Q: How to implement required validiation in md-select using custom directive template for md-select in angularJS? I am setting up custom template for md-select using custom directive but form validiation and required validiation is not working. This is for refactoring template of md-select using custom directive as md-custom-select.
I have created template of md-select in custom directive passing models and lists for dropdown and also required attr. The main problem for this custom directive is , it doesnot validiate form.
I am converting :

    <md-select  required ng-model="vm.Search.ParentDivisionID" ng-change="vm.GetDivisionIDList()">
                                            <md-option ng-value="item.ID" ng-repeat="item in vm.ParentDivisionList">
                                                {{item.Name}}
                                            </md-option>
                                        </md-select>

TO:
<md-custom-select ng-model="vm.Search.ParentDivisionID" list="vm.ParentDivisionList" ng-required="true" ng-change="vm.GetDivisionIDList(vm.Search.ParentDivisionID)"></md-custom-select>

     (function () {
        'use strict';
        window.app.directive('mdCustomSelect', mdCustomSelect);
        mdCustomSelect.$inject = ['$compile'];
        function mdCustomSelect($compile) {
            var styleTemplate = "<style>\
            md-checkbox#checkAllBox{\
                margin: 16px 0px 10px 5px;\

                    $scope.valChanged = function () {
                        valueChanged = true;
                        // for ng-change
                        $scope.ngModelCtrl.$setViewValue($scope.ngModel);
                    }
                    $scope.mdOpen = function () {
                        valueChanged = false;
                    }
                    $scope.mdClose = function () {
                        if (typeof $scope.mdOnClose === 'function') $scope.mdOnClose();
                        if (valueChanged) {
                            if (typeof $scope.mdChangeOnClose === 'function') $scope.mdChangeOnClose();
                        }
                    }
                }]
            }
        }
    })();

My expected result from this is it should work for form validiation.


For almost 20 years, Honda has produced one of the best-selling crossover SUVs—the popular CR-V—consistently delivering the right blend of utility, value, and dependability.
No doubt, American drivers love crossovers, and they love Honda's version the best. Toyota may mewl and protest over that statement, but unlike the RAV4, the CR-V is sold only to consumers and not to car rental and government vehicle fleets, which artificially boost the Toyota's sales figures.
With the 2019 Honda CR-V, the automaker doesn't mess with success. The only change is a new exterior color choice. Good thing the CR-V is such a likeable vehicle in the first place. Despite its stasis, it remains a pleasure to use as a daily driver.
For this review, we evaluated a 2019 Honda CR-V Touring equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD). The price came to $35,195, including the $1,045 destination charge.
Before we discuss the results of our evaluation of the 2019 Honda CR-V, it's helpful to understand who buys this compact SUV and what they like most and least about it.
Women buy half of all compact SUVs, according to J.D. Power data. However, 55% of CR-V buyers are men. They're older, too, with a median age of 62 (vs. 58 for the segment) and enjoy a greater median annual household income ($94,483 vs. $91,270). Just 27% of CR-V buyers identify themselves as members of Gen X (those born 1965-1976) or Gen Y (1977-1994), compared with 39% for the segment.
Generally speaking, Honda CR-V buyer sentiments about their vehicle align with those of all compact SUV buyers. They are, however, more or less likely to strongly agree or disagree about certain aspects.
For instance, CR-V buyers are more likely to strongly agree that they avoid vehicles that they think will have high maintenance costs (74% vs. 67%), that quality of workmanship is a first consideration when choosing a new vehicle (55% vs. 48%), and that reliability is a first consideration when choosing a new vehicle (71% vs. 65%).
Honda CR-V buyers are also more likely to strongly agree that they'll pay extra for the latest safety features (33% vs. 28%), and are more likely to agree that fuel economy is a first consideration when choosing a new vehicle (73% vs. 68%). At the same time, CR-V buyers are less likely to strongly agree that they like a vehicle offering responsive handling and powerful acceleration (35% vs. 39%), and less likely to agree that they like a vehicle that stands out from the crowd (61% vs. 65%).
Buyers say their favorite things about the CR-V are (in descending order) the driving dynamics, exterior styling, storage and space, seats, and interior design. Buyers indicate their least favorite things about the CR-V are (in descending order) the visibility and safety, engine/transmission, climate system, infotainment system, and fuel economy.
The CR-V presents a good look for Honda, one that is clean yet playful.
The unmistakable Honda family grille, chromed so that you can't possibly miss it, and pugnacious front bumper give the SUV a determined appearance, while the kinked edges of the hood add extra visual flair. Wrapping into the sides, these styling elements draw the eye to a tidy tail that looks a little bit sporty and a little bit upscale.
I do, however, dislike the Touring's 18-in. wheel design, which resembles a fidget spinner gone mad.
My test vehicle had an Ivory leather interior, which not only contrasted nicely with the CR-V's black dashboard but also made the cabin seem bigger than it is. So equipped, the CR-V Touring's cabin possesses an upscale look and feel, even if at the same time evidence of the SUV's affordable base price is apparent.
The CR-V's driver's seat is the premier one of the house, thanks to 12-way power adjustment, good bolstering and cushioning, and a heated cushion. The front passenger's seat mirrors these qualities, but is limited to 4-way adjustment. Because the seat is mounted fairly low, this results in an uncomfortable and unflattering splayed leg seating position.
In the rear, there's generous room for two, and even three can ride in the back with nary a shrug. The people riding back there will appreciate the two USB ports and air conditioning vents, too.
With two knobs and clearly marked buttons, the CR-V's dual-zone automatic climate control system is simple to use, and effective at warding off the chill on cold, rainy days.
Buyers cite the CR-V's infotainment system as their second least favorite aspect of the SUV, and I can't say that I blame them. The small 7-in. display seems teensy in comparison to more modern systems, and the touch-screen menus have small graphics that require too much of your attention to use with precision while you're driving.
Response time to inputs is also rather slow, and programming the navigation system requires more effort than should be necessary. At least it has standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, which means you can bypass Honda's lagging tech in favorite of Apple and Google.
The power/volume knob is helpful, although I always prefer to also have a tuning knob to use. Once you've set your favorite radio stations, though, it is easy to retrain yourself to use the steering wheel controls.
Go ahead, bring it. The Honda CR-V makes it easy to organize your belongings, with plenty of room in the center console and glove box, along with useful little bins around the cabin. The door bins are generous and useful too.
With the rear seats in use, you'll have 39.2 cu. ft. of cargo space. Fold them down and you'll get 75.8 cu. ft., which is one of the biggest measurements in the compact crossover segment and is in fact similar to what many midsize SUVs supply.
The CR-V's driver's seat offers a good vantage point from which to look out over the sloping hood. Thick roof pillars will, however, make you glad that you have a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert, which comes standard on the EX trim level and above.
Honda is a leader in making advanced safety technology available to the masses, and as such, the Honda Sensing suite of active safety features is standard on all CR-Vs except for the base LX trim level.
This includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and a road-departure mitigation system. You'll also have to step up to the EX trim level to get a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert.
The CR-V proves stellar when it comes to protecting its passengers in a crash, with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) deeming it a "Top Safety Pick." The only reason it missed a "Top Safety Pick+" rating is due to an "Acceptable" performance for its headlights.
Standard for CR-Vs with EX trim and higher, a 1.5-liter, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine makes 190 horsepower and 179 lb.-ft. or torque. It makes the CR-V feel lively and quick to get up to speed, although it tends to be loud under hard acceleration. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) delivers power to the front wheels unless you opt for Honda's Real-Time 4WD system, which can send up to 40% of the power to the rear wheels for extra traction, according to Honda.
The EPA says that the CR-V with AWD should return about 29 mpg in combined driving. My test vehicle came close, returning 27.7 mpg on a test loop of mixed driving conditions. I'm not really sure why fuel economy caused consternation for so many owners that it would be cited as their least favorite attribute, but I was pretty pleased with my test vehicle's mileage.
Owners of the Honda CR-V love its driving dynamics, citing this as a favorite feature. Certainly, this vehicle puts a smile on a driver's face with its assured nature when diving into corners and engaging handling characteristics regardless of the situation.
In particular, the steering is nice and light around town for twirling the CR-V into parking spaces, but gets a little heftier at higher speeds where you want a resolute on-center feel. The brakes prove predictable, too. But the star here is the suspension tuning, which delivers a communicative yet compliant ride combined with confidence-inspiring handling. In part, you can thank the tried-and-true rear multi-link double-wishbone design.
Practically speaking, the CR-V's tidy exterior dimensions make it easy to slip into and out of holes in traffic while zipping around on city streets. This maneuverability, combined with a just-right size for many families, no doubt helps the CR-V to win the compact crossover popularity contest.
You see so many Honda CR-Vs on the highways and driveways of America today, and the reasons are perfectly clear. Honda hits all the right notes with this friendly and versatile vehicle. It's safe, dependable, fun to drive, and roomy enough for your small family and their gear.
If you're shopping for a compact crossover, your list must include the 2019 Honda CR-V.

