is a penalty or a price on your sin which must be paid?
"And all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Revelation 21:8 Everyone knows that a wage is what we earn for doing a job. God says that we earn a wage or a penalty for our sin. This is death in Hell. Because we are sinners, we deserve to go to Hell forever to pay for our sins which we have committed. God does not want us to go to Hell to pay for our sins. He gives us a choice. Read on and see how.
3. God says Christ paid for our sins.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8 God loves us very much! In fact, He loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for us. When Jesus died on the cross, He took upon Himself every sin that you and I would ever commit. Sin that would have to be paid for by punishment in Hell forever. When they nailed Jesus to the cross, the blood that came from Him cleansed our sin. When He died on the cross He paid our price for sin, which is death. They buried Jesus, but He arose from the dead. He conquered death and sin! Many know about the death of Jesus on the cross but have failed to make it personal by accepting Jesus Christ as their Saviour from death in Hell.
4. God Says, "We must accept the free gift of eternal life through Christ to go to Heaven."
Do you admit that you are a sinner?
Do you admit that because of your sins you deserve to go to Hell?
Do you realize that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and that on the third day He arose victorious over death and sin?
Do you realize that Jesus wants to give you eternal life in Heaven if you are simply willing to call on Him and trust in Him as your Saviour?
Since Jesus would be willing to take just like you are, would you not be willing to receive Jesus as your Saviour right now? Praying does not take anyone to Heaven, but receiving Jesus Christ as your Saviour gives you eternal life in Heaven.
"Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. If I died today, I would go to Hell. I know that you died for me on the cross and shed your blood for my sins. Please save me from Hell. I am trusting only in you as my Saviour. Thank you for saving me from Hell. Amen."
If you prayed and received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, or if you need more information, just contact us at the Breakwater Baptist Church.

Living with the Kings
Good morning in Many, many Languages.
Monday Riddle!
※ What makes your hand shake when you try to lift it?
[MONDAY]
(Day 105 of 2019)
Cebu Day 4, because today there are Classes at QQ English,
the morning atmosphere is completely different from the weekend, outside there are teachers and students chatting...
Until the edition time in the afternoon, there was no time to take a class, because… I was writing in the room…
Although the scenery seen from the window is a Resort,
no matter which country we're in, I'm usually confined indoors
Beginning of Monday, only with different scenery and air...
What are you doing... ? (LOL)
Editing work from afternoon to late night today,
making everything from camera, drone and editing,
Mr. Jones and the remaining three members...
Tomorrow since the morning, to the actual shooting,
Then, to editing again... but I'm too sunburned,
burnt face... bright red...
[TUESDAY]
Cebu, Day 5, the weather is hot again today.
In the morning, I drew a picture of the scenery seen from the window... The sky at dawn is really beautiful.
Well, editing work, and taking pictures, then, to shooting...
I hope it'll become a nice work…
But today is again hot in Cebu...
The skin of my face is crunchy and
I've started to peel it off already today...
fast... dirty... skillful…
What are you doing!?
[WEDNESDAY]
We-we-we-Wednesday, Cebu Day 6…
The last editing work today, for going back home tomorrow.
We came to Cebu for 3 days shooting and 3 days of editing,
6 days at QQ ENGLISH, going home tomorrow on the morning flight, Daily Life mixed with the foreign students...
We didn't come to study or to play…
A week in which, although I didn't know with what face I should spend the days…shooting being sunburned and bright red,
it felt as being one step ahead of summer,
6 days in which the sunburn aching was healed by the beautiful scenery and air.
After returning home tomorrow, working in rehearsals again and
Doing our best towards Nagoya.
To everyone involved in Cebu Island, Thank you very much!
QQ ENGLISH, until next time, studying abroad…
one day (T ΔT ●)
[THURSDAY]
Early Morning, before Sunset at QQ English, 5:30 am
It's Holy Week (Eastern) in Cebu, from today on, School Holiday.
Today, after returning home, I have a Meeting at the office...
Carrying the Big Luggage in the evening, is exhausting…
Let's rest and slow down for tomorrow's rehearsal... what the..?The new work is UP on the very day I return.
Because it's, as always, a work packed with hundreds of thoughts from diverse people,
and I was myself in Cebu until a little while ago,
and because it's a work packed with the smiling faces of the teachers... personally, I love it.
Everyone, please watch and repeat hundreds of thousands of times.
Even the Edition group, after watching hundreds of thousands of times, always finished up with a smiling face after all.
The last Music Video of the Heisei Era.
Everyone, please watch hundreds of thousands of times and smile!
[FRIDAY]
Today, off to rehearsal…
Ah, it's the new song MV, and all the performers were
QQ ENGLISH teachers, not a single actor appeared.
And yet... Aren't they all playing well?
Quite like an actor... even thery're no actors at all ..
I also wanted to play one of the KINGS…
If you search for teachers in the QQ ENGLISH's teacher search, you will be able to watch the video messages of the teachers themselves, and receive classes if you make a reservation!
Please search by all means!
I have been searching myself (LOL)
I wanted to book a KINGS LESSON…
Aah, Japan has a pleasant spring weather...
I'll do my best at the rehearsal today!
On the way back, I went for a drink with my brother after a long time.
[SATURDAY]
It was a slow-down day after a long time,
I dedicated to write the book which I'd stopped doing in Cebu.
The Sunset orange seen from the rooftop after a long time was vivid.
Tomorrow, I'll do my best at the JTB Travel project!
[SUNDAY]
For the JTB Travel LESSON today, Thank you very much!
We used a lot our heads and bodies, and although it might be throbbing inside the head… Please rest, slow down and try to remember and practice with the review videos!

