An uneven, season-long seven-game road trip will hit the halfway mark for the Denver Nuggets Monday night in Chicago with a rematch against the Bulls.
Denver (11-11) has gone 2-1 on the trip so far, with an impressive 113-99 victory at Madison Square Garden over the New York Knicks potentially building some momentum for the Mile High squad. Led by Nikola Jokić (32 points and 11 rebounds) and Zeke Nnaji (career-high 21 points), Denver used lights out shooting (20-of-43 from beyond the arc) to cruise to the victory in the second half.
MORE: Three takeaways from win over Knicks
Denver now travels to Chicago to take on a Bulls squad that has won three in a row, including a sweep of both New York teams to close last week. The Bulls (16-8) are one of five teams to rank in the top 10 of both offensive and defensive rating this season, while DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine have continued to produce clutch moments for Chicago.
Chicago won the first meeting between the two teams 114-108 back on Nov. 19, a game in which Jokić didn't play.
INJURY REPORT:
JAMAL MURRAY – LEFT KNEE INJURY RECOVERY. OUT.
MICHAEL PORTER JR. – LUMBAR SPINE SURGERY. OUT.
P.J. DOZIER – LEFT ACL SPRAIN. OUT.
BONES HYLAND – HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS. OUT.
AUSTIN RIVERS – HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS. OUT.
BOL BOL - HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS. OUT.
TUNE-IN: 6 p.m. MT, Altitude 2 and 950AM
The battle of Nikolas
Two key absences from the previous meeting back in November came in the frontcourt, with both Jokić and Nikola Vučević missing the matchup in the Mile High City.
Jokić has continued to maintain his MVP level of performance following his return from a wrist injury, while Vučević has found his rhythm as of late, scoring 68 points over his past three games. Both big men are capable of scoring from inside and beyond the arc, but with Chicago adding DeRozan next to LaVine, the ball will often find its way to their hands down the stretches of games, while Jokić continues to be the hub of Denver's offense.
The presence of the two Nikolas will certainly add a new dynamic to the second meeting between the two teams.
Avoiding fouls
The Bulls' offense has thrived in several areas this season, from limiting turnovers to effectively converting from the mid-range. However, one underrated aspect of Chicago's offense has been the propensity to get to the charity stripe.
The Bulls rank fifth in free-throw rate (which accounts for the free throws made per 100 field-goal attempts). In the first meeting back in Denver, Chicago got to the line often and made the most of those trips, going 24-of-24 from the charity stripe in the narrow victory.
Denver has been effective in avoiding fouls this season, ranking seventh in opponent free-throw rate. That trend will certainly have to continue when guarding the Bulls Monday night if the Nuggets hope to slow down Chicago's offense.
Defending inside the arc
Chicago's offense has bucked the recent trend of prioritizing 3-point attempts over mid-range jumpers, as the Bulls have focused on attacking inside the arc this season.
69 percent of Chicago's total shot attempts have come from the mid-range or at the rim, which shouldn't be much of a surprise with the Bulls adding one of the game's elite mid-range scorers in DeRozan during the offseason, while LaVine is capable of getting inside the paint on a regular basis.
Although Chicago hasn't shot well around the hoop (61 percent, which ranks 23rd in the league), the Bulls have converted 44.5 percent of those mid-range attempts, which ranks in the top five. Denver's defense has invited mid-range jumpers as it focuses on limiting attempts from beyond the arc and from inside the paint.
Despite not taking many threes, Chicago has been elite from downtown, ranking fifth in 3-point percentage at 37.5 percent.

Q: json.net returning datetime with T how to not show T i am really new to Json. I have a datetime (Extracted date) in an object and which has the following value
2018-10-10 10:50:00

I am using this specific function from Json.net
JsonConvert.SerializeObject(object)

The returned Json String has letter T in the extracted_date i.e.,
{
    "extracted_date": "2018-10-10T10:50:00"
}

After research I discovered that it could be to do with ISO Format which Json.net converts the date to. How do I not include the letter in the extracted date? Or is it not possible?
I am using VB.Net and used the following code as per one of the comments and still have the same issue
JSONString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(newJob, Formatting.Indented,
                                                            New JsonSerializerSettings With
                                                            {.DateFormatHandling = DateFormatHandling.IsoDateFormat})

A: DateFormatString
Gets or sets how DateTime and DateTimeOffset values are formatted when writing JSON text, and the expected date format when reading JSON text. The default value is "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss.FFFFFFFK".
DateParseHandling
Gets or sets how date formatted strings, e.g. "/Date(1198908717056)/" and "2012-03-21T05:40Z", are parsed when reading JSON. The default value is DateTime.

IsoDateFormat  Dates are written in the ISO 8601 format, e.g. "2012-03-21T05:40Z".
MicrosoftDateFormat Dates are written in the Microsoft JSON format, e.g. "/Date(1198908717056)/".

look here
 JsonConvert.SerializeObject([your object], Formatting.Indented,
                            new JsonSerializerSettings
                            {
                             DateFormatHandling = DateFormatHandling.IsoDateFormat
                            });

A: Based on the one of the comments I have got it working. My code looks like this, hope this will help someone in future.
Dim JSONString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(newJob, Formatting.Indented,
                                                            New JsonSerializerSettings With
                                                            {.DateFormatHandling = DateFormatHandling.IsoDateFormat,
                                                            .DateFormatString = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"
                                                            })

