Throughout my childhood I'd seen my mother do needlework and learned from her by example. I can't remember exactly why I was home from school that week. I think I might have had the mumps, or was it after I had my tonsils out. Whatever. I wasn't allowed to go outside and ride my bike, climb trees or pet the neighbor's pony. I'd read all the books I had at home. I was bored to tears and probably so was my mom who was stuck at home with me. So mom put me to work with knitting needles, crochet hook and yarn. Frankly I was glad to go back to school.
Fast forward to over a decade ago when I went into early "retirement". The radio station at which I was employed was sold to a Spanish language company, my insistence that I could learn Spanish fell on deaf ears, and I found myself in the absurd state of having no job, an empty nest and nothing to do. I put myself to work with needles, hook and yarn. This time the crochet spoke to me.
I was just a hobbyist, a dabbler in the craft, but well on the way to becoming an obsessive fiberazzi (fiberazza?). Like you I crocheted holiday gifts for everyone, afghans for every baby shower, sweaters for the dog. One day on a whim I posted an image of myself in a shawl that I had made (I didn't realize then that I had "designed" it) on the Lion Brand Yarn customer gallery. It got so many hits that I was asked to submit the sample and a pattern. They even offered to pay me. Money. Well HELL YES!
As an author I have four crochet design books with Potter Craft. I also write technical articles and essays for magazines and newsletters.As a proud and avid Professional Member of the Crochet Guild Of America, 2016 inductee into the CGOA Jean Leinhauser Hall of Fame, I hold a CGOA Masters in Basic Crochet. I earned status as a Craft Yarn Council of America Certified Crochet Instructor. And I am an Associate Member of the industry organization, The National NeedleArts Association.
If you put tags on all of the hundreds of my published designs, the heaviest hits would be: crochet, lace, seamless top-down construction. Those three attributes pretty much sum up what I do. I specialize in garments and accessories for women, mostly because men don't wear lace. With few exceptions my designs are virtually seamless, no sew, meaning when you're done crocheting, you're done.

