" You Have to Show Up. The Union Is What the Members Make It."
New Jersey retiree Charles Gordon says good patient care starts with a strong union.
Sir Isaac Newton said, "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." And retired delegate Charles Gordon has always been ready to stand up for the rights of working people and the future of his union.
By the time Gordon retired in 2005, he had worked as a CNA at Windsor Gardens Care Center in East Orange, NJ for nearly 30 years.
"Whenever there was a call [to action], I would go," recalls Gordon.
In his long career as a union delegate, he traveled all over the U.S.— from Washington, D.C. to Detroit, MI.
"I would get on a plane, train, or get in the bus or a car to go wherever the Union needed me to be," he says.
Gordon went to so many rallies for New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy that the politician would call out in the crowd: "Hi Charlie!" He's also met New Jersey's Sen. Cory Booker (a current presidential candidate) and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.
Originally from Kingston, Jamaica, where he worked as a security guard for a lumber company, Gordon was already a union man when he came to the U.S. in the early 1970s.
When he wasn't out campaigning for union-friendly elected officials, Gordon was taking an active role on picket lines and at contract negotiations.
"If it wasn't for the Union, the management at the nursing home would ignore the workers. I don't know what would happen to us. When we went to the hotels to negotiate, I always shouted the loudest. We know that management is collecting Medicaid money. We have to fight for our share," says Gordon.
"I would get on a plane, train, or get in the bus or a car to go wherever the Union needed me to be."
- Charles Gordon
He even spent time in a prison cell during the 1980s after being arrested for lying down across the driveway of the nursing home during a strike. During the action, Gordon and other workers blocked trucks delivering food to the facility. Gordon also wasn't shy about calling out any co-workers who didn't join picket lines, particularly his West Indian sisters and brothers.
"I see you there from Trinidad, St. Lucia, Antigua, and Anguilla, hiding behind the curtain," he'd admonish them. "You mean to tell me that I am out here fighting for you, for better pay and benefits. Come down and join the line tomorrow!"
Gordon also made sure that every part of the bargaining unit was involved in every action. "When I saw that the working conditions in the kitchen were bad, I went to the dining room to talk to those workers," he says.
Gordon never let his union activities interfere with his dedication to his patients and their care. He was often asked by management to sit down and talk to patients, tell them stories about where he was from, and to get friendly with their relatives.
Sometimes, though, his political and professional roles overlapped. Gordon looked after the aunt of New Jersey Congressman Donald Payne at Windsor Gardens. Once, in the mid-1980s, a confused resident went for a walk outside Windsor Gardens and no one could find her. Gordon walked out after her, showing photos of her to people along the way. He eventually caught up with her three miles away from the nursing home. Once he explained who he was, the resident agreed to return with him.
Now 81 years old, Gordon has scaled back his political campaigning somewhat, but is still active in Union efforts. In November he was out knocking on doors in Bergen County for New Jersey's 1199-endorsed candidates. Gordon says he's trying to be an example for younger members and those still on the job.
"You have to show up," he says. "The Union is what the members make it."

Q: Cannot create executable jar from Java Swing app successfully I have made a Java Swing application and now I want to export it as an executable jar file. I have created the app in Eclipse, and it has the following structure :

where folder mysqlconnector contains also a jar file. So first I tried following the instructions in this link and created seo.jar, but when I try to execute it from the terminal by java -jar seo.jar I get an error :

Error: Could not find file connectionprops.properties

As the screenshot shows, I tried putting connectionprops.properties in main package, but the same problem remains.
Then I tried making a manifest file named manifest.mf with contents :
Main-Class: bin.main.MainClass   //also tried Main-Class: MainClass

as the structure of my project is :
seo --> bin --> main --> MainClass.class

I placed the manifest.mf in folder seo and I gave the following command in the terminal :
jar -cvfm seo.jar manifest.mf *

but again when executing it from the terminal by java -jar seo.jar I get an error :

Error: Could not find or load main class bin.main.MainClass

What am I doing wrong? Should I change something in my project structure? Is there a problem that I have other jar files inside my project? How can I create the executable jar and execute it successfully?

