Circus Artist Hattie started out as a classically trained dancer, before later immersing herself in a variety of dance styles under the hip hop umbrella, focusing primarily on breaking. The intensely physical nature of breaking steered her attention towards personal training and she later qualified as a fitness instructor and personal trainer. It was at this point she embarked on her first aerial fitness course and immediately fell in love! 3 years later and she now teaches, performs and specialises in slings, hoop and Spanish web. Hattie is committed to sharing her love of all things aerial, acrobatic and upside down.
Throughout it all, she has had the unconditional love and support of her girlfriend, and now fiancé. After 8 years they are PROUD to be putting a ring on it. Naz this ones for you

They've been working together for over a year as a doubles trapeze act and the show is a journey of a blossoming relationship; lifting each other up and supporting one another along the way.
The song and the routine reflect the growth of trust, emotional strength and love in its most natural form.
Zaki Musa
Zaki Musa is an aerial performer, coach & choreographer, working across a wide range of aerial disciplines, including the flying pole.
His work tends to explore his own identity as a performer. With this piece, he is looking to navigate his own ideals of masculinity and how that evolves as he grows older.
He is debuting this act in some killer heels to harness its power, confidence and both its femininity and masculinity. Ultimately, it is a declaration of being unapologetically himself.

Regional Reviews: Minneapolis/St. Paul
Silent Sky
Theatre Pro Rata
Review by Arthur Dorman | Season Schedule
Also see Arty's reviews of Spamtown, USA and The Convert
Victoria Pyan
Photo by Charles Gorrill
For several years, Lauren Gunderson's Silent Sky has been among the most often produced plays in the country. And why not, considering that Gunderson has been identified by the Theater Communication Group as the most-produced playwright (excepting Shakespeare) of the 2019-2020 season, with eleven of her plays being produced around the county. It is second the time Gunderson has held the top spot, and she was the second most-produced playwright in 2018-2019. Though not the best known living playwright, her works resonate with audiences for their depiction of strong, intelligent women who take control of their own lives. Such is the story of Henrietta Leavitt, an astronomer who was born on the fourth of July 1868 and died in 1921. Leavitt's contributions to science were enormous, but her name, until recently (and that, in large part thanks to Gunderson's play) was little known outside of her field.
Three years ago, I reviewed Lyric Arts Main Street Stage's perfectly fine production of Silent Sky. I don't always make it back to plays I've recently reviewed unless there is something of interest about the new production that draws me in, and Theatre Pro Rata certainly provides that. Their current staging is being presented in an unlikely venue, though for this particular play, the most natural of all: the Whitney and Elizabeth MacMillan Planetarium, nestled within the beautiful new Bell Museum of Natural History on the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus. The setting greatly enhances this interesting but hardly compelling play and turns it into a theatrical event, worth making a place for on your theatergoing calendar.
Director Carin Bratlie Wethern and her creative team, working in partnership with Bell Museum production staff, have made wonderful use of the domed screen above the planetarium's auditorium, with projections (full dome photography credited to Dome 3D Immersive Media Solutions) in place of usual stage sets, creating immersive depictions of the Harvard campus where Leavitt did most of her work, the surrounding Cambridge streets where she lived, the rural home where she grew up as the daughter of a minister, and the deck of an ocean liner on which she travelled to Europe. These work splendidly, but even more exciting are projections of the night sky. We see the vast arrays of stars Leavitt studied, with gradations of color and light in the projections creating a beautiful context for her work, with images zooming out into infinity, seemingly beyond measure.
In fact, a method for measuring the distances between stars, using the complicated relationship between the luminosity and the period (length of time between brightest and faintest light, which might be days, weeks or months) of pulsating stars, was Leavitt's great breakthrough. This allowed for measuring stars at much greater distances from Earth than was previously possible, and provided the basis on which Edwin Hubble was able to prove that the universe is much bigger than the Milky Way, and that ours is just one of many galaxies.
But in the 1890s, when Leavitt started out, women were not permitted to work as scientists. She initially began as a "computer," the term used for women hired to measure and record the data from photographic plates taken by the actual scientists—that is, the men. She was hired by the project lead, Edward Pickering, and the computers—about eighty of them, all well-educated—were collectively known as "Pickering's Harem." In Silent Sky, we see Leavitt at work with two actual persons: deadly serious Anne Cannon; and wisecracking Williamina Fleming, blessed with a delightful Scottish brogue. Leavitt begged to go beyond the limitations of her role as a computer and longed to use the powerful refracting telescope housed in the Harvard observatory, but to little avail.
Pickering never appears, but we meet one of his subordinates, Peter Shaw, who supervises the computers. I found no documentation of Shaw being a real person, nor of the romantic feelings that develop between Leavitt and her supervisor, but that invention—if indeed it is one—furnishes a sense of the challenges she faced in trying to live a full life, beyond her steadfast commitment to her work. Similarly, her sister Margaret provides a contrast between the filial duties then expected to keep grown daughters close to home with the life of a scientist, whose duty is to her work. In addition, as Margaret is trained in music and aspires to be a composer, Gunderson suggests a distinction between the pursuit of art and science—and, in fact, how one can inform the other in powerful ways.
The production is in the hands of a capable cast, with Victoria Pyan holding center as Henrietta Leavitt. Pyan conveys Leavitt's wit, tenacity, and tendency to slip obsessively into her work at the expense of all else, but also her kindness and humility. Carl Swanson is persuasive as Peter Shaw, a man who has resigned himself to being diminished by the dictates of others, be it his own father or Edward Pickering, having no feel for the authoritative role he must assume by virtue of his gender.
Williamina Fleming's bawdiness and generous spirit are well played by Sarah Broude, who also provides a feel for the hardships Fleming faced early in life, which make her appreciate her current station. Danielle Krivinchuk captures Margaret Leavitt's affection for her sister, unscored by resentment at being the one left to tend the home front, and Amber Bjork delivers Annie Casson's stiff and strict manner, finding passion at last, not in her work but as a suffragette.
Samantha Kuhn Staneart has designed costumes that reflect the time period and the status of each character. Julia Curtis' lighting design provides adept augmentation to the fulldome projection lights and images, while Jacob M. Davis' sound design complements the production.
Gunderson deserves credit for casting light upon this unsung heroine of scientific inquiry. How unsung? Her death went completely unnoted, so that a colleague in the Swedish Academy wrote with a proposal to nominate her for a Nobel Prize for her significant contributions, only to learn that she had passed away three years before. Henrietta Leavitt certainly deserves to be acknowledged for her work and for succeeding in spite of the resistance she faced as a woman.
The play itself follows a fairly linear and generally predictable course, with nothing novel about its dramatic structure. This is not a bad thing, but it leaves it in the company of a great many other well-made but unexceptional plays. But in the hands of director Carin Bratlie Wethern, this production under the starry planetarium dome lifts it up from a workmanlike bio-play to an engrossing blend of history, human striving, and stage magic.
Silent Sky, presented by Theatre Pro Rata, runs through March 8, 2020, at the at the Whitney and Elizabeth MacMillan Planetarium, Bell Museum of Natural History, 2088 Larpenteur Avenue W., St. Paul MN.

