Empire Academy 2.0
Meet The Man Behind
Empire Academy
Meet the Man
JT Franco aspired to live life on his terms from a very young age. He couldn't imagine spending his entire life having to work 9-5 and take instructions from someone else. Everyone around him labeled him a rebel for thinking differently and for wanting the escape the system.
At 17, he dropped out of high school and took complete control of his life. His entire family thought his decision was a mistake and that he would be a failure. Determined to prove them wrong, He was on a mission to create a life that allowed him to live on his terms.
JT Franco had a knack for entrepreneurship. Soon after he dropped out, he started a catering company. The business expanded rapidly and made a decent profit within a year, but that came at the cost of working 16 hours a day to keep the company up and running. The long hours spent started taking a toll on him.
JT had bigger dreams for his life. He wanted to travel the world and live his life to the fullest, but this current job didn't give him any freedom to do so. The long hours pushed him to the verge of giving up entrepreneurship and getting a 9-5, but before giving in to become a minimum wage employee, JT gave entrepreneurship one more try. He wanted a better business model that is less time-consuming and more enjoyable, so he turned to online business.
He came across Amazon FBA and was ready to dive deep into it. Over the next month, he taught himself through research, countless YouTube videos, podcasts, and paid training programs. Within weeks, he launched his first three products but unfortunately, all of them failed. Even in those difficult times, he did not give up. He decided to give it one more shot, and the fourth product set him free.
JT developed a tried and tested formula to win at Amazon FBA through his creativity and countless hours of strategizing.
He now earns profit in seven figures, allowing him to live life the way he has always dreamt. JT's family was astounded to see his rapid growth, and they are proud of his achievements.
Empire Academy is JT Franco's brainchild. With Amazon FBA, he helps people achieve their dream of having an online business. He has liberated thousands of people from their 9-5 grind and supported them to run their businesses successfully.

Being an atheist, I have spent a lot of time debating religious people about all sorts of things such as my freedom to be an atheist to the US motto (In God We Trust) being printed on our money. The theist is on the wrong side of the debate all the time but they seem to believe my equality and freedom is subject to debate. No one would rationally support that kind of injustice. Imagine my shock when a fellow atheist, trying to support debating the equality of women, used a line of argument we atheists dismiss out of hand when fundamentalist Christians use it against Evolution.

The Fontanelles - Strangers Please Take Care
The Fontanelles
Strangers Please Take Care
In 2010 The Fontanelles comprised of Dave Mehling, Darin Rieland, Beau Jeffrey and Jason Mcglone formed. It took awhile to get there but the band released their debut Strangers Please Take Care this year. The band did it right as you can tell that these songs weren't just thrown together. They also happened to have the album professionally recorded, mixed and mastered.
If you were looking for quick comparisons the most obvious would be Wilco in a number of ways. Like Wilco the band utilizes a lot of clean guitar, have a warm Americana feel and the lead singer has some resemblance to Jeff Tweedy. I don't know how much influence Wilco has on The Fontanelles but the tip of the hat seems obvious to anyone who has spent time with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or A Ghost Is Born. At the end of the day the Wilco similarities, which seem apparent from time to time are the only slight issue I could see adversely affecting the band because everything else is exceptional.
The songs are consistently good from beginning to end with a superb ebb and flow. Up first is "I Am The One" which starts off with a piano and vocals leading the drive. It's heartfelt, warm and immediately easy to enjoy. The song makes a change that took me by surprise. It reminded me of Jon Lennon's solo material. It transitions into a fantastic instrumental part involving guitar, horns and exceptional drumming. Great opener.
"Don't Be So Beautiful" is straight up apple pie Americana. It's a song with infectious vocals and killer riffs. "Call Me Later" is another song that just feels so warm and heartfelt like the songs that came before. The band gets groovin' at times I wasn't expected which added more allure to the band.
The next song that stuck out to me was "Emily" not only because it was well written but arguably the most original sounding song. I thought the minimal beginning revolving around guitar and vocal was good but the transition into a cascading waterfall of instrumentation was great. The last song I need to mention is the seven-plus-minute "Stranger." I'll say that the song goes into a number of areas with the peak being the bluegrass/country inspired hoedown.
Overall, Strangers Please Take Care is a great debut from a band that has a boatload of potential. Recommended.

LONDON TAXI DRIVER, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COACH, PSYCHOLOGIST, KEYNOTE SPEAKER AND NLP PRACTITIONER.
Take a trip with coach cab, just some free words of wisdom that may help you with you're life's bumps and obstacles.
Hi my name is John Allen I am the founder of INNER VOICE LIMITED.
I would like to tell you a true story, one of my stories an event that happened to me, if you like a life changing event. My story starts with a journey, a journey that I took which has, in time has allowed me to design and build INNER VOICE and AMA COACHING.
I start the journey at 20 stone with high blood pressure, well I sit in a cab all day and eat to strive off boredom and although I was not aware of it 'Depression' I think you'll agree I was not in a very good place at all (remind you of anyone?).
The weight, my weight, was becoming a really great issue for me and my family. Ok I had tried to diet and take some exercise, as we all do, but I could not understand what was going on, I had been a slim guy enjoyed sports and was generally active but I wanted more I felt unsatisfied, unresolved, I kept asking myself what do I want, what was going on in that head of mine.
I would never feel full after eating, I had no energy to take on all of life's problems and hold them to my heart and in this the heart was struggling as well. I could not play football with my son, who I loved and I knew he deserved better, a better father, it was not a good place.
So as I was saying it all starts with a journey, I went to the doctors with a cold and feeling run down the doctor took my blood pressure to check me over, the information from the machine was not good and before I knew what was happening I was in an ambulance and I spent that night in hospital on a heart monitor, I was Scared! Very scared, what was happening to me, it felt as if I was a passenger in my life not the person in control and of course my choices affected not only me, my wonderful family and my friends but every interaction I had social, professional and domestic. Then the depression kicked in I had hit rock bottom. I had to get my life in order BUT HOW?
I was given a gift, a book, a book on psychology. Wow it made total sense to me, it was talking volumes to me.
That for me is when it started, my control yes me taking control of 'My life'. Control, my life control it started to snowball into a quest for information. The information started to flow the information that I gained from reading light up my life, I was now hungry for more information more control I was reading information on neurobiology, neuroscience, psychology, I started to learn about techniques like Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and body language. At the same time as starting to understand myself and my choices I was back looking at diet and fitness.
The routes and the thought presses started to get better. The pieces of the jigsaws started to fit in place.
I had begun to realise that what you eat impacts how you think and how you act. I had also discovered that exercise helps you take in oxygen, the oxygen you put in your body helps your thought presses work faster.
I needed exercise, I needed oxygen to feed my thoughts so I started running and then cycling and finally swimming, then what to do with all my new energy, I know triathlons. That was a doorway a doorway to other events and setting new life goals and many other events now at 13 stone I am a completely changed person.
I would like to help you achieve the same results that I have achieved. I call it AMA COACHING. All my techniques my strategies the process which have changed my life. The person I am today can help you.

