Hi, welcome to the twelve-minute quick-start tutorial.
Depending on which database you're using, you may also have to install the database bindings to support that database. SQLite is included in the Python core, but PostgreSQL requires psycopg2 to be installed. MySQL can be enabled by installing the mysql-db drivers.
The list of filter columns given as the second argument filter using the values in the first column. If you don't want to update over a particular value, just use the auto-generated id column.
Now contents will be returned in stuf objects (basically, dict objects whose elements can be acessed as attributes (item.name) as well as by index (item['name']).

Peak: 12 US, 4 UK
Review: "Following on the heels of an album where he repudiated his past with his greatest backing band, Blood on the Tracks finds Bob Dylan, in a way, retreating to the past, recording a largely quiet, acoustic-based album." AMG Inspired by "the collapse of his marriage to Sara Lowndes" RS500 and "recorded after a tour with the Band had apparently re-ignited his creativity, Blood is among Dylan's masterpieces." AZ
"This is the sound of an artist returning to his strengths, what feels most familiar, as he accepts a traumatic situation, namely the breakdown of his marriage. This is an album alternately bitter, sorrowful, regretful, and peaceful, easily the closest he ever came to wearing his emotions on his sleeve. That's not to say that it's an explicitly confessional record, since many songs are riddles or allegories, yet the warmth of the music makes it feel that way." AMG
The album's best-known song is Tangled Up in Blue, which he once introduced onstage "as taking him ten years to live and two years to write." RS500 "In fact, he wrote all of these lyrically piercing, gingerly majestic folk-pop songs in two months, in mid-1974. He was so proud of them that he privately auditioned almost all of the album, from start to finish, for pals and peers including Mike Bloomfield, David Crosby and Graham Nash before cutting them in September – in just a week with members of the bluegrass band Deliverance." RS500 "But in December, Dylan played the record for his brother David in Minneapolis, who suggested recutting some songs with local musicians. The final Blood was a mix of New York and Minneapolis tapes; Dylanologists still debate the merits of the two sessions." RS500

news Voting Rights
FL House Votes To Require Ex-Felons Pay Back Huge Fees Before Re-Enfranchisement
The Washington Post/The Washington Post
By Matt Shuham
The Florida House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a resolution to require former felons to pay potentially thousands of dollars in fines, fees, court costs and restitution (even restitution converted to a civil lien) in order to be allowed to vote, placing a huge asterisk on Amendment 4, the widely supported constitutional change that gives most felons their voting rights back after they "complete all terms of their sentence."
The House version of Amendment 4 implementation is not yet law; the state Senate, which is also Republican-controlled, is considering a version that would still require the repayment of restitution, but not restitution converted to a civil lien, nor other expenses like fees, fines and court costs, the Orlando Sentinel noted Wednesday. The House version passed along party lines.
Many argue that the amendment text voters overwhelmingly approved was meant to be "self-implementing" or "self-executing" and therefore doesn't require Republican legislative fine print.
In January, WLRN tallied potentially hundreds of millions of dollars that ex-felons would have to pay in order to vote. That would also be a boon for private debt collection agencies, the report noted, which some counties allow to tack on huge fees on top of the existing debts.
Florida has some of the most burdensome conviction-related expenses in the county, and advocates for felon re-enfranchisement have compared making the right to vote conditional upon paying them back to a modern poll tax.
"It's blatantly unconstitutional as a poll tax," Rep. Adam Hattersley (D-Riverview) said in March.
In addition to the discrepancy over fees, the Senate's version also more narrowly defines which former felons would not be re-enfranchised due to the nature of their convictions: Amendment 4 excludes people "convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense." The House version would include every felony sexual offense currently on the books, while the Senate's version is more limited.
The legislative session ends May 3. Amendment 4 got more votes than any statewide elected official, including Sen. Rick Scott (R) and Gov. Ron DeSantis, in the 2018 elections. It replaced Florida's comically arbitrary status quo for rights restoration.


NOTE: Fee for cemetery lots for non-residents is doubled. This is due to the cost of maintaining our Cemetery. The City, Friends of Oakland Cemetery Committee and its residents take a great deal of pride in the beauty and quality of our cemetery. They are maintained throughout the year, and offer attractive locations for eternal resting place. Persons interested in purchasing a space or a lot at the Oakland Cemetery should contact Centerville City Hall at (641)437-4339.
Please contact City Hall at (641)437-4339 to schedule a burial at Oakland Cemetery.
NOTE: Currently you can Contact City Hall (641)437-4339. We hope in the future to have burial records information available on website or in the Drake Public Library.
For purposes of maintaining a quality and aesthetically pleasing Oakland Cemetery, the City has established certain parameters for decorations. During Memorial Day decorations are allowed 10 days before Memorial Day and 10 days after Memorial Day decorations are required to be removed. Decorations are allowed the remainder of the year if decorations are on stone with any appropriate, non-offensive decorations. The determination of whether a decoration is of an appropriate nature will be made by cemetery personnel. Shepherd hooks must be placed in the footing of the headstone; the top of the hook shall not be more than 18" above the top of the headstone and must hang over the headstone. The addition will be at least four inches (4") thick and must be the same width as the existing headstone. Veteran and organizational markers must also be placed in the headstone footing. Decorations that do not conform to this policy will be removed and kept for thirty days. Decorations not picked up within thirty days will be thrown away. The City works very hard to maintain the cemetery, manicure the grounds, and keep the park clean. Cooperation with these guidelines will greatly help us, and will please our patrons.
Friends of Oakland Cemetery have set up the Bi-Annual Clean-up days in the cemetery for anyone interested in volunteering to help clean up. These days will be the weekend before Memorial Day weekend and weekend before Pancake Day in Centerville, which is the last Saturday in September. Friends look forward beautifying our Cemetery.
Memorial Day Service is held in Cemetery on Memorial Day. Veteran's Day Service is held in Cemetery on Veteran's Day. Also, Historical Society has an annual Haunted History Tour walk through in Cemetery sometime in October. There are several dedications and remembrances' held at Oakland Cemetery.
Friends of Oakland Cemetery are looking for donations to help support our Cemetery. If you are interested in supporting the Friends of Oakland Cemetery, monetary donations can be sent to: Friends of Oakland Cemetery, PO Box 578, Centerville, IA 52544.