On a certain street in Lisbon, cobblestones line a narrow, serpentine roadway and when it rains, the stones turn a brilliant shade of dark blue. Somewhere along this street, (exactly where is hard to say), once lived an old, cantankerous woman and her niece, who was described by all accounts to be the most beautiful of any creature found along this blue, cobblestoned way.
"Yes, Aunt Mirada," her niece would say and retreat to her room with a golden-haired bow. In her small, half-empty space beside the mudroom, she'd read the only book her aunt ever allowed. It was a cookbook of autumn squash—Gourdes to Engorge—helpful in the fall months but useless once the weather warmed and the squash vines turned brown and crusty.
"Pour in half the flour and mix until crumbly but not quite firm …" Belinda might read.
Then her aunt would call out for her to sew or clean or wipe mucous from Mirada's chin and Belinda would shut the book, letting out a beautiful, languid sigh.
The maiden's beauty—wide, navy eyes, rosebud lips, buttermilk skin—might not have been such a point of sore contention for Mirada had the old woman not been struck by a loveless jealousy that boiled from below her puss-filled elbow warts and inside the cavernous pock marks dimpling her cheeks. Aunt Mirada was, from fleshy forehead to yellowing toenails, the very picture of ugly; she embodied the word in both body and spirit with an unbending bravado that would make even the wickedest of witches proud.
"Looks are but the devil's sorcery on an unsuspecting fool," the old woman many-a-day would holler as Belinda returned from reading squash recipes on her blanket-less bed by the room for mud.
No, the old woman hadn't seen anything but blue stone and the wind, she told him.
"Of course you don't," she said to the regrettably handsome man—sorcery of the devil!—just as Belinda came galloping down the street.
The Prince of Kalopatia turned to Belinda, coughing at her beauty, which was so powerful it caused him to lose his next three breaths and choke on a medium-sized wad of spit.
"Yes." His answer was delivered with the sharp-edged bluntness of truth.
"Perhaps you're right," the prince said with a kind laugh and a wink at Belinda who blushed in return.
"You can catch the stars?" The prince asked Belinda, ignoring the rest of Mirada's blistery invective.
As if on cue, a white mare—hair pure and shiny—trotted toward the group with rhythmic clip-clops on the blue cobblestones.
"My horse!" The prince shouted and in the same moment, halted the silvery-haired animal with a tug at its mane, next scooping up Belinda and heaving them atop the beast.
"Can you really catch the stars?" The prince asked after they were both securely in the saddle, the arms-flailing, cursing old woman a distant figure of warts, pock marks and boils in the backdrop of the little Lisbon town disappearing behind them.
And so Prince Gristhede of Kalopatia and the beautiful Belinda rode together on the prince's white horse, traveling with the bubbly winds of new adventure as the last of the blue stones faded away.