Q: can't get the data Kendo pager I'm trying to use kendo pager in my project but I can't get the data see the attached  image
[result][1]

  [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/xmLYn.png

here is my javascript code :
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        transport: {
            read: {
                url: '/Option/Get',
            }
        },
        pageSize: 2,
        schema: {
            data: 'Data',
            model: { id: 'ID' }
        }
    });

the action method  :
public JsonResult Get([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request,int Id)
                {
                    var donnees=_DService.GetList(Id);
                    var results = donnees.ToDataSourceResult(request);
                    return Json(results);
                }

A: The problem is caused by the missing schema.total setting. Since you are using ToDataSourceResult, then it should be set to "Total".
In addition, the action method expects an Id parameter, which the Kendo UI DataSource currently does not provide. If you need this parameter to query the database, then use the data function of transport.read to send it.
Last but not least, call the fetch method of the Kendo UI DataSource instance, unless there is some other widget that will do that automatically (e.g. a ListView).
Here is an example, compare it with your implementation:

The 50 best films of 2015 in the US
Andrew Haigh, director of 45 Years: 'You don't need to share everything with your partner'
The director and scriptwriter of the Guardian's best film of 2015 on reaction to his film, class prejudice and why asking difficult questions is different from wanting to know the answers
@benfraserlee
Fri 18 Dec 2015 03.26 EST Last modified on Mon 3 Dec 2018 10.31 EST
'I still think there were a few people who thought this was going to end up as a gay story, and perhaps were a little bit disappointed that Katya [Tom Courtenay's character's ex-girlfriend] didn't end up being a man' … Andrew Haigh Photograph: Karen Robinson/The Observer
It's so incredible. Amazing. I'm slightly embarrassed, but thank you very much.
Were you ever worried about people embracing the film, given that it's difficult to watch, especially with a partner?
When you make films like this, you really never know if you're going to get an audience. Even when I got Charlotte and Tom, you still just don't know. Even when the film was finished, I just didn't know how it would resonate with people, and if they would care. It's been such an amazing surprise that it's gone down well.
Are you a bit of a masochist when it comes to confronting uncomfortable truths about relationships?
I want to ask those difficult questions, but I don't want to necessarily know the answers. I think that's what I always liked about the original story. Kate wants to ask the questions but doesn't want to know the answers. I think that feels true to a lot of us in relationships.
Did making the film bring up questions for you?
I'm probably like Kate, in that I just push it down to the core of my being without having to think about it too much. Inevitably, you can't help but bring aspects of yourself when you're writing, so it does swirl around in my head.
Have you been approached by people sharing their own marital issues with you?
I would love it if people started doing that! I haven't, but it has been interesting to see how it affects certain people. We've done so many Q&As and there are always people who come up at the end and say how it deeply affects them. It's a real joy of this process. But I'm hoping I haven't destroyed any relationships. I hope I haven't split people up [because of] the film!
As a gay film-maker whose work focused on gay stories prior to 45 Years, did you ever encounter any resistance from people who didn't believe that you could authentically tell a "straight" story?
It probably hasn't happened as much as I thought it would. Weekend managed to break out of a small niche, so I think that helped. I still think there were a few people who thought this was going to end up as a gay story, and perhaps were a little bit disappointed that Katya [Tom Courtenay's character's ex-girlfriend] didn't end up being a man.
You've gone from making films about gay characters to a story about a couple over the age of 60; both people often marginalised by the industry.
I've always felt like an outsider, whether in school or when I'm working or within the industry, or just in society at large. It just seems like the interesting perspective to me. I am fascinated by that person who is trying to live authentically, but they are on the outside of society, so how do they manage in the world around them?
Despite six nominations at the British independent film awards, 45 Years won nothing. Do you ever think there's a sort of inverse snobbery towards a film about middle-class characters?