Money market accounts aren't new, nor are they particularly complicated or restricted (in fact, virtually every sizable financial institution offers one), but for some reason most people still do not know a lot about them.
Instead, other asset classes steal their thunder, classes like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exotic instruments like exchange-traded funds, and even certificates of deposits. Yet, to make a truly informed decision for your investments, it's important to know about money market accounts, how they work, and the benefits and drawbacks of each.
A money market account (MMA), also known sometimes as a money market deposit account (MMDA), is a financial account that is based on money markets. I'll explain what those are below. The money placed in a MMA is subject to interest, which is how you grow your wealth.
An MMA is very similar to a savings account. A savings account accumulates interest, but this is paid to you by the banks based off their interest rates. A MMA is based off the interest rates in the money markets. Plus, you can write checks against an MMA (for the most part; more on this later).
A money market is exactly what it sounds like – a market for money. Specifically, the market is made up of financial institutions, like banks, credit unions, and brokerages, who want to borrow or lend money with those who have access to funds. What is being traded in these markets is called paper, which is basically a short-term financial instrument. Paper is used for short-term – less than a year – financial needs. You can think of paper as an IOU of sorts; government entities, corporations, and financial institutions all issue paper as a way of financing short-term needs.
Another way to picture a money market is to imagine a bank coming to you asking for a loan (instead of the other way around). You deposit your money into your MMA. The bank then uses this money, with other money from other people like you, to buy paper in the market. The return on this paper gives the bank a profit, which is divided between you and the other creditors (investors). You receive profit based off the interest rate for the paper.
What Kinds of Paper Can You Find in a Money Market?
A money market has several types of paper that can be bought and traded.
Treasury Bills (T-Bills) are one major type of paper in money markets. These are issued by the U.S. Treasury and are generally viewed as the safest investment securities in the world. These are bonds, and have maturity dates of one year or less from the time they are issued, in three-month, six-month, and one-year increments. At maturity, you are paid the par value (face value) of the bill. Your profit comes from the difference between the par value and the purchase value, which is lower than the par value. This is basically the same as interest.
T-bills are very safe and not subject to state or local taxes. They offer low returns, though, because they do not carry any risk.
Another main type of paper is commercial paper, or, securities offered by corporations as a way to raise money without taking out a loan from a bank. You purchase this paper at a discount, and it matures anywhere from one month to nine months. Most mature between 60 and 90 days, making them an effective way to accumulate money in the short term.
Commercial paper is pretty safe; they're usually only issued by institutions with solid credit ratings. They are unsecured, but defaults are rare. The downside is that they are very expensive for the average individual investor, since one piece of commercial paper is worth at least $100,000 in most cases.
A certificate of deposit (CD) is a financial instrument that has a specific interest rate and maturity term. You place your money in a CD and you know how much you'll receive and when you'll get it. Since it's a time deposit (i.e. it has to be in there for a certain period of time), it's not as liquid as other kinds of investments.
The advantage of a CD is that return is very predictable. Plus, they are very safe, only slightly riskier than T-Bills. They also offer a higher yield than a T-Bill. Additionally, virtually any sizable bank or credit union offers CDs. Finally, they are FDIC insured up to $100,000 and typically beat savings accounts.
The downside is that rates aren't very competitive and yield is small compared to most other assets. Also, you'll have to pay a steep penalty if you withdraw money from your CD before maturity.
A municipal note is very similar to a T-Bill; it is a bond offered by a city to raise money. The city banks on tax receipts or other sources of revenue in the future, and issues notes against that amount to fill in short-term financial needs. You can take advantage of that by purchasing municipal notes at a discount and receiving payment when they mature.
Municipal notes are not as safe as T-Bills, but they are usually viewed as safe, since municipal defaults and bankruptcies aren't very common. Because they are riskier than T-Bills, they generally offer a higher return (depending on where you are). Plus – and this is a big plus – the interest you receive from a municipal note is exempt from state and federal income tax (in most cases). Furthermore, you can trade them as often as you like.
A downside is that repayment is usually contingent on some future source of revenue. This is the case with revenue bonds. General obligation bonds by contrast promise to be repaid as long as the government is solvent, which means they carry less risk and lower yields. With revenue bonds, if tax receipts are significantly lower than expected – as with a recession – it is difficult to pay back municipal notes without risking bankruptcy.
Still, if you compare a municipal note with a piece of commercial paper with the same rate, you'll often see that the total return for a municipal note is higher because of tax advantages.
Finally, there are money market funds, which are basically mutual funds with debt securities instead of stocks. These are groups of debt securities – like T-Bills or commercial paper or municipal notes – that are bundled together and sold to investors. This limits exposure to risk and gives an individual investor the chance to indirectly invest in securities that otherwise would be inaccessible due to their high cost.
Money market funds rarely lose value, but it does happen.
There are more than just these few types of paper traded in a money market, but these are the major ones you will more than likely encounter.
Why Have a Money Market Account?
The main advantage of an MMA is that it offers a higher rate of return than a savings account. Plus, it is far more liquid than a CD. Your money, with a MMA, gathers interest and can be withdrawn as you wish. Other assets, like a CD, do not have this feature.
Money market accounts are great for those who want to avoid the risk of the stock market and do not want to get involved in other types of riskier securities. Investors who also want a simple approach to saving and increasing money, yet want a higher rate than just opening a savings account and receiving a pretty paltry return, turn to MMAs.
For those who want to aggressively grow their funds, though, MMAs probably aren't the best assets. Still, they have advantages for a wide range of savers and investors alike, and have a place even in advanced, aggressive portfolios as a way to hedge against risk.

Re: Your least favorite PW pairings
MiaFeyFan
Basically any pairing that has to do with incest or pedophilia.
COUGHApolloXTrucyCOUGHLarryXPearlsCOUGH
In all honesty, I have nothing against Yaoi/Yuri. I'm a big fan of Yuri myself, but I'm not going to go put every girl in AA together with a girl. If the pairing makes some sense, than I don't see any real problem with it. The thing with Yaoi is that it's fans tend to shove the pairings down peoples throats to much. Let's be honest here; what do you see more of in AA fandom? Yaoi or Yuri? It just has a bigger fanbase. Though the Edgeworth X Phoenix groupies seem to have been backing off lately...
"Having a place to go — is a home. Having someone to love — is a family. Having both — is a blessing."
To be honest, I don't get why people insist in "categorizing" pairings. If I like a pairing, it's not because it's het/yaoi/yuri: it's because I like their interactions, their relationship, their story together... not because they're both male or both female. I like plenty of het pairings, but I also like a lot of yaoi and yuri pairings (not in the AA fandom, but in other fandoms).
I'm not saying that everyone should like yaoi or whatever, but I've seen a lot of people that refuse to even consider liking a pairing because it's yaoi or yuri. So what if it is? Why don't you try getting into that pairing, and see what happens, instead of being so closed-minded?
Anyway, back on topic... I don't really have anything against Adrian/Franziska, but I hate the usual "Adrian hates men, so she MUST be a lesbian" argument. No. Just no. She might be a lesbian, but if she is, she is because she likes women. Not because she hates men. Those don't have anything to do with each other. It's such an obvious concept, why is it so hard to grasp? It just serves to fuel the "all lesbians hate men" myth.
Besides, even if Adrian is a lesbian, that doesn't necessarily mean she likes Franziska, so... yeah. Again, I don't hate the pairing, just the arguments people use for it.

I really can't stand x (sorry, I seriously just think that they shouldn't be together!!)
I also can't stand x (I don't know where that pairing came up but apparently it's very popular...)
oh and please tell me, WHO ELSE IN THE WORLD THINKS THAT THIS:
IS THE WEIRDEST/WORST PAIR?

x was my patron ship. My OTP. Then Trials and Tribulations came around and it drowned a horrible watery death. Now I still like them, but acknowledge they have no way of happening, and this was further proven in Apollo Justice. When I look back on it, he did treat her akin to a sibling/niece, so... maybe it was for the best anyway.
Basically, I support almost anything with canonical backing - even if it's just a one-way romantic interest, like Gumshoe's crush on Maggey - but there are a few pairings that irk me or simply rub me the wrong way.
x is the biggest perpetrator. The only plausibility this pairing has is a one-sided affection that Miles might show Phoenix, but I can't see our spiky-haired protagonist returning it in any circumstance. That aside, I don't like to think Miles is into men either. It's true he shows next to zero interest in females, but this can be chalked up to a variety of reasons - such as his awkwardness where romantic implications are involved (and social ineptitude in general), a dedication to his professional life that pushes the importance of relationship prospects aside, and perhaps even simply having a standard in women that hasn't been met by anyone yet. Since that's all merely conjecture however, it's safer to assume that with a lack of interest shown toward both men and women alike, he's better presumed asexual. The above isn't why I dislike the pairing though, that just describes my view on it. The real reason why I grew to despise it was the amount of people who treated it as canon. I'm sure I don't need to describe why it isn't.
x This felt so shoehorned in I can't even bother with it. I liked Iris, she was admittedly adorable, but there was so little meaningful dialogue between her and Phoenix I couldn't get behind it. They can be classified as canon, but what bonded them precisely? The most I got out of it was that he was smitten by her looks and she grew to love him over their relationship, but if that was the case why didn't she stay by his side? Her sister was incarcerated at some point, meaning there was no danger in her seeking Phoenix out and telling him the truth of what happened. If it was out of loyalty to her sister, she didn't deserve it. It all just seems rather foolish... but that's young relationships for you, hm?
x Anyone: HE IS INCAPABLE OF LOVE. Maybe sexual assault, but NOT LOVE. That is all.

