This Jim Steinmeyer illusion consists of six large puzzle pieces which just fit into a 24-inch square frame. The frame is not very deep. The puzzle pieces are placed into the frame, and rearranged several times to make different pictures. Finally, when all pieces are removed, a lady makes her appearance. Other variations include placing the lady into the frame and then adding the six puzzle pieces. They are rearranged, at one point even with the front door of the frame open. There is apparently no place for the lady to hide. Finally, after the third rearrangement of pieces, they are removed and the lady reappears. For trade shows, the three puzzle pictures can show the client's product or message.

WEEKLY WIC POLICY UPDATE
The House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY), Chair, Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY), Ranking, completed its markup of the FY 2016 Agriculture Appropriations bill last Wednesday, July 8. The draft bill was ordered to be reported favorably by a voice vote.
The full Appropriations Committee did not make any changes to the bill as marked up by the Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food & Drug Administration and Related Agencies, Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-AL), Chair, Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA), Ranking. The spending bill funds WIC at $6.484 billion, including $60 million for breastfeeding peer counselors, $55 million for management information systems (MIS), including WIC EBT systems and activities, and $14 million for WIC infrastructure. The Committee did not provide monies for the contingency fund.
The Committee's funding level is $139 million below the FY2015 WIC funding level in recognition of WIC's declining caseload, from a high of roughly 9 million participants in 2012 to just under 8 million as recently as March 2015. It is $200 million below NWA's request which in addition to providing monies for a somewhat higher projected caseload, also included $30 million more for breastfeeding peer counselors, $25 million more for MIS/EBT, $5 million for rigorous health outcomes research, and an additional $6 million for cash value voucher (CVV) for fully breastfeeding women, bumping their CVV from $10 to $12.
There is also language in the bill stating that once a vender moratorium is lifted, states have the ability to request a waiver from the Secretary that would waive the requirement to conduct an on-site preauthorization prior to or at the time of a vendor's initial authorization.
The Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies, Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), Chair, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Ranking, is expected to markup its Appropriations bill soon.

Thousands trapped on Australia beach as devastating wildfires close in
admin / December 31, 2019 / Australia, Endtimes Signs and Wonder
Some take to sea as others prepare possible air or water evacuations from massive blazes ripping through country's southeast coast.
SYDNEY, Australia (AFP) — Thousands of holidaymakers and locals were forced to flee to beaches in fire-ravaged southeast Australia Tuesday, as blazes ripped through popular tourist areas leaving no escape by land.
Four thousand people were trapped on the foreshore of the town of Mallacoota and many others sought refuge on beaches in fire-encircled seaside towns up and down a 200-kilometer (135-mile) strip of coast.
Some residents with boats even took to the sea, hoping for refuge from one the worst days yet in Australia's months-long bushfire crisis.
Dozens of properties were feared to have been destroyed since late Monday and at least seven people were unaccounted for in New South Wales and Victoria states as flames reached well-populated towns like Batemans Bay.
In some places the blazes were so intense, the smoke so thick and the fire-provoked dry lightning storms so severe that aerial reconnaissance and waterbombing had to be halted, the New South Wales Rural Fire Service said.
In Mallacoota, smoke turned day to night and the authorities said nearby fires were causing extreme thunderstorms and "ember attacks."
"We've got a fire that looks like it's about to impact on Mallacoota," Victoria's Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp told public broadcaster ABC, adding that firefighters had been deployed to protect the group.
Authorities had for days been warning tens of thousands of tourists enjoying Australia's summer holidays to leave the area but for thousands it was now too late to leave.
"We've got three strike teams in Mallacoota that will be looking after 4,000 people down on the beach there," Crisp said. "We're naturally very concerned about communities that have become isolated."
Preparations were reportedly under way for an evacuation by sea or air if needed.
On social media, residents said they fled on boat or were putting on life jackets in case they need to seek refuge from the fire in the water.
'Last resort'
Temperatures in bushfire areas can hit hundreds of degrees Celsius (Fahrenheit) killing anyone nearby long before the flames reach them.
Fleeing into the ocean is a "last resort option" according to Victoria's emergency management agency.
Local radio journalist Francesca Winterson said she was watching the fire approach the town and her own home while she tried to broadcast emergency warnings amid a powercut.
"I'd rather be alive than have a house," she told ABC Gippsland.

Australia's unprecedented bushfires have been burning for months, but the latest in a series of heatwaves and high winds have wrought new devastation.
The crisis has hit cities like Sydney and Melbourne, home to several million people.
On Monday, around 100,000 people were urged to flee five Melbourne suburbs as the spiraling bushfire crisis killed a volunteer firefighter battling a separate blaze in the countryside.
Authorities in the country's second-biggest city downgraded an earlier bushfire emergency warning but said residents should steer clear of the blaze, which has burned through 40 hectares (nearly 100 acres) of grassland.
Local media showed images of water bombers flying over neighborhoods, and families hosing down their homes in the hope of halting the fire's spread.
A volunteer firefighter died in New South Wales state and two others suffered burns while working on a blaze more than five hours southwest of Sydney, the Rural Fire Service said.
"It's believed that the truck rolled when hit by extreme winds," the agency said, adding that the man left behind a pregnant wife.
Ten others, including two volunteer firefighters, have been killed so far this fire season.
The blazes have destroyed more than 1,000 homes and scorched more than three million hectares (7.4 million acres) — an area bigger than Belgium.

The mercury reached 47 degrees Celsius (117 Fahrenheit) in Western Australia and topped 40 degrees in every region — including the usually temperate island of Tasmania.
The crisis has focused attention on climate change — which scientists say is creating a longer and more intense bushfire season — and sparked street protests calling for immediate action to tackle global warming.
While conservative Prime Minister Scott Morrison belatedly acknowledged a link between the fires and climate change, he has continued his staunch support of Australia's lucrative coal mining industry and ruled out further action to reduce emissions.
Sydney was again shrouded in toxic bushfire haze Tuesday. City officials said Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks would go ahead, but a similar event has been cancelled in Canberra and several regional towns.

John "Mitch" Mitchell (Ealing, Middlesex, Velika Britanija, 9. srpnja 1947. – Portland, Oregon, SAD, 12. studenog 2008.), britanski je glazbenik najpoznatiji po svom djelovanju u sastavu The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Mitchell je 1969. godine nastupio zajedno s Hendrixom na legendarnom Woodstock Music & Art Fairu, a iste godine zajedno s Billyjem Coxom, Juma Sultanom, Jerryem Velezom osnivaju sastav pod nazivom Gypsy Sun & Rainbows featuring Jimi Hendrix. Mitchell je također svirao bubnjeve na brojnim Hendrixovim uspješnicama, a neke od njih su "Fire", "Manic Depression", "Third stone from the Sun" i druge.

Jedan je od najzaslužnijih za razvoj "fusion" bubnjarskog stila, koji koristi elemente rocka i jazza. Glazbeni uzori bili su mu američki jazz bubnjari Elvin Jones i Max Roach.

