Local councillor, Tina MacVeigh has expressed concerns for her constituency following a decision made by An Bord Pleanála which will see the demolition of Tivoli Theatre and in its place, a 289-bed apart-hotel. The plan was originally turned down by Dublin City Council last year, but the decision was recently overturned by the appeals board in January.
The approval was granted subject to the omission of a proposed fifth floor. Dublin City Council also asked theatre owner, Anthony Byrne to ensure that the graffiti on the grounds of Tivoli be curated by photograph, which should be taken by a professional photographer. The plan also includes a restaurant/bar and an entertainment area.
An enduring fixture of Francis Street life, the cine-variety theatre opened its doors for the first time in December 1934 having moved from Tivoli's first home on Burgh Quay. The theatre has catered for events and acts across the board, from cinema, to the Cranberries, from Blur to the Beastie Boys and from theatre to techno.
People Before Profit councillor Tina MacVeigh opposed the plan and described the demolition as "a blow to our cultural infrastructure". According to the councillor, one of the reasons given in favour of the demolition at the An Bord Pleanála review was that the area already has a music venue.
During the planning process An Taisce also expressed concern that a new theatre or cultural space be incorporated into the new development. "Since there was an existing cultural use here for many years, it's only right that some new cultural use would be provided," the organisation said.
An Taisce has said that there is an "oversaturation of aparthotels". With the new student accommodation being built on Thomas Street, An Taisce have said that the Liberties is subject to a "high concentration of apart-hotels and student accommodation currently in planning, under construction or recently built". The organisation say that this is "not sustainable" and that "more affordable housing is needed".

