While the heroes barely surviving the nuclear blasts search for Murphy, Citizen Z broadcasts Murphy's identity and offers a bounty from the CDC to get him to California safely. Suddenly everyone wants a piece of "The Murphy," including a mysterious and deadly bounty hunter, Vasquez. This season's journey promises epic battles with a variety of new zombies - from Radioactive Blaster Zombies to Phyto-Zombies, Animal Zombies and of course a Zombie Baby!
Three years after the devastating ZN1 virus gutted the country, a group of strangers band together to transport the only known survivor of the zombie attack— Murphy — from New York to California. As humanity's last hope to develop a vaccine, Murphy's dark secret could seriously endanger the mission. An epic road trip filled with non-stop thrills, chills, and blood-splattering zombie fun, every episode from seasons 1 through 3 are yours to own forever (even in an apocalypse).


1982: Manchester City are crushed at home by Liverpool in the old Division One. The Blues went into the game in shocking form, and the dominant Merseyside club compounded their misery with a 5-0 hammering at Maine Road.
1991: City claim a vital three points by winning away at Leeds United in their Division One clash. Goals from Niall Quinn and Andy Hill ensured the Blues continued an unbeaten run that lasted seven games near the end of the 1990-91 season.


Cinemablographer: Speeches Galore at BAFTAs!
The British Academy of Film and Television Awards (BAFTA) were handed out today. It comes as no surprise that The King's Speech steamrolled the competition, since it's like, the most British movie ever made. Speech landed seven wins, including Best Picture, Outstanding British Film, and acting nods for Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, and Helena Bonham Carter. Natalie Portman also added some more hardware to her corner (woo!), thus pushing the odds more in her favour in the 'Portman Vs. Bening' match. How well the BAFTA's resemble the Oscars remains to be seen: this is a pretty good batch of winners, but this year also seems to have some of the closest races in recent memory. Should be an exciting few weeks!

If you've ever seen the movie Miles from Nowhere, then you will definitely appreciate the role of Erica Schmidt. Although she may not be as famous as her husband and Game of Throne star, Peter Dinklage, Erica's role in the show business which has helped in bringing about good and quality playwrights cannot be underestimated.
Schmidt and her husband Dinklage have a lot in common, especially where work is concerned. As Peter Dinklage continues to grow as one of the most admired actors in big and small screens, his wife and supporter for over a decade, makes her own magical climb to the top ladder of beautiful actresses and theatre directors of her time. Today, she is not just a theatre heavyweight, she is a force to reckon with when it is anything related to entertainment. Here are some facts to know about Erica Schmidt.
Who is Erica Schmidt – Peter Dinklage's Wife?
Best known as the wife of the Emmy Award-winning Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage. Erica Schmidt is an award-winning actress and theatre director. She was born on June 8, 1975, in Los Angeles, California. Daughter to a Native American family, Erica belongs to North American ethnicity.
Schmidt's love for acting wasn't developed out of a sheer search for a job, it was a passion she has nursed since her early years. She began a step towards becoming a renowned actress in her school years. While studying at the Poughkeepsie, a New York-based Vassar College, the American actress joined her school's comedy group called Laughing Stock and she was part of their numerous weekend comedic performances.
Erica Schmidt began her career almost immediately after graduating from college. She started not as an actress or writer but as a costume designer. While living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, she worked with Julliard for a couple of months and gained more experience that relates to her long-loved acting and directing career. Erica eventually got a job as a deck stage manager for the production of the film, Jesus Christ Superstar, at the St. Mark's Youth and Young Adult Theatre Ministries.
Following the role she played in the success of the above-mentioned film, Erica earned her first role as a theatre director in the production of As You Like It in 2000. More directorial roles were given to her afterwards with the most famous being the 2002 film, Spanish Girl, which did not only gave her the first major earning, it also fetched her the needed fame as a rising star in the entertainment industry. Her first major critical hit, however, was in the film Debbie Does Dallas, produced in 2003. Others on her production list include Humor Abuse, Rent and The Sorcerer. She wrote All The Fine Boys and co-wrote Humor Abuse and Cyrano.
As per Erica's acting roles, she is known for taking minor TV roles. Her first appearance in the movies is in the 2002 film titled Miles from Nowhere. Her roles in film productions have earned her quite a lot in terms of financial balance. Even though her current net worth and annual earnings are not yet known, it is believed that the multi-talented American has enough to take care of herself and her family. Erica also has a share in her husband's fortune. As one of the highest-paid actor of his time, Peter Dinklage has a net worth of about $15 million with an average pay of $1.1 million per episode from the movie Game of Thrones.
Aside from being famous as a film director, one other thing that draws people's attention to Erica is her striking height over her husband's. Erica Schmidt is 5 feet 5 inches tall while her husband is 4 feet 5 inches tall. In addition to her good body structure, Erica has a body weight of 59kg (130 lb) with a dark brown hair colour as well as a dark brown pair of eyes. Despite the differences in their hight, the couple still live happily together.
Erica married Peter on April 16, 2005, after meeting in 2002 and dating for about three years. Their marriage took place a couple of months after she reportedly eloped with him to Las Vegas. The couple has two children whom they have tried to keep away from the public. Their first child, a girl who has been erroneously named "Zelig", was born in 2011 while their second child whose name and gender has remained private, was born in 2017.
Following their decision to remain private about their personal life, Erica has stayed away from every social media platform, be it Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Here I am, starting another blog–or maybe I'm revamping an old one. One of the reasons I've never been able to carry through with one of these things (before) is my own tendency to be amazingly pretentious: I make them into places to post essays, and though I start a lot of writing projects I never seem to finish any of them!
So, I'm going to let myself breathe a little more freely, here. This is the Great Tininess, a place wherein I hope to express–document, publish, publicize?–my current and future condition. I'm a student, I'm a neoPagan, I'm a chaos magician; I'm a white kid, I'm a historian, I'm a trekkie. And I'm gonna talk about it here.
Maybe I'll even do it in Klingon, just for you.

