FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
HAND, District Judge.
This cause is before the court on the motion for summary judgment filed by defendants City of Fairhope, Board of Trustees of the Fairhope Public Library, James Nix, David Ed Bishop, Robert Mason, H. B. Shepherd, Samuel E. Box, Jack A. Stipes, Billy Don Wiggins, Trisha Nelson and C. O. McCawley (sometimes referred to collectively as "City of Fairhope"). The City of Fairhope seeks summary judgment on each claim asserted by plaintiff Hilda Claire Oaks (Oaks) on the ground that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the City of Fairhope is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Oaks subsequently responded to the motion for summary judgment as required by Local Rule 8 of this court.
In connection with her termination as director of the Fairhope Public Library, Oaks generally asserts a spate a federal civil rights and employment discrimination claims as well as state law defamation claims. The court is cognizant that summary judgment is perhaps "particularly inappropriate" in employment discrimination cases, because such cases necessarily involve examining motive and intent. Summary judgment should be used cautiously in such cases and all procedural requirements should be given strict adherence. See Bullard v. OMI Georgia, Inc., 640 F.2d 632 (5th Cir. 1981); Hayden v. First National Bank of Mt. Pleasant, 595 F.2d 994, 997 (5th Cir. 1979).1
In considering the motion for summary judgment, this court may not adjudicate factual issues. This court's duty is to determine whether or not there is an issue of fact to be tried. Hayden v. First National Bank of Mt. Pleasant, 595 F.2d 994 (5th Cir. 1979). Voluminous discovery has been conducted in this action. Twelve depositions (with exhibits) have been filed with the court; additionally, several affidavits and documentary exhibits have been submitted in connection with the motion for summary judgment. In reviewing the record, this court has viewed the facts together with all inferences drawn from the facts in the light most favorable to Oaks (the party opposing summary judgment). See Adickes v. S. H. Kress & Co., 398 U.S. 144, 90 S.Ct. 1598, 26 L.Ed.2d 142 (1970); 6 Moore's Federal Practice ¶ 56.153 (2d ed. 1976). The court has fully heeded the admonition of the Supreme Court in Arlington Heights v. Metropolitan Housing Development Corp., 429 U.S. 252, 266, 97 S.Ct. 555, 564, 50 L.Ed.2d 450 (1977):
Determining whether invidious discriminatory purpose was a motivating factor demands a sensitive inquiry into such circumstantial and direct evidence of intent as may be available.
Cognizant of the sensitive nature of Oaks' claims, the court has strictly adhered to the procedural requirements of summary judgment. This court may not, however, ignore the clear dictates of Rule 56, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. No civil action is immune from summary adjudication. See 6 Moore's Federal Practice ¶ 56.15(8) at 56-641 (2d ed. 1980); First National Bank of Arizona v. Cities Service Co., 391 U.S. 253, 289-90, 88 S.Ct. 1575, 1592-93, 20 L.Ed.2d 569 (1968) (on summary judgment, defendant successfully demonstrated that the facts were not susceptible of the "interpretation" plaintiff advanced). Even in employment discrimination cases, summary judgment will be granted, if appropriate. See e. g., Gatling v. Atlantic Richfield Co., 577 F.2d 185 (2d Cir. 1978), cert. denied, 439 U.S. 861, 99 S.Ct. 181, 58 L.Ed.2d 169 (1978); Sagers v. Yellow Freight System, Inc., 529 F.2d 721, 728 n.13 (5th Cir. 1976) ("the fact that the party opposing summary judgment vigorously disputed the legal conclusions to be drawn from the facts presented by the movant was no bar to the grant of summary judgment"); Anderson v. Viking Pump Div., Houdaille Industries, 545 F.2d 1127 (8th Cir. 1976).
The City of Fairhope is entitled to summary judgment if there is no issue as to any material fact and if the City of Fairhope is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. Although the City of Fairhope must demonstrate the absence of a material factual issue, when confronted with a properly supported motion for summary judgment, Oaks "must set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial." Rule 56(e), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
The Fifth Circuit long ago made clear that this court may not avoid its judicial obligation when presented a properly supported motion for summary judgment:
Litigants have no difficulty finding expressions urging courts to have a due regard for a cautious observance of the requirements of a summary judgment or, if they are appellees, they may find expressions that summary judgments are looked upon with favor. Barron & Holtzoff, however, make the pertinent observation: "Cases voicing such sentiments as that courts should be slow to grant summary judgment and that any errors should be on the side of caution, should be limited to their facts. Rule 56 itself provides that `the judgment sought shall be rendered forthwith if * * * there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and * * * the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.'" 3 Barron & Holtzoff, Federal Practice and Procedure, § 1231.
Bruce v. Travelers Insurance Co., 266 F.2d 781, 786-87 (5th Cir. 1959).
The court has fully considered the pleadings and depositions on file, the affidavits and exhibits filed in connection with the motion for summary judgment, and the briefs of counsel for the respective parties, including Oaks' response to motion for summary judgment (hereafter cited "Oaks Response"). The court concludes that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that based upon the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the City of Fairhope is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.
1. Oaks is the former librarian at the Fairhope Public Library ("the Library"). Oaks was terminated as librarian effective September 30, 1979, and currently resides in Park Forest, Illinois, where she is the librarian at the Flossmoor Public Library. (Oaks at 6)2