Writing Romance: How I Discovered the "Secret Plotting Formula"
Adrienne deWolfe
You write, and revise, and re-write some more, but you're still no closer to selling your sexy Romance novel.
Sound familiar? I can relate.
NEW YORK EDITORS DIDN'T AGREE…
When I fell in love with Romance novels, I wanted to write what I was reading. I even had a talent for writing; at least, my high school English teacher seemed to think so. She gave me A's on all my essays. But for some reason, New York publishers weren't as appreciative of my efforts.
So I thought, "I know! I'll find a group of writers, people like me who want to GET PAID to write Romance novels." So I joined a critique group. (Actually, I joined 4 critique groups. But who's counting?)
Every week, like clockwork, I would meet with my writing buddies. Some of us were published. Some weren't. Some of us wrote reams of pages every day. Some wrote only a few pages a week. Despite our hectic schedules, we were all writing Romance seriously. I trusted and valued the feedback of my critique groups. That's why I rushed home after every meeting and faithfully revised my manuscript.
BETA READERS CAN HARM YOUR BOOK
After 6 years and hundreds of critiques, I was still receiving rejection letters from New York publishers! One editor informed me that my writing was stale—that I'd revised Chapter 1 "to death."
And I thought:
'What does she mean?!
'How can she know that?!'
I was SO frustrated and SO confused, I didn't think I'd ever earn a contract for writing Romance.
WHAT FINALLY GOT ME PUBLISHED?
The answer to that question may surprise you.
I didn't achieve my publishing dream just because I completed 2 novels. Or sat through dozens of workshops at 5 national conventions for Romance writers.
I didn't get published because I was picked as a finalist in a prestigious, national Romance writing contest.
Or because I acquired 2 literary agents!
I got my first book contract because I found a published mentor, who was willing to admit what so many of her peers had staunchly denied:
There's a formula for writing Romance novels.
YES, THERE REALLY IS A FORMULA FOR WRITING ROMANCE NOVELS
I'm not sure why Romance authors get so defensive about the topic of formulaic writing. All commercial fiction has a formula.
In fact, it's the formula that keeps readers buying genre books!
In the Horror genre, the villain is supposed to be a whacked-out psycho.
In the Fantasy genre, the protagonist has to cope with magic or the supernatural.
In the Western genre, the hero must decide whether to embrace "The Law of the Gun."
In the Romance genre, readers also have a clear and specific set of expectations. If you want to earn money writing Romance novels, you must satisfy the expectations of your reading audience. That means you need to write a cohesive plot that puts all the "right" elements of a Romance in the "right" order.
WRITING ROMANCE IS NOT LIKE WRITING ANYTHING ELSE
Writing Romance is not like writing English essays, or news articles, or mysteries, or fantasy novels. There's a secret formula to writing Romance—a formula that popular authors have mastered. (That's why their books sell so well!) To learn that formula, you would have to study hundreds of sexy Romance novels (which doesn't always guarantee success.)
Click image to learn more.
Or you would have to spend thousands of dollars at a local college—assuming, of course, that your college professor actually knows the Romance formula. Unfortunately, most college professors only know how to teach literary fiction. A literary novel won't earn you a book contract from Harlequin, Avon, or Entangled.
Now let's be real. If you're like most wordsmiths, you don't have enough time to write, much less to study writing. You're probably cramming a bazillion responsibilities into your day, and your laptop doesn't even get fired up until you've shooed everybody off to bed.

Earnest by Kristin Von Kreisler is a great story about how a couple adopts a yellow Labrador, and how the bond they've created stands against the test of life's struggles. The story is told from three perspectives: Anna, Jeff, and their dog, Earnest. When Earnest's humans feel themselves drifting apart after being together for 3 years, Earnest does what dogs do best: he gives endless love and reminds the couple that they should fight for each other because deep down, love is the strongest emotion. It's a classic, "Why won't they get back together already?! They love each other! Come on!" with the twist of their dog's insight. A very fun & heart-warming read indeed!

Q: powershell get PATH variable change log in eventviewer Am trying to get the event log detailed information for PATH environment variable change from System and Security events but unable to get it easily.
I tried Get-EventLog system | Format-List and Get-EventLog Security | Format-List but its giving other details. Is there any way to get the details log for PATH environment variable change from when the server provisioned on Windows 2008 R2?

A: Assuming you have auditing configured to monitor the registry key that stores environment variables...

*

*Set Local Security Policy => Security Settings => Local Policies => Audit Policy => Audit object access to Success or Success, Failure.

*On the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment registry key add an audit rule for the Everyone principal and at least the Set value permission.