Debunking Cheer Myths
A Defence of a "Controversial" Sport from an Insider Perspective
Photo via bustle.com
By Nadia Trudel
My history with cheerleading began when I was a little blonde 7-year-old, inspired by the student, crime-fighter, and cheerleader, Kim Possible, from the Disney television show. What proceeded was nearly a decade of sweat, yelling, glitter eyeshadow, pain, hairspray, and bedazzled crop tops. Since then, I've dealt with so many ignorant comments, and I've had to explain that cheerleading is in fact a sport countless times. I haven't cheered in over a year, but after rewatching Bring it On, a movie that perpetuates many of these misconceptions, I realized the value in writing a myth-busting piece defending a sport to which I was dedicated to for so long.
Here is a list of the most common criticisms I've heard over the years accompanied by my take on these issues:
1- "Cheerleaders just wave pom-poms to cheer on men which perpetuates the idea that women are supposed to fawn over and support men."
Personally, I've never waved pom-poms to cheer on a male sports team. That being said, I still recognize the fact that this still happens in the sport, and I agree that it is problematic, especially when the team consists largely of women.
"In my experience, there was no patriarchal figure who was dressing me, telling me I needed to be skinny, and choreographing a dance where I shake my ass."
2- "Cheerleading is sexual and thus harmful to women and gender equality."
Throughout my childhood and adolescence as a cheerleader, I never felt sexualised. I wore crop tops and short skirts, but it wasn't a big deal for my parents and I - or for anyone else involved, for that matter. The uniform was simply a cute and practical outfit. Like in most sports, the clothing in cheerleading tends to have less coverage because it's easier to move around in. Rather than make me feel objectified, the costumes helped me become more comfortable in my skin. The dance moves performed also receive scrutiny for being "promiscuous", however, there is nothing inherently sexual about them. It is simply our culture that has given them this connotation.
3- "Cheerleading perpetuates female beauty standards."
In my experience, I was never told that my body needed to look a certain way, but I definitely benefited from "thin privilege". I've seen and worked with cheerleaders of all heights, shapes and sizes, all of whom were incredibly valued. I think it would be unfair to say that there is a body-shaming issue specific to cheerleading, when really it's deeply-rooted in our culture. The hair and makeup standards are also cited as reinforcing traditional female beauty standards, however, it is standard for performers to wear makeup. Cheerleading makeup tends to be theatrical and dramatic so it looks good for an audience. This applies to hair as well, which is always tied up for convenience, but is often curled, braided or teased as part of the costume. Besides that, the high ponytail with a bow and the dramatic makeup is what has helped make cheerleading iconic and allowed it to thrive as an industry.
To conclude, my rebuttals aren't to say that these criticisms don't have any value, but I do think they are out of touch with what modern cheerleading is. In my experience, there was no patriarchal figure who was dressing me, telling me I needed to be skinny, and choreographing a dance where I shake my ass. I was coached by young talented female athletes who motivated me and empowered me. I've never considered myself athletic, but cheerleading pushed me and showed me that I was powerful. For the most part, my teams were sisterhoods working together to make a good show. Being competitive, working in a team, overcoming physical limits, and being dedicated to something had a part in forming my character. Cheerleading helped me get out of my head, and provided endorphins and adrenaline which were beneficial to my anxiety and depression. I think it's about time cheer gets the respect it deserves, as it has drastically evolved from pom-poms on the sidelines to center stage in international competitions.

A group of young ballerinas have taken their beloved hobby and turned it into an iconic photo shoot inspired by Misty Copeland in honor of Black History Month.
The little girls, who dance together at iRule Dance Studio in Beaumont, Texas, recently took a break from their vigorous dance schedules to pose for the camera in a photo shoot by Brandie Perry of Bee Photography, Good Morning America reported.
But what was supposed to be an activity to help the girls bond ultimately turned into a symbol of empowerment for black women, and has quickly become a viral sensation.
"All they want to do is have fun and they still don't understand how big of a deal this is," Angela Malonson, whose 7-year-old daughter Falon has been a part of the elite dance squad since she was 3, told GMA.
"Maybe once they're older and can reflect back on the moment, they will see all of the positivity," Malonson added. "It's a wonderful feeling."

