Home photography is an essential part of selling your home. Intent, coloring, and spacing are all important features to consider when you are getting ready to list your house. Check out these home photos to see what not to do.
Can I interest you in a comic or two while you do your business?
This person took lighting to a whole new level.
Don't worry, horses will be there to greet you in every room of the house.
Every time you wash your hands, you'll think of Marilyn Monroe.
Must be difficult living in a sideways house!
Doesn't get much better than a zoomed cell phone picture.
These photos are pretty comical, but are really out there. Intent, coloring, and spacing will help boost homebuyers' interest in your home.
Coloring: Yes brighter photos make your home feel warmer. However, there is such thing as too much light. Take time to edit photos to make sure people can see the features you want in your rooms, but don't change the expose to 100 to make it feel super bright. If someone sees your photos and they think, "yikes, my eyes hurt," it's time to take the brightness down. Also discoloration can make your photos feel cartoon-like so when you edit the color of your photos, make sure to keep your rooms looking realistic. People want to see the color and texture of your home, so enhance the color, don't distort it.
Spacing: Photos with the couch taking up the entire photo, are not appealing. Homebuyers don't get the couches after all. Strategize where you want your furniture, and how it looks to a person who has never seen your home before. Just a simple move of a chair could help your photo appear more clean and tidy. Also, commit if you're going to photograph with furniture of not. The in-between look can come across as unfinished and displeasing to the eye.
Intent, coloring, and spacing are this month's topics to consider when taking home photos. Remember, you don't need to spend a ton of money to hire a snazzy professional photography team, just prioritize what you want to capture in your home. At the Marketing Desks, we can help bring your home photo ideas to life. If you're not sure or not confident with your home photos, our photography team can help transform your home into a hot home.

DG Sanginga to be conferred doctor of honoris causa from KU Leuven, Belgium
The Academic Council of KU Leuven has nominated DG Nteranya Sanginga to receive the degree of doctor of honoris causa. The award will be conferred on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of VLIR-UOS, an organization that supports partnerships between higher education institutions in Flanders and the South.
The five partner universities under VLIR-UOS will host a ceremony to confer a total of five honorary doctorate degrees—one from each university—on individuals with exceptional distinction whose work is relevant to the mission of VLIR-UOS.
https://www.kuleuven.be/english/ is Belgium's largest and highest ranked university. As the oldest university in the Low Countries, it has a centuries-long tradition of conferring honorary doctorates in recognition of extraordinary scientific, social, or cultural achievements.
https://www.vliruos.be/en/about_vlir_uos/2supports partnerships between universities and university colleges, in Flanders and in the South, looking for innovative responses to global and local challenges. They achieve this by:
stimulating cooperation projects between professors, researchers, and teachers
giving scholarships to students and professionals in Flanders and the South
supporting and strengthening higher education in the South as well as global development-based internationalization of higher education in Flanders.
In a letter, Prof Luc Sels, Rector of KU Leuven, said that in conferring the title of doctor of honoris causa to Sanginga, the university community "wishes to recognize you for your visionary leadership of IITA, which you have turned into a research-for-development organization that enables African scientists to partner up with colleagues and institutions from all over the world."
Sels further said, "We also want to recognize your contributions to the transformation of sub-Saharan agriculture, and your efforts to improve African farmers' health and quality of life. Together with your team, you have helped reduce poverty in the area, improve food security, and increase youth employment. Taken together, your achievements definitely warrant our university's highest distinction."
The other nominees are Professor Claric Garcia Borges Demetrio, Mr Jose Ramon Saborido Loido, Mrs Leymah Gbowee, and Dr Jean-Jacques Muyembe Tamfun.
The award will be conferred on 15 May at a ceremony to be hosted by VLIR-UOS at KU Leuven in Brussels, Belgium.

Q: How many ways can a tennis player be scheduled to play $4$ matches in $8$ days, with at most one match per day? Should I use combinations or permutations?

How many ways can a tennis player be scheduled to play $4$ matches in $8$ days, with at most one match per day?

Currently, I work mostly in combinatorics to catch up on. My guess is that we should use $V_{8}^{4}=8.7.6.5=1,680$. The correct answer according to my book is $70$ that is equal to $C_8^4=\dfrac{V_{8}^{4}}{P_4}=\dfrac{1680}{4.3.2}=70$. In my opinion the order of games matters.

A: The interpretation of $8\cdot7\cdot6\cdot5$ is that we choose one day from among $8$, then we choose one day from among the remaining $7$, etc. So when asking if order matters, you must ask whether the order in which we choose the days matters, not the order of the games.

A: The question asks for the number of ways it is possible to select the days he plays a tennis match.  There are only
$$\binom{8}{4} = \frac{8!}{4!4!} = 70$$
ways to select four of the eight days for him to play a tennis match.
It does not say anything about his opponents.  In particular, it does not specify that he is playing against different opponents.  Your answer
$$P(8, 4) = \frac{8!}{(8 - 4)!} = 8 \cdot 7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5 = 1680$$
counts the number of ways the tennis player could play four matches against different opponents in eight days if he does not play more than one match per day. Notice that if he played against his practice partner each time, only the days on which he plays a match would matter.

Norway is concerned about developments in Tanzania

Norway is concerned about human rights in Tanzania
Norway is concerned about the human rights situation in Tanzania, which over the past 50 years has received more Norwegian assistance than any other country.
"We are concerned about the development of the human rights situation in Tanzania, including for the freedom of the press," State Secretary Marianne Hagen (H) tells Bistandsaktuelt.
Partner country since the sixties
Tanzania became a main Norwegian partner country in the 1960s and has since received close to NOK 19 billion in aid from Norway, according to an overview from Norad.
In 2018, the assistance amounted to almost NOK 400 million, and more than 40 per cent of this went through the country's authorities.
Last week, one of the country's leading journalists, Erick Kabendera, was arrested, charged with organized crime, money laundering and tax evasion. He works for the British Guardian and Economist, among others.
"On Thursday, another critical research journalist was arrested, and the Norwegian Foreign Ministry is following this development with concern," Hagen informs.
"Human rights are on the agenda in the regular political consultations between Norway and Tanzania, taken up in political meetings and followed up by the embassy in Dar es Salaam," she continues.
"We will also scale up support for independent human rights organizations. This is important for promoting democracy and human rights," Hagen concludes.

Here is another misinformed government official portraying worsening human rights. What exactly is concerning Norway? The journalists? If so then, the Norwegian is getting it wrong possibly, it is just a learned behaviour following repeated complaints from very same people who enjoyed previous regimes through corruption. Is Norway aware that Journalists in this country were part of corrupt regime? Is Marianne aware that journalists received a lot of kickbacks from culprits for white washing them through media?
Soon after our currentPresident initiated a crusade against corruption, the Journalists were immediately up arms against the president. Most of them were concerned with their survival. Why should they collapse? They used to enjoy dubious adverts from the government then, it was house media mushrooming!
We Tanzanians know what is going on. We don't need to be told. Can freedom of speech and human right guarantee a journalist to extend personal insult to the president of a country where he/she is a citizen claiming that is freedom of speech? Ms Marianne need to know that Majority of weak Tanzanians are more satisfied than during previous regime which seems to have satisfied her in relation to freedom of speech and human rights. Is this not a contradiction? Why should such good norms; human right and freedom of speech satisfy a Norwegian and not majority of Tanzanians? Now, the majority of Tanzanians are satisfied but Marianne, a Norwegian not satisfied.
Let us be correct. Tanzania is not Dar es Salaam where majority of corrupt noise makers are situated. Majority are in villages where people like Marianne never hear about them.

What Lucas Bartazari tries t defend is totally not true. Here in the country we have tgese people who are being paid to defend these dictators who are kidnapping and killing political critics and almost every one here knows it.
I believe a most corrupt person is the one who needs no critics. He carries millions of money in bags that are being carried by his aides and gives them to people as a token. Is this not a corruption?