I don't know what it is. I have to not think about those things like the Bifas or any other awards because you can end up being obsessed with them. We didn't win and that's fine; people chose to give it to Ex Machina, and I think it's a good film. I'm not too upset about it.
You have said that the portion of British society in 45 Years is often under-represented on screen. We usually see the extremes of class.
I think people do like extremes in cinema. There are very few films told about everyday middle-class couples, which is odd to me, as there are a lot of everyday middle-class couples. My films are very everyday, and people don't always want to go to the cinema to see ordinary lives. They want to see something a bit more extraordinary. I get that desire, but it's not the kind of film I want to make.
Could you ever see yourself working within another genre?
Weirdly, I do. I would love to make a sci-fi film, or maybe even a horror film, some kind of psychological horror film. You never know. One day I could do some massive sci-fi blockbuster!
A lot of people have been wrecked by the final scene of 45 Years – and the choice of the very sharp end shot.
I think that final shot was actually in my head from when I started writing the script. To me, the whole film is building up to that moment, from the very first shot to the very last and I always wanted a very big wide shot at the beginning, and I wanted to end with a shot of her face. Slowly, the film is trying to go deeper, into trying to understand Kate and explore how she is feeling. As I always knew that we were building to that moment, it was a slightly terrifying thing because you want to make sure it works. If it hadn't have worked, the film wouldn't have worked.
The film ends on a cliffhanger of sorts, but do you have any personal fan-fiction of what you think happened to the couple after the party?
I do, but it changes, depending on my mood and who I'm talking to. In reality, I don't really know, because in that moment, I don't think Kate really knows. All she knows is that she can't hide anymore. Something dramatic has changed in her. She is heartbroken about so many things and she can't escape that feeling. So whether she stays with her husband or leaves her husband, I know that nothing will ever be the same again, and that's the tragedy to me. Something has come up from the past and questioned everything about the relationship, and it's left her stranded. That's what makes me feel so sad.
Do you think that there's an assumption people in long-term relationships have less need to discuss problems?
I think once you've passed the 10-year barrier, everyone assumes it's perfect and will last for ever - as if you've suddenly stopped changing and wanting anything different from your life. I don't think films help, because most films about relationships are usually in the genre of the romantic comedy. It ends, and everyone gets married, and that's the end of the story. I do think it's important that you keep talking within relationships, but I also think it's important that you do keep things to yourself. You don't need to share everything with your partner. We all have deep feelings inside of us that we don't know how to articulate. We don't always need to share them.

The Flood Economics site was designed and constructed by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and commissioned by Resilience Action Partners and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Through detailed community case studies and state-level mitigation data analysis, this research examines the economic as well as the broader benefits for investing in flood mitigation.
To gain a better understanding of the economic imperatives for investment in flood mitigation, the EIU undertook a research program to identify the business case for flood mitigation investment. The research spanned January-June 2016. The result is the Flood Economics website. The core of the research program is the in-depth community case studies. These case studies are comprised of insights from existing flood loss avoidance studies and additional community impacts data and analysis. In addition to the community case studies, the EIU undertook a broad analysis of projects and benefits data in the US from 1996 to 2015. The analysis covers a database of flood mitigation projects provided by FEMA of 21,411 flood-specific projects, spanning all 50 states (plus Puerto Rico).
The EIU is the research and consultancy arm of The Economist Group, publisher of The Economist newspaper. Our work provides governments and institutions with timely, reliable and impartial analysis on their economic, policy and development strategies. The Public Policy consultancy practice provides evidence-based research for policymakers and stakeholders seeking measurable outcomes through literature reviews, data analysis, econometric modelling, in-country surveys and interviews.

