Short-Sell vs. Foreclosure, What's the Difference?
In simple terms… "A foreclosed home is one in which the owner is unable to make his/her mortgage loan payments and the bank repossessed the home" (source). If you stop making your house payments… your lender has the right to foreclose on your property so they can attempt to recoup their money that was lent to you.


Following are the two ways we can build the custom themes in the WP7.
Import the updated results xml file back to portal using xmlaccess.
Do the same for the remaining jsp's using following path.
Note : you may need to do the same changes in nls/theme_en.html file to take your changes effect.
Now you theme is pointing to JSP's from the your custom WAR file and static resources from the webDav store, you can change the static resources directly using the WebDav directly.
Thanks Siva ! The first approach works for me. Though one point is that I am not able to see changes on UI if I do some modifications in any JSP files in the new theme and then refresh the page. Though it works in PageBuilder theme if I modify the JSP files and refresh the page.
1) Can you elaborate the steps needed to ensure "default.jsp conatins all logic to include your theme"
2) I notice that deployment this way does not produce a theme.html in the root of the WebDAV folder. Do you need this file?
This article has been very helpful. I followed all the steps and created a sample theme called mlsTheme but somehow I am getting error "java.io.FileNotFoundException: JSPG0036E: Failed to find resource /themes/html/mlsTheme/head.jsp". Looks like it is not picking up the changes I am making in theme_en.html under nls folder. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Couple of things you may need to validate , first touch the default.jsp and theme.html file and see if it pick up your change and also there is cache settings in wpconfig service validtae them.

Young Thug Pushes Back 'Hy!£UN35' to September
ByEric Diep
E. Diep is a contributing writer at Complex.
More info: Twitter / linkedin / Facebook
Young Thug's debut album, released under 300 Entertainment, is getting pushed back to next month.
After Barter 6, Thugger announced that Hy!£UN35 (pronounced hi-tunes) will be releasing on Aug. 28. In a recent interview with Fuse, the Atlanta rapper confirmed that he's moving to date to Sept. 24, but didn't want to lock in that date either.
"My new album is called Hy!£UN35, and I think it is launching September 24," he says. "I don't know. I might take it back because I got a couple new songs I may want to play for the label. All the songs are perfection."
Thug has teased his upcoming LP with "Pacifier" and has maintained himself as an in-demand artist with standout verses like on Jamie XX's "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)." While Hy!£UN35 has a solid release date, Thug still hasn't updated fans on the release of Slime Season, his collaborative tape with producer London On Da Track.
Here's How Jamie xx's "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)" With Young Thug and Popcaan Came Together
Thug also spoke to Fuse about co-directing with Be El Be and the creative process of "Halftime." You can watch the rest of the interview above.

In Jewish community of Tajikistan's synagogue in Dushanbe, traditional for Jews Sabbath service has not been held for 5 years.
It is located among the narrow streets in one of the oldest districts of Dushanbe center. According to the chairman of the Jewish community in Tajikistan, Yakov Mataev, there are now about 57 Jews living in the country. Mainly they are elderly people. The oldest among them is 90 years old.
"Today is Saturday (the conversation with Yakov Mataev was held on Saturday) and a service should be held during this day at a certain time. However, as you can see, there is no one here. We must have at least 10 people here to hold a service. So many Jews are not coming to the synagogue on the Sabbath day. Almost everyone left Tajikistan. Mostly Jews from Israel, America and other countries come to the synagogue, whose relatives rest in the Tajik land", says Mataev.
"Our synagogue does not even have a rabbi. The last one was Mikhail Abdurakhmonov, after him Avraam Kalontarov acted as rabbi for a very short time, and then moved to Israel. But most Jews left the country during the 1992-1997 civil war", he stresses.
Yakov Mataev regrets that leaving the country, the Jews take their traditions away with them. He himself has no plans of leaving Tajikistan, although his three sons live in Israel and the United States. He is 62 years old and he considers himself to be a native Tajik.
"Today, our synagogue is visited by rare Jews a day before Shabbat, that is, on Friday. This is the seventh day of the week, which is essentially a holiday for Jews. A day before Shabbat, Jews begin to wish each other "Shabbat Shalom," that is, "Peaceful Sabbath" or "Hello, Saturday." Traditionally, on this day in every family a woman lights candles, a man reads a blessing, wine or grape juice is poured, and challah, a special Shabbat bread, is broken. The whole family sits around the table and meets Shabbat – chatting, eating, singing songs. Shabbat begins at sunset on Friday and ends on Saturday, also at sunset", says Yakov Mataev.
A few years ago, an old Dushanbe synagogue, built over a hundred years ago, was demolished. A new residence of the country's president was built on its place. Later, the head of the OrienBank bank, Hasan Assadullozoda, donated to Jews remaining in Tajikistan a mansion in the center of the capital. This synagogue in Dushanbe is the only one operating in the republic. Until 1956, another synagogue functioned in the center of Dushanbe, and the third was located in the city of Khujand. However, they are closed now due to the lack of worshipers.
Maya Dzuttseva teaches at the Ahmad Bobokulov College of Arts in Dushanbe. She is the daughter of Galina Stepanovna Dzuttseva-Kakhanovskaya, who registered the Akhdut Jewish community in Dushanbe in 2003. She headed it until 2016.
"After my mother was gone, I am the head of the Jewish community "Ahdut", says Maya Dzuttseva.
She was born in Dushanbe. During the years of civil conflict, she moved with her newborn baby to Israel, but after 15 years she returned to Tajikistan.
"Mainly elderly people are the members of our society. Their children and grandchildren do not stay here. Seeing no prospects for themselves, they leave abroad. As for Israel, we, the Jewish community in Tajikistan, do not receive any help from our historic homeland. The only organization that assists us is the American Jewish organization Avenezer. They provide assistance with money, food and medicines, and help chronically ill. The Congress of Bukharian Jews also looks after the Jewish cemetery", says Maya Dzuttseva.
In Dushanbe, there are old and new Jewish cemeteries. For the past 13 years, Yusufali Mirzoev has been caring for the graves for a certain salary, which he receives from the Jewish community. Now he is busy with the improvement of the old grave – he is updating the inscriptions on the tombstone. He received this assignment from relatives of the deceased who live in the United States.
"I used to dig 4-5 graves a year previously, but during the last two years I didn't dig a single grave. There are very few Jews left. Relatives and friends come from Israel and America to visit the graves of their dear ones. This year, when visas to and from Uzbekistan were abolished, there are more of such visitors. Jews have their parents' day, and usually the cemetery looks crowded on such a day", said Yusuf Mirzoev.
In 1959, 12,4 thousand Jews lived in Tajikistan, in 1970 – 14,6 thousand (of which 11,4 thousand – in Dushanbe), in 1989 – about 11 thousand. The severe economic and political crisis that swept Tajikistan in the early 1990s and grew into a civil war prompted the most of Jews to leave the country.
In 1985–89, about 600 Jews repatriated from Tajikistan to Israel, in 1990–94, it was 9,378 people. Another part of the Tajik Jews emigrated to the United States.