ISIS to Israel: 'We're Coming Very Soon'
By DEBKAfile
This past weekend has seen a major escalation of the ISIS threats against Israel, DEBKAfile's intelligence and counterterrorism sources report. In a coordinated maneuver by all of the ISIS commands in the Middle East, the terrorist organization simultaneously released at least 10 videos that it said showed ISIS forces on their way to attack targets in Israel.
All of the videos refer to the Palestinian issue, Jerusalem and the timing of the attacks. In each one, the narrator claims the terror organization did not forget the Palestinians, and will not neglect them any more; describes Jerusalem as "a bridge to Islam"; and threatens an impending attack, saying "We're coming, and coming very soon" accompanied by images of fighters from the ISIS affiliate in the Sinai are shown.
It was not the first time for the ISIS propaganda machine to threaten hostilities against Israel, but it was the first time for the threat to be issued simultaneously from every province or city where ISIS is located in the Middle East. The videos included ones from Raqqa, the ISIS capital in Syria; Mosul, the terrorist organization's capital in Iraq; the Sinai Peninsula and Egypt; Derna in eastern Libya; and central Libya, where according to DEBKAfile's counterterrorism sources ISIS controls a huge 300-kilometer area including the Mediterranean coast on the Gulf of Sidra.
Our sources report that every video contains the following sentences: "We know that the Egyptian army is being helped by Israeli intelligence and the Israeli Air Force in its war against us"; "We also know that Israel set up intelligence networks within the population of the Bedouin tribes in the Sinai"; and "From now on we will take action against Egyptian and Israeli targets as one."
DEBKAfile's intelligence sources report that these comments are intended to counter efforts by the Egyptian military to establish anti-ISIS militias among the Bedouin tribes. This came after American counterterrorism experts advised the Egyptian military to operate the same way that the US operates among the Sunni tribes in western Iraq's Anbar province, where US military instructors are setting up local militias to prevent ISIS fighters from entering or passing through areas under the tribes' control. Our sources report that three Bedouin anti-ISIS militias have been established in the Sinai so far: the "Sons of Sinai", "Unit 103"; and the "Death Squad,"
Meanwhile, the ISIS affiliate in the Sinai carried out one of its boldest terrorist attacks on Sunday, May 8, killing eight Egyptian policemen including an officer, in the Cairo suburb of Helwan. Four masked terrorists with automatic weapons jumped out of a commercial vehicle that had blocked a minibus transporting the policemen, fired hundreds of bullets at the minibus, killing everyone inside, and then fled the scene. Western counterterrorism experts monitoring ISIS-Sinai estimate that it not only has the ability to carry out terrorist attacks in major Egyptian cities, but also against Israel.
Hamas Bolsters Forces on Sinai Border over ISIS Concern
By Reuters and Israel Hayom
The Hamas terrorist group has beefed up its security presence along the Egypt-Gaza Strip border to counter Cairo's concerns that it is aiding the Islamic State group in Egypt's volatile Sinai Peninsula.
Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, began deploying additional security forces along the border with Egypt in mid-April in an effort to ease Cairo's security concerns, which have increased since the overthrow of former Islamist Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Hamas security forces have set up dozens of new military bases and watch towers in border areas, allowing hundreds of security personnel to take up positions along the 13-kilometer (8-mile) border while soldiers in pickup trucks patrol back and forth.
The deployment followed a meeting between a senior Hamas delegation and Egyptian intelligence officials in Cairo in March. The two sides reached an agreement that sees Hamas halt tunnel construction in return for the opening of the Rafah Border Crossing, Gaza's main gateway to the outside world.
Egypt has accused Hamas of backing an insurgency of Islamist terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula. Hamas has denied the allegations. Following the visit, Hamas vowed to take concrete steps to prevent arms smuggling and the infiltration of extremist elements across the border into Sinai.
"Hamas has boosted its security presence along the Palestinian-Egyptian border in order to maintain firm control of the border areas after an agreement between Hamas and Egyptian officials," said Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman. "Hamas' position is clear: Hamas will not allow Gaza to be a threat to Egypt's security. The reports which spoke about the infiltration of extremist elements from the Gaza Strip into the Sinai Peninsula are merely Israeli allegations that aim to harm the relations between the Hamas movement and Cairo."
Hamas, currently facing its worst financial crisis since it violently seized control of Gaza in 2007, hopes the new security arrangements will ensure a permanent opening of the Rafah Border Crossing and lay a platform for new relations with Egypt. The movement's financial situation worsened after Egyptian forces damaged and used seawater to flood the smuggling tunnels that served as a lifeline for Hamas in Gaza.
Hamas security forces have launched a harsh arrest campaign against radical Salafi groups, which support the global holy war launched by IS and al-Qaida, following a string of bombings that have targeted many of the group's security headquarters and vehicles in the heart of Gaza over recent years.
"Actually, Hamas has been cracking down on extremist Salafists since 2009," said Mukheimar Abu Saada, a political analyst. "Hamas security forces clashed with a group of Salafists and killed many of them in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip many years ago. And since then, Hamas security forces have been launching arrest campaigns against extremist Salafists, mainly because their presence threatens security and stability in the Gaza Strip."
Netanyahu: What Happened in the Bible, Happened Here
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with the participants of the Bible Quiz on Sunday, held traditionally on Israel's Independence Day (Yom Ha'atzmaut). Also present were Education Minister Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home), Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky, and the World Bible Quiz leader Itzik Ben-Avi.
Sixty-five teenagers from 33 countries around the world and Israel participated this year in the Quiz, under the theme of the Unity of Israel.
"We are in the land of the Bible, we are in the city of Jerusalem," Netanyahu said during the meeting. "What happened there happened here. This is our country, this is our heritage," Netanyahu said. "Our schools. Our story. Our faith, our hope. All this is in the Bible."

