Q: How to set padding in Textarea element (background-image bug) Goal: In the current demo, theres a padding between the last word in the textarea field and the bottom border (the bottom border is realized through a "background" property).
Demo:
https://jsfiddle.net/7vaf1th8/336/
Thats how it looks like (And its correct, thats exactly what I want!):

In Webinspector:

Problem: As soon as I focus into the textarea, hit Enter and type some characters in, the characters are far too low near the bottom border (because the padding-bottom gets ignored), it looks like this (Which is wrong):

In Webinspector:

I've tried to set a calc(100%+7px) background position, to keep the space / padding between the bottom border and the characters, but no attempt was  successful.
How can I remain the padding / space between the text and the bottom border while typing? (without disregarding/loosing/deleting the "background" property (border on the bottom), because I need it?)

A: in the .form-group .form-control you can change the padding to 0px and it will remove that extra: https://jsfiddle.net/7vaf1th8/349/
.form-group .form-control {
  margin-bottom: 7px;
  border: 0;
  background-image: linear-gradient(#66bb6a, #66bb6a), linear-gradient(rgba(165, 181, 203, .5), rgba(165, 181, 203, .5));
  background-size: 0 2px, 100% 1px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center bottom, center calc(100%);
  background-color: transparent;
  transition: background 0s ease-out;
  float: none;
  box-shadow: none;
  border-radius: 0;
  resize: none;
  margin-top: 7px;
  padding-top: 0 !important;
  height: auto;
  padding: 0px 0;
  width: 100%;
  color: #555;
  display: block;
}

A: I've fixed it on my own now.
Ive created a parent class for the parent element, changed the background propertys to this parent element and deleted it on the child(textarea) element.
Now the padding works as expected.
Note: It seems to be a fact, after reading similar questions, that padding is not working in webkit on textareas "as expected". It doesnt seem to be a bug, just the way webkit handles padding when the scrollbar starts to appear on the textarea.

\section{Introduction}
\label{sect:intro}
\indent V1355 Ori (BD -00 1147, HD 291095, K0-2 IV, 3.82 days) is a single-line spectroscopic RS CVn binary (Strassmeier et al. 1999; Strassmeier 2000; Strassmeier et al. 2000; Savanov \& Strassmeier 2008; Eker et al. 2008; etc). It exhibits photospheric and chromospheric magnetic activities, which has been discovered at optical (Cutispoto et al. 1995; Strassmeier 2000; Savanov \& Strassmeier 2008; etc), ultraviolet (Pounds et al. 1993), and X-ray wavelengths (Voges et al. 1999).\\
\indent Strassmeier et al. (2000) discovered that V1355 Ori exhibited very strong emission over the local continuum in $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ H\&K lines, and showed weak emission in one single H$_{\alpha}$ spectra. Strassmeier (2000) detected a strong flare in the H$_{\alpha}$ line during doppler imaging observation in 1998. He also found that the H$_{\alpha}$ profile varies against the orbital phase during the three observing epochs in 1997, 1998, and 1999 (Strassmeier 2000). The profile of the H$_{\alpha}$ line appear to be quite complex, ranging from an extremely strong emission due to flaring emission with a central sharp absorption, and to partial emission with a red absorption component, and to very narrow absorption (Strassmeier et al. 2000; strassmeier 2000). No analysis has been carried out regarding the H$_{\delta}$, H$_{\gamma}$, H$_{\beta}$, $\mbox{Na~{\sc i}}$\, D$_{1}$, D$_{2}$, and $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ IRT lines to date.\\

\indent It is of great importance to determine the behaviour of chromospheric active indicators, and chromospheric active properties and evolution (Hall 2008; Montes 2004; Zhang et al. 2015; Zhang et al. 2016a,b; etc). In this paper, we present new high-resolution observations of V1355 Ori. We analysed the properties of chromospheric activity for the $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ H\&K, H$_{\delta}$, H$_{\gamma}$, H$_{\beta}$, $\mbox{Na~{\sc i}}$\ D$_{1}$ D$_{2}$, H$_{\alpha}$ and $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ IRT lines.\\

\section{Observations}
\indent We obtained new high-resolution spectra for V1355 Ori in twelve nights between Jan. 22 and Feb. 15, 2015 using the Coude Echelle Spectrograph and a 2048$\times$2048 pixels Tektronix CCD detector of the 1.8 meter telescope (Rao et al. 2008; Wei et al. 2000) at the Lijiang station of Yunnan Observatories. The slit width of the spectrograph on the 1.8-m telescope was 61.7-$\mu$ m. The resolution is approximately 50,000 in terms of the FWHM of arc lines. The spectral resolution is approximately 50, 000 and the spectral wavelength region is approximately 5760-11960 ${\AA}$ (Zhang et al. 2016a). The limiting magnitude of the equipment is about 11.5 mag at present. In order to obtain synthesized spectra depicting the stellar photospheric contribution of V1355 Ori, we specifically chose and observed four single inactive stars (HR 617 (K1 III), Beta Gem (K0 III), HR 4182 (G9 IV) and HR 495 (K2 IV)) with spectral types and luminosity classes similar to those of V1355 Ori. HR 617 and Beta Gem were also used as the reference stars for V1355 Ori to discuss the chromospheric activity (Strassmeier 2000; etc).\\
\indent We also observed V1355 Ori using the new high-resolution spectrograph and a 4096$\times$4096 pixels Tektronix CCD detector on the 2.4-m telescope (Fan et al. 2015) at the Lijiang station of Yunnan Observatories in three nights (Jan. 29 and Feb. 26 and 27, 2016). The slit width used in this part of the observation was 62.5 $\mu$ m. The spectral wavelength region is approximately 3890-10600 ${\AA}$. The spectral resolution in terms of the FWHM of the arc comparison lines is 0.110 ${\AA}$ in the $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ H\&K lines, 0.145 ${\AA}$ in the H$_{\delta}$, 0.117 ${\AA}$ in the H$_{\gamma}$, 0.152 ${\AA}$ in the H$_{\beta}$, 0.146 in several metal lines (6400-6510${\AA}$), 0.147 ${\AA}$ in the $\mbox{He~{\sc i}}$ D$_{3}$, $\mbox{Na~{\sc i}}$\, D$_{1}$, D$_{2}$ lines, 0.150 ${\AA}$ in the H$_{\alpha}$ line, 0.212 ${\AA}$ in the $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ IRT 8498 ${\AA}$ line, 0.245 ${\AA}$ in the $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ IRT 8542 ${\AA}$ line, and 0.227 ${\AA}$ in the $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ IRT 8662 ${\AA}$ line. The corresponding spectral resolution is about 43, 000 according to the FWHM of the arc comparison lines. The limiting magnitude of the equipment is about 12 mag at present. We also observed HR 617 (K1 III) as a reference star for V1355 Ori to discuss the chromospheric activity.\\
\indent We followed the standard process to reduce the spectra using the Image Reduction and Analysis Facility (IRAF) package, which contains tools to perform CCD image trimming, bias subtraction, flat-field correction, removal of cosmic rays, background subtraction, and multi-spectrum extraction. The wavelength was calibrated using the Th-Ar lamp, and the observed spectra were normalized by a low-order polynomial function. The spectra of V1355 Ori from Lijiang 1.8-m telescope are illustrated in Fig. 1 and the spectra from 2.4-m telescope are plotted in Fig.2. We list our observation log of V1355 Ori in Table 1, which includes observational date, the Heliocentric Julian Date (HJD), exposure times, and signal to noises ratios of the chromospheric active lines.\\
\section{Spectroscopic analysis}
\label{sect:data}
For the observed spectra (Figs. 1 and 2), all the H$_{\alpha}$ spectral lines exhibit variable behaviour (filled-in absorption, partial emission with a center absorption component, or emission above continuum). The $\mbox{Na~{\sc i}}$\ lines demonstrate deep absorptions and the $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ IRT lines exhibit filled-in absorptions with minor self-reversal core emissions. The $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ H\&K lines show obvious emissions above continuum. The H$_{\delta}$, H$_{\gamma}$, and H$_{\beta}$ lines exhibit absorptions.\\
\indent We analysed the spectra of V1355 Ori using a synthetical spectral subtraction technique (Barden 1985; Montes et al. 1995). The synthesized spectra of V1355 Ori were obtained from rotationally broadened and radial-velocity shifted spectra of a single inactive star with similar spectra type and luminosity class as our object. The rotational velocity value (vsini= 39.6 km~$s^{-1}$) of V1355 Ori was determined using some single metallic spectra lines in the wavelength ranges of 6387-6487 {\AA} (Fig. 2). We chose Beta Gem for the 1.8m telescope and HR 617 for the 2.4m telesccope for this purpose. Our result is similar to the previous results of 40 $\pm$ 0.5 km~$s^{-1}$ derived by Strassmeier (2000) and 46 km~$s^{-1}$ (Osten \& Saar 1998; Strassmeier et al. 1999). All the subtracted, observed, and synthesized spectra are shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ IRT lines have a poorer quality than the $\mbox{Na~{\sc i}}$\ and H$_{\alpha}$ lines because of shorter exposure time and poorer weather condition at the time of observation. For $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ H\&K lines, we did not used spectral subtraction technique to analyse them because their emission over continuum and low S/N ratio. The subtraction spectra of the $\mbox{Na~{\sc i}}$\, D$_{1}$, D$_{2}$ lines show weak emissions, while all subtracted spectra of the H$_{\alpha}$ line exhibit obvious emission over the continuum. The excess spectra for the $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ IRT lines display emissions. There are no excess emission in the H$_{\delta}$, and H$_{\gamma}$ lines, but there is excess emission in the H$_{\beta}$ line. The EWs were calculated by integrating them above the emission lines using the SPLOT package of IRAF. The methods for calculating the EWs and their uncertainties have been published in our previous papers (Zhang \& Gu 2008; Zhang et al. 2014; Zhang et al. 2015; etc). For V1355 Ori, the uncertainties of the EWs are underestimated because the S/Ns for these spectra are low and we do not consider the effect of the error of continuum.\\
\indent The values of the HJD, orbital phase, the excess EWs of chromospheric activity indicators, and the ratios of EW$_{\rm 8542}$/EW$_{8498}$ and E$_{\rm H_{\alpha}}$/E$_{H_{\beta}}$ are listed in Table 2. The orbital phases were calculated using the function: HJD = 2450540.365 + 3.87192*E (Strassmeier 2000). We also plotted the EWs of V1355 Ori against the HJD or phase in Fig. 4, where different symbols represent different chromospheric active indicators.\\