Secret lives of our profs:
Melody Moberg
Associate Professor of Music Nick Keelan is known to his jazz and trombone students as an expressive musician and passionate educator with a distinctive sense of humor. In addition to his very full Conservatory practice and teaching schedule, he devotes his limited free time to a wide variety of hobbies, including downhill skiing, motorcycle riding and flying a private plane.
Keelan has been at Lawrence for 24 years. Currently, he teaches trombone lessons, directs the Lawrence Jazz Workshop, and performs in both the Faculty Brass Quintet and the Faculty Jazz Group. He also performs in local symphonies, leads clinics throughout the Midwest and teaches private lessons outside of LU. His oldest student is 87.
However, his primary focus is and always has been teaching. Keelan is careful not to overextend himself if it means neglecting his students.
And yet, Keelan's career at Lawrence has been nothing if not busy. He chaired instrumental music education for 20 years, taught euphonium for 15 years and taught tuba for 10. Additionally, he conducted Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Band. "Yeah, I also washed windows," Keelan joked.
Keelan was born and raised in Texas. He received his degrees from the University of Northern Colorado and Henderson State University in Arkansas, a state liberal arts college Keelan describes as comparable to LU.
After these experiences, Keelan taught at a high school in a suburb of Denver for four years and a Texas high school for three. He was also a professional musician in Dallas.
Keelan's favorite music is whatever he "happens to be teaching or listening to at the moment," whether classical, jazz or world music. Currently this includes Bruckner's "Symphony No. 4" and Hindemith's "Symphony in B-flat," which will be performed in the upcoming concert cycles of the Lawrence Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensemble, respectively.
"This music is very fun to coach," Keelan said. "Unlike piano or violin repertoire, there isn't a lot of trombone solo rep, so much of my favorite music is not trombone-specific."
Keelan enjoys "the ebb and flow of teaching," and because the music he works with on a daily basis fluctuates, his musical preferences do too.
Keelan has many interests outside of the Conservatory as well. He flew an airplane for several years as a private pilot. He is a motorcyclist, and he builds model railroads. Keelan explained that his practice regimen keeps him "busy until 11 or 12 at night, so hobbies have to come after that."
Keelan and his wife do not have any children, but they do have four dogs. "Teaching is like having a bunch of kids anyway," he said.
Keelan leads an alternate life as an outdoor enthusiast in Colorado. He and his wife purchased a second home there 15 years ago, which they visit every four to six weeks and during summer, spring and winter breaks. They like to dirt bike and hike mountains – "Not climb!" Keelan exclaimed, "I'm really into that walking thing."
Primarily, though, they ski. Keelan is an avid downhill skier. His wife, who recently retired from her position as choral director of Appleton East High School, is living out of their Colorado home until April as a ski instructor. Keelan describes himself as a "commuter husband."
In addition to wilderness adventure, Keelan likes movies that "make [him] laugh." His current favorite is "Major League," a "stupid baseball movie" set in Milwaukee.
Keelan is certainly a man of many talents both in and out of his work with the Conservatory, whether recounting a story in his deadpan Texas drawl, directing Jazz Workshop, teaching trombone, performing or skiing.