My latest venture and the scariest thing I've ever done is launching my own self-published pattern line, DJC Designs. Available exclusively at DesigningVashti.com, the ultimate crochet destination and pattern boutique owned by my friend Vashti Braha, DJC Designs lets me explore territory not possible in traditional publishing venues. Coming soon is the expansion of the companion line, DJC Designs, Too!, a collection of seamless garments sized for girls, tweens and teens.
Over the years I have been interviewed a few times. Though I know I should be more circumspect in my response to questions (even when the interviewer is a good friend… especially when the interviewer is a good friend!) I end up spilling my guts anyway.
Crochet Insider, a phone interview I did with Dora Ohrenstein in 2006.
Knitting Daily TV, Episode 208, I appeared with Kim Werker and demonstrated seamless garment construction. Older series of this show crop up occasionally on public TV; also available on DVD.
Knit and Crochet Now! TV, Show 213; speaking with Brett Bara about exploded lace; the companion project Light and Lacy Top is a free download, but you must sign up and sign in to get the pdf.
Getting Loopy, the blogtalkradio show with Mary Beth Temple, I was one of her first guests, 6 May 2008 episode.
Knitcircus, Winter 2010; the first crochet designer interview for this primarily knitting e-magazine.
While at TNNA, Columbus, June 2011, I talked with Stacey, head of the Independent Designer Program at KnitPicks, about Pam's Comfort Cables. I sort of got ambushed and wasn't prepared (in other words I look like hell!) but this was such a great project and such a nice reception at KnitPicks, so here I am being interviewed on camera.
An interview I did with Kathy Elkins, owner of WEBS, the most awesome yarn store on the planet, for the WEBS blog podcast Ready, Set, Knit #228, 23 July 2011.
I am working on the Chamomile Cardigan with the broomstick lace pattern. I am stuck on row 5 of the Yoke. I am not sure about creating the sleeves. It says to work in the front and the back. But I am confussed. Please help!!!!
Hey Chrissie, Thank you for your interest in this design. I do not give pattern support on this blog. Please join me and the posse at Ravelry.com and post your questions at the forum dedicated to my designs, Doris Chan: Everyday Crochet. If you are not on Ravelry, it is a free fiber site and it's where we play. See you there.
Doris – I hope you remember me from high school! I would love to catch up with you, Suzanne…next time on the east coast. I finally ditched the corporate world several years ago just to do art. Saw Nancy Kintisch a few years ago in L.A.
I used to design and hand paint needlepoint for 10 years, then got a "real" job -learned all my needlework from my Grandmother!
So glad to meet you Miss Chan, your story sounds like mine. I started crocheting as a pre-teen to chase boredom and fell in love with the art. Throughout my life though I have not had much time to pursue it with the enthusiasm as I would have liked. However now a days I am forced retired and I picked up my hobby again as a means of looking busy while I ponder my life and my future.
To say I love lace is an understatement. I begun again making afghans, but soon became bored, then one day while browsing the net I came across one of your patterns, a beautiful lacy top which I made for my oldest girl. I was impressed with your precision and the fact that this garment was seamless from start to finish. After that I went in search of more of your work and came across the pearl river shawl which I am currently working on in Paton's Lace with sequins for a dear friend. Just as you described the art of crocheting and dealing with the tangles and knots of the yarn etc. so has been the experience with the peice. Mainly I suppose because Paton's lace yarn is a blend of mohair, wool and acrylic, (and not the bamboo which you used) so when you miss a stitch or miscount, unravelling it, is a nightmare. I have considered tossing it aside in frustration many times but when I got through the first 13 rows finally, it was so georgeous that I just couldn't stop. Working with yarn is like the journey of life in so many ways but as you encounter the difficulties along the way it is necessary to remind yourself of the desired goal (success) so that you can't stop going. So I look often at your finished product to keep myself inspired. I have also decided to pace myself a bit, since the yarn is bulky and the project requires extreme concentration so as not to miscount the sc stitches, then throw off the broomstick lace count which has happened.
Meanwhile I am so excited by your wearable lace creations that I have purchased two of your books. I plan to put every woman I know in one of your designs. I look forward to joining your website for future updates and information. Thanks for sharing your unique talent with the world.
Can you help me? I just purchased your book "amazing crochet lace" and am trying to make the blue curacao shawl on page 137. I'm having a problem with row 11. I think there is an error with the rep from ** twice. Also row 10 says to rep from * 3 times, but I think it should be 4 times. Please help.
Hi! Merry Christmas. I have crocheted several of your patterns, and really like your work. With that said, I have a love for lacy patterns, and I'm finding it harder and harder to find really great crochet patterns like some of the newer lacy knit patterns. So, my first question is are you fimilar with any crochet pattern simliar to the knitted out today? Second, I just found in the used book store, a book from Needle Craft, which shows knitting and crochet examples, patterns etc. Basically, a how to move between the two and what the looks with be. Since alot of the knitted lacy patterns are in a graph form is there a way to convert them to a similar crochet graph (like filet)? Thank you for your time and assistance. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for your interest. I do not field questions on this blog; it's not set up for individual exchanges. Please join the posse at Ravelry.com. Once you've signed up, you'll be able to post your questions on the forum dedicated to my designs, Doris Chan: Everyday Crochet, or simply search the site for answers.
interesting blog with an amusing presentation. I have three skeins of Lion homespun and was looking for some design. I came across your pattern DJC shawl on internet using the yarn in funky version.
I liked the lace at the bottom, would you recommend to use home spun to go for the chunky version using home spun or I should avoid it..haven't used home spun earlier..pl advice..
Thanks for your interest in All Shawl. I wrote that pattern with many options so that crocheters would be empowered to use virtually any yarn to crochet any version desired. Yes, your idea will work just fine. Happy crocheting!
Thanks Doris…the shawl worked out awesome….
I have purchased City Crochet and want to do the Tokyo Vest. I have done a lot of Tunisian but can't figure out the mesh stitch, I ordered 101 Easy Tunisian Stitches as I was told it was in there but I can't seem to find it. Would you be willing to do a You Tube demo on the mesh stitch please?
Not at this time. Please check Ravelry.com at the forum dedicated to my designs, Doris Chan: Everyday Crochet. There has been discussion and help for this design.
Avalon is designed with NaturallyCaron.com SPA. You're good to go.
hello, i found your blog thru a link on ravelry which took me to your old blog. now that i've found it, i'll return often! just a suggestion, you might want to change this link to take the reader to the correct current link at the new pattern link so that some not so savvy webbies can get to the right place for this pattern, thanks!
I do know how to crochet but I do not know how to read a pattern. I can follow if I watch a You tube video or watch someone else crochet. I am a visual learner. I can copy things pretty well.
Can you recommend a beginner book or something with good explanations?? I get that DC is double crochet , SC is single crochet etc. Directions written in words is so confusing.
You have beautiful designs and I would love to be able to make some of them.
FYI: I learned to crochet watching my Irish Grandmother making doilies out of STRING. This could be my first mistake!!!
Im Nadia, just saw on raverly.com amazing crochet lace "blue curacao" and i really like it! want to do the same! Please, can you help me and send me a scheme of how to do it! Thank you!
The design Blue Curacao is from my book, Amazing Crochet Lace (Potter Craft, 2006). Please see the book for the pattern in order to crochet this.
Hi Doris, I purchased a pattern of yours, Snowflake Beret from Interweave. In the instructions I am stuck on round 4. It states Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in first ch-sp. Ch 3.
Here's where I'm stuck (sh in the next ch3 sp, ch 3) what's sh? It doesn't have a translation in the glossary. I can't even begin to make something up at this point. Please help.
Doris I have purchased your cats cradle shrug pattern my question is I will wear a 2 in it but want to make the yoke like the red one you are wearing how do I do that? I don't want so many double crochet rows as the pattern calls for. I think the red one is more dressy and want to make this to wear to a wedding.
I do not give pattern support help on this blog; this type of comment format is too clumsy for detailed pattern explanations. Please join us at Ravelry.con, on the forum dedicated to my designs, Doris Chan:Everyday Crochet. If you own this pattern, then you will find this link in there. Thanks for your interest in this design and for your understanding.
Hi Doris, I really enjoy your work. I could have sworn I saw you on the street in Portland, OR a couple of weeks ago. Is that possible?
I really like the Draped In Lace Vest in the Spring 2013 issue of Crochet Magazine. I am having trouble reading the instructions. I wonder if you could help me in that in most patterns you stat with a chain this one does not have one. If you could clarify the pattern for me I would appreciate it.
Thank you, I got the info I needed at Crochet Talk. Now I will get busy making the vest.
Loved your work! I'm starting with crochet… always been a knitter, thank you so much for sharing your skill! Love from Argentina.
I'm a journalist writing for Simply Crochet magazine in the UK and I would love to carry out an email interview with you about your designs. Would that be possible?
Thank you so much for sharing your considerable talents with those like me of such limited ability – this site is absolutely inspirational!
hi,i m urvi from india.i love ur all crochet design.plz learn me lacy sweater pattern.
Doris Chan, you rock!! Just discovered your patterns when I checked out one of your books at the library. Now I want them all. I love your crochet lace patterns and the yarns you choose. Looking forward to your girls, teens, tweens patterns as I have 2 girls.
Doris – I have been searching in vain for the pattern for the pineapple edging as shown for the Long Version of your All Shawl. I have made the All Shawl several times with the edging as described in the download but would really love to be able to do the pineapple version.
Hey Joanne, The edging for the long version (blue) is the same edging. The edging stitch is a sort of mini-pineapple. It seems big because the gauge for the long version is exploded (loosened). Perhaps because the yarn is textured, and also because it is photographed with so much contrast, it looks different, but trust me, it's the same.
Dear Mrs. Chan… I love your patterns! I recently came across an amazing crochet dress, but cannot find the pattern – only diagrams. Is it one of yours? If not, how do I find the pattern in written form? It's called 'wildflower crochet dress'. One site says it's by Naomi k sills, but I found nothing else by her?
My name is Ben Perreira, I work for Harper's Bazaar.
Do you mind sending me an email?
Did you design the Crochet Lacy Cardigan pattern for Patternworks? I purchased the pattern and some yarn from Patternworks, but I have a question on how to start the pattern? Is there a way to reach you to just ask you a quick question about this. E-mail perhaps?
Hey Debbie, I do not answer pattern questions on this site. Please join us at Ravelry.com, a free site for fiber enthusiasts. After you've signed in, come to the group and forum dedicated to my designs, Doris Chan Crochet, and post your questions there. The posse will be along soon with answers! Thanks.
I am completely flabbergasted at your designs …. I started to crochet a year or so ago (now 61 years old), and what an inspiration you are!
Is there a pattern for the sailing rope look that you have at the top of your website …. I can thing of so many ways to use that as I have a lot of sailors in my family and it would make quite a lot of things look 'cool'!
Hi! I am doing a school project on crocheting and I need to contact an expert on it. Would you be willing to participate in an interview via email for my project? Thank you.
Doris, you are a true remarkable crochet genius! You're my favorite designer! I live crocheting and wearing your clothing designs. You're and amazing presense in the worls of crochet and we are all so blessed to have your talents leading the way to countless hours of joy, beauty and humor! I am disabled and therefore spent much of my time in a recliner crocheting. So, I want to thank you for helping me to keep my sanity and happiness in tact! God has blessed me with a wonderful husband and your talent to keep me going. Thank you!
Hello, Megan! I believe three ply would be appropriate for this design. Please take a look at the US list of yarn standards and guidelines here. Compare the information on the chart to the labels from the yarn you're considering. If your label has no crochet gauge, try comparing the knitting gauge. Generally, from what I understand, 4-ply is our medium worsted (CYCA ball band #4 Medium), aran is a heavier worsted. The yarn used for Zen is a sportweight, but a lofty one, between a CYCA #2 Fine and a #3 Light. It is also discontinued, to my dismay. But, whatever the charts and labels say, please use the yarn that best matches the stated gauge and hook, while giving you a fabric that you like. Sorry I cannot be more helpful!
Hello Ms Chan, I love your work and am having trouble finding pattern for the pink shawl at this page on Ravelry http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/crochet-shawl Could you please tell me how I can purchase it, online would be best as I'm in Australia. Thanks in anticipation.
Hey Sharyn, Thanks so much for your interest! A version of this shawl using sportweight (2 ply) instead of worsted weight (4 ply), with the same stitch pattern, featuring improved shape, is included in the pattern set DJC: Lotus Wings, an independent design available at DesigningVashti.com.
I would like to personally congratulate you as your blog Doris Chan Crochet has been selected by our panelist as one of the Top Knitting blogs on the web.
I personally give you a high-five and want to thank you for your contribution to this world. This is the most comprehensive list of top Knitting blogs on the internet and I'm honoured to have you as part of this!
My name is Emmanuel, I just want to let you know that you are a wonderful teacher and designer. I recently paid for your Top Down Seamless Crochet: the Workshop, from Interweave and I have successfully completed the sweater twice, for my wife and one of my daughters respectively. I was just wondering if you have any similar Tutorials or Workshop on how to construct men's crochet sweater? I will really love to crochet a well designed sweater for myself.
I love your patterns. The designs are always so elegant. I'm currently making the Galena sweater, and I have a question. Is there someplace where you have a question and answer section? Thanks.