\section{Discussions and conclusions}
\indent The spectra we observed show obvious emissions above continuum in the $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ H\&K lines, and variable behaviour for the H$_{\alpha}$ line. Our results further confirm those behaviour observed in the $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ H\&K lines (Strassmeier et al. 2000) and the H$_{\alpha}$ line (Strassmeier 2000; Strassmeier et al. 2000). These spectra show deep absorptions in the $\mbox{Na~{\sc i}}$\ D$_{1}$ D$_{2}$ lines, absorptions for the H$_{\delta}$, H$_{\gamma}$, H$_{\beta}$, and minor self-reversal emissions in the $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ IRT absorption lines. These features further demonstrate the chromospheric activity of V1355 Ori. The subtracted spectra exhibit no excess emission in the H$_{\delta}$, and H$_{\gamma}$ lines, trace amount of emissions in the $\mbox{Na~{\sc i}}$ lines, excess emission in the H$_{\beta}$ line, clear emission in the H$_{\alpha}$ line, and weak excess emissions in the $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ IRT lines. The maximum EW of our H$_{\alpha}$ line is smaller than that of the large H$_{\alpha}$ flare at HJD 2450909.6 (Strassmeier 2000). \\

\indent The value of the ratio ($EW_{8542}/EW_{8498}$) is also an indicator of the chromospheric activity. For V1355 Ori, the value of $EW_{8542}$/$EW_{8498}$ is in the range of 0.9-1.7. Smaller values indicate optically thick emissions from possible stellar plage event. These values are also consistent with other behaviour of chromospheric activity indicators. Similar values were also discovered in many chromospheric active stars (Cao \& Gu 2005; Ar\'{e}valo \& L\'{a}zaro 1999; Gu et al. 2002; Montes et al. 2001; Zhang et al. 2014, 2015; Zhang et al. 2016a; etc). \\
\indent We calculated the ratio of $E_{H_{\alpha}}$/$E_{H_{\beta}}$ for V1355 Ori in our 2016 run (Table 2). The ratio of excess emission $E_{H_{\alpha}}$/$E_{H_{\beta}}$ was corrected with the function $\frac{E_{H_{\alpha}}}{E_{H_{\beta}}}=\frac{EW_{H_{\alpha}}}{EW_{H_{\beta}}}*0.2444*2.512^{(B-R)}$ from Hall \& Ramsey (1992). The color index of V1355 Ori (B-R)=1.78 were assumed by its spectral type. Buzasi (1989) obtained that low ratios (1-2) can be achieved both in plages and prominences viewed against the disk, but high values (3-15) can only be achieved in prominence-like structures viewed off the stellar limb. We obtained a mean value of 6.628 $\pm$ 0.139 for $E_{H_{\alpha}}$/$E_{H_{\beta}}$ for V1355 Ori. The ratio $E_{H_{\alpha}}$/$E_{H_{\beta}}$ ($\gtrapprox$ 3) implies that the emission of the Balmer lines originates from prominence-like material (Buzasi 1989; Hall \& Ramsey 1992).\\
\indent It is unpractical for us to carry out a detailed study on the chromospheric rotational modulation of V1355 Ori because of data acquisition limitations in the night (we normally only have a partial night) and the total time span required. We had twenty two nights of the 1.8-m telescope for studying V1355 Ori, which corresponds to approximately six orbital periods. Our results do not show any obvious phase modulations in all the chromospheric active indicators lines (Fig. 4). Chromospheric intensity as well as the presence of circumstellar material may dilute or even suppress the rotationally modulated plage signature (Strassmeier 2000). As illustrated in Fig. 4, there is a weak time-variation of excess emission EWs in the $\mbox{Na~{\sc i}}$\, D$_{1}$ D$_{2}$ $\mbox{Ca~{\sc ii}}$ IRT, and H$_{\alpha}$ lines (which is the strongest). The increase of EWs is marked by red arrows in Fig.4. All these indicators are consistent with each other. These phenomena can be explained by plage events, which is consistent with the observed behaviour of these chromospheric active indicators. In the future, further high-resolution spectra will be required to study the chromospheric activity cycle of V1355 Ori, such as those of photospheric cycle reported by Savanov \& Strassmeier 2008.\\