I have to say I was 100 percent impressed. Each time a family member or myself have attended any former martial arts training we have had bad experiences. They throw you in with the masses and you are left to train yourself while trying to learn complex moves. Tonight was my first night at Mr. Steele's Martial Arts Academy. I have to admit I was impressed before ever hitting the mat. I showed up a little early to watch a youth Brazilian Jujitsu class. I was amazed at how Master Steele and another instructor were very hands on with each individual student allowing the students to grasp the techniques with ease. Then came my class. I was very nervous having never practiced Muay Thai in my life. After being given specific instructions that were clear and direct and under the watchful eye of Mr. Steele, I too seemed to catch on to the basic movements very quickly. I look forward to much learning and practice and recommend that you at least visit the academy before any other martial arts school in the surrounding area.
RS martial arts is an amazing school. It has a great family environment and you always feel at home and a part of something while your there. Rico and Ivey are very knowledgable Muay Thai coaches as well as those who volunteer and fight for the school. Markus Barrett is one of the best jiu jitsu professors I have ever worked with. Kids are challenged and always happy to be there. My physical fitness has improved greatly and I would consider Rico and everyone at the school good friends. I go to class every evening I get a chance.
My son started this January, his self confidence has increased 10 fold. The instructors are excellent with all the kids!! They encourage the kids to excell academically, to be respectful, and how to defend themselves, in a positive, safe environment! When you walk through the door you feel like you're home with family! I would definitely recommend joining our family!!!!
There's so much greatness going on at this gym it's crazy! The environment is UH-MAZING :) Everyone, from instructors to students are encouraging, friendly and helpful. It's not a place where people are big headed because they can or want to fight. They're very down to earth, family oriented people. You don't have to have any experience whatsoever. You just have to be determined. It's a great confidence builder. The instructors know what they're doing. Motivation, determination, compassion and dedication is constantly displayed. Phenomenal. I'm grateful to know and grow into this family.
My 9 year old son started coming about a year and a half ago. When he first started he was very shy and not out going at all, but he wanted to try a martial art. Coach Rico tested him out and he started training. Since then my boy has become more self confident and out going. We have truely found another family! Coach Rico and Coach Ivey have spent so much time with my son, working in class and one on one that he looks up to them as heros. Coach Marcus, the BJJ instructor is the most patient person I have ever met. He is willing to do whatever it take to ensure these kids learn. Not only the martial art, but life lessons and verbal jujitsu, talking down the situation as the very first course of action. The entire staff has become such a huge part of our lives, and are lucky enough to be a part of this family.
I have never found a gym with such a family sense. From the time I started till now I never felt like an outsider. I really like the way Rico makes an effort to talk to everyone he can before classes. The kids classes are GREAT! My kids enjoy going and the confidence they have gained in such a short time is amazing. I would encourage everyone to take classes at Rico Steele's MMA school.
This place is absolutely amazing!!! I'm always greeted with nothing but friendly faces and warm hearts. Owner goes above and beyond to ensure everyone is reaching their true potential. I would defiantly recommend this place to all of my family friends and even strangers. KEEP UP THE AWESOME JOB!!!!
The instructors here are amazing and it's a great family environment. My family attends the adult and kid classes. The kids look foward to class. They learn the techniques along with having fun. The adult classes are great workouts and the instructors definitely know what they are talking about.
I can't thank RS MMA instructors and coaches enough for there help with my son age 13. Since he enjoyed the team a few months ago his health and self esteem has gone from 0 to 100 not only has he lost a lot of weight but is now able to stand up to the bulling his endord for many years. With coach Rico and coach Ana by his side he has become a happier and healthier young boy and as his mother I couldn't be prouder. Thank you RS MMA.
My son started taking lessons a few months ago with the basic skills class. Not only has his attention span improved, but his overall behavior has improved along with his self esteem . Coach Anna does an amazing job with the kids. Every class is high energy and they actually learn! Love love love the awesome family environment and the amazing staff.
Love and recomend this school!! The instructors are amazing. Personally, I dropped off arpund 15 pounds only with the kickboxing class, in 5 months, imagine what you can do with a diet!! The best part is, that I was able to bring my little girl and watch her while working out, that's a big big plus.
While I was deployed, my wife started taking my son to rico steeles and he absolutely loves it! I am so thankful to rico and his staff, they have a great business. My son Is learning so much, his confidence is up, he is learning self defense, and most importantly - he is having fun. I would definitely recommend rico's, they have an excellent staff, and they really care about the kids.
I can not attest to the actual training services provided by Rico Steele as I was unable to attend classes. This review is purely based on the customer service aspect. I give 5 of 5 stars. I did have some issues with the cancellation of my membership and there were some issues getting in contact with Rico, but he went out of his was way to make things right and that's very respectable. I would recommend his services to others.
I have trained Muay Thai for three years or so and I was blown away by the knowledge, skill, and competence of Coach Rico. His academy was very professional, and more importantly, comfortable to be in. Anyone interested in pursuing martial arts should check out his academy. The Bang Muay Thai program is really fun as well!
My daughter has been attending for about three and half years after getting free month for a Christmas gift from her Aunt. From the very first class, she has loved it. Coach Rico, Coach Ivey, Coach Markus and everybody who helps with the classes and works there have all been wonderful in helping and teaching my daughter. They not only teach her skills in BJJ and Muay Thai but also the mental and verbal skills to help avoid situations where her fighting skills might be needed. If you're looking for a great place for your kid, and even yourself, to learn a martial art and the life skills that learning a martial art instills, Rico Steele's Martial Arts is the place.
Our son has been taking Muay Thai classes at Ricos for almost two years now and it is one of the best things we could have done for him. Seeing the changes in him over the last two years have been amazing! He has more self confidence than ever and the training has also made him an all around better athlete. He is in awesome shape and has even changed his diet without me pushing him. At Ricos he is not just being taught to be physically tough but mentally tough as well. Our son is learning the importance of a healthy attitude and a healthy lifestyle. I am so grateful for this. It is obvious that the coaches really care about the students and my son really looks up to them. The people at Ricos have become like a second family to us and we love being there. Thank you to all the coaches. You all are awesome!!


I've been experimenting and learning Unity over the last couple of days. One thing that I wanted to be able to do is use an Xbox 360 controller with my mac. For the life of me I couldn't get the "A" button to work. Well the reason is I'm using the TATTIE BOGLE DRIVER for os x and the button reference that I was using from online videos was not correct if you are using this driver. So I went to the Unity wiki and found the following.
If you follow this tutorial just use the number 16 for the A button rather than 0.