platformOS Developer Portal (2022)
Platformos Developer Portal
platformOS Corp
https://documentation.platformos.com/
The platformOS Developer Portal provides onboarding, conceptual information, tutorials, examples, API references, use cases, and best practices to developers building their apps or sites on the Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) framework that is platformOS. Following the docs as code approach, it is built to accommodate constant iteration and collaboration — with our developer community being involved in all phases of our editorial workflow, the portal is quick to adapt to their ever evolving needs.
Why nominated?
BEST ACCESSIBLE DEVPORTAL
We deeply care about accessibility. We address accessibility right from the design phase, where we use Figma's Able accessibility plugin. We follow the rules for foreground and background color contrast, font size, and graphical objects (like icons, form fields, etc.), to ensure that our site conforms with WCAG AAA.
As another foundation for accessibility, we make sure to only use (and correctly use) semantic HTML — this helps assistive technologies (like screen readers) convey information to their users by following the semantic structure. In addition to ensuring a consistent structure, semantic HTML facilitates web browsers applying default accessibility features for specific HTML elements. For example, buttons allow for keyboard accessibility (can be navigated to and clicked using the keyboard).
We regularly test for accessibility with various tools. Recent test results of the platformOS Developer Portal:
Lighthouse: Accessibility score 100/100
WAVE web accessibility evaluation tool - no errors
AChecker (Web Accessibility Checker): WCAG 2.0 (Level AAA) - no known problems
As semantic HTML is essential for accessibility, we make sure not to style text any other way than through Markdown, which is then translated into HTML. We provide ready-to-use templates for all content types that include all non-changeable content and placeholders with explanations for the sections that are to be contributed by users.
The aspects described above provide a solid technical foundation. But to optimize for accessibility, content needs to be curated with accessibility in mind. To help the community in this regard, we provide the following guidelines in our Documentation Style Guide.
Guidelines for structuring content
Using headers for structuring content: The Markdown format we use is translated into semantic HTML to help screen readers navigate through our content. We use headers as described in the style guide and follow the templates provided to ensure consistency. We never skip a header level for styling reasons.
Improving readability by using concise language, writing short paragraphs, and using lists where possible.
Using alternative text for images and icons, keeping in mind that screen readers read this text out loud.
If the image serves a function as part of the documentation, we describe the image in detail. Users receive the same information from the alt text that they would receive when viewing the image.
Including the data for charts or graphs in the alt text.
When using screenshots to show what the user has to do, the alt text doesn't repeat the information already described in text.
Decorative images don't have alt text — it would only be a distraction.
When inserting an image, we pay attention to the contrast ratio, image quality, and its size in kilobytes. The smaller the image, the more accessible it is. Many people around the world still have poor internet connectivity.
Providing information as text when using videos - not everyone can interpret video content efficiently.
Guidelines for accessible language
We write so that the language we use is inclusive and global, and reflects our users' diversity (including, for example, race, gender, ability, location, etc.).
Definitions for all terminology: We introduce new concepts by starting with a definition, and adding them to the Glossary. We explain acronyms when first used.
Technical language: We use the most specific word we can to talk about technical concepts and processes. For example, we don't say "take" when we mean "copy", or don't say "put" when we mean "install".
Gender-neutral pronouns: We don't use gender-specific, third-person pronouns such as he, she, his, and hers. We use the second person when possible, and "they" when needed.
Descriptive link text: To help keyboard navigation, we add the information into the link text. For example, instead of writing "learn more" or "click here", we write the topic title.
Avoiding ableist language: We don't use words that assume an ability the user might not have (for example, "as you can see" implies the user has a capacity for vision). We avoid directional language, for example, "blue button" or "button below the headline".
Never perpetuating racism, bias, and harm: We replace terms like "blacklist" and "whitelist" with terms like "allowed" or "blocked", or replace "native" with "built-in".
We avoid metaphors and colloquialisms.
BEST DEVPORTAL BEYOND REST PLATFORMS
GraphQL is a domain-specific language that we have baked into the core of platformOS along with Liquid markup, both of which are open-source frameworks. We have clear documentation for both, not just the open-source documentation that we synchronize with, but additional support and examples that have really helped our ecosystem of developers get up to speed. We facilitate developers, who wish to learn best practice, to transition from older frameworks to experiencing the power and flexibility of GraphQL, especially when combined with the "APIs-for-Everything" devops-in-box ecosystem offered by platformOS.
To date, we have developed three main onboarding journeys for the three main segments of our target audience.
Non-technical users can go through the 1-click route that takes them through registering on the Partner Portal and then, by clicking through an intuitive and simple setup wizard, have them create a demo site and install the blog module in just minutes.
Semi-technical users can create a sandbox in which they can experiment by cloning a demo site from our GitHub repository. They also have the option to go through our Hello, World! Guide.
Technical users can follow a more complex tutorial that walks them through the steps of creating an app on platformOS, such as setting up their development environment, syncing with github, deploying and testing their apps, and more. It explains basic concepts, including giving insights into the main building blocks and the logic behind platformOS, while also giving recommendations on best practice workflows.
Separately, we provide two routes for developers to start building a platformOS site instance: start from a premade multi-sided marketplace template, or from scratch (supported by our detailed tutorials). The premade marketplace template is a fully functional marketplace built on platformOS with features such as user onboarding, ad listings and ads, in-app messaging, purchase and checkout, online payment processing, splitting of payments, and more. Following our tutorial, the developer can deploy the template code within minutes giving a broad range of working features that they can then start customizing (both the back- and front-end code), with no limits.