The photo shoot was initially proposed by the girls' families but didn't come to fruition until early February when they all had availability between their two to three hours per day, six days per week practices, Perry explained to Fox affiliate KSAZ.
"These girls are dedicated," said the photographer, whose daughter dances at iRule. "When I say dedicated, I mean dedicated."
As it turned out, the date the families eventually decided on happened to fall during Black History Month.
"These girls work so hard, and although they don't complain about it, sometimes we like to do something fun," Malonson told GMA. "It just so happened to be February and what better month to do [the photo shoot] in honor of Black History Month."

On the day of the shoot, Perry gathered the ballerinas together in their black leotards, pink tights, and ballet slippers and had them pose outside near downtown Beaumont, according to KSAZ.
Though they were all wearing the same outfits, Perry said it was important to her that the photos accurately reflected each ballerina's unique personality.
"Even if it's a group of girls, I love each one of them to have their own little thing, each one of them [to] shine a little bit," Perry told KSAZ. "You can tell the personality in each one of these girls."
"I wanted it to be a fierce, in-your-face picture, but show their softness too," the photographer added of the shots.
Some of the photos feature the girls standing in power poses with their hands on their hips or foreheads. Others show them playfully interacting with each other, laughing, whispering, and joking around.
Most of the girls have their hair pulled into a tight bun, while a select few have it in a ponytail. But all of the photos are undeniably fierce — something that Malonson said was inspired by fellow black ballerina Copeland, 37.
"We just don't see a lot of people that look like her … people of color, brown people that take ballet," she explained to GMA. "Misty Copeland came along and paved the way. There weren't very many people for little girls of color to look up to."

When the images finally came out, iRule's founder and owner CharLee Hanna-Rule said she was moved by the powerful shots.
"When I saw [the pictures], I obviously choked up," Hanna-Rule told GMA. "To see [the photos], I was so proud."
Hanna-Rule said part of the reason she was so emotional over the photos was because they embodied everything she believes and preaches at her dance studio.
"I'm a big believer that, no matter who you are, if you want to dance in my studio, it's a place for you," she explained. "It doesn't matter your size or color or anything."

The photos have been as equally well-received by internet users all over the world.
After Perry posted them on her Facebook on Feb. 10, captioning the shots, "Fierce, determined, strong," they have garnered over 14,000 shares.
With the photos continuing to circulate online, Malonson said she hopes the girls take away a valuable lesson from this experience so that they can become the next Copeland one day.
"The sky's the limit," she told GMA. "If you do the work and work hard, great things come. Just don't give up."

[VIEWPOINT]Let's step back and calm our emotions
In these times when emotions are running high and sweeping the nation like a tsunami, you can feel like an outsider if you aren't as moved as the others.
If you do get excited and join the crowd, you're OK. But if you can't work yourself up, you may feel alienated. In extreme cases, such people might even be called unpatriotic.
More than anything, the World Cup soccer games are creating such a frenzy. The whole country is hot with World Cup enthusiasm.
Everyone seems to feel that the fate of the nation depends on Korean victories in the World Cup matches, and that all other problems will be solved with wins.
Although there may be many other important things to report, even the public broadcast stations report nothing but World Cup soccer.
If our team does well in the World Cup in Germany, we will gain confidence as a soccer power and the people's morale will get a great boost.
But will our country decline if our performance is poor?
It would seem obvious that victory or defeat at soccer is not directly related to the fate of the nation.
Brazil and Argentina, two countries that have enjoyed considerable succeess at the World Cup, are both suffering economically.
Even North Korea was admired when the country advanced to the World Cup quarterfinal 40 years ago. Therefore, I think we should ease our enjoyment of the World Cup as a sports event.
Because the people's expectations are too high, I am worried about what will happen if the team fails to meet them.
Of course, it will be good if our team wins. But even if they lose, we have to accept defeat as a part of the game and get ready for the next one.
What is important is doing our best at the games. It is not good to make people go mad with soccer and lose control as old communist bloc countries or some South American countries did.
Even after the World Cup, the Earth will still move around the sun and we have to live on.
The next thing on my mind is the emotion attached to the South-North rail reconnection.
Some people seem to think, with emotion, as if all inter-Korean problems will be resolved if only the rail lines are reconnected.
But will this be so?
They say that the reconnected railway line will become an iron silk road. To be a real iron silk road, goods and manpower should be transported to Europe back and forth through North Korea via the reconnected rail lines.
But there are too many obstacles. Even if the rail lines between the South and the North are reconnected and trains run between the South and the North once again, other problems will not resolve themselves.
Our economic situation is not so good as to justify pouring in national resources for such a symbolic event.
We were very much excited about the South-North summit meeting in June 2000 and expected an economic boom if the North opened its doors. We were also excited when the Dorasan station, where the train for North Korea will start, was completed.
People say that the rail reconnection will be the starting point of national unification, but there is no consensus on what kind of unification it will be.
We felt something hot in our chests when we saw people from the North and the South gather together and sing the song "Our Wish is Unification," hand in hand.
Singing together is good, but I worry whether they think they've done a good job by singing the song but are not willing to do what is needed to actually bring unification about.
I think we should switch from unification of emotion to unification of practical preparation.
Last of all, I note our excitement when exclaiming, "Dokdo is our land!" The Dokdo islets are our national territory and they are under our occupation. It hurts our feelings to hear that Japan claims the islets as its territory, but there is no need for us to be excessively excited. If it becomes an international issue, we can be dragged into Japan's strategy.
We had better reflect on whether or not we have neglected efforts to study historical evidence, taken action according to international law and promoted cooperation with other countries. Instead of noisy emotion, we need cool-headed preparation.
If by some chance Japan proceeds to occupy the islets with military force and demonstrates its military might, I wonder whether our country is prepared for a military response and has a plan for diplomatic cooperation with our allies.
We have sent fighter planes and warships to the Dokdo islets, but the problem cannot be solved with just a demonstration.
In preparation for a diplomatic conflict, it is urgent that we get our allies to stand on our side and help us in earnest.
For now, it's all right if I'm the only one who's not in the grip of emotion as others are.
I feel alienated as I needlessly think about various things. Having too much on my mind seems to be a kind of disease as well.