Are you a leader or pastor of a Church Group or Youth Group? Are you in charge of the Youth Ministry for your congregation? Probably you are a Scout Chief or Summer season Camp Teacher? No subject what team or business you are element of, are you searching for a enjoyable, interactive game that the youth can play and appreciate? Down below is just one of a lot of particularly enjoyable team video games that everybody will adore. It is referred to as "Bottom Ball" – and as the title implies, it is not necessarily a spiritual game or a Christian game if you will, but it is absolutely a ton of enjoyable, and Church Groups, Scout Groups, Youth Groups – or any team – will appreciate participating in this enjoyable game!
As soon as you get to a high enough level to unlock peas, you ought to plant as numerous of them as probable. They may possibly not give as significantly XP as some slower rising crops, but they develop significantly a lot quicker so you will get far more XP in the lengthy run. For example, if you develop a 20 by seventeen discipline of peas you will get above sixty,000 coins each individual time you harvest and that contains plowing and planting bills. Peas also give very great XP when you harvest them. You can get paid above 6000 XP in a pair days if you perform as significantly as I do.
I recommend separating your farm into various diverse parts and plant crops at diverse times. This way, each individual time you perform Farmville on Fb you will always have some crops to plant, some crops to harvest, and some crops that are still rising. This offers a regular stream of Farmville dollars and XP and you will find a significantly reduced possibility of losing all your crops if you all of a sudden cannot perform for a pair days. It can also assistance you from getting bored performing the identical detail above and above.

Seeing Race in Biblical Egypt: Edwin Longsden Long's Anno Domini (1883) and A. H. Sayce's The Races of the Old Testament (1891)
Debbie Challis
To download this paper, please click here.
This paper discusses the impact of ideas about the historical and racial origins of the Holy Family that are captured in the painting Anno Domini or the Flight into Egypt (1883/4) by Edwin Longsden Long. Anno Domini fits into a wider 19th-century popular visual and literary narrative around Egypt and its ancient and biblical past. This general narrative, and its racial constructions, has been explored within reception theory and art history, but often overlooked in histories of archaeology and Egyptology. This paper unpacks how Anno Domini fits into a well-known orientalist way of seeing Egypt but also reflects ideas about race that were prevalent in archaeology and other newly established scientific disciplines at the time. The construction of the Virgin Mary and Christ child as White Europeans in Anno Domini both reflects and had an impact on constructions of race in Britain and on ancient (and modern) peoples in the Holy Land and Egypt in the late nineteenth century.
These constructions fed the growing use of scientific terminology to give such racist imagery authority, as found in A. H. Sayce's 'Sunday school book' The Races of the Old Testament (1891). Sayce's popular book used photographs taken by the archaeologist Flinders Petrie in 1887 of different 'racial types' from Egyptian monuments. Anno Domini vividly illustrates the preoccupation with race and identity found in archaeological interpretations of and motivations for recording material culture from ancient Egypt. This paper illustrates how art, archaeology, orientalism and racial theory fused and fed each other.

How Do Other People Save For Their Deposit?
You've heard all the savings tips before, but have you seen these tips working in action? Seeing how individuals just like yourself have implemented savings tips could give you the confidence to do the same. The accomplishment of owning your own home is very rewarding and by taking inspiration from others you could be putting your savings towards a home sooner than you think.
Whilst saving for a deposit, you may be stretched for cash. During this time it might be tempting to tide yourself over with a credit card, but it may not be the best place to seek refuge. If you have access to a credit card you may find yourself using it to purchase unnecessary items. Then when the balance becomes due you might need your house savings to cover it. Without a credit card your purchases will have to come directly from your savings which may make you think to yourself "Do I really need this?" Avoiding these little (or big) buys will help you reach your savings goal and get you into that new home faster.
As painful as it sounds, the area that will make the most positive impact on your savings is cutting down on luxuries. You can start by downgrading or cutting out little luxuries and put the money you save on these items into a separate account. It may be a shock to cut down on all your luxuries at once, so start by removing one per month, pocketing the savings and then repeating each month. By the time you have cut down five or so luxuries you will have almost forgotten the first one you eliminated. For example if you normally spend $15 per day buying lunch, then just by bringing food from home you could save yourself up to $3,700 a year!".
Having all these savings is great, but if you are keeping them in the same account as your income and outgoings it could be a recipe for disaster. Instead you could try opening a new savings account for free with your current bank which has limitations on what you can withdraw. This will enable you to keep the funds safe. Make the most of the new account by setting up a direct deposit from your everyday account to the savings account the day after you receive your income. You will be less likely to spend your pay if it goes straight into your savings.
Pioneer Credit Connect Tip: Make sure the account doesn't have a card attached to it, this will make it even harder to access and help you resist the temptation to spend your money.