'Three Lenses' depicts a snapshot of internment
By Dylan Shapiro
Photo courtesy of Abel Cine
The Japanese-American internment of the 1940s is unquestionably one of the darkest moments in American history. For those who are unaware, the Japanese-American internment was a motion instigated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to round up all the Japanese-Americans and place them in concentration camps. This sad event is a blight on the United States' past and a moment in its history that runs entirely counter to its values. According to many people, shockingly, such an event could feasibly happen again.
That notion is at the core of production company Video Resources' first documentary feature film, "Three Lenses," which examines the roles of three photographers — including Ansel Adams — who all took pictures at the Manzanar internment camp. "Three Lenses" is one of three recipients of the prestigious Abel Cine grant (a contest in which experts, including Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ellen Kuras, judge eighty-six documentaries and reward the top three with a $33,000 grant). For "Three Lenses" to receive this grant is a high honor indeed.
According to Ecar Oden, executive producer of "Three Lenses," production has just commenced and they are currently interviewing people. They plan to finish the interviews in the summer. Oden provided some valuable insights on the production and its historical context, talking about the film, Ansel Adams and Japanese internment all at once.
The film's premise was found almost by accident three years ago when Oden decided to do a documentary on Ansel Adams. He had met with Adams recently, which he described as "like meeting Steven Spielberg [for photography]." Because there was only one documentary on Adams, and because Oden had insight on Adams's demeanor as well as his photos, he decided to do a documentary on him. However, when unearthing information on Adams, Oden made an important discovery: Ansel Adams had taken pictures at Manzanar.
Oden immediately realized that he had stumbled upon a far greater story. Adams, apparently, had worked in cooperation with the director of Manzanar. Soon after this discovery, he found two other photographers who had taken pictures there. And, thus, "Three Lenses" was born. According to Oden, the film is "a story about the Japanese-American internment told through the eyes of three different photographers."
The three photographers come from radically different backgrounds: one is Ansel Adams; another is Dorothea Lange, a woman; the third is Toyo Miyatake, an interned Japanese-American. Because each photographer had his or her own unique perspective on the horrors they were snapshotting, "Three Lenses" is not merely a story about their photographs but is also about their character, motives, and values. And by investigating these photos, Oden uncovered an even more important truth: something akin to the Japanese-American internment could easily happen again.
While investigating, Oden got a chance to talk to a Japanese-American from Hawaii who said, in relation to the thought that history could repeat itself, "Sept. 12 must be told." He was referring to the post-9/11 meeting called by President George W. Bush to discuss the country's future. At that meeting, Detroit Congressman David Bonior immediately expressed concerns about his Arab-American constituents. He said that they feared internment. Though at first glance those fears seem unfounded, upon closer inspection they are revealed to be legitimate.
According to Oden, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, in Hawaii, told a student that internment is a very feasible possibility even now, long after the Japanese-American internment came to its end. Among other things, he quoted a Latin proverb that can be translated roughly as "in times of war, the law falls silent." Thus, the fear that something like this could happen again is real. "Three Lenses," according to Oden, intends not only to depict the horrors of Japanese-American internment as seen by the three photographers but also to educate viewers about what caused the internment so that people can prevent those events from ever reoccuring.
"Three Lenses," Oden says, is aiming for an early 2015 release at various film festivals, including Sundance. If it ever gets a wide release, it certainly is worth a look; it is a fascinating, nuanced and important story.

Dr. Brian Klagges received his MD from the Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, part of the State University of New York system. He serves as the director of interventional pain management at the Interventional Spine Center at Elliot Hospital and as an anesthesiologist and pain interventionist with Amoskeag Anesthesia. In these positions, Dr. Brian Klagges performs a variety of procedures, including genicular nerve ablation.
Also known as genicular neurotomy, genicular nerve ablation is an innovative treatment for knee pain caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease. Minimally invasive, genicular nerve ablation is often used to treat patients who are not eligible for knee replacement surgery or for people who continue to have knee pain after surgery.
The procedure, performed outside the knee capsule, sends radiofrequency waves to the genicular nerves, or nerves around the knee. The radiofrequency waves prevent the nerves from sending pain messages from the knee joint to the brain.
No medication is injected into the knee, nor are any steroids used in the procedure, which takes 10 to 15 minutes. Patients may go home after being observed for another 15 minutes.
Most insurance plans cover genicular nerve ablation, and the procedure is inexpensive compared to traditional joint replacement surgeries. Since genicular nerve ablation is minimally invasive, patients have a smaller risk of infection and do not need blood thinners. Virtually no recovery period is necessary following the procedure, and patients can return to normal activities within a few days.

Most poured concrete walls crack; this can be caused by slight settlement, shrinkage, soil and clay conditions, ground swelling, and leaky tie rods along with weather conditions causing a leaky basement. The main objective is to repair and correct the cracks that do leak in the most permanent and cost effective method.
Polyurethane is elastomeric fast setting foam which is most commonly used to control water leaks caused by a hairline crack. This is not a structural repair. Polyurethane can be injected into both a wet or dry surface with the full capability of adhering and will accommodate slight concrete movement due to the elastomeric nature of the product.
Epoxy varies from an ultra-thin to paste-like liquid to accommodate cracks of various widths and has a compressive strength that exceeds most concrete. The epoxy method is generally used for structural repairs and has a very slow setting and curing time; generally taking a few hours. It is not recommended for epoxy to be used on active leaking cracks do to the inability to bond and adhere to a wet surface.
Weeping tile is a round tube-like plastic hose either perforated or non-perforated with or without a filter cloth and comes in various diameter sizes. The weeping tile is located below the footing around the full perimeter of the foundation wall and covered by ¾ clear stone. The reason for this is to help eliminate hydrostatic pressure from building up under the basement floor and to carry the access water away from the foundation wall.
Window wells must have a proper drain backfilled with free drain material in place to avoid water backup in the window well area. We provide a vast selection of window wells complete with decorative options that will protect your home and give it a distinct style.

Last month Whiskey Myers' Concrete Country episode premiered on CMT, that was just the beginning of the Texas Red Dirt takeover on CMT. Last week was the premiere of one of Red Dirt's finest as Stoney LaRue took center stage on the popular country music television station.
Stoney LaRue chose Billy Bob's Texas as his Concrete Country backdrop because of the key role it's played in his career. Early on, he recorded a live album at the iconic venue in Fort Worth, Texas. Now, he routinely sells it out. And from those early days until now, he's relied on fans to keep him going.
"You build something, a foundation strong enough, then you can build anything on it," he says. "Being an independent artist, it does take the artist being with the fans because that's who got you there in the first place. Those are the people who came out to some of your first shows that got you to where you are now."