House of Blockchain
Written by Consult HyperionPosted on 7th December 2016 4 Comments
On a cold and foggy December morning I set off for the Mother of Parliaments. As I had contributed to the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) work on shared ledger technologies (SLTs), I had been invited to the House of Lords for a slap-up full English and a discussion on the topic with assembled Lords and Commons. Very exciting for a lad from Swindon.
Once I reached the Palace of Westminster I went straight for the Black Rod's garden gate.
But this turned out to be the exit, not the entrance. I went back round to the entrance and found a queue of blockchainafficionadospatiently awaiting the constable in charge of opening the gate at 8am sharp. I told the assembled throng (from the STFC) that I was there to lobby parliament to have THE BLOCKCHAIN accepted as a religion, like Scientology, and to have all associated tax breaks and other privileges. They think I'm joking, but they are not entirely sure. They are planning to put physicists on theblockchain, so I am a little suspicious of them.
At 8am on the dot the boys in blue let us in. They put my bag and coat and things through an X-ray machine, even though I told them that I had noblockchainsabout my person, and then we were inside the hallowed halls. I began the search for the elusive darkblockchainwith the help of the STFC chaps. No luck.
The breakfast was held in the Attlee Room. This is named after Clement Attlee, who led the post-war Labour government in Britain. The picture on the wall behind me is by "Michael Hestletine", although it wasn't clear to me whether it was by a Michael Hestletine or by the Michael Hestletine. Much like the distinction between the blockchainand a blockchain, it is rather important in my opinion.
I have to say that the slap-up full English was top notch. Two things I particularly liked: they didn't use cheap sausages (skimping on the sausages ruins a full English in my opinion) and they served the baked beans in a separate little pot (is it called a "ramekin"?) which I really appreciated because I don't like the beans mixing with the scrambled eggs and tomato. Anyway, to move on, Stephen Metcalfe MP, chair of the Science and Technology Committee, and Sir Mark Walport, the Government's Chief Scientific Adviser (GCSA), opened the proceedings. Sir Mark had published a report on the technology earlier in the year.
The British Government's Chief scientific adviser, Sir Mark Walport, has published his Government Office for Science report on "Distributed Ledger Technology: beyond blockchain".
From Scientific advice about the blockchain | Consult Hyperion
He said that the goal of the POST reports is to demystify technology for policy makers although I have toreport that in his closing remarks he said that we had not been entirely successful in this enterprise and I fully concur with his opinion.
Sir Mark comes from the medical profession and he used a pharmacological analogy to introduce the topic to the group, saying that new drugs tend to go through a familiar cycle of "miracle cure" to "wouldn't give it to a dog" on to "is good for X, Y and Z under certain conditions". I think he was asking the expert speakers to explain what the X, Y and Z might be and under which conditions. In which case, and I am not casting the first stone here, we failed.
Sir Mark, as you might recall, was kind enough to the use the Consult Hyperion model of SLTs in his report mentioned above, gave a couple of examples that – and I say this in a spirit of enquiry and integrity – I just don't buy. He specifically mentioned the example of constraints on the spending of welfare payments. Now, while I think this is a bad idea, I can think of far easier ways to achieve it (MCC restriction, for example) than tracking everything that welfare recipients spend on a blockchain. I can certainly seethat in the coming world of smart money (i.e., money that is transferred between ~smart ~contracts) it will be possible to constrain, restrict or censor transactions, but who and why are more important questions than how. In any case, who would mine this blockchain? The Department of Work and Pensions and… well, I think I wouldneed to see a more fully-developed architecture to comment.
My old friend Simon Taylor from 11:FS had also been asked along to provide input to the discussion and he tried a different set of metaphors relating to the confirmation of events from multiple sources but it was notclear to me that he was able to help Lord Birt and others to understand the key issues.
After a while, the discussion moved on to the Estonian electronic identity system. I expressed some scepticism as to whether the Estonian electronic identity system was on a blockchain. The conversation continued. Then to my shame I lost it and began babbling "it's not a blockchain" until the chairman, in an appropriate and gentlemanly manner, told me to shut up. At this point, Simon and I got into an excellent twitter debate about what might constitute a distributed ledger and whether you need some particular combination of characteristics in order to claim that a system is a distributed ledger and whether, irrespective of the blocks and chains, the blockchain is a sensible description of certain systems.
I noted that someone nearby was looking at me with a slightly quizzical expression that I took to be some questioning of my ability to comment on the topic. Well, I went all "don't bring your knife to my gunfight" on twitter. First of all, one of the first podcasts I ever recorded (a decade ago) was with Tarvi Martens, one of the architects of the scheme. Tarvi kindly contributed a case study on thescheme to my 2007 book "Digital Identity Management" (available from all good bookstores).
Forum friend Tarvi Martens presented a case study from Estonia on population-scale identity cards. This had been updated from the original case study that Tarvi kindly contributed to both the Digital Identity Forum and Digital Identity Management. The first card was issued back in 2002 and by October 2006 there were a million cards in circulation.
From Still practising | Consult Hyperion
One of the things that I couldn't help but point out is that the Estonian eID card gained initial traction due to some unusual circumstances.
Unusually amongst ID card, the principal use of the Estonian card is an a transit card in Tallin (120,000 people every day use their card for this) and as a travel document.
Hence I couldn't resist asking their Lordships whether the transport secretary's announcement on this very same day of some sort of national travel smart card today was an attempt to introduce an identity card by the back door…
So. The Estonian ID card, which was first issued in 2002, has nothing to do with distributed ledgers or blockchains or any similar technology. End of.
When it came time for my two-pennyworth around the table, I said that it wasn't atall clear to me that it was accurate to describe Bitcoin as a decentralised system since almost all of the hashing power resides with a very small number of unaccountable mining pools based in China but, more importantly that
It seems to me that many of the efforts to move shared ledgers into the marketplace have concentrated on shaping shared ledgers to emulate existing solutions in the hope that SLTs will be faster, higher or stronger. These are all unproven assertions. It is possible that a shared ledger replacement for RTGS might be cheaper, or more resilient or more functional that the currency centralised solution, but who knows?
The transparency of the shared ledger, the aspect that most doesn't work for current solutions in current markets, may well turn out to be the most important characteristic because it allows for ambient accountability and therefore opens up the potential for new kinds of markets that are far less costly and complex to regulate, manage, inspect and audit. This is the "shared ledger as regtech not fintech meme" that I am rather fond of.
Just as the invention of double-entry bookkeeping allowed for the creation of new kinds of enterprise, so it seems to me that the shared ledger will similarly lead to new kinds of enterprise that use the shared ledger application (the SLAPP) as the engine of progress and the focus of innovation. I assume that there are kids in basements experimenting with SLAPPs right now and that this is where the breakthrough use case will come from. As I said last year in a discussion about shared ledgers for land registry, turning the ledger into a platform may be the most important reason for shifting to this implementation.
From Shared ledger applications and the Bouvier-Sams boundary | Consult Hyperion
The ability to execute general purpose code on the consensus computer means that, just as the ability to executer general purpose code on conventional computers did, people will create some amazing things that we can't imagine right now.
This will, in the long run, turn out to be much more important than creating a new kind of database.
When I wrote this I was thinking that the ideas for these new kinds of applications can only come from fresh perspectives, but I have changed my opinion on that having seen some of the work already going on the field. Maybe some of us old hands still have something to offer when it comes to rethinking the ways markets can work. All in all, a very interesting start to the day. Incidentally, the only people around the table who made complete sense, as far as I could tell, were Professor Vili Lehdonvirta from the Oxford Internet Institute (who talked about the need for control and governance) and Calogero Scibatta of Everledger who, of course, actually already has a business that depends on shared ledgers. Here I am with Calogero on the way out, still discussing whether the ontological classification of Bitcoin recapitulates its phylogeny or whether it should be re-classified according to external definitions unrelated to its history and development. In other words, just because it was designed to be decentralised doesn't mean it is decentralised.
Oh, I also told the assembled Lords that most of the stuff I read every day about "the blockchain" is rubbish. It's become a meaningless chromewash term. Here is a real conversation that took place with a blockchain vendor in the presence of a client recently:
Vendor: We are using the blockchain to revolutionise [redacted].
Me: What's in the blocks?
Vendor: We don't need to use blocks westore each transaction in such a way that only the parties to the transaction can see it.
Me: Who forms the consensus?
Vendor: It's a master-slave consensus so the purchaser has a master record and the suppliers have a copy of it.
Me: How are the transactions chained together?
Vendor: They store the transaction but we also store the hash of each transaction.
Me: Why?
Vendor: Because blockchain (I'm paraphrasing).
If Roger Ver is the undisputed Bitcoin Jesus, then I claim that after yesterday's performance my position as the Blockchain Meldrew is now unassailable.