Q: Django Project for REST endpoints and client view I have a project where I will be creating certain data models, and managing them. I also want to provide functionality to external clients to access and modify this database. So the question is around how to structure various components to achieve this. I have so far considered two options:
Option 1
Create a list of APIs using Django REST Framework, which is a separate Django project.
Create another Django project which does not have any backend of its own, and the rendered templates make AJAX calls to the first project or using COREAPI, to fetch and modify data.
Clients can interact with the first project, and make modifications.
Option 2
Create one Django project, which has the data models, as well as frontend templates. It also exposes certain endpoints using Django REST Framework, which can be accessed by clients for data modification and access.
Which option would you recommend?

A: I'm not telling which one to pick, instead of that i will give idea about both of this. You can take your decision.
Option 1
Pros:

*

*Front-End and Back-End are different, so you can easily handle many requests (Load Balancing).

*Data Security is more in this, because the user cannot change the Data models easily (Data Security).

Cons:

*

*You need two different server to host. (Higher cost)

*Changes and deployment needs to be done in two places. (Extra time)

Option 2
Pros:

*

*Cons of Option 1

Cons:

*

*Pros of Option 1

It depends upon your use case. If you're building some static site with small "Contact us" form data to be saved in DB, you can use Option 2. If you're going to create a site which will have fully dynamic data then go for Option 1. Think and make a decision.