This. So much this. My biggest pet peeve for the Ace Attorney series is the perception that Edgeworth is homosexual. I use to lurk here and read other sites, and whenever people say Edgeworth is gay because he doesn't show any interest in women, I always scratched my head to how that conclusion was made. Yes, it's true that between the likes of the Judges, Winston Payne, Phoenix, and himself, Edgeworth is the only one who isn't smitten by Dahlia's beauty. Yes, it's true that several female characters show attraction to him, but Edgeworth is for the most part, oblivious to it (except for Oldbag, of course). Even if that is true, there hasn't been a single instance in the series where Edgeworth has shown attraction to a male character, either. And no, being appreciative to Phoenix, justifiably so might I add considering that Phoenix has helped Edgeworth on more than one occasion, does not mean they're lovers.
I agree 100% with the three reasons you listed, and although those aren't your main reasons for being against Phoenix/Edgeworth, they are certainly mine.
Shameless advertisement for my Ask Edgeworth blog.

Now I still like them, but acknowledge they have no way of happening, and this was further proven in Apollo Justice.
Not necessarily. We got very little information regarding Phoenix outside of Apollo's POV and Phoenix's own guarded admissions. The idea that Maya, and Edgeworth for that matter, aren't still a big part of his life is just unthinkable to me. Phoenix still has that magatama which used to canonically be referred to as Maya's. Perhaps it was a gift or perhaps she's still in the background. The stack of DVDs is proof she's still there but the "kid" comment is Phoenix just deflecting so he doesn't have to explain things.
The way I figure it he's just keeping his pre-disbarment relationships on the down low. He doesn't need to tarnish the careers of a previously suspected prosecutor and especially not Kurain's new Master. Seeing her cavorting with the "forging attorney" would ruin Kurain just like DL-6 and he would never do that to her. Who knows what else his "secret missions" entailed?
I'll tell you my head canon, though. How do you think the Jurist System got put in place when it was developed by a disbarred fraud? Another very influential attorney and a spirit medium with ties to the government probably had a hand in it.
That aside, I don't like to think Miles is into men either.
I quite agree. In 3-5 and AAI when we actually get to hear his thoughts we can see glimpses of his inner workings. For example:
"I may have to talk to this "bikini lady"... I mean, "decisive witness" myself..."
It's not proof of anything but the wording is interesting. He's having to remind himself that he's talking to a witness, not just a chick in a bikini. His anger at Gumshoe for not clarifying that it's actually a portly old woman is also telling. Way to get his hopes up, Gummy.
Another thing is in 5-2 before you're allowed in the stewardess lounge. I don't have the exact quote on hand but he thinks how he'd like to see what's in that room... not that he has such interest in such things. At first glance it might seem like a confession to the opposite, but the pause is what's interesting here. He's reminding himself to be professional. Rhoda's own obvious affections only fan the flames.
On the other side of things, Phoenix is definitely straight. If anything, he's just cautious around the idea of a relationship considering his last one ended in attempted murder.
For starters: Dahlia. Hard to pin the homosexual tag on someone who has canonically had a girlfriend. His mushy love for Dollie is sickeningly unmanly but it's still the direct opposite of gay.
Secondly, 1-2 if you accuse Grossberg of him and Redd White being lovers. Phoenix comes out and says that man love is something he just can't understand. Also in 1-2 is Phoenix blushing profusely at the flirtations of April May (and his desire to get to her bottom... you know what he means). This is mirrored in 3-2 when he can't stop blushing around Dessie Delite... until Pearl gives him what for.
There's also 2-2 where Phoenix is absolutely disturbed by the idea of being Max's "sweetie."
I can't believe I typed so much on the sexual preferences of video game characters. Someone stop me. The point I'm making is this: pairings should have some actual canon influence.
It's shipping. I don't think you're the first person to put that much thought on a characters sexual preferences, espacially Edgeworth's But yeah, I agree with everything you guys have said about Miles not being gay. I think asexual suits him the best, anyhow. Though if i DID put him together with someone...RHONDA RHONDA RHONDA!!!
Also, with all the evidence of Phoenix NOT being gay, how can anyone really believe than Miles X Nick is canon? I don't see anyone calling them boyfriends in any AA game. If you wanna call something canon, say Gumshoe X Maggey or Mia X Diego. Those are the most canon things in AA, unless I'm forgetting a ship?
@MiaFeyFan: So what's your OTP, then? I know it's probably listed somewhere in this thread, but goodness, not quite up to the task of seeking it out. Haha.
@Lionheart: That's another point, the fact that Miles simply does not notice that women find him attractive. He is oblivious as hell. He's that one guy where, if a girl comes up to him with two concert tickets and asks him if he knows anyone who might want to go with her, would direct her to an acquaintance of his or say he didn't know anyone under the assumption that she couldn't possibly be asking him. That's what I think in any case, and his interactions with females in-game would support that logic.
As for Dahlia... that he wasn't overly smitten with her only raises my respect of him. After all, what had she done to earn his own? She sits there and looks pretty, makes some tempting expressions if she wants to turn men into putty in her hand, but someone who, say, doesn't hold beauty as the highest quality in a partner wouldn't be swayed by it. Surely you know some men who don't just bend over for a pretty face on command, because they haven't done anything to deserve it as a person? Yes? To put it more bluntly, he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who'd want to bang the first nice pair of legs that comes on scene. Besides, he did become a tad defensive if Mia made her too upset, if I remember correctly. He is a gentleman, after all.
@nevertalk: I also speculated that Maya was the one who sent Phoenix the Samurai Series DVDs. However, I disagree with believing that she's lurking somewhere in the shadows. She probably did just really send them to him, likely from Kurain where she's, as you said, practising as Master. It wouldn't be unlike Phoenix to refer to her as a kid, since he always viewed her as immature and childish-looking. Even if he was keeping interactions with her on the downlow, there's no way that Trucy wouldn't of had the chance to meet with her at some point. If she had, that means their relationship is still platonic, because at some point Trucy asked Phoenix when she was "going to get me a new mommy." Don't get me wrong, I wish you were right, but it just seems so highly unlikely. I'm not ruling out the possibility that Miles and Phoenix still casually keep in touch however, and it could very well be the influence of someone like Miles who helped such a system be stated.
As to the Miles discussion... I found those instances very amusing myself. The famous bikini lady conversation did strike me as having the same implication that you gleaned, but the flight attendants' lounge monologue was a little more ambiguous to me.
Spoiler: Dialogue from AAI, Case 2
Teneiro: This door leads to the flight attendant's room.
But please understand that it's off limits to unauthorized personnel.
Edgeworth: (The room is giving off the scent of women's perfume.)
(One would think that perfume would "smell great", however, to me it simply "smells"...)
(Not that I have any interest in what lies behind this door...)
Teneiro: Perhaps we should return to the investigation, Mr. Edgeworth?
Edgeworth: Hm................
Teneiro: Mr. Edgeworth?
Edgeworth: Sorry, I spaced out for a second there.
Actually, rereading it, it does seem to carry that sort of meaning... but maybe that's only after considering your view. I know when I first played through this part I wasn't sure what I thought of it, to be honest.
As for the part about Phoenix, I agree 100%. There's literally nothing I could add to that. Despite all this, however, there are still those who would try to tell you Phoenix and Miles are obviously gay for each other. Obviously indeed.
But walls of text on the sexual preferences of fictional characters is fun! Particularly when it's such a controversial subject.
@gallowscalibrator Oh, my OTP is Mia x Diego/Godot
Followed by Franziska X Adrian and Apollo X Vera. But Miego is absolute!
*waves X flag high in the air.*
On topic, I've also recently gotten a dislike for Gavincest. Probably because I hate Kristoph. With a burning passion. And incest doesn't really spark my interest in shipping fandom.
Mia and Diego/Godot is fabulous. I love the official art of them together. They just seem to complement each other so well. Their love was/is as burning hot and passionately tasty as the earthen dark depths of sweet mocha!
... Yes. I just did that. Ahem.