The Queen's University community is mourning the loss of professor emeritus C.E.S. (Ned) Franks, who died on Tuesday at the age of 81.
Franks taught in the department of political studies and the school of physical and health education.
A Toronto native, Franks attended Upper Canada College. While at Queen's he earned a bachelor of arts in 1959, a master of arts in 1965, and a PhD from Oxford University.
He returned to Queen's as an assistant professor in 1967 after working for the Saskatchewan government.
Franks, respected for his expertise when it came to Canada's parliamentary system, served as a regular adviser to government and was sought out by media outlets, including the Whig-Standard, for his comments on particular issues regarding the Canadian government.
Franks wrote or edited 14 books and detailed studies, including The Parliament of Canada, The Canoe and White Water, and Dissent and the State.
As well he wrote more than 100 articles and chapters in books on a variety of subjects, including public administration, government accountability, parliamentary government in Canada, aboriginal self-government, canoeing, sport and politics, Canada's North, issues related to nuclear energy, and politics in India.
Franks also participated in Queen's governance, most recently on the former campus planning and development committee, and in 2007 he was given the Distinguished Service Award by the University for his four decades of leadership and work on campus planning.
As well in 2002, he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal and, in 2004, the Royal Canadian Geographical Society awarded him its 75th Anniversary Medallion.
Franks also served as a mentor to generations of student leaders in the Alma Mater Society, and twice was appointed its honorary president.
"He was a kind of larger-than-life figure both here in the department but also in the scholarly community and beyond," Jonathan Rose, a Queen's associate professor in political studies, said in a statement.
Franks was Rose's supervisor during his master's studies at Queen's and later became his colleague when he joined the department of political studies.
"His sense of wonderment about things beyond and outside of the narrow discipline of political studies was incredibly refreshing and demonstrated a love of learning about the world," Rose said.
Franks' funeral arrangements have yet to be made public.


One of my very favorite things to do is to get out and walk. I enjoy walking for exercise either by myself or with a friend. I love to walk the hills of my neighborhood, or go down to the bay and walk along the shore, or up to the local mountains and hike the trails. I also enjoy walking as a way to discover hidden gems in unfamiliar places. Walking allows me to see the small details I would miss if I was in a car, or even on a bike. When I'm not trying to raise my heart rate, the less hurried pace allows me to observe my surroundings and to stop and take a closer look or snap a picture.
A while ago, I read about an urban hike in our city called the Seven Bridge Walk and was intrigued. The hike is about 5.5 miles long and meanders through several older neighborhoods and crosses over a mix of historic and newer bridges. The walk sounded like the perfect combination of exercise, sightseeing, and a bit of history, so I filed it away as something to do in the spring.
Finally, last Tuesday, my husband and I decided it was the perfect day to put on our walking sandals and go.
This was the trunk of a very strange tree.
The route begins on the east side of Balboa Park, near the succulent and cactus gardens. After spending some time playing in looking at the plants, we crossed the first – and shortest – of the seven bridges.
This concrete walking bridge was built fairly recently to provide safe passage over a busy street. The bridge has a graceful design and it was a nice way to enter Balboa Park, San Diego's jewel and the nation's largest urban cultural park (which deserves—and will get—its own, separate post).
Continuing west along El Prado through the middle of the park, we reached the majestic Cabrillo Bridge. The bridge was constructed in 1914 and is the first multiple-arched cantilever bridge built in California. Although Cabrillo Bridge originally spanned a small lake, cars traveling on State Route 163 now pass underneath its arches.
You can see a downtown high rise, San Diego Bay, and the end of Point Loma off in the distance.
After a few zigs and zags and several stops to take pictures, we reached the third bridge on our walk. Built in 1931, the First Street Bridge is the only steel-arch bridge in the city. It was built in a fabrication plant in the Midwest, dismantled, and then shipped to San Diego to be assembled again.
Come along to see the remaining bridges on our walk in my Spanning seven urban bridges, 4 – 7 post next week.
How interesting – a bridge walk! I bet you saw a lot of things you would miss if you were in a car. I'm looking forward to reading about bridges 4 to 7 next week.
A 5.5 mile walk should take less than 2 hours… we were on it for at least twice that! So much to see!
That walk would book my entire day!
It really was a lot of fun and well worth it.
Love it! Thanks for taking us along, Janis.
You are welcome! Come along on the second half too.
What a cool tree. Great walk with the bridges.
That tree was very strange. I'm not sure what it was because the sign had been broken. I couldn't tell if the trunk shape was an anomaly or if it was typical of that tree.
I think you can invent a story of how it was a hide out for a highwayman.
Yes! This would be my kind of walk. I love bridges!
I knew you'd like it! Other than the Coronado Bay Bridge, it's probably the best known – and loved – bridge in San Diego.
Great pics, and it looks like it was fun. I go to the gym at least four times a week, and even though I enjoy it, there's nothing like going for a walk outdoors. It's not really about the exercise; it's just the sights, sounds, and hopefully the smells. I like a pictorial post — you've given me some inspiration to try it sometime in the future.
I try to get in the habit of going to the gym but I just love to put on my shoes and walk. I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. Stay tuned for more!
I love that there was no sign warning humans to not enter the tree trunk! That photo is a keeper.
My husband said that it was obvious he wasn't the first to go inside. I originally asked him to stand in front to give scale to the photo, but he decided to venture into the depths… I'm glad he did.
That is indeed a very strange looking tree!
One of my brothers lives north of San Diego. I'll need to check out the walk the next time we visit the area.
Well, if your brother doesn't want to go, I would be happy to go again!
Urban walks – wonderful! I also love your term 'walking sandals' in the place of the usual boots or shoes. So 'California', where weather just doesn't make for the complications you get everywhere else!
We purchased our Teva walking sandals before we went to Cuba. We knew the weather would be warm but also that we'd be walking on a lot of cobblestone streets. They worked perfectly for us and have worn them many times for just this sort of hike.
Cuba! I'm going to have to head over to your archives.
Look for posts from February, 2015. We were lucky to have gone before the current onslaught of American tourists.
That walks sounds fantastic, and very unique. You are very lucky to have it close by!
Close by but not a neighborhood I visit very often. I'm a big lookie-loo so I really enjoyed the lovely old homes along our path.
I love Balboa Park. Great shots of the bridges. You could be in blog heaven just writing about all the great sight-seeing in SD!
I'll leave that to Cool Sights in San Diego! Balboa Park really is a jewel… I was going there just about every week for a photography class for awhile.
First, you inspire me to grab the hubs, lace up, and get out there. Second, I reeeally want to save my pennies and visit San Diego! I'm seeing a perfect use for some frequent flier miles! Thanks for sharing this walk! Can't wait for part two!
Start saving! I'd be happy to provide info to help you plan your trip. And, of course, set aside some time for us to meet for coffee!
The best source for the route I found was from an old Reader article (just google it). I took screen shots of the article and map and used it to find our way. Have fun!
It sounds like you are due for another visit! I hope to put together my Balboa Park post soon… it really is a special place!
It is indeed. I look forward to getting back there again someday.