What Is Pyure's Natural Flavor?
Due to the competitive nature of the stevia market, we're a little shy about our proprietary natural flavor's formula. Pyure's natural flavors are USDA Organic Compliant and does NOT include MSG, synthetics, GMO's, aspartame, sucralose, dextrose, saccharin, sugar, soy, animal excretions or bugs… (BUGS? Strange, we know, but yes, 'bugs' have been asked about in the past).


Home Cannabis CBD and Training: Is It an Ergogenic Aid?
If asked, I wonder what Dr. Butler would say about cannabidiol (CBD), or the combined use of CBD to supplement exercise? The market is booming with an array of choices for just about anybody's body – CBD tinctures, capsules, CBD-enriched protein powders, some of them full-spectrum, some with CBD only, each with their own claim on how CBD can provide therapeutic value. One niche is promoting the use of CBD as a supplement touted to give a better workout or active experience and help recover from exercise. It leads to more gains, right? Before we chalk it up to either the best thing since sliced bread, or opposite, the likes of a trendy fad diet, the concept of using CBD as a training aid deserves some scientific attention.
According to research, CBD may be anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, a 5-HT1a (serotonin receptor) agonist, and a GABA channel agonist. This means it may play a role in attenuating inflammation and associated pain, combat damage cellular structure, and reduce the effects of stress and mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. Physical activity is also a stress – not the way most people think about it unless you dislike it (then of course it's stressful!) But physiologically, exercise creates reactive oxygen species (ROS, similar to "free radicals"), causes inflammation and may leave you sore and fatigued. However, these are all necessary signals to tell your body to adapt and progress in training.
It seems like CBD would be a useful supplement for anyone who moves, whether it's a focused athlete or an active individual who suffers from chronic pain. What are the combined effects of CBD and training on the body? Does it assist with training gains, maintenance and/or recovery? The last thing a physically active individual desires is to kill the very chemical messengers that tell their body to increase muscle mass or improve their aerobic capacity because it would all be for nothing, and that's not an option. Let's take a look!
First thing's first. There are a LOT of factors that comprise physical activity. The health and fitness statuses vary among individuals, including how frequently they are active. Intensity of activity is important, and so is the duration of the workout. The type and purpose of exercise matters also. Going on daily walks, training for a marathon and powerlifting are three completely different modalities of exercise with different benefits and effects. All of them recruit different types of muscle fibers and use different types of fuel to provide energy to do work. (The aforementioned list of factors is known as the FITT principle, where FITT stands for Frequency Intensity Time and Type).
Understanding recovery is also important – if not more important, as you can't train if you don't recover. It involves replenishing and refueling the body, not just after a workout, but for the next one as well. In addition, getting adequate amounts of rest, not overtraining, and long term, adapting to all the chemical signals produced in response will all effect training gains.
Competing in a 5K and training for a long distance swim are examples of exercise modalities that each require a different utilization of the FITT principle.
Signalling Cascades – Don't Kill the Messenger!
CBD is a potent antioxidant. In fact, some research shows it may be more effective than vitamins C and E when it comes to providing protection against neurotoxic damage, and can assist in protecting the heart in diabetic cardiomyopathies. Antioxidants are very important as they keep ROS at bay, preventing damage to cell membranes and combating the onset of a host of age-related chronic diseases and cancers. To do so, our body produces its own endogenous antioxidants: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase to name three first-line defenders. We also get them from food (some vitamins, for example) and from cannabis, like CBD.
A similar mechanism may exist with inflammation. Like ROS, inflammation is also a signal to repair stressed tissue and synthesize more protein. A few studies have shown CBD to be a cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitor, therefore dampening the production of prostaglandins involved in the natural inflammatory response. This is the same target that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs use to work their magic. In addition, CBD may inhibit the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced post-workout, as well as tumor necrosis factor-ɑ (TNF-ɑ), another important inflammatory marker involved in training response. Unfortunately there exists supporting data showing that using NSAIDs to treat post-workout muscle soreness may inhibit adequate protein synthesis, slowing metabolic changes and adaptation to training. (Many actually think that NSAIDs are an ergogenic aid). CBD may have the same effects, as it has inhibitory effect on messengers important in acute and long-term training gains, although training studies on both healthy and sedentary adults need to be conducted.
CBD has been shown to be a COX-1 and -2 inhibitor.
CBD Still Has Potential, Maybe.
You may be discouraged at this point, but all may not be lost! Several studies on various disease states in cardiac and neural tissues have investigated the effects of CBD on the regulation of the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway. mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) is an important regulator of cellular metabolism, growth and survival. One of its roles is to signal skeletal muscle cells to increase protein synthesis in response to strength training, leading to strength gains and muscle hypertrophy. There are conflicting data, some suggesting that CBD downregulates this pathway, and others suggesting the opposite. If the latter is true, it may be a useful supplement to enhance protein synthesis, but the jury is certainly still out.
In addition, nitric oxide (NO) has an important role in maintaining vascular and cardiac tissue health, causing vasodilation (relaxation) when it is released as well as a cascade of responses to signal mitochondrial biogenesis in muscle. Exercise is a trigger for NO production, and there exists conflicting conclusions on CBD's role in stimulating or inhibiting its production.
At this stage in the game, there isn't a whole lot of information specifically on CBD and training. Overall, it is unclear the long-term effects of CBD use on physiological adaptation to exercise. It is certainly true that more research needs to be conducted, and of the body of evidence that exists, the majority of it is investigating its use in different disease states. What we could possibly conclude however, is for healthy adult athletes, CBD supplementation may have a negative impact on training progression. For active individuals using physical activity to improve or maintain health, without a training goal, and perhaps treat inflammation-related pain or other researched conditions, CBD may be just the thing you need to succeed.

Monarchs, Rulers, Dynasties and Kingdoms of the World: An Encyclopaedic Guide to More Than 13,000 Rulers and 1,000 Dynasties from 3000 BC to the 20th Century is a non-fiction work by R.F. Tapsell, published in 1983. It is a comprehensive record of kings, queens, sultans, and emperors all in a single volume. It includes many dynasties that are rarely described except in advanced studies of individual countries or regions. The relationship of each monarch to his or her predecessor is provided which enables the reader to construct a rudimentary family tree.

Structure
The book begins with a bibliography arranged by author's name in alphabetical order, followed by a Guide to Dynasties and States, a 150-page section giving brief descriptions and indicating where the related list(s) can be found. It is a good reference for finding the main rulers of a particular part of the world at various times. Tapsell briefly describes some royal family ties and attempts to help the reader locate many of the early realms of the world using the modern map, providing some history on each country or province. Minor criticisms of the book center on the complicated nature of locating exactly what is sought.