x This felt so shoehorned in I can't even bother with it.
I don't want to get too into this since this isn't the debate thread, but I've noticed a lot of people say this while being perfectly fine with Mia/Diego, which was at least as "shoehorned".
Franzise Deauxnim wrote:
I agree. And I can't see the "love" between Mia and Diego, honestly. Sure, Diego loved her (or so he said), but did Mia really return his feelings?
Honestly, no one ever seems to take Mia's feelings into account when it comes to this pairing. People just assume Mia loved Diego, when she never said she did, and there's no proof she did either.
I suppose what makes Diego and Mia more realistic to me is that since you didn't get much time with Mia nor had insight as to her thoughts, her past remains more shrouded in mystery and it's perfectly understandable that a lover wouldn't of been brought up.
There's no such saving grace with Phoenix and Iris. Not until the third game do you even so much as hear the name "Dahlia", which is likely just because the storyline for that game hadn't even been conceived of yet, but it still makes the shift hard to adjust to. I can give it some thought as to how it would realistically occur that way, though - Dahlia was a bad memory therefore he wouldn't ever be trying to be reminded of her. Still, even if you like the pairing, you have to agree it was a very sudden thing to come to terms with. I'll also admit that I'm probably biased since I was a supporter of Maya and Phoenix until that game.
There's definitely proof Mia returned Diego's feelings. For one thing, she was dating him. That doesn't have to mean it's full-blown love, but it suggests romantic affection at the very least. In addition to that there's official art of them together. Let's not forget her animosity toward Dahlia because of what she was responsible for, either. They were canon, absolutely. I can understand if it's not one's cup of tea, though, because yes, Godot did kind of appear out of no where and people probably had their own ships for Mia beforehand. Heck, I personally thought she dug Phoenix before her death, what with inviting him out for drinks and everything. Sounds like a date to me.

Wait, were they really dating? As far as I know, that isn't stated anywhere in the game (I'm not entirely sure since it's been a while since I played T&T, but I think it's implied at best). Anyway, even if they really were dating, that doesn't really mean Mia loved Diego. Heck, the way their relationship is portrayed, it seems to me Mia's love for Diego was purely carnal. Honestly, in my own headcanon, they were little more than friends with benefits.
I'm not saying that it isn't canon (it is), it just bothers me how everyone goes "oh, I love Diego/Mia! Diego loved Mia so much!", and then ignore Mia's feelings entirely.
This is just my own interpretation, though. And no, I don't ship Mia with anyone else. I just wish their relationship had been portrayed differently.
It was stated in the game, yes. There are also hints here and there that Mia cared quite a bit about Diego, but nothing explicit. So in that regard you're right. I honestly blame that moreso on a lack of viewed interaction between the two of them, since most of the content we got was from before they'd started dating and nothing at all outside of court. Yet I realize if I'm going to use that argument, then it could also be applied to Phoenix and Iris, since if we'd gotten to view more of their interactions while in University there might be more to become attached to.
Then again, if they did that, it'd probably be all too obvious that Dahlia and Iris weren't quite one-in-the-same and preemptively spoil a major part of the game.
EDIT: Never mind. My post was getting way to off topic anyways.
I also dislike X . I don't get the want for a pairing like this >_>

Almost their entire relationship is restricted to the end credits. In JFA Franziska sent Adrian a letter saying she could consult her with anything. This was after Edgeworth mentioned their similarities. Adrian built a false self in the image of Celest and Franziska did the same to uphold the Von Karma name. The difference being that Adrian, after being exposed, built a new self and probably sought help. Franziska clung to her pride and stormed out of the courtroom with intentions of throwing away her career. Perhaps that letter about consultation was Franzy's own prideful way of seeking help for herself but whatever the case, it was Franziska von Karma of all people being personable.
In the T&T credits, Adrian is receiving whip lessons. Kinky euphemisms aside, Adrian and Franziska never even saw each other in T&T and were linked during the credits anyway, enforcing the idea of a relationship. I don't necessarily mean a romantic one, but they are most assuredly friends at least.
The idea of Franziska's icy shell warming up to someone probably causes a lot of people to take that extra step to viewing it as romantic. The two women struck a bond and there are a lot of undertones suggesting Adrian is a lesbian (whether she herself realizes it or not). It might have been her disorder talking but the way she spoke about Celest went way further than friendship or respect for a mentor. People will then take this and project it on Franziska, despite what the prosecutor's feelings may or may not be.
I'm not saying I see the relationship as a pairing per se but I do see where people are coming from.

Koishi x Flandre.
^I agree with you about the Fradrian thing. I do love the pairing, it's not my OTP though
I'm not to fond of Edgeworth X Phoenix mainly because there are far too many things in the games to back of the claim of Nick being strait. As for Edgey-poo, I like to view him as asexual
Actually, playing through T&T again, I can point out a few spots where you can see Mia's feelings towards Diego. One is the most obvious; when Grossberg says "It's about that case in which you came to lose your boyfriend" Mia doesn't say much on this issue, but wouldn't that be a bit more than 'implied'?
Two is how throughout the course of 3-1, Phoenix often goes off topic to all the great lovey-dovey things him and 'Dahlia' did together. The interesting thing is that whenever he says these things, Mia goes and punches or hits Mr. Grossberg. For example...
Phoenix:
Dollie's homemade lunches are
just the greatest!
Mmm! Her mini-omelettes are
magically delicious!
Eheh heh heh.
Grossberg:
Yeowch!!
Wh-Why did you punch me in
the jaw!?
Oh! I-I'm so sorry...!
I just felt like hurting
someone all of a sudden!
I've always assumed she did that because it was reminding her of the things she and Diego did together, and she gets mad for not being able to do those things anymore so she goes and punches Grossberg.
A few other things are spread out throughout the game, but it's all really just baseless dialogue between Mia and Godot in court trials. Like at that one part before Maya goes to the witness stand.
Is it really alright...
Mr. Prosecutor?
Godot:
Of course it's alright...
Madame Attorney.
This one conversation between the two of them really gets my wheels turning. I really don't know how to put it...I just find it really...odd. It makes me want to know what was going on inside Mia's head during the trial. I don't even know if it could be considered 'evidence' in how Mia felt.
Also, not every Miego fan only considers Diego's point of view. Actually, in almost every fanfic I've written for the pair, It's Mia's point of view I use. Not that there is much canon stuff for her feelings in the first place.
I think that their whole relationship is up to how the player sees it anyways. But they were a couple; that much is certain.

Let's see...I'm not going to go deep into yaoi pairings, becuase I never ship them and most seem pretty cracky in general, but I'll say that in the yaoi category, I've NEVER liked Phoenix/Edgeworth. I just can't ever see it happening.
As far as straight pairings go, I don't like Kristoph/Vera (I consider it somewhat pedophilic and extremely creepy...), Phoenix/Iris (It's a little too dull for me, and I ship Phoenix/Maya anyway), Apollo/Trucy (Again, pedophilia AND incest), and I'm sure there's more, but I don't feel like thinking right now. xD

Least favorites huh? I have a few that come to mind:
X - As many others pointed out, too many facts lean towards they're straight. And I'm really sick already of seeing it so many times.
X - just... No... That's sick, but I saw it done recently in a fanfic and... Ugh.
X - DEAR GOD NO. It's funny to see Edgeworth's face that clearly states: 'NO WAY IN HELL CRAZY WOMAN!' but that's it.
X - As a bunch of others pointed out, I can't get this one. Really don't like it at all.
That's a few off the top of my head.