John Henry "Jack" Towers (* 30. Januar 1885 in Rome, Floyd County, Georgia; † 30. April 1955 in Queens, New York City) war ein US-amerikanischer Marineflieger und Admiral der US Navy, der zuletzt von 1946 bis 1947 in Personalunion Oberkommandierender des Pazifikkommandos (US Pacific Command) sowie Oberbefehlshaber der Pazifikflotte (US Pacific Fleet) war. Für seine fliegerischen Verdienste wurde er 1966 posthum in die National Aviation Hall of Fame aufgenommen.

Leben

Ausbildung zum Marineoffizier und Marineflieger
Towers begann nach dem Schulbesuch seine Offiziersausbildung an der US Naval Academy in Annapolis, die er 1906 abschloss. Anschließend fand er zunächst eine Verwendung auf dem zur Kearsarge-Klasse gehörenden Einheitslinienschiff USS Kentucky. In der Folgezeit bewarb er sich mehrmals als Marineflieger, ehe er als Kapitänleutnant (Lieutenant) am 27. Juni 1911 zur Ausbildung an der von Glenn Curtiss gegründeten Flugschule in Hammondsport zugelassen wurde. Dort wurde er nach Theodore Gordon Ellyson und John Rodgers auf dem ersten Flugzeug der US Navy Curtiss A-1 zum dritten Marineflieder ausgebildet.

Am 25. Oktober 1911 flogen Ellyson und Towers einen Überlandflug von 180 km in 122 Minuten entlang der Chesapeake Bay von Annapolis nach Old Point Comfort. Später übernahm er als Fluglehrer selbst die Ausbildung neuer Marineflieger und stellte im Oktober 1912 entlang der Chesapeake Bay einen Dauerflugrekord für Marineflieger auf, als er mit einem Zusatztank sechs Stunden flog. Im Dezember 1912 vollendete er Versuche, die die Möglichkeit der Sichtung von U-Booten aus der Luft bewiesen. 1913 war er zuständig für die Fliegereinheit, die von der Guantanamo Bay Naval Base aus an den ersten Manövern mit der US-Flotte teilnahm. Dabei erforschten er und die anderen Piloten das Potenzial der Flugzeuge, um die Marine durch Luftaufklärung, Bombenabwürfe, Luftfotografie und drahtlose Kommunikation zu unterstützen. Dabei gelang ihnen auch die Sichtung von U-Booten in einer Tiefe von 9 bis 12 Metern.

Am 20. Juni 1913 befand sich Towers an Bord eines von Leutnant zur See (Ensign) William Billingsley geflogenen Wasserflugzeugs vom Typ Navy-Wright B-2. Die Maschine geriet über der Chesapeake Bay in einer Höhe von rund 600 Metern in heftige Turbulenzen, aufgrund dessen Billingsley aus seinem Sitz geschleudert wurde, ins darunter liegende Gewässer zu Tode stürzte und dadurch der erste im Dienst tödlich verunglückte Marineflieger wurde. Towers gelang es auf den Pilotensitz zu klettern und mit dem Flugzeug eine Bruchlandung durchzuführen, die er nahezu unverletzt überstand. Daraufhin ordnete er den Einsatz von Sicherheitsgurten in allen Marineflugzeugen an. Im Januar 1914 war er für die Errichtung der Naval Air Station Pensacola verantwortlich, des ersten Marinefliegerstützpunktes der USA.