Životopis
John Mitchell rodio se 9. srpnja 1947. godine u Ealingu, zapadnom predgrađu Londona. Prije nego što je počeo nastupati s Experiencima, Mitchell je stekao značajno glazbeno iskustvo svirajući kao session glazbenik. Dok je bio tinejdžer nastupao je u dječjem programu Jennings and Derbyshire u drugom planu kao glumac. Svirao je sa sastavima kao što su Frankie Reid and the Casuals, Johnny Harris and the Shades, The Pretty Things, Bill Knight & The Sceptres, The Riot Squad, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames te kao session bubnjar sastava The Who dok ga nije zamijenio Doug Sandom (sastav se kasnije konačno odlučio za Keitha Moona). Mitchell je također radio s kreatorom pojačala Marshall, Jimom Marshallom u glazbenoj prodavaonici u Londonu.

Sastav The Jimi Hendrix Experience nastaje 1966. godine kada je Jimi Hendrix došao u Veliku Britaniju. U mjesecu rujnu iste godine Hendrix i njegov menadžer Chas Chandler organizirali su audiciju za prateće glazbenike. Među brojnim glazbenicima za bas-gitaristu odabrali su Noela Reddinga, a za bubnjara Mitcha Mitchella. Do mjeseca travanja 1969. godine kada je Hendrix raspustio sastav, snimili su pet singlova i tri studijska albuma. Mitchell je ostavio veliki glazbeni doprinos u tom periodu, gdje je zajedno s Hendrixom snimio neke od najvećih njihovih uspješnica poput "Manic Depression", "Stepping Stone", "Little Miss Strange", "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", "Fire" i "Third Stone from the Sun". Svoj doprinos imao je također i u jazz glazbi, a veliku glazbeni inspiraciju dobivao je od Elvina Jonesa, Maxa Roacha i Joea Morelloa.

U prosincu 1968. godine Mitchell svira u sastavu The Dirty Mac okupljen za potrebe filma The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. Ostali članovi sastav bili su John Lennon kao pjevač i ritam gitarista ("Winston Leg-Thigh"), Yoko Ono (glasovni efekti, "Whole Lotta Yoko"), Eric Clapton kao gitarist i Keith Richards kao basist. Sastav objavljuje cover "Yer Blues" pod nazivom "Whole Lotta Yoko".

Zajedno s Hendrixom i Billyjem Coxom pod nazivom Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, 1969. godine nastupa na Woodstocku, gdje pred 400.000 ljudi sviraju američku himnu ("Star Splanged Banner"). Nakon Woodstocka nastupaju još nekoliko puta i snimaju par studijskih snimaka te se nakon toga ubrzo razilaze. Hendrix zajedno s Billyjem Coxom i bubnjarom Buddyjem Milesom osniva novi sastav pod nazivom The Band of Gypsys. Sviraju na novogodišnjem koncertu u njujorškom Fillmore Eastu i snimaju jedan službeni uživo album (Band of Gypsys, 1970.). Posljednje pojavljivanje sastava Band of Gypsys bilo je u siječnju 1970. godine na koncertu Medison Square Gardenu, kada su se održavali masovni prosvjedi protiv rata u Vijetnamu. Hendrix, vjerojatno pod utjecajem LSD-a na polovici druge pjesme prestaje svirati i prije nego ode s pozornice publici se obrati riječima; "Ovo se dogodi kad se Zemlja sukobi sa svemirom - nikad se ne zaboravlja". Nakon toga Chas Chandler otpušta Coxa i Milesa te dovodi Mitchella i Reddinga iz Engleske i ponovo okuplja stari Experience. Hendrix ubrzo otpušta Reddinga i na njegovo mjesto vraća Coxa. U ovoj postavi djeluju sve do Hendrixove smrti, 18. rujna 1970. godine.

Nakon što je Hendrix osnovao sastav Band of Gypsys, Mitchell ima značajan doprinos s bivšim basistom sastava Cream, Jackom Bruceom. Zajedno s njima nastupali su još i Mike Mandel na klavijaturama i jazz gitarist sastava The Eleventh House, Larry Coryell.

Nakon Hendrixa
Nakon Hendrixove smrti Mitchell je s producentom Eddie Kramerom počeo raditi na nedovršenim snimkama. Mitchell i Cox imali su veliki doprinos u objavljivanju prvog Hendrixovog postumnog albuma The Cry of Love, izdanog 1971. godine. Zajedno s Mikeom Pineraom na gitari (iz sastava Iron Butterfly) i Aprilom Lawtonom, 1972. godine osniva rock sastav Ramatam s kojim objavljuje istoimeni album. Nekoliko puta nastupaju kao predizvođači britanskom rock sastavu Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Ramatam nije postigao komercijalni uspjeh i Mitchell pred objavljivanje njihovog drugog LP-a napušta sastav. Nastupa na nekoliko koncerata s Terryem Reidom, Jackom Bruceom i Jeff Beckom kao zamjena za bubnjara Cozya Powella (zbog bolesti).

Do početka 1990-ih Mitchell nastavlja s izvedbama te povremenim odlascima u studio gdje pretežno svira kao session glazbenik (jedan od njih je album Long Walk Back američkog country glazbenika Juniora Brownsa). Sudjeluje u raznim emisijama posvećenim preminulom Jimiju Hendrixu, snima nekoliko video uradaka i daje intervjue.

Godine 1999. Mitchell se pojavljuje na albumu Midnight Daydream rock gitariste Brucea Camerona, zajedno s Billyem Coxom, Buddyem Milesom i Jackom Bruceom. Kako bi zadovoljio potrebe brojnih Hendrixovih obožavatelja sudjeluje u seriji uživo nastupa s njegovim svjetski poznatim imitator Randyem Hansenom. Zajedno s Coxom i gitaristom Garyem Serkinom u novije vrijeme nastupao je kao sastav pod nazivom Gypsy Sun Experience.

Godine 2005. časopis Rolling Stone stavlja ga na 23. mjesto popisa najboljih bubnjara svih vremena.

Smrt
Mitch Mitchell umro je 12. studenog 2008. godine prirodnom smrću u snu u svojoj hotelskoj sobi u Portlandu. Mitchell je bio posljednji živi član Experienca. Hendrix je umro 1970. godine i Londonu u 27. godini života, a basista Noel Redding 2003. u 57. godini od posljedica ciroze jetre. Portland je mjesto u kojemu je Mitchell tjedan dana prije smrti nastupio u okviru turneje Experience Hendrix, posvećene uspomeni na Hendrixa. Nakon raspada Experienca, svirao je s nekim od najuglednijih svjetskih glazbenika poput Erica Claptona, Johna Lennona, Keitha Richardsa, Jeffa Becka, Muddya Watersa i drugih.

