I know Mike is an avid reader of Property118 and possibly also Property Tribes and even though we had some heated exchanges and several fundamental differences of opinion I will not reveal his identity. He may however, wish to post on this thread - he is a regular poster here under the pseudonym "Industry Observer".
So why are landlords allowed to let their own properties?
"What chance have private Landlords got of getting it right? I don't blame them but I do think tenants need protecting from it. Housing is just too important in my view."
"Depends if the house is safe of course, whether you have had the gas boiler gas safe registered in the last 5 years, will come barging in when me and my missus are in bed (drunk and with a baseball bat in your hand etc etc) and so on. You get the picture? What risk anyway? The Law is on tenant's side but only short term all cards are in LL hand in long game."
"You are convinced any private Landlord should retain the right to let their property and manage it themselves with minimal intrusion and interference from outside. Fine – forget you are an expert and socially conscious and legally aware Landlord. You give me 6 good reasons why these other not their fault necessarily but unaware Landlords should be allowed to. If you get past 3 I will be impressed!!"
Below are some extracts of from the emails and the points I made to counter Mike's arguments. Note that I did not take up his challenge, I want the landlord community to do that because I suspect that as landlords we are going to have to deal with a lot more people like Mike in the not too distant future. Politicians and the mainstream press will no doubt encourage it as it makes for good reading and potential vote winning campaigns. As landlords we are considered to be soft targets. We must unite and fight back!
Mike, what's your definition of a competent letting agent? I've walked into several letting agents offices with a national presence which are members of ARLA, NALS, SAFEagent, RICS etc. and I have been greeted by completely incompetent clueless bimbo's offering advice on lettings to both landlords and tenants. These firms operate in every City and most towns. How would you stop this?
If a licence was no more expensive or difficult to obtain than a TV licence I think that would be fair. Then, when landlords are found guilty of the types of criminal activities you have described below the licence should be revoked. Lesser offences are already punishable by fines, e.g. no gas safety certificate or failure to protect a deposit etc. With regards to lesser offences, licencing of landlords could operate on a three strikes and you are out basis. If it was made illegal for mortgage lenders to lend to unlicensed landlords and for Courts to take possession of any let properties from unlicensed landlords and sell them at auction that would certainly cut out 90%+ of the problems don't you agree? Trouble is, that's the concept on which legislation is often first discussed, then the do good numpties in Whitehall start bolting stuff on like exams, compulsory CPD, submissions to regulators etc. and economies go into reverse thereafter very quickly in real terms, viz financial services as a result of the FSA.
So, who wants to be first to take up Mike's challenge?
"You give me 6 good reasons why these other not their fault necessarily but unaware Landlords should be allowed to. If you get past 3 I will be impressed"
Don't get it as LL are heavily regulated as it is.
We HAVE to comply with the law.
Sufficient laws exist to police LL.
Damp in house and mould, get the council EHO round, they can force LL to carry out works or shut the property down.
If the existing legal entities did their job properly then there would be no issue with LL .
If the law can't trap tax evaders who owe millions what chance the local council housing dept of doing their job properly.
Licencing won't achieve a thing apart from create civil servant non-jobs.
LL are not allowed not to know things as if they don't know they could be subject to legal processes.
If they don't know, that is their lookout.
Compliance with the LAW, I would have thought is a business imperative.
Pointless being a LL if you are locked up and cannot spend all your ill-gotten rent monies!
Those that don't need prosecuting but don't.
Councils have reduced their housing enforecement officers etc, just ask Ben Reeve-Lewis about his workload!?
If laws were enforced that would get rid of most rogue LL.
How many cars are driven with dodgy MOT's!!!?
How many pensions advisors are being done for mis-selling and the companies themselves!
How many surgeons are struck off for incompetence despite licencing.
There are thousands of hotels and B & B's that are licenced and subject to many laws.
Are they all of the same standard...NO but they are all regulated.
The same applies with LL.
Nobody forces someone to stay at a down at heel B & B rather than a 5 star hotel.
All regulated but different standards.
For the money you have you have to make a choice as to what you can afford, a spanking modern flat or a sad mid-terrace up North.
We have a market economy which correctly policed will generate market choices by providers and users.
Well, first of all Mike - if you are reading this - I feel your pain.
It seems you have had a bad experience of Landlords and I can only empathise because I know that there are some rogue landlords out there who treat tenants like "sh*t".
In my recent blog I stated that to "de-humanise the tenant into a rental payment is the worst things a landlord can do".
Unfortunately, a culture of "great rich quick through property" has built up in the last decade and attracted a significant number of people into the arena who only think about how they can make as much money as possible while giving the minimum of effort, and not even knowing or bothering to understand their legal obligations.
The answer is to empower tenants to know how to vet their landlord!
This would mean that the rogue landlords would be outed out of the business because they could not rent their properties.
Like any arena, there are good service providers and bad service providers. Education is key to get tenants to understand how important it is to find a professional landlord and lettings agent.
The private rented sector provides a huge amount of housing and there is currently no appetite for government regulation ... so we, as landlords, have to self-regulate and promote best practice.

New Zealand, the world's biggest dairy exporter, will spend more than NZ$880 million (€522 million) in a bid to eradicate the mycoplasma bovis cattle disease, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Monday.
About 126,000 cows are expected to be culled, mainly over the next two years, as government and industry work to depopulate all infected farms, the government said in a statement.
The disease, which is common in many countries, was first detected in New Zealand at a farm in the South Island last July and some 37 properties have now tested positive for the illness.
"Today's decision to eradicate is driven by the government's desire to protect the national herd from the disease and protect the base of our economy – the farming sector," Ardern said in a statement.
Mycoplasma bovis can lead to conditions such as udder infection, pneumonia and arthritis in affected cattle, but does not pose a food safety risk or any risk to humans.
The initial outbreak led to concerns that the disease could affect market access for New Zealand's dairy products, and caused a brief dip in the New Zealand dollar.
The government would contribute about NZ$591 million to the eradication programme, while the rest would be borne by industry bodies and farmers, Ardern said. The bulk of the work would take place in the next two years.
New Zealand's dairy sector contributes about NZ$7.8 billion annually to the country's gross domestic product and accounts for around a fifth of the country's exports.