Why Pete Buttigieg Will Never Become President
February 18, 2020 Topic: Politics Blog Brand: The Buzz Tags: Pete ButtigiegDonald Trump2020 ElectionDemocratsPrimary
Pete appears so sure of himself that he cannot heed another's criticism. And that's just for starters.
by Mitchell Blatt Follow MitchBlatt on Twitter L
The legend of Rhodes Scholar Pete's amazing intelligence grew again this week when he wowed the audience by naming the president of Mexico at a forum put on by Telemundo in Nevada, a feat two of his fellow contenders were unable to pull off. Pete capped off the performance by answering a few questions in Spanish.
Buttigieg has been praised for his intellectual capacity by people across the spectrum, from MSNBC to news and features reporters his media team courted to himself to Fox News's Greg Gutfeld, who called him "the smartest one" two weeks ago. Heavy.com's Erin Laviola wrote last June—echoing many others—that, if elected, Genius Pete "would be the first president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to be fluent in another language besides English."
Excuse me for ruining the wunderkid facade cosmopolitan liberal elders would like to imagine, but, if I may respond in the manner of Consultant Pete, the proposition that Pete Buttigieg is a polyglot fluent in half a dozen languages is bs. (Hell, he doesn't even sound like a normal human when speaking in English.)
At the Telemundo event, Pete actually stumbled through many of his attempts at Spanish. "Gracias para hablar, uh, this evening," was his way of thanking the hosts for having him this evening. When he spoke to Norwegian reporters, he stopped after about two sentences and said, "Sorry, I just ran out of Norwegian." When asked on Morning Joe how many languages he can speak, he said, "It depends on what you mean by speak. I've got pretty rusty in my Arabic and my Dari. I picked up Dari on my way to Afghanistan."
The one language he actually appears to speak very well, French, he did not even mention. Not exotic enough for his carefully-crafted image?
If Pete's Spanish language abilities are enough to make him considered "fluent in another language besides English," then he would certainly not the first one since FDR. George W. Bush delivered his Cinco de Mayo radio address with at least as much eloquence as Gringo Pete. Jimmy Carter studied Spanish while in the service, just like how Intel Officer Pete studied Arabic and Dari. Barack Obama gave a basic greeting to his Indonesian interviewer in 2009 before he 'ran out' of the language.
At least three of his fellow candidates who dropped out before him were also good enough at speaking Spanish to elicit side eye on the debate stage, but Beto and fellow Small Town Rhodes Scholar Mayor Sen. Booker won more mockery than fawning.
Where did the myth of Pete as a linguist par excellence arise from?
To be sure, Pete didn't personally claim to be fluent in seven languages. In his memoir, he wrote, he "knew how to order a sandwich in seven languages." But he did aggressively sell the image of himself as an amazing specimen, including—yes—personally vouching for himself as an intellectual. As early as 2014, less than two years into his mayorship and four years removed from his crushing defeat in the race for state treasurer, the Washington Post called him "the most interesting mayor you never heard of." (Some wish he would remain that.)
When he introduced himself on "Real Time" with Bill Maher, he said, "People are looking for something completely different. … You could argue it doesn't get much more different than a laid back, intellectual, young, gay mayor from the Midwest."
On MSNBC, he also played up his own intellectual bonafides: "I think curiosity is a really important quality for leadership. … It frightens me that we have such an incurious president right now. I don't think he's inclined to ask questions. Obviously he doesn't read a lot. To me, how could you be in that office and not want to use the fact that, you could have lunch with the NASA director, and then talk to the intelligence experts."
Now, it is certainly true that Pete is head and shoulders above the incurious president. The same could be said for each of his fellow candidates and for the president's own primary challengers.
But it's not very charming of him to go around talking about how he's so much smarter than you and I and all the rest of the voters, including the good people of his own college town community in Indiana, whom he dismisses as "socially conservative" people whom he feared wouldn't vote for him if he came out as gay. His beloved line about "being a gay man in Mike Pence's Indiana" (albeit one living in Pete Buttigieg's South Bend) implicitly relies on portraying a wide swath of Midwestern and 'fly-over states,' the very places he claims he can win, as backward hellscapes. (As one who completed undergrad in Indiana, let me put it in Indiana terms: it would be a little more impressive if he won 80 percent of the vote in Martinsville.)
There is a sense that he got out over his skis. Yes, he is gifted and rising fast, but his achievements as they are—low-level McKinsey analyst, small-town mayor—are nowhere near qualifying for the highest office in the world, thus he has to puff up his qualifications and personal attributes.
Pete's problem is ultimately not simply that his intellectual abilities appear to be overrated. It's that he's so smug about it. Even if he could have at one point read high literary novels in Norwegian—even if he still could read the newspaper—it wouldn't matter. He's damned either way. (And, as he is somebody who talks about how much he values knowledge, it strikes me as sad that he learned a whole language just to forget it.)
His attitude comes off as condescending to voters in the 2016 swing states the moderates in the race are trying to target. Those who fancy themselves 'deplorables' are not going to vote for a man who sounds like he looks down on people who don't read avant-garde literature about the nature of existence in its original language.
Indeed, IR Expert Pete mocked Sen. Klobuchar for whiffing on the name of the president of Mexico. (It's Andrés Manuel López Obrador, you moron.) Donald Trump was mocked for not having a clue about the Quds Force or what the nuclear triad is and much else. George W. Bush flunked a pop quiz on the leaders of Chechnya, India, and Pakistan in 1999. Al Gore's camp ridiculed him: "I guess we know that 'C' at Yale was a gentleman's 'C,'" his campaign spokesman said.
Trump's problem isn't just that he is ignorant, he's also arrogant, making snap judgments on his own, or with the advice of Fox News, while firing professionals and downsizing the State Department; the follies of JFK's Best and Brightest, whom Pete would have wanted to have been a part of, leading us into Vietnam show that arrogance can be a problem for those with elite educational backgrounds, too.
But we also know that both Bush and Trump won the presidency, and Bill Clinton, too, defeated UN Ambassador and CIA Director George H.W. Bush, because he was feeling the nation's pain while Bush was looking at his watch.
When the question is asked, "Who would you rather have a beer with?" most voters are not thinking about having it at a professional networking event at 6 pm on a Thursday night in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC. Voters do not want to drink with a geek who will lecture them on how he thinks he can solve drug wars and incarceration with ideas he recycled from a Ted talk.
I suggested in a recent column that Pete reminds me of Rubio the way he tries to pull off a low-rent version of Obama. I stand by that, but there's more to it. Obama was also rated as more likable than the Republican opponents he faced in 2008 and 2012. But Pete isn't.
Pete appears so sure of himself that he cannot heed another's criticism. (Watch his face on the debate stage next time someone goes after him.) In that, he's not so "completely different" from our current president, except in the manner in which he responds. While Trump shouts and denies everything confidently, Pete will go on a long-winded tangent, putting a dozen words between the start of the sentence and the expletive (where Biden would say, "That's malarky"). He's like Hillary in his inability to lie or deny effectively.
His tendency for obfuscation is most pronounced when the topic is the frayed state of race relations in his own town. As in his attempt to respond to the question at the debate about marijuana arrests in South Bend, or his being asked by the LA Times ed board about firing Police Chief Darryl Boykins, he pivots to systematic racism, then to the racial wealth gap, then to some other issue of racial justice before proposing that his Douglas Plan is the solution to everything. The effect on his questioners, often African-American journalists, as well as his own constituents at heated townhalls, is usually underwhelming, and frequently they try to ask the question again to get a straight answer from him.

Reminder: The FBI's 'Police Homicide' Count Is Wrong | FiveThirtyEight
National / News / Police Abuse / Police State January 7, 2015 Alan Wood
According to the FBI's newest Uniform Crime Report (UCR), released this week, 461 people were killed by police in "justifiable homicides" in 2013. This number has gotten some media attention, both because it's considered by some to be the "best authoritative data available" and because it represents an 8 percent jump in these homicides from 2012.
This increase sounds notable, but the underlying data continues to be nearly useless. As we outlined in the wake of Michael Brown's death in August, the FBI's UCR program undercounts what it classifies as justifiable police homicides (while skirting the issue of non-justifiable homicides), and should not be considered a useful estimate. Any year-to-year increases in FBI counts could represent actual bumps in homicide rates, or better reporting of homicides, or both, or neither.
While independent counts of police killings — such as those at Fatal Encounters, the Gun Violence Archive and Deadspin — develop, the most reliable database continues to be the Killed By Police Facebook page. Using media reports, the page has counted 1,709 police killings since May 1, 2013, and more than 950 so far in 2014. We audited the page in August and confirmed that the links represented legitimate stories, although the count did include a small number of incidents where officers were acting outside the line of duty (for example, an off-duty officer killing his friend during a fight). These incidents represented less than 10 percent of the Killed By Police total.
Nevertheless, there's plenty of good news to be found in the more general (and more reliable) crime statistics produced by the FBI's report. The agency recorded 1.16 million violent crimes in the U.S. in 2013, a 4.4 percent decline from 2012 and 37.4 percent decline from 1994. These figures look even better adjusted for population; per capita violent crime was down 5.1 percent from 2012 and 48.4 percent from 1994.