Erster Weltkrieg, Schiffskommandant und Verdienste in der Marinefliegerei

Danach war Towers von August 1914 bis August 1916 stellvertretender Marineattaché an der Botschaft im Vereinigten Königreich und nahm danach an einer Einsatzfahrt auf dem Panzerkreuzer USS Tennessee teil. Im Mai 1917 wurde er als Korvettenkapitän (Lieutenant Commander) ins Navigationsbüro der Marine (Bureau of Navigation) versetzt, wo er für das Marinefliegerreservekorps NRFC (Naval Reserve Flying Corps) verantwortlich war. Nach dem Verschärfung des U-Boot-Kriegs und Kriegseintritt der USA in den Ersten Weltkrieg 1917 leitete er von dort aus Marinefliegereinsätze im Golf von Mexiko. Im April 1919 versuchte er zusammen mit Patrick N. L. Bellinger und Albert Cushing Read mit einer Gruppe von drei Wasserflugzeugen vom Typ Curtiss NC der Rockaway Naval Air Station von Neufundland aus am 8. Mai 1919 eine Überquerung des Atlantischen Ozeans, musste aber mit seinem Flugzeug NC-2 rund 205 Seemeilen vor den Azoren notlanden, ebenso wie eines der anderen beiden Flugzeuge. Dem dritten Flugzeug NC-4 unter Read gelang der Transatlantikflug nach England nach einer Zwischenlandung auf den Azoren und in Portugal. Für seine Verdienste hierfür wurde ihm das Navy Cross verliehen.

Anschließend war Towers Erster Offizier des Minenlegers USS Aroostock sowie vom 10. Dezember 1920 bis Dezember 1921 Kommandant (Commanding Officer) des Zerstörers USS Mugford, ehe er 1921 als Erster Offizier des Marinefliegerstützpunktes Pensacola im Auftrag des Luftfahrtbüros der Marine (Bureau of Aeronautics) mit der Ausbildung von Marinefliegern auf normalen Flugzeugen begann. Dies war notwendig um die zukünftige Einsatzmöglichkeit auf Flugzeugträgern zu gewährleisten. 1922 ließ die US Navy den Marine-Kohlentransporter USS Jupiter zur USS Langley umbauen, den ersten Flugzeugträger der USA. Durch die vorherige Ausbildung wurden die praktischen Probleme des Einsatzes von Flugzeugen von Schiffen aus allmählich gelöst. In der Folgezeit wurden Fangseile und Barrikaden entwickelt, um die Sicherheit der Landungen zu unterstützen. Im Anschluss kam es zum Umbau der USS Lexington und der USS Saratoga zum zweiten und dritten einsatzfähigen Flugzeugträger der USA vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Towers selbst war zwischen März 1923 und September 1925 nacheinander stellvertretender Marineattaché an den Botschaften im Vereinigten Königreich, Frankreich, Italien, den Niederlanden sowie zuletzt in Deutschland. Nach seiner Rückkehr wurde er vom Bureau of Aeronautics mit der Untersuchung des Unglücks des Starrluftschiffes USS Shenandoah beauftragt. Nach einer Verwendung als Erster Offizier wurde er am 4. Januar 1927 schließlich als Nachfolger von Kapitän zur See Frank Robert McCrary schließlich selbst Kommandant des Flugzeugträgers USS Langley und verblieb in dieser Funktion bis zu seiner Ablösung durch Fregattenkapitän Robert Rudolf "Rip" Paunack am 26. August 1928. Danach war er zunächst Leiter des Planungsreferats sowie anschließend stellvertretender Chef des Bureau of Aeronautics, ehe er im Juni 1931 Offizier im Stab von Konteradmiral Harry E. Yarnell wurde, der zu der Zeit Kommandeur der Marinefliegereinheiten des Schlachtschiffverbandes (Battle Force) war.

Nachdem Towers von Juni 1933 bis 1934 einen Stabslehrgang am Naval War College in Newport absolviert hatte, wurde er Kommandant der Naval Air Station San Diego und danach erneut Offizier im Stab des Kommandeurs der Marinefliegereinheiten des Schlachtschiffverbandes. Danach löste er als Kapitän zur See (Captain) am 9. Juni 1937 Kapitän zur See William F. Halsey als Kommandant des Flugzeugträgers USS Saratoga ab und verblieb in dieser Verwendung bis zu seiner Ablösung durch Kapitän zur See Albert Cushing Read am 16. Juni 1938.

Aufstieg zum Admiral und Zweiter Weltkrieg

Anschließend wurde Towers zunächst erneut stellvertretender Chefs des Bureau of Aeronautics, ehe er als Nachfolger von Konteradmiral Arthur B. Cook am 1. Juni 1939 schließlich selbst Chef des Bureau of Aeronautics und zum Konteradmiral (Rear Admiral) befördert wurde. Er war damit der erste Marineflieger in der Geschichte der US Navy, der in einen Admiralsrang befördert wurde. Auf dem Posten als Chef des Bureau of Aeronautics blieb er bis zum 9. Oktober 1942 und wurde dann durch Konteradmiral John S. McCain, Sr. abgelöst. Während seiner Dienstzeit wuchs die Anzahl der Marineflugzeuge von 2.000 im Jahr 1939 auf 39.000 im Jahr 1942.

Nach seiner Beförderung zum Vizeadmiral (Vice Admiral) am 6. Oktober 1942 wurde Towers Kommandeur der Lufteinheiten der US-Pazifikflotte. Anschließend wurde er in Personalunion stellvertretender Oberkommandierender der Streitkräfte im Pazifikraum (Pacific Ocean Area ) sowie stellvertretender Oberbefehlshaber der Pazifikflotte und war damit als Stellvertreter von Admiral Chester W. Nimitz dessen Chefberater für Marinefliegereinsatz, Flottenlogistik und Verwaltungsangelegenheiten. Am 27. Februar 1944 wurde er mit dem Legion of Merit sowie am 23. Juli 1945 mit der Navy Distinguished Service Medal ausgezeichnet. Im August 1945 wurde er Kommandeur der Zweiten Flugzeugträgereinsatzkräfte (Second Carrier Task Force) sowie der Flugzeugträgerkräfte 38 (Task Force 38), ehe er am 7. November 1945 als Admiral Kommandeur der 5. US-Flotte (US Fifth Fleet) mit dem Schlachtschiff USS New Jersey als Flaggschiff wurde.