3 Safe Internet Tips For Families
This year, it is becoming increasingly clear that the digital world allows us to spark curiosity, exploration and creativity, especially for children.
However, while the internet opens up a world of learning and inspiration, it can also expose them to increasingly diverse and increasing digital dangers.
On this year's National Family Day, Google wants to share 3 tips to help families create healthy digital habits for you parents and kids alike, so you don't fall into the trap of misinformation and stay safe online.
Make sure the password is strong
With AI-based technology, every day, Google blocks 100 million phishing attempts and 15 billion spam messages on Gmail.
An important key to protecting yourself on the internet is choosing a strong and difficult to guess password, especially for your Google Account.
Also read: Avira Antivirus ; Virus Cleaner & VPN Mod Apk (Pro)
That's why improvements are being made to proactively keep your Google account and passwords strong. The newest is a more secure way to authenticate your identity and build layered protection into your Google Account, which is automatic registration on 2-step verification.
Then upgrade the Password Manager feature built right into Chrome, Android, and now iOS, to help you remember, store, and autofill passwords across the web.
In May, Google also announced improvements to Password Manager to automatically warn you if it detects that one of your saved passwords has been compromised due to a data breach by a third party.
Guide your family to find suitable content
Based on a survey released in February 2021 by our Trust Research team with parents and children aged 18 years and over across Asia Pacific and Latin America, it was found that one of the concerns of parents in Indonesia is that children view inappropriate content. on the Internet.
So it's a good idea to keep your children away from content that may not be age-appropriate. By taking advantage of all existing supporting features, such as SafeSearch on Google which helps filter explicit content in search results both images, videos, and websites; to parental controls available on YouTube Kids which allow parents to only show videos you approve, or select content that is appropriate based on your child's age, to Family Link which allows parents to monitor device usage time and limit daily access, manage Accounts Google them, and better understand children's behavior while surfing the internet.

But regardless of the features available, open communication within the family is very important. However, in the same survey it was stated that more than a third of parents interviewed never discussed online safety with their children and more than 70% of parents surveyed were not too sure that their children would ask them for help if faced with a difficult situation. not safe online.
Don't fall into the misinformation trap
Social isolation is a difficult impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result we are looking for new ways to stay connected with our friends and family online.
This means that we cannot avoid the sheer volume of information and claims that are spread across the internet or on social media and it is difficult to determine which news is true and which is not, especially if you have not been trained to look for it.

However, fact checking isn't just for professionals. Every day, people look for evidence to confirm or disprove information they doubt.
Google Trends over the past 12 months shows that searches for the phrase "is it true" are higher than "how to make an odading" on Google. When you first receive information, make it a habit to fact-check it so you can distinguish misinformation on the internet.

Once Upon a Time {Season one}
This weekend Sam and I finished both seasons of Once Upon a Time on Netflix. I started it a few weeks ago but after getting back from Disneyland and seeing some of the costumes on display, I wanted to get back into it. And then I accidentally got Sam hooked on it too, so a sick day turned into a Once Upon a Time marathon.
It's a show about all those familiar storybook characters we know from books and movies, who get cursed into living in our world. They don't remember they're from a magical world, and they can't leave the town, which is ruled by the evil queen who of cast the spell and of course remembers everything. You still with me?
Her adopted son finds his birthmother and brings her to the town thinking she can break the curse. He figures this out from a book of stories he carries around and spots parallels in the characters in the book, and the townspeople. So each episode jumps between the present in this world and the past in their world.
It's a really fun show, the costumes are over the top, there's such nice eye candy (I do appreciate quality eye candy), the twists on classic fairy-tales are so interesting, and best of all the female rolls are anything but traditional damsels in distress. It's a mainstream show with an even male/female ratio and comparative complexity in their stories and personalities, and that alone makes it good in my book.

Isn't this show awesome? Glad to hear you're a fan too.
Helen Le Caplain said...
Sounds like a great show - need to look into this!
Love the ethereal quality of the fairy story characters... I can see why you both became hooked!

I was kinda sad that the huntsman had to die, he was cute:)
By the way, have you noticed how the baddies in the series are kinda hot? the Mad Hatter for example? :)

List Addict said...
I just started watching this recently myself and am pretty hooked. It's fabulous. And you're right - they're amazing female roles.
alittlevintagestory said...
I totally got hooked on this when I was laid up sick on a holiday to Thailand! It was the only show playing in English on TV, so I watched back to back episodes (often in no particular order). Loved it!
Foxy Coxy said...
The second season has just finished on TV in the UK so I have a bit of a whole in my Sunday night viewing now!
But I love this programme too!
There is so much going on you really have to pay attention, but I love that you get the back stories to everyone and that it isn't the sweetness and light fairytales I read as a kid!

I cannot get enough of this show.

Looks interesting! I've never heard of it, but will keep it in mind. I'm always on the look out for a new series :)
Lexi said...
I love this show! I started watching it when it first came out, just because it's supposed to be set in Maine and that's where I live. At first I didn't have high hopes for it. But then I got totally addicted, and I got everyone in my family addicted. I'm really excited for the new season that's about to start, and I'm excited for the new spin of series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. I can't wait!
Mademoiselle Maladroite said...
The show was on TV here in Germany some time ago. I liked it right away and never missed an episode. Glad you like it too.
Sara Strauss {Sincerely, Sara} said...
I love this show so much! I can't wait for it to come back! Also, I'm looking forward to the spin-off, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland! It's a mix between Alice in Wonderland and Aladdin!
Hmm... I've passed this on Netflix a hundred times and now I'm thinkin' I should check it out. So pretty & it sounds really interesting.