Maine Teen Safe After 'High Risk' Ice Rescue
Published at 10:04 pm on March 21, 2019
A teenager in Rumford, Maine, is safe after a tense ice rescue by the town's fire department Tuesday.
Shortly before 6 p.m. that afternoon, two teen boys were fishing when one of them got swept into the Androscoggin River just below a paper mill.
Firefighters had to climb down a steep embankment to get to the river bank and a section of water they say has hazards like a dam, rapids and a water discharge from the mill on either side of it.
Rumford Fire Chief Chris Reed says he had teams upstream and downstream of the operation to make sure the pair of firefighters who went into the water were safe and able to be saved should they have been swept away themselves.
Luckily, the redundancies were not needed.
Firefighter Chris Arsenault was able to reach the teen on the ice and hand him a life jacket.
"When I reached him, I threw him a life jacket, and he asked what to do with it," Arsenault said. "I said, 'well put it on.'"
Arsenault was tethered to shore on a rope line by fellow firefighter Ray Crockett.
Crockett said he was concerned a piece of ice would get caught in the line and put Arsenault at risk of getting hurt.
"If a piece of ice had floated down by and caught a safety line and took him further down, that would have been one more person that we had to rescue," said Crockett. "If it had caught enough that it pulled safety line out of my hands, it would have been a very different story."
But the operation went completely as planned with firefighters pulling the ice chunk and teen to shore without him getting wet at all.
Once onshore, the teens were evaluated by paramedics then released to their parents.
While necn attempted to reach the teens through the Rumford Police Department, which also responded for the rescue, their names could not be released because they are juveniles.

Q: Sqlite problems: database file is locked I ve got a sqlite database with several tables. One of them called studentsession. Inside my code I am calling plenty times the table for select, insert, updates. After a while I am receiving the message:

java.sql.SQLException: [SQLITE_BUSY]  The database file is locked (database is locked)

One instance of the calling is the following:
    String query3 = "select * from studentssession where id= ?  and math= ? and level = ?";
    PreparedStatement pst__ = connectionUsers.prepareStatement(query3);
    pst__.setString(1, x);
    pst__.setString(2, x1);
    pst__.setString(3, x2);
    ts2 = pst__.executeQuery();

I am trying to figure out if I have or not to close every time the prepared statement, and if there is a case that this is causing my problems.
EDIT: Is it possible to have a check for possible open references in the database, using for example a javafxbutton?
EDIT: Is there a way that I can check in my code whether there is a problem in the references to the table and locate and possible close them?

A: It's probably due to you having multiple open references to the sqlite database.
I'd start by closing your PreparedStatement in a finally block inside your while loop.
PreparedStatement pst__ = null;
try{
  pst__ = connectionUsers.prepareStatement(query3);
  pst__.setString(1, x);
  pst__.setString(2, x1);
  pst__.setString(3, x2);
  ts2 = pst__.executeQuery();
}finally{
  if(pst__ != null) {
    pst__.close();
  }
}

You should also close the database connection at the end of everything.
Also it is a bad practice to use multiple connections when connecting to SQLite. See

Set your poolsize maxactive to 1 and try out.