The Louisville Cardinals won their first ACC series of the season. They defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels, 6-4, in the second game of the series.
Shay Smiddy received the nod from Dan McDonnell to start, and performed well. He went five innings, and gave up three hits, two runs, one earned, and reduced his ERA to 0.61. It was his second win of the season.
The Cards were down by two early. Smiddy gave up his two runs in the top of the third. It was on a single through the left side, scoring one runner. A second scored on the same play, after an error by left-fielder Danny Oriente.
In the bottom of the inning, the Cards struck back. Devin Mann hit a double deep to the gap in left-center, and scored three runs. The ball was so deep, it would have been a home run if the temperature was higher than 70 degrees. But, the Louisville Cardinals had the 3-2 lead heading into the fourth.
Louisville extended the lead in the next inning. Right-fielder Ethan Stringer hit a single to left that scored third-baseman Justin Lavey from second. It was Stringer's ninth season RBI. Then, Designated Hitter Jake Snider belted an RBI double to the corner that scored two. After four, Louisville led 6-2.
North Carolina got one back in the sixth. Catcher Brandon Martorano hit an RBI double to left-center. Then, in the eighth, Ben Casparius looped a grounder into center, and drove across a run.
Preseason stopper of the year and All-American Sam Bordner came on in the ninth to close out the game, and earn his sixth save of the year.
Louisville moves to 14-0. They look for the sweep tomorrow at noon. The game will be at Patterson Stadium.

Android: How To Tell Your Jelly Bean From Your Gingerbread, Etc Etc
Last updated by rob.schifreen on 25. November 2020 - 12:04
While Apple's iOS operating system on the iPhone and the iPad continues to be a huge success, it's easy to forget that Google's Android OS is actually shipping many more copies. Google recently reported that it was receiving 1.5 million new Android device activations per day.
Understanding which version of Android you have, and what it can/can't do when compared with other versions, can be tricky to understand. Thankfully, there's a really helpful chart (I hate the word "infographic") at http://www.kinvey.com/blog/2586/android-version-history-a-visual-timeline which tells you all you need to know, right from version 1.0 to Key Lime Pie.
So now you can dig out your Andoird phone or tablet, check the system version number, and find out whether it's worth upgrading or not.

This guide is intended as a checklist used to configure Veripress to softproof publications defined by planning files and loaded using a press console. It is not a tutorial and assumes a general working knowledge of Veripress functions and applications.
Press Agent and Bookfilter are both used in this type of setup. As such, there are several areas of Veripress that need to be configured for it to function correctly. Once configured, it is unlikely any further adjustments will be required during day-to-day production.
For the purposes of this example, platesetter TIFF files are submitted for softproofing, IFRA Track planning files are used to define the pages for each publication, and the press console is using the Prime Softproof standard.
As the Veripress applications used are interdependent, it is recommended that Press Agent, Bookfilter and RIP polling be configured in order.
– Open the Press Agent application.
– Click the Configure… button.
– Configure the options for the driver, including the Directory to Monitor for incoming console page files and publication name parts to include for page search and loading.
– Press the Start button to start the Press Agent monitoring for press console paging files. A "Start." message should appear in the Press Agent log.
– Turn/load a page using the console at the press desk.
– Check the Press Agent log for a "Matched 0 jobs for…" entry.
Note – if no message line appears, stop the Press Agent polling (Stop button) and check the Press Agent configuration settings to ensure it is monitoring the correct directory or port.
– Configure Polling options including Poll Interval and Show Books Newer Than (if planning file names are reused or to remove expired planning files from Book searches).
– Set the Connection method and directory Paths to poll for planning files.
– Click the Test button in the Testing panel. A "Polling OK." message will display if the Bookfilter can see planning files in the chosen directory path.
– If no Books are visible, then press the toolbar Poll button 3 times to initiate a poll.
– Check the Books and Pages are displaying correctly.
– Check the Book publication name matches the naming format required by the Press Agent.
In the example above the "VP_3201_2013-09-12" differs from the "3201 VP 2013-09-12" name format needed for the Press Agent to recognise the Book publications. So a Job Genie will need to be created to modify the publication name, then assigned to the Bookfilter.
– Create a new Job Genie to re-map the Book publication name to the correct format.
NOTE – the Job Genie only requires a Publication Name String in the Display(5) tab.
– Assign the JobGenie to the Bookfilter and tick the Apply To: Publication Name checkbox.
– Toggle the Polling in the BookMonitor and Poll it again to check the job genie is functioning and the publication Name has be re-mapped correctly.
If necessary, refer to your dealer or the knowledge base article to create the Job Genie.
– Create a new RIP in the Workbench.
– Configure Polling options including Poll Interval.
– Set the Connection method and directory Paths to poll for platesetter files.
– Create a Job Genie to collect and group the platesetter RIP files into jobs for softproofing.
– Assign the JobGenie to the RIP.
IMPORTANT NOTE – the Job Genie must be configured to display jobs in the RIPMonitor named in the exact way as the publication page files listed in the BookMonitor, e.g. "2013-09-12_VP_3201_1" as shown in the BookMonitor image above. The Job Genie only requires a Jobname String in Displays (5), it does NOT require Publication Part or a Publication Name String.
– Make sure there are platesetter files in the RIP polling folder.
– Click the Test button in the Testing panel. A "Polling OK." message will display if the RIP and Job Genie can see jobs in the folder.
– Open a RIPMonitor and press the Poll button 3 times to initiate a Poll.

Hello to APHQ, my name is Nathan I got interested in AP earlier this year and to be honest I am getting pretty overwhelmed with the options and systems that are out there. Right now I am looking to tour some running farms in the South East Michigan area. Any other Michiganders out there that would be willing to let me scope your system out? Looking forward to hearing from the community.
Hello, I realize this is an old post. West Michigan here.
Where are you Murfs ? I am in Harrisville, 4 miles from Huron, planning a hoop house , tilapia and plants is the goal.
I'm familiar with Harrisville. Did my first Rock N Roll gig (Garage band) there as a lead singer back in 1977 I believe it was. Graduated from ACC up the road in Alpena in 1978.
Are you familiar with the Cedar Brook Trout Farm there run by Jerry Kahn?
Yes, they have an excellent operation there, a true family farm.
Btw a friend of mine married a girl from Harrisville.

