Q: Adding View to a GridView with ArrayAdapter I am trying to add a view to a grid view which has an ArrayAdapter. The logic is that if there is no entry in the database, a button will be added prompting the user to add an entry which is this button :

But then there is no button added when the app is launched. I am getting no errors as well. here is my code :
FragmentFood.java
public class FragmentFood extends Fragment {
    LinearLayout layout;
    ArrayList<Items> food = new ArrayList<>();
    ItemsAdapter itemsAdapter;
    GridView gridView;

    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_food, container, false);
        layout = (LinearLayout)view.findViewById(R.id.layout);
        gridView = (GridView) view.findViewById(R.id.gridView);
        populateFoods();
        ItemsAdapter itemsAdapter = new ItemsAdapter(this.getContext(), food);
        gridView.setAdapter(itemsAdapter);
        return view;
    }

    private void populateFoods() {
        DBHelper dbHelper = new DBHelper(this.getContext());
        try {
            Cursor c = dbHelper.getAllData("food");
            if(c != null) {
                if(c.moveToFirst()) {
                    do {
                        String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("name"));
                        String type = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex("type"));
                        double price = c.getDouble(c.getColumnIndex("price"));
                        food.add(new Items(name, type, price));
                    } while (c.moveToNext());
                }
            } else {
                Button btn = new Button(this.getContext());
                btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.no_item);
                btn.setText("");
                gridView.addView(btn);
            }
        } catch (SQLiteException sql) {
            Log.e("error", " error sql", sql);
        }
    }
}

Adapter
public class ItemsAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Items> {

    public ItemsAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<Items> item) {
        super(context, 0, item);
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        // Get the data item for this position
        Items item = getItem(position);
        // Check if an existing view is being reused, otherwise inflate the view
        if (convertView == null) {
            convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.custom_button, parent, false);
        }
        // Lookup view for data population
        Button itemBtn = (Button)convertView.findViewById(R.id.itemBtn);
        // Populate the data into the template view using the data object
        itemBtn.setText(item.getName() + " " + item.getType());
        // Return the completed view to render on screen
        return convertView;
    }
}

XML file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <GridView
        android:id="@+id/gridView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>

There is no data entry in my database and so the addItem button should appear. I have tried adding the view to the parent layout of gridview but no button appears as well. Kindly please help

A: Yes this will happen because your adapter size is zero so no view is generated by adapter. In this case you need to pass at least one item in adapter to show button. if don't want to make like that put button in fragment below GridView.
You can addView to grid view like this:
    gridView = (GridView) view.findViewById(R.id.gridView);
    populateFoods();
    ItemsAdapter itemsAdapter = new ItemsAdapter(this.getContext(), food);
    gridView.setAdapter(itemsAdapter);
    View btnView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.custom_button,null);
    gridView.addView(btnView);
    Button itemBtn = (Button)convertView.findViewById(R.id.itemBtn);

A: In your else code section you are not setting button width & height so it wouldn't show, try following thing:-
      //set the properties for button

       Button btn = new Button(this.getContext());
       btn.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

       btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.no_item);
       btn.setText("");
       gridView.addView(btn);

A: Add
a new item in arraylist and call adapter.notifydatasetchanged

Residents have been experiencing frequent human-wildlife conflicts that have led to loss of lives and property.
George Okwaro said county governments do not have the capacity to manage such a big conservation area.
Taita Taveta County government will next year intensify its campaign to convert Tsavo National Park into a game reserve.
Speaking in Wundanyi, Governor Granton Samboja said, together with members of the County Assembly (MCAs), they will subject the matter to public participation to get the residents' opinion on the issue.
The matter has also elicited debate among conservationists across the country.
Taita Taveta leaders and residents claim they have never benefited from the expansive park.
The leaders will move across the 20 wards to collect more than 250,000 signatures from residents to petition the national government and the Senate.
"We have been having this conversation with the MCAs. We will hold public meetings with residents to ask them to support us," he said.
The governor also appealed for support from leaders in the Coast region.
He said Taita Taveta will not be able to achieve its objective of managing the park if they don't get support from the other five coastal counties.
"As a region we have so many problems that need to be tackled through a joint approach," he said.
Mr Samboja said he will lobby for support from Jumuiya ya Kaunti za Pwani, an economic bloc bringing together the six counties — Taita Taveta, Kwale, Mombasa, Kilifi, Lamu and Tana River.
He said through the regional bloc, coastal residents would be able to solve a myriad of challenges facing them.
Tsavo National Park also borders Kilifi, Kwale, Makueni, Kajiado, Kitui and Tana River counties.
The park occupies almost 62 percent of Taita Taveta County land.
Residents from these counties have been experiencing frequent human-wildlife conflicts that have led to loss of lives and property damage.
They have on numerous occasions lodged complaints to the national government through the Kenya Wildlife Service over the matter but little has been done.
They argue that the compensation they receive is very little and want the issue addressed comprehensively.
The government through the Wildlife Conservation and Compensation committee has only compensated 10 deaths to the tune of Sh35.6 million since 2013, with over 1,500 cases pending.
As one of the largest parks in the world, Tsavo has attracted conservationists from different organisations that have been running various projects meant to conserve the wildlife found in and outside the protected area.
The push to convert the park into a game reserve has elicited mixed reactions among stakeholders.
African Wildlife Foundation Lumo project manager George Okwaro said the quest will be tedious.
He said county governments do not have the capacity to manage such a big conservation area.
"It is not as easy as they think. Tsavo being among the largest parks in the world requires a lot of resources to run it," he said.
When contacted, KWS officials remained tight-lipped, saying Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala is the one mandated to speak on such issues.
"That is political. The county government has never engaged us on the matter, we only see it in the media.
"The revenue we generate goes to the national government to manage other protected areas that do not generate revenue," a KWS official who sought anonymity said.