Abstract: Introduction: Intravascular catheters are crucial in modern medical practice, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs). However, vascular catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) have become a leading cause of health-care-associated bloodstream infections and are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Aim of the work: to determine whether the Gram stain-acridine orange leucocyte cytospin (AOLC) test could offer accuracy comparable to other methods for the diagnosis of catheter-related blood stream infection and to avoid inconvenient, unnecessary and costly central venous catheter removal. Material and methods: This study included 36 patients with central venous catheterization. All patients with CVC were clinically suspected to have CR-BSI, as suggested by their physicians. They were 24 males and 12 females with their ages ranging between 20 years and 68 years with the mean age 51.3 ± 14.9 years. The samples were subjected to two major diagnostic strategies: the first implemented catheter sparing approach, while the other strategy required catheter removal. Catheter sparing diagnostic methods included paired quantitative blood cultures, pour-plate technique and acridine orange leukocyte cytospin/Gram test (AOLC/G test), while methods that required device removal were semiquantitative catheter segment culture (roll- plate method) and quantitative catheter segment culture (tip-flush method). Results: Taking the roll- plate technique as the reference method, there was fair agreement (66.7%) between the results of pour plate and roll plate techniques (kappa=0.226), there was moderate agreement between the results of paired quantitative blood culture (83.3%), tip flush method (83.3%) and AOLC / G (80.6%) and the reference method (kappa=0.429, 0.429 ,0.40 respectively). The diagnostic validity tests for AOLC showed that the specificity of AOLC was 100% and the sensitivity was 78.8%. Conclusion: From this study, it was concluded that the Gram stain-AOLC test is a simple, rapid, sensitive and specific test that could be used as a first line screening test for the in situ diagnosis of CRBSI. This policy can prevent the unnecessary removal of uninfected catheters and significantly extends the life span of catheters and lowers the risks and costs of mechanical complications associated with new catheter placement.

La guerra di Gollub è stata una guerra di due mesi che vide l'Ordine teutonico contro il Regno di Polonia e il Granducato di Lituania nel 1422. Finì con la firma del trattato di Melno, che risolse le contese territoriali sulla Samogizia tra i Cavalieri e la Lituania che si erano protratte dal 1398.