Abbas's Western-backed Palestinian Authority (PA) on Thursday told Israel it would no longer pay for the electricity Israel supplies to Gaza, a move that could lead to a complete power shutdown in the territory, whose 2 million people already endure blackouts for much of the day, reports Reuters.
Israel does not engage directly with Hamas, regarding the Islamist group as a terrorist organization.
Health officials say the Gaza Strip's 13 hospitals and 54 medical centers are running short of funds and fuel for emergency generators.
They say some 620 kidney patients in need of dialysis three times a week and newborns are at particular risk from blackouts, with generators at all the medical facilities using a total of some 2,000 liters of fuel per hour.
"All health services could stop within the coming few days," said Ashraf Al-Qidra, spokesman of the Gaza health ministry, calling on humanitarian organizations to offer more help.
The PA has also slashed the salaries of its 60,000 civil servants in Gaza – but not the West Bank – by 30 percent, offering no explanation other than a lack of foreign aid money.

A portable cardiac mapping system is used to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of acute ischaemic injury outside hospital. Patients presenting chest pain suggestive of myocardial infarction (MI) were mapped by attendant medical personnel operating from a mobile coronary unit. These first MI maps were compared against average normal maps using QRS and ST-T isointegral values. Discriminant function analysis performed on the parameters achieved a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 96%.

US Transport Infrastructure Debacle Continues as Global Road Haulage and Freight Interests Look On
Seemingly Never Ending Lack of Political Will and a Paucity of Funds for Highways
US – American politicians have for generations often been accused of being self-absorbed and ignoring the world at large, but currently the majority seem oblivious to the fact that they are often viewed as ridiculous by overseas observers, obviously by some who concentrate on the gun laws issue, but many operators of global freight and road haulage businesses are staggered by the intransigence and political polarisation which the funding for the nations transport infrastructure via the Highway Trust Fund has engendered.
This week saw the 34th 'patch', a three month stay of execution, granted to keep funds flowing to some degree which simply avoided the entire government system shutting down on Saturday August 1, when payments to staff and subcontractors would have ceased. The senators even managed to argue over whether a three or five month stay of execution was preferable before granting a further $8 billion to keep the beast afloat up to 29 October 2015.
As we reported previously what was achieved was the passing of a bill which would see a longer term solution if passed in the Autumn when a motion by Democrat Californian senator Barbara Boxer, Republican Jim Inhofe from Oklahoma and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell succeeded in scheduling a six year plan which senators passed by 65 to 34 this week (the 3 month patch was passed easily 91 to 4). Unfortunately this has been criticised by many as the funding plans are considered somewhat tenuous by many. Funds for just three years are identified and plans to reinvigorate the expired Export-Import Bank charter, which caused it to cease business on 1 July, is likely to be stoutly resisted.
The complexities of funding US infrastructure lie at the root of the problem, other first world nations ensure the tax return from road fuel makes up a substantial part of their revenue to go toward transport infrastructure but, like their dogged determination to allow guns to all and sundry despite the President's common sense warnings, the American consumer, and his lobby representatives in congress, believe cheap fuel is a right not a privilege.
With an already crowded fall schedule for the politicians, the new attempt to produce a medium term solution to a problem which it is estimated will cause a $13 billion shortfall in funding this year alone, is liable to get hung up, yet again as the lawmakers seek funds from different options, rather than tax the cause of the problem at source.
Meanwhile the Department of Transportation has patted itself on the back this week over the continued funding available via its TIGER grant system. In the past six years the programme has issued a combined $4.1 billion to 342 projects in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. This however reveals that funding here too is much in demand, since 2009 that the Department received more than 6,000 applications requesting more than $124 billion. As the DoT points out that means that for every project selected, 17 projects that communities across the country need go unfunded. And for every dollar requested, it has only actually been able to provide a meagre 3 cents.
The problem continues as the Department wades through this year's grant applications, doubtless searching for both the most deserving and politically expedient. With half a billion in funds made available by Congress this year that means around 95% of the 625 applicants asking for a total of $9.8 billion are going to be disappointed.

Trump Retweets GIF Of Him Hitting Clinton With Golf Ball
Posted 12:17 pm, September 17, 2017, by CNN Wire
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Donald Trump retweeted an edited video Sunday (Sept. 17) morning that showed him swinging a golf club and appearing to hit his former presidential campaign rival Hillary Clinton with a golf ball.
The animated GIF image Trump retweeted spliced together footage of Trump taking a swing on a golf course with footage of Clinton tripping and falling as she boarded a plane in 2011 as secretary of state. The footage is edited to make it appear as though Clinton is hit in the back with a golf ball before her fall.
The tweet revealed a President still reverting to his old social media habits, namely, those likely to earn him quick criticism, less than two months after retired Gen. John Kelly took over as White House chief of staff.
While Kelly has not sought to stop Trump from tweeting, he has encouraged the President to allow him to vet the tweets before posting them — a request Trump has sometimes acquiesced to.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday about the President's tweet and whether Kelly was aware of it.
A spokesperson for Hillary Clinton said the former secretary of state had no comment on the tweet.
The tweet, which came as Trump prepares to head to New York for a critical round of powerhouse diplomacy with world leaders at the United Nations, followed a week during which Clinton reemerged in the spotlight as she promoted her new book, "What Happened," about the 2016 campaign, reviving her fiercest criticisms of Trump and his supporters and reigniting the debate about her stunning, unanticipated loss.
Trump slammed Clinton over her new book earlier this week too, tweeting that she "blames everybody (and every thing) but herself for her election loss."
Trump's Sunday morning Twitter post was one of more than a half-dozen supporters' tweets the President retweeted Sunday before 8:30 a.m.
Those other tweets included an image predicting Trump would win every state for reelection in 2020, another showing Trump hauling US companies that have outsourced manufacturing abroad and a tweet claiming that "only true Americans can see that president Trump is making America great."
South Korea call
Trump also took to Twitter Sunday morning to tweet about his call late Saturday night with South Korean President Moon Jae-in to discuss the ongoing tensions with North Korea over its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
"I spoke with President Moon of South Korea last night. Asked him how Rocket Man is doing," Trump tweeted, appearing to offer a new moniker for North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. "Long gas lines forming in North Korea. Too bad!"
Both leaders' offices said Trump and Moon pledged during their call to work with the international community to ramp up pressure on the North Korean regime, which has so far been undeterred in advancing its nuclear and ballistic missile program despite a tightening of international sanctions.
Trump's retweeting spree also came on the heels of a week during which he drew criticism from pockets of his political base as he signaled he was close to a deal with Democrats to protect undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children, known as "Dreamers," from deportation in exchange for border security measures but not funding for the border wall at the center of his campaign.
Trump has promised to rescind protections for those undocumented immigrants and said during the campaign they would have to be deported. Grassroots conservative supporters of the President also fumed that Trump would grant legal status to those undocumented immigrants without securing funding for the border wall, which he continues to promise will be built despite a lack of support in Congress.