The usage of solar energy is one topic that excites Nigerian, though majorities see it as a mirage because of the cost.
The reason why some discerning Nigerians are interested in it, of course, is not farfetched. Successive governments have failed woefully with regards to the provision of regular electricity.
While its beginning to gather momentum in Nigeria, in United States and other South Asian countries they seems move a step higher as solar power companies are now competing for land with agriculture, industry and expanding populations by placing floating panels in lakes, dams, reservoirs and the sea.
In Thailand for example, Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT)said it will tender a proposal for a 45-megawatt floating solar plant in the Sirindhorn dam in the country's northeast while it also plans to invest in about 16 such projects across nine dams in the country.
Another country doing similar thing is Singapore, the country is developing one of the world's largest offshore floating solar systems in the Strait of Johor to the north of the island.
"In land-scarce countries like Singapore, the widespread use of PV systems is hindered by space constraints and limited roof space," said Frank Phuan, chief executive officer of Sunseap Group told Reuters.
CEO of Sunseap Group, one of the companies building the system said the platform has to be "more robust" than systems in reservoirs or lakes to withstand tougher conditions on the open sea, and to overcome barnacles that may grow on it.
"It was also difficult to find a spot in the sea that was not frequented by shipping vessels," CEO of Sunseap Group admitted.
According to the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS), despite these challenges, floating solar systems are growing quickly in Asia alongside those on the ground and on roofs.
"While floating panels are more expensive to install, they are up to 16 percent more efficient because the water's cooling effect helps reduce thermal losses and extend their life,"SERIS said.
The According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the United States also experienced a solar boom as installed capacity last year reached 60 gigawatts, up from about 9GW a decade ago, which it expects to more than double in the next five years, with about 14GW being installed annually.
"For a start, that means much more land will be needed: under a scenario that sees solar reach 1,618GW by 2050, the government estimates a total of 6.6 million acres (2.7 million hectares) will be required by 2050 – roughly the size of Massachusetts,"Solar Industry Research Data said.
According to the World Bank in a report title "Where Sun meets Water",China currently accounts for most of the more than 1.1 gigawatts of floating solar capacity now installed.
There are concerns that the panels could block sunlight, affecting marine life and ecosystems, and that the electrical systems might not withstand the onslaught of water supporters say the technology is proven, and that the panels cover too small a surface area to create major problems.
Stakeholders will be hoping similar feet can be repeated in Africa biggest economy which is emerging to be one of the most attractive solar markets in the region.

'The week the U.N. resolution authorizing military force was passed, Sen. Jim Webb, Virginia Democrat, expressed his own concerns.
"We have a military operation that's been put to play, but we do not have a clear diplomatic policy or clear statement of foreign policy. We know we don't like the Gadhafi regime, but we do not have a picture of who the opposition movement really is. We got a vote from the Security Council but we had five key abstentions in that vote.
Five of the 15 countries on the U.N. Security Council abstained from voting on the decision in Libya because they had concerns that the NATO intervention would make things worse. Mrs. Clinton worked to avoid having them exercise their veto by personally calling representatives from Security Council member states.'