Well, I guess I know what I'm knitting to after I finish Six Feet Under!
Kelly Sedinger said...
This show can be REALLY maddening at times...but we can't stop watching, either!
I'm so glad you're enjoying Once Upon A Time! One of my besties told me I had to watch it, if only for the clothes. Needless to say, I got hooked!
Autumn said...
There is also the bonus of adoring every single thing Mary Margaret wears in this show. I think I have knitted every hat in this show also...
I really love the show although I don't like what season two made of Prince Charming.
The costumes are great, though, and so are most of the characters!
Sarah D said...
My friend Sonequa is on that show! We were in theater together in Alabama. So proud of her; she's awesome.
I've started watching this show. You're right, it's great!
checked out the show and now i'm hooked! thanks for introducing me to it:)

OUaT is my absolute favorite show! If you're on twitter, check out @Angbc13 - she works in costuming for Once Upon A Time and sometimes tweets fun behind the scenes photos of fittings, pieces they're working on, props, etc!

Germans lament blown opportunities in double overtime loss
By Bobby Nightengale
Photo by Mike Yoder
German guard Konstantin Klein (0) gets in an argument with Team USA guard Nic Moore (3) in a Team USA gold-medal game against Germany Monday, July 13, at the World University Games in South Korea.
Gwangju, South Korea — Watching the United States' men's basketball team celebrate its World University Games gold medal, Germany's men's basketball players stood on the other side of the court with their hands on their heads after USA's 84-77, double-overtime victory on Monday at Yeomju Gymnasium.
The Germans knew they had their chances to win, and that's what hurt the most.
"It's a very tough loss for everybody," Germany coach Henrik Rödl said. "It's a big game. It felt like both teams deserved to win. We had big chances before the regular time was out. The first overtime, seemed like we had them. Then they got back in there and got it tied. At the end, we made a couple mistakes too many to win the game."
Germany had a four-point lead, 66-62, with 1:39 left in regulation, but two defensive fouls led to free throws from Kansas University senior forward Perry Ellis and junior point guard Frank Mason III.
With 20 seconds left in regulation, tied 66-all, Germany had the ball with no shot clock, but Mason stole the ball from German guard Maodo Lo and nearly won the game before Mason lost the ball trying to go up for a layup.

"We had some chances," Rödl said. "We had the ball in our hands. We didn't get a shot up (in regulation). With 20 seconds to go, we had the ball and they almost made one. We got away with it and stole the ball back. But at the end of the day, we had the ball with 20 seconds and should've had the last shot, and we didn't get one."
In the first overtime, Germany held a four-point lead with 2:25 remaining in the period, but missed its next two shots and gave up two offensive rebounds to USA. German guard Konstantin Klein said tired legs weren't a factor.
"Both teams were tired, but if you're going for gold or playing your last game for gold, it doesn't matter if you're tired or not," said Klein, who had 10 points and four rebounds. "You want to win. It's tough when you're tired but it doesn't matter."
"It was a tough game for 50 minutes," Klein added. "I think we fought pretty good. At the end of the day, they made better plays than we did. They won the game. I don't know what to say. It's been a tough loss for us. We came here to win a gold medal."
Mason scored 11 points in the last 14 minutes with Germany's guards and forwards trying to stop him from driving into the paint.
"He's a pretty good player," Klein said of Mason. "He's got good ball-handling skills. He can penetrate. He can shoot the ball. He's the best point guard in the tournament. He did a pretty good job at the end of the day. Like at the end of the quarters, he finished a layup and he kind of won the game for the U.S. team."
Mason, Ellis and Kansas University junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. combined for 59 points, but they struggled from the field, shooting 29 percent (18-for-62). The three scored 38 of USA's 46 points in the second half and two overtimes.
"Selden, Ellis and Mason have been their three-point leaders," Rödl said. "Obviously it was a main focus (on defense). They played a lot of minutes. You've got to put your hats off to them with how many minutes they played. They stuck with it and played well at the end. Selden made a huge shot at the end for them to go up (in the second overtime).
"But I did think that our guys guarded pretty good to contain them. It's a tough game. These guys are good."

Great win for KU. I had my doubts but Frank willed them to the win!
Rodney, no truer words have ever been spoken.
Of all the teams that we played, the Germans had the best balance. That game could've gone the other way, but thanks to Frank, Wayne, Nic, and all, KU/USA gutted out the win!
Harlan Hobbs 5 years, 6 months ago
It's easy to do when you win, but hats off to the German team. They made their countrymen proud just as the USA team did. We are used to losing some tough, close games, so we know how the Germans feel. Nevertheless, congratulations to them, and it appears that the two best teams in the tournament played for the gold.
John Randall 5 years, 6 months ago
The German team was suspect because they had no games where they needed to go all out, all game long.
They did much better in the final than most expected. KU/USA just had the bigger hearts and that trumped many things the Germans were bigger and better at. Jayhawks had fewer exceptional plays, but made the most of every one of them count. Imagine 6'8"-9" with a 10-rebound advantage and more second-chance points than 7'3" and two more at 7' or more!


During the first quarter of 2017, compared with the first quarter of 2016, there has been an 86 percent spike in anti-Semitic incidents nationwide, according to the Anti-Defamation League. Among those 541 preliminarily identified incidents were 380 cases of harassment and 155 reports of vandalism—as well as the wave of 161 bomb threats against Jewish institutions.
I decided to take a closer look at what's happening at Bay Area public schools, requesting records of reported anti-Semitic activity from approximately 40 districts in the region. Those records showed a spike in incidents at schools in nearly every county, from Marin to the Peninsula to the East Bay and beyond.
So far this year, 29 anti-Semitic incidents have been reported by more than 25 schools—compared with 25 incidents reported by more than 16 schools in all of 2016. Some schools have experienced multiple incidents, while others faced ongoing problems in the classroom. Many of the incidents have not been reported in the news media, and some parents of the affected students have complained about slow or lackluster responses from administrators and school districts.
Unfortunately, I believe that last statement from Max is more common than one would expect. There is a general unwillingness for schools to report when these incidents occur. Even at a good public school like the one I work at, the general tendency is to try and deal with these issues discretely and not draw attention from community activists.
My school experienced a number of anti-Semitic incidents this year. To the administrator's credit, public events were held and speakers were brought in to speak with students about said occurrences. Having some experience in this realm, I sat down with the students who had used anti-Semitic language or mocked Jewish students.
In each case, the students were a bit perplexed that their actions were being treated so seriously. The language they used was abundantly common in the digital realms they congregated; the meme culture and anonymity of the Internet has allowed for a proliferation of casual anti-Semitism among young people. While recognizing that they had done something wrong, as these slurs were ubiquitous online, the students felt they were no different than any other schoolyard insult.
It is a troubling trend, and clearly not one portions of the left have any interest in addressing.