Nội dung Text: Creating Applications with Mozilla-Chapter 7. Extending the UI with XBL- P4
Chapter 7. Extending the UI with XBL- P4 7.4.4. Extra Binding Content and Insertion Points All examples in the chapter have so far dealt with standard binding content rendering within a bound document. The processes outlined in this section can, in one sense, be seen as abnormal because they allow ordering of the content to change based on insertion points defined in the binding. This process is done with the XBL element 7.4.4.1. Working with children of the bound element Zero or more children can be contained in anonymous content. These children are marked up with the XBL-specific tag. They can be either the content of the element using the binding or anonymous content generated by the base binding. If the tag contains its own elements, then it will be used as the default content. If the element the binding is attached to contains children, the default content will be ignored. The location of the tags determines the content's insertion point. Insertion points play an important role in the generation of content within a template because they affect how the content is displayed and accessed by the DOM.
This stripped-down binding has only a vertical box as its own content and looks to the children of the bound element for more content by using the element. Here is the XUL content that uses the binding: When the binding is attached and the content is drawn, the insertion point for the two labels is inside the container vertical box inside the binding. This scenario could be used when a binding is used multiple times. Each time, it needs to be rendered differently with extra content that can be provided this way. 7.4.4.2. Selective inclusion Sometimes multiple siblings are located within a box in the XUL, but you want to use only some of them in the binding, such as when a user logs into a system and content is displayed depending on its level of membership. In these cases, you can be selective about which children should be included in the binding. Example 7-5 shows how to use the includes attribute on the element. Example 7-5. Selective inclusion of child content in a binding
The children element in Example 7-5 essentially tells, "Of all the content contained in the bound element, insert only the image element at this particular insertion point." Here is the XUL code that goes with this example: The image is the only child taken from the XUL content and the label is ignored.
If you have children that are not defined in the includes attribute, then the binding is discarded and not used. If the bound element uses another element in addition to an image element, the binding is discarded and only the explicit content is used. If the image element isn't used at all, the binding is discarded. This example renders the image and the label and discards the binding. The anonymous content does not appear because the binding is discarded and only the explicit content is used. 7.5. Inheritance In XBL, inheritance is the process in which one object included in another object is allowed to use properties from that parent object. These properties can be many things, depending on the implementation, ranging from methods to attribute property values. Inheritance is a concept familiar in programming languages, most notably object-oriented ones. It's not something alien to markup, however, and it is deployed effectively in XBL. This section examines three forms of XBL inheritance: binding, attribute, and implementation. As you will see, inheritance promotes self-contained (modular) and flexible bindings that permit shared content across and within XBL documents.
7.5.1. Binding Inheritance Binding inheritance occurs when one binding is linked to another binding or XUL element and uses some or all properties of it, whether they are content or behavior. A binding can inherit from another binding that exists in the same or different file. In one way, this useful feature makes a binding like a class, with content and methods that can be used elsewhere. Bindings become modules, which prevents code duplication, makes maintenance easier, and gets slotted in and out of documents. Linkage or inheritance is enabled by the extends attribute on the element. This attribute contains the URL of the binding that you inherit from. This URL is made up of the location and name of the file that contains the binding (the # symbol), and the id of the specific binding being used. In this way, it is similar to the access method used in CSS attachment. Although it is in the XBL 1.0 specification, Mozilla hasn't fully implemented type="inherits" on the children tag yet, so the best way to work with binding inheritance is to use the extends attribute. Example 7-6 shows a few bindings used in the implementation of the listbox cell in the Mozilla tree. It illustrates how extends is used to inherit from another binding. Example 7-6. Binding inheritance
In Example 7-6, listcell-iconic inherits listcell. In turn, listcell inherits list-box-base, which holds resources. The listcell binding is a cell with text only and the listcell-iconic binding has text and an image. Thus, the user has a choice of using a list cell binding with an icon or no icon. Yet both of these bindings have access to the stylesheet resource declared in the base binding. If listcell- iconic is used, the duplicate xul:label is ignored in the inherited binding and the stylesheet inherited from the base binding via the inherited binding is used. We've used this technique to illustrate how resources in multiple bindings are shared. With binding extensions that use the extends attribute, you can also extend a XUL element as a model, using extensions as a proxy to mimic that XUL element. The element may not be included directly in the anonymous content, but its characteristics are still present on the bound element. If you
use the XUL namespace xul: in the same way you use it for XUL content in a binding, you can inherit the XUL element properties as illustrated in Example 7-7. Example 7-7. Inheriting XUL widget characteristics using extends In Example 7-7, the binding has all of the attributes and behavior of a XUL box. Because you extend a box element, the base widget is now a vertical box. The anonymous content is laid out according to the box model, and all attributes that are recognized on the bound element are applied to the box. 7.5.2. Attribute Inheritance Also known as "attribute forwarding," attribute inheritance is a way for anonymous content to link to the attributes from the bound element. When the bound element attribute is changed, this modification filters down to the binding attribute list. The code in Example 7-8 shows anonymous content where multiple attributes are picked up by the xbl:inherits attribute, with each one separated by a comma. Example 7-8. XBL attribute inheritance
The element that inherits the attributes can be anywhere in the chain of anonymous content. In this case, it is on the top-level box. It assumes the value given to these attributes in the bound element. Here is the XUL that uses the binding content from Example 7-8: The xul:box element inherits the attribute values vertical, 1, and middle, respectively, from the bound element (mywidget). The box in the anonymous content contains three children: two text (description) elements and an image contained in another box. The default orientation for a box is horizontal, but these child elements are now positioned vertically. You may notice that the inherits attribute is preceded with the xbl: prefix, unlike other attributes in the XBL element set. Why is this unique? It guarantees that the effect is on the binding and not directly
on the element that uses it. This ensures that the element can have an inherits attribute of its own if needed. This scenerio is unlikely and you might wonder why this rule does not apply to other attributes used on XBL elements. To achieve correct binding, the XBL namespace must be declared on an element at a higher level than the element using it, most commonly the container, as explained earlier. Here is what the code will look like: 7.5.3. Implementation Inheritance The third type of inheritance, inheritance of behavior, is also achieved by using the extends attribute and is useful when you want to use methods or properties in another binding. Example 7-9 shows how one binding inherits implementation from another in the same file. Example 7-9. Inheritance of behavior between bindings
this.init( ); The Widget1 binding in Example 7-9 pulls in Widget2 using extends. Widget2 has implemented a constructor that dumps some text to output. When Widget1 is bound and it does not find any implementation to initiate, it looks to the inherited binding and, in this case, dumps "This is Widget2" to output.
In a bindings inheritance tree, more than one implementation could have a method with the same name. In this case, the most derived binding -- the one nested deepest in the inheritance chain -- is the one used. It is even possible for some common DOM functions used on the bound element outside of the anonymous content to find imitators when implementing the attached bindings. If you glance through the source code for the Mozilla chrome, you may notice that many of the standard XUL widgets used were extended by using XBL. The button is a good example. On its own, the button can display text with the value attribute and an image with the src attribute. Usually, this is sufficient, and you can color the button and change the text font with CSS. But you may want to take advantage of inherent behaviors in other elements or inherit from other bindings. Mozilla buttons are a mix of , , and elements, and they take on the characteristics of each. 7.6. Event Handling
Event handlers are attributes that listen for events. They intercept events raised by certain user actions, such as button clicks. When intercepted, control is given to the application to carry out some functionality. Mouse and keyboard actions are included in these events. XBL uses all events that are available on an element in XUL and calls them by their name, minus the on prefix. Thus, for example, the onmouseclick event handler becomes mouseclick in XBL. Refer to Appendix C for a full list of these events, which also describes the difference between XUL and XBL event handling. The element contains a single event. Sets of individual elements need to be included in a element. The event that sets off the action is contained in the event attribute. This code uses the action attribute to point to script that is executed when the event is triggered. The alternative way to set up the actions is to put the executable script between the handler tags, like you can with the XUL element. If you use this "embedded" syntax, wrap your script in a CDATA section so it gets interpreted and executed properly:
var list = document.getElementById('someElement'); list.setAttribute('style', 'display:block;'); ]]> You cannot use both inline and external scripts in an XBL event handler. If this instance does occur, the action attribute is used. Like code decisions in other contexts, which one you use depends on whether you want to reuse the code. In our experience, using inline scripts is best in most circumstances unless useful code libraries can be accessed in external scripts. 7.6.1. The Time and Venue Event handlers in XBL allow for fine-tuning, using built-in attributes that control when, where, and how they are executed. Events are not limited to bindings. They can be registered with other UI elements that pre-empt behavior when, for example, a create or load event occurs. This registration occurs when using the attachto attribute. The handler is designed to update the list in the binding when the application is loaded up and the window shows. Other possible values for attachto are document and element. //FIXME did we loose content here?
The attachto feature is disabled for Mozilla 1.0, but it is included here for completeness and to highlight XBL's full capabilities. Another nice feature of event handlers in XBL is the existence of extra modifiers on mouse and key events using the modifiers and the key or keycode attributes. The value is a list of one or more modifier keys separated by a comma. The most common combination is the use of the alt, control, or shift modifiers. The key codes have special identifiers like VK_INSERT and VK_UP. Finally, when talking about event handlers, the phase attribute allows you to control the point in the event's lifecycle when the code is to be executed. The possible values are bubbling (the default), targeting, and capturing. Here is an example of a handler implementation that fills a tooltip when the popup element displaying it is shown:
if (tipNode && tipNode.hasAttribute("tooltiptext")) this.label = tipNode.getAttribute("tooltiptext"); ]]> This event handler first checks that the current popup is in fact a tooltip via the document's tooltipNode property and then extracts the text from it. This text is assigned to the binding's label, which will propagate via inheritance to the text display content widget used in the binding, which could be a label or description element. 7.7. Resources for Bindings This chapter stresses that bindings used in XUL documents are designed to be modular, self-contained widgets that have a certain appearance and carry out a specific set of functionality. This final section extends the notion of XBL as an organization of content, behavior, and event handling by describing extra resources (such as stylesheets and pictures) that are available in the XBL framework for use in your bindings. If you are creating templates, for example, you should consider using these approaches to application development. 7.7.1. Stylesheets in XBL You can include stylesheets in an XBL document by using the XBL-specific element . The example below shows the color-picker stylesheet as it would be included in a -containing element,
allowing styles contained therein to be used by the bindings that referenced it. The element is intended for the styling of bound elements and anonymous content. It can be used on anonymous content generated by the binding and in explicit children in documents that use the bindings. Typically, you would include this element in a binding and inherit it to style other bindings when there are many bindings that have a similar appearance. Then you can access the stylesheet in your binding by using the extends attribute: Beyond this static usage of stylesheets, two attributes, applyauthorstyles and styleexplicitcontent, can affect the appearance of a binding element if a stylesheet is applied to it. Although they are part of the XBL 1.0 specification, these attributes were not
implemented at the time of writing. They are attributes of the element. applyauthorstyles A Boolean value that determines the use of stylesheets from the document that contains the bound element. The default is false. styleexplicitcontent A Boolean value that indicates whether the stylesheets loaded in the XBL document can be applied to a bound element's explicit children and not just the bound element itself. The default is false. Stylesheets take effect from the inside scope and move outwards. This means that styles on a binding can be overridden easily by styles attached to elements contained in anonymous content. The XBL element works much like a XUL element and pulls in the image by using the src attribute. If an element calls this binding, the pictures would lay out side-by-side horizontally in the bound document.