A: bin.main is not a package name. You can't add this to manifest.mf.
You should add the package name only if you have the main class in the package. If your package is default then put only the main class.
Main-Class: MainClass

A: The Manifest Main-Class attribute needs to receive the package path to your Main class. It doesn't matter what the structure of the project looks like, what matters is the fully qualified package name that you have inside the src/ folder. So in this case, main.MainClass is what you should write there.
Also, if you receive other errors when trying to read the connectionprops.properties in your program, try to open the file using
someObject.getClass().getResourceAsStream("connectionprops.properties")

Visualization of Tropical Storm Joaquin on September 29, 2015, just before the storm intensified into a hurricane. Visualization depicts a full 360 degree view of the storm.
Joaquin became a tropical storm Monday evening (EDT) midway between the Bahamas and Bermuda and has now formed into a hurricane. Joaquin is the 3rd hurricane of the 2015 season, though it could be the first to impact the US East Coast.
This visualization shows a 3D view of Joaquin via GPM's Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar on September 29th, 2015 21:39Z. The visualization shows a large area of very intense rain with rain rates ranging from around 50 to 132 mm/hr (~2 to 5 inches) just to the right of the center. This is a strong indication that large amounts of heat are being released into the storm's center, fueling its circulation and providing the means for its intensification. Associated with the area of intense rain is an area of tall convective towers with tops reaching above 16 km. Part of the snow aloft (in blue shades) extends as an anvil across the western part of the storm.This feature indicates that vertical wind shear (difference of winds with height) is strong, and can serve to rip a storm apart..

Brazilian deluge halts giant iron ore mines, triggers dam concerns
Bloomberg News | January 11, 2022 | 1:28 pm Top Companies Latin America Iron Ore

Heavy rainfall is disrupting southeastern Brazil's giant iron ore industry, with the world's No. 2 producer Vale SA among companies to halt operations and regulators dispatched to monitor any impact on tailings dams.
Vale partially suspended services on the Estrada de Ferro Vitoria a Minas railway as well as production at its southeastern and southern systems "to guarantee the safety of its employees and communities," the Rio de Janeiro-based supplier said in a statement Monday.

The deluge in Minas Gerais state offers fresh impetus to a recovery in global prices of the steelmaking ingredient after a decline in shipments from Brazil and Australia. It's also sounding alarms for tailings dams given the region was the site of two disasters in the past six years including a 2019 collapse that left 270 dead and cost Vale its title of the world's No. 1 supplier.
Gerdau SA, Cia. Siderurgica Nacional SA and Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais SA also suspended operations in Minas Gerais this week. While the region represented 40% of Vale's output in the nine months through September, the company reiterated its production guidance of 320 million to 335 million tons of iron ore in 2022.
In December, Brazil had 40 tailings dams on emergency level, 36 of which are in Minas Gerais, according to the country's mining regulator. Three of those — all owned by Vale — are at the highest alert of level 3.
Authorities preventively evacuated people close to a hydroelectric dam in the municipality of Para de Minas, which is at risk of imminent failure.
Iron ore futures in Singapore advanced as much as 2.8% on Tuesday, bringing the rally to about 50% since November. Shipments from both Brazil and Australia have each declined almost 20% in the latest week, and coupled with mill restocking, that's supporting prices, said Huatai Futures Co. analyst Wang Haitao.
The northern system, where Vale produces high-grade ore, continues to operate in line with the production plan, which the company says considers the impact of the rainy season on operations. Last week, Vale reported a landslide in copper project Salobo III, in Para State, also because of the rain.
CSN Mineracao SA said in a filing that extraction and movement operations at the Casa de Pedra mine were suspended due to the rain. CSN has also started dam emergency protocol, with its B2 dam at level 2.
CSN said it "does not involve risks to population because all residents of the Self Rescue Zone have already been relocated" and that the impact on production is not relevant.
Minas Gerais was doused by rain over the weekend, blocking highways. A dike owned by France's Vallourec SA overflowed Saturday near the city of Belo Horizonte, and operations at Usiminas's mining subsidiary Musa were temporarily suspended due to rains significantly higher than average.

Reuters | January 21, 2022 | 3:56 pm
The amount does not include the figure the company will spend on individual compensations, which are being negotiated.
"There is strong anticipation that steel production will resume in the medium term," SinoSteel Futures analysts said.

Send your laptop to the Dell Experts! You can take a look at locally rated and reviewed computer repair services in your area to find one you can trust.
I make recommendations based on what is best for you, not what makes me the most money. How much do you charge? You may have spilled something on it, a small child in the home may have torn off some of the keys, or the keyboard may have just quit working mysteriously. Read all about That broken headphone jack? It also pays to look at the price of new equipment for your home office or personal computing needs. Due to the volatile nature of computer performance, Geeks On Repair will only honor warranty if same exact problem is recurring before the warranty expiration date. Consult with a computer repair technician to find out what can be done. This will give you the knowledge needed to re-enable these laptop features if you need them in the future.