The Man Behind the Meme: Where Distraction Thrives
October 31, 2017 November 6, 2017 Madeline Park
Faraz Noor Shaikh, creator of the UC San Diego Memes Facebook page, describes the importance of memes in creating laughter and a community feel that builds friendships and gets you through the tough times.
On an average day in the midst of Nov. 2016, Faraz Noor Shaikh created what has now become a community.
With three to four thousand people joining within the first three weeks and around 18,000 members people as of today, Shaikh was unable to anticipate the magnitude of the crowd that his small idea would attract.
This idea? Put simply, it is the UCSD Facebook meme page, more commonly known as "UCSD Memes for Sleep Deprived Tritons" — a page where fellow Tritons can gather to share a good laugh or inside jokes.
Meet Faraz Shaikh, the third-year computer science Marshall College student who created the page. Although eventually turning into something quite big, the meme page's origins were quite humble.
"Initially, I was writing an essay and I decided to take a break," Shaikh said, "So I went on Facebook during that break. And I was on the Berkeley meme page and I thought, 'does UCSD even have a meme page'? So I looked it up and we had some meme thing that wasn't really popular, so I made one — just for kicks and giggles. I never expected it to blow up in this way."
The meme page's simple origin reflects the very thing that makes it popular — its relatability. Just like how many can connect to Shaikh's experience — being distracted by Facebook in the midst of an essay — are memes popular because they provide a feeling of connectivity among students. From Eggers tags to raccoon reacts, memes have contributed to the culture of UCSD in a very tangible way.
"I've seen people in my lecture halls, like seven or eight people sitting together looking at the meme page right in front of me. And they'll be laughing at memes together," Shaikh remarked. "When I see that happening I feel happy — I feel like, 'wow, I'm bringing laughter into their lives.' … Generally, the atmosphere at this campus is like Week 3 hits and you get very serious, very depressed because of midterms. So I feel like through the meme page you have this portal to forgetting about your [worries]."
It is this sense of unity that gets at the heart of the meme page. In the increasingly internet-centered world, memes have now become the new expression of friendship. Rather than merely chatting through private messaging, tagging friends in memes acts as a public way of showing someone that you are thinking of them and that you want to share this "experience" with them.
For meme creators as well, memes are more than just funny pictures. Enter Nick Lin, a second-year data science student from Revelle. One of the admins on the UCSD meme page, Lin gained a reputation for being one of the more notable meme creators, especially for being the one who began the "raccoon craze." For him, memes have not only been a way to show off his comedic talent, but have also served as an outlet for expression.
"I originally posted stuff because I thought it was funny, because my background was actually stand-up. I used that talent for the memes," Lin remarked. "I started off standup comedy in high school senior year. It was basically something to help me overcome my public speaking fear, which I still kind of have … you kind of figure out what people find funny and what people don't find funny through your standup. The similarities are that you need to find what people can relate to. I think that's the main goal of comedy, being like 'oh, I've experienced this somehow' or 'I've experienced something similar to this.' And then you laugh at yourself."
So what exactly do these memes consist of? For those who have been on the page since its beginning, the meme page has seen a flurry of diverse topics. From the time that Professor Eggers joined the page and was continuously tagged in posts to the battles between STEM versus non-STEM majors to the more recent memes about the transit situation, this page is constantly being updated with new and current content. In a way, it is this very feature that makes the meme page unique. With the freedom to post about nearly anything, the meme page has brought an awareness to certain issues that affect the students of UCSD.
Shaikh emphasized the common student problems that the meme page regularly brings to light, such as the lack of parking and the finicky wifi.
"What is great about the meme page is that it brings up issues that there are not many avenues to address … even larger [ones] like student housing and how that has impacted so many people," Shaikh explained. "To cope with such things, I feel people will make a meme about them to show that they are not alone [in] facing this dilemma, and I also feel that the school administration should take advantage of the page and use it as an avenue to see the problems students are facing."
For the 17,500 members that are part of the "UCSD Memes for Sleep Deprived Tritons" page, memes have become more than just pictures of raccoons. Instead, they have grown to encapsulate and connect a whole culture and community that is alive and thriving at UCSD. Whether that takes the form of tagging or "cracking open a cold one with the boys," meme culture is just another way to find community.
"[The meme page] gives people the opportunity to come together and laugh at issues about the school that all of us know about. … we don't have a sports team where you can go and cheer them on. We have raccoons instead," Shaikh joked. "[The meme page] is a nice place where people can come to have fun, to have a laugh."

Koodankulam: Protests all over India, activists being arrested in Tamil Nadu
Internationally recognized symbol. Deutsch: Gefahrensymbol für Radioaktivität. Image:Radioactive.svg (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
March24- Update
With no signs of dampening of people's morale in Idithakarai, the situation in Koodankulam is getting crucial. And the government has pitched up its intimidation in response.
On March 23, 2012, concerned citizens, anti-nuclear groups and civil society organisations all over India observed a national day of protest supporting the people in Tamil Nadu opposing the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP). 1-day hunger strike was organised in Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad and other places of the country. In Chennai, the Koodankulam Support Group's hunger strike entered 3rd day today. The National Alliance of People's Movement (NAPM) held a day long sit-in and hunger protest at Jantar Mantar near the Indian parliament in New Delhi.
At the grassroots, the indefinite fast of 15 people including Dr. S P Udayakumar, Pushparayan and others, entered 6th day today. The people observing hunger-strike also include Melret and 7 women. The health condition of fasting activists is on a constant decline, particularly the falling blood pressure of Pushparayan is a concern. The immediates demands of the hunger-strike in Idinthakarai are: release of 10 activists arrested on March 19th from Koodankulam, removal of the heavy police deployment in the area and adherence to AERB guidelines for commissioning of reactors that includes elaborate safety drills and other steps.
While the Additional Director-General of Police (Tamil Nadu) claimed that situation in Koodankulam is 'normal' and police has not obstructed mobility of people and goods, the people in the region are intimidated by heavy police presence and arbitrary arrests of activists, slapping serious charges of sedition and war on Indian state. Vanni Arasu was picked up on his way from Chennai to Madurai at midnight. Another anti-Koodankulam activist, Satish Kumar was picked up at Tirunelveli yesterday. Neither their location nor the charges under which they were arrested is known so far.

Q: Get text contained within a specific html element using php I need to get all of the text contained between a specific div. In the following example I want to get everything between the div with class name "st" :

This is a title

Some example text here.