Brandon Kempf – Surviving the Purge 14
Posted on March 27, 2020 by Brandon Kempf
Over the next few months, instead of going with my Three Games articles, I am going to take a look at my collection and try to discuss why certain titles survived the great purge of 2019. During this process I may take a look at some games that didn't survive, but only as a measuring stick for what did survive. Since I am silly, like a lot of gamers, I use Ikea Kallax shelves to display the games that we own. This makes it pretty easy to break things down cube by cube, so that's what we're going to do, twenty-four cubes, plus a top shelf for games that don't fit in the cubes, over the course of a few months. I hope you enjoy!
If you are a BoardGameGeek user, you can also follow along on the Geeklist I created.
Sooooooo, this is the almost embarrassing shelf. I have a bit of an obsession with Modern Art and we'll talk about that later, but I just wanted to be up front, I own too much Modern Art and plus I have two more copies ordered. Yeah, I know, I have a problem.
I am sitting here asking my daughter why Nevermore stayed in the collection. She told me it's because she won that copy at Geekway to the West in a tournament and it's autographed by Curt Covert. When asked if she could describe the game to me, she said, "No, where is it? I'll read the rules a bit and describe it to you later." That's about all I know about it as I have never played it. I believe it's a social deduction game where you are trying to score points or be the last person standing. How you score those points, I really don't know and I probably won't know until she is done playing Overwatch for the evening. So there you go, Nevermore, it stayed in the collection because Gabby said it was staying. 0 plays since ever by me, but Gabby plays it every year at Geekway to the West.
NMBR 9
Man, I absolutely love this puzzle of a game. Dale has you covered here on The OG with the review, it was before my time or I would have happily rambled on for entirely too long about my love of this one. It's a simple premise, tetromino pieces that are in the shapes of numbers are what you are playing with. Everyone has the same thing, two of each number zero through nine. Each turn a number card is drawn and everyone must place that number in their play area. Object is to build up because each level is the multiplier for the number you placed there, so if you have a two on the second level, it's worth four points. Get that eight on the third level and that's twenty four points. Rules are easy, if you build something on the same level it has to be adjacent to another piece and if you build up, the entirety of the piece must be supported by pieces below, no hanging over air. Game ends when all the cards have been drawn and folks have built all their pieces. Stupidly simple game to explain, but damn if the game doesn't have some of the most innocuously aggravating moments of choice. It's perfect and as you all know if you read two posts ago, I love Kingdomino, but if NMBR 9 would have won the SdJ that year, I would not have complained, as it is, it wasn't even nominated or recommended which is a shame as it's a perfect family weight game. As Chris Wray is likely to say if you play the game with him, it's definitely all about that base (that you build). 20 plays since April 2017.
I am waaaay late to the Manhattan train. It won the Spiel des Jahres in 1994 and I first played it in October of 2017, on that old ugly copy that used to be around. Now it's all pretty and while I think the opaque tower pieces make it easier to see how tall the buildings are, I think everything about the new edition is just better. Even though it seems rather tropical for Manhattan, but who cares about that. Chris, who introduced me to the game, has you covered here on The OG with the SDJ Re-Review. Manhattan was made for our group, and especially for me I think. It can be one of the nicest games to play, but if the game is played nicely, ya'll are playing it wrong. You steal as many towers as you can, you sneak in and you take majorities away any chance you get, it's just made to be played that way and we absolutely love it. I've gone for the tallest tower to my detriment more times than I care to admit, just because I didn't want someone else to have it. It can make you make irrational choices because you just want to get even. By far, this is my favorite Seyfarth game. I mean honestly, it should have won the SdJ again the year it was re-released. 11 plays since October 2017.
Primarily I play this on the app anymore, but I learned it and played it first on the table. Star Realms is a nearly perfect two player head to head deck builder that can play more, but I've rarely done so, although one of my favorite Star Realms experiences was a six player game. You are basically building your deck by buying new cards in hopes of reducing your opponent's health to zero before they do the same to you. There are four different colors of cards, aka factions, and each of them has a distinct feel and works really well with other cards of the same factions. It's rare though that you will be able to get all of the same color to play against your opponent, at least if they are paying attention it'll be difficult. It's fun, it plays quick, especially the app and I adore it, but here is my crowning moment for all to see.
Mary has us covered on The OG with a thorough look at Star Realms. 11 logged plays on the table, but I think there are far more. Countless matches on the app, well over 200.
Okay, so Modern Art is a Top 5 game for me and all it is, is a simple auction game about building the best art gallery, which means having the most money at the end of the game. Five different types of auctions, all sorts of bad art, or good art, just depends on which version we play. It can be mathed out almost completely by those who want to do that, but you know what, we don't do that, well, at least not entirely. Our group almost treats this like it's a role playing game, actively trying to persuade others to buy the art by naming the pieces and giving the meaning of the paintings. Sometimes with horrible accents, sometimes while talking trash against the other art pieces and other art museums. Knizia has made something that is so rules light it almost feels like you are just making it up as you go. What I mean by that is that some games are so bogged down by rules that you think that it's the game that makes the fun, but that's not what it is here. Modern Art is fun and exciting because of the people playing it and how they play it. IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE is truly a thing in our group sometimes, with some people. Buying art just because they can, not why they can or whether they should. It's a masterpiece and I don't care what anyone says. The other genius thing that Dr. Knizia has done is that he has created a game that can be made and localized nearly everywhere. There are so many different versions of Modern Art it's almost a collector's dream. I don't like the card game nearly as much, but I keep a copy of it around because it's Modern Art and I'll be buying that new version that I swear I saw something about on BGG, but now can't locate so maybe I am just nuts. 9 plays of Modern Art since 2017 & 5 plays of Modern Art the Card Game since 2015. Plus, 2 plays of Duckomenta Art.
edit: I was wrong, it wasn't on BGG that I saw it, it was on Twitter! Thanks for the help finding it, WEM. https://twitter.com/BoardGameGeek/status/1239088057091006464?s=20

Some nice play in that Star Realms game. Bases FTW.
I got a bit lucky early on with a couple of Raf's choices. I didn't see it then as it was happening, but I noticed it later on. But yeah, once again, it's all about that base. :)

I played Manhattan exactly once, but with a couple who had played a fair bit previously, and I decided that it was a game I didn't want to play again. As I understood it, the focus of each player's turn was to thwart the player to their left. The winner would be the first one for whom their right-hand neighbor failed to thwart properly. Perhaps the game was a victim of group-think for me, but I found it very frustrating and just … yuck.
There is a distinct advantage in going late in turn order in that last and final round, but it does sound like a bit of group think going on there. Yeah, it's not a game for everyone, but it fit us to a T.
ScrappySPJ says:
I really need to get a nice version of Modern Art, the components in the one I have are so ugly it puts me off trying to suggest we play it
There are so many different versions out there, some with actual modern art and others that blend a bit with different styles. The Dice Tree version is spectacular and even comes with an actual gavel.