The Division – Test, Review
jrsal
We live in a complex world. The more progress carries us, the more vulnerable the system becomes. We have built a house of cards. If you pull out just one card, everything collapses.
Black Friday – A devastating pandemic sweeps over New York City. The city's basic supply is gradually being cut off. After just a few days without food and water, society plunges into chaos. The independent special unit "The Division" is alarmed and its agents lead an ordinary life on the outside, but were trained to operate independently and save society.
"The Division" seems to be quite complex and is supposed to offer the player more or something different than ordinary MMO's, but the title doesn't always manage that. Even though the story around our agent is denied in a varied and setting way, it's still not really there. The many small single missions that are present in "The Division" offer a nice change, but are still nothing more than hollow "Kill X enemies and come back to camp" moments, "The Division" offers real variety with its ECHO moments, where the player gets to know a lot of little information about the "Black Friday" attack and its consequences. However, this can't be deceived by the very flat storyline, as it is mostly told too confusingly and is pushed into the background by the side missions.
"Dark Zone" PvP with a lot of potential but few innovations
For all PvP fans there is also the PvP area, which in "The Division" bears the name "Dark Zone", here it is basically about killing mobs, players and the sounding of those. The game is to be supported by the fact that the "Dark Zone" is nicely integrated into the storyline and not a separate section. But this is also where the problem starts, when a game tries to offer a smooth transition from multiplayer or singleplayer to PvP, some factors have to be right and this definitely didn't happen with "The Division".
Let me just explain it using a recent example (also seen in Lets Play). For the "Dark Zone" 2 elements are important, first the rank within the "Dark Zone" and second the level you have in the single player. The first hurdle is the fact that even people who have just started playing can enter the "Dark Zone". This is fair to the PvP specialists, but the high mobs (mostly level 10 and higher) simply slaughter a level lower down. Once this hurdle is removed by eliminating in a group or leveling by the main and side missions, the human factor occurs. As in every MMO, "The Division" is not riddled with idiots, you can't call it any other way, but other players want to get on your nerves. Unfortunately, unlike in beta, at the time of our test, there were no nice instances where players could avoid such tormentors. This and the fact, that too little is done against cheats, hacks and so on, makes the "Dark Zone" really a black zone, useless place, which would have been much more fun by instances, level- and ranking restrictions and the balancing of the mobs to the respective areas.
There is nothing wrong with the graphic itself. Even with the normal "high" setting the textures are nice, but were not always loaded fast enough during the test, which caused the atmosphere to suffer. But the cutscenes, on the other hand, were almost ready to be filmed and well designed.
The sound itself was good, the dubbing actors mostly spoke the voices according to the situation, but unfortunately every now and then one or the other voice attracted attention, which seemed to be listless. Also the felt millionth repetition of the same sentences by passers-by is quite annoying. The weapon sound, on the other hand, is well designed and credible.
If you use the default settings at the beginning you will have problems with the keyboard layout, so after about half an hour the ring finger of the sprint hurt me, because the fact that the character runs automatically via "X" didn't help, because if someone attacks the mobs, the fight would be over pretty fast. Also crossing obstacles with "CTRL" takes getting used to. Here a "double spacebar" assignment would have been more useful.
With almost 43% in just under 12 hours, "The Division" offers a relatively large scope, since this only refers to the main and some side missions and the "Dark Zone" is not calculated, one can already assume several days to weeks of play time. Upcoming DLCs are supposed to extend the main missions again and could provide some hours of fun.
"The Division" is a great shooter with an interesting setting, yet this doesn't help with the relatively flat story as well as the countless side missions, which may be fun at times, but also distract from the story. Also, the potential of the "Dark Zone" isn't fully worked out. All in all a shooter with multiplayer mode in which a mediocre story was integrated.

I have asked this before, but does the Herald-Times actually have content standards, or are those so-called "standards" simply the whims of the editors and comment moderators on any particular day?
On July 10, a guest column was published referring to health care legislation as "murderous" and "murder for hire." Keep in mind that I have had comments deleted for referring to abortion as murder, and the H-T justified that deletion by saying murder is a felony and saying that abortion is murder is therefore defamatory. HeraldTimesOnline moderators have made it very clear that word is not allowed to be used to describe the actions of others, but the Herald-Times approved a guest column claiming that the United States Senate is considering legislation that will "murder" people.
Since the word "murder" is not permitted in HTO comments, it should not be in the print edition. Full stop.
Furthermore, referring to the health care bill as "murderous" is an absurd abuse of language. Murder is the unlawful, intentional termination of a human life. Not one single person who wrote the bill and not one single person who voted for it in the House intend on killing anyone.
Whatever side you are on, there are arguments about whether ObamaCare or the ACHA would be better overall for this nation and her people. Argue your point, but to accuse those who simply disagree with you of being "murderers" degrades the discourse. Even if the American Health Care Act causes people to lose access to health care and they die as a result, that is not "murder." And it is highly debatable whether that will happen. It certainly is not a fact.
Shame on the Herald-Times for their hypocrisy in allowing Leftists to use much more harsh and extreme language than conservatives and in a much more visible format approved by the editor. Shame on the Herald-Times for degrading the dialogue by publishing that guest column. Shame on the Herald-Times for encouraging an uncivil environment by allowing a guest columnist to accuse members of the Bloomington community of "murder." And yes, I mean "our community," because Senator Todd Young lives in Bloomington.
The Herald-Times should do two things. First, they should apologize for poisoning the well. Second, they should stop being hypocrites and apply their so-called "standards" to everyone, not just conservatives.

The reactions to the video online have been overwhelmingly positive! Thanks to everyone who has shared it, commented on it, and helped spread the word – your support is invaluable! Here are some of the most common comments we've seen:
"This is so helpful! I'm starting a business soon and this will be really helpful."

Views on whether or not the video is funny
It all depends on the individual viewer's sense of humor and how well the video is executed. That being said, some of the most popular comedy videos on YouTube tend to be those that are well-made and are able to generate a lot of laughs.
As everyone's sense of humor is likely to be different. That said, most people seem to think that the video is funny, especially given the hilarious reactions it has elicited online. If you're undecided about whether or not you think the video is funny, I recommend watching it for yourself and making your own judgement.
Should it be removed?
As with any situation that might be considered controversial or offensive, we would recommend that any Gay Tentacle Rape Cartoon Video be removed from online platforms as soon as possible. This content is not consistent with the values of our company and could potentially violate the terms of service of any platforms on which it may be hosted. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
On one side, you have those who believe that this cartoon video should be removed from all online platforms for its explicit and graphic content. On the other side, you have those who believe that free speech should be upheld and that this cartoon video is an artistic expression of free speech.
Personally, I believe that this cartoon video should be removed for two reasons:
1. The graphic and explicit content – While I believe that free speech should be upheld, there are some boundaries that need to be respected. This cartoon video crosses the line into sexually assaulting children and is not appropriate for any platform or audience. It's time for it to be taken down!
2. The precedent it sets – This cartoon video is simply the latest in a long line of hate crimes against LGBTQ+ people. By allowing this cartoon video to stay online, we are tacitly endorsing its existence and legitimising its content. We cannot let this trend continue – we must take a stand against hate crimes and ensure that they are not tolerated or rewarded!
The scenes are shocking to see and we hope that the cartoon makers use their creative abilities to make this a watchable video.
However, seeing how far some people will go in terms of being immoral is another story altogether – something that will give you a sense of unease for sure!
As you can see, the cartoon video was shocking and not at all what people were expecting. It was quite a shock to everyone who watched it that monsters like Leiji Matsumoto could come up with such an offensive cartoon.
Did you know that this cartoon has been viewed millions of times? Majority of people didn't even bat an eyelid at watching this disturbing art piece. The only person who seemed upset about it is your best friend – the one whom you shared everything with!