Footer text

So the result would be
Some example text here.

or even just
Some example text here.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

A: Server-side in PHP
A very basic way would be something like this:
$data = ''; // your HTML data from the question
preg_match( '/
(.*?)<\/div>/', $data, $match );

Then iterate the $match object. However, this could return bad data if your .st DIV has another DIV inside it.
A more proper way would be:
function getData()
{
    $dom = new DOMDocument;
    $dom -> loadHTML( $data );
    $divs = $dom -> getElementsByTagName('div');

    foreach ( $divs as $div )
    {
        if ( $div -> hasAttribute('class') && strpos( $div -> getAttribute('class'), 'st' ) !== false )
        {
            return $div -> nodeValue;
        }
    }
}

Client-side
If you're using jQuery, it would be easy like this:
$('.st').text();

or
$('.st').html();

If you're using plain JavaScript, it would be a little complicated cause you'll have to check all DIV elements until you find the one with your desired CSS class:
function foo()
{
    var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div'), i;

    for (i in divs)
    {
        if (divs[i].className.indexOf('st') > -1)
        {
            return divs[i].innerHTML;
        }
    }
}

A: Use DOM.  Example:
$html_str = "
Some example text here.
";
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'iso-8859-1');

$dom->loadHTML($html_str); // just one method of loading html.
$dom->loadHTMLFile("some_url_to_html_file");

$divs = getElementsByClassName($dom,"st");

The below function is not mine, but this user's.  If you find this function useful, go to the previously linked answer and vote it up.
function getElementsByClassName(DOMDocument $domNode, $className) {
    $elements = $domNode->getElementsByTagName('*');
    $matches = array();
    foreach($elements as $element) {
        if (!$element->hasAttribute('class')) {
            continue;
        }
        $classes = preg_split('/\s+/', $element->getAttribute('class'));

    return $matches;
}

A: PHP is a server side language, to do this you should use a client side language like javascript (and possibly a library like jQuery for easy ad fast cross-browser coding). And then use javascript to send the data you need to the backend for processing (Ajax).
jQuery example:
var myText = jQuery(".st").text();

jQuery.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'myBackendUrl',
    myTextParam: myText,
    success: function(){
        alert('done!');
    },
});

Then, in php:
<?php
    $text = $_POST['myTextParam'];
    // do something with text

A: Using a XML parser:
$htmlDom = simple_load_string($htmlSource);
$results = $htmlDom->xpath("//div[@class='st']/text()");

while(list( , $node) = each($result)) {
    echo $node, "\n";
}

A: use jquery/ajax
then do something like:

Basically
$(".st").html()

will return the HTML
and
 $(".st").text()

Will return the text
Hope that helps

Fikes v. Warden Marion Correctional Insitution et al
Filing 3
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION that 2 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be DISMISSED as unexhausted and as barred by the one-year statute of limitations found in 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d). Objections to R&R due by 3/1/2017. Motion GRANTED - 1 MOTION for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. Signed by Magistrate Judge Terence P. Kemp on 2/15/2017. (agm)(This document has been sent by regular mail to the party(ies) listed in the NEF that did not receive electronic notification.)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO EASTERN DIVISION JAMES W. FIKES, JR. CASE NO. 2:16-CV-0832 Petitioner, JUDGE MICHAEL H. WATSON MAGISTRATE JUDGE KEMP v. WARDEN, MARION CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION, AND OHIO ADULT PAROLE AUTHORITY, Respondents. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION Petitioner, a state prisoner, has filed this petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2254. He has also moved for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, which motion (Doc. 1) is GRANTED. This matter is before the Court on its own motion to consider the sufficiency of the petition pursuant to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts. For the reasons that follow, the Magistrate Judge RECOMMENDS that this action be DISMISSED as unexhausted and as barred by the one-year statute of limitations found in 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d). I. Facts and Procedural History The facts of this case are taken from the Petition which is attached to the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The important facts are as follows. Petitioner was convicted in the Lorain County Court of Common Pleas in 2006 of the crime of escape and sentenced to three years in prison. He pleaded guilty to that charge. He asserts that the prison term expired on August 7, 2009, and that he was granted parole status (although never actually released from prison), but his parole status was subsequently revoked without the benefit of a parole hearing. He identifies November 2, 2010 as the date of the Parole Authority's action. He did eventually get a parole hearing, but not until March, 2011, at which time his case was continued for three more years. He does not say what happened at the next parole hearing, but he is still incarcerated, so he clearly was not granted parole at that time. The website of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction shows that he is currently serving a sentence of ten to fifty years for rape, imposed by the Court of Common Pleas of Huron County, Ohio, and that his next parole hearing will take place in 2019. Petitioner claims that after the expiration of his three-year escape sentence in 2009, the State of Ohio lost jurisdiction to continue his imprisonment. He asserts claims under the Due Process and Ex Post Facto clauses of the United States Constitution. He admits that he has never appealed the actions of the Parole Authority, but states that he has no remedy of appeal available. II. Statute of Limitations The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA), which became effective on April 24, 1996, imposes a one-year statute of limitations on the filing of habeas corpus petitions. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d) provides: (d) (1) A 1–year period of limitation shall apply to an application for a writ of habeas corpus by a person in custody pursuant to the judgment of a State court. The limitation period shall run from the latest of- 2 (A) the date on which the judgment became final by the conclusion of direct review or the expiration of the time for seeking such review; (B) the date on which the impediment to filing an application created by State action in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States is removed, if the applicant was prevented from filing by such State action; (C) the date on which the constitutional right asserted was initially recognized by the Supreme Court, if the right has been newly recognized by the Supreme Court and made retroactively applicable to cases on collateral review; or (D) the date on which the factual predicate of the claim or claims presented could have been discovered through the exercise of due diligence. (2) The time during which a properly filed application for State postconviction or other collateral review with respect to the pertinent judgment or claim is pending shall not be counted toward any period of limitation under this subsection. This Court has previously held, citing numerous decisions from both the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals and other District Courts, that the statute of limitations for a claim based on parole revocation accrues on the date that the revocation becomes final. See, e.g, Al'Shahid v. Warden, Pickaway Correctional Institution, 2016 WL 5942287, *2-3 (S.D. Ohio Oct. 13, 2016), adopted and affirmed 2016 WL 7045632 (S.D. Ohio Dec. 5, 2016). "A parole revocation becomes final when a hearing officer for the Ohio Adult Parole Authority determines that the defendant violated the conditions of his release and, therefore, the revocation sanction should be imposed." Klopp v. Wolfe, 8 Fed.Appx. 444, 446 (6th Cir. Apr. 30, 2001). According to Petitioner, that action occurred well more than a year prior to the 3 date he signed his habeas corpus petition, which was August 21, 2016. Consequently, his claim is barred by the one-year statute of limitations found in 28 U.S.C. §2244(d). Even if that were not so, there are substantial procedural barriers here as well. It is a statutory requirement that before a federal court can grant habeas corpus relief to a state prisoner who is being held under a judgment issued by a state court, that prisoner must have asked for relief from the state courts and been denied. See 28 U.S.C. §2254(b). That statute says that a petitioner cannot get federal habeas corpus relief unless he or she "has exhausted the remedies available in the courts of the State...." There is an exception available if the state has no corrective process to address the particular issue being raised. The reason that a petitioner must first seek relief from the state courts is so those courts have a chance to fix their own errors before a federal court steps in and does it for them. As the United States Supreme Court said in O'Sullivan v. Boerckel, 526 U.S. 838, 844 (1999), State courts, like federal courts, are obliged to enforce federal law. Comity [which is the respect a federal court owes to the state judicial system] thus dictates that when a prisoner alleges that his continued confinement for a state court conviction violates federal law, the state courts should have the first opportunity to review this claim and provide any necessary relief. Ohio courts will review the actions of the Parole Authority in the context of a petition for a writ of mandamus. See Wright v. Ghee, 74 Ohio St. 3d 465 (1996). This Court has required habeas petitioners to exhaust that remedy before filing for relief in federal court. See, e.g., McCardle v. Warden, London Corr. Inst., 2010 WL 3719241 (S.D. Ohio Sept. 15, 2010), adopted and affirmed 2010 WL 4384247 (S.D. Ohio Oct. 27, 2010). They also will 4 consider, in a state habeas corpus action, a claim that a prisoner is being held beyond the expiration of his sentence. See Johnson v. Robinson, 2016 WL 3216731 (Ross Co. App. June 8, 2016). Consequently, the petition filed in this case is also unexhausted, in addition to being time-barred. Finally, to the extent that any state mandamus action may no longer be available to Petitioner (and the Court expresses no opinion on this point), he would have procedurally defaulted his claims for purposes of federal habeas corpus relief. Consequently, there are multiple reasons why he is entitled to no relief here and why his petition must be dismissed. III. Recommended Disposition For the reasons set forth above, the Court RECOMMENDS that this action be DISMISSED as barred by the one-year statute of limitations found in 28 U.S.C. §2244(d) and as either unexhausted or procedurally defaulted. IV. Procedure on Objections If any party objects to this Report and Recommendation, that party may, within fourteen (14) days of the date of this report, file and serve on all parties written objections to those specific proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made, together with supporting authority for the objection(s). A judge of this Court shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made. Upon proper objections, a judge of this Court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made 5 herein, may receive further evidence or may recommit this matter to the magistrate judge with instructions. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The parties are specifically advised that failure to object to the Report and Recommendation will result in a waiver of the right to have the district judge review the Report and Recommendation de novo, and also operates as a waiver of the right to appeal the decision of the District Court adopting the Report and Recommendation. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir.1981). The parties are further advised that, if they intend to file an appeal of any adverse decision, they may submit arguments in any objections filed, regarding whether a certificate of appealability should issue. /s/ Terence P. Kemp United States Magistrate Judge 6