In the homily following the proclamation of the biblical readings on Sundays the preacher (usually, but not always, a priest) offers a brief spiritual commentary on the readings themselves. Here you can find some of the texts that the Rev. Dr. Gianluigi Gugliermetto, priest-in-charge of Christ Church at the present time, has prepared for delivery in the last few weeks. These homilies should be enjoyed after a careful reading of the corresponding biblical texts that are noted at the beginning of the homily and, in most cases, can be found here.

9of9"Airtime Hill" is a part of the Switchback ride at ZDT's Amusement Park in Seguin.
The sound of a roller coaster cranking up the first hill sends the blood coursing through riders' fingers and toes. Like suspenseful music in a movie, it builds anticipation for the thrills just ahead. As the coaster slowly climbs to the top of the track, everyone knows what's coming next: the leveling out, the turn, the split-second look straight down, and then - whoosh - they're gone, falling fast, their hearts rushing to keep up.
And then, screams - you can hear a lot of them in the little city of Seguin, about 36 miles northeast of San Antonio, where a unique wooden roller coaster called Switchback has opened at ZDT's Amusement Park.
Switchback is the only wooden shuttle coaster in the world. Unlike most coasters, which complete a circuit, a shuttle coaster goes the length of the track, then reverses, taking riders through the same thrills, backward.
"I came up with the idea of doing a shuttle wood coaster," said Danny Donhauser, who owns ZDT's with his wife, Sarah Donhauser, and their children, Zac, Danielle and Tiffany, whose initials give the park its name.
"My family said, 'Well, if a shuttle wood coaster hasn't been done, that's probably for a reason.' "
Donhauser contacted the Ohio-based wooden-coaster company Gravity Group, which assured him it could be done.
The short trains - just four cars holding eight riders - enabled Gravity Group to intensify the 80-second sensory rush with extremely tight turns and an "over-banked" 104-degree twist.
After the initial 62-foot drop, the train speeds in and out through an old building that was incorporated into the ride, turning and twisting as it tears into the over-banked curve. After swirling up and down and back around, the train then shoots up an 87-degree ramp, feeling like it's about to launch into the sky. Fortunately, that's when gravity takes over, and suddenly the train slides back down, repeating the experience in reverse. The ride includes several seat-lifting moments - coaster fans call them airtime.
Switchback's full route, out and back, is 2,125 feet.
Switchback has a dense steel structure but is classified as a wooden coaster because of its wood track, giving it the characteristics of a wooden coaster.
A switch-track at the end of the ride, like junctions used to move a train off a track, enables Switchback to run two trains at a time.
"With two trains going, we can run 300 people an hour," Donhauser said. "We're a small park. Our park will only accommodate about 2,000 people. So if 2,000 people are in the park, spread out, the coaster should never have too much of a line."
When Donhauser bought a 100-year-old building in the early 2000s, he envisioned opening a restaurant. But the idea morphed into a family amusement center, which opened in 2007. Today, the park has grown to 10 acres and has rides, indoor games, a climbing wall, incorporating existing genuine silos, a parachute drop, a two-level go-kart track and a three-ride water park.


Sharif El-Gamal's Soho Properties has broken ground on the luxury condo tower in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood, not far from the World Trade Center site.
The developer will add 220 units to Hamilton Greene in Mays Landing. Completion of the new component, The Glades at Hamilton Greene, is scheduled for 2021.

"…a high energy, nonstop, rock-n-roll trip into a strangely captivating world that's at the same time nightmarish and dreamlike, fun and unsettling…Much of the success of Lovelace: A Rock Opera's world premiere lies in the hands of the production team and director Ken Sawyer…the production has visual bang and propels forward beautifully." -BACKSTAGE WEST
"Ken Sawyer's well-staged production is fated to descend into hellish reds and writhing bodies, yet it's shot through with beauty and sometimes even hope…it's cathartic to watch (Linda Lovelace) stand strong and sing of her hard-fought independence before flashing lights that, in ironic defiance of the play's title, beam out her real name: Linda Boreman."=LA WEEKLY CRITIC'S CHOICE
"The direction is madly stylish!"-FRONTIERS MAGAZINE
"Lovelace: A Rock Opera is an ambitious project but, considering Waronker and Caffey's indelible score and blessed with the ever-imaginative staging of director Ken Sawyer, it should be on its way to becoming a great success."-ENTERTAINMENT TODAY
"The superb Ken Sawyer's vivid direction catches the nuances of the book and breaks the pounding rhythms of the porn world and the rock score into pulsing life… Waronker, Caffey, Sawyer and their excellent cast have found an ideal expression of the emotional and very physical truth of this story of an era where girls in Playboy bunny ears express porn's seepage into pop culture with horrifying visual imagery."-CURTAINUP.COM

KUALA LUMPUR, 28 Feb 2014 – Student activities are not merely planned to give them co-curriculum credits but mainly to build their characters, self-confidence and soft-skills.
Such skills are important to enable them to compete in the market place once they graduated, said Deputy Vice Chancellor (Student and Alumni Affairs), Prof Datin Noor Aziah Mohd Awal at the Tun Dr. Ismail Residential College (KTDI) of The National University of Malaysia (UKM) annual dinner here recently.
She congratulated students of the college which houses only medical students for being able to organise the function on their own and at a grand hotel.
Organising such an event would have given them the experience which they could not get during their classes but will teach them about team work, punctuality, time- management, money management, strategic planning and communications.
Prof Noor Aziah said such skills are important to enable them to compete at the national and international level after graduating. Employers now no longer look at academic achievements alone when hiring new employees, she said.
She reminded them to uphold the good name of UKM wherever they may serve.
Prof Noor Aziah later presented various Student Achievement Awards with the accolade being the Tun Dr. Ismail Award, where each year a senior student is singled out for his outstanding academic achievement, extra-curricular activities and contributions to the college or university or society.
College Principal Prof Dr Zulkifli bin Md Zainuddin was also present.


You've probably seen their colourful shoes all over social media, but the masterminds behind Eve & Kane have been working on their eponymous label for a number of years.
With mens, women's, and children's luxury loafers already under their belt, we spoke to one half of the creative design team, Gabi Levi to chat a little more in-depth about the entire process.
Where did the idea of Eve & Kane come from?
I had been working high end retail management for a while and felt uninspired. I have always been a creative person and into fashion – I would work all week to buy a pair of jeans!
But a lot of the fashion brands out there lacked quality and were unaffordable to the everyday person who wants to look stylish. I pitched the idea to my sister and few months later we launched Eve & Kane.
What are some of the main characteristics behind creating the trademark suede loafer?
Comfort is key when it comes to the driving loafer. Ours has always been to make quality, stylish pieces but still ensuring that our price remains affordable – so you don't have to limit yourself to only one pair of shoes or colour!
And how do you come up with the fabulous colours behind each shoe? They are mesmerising!
I would love to claim the credit, but we listen to our clients. Many of the colours have been by request from our loyal clients. I do take some creative liberties – for example, reverse cheetah horsehair was all me!
Could you tell us a bit about the design process? Where do you get your inspiration from?
The design process can be long since we are always striving to better our product. Our clients have told us that wearing our loafers are like walking on clouds but we want to make them even more comfortable, which at a certain point becomes challenging. Inspiration comes from everywhere – our clients, street style and my own personal preferences.
I often see something I love but wish it was slightly different, for example it was lighter or had some texture. Eve & Kane is sort of an outlet for those frustrations.
What kind of advice would you give to someone starting out in an industry like yours?
Believe in yourself and find others who believe in you. The hungrier you are the more success you will have.
What's next for Eve & Kane in 2015?
We work each day to bring the best products to our clients at an affordable price and will continue to offer new products in 2015. Without giving too much away, you should expect more sneakers, slippers, boots and some crazy colour ways.