Chains and whips excite me
^First let me say that picture terrifies me.
Any sibling ships really squick me. Gavincest, Skyecest and...(is MiaxMaya called Feycest, idk)? I just can't see the appeal of them whatsoever. I can stand TrucyxApollo because for the majority of the game you don't know they're siblings so you might have seen some potential there before the ship was sunk(I kind of did), and considering they themselves don't know it wouldn't be impossible for them to develop feelings for each other down the line. Phoenix should definitely tell them soon before that hiimdaisy comic becomes reality.
I don't like yaoi pairings in general, but I have a specific dislike for both / and / I just get annoyed that two dudes can't be friends without attracting a huge amount of people shipping them romantically. Saying that though I can still understand / considering they had some genuinely sweet moments and Phoenix really cared about him a lot. They cooperate well and Phoenix seems to bring out the best in Edgeworth, especially seeing how he triggered his change into him becoming a better person and prosecutor. That said I still don't like them as a romantic pairing, but as friends I love them.
On the other hand / . Apart from the couple of lines Klavier throws at Apollo I can't understand the appeal of it, especially since unlike Phoenix/Edgeworth they don't have any backstory to tie them together. I read a few fics of it to try and understand what fans see in it, but all I see is Apollo being turned into a little moe blob uke. Then again I have an absolutely huge bias for / so my opinion doesn't exactly count for much here, ha ha.
/ This last pairing I'm on the fence about. Again I think friendship is an extremely important relationship to have and I adore the way the two of them are right now, however I honestly can't imagine them in a romantic relationship with anyone other than each other. It's obvious that Phoenix cares about her A LOT, but they have such a buddy buddy(I wouldn't call it sibling-like)feel to them that it's hard to see it as romantic. Maybe if a more mature Maya were to show up in the next game I'd be more inclined to ship them.
For now I'll just stay in the corner with my Klavier/Ema and Maggey/Gumshoe.
Art Thread|Deviantart|Tumblr|Youtube
^ Totally agree with everything you've said here (especially the Klavier/Apollo stuff XD) but personally I'm still not gonna ship Nick X Maya I've just never seen them as lovers, just really close friends. Besides Feenie and Iris is where it's at! /shot
Also, I've actually remembered a ship that has been around for a while but I'm not sure if many people are into it now, and that ship is Mia/Lana.
Now putting my whole fangirl obsession with Miego out of this, I can say I will ship it to an extent. I think everyone was thinking what I was thinking when Lana said "That must be why she was attracted to me..." but Ema quickly corrected her. Lana seems to have a great sense of respect for Mia and I've always liked thinking up fanfics about the duo's friendship in school, but I've never really been super-duper into this pairing. When I said I will ship it to an extent, I mean I will ship it if it's one-sided Lana's point of view. Because a) I can't really see Mia as a lesbian. b) Lana seems like she really respected her friend, and c) why would she bring up the whole "scientifically attracted" thingy to Phoenix if she didn't think anything of it? Just something to think about
In the end I'm not to fond of the pairing but I do find writing it in Lana's point of view is kind of fun It's a lot like how I feel about Klavier/Ema.
Phew, thanks! Good to know I wasn't just spouting nonsense. Same here probably, but I don't know, there's a part of me that just wants to ship Phoenix/Maya really badly because I want them to stay the awesome duo they are forever. Well being honest I think Phoenix/Iris belongs in the past, but I don't mind that pairing much for some reason.
Oh I've seen that pairing a couple of times on the kink meme, but I mainly put it down to people shipping them because they're hot. It sounds interesting if you put it that way. I'll admit I'm a shoujo-ai fan, so the idea of two mature women like that dating is a nice idea. For her saying 'attracted' though, I really put it down to a poor choice of words. I can see how people would intrepret it differently but I wouldn't say it was a statement meant in a romantic way at all. It does sound pretty... odd, though. Ha ha.
I think it's great you write for a pairing you're not particularly fond of. One sided ships are fun too. Ah it's nice to find someone who's at least semi-neutral towards Klavier/Ema. From what I've seen people either love it or absolutely hate it.

I don't like Klavier/Apollo. For some reason I find it the most boring pairing out there. I'm not sure why I find it so dull but for some reason I just do. The random suggestive things Klavier said to Apollo sounded so blatantly forced just to make slash fans happy and I found it really stupid. It's not so much of me seeing Klavier as straight as the pairing just feels so random and forced and...lame. I can't seem to find any character to ship with Apollo, but this one especially is one I don't like.
At least with Phoenix/Edgeworth there's backstory and more interaction, like mentioned, but here they hardly speak besides in court.
Franziska/Maya I'm not too fond of either. They're the same age, yes, but at such a different stage in each of their respective lives that I can't see them having a stable relationship because they're just too different and their opinions would clash terribly. I could perhaps see them having an awkwardly friendly acquaintanceship but that's honestly as far as I could see it going. Besides, I think Maya is straight. Franziska, on the other hand... I could see her with a woman.
Phoenix/Godot just seems like someone was having fun with the Pairing Generator...Same with Pearl/Wocky. Gumshoe/Edgeworth just rubs me the wrong way and gets in the way of Gumeshoe/Maggey ;)

I personally don't find myself having a fixed opinion on Klavier/Ema, actually. Sometimes I don't like it and sometimes I find it endearing. It just really depends on the story I read.
...and there's fifteen feet of pure white snow

Trucy/Apollo. They're siblings. Ew. No matter what you say, I will still hate it.
Um... and I don't really hate much else, really. Aside from the crack ones. But even then, it depends on how they're portrayed in the fan stuff. I found myself really liking AdrianXEdgeworth in a fanfic even though it's really unlikely.

You are absolutely right. I mean, I thought that after that case, you know, it would just be weird...but I've heard some people like it!
Having a boyfriend =/= being in love with him. I wish human relationships were as simple as that, but unfortunately they aren't.
I'm pretty sure she did that because Phoenix's cheesiness made her mad. When someone says something really cheesy, I feel like breaking things. So I always assumed that's what happened to Mia. I'm pretty sure it was implied/stated, anyway.
That sounded to me like Mia didn't really give a damn about him... but your interpretation is as good as mine.
But that's not what I meant. At all. What I mean is, the way people talk about this pairing bothers me. Most people say "I love Diego/Mia because Diego loved her so much!". Yeah, Diego loved Mia (or so he said), but what about her feelings? Why does everyone ignore them?
I'm not saying Mia didn't care about Diego at all. It's just... I wish people would explore her feelings a little bit more, instead of being like "yeah, so Diego loved her and they were a couple. Let's assume she returned his feelings!". It's not only lazy and boring (I'd love to see fanfiction where Mia cared about Diego, but not in that way, and was in a relationship with him for a different reasion), it has some really disturbing connotations (his feelings are the only ones that matter).

Q: Command prompt cannot find PATH variable Sometimes, my command prompt cannot find the PATH variable. I have this occasional problem at work where when I open command-prompt and run commands like ipconfig or subst, I get an error saying something like 'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command. When I try this echo %path%, it prints out %path% instead of the PATH value. If I look at my Environment Variables window, the PATH is defined right there but I don't know why CMD can't find it. At this point, I understand why the other commands were not being recognized since their paths are in PATH variable.
However, I cannot understand why the PATH variable is not being found. If I restart the computer, everything is back to normal. In a few days, I might have the same experience again.
I tried using this answer. It suggested changing a registry value but mine already had the value that was suggested yet it wasn't working. (The restart step at the end would have solved it as usual but that's not the point.)
Any suggestions regarding why the PATH variable may become invisible every now and then and how I can prevent it from happening again?

A: This can be a problem when you have a very long PATH variable and/or a huge amount of other long environment variables set. It can also happen if you have spaces next to your semicolon delimiters and if you have a % as the first character in your path.
You may have some luck with FixPath which fixes some common path problems automatically.