The company was founded in Bilbao in 1959. Since its inception the founding brothers decided to create a company with their own engineering and product.
So they went from making small equipment for foundry such as furnaces cupola, pouring spoons and molding machines, to acquire and develop the technology to manufacture shot blasting machines and blasting equipment.
Being in the Basque Country, one of the areas with the most steel industry, they did not lack challenges to grow to form the group of companies that form today Alju.
Today, the second generation is the one that pilots the project as heir to the values of its elders and facing the future with the acquired knowledge the bet for the R & D of new products, quality and competitiveness.
In this way Alju has become a leader in engineering, manufacturing and after-sales service of shot blasting machines, blast equipment, environmental emission control equipment and filters, vibrating and natural frequency transport machinery, furnace loaders and vibrating equipment.
All of this would not be possible without the human team of workers, employees, suppliers and customers whom we thank for years of successful relationships and with whom we want to share many more years of success.

PA chasing down homosexuals
Maurice Hirsch, Adv. and Itamar Marcus | Aug 19, 2019
PA police: Gay activities are "a violation of the highest ideals and values of the Palestinian society."
"The police will prevent any activity by the homosexual group."
"Police are searching for the organizers of this [gay] gathering - and they will be transferred to the legal authorities the moment they are caught."
Police called on Palestinians "to contact the police and report any person who has a connection to this [gay rights] organization."
The Palestinian Authority has made its stance regarding LGBTQ very clear: those organizing homosexuals activities will be arrested and charged for violating "the highest ideals and values of the Palestinian society, said PA police spokesman, Luay Erziqat."
The PA daily Al Ayyam reported yesterday on the PA police response to a planned LGBTQ event in a Palestinian city:
Headline: "The [PA] police act to prevent an attempt to hold a gathering of homosexuals in the West Bank"
"The Palestinian [Authority] police announced yesterday [Aug. 17, 2019] that it is pursuing a group that intends to hold a gathering of homosexuals in the West Bank. It emphasized that it will prevent this and accused 'dubious parties' of being behind the matter.
In a statement published on the police's official website, Police Spokesman Luay Erziqat was quoted as saying that the police are searching for the organizers of this gathering - and they will be transferred to the legal authorities the moment they are caught.'
Erziqat said to AFP (Agence France-Presse) that 'the police are seeking a group of homosexuals that has begun preparations for a gathering they called a "rainbow gathering" on the internet.'
He added that the police 'will prevent any activity by the homosexual group called "Al-Qaws" (i.e., rainbow).'
The spokesman explained in a previous statement that 'Such activities are considered a violation of the highest ideals and values of the Palestinian society.'
Erziqat blamed 'dubious parties who are attempting to stir up strife and harm the public order of the Palestinian society,' but he did not note who these parties are.
He called on Palestinians 'to contact the police and report any person who has a connection to this organization.'"
Al-Ayyam, Aug. 18, 2019
Given that the the PA is openly pursues members of the LGBTQ community, it is incomprehensible that some LGBTQ groups around the world support the Palestinian Authority and are even active in the BDS -Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement against Israel.
A statement published on the Facebook page of the Israel based alQaws organization for Sexual & Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society said the PA police announcement came in response to activities organized by the group.
In the last few months, different cities around Israel have hosted "gay pride parades" and Tel Aviv is often referred to as one of the most LGBTQ-friendly cities in the world.
While reports regarding the Palestinian LGBTQ community don't often appear in the official PA controlled media, reports from different sources have highlighted that the Palestinian leadership - both the PA and Hamas - prohibits LGBTQ activities. In many cases, members of the community have even expressed fear for their lives.
Note: "alQaws for Sexual & Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society is a group of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning and queer (LGBTQ) Palestinian activists and allies. An open queer and feminist space, alQaws inspires and engages its community to disrupt sexual and gender-based oppression and challenge regulation, whether patriarchal, capitalist or colonial, of our sexualities and bodies. alQaws works collaboratively to transform Palestinian society's perspectives on gender and sexual diversity, LGBT issues, and to struggle for broader social justice."

Q: How to connect Firebase service account to different GCP project I want to use the Firebase Admin SDK. And I will deploy my server into the GKE. but apparently, when clicking 'service account' from my firebase, it is linked to another 'project' in my GCP
To give an example of it, my whole project in GCP is under a project 'project-a' with an ID of 'project-a-12345678'.
my firebase project name is 'project-b' with and id of 'project-b'.
So how can I connect my firebase to my current GKE's project service account?

A: Firebase projects are Google Cloud projects, that just have some extra metadata attached to them. If you have an existing Firebase project, you can use GKE in that same project by opening it in the Google Cloud console.
You can also go the other direction and add Firebase features to an existing Google Cloud project. For this, go to the Firebase console, click Add project and then click in the Enter your project name box, it'll show you a list of GCP project that you have that are not associated with Firebase. If you select one of those project, it add the Firebase metadata and you can then use Firebase services on it too.

President Donald Trump likes to spin his finger in a circle and make a whirring noise when he's making fun of wind turbines as a source of renewable energy. But it was the President's policies that were spinning this week as he retreated from a number of bold pronouncements, policy ideas and nominees.
If you're keeping score:
The border with Mexico will not be closed.
Republicans will not soon present a replacement for the Affordable Care Act.
He doesn't actually think the Mueller report on Russian election interference should be publicly released.
His nominee to head Immigration and Customs Enforcement is his nominee no longer.
What's on display is a President who just says things that pop into his head or announces policies via Twitter – then must find ways to retreat from them or make them real.
Did he ever really believe he would close the entire border with Mexico, or was it just bluster? After the utter disappointment of failing to repeal Obamacare, for which Trump still carries a festering grudge, did he sincerely think it would get another vote?