Read more: Diagnosing and fixing power problems If your laptop has no power, it can seem like there is no clue what is wrong with it. So call us today and tell us about the problem with your laptop.
Just watch us work from the comfort of your own home! There is also plenty of help to be found around the Internet if you like to fix problems yourself, but be very cautious of more complicated repairs that take you into depths of your computer you are not familiar with. If something seems to be not working, make sure the brightness is up or the volume unmuted or the on switch is in the appropriate position depending on what you are having issues with. I wanted only the best of the best for the right price. There can be a number of reasons why your power button has stopped working. Most repairs completed within 2 business days.
This makes them generally less powered for heavy computer use such as video editing, but great for watching videos, taking notes in small spaces, playing simple games and a wide variety of other functions. I have been in the computer business since 1985. A few companies in my area I found on this website offer tablet repair near me for very cheap rates. All of the components inside of your computer housing will be properly cleaned, also a diagnostic analysis will be performed on them to determine their health and stability. In other cases, we will have to replace the entire fan. Either way, the directory site here is a way to see the computer stores near me that offer services I can benefit from right away. With these services, you usually prepay a certain amount of money for a remote investigation or chat with an off-site technician.
We also offer free diagnostics over the phone! This discussion can be about hourly rate or project estimate. A flier is not a referral, a web advertisement is not a referral, a full-page ad in the Sunday newspaper is not a referral. All of Atlanta take advantage of our great pricing on cell phone accessories and water damage repairs. Customers have 30 days of warranty after a repair has been completed. Viruses are the most common reason people seek computer repair services. Sometimes they are hard to find because they are not listed in a phone book or may not have much of a web presence just yet. Plug your desktop into a surge protector.


Love could be blind because of ignorance.Did you ever try to tell a person something about someone they loved and they didn't want to know? That love was blind because of ignorance. However, An all-knowing God wouldn't be able to love blindly because of ignorance.
Love could be blind because of pride. Many relationships are built on social status. This kind of love could be blinded by money or popularity but those relationships will soon crumble when the money is gone or the popularity fades. Social or financial status never has affected God's relationship with anyone.
God isn't human; He doesn't love us because we love Him; His love is, and always has been unconditional! God loves blindly because He chooses to. He says in Isaiah 43:25,"I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. When God loves and saves a sinner, not only the punishments of their iniquity shall be removed, but their offence against God shall be forgotten, and he will be reconciled to them.
If you study the history of the nation of Israel you'll understand that God's love is blind because of His will. They murmured against Him in the wilderness and rebelled against Him in the Promised Land and turned their backs on Him after He had abundantly blessed them But God still loved them! What could a person ever do that would be wonderful enough to deserve God's love? There is nothing that we could do to earn God's admiration, but His love is unconditional.
(Rom 5:8) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Q: Non-constant entire functions Question: If $g$ is a non-constant entire function does it follow that $G_1(z)=g(z)-g\left(z+e^{g(z)}\right)$ is non-constant?
The reason I care is it would imply Prop 3 below, which in turn implies Prop 1, giving a proof that might seem better motivated than the proof here.
It seems at least plausible. The only thought I've had is a little vague: $-G_1(z)$ is something somewhat like $g'(z)e^{g(z)}$. And $g'e^g$ cannot  be constant:  If $g'e^g=c$ then $e^g=cz+d$. So $cz+d$ has no zero, hence $c=0$, and it follows that $g$ is constant. The problem is that the size of $g'(z)e^{g(z)}+G_1(z)$ depends on the size of $e^g$ and also on the size of $g''$...
Context: The other day at the link above I learned something totally new to me:

Prop 1. Suppose $f$ is entire. Then $f\circ f$ has no fixed point if and only if $f$ is a nontrivial translation ($f(z)=z+b$, $b\ne0$.)

The obvious question is when $f$ has a fixed point - this is trivial:

Prop 2. The entire function $f$ has no fixed point if and only if $f(z)=z+e^{g(z)}$ for some entire function $g$.

(Proof: $f$ has no fixed point if and only if $f(z)-z$ has no zero...)
It occurred to me to try to use Prop 2 to prove Prop 1: Suppose $f\circ f$ has no fixed point. Then $f$ has no  fixed point, so $f(z)=z+e^{g(z)}$, and now we have something to work with in investigating when $f\circ f$ has a fixed point...
It  turns out that to get to Prop 1 from Prop 2 we need this:

Prop  3 If $g$ is a non-constant entire function then $G_2(z)=e^{g(z)}+e^{g\left(z+e^{g(z)}\right)}$ has a zero.