'The worst thing I have ever seen' - vets work to save kitten's sight after freak accident with hook
Six-week-old Amy required emergency surgery to see if vets could save her sight
The moggy was playing at the time (Image: Vets Now)
A worker has described the sight of a Lincoln cat who was almost blinded after a hook penetrated its eye as the "worst thing I've seen in my life."
Gwen Oxley, who has worked as a charity worker at Lincoln Cat Care for over 17 years, was left horrified after the freak accident, which involved a six-week old kitten and a bungee cord.
The young moggy named Amy was rushed to the Vets Now on Hykeham Green in North Hykeham where it was feared she may lose her sight after the hook of the cord lodged itself in the corner of her eye.

Vets had been told how the young moggy had been playing with the cable but it had become stuck in her mouth.
As the panicked animal tried to free herself from the sharp object, the hook worked its way further up her face, eventually being halted as it poked through the corner of her eye.
Vets performed an emergency operation to remove the hook but there were fears that the young animal could lose its sight.

Mrs Oxley said: "It's difficult to know how it happened, but I have used these bungee cords for years to keep pens open and this one was just dangling near the kitten who must have been playing with it.
"I found Amy struggling with the cord but by that time it had worked its way up through the back of her mouth and was protruding through the bottom of her eye — it was absolutely horrific."
Fortunately, the medical procedure was a success and the little Amy is expected to make a full recovery.

She said: "I wrapped Amy in a towel and my husband drove me straight to Vets Now. They were absolutely brilliant, I can't stress how brilliant they were.
"Once the vet had sedated Amy she discovered the hook had gone up through the back of her mouth and out of her eye but had missed her gums and palate. She feared Amy would lose her eye, but miraculously it wasn't damaged.
"Although her eye looked terrible it hadn't actually been damaged and once the swelling had gone you wouldn't know there had been anything wrong with her. It's not affected her vision at all.
"I've since put all the bungee cords in the dustbin though."

The young moggy has since returned home where she will be readied for adoption along with over 100 other cats.
"The charity must be looking after around 110 cats and kittens at the moment," said Ms Oxley.
"I think we've got a particular problem in Lincoln as we have got so many unwanted cats.
"We offer free neutering every year and even the amount we do doesn't seem to make any impression."

Emma Panter, principal nurse manager at the North Hykeham branch, said she'd never seen a case like Amy's before.
"We couldn't believe it when we saw this bungee hook," she added.
"The fosterer explained she uses these cords to hold open doors and one must have pinged off somehow and gone through the ventral aspect of the jaw and out of the left eye socket.
"We sedated Amy, took an x-ray, and managed to cut the hook and then remove it. She's one lucky kitten to still have her eye."

Q: Can't access property in inherited class I have got a support project. There is such control hierarchy:
public class MyWindowControl : MyControl<WindowControl>

The MyControl has such hierarchy:
public abstract class MyControl<T> : MyElement<T> where T : Control, new()

I'm doing fixes in WindowControl, and stuck in a situation, that a property that i need is inside the MyControl, called - Token.
I need to get it, but there is no way that i see. Is there a way, maybe i can pass it as a parameter to the contructor? But how?
Here is an example:
public class MyWindowControl : MyControl<WindowControl>
{
    public MyWindowControl()
    {

    }
}

public abstract class MyControl<T> : MyElement<T> where T : Control, new()
{
    public MyControl() :
        this(new T())
    {
    }

    public MyControl(T Element) :
        base(Element)
    {
    }
}

public abstract class MyElement<T> : MyScreenElement where T : FrameworkElement, new()
{
    public MyElement() :
        this(new T())
    {
    }

    public MyElement(T Element)
    {
    }
}

public abstract class MyScreenElement
{
    public MyClass Token { get; protected set; }
}

So the problem is i can access token inside the MyControl, but not inside the WindowControl. How can i, in this case pass as a parameter or set as a property the Token value inside the WindowControl class object?
Please, look carefully: I'm trying to access the Token property not in the MyWindowControl, but in WindowControl
And again. In the current structure of the code i need to have a copy of Token in the WindowControl class. And i'm asking is there a way to do it properly or any workaround?
I don't know, maybe:
public class MyWindowControl : MyControl<WindowControl(this.Token)>

A: Simplified, it's like you have a class Foo:
public class Foo
{
}

And then create a list of that:
var fooList = new List<Foo>();

And now in Foo, you want to access fooList.Count. You can't. Foo doesn't know it's being used generically.

So, thing is, I'm running 17.10 and since I'll be very busy in the following year and won't have time for upgrades and installs, I thought about installing 18.04 right away. I'm asking this now, because today is the feature freeze day, so since only bugfixes are getting in now, it should count as somewhat stable at least?
I use Kubuntu 18.04 which I installed about a week ago on both my desktop and laptop machines. Opengl was completely broken on the standard repositories with my AMD gpu (both with Kubuntu and Ubuntu MATE) so I use the proposed repository. Of course that means additional danger for breaking things since you need to make sure that everything on the proposed repository has finished landing (also better to use the main ubuntu mirror which gets synced frequently instead of the local one.
Wait until mesa 18.0 lands from the proposed repository to the standard repositories (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa) EDIT: Mesa 18.0 has now been landed in the standard bionic beaver repositories.
If you want to use the official Ubuntu flavor, then wait until Gnome 3.28 is released and until most of its software has landed the ubuntu reposiotires in order to avoid more problems.
Create a 18.04 Live USB with persistent storage.
Boot from the USB and select "Try before Installing".
Install your mission critical applications to the USB's persistent storage.
Test your applications with a COPY of your data.
Do not test the programs on the real live data on sdX.
Try out your USB keyboards and mice.
Access your favorite websites and download files.
Test Fn keys for volume and brightness.
Make a keyboard shortcut and ensure it works ok.
Test systemd, cron and other system utilities.
If you've written scripts, copy them over and test them.
Test xrandr functions you have used before.
Run CPU & RAM stress tests. System benchmarks might be helpful too.
Remember 18.04 uses Unity 7.5 but 16.04 uses Unity 7.4 I think.
This test plan might be overly cautious in some areas so you might scale it back depending on your comfort level and time constraints.
If you have enough disk space to hold a copy of your Ubuntu partition, or an external drive or USB Pen Drive that can hold it, use this script: Bash script to clone Ubuntu to new partition for testing 18.04 LTS upgrade Then you can clone your data without rebooting.
The advantage is you avoid the time consuming and laborious task of rebooting to a Live Boot USB. The speed of conversion is also many times faster on an internal drive.
For myself I made an Ubuntu 18.04 Live-USB with Persistent Storage a couple months ago and was surprised how stable it was.
Since then there has be a raft of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS automatic updates with bugs so I've stopped updating Ubuntu since January 1, 2018. I enjoy the stability of 16.04 before year 2018 so I'll just keep using it as is. After 30 days of no bug reports of LTS updates I'll update 16.04. I will hold off converting 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS when it initially comes out in April 2018. Again I'll pay close attention to bug reports and pull the trigger on upgrading when instinct tells me the time is right.
I've been running a 32 bit Lubuntu system and a 64 bit Ubuntu system on 18.04 for a month or so now on some old laptops just for fun.
I have not utilized them heavily but nothing has broken the systems badly. I have been pleasantly surprised.
Installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with MATE DE - it works great on open-source Intel GPU drivers.
As usual modern GNOME is glossy but lost last parts of usability.