Tilamsik, CFA's half-hour program on TV Maria, has started production of its second series of stories on Pondo ng Pinoy beneficiaries. The CFA Electronic Media team recently visited the picturesque island of Marinduque and the bustling tourist destination of Puerto Princesa, Palawan to document the Pondo projects being undertaken by both dioceses.
While Palawan boasts of its year-round beach and holiday attractions, Marinduque showcases its unique Moriones festival and old-town ambiance. However, such good fortune is enjoyed only of a small section of the population as the business opportunities are concentrated in a small area while the majority of the locals still live below poverty line.
Acting as overseers and project managers, both dioceses of Puerto Princesa and Boac have engaged in micro-financing projects through their Basic Ecclesial Communities (BEC). The approach facilitated not only a more disciplined implementation and firmer monitoring system but also a stronger sense of unity and community building, stewardship and self-reliance. These values, which became more evident during the interviews of actual beneficiaries and project implementers, will be used as the theme to stitch the different stories together.
CFA first launched its documentary series Tilamsik on TV Maria in mid-2010. A total of twelve episodes were produced for the first series. This new series will consist of another 12 episodes, and will feature inspiring stories selected by the Pondo ng Pinoy Foundation. CFA's production has been made possible with the aid of Missio, Germany.
Tilamsik aims to give the Pondo ng Pinoy programs in different parishes and communities a face, a name and a personal story so viewers can feel the impact of the compassion and solidarity of their neighbors who extend their hand and reach out to the remotest areas and poorest communities.

Our exhibitions are curated collections of the different topics that we are ready to show. These exhibitions are not only highly aesthetic but also serve as a solid educational tool to instill environmental preservation world wide. Each exhibition can be a solo proposal or be combined to create mega exhibitions that have been curated by PhD Eduardo Planchart Licea, the famous Latin American art critic and historian.
H2O is a tribute to water showing our most precious liquid in its many states. This exhibition brings a global friendly way of showing the aesthetic side of water.
Ivan Mikolji from Landscapes to Abstraction
Ivan Mikolji from Landscapes to Abstraction is a natural journey starting with incredible landscapes and then submerging the spectator into waterscapes. The journey continues showing land and aquatic flora and fauna including amphibians, orchids and mammals. Towards the end the spectator is taken into the abstract world of underwater reflections which opens a mind boggling debate with what exists and what does not. The exhibition is complemented with geometrical abstraction paintings and drawings which represent the human way of fusing nature, science and art.
Venezuelan Orchids
Ivan Mikolji's photographs have become paradigmatic images of scientific publications in international books and magazines. They are highly valued both for their compositional beauty, and for having identified various unknown species of fish, wildflowers and orchids, and thus make these biomes known in their vast complexity, as a way of protecting them for their conservation.
A Tribute to Humboldt by Mikolji
Ivan Mikolji has devoted much of his life to photography to make known the biodiversity of the Amazon basin. His exploration projects and documentation stand out the uniqueness of these ecosystems. After more than two centuries since Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) made his epic expedition (1799-1804), this inventory is far from being finished; and many species have not been identified, and possibly never will be, if the tragic environmental impact on these paradises is not stopped.
Aquatic Photographs and Paintings
Ivan Mikolji as researcher and explorer created a photographic language, which is indebted to the refraction of light in water, its transparency, opacity, and physical-chemical qualities.
These photographs are born from an adventure into the unknown. Normally, Mikolji submerges for hours with a mask, snorkel and his photography equipment looking for the wanted frame, and working on each session until to materialize it.
He immortalizes the changing essence of the aqueous to transform it into a visual trap that sometimes perceives water as evanescent matter. The artist has created a visual language, closely linked to aquatic and underwater landscapes, and this is observed in his paintings and drawings as well as in the predominance of curves, angles, geometric shapes and seriality. The line is restless, dynamic echo in the external shapes as well as in the colors that are linked to the kaleidoscopic reflections of light in the water and the bottoms, which characterize many of these works, as evidenced in the series from Altum.
Ivan Mikolji Between Science and Art
Having embarked on more than one hundred expeditions and his work published in innumerable international publications, Ivan Mikolji has demonstrated his authenticity and the originality of his passion for aquatic life, forest worlds, and the sea. Permeating his work is a consciousness of the urgency of maintaining these ecological systems, where life sprouts and upon which survival of contemporary civilization depends. His aesthetic action has turned art to life in a concrete sense. This can be seen in how his photographic actions create exhibition samples, and his wild aquariums (Wild Aquariums) have turned into a global trend.
Water Reflections
Ivan Mikolji turns water reflections into unusual images, thanks to his expertise in using the reflection of light when it goes through the surface of the water; submerged in rivers and seas, camera in hand, he abstracts from time until he finds the angle that reflects the compositions he seeks to confront the public with the photography as art.
Caño Cristales / River of Five Colors
Explorer and artist Ivan Mikolji made a photographic portfolio of Caño Cristales, in the mountains of La Macarena, department of Meta, Colombia. This exhibition is a selection of this hidden place in Colombia, where water becomes a rainbow among rich biodiversity; a natural and biological reserve of humanity. An intense source visitors from Colombia, South America and different continents, in 2016 Caño Cristales had more than 16,000 tourists.