Proving two assertions above:
If the answer to the question is yes then Prop 3 follows: If $G_1$ is non-constant then little  Picard shows that there exist $k\in\Bbb Z$ and $z\in\Bbb C$ with $G_1(z)=(2k+1)\pi i$: this shows that $G_2(z)=0$.
Prop  3 implies Prop 1: Suppose $f\circ f$ has no FP Then $f$ has no FP, so $f(z)=z+e^{g(z)}$. But now $f(f(z))=z+G_2(z)$,  so saying $f\circ f$ has no FP is saying exactly that $G_2$ has no zero. So Prop 3 implies that $g$ is constant, hence $f$ is a non-trivial translation.
In fact the two are equivalent (and hence Prop 3 is in fact true):
Prop 1 implies  Prop 3: Say $g$ is non-constant and let $f(z)=z+e^{g(z)}$. Then $f$ is not a translation, so $f\circ f$ has a FP, hence as before $G_2$ has a zero.
My "might seem better motivated" might be worth justifying, given the bizarre appearance of Prop 3. It's  really perfectly natural: If we're investigating when $f\circ f$ has a FP it's natural to first wonder when $f$ has a FP. Then Prop 2 is trivial, and given Prop 2 the question of when $f\circ f$ has a FP leads naturally to Prop 3, since $f(f(z))=z+G_2(z)$. (And now saying $G_2$ has a zero is clearly equivalent to saying $G_1(z)=(2k+1)\pi i$ for some $z$, and to prove that we only need to show that $G_1$ is non-constant, hence the question...) Perfectly clear, qed.

A: The answer is: yes, the property holds. I.e., there is no non-constant, entire $g$ such that $g(z)-g(z+e^{g(z)})$ is constant.
The proof goes by contradiction, in a couple of claims:

Claim 1: If $g(z)-g(z+e^{g(z)}) = a,$ then $a \ne (2k+1) i\pi$, for any $k \in \mathbb{Z}$.

Proof: let $z = w + e^{g(w)}.$ Then, from the property, it follows that
$$ g(w) - g(w+(1+e^{-a})e^{g(w)}) = 2a.$$
If $a = (2k+1)i\pi$ for some $k \in \mathbb{Z},$ then we get that $a=0$ above, a contradiction.

Claim 2: $g' e^g$ is non-constant.

This has been proved in the original post; explicitly, if it were constant, then we would have $e^g = rz + b,$ a contradiction.

Claim 3: $g'$ satisfies both
  $$ g' = (1+g' e^g) g'(z+e^g)$$
  and
  $$ g' = (1+(1+e^{-a})g' e^g) g'(z+ (1+e^{-a})e^g).$$

Proof: The identity we obtained in the proof of Claim 1 is still valid; differentiate it, along with the original identity, and you obtain the result.
Now, for the ending of the proof, we know that either $g'e^g = -1$ or $g'e^g=-\frac{1}{1+e^{-a}}$ has a solution. Here, we used Claim 1 to prove that $e^a+1 \ne 0,$ and little Piccard, together with Claim 2. Let $z_0$ be a complex number that satisfies either of those equalities. Plugging in $z_0$ in the expressions from Claim 3, we obtain a contradiction: indeed, we would have that $g'(z_0) =0$, which contradicts directly the fact that $g'(z_0) e^{g(z_0)} \in \{-1, -\frac{1}{1+e^{-a}}\}$.This finishes the proof.

How to get a list of related keywords from main keyword? Is there a quick way of getting a list of related keywords from a main keyword. Eg a keyword of weight loss, then getting back diet tips, best diets etc etc, so not long tails, related/similar. I know a long way of doing it which is scraping the google results then working out the LSI's from those results, but I was just wondering if anyone had a quicker way. I know there is the related search thingy at the bottom of most google results, maybe that would be an easier way?