Our Developer Guide provides detailed descriptions of concepts, step-by-step tutorials, references, and examples for implementing various features on platformOS. It starts with an overview of what platformOS is, and then includes in depth topics covering the recommended development workflow, explaining directories and files in the codebase and how to use our command line tool, and getting developers acquainted with our support. These topics help developers create a mental model of our platform, and lay the foundations for confidently using platformOS.
Topics are grouped by features (e.g. Forms), ordered by difficulty (from beginner to advanced), and are cross-referenced to related subsections and topics. Sections usually start with the description of the concept and related background information, then offer one or more tutorials for beginners, and more complex tutorials for advanced users. This makes sure that developers can find all information related to a feature in one place. All topics include code examples, developer tips, and best practice guides where applicable.
In the Best Practices section, we collect articles and tutorials from experienced platformOS developers across a wide variety of topics, including code quality, development workflow, performance, testing and QA.
Although topics in this section are primarily aimed at experienced developers who might want to fine-tune various aspects of their process, beginners can also benefit from reading the articles, helping them form a better understanding of the underlying concepts behind platformOS and starting to implement on the PaaS with a best practice approach.
Use cases describe in detail how we implemented a feature, a module or a web application in platformOS. They describe the problem, the challenges and solutions, and always provide insight into our decision-making process: Why did we decide on one technical approach over another? What factors did we consider? What are the current industry best practices?
Use cases include links to related documentation topics, resources related to the topic (e.g. articles), all assets we used (e.g. templates), example code in our GitHub repository and live demos.
BEST NEW DX INNOVATION
We strive to continuously pay attention to all aspects that impact the developer experience on the platformOS developer portal, such as:
Understanding our target audience
How to provide the most fitting onboarding experience for different target audience segments
How to empower our team and community members to contribute to our documentation
What editorial workflow and technical implementation would best suit various use cases
How to collect and analyze feedback through regular user experience research
How to meet and communicate with our community
How to ensure accessibility, inclusiveness, and sustainability
We are grateful that our developer experience has won the Best Ongoing Developer Experience award at the DevRel Awards 2022.
Audience: Our main target audience is front-end developers and business owners/site builders. Our audience combines technical people with various levels of programming skills - like experienced developers, CTOs, junior developers, as well as non-technical people who come to our docs to evaluate if platformOS might be a good fit for their projects - like project owners, business analysts, and project managers.
Onboarding: The platformOS Developer Portal provides comprehensive onboarding journeys to the three main segments of our target audience, and two options for developers to start building their platformOS sites; start from a premade template or from scratch using our detailed tutorials. Our onboarding has been recognized by the Best Onboarding award at the DevPortal Awards 2021.
Contribution: To make it very easy for all segments of our target audience to be involved, we offer a number of ways to contribute, taking into consideration the time contributors have, and their skill level. For some quick editing, like fixing typos or adding links, contributors can edit the content easily on the GitHub UI. For heavy editing, adding new content, or developers who prefer to use git, we provide a complete Docs as Code workflow. We thank all of our contributors by giving recognition to them on our Contributors page as well as on our GitHub repository's README page. We provide a Contributor Guide, Style Guide, and templates for different content types.
Editorial workflow: We provide a complete docs as code editorial workflow and our documentation works with continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). On every code merge to our main branch our CI/CD of choice, Github Actions, runs quality checks to ensure that the website will remain operational after the changes are deployed. We are excited that our editorial workflow has won the Best Editorial Experience award at the DevPortal Awards 2021.
Accessibility: We plan for accessibility from the outset during the initial design phase, and regularly test for accessibility with various tools - further validated by our Documentation site's very high to often perfect scores in Google Lighthouse, Wave, and AChecker. Besides the technical requirements for accessibility, we think inclusive and accessible language is just as important. This is why we have added accessibility guidelines to our Style Guide and regularly review our content for inclusiveness.
Community: We communicate with our amazing community through many different channels such as our community site, Slack support, and regular video conferences. We keep our community members in the loop by regularly sharing status reports outlining what we've achieved, what we are working on, and what we are planning for the near future. Our status reports also include calls for contribution and research participation, and the results and analysis of UX research. We share updates regarding new features, improvements, and fixes in our release notes, and we regularly share articles about best practices and general news on our blog.
User experience research: Besides getting constant feedback from the community through the channels described above, we plan regular checkpoints in our process to facilitate testing and course-correction. During development activity we tie these checkpoints to development phases. At the end of each larger release we conduct user interviews and compile and share a short survey for community members to fill out. This helps us clarify the roadmap for the next development phase.
Based on total ICT emissions compared with carbon emission by country, if the Internet was a country, it would be the 7th largest polluter. What's even more alarming is that the electricity consumption and carbon emissions from our digital lives is on a sharp increase. This is why we want to emphasize the importance of sustainability when building websites.
Some of the factors we pay attention to in order to make our developer portal sustainable:
Web caching
Navigation, search
Many of the best practices we follow are just as beneficial for the people as the planet, for example, achieving the best possible performance or providing the best user experience tailored to the needs of our audience.
Based on the Website Carbon Calculator, our developer portal runs on sustainable energy and is cleaner than 95% of websites tested. On Ecograder, the platformOS Developer Portal scores 100 out of a possible 100 points.
We believe it's imperative to decrease the carbon footprint of our digital lives. As platformOS facilitates building apps and websites, we would like to lead by example and show how a developer portal can be sustainable without ever compromising on user experience.