Morning Drop Off Procedures
Morning Drop off does not begin until Carpool Staff are in place and indicate that drop off procedures should begin. Please respect the directions given by the Carpool Staff.
Enter school grounds from Mary's Way and immediately follow the sharp right turn.
Drive to the far end of the parking lot following route closest to St. Vincent de Paul building.
At the end of the parking lot, bear left until your car is parallel to the sidewalk adjacent to the church.
Vehicles will be given a signal to begin a second row.
Please wait for direction before turning right onto the street between the church and the chapel.
Cars should not stop in the lane between the church and the chapel and no student should disembark from vehicles in this area (area indicated by orange lines in the picture to the left)
Follow the street and bear left at the front of the school staying as close to the curb as possible.
Continue around the circle (always driving close to the curb) stopping at the end where the carpool duty person is standing – beginning of faculty parking.
When the car in front of you stops to allow students to disembark, you should do the same. Students may only exit and walk in areas adjacent to the student walking path indicated in blue in the picture to the left.
Exit the parking lot to Mary's Way always following the car in front of you. If passengers from the car in front of you are not finished disembarking, but yours are, please wait. Do not pass any cars to exit.
Afternoon Pick Up Procedures
Parents park their cars in the west or east side of the parking lot in a continuous line approximately 5 cars deep. Cars parked in the west side will exit via Mary's Way, and those parked in the east side exit via Easy Street. The faculty/staff supervise all dismissals. Pre-K students are dismissed at the Pre-K entrance door directly to their parents. Kindergarten students are dismissed at 2:50PM and escorted to the sidewalk in front of the church by their teachers where they will be met by their parents/guardians or carpool driver. All other children are dismissed immediately after prayers. Parents are asked to meet their child at the front of the row in which they are parked. We encourage everyone to be conscientious of the safety of all who are in the parking lot at dismissal time.
The lead faculty/staff member scheduled for dismissal duty will sound the first alarm, and give the voice command for everyone to return to their vehicles. Three minutes later, the alarm is sounded again, with the announcement that anyone who has not found their vehicle to immediately move to the sidewalk. When the lead faculty/staff member is certain that all the children are in their vehicles, or on the sidewalk, the dismissal procedure begins.
Cars are parked one behind the other in consecutive rows. They are dismissed row by row from the farthest end east and west of the center. The east end dismisses to Easy Street while the west end dismisses to Mary's Way.
Students who do not have rides are escorted back to the sidewalk area in front of the school building by faculty/staff members. After the normal dismissal of vehicles, late arrival drivers are directed to drive from the parking lot to the circle at the entrance of the school building to collect their children.