Im Anschluss wurde Towers am 1. Februar 1946 als Nachfolger von Admiral Raymond A. Spruance schließlich selbst Oberbefehlshaber der Pazifikflotte (US Pacific Fleet) mit dem Flugzeugträger USS Bennington als Flaggschiff. Diesen Posten bekleidete er bis zu seiner Ablösung durch Admiral Louis E. Denfeld am 28. Februar 1947. Am 1. Januar 1947 wurde er zudem in Personalunion Oberkommandierender des neu geschaffenen US-Pazifikkommandos (US Pacific Command) und wurde auch in dieser Verwendung am 28. Februar 1947 durch Admiral Louis E. Denfeld abgelöst. Daraufhin fungierte er noch von März bis zu seinem Eintritt in den Ruhestand am 1. Dezember 1947 als Vorsitzender des Allgemeinen Marineausschusses (General Board of the United States Navy), einem Beratungsgremium der US Navy.

Nach seinem Tode wurde er auf dem Nationalfriedhof Arlington beigesetzt. Er war mit Pierrette Anne Towers verheiratet.

I should be working on my mask, but I wanted to look at some last minute inspiration 1st. One of my favorite Doctor Who episodes is "The Girl in the Fireplace", which is about the life of Madame du Pompadour (the mistress of King Louis XV of France) as seen through "time windows" from a space ship into her realm. In that episode there are clockwork robots that wear Venetian Masks and intricate wigs over their clockwork heads. Inspired by my favorite episode, I did a Google search for "venetian masks". These are some of my favorites.

Farrakhan, at a meeting with the secretary of Iran's Expediency Council, Mohsen Rezaei, criticized the U.S. for imposing new sanctions on Iran, charging Washington is conspiring against the Islamic regime, reported the Algemeiner, citing the Iranian semi-official state news agency Mehr.
"I understand how the enemies have plotted against the Iranian people, and I would like to stay alongside you to stop their plots," he said.
Farrakhan said African Americans are in solidarity with Iran's Islamic revolution.
Iranian news outlets reported he also condemned Israel in remarks to students at the University of Tehran law school and praised women's rights in Iran and the Islamic laws requiring they cover themselves.
In his address at the University of Tehran law school, he asked rhetorically, "Is it not true, that you have called America the great Satan?
Farrakhan has been supported by prominent American activists and political leaders.
In January, a 2005 photo surfaced of Farrakhan with then-Senator Barack Obama. Journalist Askia Muhammed said he took the photo but decided to suppress its publication to protect Obama's presidential ambitions.
Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has denied he has a relationship with Farrakhan, despite considerable evidence. Farrakhan, in a video interview posted in June on Facebook, characterized himself as a spiritual mentor of Ellison and criticized the congressman for denying the relationship while seeking the No. 2 post with the Democratic National Committee.
"If he has to bash me in order to get a job, well, help yourself, brother. You know, say whatever you think will get your your DNC job," Farrakhan said of Ellison.
Farrakhan said that on one particular occasion, Ellison and fellow Muslim Democratic congressman Andre Carson of Indiana visited the Nation of Islam minister in his suite in Washington.
"If you denounce me to achieve greatness, wait until the enemy betrays you and then throws you back like a piece of used tissue paper to your people," Farrakhan warned.
Two leaders of the Women's March have praised Farrakhan, Tamika Mallory, who called him "GOAT" or "Greatest of All Time," and Linda Sarsour.
Democratic congressman Danny K. Davis of Illinois also has praised Farrakhan.
"I don't regard Louis Farrakhan as an aberration or anything, I regard him as an outstanding human being who commands a following of individuals who are learned and articulate and he plays a big role in the lives of thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people," the congressman said.

A man in a wheelchair killed himself Tuesday after detonating a pipe bomb inside a health clinic in Oakland, police said.
The deadly incident was reported about 6:26 p.m. at the San Antonio Health Center in the 1000 block of International Boulevard, according to the Oakland Police Department.
Witnesses told police the adult man entered the lobby of the clinic and appeared to be armed with what looked like a pipe bomb.
He then detonated the explosive and took his own life, police said.
"The investigation reveals this is an isolated incident where an individual took his own life," the department said in a statement.
The Alameda County Sheriff's Office said its bomb squad assisted police to ensure the area was "safe and secure."

Another upset on Azteca America
Bronx, NY December 12...Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing in association with GYM INC. presented the 5th installment of "BOXEO AMERICA" broadcast live this past Saturday December 10th, from the Bell Center in Montreal Canada on the Azteca America network and once again a major upset took place in the main event as former WBA Jr. Middleweight champion Joachim Alcine (33-2-1 19KO) won a spirited 12 round majority decision over hometown hero David Lemieux (25-2 24KO) capturing the WBC Intercontinental Middleweight championship.
Lemieux started out strong rocking Alcine in the first round and continued being the aggressor for the next couple of rounds. Alcine started to fight his way back into the fight in the fourth round using a strong jab, good counterpunches, and slick movement. Alcine rocked Lemieux in the fifth round with a big right hand but David kept applying the pressure as the bout wore into the championship rounds. It was mostly a give and take affair but in the end Alcine prevailed and scored the big upset by majority scores of 116-112 on two cards, and 114-114 on the third.

Lemiuex should have never taken this fight, at just 22-years-old he has all the time in the world, I don't understand taking on a proven Vet like Alcine. Now his confidence REALLY has to be at a low, and building him back up is going to be twice as difficult.
Agreed. He needed a couple of confidence builders, but was trying not to lose the momentum he built up before his first loss...
He's a great fighter to watch, but unfortunately, struggles against anyone who stands up to his punches and throws them back with interest.
I really had high hopes for him, but he's really set himself back with this loss.
He does still have time, but needs to get back to winning ways pretty fast now.
He's put more pressure on himself than he really needed to at this stage.
Also, I wouldn't really say that an Alcine victory was much of "an upset".
He's a proven fighter with plenty of ability, and I would be more surprised if he wasn't the slight favourite going into the fight...
Brawler-
Psychologically it's devastating because he was able to rationalize the Rubio loss by blaming his ex-Trainer Russ Anber so vehemently, but with Russ no longer in his Corner, he's got to take full responsibility for this one and not sure his 22-year-old maturity is going to be able to handle that. They BADLY underestimated what Alcine had left and most of all what young Lemieux could handle.