...you can run the following from an elevated PowerShell session to retrieve the event log entries created by modifiying the %PATH% environment variable.  The output objects will contain select properties common to all event log entry types as well as those specifically for a registry modification event, so you can access which user and process changed %PATH% and to/from what value.
$auditingProviderName = 'Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing';
$registryValueModifiedEventId = 4657;

$auditingProvider = Get-WinEvent -ListProvider $auditingProviderName;
# Get the metadata for the "registry value modified" event
$registryValueModifiedEvent = $auditingProvider.Events `
    | Where-Object -Property 'ID' -EQ -Value $registryValueModifiedEventId;
# Store an array of property names in the order they will appear in each log entry
$registryValueModifiedEventPropertyNames = $registryValueModifiedEvent.Template `
    | Select-Xml `
        -Namespace @{ 'default' = 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events'; } `
        -XPath '/default:template/default:data' `
    | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'Node' `
    | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'name';

# Construct an XPath expression to filter for auditing events where the Path value of the Environment key has been modified
# This assumes HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet is a link to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001
$xpathFilter = @"
    *[
        System[
            Provider[@Name = '$auditingProviderName']
                and EventID = $registryValueModifiedEventId
        ]
    ]
    [
        EventData[
            Data[@Name = 'ObjectName'] = '\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment'
                and Data[@Name = 'ObjectValueName'] = 'Path'
        ]
    ]
"@;
Get-WinEvent -LogName 'Security' -FilterXPath $xpathFilter `
    | ForEach-Object -Process {
        $outputProperties = [Ordered] @{
            MachineName = $_.MachineName;
            TimeCreated = $_.TimeCreated;
            #TODO: Copy additional properties from the event log entry object ($_)
        };

        # Copy each log entry property value to an output object property of the same name
        for ($i = 0; $i -lt $registryValueModifiedEventPropertyNames.Length; $i++)
        {
            $name = $registryValueModifiedEventPropertyNames[$i];
            $value = $_.Properties[$i].Value;

            $outputProperties[$name] = $value;

Sri Lanka Chief Justice grilled over coup claims
Friday January 23, 2015 23:37
COLOMBO (AFP) – Sri Lanka's chief justice was questioned by criminal investigators Friday following allegations that he tried to help the former president Mahinda Rajapakse retain power illegally, a minister said.
Chief Justice Mohan Peiris was interviewed over a complaint that he and the former president allegedly conspired to keep the strongman in power in a meeting at Rajapakse's home, Public Security minister John Amaratunga said.
"The chief justice was questioned today about the (alleged) coup and a statement has been recorded," the minister told reporters in Colombo. He added that investigations were proceeding.
The questioning came after the chief justice was banned from a meeting of Asian legal experts in Colombo Monday when Sri Lanka's bar association threatened a boycott if he was allowed to participate.
Police have opened a criminal investigation into claims that the defeated strongman Rajapakse tried to use military force to stay in power as early results of the January 8 election showed he was headed for defeat.
There has been no public comment from the chief justice who had been seen in the company of Rajapakse and is accused of trying to legitimise a state of emergency after causing unrest at vote counting centres.
Rajapakse had appointed Peiris after impeaching the previous chief justice Shirani Bandaranayake in January 2013 when her rulings went against his administration.
President Maithripala Sirisena, who was sworn in on January 9, has vowed to restore Bandaranayake to the role.
Foreign minister Mangala Samaraweera has lodged a formal complaint that Rajapakse tried to use military force to stay in power.

haModia (hebräisch המודיע, übersetzt "Der Ansager") ist eine hebräischsprachige Tageszeitung, die in Israel herausgegeben wird. Eine täglich erscheinende englische Ausgabe wird auch in den Vereinigten Staaten, dem Vereinigten Königreich und in Israel herausgegeben. Die US-amerikanische Ausgabe war die erste jüdisch-ultraorthodoxe Tageszeitung, die jemals auf Englisch in den USA herausgegeben wurde.

Die redaktionellen Leitlinien spiegeln die ultraorthodoxe Sichtweise wider. Allerdings sind die redaktionellen Leitlinien in den USA gemäßigter als die in Israel.
Zum Beispiel erlaubt die US-Ausgabe den Abdruck von Bildern der Rabbiner und Werbungen mit Internetadressen, während es dies in der israelischen Ausgabe nicht gibt. Eine wöchentliche Ausgabe, auch auf Englisch, wird in London (hauptsächlich für den europäischen Markt) herausgegeben.

In einigen Strömungen des ultraorthodoxen Judentums ist der Gebrauch des Internets lediglich zu geschäftlichen Zwecken erlaubt, und es wird das Lesen säkularer Zeitungen vermieden. Für Anhänger dieser Gruppen sind Zeitungen wie haModia die einzige Nachrichtenquelle. Wie im ultraorthodoxen Judentum üblich, werden in haModia keine Fotos von Frauen veröffentlicht, da dies als unanständig betrachtet wird.

Jane's Addiction's 1988 breakthrough album, Nothing's Shocking, had a seismic impact. With a bracing combination of metal, punk, and psychedelia, coupled with lead singer Perry Farrell's banshee-ina- wind-tunnel vocals, Jane's Addiction helped put alternative music on the map. The band helped pave the way for the mainstream success of bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. Along the way, Jane's Addiction released another classic album, Ritual de lo Habitual (with the hit "Been Caught Stealing"), founded the Lollapalooza festival, and openly celebrated a bacchanalian lifestyle that blurred all lines of gender and sexuality. Drawn from original interviews with the band, their friends, and their musical colleagues, Whores takes readers through Farrell's early sonic experiments with Psi-Com and the formative days of Jane's Addiction to their drug-addled break-up and controversial reunion with 2003's Strays. Along the way it provides a candid, often disturbing glimpse into the dynamic alternative rock scene of Los Angeles in the '80s and '90s.

Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi Volume 8 Chapter 2
Continues on from Chapter 1 – Bad News and the Return of Veronica
Continues on to Chapter 3 – Peaceful Life and the Sound of Approaching Military Boots
Part 1. Part 2.
Chapter 2 – The Dark-Eyed Girl
In the capital of the Chevron Kingdom, Arkham.
The sunset in the west of the royal capital's sky shrouded the sky with a brilliant glow. The Third Prince Uriel sat in a royal carriage as he travelled on a bumpy road which followed an important route. Sitting beside him was his lover, the Second Princess Cassandra Lautreamont. Her straight dark hair exuded a noble lustre, and its length reached down to her waist. Underneath her straight bangs, her amber eyes shone with a seductive glint. Her curvaceous body was dressed in a gorgeous evening dress. The luxurious fabric shimmered with a silvery light and the top was adorned with colourful gems. The necklaces, bracelets, rings and other accessories which she wore had all been carefully crafted by the most prestigious jewellers, and each one of them added a further touch of lustre to Cassandra's innate beauty. Cassandra leisurely gazed into the streets from her window.
Presently, the capital was awash with the major news that 'Zacharias III is ill' and 'The Paladin of the Knight Country Oswald will be executed'. At every street corner, it was possible to see newspaper vendors completely surrounded by people carrying small change as they sought to access more information. The person who ordered the execution of Oswald was not Zacharias III, but Uriel himself. The King of Chevron seemed to be in a desperate struggle against death itself in a palace that had been designated for his recuperation. Perhaps when he was involved in the Pluto Incident, his mind had been overburdened. Thus, the chronic diseases which had been kept at bay for many years finally relapsed when he returned home. To Cassandra, Oswald was her own father. Yet, Cassandra hadn't expressed any objections in response to Uriel's decision to execute Oswald. It could even be said that the current situation made her feel rather happy.
"…You're a wicked woman, Cassandra. Even when you know that I'm the one who initiated the decision to execute Oswald, you're still riding in the same carriage with me."
Cassandra lightly raised the corners of her lips which had been coloured by purple lipstick.
"Fufu…it's because I don't feel bored when I'm with you."
"If what you say is true, are you saying that you'll be my woman? Every time I spend the night with you, you make me taste the pain of a living death…"
Uriel stared at Cassandra's chest with a look of desire and lust.
"Oh dear. Don't think of me like that, I'm actually rather conservative. It's the most important thing for a woman, so I can't be giving it away lightly, can I? Even if my partner is the prince of a country."
"Hmph…to think that the <Diabolic Belladonna> was capable of such words."
"Strictly speaking, the two of us don't count as lovers."
"…Indeed. The reason why we pretend to be lovers is because of our deeply aligned interests. There is no doubt in that regard."
"Yes. The Dark Dragon King Mordred currently resides within my body. Although he was defeated at the hands of Ash and Eco, lost to despair, and is currently in hibernation…he will surely awaken once more. I hope until that day comes, I'll be able to stay in the safest and most secure place in the world to wait and hope."
"As long as you stay by my side, your safety will be guaranteed, and I also have a personal interest in the power of the Dark Dragon King. If possible, I'd like to borrow that power…"
"Oh my. You meant to say 'swallow', and not 'borrow', right?"
Uriel revealed a bitter smile.
"You're so strict. Leaving the matters of power aside, I'm not sure I can hold back in the face of your present beauty—"
The carriage slowly came to a halt, which prompted Uriel to cut his words off halfway. The guards surrounding the carriage also pulled on the reins and stopped. The royal carriage intended only for the exclusive use of members of the Chevron Royal Family had arrived at the entrance of the Royal Opera House. The show scheduled for today was the [Tale of Zauberflöte]. It was an opera that had been written in the Zepharos Empire a hundred years ago. Operas from the Empire rarely had the opportunity to be performed on the stage of the Kingdom. The fact that the Kingdom and the Empire were enemies was one of the reasons, but the main reason was that most people thought the imperial language had cold and rigid pronunciation, thus making it unsuitable for operas. However, [Tale of Zauberflöte] had an amazing soundtrack, the story seemed like a folk tale, and children were able to watch it with gusto. Even though it was marred by the pronunciation of the imperial language, it was an undeniable fact that it was a masterpiece, and it was loved by men, women and children. The story of the opera went like—.
Under the guidance of the <Queen of the Night>, a young prince embarks on a journey with an innocent girl to defeat an evil priest. However, there is a dramatic reversal in the plot halfway through; the priest that they believed to be evil turns out to be an ally of justice, and the Queen is revealed to be the embodiment of evil. In order to defeat the Queen, the prince and the girl undertake various trials. The magic flute mentioned in the title is repeatedly used to help the prince and the girl — <Zauberflöte>. Thus, the prince and the girl successfully defeat the Queen, and formally become engaged—.
…However, neither Uriel nor Cassandra had come to watch the opera today. The coachman dressed in royal uniform respectfully opened the door to the carriage. After Uriel gracefully exited the carriage, he extended his hand out to Cassandra. As the pedestrians passing along the road noticed the Third Prince, they began to cheer and shout with joy, but Uriel turned a blind eye to them.
"Let's go, Cassandra. The key person who is indispensable to my plan is waiting here for us."
"You just seem to love teasing me as well. Why not just tell me the answer?"
Upon seeing Cassandra distort her face slightly out of bemusement, Uriel returned a smug smile as if responding to her attitude.
"It'll ruin the fun of the mystery, so let's just leave it until you meet."
The opera had begun. Although the stage curtains hadn't yet been pulled up, the orchestra was playing a lively prelude. The VIP seats were located in the centre of the uppermost level. The VIP room had been separated into a private suite with the intention that other viewers would not be able to see the interior.
"—I am here, Your Highness Uriel."