Erb's palsy claims
Home For You Medical negligence claims Birth injury claims Erb's palsy claims
Guide to making a claim
What is Erb's palsy?
Erb's palsy cases are often complex and technical, requiring specialist medico legal knowledge to pursue. Erb's palsy can be a severely debilitating condition with life long implications. At Royds Withy King our dedicated team of lawyers will strive to help you find out what went wrong during the birth and whether the brachial plexus injury could have been avoided. We work with leading medical experts in the field of obstetrics, midwifery and orthopaedics in meticulously investigating cases to achieve compensation for our clients.
Will the hospital treat me any differently if I make a claim?
Is there a time limit to bring a claim?
How much compensation will I receive?
How long will the process take?
How is a claim funded?
Helping you ascertain what happened?
Although shoulder dystocia is not predictable, the risks of it occurring can be higher for some women (for example if the baby is known to be particularly large for dates or if the mother has gestational diabetes). As such, medical staff are under a duty to advise of all the risks in proceeding with a normal birth as against having a caesarean section so that the mother can make an informed decision on the mode of delivery.
Shoulder dystocia is a medical emergency and all medics should have in-depth and regular training on its management so as to try to avoid the occurrence of brachial plexus injuries. Common failures include the omission of key obstetric manoeuvres to alleviate the obstruction or the application of excessive traction in trying to deliver the fetal head.
Making an Erb's palsy claim
If you or your child has Erb's Palsy you'll doubtless have concerns about ensuring that you can manage into the future and are striving to have as best a quality of life as possible. Our experienced medical negligence team can focus quickly on the key issues in the case and proceed to instruct our trusted independent medical experts to provide their opinions on the care provided and the cause of the brachial plexus injury.
Read our guide on what you need to know about making an Erb's palsy compensation claim here:
Compensation funds to give a better quality of life
By acting for you or your child in an Erb's palsy claim we can help make sure that you receive compensation that could help with a better quality of life. This might be through regular physiotherapy or the support of an occupational therapist or to allow for specialist surgery to be performed privately. The compensation could also provide appliances that make day to day tasks easier, such as opening garage doors, hanging out washing or preparing food.
How solicitors can help with Erb's Palsy
Paul Rumley of Royds Withy King solicitors explains how solicitors can help those with Erb's Palsy.

Typical examples of Erb's Palsy cases
Paul Rumley, a birth injury specialist at Royds Withy King solicitors, takes us through some of the more...
"I would like to thank Paul Rumley for his excellent representation of my case. He was extremely sympathetic and compassionate and kept me well informed on all aspects. I felt very much at ease talking to him, directly or on the phone. I would highly recommend him on medical issues and would certainly come to Royds Withy King again for any future legal services"
Mrs N. Pearson, Weston-super-Mare
What injuries are usually suffered as a result of shoulder dystocia?
Shoulder dystocia, if not properly managed, can cause an injury to the brachial plexus nerve. If this injury is permanent it usually results in Erb's palsy. The nature and the extent of the Erb's palsy will vary dependent on the nerve damage suffered. The general classification of the injury is into Groups:
Group 1: paralysis of shoulder and biceps
Group 2: paralysis of shoulder, biceps, and wrist extensors
Group 3: paralysis of entire limb
Group 4: paralysis of entire limb with temporary Horner's sign
Group 5: paralysis of entire limb with persistent Horner's sign and poor recovery.
The impact of an injury will dependent upon its severity, however it usually results in significant restriction of movement which can be detrimental to every day life, particularly if the dominant arm is affected.
When may I or my child have a case?
If you consider that you would not have had a vaginal birth because of risk factors or if you consider that the shoulder dystocia itself was negligently managed it is important to seek specialist legal advice.
There is new case law which rules that if you were at increased risk of shoulder dystocia occurring during the birth then those risk factors should have been discussed with you so that you could decide whether to have a caesarean section or not. You would need to prove that you would have chosen the option of a caesarean instead of a vaginal birth by explaining the reasons for this.
There are particular emergency obstetric manoeuvres and steps which must be undertaken when shoulder dystocia occurs; these steps will be dependant on when the birth occurred as medical knowledge and training has advanced over time. Our medical experts will fully advise on the standard of care received.
The length of time it takes to pursue a claim is very variable and there is no fixed pathway. The progression of the case will depend on the individual circumstances of each claim and the complexities involved. It will also depend on whether the Defendant in the case admits liability at an early stage or whether the case is fought. We always seek to progress matters as quickly as possible but on average it takes 1-2 years to establish liability in the case. We will keep you fully informed and updated throughout the process.
What does the compensation pay for?
The compensation will provide damages for pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life (known as general damages). It will also provide compensation for specific financial losses (known as special damages). Special damages will include a claim for items such as loss of earnings, the costs of private medical treatment and surgery, adaptations to the home, physiotherapy and aids and equipment.
How can I fund the case?
Erb's Palsy cases are still covered by the Legal Services Agency who provide public funding (a Legal Aid Certificate) to cover the costs of investigating and pursuing a claim. Withy King holds a franchise for Legal Aid work and can fully advise you on your funding options.

The 'Effect' of New Zealand's Electoral Formula on the Proportion of Women in Parliament
20 July 2013 ~ Didier Ruedin
New Zealand's change of electoral system from majoritarian to proportional representation is often hailed as an example of how PR systems are beneficial for getting more women into parliament. Indeed, the number of women elected in the 1996 election increased more than in any other election in New Zealand, leading many to attribute this change to the change in electoral system.
However, when the time span under consideration is increased to include historical election results, the suggestion that the change in electoral system helped to increase the number of women in national parliament is no longer as clear as in a simple before-after comparison.
The proportion of women in the New Zealand parliament started to increase in the 1970s. Between 1978 and 1993, the proportion of women in parliament increased in a relatively linear fashion, increasing at a rate of 3% per election (red trend line).
In 1996, the first time the new electoral system was used (PR), the proportion of women elected into parliament increased noticeably more than in previous elections (8%). In the election that followed, the proportion of women in parliament could not be increased, and for the three most recent elections (results for 2011 are not included in the plot: 32.2% women; they actually corroborate my case), the proportion was around what one would have expected based on the historical trend between 1978 and 1993.
If there were an effect attributable to the electoral system on its own, it is unclear why we did not observe a linear increase in the proportion of women in New Zealand's parliament since 1996 (green trend line). In this case, the large increase in 1996 would constitute the "penalty" of having had a non-PR system. However, if the majoritarian system was acting as an impediment to including more women in national parliament, the results of the past three elections seem inexplicably low.
I argue that we cannot attribute the change in the proportion of women in New Zealand's parliament to a change of the system with any confidence. This does not mean that electoral systems are irrelevant, but a more cautious approach should be taken when making causal statements.
Note: This is an elaboration of a point I make in my monograph on political representation I've meant to post for a long time.