California DMV Data Breach Allowed Social Security Information of Thousands to Be Improperly Accessed
The DMV, already besieged by other issues, says that 3,200 license holders had their data improperly exposed to federal agencies, including immigration authorities.
By Haley Samsel
Facing problems ranging from long wait times to staffing and management issues, the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Tuesday that it has also suffered a "data breach" that allowed federal agencies to improperly access Social Security information of 3,200 people in the state.
Immigration authorities were among the agencies who had access to the Social Security information, including if a person issued a license did not have a Social Security number, The Los Angeles Times reported. The information was disclosed through the Government Requested Code Account Program, which allows those agencies to access DMV information but only "for limited purposes under state and federal law," according to CNN.
Seven agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Internal Revenue Service and district attorneys in San Diego and Santa Clara Counties, accessed the information over the past four years.
After discovering the "breach" on Aug. 2, the DMV cut off access to the information. No hacking was involved, and private individuals were not given access to Social Security information, according to the DMV's spokeswoman Anita Gore.
"Protection of personal information is important to DMV, and we have taken additional steps to correct this error, protect this information and reaffirm our serious commitment to protect the privacy rights of all license holders," Gore told the Times. "That's why DMV immediately began correcting the access error following a legal compliance review, ensured that no additional confidential information was disclosed to these entities, and has implemented several additional layers of review."
The situation is further complicated by the fact that beginning in 2013, the DMV has issued driver licenses to people in the U.S. illegally who can provide proof of identity and California residency, according to the Times. At the time, government officials said that the information of license holders in the country illegally would not be shared with federal immigration authorities.
The DMV said that 83 of the license holders who had information accessed by federal agencies did not have proof of legal presence in the United States. Other Californians had their information accessed as part of tax and child support investigations.
In total, the San Diego and Santa Clary district attorney offices were responsible for improperly accessing the data of about 3,000 license holders. All people affected by the breach have been notified by the DMV.
Tim Erlin, the VP of product management and strategy at cybersecurity firm Tripwire, said that many breaches are not the result of malicious attacks, but a "consequence of misconfigurations."
"In these cases, there's no stereotypical 'bad guy' to arrest, but often a group of well-meaning, but overworked and under-skilled staff that either couldn't keep up or just didn't know any better," Erlin said. "Finding and addressing misconfigurations can be automated, but you have to start with an understanding of how the systems should be configured in order to measure how they differ from that desired state."

Q: How to compile curl with latest openssl (1.0.2) Debian I am trying to compile curl with openssl 1.0.2 on a debian jessie machine.
$ which openssl
/usr/bin/openssl
$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.2h  3 May 2016
$ openssl version -d
OPENSSLDIR: "/usr/lib/ssl"

I tried configuring curl in many different ways, for example
$ ./configure --with-ssl=/usr/lib/ssl
$ ./configure --with-ssl=/usr/bin/openssl // Makes no sense anyways

Now still, whatever I do, it does not compile with the right openssl version:
$ curl --version
curl 7.49.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.49.1 OpenSSL/1.0.1t [...]

How do I find out, which path to set?
Could it be, that I have to compile OpenSSL with the option "shared"? I installed openssl via apt-get.
UPDATE
So what I eventually did was, to add Debian Stretch Packages to /etc/apt/sources.list and installed OpenSSL 1.0.2, then libssl1.0.2 and finally libcurl4-openssl-dev.
After doing so, curl -V is not indicating any OpenSSL, but it works fine even with ALPN support, why I originally did all of this.
Thanks for any help.

A: curl's configure option --with-ssl needs the prefix to the install path you installed your OpenSSL in.
If you indeed installed your OpenSSL 1.0.2 in /usr/lib/ssl then ./configure --with-ssl=/usr/lib/ssl is the correct line.
Custom curl with custom OpenSSL
If you build openssl from source, you could for example do:
./config --prefix=/home/user/build-openssl
make
make install

and then build curl to use this custom OpenSSL build:
./configure --with-ssl=/home/user/build-openssl

If configure fails
After configure has completed, you can load the config.log with your favorite editor and check for the OpenSSL checks and see what exactly that failed when it tried to find it.