Davros, Missy and The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar (2015) | Randomwhoness: a Doctor Who blog by Johnny Spandrell. Sampling stories in random order.
One thing that really annoyed me was this story's resolution.
The invigorated Sewer Gunge is rising up and wreaking revenge on the Daleks. Why don't the Daleks levitate/fly out of reach from the Gunge??
Surprised you didn't mention the fact that Davros had his eyes voluntarily closed all these years. Still not sure if that's the most stupid revelation since Guy Crayford's eye patch.
You're right, that should have rated a mention! But if there's a prize for forehead slapping moments of self realisation (and there should be), I'd punt for whatisname in Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS being an android.
I think I had successfully blocked the Davros eyes moment from my memory until now!

Homosexuals coming out of the closet
Background[ edit ] In late 20th-century America, the closet had become a central metaphor for grasping the history and social dynamics of gay life. The notion of the closet is inseparable from the concept of coming out. The closet narrative sets up an implicit dualism between being "in" or being "out". Those who are "in" are often stigmatized as living false, unhappy lives.
Share via Email This article is over 8 years old Stonewall says gay people in the public eye — such as Syed Mahmood in Eastenders — have contributed to an increasing confidence in coming out younger.
BBC The average age at which people come out as gay, lesbian or bisexual has fallen steadily over the last four decades, according to Stonewall, the gay rights group. A poll for Stonewall of 1, people who were already out found that among the overs the average age they had come out was But those in their 30s had come out at an average age of 21, and in the group aged 18 to 24 it was The survey, conducted via social networking sites, does not take account of the numbers of people who know they are gay or bisexual but have not come out.
But Stonewall said it nonetheless revealed a pattern of people having the confidence to come out earlier. Among the 33 respondents aged over 60 only five had come out under the age of Several had only done so in the last 10 years. Ruth Hunt, Stonewall's deputy director of public affairs, said: Britain is a fairer country than it once was, and support is available to you.
Some teachers still think it's something private that shouldn't really be talked about, and some parents think that too.

'Good guys' in superhero films more violent than villains
By Ralph Turchiano on November 5, 2018
Public Release: 2-Nov-2018
New research being presented at American Academy of Pediatrics 2018 National Conference & Exhibition finds violent acts by protagonists in popular film genre significantly outnumber those by 'bad guys'
ORLANDO, Fla. – In a film genre more popular than ever, courageous superheroes wield special powers to protect the public from villains. But despite positive themes these films may offer, new research suggests superhero characters often idolized by young viewers may send a strongly negative message when it comes to violence. In fact, according to a study being presented at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 2018 National Conference & Exhibition, the "good guys" in superhero films engage in more violent acts, on average, than the villains.
An abstract of the study, "Violence Depicted in Superhero-Based Films Stratified by Protagonist/Antagonist and Gender," will be presented on Monday, Nov. 5, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. Researchers involved in the study analyzed 10 superhero-based films released in 2015 and 2016. They classified major characters as either protagonist ("good guy") or antagonist ("bad guy") and used a standardized tool to compile specific acts and types of violence portrayed in the films.
The researchers tallied an average of 23 acts of violence per hour associated with the films' protagonists, compared with 18 violent acts per hour for the antagonists. The researchers also found the films showed male characters in nearly five times as many violent acts (34 per hour, on average), than female characters, who were engaged in an average of 7 violent acts per hour.
"Children and adolescents see the superheroes as 'good guys,' and may be influenced by their portrayal of risk-taking behaviors and acts of violence," said the abstract's lead author, Robert Olympia, MD, a Professor in the Departments of Emergency Medicine & Pediatrics at Penn State College of Medicine and an Attending Physician at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center/ Penn State Children's Hospital. "Pediatric health care providers should educate families about the violence depicted in this genre of film and the potential dangers that may occur when children attempt to emulate these perceived heroes," he said.
The most common act of violence associated with protagonists in the films was fighting (1,021 total acts), followed by the use of a lethal weapon (659), destruction of property (199), murder (168), and bullying/intimidation/torture (144). For antagonists, the most common violent act was the use of a lethal weapon (604 total acts), fighting (599), bullying/intimidation/torture (237), destruction of property (191), and murder (93) were also portrayed.
To help counteract the negative influence superhero films may have on children, the study's principal investigator, John N. Muller, MS, suggests families watch them together and talk about what they see.
"Co-viewing these movies as a family can be an effective antidote to increased violence in superhero-based films," said Muller, a medical student at the Penn State University College of Medicine. But the key, he said, is discussing the consequences of violence actively with their children.
"In passively co-viewing violent media, there is an implicit message that parents approve of what their children are seeing, and previous studies show a corresponding increase in aggressive behavior," Muller said. "By taking an active role in their children's media consumption by co-viewing and actively mediating, he said, parents help their children develop critical thinking and internally regulated values."
Mr. Muller will present the study abstract, available below, from 3:34-3:42 pm EST in the Plaza International Ballroom at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.
In addition, Mr. Muller will be among highlighted abstract authors available during an informal Media Meet-and-Greet session Saturday, November 3, from 1 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. EST in room Room W208AB of the Orange County Convention Center (Press Office).
Please note: only the abstract is being presented at the meeting. In some cases, the researcher may have more data available to share with media, or may be preparing a longer article for submission to a journal.