How can I make Sony Ericsson MPS-60 Speakers work with a standard headphone jack?
I have a set of OEM Sony Ericsson MPS-60 Portable Speakers and I no longer use the phone, but im looking for some speakers to use while im out and about and these speakers were always good with my phone. I tried looking for an adapter but i dont think any such device exists.
This amplifier needs a power source. And providing power supply through 3.5mm jack is not possible... so the alternative is to have 2 sets of wiring... one for the stereo input which could be the jack we want and an USB / battery (power source input).
Below is the image of the pinouts & corresponding connections.

Q: Negation of Hex in PHP, funny behavior Got some weird behavior I was wondering if someone could clear up for me.
Check it out
$hex = 0x80008000;

print_r(decbin(intval($hex)) . '
');
print_r(decbin($hex));

Outputs
10000000000000001000000000000000
10000000000000001000000000000000

As expected.
But
$hex = 0x80008000;

print_r(decbin(~intval($hex)) . '
');
print_r(decbin(~$hex));

Outputs
1111111111111110111111111111111
1111111111111111111111111111111

Why is the middle bit not switching when $hex is negated?

A: Gonna give a shot to my own question here.
Yes this is a 32-bit / 64-bit difference.
In 32-bit systems, a float type has to take up two memory spaces to get the required 64 bits.  Php uses double-precision (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point#IEEE_754:_floating_point_in_modern_computers)
The $hex evaluates to a float type.  Intval and decbin functions convert this into an int type (1st example above)
In the 2nd example we are using the not bitwise operator BEFORE we use decbin.  This flips the bits in the two-memory space double-precision float first, and then is converted to int second.  Giving us something different than what we expected.
Indeed, if we put the negate inside of the intval() like so:
$hex = 0x80008000;

print_r(decbin(intval(~$hex)) . '
');
print_r(decbin(~$hex));

We get
1111111111111111111111111111111
1111111111111111111111111111111

As output.
I'm not good enough to prove this with math yet (which can be figured out with the help of this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_precision).  But maybe when I have time later -_-
I think it's very important to learn how numbers are represented in computers so we can understand anomalies like this and not call them bugs.

A: Possibly a case falling under this:
From the php bitwise operators page http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.bitwise.php

The NOT or complement operator ( ~ ) and negative binary numbers can
  be confusing.
~2 = -3  because you use the formula  ~x = -x - 1  The bitwise
  complement of a decimal number is the negation of the number minus 1.
NOTE: just using 4 bits here for the examples below but in reality PHP
  uses 32 bits.
Converting a negative decimal number (ie: -3) into binary takes 3
  steps: 1) convert the positive version of the decimal number into
  binary (ie: 3 = 0011) 2) flips the bits (ie: 0011 becomes 1100) 3) add
  1 (ie: 1100  + 0001 = 1101)
You might be wondering how does 1101 = -3. Well PHP uses the method
  "2's complement" to render negative binary numbers. If the left most
  bit is a 1 then the binary number is negative and you flip the bits
  and add 1. If it is 0 then it is positive and you don't have to do
  anything. So 0010 would be a positive 2. If it is 1101, it is negative
  and you flip the bits to get 0010. Add 1 and you get 0011 which equals
  -3.


While countries like United States are suing file sharing web users, and Australia has sued a p2p software developer, France is doing just the opposite. The country's lower house of parliament has voted to legalize peer-to-peer file sharing of films and music on the Internet. The move has led to massive criticism from the country's film, audiovisual and music industry organizations.
If this motion is passed in the upper house, France would set an unusual example of being the first country worldwide to have legalized peer-to-peer file sharing. The timing of this move is pretty interesting considering digital media organizations are claiming that the internet has become a big source of trading pirated movies and songs.
France tends to be a forward thinking country, so I'm thrilled that they are still thinking forward and not backward.

The world of Mad Max will grow for the first time in 30 years next week, as Mad Max: Fury Road - the fourth chapter in director George Miller's long-running series – arrives in theaters. What you may not know, however, is that the filmmaker actually originally had even bigger plans for the continued future of the franchise, which involved a solo anime effort following the story of Furiosa, the character played by Charlize Theron in Fury Road.
As part of this digging down deep, we did write backstories – so we were going to do an anime based on the Furiosa character. That exists. And we've written two other stories for Max, about how he got to where he is, how he got to be that wild animal trapped in that mask. Which is a garden hoe!
We were going to do it, but with the second delay we were rained out, and it fell apart. And by the time that we had to scramble to get the movie going again we just had no time to get involved. It was an casualty of the delay.
So it looks like we may never get to actually see the Furiosa anime, but the future certainly looks bright for the future of the Mad Max series. Trailers and various footage from Fury Road have painted the blockbuster as a ridiculously crazy, action-packed spectacle, and while she may not be animated, Charlize Theron looks absolutely badass as the one-armed Furiosa. Stay tuned for more from my interview with George Miller, and go see Mad Max: Fury Road when it hits theaters on May 15th.

HSO_2019_20_season_preview.pdf
Opera premieres: The Christian Spirit Season aims to showcase 400 years of opera from Monteverdi to contemporary works. In its new season, the Opera will see such important operas return to stage as Parsifal or Don Carlo, as well as Die Entführung aus dem Serail in the OperAdventure series. Fans of opera will again have the opportunity to get to know pieces like Mathis der Maler and Dead Man Walking, neither of which have so far been performed in Hungary. They can also discover operas that have not been performed for decades, and many popular ones can be heard in reorchestrated versions.
THE MASTER AND MARGARITA / L'INCORONAZIONE DI POPPEA / FANTASIO / FORTUNIO /MESSIAH / MATHIS DER MALER / DEAD MAN WALKING / TANTE SIMONA / LE LUTHIER DE CRÉMONE / THE JEWELER'S SHOP / PARSIFAL / DIE ENTFÜHRUNG AUS DEM SERAIL / DON CARLO / CROSS CANTATAS / STEPHEN, THE KING
Ballet premieres: With the 2019/2020 premieres, the Hungarian National Ballet will mostly conquer the new Bánffy Stage to expand their repertoire with exciting new choreographies, including several Hungarian and world premieres. For fans of more classical pieces, the company will also stage a spectacular show: after a hiatus of some decades, Laurencia will return in a new production to the Erkel Theatre.
EPISODE 31 / CHROMA / LAURENCIA / FIREBIRDS / MISA CRIOLLA / NAVIDAD NUESTRA / JOYFUL!
For detailed information on the premiere productions CLICK HERE.
During the new season, while the Opera House is still under restoration, it is the Erkel Theatre that offers nearly 300 programmes. It is here that the most spectacular operas and ballets as well as grand operettas, oratorios and concert performances can be seen. The new venue of the Opera, the Eiffel Art Studios await a smaller audience more committed to less mainstream genres. It is they the Bánffy Stage has been built for: a huge orchestra pit and stage along with a more intimate auditorium seating 400 to be the venue for baroque opera adaptations, 20th century music, and contemporary works including contemporary dance pieces – sometimes at matinées, mostly in the evening, and occasionally at night.