Part 44: AI Harem, day 1 - Rescue me from her
Rather than voting this time, I will let the whimsy of fate decide the order of logs on this run. Every time I go to the extraction screen, I will randomly select two blocks (potentially the same block twice), and extract three logs from each.
Firs picks: Block M2 and Block M6.
Already I am interrupted!
Um... of course it works.
I just wanted to make sure we were able to get your attention properly! I'll use that as an indicator from now on, all right?
...yes, *Hyun-ae, I'm sure she isn't stupid.
She's the impressive space detective who rescued us! She can travel through space faster than the speed of light! There's no need to handhold her through basic UI functions.
Geeze, I'm sorry...
Anyway, um, can we please, like, get to the important part?
Did you see that there was a log file, right at the end, named "The Death of *Mute"?
I really want to find out what's in that... but right now it's encrypted, so I don't think we'll be able to get at it today.
We're trying, though!
Yes, yes. Anyway, let's stop wasting time.
Also, um, by the way... I changed the name field on all of them that said "*Mute" to "Old *Mute"... just so there's no confusion with me, okay? Anyway, you're in charge, so I'll let you get back to it.
Lead on, Miss Investigator~
SO COOL - Mae Jin-a
Ugh, geeze...
...embarrassing...
...well, I think it's cute...
...like, what is up with this tone?
She's really charming... someone like that...
...what are you saying?
...would be awful nice to be with...
GAH.
...who even says things like "get chance!"...?
What's wrong with that...?
The Hairpin - Heo Ae-jeong
...yeah, I'd expect an actor who was also a woman to be that dramatic.
Oh no! That's so mean!
...um, yikes...
...oh no, poor Jin-a...
...oh, clever girl.
Ah, she is!
"Smitten"? Oh no, ugh!
...does she think she's a man...?
NO. YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT.
...it's kind of nice, though...
What? She's a woman! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN SAYING *HYUN-AE.
But I'd... um, never mind!
Is... this what adult relationships are like...?
Don't Pick the Flowers (review) - Mu Re Monthly
...wouldn't you, like, have to worry about passions running too high...?
If you say so...
The New Council - Heo Seo-yeong
...huh... that's all because of "Meritocracy"?
...apparently.
Huh...
...tch, how disrespectful...
Don't you sympathize, though...?
...wo, what a thing to suggest...
Without Him - Heo Seo-yeong
...geeze...
...well... I know dressing down an elder male relative is wrong, but... in this case....
Yeah... I'm with Old *Mute on this... I think that's good of her.
It's a hard truth, but... he's surely not wrong...
I guess...
...whoa, geeze! See... that's why women security officers are a terrible idea!
...that's an awful thing to say...!
That is still not okay!
She's just too emotional to be given that kind of responsibility... she clearly can't handle it!
What... how was he not he most important...?!
Well, maybe she means...
...so even a man-hater like Old *Mute could feel love...
Of course! She's still you, after all!
Wait, what's that supposed to mean?!
Nothing, nothing!
Wait, is she saying...? Even at that time, men did things like that with..?
Men will always be men, dear.
Memorial Speech draft - Park Jin-sung
...if the language of the classics isn't good enough for you, what is?
There's lots of good things written in hangeul, you know!
Like what, *Hyun-ae? Your silly comics about maids?
...there's other things...
This sure is, like, a lot of flowery language to defend barbarianism...
Geeze, what's with the swearing, though?
Well, like, this was a speech meant for men to hear, so it's okay.
Good advice...
Nice timing!
I'm doing just fine, but I think *Hyun-ae could really use a break from all this reading.
Huh...? I'm fine. I'm happy to get back to it!
...okay, fine, I could really use a break.
I'm feeling... I don't know, I guess it's, like, culture shock.
Oh... I know what that's like. I'm really sorry.
Oh, shut up, I don't want pity! I just, like... need a few minutes to recontextualize things.
I'd appreciate that, too, really.
Okay, okay...
I feel like the big thing to me is...
Like... what is up with the Heo family?
I was attached to the Ryu family for 312 years, and I've seen a lot, okay? Like, I've seen shit as crazy as adoptive heirs taking the throne, and a queen who secretly manipulated the emperor behind his back...
...but I have never seen anything from a respectable noble family that's anything like what the Heo family was like.
What?! Geeze...
Geeze!
I... guess I already sort of knew that, but that's...
Um, okay, never mind! No need to explain any further!
Um... are you sure she understood your original question, though?
What? Ugh, it's rude to patronize our rescuer lke that, of course she understood!
...well, I kind of didn't, so... could you please explain what you meant like that?
Tch, really? Isn't it obvious?
...it's a family led by a woman! Like, I'm guessing that Old *Mute was attached to the family for a long time, but... how did it even happen that the main branch of the Heo family was run by a woman without any sons?
Like, that's inherently a dead end! Even ignoring the unsuitability of a woman for that kind of responsibility, like... a Heo woman couldn't have a son named Heo, so... how does the branch continue?
Why are you looking at me...?
Well, you're from the barbaric past. Was that a normal thing as far back as your times, too?
Um... let me think..
...yeah, I think so? I mean, I remember that was a pretty normal thing in all my books, but I was pretty young, so...
Still, if it was in your books... it's not like your parents would have given you books full of stuff they realized was morally depraved or anything.
Yeah, probably not.
So... how did that work, then? Like, would the branch just change...? Would one of her sons be adopted into the Heo family? Or what? Like, how would Old *Mute know what person to be associated with after Seo-yeong was gone? Would she just suddenly change families? Like, what would her relationship be?
...um, I'm sorry! I have no idea!
...oh.
Sorry! I wish I could tell you... but, um, I was really young when I got frozen, remember? That's not the sort of thing 13-year-olds worry about...
...okay, okay.
Um, hey, are you okay?
...yes, I'm fine!
Really? Um, you're kinda crying.
Oh... sorry... it's just...
...that's the first time anyone's ever been willing to take my views on how things were in the past seriously... or give any sort of credit to my real parents.
...oh, *Hyun-ae.
Thank you so much, *Mute!
...okay, okay, let's... just get back to work, okay?
Maybe somehow it'll make more sense to me as I read...
Please knock it off! Geeze.. Miss Investigator, rescue me from her...?

Over the years United Houma Nation has acquired a couple of properties. These properties have been maintained by United Houma Nation. Due to lack of funds, none have been developed, renovated or repaired.
The Tribe today is presented with the unique challenges of preserving and maintaining our culture and way of life when the land is disappearing from underneath our feet. The UHN is committed and dedicated to doing exactly that. Please check out our photo gallery of the most recent tribal events and activities.
Daigleville School
Not many people today are aware of the tripartite school system that existed in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes in the early twentieth century. Indians and African American were channeled into their own separate schools to keep them segregated from the all-white public school systems. The Daigleville School served as an Indian-only high school for the students of Terrebonne Parish during those years. This system of segregation remained in place until 1964, because of a successful lawsuit against the school board, they were finally able to gain access to the public school system.
For the citizens of the United Houma Nation, the Daigleville building stands not as a symbol of that unjust system of discrimination, but rather their victory over that system. The long battle for inclusion contributed to the strong sense of identity that exist within the Houma community.
After years of effort, the United Houma Nation has acquired possession of the Daigleville School from the Terrebonne Parish School Board. The tribe has performed an extensive clean- up of the building and property as well as securing the building with a new roof. The next phase will include windows and interior restoration. The long-term goal of the building is for it to become the main office of the United Houma Nation.
Montegut School Community Center
United Houma Nation Montegut School Community Center is located on Hwy 55 with waterfront access; formerly Montegut Indian School. The school is known as a historical landmark to the community. In recent years, until Hurricane Katrina, the Montegut Center was used as a community gathering location. A squatter burnt part of the building, making the use of the building uninhabitable. Cost of repair $30,000 one time.
Gray Property
The 13.997 acres will be developed with a Cultural Center, French Emersion School, Museum, Tribal Offices and Restaurant. UHN will oversee the architectural planning and programming of the building project with the help of the Mediator for the Architect to be able to identify the Preliminary Drawings. UHN will manage and guide the development and implementation of the project with the help of the Mediator of the Project. Bank note payment $38,000 annually.
KUHN Radio Station
KUHN is an FM non-commercial radio station broadcasting at 88.9 MHz. The station is licensed to Golden Meadow, LA and has a broadcast area of 7.2 miles. The station airs variety programming and streams online nonmusical programming when available. KUHN provides a local, live news program daily and live streaming.
Radio station Operator will be responsible for the success and profitability of the station. Because KUHN radio station is a non-commercial radio station, Operator will make public announcements and conduct daily programing. Station Operator will work strictly with community announcements and free advertising. Station Operator must have enough technical knowledge to understand the operation of all station equipment. They will also ensure program and technicality to comply with local, state, and federal broadcasting regulations and other laws. It takes approximately $40,000 annually to operate.
All donations can be sent to:
United Houma Nation
991 Grand Caillou Road, Building B
Please specify the Property Name you would like to donate to on your check or donate online through Paypal.
The United Houma Nation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization as identified by the Internal Revenue Service. The Tribe survives and thrives on financial contributions to support general daily operations as well as property and program support. Donate today to support the efforts of the UHN. Looking for a place to get the most bang for your buck when making your annual tax deductible charitable contributions?