How To Overcome Childhood Trauma: You Are Stronger Than You Know
Hannah TaylorDecember 2019
This is something that lots of us deal with on a daily basis, but always feel alone in our struggle. As such, this isolating experience can often make it difficult to fully recognise the trauma that we may have undergone as a child. You hear the word 'trauma' as a black and white, dramatically physical word, but it's more complex than that. Emotional trauma and abuse or manipulation is one of the most difficult things to recognise and look in the eye.
This is largely because our mind acclimatizes to living with a certain threshold of pain or suffering. And not even realise that we've been gritting our teeth the whole time. Well, something like that. Just because we survived it doesn't mean we've dealt with it. Or that we've learnt our lesson or are equipped to move on. The goal with therapy and mental health issues may seem like it's a quick fix or a 'cure'. But that's impossible. The mind is too nuanced and unpredictable for that. Therefore, we often need someone else or a third party to step back and tell us what they see. They may be correct, they may not be. But it's the hardest thing to be constantly stuck in our own mind and not realise that we're trapped in that perspective.
It may be that a grandparent or close relative died very early, and you never properly dealt with it.
In fairness, it's difficult for parents to know how far to expose you to ideas of death, and sometimes it can come too early or too late. Or the message is so confused with the desire to protect you that no one really has a solid basis of how to grieve. Happens to the best of us, but sometimes you can reflect on a memory and realise that it maybe wasn't the healthiest mode of grieving. Recalling sitting on the ground and crying and not speaking to anyone when I was younger seems to have aged poorly when I compare it with recent recollections of grieving.
My grandma passed away last year, and it was a time of bewildering emotions and thinking that I was fine. Why is it that we always think we're the exception to Feeling Things and emotional reactions? We're not, we're all human, and we all grieve in different ways.
Neglect is another killer.
Largely because you don't realise that you aren't just lonely. Loneliness is not abandonment. Remember that, friends.
To the insecure teen: your true love is out there for you
I can already tell that you guys are rolling your eyes at me. And yet, you clicked on the article, so you're ready to be convinced. Well, I'm only too happy to oblige in reminding everyone represent that there is a Person for everyone out there. Not necessarily a one-size-fits-all soulmate that aligns perfectly with every aspect of your being, you don't even know yourself yet!
How could we expect someone else to?
What I'm saying is, we've all been so enduringly taught to subscribe to the need to find flaws in ourselves. Basically, any deviation from what has been established as the norm (straight white, rich male) is painted unalterably as a flaw. Sometimes, the flaw can be fixed; solved with some capitalistic consumption and confidence. Other times, however, we absorb into our personality a defence mechanism whereby we can protect ourselves with self-deprecating humour and a tendency towards isolating ourselves when things get hard. As a result of all of this, many of us have been conditioned to view our flaws as things people can use against us. Weaknesses that make us unloveable or undesirable, or fundamentally unworthy.
Hang tight, dear readers, because I'm about to go on a deep dive into everyone's diary entries from 2012 to present… "I'm not good enough. Attractive enough. No one will ever know me."
"No one will ever love me"
Sound familiar? Don't worry, we all had that grunge emo phase where the world didn't make sense and we didn't know who or what we were in relation to the big machine of socio-economic players. To be quite frank, I probably don't fully know who I am even today.
What I do know, is that love is out there, always. It's not a finite resource, the fact that other people have it with different traits to you doesn't mean that it's not there for you too.
Like Karl Marx said, 'seize the means of love'.
Well, something like that. I didn't major in economics, lol.
But you get my drift.


For the Brazilian municipality, see Castro Alves, Bahia.
Antônio Frederico de Castro Alves (14 March 1847 – 6 July 1871) was a Brazilian poet and playwright, famous for his abolitionist and republican poems. One of the most famous poets of the "Condorism", he won the epithet of "O Poeta dos Escravos" ("The Poet of the Slaves").
He is the patron of the 7th chair of the Brazilian Academy of Letters.
Castro Alves was born in the town of Curralinho (renamed "Castro Alves" in his honor in 1900), in the Brazilian state of Bahia, to Antônio José Alves, a medician, and Clélia Brasília da Silva Castro, one of the daughters of José Antônio da Silva Castro (a.k.a. "Periquitão", Portuguese for "Big Parakeet"), a proeminent fighter in the 1821–23 Siege of Salvador. In 1853, he was sent to study in the Colégio Sebrão, run by Abílio César Borges, the Baron of Macaúbas. There, he would meet and befriend Ruy Barbosa.
In 1862, he moved to Recife in order to study at the Faculdade de Direito do Recife, but he was rejected twice. He only was able to join the college in 1864, there meeting Tobias Barreto and José Bonifácio the Younger (step-grandson of famous statesman José Bonifácio). They would heavily influence Alves' writing style, and in turn, Alves also influenced them both. His father would die in 1866, and short after, he met Portuguese actress Eugênia Câmara, and would start dating her afterwards.
In 1867, Alves returns to Bahia alongside Câmara, and there he writes his drama Gonzaga, ou A Revolução de Minas, based on the life of famous Luso-Brazilian Neoclassic poet Tomás António Gonzaga and his participation in the failed 1789 Minas Conspiracy. In the following year, he and Câmara would go to São Paulo, where Alves entered the Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de São Paulo and once more would meet Ruy Barbosa. In there, he also befriended Pedro Luís Pereira de Sousa, and wrote a poem named "Deusa incruenta", based on Sousa's work "Terribilis Dea". His play Gonzaga would be performed on the end of 1868, being well received by critics and public alike, but Alves was sad because his romantic engagement with Eugênia Câmara had terminated.
During a hunting trip in the same year, Alves received an accidental shotgun shot in his left foot, that had to be amputated due to the menace of gangrene. However, a prosthesis was made for him, and thus he was able to walk again (although with the use of an assistive cane). He would spend the year of 1870 in his home-state of Bahia, trying to recover from the tuberculosis he got while in São Paulo. Also in 1870, Alves published the poetry book Espumas Flutuantes — the only work he would publish during his lifetime. All his other works would receive a posthumous publication.
Alves' attempts to mitigate the tuberculosis were in vain; he would die on 6 July 1871, in the city of Salvador, at 24 years old.
Alves also translated into Portuguese many poems by Victor Hugo, and Lord Byron's "Darkness" and "Lines Inscribed Upon a Cup Formed from a Skull". They can be found on Espumas Flutuantes.
Alves was portrayed by Paulo Maurício in the 1949 film Vendaval Maravilhoso, loosely based on Jorge Amado's 1941 book The ABC of Castro Alves, and by Bruno Garcia in Silvio Tendler's 1999 documentary Castro Alves: Retrato Falado do Poeta.