As soon as Uriel and Cassandra entered the VIP room, a noble young man immediately stood up. Cassandra silently looked at the young man. The young man didn't look as though he was older than thirty, and both his appearance and build were quite handsome. Based on his clothing and demeanour, he was likely a high-class aristocrat. It was just that he seemed different from the opulent Chevron nobility. Compared to them, he gave off the impression that he was more military-like. And the way he spoke the Chevron language vaguely indicated that he had some kind of foreign accent. After Uriel and the young man shook hands familiarly, they both smiled.
"Long time no see, my dear friend — Count Klaus of the Vandenhaar border."
The moment she heard that name, even Cassandra couldn't help but feel surprised.
On the stage, the <Queen of the Night> had just begun her solo. After greeting each other, the Kingdom's Third Prince and the Empire's military aristocrat began their secret conversation.
"It was certainly a heavy loss for you in Fontaine City, Klaus."
"There's nothing else that can be said. I lost the airship Beowulf that was bestowed upon me by His Majesty the Emperor. And now…the rumours in the court of my country about who will be appointed as the next Count of the Vandenhaar border are causing a major ruckus."
"You look rather calm to me though."
After Cassandra shook off her initial shock and interjected from the side, Klaus showed a thin smile.
"Of course, that's only because I have the support of His Highness Uriel here. His Highness is the best candidate to become the next King of Chevron. No, after His Highness annexes the Knight Country and gains the power of the dragons, it would no longer simply be a dream to unify the entire continent of Ark Strada. My allegiance no longer lies with the old and dying Emperor, but you who shall be the future King of the world—"
Klaus bowed to Uriel in a respectful manner. When he raised his head again, Cassandra noticed that his eyes were burning with a dark flame.
"Moreover…I will no longer allow Ash Blake and the young dragon Eco to do as they please. I've decided to prepare a grand gift to return to those two people — no, it would be more correct to say a person and a dragon."
Indeed, after Klaus lost the airship Beowulf, he seemed to hold a grudge against Ash and Eco. Just as Cassandra saw the emotion burning in his eyes, she lost interest in him. The anticipation of the demise of their motherland was something that he shared with Cassandra. It was just that Cassandra disliked how a great man such as him had become obsessed with a personal grievance.
There was a girl who sat alone in a corner of the VIP room. Even though the young girl gave off the delicacy and charm of a white lily, they were unable to clearly see her appearance. It was because she wore a metal mask which covered the upper part of her face. The part of the mask where her eyes should have been was closed shut, and it seemed to be engraved with an eerie pattern. The girl gave off the impression that she was as fragile as a glass doll. Combined with the strange mask that she wore, she completed lacked a feeling of feminism. Cassandra thought to herself
"No matter how I see it, she can't possibly be Klaus' lover…"
On the stage, the prince and the heroine began to sing a duet. The treble of their voices was a perfect combination, and a surging wave of emotions poured out from the audience.
Cassandra didn't miss what seemed to be a sigh from the girl's mouth. Within this VIP room, it seemed as though only the girl was seriously listening to the opera. While Cassandra continued to observe the girl, the secret conversation between the two men progressed to the next stage before she realised….
"Klaus, I hope that you'll be able to send troops to capture Ansarivan."
Uriel's bold request immediately caught Cassandra's attention.
"The Knight Country's government should be preoccupied with the issue of their Paladin. They don't have the leeway to think about a remote city such as Ansarivan. Even Veronica who was originally recuperating in Ansarivan has immediately rushed back to Fontaine City. By the time the Knight Country's government realise what's happened to Ansarivan, it'll already be too late."
"You are truly admirable, Your Highness. After anticipating the future, you publically announced the execution of the Paladin. Is that also a part of your strategy, Your Highness?"
A cruel smile surfaced on Klaus' face.
"In that case — I'll release the fierce <Ice Wolves(Fenrir)> in the paradise that the dragons live in."
"That's the one known as the Empire's strongest land unit…that's a dose of reassurance."
"It's not just that, we also have a trump card."
Klaus conceitedly put his hand on the shoulder of the girl who sat beside him.
"Come, give His Highness Uriel a greeting."
"Understood, master."
The girl got up from her seat without another word. She then grabbed her skirt with both hands and curtsied towards Uriel.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness Uriel."
Perhaps out of nervousness, the girl's movements were rather stiff and unnatural.
"She is a proud creation of the National Institute of Magical Engineering. They used the information provided by Your Highness Uriel on Celestina Lafon as a foundation to successfully develop this weapon. We've given her the name of Kriemhild."
Right in the girl's presence, Klaus brazenly called her a 'weapon'. Although the girl wore a pretty dress, it was mostly likely just a ruse so that she didn't draw attention to herself in the opera theatre. Klaus clearly didn't see the girl as a human being. Uriel gasped and stared at Kriemhild in amazement.
"The mechanical Empire of Zepharos is truly incredible. I didn't think you'd be able to artificially synthesise <Pluto Children>."
"Oh please, Your Highness. Do you not believe in the technical prowess of my country?"
Perhaps feeling thrilled by Uriel's overinflated reaction, Klaus spoke in jest.
"Of course I believe in you guys. I simply thought that it would take a long time in order to succeed. Speaking of which, can Kriemhild use the same power as Celestina?"
"Yes, she can invade a dragon's mind and control it as she pleases. According to the experiments we performed with her on the Basilisks in the savannah, she was able to manipulate a hundred lizards at once to act as an army."
"Oh, it is generally said that Basilisks are relatives of the Asia. And she was able to control a hundred of them at the same time…"
Perhaps because he felt elated upon seeing Uriel's reaction of praise, Klaus began to wear a confident smile.
"Kriemhild's abilities are not even comparable to those of Celestina. To prove that these aren't just empty claims, I will put on a demonstration in Ansarivan. To us, she is our vital <Zauberflöte>."
"Kriemhild ~A.S.B.1365.11~" is closed.