Related Article The White House is radio silent on clarifying Trump's misrepresentation about his father's birthplace
That Trump often says incorrect things about issues big and small has been well-documented. Just this week, for some mystifying reason, he repeated his untrue contention that his father was born in Germany. But his credibility, such as it is, faces new questions as the week draws to a close.
For example, declaring the US would close its southern border had wide implications that caused consternation in many quarters. But Trump has now retreated from the closure threat and subbed in a threat for new auto tariffs on Mexico a year from now. Should the Mexican government take that seriously? And should Americans believe that Trump can deliver on a new health care plan after the 2020 election? What is his credibility on any policy proposal if they don't seem to be much more than thoughts that suddenly occur to him?
Here's a closer look at a week of flip-flops.
Full retreat on health care
Trump is no stranger to bold pronouncements, but this week found him rebuked, uncharacteristically, by the actions and words of Republicans in the Senate.
When the President overruled his attorney general and health and human services secretary to endorse a Texas judge's decision a few months ago that the entire Affordable Care Act should be invalidated, it underlined the fact that Republicans don't have a plan to replace Obamacare at the moment and the party had largely given up on it even as the GOP sought new ways to starve and undermine the law.
Trump promised the public that a new plan would be forthcoming and Republicans would be the "party of health care!"
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, however, broke it to the President that no such plan would get a vote on Capitol Hill since the Democrats who now control the House have very different ideas about how to fix the problem of unaffordable health insurance.
Trump retreated late Monday in a tweet.
"The Republicans are developing a really great HealthCare Plan with far lower premiums (cost) & deductibles than ObamaCare. In other words it will be far less expensive & much more usable than ObamaCare. Vote will be taken right after the Election when Republicans hold the Senate & win back the House. It will be truly great HealthCare that will work for America," he said.
A staggered retreat on closing the border
A similar dose of truth-telling appears to have made him retreat from repeated threats to close the border with Mexico, which almost everyone in government said would be an economic disaster.
McConnell said it would have a catastrophic impact, but while he told Trump no, essentially, on health care, on the border wall he simply expressed his desire.
"Closing down the border would have potentially catastrophic economic impact on our country, and I would hope we would not be doing that," he said Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Trump said he didn't mind the economic impact.
"Security is more important to me than trade," the President said during an appearance in the Oval Office. "So we're going to have a secure border."
But on Thursday, he twice changed his tune, first giving Mexico an ultimatum.
"We're going to give them a one-year warning, and if the drugs don't stop or (are) largely stopped, we're going to put tariffs on Mexico and products, in particular, the cars … and if that doesn't stop the drugs, we close the border," Trump said.
Later that day he seemed to be laying the groundwork to back off his earlier threat to shut the border.
"I don't think we'll ever have to close the border because the penalty of tariffs on cars coming into the United States from Mexico, at 25%, will be massive," the President said.
Business leaders and lawmakers are still nervous about tariffs. And as Trump hopes to finalize his new trade deal with Mexico and Canada, it's a serious and legitimate question: Is this tariff threat real or just part of an effort to mask his retreat?
Giving one nominee the unexpected boot and sticking by other picks
It wasn't just policy on which Trump was pivoting when, as he left Washington on his way to California for a visit to the border on Friday, he announced to reporters that he was pulling his nominee to lead the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, Ron Vitiello. While the health care and border retreats were caused by Trump running into political and economic realities, this one had his allies confused.
Trump: We want to go in a tougher direction
"We're going in a little different direction. Ron's a good man, but we're going in a tougher direction. We want to go in a tougher direction," Trump said.
He didn't mention the very difficult confirmation fight acting director Vitiello had faced. But the move was announced so quickly that it caught the Department of Homeland Security off guard and leadership at ICE thought the move was a clerical error Friday morning.
On the other hand, Trump wants to nominate Herman Cain to a powerful spot on the Federal Reserve Board, and the President made clear to reporters that his people would have to figure out how to make it happen. Cain, a former business executive and a 2012 Republican presidential hopeful whose campaign was troubled by allegations of sexual harassment, has no direct monetary policy experience.
"I've recommended Herman Cain," Trump said Thursday. "A terrific man, a terrific person. He's a friend of mine," the President told reporters in the Oval Office. "I've recommended him highly for the Fed. I've told my folks that that's the man and he's doing some pre-checking now and I would imagine he'd be in great shape."
Trump is also standing behind his pick for another open Fed seat, Stephen Moore of the conservative Heritage Foundation, a former CNN analyst. Moore seems likely to immediately push for interest rate cuts urged by Trump, which has set off alarm bells on Wall Street. He has also faced criticism for failing to pay spousal and child support, according to The New York Times, and $75,000 in taxes.
A switch on the Mueller report
Before Attorney General William Barr boiled down special counsel Robert Mueller's nearly 400-page report on Russian election interference into a four-page summary that was very beneficial to Trump – though it did not exonerate him on the issue of obstruction of justice – the President said the whole report should be released.
But now that Barr's summary of the report is public, Trump has evolved over the past two weeks and doesn't see the need for full disclosure.

Barr is working on a redacted version of the full report that scrubs out certain material that is classified or comes from grand jury information. Nearly every page is thought to have redactions, according to the Justice Department. Democrats are already moving in the direction of a subpoena to see the full report, even though the attorney general has not yet released Barr's version.
"It's a 400-page report, right? We could give them 800 pages, and it wouldn't be enough. They'll always come back and say it is not enough," Trump said Tuesday.
That Trump makes bold pronouncements he can't deliver on is nothing new. That's how a complete ban on Muslim people entering the country ultimately became a targeted ban on some people from certain countries.
That he sours on some people without explanation while sticking blindly with others has been a theme of his hiring and firing at the White House.
That he would say he supports something unexpected and then actively work against it has been at the heart of several of his positions on the Mueller investigation and on transparency. He said he would happily give testimony in person for the investigation and then his legal team fought very hard for him not to. He promised to release his tax returns once he wasn't being audited, but it's doubtful he ever will.
But the increasingly rapid pace of flips and spins, of the time it takes to go from bold Trump statement to complete retreat, has exposed a continuing problem for his presidency:
Nobody – not voters, policymakers, heads of state or his own staff – knows when they can trust what he says.

Troopers are often the first on scene of incidents involving substance abuse and addiction, and having the Narcan on hand will help them save lives. The drug has no negative side effects, so it can be administered to anyone. The drug only has an effect on people who are suffering opiate overdoses, as it has the ability to reach the opiate receptor inside the brain.
"I applaud the Arkansas State Police in its effort to stem the tide of overdose deaths by expanding access to the life-saving drug Naloxone and ensuring a pathway to treatment and recovery for those struggling with addiction," said Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson.

James Smallwood Commentary: Following Vital Police Training Is Never a Crime
by James Smallwood
This week, Americans showed their respect and support of local police by celebrating National Law Enforcement Appreciation day. Many government officials recognized this celebration by issuing proclamations, offering tributes, and declaring their admiration for the men and women who keep us safe. Here in Nashville, District Attorney Glenn Funk celebrated by comparing Metro police to Nazis.
While outrageous, that slur isn't the worst of his actions toward police. His politically motivated decision to charge Metro Nashville Police Officer Andrew Delke with a crime for doing precisely what he and every other police officer in Tennessee are trained to do is an attack on law enforcement itself.
Sadly, Mr. Funk's decision may result in more police officers being hurt and killed in the line of duty. Punishing – in this case prosecuting – an officer who follows official training guidelines leads to danger, even disaster.
In 2016, a female Chicago police officer was savagely beaten and had her face smashed repeatedly into the pavement by a man high on the drug PCP. While she believed she was going to die from the horrific beating, the officer ignored her training and didn't shoot the man because "she didn't want her family or the department to go through the scrutiny the next day on national news."
In 2018, a Massachusetts police officer approached a suspect brandishing a large rock. Although the officer drew his weapon, he refrained from firing. The suspect cruelly took advantage of that hesitation. He brutally beat the officer in the head with the rock. He then took the officer's gun, stood over him, and coldly fired 10 rounds into the officer, killing him.
Other examples abound and the takeaway is unmistakable: politicians second-guessing police officers facing a deadly threat make every police officer less safe and, inevitably, compromise Nashville's safety itself.
District Attorney Funk, so focused on the view through his political periscope, charged Officer Delke with murder for following his training when confronting an armed suspect who was pointing a gun at him.
Last year, Mr. Funk took the case to a magistrate, who refused to sign an arrest warrant because he didn't see reason to believe a crime was committed. But that didn't stop this district attorney. He shopped his warrant around until he finally found a judge to sign it.
The case against Officer Delke is as thin as watered-down soup. A convicted felon, armed with a loaded, military grade semiautomatic weapon was in a suspicious car and refused to stop when Officer Delke attempted to pull him over. After fleeing, this armed suspect parked his vehicle and fled on foot. Officer Delke gave chase and quickly used his radio to warn other officers that the fleeing suspect was wielding a gun. He repeatedly ordered the suspect to drop the weapon. The suspect refused.
That's when the real danger occurred. The suspect looked over his shoulder, employing what self-defense experts call a "targeting glance." And he pointed his semi-automatic weapon at Officer Delke. At that point, Officer Delke did as he was trained: he fired his weapon to stop the deadly threat.
Police training is based on a terrifying but true foundational principle: officers who fail to act when a gun is pointed at them, may be mere moments away from death. That's why Tennessee law empowers officers to use deadly force in the face of a deadly threat. And that's just what Andrew Delke did.
As a result, a politician who shamefully compares police to Nazis now wants to send an officer to prison. By putting his personal politics before Nashville's public safety, Glenn Funk owes police – and our entire community – an apology.
James Smallwood is President of the Nashville Fraternal Order of Police.
Nashville Attorney General Glen Funk said in his closing statement to the Court in seeking indictment of Officer Delke: "Andrew Delke was 'following his training' — same defense that Himmler used at Nuremberg, that Lt. Calley used in Vietnam, and now Andrew Delke is propounding to this court."
A defense attorney for Delke, Davi Raybin has claimed that Funk's statement is a declaration of "war on our police" and compares them to Nazis, as the Smallwood commentary says as well.
Funk, however, says nothing could be "further from the truth." In a written statement Funk's spokesman noted that his point during the preliminary hearing was that "individuals are accountable for their actions and cannot assign blame to their superiors or the department as a whole."