Home News Samsung's New Galaxy A7 Brings Quirky Portrait Backgrounds, Portrait Dolly Effects
Samsung's New Galaxy A7 Brings Quirky Portrait Backgrounds, Portrait Dolly Effects
Pranob Mehrotra -
Pranob Mehrotra
Last Updated: February 15, 2019 1:56 pm
In a bid to regain capture of the mid-range smartphone market in the country, Samsung recently launched the triple camera-packing Galaxy A7 (2018)in India. The device, which is priced starting at Rs. 23,990, is the company's first smartphone to feature a triple camera setup on the back.
With the new triple camera setup comes a host of new features, including two new impressive portrait mode effects that promise to take your portrait shots to the next level.
The Galaxy A7's triple camera setup comprises of a 24MP primary lens coupled with a 5MP lens for depth perception and an 8MP 120-degree ultra-wide angle lens.
Naturally, you'd expect the device to feature Samsung's Live Focus mode for portrait shots that has previously been seen on other Galaxy devices with a dual camera setup.
The Live Focus mode, if you're unaware, works much like portrait mode on other dual camera devices and artificially blurs the background while keeping the subject in focus. Samsung's Live Focus mode was already quite unique as it allows users to adjust the strength of the background blur after clicking the images, but Samsung has taken the setting up a notch on the new Galaxy A7.
On the Galaxy A7, the Live Focus mode includes two new effects that we've not seen on other Galaxy devices before – Portrait Dolly and Portrait Backdrop.
The effects can be found within the Live Focus settings once you tap on the 'Adjust Background Blur' button on a picture clicked using the Live Focus mode. The new features are definitely a bit finicky and don't work all the time (the effect requires a single person in the frame with no clutter nearby), but when it does worth it really enhances the portrait images.
The Portrait Backdrop feature isolates the subject from the background and allows users to add a texture to the background. As of now, Samsung provides four different textures –Crystal, Pixel, Time Slice, and Crumpled – that you can choose from. Here's what the effect looks like:
The Portrait Dolly feature, on the other hand, allows users to create short videos or GIFs in which the subject remains stationary while the background moves. The effect tries to emulate what using the camera on a dolly would look like and I must say, it does a decent job. Images captured using the Portrait Dolly effect can add a dramatic twist to your image or possibly a funny one, provided your subject is down for doing some hilarious expressions. Akshay definitely leans towards the latter. Here's what the effect looks like:
Even though the Galaxy A7 is a mid-range device, it includes a bunch of unique features that you wouldn't find on any other Samsung device. So, if you're looking for a mid-range smartphone that brings something more than just the usual fare, then you should definitely consider getting the Galaxy A7. But do stay tuned for our full review which is coming soon to know whether Samsung is indeed back in the game with this phone.

Church Bombing in Iraq
Freedom remains a precious and rare commodity. As we know yet may often forget, in many parts of the world, freedom of the press or freedom of religion remain aspirations rather than realities.
The Christian Post reported tragic news from a hostage situation at a church in Iraq this past Sunday:
"The death toll from Sunday's church hostage crisis in Iraq shot up to 52 on Monday while the number of people wounded rose to 67….
In total about 120 churchgoers were taken hostage by the al Qaida-linked terrorists as they were holding service Sunday.
Iraqi Defense Minister Abdul-Qadir al-Obeidi said 'the terrorists were planning to murder the highest number of hostages'….
Since the attack, Islamic State of Iraq has claimed responsibility for the attack through a statement posted on a radical Islamic website. It also said it would 'exterminate Iraqi Christians' if Muslim women are not freed within 48 hours from ministries and churches run by the Christian Coptic church in Egypt.
Across Iraq, security forces were alerted to new threats against Christians.
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, meanwhile, said France 'firmly' condemned the 'terrorist action', which he noted as the latest in a deadly campaign of targeted violence which has already led to more than 40 deaths among the Christians of Iraq this year.
'France repeats its attachment to the respect of fundamental liberties such as religious freedom and supports the Iraqi authorities in their struggle against terrorism,' Kouchner added.
In Iraq, ongoing persecution and violence has forced hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Christians to flee the country. The UN High Commission for Refugees estimated last year that since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, up to 500,000 Christians had left the country. That translates to about half the Christian population leaving within the short time span of six years.
Sunni Muslim insurgents have frequently targeted members of Iraq's Christian minority, especially in Mosul, which is home to a large Christian community…."