Dine United, a popular week-long event featuring eight of the area's top restaurants, resumes here Monday, April 1.
Coordinated by the United Way of Stephens County, featured restaurants encourage their patrons to enjoy a quality dining experience and help support the United Way fund-raising campaign that helps 12 partner agencies.
Giuseppe's Italian Dining (203 West Main in Marlow; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.) makes its first appearance Thursday, April 4, joining Wishbone Scratch Kitchen (1800 N. Country Club Road).
R&S Drug No. 1 (821 West Main), Giuseppe's Italian Dining (203 West Main in Marlow) and Rib Crib (2303 N. Highway 81) are repeat participants Friday, April 5 along with Wishbone Scratch Kitchen (1800 N. Country Club Road).
No special hours are involved. Patrons will order off regular menus.
Dine United is part of the United Way's 2018-19 fund-raising campaign headed by Co-chairmen Jeff and Stephanie Gregston.
What started in 1954 as the Community Chest became the United Way of Stephens County in 1993 and has served agencies continuously during that 65-year span.
Current agencies are CASA of Southwest Oklahoma, Christians Concerned, Douglass East Side Senior Citizens, Duncan Area Literacy Council, Duncan Community Residence, Duncan Senior Citizens Center, Gabriel's House, Girl Scouts of Western Oklahoma, Heartline 2-1-1, Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, Marlow Samaritans and Safe Center, formerly Women's Haven.
Two new agencies – Marie Detty Youth and Family Services Center and Velma Senior Citizens --join the partnership in April.
In addition to its annual campaign and Dine United, the United Way of Stephens County also sponsors and coordinates Readers & Leaders, a reading program in Duncan schools, and A Day of Caring that provides volunteers who help not-for-profit Stephens County agencies with special one-day projects in May.
Contributions to this year's $325,000 campaign are still needed and may be sent to the United Way, P.O. Box 1632, Duncan, 73534; or taken to the United Way office at 12 South 8th Street, Suite 9 in downtown Duncan.

Q: "Cut norm" of conditional expectation has supremum on products of sets in sub-$\sigma$-algebra, or not? I am reading Lovasz's book "Large networks and graph limits", and encountered the exercise that the stepping operator for graphons is contractive under the cut norm:
$$||W_P||_\square\leq||W||_\square.$$
Originally, the stepping operator from some partition $P:[0,1]=X_1\cup\cdots\cup X_k$ acting on some graphon $W:[0,1]^2\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, which is bounded, measurable and symmetric, is defined as below:
$$W_P(x,y)=\frac{1}{\lambda(X_i)\lambda(X_j)}\int_{X_i\times X_j}W(x,y)dxdy,\forall (x,y)\in X_i\times X_j,$$
where $\lambda$ is the Lebesgue measure. And the cut norm of a graphon is defined as
$$||W||_\square=\mathop{\sup}\limits_{S,T\subset [0,1]}|\int_{S\times T}W(x,y)dxdy|,$$
where $S,T$ are both measurable. I have figured out how to do this, starting by first prove that the supremum in the cut norm of $W_P$ is the same as the supremum on all $S,T$ generated by the partition. This is done by considering each small pieces of maximum $S,T$(merely measurable) in each partition parts $X_i$, moving them using measure-preserving maps to form intervals(this can be done since when we work with $W_P$, it's constant on every small blocks), and discussing the boundaries.
Now I am thinking that, since the stepping operation can be viewed as taking conditional expectation given the $\sigma$-algebra generated by $\mathcal{P}$:
$$W_P=\mathbb{E}[W\mid\mathcal{P}\otimes\mathcal{P}],$$
here I am using $\mathcal{P}$ for the $\sigma$-algebra generated by $P$. Does this general statement below also hold?

Fix some probability triple $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$, and a bounded, real-valued (symmetric)random variable $X$ on the product probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})\otimes(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$. Let $\mathcal{G}$ be some sub-$\sigma$-algebra. Do we have the following:
$$\mathop{\sup}\limits_{S,T\in\mathcal{F}}|\mathbb{E}[\mathbb{E}(X\mid\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G})1_{S\times T}]|=\mathop{\sup}\limits_{S',T'\in\mathcal{G}}|\mathbb{E}[\mathbb{E}(X\mid\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G})1_{S'\times T'}]|?$$

I tried to mimick the proof for graphons, which means $\mathcal{G}$ is generated by finite number of sets. So at first I have
$$\mathbb{E}[\mathbb{E}(X\mid\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G})1_{S\times T}]=\mathbb{E}[X\mathbb{E}(1_{S\times T}\mid\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G})],$$
and $\mathbb{E}(1_{S\times T}\mid\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G})=\mathbb{E}(1_S\mid\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G})\otimes\mathbb{E}(1_{T}\mid\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G})$, since they equal on cylinder sets in $\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G}$. THen I got stuck, since I don't know the structure of \mathbb{E}(1_S\mid\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{G}), unlike in finite sub-$\sigma$-algebra case where I can discuss one-by-one in blocks.
Any help is desired.


Sounds awesome. I have two ideas I would pitch for the Riddler.
Idea One: Jim Carrey reprises his role, but instead of the over-the-top Ace Ventura Jim Carrey, it is the Number 23 version (the one who doesn't overact). That would make for a great reveal.
Idea Two: (and you have made this one easy with your plot) Bruce Wayne is the Riddler... a fragmented personality created by Bruce's mind to deal with the fact that Batman is no longer a beloved hero.
Either one of these would be a total mindscrew for the audience.
That is total gold. You put a lot of thought into this. My wife and I were thinking that, when and if the next sequel is announced, they would introduce Catwoman as an anti-hero. But I like your ideas (sans Catwoman) better.

If you like taking your parent or family member out of their nursing home on a regular basis, there's few better places to go than a seafood restaurant. Here's why you should make a delicious fish meal part of your weekly outing.
One of the best and easiest ways for seniors to improve their health is to eat a healthy diet. Fish and seafood is an essential part of a nutritious diet for all ages, but it has numerous benefits for seniors. The omega-3 fatty acids in seafood keep seniors' hearts healthy, reducing age-related problems like heart disease and stroke. Omega-3 also lessens the risk of vision loss, keeps ageing bones and joints healthy, and has even been shown to possibly reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
While most nursing homes design their menus with nutrition in mind, many abstain from including too much fish as it can be difficult and time consuming to cook well. Others fail to make their fish dishes appetising, making choosier eaters reluctant to eat any seafood at all. Taking your ageing family member out to a delicious seafood restaurant on a regular basis can help keep their omega-3 levels high and their bodies healthy.
One of the main reasons people in nursing homes like to go on regular outings is to bring some excitement back into their lives. Of course, many typical exciting activities can be stressful with an ageing family member in tow, especially if their health makes it difficult for them to get around. Many fun places like zoos, cinemas and even beaches aren't as accessible as they should be for people with mobility issues, so families often have to choose between stressful excursions or repetitive visits to shops and parks.
Instead of organising regular outings that are so difficult you can't enjoy them, opt for a type of excitement that's easy for people of all ages to enjoy: culinary stimulation. Nursing home residents tend to eat the same food every week, so something as simple as a trip to a seafood restaurant can be just as exciting as a journey outdoors. Seafood restaurants have tons of delicious dishes with plenty of variety. Seniors can try something new every time they visit, and the rich flavour of fish is great for those who are losing their sense of taste.
The other big reason nursing home outings are so important for seniors is that they're an opportunity for the whole family to get together and communicate. There are few better atmospheres for conversation than a restaurant. Even if nothing worth talking about has happened during the week, delicious seafood can prompt conversation on everything from favourite foods to childhood fishing memories. Best of all, when you're eating a great meal, it's easy to keep your eyes off gadgets like phones and tablets. This makes seafood restaurants great for outings with kids who'd usually rather text their friends than connect with their grandparents.