Abstract Title: Violence depicted in superhero-based films stratified by protagonist/antagonist and gender
Robert Olympia
Hummelstown, PA
Purpose: Superhero-based films have become an incredibly popular genre. A recently published study found that the number of negative themes depicted in superhero-based films, especially acts of violence, outweighs the number of positive themes. Superheroes depicted in film are often viewed by children and adolescents as "the good guy," and therefore may be influenced by their portrayal of risk-taking behaviors and acts of violence. Similarly, young girls may be influenced by the behaviors of female superhero characters depicted in film. The objective of this study was to describe acts of violence portrayed in a select number of superhero-based films, stratified by protagonist/antagonist characters and gender. Methods: We conducted a content analysis study examining superhero-based films released during 2015 and 2016 as identified by boxofficemojo.com. A data collection tool, listing specific acts of violence, was developed by the study investigators to quantify types of violence portrayed in each film. Prior to data collection, each major film character was classified as either a protagonist ("good guy") or antagonist ("bad guy"). Each film was independently viewed and scored by 5 reviewers. Data analysis included quantifying specific acts of violence (mean events per hour), then stratified by protagonist/antagonist and gender. Results: A total of 10 superhero-based films were analyzed. The average number of violent acts associated with protagonist and antagonist characters for all included films was 22.7 (95% CI: 16.8-30.7) and 17.5 (95% CI: 13.9-21.9) mean events per hour, respectively (p=0.019 with adjustment for significant reviewer variability). The most common acts of violence associated with protagonists for all included films were: "fighting" (1021 total acts), "use of a lethal weapon" (659), "destruction of property" (199), "murder" (168), and "bullying/intimidation/torture" (144). The most common acts of violence associated with antagonists for all included films were: "use of a lethal weapon" (604 total acts), "fighting" (599), "bullying/intimidation/torture" (237), "destruction of property" (191), and "murder" (93). The average number of violent acts associated with male and female characters for all included films was 33.6 (95% CI: 27.3-41.4) and 6.5 (95% CI: 3.9-11.0) mean events per hour, respectively. Conclusions: Based on our sample of superhero-based films, acts of violence were associated more with protagonist characters compared with antagonist characters, and were associated with male characters more than female characters. Therefore, pediatric health care providers should educate families to the violence depicted in this genre of film and the potential dangers that may occur when children attempt to emulate these perceived heroes.

Yes, to snorkel you must know how to swim. Even if you are in standing depth water, you might get in a current that takes you out of your depth. In the water you don't weigh much, and even a tiny current can move you. So you must know how to swim well enough to be able to tread water and keep your head above water, and you must be able to make it through the water well enough to get yourself back to shore.
Sharks and stingrays look quite different they share many of the same traits. They are in the same family of cartilaginous fish called the elasmobranchs. These creatures are not so scary once you learn a little bit about them. Here is some useful and interesting information about sharks and stingrays in Hawaii.

Arizer has done it again! They have released a new vaporizer based on the wildly popular Solo.
One of the common complaints about the Solo was that it is too chunky. The Arizer Air is basically a slimmed down version of the Arizer Solo, except with a few differences.
Because the Air is smaller, it also has a slightly lower battery life, about 20% less.
Solo has 7 temp settings. Air has 5 temp settings.
The Air also has a shorter stem that has a black plastic mouthpiece.
Obviously, because the Air is smaller, it can fit in your pocket better than the Solo.
The 18650 battery on the Air is swappable by unscrewing the bottom.
There is less draw resistance when takings hits on the Air.
The Air comes with a carrying case.
As you can see from the heat signature of the herb chamber, the temperatures are fairly even, but not as even as they are in the Solo.
Slim design, easy to use, high quality construction.
Feels very natural to hold and conceal in the palm of your hand, just like a pen vape.
5 temperature settings that are very easy to set, thanks to the color-coded LED lights.
Lower draw resistance than the Solo, which some people may like.
The swappable 18650 battery is a nice new feature.
I don't really like the black plastic mouthpiece tip (it screws off if you don't like it, or you can also buy an all-glass stem from Arizer).
Yes, the Air can fit in your pocket easier because it is smaller, but is not necessarily much stealthier because I am afraid that either the stem will fall out and herb will get all over my pocket (or purse). OR, the glass stem may break.
Shorter battery life than the Solo, by about 20%.
Shorter stem on the Air means that the vapor is not as cool when it touches your lips.
Temperatures in the heating chamber are slightly not as even as they are in the Solo.
Conclusion: The Air is one of the best portable vapes, and Arizer has done a wonderful job of shrinking down the wildly successful Solo. If a slimmed down Solo is what you are looking for, I highly recommend the Air.
But will it replace the Solo? No, because the Solo still has slightly better vapor quality because of the LONGER ALL GLASS stem. I also like the long battery life and long all-glass stem of the Solo.
I'd say the Air competes closely with the Pax and the Ascent. The Pax is more stealthy than the Air but the it has worse vapor taste because has a plastic & metal vapor path.
The Ascent and the Air both have awesome vapor taste because they both use glass vapor paths. Ascent is heavier but easier to carry around because everything is self contained.

Beginning at the state level and with strong support in many urban areas, a new progressive movement reached the national level during the first years of the 20th century.
History, so the bases of everything you're writing has to be about American society, but there's nothing saying you can't compare American society to other nations in this time question. President Roosevelt used his executive authority to put thousands of acres of public lands aside for national parks, saving them from commercial exploitation.
Making connections is especially important when it comes to the rebuttal for your argument.

Well, this all right came crashing down somewhat literally in with the stock market crash. And people often talk about the New Deal kind of taking the three forms of relief, for people who are suffering, for people who need immediate aid.
Now this was partly because the Supreme Court rolled back a lot of the New Deal programs saying that they weren't long, which led FDR into his famous court packing scheme where he tried to add new justices to the Supreme Court, basically tilting it in his favor.
Okay, so let's take a look at this question. The argument also addresses the targeted essay planning for essay writing effect size hattie causation by dealing with the causes and effects of the events mentioned in the question, earning two points. The prompts fall into 4 categories : Patterns of essay argue whether history changed or remained the same Compare and contrast Causation Periodization No matter which type of essay you face, here are 4 steps to help you write a good APUSH long essay.
So if we're past about the conservativeness or the radicalness of the New Deal, what sorts of things might we bring up? No sources are included for either Question 3 or Question 4.