Contesto
Il trattato di Toruń del 1411 aveva terminato i conflitti tra le potenze coinvolte nella guerra polacco-lituano-teutonica, sebbene il confine tra la Samogizia e la Prussia non era ancora determinato. La Polonia contestò anche la Pomerania, la Pomerelia, e la terra di Chełmno. Quando fallirono molti tentativi di negoziati, nell'estate 1414 scoppiò la breve guerra della fame. Dato che i polacchi e i lituani non riuscirono a catturare le altamente fortificate Ordensburg dei Cavalieri, entrambe le parti accettarono di mediare la loro disputa al Concilio di Costanza. Il Concilio istituì l'arcidiocesi di Kaunas in Varniai e nominò Mattia di Trakai come suo primo vescovo. Tuttavia, ciò non risolse le contese territoriali quando finì nel 1418.

Nel maggio 1419 cominciò una nuova fase, anche se futile, di negoziazioni a Gniewków con il legato pontificio Bartolomeo della Capra, arcivescovo di Milano, come mediatore. La disputa fu passata all'imperatore Sigismondo di Lussemburgo, per ulteriori mediazioni. Il 6 gennaio 1420 a Breslavia, l'imperatore affermò che il trattato di Toruń è valido e giusto. Ciò significò che la Samogizia apparteneva alla Lituania solo per il periodo di vita di Vitoldo, Granduca di Lituania, e Jogaila, Re di Polonia. Dopo le loro morti la Samogizia sarebbe tornata ai Cavalieri Teutonici. Furono rifiutate anche le altre rivendicazioni territoriali. L'imperatore concesse ai Cavalieri più diritti di quelli da loro richiesti nelle negoziazioni. Questa decisione fu probabilmente dipesa dal fatto che Sigismondo sperava di ricevere il sostegno dai Cavalieri Teutonici nella sua crociata Hussita che lo vedeva contro gli hussiti sostenuti da Vitoldo. Vitoldo e Jogaila rifiutarono categoricamente la decisione. Jogaila fece appello, senza successo, a Papa Martino V.

La guerra
Nel luglio 1422, l'imperatore Sigismondo e i Cavalieri Teutonici dedicò delle risorse per una guerra contro gli hussiti, che attaccarono e devastarono grande parte della Germania. Il papa chiese delle misure forti per "sbarazzarsi di questa peste". Vitoldo e Jogaila usarono l'ossessione con la difesa contro le incursioni hussiti attaccando la Prussia e l'Ordine. Il Gran maestro teutonico Michael Küchmeister von Sternberg fu obbligato a dimettersi a marzo. Il suo successore, Paul von Rusdorf, liberò molti mercenari; l'Ordine rimase con molti pochi soldati per difendersi. Le forze alleate polacche e lituane marciarono a nord verso Ostróda, e le forze teutoniche si ritirarono a Lubawa. Quando fu chiaro che non sarebbero arrivate le macchine d'assedio, Jogaila ordinò un'avanzata verso Marienburg (Malbork), la capitale fortificata dell'Ordine. Il suo esercito catturò Riesenburg e saccheggiò i villaggi circostanti. Dirigendosi a sud verso la terra di Chełmno, i polacchi e i lituani catturarono Gollub, ma non riuscirono a prendere Schönsee. Jogaila decise di finire la guerra velocemente prima che le truppe prussiane dell'Ordine sovrastate avessero potuto ricevere i rinforzi dal Sacro Romano Impero che Paul von Rusdorf richiese. Il 17 settembre 1422 fu firmato un armistizio e la guerra terminò dieci giorni dopo con il trattato di Melno. Questo finì le dispute territoriali e gli scontri tra la Lituania e i Cavalieri Teutonici. La Polonia, tuttavia, ricominciò a combattere contro l'Ordine un'altra volta negli anni 1431–1435 quando l'Ordine sostenne Švitrigaila e non Sigismund Kęstutaitis (sostenuto dalla Polonia) come successore di Vitoldo.

Game development, as exciting as the end products may be, remains rather unexploited in Kenya and the East Africa region in general. While on one side this results from an inadequacy of skills, low corporate demand for games as part of their marketing and engagement efforts remains a key factor. I mean, let's be honest, as much as developers develop games as a hobby or out of the in-born passion, they love and need money too!
Nevertheless, the situation is not hopeless as we already have quite a good number of established game developers with quite a number of products to show for it. This covers both in-house projects and projects undertaken for various clients, on various platforms such as HTML games (web-based), Android games, iOS games, social media games among others.
Come up with the basic plot.