Live Poll: Which Video Game World Would Lend Itself to a Movie the Best?
Out of the video game franchises without a movie, which would lend itself best to one? The movie doesn't have to be based on the exact exploits of the game, such as how they handled the Assassin's Creed movie where it's in the same universe, but is its own story, with its own characters, but the same elements. In fact, not basing the movie on the same story as the video game would, most likely, lend for a great movie, if handled well. Here goes!

The first Call of Duty game.
The thing with the first three Call of Duty games is that there are already an abundance of World War II movies. The others could be good, though.

Sure, but if it doesn't fit in here, that's fine.

I've often wondered how a movie adaptation of Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto would play out. I'm not sure if it would work, because there are so many movies by which the games were inspired, yet there has not really been a movie that reaches to the plausible yet absurd themes found in the games, like a firefight involving a Leopard 2A4 tank and A/MH-6X MELB helicopters in the downtown of a massive urban area, or a character escaping wanted levels that have city police, sheriffs' deputies, state troopers and federal agents on his or her tail.
Grand Theft Auto is one of those games where, if you take a small chunk of a game, it can become a movie. However, I don't know if it'd work, because there are so many crime films already, and I think the stories would lose flavor if an adaptation cuts out the fat of the games, which wouldn't be prudent for a movie, but are one of the draws of the games. Hm.
From the list, I'd like to see Deus Ex or Zelda. I don't really play games, but they seem the most interesting.
FYC, Halo is supposed to get an adaption written by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Dredd) so that might be good.
I'm trying to avoid games that already have a movie, and Halo is pushing it.
I changed my mind. I'll add it.
I don't know if it's even been green-lit yet. So far as I know it's still just a screenplay.
I'd probably vote for Fire Emblem or Watch Dogs. Well, at least right now. Most of those would make good movies, if done like Assassin's Creed where it's the same mechanics and style, but its own story.

Careers and Jobs:
"I'm not bossy. I am the boss."- Ban Bossy
South Africa's youth are central to the growth and development of the country. But they are also the most likely to be unemployed. In fact, youth between the ages of 15 to 34 years make up over two thirds of unemployed people in the country in the last 10 years. [1]
It's no surprise, then, that poverty is high among youth. And poverty makes it harder to access services like education, healthcare and housing. So women and girls living in poverty won't have the resources that they might need to find jobs or even stay healthy. Dealing with these issues is really hard, and it often leads adolescent girls and young women to turn to alcohol and other substances, as well as risky sexual behaviours (like relationships with sugar daddies or blessers). And this puts them more at risk of HIV and gender-based violence.
Being unemployed, or having few chances to progress, can lead to many other risks and problems. For this reason, it's important for young people to get access to jobs and career development.