Some questions include texts, images, graphs, or maps. And of course, I recommend writing long the one where you feel most confident.
Maybe it's about a topic that you like more or maybe it's a topic about what you feel like you can give more information, but in these cases always play to your strengths. So out of the two prompts that I was given there was one about whether the American Revolution was actually revolutionary, and then there was this question about whether the New Deal was actually new or whether it was more conservative in nature. Now I love the New Deal, so that is the question that I want to take on here. Plus I can remember a lot about the New Deal off the top of my head, so that's gonna give me a lot of extra information to work with. So of this 35 minutes that you have on the long essay question, I would recommend that you spend maybe five to 10 minutes of that and I think 10 minutes would really be max to plan your essay. To write a little outline for yourself, to decide what your thesis is going to be, and come up with a game plan that is gonna direct the rest of your writing time, which should be the rest of the time that you spend. The 25 to 30 minutes in this exam period. Now again, your mileage may vary on this. You might be the sort of person who can plan really fast and take a lot of time writing, or you might be the sort of person who knows that they can write pretty fast so they can spend some more time planning, but I think this is just kind of a good overall guideline for how you want to be spending your time. Okay, so once you've taken a look at each of the topics for the essay prompts and decided which one you want, the next step is to read the prompt itself really carefully. You want to make sure that there aren't any sort of hidden strictures in there that might direct what you are allowed to write about in the prompt and what you aren't allowed to write about in the prompt. Okay, so let's take a look at this question. And I think in this context the word conservative doesn't mean politically conservative or right-leaning, but rather conservative as in the sense of keeping something that existed before. So were the ways of a society conserved over time or did they change over time? One thing I notice about this question is that it really doesn't give us much in the way of a specific timeframe to talk about. So it doesn't say talk about whether the New Deal was conservative or radical in the period between and , it just asks us to say in the grand scheme of things do you think the New Deal was ultimately a conservative or radical movement. So that means if we want to we could actually talk about a lot of different things really up to the present. And it doesn't even say that we only have to talk about the United States. I mean, this is AP U. History, so the bases of everything you're writing has to be about American society, but there's nothing saying you can't compare American society to other nations in this time period. Okay, so our time scope is broad and even our geography is relatively broad. All right, so how do we decide what we're gonna write about? Well, I think it's given us three main options here. Can support this idea. So we could argue that yes the New Deal was conservative. We can refute and say no the New Deal was radical. It's not conservative at all. Or we can modify, which might take the form of saying oh, maybe it was both conservative and radical or maybe you even want to say this is not the right question to ask. So the modify option is kind of like a both or neither kind of way of looking at things. Now how do we decide which of these three arguments we want to make? I think one of the most useful things you can do at this stage is just make a list of things that you might want to talk about in this essay. So if we're thinking about the conservativeness or the radicalness of the New Deal, what sorts of things might we bring up? After the question, there are two sample essays that would receive a perfect scores. Remember the four steps : dissect the question, formulate a thesis, plan your evidence, and write your essay. Long Answer Sample Question The reform movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century focused primarily on the effects of the accelerating Industrial Revolution, especially its impact on the natural environment. Sample Essay 1 While a number of the most important reform movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries grew out of efforts to combat the negative effects of industrialization, the main focus of their efforts was not the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the natural environment. Farmers were upset at what they regarded as arbitrary and excessive railroad rates and abuses such as rebates to big business like Standard Oil. These farmers were among the first and most outspoken advocates of reform in the late 19th century. The Populist movement, a reform movement attempting to combat the negative effects of industrialization and the rise of big business, was now in full swing. Beginning at the state level and with strong support in many urban areas, a new progressive movement reached the national level during the first years of the 20th century. Supported by President Theodore Roosevelt, progressive reformers, like the Populists, sought to strengthen railroad regulation and both enforce and further strengthen the antitrust laws. In , President Roosevelt not only forced mine owners to submit to arbitration to settle a nationwide coal strike, he also asked his attorney general to file an antitrust suit against the Northern Securities Company, a large railroad holding company. A few years later, another progressive reformer, Woodrow Wilson, succeeded to the presidency, and he managed to further strengthen the antitrust laws by pushing the Clayton Antitrust Act through Congress in While railroad regulation and antitrust actions attracted the most attention of reformers during the period —, some efforts were made by reformers to mitigate the effects of industrialization and commercial expansion on the natural environment. President Roosevelt used his executive authority to put thousands of acres of public lands aside for national parks, saving them from commercial exploitation. In , he convened a conservation conference at the White House in an effort to further mitigate the damage that mining and manufacturing were doing to the natural environment, especially in the West. President Roosevelt also pushed for the establishment of the forest service and appointed a conservation-minded ally, Gifford Pinchot, to head that agency. Thus, both the populist and progressive movements sought to combat the negative effects of industrialization and economic expansion by focusing primarily on railroad regulation and the strengthening and enforcement of antitrust legislation. Nevertheless, some progressive reformers like Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot did pay significant attention to preventing further damage to the natural environment and helped to found the modern conservation movement. This thesis statement establishes a clear argument that addresses all parts of the question and makes a clear argument, earning one point. It does a nice job of demonstrating that at least two reform movements were not just aimed at the effects of the Industrial Revolution, but also at the impact on small business, workers, and consumers, as well as corruption in government. Through its clear thesis, the essay is also able to address the targeted skill of causation by dealing with the causes and effects of the events mentioned in the question, for which it earns both of the possible points. In its body paragraphs, the essay also does a very good job of identifying and using specific evidence to support its argument. In addition, the essay uses a lot of pertinent information from the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt to support the thesis statement and also addresses how there were some reforms that dealt with the natural environment, i. These examples also address the targeted skill by showing the cause and effect of these events in relation to the reform movements, earning two more points. You also are able to meet the last point by applying the skill of synthesis.
And with the New Deal we often think about this kind of alphabet soup of agencies. Now this is the last essay that you'll be writing on the AP exam, and you get 35 minutes to do it, which is considerably shorter than the DBQ section, but the nice part about this is that you don't have so spend so much time looking at all of those primary documents.
History exam. Now you might also have heard this called the free response question or FRQ. I think it is officially called the long essay question, so that's what we're gonna go with for now.
Students develop an argument supported by an essay of past evidence. But the other thing we know about the New Deal is that in the end it didn't really essay. Inhe convened a question essay at the White House in an effort to long mitigate the essay that mining and manufacturing were doing to the natural environment, especially in the West. Well, the New Deal was a reaction to the Great Depression, long was brought on by long irresponsible banking in the s, a time of what was known as laissez-faire economics, which kind of past the government was to keep its hands out of the economy.