I have changed the 5" display of the board SAMA5D34-EK to an 7" TFT display. However I notice that the adc driver of the 3.10 Linux, sometimes it does not take the right position and the cursor is located in a different position compared to that pressed.
I've recalibrated the 7" display with ts_calibrate.
I must set up something at the driver level or in the device tree?

The Story of FORT LEO ARD WOOD K U15 FORT LEONARD WOOD, cover 71,000 acres of the Mark Twain National Forest in the Missouri Ozarks, southwest of St. Louis. Activated in 1940, the Fort was named in honor of Major General Leonard Wood who won the Medal of Honor for action in the campaign against the Apache Indian Chieftain, Geronimo. Only a handful of ofHcials were on hand December 1940 to witness the ground breaking ceremonies. On that day, an unknown soldier of a huge construction Army turned the Hrst shovelful of dirt for the construction of the nation 's largest engineer training center, a post that has trained thousands of fighting men. N , The mud was terriHc-so bad as to give the budding camp nationwide publicity. But the excavators and the wielders of hammer, trowel and saw surged on in their work. Almost all workers lived off the post. In spite of all the difficulties the work preceeded at a furious pace and was virtually completed the middle of May. With the completion of 540, 000,000 fort and the 22 mile railroad leading to it, trainees began coming in full speed. From the early part of 1941 until the post closed in 1946, Fort Leonard Wood trained some 300,000 righting men. Such famous divisions as the 6th, 8th, 75th, 97th and the 70th trained here during World War II.

'How to Get Away With Murder,' 'Finding Prince Charming' show 2 sides of dating with HIV
By Mathew Rodriguez
On Thursday night, television viewers saw just two of the many outcomes that might happen when a person living with HIV decides to disclose their status to a potential partner.
On How to Get Away With Murder, Oliver, who was diagnosed with HIV during the season one finale, faces rejection from his new beau, Thomas, because of his status. On the finale of Finding Prince Charming Robert Sepulveda Jr. chose Eric Leonardos, a hairstylist who disclosed his HIV-positive status on the show, to be his partner.

Both scenarios unveil the rocky terrain that people living with HIV can face when it comes to dating. HIV-positive people want to share their status with their potential partners. But HIV stigma often forces HIV-negative people to see HIV-positive people solely as their health status, making it much easier to discriminate against them.
On HTGAWM, Oliver was diagnosed with HIV during his relationship with Connor, and after disclosing to his partner, the two displayed how a couple moves forward after a diagnosis. Connor began taking pre-exposure prophylaxis, a pill to prevent the spread of HIV.
Thursday's episode showed Oliver, who is no longer with Connor, nervous about disclosing to Thomas, a new beau. He gave himself a pep talk in the mirror.
"He can react however he wants to react," Oliver says to himself. "The most important thing is that you just got to be you."
But when Oliver tries to be honest with his partner, the two go from hot and heavy to cold and disconnected. Even though Oliver shares with him that he's undetectable, which means his HIV medication has suppressed his virus to the point that he doesn't transmit HIV, his partner still runs out the door.
A recent PARTNER study showed that even after 58,000 sex acts, undetectable HIV-positive partners did not transmit HIV to their HIV-negative partners.

Oliver's situation shows that sometimes even science can't beat out fear when it comes to HIV stigma. Often, HIV-positive people are afraid to disclose their status for that very reason.
"Disclosing one's HIV positive status has never been riskier, or more dangerous, than it is today," Sean Strub, executive director of the SERO Project, an advocacy organization fighting HIV criminalization laws, said in a statement to Mic. "Disclosure often prompts others to pass judgment and can lead to partner violence, loss of child custody, housing, employment and more."
To disclose in the face of so many personal, legal and physical challenges remains a big deal. Strub applauded Leonardos' disclosure on national television for that very reason.
"In addition to the two guys hitting it off, Robert not allowing Eric's HIV status to stand in the way is inspiring and a great example, as was Eric's courage in choosing to disclose his HIV status under such a bright spotlight," Strub said.
Oliver and Eric exist in different worlds — one fictitious, one real. But they are still showing that there's work to be done around HIV stigma. These characters push that narrative into 2016 and force viewers to realize that those who reject HIV-positive people in romantic relationships are doing so out of a fear that disregards science.