Q: Backbone global success handling In our project we use backbone to access a REST service.
This service delivers an HTTP Header that contains a kind of session token to authenticate the current user.
This token changes on every request.
We use this token with our Login Model to determine if a login is need on the current route.
The first idea was using jQuery.ajaxSuccess.
$(document).ajaxSuccess(function(event, xhr, settings) {
    updateToken(xhr);
});

Works nearly but the global success is triggered after the success handlers in backbone.
So if any backbone success handler starts a new request to the server, it has an old token at this moment and the request will be rejected.
Call updateToken in every success handler or continuing processing using setTimeout is to much effort and error prone. it may be forgotten.
Now we created this solution
var BBsync = Backbone.sync;
Backbone.sync = function(method, model, options) {
    var success = options.success;
    options.success = function(model, response, options) {
        updateToken(options);
        success(model, response, options);
    };
    return BBsync.call(this, method, model, options);
};

All success methods are wrapped.
Is there any risk in this solution?
Have we overlooked something?
Any better solutions?

A: I can confirm that your approach works as we do the same thing for the same reason.

Dubai, 30 June 2021
The day 2 highlights from the Arab Fashion Week Mens for SS22
The second day of the Men's Arab Fashion Week has featured 5 regional and international designers who premiered their fashion films for Spring-Summer 2022. Below are some of the key highlights of the second day.
TODD HESSERT
Member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America
Todd Hessert showcased his MetaHuman collection during the Arab Fashion Week Men's Official calendar, in a fully virtual fashion show, rendered in 3D in a set of the extraterrestrial space. The American contemporary artist, fashion designer adopts an "all possibilities" mind-set. His inspiration is derived from the cognition and interpretation of the complex social culture, particularly the intersection of sustainable design and technology. Todd attaches his sense of design to the mysterious and cosmic universe, deeming that our inner world is an empowered and explorative existence. He believes our perception of the world is the echoing of our evolving heart and conscience. At the moment of making a decision or taking an action, no matter how small or large, we are always guided by morality, wisdom, interest, temptation, and ambition. The artist captures the essence of existing social and environmental elements, embodying his own insightfulness and observations, with the creation of genderless pieces. He references his collections as an emotional come-back to his true roots. The rationale behind his work is his past experiences, gained knowledge and scientific reflection.
This season, Todd has made the theme of super realistic virtual show by using Maya and other software, he named it "MetaHuman". The theme expresses the designer's view that in this changeable world, virtual human and virtual clothing break the boundary between the real and the virtual world, make the boundary more and more fuzzy. He thinks virtual clothing has become one of the trends in the world fashion market. In special circumstances, super realistic virtual fashion have become the substitute for real fashion and more and more attention has been paid to. Todd uses high-level super realism technology to design the collection and inherits the tech-prints to give fashion which brings sense of future vision, it fully embodies the DNA of the brand.
LGN, LOUIS GABRIEL NOUCHI
Presented by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) on the Arab Fashion Week Men's Official calendar, the Parisian fashion label has showcased its Spring Summer 2022 collection during the second day of the fashion week.
Always influenced by literature, Louis Gabriel Nouchi presents this season "UNAUTHORIZED". Without naming the novel, Louis Gabriel delivers his definition of sensuality, inspired by one of the most famous French authors, who retraces in her work with autobiographical features, her childhood and her adolescence in French Indochina. In a warm and humid atmosphere, the silhouettes intermingle, brush against each other and reveal the forbidden love story between a young girl and a rich Chinese lover. This collection marks the advent of homewear; indoor bathrobes, striped pajamas, satin lingerie. The notion of indoor clothing to be worn outside is taken to its peak. It symbolizes the fluidity of genres, while retaining the tailor-made construction codes and the brand's own elegance.
LGN favors natural materials on all silhouettes such as linen, used for several seasons, Cupro, organic cotton. For this new collection, he works with natural coffee, beech and hazelnut-based dyes to create a range of softness. A new pattern inspired by marbled papers adorns iconic pieces, a nod to the interiors of old books. This pattern is available in different techniques – Digital printing on viscose, knitted jacquard for a mat and shiny tone-on-tone pattern, burned out on a jersey base for transparency, or lasered on denim.
COUNCIL TALKS
Marriam Mossalli, Founder of Saudi Style Council and Niche Arabia in conversation with Serge Carreira, Head of the Emerging Brands Initiative The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode on "The fashion weeks digital experience, haute couture market, the future of the Fashion Weeks.
YASQUEEN
The Iranian – Istanbul based designer Neda Sadeghi and the creative director of YasQueen, showcased its SS22 collection mainly dominated by unusual black blazers strapped in tribute to the darkness and year of losses that 2020 has been and the creative depression caused by suppression. In 2016, Neda moved to Turkey to proceed with her fashion designer career. Due to being away from her hometown and the need to adjust to the new environment, she put her career on pause for a short period in Turkey. Despite all the struggles, she would spend her time playing the piano and find inspiration from music and colors to benefit her fashion line. After the pandemic hit, she started to realize the full potential of the year 2020 and took it as an opportunity for her collection and to launch her new menswear collection, inspired by the darkness and numerous losses in 2020 which led to light and revival in her design.
LAZOSCHMIDL
Presented by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) on the Arab Fashion Week Men's Official calendar, the Parisian fashion label has showcased his Spring Summer 2022 collection during the second day of the fashion week.
Lazoschmidl presented this season the Spring Summer 2022 collection under the name "Overdose" is all over the place and over the top. It re-introduces the concept of copy. The copy of previous prints and garments reimagined, and the use of copy in terms of language. Advertisement slogans and online shopping commands.
Consumerism is, in fact, sexy. And needed for the very own mental health. Delivering its own message of have nothing, and losing everything, but the possibility of having something. The collection featured an array of prints. The infamous cow prints. Op-art. Naive daisy flowers. Psychedelic lava print. Oh, and there is some tie-dye. It is very German techno in Los Angeles 2022. The brand added some butterfly tops, too, for your amusement. Fabrics, again, feature recycled PET bottles, super soft fluffy mohair knits, kinky patent and some sweaty sweats. It is a sugar-coated candy overdose.
Featured on the Arab Fashion Week official calendar in collaboration with the Saudi Style Council, Khalid Aljammaz the creative director of the brand 1886 Fashion, a Saudi Arabia based brand, has showcased for the first time during the second day of the Arab Fashion Week Men's his fashion label rooted especially in streetwear with high quality. 1886 was established in 2016 as a fashion line that integrates casual with elegant. A uniquely modern way of touches and reconstruction is implementing every element of creation Seasonal men's and women's collection. The brand premiered a fashion film shot at the futuristic NEOM of Saudi Arabia.