Sometimes things may be so gloomy it's hard to see the light.
I may not be able to cheer you up now, but I'll be here for you.
:`) Does the Cat Have A Name?
At the time we were still deciding, but the now official name is Barnaby.
Sometimes people just need a little love.
So, thanks, and keep up the good work.
Yeah. That. People should do that.
I LOVE this comic. I try to be a bit more like Ichabod every day!
Such great comic series. Keep up the great work!
Also, do you accept donations?
But if you want to do a one time do it to ayla_stardragon at Yahoo.com for paypal.
I still need to find out how to make a donation link/button and post that up.
A friend linked me to these comics when he saw I was having a bad day. I just wanted to thank you so much for making these, particularly this one and the one about the cloudy skies. They're helping me get through the day more than I can explain. So thank you, truly.
I just wanna say I really appericate the portrayal of Barnaby not sure if its official but it appears he has depression and as someone suffering through it it feels really accurate to see how he deals with it and how Ichabod helps him cope sometimes.
While I don't know the cat's story, I can definately relate to how he feels lately. .
Is that pinkie pie's dog?
This. This right here. This is the best in the entire series. This is what a true friend is like. This is goodwill and the perfect example of kindheartedness. I love this series, but this page in particular.

I'm the author of the Kate Daniels series, the Ryan & O'Neil thrillers, and the Stone & Oliver series of police procedurals. In 2010, I was the proud recipient of a Northern Writers' Award before I was published. In November 2013, I won the Polari First Book Prize for my debut, THE MURDER WALL, the first in the Kate Daniels series which has since been optioned for TV by Sprout Pictures. For my body of work, I won the CWA Dagger in the Library 2017.
Living in a small Northumberland village with my partner, a former murder detective, I became a writer after my career as a Probation Officer was cut short following an assault on duty. I tried different forms of writing before settling on prose. For several years, I was a scriptwriter with an eye on a career in film or TV. This took off when I pitched a crime pilot to the BBC based on the characters in my then unfinished debut novel THE MURDER WALL, winning a place on the BBC's North East Voices Drama Development Scheme, adapting the script to a crime novel when it ended.
That award-winning book and seven others were published by Pan Macmillan before I moved to Orion in 2017. My ninth book THE LOST, the first in a series featuring DI David Stone and DS Frankie Oliver, was published in the spring. The tenth – THE INSIDER – is due for publication on Nov 1, 2018.
As Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival Reader-in-Residence I look forward to welcoming readers to Harrogate in July and hope you'll have time to join me for the festival's Big Read event.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has named Chaitan Baru, a Distinguished Scientist at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, Senior Advisor for Data Science in the agency's Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate (CISE).
Baru was Associate Director for Data Initiatives at SDSC, and is now on assignment in his new position with the NSF in the greater Washington DC area. He will serve as advisor to the CISE Directorate, assisting in cross-directorate and interagency efforts pertaining to what has become known as 'Big Data', or what the NSF describes as "large, diverse, complex, longitudinal, and/or distributed datasets generated from instruments, sensors, Internet transactions, email, video, click streams, and/or all other digital sources available today and in the future."
Baru was also director of SDSC's Center for Large-scale Data Systems Research (CLDS), an industry-sponsored Center of Excellence focused on technology and technology management issues related to big data, and director of his research group at SDSC, called the Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Development Group (ACID). He joined SDSC in 1996.
"The term 'big data' has become ubiquitous," said Baru. "It really refers to linking data to decisions by extracting valuable information from both massive data sets as well as large amounts of smaller, heterogeneous data sets. The applications are characterized by the need to provide timely analytics while dealing with large data volumes, high data rates, and a wide range of data sources. This phenomenon is now part of every sector and function of the global economy."
CISE, one of seven NSF directorates, supports investigator-initiated research in all areas of computer and information science and engineering and fosters broad interdisciplinary collaboration. Specifically, the directorate has four goals:
To enable the U.S. to uphold a position of world leadership in computing, communications, and information science and engineering;
To promote understanding of the principles and uses of advanced computing, communications and information systems in service to society;
To support and provide advanced cyberinfrastructure to enable and accelerate discovery and innovation across all disciplines; and
To contribute to universal, transparent and affordable participation in an information-based society.
"We are thrilled to have Chaitan serving as our first Senior Advisor for Data Science," said Suzi Iacono, the acting assistant director of NSF CISE. "Chaitan's expertise and leadership are critical to the science and engineering enterprise as data science has become increasingly important."
"I am delighted by Chaitan's appointment at the NSF," said SDSC Director Michael Norman. "He has been instrumental in shaping and implementing SDSC's strategic direction when it comes to data-enabled science, which has emerged as a key differentiator in creating value for both academic researchers as well as commercial enterprises. These initiatives have in turn significantly expanded SDSC's data-centric initiatives by leveraging advancements in high-performance computing and data analysis to promote collaborative research and discovery. The NSF is fortunate to have his vision and leadership."
More information on the NSF's CISE Directorate can be found on the NSF website.
As an Organized Research Unit of UC San Diego, SDSC is considered a leader in data-intensive computing and cyberinfrastructure, providing resources, services, and expertise to the national research community, including industry and academia. Cyberinfrastructure refers to an accessible, integrated network of computer-based resources and expertise, focused on accelerating scientific inquiry and discovery. SDSC supports hundreds of multidisciplinary programs spanning a wide variety of domains, from earth sciences and biology to astrophysics, bioinformatics, and health IT. With its two newest supercomputers, Trestles and Gordon, and a new system called Comet to be deployed in early 2015, SDSC is a partner in XSEDE (Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment), the most advanced collection of integrated digital resources and services in the world.

Ozone Pools and Outdoor Living completed our rather extensive backyard project, complete with pool, fireplace, spa, retaining walls and patio. Throughout the entire process, Dan was amazing as he addressed all of our questions quickly, and his insights were extremely helpful. The project was completed in the time frame promised and has well exceeded our expectations! Whenever anyone comes over they are completely "wowed" by our backyard – many stating it is the best they have ever seen. If considering any outdoor work, you would be sorry not to call Ozone Pools and Outdoor Living first!

A prince or a princess?
Stumbled across this little beastie on the evening walk with Boris. Do you know if it's a frog or a toad? What type? To appeal to readers of a Fantasy bent would it turn into a prince or princess if it were kissed?

De verzameling manuscripten van Timboektoe omvatten zo'n 700.000 handschriften waarvan de oudste uit de 11e eeuw stammen. Deze worden bewaard door verschillende families in privébibliotheken en in woonhuizen.

In de tijd dat de stad een handelscentrum was kwamen de manuscripten in de stad terecht. Ze werden een geliefd ruilmiddel. De meeste van deze documenten zijn in het Arabisch geschreven. Andere gebruikte talen zijn Songhai en de Toearegtalen. De onderwerpen zijn divers, en gaan onder andere over de islam, wetenschappen, recht, geneeskunde, poëzie en astrologie. De documenten kwamen uit alle hoeken van de Arabische wereld. De documenten werden niet alleen gekocht. De manuscripten die doorreisden werden gekopieerd waardoor Timboektoe een centrum van de wetenschap werd.