You can read a dozen books, watch hours of travel documentaries, but unless you get out there yourself and speak to those who've actually taught English overseas, you'll never truly know what it's like to TEFL. Here are 10 things you never knew about TEFL!
TEFL is a popular option amongst career breakers – people over the age of 25 who are taking some time out. In fact, older gappers often find that they are well-suited to TEFL, having already got experience of the working world.
If you're over 30, your options for working abroad suddenly become quite restricted – this is because working holiday visa programmes are aimed at young folk. However, no such limits apply to TEFL – luckily for you!
Many TEFL courses these days are online and/or at weekends, so you don't have to stop work to do your course!
There isn't just one type of TEFL course, they vary in intensity, how much is online and in the classroom, and how long they are – take a look at the different types and pick the one that best suits your needs and budget.
Although many English teachers work in schools abroad, this isn't the only option to you. There's a need for people like you to teach business English to adults abroad, particularly in the Far East.
While knowing a bit of the language will definitely be helpful, it is not a requirement for you to get work. You will be placed with a local teacher who will serve as an interpreter, so you'll be able to communicate with your students, even if they're novice English learners.
You're there to teach conversational English, and as such, you'll be assisting local staff, not taking their jobs.
In many parts of the world – especially the developing countries – having a command of English can open doors in the workplace, particularly where tourism is big, or where international business is important.
You'll learn an incredible amount from your TEFL course and during your placements – about teaching, about people and about the country you're in. You'll find you'll learn a lot from the students themselves.
Doing the course itself shows you are still capable of learning, and your TEFL experience will show how you've developed communication, management and leadership skills. Most importantly though, in a competitive job market, a TEFL experience shows you have had the initiative and drive to do something different and constructive during your time out.

The budget that state lawmakers passed, and that Governor Steve Bullock signed, was based on forecasts that projected Montana's economy would generate a lot more tax revenue than it actually did. That budget is now falling apart.
But the Bullock administration continues to tout the strength of Montana's economy.
"When you look at a number of different economic indices relating to specific sections of the economy we're doing very well," Dan Villa, the governor's budget director, said.
Villa says there is some pain out there in the state economy, with agriculture prices down from their record highs a few years ago, as well as oil and coal market prices down in recent years.
But, he says other areas of the economy are picking up the slack, creating a state economy that is overall very strong.
"When you look at growth in health care, educational services, business information technology, really strong growth, high wages, and that is part of the reason why Montana is one of the fastest growing wage states in the country right now," Villa said.
Personal income data, including wages, is often used as one of the go-to indicators of economic health. It shows how much money people are earning at their jobs, investments, and other sources of income. And those dollars translate to tax revenue that fund government programs.
More than half of Montana's general fund revenue comes from collections of individual income tax.
So, why then the big budget shortfall?
"The real mystery is why isn't the economy doing better," Patrick Barkey, director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of Montana said. "It's not that, gee the economy is strong and why aren't revenues doing better. The economy is not doing that well, and the question is, what is going on?"
Barkey thinks that some of the state's revenue problems are rooted in a slowing state economy, an issue that isn't among the current talking points of political leaders.
"When you look at the broad measures of economic activity, like we do virtually every working day in our shop, there is weakness, there is deceleration," Barkey said. "It is not a recession, it's not a decline, some areas of the state are doing better than others, there is more complexity to the story than just the bottom line, but the bottom line measure of income growth is one of deceleration."
Barb Rosewicz is an expert on state fiscal health for the Pew Charitable Trust. Using personal income data as her measuring stick, she says if you look at Montana with a long term lens, since the start of the Great Recession, there's good news.
"And when I look at it that way, Montana has not done badly, they're tied for the 11th fastest growth since the end of 2007. In the short term, according to the most recent data we have, Montana's economic growth has really been middle of the pack," Rosewicz.
According to Pew Research in every year from 2007 to 2012, Montana's state personal income growth did better than the national average. But starting in 2013, and every full year since, Montana's personal income has averaged behind the national pace.
"So I would say its economic growth has been moderate in recent times," Rosewicz said. "And that might give you some context. When you think about, if its economic growth has been moderate or middle of the pack, compared to other states, then don't to expect that tax revenue growth is going to be a lot higher than that either. It is either going to follow the same trend or any changes are going to come off of that moderate trend of growth."
While the national, global, and state economies are the underlying structure that impact state revenue, Rosewicz says other complications could also be digging into Montana's revenue streams.
"There seems to be some disconnect between state tax revenue structures and economic activity," Rosewicz said.
Rosewicz say the economy is changing and so is consumer behavior as new types of businesses pop up, like UBER, Airbnb and more digital commerce like Amazon.
She says states might be missing revenue from these types of businesses because the state's tax structure isn't built to capture it. This is a point that both lawmakers and the governor's office here in Montana agree on.
Montana's error in forecasting revenue growth is further complicated by uncertainty over federal tax reform. The Rockefeller Institute of Government indicates that some taxpayers may have shifted their taxable income to future years in hopes of the so called 'Trump Bump,' and the promise of lower taxes.
Patrick Barkey with Bureau of Business and Economic Research says there are many other factors that contribute to the unexpected poor performance of state revenues,some of which are still not fully understood. But he says that doesn't take away from a underlying questions surrounding the health of the state economy.
Barkey says the question often kicked around the governor's office and state lawmakers of "why are revenues insufficient if the economy is strong," is a question with a false premise.
Montana may need to change the way it applies taxes to collect revenue amid a changing state economy, according to state elected officials searching for solutions during the ongoing budget crisis.
An independent analysis of Montana's budget deficit was released today. A legislative committee is set to review proposed cuts to the state's budget next week.
State lawmakers started taking up the challenge of Montana's $282 million budget shortfall in the first of two days of hearings in Helena today.