The horrific true story that inspired Netflix's new procedural Delhi Crime
The story of a young woman who died after being raped by six men in a moving bus, shocked the world in its brutality – and a new Netflix police procedural drama series looks at piecing together how the perpetrators were caught and brought to justice.
The new crime series, Delhi Crime delves into the horrific events of December 2012, when a young student was gang raped and her male friend, assaulted as they made their way home after watching the film Life of Pi in South Delhi.
The subsequent rape and eventual death of 23-year-old- medical student Jyoti Singh launched angry protests across India and the rest of the world, and kick-started one of the most important manhunts of the decade.
The bus took an unusual route, and Awindra became nervous. Then the bus stopped, the passengers locked the doors and turned off the lights and attacked Awindra and Jyoti. Awindra was beaten unconscious with an iron rod, and what followed was a sustained sexual and physical attack on Jyoti. Six men took turns raping her, beating and biting her, and sexually assaulting her with the iron rod they used to knock Awindra unconscious. This continued for an hour.
According to The Guardian, Singh initially told the police: 'They tore my clothes and raped me in turns. They hit me with an iron rod and bit me on my entire body with their teeth. They took all belongings, my mobile phone, purse, credit card, debit card, watches, etc. Six people raped me in turns for nearly one hour in a moving bus.'
Afterwards, the men dumped them both on the side of the road. Singh managed to write, 'I want to survive,' on a piece of paper that was later handed to the police. Both Awindra and Jyoti were rushed to hospital.
What happened after the attack?
Jyoti suffered serious internal and external injuries. She suffered injuries to her genitals, abdomen and intestines. Medical experts told the Hindustan Times the men penetrated Singh with an iron rod, which ruptured her intestines and caused severe internal damage.
After five surgeries, on 26 December the Indian government decided to transfer her from a hospital in New Delhi to Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore.
However during the flight there Jyoti reportedly suffered a cardia arrest. Her condition continued to worsen with severe brain damage and infection and she died on 29 December 2012.
Initially, because of victim privacy laws in India related to sexual assault, she was referred to only as 'Nirbhaya,' which translates to 'fearless.'
Later when she died, her mother and father decided to release her name because they hoped that in doing so, it would remove the stigma victims of sexual assault often felt.
How did the investigation unfold?
Within 48 hours of the assault, police identified and arrested four men – Ram Singh, Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma and Pawan Gupta.
Following the initial arrest, two more people were picked up, Akshay Thakur and an unnamed juvenile who was 17 years old at the time of the attack.
The five adult men initially pled not guilty to 13 charges in court, including rape and murder, The New York Times reported.
As the court case continued into March 2013, Ram Singh reportedly killed himself in jail.
On August 31, the juvenile was sentenced to three years in a reform home.
Following months of back and forth in the courts, a judge found all four remaining men guilty, and sentenced them to death.
Chhaya Sharma, then the deputy commissioner of police (DCP) for south Delhi (and renamed Vartika Chaturvedi in the seven-part series) was one of the first to see Jyoti in the hospital, and her decisive action, fuelled by a burning need to see justice prevail and an empathy towards the victim, made sure the crime was a priority for the police.
Richie Mehta, the director of the Netflix series, said a female DCP being on the case was the reason the men were eventually caught.
He told the BBC: 'To me, it all stems down to the fact that if the female DCP was not the first person to arrive at the hospital and did not get a chance to see this victim, and react the way she reacted, they probably wouldn't have caught these guys,'
He added: 'It was her reaction as a human being, as a woman, that marshalled everybody to make this happen.'
Sharma echoed these thoughts.' Being a woman, I think it gave some credence to the case. When it's rape, something happens to me – seeing the critical condition the victim was in, it moved me,' she explained.
What happened to the rapists?
Over the years the men attempted to appeal the death penalty, and in May 2017, and July 2018 the Supreme Court upheld the death penalty verdict.
The juvenile was released from prison after three years of serving his sentence, to many people's anger.
Joyti's mother had compelled the government not to release him, and protests erupted across India following his release.