Stastny ready for stretch run after Olympics
March 2, 2010 Updated: Aug. 28, 2017 7:23 p.m.
DENVER (AP) -- Paul Stastny stood outside the Colorado Avalanche locker room wearing his Team USA jersey with his Olympic silver medal hanging around his neck.
It's nice jewelry, but the Avalanche center feels he should have sporting a gold medal instead of the players from Team Canada.
"I don't think we won the silver, I think we lost the gold. That's the way we look at it," Stastny said. "It's awesome, it's cool, but I'd love to have the gold. That's what we came in for, that was our main goal, it didn't happen but to get the silver is quite an accomplishment."
A day later the sting of Team USA's loss to Canada in the Olympic hockey final is still there. But Stastny has to put his patriotic feelings aside and shift his focus to getting the Avalanche back into the playoffs. It started Monday night against the Detroit Red Wings, who are in 10th place in the Western Conference and fighting for a playoff spot.
"I don't think it's going to be that tough (to refocus) because we are battling for a playoff spot and there's 21 games left in the season," Stastny said. "It sounds like a lot but it's the last quarter of the season where there's a lot of jostling and positioning."
Still, it will be hard to shake off the nail-biting 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadians that more than 27 million people watched on TV. It seemed to Stastny that many were in the stands rooting for the home country.
"It was ridiculous. It was awesome. The fans were jacked," Stastny said. "It was so loud in warmups. The fans were against you but that's what makes it so much fun. Everyone in the stadium and out of the stadium just wearing Canada jerseys."
The gold medal game lived up to its hype. Stastny said when the Zach Parise sent the game into overtime with 24.4 seconds left in regulation, the Americans believed they could win their first gold medal in hockey in 30 years. But Sidney Crosby's goal 7:40 into overtime gave Canada the gold.
"It's tough. It's hard to believe. We had momentum especially scoring late in the third, going into overtime we had nothing to lose and we just went for it," Stastny said. "A quick play there by (Jarome) Iginla, a quick shot there went in. That's why he's one of the best players in the world. It's tough to take.
Stastny said he had never experienced so much intensity in a hockey game before.
"Playing in Canada was tough. I think everyone was pretty beat up," he said. "The speed was something I've never been a part of. It's like that first shift of a playoff game, everyone's going 120 percent but it was like that the whole game. The intensity of the game was pretty high and so much quality it made it tough to play."
Now a little more than 24 hours later the American and Canadian players have to turn their attention to the NHL playoff race. Stastny's team is tied for first in the Northwest Division but is just eight points ahead of ninth-place Dallas, so there's no time to relax with 21 games to go in the season.
"All those games mean so much all those points mean something," Stastny said. "It's so early to say every game's going to be like a playoff game but that's what it's going to be like."