China Press is a broadsheet format newspaper owned by The China Press Berhad. This newspaper is available across the country and is one which is always anticipated by its readers as it is released in the evening.
China Press was founded in 1946 which makes it one of the oldest newspapers in Malaysia. Set up by Tun Henry Lee Hau Shik or more fondly known as Tun H. S Lee, the newspaper began publications on 1 February that year. With a prominent figure like Tun H.S Lee leading the company, China Press has become an icon in its own.
It was then suspended for a month in 1969 due to a report on the May 13 incident. China Press is owned by Nanyang Press since 199 and it is the second most popular Chinese newspaper in Malaysia with a circulation of 220,000 copies every day.
Since 1990, China Press started publishing its evening edition. Then, it had the tagline of "Today News Tonight Know" where it provides and report the latest news for the public. Sold for RM1.30 per copy, China Press reports on local and international news which also includes sports, technology, entertainment, gossips and recipes.
Despite the growing popularity of social media and online news sources, China Press is still going strong. This is most evident with its evening edition where vehicles are always seen stopping at the side of roads to buy a copy from the vendors. This is because China Press is preferred by readers from the Chinese community who are more elderly.
In fact, it has been a source of lottery number results of the same day which is not available in other newspapers until the following day. Today, the readers are still anticipating the results via China Press.
Apart from that, it also contains the latest news and happenings in around the region. This simply means that China Press has an advantage in reporting news of the day in the same evening without having to wait for the next morning.
Despite being owned by Nanyang Press which is also a company linked with MCA, a political party and component within the ruling government, China Press remains as one of the most popular newspapers as it is known to be unbiased in reporting. As such, readers are more receptive of what are being published in China Press as compared to other mainstream media.

Q: How to Calculate the Number of Hours Between Two Points in Time? I am using the code below to show ads to my users. Once any user has clicked on one add, it should not appear to the same user within 24 hours.
$sql2=$Db1->query("SELECT * FROM ads2 WHERE active='1' ORDER BY RAND()");

while($temp=$Db1->fetch_array($sql2)) {

    $sql=$Db1->query("SELECT * FROM ads2_log WHERE user='$username' AND target='{
         $temp['target']}' AND shorten='{$temp['shorten']}' ORDER BY fecha DESC");
    $row=$Db1->fetch_array($sql);
    $showads = true;

    if( $row['fecha'] != "" ){

        $hourdiff = round(($row['fecha'] - time())/3600, 1);
        //echo "Last click: ".date("Y/m/d H:i:s", $row['fecha'])." - ".$hourdiff;
        if( $hourdiff < 24 ) { $showads = false; }

    }
    if( $showads == true )
    {

But in my case it's not working for me.

A: Let's suppose that the database column referred to by fecha contains a DATETIME character sequence in the following form (it's used by MySQL): YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss. In that case you can calculate the time difference between the current time and the time stored in the database in the following way:
$hourdiff = round( (time()-strtotime($row['fecha']))/3600, 1);

PHP time() function returns a number of milliseconds since the start of the Unix epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 UTC), so you need to use strtotime to convert the date string from the database to a number of milliseconds. After that, you're ready to calculate the difference.

Q: How to exclude a filetype when using the REN command in cmd? I have a batch script which moves all the files from one folder to another and then renames them all to .jpg, however my .bat file itself gets renamed in the process because it sits in the destination folder. I need to exclude it from getting renamed.
Also, does the ren command exclude items in subfolders by default? I only want items in the destination folder renamed, not items in its subfolders.

Report 'Experience with Cloudbed PMS?'?
I am currently looking for a new PMS and I have already tried out a lot of different solutions. I also found Cloudbeds and their staff presented it to me. It looks actually really promising and since the owners also own MyAllocator, a channel manager is integrated in this cloud based software.
Does anyone work with Cloudbeds? How do you like it? I would definitely appreciate any feedback!!
In the end, I liked Ibelsa.rooms and Cloudbeds the most but I haven't made a decision yet.
Report 'Re: Experience with Cloudbed PMS?'?
I couldn't find anything about cloudbed in particular here in the forums, but there have been a few discussions in the past about different PMS's that might be helpful to you.
Hope that helps you out!
I got a brief overview of CloudBeds, and from what I saw it looked great. I haven't had a chance to test it out for my hostel yet though. When I do I'll post some observations here.
I understand that they are more popular among hostels in South America. Perhaps some of those hostels could chime in and tell us what they think?
I also saw the presentation and it actually looks very promising. Currently I tend to take ibelsa.rooms, but it's good to have an alternative.