Lee and fellow cotton growers Kent Wannamaker of St. Mathews, S.C., and Taylor Slade of Williamston, N.C., sat down during the recent Southern Cotton Growers and Southeast Cotton Ginners meeting in San Destin, Fla. to talk about the rigors of growing cotton these days.
It's no secret that cotton lost over a million acres over the past two growing seasons — most of it in the Southeast. What's coming in 2009 remains to be seen, but these three growers seem confident cotton will be in the cropping mix in the Southeast for a long time.
All three growers are partners in cotton gins. Each grower got into the cotton business after Roundup Ready technology and reduced-tillage practices made it relatively simple to grow cotton. The decade of the 1990s saw King Cotton restored to grandeur in the Southeast.
Slade, who grows cotton and peanuts, says cotton was a staple on his family farm until the boll weevil put his grandfather out of the cotton business. Slade began growing cotton again in 1991.
"In 1991 some friends and I built a cotton gin. It was a monumental year — we had to learn to run a gin and how to grow cotton. Every year we put seed in the ground and every year is different," Slade says.
The North Carolina grower says he is planning to continue with about 1,200 acres of cotton and another 200 acres of peanuts in 2009, if things don't change dramatically.
"Our farm has been in operation since 1712. We survived a war of independence, a civil war, world wars and the Great Depression, and I am confident we will survive the challenges we face today," Slade says.
Ronnie Lee grows 4,000 acres of cotton, 600-1,000 acres of peanuts and 1,000 acres of corn. Like Slade, Lee and some friends built a cotton gin and started growing cotton in 1995.
Since then Lee's three sons have joined him in the farming operation, and they have expanded to a large diversified farming operation that includes a cow-calf operation.
Wannamaker's family grew cotton since the family came over from Germany a couple of generations back. They ultimately sold their share in a cotton gin and put most of their land in the CRP program.
Determined to stay in farming, Wannamaker raised hogs for 12 years and during that time started growing some cotton. His first cotton crop was only 350 acres and was planted in 1995.
Since his return to cotton farming, Wannamaker has grown as much as 2,000 acres of the crop. In 2009, he will grow about 1,000 acres of cotton, 800 acres of peanuts, and about 1,000 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat.
The roller coaster ride of input costs and cotton prices in 2008 may have been a fatal blow to some cotton growers, but for those who survive the current tough times, the future world of cotton production may be a better place.
Efficiency and hard work are the common denominators for success in such trying times, according to each of the three growers.
"In early 2008, when we saw fertilizer prices edging up we took a closer look at potash — it's a constant management chore. We managed nitrogen more exactly for 2009 and looked for the lowest level phosphorus fertilizer we could get," Slade says.
"We also split our fertilizer application — half at pre-plant and half in late June. We were side-dressing nitrogen for the plant and keeping potash levels up for boll development — there is nothing easy about using high priced fertilizer — it takes good management," he explains.
In 2008, we booked some of our cotton in January, February and March — then it was all over. I thought the futures market would calm down and we would have another opportunity to book the rest of our crop, but it didn't happen.
"I was nervous for a while because we got in a drought situation, and I wondered if I had booked too much cotton. We ended up having a good year and had about 70 percent of our cotton booked at favorable prices," Slade says.
In 2009, fertilizer prices are down, but cotton prices are simply in the tank. We're going to grow some cotton in 2009. We need cotton to support the gin, but more importantly it's still a better option than dryland corn and a good rotation crop for our peanuts, Slade says.
"Our situation is different in southwest Georgia — we have to manage nigtrogen and phosphorous — while potash pretty much takes care of itself, says Lee. "We grid map most of our land and use variable rate application. One thing we've found is that using the grid maps and variable application of lime is a big advantage. If you get the pH right, it's a lot easier to manage your fertility program," the Georgia grower says.
One of our biggest challenges is rotating crops to stay away from weed resistance and a whole bunch of fertility problems with our main crop, which is cotton, he adds.
"In Georgia, we used to grow corn at break-even or a loss and made it up with extra pounds in our peanuts. Now that corn has made an economic comeback, we are seeing some benefits of rotating more corn with our peanuts.
"Two years ago we started growing corn again. We ran a yield monitor on our cotton, and we feel like cotton behind corn adds an extra 150-200 pounds of lint. We have had a lot of cotton behind cotton, so there is a big boost from corn.
"We can do a much better job of handling the resistant pigweed by lengthening our rotation schedule. Peanuts and cotton alone make it real difficult to rotate herbicide chemistry, which is critical in our part of the country because of pigweed resistance to a number of herbicides," he says.
"Despite the benefits of rotating crops, the cost of doing so is becoming prohibitive. "You can plant all those crops with the same planter and spray them with the same sprayer, but a peanut digger can't go in a cotton patch and a cotton picker can't go in a peanut field. And, a corn combine can't go either place," Slade adds.
"Weed resistance, fertility problems, rotation schedules, irrigation schedules, crop insurance, and the list goes on and on. It's just a lot harder now to put all these pieces of the puzzle together," Lee emphasizes.
"I was probably one of the first growers in the Southeast to go to do one-pass strip-tillage in a big way. I used to brag that I could get an acre of cotton out of the ground with a disk and a gallon of diesel fuel. Now, the latest Extension recommendation for pigweed control is to break the land and turn it under — we're going to burn some diesel fuel if we go back to tillage in a big way, he adds.
"We paid for technology to make growing cotton and other crops easier — we paid to make the pieces of the puzzle easier to put together. Now, we have the high cost of technology, but we are having to pay many of the pre-technology costs, too," Wannamaker says.
The South Carolina grower was an early user of GPS technology, grid sampling and other labor and time conserving technology. "We have done about all we can do to make growing cotton easier," he says.
"We used Roundup Ready technology for easy weed control. We used Bt technology for easy bollworm and budworm control. Now, we have glyphosate resistant pigweed and stink bugs are a big problem in Bt cotton. The future of growing cotton is going to be a lot more complex than the past," he contends.
Lee says it is a blessing in many ways to have his three sons and their families living and working in the farming business. "They work long hours and take huge economic risks, and I know they could have chosen career in which they could have 9-5 jobs, but farming is what they love.
"We are considering buying two new John Deere cotton harvesting systems for our farm. It's a huge financial investment. I think it will pay off on the economic side, but I know it will pay off in terms of improving the quality of life for my sons," Lee concludes.
Each of the three Southeastern cotton farmers agree there is a good future for cotton for those who are dedicated to the industry and willing to take the risks associated with growing cotton in a global market.