Trinity on Tap: letting theology flow
in Agency News 21/08/2019	392 Views
Trinity College Queensland's latest educational resource Trinity on Tap has opened up an accessible world of theology for the whole church and has given people a new way of learning about the Bible without stepping foot in a lecture room. Journey reports.
Stuck in early morning gridlock and keen to make the most of your time as you wait for the car in front to inch forward ever-so-slightly? Maybe you've been hitting the treadmill and that playlist of electronic dance music is starting to grow stale? Or perhaps you're looking forward to a Sunday afternoon on the sofa but still want something to stimulate your thinking after the morning service?
Trinity on Tap was designed for these types of situations as increasing numbers of people consume audiobooks and podcasts. In 2018 Southern Cross Austereo studied podcast consumption in Australia and found that new podcast listeners (18–54 years old) grew by a whopping 52 per cent compared with the previous year and 53 per cent of people were listening to podcasts during car commutes and 44 per cent during public transport commutes.
In short, the podcast has cemented its status as a major media platform and for Trinity it was a perfect way to transform their unaccredited short courses into something people could access anywhere and anytime.
"In our increasingly tech-savvy, time-poor context, people want access to educational resources that don't impinge on their lifestyles," says Trinity College Queensland Principal Dr Paul Jones who hosts the Old Testament series. "Podcasts fit the mould perfectly, enabling people to tap into these resources when it
suits their lifestyle; the goal here is to drop these educational materials into people's already-full lives, not to demand that they stop what they're doing in order to think about the Bible."
Launched at the 34th Synod in Session, Trinity on Tap's first series on the Old Testament features 21 podcasts—most are around 20 minutes—and a supplementary PDF workbook which users can read on their device or print out.
"The series is structured around major movements in the Old Testament story that intersect with our own life stories," says Paul. "The topics range from our sinful natures and bad habits through to our call to look like God and bless the world with the gifts God has given us."
From reflecting on the chaotic sea monsters of Genesis to thinking about what Psalm 1 says about the power of habits, the Old Testament series is a perfect introduction to 39 ancient documents which challenge many Christians given their language and cultural differences to our own present-day context.
"While these ancient texts weren't written to us, they are for us," notes Paul. "The underlying message of the series is that the Old Testament is very relevant to life in 21st century Australia."
The series may have been recently released but feedback so far suggests that the resource is already gaining traction within Christian communities. Some groups have informed the college they are now using the resource in weekly Bible study groups while one listener said he listened to the entire series while driving to work.
Trinity College Queensland student Ben Reid says the series reinforced his faith and highlighted how the Old Testament integrates with the New Testament.
"Those of us who have grown up in the church think we already know everything there is to know about the Bible," says Ben. "So many resources just regurgitate the same old stuff so I love when a reputable resource like Trinity on Tap opens my eyes to fuller, richer understanding of a text; there were things I learnt in Sunday School but never realised that my understanding was somewhat basic and there was so much more to learn and understand from the texts.
"This is a beautiful resource that gently pushes the listener to re-examine their understanding of the Old Testament. We often run to the New Testament to learn about Jesus however the Old Testament has so much to teach Christians about our God."
Three more series on the New Testament, Theology and Preaching will be released over the next year, but for now listeners are encouraged to provide feedback to the college on the Old Testament series.
"Our hope is that listeners will spread the word if they find this resource useful, and gear up for the next podcast series", says Paul. "If listeners want to go deeper, we'd love them to get in touch about what that might look like and how Trinity can support their ongoing theological learning."

108 bead mala style necklace with 8mm natural amethyst stones and wood beads. This peices is accented with a carved onyx skull and hangs approximately 33 inches in length.
All of my pieces are hand crafted using both new materials and up-cycled items from local sources as well as sources around the world.
The name amethyst comes from the ancient Greek ἀ a- ("not") and μέθυστος méthystos ("intoxicated"), a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness. The ancient Greeks wore amethyst and made drinking vessels decorated with it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. Medieval European soldiers wore amethyst amulets as protection in battle in the belief that amethysts heal people and keep them cool-headed It is one of several forms of quartz.
Amethyst is a semiprecious stone and is the traditional birthstone for February.