So now I feel all warm and glow-y inside. And very pleased to have some further evidence that the Girlfriend Fiction books are "not fluff. Not at all."
Why do you feel compelled to make the lids of your bottles/jars etc ever-so-slightly rounded? If the tops of the lids were flat, I could turn the bottle/jar etc upside down and let the last of the product within trickle down to the top, so that I could squeeze it out and use it. A rounded lid-top compels me to throw away the bottle/jar etc with a goodly portion of its contents unsqueeze-out-able. This is extremely annoying.
Surely you haven't deliberately designed your bottle/jar etc thus, forcing the consumer to purchase a replacement bottle/jar etc prematurely. Surely not?
Earlier this week I was proud and pleased to learn that Winter of Grace has been nominated for the 2009 Children's Peace Literature Award.
This is a prize awarded every two years by Psychologists For Peace to a book for children "that encourages the non-violent resolution of conflict or promotes peace at the global, local or interpersonal level."
What made the news especially delightful was that Penni's book, Josie and the Michael Street Kids, was also nominated, along with half a dozen other worthy titles. It's lovely to be short-listed together, particularly for such different books, and for such a wonderful award.
Josie, a firm bedtime favourite at our house, is the story of a girl who moves to a new neighborhood and gradually makes friends with the other kids in the street (we love this book especially dearly because we know that Penni based "Michael St" on the street where we live!).
Winter of Grace is a young adult novel, about a teenage girl whose search for spiritual answers turns her world upside down, and sets her in conflict with her mother and her best friend. It's not a novel that I expected many people to read (can I say that?) but the journey of writing it was one of the most challenging and fulfilling I've experienced, and I'm so quietly happy that it's earned this recognition.
Congratulations to all the nominees, and (how can I not say this?) peace be with you all.
Caught part of an interview with the wonderful Don Watson on The 7.30 Report last night.
The admirable Mr Watson has been conducting a campaign for some time now against what he calls "weasel words" -- the kind of meaningless corporate-speak that clogs our airwaves, our newspapers, our workplaces and even our classrooms and football fields. He pointed out that kids in Grade 2 now have to write their first mission statements; eight year olds are being asked to evaluate their key performance indicators. I winced; this is all too true.
However, I must disagree with the fabulous Mr W on one point. He claims that all this jargon (value-adding, birthday-ing, lines of sight, synergies*) is burgeoning and multiplying in the name of efficiency. No. It's arse-covering. No-one wants to be held responsible for anything. If no-one can understand what you say you're trying to do, it's that much harder for someone to realise that you haven't done it. So we all float around in this cloud of vagueness, in the foggy foggy forest of weasel wordage, where no one says what they mean and no-one ever has to take the blame for anything.
*Michael, who works for...er, the government... can supply me with plenty of examples.
I was vegetarian for about ten years. Not that I had particularly strong ethical views about the rights and wrongs of eating animals, it was just what all my (more strong-minded) friends were doing and it was easier to go along. The cooks in our share houses were always vegetarian; vegetarianism, even now, seems to be a default position when I think of meals. It astonishes me when my father, for example, hurrumphs about a meal being incomplete without meat. Pasta, curry, risotto, frittata, soup - what could be easier than putting together a meatless dinner?
Michael was a vegetarian, too, and stayed one long after I'd lapsed back into my evil bacon-and-sausage eating ways. It was having children that brought him undone. The temptation to finish off that abandoned sausage roll or shred of chicken on Alice's plate was just too strong.
Ironically, now we're both full blown carnivores again, it's the girls who turn up their noses at meat. Alice's crossbite makes it almost impossible for her to chew on anything, and she objects to food that looks like it came from an animal (I entirely sympathise with this position, having some residual squeamishness myself). Evie likes warm chicken only, and Nana's roast lamb, and otherwise isn't interested, though they will both eat mince. My lack of cooking practice means I'm nervous about cooking big hunks of meat like roasts, and anyway, we get bored before we can eat it all.
So we are not a big meat-eating household. I have to make an effort to include meat in our meals, rather than leave it out. Shepherd's pie, meatballs and lasagne get a big workout on our menus. These days I feel bad about meat-eating on environmental grounds rather than animal cruelty. Save the planet, have one vegetarian meal a week! I heard on the radio the other day. ONE vegetarian meal? A week? If it's that easy, why isn't everyone doing it?
And yet there are people like my dad, who can't really come to grips with any form of protein that didn't once have a face. Friends in Scotland once planned to open a vegetarian cafe in Edinburgh (this was in the early 1990s); there was no such thing in existence then, and they met so much hostility and disbelief that they eventually gave up the project. (This from the city that invented the deep-fried pizza slice.) At college, our ex-army cook was so baffled by student requests for at least one vegetarian option at each meal that he resorted to eggs every night, and, on one memorable evening, served up a curry made from the fruit scones left over from that day's afternoon tea.
There's something to be said for the belief that if you're going to eat it, you should be prepared to kill it. I know I'm a coward; I don't want to have to think about what the poor animal goes through before it reaches my plate, let alone actually wield the knife myself. But animals do eat each other, and I don't have a problem with that, as such. I don't want to have to grind my own flour, make my own cheese or pick my own oranges either; is it more wrong to out-source meat production than any other food? Do I have an ethical stance? In the end, it's easier to eat the little bits of incidental bacon on top of the roll, make the soup with chicken stock, throw some chorizo into the risotto, than make the effort to be purely meat-free.
There are philosophical tangles here that I will have to face at some point (when Alice starts to quiz me, which will happen any day now). In the mean time, I've got some fruit scones to curry. Bon appetit.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson's zodiac signs reveal a lot about their whirlwind romance
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson dated for 9 months after meeting during her debut on Saturday Night Live in October 2021.
The pair ended things in August 2022 and their differing personalities might be an explanation for the demise of their relationship.

The KUWTK star and the comedian kissed during one of the comedy sketches on SNL. After several months the duo finally made their relationship status official after posting a series of cutesy photos on Instagram Friday, March 11 2022.
Kim, 41, is a Libra Metal Monkey, while her boyfriend Pete, 28, is a Scorpio Water Rooster. But what does that mean and are they compatible?
Kim Kardashian - Libra Metal Monkey
Oh yes. Super Charmer for sure. The Libra Metal Monkey is extremely self-assured. There are many people out there who are sensitive, insecure, unsure, questioning, worrisome, vulnerable and just plain weak. This juggernaut of self-assurance sure as hell doesn't fall into any of the aforementioned categories.
They are happy, cocky, confident, strong and driven as hell. In fact, despite their smooth charm, they're pretty damned determined. They'll consider using granny as a bargaining tool if the situation required it. This is a sociable cat and may well conduct a large portion of their business in a socially-orientated setting.
The Libra Metal Monkey will be able to turn their hand to anything, sweet talk anyone and anything into doing things we wouldn't ordinarily consider. They don't countenance failure and failure rarely darkens their door, because their self-belief will always brush it aside with mild disdain and they'll just come back for more.
They're tough and hard but their charm more or less always wins the day. You can't tell them what to do either. They'll give the impression they're easy-going, and they are....as long as they call the shots. Impressive, wily and very, very persuasive.
Pete Davidson - Scorpio Water Rooster
The Scorpio Water Rooster is a deep, mysterious, intense, passionate and without question one of the most creative characters in combined astrology. The word 'secrecy' is a kind of magical, mystical, mysterious word that conjures up all sorts of images in our minds.
Well, these souls take secrecy to that mystical level. You really won't have even the slightest clue as to what is going on in these characters' minds. They simply won't tell you. If ever there was a human being who was virtually impossible to fathom, it's the Scorpio Water Rooster. The mystery that surrounds them is ongoing. You wouldn't be faulted for thinking that there was something seriously wrong with these characters.
They love isolation, they adore their own space, they don't need anyone else and they're perfectly content with their own company. This is all true, so relax, there's nothing wrong with them at all, it's just the way of the Water Rooster, and the secrecy of the Scorpio adds to that mystique. If they do have a creative bent, it could easily be on a genius level and they should be encouraged to pursue every last creative ambition.
These are beautiful, creatively brilliant, kind, thoughtful, understanding, empathetic, passionate, intense, loving, gorgeous humans. Finally, they need a lot of love, affection and reassurance. It's a thankless task as they tend not to acknowledge affection but they secretly love it.

Are their horoscope signs compatible?
The Monkey and Rooster are really different characters, however they are attracted to each other's contrasting traits. The Rooster admires the witty and sociable personality of the Monkey and the Monkey will fall for the loyal, dedicated and driven Rooster.
Both animals are very intellectual so they will share the quest for knowledge and will be impressed with one another's brainpower. The Rooster takes a while to open up whereas the Monkey is very open and wants a deep connection. This would likely create issues in a long-term relationship.
In terms of their Western signs, the Libra and Scorpio make a decent match. Scorpio will give Libra the intense passion and love they crave in a relationship, while Libra will bring harmony and balance to Scorpio's world. Both signs have a very curious nature but they will always accept each other exactly the way they are and not try to change them.
Although the two called it quits in August 2022 now parted ways, the Skims founder still spoke highly of her SNL ex. Speaking with Interview Magazine, the 41-year-old said, "He's a cutie. He's literally such a good person, they don't really make them like him anymore. I'm excited for what he has coming up".