In 1591 werd de stad geplunderd door het leger van Ahmad al-Mansur, de sultan van Marokko. De meeste documentencollecties werden geplunderd en een groot aantal geleerden werd meegenomen naar Marokko. De bewoners wisten slechts een deel van de documenten achter te houden. De collecties raakten hierna versnipperd.

Tegenwoordig verkeren veel van deze documenten in slechte staat. In Timboektoe zijn drie privébibliotheken gevestigd waar de documenten worden geconserveerd. De Universiteit van Kaapstad en de Universiteit van Oslo hebben projecten lopen om de manuscripten te conserveren en te digitaliseren. Een klein aantal manuscripten is digitaal opvraagbaar bij de Library of Congress en de Digitale wereldbibliotheek.

NEW LP 1000 POUNDS OF Oi! OUT ON MAY 10th!
"They called us 1000 Pounds of Oi! when we first hit the stage. No one could have known the fire in our hearts. We play it hard. We play it true. It's all we wanna do. So, come along and we'll do it just for you!"
This remarkable band, arguably the biggest band in Oi!, couldn't have led off their new album with a more fitting synopsis of why they've been so loved for the last decade. Relentless, they never give up. They never give in. Only their third proper full-length amidst a dozen singles and EP's, this in-your-face contribution to the world of streetpunk and Oi! is hands-down their finest work to date.
While some of the band members may have slimmed down a touch, their sound is bigger and fatter and hookier than ever! Never without a poignant message for the working class, these guys have delivered in prime fashion one of the best Bay Area streetpunk albums released in a long time!
These 10 songs are a pulse-pounding, thought-provoking, scathing critique of the status quo, and an empowering call-to-arms for people to come together as a community and society, to resist against all forms of oppression!
An uplifting message to the working class is what fans of Harrington Saints have come to expect and revel in – and with this album, they deliver 1000 POUNDS of it, and more!

If this writer has one bone to pick with Lashley and Illuminator, it's that the album is too damned short. From start to all-too-early finish, the melodies catch you pretty quickly. – Dying Scene
…sometimes an album is so good it grabs you, holds you spellbound and immobile until it is finished with you. And then you hit the play button again. You want to tell everyone about this album, so that you can talk about it with them, so you can see that experience play over their faces, but you are trapped. Lenny Lashley's album, Illuminator, is one of these. – Big Wheel Magazine
…this album, this lonely and brilliant thing, the hard-won concord he's able to anthemize, the desolation he balladates–he gives it his therapy, he trusts his zen assets, his songs, to a world/audience/void he knows isn't going to fix much for him, but it's still stabilizing to try–still a flexing of trust like what happens after finally seeing your parents as mortal, mistaken people, or watching a loved one move out, or standing by while a career demystifies without reward–it all comes back to you and things you can't keep from admitting to yourself and finding a strength you can build with after that deconstruction. – Nine Bullets
On first listen those who hear "Hooligans" will recognize the song for precisely what it is: a classic indie rock anthem in the Replacements and Gaslight Anthem tradition but with a distinctly Bostonian flavor. – Hellbound

Q: Perl. Working with two inputs from a directory I'm working with perl. I have a lot of files which are named ????_header.xml (e.g. 0001_header.xml, 0002_header.xml, and so on) and a lot of files named ????_text.xml (e.g. 0001_text.xml, ...). All this files are saved inside a folder called "input".
On the other side, I have a folder called "output". I need to edit some data from the both kind of inputs (header and text) and save the edition in a ".txt" file. But I need one ".txt" file for each pair (header.xml plus text.xml). For instance, I need to read the file 0001_header.xml, do some editions, read the file 0001_text.xml, do some editions, print all editions in a ".txt file" and save it in the output folder. And so on...
In other words, I need to work with two inputs simultaneously and print the result in a different third file.
I tried with this:
use strict;
use warnings;

opendir IN, 'input';
my @lines1 = grep { /header.xml$/ } readdir IN;
closedir IN;

opendir IN, 'input';
my @lines2 = grep { /text.xml$/ } readdir IN;
closedir IN;

for my $lines1 (@lines1) {
open IN, '<', "input/$lines1" || next;
open OUT, '>', "output/$lines1" || die "can't open file output/$lines1";
while(<IN>) {
#to do several modifications
}
close IN;
}

for my $lines2 (@lines2) {
open IN, '<', "input/$lines2" || next;
open OUT, '>', "output/$lines2" || die "can't open file output/$lines2";
while(<IN>) {
#to do several modifications
print OUT;
}
close OUT;
close IN;
}

My problem is that I do not know how to manage my outputs. That is, how to save the modifications from the inputs in a .txt file output. Any suggestion?

A: Something like this should make it clearer.
The input directory is read, and whenever a header file is found the corresponding text file name is constructed (with the same number). If this also exists then an output file is opened in the output directory with the same number as the input files and a .txt extension, and the two input file are opened and processed.
Note that all this does is copy the header and the text file contents to the output file. You will want to do more to the data before you print it.
use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie;

opendir my $dh, 'input';

while (my $file = readdir $dh) {
  next unless $file =~ /\A(\d{4})_header.xml\z/;

  my $header_name = $file;
  my $text_name = "$1_text.xml";
  next unless -f "input/$text_name";

  open my $output, '>', "output/$1.txt";

  open my $hdr_in, '<', "input/$header_name";
  while (<$hdr_in>) {
    print $output $_;
  }
  close $hdr_in;

  open my $txt_in, '<', "input/$text_name";
  while (<$txt_in>) {
    print $output $_;
  }
  close $txt_in;

  close $output;

  warn "Output file 'output/$text_name' written\n";
}

A: Here is a solution that I think keeps things elegant. Please let me know if I did not fully answer your question.
I put the leading numbers of the filename into a hash as the keys, and put both files into that hash element. This keeps the two related files paired.
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $dir = "./"; #or your directory

opendir(my $dh, $dir) or die "$!";

my %files;
while(my $file = readdir($dh)){
    if(my ($key) = $file =~ /^(.+?)_(header|text)\.xml$/){
            push @{ $files{$key} }, $file;
    }
}

for my $key (keys %files){
    for(@{ $files{$key} }){
        if(/header\.xml$/) { short_open($_, \&dostuff_header) }
        elsif(/text\.xml$/) { short_open($_, \&dostuff_text) }
    }
}

sub short_open {
    my ($filename, $sub) = @_;
    open my $fh, '<', $dir . $filename or die "$!";
    open my $out, '>', $dir . $filename . "out.xml" or die "$!"; #replace $dir and remove out.xml, I used them for my own testing

    while (my $line = <$fh>){
        print $out $sub->($line);
    }
}

sub dostuff_text {
    my ($text) = @_;
    #do stuff with text lines
    return $text;
}

sub dostuff_header {
    my ($header) = @_;
    #do stuff with header lines
    return $header;
}

Only uses 1 loop to get the input data and 1 loop to do the output data.
I moved the actual work into two functions, so essentially every action that they both do similarly, line open is typed only once.

A: I am not sure of the kinds of operations you are performing on files, however since they are xml, consider reading them in with an xml parser like XML::Fast. That will give you a hash of xml content (or two hashes, one for each file). Then you can perform any kind of operations on both hashes and then combine them and just convert the hash back to xml and print it to a single file.