I just wanted to let you know how our living room/dining room retrofit with radiant under floor heat went. The RetroHeat system has been wonderful. Of course, we are out of the cold season now, but it totally changed the ambiance in our living room/dining room. The floor was warm and the room was warmer and we are so happy we made the investment in doing this. And it is not even our main source of heat, but it has been so inexpensive to operate and makes the living space so comfortable.
I want to thank you so much for hanging in there with us thru the design and all the little things that are bound to happen with an installation like this. You were always so quick to get back to me/us, and so helpful in getting the glitches get worked out when they happened.
I cannot recommend you, Warmzone and the product too highly. We would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks so much!
Just a quick note to let you all know that the radiant heated concrete steps has performed perfectly. We were able to turn on the system just about 24 hours before Philadelphia received its second largest snowfall on record — 23 inches! And, despite the enormous amount of snowfall, the stairs remained entirely clear. The day after the storm, the stairs were bone dry. I snapped a picture for you, and it is attached. As you can see, it's kind of amazing that there could be that much snow and nothing on the sidewalk.
Thanks to everyone for your contribution to this successful installation. Happy New Year. . .
Hey Bryan and other Warmzone dudes.
I just wanted to send you this pic with my system finally installed and, of course, a decent snow. This is what I woke up to. Shoveling is for losers. Haha. I rule.
Thanks to everyone at Warmzone for making my life a bit easier.
The Driveway Has Been Ice/Snow Free All Winter!
This last summer, I installed the heating cables in my driveway. I have a North facing home and the sloped driveway does not see the sun in the winter. This combination creates a slippery condition all winter long. I contracted out the concrete removal and pour. With the help of some friends, neighbors and my wife, we were able to layout all three cables in one day. One friend, helping install the cable, jokingly said "Your daughter won't slip on ice now, but if she touches the ground she will get burned!" The first snow fall this winter was the test and the heated driveway has been ice/snow free all winter! The option to manually turn on the heat system has not been needed since the sensor works so well. My wife and I are very pleased with the results and feel much safer walking out side during the winter now!
Only have a few pictures that I will forward to you. Everything went well. I'm extremely pleased with everything from Warmzone and your help, and your helpers. Thank you again Bryan.
Warmzone did an awesome job with the installation of a heated driveway at our customers house. Nate is incredibly great to work with and we highly recommend you to all our clients. Our customer is extremely happy that he will not have to shovel his driveway this winter thanks to Warmzone.
This past weekend, we received over four inches of snow and temps -15 degrees C . . . That's like Green Bay cold!
Anyway, as you can see, the heated driveway is doing its job. Just a week ago, my electrician installed the correct type of wire for the CDP 2 so everything is functional now. A lot of folks in our neighborhood stop by on their walks and have conversations about my driveway, or ask questions if I am outside.
I know that some think this would be extremely expensive to operate, but last month, with Christmas lights on every night, I saw only a $150 increase in my electrical bill. Also, we only have 2 or 3 months of significant snow in Calgary so it won't break the bank, or my back (shoveling) and delivery people don't have to crawl up the slope in fear of slipping!
I would like to express my gratitude towards your organization. First of all my name is Rick M., and I live in Maine. I was doing a kitchen floor remodel and living room floor remodel. My wife and I decided to pull up carpet in living room and tile the kitchen. I decided that from talking to others who have done the same, that they experienced cold floors in winter months. I decided to research "radiant heat". I was at our local Home Depot store and they were all set in selling me their product. I decided to research out electric radiant floor heating on the internet.
Thanks to the Internet I found places that gave me a lot of info.. However, as I filled out your questionnaire at "Warmzone" I was pleasantly surprised at the response I got from Matt. He was extremely pleasant to deal with was extremely knowledgeable of your product, and if he did not know the answer he said so and got the answer I needed. After the purchase of your products (HeatShield floor heating insulation panel and ComfortTile heat cable for under tiles), I started my homeowner installation. I am very handy with my construction abilities. However, I never put in a radiant heat system. In short Matt was able to answer any questions I had come up with (and they were numerous) and keep me rolling along.
The hydronic heated floors are working well. It is nice to walk on a warm floor on a cold day. We installed the tubing ourselves. Laying the tubing is a fairly easy task for the do-it-yourself person. I would recommend covering the tubing with 1½-inches of gypcrete. It is nice being able to set the thermostats a few degrees lower than our old forced air system and have the house feel just as warm.
All the people at Warmzone were very helpful and knowledgeable and gave us all the time we needed answering our questions we had using the thermostats. We will definitely call Warmzone when we are ready to finish our basement.
Thanks for all your help. We hope all of you and your families have a happy holiday season.

Airtel Africa's delayed $4.4b Nigeria listing gets new date
A source at the arranger told Reuters that the delay was due to a manual allotment process of transferring the shares to new investors
Lagos. Airtel Africa aims to list on the Nigerian bourse today, one of the financial advisors arranging the issue said. This is after the exchange postponed the listing which had been scheduled for Friday.
The Nigerian Stock Exchange on Friday said the secondary listing of Airtel Africa shares planned for July 5 had been postponed to ensure the telecoms company meets its listing requirements.
A source at the arranger told Reuters the delay was due to a manual allotment process of transferring the shares to new investors.
India's Bharti Airtel last week offered shares in its African unit via a London IPO and it would dual-list in Nigeria, its biggest market in Africa.
Nigeria's bourse said it postponed the cross-border listing of 3.76 billion shares of Airtel Africa, but allowed Airtel to go ahead with an investor presentation. It said that it would inform the market on when the conditions had been met.
Airtel set its Nigerian listing price at NGN 363 (roughly Rs. 69) per share, the bourse said, via a book building process which valued the company at NGN 1.364 trillion ($4.44 billion or roughly Rs. 3,03,918 crores). In May, Africa's biggest telecoms firm MTN listed its Nigerian unit in Lagos in a $6.5 billion (roughly Rs. 4,44,925 crores) float that made it the second-largest stock on the bourse by market value.
Nigerian stocks have been crimped over low growth in Africa's biggest economy which has been further stymied with the president's failure to appoint a cabinet four months after winning a second term. Local stocks have fallen 6.8 per cent this year and shed 17.8 per cent last year.
The local bourse said Airtel shares registered in Britain may be moved from the London market to Nigeria subject to approval by the custodians in London and currency regulation in Nigeria. But Airtel shares registered in Nigeria cannot be moved to London, it said. (Gadgets 360)