Anyone who has ever boarded a public bus in Kolkata must be familiar of the expression, "Astey Ladies." It roughly translates to 'Go slow, there's a lady boarding/getting off', and is used as a warning from the bus conductor to the driver, if the occasion demands it. Over the years, the expression has been debated in many ways – with arguments presented both for and against its use. Some say it is a mark of respect for women of various age who may need a little extra help from the bus staff while boarding or getting off the vehicle – especially when some passengers are expected to board or get off the bus when it is still moving. Others feel that the use of the expression is outright sexist, and that it is an unfair and snide comment on the physical ability of women in general, something that ought not to be brought into question had the bus come to a total halt at its designated stop.
I don't know what director Abhijit Chowdhury feels about this age-old expression that is so familiar to the city, but one thing is for sure – his new web series Astey Ladies! is taking no prisoners, certainly not male ones.
Three upwardly mobile middle class women run a hair styling parlour called Salon de Paris in the city of Kolkata. They come from various backgrounds and are of entirely different nature themselves, but love their salon to death. When their parlour comes under threat from a businessman of dubious reputation, the three women must do everything they can to save it. But in order to do that, they need a large sum of money, which they don't possess. The three women then start doing petty robberies, until one day, their luck runs out and they are caught by a man who turns out to be sharper than them. But the man does not turn them over to the cops, nor does he bring any harm to them. Because he has a plan for them, one that involves a major diamond heist.
I have to say this – the show starts off with a bang. There is a sense of intrigue; the characters are exceedingly well written; the dialogues are sharp and there is just the right balance of feminism and fun involved, highlighted by decent production value and an absolutely brilliant title track. The writing is laced with enough wit and humour, and I found myself enjoying the first few episodes to the brim. But somewhere down the line – I would say with the introduction of the man who masterminds the heist, the story loses steam. Things become convoluted and less crisp. The sharpness disappears, and we are left with a sense of being left behind, feeling bored and dejected by what had promised to be an excellent premise and an equally good execution.
The three women play their roles very well. Saayoni Ghosh is easily the most likeable one as Taani. She is aggressive, foul-mouthed and is perfectly willing and capable of bashing up the bad guys, should the need arise. Ghosh pulls off some of the funniest lines of the show with her impeccable comic timing. Sandipta Sen is the saner member of the gang – Megha, who takes a thinker's approach to everything. She likes to plan everything to perfection and always encourages the gang to 'think with a cool head'. Sen too is someone you can connect throughout the film, thanks to her excellent acting flair. Madhurima Ghosh is Leema, the baby of the gang, who constantly needs protecting, and thrives on milkshakes. For most part of the show though, she is missing. So much so, that on a number of occasions, I wondered why the show was advertised as a trio of ordinary girls doing extraordinary things. I really think she deserved a more extended role, and even the story had room for more of her. And the fact that she was able to sink right into her character is all the more reason why they should have given her a lot more space.
But somewhere around the fifth or sixth episode, the show began to test my patience. Situations were implausible and illogical right from the beginning, but in the first few episodes, there was a lot of fun, so I was willing to sacrifice logic for emotion. But later on, the three women began to fall out of character, their dialogues began to sound repetitive, and I just could not connect with them or their motivations anymore. Which is very sad, because the show had a lot of potential.
Had the show maintained the shine I had seen in the early episodes all the way to the end, I have no doubt it would have turned out to be a remarkable show full of dark humour and the guilty pleasures of seeing heists and robberies being pulled off. But alas, there is nothing much to write home about in the second half.
Astey Ladies! is currently streaming on Hoichoi!


When he rang Melbourne there was no mention of thyroid and I ended up talking to the person on the phone and she was rattling off something about the test being for a inflammation on the brain?

Pure Motivation » General Discussion » Prophet of Mercy Muhammad PBUH » His Heart Never Sleeps.
You must have read it in the Hadith where the Noble Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said: "My eyes sleep, but my heart never sleeps." His heart never sleeps! His heart is always connected to his Lord... he is always in ascension. None can know the level attained in Ascension.
Even Jibreel, peace be upon him, was not able to know it, because he said [on the night of the 'Isra wal Mi'eraj] "I cannot move beyond my level", when the Prophet, alaihi Salaat, asked him to continue with him. "If I go further, I will be burnt", Jibreel said.
Sufi Masters say that Jibreel, peace be upon him, should have moved forward with the Prophet, peace be upon him, even if he was going to be burnt. The Prophet told Jibreel, "I am going to move higher even if I am going to be burnt." He was ready to sacrifice himself to obtain that Light for his Community (Ummah), saying:- 'I have no concern for myself'...therefore he moved forward, constantly progressing, traveling to that level, closer and closer to his Lord.. Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam.

On March 13 and 14, on behalf of the Platform Living Wage Financials, MN participated in a two-day expert consultation on indicators and methodologies for wage setting. This meeting was the first meeting of a project of the International Labor Organization (ILO) supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands.
One part of the project focuses on developing indicators and methodologies that will strengthen the capacity of governments to set adequate minimum wage levels, whilst taking into account not only economic factors, but also workers' basic needs. The project also includes a supply chain pillar, whose objectives closely relate to the core objectives of the Platform Living Wage Financials as it seeks to enhance the capacity of supply chain actors to achieve improvements in factory- or farm-level wages.
MN was invited to participate in the expert consultation as a consequence of its work within the Platform Living Wage Financials and in recognition of MN's leadership role in advancing the topic of living wage. In turn, the consultation has also enhanced MN's own understanding of the different local situations in which its investee companies and their suppliers operate, and the real conditions faced by supply chain workers.
MN will also feed the outcomes of the expert consultation, which – besides addressing the garment and footwear sector – included an extensive discussion of human rights risks in the sourcing of bananas, coffee, and tea, into the Platform's new living wage assessment methodologies aimed at the food and agricultural sector. As announced in early February, in 2019, the Platform is officially expanding its coverage to include the food and agricultural and food retail sectors within the scope of its engagement focus. Throughout March and April 2019, the coalition is conducting a broad stakeholder consultation on its living wage assessment methodology, which is now being adjusted to reflect the specific challenges faced by food producers and food retailers in enabling living wage. Alongside NN Investment Partners, MN is actively involved in designing the living wage assessment methodology aimed at food producing companies.

'Midsommar' Official Trailer: 'Hereditary' Director Ari Aster Welcomes You Back to Hell
Florence Pugh and Jake Raynor take a summer vacation they'll never forget in Aster's follow-up to "Hereditary."
Ari Aster delivered a modern horror classic last year with "Hereditary," and from the looks of it he could very well do it again this summer with the release of "Midsommar." The sun-kissed psychological horror movie has been described by Aster as his version of a break-up movie, and that's at least where the new official trailer from A24 starts. Rising indie stars Florence Pugh and Jack Reynor play a struggling couple who reluctantly take a summer trip together only for their relationship to derail because of a sinister cult.
The official synopsis from A24 reads: "A couple's vacation to a Swedish village takes a sinister turn when the insular townspeople invite them into a series of rituals that render their pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving, in this dread-soaked and viscerally disquieting psychological thriller."
Aster teased "Midsommar" earlier this year, telling fans, "It's very macabre. But people shouldn't go in expecting 'Hereditary.' It's a 'Wizard of Oz' for perverts." The director also said the movie will be his last horror offering for the time being.

"That is the only other horror movie I have," Aster said last year. "And I'm pretty sure that's going to be it for a long time. I love the genre, I consider myself a genre filmmaker in that I want to play in every genre. I would love to make a musical. I have 10 other scripts that I've written that I want to make and there are other things I have. I'm writing a sci-fi film and there are at least four or five movies that I have ready to go that I am excited about making that I'd like to do in succession."
"Midsommar" also stars William Jackson Harper, Will Poulter, Vilhelm Blomgren, and Ellora Torchia. Aster re-teamed with many of the same crew members that worked on "Hereditary," including cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski, editor Lucian Johnston, and producer Lars Knudsen. "Midsommar" also has the backing of A24, which released "Hereditary" to nearly $80 million at the worldwide box office last summer.
A24 will release "Midsommar" in theaters July 3. Watch the official trailer in the video below.