Predicting how each Big 12 team will do during Week 8
Kevin Borba
October 22, 2021, 2:44 PM ·4 min read
While there are currently two clear-cut teams at the top of the Big 12 conference, there is a group of teams bunched in the middle that have a chance to cause havoc if they beat those teams.
The state of Oklahoma is riding high at the moment. Oklahoma is sitting atop the Big 12 and is currently ranked No. 3 in the nation, while Oklahoma State, who is also undefeated, is No. 2 in the Big 12 and ranked No. 8 in the nation.
Every other team in the middle group of the Big 12 standings right now, such as Baylor, Iowa State, Texas, and Texas Tech are all hoping for the Oklahoma schools to be knocked off in order to give themselves a chance for the conference title.
While Kansas likely won't knock off the Sooners this week, Oklahoma State has a very interesting game against Iowa State that could mark the beginning of the aforementioned chaos.
After last week's predictions I am 24-13 on the season. Here are my predictions for how Week 8 will shape up, excluding Texas as they are on a much needed bye week.
TCU vs. West Virginia
Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports
Both these teams have been disappointing this season, as many people, myself included, thought that TCU would be contending for a top spot in the Big 12. West Virginia was also viewed as a dark horse to compete in the Big 12 title this year, but both schools have sputtered up to this point.
TCU's defense has not nearly been as good as ones they have had in the past, as they are giving up 445 yards a game and have been absolutely decimated by other team's running backs. West Virginia on the other hand has had poorly timed turnovers, and has been on the wrong end of three games decided by six or less points. I think TCU has the better team, and just need to step it up on defense. They hopefully will have star running back Zach Evans back, who did not suit up against Oklahoma in the blowout loss.
Prediction: TCU 34, West Virginia 18
Kansas vs. #3 Oklahoma
BRYAN TERRY/THE OKLAHOMAN / USA TODAY NETWORK
Poor Kansas…they will be on the wrong end of an Oklahoma team that recently just figured out what works best for them when they benched Spencer Rattler.
The Sooners' offense is dynamic with Caleb Williams at quarterback as he is a true dual-threat that can outrun anyone, or launch a 60-yard bomb down field if needed. Oklahoma is as hot as they come, as they had a huge come from behind victory over Texas, thrashed TCU, and now play the worst team in the Big 12. Kansas' offense just not have the firepower to keep this close in the first half, let alone a whole game. This will be an easy win for Oklahoma, and it will likely be so big Spencer Rattler will get some playing time.
Prediction: Oklahoma 55, Kansas 13
Texas Tech vs. Kansas State
This game may be the closest game of the week, as the 5-2 Texas Tech Red Raiders are looking to hang around in the Big 12, whereas Kansas State is looking to get back above .500.
Kansas State is on a three-game losing streak, playing both of the Oklahoma schools, and dropping a game to Iowa State last week. They just have not been able to recreate that success they were having in the first three games of the season. The offense seems to be somewhat limited, but Texas Tech has also not been the most dynamic. Although Texas Tech has the better record, they have already played the two worst teams in the league. I expect their season to take a turn for the worst very soon, as after this game they play the top four schools in the Big 12. This game essentially could be their final chance to guarantee a bowl appearance, so the stakes are high.
Prediction: Texas Tech 30, Kansas State 28
Iowa State vs. #8 Oklahoma State
Scott Sewell-USA TODAY Sports
If you told me at the beginning of the season this matchup would feature a top-10 team, I would have assumed it was Iowa State and not Oklahoma State.
Oklahoma State has been riding Jaylen Warren as much as possible in their last four games, as 27 was the least amount of carries he received. They essentially have to, as Spencer Sanders and their passing game is as ineffective as they come. This will be a tough matchup for Warren, as Iowa State is home to one of the best run defenses in the nation. The Cyclones seem to be still figuring it out in a way, but ever since their loss to Baylor, they have been playing better. I think they pull off the upset over Oklahoma State, who has not shown the ability to beat anyone through the air.
Prediction: Iowa State 28, Oklahoma State 21

"Um...cherry?" Jeff guessed. "Nope. Peach. Now my turn." I closed my eyes & stuck out my tongue. Jeff put one in my mouth & I sucked. "Black licorice." I said. "Still my turn." Then I felt something different,something solid yet spongy..."I don't think I wanna play anymore." I told Jeff,but he insisted and I guessed:"Hot dog." He shot back, "Nachos!" We were playing comfort food bingo. Jeff was great because he'd taken the 12 year path to undergrad graduation. He wasn't stupid, obviously, but he really strived to live in the moment. And if that meant being an undergrad for 12 years of his obviously-short-life, then so be it. "Donuts!" "I like them sweet, sticky and full of jelly, just like my---" "Johnny, get back over here," said the frazzled young father of quintuplets waiting in line at the bakery. He grabbed The airy sticky bun and got his sticky fingers all over the counter. The quintuplets in the stroller took up half the waiting area and were laughing out loud. They were next in to have their lifelines adjusted. Their mother was concerned whether this particular Grace could handle quintuplets. The Grace's look reminded her that they'd had this conversation years ago, back at the nunnery, when the idea of quintuplets had been purely abstract. How times had changed! By the time this particular Grace's "holy" water broke, their mother had proclaimed herself the Mary of her age, bearing not one but five little messiahs—a proper team of saviors for a flock accustomed to the infinite consumption of the digital era. They formed a conglomerate called Trinity Inc. and sold bluetooth-enabled iCrosses. Eventually, everone had their own personal Jesus.

It is possible to reach the village of Pian di Molino by car; if coming from the E33 motorway, Parma-La Spezia exit at Aulla, from here take the SS63 road following the signs for Equi Terme, past the village of Gragnola continue along the main road, after passing the junction for Cortila turn right at the first group of houses and you will find the Borgo in front of it.
The village of Pian di Molino can also be reached by train, although it is not recommended, because it is binding for travel during the day, this opportunity is more than concrete. It is possible in fact to take the Swing, the regional train that serves the area from Aulla Lunigiana to Lucca and Pisa. The landscape is very suggestive and the trains have been recently renovated. The reference station is Gragnola, from here it will be possible to reach the Borgo with a walk of about 20 min.

"Ein irisches Kleinod Seit den frühen Neunzigerjahren musizieren Fil Campbell und Tom McFarland bereits zusammen. Da ist es kein Wunder, dass sich das irische Duo blind versteht, was seinem Konzert im gut besuchten Kulturforum am Dienstag eine besondere Atmosphäre verleiht. Kiel. Von Routine ist dabei zum Glück nichts zu spüren. Vielmehr zeichnet sich das Zusammenspiel der Sängerin, die sich selbst auf der akustischen Gitarre begleitet, und ihres zuweilen ebenfalls singenden Percussion-Partners, durch eine wache Vertrautheit aus. Auf dem Programm stehen Traditionals und eigene Songs, stimmig gemischt und auch in den hinsichtlich der Arrangements angenehm homogen gehalten. Wer in Sachen irische Songwriterkunst vor allem an die den Soundtrack zum Guinness denkt, ist hier falsch. Insbesondere in der ersten Konzerthälfte musiziert das Duo eher still. Während Fil Campbells mit gereifter Stimme Geschichten aus dem Land des grünen Klees heraufbeschwört, grundiert Tom Mc Farland diese elegant und kunstvoll auf den Bongos oder an der Rahmentrommel. Mitunter gestaltet auch er ein Stück mit milder Stimme, bei den Refrains ist er regelmäßig am Mikrofon zu erleben. Auch das Publikum dürfte hierbei mit einstimmen, wie das Duo immer wieder betont. Doch das genießt lieber ein Glas Rotwein im Halbdunkel, summt allenfalls leise mit und applaudiert dafür umso herzlicher. Am Abend zuvor, berichten Fil Campbell und Tom McFarland, hätten ihre Gäste noch lautstark mitgesungen. Das war auf Hallig Hooge, wo sich im Konzert statt Wein- vor allem Schnapsgläser leerten. Auf der Hallig versteht man offensichtlich zu feiern – wenn es dort denn einmal etwas zu feiern gibt. Zwischen den Songs zeigt sich Fil Campbell als sympathische Moderatorin, die die Geschichte zum Lied preisgibt. Der Titelsong des aktuellen Album Back There beispielsweise handelt von der Sehnsucht nach unbeschwerten Kindheitstagen. Campbell und McFarland singen ihn mit Inbrunst, so dass die Rückverbindung zu diesen Zeiten und ihrer Vitalität unmittelbar spürbar wird. Generell nimmt der Abend in der zweiten Konzerthälfte an Fahrt auf. Hier steigert sich nicht nur das Tempo der Musik, hier präsentiert auch Tom McFarland ein klangfarblich an indische Tabla-Künste erinnerndes Solo auf der Bodhrán. Und im Finale gibt Fil Campbell dann noch überraschend in gebrochenem Deutsch ihre Version von Hannes Waders Wandervogel-Hymne Heute hier, morgen dort zum Besten. Dass diese naturgemäß eher ulkig als vollendet wirkt, ändert nichts daran, dass man an diesem Abend ein echtes musikalisches Kleinod erleben durfte. " - Oliver Stenzel