Man, this was a full day I guess :). Tons of posts.
Okay, I forgot a great moment today. Reading one of Anita's posts reminded me. During that time that the boys were being quiet and playing in the other end of the house nicely, Anita was in here switching out some laundry. I had gotten up to get a drink and I went back to check on the boys to see what they were doing since I too had noticed them being quiet (read: not screaming or crying for mom or ...just not around). So, I go back to Conner's room and I walk in to see no sheets or blankets on his bed (Anita had been making the bed prior to this) and he and Zach are both standing up on the bed and Conner is jumping up and down chanting, "16, 17, 18, 17, 18, 16, 18, 17" - at least that's about what I picked up before I bust in (man I feel old) with, "CONNER! Stop that. Stop jumping on the bed. You're wearing your shoes. Stop jumping. You know you're not supposed to jump on the furniture, and you you're not supposed to have your shoes on in your bed."
I make him sit down and take his shoes off and then I tell him I don't want to see any more jumping on the bed. Well, as SOON as I step out the door and turn my back, I hear *creek creek* as the bed bounces. /sigh. I turn around, "Conner, stop. That's enough. Just because I'm not here doesn't mean you can jump on the bed. Don't jump on the bed at all, or you are going to be in trouble." Now, as soon, and I mean, as SOON as I finish saying this Zach (who is still standing on the bed) turns and looks at me and lets out this piercingly loud laughing wailing screech. Conner turns and looks at him and just busts out laughing as if in admiration. So, Zach now with his audience, turns at Conner and does it again. Conner turns to me and says, "Zach likes doing that." Of course. It's that simple.
I just turn and leave the room shaking my head, proud that my boys can at least play together and entertain one another.


The 35th Massachusetts Infantry recruited in July and August 1862. It was rushed to the seat of war, reaching Washington on August 24, and was assigned to Ferrero's Brigade, Sturgis's Division, of Reno's 9th Army Corps, on September 8. Just six days later it was thrown into battle at South Mountain, and three days after that it entered the maelstrom of Antietam, losing 214 officers and men.
Born in 1841 in Vienna, Maine, Roscoe Bradley enlisted at age 21 in August and was mustered into Company K as a corporal, some records indicating a rank of First Corporal. This typical Massachusetts issue white haversack bears his name with an alternate spelling "R. BRADLY" over his unit, "CO K 35 MA" stenciled on the flap in faded black. The shoulder sling is in place, secure, and shows some soiling. The front and back of the bag show dirt and a large stain from use. The two exterior bone buttons are in place. The interior liner, or "rice bag" is present also. These were removable to be cleaned and were easily switched. This one must have belonged to a member of the 5th Mass, Co. B, which is stenciled on it with a small "33" likely that soldier's individual number, but a stain on it matching that on the bag shows the two elements saw some use together. It also bears a very faint second marking that is likely the Massachusetts "inspected / accepted" ink stamp usually seen.
Bradley was one of 69 officers and men killed in the regiment at Antietam, a very high casualty rate. His mother, then living in Maine, applied for a pension in 1881. Her application states that her son was, "shot through the heart." She may have found some comfort in his instantaneous death, but it may also have been a story invented by his officers to ease the pain of a grieving mother. This is a very telling relic.
Bradley is buried in Vienna Village Cemetery in Vienna, Kennebec County, Maine.
Accompanied by military records and mother's pension application, as well as a brief amount of internet research material.