Marcel Vigneron and Stefan Richter, the two Top Chef runners-up that fans love to loathe, are both opening L.A. restaurants this week. Eater notes that Vigneron was hired only last week to create a menu for Bar 210 and Plush, a new lounge/restaurant headed to the old Trader Vic's space in Beverly Hills and premiering this Friday night. So what's Marcel cooking?
Vigneron has spent the last year as a sous chef at Jose Andres' The Bazaar and is predictably bringing "modern global tapas" with a surplus of foam and "textures." The menu will include tiger prawn ravioli and pork belly sliders that are clearly different from C.J.'s at The Yard, using pickled green papaya slaw, black garlic aioli, and pimenton espelette. Marcel might not be too late to jump onto the small plates caravan and guests will get to judge for themselves at a private opening set for Friday. The public debut will be the following day, allowing open access to anyone, including Ilan Hall's crosstown Gorbals crew. But even if you're skeeved by Marcel inspiring your eats, the room appears to be decked out in Lakers colors as an early, encouraging plus.
Bar 210/Plush 9876 Wilshire Blvd.
With a better chance of becoming more than a celeb chef sideshow, Stefan Richter has opened his second restaurant, Stefan's on Montana, in Santa Monica. Housed in the cursed Cynthia's space, Eater explains that Stefan's brunch and lunch is straight-forward, with eggs Benedict, burgers, sandwiches, and salads currently available. A bring-your-own-booze dinner with $10 corkage is coming soon, according to the restaurant's website, which also reveals the chrome-domed chef's plans to focus on, get ready…fondue! All inspired by his stints in Switzerland.
Stefan concentrating on fondue courses? Guess that's befitting of a chef who loves Journey and spouts horn-dog talk that rarely even worked in the Seventies. Oh well, Richter scored big with Stefan's at L.A. Farm so, much like refusing to accept that you won't leave your fiancée for him, why shouldn't he give it another shot? Richter has also started a site called Stefan's Restaurants, making us wonder what will pop up next.
Stefan's on Montana is open at 1518 Montana Ave. Santa Monica.

Laughing Tom Cruise
One of the more popular memes is the one featuring actor Tom Cruise. The original video was often in 2006 laughing while doing a conference at the Yahoo headquarters. This has grown and changed dramatically over the years but it generally features pictures of him laughing on a background.
It was uploaded firstly by a user named Maximum Mitch. In 2008 another person on YouTube uploaded a video titled "Tom Cruise Maniac Laugh (REMIX)". It was put along with another video with Tom Cruise where he was getting interviewed by the Church of Scientology and these videos got over 200,000 views. Then in April 2008 accompany published another video which had a lot of people laughing like a maniac along with Tom Cruise. And since then this meme has become a smash hit and is one of the most popular means on the Internet.
It is generally used when you write about doing evil things and having no consequences for those things. There has even been a community of people built around these memes. There are also many other actors and actresses who have had their faces built into similar memes. It is one of the most hilarious things on the Internet and there are also many places where people can simply go and edit these images to put the words that they want to write.
It has spread like wildfire since being introduced in 2006 and that is why many people have adopted it and use it so extensively to talk about when things are going right. There are a lot of important questions that one must ask for it. It talks about a lot of things that people would find to be very important about what can happen to something up in life. Some people never face consequences for their actions and in the end, they can turn into maniacs who have no conscience and feel like no matter what they do they are never wrong.
That is one of the most powerful memes you can have. It teaches you a lot about philosophy and that is why these images have so much power on the Internet. They also Convey a special message that you will relate to and it is only in a few words. For example one of the About Tom Cruise is been happy that you were hired for a job that you were not qualified for. This shows that in life a lot of things did happen to good people that never happen to bad people. You don't always get what you deserve and this is something that can bother a lot of people.