If a property is in need of repair is the tenant or the landlord responsible for carrying out repairs ?
Much will depend on what is written in the tenancy agreement, but broadly speaking the tenant will be responsible for repairs to contents and the interior of the property.
The law says the landlord is responsible for the structure and exterior of the property, (despite what is in the tenancy agreement) as well as "installations", such as gas, electricity, water, heating and sanitation.


A plexi glassed Rolex Submariner with date from 1972, that can only be a RED Sub zijn! This one is in very nice and original condition, only thing changed is the bracelet. Lugs are very sharp, nice patina on the dial and hands and insert, matching colors, stunning ghost inlay! Like any real vintage watch that is 45 years old, there are also some marks on this one. in particular the 10/22 hour index has lost some tritium. But this is noticable under big lights and camera zoom-in, not in real life. Both the 3422XXX serial and the stamped date in the back lid indicate a 1972 produced Sub. The folded Oyster bracelet has been changed around 1978 with its current 93150 Oyster bracelet and is in very nice condition.

Q: How to apply method datatable to table which is created on a fly I'm creating table dynamically via button click event
function createTable() {
    $.ajax ({
        url: 'php/GetData.php',
        type: 'POST',
        data: {id:25},
        success: function(msg){
            var obj = JSON.parse(msg);
            var tableString = "

NameAgeBirthday

";

            for (var i=0; i<obj.length; i++) {
                //alert(obj[i].name);
                tableString += gg_stringformat("
{0}{1}{2}
", obj[i].name, obj[i].age, obj[i].birthday);
            }

            tableString += "

";
            //alert(tableString);

            $('#divb').html(tableString);
            $('#tbla').dataTable();
        }
    });
}

Method

$('#tbla').dataTable();

doesn't work.
 When I place this line in $(document).ready(function(){.....}); error occurs and and nothing is visible. Because the table with this id, still not presented. How does achieve this task?
All appropriate files are linked properly.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="DataTables/dataTables.min.css"></style>

function gg_stringformat() {
var argcount = arguments.length,
    string,
    i;

if (!argcount) {
    return "";
}
if (argcount === 1) {
    return arguments[0];
}
string = arguments[0];
for (i = 1; i < argcount; i++) {
    string = string.replace(new RegExp('\\{' + (i - 1) + '}', 'gi'), arguments[i]);
}
return string;
}

A: There are a few errors in the HTML you're using to construct the table. You don't close any of the  or  tags. That could very well be causing the problem.
Rather than alert, try doing console.log(tableString) at the end, and then examine the output to see if it is valid HTML.
Also, try commenting out the final call to dataTable, and see whether the function is at least capable of constructing the basic table.
If none of those things resolve it, perhaps the problem is with the XHR call. Is msg shaped the way you expect? Is there a bug in gg_stringformat?


Patch Manager Plus requires credentials like user name and password to perform various desktop management activities inside the product, say for adding a domain or workgroup, for deploying patch configurations etc., These credentials details are collected at different places dependent on where they are required, and managing them across the product is tedious and time consuming. Credential Manager provides a unified solution to store and manage all these credentials globally from a centralized location.
Credential manager validates the domain credentials while you add them and the invalid credentials are not accepted. Any changes related to the user name or password of domain credentials are notified to you in the form of alerts. Thus you can incorporate these changes globally using credential manager, instead of changing them in all the areas across the product. Other workgroup and user credentials are not validated using credential manager, so ensure that you provide the correct details. The workgroup and domain credentials added under the scope of management are considered as root account credentials and are automatically stored in the credential manager. You are not allowed to delete these root account credentials, if needed you can edit or modify them. Similarly you are not allowed to delete a credential, if it is used inside the product.
Users other than administrators with write privileges can also add the credentials, by finding credential manager under the settings tab. These users do not have the privileges to view or edit the credentials added by the administrator and other users. The privilege to view all the credentials is given only to the administrator.