A Paratrooper Remembers by Glen Drake
Glen C. Drake, who lives in Baraboo, Wisconsin jumped with H Company, 508th PIR in the D-Day invasion. He also parachuted into Holland during Operation Market-Garden and was one of many of the 508th who fought in the Ardennes during the infamous Battle of the Bulge — all pivotal events of World War II.
Growing up on a Wisconsin farm, Glen Drake had no idea about how his World War II experiences would change his life. They left a permanent imprint as he was required to kill a human being for the first time. Years later, back in the safety of his home state, he suffered the after effects of his wartime experience, still imagining once in a while that he was under attack. His confrontations with German soldiers left him with a hatred of them that persisted into his later years.
A Paratrooper Remembers was compiled by Drake in a series of tapes he made for his children.

What happens to our social media accounts – our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Whatsapp and whathaveyous – when we are no longer on this earth?
I was just thinking about this the other day when I came across this interesting article uncannily addressing the issue I was pondering on; the realm of growing virtual graveyards.
How is our continuing presence in digital space changing the way we die? And what does it mean for those who would mourn us after we are gone? The numbers of the dead on Facebook are growing fast. Some estimates claim more than 8,000 users die each day. At some point in time, there will be more dead Facebook users than living ones. Facebook is a growing and unstoppable digital graveyard.
Most of us would have known a loved one who has passed on yet whose presence online endures. What a strange phenomenon this is. Living, while leaving. Profile pictures, uploaded videos and tagged photos immortalize the person's physicality, preserving one's flesh and bones, wide smiles and glinting eyes, laughter and voice, giving the illusion that this person never left. As though at any moment, he'd post a photo on Instagram, joking that he'd merely fell asleep. As though at any moment, she would reply to your Whatsapp message with a "I'm okay", punctuated with a smiley emoticon. Perhaps this would, weirdly, aid in alleviating the missing, numbing the gradual, crashing realization that these updates will never happen anymore.
I wonder. When it is my time to leave, would I want people to recognize my presence in the cybersphere? Or would I entrust my passwords to someone reliable just so that when that day comes, my virtual self could be deleted, preferring for her to be erased from memory, nary a trace left online?
With our online platforms, we are ultimately building another 'me', an image projected from reality, our personae and our legacy, with which we build connections with people whom we might have otherwise not crossed paths with had it not been for the internet. Will all of this too disappear, once our soul departs?
I guess the question we'll have to ask ourselves is this: If we are virtually going to exist 'forever', then what do we want to be remembered for? What will our legacy be?

English Review: YUMMY MEAT: A HALLOWEEN CAROL (John Fitzpatrick – 2015)
YUMMY MEAT: A HALLOWEEN CAROL
Original title: Yummy Meat: A Halloween Carol
2015 – U.S.A.
Genre: Short film
Director: John Fitzpatrick
Music: Aaron J. Goldstein
Screenplay: Sean Decker
With Miracle Laurie, Lucas Jaye, Lou Ferrigno Jr. and Luke Albright
Story: Amber, dentist, is alone at home on Halloween's night, waiting for her husband to come back home. A kid knocks at the door, but he's asking for something rather different than candies…
It's always interesting to watch short films. Because it's a challenge. How to tell a story that fast, to be effective and to entertain. It's even more difficult when you do a horror short. How to scare people in a few minutes, to give them thrills? To set up an atmosphere. That's why some are interesting and succeed, and some just fail. And that's also why anthologies like The ABCs of Death are entertaining but not that good. The best are among some real bad ones. But anyway, today, we're talking about Yummy Meat: A Halloween Carol, a 5 minutes horror short, part of the Scary Endings, a TV series of 11 shorts made last year. And you guessed right, it's about Halloween, but no serial killer here, something different. We are with Amber (Miracle Laurie) in her home, it's Halloween night, and it's just a regular night. Waiting for the husband, drinking red wine, answering to kids at the door who want candies. Yummy Meat looks professional since its first frame. The cinematography is nice, the direction too, so are the actors. But if it works, it's thanks to the script (by Sean Decker, who also worked on the film L.A. Slasher, and yeah, I have it and need to see it!) and the little boy Lucas Jaye.
This cute innocent little boy is a great deal, cause he brings weirdness and a creepy atmosphere to the short. Yeah, the short, without saying too much, involves a monster, and when it comes to show it, you know it's a guy in a suit, and maybe I was wrong, but it worked for me as a tribute to those old monster movies I love. And also, it works because the atmosphere was here from the start. Also for people who loves blood (like me), you have some pretty good gruesome special effect near the end. So if like me, you like blood, atmosphere, monsters, and you like films being shot seriously, you can try that one, it's definitely a good pick, and it works well only in 5 minutes!
The best:
A seriously made film
Lucas Jaye
Atmosphere, blood, monster
Meeeh:
Some might find the monster cheap
So: In only 5 little minutes, this short gives you a creepy kid, some great special effects, a monster and a fun blooper after the ending credits!