A: I've had similar issues with a windows machine running a corporate group policy where the machine is only affected when connected to the corporate network
Often this also affects connections to port ranges that you may use on other networks - they just stop working.
There are few tips on editing your path on the command line which I've written up on the community wiki here: https://superuser.com/posts/781483/revisions
Under these circumstances typing:
C:\WINDOWS>PATH

Will print the full variable. More effective than 'echo' which can just print '%path%' as you discovered.

Inspirational women: City innovators
Brummell
Diana Paredes, CEO of Suade, was featured in Brummell's 30 female innovators spearheading change in workplaces throughout the City!
This year, Brummell's list of the most inspirational City women turns its attentions to those who have shown an innovative approach to the way they think and work. Such was the calibre of the nominees, we had to keep reminding ourselves that we
were restricted to selecting a final list of just 30, so needed to be particularly disciplined in applying the rigorous shortlisting criteria.
The panel received more than 100 nomination packs. Straight away it was clear that every one of the nominees would be a true inspiration to other women (and men) throughout the City. These women came from a diverse range of
backgrounds, some working for a large corporate, others running their own business, but all demonstrating how effective their new ideas have been and continue to be.
CEO and co-founder, Suade
Following a successful career in investment banking at Barclays and Merrill Lynch, Paredes launched her revolutionary FinTech start-up Suade, a regulatory management platform enabling financial institutions across the world to understand and
optimise their regulatory requirements. She is a manager of the mentoring programme for Girls in Tech UK, is part of the Innovate Finance Policy Advisory Board, and regularly lobbies on behalf of the tech community on key issues to the government
and policy makers. She is also an active fundraiser for Women for Women International.

When destiny calls, the chosen have no choice. When the king of Mon Cala is assassinated, talks break down between the Mon Calamari people and the Quarren, co-inhabitants of the aquatic world. To stop a civil war, the Republic sends Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker, but unbeknownst to them, the Quarren are already being backed by the Separatists. Now the Jedi must protect Mon Cala's new leader, the young Prince Lee-Char, from the attack.
Only through fire is a strong sword forged. Anakin Skywalker and the rest of his Jedi team have been overrun by the Separatist surprise attacks led by Riff Tamson while Prince Lee-Char and Ahsoka must evade capture on their own. Unable to summon more Republic aid, Yoda calls upon the help of the powerful and amphibious Gungan Grand Army, but whether they will be enough to stop the Separatist siege is uncertain. An incensed Tamson doubles his efforts in tracking down Prince Lee-Char, unleashing the reinforcements given to him by Count Dooku in an assault that churns the oceans.
Crowns are inherited, kingdoms are earned. The Republic and Gungan forces have been captured by Riff Tamson and his Karkarodon enforcers. Now, it is up to Ahsoka and the young Prince Lee-Char to unite the fractured people of Mon Cala and drive out the Separatist invaders.
Who a person truly is cannot be seen with the eye. Jar Jar must fill in for Boss Lyonie and sway his people from rising against the Naboo.
Understanding is honoring the truth beneath the surface. A mission to save the planet Aleen and its people is launched by the droids.
Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him? C-3P0 and R2-D2 encounter danger at every turn when they visit two hostile worlds and have a run-in with pirates.
The first step towards loyalty is trust. The clones face a deadly mission to take control of the Umbaran capitol while under the temporary command of Pong Krell.
The path of ignorance is guided by fear. General Krell orders Captain Rex and the clone troopers of the 501st legion to conquer a heavily fortified Umbaran airbase, and will not accept anything less than victory.
The wise man leads, the strong man follows. After the Republic conquers an Umbaran airbase, General Krell orders Rex and his men on towards the heavily fortified capital. Realizing there's a better plan, several clone troopers disobey orders to carry out a rogue, covert operation.
Our actions define our legacy. With two of his men facing execution for disobeying orders, Captain Rex is forced to confront his overly aggressive commander, General Krell, in the conclusion to the action-packed battle for Umbara. Risking charges of mutiny, Rex must make a dark choice as the true face of the enemy emerges.
Where we are going always reflects where we came from. Zygerrian slavers are behind the sudden disappearance of an entire colony of people on the planet Kiros. As Anakin and Ahsoka rush to defuse a series of bombs planted by the slavers, Obi-Wan must fight with their imposing leader.
Those who enslave others, inevitably become slaves themselves. To locate the missing colonists, Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka go undercover to infiltrate the slavers on Zygerria. Anakin struggles with his emotions as a wily Zygerrian queen forces him to take questionable actions in order to carry out his mission.
Great hope can come from small sacrifices. Anakin tries to convince the Zygerrian Queen that she too is a slave and pawn in an evil Separatist plot. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan toils in the slave camps of Kadavo, a grim situation that grows increasingly bleak.
Friendship shows us who we really are. Peace talks between the Republic and the Separatists are interrupted by Lux Bonteri, who accuses Count Dooku of murdering his mother. Rescued by Ahsoka from Separatist custody, Bonteri involves her in his risky plan to avenge his mother's death - by revealing Dooku's location to the Mandalorian splinter group Death Watch.
All warfare is based on deception. Obi-Wan fakes his own death and goes undercover in a Republic prison, in order to gather information on a plot to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine from a convict named Moralo Eval. While there, he learns that another prisoner, notorious bounty hunter Cad Bane, is also involved. Anakin seeks vengance over the death of his former master.
Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer. Having escaped from prison, Obi-Wan, Cad Bane, and Moralo Eval flee across the galaxy, pursued by Anakin and Ahsoka. Obi-Wan must devise a way to get the information about the kidnapping plot to his fellow Jedi without blowing his cover.
The strong survive, the noble overcome. Moralo Eval brings Cad Bane and Obi-Wan Kenobi (disguised as Rako Hardeen) to Count Dooku's palace on Serenno. Along with ten other bounty hunters, Kenobi and Bane are placed in The Box, a massive cube filled with deadly challenges, designed by Eval himself to whittle down the galaxy's twelve greatest bounty hunters to an elite team of five to carry out the plan to kidnap Palpatine.
Trust is the greatest of gifts, but it must be earned. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine goes to Naboo guarded by Jedi knights, meanwhile Cad Bane, a disguised Obi-Wan and a pack of bounty hunters put their plan into action.
One must let go of the past to hold on to the future. Count Dooku is determined to have revenge against the Nightsisters of Dathomir after their betrayal with Savage Opress. General Grievous launches an all-out droid attack against the magic-wielding witches, and Mother Talzin trys to convince Asajj Ventress to rejoin the Nightsisters after she left years ago. Ventress and Mother Talzin lead the defense with all the dark powers at their command.
Who we are never changes, who we think we are does. An aimless Asajj Ventress joins a team of bounty hunters under the leadership of young Boba Fett. On an alien world, they undertake a dangerous but profitable mission that tests the limits of their skills, and the strength of Asajj's character.
A fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished. Savage Opress finally finds his long lost brother, and it turns out to be the resurrected Darth Maul, who's living in a state of madness on an Outer Rim planet.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Fueled by pure hatred, Darth Maul and his brother Savage Opress set out to take revenge on the Jedi who killed him: Obi-Wan Kenobi. Kenobi receives the aid of an unlikely ally - Asajj Ventress.