Robert F. Kennedy: A man who saw things that never happened and wondered why not
When I think of Robert F Kennedy I think of man who saw the vision of what America could become if we lived up to our Full Potential. Someone who could see what the country could become and saw America as a great country. The greatest country in the World but that it wasn't as great as it could be or should be. So it could work for the whole country and not just a special few and the well connected. A man who didn't think it was bad that people succeed on their own. And made successful lives for themselves and their families and even earned a lot of money. But wanted all americans to be able to have that opportunity, not punish the successful for being successful. And saw 25% of the country living in poverty was way too many. Especially for the richest country in the World and that we as a country had to do something to help these people. Empower them to have the opportunity to get a good education, work hard, get a good job, make a good living. And be Self Sufficient in life and not live in Deep Poverty either in Urban Centers or in Rural Communities, that Sen. Kennedy didn't believe in bashing America. But he wanted America to work better so the whole country can benefit from the vast wealth that America has as a country.
I don't see Bobby Kennedy as someone who laid down policy's and had a huge agenda for how America could work better. Like Lyndon Johnson, Franklin Rossevelt or even Bill Clinton. But as a man sorta like Barack Obama today as someone who laid out where we are as a country. Where we've come from and where we need to go and laid down the goals that America should achieve as a country. And then was open to ideas perhaps even from all sides, on how to get there. Which is a lot how President Obama governs today but with mix results and had Sen. Kennedy been elected President in 1968. I believe his first 2-3 years as President would've looked somewhat similar. Because I don't believe he would've came to the White House saying this is what the agenda is for the next 100 days. And these are the policy's that we should accomplish, except for in Civil Rights and Foreign Policy. Where I believe his policy's and views were a lot more clear, he would've set out to end the Vietnam War right away. If not pull out all together and then try to open relations with the Soviet Union and gone from there.
Sen. Ted Kennedy Bobby's younger brother obviously, said that at his brother's funeral in 1968. That his brother said that "some men see things that never are and wonder why". And that Bobby "dreamed things that never happened and wondered why not". And I believe thats the best way to sum up Robert Kennedy's Political Career as a Senator from New York and later Presidential Candidate. I believe Sen. Kennedy saw the vision of what America could become as a country. But perhaps didn't have the ideas on how we can get there as a country.

Q: In Android Method requrning multiple values best practice from memory view point I want to return multiple values from method for this i wanted to select best way from memory & maintainability point.
Please tell me what will be the best approach only for android as i wanted to use this solution for android app.
Method 1:
public void getSomeJobDone(MyClass1 object,MyClass2 object){
}

If i used this way then problem is if i wanted to return one more value later then it increases code maintainability. As this method will have many usages from many points in code.
Method 2:
public HashMap<String,Object> getSomeJobDone(){
}

For this way if we look at the source code of HashMap it comes to know that internal it will create HashMapEntry for hash table.
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/libcore.git/+/android-3.2.4_r1/luni/src/main/java/java/util/HashMap.java
Method 3:
public Bundle getSomeJobDone(){
}

Have a look at this bundle returning method it is Parcelable and dont contain much data structures in it.
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/os/Bundle.java
So should i use Solution 3 or any other approach is better.
Thanks

Home Games 5 Possible Reasons Why You're Losing At LoL

5 Possible Reasons Why You're Losing At LoL
by Ava-Rose Calderon December 17, 2021
It has been many years since the release of League of Legends, and LoL is still one of the most popular multiplayer games that hold a high position according to many statistics. Whether it's the number of active players or the earnings it makes – this game is still firmly at the top of the list of the most popular games in the world.
However, some players have no way of solving certain game issues – and that prevents them from making top results and advancing in the rankings. On the other hand, some players have only recently started playing League of Legends. Just for you, we bring 5 possible reasons why you're losing at LoL.
Why Are You Losing At LoL?
Source: esportsedition.com
It is very easy to play League of Legends. Just log in to the site, download the client and play. However, the first problems soon appear. It is not hard to raise an account to level 30 and start playing ranked. Still, that's what shows how good you are at the game. All the other reasons we will give to you apply to both the Ranked and Normal options, but also other multiplayer titles in general. So, everything is in your hands and it is not as difficult as it seems.
1. You think you are better than other players in your division
Source: leagueoflegends.com
A lot of the players think they're better than the division they're in – but we have to disappoint you because that's usually not true. How much you want to be better in the League depends on whether you are a bit vain, or really interested in how to improve your game – and therefore the division in which you are.
It is necessary to accept the fact where you are currently in the divisions – and then analyze why. Other players are not to blame. After all, you can't influence them, so concentrate on yourself and your own game. Some players even raised the same account several times because they thought that their teammates were so bad that they could not move to another division.
However, the same thing would happen every time. So, accept your position in the division as it is – because if that wasn't a factual situation, you would not be where you are.
However, you can also try to do it the other way. According to www.aussyelo.com, if you think that you are so good and that only other players undermine you – buy a lol account and allow yourself to jump directly into the ranked matches. Here you will be able to prove to yourself whether or not you are as good as you think. Ultimately, you will either dominate or you will lose – so at least you will know where you stand.
2. LoL should be played with the head, not just the mouse and keyboard
Source: gamerone.gg
Now that we know that we are responsible for our rating – we can focus on the most common mistakes that players make and how to influence them. The first things we will solve are leavers or AFK players.
There are no statistics to confirm that this happens to you more often than to any other player in the world. Therefore, that can't be an excuse. It can be frustrating, but it can serve as a good practice for you to focus on the things that are more important in the game.
It will take time to fix mistakes because you are doing something wrong. There is no magic recipe that will make you a better player, but from game to game you have to correct mistakes – and before you know it, you will notice progress. If you prefer to play countless matches in the same division or constantly lose matches, don't even try. We all know that only those who are persistent succeed – so be that way when correcting your mistakes.
3. The map is there for a reason so follow it
Source: notagamer.net
Whatever role you prefer in the team, you have to understand that the match takes place on the entire map, and not just where you are at the moment. Of course, it's hard to keep track of what's going on if everything is hidden and you don't have an overview of key positions on the map.
Set up guards to protect yourself and the rest of the team. Each time you see opponents you can play according to their movements – making it easier to assess what they are trying to do and react accordingly. What often happens is that players do have a vision – but they just don't look at the map. To change that, after each or every two last hits, take a look at the map. Also, if you notice the movements of opposing players, warn the rest of the team about them.
4. Change your position, put the interests of the team ahead of yourself
If you're only playing one position, it's time to start playing something else. Here we come back to the fact that you have to put the interests of the team before you. You won't always get the champion you want or the position you prefer. So try to adapt and learn.
Playing more champions will help you progress, but also better understand them. It often happens that a professional player in the League of Legends Championship Series plays a hero and that day everyone is considered destined to play that particular hero in that position – which usually ends catastrophically.
5. The effort is always rewarded, so it is in LoL – so do your best
Source: pcgamer.com
Swallow your pride, admit your mistakes, and start working on them. Otherwise, nothing will change. No one appreciates a good kill-and-death ratio if you lost a match. No matter what games are there to keep you entertained, we all think it's more fun to win. Therefore, play smart, and after each game, think about what you did better than the last, and what you still need to work on.