At that time, I was telling myself "hope that thing will not disturb me". After several minutes, my blanket started to move (that thing was pulling my blanket). Then I held it tight using all the energy that I have. After some struggle, the pulling stopped. But I continued to hold the blanket tight.
Several minutes passed, I slowly sneaked out to check whether that thing is still in my room or what and I couldn't see anything. Suddently, I have a very strong feeling that something is still in my room. Then I quickly get off my bed and switched on the light….. to my horror, that thing is sticking at the ceiling looking at me with his angry eyes and sound herrrrrr. I quickly ran out and knock on one of my colleague's room and shouted for help, the door opened. Then I quickly explained the whole scenario to 2 of them and they followed me to my room, looked around and found nothing.
A week later, I've resigned from the company. Until today, I am still afraid of staying alone and this type of encounter has never happen to me again.
A girl was possessed by a ghost inside her body and conquer her soul…..see her suffering while one fellow try to heal her….very interesting clip ..but not in english. This was happened in Brunei. That girl was possessed at her school and an Islam priest was called for help. The man read the Quran and requested the ghost to leave her body. He also requested the ghost not to possess others.
This was happenned to my dad several years ago. He is a taxi driver running day & night shift. My dad prefered night shift as the fare is higher. One night while he was surrounding a housing area, there was a lady waving to my dad's taxi. My dad stopped and picked her up, then asked her where she wanted to go. She replied with a place's name and he started his journey.
This photo was taken during the after we have completed the design to enter the School Design Competition. The camera-man immediately called us to view the photo from the viewfinder and there's a ghost running towards us. He then borrowed the school's computer to upload the photo and enlarge it and we were correct, there's really a ghost there.
This photo was taken at the accident place while I was stuck in the traffic jam. After transfering to the computer, I was shock to see the white spirit in the photo. Is the spirit the victim of the accident? OR Is the accident caused by the spirit? What do you think?

#1 Baltimore Museum of Art
Situated in Charles Village, just north of the downtown area, the Baltimore Museum of Art claims the title of largest art museum in Maryland. Filled with more 95,000 art pieces, including an impressive Matisse collection, donated by Baltimore natives Claribel and Etta Cone, the museum draws art enthusiasts from across the globe. An entire Cone Wing of the museum is devoted to the sisters' spectacular repertoire of paintings from distinguished artists like Matisse, Picasso and Cézanne. Recent visitors praised the extensive collection, citing free admission to the world-class museum as a major perk.
The museum is also home to one of the largest Andy Warhol collections in the world and features European sculptures, African and Asian arts, and decorative arts. The Contemporary Wing, which showcases works by women and artists of color, among others, and the sculpture garden, which hosts jazz sessions during the summer, are two main museum highlights.