Although UFO "officially" do not exist, reports of sightings continue to be made, and the Internet is filled with thousands of photos and videos of them. Although the scientific world has put UFOs out to pasture, the evidence used to dismiss them is extremely scanty and unscientific. Dr. Hynek, a scientist himself and the only government-paid ufologist in history, looks at the decisions made by officialdom in the early days of ufology, and how these have held us back - to the point that we are still naively talking about UFOs as we were talking about them in the 1950s.
This book includes information regarding an encounter above the Atlantic; the Killian case; the Captain Ruppelt record; the Armstrong Theater battle and much more.
An absolutely essential, not to be missed experience by specialist Edward J. Ruppelt for fans of ufology! This is the first work of any substance written about the fascinating subject of UFOs. Captain Edward J. Ruppelt was the first director of Project Blue Book, and the person who came up with the phrase UFO, Unidentified Flying Object. This work is a unique and comprehensive look at the Air Force's early attempts to investigate UFOs.
Are aliens among us? Take a trip straight into the heart of one of humanity's biggest mysteries: the alien presence on Earth! Here are more than 40 true eyewitness accounts, many never-before published, that describe in detail personal encounters with alien beings and their craft. The stories come from all over the world and from witnesses in all walks of life - people just like you. Every story is analyzed by a commentary that explores our involvement with alien beings - and why.
Kind of boring. It was hard to stay focused.

be afraid, and the cover up is correct. But personally, "I can handle the truth", and so can the public, (probably) !
one of best UFO books. non sensational, just honest fact s. not too dated considering it was released in the 60s.


O knihe: The book is divided into four chapters, and each chapter serves a different purpose; deals with a different pain; heals a different heartache. milk and honey takes readers through a journey of the most bitter moments in life and finds sweetness in them because there is sweetness everywhere ifyou are just willing to look.
Jedna z najlepších kníh vôbec. Milujem poéziu a táto kniha je bomba!

Open Access News, Publishing in Open Access
Despite the Non-Profit Push for Gold Open Access, Publishers' Transition to Open Science Involves Reservations
Author: Pablo Markin No Comments Share:
Vested interests and insufficient sustainability may slow the international progress toward Gold Open Access, as a standard for the publication of scientific articles, despite philanthropic funding, even though in the European Union policy-based mandates may effect a wide-ranging switch from subscription-based models to Open Access and Open Science.
A Blog Article by Pablo Markin.
As the Open Access partnership trial between the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has reached its conclusion, the rift between Open Access and subscription-based models becomes ever more apparent. As this inter-institutional partnership became effectively discontinued, on the face of it, this non-profit effort has proved the ineffectiveness of piecemeal initiatives. Based on more than 100,000 USD that the Gates Foundation has provided to the AAAS over the 18 months of their partnership, this initiative paid for only 16 academic articles in its first year and merely 10 additional papers in the next six months.
Though high-ranking American scientific journals, such as the New England Journal of Medicine founded in 1811, have been responding to the Gates Foundation funding by introducing Gold Open Access publication options in addition to their subscription-based offerings with no author-facing fees, this does not amount to a momentum in favor of Open Access in the United States. This could be the case because the former funder insists on Creative Commons CC-BY licensing that also allows for unrestricted access, use and reproduction for commercial purposes. In other words, under these licensing terms, Open Access is likely to progressively reduce the stock of intellectual property assets in the form of scholarly articles that journal publishers could use as bargaining chips for subscription contract negotiations and valorization agreements with business organizations.
In other words, conventional journal publishers may be inclined to favor their economic interests in the article publishing models they institute, while making exceptions for third-party funded Open Access options. However, this does not bode well for the prospects of a world-wide transition to the principles of Open Science, since for journal publishers the adoption of Open Access models is likely to be tantamount to forgoing both subscription-based recurring revenue streams and future profit opportunities deriving from the ownership of intellectual property that published research results represent. This especially applies to Gold Open Access that rules out using subscriptions to increase the sustainability of Open Access models, such as Green or hybrid Open Access that limit access to recently published articles for a limited time period.
This is also what the European Commission (EC) seeks to overcome via policy-making means, as the deadline of 2020 for the default publishing in Open Access of research results supported by the European Union approaches. In view of the vested interests of large international publishers, such as Elsevier and Springer Nature, that have favored subscription-based models, the present market share of Open Access is limited to approximately 20%. Thus, in Europe and elsewhere, dismantling paywalls per se, such as via non-profit or governmental funding, may not necessarily usher in the age of Open Science, given that at present the critical mass of journal and article publishing setups continues to support subscription-based models as profitability engines.
Whether or not university consortia, such as in Germany, and supranational bodies, such as the EC, will tip the article publishing market toward Open Access remains to be seen.