Yakiudon is a Japanese noodle dish. The noodles are thick and white, commonly prepared with meat and vegetables. According to the recipe or personal taste, different kinds of meat can be used, such as pork belly, chicken, or seafood. It is chopped into bite-sized cubes, and then stir fried. The vegetables included in this dish are shitake mushrooms, onion, cabbage, and carrots. It is seasoned with soy sauce and ginger. The noodles are added last, in order to avoid overcooking them.
Yakiudon is not a bad choice for one on a diet, but depending on the type of meat used, it can be adjusted to the needs of dieting.
The calories in Yakiudon per 360.9g(1 plate) is 415 calories. Yakiudon is calculated to be 115Cal per 100 grams making 80Cal equivalent to 69.57g with 60.05g of mostly carbohydrates、13.32g of protein、11.84g of fat in 360.9g while being rich in vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin K and Molybdenum.

End Rape on Campus Statement in Solidarity with the LGBTQ Community
For Immediate Release: July 27, 2017
Over the last 48 hours, several government bodies escalated egregious efforts to endanger the rights and safety of transgender and queer folks. End Rape on Campus (EROC) condemns this infringement on the civil rights of the LGBTQ community.
On Tuesday night, the Texas state Senate passed a bill restricting the ability of transgender people to use public restrooms that correspond to their gender identity, thereby threatening the right of transgender people to exist safely in public spaces. Yesterday, President Trump tweeted that "the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military." Later that day, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions submitted a brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit arguing that sexual orientation is not protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The suggestion that sexual orientation is not covered by a prohibition on sex discrimination, despite years of case law suggesting otherwise, is emblematic of continued attacks on civil rights by this administration.
Every one of these decisions is individually harmful, but collectively they represent a disturbing trend of government systematically threatening the rights of the most vulnerable. EROC is outraged by the transphobia and homophobia exhibited by officials at the state and national level, including some of the highest offices of our federal government.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that the Trump Administration has made harmful decisions targeting the transgender community. In February, the Department of Education under Secretary Betsy DeVos rescinded guidance that allowed transgender students the ability to use the restroom that matches their gender identity. It is unacceptable for government officials to consistently and strategically disenfranchise the most marginalized members of our nation.
EROC Executive Director, Annie E. Clark said, "These hateful, discriminatory policy decisions at all levels of government, signal to LGBTQ students that somehow their lives are worth less than those of their cisgender, heterosexual peers, and that their government will not protect them. To the LGBTQ community: End Rape on Campus will continue to stand with you in the fight against discrimination, and center your voices in our work to eradicate gender based violence. We are committed to ensuring that all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity can live safely and access education equally."

When size <i>doesn't</i> matter, these small towns win.
Michigan has always been larger than life—from Ford to Ted Nugent, from Sleeping Bear Dunes to that extra piece it swears isn't Canada. The Mitten State's tendency to go big isn't a secret, and Benzie County—a collection of quaint towns on the state's western coast, south of Traverse City—is no exception. Although it's the smallest county in Michigan, it makes up for its lack of land with enough breathtaking views, brisk lakes, and good food to put it right up there with the biggest and best Michigan has to offer (see: Bob Seger).
Layers are a Michigan must. Coat, sweater, hoodie—whatever your preference, your style should be warm. Bring a good camera to capture the leaves and sunglasses to protect the peepers from the sun reflecting off the water.
The drive is roughly eight hours and the majority of it takes place on I-75. This is good news for those who like a straight shot, bad news for people who dislike endless construction. You're going to want to put on some Motown to get you in the Michigan mood—and through Toledo. But fear not: The last hour and a half on the road is two lanes of pure wilderness on M-115, making up for the other six in spades.
Breakfasting: Located in the heart of the coastal town of Frankfort, Crescent Bakery is the perfect way to start your morning, especially if your definition of perfection is coffee with a side of bear claw. Of note: The one-room bakery has splashes of UK decor, so Newport and Covington folks won't feel far from home.
Indulging: The Cherry Hut is a Benzie County staple. It first opened in 1922 and has been dishing out pies filled with the state's signature cherries ever since. Cap off the night with a slice (or, pending your week, an entire pie) accompanied by vanilla ice cream.
A few miles north of Frankfort up M-115, Point Betsie (with the county's landmark lighthouse) is the archetypal Lake Michigan beach, fit for watching the sun coming up or going down while you skip rocks into the water. Sunrises are good for seclusion-seekers, while sunsets are more crowded, but still enjoyable.
If you want something more active, put on some sturdy shoes and get ready to spend the next few hours inside what might as well be an L.L. Bean photo shoot: The 22-mile Betsie Valley Trail extends from Frankfort to Thompsonville (through Beulah), and is your access point for biking, hiking, and taking in the fall up north in all its glory.
Before you start singing "Hang On Sloopy" in protest, hear us out. Ann Arbor is home to much more than the University-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named. Situated about halfway between Cincinnati and Benzie County, that puts it in prime position for a very important thing—lunch. Plus, the city has plenty of attractions to make you forget you still have four hours left behind the wheel. Leave home in the morning so you have an excuse to visit Zingerman's Deli and sit down for their renowned Reuben. Work off your trip to sandwich heaven with a visit to the Hands-On Museum: Its 250 tactile, discipline-spanning exhibits dedicated to science and exploration provide a great break, especially if you're traveling with kids. But don't spend too much time in Ann Arbor: You might fall in love with it and have to have a really uncomfortable talk with Columbus.