never mind, i shouldn't say what i'm thinking, but for all of you police haters, in the unfortunate event that you need an office to pull your butt out of a sling, who do you think might do that for ya. Ignorance is driving this country to hell, a little every day, by idiots like you FUNK
Rob Dickson
When did shooting a fleeing suspect become police policy
When the police officer had a loaded weapon pointed at him by a felon. That's when.
Tennessee vs Garner AND when they point any firearm, loaded or not at them or others.
When the perp points a gun at the officer or decides to run around a blind corner that your wife or daughter could be standing at.
Proud Nashvillian
What did we expect? Funk defended drug dealers most of his career. Just like the one who got shot.

When a person does not have a good dental habit of brushing or flossing, black spots begin to develop and form on the surface of his teeth. These stains are usually stubborn and very hard to remove; hence, making it more unnerving to have them. Black spots may occur anywhere. They may appear on molars at the back of the mouth. But what's really unsightly is when they appear on the front teeth. Imagine having a million-dollar smile only for it to be ruined by those unappealing teeth spots.
Dental experts attribute many factors as causes of black spots of teeth. For one, smoking is a dreadful habit that causes not only cancer but black spots on the teeth as well. Nicotine and other tobacco residue accumulate on the teeth, causing them to form tartar and plaque. If you'll notice, most smokers, especially chain smokers, don't usually have clean teeth. At the very least, their teeth have yellowish stains, which could worsen to black if they do not maintain good dental hygiene.
Black spots are also attributed to coffee and tea. It is the caffeine content that causes these stains and spots on teeth. What's worse is that many people enjoy their cup of coffee along with cigarettes.
Most black spot treatment depends on what caused the teeth's discoloration. If the spots are due to tobacco, cigarettes or nicotine, dental experts would recommend an ultrasonic cleaning. Cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth bleaching are also done when the stains are stubborn and hard to remove.


Just as developers continually improve their apps to make it more user-friendly and full of features, other people with malicious intent are also doing some things to make sure that they get what they want.
There are certainmobile app design company in Malaysia out there that mask themselves as legitimate ones, only for them to do more than what they're purported to do. In the case that your phone is infected, it can only damage the operating system and sometimes the phone itself. However, in the worst cases, the attacker could also get your personal information as well, which is something that you do not want to happen.
For the Android platform, users make use of the Google Play Store to download their apps. For iPhone users, they go to the Apple app store to do the same thing.
To make sure that the app is legitimate, only download them from the aforementioned app stores. You see, Google and Apple have employed measures so that the final apps that are published are good and legitimate apps.
Of course, there are some apps that can get accepted into the ecosystem even though they are not legitimate ones. Hey, people from the aforementioned companies can still commit mistakes, okay?
Anyway, another way of knowing if an app is legitimate is by looking at users' reviews. But, a tip would be to look at them with a discerning eye.
You see, some shady app developers can employ bots that will leave positive feedbacks about their application, and if you do not do your due diligence to investigate, you could end up compromising your phone.
As much as possible, look at what most people have to say about the app before going ahead and installing it.
Bad and shady apps usually do not have well-written descriptions. It is usually riddled with bad grammar and punctuation and you can easily spot it as well.
This is usually a sign that the developer did not invest the proper time and resources to make things work. They are usually just in to steal whatever they want to steal from you (such as financial information).
This is an indication that you should never download the app.
Genuine applications that come from authentic companies usually disclose information about the development team. They also have a well-designed website to match as well.
When you search for an app and you tap on something that you like, the developer's name will usually be placed right under the application's name. Furthermore, more information about them will be placed under the app's main description as well.
If it is developed by a trustworthy creator, all of the information that you need to know should be disclosed on their page.
Aside from the ones that have been mentioned, other things that you should look out for are the app's icon as well as the number of times the app has been installed to different phones.
All of this should be visible when you click on the app's page. If the icon looks like it was poorly designed, it is most likely a fake app. Moreover, if the number of installations isn't that high, then again, it is likely to be a fake app as well.
Fake apps should be avoided like a plague as it can not only damage your phone, but it can also be a means for attackers to steal your sensitive information. Hopefully, these tips will help you spot the fake from the real ones.

AnonD-262250, 25 Mar 2015HTC, how can u put 2800mah battery on a 5.5" QHD phone? How long can it last? With SD 810, it would last about couple of hours on-screen time. I am not sure about MT chipset though.
Why htc go with fullhd display for one M9..? Why not Quad hd like samsung galaxy s6.

HTC, how can u put 2800mah battery on a 5.5" QHD phone?
your small handed phone user"
Is that phone coming with txt ips or s/amoled display . 5.7" screen will be better .
5"" or 5.2 even 5.5 are too small now a days phablet age.
Why not 55-inch screen, HTC? Everyone in marketing department having a separate, independent opinion from the world?
Anything beyond 5 inches is unusable with one hand. Especially those paper-thin phones with tiny bezels - you HAVE to touch it on the screen to HOLD the phone in your hand. Or risk dropping it. Oh, maybe thats why HTC is now offering an extended warranty against drops? Because its IMPOSSIBLE to hold the phone in the first place and they're aware of the problem, but instead of making it smaller and thus easier to hold, they're making a "cheaper version"?
I guess I'll never understand these people who don't even care to try to understand me.
O wow.. So, QHD, 3 GB of RAM and 32GB of storage is midrange now? This is going to be interesting.