Hey lovelies, how have you all been? I've been great actually! I've truly lived by my words of doing my best to "live my best life, all summer '18". I've been listening to more music, relaxing and I think I might start reading again… Anyways, festival season is literally around the corner and I'm so excited! The Wireless Festival was a definite must from me, but obviously tickets sold out in minutes and I had to settle for Longitude (Irish version of the Wireless Festival).
Of course, I got my tickets for Longitude within seconds, I learnt my lesson the first time lol. I honestly cannot wait to do some festival looks and see some of my favorite artists. Are any of you attending? Hopefully Ireland will keep on baking with the amazing sunshine we've been getting.
ChicMe we're so kind enough to gift me a few pieces including this jumpsuit/heels below. Honestly such a comfy pair of heels alongside this light-weight jumpsuit which is perfect for this amazing weather. Have a look below guys!
Btw, I titled this Nonstop because I've been listening to Drakes new album, so far so good. Nonstop, Final fantasy and Summer games are my current faves, what are yours?

New Orleans City Council members hear from emotional crowd at crime conference
On Wednesday, city council members heard calls for action from residents.
New Orleans — Crime is closer to home for many in New Orleans.
"When you have to go to the gas station with a gun on your hip, when you have to go to the grocery store with a gun in your pocket, it's a war zone," said one man.
"Where's the facility?" said the woman. "Where is NORD? We need facilities like NORD. NORD changed my life as a child.
Another neighbor believes education is the key.
"We have gun control," another resident testified. "There's this, and there's that. We're doing the same crazy, insane thing over and over again."
A special conference on crime is held at a time when the city is experiencing its highest murder rate since 1996.
Council crime analyst Jeff Asher outlined crime trends for 2022. Assaults, armed robberies, car thefts, and vehicle robberies all point to double-digit increases for him year over year.
"New Orleans has consistently high levels of gun violence and homicide," Usher said. "Really, in 2022, he's reached a level he hasn't seen since Hurricane Katrina."
Emotions ran high in the chamber as tempers flared in the crowd.
The meeting had to be interrupted several times to get things under control.
One woman was handcuffed and others were removed from the meeting by police.
City council members responded to some of the crowd's concerns.
City Council Speaker JP Morrell said, "People saw the conflict and the rising voices today as chaos, but what I see is the suffering of communities." "People are suffering."
Councilors have proposed a series of measures to address what they call the "crime epidemic."
They touched on topics such as responsible gun ownership, school truancy, and juvenile curfews.
New Orleans health director Dr. Jennifer Avegno called violent crime a public health crisis for the city.
She said data show homicide is the fourth leading cause of death among black men in New Orleans.
"I don't think we can tolerate other diseases that have had such deadly consequences by intentionally targeting some of our communities," Dr. Avegno said. From our point of view, this is no exception."
Alderman Oliver Thomas made a finer point about the crisis, saying that crime knocks on all doors, including his own.
"There have been 57 bullets in my family, one of our family's cars, in the last few months," Thomas said.
Most of the anti-crime measures proposed at the conference will be discussed in various council committees at a later date.

This was the very first "panel" at the very first Heroes & Villains Fan Fest which was held at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose California during the weekend of November 21-22, 2015. It was a smaller convention with everything happening in one area of the convention center. There were a few vendors (including the famous Psycho Donuts), air soft gun target practice, some sort of bungee bouncer, and a small zip line for the guests as well as a laser tag area (for an additional fee) in another room. There was also a small kids zone with a room for gaming.
The first panel was called "Super Charades," and I wasn't sure what to expect because there weren't any specifics about it in he program/schedule. I did see that Neal McDonough was scheduled to participate, and he wasn't listed to be on any of the other panels, so we went to check it out.
I'm so very glad we did, because it was a game of charades played by two teams consisting of Christina Wren and John Barrowman on one team with Willa Holland and Neal McDonough on the other. Two audience members were invited to participate, with a young boy chosen to be on the Barrowman/Wren team and a lady chosen for the McDonough/Holland team.
I only recorded video of the actual game play, but there was plenty of smack talk between plays between the two teams.
The best was when Neal McDonough asked for some strong guys to come up to the stage (stage left), and he stage dived! John Barrowman, never one to miss an opportunity, also dived into the audience, followed by Willa who wasn't going to let the men have all of the fun. Unfortunately, I only managed to get decent photos of John Barrowman's stage dive.
I think this was a great way to start the con as it definitely set the tone for the rest of the weekend. The panels were fun and loose, with other guests making surprise appearances (which will be mentioned in those panels' posts) or distracting the panelists. If you haven't seen John Barrowman's videos from that weekend, I highly recommend you head to his Facebook page and check them out.
This was my first time getting to see the Fashion Show Le Geek So Chic puts on. It was definitely fun, and there were quite a few items I need to get for myself. I took so many pictures that I put them in a video slideshow.
I'm in love with this color changing skirt from Unicorn Sushi!
I also loved some of the boots, but I didn't catch the company's name. Boo!
I'm just starting to consider everyday cosplay ideas for work. I rarely shop for clothes, but now I will with cosplay in mind.


Brian Marquis has decided to drop off of the Vans Warped Tour due to hospitalization. Marquis states "I fought a little lightning and won. " in an instagram post. Check out the post he left on a private warped tour group wall below. You can buy concert tickets here, and purchase a CD here.
"I appreciate everyone's well wishes but I am having a tough time processing what I went through and to avoid rehashing this awful experience over and over for myself I'll explain what happened so everyone can understand what went down because it's hard to keep telling for me. A storm was coming and the Warped crowd was evacuated to the amphitheater until it passed. Well, the storm came really quick and extremely strong and fast. Within a few minutes we were in ankle deep water and winds kicked up so bad both my stage's tent poles were bent over like 45 degrees and appeared like they were going to fly away and all our gear, crew and artists would be compromised. I grabbed onto one of the tent poles to stop the tent from blowing away, as did some other people and lightning struck somewhere in close proximity and traveled through either the tent pole, the water I was in or the ground – no idea – but it wasn't a direct hit to my body. I felt a strong shock go through my hands burning them and sending me back a few feet. It was so chaotic I just tried to keep securing the tent and I went to unhitch the tent wall and that's when my heart felt like it was going to explode. Then I couldn't feel my hands, then I couldn't feel my arms, then my chest hurt and was tight and I was having trouble breathing. Honestly, I thought I was on my way out. Thankfully I had some of the most amazing friends, crew, medical and security staff right by my side immediately and they helped me hang on until the ambulance came. After a few hours at the hospital my heart got back to normal. All my tests came back normal after a few iv bags of fluids and steroids to protect my organs and some aspirin. The nerves in 2 of my finger tips feel burnt, my left hand is semi numb, my left arm is sore, tingly and tight, my chest is tight and basically my whole body feels like every muscle was flexed for a long time. I am experiencing some intense anxiety that I am not used to and I am trying to rest and get back to normal while I await for my super powers to be revealed. I hope this helps alleviate questions and concerns.

measure auditory processing that I've ever seen."
- We have developed a screening tool which allows anyone to screen very accurately for important auditory processing areas on anyone suspected of a problem. This is recommended for anyone who is having educational difficulties, reading problems, language delays, difficulties following classroom instruction, or similar. The tool must be used through an iPad and any set of stereo headphones that go over the ear.
- This is for AUDIOLOGISTS only. It provides a comprehensive evaluation in many areas and compares these results to same aged peers giving indications of performance in Standard Deviation.