Eian Kantor never expected to return to Riverdale. A New York City native, Kantor, 28, spent his childhood in Riverdale until he was 11 years old. He graduated from P.S. 24, ate at the Blue Bay Diner, and played in Seton Park.
Once life whisked him away to New City, New York and beyond, Riverdale seemed like a closed chapter of his life.
That is until Summer 2017, when he began taking pictures for The Riverdale Press, covering topics ranging from politics and the environment, to sports and education. An avid photographer, Kantor finds joy in the oft-overlooked details of life, and it was after a year of assignments that he decided to spend more time getting to know the neighborhood of his youth.
"It was even more of a new light after shooting a bunch of news stories," Kantor said over breakfast at diner in Park Slope, where he has lived since returning to New York City in 2014.
Working in a journalistic capacity gave Kantor greater context for understanding what life is like now in the place where he spent his youth. A body of work, "Riverdale Through a New Lens," took shape as he went on long walks both up the hill and down the hill to old haunts like Seton Park, and new favorites like the Kingsbridge Donut Shop.
"It was a walk down memory lane," he said.
This project/story was shot for The Riverdale Press after I pitched them the idea in mid-2018. Julius Motal interviewed me and wrote the words. I took the pictures.


The Chairman's Lounge is a contemporary venue located at Centrebet Stadium, home to the Penrith Panthers Rugby League Team. It boasts a stunning 270 degree panoramic view across the stadium stretching to the Blue Mountains.
Famous for offering the best seats in the house on Game Day (including private Grandstand seating), the Chairman's Lounge is available all year round for a wide range of events.


In Microsoft Excel, you can use a picture as a sheet background for display purposes only. A sheet background is not printed, and it is not retained in an individual worksheet or in an item that you save as a Web page.
Because a sheet background is not printed, it cannot be used as a watermark. However, you can mimic a watermark that will be printed by inserting a graphic in a header or footer.
Click the worksheet that you want to display with a sheet background. Make sure that only one worksheet is selected.
On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Background.
Select the picture that you want to use for the sheet background, and then click Insert.
The selected picture is repeated to fill the sheet.
To improve readability, you can hide cell gridlines and apply solid color shading to cells that contain data.
A sheet background is saved with the worksheet data when you save the workbook.
To use a solid color as a sheet background, you can apply cell shading to all cells in the worksheet.
Click the worksheet that is displayed with a sheet background. Make sure that only one worksheet is selected.
On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Delete Background.
Delete Background is available only when a worksheet has a sheet background.
Watermark functionality is not available in Microsoft Excel. However, you can mimic a watermark in one of two ways.
You can display watermark information on every printed page — for example, to indicate that the worksheet data is confidential or a draft copy — by inserting a picture that contains the watermark information in a header or footer. That picture then appears behind the worksheet data, starting at the top or bottom of every page. You can also resize or scale the picture to fill the whole page.
You can also use WordArt on top of the worksheet data to indicate that the data is confidential or a draft copy.
In a drawing program, such as Paintbrush, create a picture that you want to use as a watermark.
In Excel, click the worksheet that you want to display with the watermark.
Note: Make sure that only one worksheet is selected.
On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Header & Footer.
Under Header, click either the left, center, or right header selection box.
On the Design tab of the Header & Footer Tools, in the Header & Footer Elements group, click Picture and then find the picture that you want to insert.
Double-click the picture. &[Picture] appears in the header selection box.
Click in the worksheet. The picture you selected will appear in place of &[Picture].
To resize or scale the picture, click the header selection box that contains the picture, click Format Picture in the Header & Footer Elements group, and then, in the Format Picture dialog box, select the options that you want on the Size tab.
Changes to the picture or picture format take effect immediately and cannot be undone.
If you want to add blank space above or below a picture, in the header selection box that contains the picture, click before or after &[Picture], and then press ENTER to start a new line.
To replace a picture in the header section box that contains the picture, select &[Picture], click Picture , and then click Replace.
Before printing, make sure that the header or footer margin has sufficient space for the custom header or footer.
To delete a picture in the header section box that contains the picture, select &[Picture], press DELETE, and then click in the worksheet.
To switch from Page Layout view to Normal view, select any cell, click the View tab, and then, in the Workbook Views group, click Normal.
Click the worksheet location where you want to display the watermark.
On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click WordArt.
Click the WordArt style that you want to use.
For example, use Fill - White, Drop Shadow, Fill - Text 1, Inner Shadow, or Fill - White, Warm Matte Bevel.
Type the text that you want to use for the watermark.
On the Format tab, in the Size group, in the Shape Height and Shape Width boxes, enter the size that you want . Note that this only changes the size of the box that contains the WordArt.
You can also drag the sizing handles on the WordArt to the size that you want.
Select the text inside the WordArt, and then on the Home tab, in the Font group, select the size you want in the Font Size box.
Right-click the WordArt, and click Format Shape.
In the Fill category, under Fill, click Solid fill.
Drag the Transparency slider to the percentage of transparency that you want, or enter the percentage in the Transparency box.
On the Format tab, in the Arrange group, click Rotate.
On the Size tab, under Size and rotate, in the Rotation box, enter the degree of rotation that you want.
You can also drag the rotation handle in the direction that you want to rotate the WordArt.
Note: You cannot use WordArt in a header or footer to display it in the background. However, if you create the WordArt in an empty worksheet that does not display gridlines (clear the Gridlines check box in the Show/Hide group on the View tab), you can press PRINT SCREEN to capture the WordArt, and then paste the captured WordArt into a drawing program. You can then insert the picture that you created in the drawing program into a header and footer as described in Use a picture in a header or footer to mimic a watermark.
If you have the Excel desktop application, you can use the Open in Excel button to open the workbook and add a sheet background.

Important update regarding COVID-19: A…
Important update regarding COVID-19: A Message to the Denison Community (March 10, 2020)
A message to the community regarding operations.
For the most up-to-date information, please see Denison's primary COVID-19 Coronavirus information page.
COVID-19 Coronavirus »
Denison Community,
As you know, we have been monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation while planning and preparing for its potential impacts to our campus community. The first confirmed cases in Ohio were announced yesterday and today Governor Mike DeWine has recommended all universities in the state move to remote learning and is urging consistency in response among Ohio's colleges and universities.
As we consider our next steps, our primary goal is to keep our students, faculty, staff and broader community safe and healthy. We also are committed to ensuring our students can complete their academic requirements for the semester and for graduation.
Below are details related to Denison's post-spring break plans which include a transition to remote learning from March 23 until at least through April 3. We are providing as much detail as we have right now and will be working diligently to answer all outstanding questions. You can find answers to questions on our COVID-19 webpage which we will be updating regularly. We will also stay in contact with our campus community via email. You can email your specific questions that aren't currently addressed on the website to COVID19@denison.edu.
Much is still unknown about the virus and how it will continue to evolve in the U.S. and around the world. We do know that it is easily spread by individuals in close personal contact with one another. We are aware that social distancing is a particular challenge in the close living quarters of a college campus. Many institutions, including Amherst, Smith, Grinnell, and Middlebury have announced in the last 24 hours that they are moving to remote learning and telling students not to return to campus after spring break.
While many Denison students are at low risk for contracting a severe form of COVID-19, they are capable of contracting and easily transmitting to those who are immunocompromised and to older members of our campus community – including our neighbors in Granville and Licking County – who are at greater risk. We must make decisions about how to continue campus operations with all of these community members in mind and based on recommendations from local, state and national health and government officials.
We will transition to a remote learning model from March 23 until at least through April 3, with the possibility of extending through the end of the semester. Beginning March 23, we will begin remote learning as faculty provide students with assignments and structures for course engagement. During the week of March 30, classes will continue via a variety of platforms that support remote learning. Faculty will be in contact with students clarifying the changes to course structure throughout this period. It's important that students monitor email and NoteBowl. Classes will continue through the regularly scheduled final examination period, either remotely or on-campus.
Administrative offices will continue to operate, and the library will remain open.
All students are expected to leave campus by Monday, March 16, through at least April 3. There is a very real possibility that we will extend remote learning through the end of the semester, therefore we strongly encourage students to take all of their belongings if at all possible, and especially all items and materials they need to continue their studies remotely. A subsequent notice to students will provide more information about packing and moving support.
Students with exceptional reasons to stay on campus, including international students, can request to remain via this form. Those who have already requested housing for spring break should still complete this form. We recognize that because we are moving to remote learning some students who had planned to be on campus may change their decision and leave campus. The campus will remain open (including food, healthcare and facilities services) for students who, because of exceptional circumstances, are unable to leave.
For those on campus, we will implement practices to reinforce social distancing. Our goal is to decrease the number of instances where community members gather in large groups or spend extended periods of time in close proximity with each other. We are evaluating athletic events, events hosted on campus by off-campus groups, and other large events. We will inform the community as soon as possible about any changes to these activities.
I know this a disruptive decision, but I believe it is the right one to reduce the spread of the virus and protect those in our community who are most vulnerable. I want to thank our faculty, staff and administrators who are planning for and addressing this complex and fast-changing situation and the complexities of moving to a remote learning model. And, I thank our students and their families for their understanding, patience, and support of this decision.
We will continue to keep you updated both via email and will also update our COVID-19 webpage.