With the deep-rooted history around Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, Justin's girlfriends have always felt as if they're trying to measure up.
Hailey Baldwin is Justin's newest fling. Despite knowing each other for years, Justin and Hailey never took the step from friends to relationship.
They've been hanging out, going to church and heading to clubs but only recently have they made it official.
Even though Selena and Justin were spotted together for a short time, not too long ago, it didn't last long (when does it ever), and Selena jetted off to Europe and got cosy with hot Italian boys.
It seems as if Selena is unbothered by this HOWEVER, her most recent song 'Back To You' from the 13 Reasons Why Season 2 Soundtrack sounds reaaaaal sus.


It is always important to do the due diligence process right on any property that will be used for a loan. We follow a very rigid guideline to ensure that the property is suitable and qualifies as a good loan for Gap Investments. Many people think they can ask their lawyer to do the due diligence on the loan. This is often a mistake. Why? Because it is not really worthwhile for a lawyer to make a recommendation, as he could be liable if the borrower does not pay. Considering what the legal fees are, a lawyer might not want to be exposed to the liability in the event of a foreclosure. Lawyers often say to us "we are not real estate experts in that area." Following that train of thought, they may not be able to assess the true property value and are likely to reject the loan (even if it is a good one) rather than have to do all the research and take all that responsibility in that particular area. Additional fees are likely, as many lawyers demand far too much unnecessary documentation. Lawyers would rather say no to the loan rather than miscalculate, or take responsibility for the loan.
With over 30 years combined experience, we know how to assess property values in order to give the right LTV (Loan to Value ratio). This analysis is key when evaluating whether a loan is suitable or not. Although 50% is as high as we go, we much prefer to be on the lower end of that scale. Unfortunately, you can never make money by saying "no" to a good investment. Our job is to create a steady, fixed income for you. You need to invest your money in something in order to achieve a good return on your investment. Many lenders ask us if we think they are ready to assess a loan on their own here in Costa Rica. The answer is no, we have processed 100s of loans with no foreclosures to date! This only comes through years of experience and being able to assess loans properly. For more information on how to qualify for a loan or become a lender, contact us now.

Q: TS - assign value from a callback function using return Im getting data of class People array with each person having attendance list as Observable<any[]>.
// Class person
class Person {
   id: number;
   name: string;
   attendance: Observable<any[]>; // An Observable array
}

// People array (I only use array for simplicity sake)
// NOTE: Every person has a list of attendance
people = Person[] = this.someService.getPeople();

Now I'm validating if some of the people may had 0 length of attendance assuming that attendance: Observable<any[]> is always an empty array [] if nothing is found, return false otherwise true to validateAttendance().
validateAttendance(): boolean {

    // Loop to each person and get attendance list.
    people.forEach(p => {
       // Get the list using a callback function.
       const func = (callback: (data) => void) => {
            // Get attendance using subscribe() method
            p.attendance.subscribe(list => {
                callback(list);
            });
        }

       // An attempt to get the list from a callback function
       // Failed because return is undefined.
       const result = func(res => {
           console.log(res); // Got list of attendance of a given person.
           return res;
       });

       if (result.length <= 0) {
           alert(`${p.name} has no attendance, must be a lazy one please check.`);
           return false;
       }
    });

    return true;
}

In order to do that i attempted to create a callback function inside the validateAttendance() method and return the attendance list from it. HOWEVER the result variable is undefined!
It is possible to return a value from a callback function this way?

A: There are several things wrong with your code:

*

*It is asynchronous, so the function needs to be async too (using Promise)

*func() does not return a value, so the result will always be undefined.

*You have alert() deep in your code. Are you going to pop up for each person with no attendance? It is better to separate logic and UI.

I have modified your code to the following:
function validateAttendance(people): Promise<boolean> {
  return getPeopleWithNoAttendance(people)
    .then(peopleWithNoAttendance => {
      if (peopleWithNoAttendance.length > 0) {
        // or loop though them
        alert(`${peopleWithNoAttendance[0].name} has no attendance, must be a lazy one please check.`);
        return false
      }
      return true
    })
}

function getPeopleWithNoAttendance(people) {
  return Promise.all(people.map(person => {
    return new Promise(r => {
      person.attendance.subscribe(r)
    }).then(attendance => {
      return attendance.length <= 0 ? person : undefined
    })
  })).then(listOfPeopleOrUndefined => {
    const listOfPeople = listOfPeopeleOrUndefined.filter(p => p)
    return listOfPeople
  })
}

Also changed is having the people variable passed in. If this is a method in a class, feel free to change that.

It's tough to know what's surprising about the latest incarnation of Paddington Bear, that there was furore about the film's content being suitable for children or the fact that it's very, very good.
It begins rather wonderfully with a 1940s showreel about an explorer going to ˜Darkest Peru' for the first time and encountering a species of bears that can talk and love marmalade. After teaching them basic English Now try saying Stratford-Upon-Avon he tells them their always welcome in London. That trip never quite happens, but they do extend the welcome to their nephew Paddington (Ben Whishaw) and after a natural disaster he finds himself alone at Paddington Station where he meets the Brown family.
The rest of the plot involves Paddington trying to find the original explorer and eventually finding a home, while trying to avoid capture at the hands of maniacal taxidermist Millicent (Nicole Kidman). But what is really impressive is just how reimagining Michael Bond's 1970s creation in an era of modern CGI, director Paul King, most famous for directing most of The Mighty Boosh TV series creates something so quintessentially British.
The decision to replace Colin Firth with Ben Whishaw appears to have been a wise choice as his young voice is perfectly suited to well-spoken bear. The animation, which could have proved a sticking point in the overall feel of the film is superb and the look of each individual hair on Paddington's body is carefully rendered and sumptuously presented.
The human case give just as much to story as the titular hero, with Nicole Kidman providing a suitably nasty villain of the pantomime kind, and presents it with scenery-chewing gusto. Sally Hawkins Mrs. Brown providing the heart and Julie Walter's Mrs. Bird providing the muscle. This is a British family to be proud of, with each bringing careful emotional heft to the film without descending too close into cheesy sentimentality.
Be warned; tears will be shed, but they every bit from a joyous expression of childhood as they are from fear or heartstring twanging. Despite this it won't be long before you stumble on another comic scene that will have you laughing out loud. There's even an extended scene involving cross-dressing from the brilliant Mr. Brown (Hugh Bonneville) that harks back to another classic 70s creation, the Carry On films.
It would have been so easy to create a cynical version of Paddington complete with thumb-in-the-eye jabs at how far we've come as a society, but instead Paul King and his crew have opted to highlight how not different we are. Paddington celebrates everything that is wonderful and dreadful about being British (There are 42 different ways of saying it's raining in English), while simultaneously bringing a 70s creation straight back into the modern public consciousness.
All the hype around it being unsuitable for children prove false, as Paddington is something truly special for the whole family. Even more impressive than that Paddington is the finest family film in years, and children will no doubt be watching it each Christmas for years to come. Not bad for a bear with a mild marmalade addiction.