Pulgram (Pulgern, now Bulhary in the Břeclav District of the South Moravian Region, Czech Republic; coordinates: 48° 49' 53" N, 16° 44' 55" E), a village about 10 miles east of Nikolsburg (now Mikulov) in Moravia, situated on the Thaya River, belonged to the Nikolsburg domain of Liechtenstein. In the period of persecution of 1535 Hans Tuchmacher or Amon gathered the Anabaptist brotherhood "between Nikolsburg and Pulgern in the Föhrenwald," and secretly administered the "glorious and beautiful memorial of the Lord's Supper with great peace."
When persecution subsided, a group of Philippites settled in Pulgram; in the fall of 1538 they joined the Hutterite Brotherhood, whereby the latter came into the possession of a stately Bruderhof which included "the bake house, also the great house in which the school was located, the smithy, and the new house below the smithy." Other buildings were soon erected.
But in the next year danger threatened under the pressure of royal decrees. Amon wrote that the Brethren were about to be expelled from Pulgram, "and the sick and the children put out without pity." In 1545, on a shallow pretext but with the consent of the authorities, a quantity of cattle, leather, and wine were taken from them; in 1547 the great persecution brought with it greater damages.
In 1551 the preacher Peter Hag died here, who was one of the Brethren taken to the galleys from the Falkenstein castle, but managed to return home and memorialized his fate in a song.
In this year also, with the silent consent of the government, the settlement was robbed of much goods by a butcher Kunther and his associates, and the Brethren driven into the forest for a time. Later they prospered and were even able to lease a dairyfarm from the Nikolsburg lords. In 1591 Siegmund von Dietrichstein expelled them and also the Swiss Brethren from Bergen and Voitelsbrunn. Some of them settled in Wastitz, and others in Sobotište. In 1619 Dampierre's troops quartered in Pulgram and severely damaged the Bruderhof at Neumühl.

Heavy rain from a fall storm system has resulted in at least two freeway closures and flooding across several roadways across the Bay Area early Thursday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The CHP said that eastbound Interstate Highway 580 just east of the MacArthur Maze in Oakland is currently closed, and eastbound state Highway 4 just east of Pine Street in Martinez is also shut down due to heavy roadway flooding.
Both directions of The Alameda are also closed at Stockton Avenue due to a flooding under the railroad closing, the San Jose Fire Department confirmed.
In San Francisco, 19th St Oakland BART Station is closed due to flooding. Officials ask riders use the other station's entrance.
According to the CHP's Golden Gate Division traffic management website, roadway flooding has been an issue on Bay Area roadways since 8 p.m. Wednesday.
The National Weather Service expects showers - some with heavy rainfall - to continue throughout the rest of the morning and showers to stretch into Thursday night.
There is no estimated time of reopening of the roadways.
No further information is immediately available.


Racism, offshore detention and violence against women among themes explored in longlist which includes Julia Baird, Maxine Beneba Clarke and Julia Leigh.
Julia Baird, Maxine Beneba Clarke, Julia Leigh and recently deceased writers Georgia Blain and Cory Taylor are among 12 authors whose books have been longlisted in the 2017 Stella prize, celebrating Australian women writers.
The list was whittled down from more than 180 entries by a panel of judges, including author and academic Brenda Walker, literary critic Delia Falconer, bookseller Diana Johnston, editor Sandra Phillips and writer Benjamin Law.
Also longlisted were Emily Maguire, Madeline Gleeson, Fiona McFarlane, Elspeth Muir, Heather Rose, Catherine de Saint Phalle and Sonya Voumard.
In the judging statement, panel chair Walker said this year's longlist was notable for its topicality, and its heavy weighting towards nonfiction and investigative research.
"Many of them address urgent national issues with particular relevance to women, at a time when women are fighting to be politically seen and heard, and to secure their positions in the public sphere," Walker said.
Maxine Beneba Clarke's The Hate Race chronicles the cumulative effects racism had on the writer's early life; An Isolated Incident by Emily Maguire is a crime novel that deals explicitly with violence against women; Elspeth Muir wrote memoir Wasted after her 21-year-old brother killed himself by jumping into a river while drunk; and Offshore: Behind the Wire on Manus and Nauru by Madeline Gleeson, which won in the nonfiction category of the Victorian Premier's Literary award in January, is an investigation into Australia's offshore detention policy.
The Avalanche, written after Julia Leigh decided to stop unsuccessful IVF treatment, is an unflinching and personal look at the psychological costs of the multibillion-dollar industry. The Media and the Massacre is journalist Sonya Voumard's literary investigation into the Port Arthur massacre and how it was reported. Two of the books on the longlist explore the dying process: Between a Wolf and a Dog by Georgia Blain and Dying: A Memoir by Cory Taylor. Both authors died from cancer in 2016.
"These are important contributions to the national conversation, and help us to move towards a more inclusive and empathetic Australian society," said Walker.
Named for Stella Miles Franklin, who wrote My Brilliant Career under a male pseudonym, the longlist was announced at an event in Sydney on Tuesday evening which featured readings from performance artist and poet Candy Royalle, writer and actor Nakkiah Lui, past Stella nominee Fiona Wright, and Charlotte Wood, who won the 2016 Stella prize for her book The Natural Way of Things.
The $50,000 Stella prize will be awarded on 8 March.

Effect of flow velocity and temperature on ignition characteristics in laser ignition of natural gas and air mixtures
Jonathan D. Griffiths, Mike Riley, Alexander J. Borman, Colin Dowding, Antony Kirk, Ronald Bickerton
CreativeUEA
Laser induced spark ignition offers the potential for greater reliability and consistency in ignition of lean air/fuel mixtures. This increased reliability is essential for the application of gas turbines as primary or secondary reserve energy sources in smart grid systems, enabling the integration of renewable energy sources whose output is prone to fluctuation over time. This work details a study into the effect of flow velocity and temperature on minimum ignition energies in laser-induced spark ignition in an atmospheric combustion test rig, representative of a sub 15 MW industrial gas turbine (Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd., Lincoln, UK). Determination of minimum ignition energies required for a range of temperatures and flow velocities is essential for establishing an operating window in which laser-induced spark ignition can operate under realistic, engine-like start conditions. Ignition of a natural gas and air mixture at atmospheric pressure was conducted using a laser ignition system utilizing a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser source operating at 532 nm wavelength and 4 ns pulse length. Analysis of the influence of flow velocity and temperature on ignition characteristics is presented in terms of required photon flux density, a useful parameter to consider during the development laser ignition systems.