"FIL CAMPBELL & TOM MCFARLAND Back There Glenshee Music GSR005 Fil Campbell's seventh album gives equal billing to her percussionist husband, Tom McFarland, who tours with her and also operates Ballyneddan Studio, where these tracks were recorded. Eleven tracks provide a cross-sectional view of the current live set of this popular couple. There's a bright take on David Francey's Come Rain Or Come Shine and a fab version of the rarely heard Steve Ashley song, Best Wishes. A host of supporting musicians fill out the sound nicely, including James Blennerhassett on exquisite bass, and notably Danny McGreevy on uilleann pipes. A Wish For Emily, a Fil co-write with Enda Patrick Cullen, is an emigrant song clearly written from the heart, and is inspiring at first listen – and now on repeat on my player. The version of the Kieran Goss and Kimmie Rhodes song, Make The Morning Shine, certainly does it justice also. The highlight for me, though, is another co-write (Campbell with Tom McFarland on this occasion), The White Beach, which closes the album – a nostalgic nod at a childhood well served, now jeopardised by a landlord bent on refusing access to a beach. This could bring a tear to a potato's eye. All things considered, this is a well packaged, nicely produced album of contemporary Irish music, and proves that Fil Campbell is still delivering competent and captivating songs.

"...an absolutely magic evening on Thursday last at the Black Swan. The intimate and relaxed atmosphere was just grand. Tom's superbly judged and sensitively understated percussion and vocal harmonies proved a perfect foil to Fil's glorious singing, which on this occasion was placed at the service of a veritable treasure-trove of contemporary songs including some real discoveries." - David Kidman
"Fil Campbell - A Place Of My Own (Glenshee) Fermanagh-born singer Campbell has, over the years, released some very enchanting records, notably the two magical volumes of Songbirds which arose out of the TV series where she profiled Irish women singers from the first half of the 20th century and explored their repertoire. The role of women has always been a central focus of her presentation of song, and this album expands that preoccupation further with a delightful new collection of songs from a woman's point of view - songs of work, love, hardship, emigration and marriage. As she explains: "We're all trying to find a place of our own in life; and many songs that women sang in Ireland were just about that, finding their place". This latest collection also follows on directly from the Songbirds records in presenting songs that she had learned as a child (I Know My Love, My Singing Bird and The Gartan Mother's Lullaby) mixed in with songs from the repertoires of the women she profiled in the series, notably Margaret Barry (It's Better To Be Single) and Delia Murphy, whose catalogue furnishes the disc's closing pair of songs (Send Back My Barney To Me and the unpretentious fun of Whistle Daughter Whistle). Once again, Campbell's gathered around her some of the best of Ireland's folk and traditional musicians; in fact, it's an almost identical cast-list to that utilised on the Songbirds recordings – regular collaborators Tom McFarland (percussion), Brendan Emmett (guitar, mandolin), Brendan Monaghan (pipes, whistles), Seamus Brett (accordion, keyboards) and John Fitzpatrick (fiddle, viola), with, this time round, Nicky Scott on bass. Their contributions, though sensitive and tasteful, are nevertheless full of life-affirming energy, and in that respect too they dovetail well with Campbell's rich, deeply felt and idiomatic vocal delivery. As always, there's never any doubt that she really gets to the heart of a song, whether it be conveying the pain of emigration (Come Back To Me Mavourneen, a song recorded by Connie Foley in America in the 1930s), invoking a harsh allegory through beautiful melody (My Singing Bird), or pointedly commenting on the woman's lot (Haste To The Wedding), or even just having fun… Although the disc has its share of lighter material, there's plenty of contrast between adjacently-placed songs, for example where a matchless rendition of The Gartan Mother's Lullaby is followed by the cheeky Belfast millworkers' ditty The Doffing Mistress. Alongside the fine performances of above-mentioned song classics, the set also contains some hitherto-not-so-well-known songs that are no less worth resurrecting, like Erin Grá Mo Chroi; but tucked away just over halfway through the disc is a significant, and perceptive, new song written by Vince Keehan from Mayo; Working The Streets simply yet poignantly captures the fear of a young woman whose life hasn't turned out the way she'd hoped, and proves a definite disc highlight. All in all, well worth seeking out. www.filcampbell.com David Kidman 2012" - David Kidman