The National Archives and Jefferson Davis' Cloak, Shawl, and Spurs
September 29, 2015 October 4, 2018 by Daniel, posted in Civil War, NARA's History
Today's post is written by Dr. Greg Bradsher, Archivist at the National Archives in College Park
The Civil War was swiftly coming to an end on April 3, 1865, when the President of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis, his wife Varina, and their children abandoned Richmond, Virginia, the capital of the Confederacy. On April 9, as General Robert E. Lee was surrendering his Army, Davis was attempting to avoid capture by the Union forces, apparently desiring to eventually make his way across the Mississippi River to lead southern forces that had not yet surrendered. Five weeks later, after traveling through Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and into Georgia, on May 9, Davis and his party made camp near Irwinville, believing they were still one step ahead of their pursuers. But the pursuers, members of the First Wisconsin Regiment of Cavalry and Fourth Michigan Regiment of Cavalry, were nearby, ready to pounce on the Davis party the following morning.
Early on the morning of May 10, the camp was awakened by the sound of gunfire and very quickly it was surrounded by the Union cavalrymen. The Confederates did not fire a shot. In a somewhat confusing situation, Davis attempted to escape. In a letter of June 5, 1865 to Montgomery Blair, Varina Davis wrote that when her husband saw the Union soldiers, "I pleaded with him to let me throw over him a large waterproof raglan which had often served him in sickness during the summer season as a dressing gown and which I hoped might so cover his person that in the gray of the morning he would not be recognized. As he strode off, I threw over his head a little black shawl which was around my own shoulders, seeing that he could not find his hat." She added "He attempted no disguise, consented to no subterfuge." In his Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government (1881), Davis wrote that as the Union forces arrived he impulsively reached for what he thought was his raglan and threw it over his shoulders, either anticipating that he would need to keep warm if he escaped, or using it to hide his light-colored gray suit against the dark forest. By mistake, he had picked up his wife's raglan because it was "so very much like my own as to be mistaken for it. As I started, my wife thoughtfully threw over my head and shoulders a shawl." It should be noted that in the 1860s, both men and women wore shawls. In fact, President Abraham Lincoln often wore one over his shoulders during chilly weather.
Davis escaped into the woods and was quickly captured. Besides seizing Davis' cloak, shawl, and spurs, the Union soldiers took possession of three of his pistols, a bullet mold, two toothbrushes, a plug of tobacco, and other sundries. Very quickly a story circulated that Davis attempted to escape into the woods wearing his wife's clothing.
Davis would be imprisoned at Fortress Monroe, Virginia. He demanded a trial as the best forum for proving the constitutionality of secession, and the government requested numerous delays to prepare its case. He was released from custody on bail in May 1867. Bail was posted by, among others, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Horace Greeley, and Gerrit Smith, the radical abolitionist who helped to fund John Brown in 1859. Although an indictment for treason against Davis was finalized in March 1868, the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson further delayed the case.
That summer Congress adopted the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Section 3 provided:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
This certainly applied to Davis, who had served as an army officer, member of Congress, and Secretary of War.
The U.S. Circuit Court, Virginia, finally heard preliminary motions in December 1868, when the defense asked for a dismissal claiming that the 14th Amendment already punished Davis by preventing him from holding public office in the future and that further prosecution and punishment would violate the double jeopardy restriction of the 5th Amendment. The court divided in its official opinion and sent the question to the United States Supreme Court. Fearing the court would rule in favor of Davis, President Johnson released an amnesty proclamation on December 25, 1868, issuing a pardon to all persons who had participated in the rebellion.
Most of the items that had been taken from Davis were sent back to him between 1874 and 1880. He would die in New Orleans on December 6, 1889, most likely of pneumonia.
In 1914, the Davis pistols were obtained by descendants of the former Confederate chief executive. On April 26, 1915, the Army Judge Advocate General responded to a request from the Assistant Secretary of War for an opinion regarding the Attorney General's opinion of January 7, 1914, whether the War Department was authorized to turn over to Jefferson Hayes-Davis, a shawl, waterproof cloak, and spurs worn by Davis at the time of his capture. E. H. Crowder, the Judge Advocate General, wrote that the articles were in the possession of the War Department and Jefferson Hayes-Davis was the grandson of Jefferson Davis and had requested the return of the articles on behalf of the next of kin of the former owner. Crowder wrote:
In the opinion referred to the Attorney General considered whether the Secretary of War had authority to return to the executor of Jefferson Davis' estate on the written order of all of his next of kin, a couple of pistols and accessories captured by Union soldiers in June, 1865, and sent to the War Department where they had remained thereafter, and it was held in substance that inasmuch as such property was never condemned and forfeited under the Confiscation and Abandoned Property Acts, the owner retained an interest in them, and that by reason of the President's proclamation of amnesty and pardon of December 25, 1868, the owner's title and right of possession thereto were revived and upon the latter's death passed to his personal representatives, to whom the Secretary of War was authorized to surrender the property.
Crowder wrote that he was unaware of anything indicating that the principle governing the property then under consideration was different. He observed:
I do not think the fact that the shawl, waterproof cloak and spurs were worn by Jefferson Davis at the time of his capture, while such may not have been the case with respect to the other property heretofore surrendered, makes any difference in principle or affects the question of the Department's authority to surrender them. Accordingly, you are advised that it is the view of this office that under the Attorney General's opinion of January 7, 1914, the Department is authorized to return to Jefferson Davis' personal representatives the shawl, waterproof cloak, and spurs referred to.
For whatever reason, the shawl, waterproof cloak, and spurs were not returned. They continued to reside at the War Department. But thirty years later that would change. In May 1945 the War Department offered the items to the National Archives. The National Archives, for some reason, accepted them. In retrospect, the National Archives and War Department probably should have determined, as was the case thirty years earlier, that the articles were private property and should be given to the Davis family. Or, the War Department could have off-loaded the artifacts on the Smithsonian Institution.

Not long after the National Archives received the articles, the Historian of the Virginia Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy wrote Senator Harry F. Byrd about the Davis shawl, which she believed was in a safe at the War Department and requested that the Virginia Daughters of the Confederacy were desirous of having it presented to them to place in the Confederate Museum at Richmond, Virginia. Upon receiving this request Senator Byrd wrote Robert P. Patterson, the Secretary of War, forwarding the request and asking advice with respect to the matter. Byrd's letter was forwarded to the Adjutant General who wrote the Judge Advocate General, requesting information on which to base a reply. The Office of the Judge Advocate General informed the Adjutant General that in its opinion the shawl "must be considered to be private property." They enclosed a copy of the 1915 memorandum and indicated that research had disclosed that no authority existed for the presentation of the shawl to the Virginia Daughters of the Confederacy to place in their museum, in accordance with their desire. With this information in hand, and after informal coordination with the War Department Records Office of the National Archives, the Acting Adjutant General wrote the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of War with summary information regarding the shawl and enclosed a letter for him to send to Senator Byrd advising him that the shawl must be considered the private property of the next of kin of Jefferson Davis and that no authority had been found under which it could be presented to the museum.
At the end of November 1945, the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of War wrote Senator Byrd that the shawl had been delivered to the Secretary of War on May 24, 1865, and had remained in the War Department until May 9, 1945, on which date it was transferred to the War Department Records Office of the National Archives. Senator Byrd was informed that it was the opinion of the War Department that the shawl must be considered the private property of the next of kin of Jefferson Davis, "and for this reason, we do not have the authority to present it to the Confederate Museum at Richmond."
Clipping from Archi-Views [National Archives newsletter], April 1960.
Jefferson Davis' private property would remain in the National Archives until the eve of the centennial of the Civil War. On February 9, 1961, the General Services Administration (which oversaw the National Archives and Records Service – the predecessor to the National Archives and Records Administration) announced that the Jefferson Davis cloak, shawl, and spurs would be, at the request of Davis' heirs, including Jefferson Hayes-Davis, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, turned over to "Beauvoir," the memorial to the Confederate President near Biloxi, Mississippi. The items now repose there.
In signing S. J. Res. 16 "Restoration of Citizenship Rights to Jefferson F. Davis" into Law (Public Law 95-466) on October 17, 1978, President Jimmy Carter stated:
In posthumously restoring the full rights of citizenship to Jefferson Davis, the Congress officially completes the long process of reconciliation that has reunited our people following the tragic conflict between the States. Earlier, he was specifically exempted from resolutions restoring the rights of other officials in the Confederacy. He had served the United States long and honorably as a soldier, Member of the U.S. House and Senate, and as Secretary of War. General Robert E. Lee's citizenship was restored in 1976. It is fitting that Jefferson Davis should no longer be singled out for punishment.
Our Nation needs to clear away the guilts and enmities and recriminations of the past, to finally set at rest the divisions that threatened to destroy our Nation and to discredit the principles on which it was founded. Our people need to turn their attention to the important tasks that still lie before us in establishing those principles for all people.