My fellow members, I want to re-kindle a moment of your service in the military. Think back to when you felt proud to have been a Marine, or a sailor or a soldier. Remember a proud moment as a member of the Air Force or Coast Guard. For you family members who didn't get to serve but joined our auxiliary to support your spouse or another member of your family, remember that moment that was shared with you by your service member. Think back to a moment when you were proud to be an American; when wearing your uniform made you stand just a little taller and perhaps walk with a little bounce in your step.
At that moment, was it an individual accomplishment that made you proud or was it a group accomplishment? I have long felt that some of the best friends that have come into my life are men and women that I served with and I think many if not most of you may feel the same. Promotions required a lot of individual effort but there was also a contribution from your fellow service members that made the promotion possible. Perhaps it was a mentor that guided you or your platoon that worked hard together to contribute to group success. Earning the title of United States Marine is a high point or putting on your anchors to become part of the chief's mess for you Sailors and Coast Guardsmen.
Maybe it was successful completion of a grueling mission where all objectives were achieved and all of your people came back in one piece. There are lots of individual accomplishments that make up a career in the military or even a successful enlistment, but more often than not satisfaction is attached to group accomplishments. Being part of a team, whether it is a squad, platoon, company or even a battalion, regiment or a division give us reason to be proud.
In a certain perspective, the Non Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA) is no different. Just like in the military, no individual can succeed by themselves. Success requires teamwork, objectives and effort. My friends, I just learned this past week that a military organization that has been in existence for 70 years will be closing their doors in a few short months. Many other organizations, even big ones with millions of members are struggling to move forward. Individually we can't do much, but collectively, much can be accomplished.
NCOA currently has approximately 30 chapters located in the US, South Korea and Italy. We have perhaps another 6 that have gone inactive for not submitting paperwork and another half dozen requests to form new chapters. Approximately 80% of our membership is not affiliated with a chapter so many of you reading this article fall into that group. With technology and the Internet, a group of members could form a chapter even if they don't live in the same state. A lot can be accomplished in Unity and cooperation and I can assure you that NCOA is not going away. As Gunny Highway said in Heartbreak Ridge, "we adapt and overcome!" That is what NCOA is going to do.
Can you help? Will you help? Contact me or headquarters and information can and will be provided to assist you. Keep checking our website at www.ncoausa.org and new information will be shared as we move forward.
We just ended the longest government shut down in US history and no matter what side of the political spectrum you claim, nothing compares to the deployment into a combat zone where people are dying and creature comforts like the ability to come home at night and hug your kids or your wife just aren't available. Just remember the saying, the grass is always greener somewhere else until you get there and find out that the only thing greener was the hope that you had.
I recently heard from a few members out there that at some point in the past they were disappointed in NCOA. I would imagine that many of us have experienced disappointment in our lives, whether it is with family, a job, our government or even an organization like NCOA. Life is full of choices and some chose to be bitter and those people struggle to find happiness and success. Failure is part of life, but what separates success from bitterness is whether you chose to let that struggle to rule over you and keep you down, or you chose to get back up and prove those who try to hold you down were wrong. Ask a woman if it hurts to give birth and they will tell you it hurts like hell, but once they hold that precious child in their arms, the pain is no longer important. I tell you this information not to discourage you or point fingers, but to illustrate that life is hard and running an organization like NCOA is hard. NCOA is struggling like almost every membership based organization in existence, but with the struggle, there will be opportunities to pick oneself up off of the ground and move forward.
The leadership of NCOA today is committed to bring life, opportunity and hope back for all of our members including those who are angry with us. We are different people at a different time with different tools and opportunities with which to work. NCOA is your NCOA and I and the current leadership have accepted the mantle of responsibility to make you proud again. There are plenty of things in this world that can disappoint you, but in the end, I pray that NCOA will not be one of them.
There are a lot of wonderful things going on around NCOA, but we have done a poor job of sharing them with the rest of our membership and the world around us. We are working on a plan to hopefully bring a publication back as a means of sharing with our members and the world the wonderful things that go on across this country because of what NCOA members are doing. If you like to write, whether you are affiliated with a chapter or not, let us know. If you can take pictures of activities that support our military and our communities, let us know. If you have skills as an editor and can take information and turn it into a story, let us know. If you have connections with businesses that are friendly to our troops, both at home and abroad and may be willing to sponsor projects in exchange for publicity, let us know. If you have ideas that warm your heart and may be something that others can duplicate, let us know. Together we will pick ourselves back up off of the ground and become the leaders that we are capable of being.

This is how it should work together, but how?
Html + Ajax/JavaScript CALL Perl + "JSON-perl-string" RETURN-TO Ajax CONVERT-JSON -> Html

A: You just need to have your application return JSON (you can just use the JSON module on CPAN for this) instead of HTML. This means you need a Content-type header of application/json instead of text/html and then you need to use that JSON in your Javascript (using a Javascript library like jQuery or Prototype is your best bet here).

A: jquery provides very easy ajax and JSON support with their API, It handles all of the XMLHttpRequest objects for you. jQuery

A: For JSON try the CPAN JSON module.
For using the XMLHttpRequest I recommend these wonderful tutorials from IBM.
Mastering Ajax, Part 1: Introduction to Ajax
The two articles you'll probably be most interested in are these two:
Mastering Ajax, Part 10: Using JSON for data transfer
Mastering Ajax, Part 11: JSON on the server side
You can get the entire 11 Part series using this search link.

A: If your main goal is to avoid refreshing to update the page you could try remote scripting by using the XMLHttpRequest object in XML.
More on this here.