Michigan's Good News from MLive.com and MLiveMediaGroup.com
Our Great State
From Hot Sauce to Craft Beer: MSU Agri-Food Leadership Makes Huge Economic Impact
Posted on February 26, 2019 by ceastway - Business, Innovation, Sponsor Content, Technology
Michigan State University by Michigan State University February 26, 2019
It wasn't long ago that Scotty and Suzi Owens were typical gardeners who enjoyed sharing some of their harvest with friends. The hot sauce they made with homegrown peppers got rave reviews, and people said they should go into business selling it.
When Scotty got laid off from his work in tool and die during Michigan's economic downturn, he and his wife did just that.
Fast forward to today and bottles of Scotty O'Hotty hot sauce and salsa are in grocery stores around the country. The couple's business is operating with seven employees out of a 17,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, and in 2019 they're on track to go nationwide in Kroger stores and begin exporting their award-winning products to China.
So, how in the world did that happen?
The Michigan State University Product Center recognized Suzi and Scotty Owens as 2018 entrepreneurs of the year.
"We had the dreamiest stars in our eyes, but I was almost at a brick wall at what to do," Scotty Owens said. "MSU really steered us in the right direction." The Owens came across the Michigan State University Product Center in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. There they received guidance on the rules and regulations involved in making a food product, took classes on bottling, learned about labeling and in 2012 got licensed to work out of a commercial kitchen.
A year later Scotty O'Hotty was on the shelves in small grocery stores that the Owens connected with through MSU's Making It In Michigan food show, and the business has been growing ever since. Earlier this year the MSU Product Center named Scotty and Suzi Owens their entrepreneurs of the year.
Scotty O'Hotty is just one of many success stories at the MSU Product Center, which helps start or expand businesses in the agriculture and food sector. Just last year, the Product Center helped launch 87 new Michigan businesses that invested $35 million into the economy and created 350 new jobs.
But the MSU Product Center is just one way that MSU has been helping to grow the state's food and agriculture system over the past 160 years. As the country's pioneer land-grant institution, the then-Michigan Agricultural College has been a leader in practical, science-based education from the start, and even though the name has changed agriculture remains an important area of research, with a big impact on the Michigan economy.
"The idea of us being here to help support and build and grow the agriculture and natural resources industries of the state goes back to the very beginning," said Douglas Buhler, director of MSU AgBioResearch and assistant vice president of research and graduate studies.
Back in the mid-1800s, MSU was established by federal law as an agricultural school — the first to teach scientific agriculture. It became the prototype for the nation's land-grant institutions, which were created to promote both the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes. Though MSU now carries out that mission across a wide range of disciplines, the original focus was agriculture.
Before the start of the 20th century, MSU had birthed groundbreaking agricultural advances including the development of hybrid corn to increase yields and the discovery that a swath of Michigan is fertile ground for sugar beets. Pioneering work has continued on everything from the process used in the homogenization of milk to how Michigan farmers can grow hops for the state's booming craft beer sector.
Nearly 5,000 students are studying in dozens of degree and certificate programs through Michigan State University's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
And today MSU is a global leader in agricultural education, using scientific research to address real-world problems and help agri-food businesses implement solutions.
MSU has played no small role in Michigan's massive food and agriculture economy, which fuels more than 800,000 jobs and makes an annual impact of more than $100 billion, according to a 2018 study. Here are just a few glimpses of the breadth of MSU's engagement in the industry:
Preparing tomorrow's agricultural leaders
Today, MSU's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources includes nearly 5,000 students studying in dozens of degree and certificate programs in forestry, animal science, crop and soil science, horticulture and many others.
"Through our educational programs we train the next generation of agri-food leaders both in the public sector and in the private sector," said Bill Knudson, a professor in MSU's Department of Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics. "We have a lot of two-year programs as well, geared primarily toward people who will be working on the farm both in the crop area and the livestock area.
Michigan State University student Loren G. King is studying how technology such as drones and autonomous vehicles can make farm operation more efficient.
"Not only do we train our workers, but we also train our regulators. We'd have a much less safe food supply (without MSU's leadership)."
Among those thousands of students is Loren G. King, who comes from a family farm in southwest Michigan and is learning about agriculture technology. Looking at global population estimates during his lifetime, the 20-year-old knows that the food and agriculture system will have to produce more and, to remain sustainable, do so while using fewer inputs such as fertilizer.
So, he's studying how farms could deploy autonomous vehicles and drones to become more efficient. He envisions a completely cloud-based farm where managers can use mobile devices to gauge moisture and nutrient levels to see how crops are doing.
"It's about expanding the efficiency of the farmer right now," King said. "You've got to feed more people while using less."
Bringing innovation into everyday life
Embedded in the DNA of a land-grant institution like MSU is the drive to use cutting-edge scientific tools to address problems and forge new opportunities. Because of that, food and agriculture study at MSU is definitely "not a science for science's sake operation," Buhler said.
A benefit of MSU's research is that Michigan has developed the country's second most-diverse agricultural economy. In addition to staples such as corn, milk and eggs, the state's agriculture sector is full of smaller, specialty crops from asparagus to wine grapes.
Some of Michigan's fruit varieties, for example, have been developed by MSU on nearly 20,000 acres that are used for agriculture and natural resources research and education throughout the state.
Michigan State University professor Rufus Isaacs is a leading researcher on the invasive spotted wing drosophila insect.But that diversity also breeds new challenges. Fortunately, MSU also is at the forefront of combating new crop diseases and pests. For example, professor Rufus Isaacs this month made a list of the world's most Highly Cited Researchers for his work on the spotted wing drosophila, an invasive insect that damages fruit crops. Isaacs is just one of many MSU food and agriculture experts on the list.
"The large companies that are there to support major corn, soybean and dairy are not available for a lot of these smaller, more specialized industries," Buhler said. "If we're not there to help them with their latest insect, there aren't a lot of options. If we weren't here I don't know who would fill that gap in all these specialty areas.
"Not many years ago there were almost no hops grown in Michigan. Had MSU not been here to help people learn how to manage hops and control diseases I don't think it would have happened."
Aside from immediate threats, MSU also is researching long-term challenges from food waste to world hunger through efforts including the Global Center for Food Systems Innovation and the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Security Policy. Climate change poses another problem, and MSU's Plant Resilience Institute is working to improve the ability of crops to handle weather extremes.
"Minor changes in weather could have a real impact on us," Buhler said.
Helping communities grow
Not only does MSU do research to support Michigan's food and agriculture system and educate the next generation of industry leaders, the university also takes what it learns and shares it with the broader public. That work takes many forms including the new "Food @ MSU. Our Table" program, which helps people make better-informed choices about food.
In an era where the population is both growing and becoming more urbanized, it's easy for people to be even more disconnected from the sources of the food they eat. That's why MSU also is active in urban agriculture around the state, including the new MSU Detroit Partnership for Food, Learning and Innovation.
Michigan State University's first urban food research center is being established in northwest Detroit through the new MSU Detroit Partnership for Food, Learning and Innovation.
MSU is establishing its first urban food research center on a 2.5-acre former school site in a northwest Detroit neighborhood. The findings on everything from soil remediation to fertilizer and pesticide use will inform urban growers around Michigan and beyond.
"When you're growing food in an urban setting it's very different than in an open space," said Dave Ivan, MSU Extension director of community, food and environmental programming. "This new center really will provide an opportunity for us to plant a flag in an area, working with a lot of the existing leaders in the Detroit urban ag movement in terms of how we can help you address the challenges you're facing."
We have a lot of credibility in communities, so people trust the information that we provide. They know that we're scientific in terms of guiding our recommendations or framing an issue."