This one union is the latest troublespot in the trade union fraternity.
The situation is tense as heavy artillery has been called in to lend support to the two opposing sides threatening to split the union right down the middle.
Union money of up to several thousands of dollars, a post and the constitution are contentious issues in the mix.
There is a suggestion that mediation is the way to go.
But one group is not having a bar of it and pushing for a date with the court.
Fair go for workers
Unions cannot complain that their members are not being given a fair go.
Take for example this civil servant who was suspended without pay on August 25, 2015.
The administrative officer was accused of insubordination, failure to act with care and diligence and failure to declare and take steps to avoid conflict of interest.
The civil servant contended that it had taken longer than the stipulated three months for the ministry to decide. In fact, nothing had been decided when Employment Relations Tribunal ruled that she be compensated for the 11 months she was suspended.
She has now received her pay for that period but waiting to hear whether her services will be needed.
WAF initiative launch
The Water Authority of Fiji will officially launch the Rain Water Harvesting and Free Water Tank Schemes today.
The event will take place at the Tobuniqio village in Tailevu, at 3pm.
The Fijian Government has allocated $1.3million for the Free Water Tank Scheme and $4.5million for the Rain Water Harvesting scheme.
WAF is working closely with Government to distribute 5000litre water tanks to the already successful applicants under the Free Water Tank Scheme, with a total of 325 villages entitled to apply.
Under the Rain Water Harvesting scheme, Fijians facing water problems in both rural and urban intermittent supply areas are also eligible to apply for free water tanks, with a total of 2658 applications having been received so far.
Kudos to those involved in these important Government initiatives, implemented by WAF, to ensure that all Fijians have access to clean water and sanitation for a better life.

A materials handling vehicle is provided comprising a frame comprising an operator's compartment, wheels supported on the frame, at least one of the wheels being a steerable wheel, and a steer-by-wire system associated with the steerable wheel to effect angular movement of the steerable wheel. The vehicle further comprises a control apparatus.
The present invention relates to a materials handling vehicle having a steer system including a tactile feedback device.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, a materials handling vehicle is provided comprising: a frame comprising an operator's compartment and a sensor capable of generating a signal indicative of an operator entering the operator's compartment; wheels supported on the frame; a traction motor coupled to one of the wheels to effect rotation of the one wheel; and a steer-by-wire system associated with a steerable wheel to effect angular movement of the steerable wheel about a first axis. The steer-by-wire system comprises: a control handle capable of being moved by an operator to define a steer control signal corresponding to a desired angular position of the steerable wheel; a tactile feedback device associated with the control handle to generate a counter force on the control handle which varies based on a variable tactile feedback device signal; and a steer motor coupled to the steerable wheel to effect angular movement of the steerable wheel about the first axis. The vehicle may further comprise a control apparatus coupled to the sensor to receive the signal from the sensor indicative of an operator entering the operator's compartment, coupled to the control handle to receive the steer control signal, coupled to the steer motor to generate a first drive signal to the steer motor in response to the steer control signal from the control handle to effect angular movement of the steerable wheel about the first axis, coupled to the traction motor to generate a second drive signal to the traction motor, and coupled to the tactile feedback device to generate the tactile feedback device signal. The control apparatus may increase the tactile feedback device signal in response to an operator entering the operator's compartment to inhibit an operator from making a quick turn request via the control handle.
The control apparatus may vary the first drive signal to the steer motor so as to gradually increase a rate at which the steer motor operates after the operator enters the operator's compartment.
The control apparatus may increase the tactile feedback device signal for a predefined period of time in response to the operator entering the operator's compartment.
The steerable wheel is capable of being moved to an angular position within a first angular range when an operator is located within the operator's compartment and is capable of being moved to an angular position within a second angular range which is less than the first angular range when an operator is located outside of the operator's compartment.
In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, a materials handling vehicle is provided comprising: a frame comprising an operator's compartment; wheels supported on the frame; a traction motor coupled to one of the wheels to effect rotation of the one wheel; and a steer-by-wire system associated with a steerable wheel to effect angular movement of the steerable wheel about a first axis. The steer-by-wire system comprises a control handle capable of being moved by an operator and a steer motor coupled to the steerable wheel to effect angular movement of the steerable wheel about the first axis. The vehicle may further comprise control apparatus coupled to the steer motor to generate a first drive signal to the steer motor to effect angular movement of the steerable wheel about the first axis and coupled to the traction motor to generate a second drive signal to the traction motor to control its speed. The control apparatus may vary the first drive signal to the steer motor as a function of the speed of the traction motor so as to vary a speed limit of the steer motor.
The control apparatus may vary the first drive signal to the steer motor beyond a predefined traction motor speed so as to reduce the speed limit of the steer motor as the speed of the traction motor increases.
The vehicle may further comprise forks. The control apparatus may reduce a value of the first drive signal to the steer motor when the vehicle is driven in a forks first direction.
In accordance with a third aspect of the present invention, a materials handling vehicle is provided comprising a frame comprising an operator's compartment and a sensor capable of generating a signal indicative of an operator leaving the operator's compartment, wheels supported on the frame, at least one of the wheels being a steerable wheel, and a steer-by-wire system associated with the steerable wheel to effect angular movement of the steerable wheel about a first axis. The steer-by-wire system comprises: a control handle capable of being moved by an operator to generate a steer control signal corresponding to a desired angular position of the steerable wheel; biasing structure associated with the control handle to bias the control handle towards a centered position corresponding to the steerable wheel being positioned in a straight-ahead position; a tactile feedback device associated with the control handle to generate a force counter to an operator applied force on the control handle which counter force varies based on a variable tactile feedback device signal; and a steer motor coupled to the steerable wheel to effect angular movement of the steerable wheel about the first axis. The vehicle further comprises a control apparatus coupled to the sensor to receive the signal from the sensor indicative of an operator leaving the operator's compartment, coupled to the control handle to receive the steer control signal, coupled to the steer motor to generate a first drive signal to the steer motor in response to the steer control signal from the control handle to effect angular movement of the steerable wheel about the first axis, and coupled to the tactile feedback device to generate the tactile feedback device signal. The steerable wheel is capable of being moved to an angular position within a first angular range when an operator is located within the operator's compartment and is capable of being moved to an angular position within a second angular range which is less than the first angular range when an operator is located outside of the operator's compartment.
The vehicle may further comprise a traction motor coupled to the steerable wheel to effect rotation of the steerable wheel about a second axis substantially transverse to the first axis. The control apparatus may be coupled to the traction motor and limit a speed of the traction motor as a function of a desired angular position of the steerable wheel.
The control apparatus may vary the tactile feedback device signal as a function of the speed of the traction motor.
The control apparatus may further vary the tactile feedback device signal as a function of an error between a desired position of the steerable wheel defined by the steer control signal and a determined actual position of the steerable wheel.
The control apparatus may vary the first drive signal to the steer motor as a function of the speed of the traction motor so as to vary a speed limit of the steer motor.
The tactile feedback device may comprise an electrically controlled brake generating a force that varies based on a magnitude of the tactile feedback device signal. For example, the electrically controlled brake comprises one of an electrorheological device, a magnetorheological device, and an electromagnetic device.
Typically, an operator does not request that the control handle 90 be turned to an angular position greater than about +/−45 degrees from the centered position when the vehicle 10 is operating in the walkie mode. If a request is made to rotate the control handle 90 to an angular position greater than about +/−45 degrees and the vehicle 10 is being operated in the walkie mode, the display module 230 will command the traction control module 210 to cause the vehicle 10 to brake to a stop. If the display module 230 has caused the vehicle 10 to brake to a stop, the display module 230 will allow the traction motor 72 to rotate again to effect movement of the driven steerable wheel 74 after the control handle 90 has been moved to a position within a predefined range such as +/−40 degrees and the first and second speed control elements 96A and 96B have been returned to their neutral/home positions.
said control apparatus increasing said tactile feedback device signal in response to an operator entering said operator's compartment to inhibit an operator from making a quick turn request via said control handle.
2. A materials handling vehicle as set out in claim 1, wherein said control apparatus varies said first drive signal to said steer motor so as to gradually increase a rate at which said steer motor operates after the operator enters said operator's compartment.
3. A materials handling vehicle as set out in claim 1, wherein said control apparatus increases said tactile feedback device signal for a predefined period of time in response to the operator entering said operator's compartment.
4. A materials handling vehicle as set out in claim 1, wherein said steerable wheel is capable of being moved to an angular position within a first angular range when an operator is located within said operator's compartment and is capable of being moved to an angular position within a second angular range which is less than said first angular range when an operator is located outside of said operator's compartment.
5. A materials handling vehicle as set out in claim 1, wherein said one wheel and said steerable wheel comprise the same wheel.
said control apparatus varying said first drive signal to said steer motor as a function of the speed of said traction motor so as to vary a speed limit of said steer motor.
7. The materials handling vehicle as set out in claim 6, wherein said control apparatus varies said first drive signal to said steer motor beyond a predefined traction motor speed so as to reduce the speed limit of said steer motor as said speed of said traction motor increases.