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - For six years, the family of Robert Nero Sr. thought his ashes sat in an urn on his widow's mantle. But the family recently learned that ashes and a metal disk identifying them as his were found dumped in bushes at a West Palm Beach YWCA and now they don't know what to believe.
Miami Dade College mortuary science professor Joseph Finocchiaro said it's unlikely the ashes could have been outdoors for long - rain and wind would have scattered them.
West Palm Beach Sgt. David Lefont said investigators don't believe a crime was committed - Florida law doesn't prohibit the dumping of ashes on private property.

[![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/node-ternary-search-trie.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/node-ternary-search-trie)

It is unstable and *not for production use*. ;)

You can install it via `npm install node-ternary-search-trie`, or just
include the script `lib/trie.js` in your web pages.

```javascript
var Trie = Trie || require('node-ternary-search-trie');

var trie = new Trie();
```

Public methods (with simple Unicode support):

*   `set(key, value) -> this`

    Insert one key-value pair into the trie. This will overwrite the existed
    key-value pair. `value` should not be `null` or `undefined`.

*   `get(key, toSplay = false) -> value`:

    Fetch the stored value of the given key.

    `get` and `set` methods may be greatly affected after each splaying operation. Splay with caution.

*   `del(key) -> this`

    Delete the key-value pair for the given key.

*   `size() -> size`

    Return the total number of nodes in the trie.

*   `keys() -> [keys...]`

    Sort and return all keys stored in the trie.

*   `keysWithPrefix(prefix) -> [keys...]`

    Sort and return all keys started with the given prefix.

*   `keysWithCommonPrefix(key) -> [keys...]`

    Sort and return all keys that are prefixes of the given key.

*   `keysWithinHammingDistance(key, distance) -> [keys...]`

    Sort and return all keys within a Hamming distance of the given key.

*   `keysWithinLevenshteinDistance(key, distance) -> [keys...]`

    Sort and return all keys within a Levenshtein distance of the given key.

*   `keysWithinDamerauLevenshteinDistance(key, distance) -> [keys...]`

    Sort and return all keys within a Damerau-Levenshtein distance of the given key.

*   `searchWithPrefix(prefix, callback: (key, value) -> void) -> this`

    Just like `keysWithPrefix`.

*   `searchWithCommonPrefix(key, callback: (key, value) -> void) -> this`

    Just like `keysWithCommonPrefix`.

*   `searchWithinHammingDistance(key, distance, callback: (key, value, distance) -> void) -> this`

    Just like `keysWithinHammingDistance`.

*   `searchWithinLevenshteinDistance(key, distance, callback: (key, value, distance) -> void) -> this`

    Just like `keysWithinLevenshteinDistance`.

*   `searchWithinDamerauLevenshteinDistance(key, distance, callback: (key, value, distance) -> void) -> this`

    Just like `keysWithinDamerauLevenshteinDistance`.

*   `traverse(callback: (key, value) -> void) -> this`

    Traverse in in-order. (sorted)

*   `traversal() -> iterator`

    Return an iterator for in-order traversal. `iterator.next()` will return

Sekiro mod adds Nic Cage death screen
By Samuel Horti 2019-03-30T15:19:52Z
"I'd like to take his face…off."
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a brilliant game, and Tom awarded it 92/100 in his review. But if there's one thing it lacks, it's Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage.
Thankfully, modder kasaiji has buckled to overwhelming pressure from fans and created a new mod that blesses you with Cage's face every time you die. It even has two variants: a grey face when you can still revive, and a blood red one for when you're finally, properly dead.
To install it, follow the instructions on the mod's Nexus page—you'll need to grab the Sekiro mod engine first.
It's not the first time Cage has invaded one of FromSoftware's games. A 2016 mod replaced every texture with pictures of both Cage and...er...Shrek. The result was utterly bizarre, and needs to be seen to be believed.

Dream Theater – On the Backs of Angels
Prog metal gods Dream Theater posted a track from their upcoming album, A Dramatic Turn of Events to YouTube.
On the Backs of Angels gives us our first glance into the Mike Mangini era of Dream Theater, and I think it's a sign of good things to come. Mangini assumed Mike Portnoy's throne on drums, and maintained Portnoy's style, while throwing in hints of his own flair. It works.
It's not their heaviest song, but it sounds great, and it's full of the technical wizardry that Dream Theater fans expect and love.

HaydenW says:
I agree, it truly is a great song, and one which only gets better with repeated listens (which is the case with most Dream Theater songs). I believe this to actually be one of Dream Theater's very best song-orientated tracks in their career – and by 'song-orientated', I mean a track that is focused upon a consistent structure and layout, rather than a complete jam-fest such as a track like "Beyond This Life" (which is also a mind-blowing track, merely in different aspects).
The song actually reminds me a whole lot of "Pull Me Under", not just structurally (which, as some have pointed out, is nearly identical), but also stylistically and sound-wise. From the riffing, to the use of keyboards, to the very vocal-driven choruses; both of these songs have a lot in common. And, when it comes down to it, I actually think that I'd have to call "On the Backs of Angels" the better song out of the two. I don't know whether it's the fact that this is the first DT song to be released during my fan-hood (yes, it was only about a year ago that I discovered these guys), but never have I just kept wanting to go back and listen to a song repeatedly this much; "OtBoA" has truly sucked me in.
It's a terrific track, and it gives me reason to believe that Dream Theater are headed in an upward direction.
D Wave says:
I have been a fan of DT since the 1999 when "Scenes From a Memory" came out (my favourite album of the band still!).
I think in this song Dream Theater show their progressive side, the one we have seen in Octavarium and Falling Into Infinity. Definitely a band that renews itself in every album without losing its identity.
Nice blog by the way… :-) As Jordan Rudess always says: "see you…on the road!!"
David Spira says:
"Scenes From a Memory" is my favorite DT album as well.
Yeah, agreed; it's also my favourite.
It was also the first DT album that I bought. I loved it from the very first time I heard it, and it hasn't left my heart since. So it's great to hear many of the sounds and traits from that album coming through in this song; it gives me high hopes for the rest of 'A Dramatic Turn of Events'.
And, while DT have returned to their old[er] sounds and stylings, it would seem, it also turns out that John Myung has returned to writing lyrics! (Source: http://theytsetimes.com/?p=1181 )
Each new piece of info released about this album is only making me more and more excited about its release : ).