Q: Selenium, Java stale element reference with PageFactory Hi all i've recently started learning selenium and I just made my first test. Sadly this tests is very flaky and fails about 30 % of the time due to:

org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

I thought using the PageFactory.initElements was a way to combat this. Yet it does not seem to work. Here is how i've implemented it.
public class PageObject  {
    public PageObject() {
        final WebDriver webDriver = WebDriverManager.getDriverFromPool();
        PageFactory.initElements(new AjaxElementLocatorFactory(webDriver, 10), this);
    }
}

class Frontpage extends PageObject {
    @FindBy(id="search-results")
    private WebElement results;

    @FindBy(id="search")
    private WebElement searchBox;

    public Frontpage() {
        super();
    }

    public void resultPrinter() {
        List<WebElement> resultList = results.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
        for(WebElement element : resultList) {
            System.out.println(element.getAttribute("id")); //this part is flaky
        }
    }

    public void searchForUser(String user) {
        searchBox.click();
        searchBox.clear();
        searchBox.sendKeys(user);
    }
}

and here is how its used:
public void userSearchTest() {
    Frontpage fp = new Frontpage();
    fp.searchForUser("Adam");
}

public void validateUserResult() {
    Frontpage fp = new Frontpage();
    fp.resultPrinter(); //fails here sometimes
}

A: It's caused by dynamic DOM.
When you launch the  List<WebElement> resultList = results.findElements(By.tagName("tr")); command it returns some list of elements according to the tagName you provided. However this occurs during the process of DOM building, so when you trying to iterate through these elements part of them may disappear / change so the element you are referencing to is no more exists.
The simplest way to work with dynamic DOM pages is each time the DOM / page is reloaded / rebuilt is to give some enough delay time and only after that to deal with it's elements.

Odd Sports You Didn't Know Were in the Olympics
Despite being the most prestigious sporting event in the world, the Olympics is not without its share of oddities. These strange and obscure sporting events only make the Olympics history even more worth checking out. After reading this, you will feel glad that some of the games are no longer featured in the modern Olympics, for valid reasons. Here are some of them:
1. Solo synchronized swimming
Solo synchronized swimming became an official Olympic event when it was first introduced in Los Angeles Games in 1984. Swimmer Tracie Ruiz from the United States won the gold medal in this peculiar event.
The sport is like the synchronized swimming in groups, only you're doing it alone. It's totally oxymoronic, but sports officials and organizers argued that the swimmer was in dancing sync to the background music. It was discontinued in 1992 and it looks like we're not going to see it quite soon!
2. Club swinging
Club swinging was officially introduced in the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Many say that this club swinging was the ancestor to the current sporting events that use hoops and ribbons.
Club swinging involves an athlete who stands straight and erect and holds two clubs (that resemble the ones used in juggling, but bigger and heavier) in each hand. Then the player twirls, spins and whirls them around. The player who does the most complicated routine wins the most points and, eventually, the gold medal.
3. Tug-of-war
You can see tug-of-war in school games, fairs, and other amateur and professional sporting competitions. But did you know that it used to be an Olympic sport? The tug-of-war used to be part of the Summer Olympics from 1900 to 1920. It is now part of the World Games, an organization that features sporting events which have not been played in the Olympics (although the organization is officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee).
4. Live pigeon shooting
Pigeon shooting used to be a dominant in the modern Olympics since it inaugurated in 1896. At first, participants usually opened fire at clay pigeons. But in the 1900 Paris Games, they released real, live birds into the air and athletes aimed their rifles at their flying targets. This bloody sporting event resulted into 300 pigeons killed, with the winner bringing down a total of 21.
Fortunately, the 1900 Paris Games became the only time that live pigeon shooting was played in the Olympics.
5. Rope climb
Rope climb actually used to be an Olympic sporting event. It was first introduced when the modern Olympics was inaugurated in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Originally, participating athletes were judged based on their climbing speed and style. But by the early 20th century, it simply became more of a racing game where athletes were out-climbing each other to the top.
The most notable winner was US Olympian George Eyser, who won a gold medal in this sporting event during the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. What's more impressive is that he finished first despite wearing a wooden prosthetic leg.
6. Dueling pistols
Before you raise your eyebrows at this part of the article, take note that the Olympics' version of the dueling pistols is nothing like what you see in the usual Wild West confrontations.
In fact, dueling in the Olympics didn't end up with bloodshed and violence because there was no dueling actually happening in the first place. Here, participants aimed their pistols and shot at dummies clad in frock coats, which stood 20 or 30 meters away from the shooter.
This event appeared in the unofficial Intercalated Games in Athens, Greece in 1906, and was played as a non-medal event in the 1908 London Olympics.

TV review by Ashley Moulton, Common Sense Media
Intense Marvel series has psychological suspense, violence.
Disney+ Action 2022
Parents need to know that Moon Knight is a six-episode miniseries based on the same-named Marvel comic. Starring Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke, it leans more into the psychological thriller category than Marvel's typical superhero fare. There's intense suspense, an uber-creepy villain, and monsters that lurk in the shadows. The actual violence is somewhat toned down, as a lot of it is implied rather than shown, though you can expect bloody gun injuries and death throughout. There's moderate profanity ("ass," "s--t," "bloody hell"), as well as insults like "idiot" and "stupid." While Moon Knight doesn't sit in the horror genre, teens (and adults) who aren't into intense scary moments may want to sit out this entry in the MCU.

Chaotic, bizarre, but thrilling new TV show
Really good so far. Not your typical Marvel TV show. Less superhero comic and more psychological thriller/psychological realism. It is a strange mixture of action, comedy, and thriller. The Mummy meets The Bourne Identity meets 12 Monkeys. Also some Stranger Things vibes. The main character struggles with mental illness (dissociative identity disorder) and severe insomnia. There is violence but nothing more than what you would see in an average Marvel movie. As stated in the CSM expert review, a lot of it is implied rather than shown. A couple of swears (a**, sh*t, h*ll) but nothing major. May be too intense for younger children but older kids will enjoy it. Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke do a phenomenal job portraying these characters. This is a must-watch. Can't wait for the next episode.
Too much violence

LOVING IT SO FAR
This is a really good show and unlike anything that we've seen before in the MCU. There's a lot of mystery, suspense, and thriller. There's also the confusion that both the audience and Steven feels. The locations and context of the scenes keep suddenly changing, which I know is intentional. There is so much going on, and it keeps you engaged. I have to admit, I think this show should've started off with a two-episode premiere. It might be one of the better Marvel Disney+ shows.