Report 'Beware! They will say'?
Beware! They will say anything to lead you into the contract with promises of help and what they are going to have available but haven't yet figured out. Don't expect to import anything unless you are willing to spend hours doing it yourself.
They lead you to believe they will help, then only to lay it on that it isn't their responsibility to import but you suddenly need to figure out their programming, which commas to put in which spaces to indicate rates or their terms to fit into their system is virtually impossible.
We tried spent several hours and several sessions with several reps without any success beyond promises. Worst of the worst is their gracious, open and willingness to help sentiments don't fall from the finance department tree, they will hook you for everything and consider the contract breached because they have their system online for you. If you're too stupid to install it then you're still obligated.
I never had any part successfully or completely set up and they charged me the first month which a representative tried to push back knowing when you pay for something you get nothing from you dissolve all trust with them. They are gracious enough then not to charge the entire year for their contract that they never fulfilled their end of the promises to help get setup and only charged 3 mos of the year as a cancellation fee for something never set up, available or used at all. Not to mention the time and efforts put into attempting to do the setup the way they think it should go.
They are beyond the clouds, maybe heading in a good direction but if you go into this with their terms be warned it won't be their fault only yours and you'll pay regardless. This was not a first attempt but was dumber than the first when the contract was pushed but discovering not all the features they want are not actually working but rather in the process.. it's only a good dream and hopeful thinking. Run your business on that and you'll be left in the dust. Good luck if you get hooked in and check the reports at the BBB before you get into bed with these cloud blowers.
Report 'We've been using Cloudbeds'?
We've been using Cloudbeds since December (78 beds, scaling up to 150 later in the year), and it by and large works really well. My issues are pretty small in the big scale of things; mostly centred around reporting etc. We started out fresh, so didn't have to do any importing, which I understand is a huge problem regardless of where you go/who you move to. No two systems are alike, so the easiest is almost to manually do it I've heard.
If you are looking for a different PMS that gieves you better value, you may find Cloud Hote ERP developed by my team interesting.
It is a robust hotel management software with a complete set of features you can find on any HMS.
Apart from that, the pricing is also very attractive. The full package costs only $4/room for a month.
Moreoer, the users of Cloud Hotel ERP can also get commission-free booking through their OTA website. This is incredible. You or your guests don't have to pay a single penny as a commission to a OTA if you are using Cloud Hotel ERP.
You can have a demo and two week trail to ensure it is the right choice for your hotel.

JONATHAN GABB
3 October - 16 November 2013
Opera Rose
3 October – 16 November 2013
Private View: 03 October 2013 18.00 – 21.00
A Brooks Art is pleased to present Opera Rose a solo show of new works by Jonathan Gabb.
'With a painting, people expect paint on a canvas or pigment in liquid on a flat surface, I'm trying to do something different. I want to transform it into something else – the paint is freed from a fixed surface and can be viewed as an object.'
London based artist Jonathan Gabb's sculptural paintings confound with every turn and corner. Gabb's three-dimensional paintings combine acrylics with PVA glues to make unique forms. The eponymous title of the show at A Brooks Art Opera Rose refers to an electric pink acrylic paint. A paint colour whose name fascinates and is pink!, very pink! and very bright; however this work is an abstract and complex investigation into the layering of colour, light and form within space. This new work will be installed in a former Victorian florist and fruiterer now a gallery in Hoxton Street London and is a site-specific response to this regenerated space.
Critic Helen Sumpter suggests in her recent essay on Gabb: 'It's almost as if Gabb had taken something of the cool colour field paintings of Barnet Newman and turned them into something like the gestural action paintings of Jackson Pollock… These extraordinary artworks could also be seen as somewhat flighty but if they've become sculpture, paintings should at least stay fixed in their final form, shouldn't they? Gabb's paintings have no reticence in turning that convention upside down.'
Talks and Events
As part of the Art Licks Festival Weekend 4th – 6th October 2013 a series of events will take place during the exhibition. Including:
Studio Visit: 6th October 2013 12-6pm. Jonathan Gabb's studio in south London.
Art Skype: 6th October 2013 12-6pm. Visitors to A Brooks Art will be able to join the studio visit live with informal artist Q&A for gallery and studio visitors alike. Studio visit open in tandem with gallery opening and art skype 12-6pm.
Artist Talk: 7th November 2013 18.30-19.30. Book tickets here.
Jonathan Gabb is an artist who has been exploring the idea of paint as object since graduating from Cass school of art at London Metropolitan University in 2008. Winner of the WW Solo award 2012, Gabb has had his first solo exhibition at the WW Gallery in January 2013. He has participated in a number of group exhibitions at the Islington Arts Factory, the Royal College of Art and at the Gallery Miroslav Kraljevic.