Analysis: Israelis not ready for two-state solution
Israelis are 'in love' with the idea of a peace deal but unwilling to make compromises

Despite 20 years of the most relentless political violence since Israeli independence in 1948, proponents of the two-state solution still believe it's the best way to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and that a majority of people on both sides support it.
This resilient optimism seems admirably, if bewilderingly, out of pace with the deepening conservatism of the Israeli governments elected over the same period. But in reality, while many Israelis say they support a peace accord, they are far less comfortable with the specific terms of any agreement and more pessimistic the closer a settlement appears to be.
In a poll released last month by the Israel Democracy Institute and Tel Aviv University, just as Israeli and Palestinian negotiators were poised to meet for the first direct talks since 2010, 55.7 percent of Israelis said they favored negotiations. The talks are the latest attempt to complete a peace process set in motion by the Oslo Accords, which turn 20 years old this month.
But in the same poll, 55.5 percent of Israelis said they would oppose withdrawal to the borders that were recognized before the 1967 war, even if only some remote settlements were evacuated and if the larger settlements along the border were retained in exchange for other, similarly sized tracts of land offered to Palestinians. Approximately 51 percent said they opposed the evacuation of settlements, even if the largest settlement blocs were to remain in Israeli hands. In addition, 66 percent opposed even a symbolic recognition of the Palestinian right of return, with only a small number of refugees allowed to physically to return to their homes in Israel proper.

Ze'ev, a 27-year-old who sells drinks and snacks at a kiosk in Tel Aviv, says he supports the two-state solution. "We need quiet, and we need to achieve equality," he said. "We can't treat the guys sitting on other side with contempt and them having contempt for us."
But when asked about evacuating settlements — a key condition for creating two separate nation states for Israelis and Palestinians — he becomes less certain. "It's very difficult for me to decide on that, because I don't live there, in the settlements," he said. "And unless you put yourself in their shoes, you can't really decide for certain."
'Paradox' of public opinion
"This is the regular paradox of the Israeli public opinion," said Tamar Hermann, a senior fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute and director of the Peace Index project, a monthly survey of Israeli public opinion. "They're in love with the concept, but once we get down to detail, support sharply drops."
Still, she believes that if Israelis were presented with a clear and comprehensive agreement, then that ambivalence might decrease. "If the decision makers — especially people like [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu who are not perceived as peaceniks — say that this deal, and especially the security aspects of the deal, are OK, then we might well see some support," she said.

But far from taking responsibility and presenting the Israeli electorate with a clear choice, Netanyahu's government seems to be deferring to voters in the most direct way: by making withdrawal from any territory under Israeli control subject to a referendum. Netanyahu's second most important coalition partner, nationalist religious leader Naftali Bennett, who initiated the referendum law and rammed it through the legislature early last month, said a referendum was meant to ensure that any agreement had the blessing of the majority of Israelis.
"I'd like to ask this of the opponents of the referendum: If you say the people are with you, what are you afraid of?" he said to fellow Knesset members during the vote on the referendum law. "Why not let the people decide?"
One referendum opponent is Zehava Galon, leader of Meretz, the leftist Zionist party. "I don't think we should be shifting responsibility onto the people," she says. "There were elections just a short while ago. If you endow the government with the responsibility to make decisions, including difficult diplomatic ones, there is no justification to once again seek the confirmation of the people."
But although there is some disenchantment with Netanyahu's coalition, and opposition parties like Meretz have been gaining support in the polls, the prospect of Israelis approving a two-state solution in a popular vote is relatively bleak. In the Israel Democracy Institute survey, 54 percent of respondents said they didn't think a proposal to create two states would pass a referendum.
Fear, fire and blood
Even Israeli enthusiasm for negotiations as an idea appears to diminish as the time for talks draws nearer. Particularly since the collapse of the peace process in the Second Intifada, which began in 2000, Israelis have tended to be more positive about talks when prospects for negotiations seem the most remote.
"Those who oppose the two-states solution usually also make the argument (that) it's not going to happen anyway," says Hermann. "Those who support it are not consistently sure if it can still happen. They might feel differently about it — opponents of the two states are probably quite happy to say it's not going to happen — but overall, most people in Israel think the chances for a two-states solution are very small."
Of course, there are many reasons for Israelis to be skeptical about the two-state process. In fact, nearly every event of the last two decades, since Oslo, has served to erode support for it. The catastrophic mishandling of the peace talks in the 1990s — with their failure to bring the majority of Palestinian armed factions to the table or, indeed, give them any reason to even grudgingly support negotiations — resulted in a devastating wave of political violence that overwhelmingly targeted Israeli civilians and made the very words "peace process" synonymous with fear, fire and blood. This political violence was often directed at the poorest Israelis — those who would use public transport and shop in outdoor markets — thus further cementing nationalist sentiments among groups already alienated by the Left, such as the ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) and new immigrants (most prominently, those from the former Soviet Union).
The outbreak of the Second Intifada — the Palestinians' reaction to even greater hardship visited upon them by the peace talks — strengthened the belief among Israelis that Palestinians weren't actually committed to peace. But the halt to violence in 2006, after the decimation of most Palestinian armed resistance and the shift to nonviolence by many Palestinian activists, seems to have only served to convince Israelis they can obtain security and peace of mind without giving an inch.
The only front that still remains volatile is Gaza. But Israel's disengagement from the Gaza Strip, followed by the split between Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas, helped reframe Gaza in the minds of Israelis as almost a separate conflict. That helps to explain why few people in Israel notice the conspicuous absence of Hamas from the negotiating table or questions about Gaza from the discussions.
Still, referendums and public opinion are not the enemies of peace talks and reconciliation. Progress toward resolving violent ethnic nationalist conflicts, such as Northern Ireland, has hinged on consensus-building and public opinion. But they need to be won, and the public needs to be ready.
To judge from the Israel Democracy Institute polling, Israelis are far from ready. They've been burned badly by peace talks in the past — though nowhere near as badly as Palestinians — and so far have lost little by maintaining the status quo of occupation. While recent history suggests that a return to political violence would reinforce rather than weaken the occupation, it also suggests that Israelis are unlikely to take the risks involved in a viable peace agreement unless the status quo becomes less convenient for them.