Q: Split after some value I have this input:

The Title #14 first 324.36 USD Second-GUY 261 USD Third33 101 USD

and I want to split that string to save in db.
So The title #14 is a title and it might be 1 word or many but all of them has # and some int value (it might be #2222 as well)
and after that title I want to get first and 324.36, Second-GUY and 261 etc. How can I do that?
I know about split and so I can input.Split('#') but I don't know what to do with that int.
on the second side I'll split with USD
first value I want to be: The Title #14
second: first 324.36
third: Second-GUY 261
as it is in image:

A: This could help with the solution
string lsInput = "The Title #14 first 324.36 USD Second-GUY 261 USD Third33 101 USD";
var loMatch = Regex.Match(lsInput, @"(?<title>.*#\d+)\s(?<parts>.*)");
string lsTitle = loMatch.Groups["title"].Value; //The Title #14
var loParts = loMatch.Groups["parts"].Value.Split(new string[] { "USD" },  StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).
   Select(item => item.Trim()).ToList();

Output loParts:
Count = 3
[0]: "first 324.36"
[1]: "Second-GUY 261"
[2]: "Third33 101"

A: Regex Class is very suitable for a task like that, write a pattern and let Regex class to do the job. here is an example that shows how to use Regex based on your string. please read my comments inside the example:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string Target = "The Title #14 first 324.36 USD Second-GUY 261 USD Third33 101 USD";
    var value = string.Empty;
    var pattern = "(The Title) ([#]{1})([0-9]{1,500})";

    if (Example(Target,pattern, ref value) == true)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(value); // output: The Title #14
    }

    pattern = "(first) ([0-9]{1,500}(.)[0-9]{1,500})";

    if (Example(Target, pattern, ref value) == true)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(value); // output: first 324.36, if you want only the number one way is to replace  MessageBox.Show(value); to MessageBox.Show(value.Replace("first",""));
    }

    pattern = "(Second-GUY) ([0-9]{1,500}(.)[0-9]{1,500})";

    if (Example(Target, pattern, ref value) == true)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(value); // output: Second-GUY 261, if you want only the number one way is to replace  MessageBox.Show(value); to MessageBox.Show(value.Replace("Second-GUY",""));
    }
}

private bool Example(string Target,string pattern, ref string value)
{

    System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex reg = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(pattern);
    bool ismatched = reg.IsMatch(Target);

    if (ismatched)
    {
        System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match match = reg.Match(Target);
        value = match.Value;
    }

    return ismatched;
}

6th grader struck by car near school dies
Published: Oct. 11, 2011 at 11:52 PM EDT|Updated: Oct. 21, 2011 at 11:52 PM EDT
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - An 11-year-old boy who was struck by a car near his school on Decker Blvd. on Tuesday afternoon has died, according to the Richland County coroner.

South Carolina Highway Patrol troopers say around 2:40 p.m., 35-year-old Towanda Sumter of Columbia was driving north on Decker Blvd. when she hit Devonte Owens of Columbia as he was crossing the road after school let out.
Owens was transported to Palmetto Health Richland Hospital, where he died early Wednesday morning. Richland County Coroner Gary Watts said Owens died from multiple trauma associated with being struck by a car.
Richland School District Two spokesperson Teresa Riley said Owens was a 6th grader at Dent Middle School. Riley said Tuesday afternoon that the district was "asking that everyone keeps this student and his family in their thoughts and prayers."
Officials said there was no crossing guard at the intersection a few blocks from the school where the boy was hit, outside the school zone. Riley says the district is able to take steps to reduce risk for kids around the busy roadway closer to the school.
"We encourage parents, if they are going to drop their children off at school, to move through the carpool line and to come as early as you possibly can so that the traffic is flowing in a way that it is not disruptive to the other traffic that has to move about in this area," she said.
The school district had counselors on hand Wednesday to help students deal with the tragedy. "They don't tend to ask that many questions, at least not the ones I've talked to," said counselor Shirley Vickery. "But they do when you encourage them they do talk about their memories of him. I think they're kind of protective of him. You know, when there's this kind of accident, some people say well he should have done this, he could have done that. But the kids don't want to have anybody criticize their friend."
The driver of the car was not injured, and no charges have been filed in this accident. The accident is still under investigation by the Highway Patrol.