A: Give the new CPAN module Yote a try. It binds javascript objects to perl via a JSON rpc.
Here is an example of it on the client :
Server
package Hello;
use base 'Yote::AppRoot';

sub hello {
  return "Hello World";

1;

Client
$.yote.init();
var hello_app = $.yote.fetch_app('Hello');

alert( hello_app.hello() );
   // outputs "Hello World"

Ex-Cannibal Corpse Guitarist Sentenced for 2018 Burglary + Assault
Chad Childers Published: May 2, 2021

Former Cannibal Corpse guitarist Pat O'Brien has been sentenced to time served and five years of probation plus a fine of $23,793.45 for the bizarre series of incidents that played out on Dec. 10, 2018.
The musician had been arrested and charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling, assault and aggravated assault on a police officer that took place while firefighters were also attempting to extinguish a blaze that was engulfing his rented home. Making the extinguishing of the fire more difficult was the fact that ammunition continued to explode inside the home as the firefighters attempted to contain the blaze. Over 80 weapons, thousands of rounds of ammunition and three skulls were later found inside the home.
While firefighters were tending to the home, police received reports of a burglary at a nearby home where the musician had reportedly entered the residence without an invite. Refusing to leave the estate, the guitarist allegedly pushed a woman down and fled into the backyard. Police eventually found O'Brien behind a fence near his house and when he was discovered he charged the officers with a knife. The owner of the home that O'Brien broke into told an ABC news affiliate that he thought the musician was hallucinating as he spoke of the rapture, claimed that someone was after him and attempted to hide in a closet.
He was later booked into the Hillsboro County Jail and appeared in court wearing an anti-suicide vest. He was eventually released on Dec. 14 on $50,000 bond.
After the initial arrest, Cannibal Corpse issued a statement in which they expressed that they wanted "nothing but the best for our brother and partner, Pat." They added that O'Brien was getting the help he needed, appreciated the love and support from fans and was looking forward to a healthy return at some point. Cannibal Corpse vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher later revealed that he cried upon first seeing O'Brien in court wearing the anti-suicide vest.
In February of 2021, Cannibal Corpse revealed that Hate Eternal's Erik Rutan, who filled in as their live guitarist in 2019 during O'Brien's absence, was officially now a full-time member while also continuing his participation with Hate Eternal.
In addition to O'Brien's financial restitution and sentencing, he has also been ordered to continue drug and alcohol evaluations, will have random drug screenings, must serve 150 hours of community service and has been ordered to stay away from alcohol and controlled substances.

Q: Formatting a string in a similar style to padding In my program I am outputting a text file. In this text file I often have comments on the same lines as my data (usually just a numerical value). Sometimes when the data variable is of a different length it makes it so that the comments don't line up. For organizational purposes it would be beneficial if I could format the string so that the comments always start on the same column.
This is an example of my problem (.txt file output):
//Because of the extra number in the second value, the comments don't line up
5           ; First Data Value
12           ; Second Data Value

Right now I am using padding (and it works), but I don't like that I have to count the length of all of my string values to figure out how much to pad it. I cannot use string.Length because I am outputting my data like so:
StreamWriter.WriteLine(dataVal1 + "; First Data Value".PadLeft(29, ' '));
StreamWriter.WriteLine(dataVal2 + "; Second Data Value".PadLeft(30, ' '));

What method can I use to make sure that no matter the length of my string, the comments always start at the same column?

A: Why not specify a right-padding on the first field instead, which will always be consistent:
file.WriteLine(String.Format("{0,-30}; {1}", dataVal1, "First Data Value"));
file.WriteLine(String.Format("{0,-30}; {1}", dataVal2, "Second Data Value"));

A: See the MSDN FORMATING STRING:
The format item
A format item has this syntax:
    { index[,alignment][ :formatString] }
Alignment
Optional. A signed integer that indicates the total length of the field into which the argument is inserted and whether it is right-aligned (a positive integer) or left-aligned (a negative integer). If you omit alignment, the string representation of the corresponding argument is inserted in a field with no leading or trailing spaces.
Example:
foreach (var city in cities) {
     output = String.Format("{0,-12}{1,8:yyyy}{2,12:N0}{3,8:yyyy}{4,12:N0}{5,14:P1}",
                            city.Item1, city.Item2, city.Item3, city.Item4, city.Item5,
                            (city.Item5 - city.Item3)/ (double)city.Item3);
     Console.WriteLine(output);}

Output:
// The example displays the following output:
//    City            Year  Population    Year  Population    Change (%)
//
//    Los Angeles     1940   1,504,277    1950   1,970,358        31.0 %
//    New York        1940   7,454,995    1950   7,891,957         5.9 %
//    Chicago         1940   3,396,808    1950   3,620,962         6.6 %
//    Detroit         1940   1,623,452    1950   1,849,568        13.9 %

Hope this helps...


DOH is a pretty bad idea if you have to use a centralized Server like Cloudfare.
I would rather let my ISP sniff my DNS request as to use a centralized server from an US company.
Matthias: nobody forces you to use "a centralized server", you can pick whichever server you like including one your run yourself.