"Fil Campbell - Songbirds (CD and companion DVD) (Glenshee Records) The Fermanagh-born singer/songwriter has changed tack for her latest project (and fourth album release), on which she looks back at the music of her childhood and pays tribute to the songs of the past and the women singers who performed them. Its genesis lies in Fil's desire to make a CD of folk songs that she had grown up with and that had first been recorded in the 1930s by Delia Murphy, but that basic idea has since evolved further to also embrace the lives of four other women who had also recorded this material (Ruby Murray, Bridie Gallagher, Mary O'Hara and Margaret Barry), eventually blossoming into a six-part series for Irish Television – entitled Songbirds: The First Ladies Of Irish Song – which was first shown in autumn 2005. The DVD (which is available separately from the CD) presents the actual TV programmes in their entirety. What comes across more than anything else is that the project has been a real labour of love for Fil: her unreserved affection for her subjects and their songs, and her ability to get to the heart of the singers' stories and communicate it lovingly to her audience. The series is also strongly unified both in style and format and in terms of design and presentation, and looks and sounds extremely attractive, with archive film extracts and interviews sensibly balanced and integrated. Each programme seems just about the right length, and no individual element outstays its welcome - and yet I also felt I learned a significant amount about the ladies and their personalities from these brief portraits. The basic biographical information is fleshed out by reminiscences from an array of respected and experienced musicians, writers and broadcasters (these including Mick Moloney, Colum and Tommy Sands, Phil Coulter, Reg Hall, Steve Cooney and Ron Kavana), all of whom display an evident warmth, regard and admiration for the ladies (and a keen appreciation of their talents) and a relevant depth of informed knowledge with often some very interesting stories to tell. Finally, a number of excerpts from the recording-studio sessions (where Fil and a select few master musician friends performed key songs associated with the singers discussed) set the actual biographical studies into relief and give them an interpretive context. The first programme introduces the series' concept and rationale, while presenting a thoughtful overview: its tempting and plausible central thesis is that women singers weren't recognised as important in the performance of Irish repertoire (and moreover, all Irish singers were almost ashamed of their own heritage) until the emergence and subsequent popularity of these five singers; each in her own way has been deemed to contribute significantly to the ongoing folk revival while defining a specifically Irish repertoire that nevertheless encompassed both indigenous songs from the true tradition and songs from the music-hall or even Tin Pan Alley that idealised "the motherland" for the benefit of emigrants exiled in other countries (especially the USA). Each of the remaining five programmes in turn is then seen to concentrate exclusively on the life and work of one of the "first ladies of Irish song". Some or most of the five singers may at times have had songs which were common to their individual repertoires, but it's important to note that they performed in often diametrically opposed styles. While noting that all five ladies were in their own way popularisers of Irish song (and their semi-traditional way of singing even non-traditional material ensured that this got fed back into the tradition almost by default), the series also points up the contrasts between them, from the raw, but completely natural street-singer Maggie to the soaring, classically sweet bel-canto soprano and elegant harpistry of Mary; the wild, unbridled charm of Delia to the lift-the-stage persona and come-all-ye inclusiveness of Bridie and the all-pervading purity of tone and Hollywood-style artistry of Ruby. Now, one may initially be disappointed that the series (and therefore the DVD too) contains no complete performances of individual songs, either by the original artists or by Fil herself - although it's perfectly understandable in view of the programmes' remit and the necessary time constraints of the format. The companion Songbirds CD, being available separately, should thus by rights be the answer to one's prayers, and to a large extent it is. The first thing to note is that it is indeed both entirely complementary to, and a logical development from, the DVD. To be sure, even if you've not viewed the DVD it stands alone as a totally lovely collection of songs, affectionately performed by Fil in her characteristically warm, sensitive yet commanding vocal style (someone once dubbed Fil "a third McGarrigle", and not without some justification). The songs all suit her down to the ground, and she luxuriates mildly in the expression of these old-fashioned sentiments (the DVD extracts show just how much she revels in singing them, but you can hear it on the audio tracks too). Fil also benefits enormously from the gently-conceived and ultra-sympathetic musical accompaniment courtesy of a worthy crew that includes her percussionist-husband Tom McFarland, James Blennerhassett (bass), Brendan Emmett (guitars, mandolin, banjo), Seamus Brett (keyboards) and Brendan Monaghan (uilleann pipes, whistles). There are some special guests too, notably Sean Keane who duets with Fil on Love's Old Sweet Song (Just A Song At Twilight) and Tommy Sands on What Would You Do Love?, with star instrumentalists Steve Cooney, Finbar Furey and Laoise Kelly providing key contributions to individual songs. I might well single out Steve's embellishments for special mention, but truth to tell they're all exemplary in their taste and ambience. Fil can through her own masterful reinterpretations justifiably lay claim to being a contemporary equivalent of the celebrated "first ladies", you might say. However - and here's the rub - although all of the 15 songs on the CD occur in brief snippet form during the course of the six TV programmes, there are several more songs (including My Lagan Love, The Bonny Boy, Johnny The Daisy-O, Farewell But Whenever and Seoladh Na nGamhna) of which extracts are tantalisingly performed on the DVD, but which don't appear on the CD at all. I realise that the CD is over an hour long already, but it's a glorious length and I for one would easily have welcomed extra tracks. More in the way of a missed opportunity though, surely the bonus-material space on the DVD could better have been used for these additional songs (instead it presents five audio-only tracks taken from two of Fil's previous studio albums and unrelated to the Songbirds project). One other, more minor point regarding the CD: although all the songs included therein are taken from the repertoires of the various singers portrayed, the booklet notes don't always specify which singer is primarily associated with which song. We all know of Delia's recordings of If I Were A Blackbird, What Would You Do, Love?, The Connemara Cradle Song and The Moonshiner; some of us will remember Mary's recording of The Castle Of Dromore; The Spinning Wheel was recorded by both Delia and Mary; and Ruby's Softly, Softly was but one of her five Top 20 hits in just one week in 1955! But as for the remainder, well without having seen either the TV series or the DVD we're left guessing just a bit (tho' you won't necessarily think that matters a lot when several of the songs were common to more than one of the singers). In any case though, Fil's own lovingly-turned performances are likely to inspire listeners to investigate the original recordings of the "first ladies". The above reservations notwithstanding, the whole project (DVD and CD) has proved immensely worthwhile; the discs are great value as they stand, and all credit to Fil and Tom for their initiative and skill in producing what amounts to such an intensely rewarding and treasurable experience: both highly charming and uniquely comforting, and perfect fireside entertainment on all counts, I'd say. www.filcampbell.com David Kidman December 2008" - David Kidman

Q: Keeping content above the bottom bar on Mobile Safari iOS 8 I'm aware that minimal-ui is no longer supported on iOS8. But, I have some content fixed to the bottom of a webpage.
The page height is set to 100vh to take up the entire viewport. Some of the content at the bottom is displaying below the bottom bar. So, the user must scroll to see that content.
I would like all of the content to be displayed above the bottom bar. What is the best approach to achieve this?

A: One solution could be to give a little more of padding-bottom to the element with 100vh in order to leave some space to the iphone bottom bar.
Just use this code to target the mobiles with Safari:
@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
    _::-webkit-full-page-media, _:future, :root .safari_only {
        padding-bottom: 65px; //resize
    }
}

And don't forget to add the .safari_only class to the element you want to target, example:
<div class='safari_only'> This div will have a padding-bottom:65px in a mobile with Safari  </div>

One detail: this is gonna affect also the Safari browser in Android devices, but fortunately not many users use Safari on an Android device, anyway if you need it you can use another css rule for overwrite that rule on Android.

Сукхаамфа (асам.: স্বৰ্গদেউ চুখামফা) — цар Ахому. Правив упродовж 51 року, найдовше в історії династії. Сукхаамфа дуже захоплювався спортом. Невдовзі після сходження на престол він упав зі слона, через що почав кульгати. Буранджі називають його кхора роджа.

Правління
Отримав владу після смерті батька, Секленмунга.

Суперечка 1562 року з царством Камата призвела у січні 1563 року до повноцінного вторгнення до Ахому генерала Чіларая. Полководець Айкхек запропонували невдалу тактику оборони, тому Чіларай швидко зайняв Ґархґаон, столицю Ахому. Цар був змушений тікати до Нампура.

Мирні перемовини почались того ж року. Чіларай погодився повернути столицю в обмін на значну земельну ділянку на північному березі річки Брахмапутра, синів царя та дворян як заручників, а також золото, срібло і тканини. Сукхаамфа повернувся до своєї столиці та розпочав розслідування причин поразки, в результаті чого Айкхек був усунутий від посади, а його місце посів Канкхам. Пізніше заручники були звільнені задля покращення стосунків між Ахомом і Каматою, оскільки остання зіштовхнулась із загрозою вторгнення бенгальців.

As I constantly pull objects out of my puppy's mouth, it's a safe bet to say I think about dogs a lot And sadly, I've seen several reports of people (including K-9 officers) leaving animals in cars, causing the animal's death.
We all know leaving your child in a hot car brings criminal charges quickly, and steep ones at that (as it should). Laws are in place to govern when the unthinkable happens to children as a result of being left behind, and lawmakers in Michigan are trying to better protect animals too.
Under the proposed legislation, if a person violates the law, he or she would be guilty of a misdemeanor, which carries a 45-day imprisonment term or a fine of not more than $350, or both; the second offense is a misdemeanor punishable by 90 days in the slammer or a fine up to $500, or both.
If the animal suffers "serious physical harm," the violator is guilty of a misdemeanor, imprisonment of up to one year, a fine up to $1,000, or both.
Last, if the animal dies as a result, the proposed law would make that crime a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison, a fine up to $5,000, or both.
If this bill makes its way to the Governor's desk, it will provide prosecutors with stronger consequences for those violating the law than what are presently in place. It will call out this specific behavior as a crime, hopefully giving pet owners pause (or "paws") when they take Fido or Muffin out for a Sunday ride and decide to stop at the local hardware store on the way.

how can i search for the problem and resolve ?


Apple Support has released a few documents outlying the issues facing would be MacBook Air owners.
Of the several issues outlined many are networking problems. These include a reduction of throughput for wireless networks that use the 2.4-GHz band, slow speeds when connected to multiple Bluetooth devices and routers that refuse to work the Remote Disc magic.
Recent articles from Computerworld.com, Wired.com and Yahoo! News cover many of the problems as well as a few solutions.
One problem no one seems to mention is how there is an impossible reflection of the MBA in its commercial. Look at the manila envelope when the notebook is on top. How do you get that reflection? Yes, I know its good old computer magic, but seriously - it made me chuckle and say "How can that be?"