With MOON KNIGHT, Marvel brings a lesser-known comic book character to life on-screen. Londoner Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) is a museum gift shop cashier who can't understand why he suffers from constant sleepwalking episodes and frequently loses track of time. Eventually he realizes that his intensely terrifying dreams are actually happening. When he blacks out, he is sharing his body with ex-U.S. military mercenary Marc Spector. Marc/Steven has dissociative identity disorder, and also embodies the Egyptian god Khonshu and the vigilante superhero Moon Knight, Khonshu's human avatar. Together, Marc/Steven's identities are waging a battle against Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke), leader of a cult who worships ancient Egyptian goddess Ammit. Arthur believes he is carrying out Ammit's will by killing people who have an inherently bad human nature. Can Moon Knight navigate his multiple identities and Arthur's connection to powerful Egyptian deities as he aims to triumph over evil?
This Marvel TV miniseries follows in the footsteps of WandaVision with a more experimental approach, to its benefit. Moon Knight doesn't have blockbuster movie battle scenes, amazing visual effects, or incredible superhero gadgets and powers. Instead, the storylines rely on psychological tension and require the viewer to put together the puzzle pieces themselves. The villain, Hawke's Arthur Harrow, is quiet and understated, making him all the more creepy. Older teens who can handle suspense and violence and are into other Marvel characters will enjoy this series. Moon Knight doesn't require any Marvel fandom to be enjoyed, so teens generally into "prestige dramas" will probably enjoy the superb acting performances and mystery-like plot. Marvel nerds are sure to be talking about this one, but it seems likely that a broader audience will get sucked into the Moon Knight story world too.
Families can talk about what makes Moon Knight on the scary side. Do you react more strongly to the psychological suspense in Moon Knight, the action and gore in many other superhero movies, or the overtly scary content in horror movies? Do you like feeling scared?
How is Moon Knight similar to and different from other Marvel TV shows and movies? How do you feel about this different, less blockbuster-y approach?

Tara (Sanskrit: तारा, tārā; Tib.
སྒྲོལ་མ, Dölma), Ārya Tārā, or Shayama Tara, also known as Jetsun Dölma (Tibetan language: rje btsun sgrol ma) in Tibetan Buddhism, is an important figure in Buddhism.
She appears as a female bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism, and as a female Buddha in Vajrayana Buddhism..
Three days later on 17 May, the 6-year-old Panchen Lama was kidnapped by the Chinese government, after the State Council of the People's Republic of China failed in its efforts to install a substitute.
Definitely not all Monks. … And of those, not all of them are monks. Of course, it also depends on what you mean by 'predict the future'. Obviously, predictions can be made, based on a current life trajectory, just as they can be made in physics or psychology in the West.
Six Buddhas of the past are represented, together with the current Buddha, Gautama Buddha, with his Bodhi Tree (at the extreme right).
Buddhism Beliefs Followers of Buddhism don't acknowledge a supreme god or deity. … The religion's founder, Buddha, is considered an extraordinary man, but not a god. The word Buddha means "enlightened." The path to enlightenment is attained by utilizing morality, meditation and wisdom.
He is lying on his right side, his head resting on a cushion or relying on his right elbow, supporting his head with his hand. After the Buddha's death, his followers decide to build a statue of him lying down.
The Five Precepts are considered an important source of authority in Buddhism. … Buddhists monks choose not to marry and remain celibate while living in the monastic community. This is so that they can focus on achieving enlightenment .
MaitreyaMaitreya, in Buddhist tradition, the future Buddha, presently a bodhisattva residing in the Tushita heaven, who will descend to earth to preach anew the dharma ("law") when the teachings of Gautama Buddha have completely decayed.
Today reincarnation is the most widely accepted inheritance right among various schools in Tibet. There are currently 358 Living Buddhas in Tibet. Taklung Kagyu followers are harsh disciplinarians.
Since the goal of Buddhism is enlightenment which also means end of all births. There is no point in seeing future births since all have the nature of suffering. … This will lead to good effects, which means good things in the future, both in this life and the next.
Certainly he was many things—Jew, prophet, healer, moralist, revolutionary, by his own admission the Messiah, and for most Christians the Son of God and redeemer of their sins. And there is convincing evidence that he was also a Buddhist. … Historical evidence indicates that Jesus was well acquainted with Buddhism.
Kushinagar, IndiaGautama Buddha/Died
Seeing an image of Buddha's head being disrespected is a painful sight for many Buddhists. It is rooted in a history of violence, and is deeply upsetting. The act of decapitating a Buddha head is rooted in colonialism and war.
Buddhists seek to reach a state of nirvana, following the path of the Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, who went on a quest for Enlightenment around the sixth century BC. There is no belief in a personal god. Buddhists believe that nothing is fixed or permanent and that change is always possible.
Buddha (Siddhārtha Gautama) insisted he was human and that there is no almighty, benevolent God. He preached that desire was the root cause of suffering and that people should seek to eliminate desire. He was born in present-day Nepal roughly 500 years before Jesus Christ (Jesus of Nazareth).
Some high level Buddhists have drawn analogies between Jesus and Buddhism, e.g. in 2001 the Dalai Lama stated that "Jesus Christ also lived previous lives", and added that "So, you see, he reached a high state, either as a Bodhisattva, or an enlightened person, through Buddhist practice or something like that." Thich …
Buddhists who achieve nirvana with the help of a buddha guide become arhats, people who are enlightened but not omniscient. While nirvana is possible for any person, in most Buddhist sects only monks attempt to achieve it.
28 Buddhas28 Buddhas. In Theravada Buddhism, 'Buddha' refers to one who has become enlightened through their own efforts and insight. A Buddha is someone who has realized the enlightenment that ends the cycle of birth and death and which brings liberation from suffering.