Francoise Persillon Wall Art
Françoise Persillon (Born 1951) was born in Bordeaux. One day while on her way to school, she stopped in front of a window of a bookstore where a reproduction of art by Van Gogh titled " Sunflowers " was on display and she stood there captured by it beauty (Van Gogh was a painter of the 19th century). While standing there, she immediately understood that the career of painting would be her own, though by then, it was still unknown to her. As a child, she attended museums, art shows and practiced drawing and painting from observation. Françoise was influenced by the Parisian School, the Impressionists and the classics; and she decided to perfect her skills by attending the National School of Fine Arts in Paris. The artist finds inspiration from her long bike rides, and from the rare moments when she daydreams and drinks her tea in front of her window.
Over time, Françoise's work has evolved gradually and naturally to more rigor and excitement. She also designs lithographs and creates posters for publishers, for which she uses a different technique form the usual technique. Her artistic soul is fed by her observations which also invade her mind and her home. She fills her sketchpad with sketches of still lifes, landscapes and trees. She's in a constant state of awareness and anything may catch her attention, including the most trivial things – a clear proof that she's very keen to detail. Through strong but simple compositions, the artist seeks to share emotion and communicate through delicate sensations of color which oil allows her.

For some time now the government has been promising an online 'pensions dashboard' that will let savers view and manage all their pension arrangements in one place. Meanwhile, private pension providers are competing to deliver a similar service to cover their own products. So who'll win the battle of the dashboards – and what's the prize for consumers?
With Amber Rudd recently installed as the latest Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, many people are looking to see if this will herald a new impetus to get the pensions dashboard in place.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is now driving the development of the government's pensions dashboard, having taken over from the Treasury.

Q: My clues in my game are off (java) My brother offered me a challege to help my studies by making a game that only runs in the main method instead of using other classes to make sure I still remember my old stuff. Bases off that I went with a cat and mouse game where the player is the mouse looking for the cheese while avoiding all the cats. When you enter an empty "room" (cell) the game is supposed to give you a clue at how far you are from the cheese. Now the game runs but my clues just keep going higher and higher to the point where it over the amount of rooms in the maze. I am stumpped on where the problem is.

A: You aren't resetting clue to zero in the big do-while loop
So it's seems logical to me that the clues can't do anything but go higher, because it keep adding the new count to itself (clue = clue + clueCount)

A: You never reinitialize your clue variable to 0 in your do/while loop. So, everytime you run through the loop, instead of setting clue to the current clue value, you keep adding to it (clue = clue + clueCount).

Q: Как сделать hover effect с иконкой поверх картинки? Мне необходимо с помощью css и его :hover наложить градиент и icon поверх картинки.
Выглядеть это должно примерно вот так, у меня же получается это только вот так:

.test {
  display: block;
  height: 200px;
  background: url(http://krolik74.kpeatop.com/hosting.png) no-repeat;
  width: 588px;
}

.test:hover {
  background: linear-gradient(270deg, rgba(0, 188, 240, 0.7) 0%, rgba(5, 42, 64, 0.7) 100%), url(http://krolik74.kpeatop.com/hosting.png) no-repeat;
}

Подскажите как сделать пожалуйста. И еще возможно есть картинки вставлять через html, а не через css?

A: Вот так:

.test {
  display: block;
  height: 200px;
  background: url(http://krolik74.kpeatop.com/hosting.png) no-repeat;
  width: 400px;
  position: relative;
}

.testHover {
  opacity: 0;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 32px;
  transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
  background: linear-gradient(270deg, rgba(0, 188, 240, 0.7) 0%, rgba(5, 42, 64, 0.7) 100%), url(http://krolik74.kpeatop.com/hosting.png) no-repeat;
}
.test:hover .testHover {
  opacity: 1;
}
<link href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.0.13/css/all.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

P.S для иконки я использовал font-awesome вот линк на него:

Ccылка

A: Благодаря Zicrael (спасибо тебе) доработал так, как хотел. Чтобы картинки находились в html, а не css.

.container {
    position: relative;
    width: 600px;
}

.image {
  opacity: 1;
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  height: auto;
  transition: .5s ease;
  backface-visibility: hidden;

}

.middle {
  transition: .5s ease;
  opacity: 0;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  -ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  text-align: center;
}

.container:hover .image {
  /*opacity: 0.5; */

}

.container:hover .middle {
  opacity: 1;
}

.text {
  font-size: 16px;
  width: 600px;
  height: 208px;
  background: linear-gradient(270deg, rgba(0, 188, 240, 0.7) 0%, rgba(5, 42, 64, 0.7) 100%) no-repeat;
}

.union {
    background: url(http://ipic.su/img/img7/fs/Union.1526023689.png) center no-repeat;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