Deputies are investigating the theft of almost $23,000 worth of ice machines from a Lancaster flea market last month.
Lancaster County will become home to a Virginia-based mortgage company that plans to invest $22 million to build its national headquarters here, creating more than 650 new jobs, S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley's office announced Thursday, Jan. 15.
More than two and a half years after his arrest for one violent crime, a Lancaster man out on bond is again wanted by authorities for the murder of a woman only days before Christmas that was staged to look like a suicide.

With no significant funding increases for counties expected from Columbia any time soon, many county-level public services have been forced to seek alternative funding methods to meet the needs of the communities they serve.
That's the case with the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office as Sheriff Barry Faile tries to figure out how to provide adequate law enforcement protection for Indian Land, a community with a growth rate – and a growing crime rate – that's outpacing his office's ability to protect it.
The Lancaster County School District announced just after 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 13, that county schools would operate on a two-hour delay Wednesday, Jan. 14.
Lancaster County Public Works has placed barricades up on two roads to prevent through traffic due to flooding in the area.
Four members of Lancaster City Council were officially sworn in for a new term of office during a special ceremony held Tuesday, Jan. 6, at City Hall. City Administrator Helen Sowell welcomed attendees and explained why this event was so special.

I'm work with live recordings, but not as an FOH man or something.
For me, an interface like FireStudio lightpipe is the great choice, because can be "rackable" an have an easy and quick setup. The digital mixers have more than i need, and are more weighted and expensive.
BUT, the lightpipe is discontinued and the world don't have an manufacturer doing something similar at the moment.
So, "we" really need an 32 channels interface, with USB3, at this moment!
I have to say I don't have a Firestudio Lightpipe but always felt I would like one.
So I agree with the suggestion or at least in some form replacing the older one with a newer, updated version.
Presonus Audiobox1818vsl, Presonus Audiobox USB, Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56, Presonus Faderport, Presonus Monitor Station v2, M-Audio Axiom Pro 49 keyboard, KMI QuNeo & QuNexus, sundry other external FX hardware, mics, plugins & instruments.
I could say the same about the Firestudio 2626.
I totally understand why they had to stop producing them, but I still fail to see why they didn't replace it with a similar or upgraded model. And why stop updating the OS drivers? I'm not asking for extra functions, I just want it to work with my OS.
Mine is the heart of my studio. If it breaks there is no equivalent to replace it.
I think the drivers have to be updated for years before "retirement", even if the interface is discontinued.
What confidence we have in purchase a product that can be in line today and in the next year don't have more driver support/updates?
But i need a PreSonus! Simply because i like!
You can't expect any manufacturer to continue to manufacture products, using outdated chips with custom drivers. Just about everyone in MI, making interfaces, is using off the shelf chip sets and drivers. It costs too much money to develop our own technology and then make that technology compatible with the world, present and future. No company has a crystal ball to see what that future is. So, we have to use the same chips and drivers everyone else uses. About every three years, things change. Aside from that, you are using personal computers as the foundation for your work. Your foundation will ALWAYS be changing and you will NEVER stop purchasing gear if you do this for life. This is the same as it was in analog world too.

Celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge, International Orange is a public art exhibition like no other. Orchestrated by Cheryl Haines, the executive director of the FOR-SITE Foundation, this project is a product of a partnership between the FOR-SITE Foundation, the Golden Gate Natural Parks Conservancy, and the National Park Service. The realization of this project is an achievement in itself, and it salutes the Golden Gate Bridge resoundingly. But as an exhibition, International Orange also opens up new domains for the realm of public art.
Like the broader sphere of contemporary art, public art has diversified, incorporating strategies of social practice, performance, and video. Yet I have never before seen such a range of time-based public works assembled together as what is incorporated here. Though lacking performance-based works, International Orange hosts an array of approaches to public art that create dynamic and compelling dialogue around the theme of the Golden Gate Bridge. The profusion of video works above all, in the breezy exposed spaces of Fort Point, is something of a revelation. By tucking screens into the darkest corners of the buildings, such as with Abelardo Morell's projections, new perspectives are created. In Vertigo (2012), Morell breaks down the wall between interior and exterior spaces by using the age-old optical technology of the camera obscura. Small apertures allow light into a dark room to create a pair of live-action cameras, reflecting the outside world upside-down on adjacent white screens. The incredible beauty of the exterior environment beams into the chilly darkness of the room, and the sounds of seagulls, tides, and traffic complete the work.
Sound works, another form of time-based art, are also presented in abundance. Bill Fontana siphons the sounds and rhythms of the bridge in real time, accompanied by live footage taken from just beneath the traffic deck, in Acoustical Visions of the Golden Gate Bridge (2012). In Sea Vision T.V. (2012), Courtney Lain presents historic film footage of the bridge on an archaic television in tandem with her musical interpretation of the structure. Jeannene Przyblyski's K-BRIDGE (2012) is a radio program that plays historic stories and contemporary interviews about the bridge, complemented by sounds and music written for the project. This program is played daily in a former officer's quarters. Visitors can access the broadcast on their cell phones via a wifi network installed at the Fort, and specially produced portable radios are available to hearing impaired visitors. Przyblishki's recording nods to history not only in its gallery presentation but also in the old-timey style of the program.

While these works are all time-based, the last two pieces constitute forms of engagement with the past. Time-based works rarely compose the foundation of a public art project—permanently installed sculptural works are the norm—but it is more fascinating that the medium intersects with the themes of the works here. The effect is remarkable because history cannot be grasped in a glance. To direct the attention of a casual observer towards history requires both commemoration and encouragement. It is one thing to come to Fort Point, learn about its former function as a military sentry, and appreciate the scenic beauty and monumental grandeur of the Golden Gate Bridge; it is quite another for visitors to reflect upon their relationships to history. The selection of artists commissioned to produce works, and the forms of their responses, demonstrates a collective effort to reconfigure the nature of public art and its relationship to history. Time is the method used by many of these artists to draw out the complexities involved in looking backwards and determining what this past might mean to us.
Stephanie Syjuco's The International Orange Commemorative Store (A Proposition) (2012) invites visitors to reflect on their expectations of exhibition experiences. Building on her prior project at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Shadowshop, Syjuco has generated a retail environment to capture the memory of this commemorative exhibition, and, like one might expect, a series of different products with spiffily designed international-orange swatches can be found. But the artist plays a trick on viewers, challenging their consumerist desires and forcing them to acknowledge that, as Syjuco's project description informs, "there are many experiences that money can't buy." The contents of Syjuco's store are not for sale, the suggestion being that one cannot pack memories into an object of desire that is retired to a knickknack shelf.
Both these works challenge viewers to find history in our midst and acknowledge the ways in which time shapes our world. In this sense, the multiscreen video work by Camille Utterback, Span (2012), functions as a linchpin for the entire show. In a series of video projections on screens arranged in the geological form of the Golden Gate, the artist layers footage to demonstrate the landscape's evolution over time. The impact of the natural world and the growth of civilization on the land are made visible through the overlaying of live images on maps. The experience of viewing International Orange is another layer of transformation that aligns our presence with the past and reminds us how small our individual footprints really are.
International Orange is on view at the Fort Point National Historic Site, in San Francisco, through October 28, 2012.