By Carrie-ann | Feb 26, 2016 | Google news, How to get on the top of Google
4 Sponsored Google ads Instead of 3
For years the number of ads sitting above the organic results on Google's SERPs was limited to a maximum of three; a number which seemed adequate to meet the needs of the search giant and its advertising partners. But late last year all this changed and a trial involving boosting this upper limit to four ads began.
For a few weeks the number of SERPs which featured four ads made up less than one per cent of the queries served by Google. And yet in early February a spike in occurrences was the first sign that this initial test was being rolled out more widely.
Over a third of SERPs now feature the maximum of four ads, meaning that users are more likely to see this number of sponsored results than they are two or three paid links. In fact the four ad layout is now just as common as the single ad configuration, with the upward trend suggesting that it may eventually outpace it.
So how will this affect sponsored ads and PPC in general? Should advertisers be pleased as punch or critical of Google's latest update to SERP layouts?
Google Ads for Competitive Keywords
Why would Google instigate an increase in the number of top ads from three to four? To make more money, of course; a point made clear by the fact that the majority of four ad SERP appearances have been limited to high volume searches for valuable, generic keywords for which there is a lot of competition.
Google itself has admitted that it is the most commercial queries that are being targeted with the four top ad layout. And so you would think that for less common or less obviously enterprise-oriented keywords there would be a reduction in the appearance of four top ads. But various sources have suggested that this is not the case, with phrases including 'global warming' generating four ads rather than three or fewer.
Golden Opportunity or Unfortunate Alteration?
Google's decision to put more ads above organic results seems like a good one, both from its own point of view and from the perspective of clients who rely upon its ad platforms to gain new customers. One extra slot means one extra opportunity for smaller organisations to get their links displayed alongside larger competitors that may have been resolutely defending the top three paid positions in the past.
Of course actually being able to take advantage of this change will require hard work and skill with AdWords. And there is no guarantee that sponsored ads will remain in their current configuration. They may well undergo yet more manipulation at the hands of Google's engineers in the near future. So anyone using Google ads to earn visitors should remain vigilant.

Q: Remove Duplicate Polygons Using Open Source Tools I have a shapefile containing features with duplicate geometries, but different attributes (e.g. a polygon with attribute XX, and an identical polygon with attribute XY).  I want to identify the duplicates, then pick the one with the correct attributes, deleting the other.
I've tried topology tools in OpenJump/Kosmo, but without success.  They have a 'delete duplicates' tool that does what I want, except seems to arbitrarily delete one of the features rather than letting me pick which one to keep.
I have access to QGIS, OpenJUMP, Kosmo, etc. and am able to install other open source/free tools if required.
Thoughts?

A: Besides PostGIS, you could also use a topological open source GIS (GRASS):

*

*Download and install

*Start and select the Location manager, use the tool to generate a new project database from your SHAPE file (called "GRASS Location"), see here for a step-by-step guide

*Import the SHAPE file

*Use the "v.clean" tool which offers a series of options

*Export map back to SHAPE file format with "v.out.ogr"
Sidenote: we are planning to offer a WPS for this so that you can polish your data via our Web portal.

A: This is what I use to do in those cases.
As I understand it you will have to do a manual check to decide which one has the right attribute. Then I use to do it in two steps. First I make a table or a view in PostGIS with the duplicated polygons, then I open this table in a desktop GIS together with the original layer where I want to delete the duplicates. That will lead me to the duplicates through my duplicate table and I can delete in the original table or shapefile or whatever it is.
The query to find the duplicates will be something like this if you have a unique id called gid and a geometry column called the_geom:
create table duplicates as
select a.the_geom, a.gid, b.gid from mytable a, mytable b
where ST_Equals(a.the_geom, b.the_geom) and a.gid!=b.gid;

There is some variants on ST_Equals, but I think ST_Equals is the one you want. That will give you a table with the duplicate geometries and the gid (id) of the first and the second occasion of the polygon. You will get the same pair of duplicates twice though, but that shouldn't matter because you just want them to show you where they are.
HTH
Nicklas

A: If you are using PostGIS 1.5.x, check out the ST_HausdorffDistance() function.
Duplicate geometries will yield a value of 0. Use it like the mentiond self joins.
Pretty neat for comparing polygon shapes.

A: A more simple way to do. Calculate area in your desktop GIS and order by area ascending or descending. You will now have to check every line to see the duplicated objects in your attributes table. It's based on a supposition you never have exactly the same area for objects not duplicated althought it can be sometimes wrong.

TV documentary on Nazi Germany
I had an interesting trip to Hornsey Town hall today as part of a TV documentary on Nazi women. The venue was chosen because of its remarkable 1930's architecture, but while aspects of it are faintly redolent of the Third Reich, there is far more to this north London building. It's tucked away in an underwhelming forecourt and at first glance it appears both neglected and ugly, yet as the first UK building to be constructed in the Modernist style (1933), its interior finishes, marble, wooden panelling and especially the lovely metalwork, are beautiful and inspiring. Well worth a look if you're nearby.