Amtrak Philadelphia train service takes you to 30th Street Station, the magnificent interior of which, you see above... but you still have to get to the Philadelphia tourist attractions.
Amtrak Philadelphia train service makes it easy to reach the city from anywhere in the Northeast Corridor. New York City, Baltimore, and Washington, DC, are the closest geographically, but you can also travel here quickly and inexpensively from New Haven, Boston, Providence, and Pittsburgh, as well.
Although Amtrak does make other Philadelphia-area stops, its regional hub for Amtrak Philadelphia service is the architecturally dazzling 30th Street Station - which you see pictured above.
Of course, you still have to get to the major Philadelphia tourist attractions, most of which are a healthy distance from 30th Street Station, so named because it is located at 30th and Market Streets.
Fortunately, you can take SEPTA Regional Rail service to either Market East Station - at 11th and Market Streets - and/or Suburban Station - located at 16th Street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard. Your Amtrak ticket is valid on SEPTA Regional Rail service for trips between 30th Street Station, to and from either Market East or Suburban Station, during the single day of your travel.

CAIR sees a role in Oregon
Register-Guard

The Council on American-Islamic Relations — a national civil rights and advocacy group for Muslims — is opening a chapter in Oregon. It's unfortunate that one of the factors driving this is a spate of hate crimes against Muslims, including a well-publicized attack in Portland.
The Muslim population in Oregon is tiny. A 2014 Pew Research Center study put it at 1 percent of the state's population, the greatest number of whom — CAIR estimates about 40,000 to 50,000 people — live in the Portland area.
It's an unusually diverse population, CAIR-Oregon Representative Zakir Khan says, including Somalis, Syrians, Arabs, Pakistanis, Jordanians and others — including native-born Americans.

Dog eating cat food
dog eating cat food,
The author of this article is not responsible for the views or the content expressed within it.
By: Dr Jyoti Tiwari
On May 26th, 2009, an article was published by New Scientist in the US which discussed the fact that dogs eat cat food.
The article was based on a study by University of Massachusetts, which had concluded that the dogs were more attracted to food with a high level of proteins. A lot of this food is in the form of canned food and it was the fact that it had the higher level of protein, that led the dogs to eat it.
A few weeks later, on July 5th, 2009, an article was published by the Telegraph in the UK which stated that dogs have been seen eating their owners' dinners and the researchers had suggested that this might be because the animals are not getting enough protein.
What is interesting about both the articles is that one was published in New Scientist and the other was published in the Telegraph.
New Scientist and the Telegraph have published similar articles on similar issues.
In 2005, the Daily Mail reported that the number of cats in the UK was increasing and they cited reasons of why this was.
One of these reasons was that there were more dog owners and cats were more attracted to the food that was left out for them.
The Telegraph wrote an article in which they cited research by the University of California, which had found that pets eat a lot of cat food, especially after the death of their owners.
According to the Telegraph, dogs have an average lifespan of nine years, and most of the food that is left out for them, is leftover food for their owners.
If this is the case, wouldn't it make sense to feed the dogs something else?
There have been times when some people have even seen dogs eating human food.
In 2009, when a woman called a dog-walker to take her dog out, she found a dog eating some of her food in her dog-food bag.
When the dog-walker was taking the dog to the nearby park, the woman found a box of chocolate-chip cookies in her bag. The dog was seen eating a large portion of the cookies.
The woman said that she had never seen the dog eat anything like this before and it was a big shock for her.
How dogs can eat other dog food
There have been studies in recent years, where it has been reported that the dogs actually can eat the other dog food that is left out.
This has happened in both the US and in the UK.
It is interesting to note that some dogs have been found to eat the left-out food in their owners' lunch boxes.
The only possible reason that can be given for the dog eating the left-out food is because they were more attracted to it and were more interested in eating it.
This is because this was the only food that was left out for the dogs.
It is possible that the dog may have also eaten some of the dog food that was left out for its owner.
This is also reported to be the case with cats, who have been seen eating the leftover food left out for their owners.
It should be noted that the dogs are not eating human food.
The dogs and cats are always more attracted to the food that is left out for them and there has been a lot of interest shown in their feeding habits.
Why do people have cats and dogs?
Dogs and cats have a lot of similarities.
They both have similar needs and requirements and there have been a lot of research studies which have been conducted on them.
Cats and dogs are both similar animals and one can say that they are the most affectionate and most loyal animals.
The dogs, like the cats, have a very different and unique personality.
Like the cats, dogs have a different and unique needs, requirements and requirements.
Dogs, like the cats, have a strong desire to protect the humans.
Like the cats, dogs have a strong loyalty towards the humans.
They both have a strong desire to live with the humans and to be with the humans.