When you were in college, you and your friends would drink literally whatever was available. A bottle of disgusting-flavored vodka that your roommate kept hidden in her underwear drawer? Sure. Jungle juice brewed up in a garbage can in the basement of a frat house? Sounded delicious. KEYSTONE LIGHT, for God's sake? You were into it (as long as you could drink 400 of 'em).
But you inevitably graduated and slammed yourself into (what passes for) adulthood, and drinking all of that awful stuff became a thing of the past. You all make definitive choices about what your drink is, and that ends up defining you. Some of your friends became romanced by high-quality tequila. Some got really into the craft beer scene. But A LOT of your friends got really "into" wine, mainly because it makes them look dignified even if they've filled their glass with the cheapest wine in the world. They yell about wine o'clock and complain about the Sauvignon Blahhhhhs (aka: a nasty wine hangover).
So this year, keep this in mind: anyone can get a wino wine as a holiday gift. But you're more creative than that. Check out our suggestions.
1. Save the Winos ($25, Buy Me Brunch): A hilarious shirt your friend will love to wear to cocktail hour, and since the winos don't really need saving, Buy Me Brunch has teamed up with the International Rhino Fund to donate a portion of the proceeds from every t-shirt sale to rhino conservation. Say it with us: awwwwww.
2. Club W Wine Subscription ($39 per month): A lot of people say they're "into" wine when they really just mean they're into drinking wine. Picking out the bottle with the coolest label or choosing based on price alone does not a wine enthusiast make. The point? Even if your friend has graduated from Two Buck Chuck to a bottle within the $15-$20 price range, she's still got a lot to learn about wine. Help her become more educated about her favorite subject by getting her a subscription to Club W. For just $39 per month, Club W sends three bottles of wine to try, and prior to sending, your friend will fill out a questionnaire so they can be sure they're sending her bottles she'll actually like rather than have to regift at the next dinner party she goes to.
3. Wine Gems ($76, Rab Labs): The very act of slipping an ice cube into your wine makes everyone stop and say to themselves, "Oh my God, I'm turning into my mother." While putting ice in your wine may be a little declasse (read: trashy), you want to enjoy what you're drinking, right? That's why Rab Labs paired up with Kim Crawford Wines to make Wine Gems, which are essentially the wino's answer to whiskey stones (they chill your drink without diluting it). Crafted out of gorgeous fluorite stones, you pop them in the freezer for a few hours before popping them into your wine. Magically, the wino can go from trashy to classy while still keeping her wine chilled just the way she (and good old mom) likes it.
4. Tervis Wine Glass Set ($40): Ask the wino how many wine glasses she's broken over the years and the answer is probably somewhere between 6 and 100. Why is something so delicate the chosen apparatus for getting wine drunk? The world will never know, and neither will the wino—all she knows is that she can't afford to keep breaking and replacing wine glasses. Enter the Tervis Wine Glass Set. Perfect for patio drinking, the glasses are indestructible and will keep your white wine chilled even when sitting outside on a hot summer day.
5. Fermented Grapes Wine Box ($59, Scoutmob Shoppe): Given the wino's proclivities, it's safe to assume she probably already has a wine rack (whether it's a nice one remains to be seen). Instead, get her something that will nicely display a bottle of wine she has reserved for special occasions, like this Fermented Grapes Wine Box. Though, it's probably ALSO safe to assume that she doesn't have anything reserved for special occasions because she drinks any wine she buys immediately, so buy her a bottle and gift it with the box—she ain't gonna spend $50+ on a bottle for herself…yet.

Is NFL Sunday Ticket possibly coming to Apple TV+?
Apple has reportedly shown interest in potentially acquiring the NFL's Sunday service.
GearBrain Editorial Team
Apple may be throwing its hand in for bidding on the NFL Sunday Ticket, according to a report from The Information. The package of Sunday Night football games is currently held by DirecTV, a deal which is set to expire in 2022.
But Apple is apparently interested in the streaming rights, which is now up for auction. The games would be then available through Apple TV+ streaming site.
Apple TV+ launched November 1, 2019, a $4.99 monthly service which can be viewed through an Apple TV but also through the Apple TV app on the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and other devices.
Apple TV+ with shows and content available through its service Apple
The service became an immediate competitor to Netflix, Disney+ and also Amazon Prime. HBO beefed up its service the following year, in 2020, with the launch of HBO Max.
NFL Sunday Ticket is itself a streaming offer, which airs football games that are being played by the NF on Sunday, to anyone who subscribes. Local games, though, are still blacked out in that market. The service launched in 1994.
Amazon, one of the streaming service competitors to Apple TV+ has rights currently for some NFL games through Thursday Night Football, which it acquired in 2017. That gives Amazon the ability to show 15 regular games as well as on pre-season game every year through 2032 on Prime Video.
Apple has yet to move into sports, instead focusing, since its launch on a heavy rotation that includes original TV series and movies on its Apple TV+ streaming service. But Apple has recently hired James DeLorenzo, the former head of sports for Amazon Video, noted The Information — and this could be the reason for its decision to start looking at sports to fill out its service.

What is a good coaching relationship? I think the best is one where both members of the relationship gets something out of the relationship.
One of the most interesting is a relationship between someone selling services and a potential customer who might need his services. Often the salesperson has valuable talents and experiences that are of real value to the potential customer of the services. The salesperson has much to gain from developing a trusting relationship with the customer. Each person can gain value in spending quality time with each other.
I recall a seminar by David Maister who talked about building long term realtionship versus going after the quick sale. He used the metaphor of a one night stand versus a marriage. I think all of us in the consulting business seek the long term realtionship. All of us are willing to invest time helping our potential client achieve his goals because we know a successful client will lead to opportunities to to business. This relationship fulfils the requirements of both parties deriving benefit from the relationship.
There are also other examples. For example a priest or minister strives to help people grow spiritually and a person who seeks ot help in growing spiritually creates an allignment of goals. They have potential if they can develop a trusting relationship and an open dialogue. The agenda of the spititual director however should be clear because sometimes their agenda is simply to convince the person of one point of view.
Harvey, one of my mentors and coaches, believes that helping another person was its own reward and he really practiced "casting your bread upon the water" and it will come back to feed you. I hope some of my readers are familiar with that old saying. He was a great example of a selfless coach. I am afraid I have never been able to achieve that ideal but do welcome the opportunity to help others. My agenda often is that the person will succeed and be grateful of my help.
I recall something my father shared with me after he had retired. He said that on reflection he was more proud of the people he had helped over the projects he had done because of the multipling effect of helping others. You help one person he helps others, they help others and lotsof people are helped.
Harvey certainly created many people who reached out and helped others. Funny though, some people did not trust Harvey and always suspected his motives.
Again it emphasizes the importance of trust and shared agendas in a productive coaching relationship.