Unbelievable?' engages in fundamental questions on Christianity with the intention to openly discuss different opinions between Christians and non-believers.
I love this podcast. It always gives me something to think about. I truly appreciate how there's an undercurrent of polite speech and respect. Very rarely do I find a guest to be offensive in some way. I've been interested in apologetics for a long time. Although I am a Christian, I do not always think the better argument goes to the Christian side nor do I always agree with an argument presented, but that's precisely why I love it. This show sharpens my own mind and broadens my perspective, and I can appreciate that. I also would recommend Justin's book. I definitely enjoyed it.
I've been listening weekly for over three years now. Justin does a fantastic job trying to spur dialog and balanced discussions on various topics. I cannot always get through every episode, but It's a gift to have JB and this show available. My faith has been strengthened by listening and my understanding of more complex issues and where I find myself continually pushes me to grow and seek more. God bless you JB and all who help you with this program.
New listeners: Just scroll the back catalogue and pick a topic that jumps out. You'll get hooked.

Baroque and miracles in the church of San Gregorio Armeno
The church of San Gregorio Armeno is located on the homonym street, traditional for its crib workshops.
The church of San Gregorio Armeno (called also San Biagio Maggiore) is located on the famous street of cribs and is an instance of Baroque architecture in Naples. It is also known as a church of Santa Patrizia.
Palazzo Doria D'Angri and the mysteries of the Italian unification
Palazzo Doria d'Angri is one of the most important monumental buildings in the historic centre of Naples.
Located on via Toledo, the building hosted an Italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi that, on the 7th of September 1860, announced from its balcony the annexation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to the Italian Kingdom. Two important figures helping him: Salvatore De Crescenzo and Sangiovannara.
Naples, the city of the divinity Mitra
We present you the venues in Naples hiding traces of a pagan cult of the divinity called Mitra. A journey in three stages.
During excavations in the caves of the immense labyrinth of the antique Greek-Roman city, archeologists came across traces of a pagan cult of the deity Mitra.
The 19th-century collections in the Museum of Capodimonte
The National Museum of Capodimonte houses a new, 19th-century collection.
The new section has been arranged on the ground floor of the southern part of the museum, access to which is permitted by a suggestive hexagonal staircase. The rooms in which the exposition is presented, called "piano matto", were the private apartments of the royal court in the period of Bourbons and House of Savoy. In 1816 they hosted an apartment of Ferdinand I and then of his nephew, Princes Carolina that, once married Charles of Montemolin in 1850, spent here all her Neapolitan sojourns.
The best seashore in Naples- the quarter of Posillipo
The area of Posillipo is an ideal solution to enjoy the Neapolitan sea, especially in the summer.
Posillipo is the most chic residential quarter of the city, not far away from the centre, accessible through the promenade called Lungomare, on foot, by bike or by public transport. Taking a bath here consists in an unforgettable experience. In the zone it is possible to access enchanting sites perfect for bathing, where there is no crowd and chaos, among grottoes and caves on which the city rises and from which one may depart with a canoe or a boat to discover the beauty of the coast of Posillipo. It is a hill from which one may admire the most beautiful landscape of Naples: an abundant vegetation, colorful flowers, magnificent villas on the slopes, and numerous seasides, such as lido Elena, lido Serena, Bagni Ideal and various private descents towards the sea, among luxurious mansions and parks.
The Museum of Underground
An underground stroll to discover the history of Naples. A journey in time, through traces of the noble Neapolitan origins.
The Museum of Underground (not to be confused with Napoli Sotterranea Museum nor with Tunnel Borbonico, both underground) is located on Piazza Cavour square. One may access the museum through the entrance in the centre of the square, situated in a red building in the middle of the gardens.

Ellie Lawson Interview- September 2012
on 17th September 2012 17th September 2012 by ellie lawson
Interview with http://felicity-jv.blogspot.co.uk
1. Hey Ellie, thank you so much for talking to us! How's it going, what have you been getting up to?
Hi, things are going great! I've been in the studio with a producer I've wanted to work with for years called Ian Grimble who is also the co-founder of a record label I love called Communion. It's been a really good experience and I'm so happy with the new EP which will be released by the end of the year! ALso, I have my first EDM album which will be released soon by A and R Records!
2. So for those of us who aren't so familiar, tell us about yourself! When did you
first realise you had musical talent? You're a singer/song-writer and you own your own label 'Create your own Reality'?
I used to always sing as a kid and make up songs and tape them on my Aunts cassette recorder and when I got the chance play on my Grandad's grand piano! I didn't have lessons but where ever there was a musical instrument I would get on it and make stuff up! So it seems obvious looking back now that is what I loved and somehow I have made a career out of it! Professionally I've been doing it for 10 years and have had a big adventure and journey going to America and Amsterdam recording songs that have been played on radio, TV, in shops and with the electronic dance songs there are ones that have got into the 10 in the Beatport charts. I believe in day dreaming about what you want and making it happen!
3. You're also an ambassador for Quiksilver Women and in 2010 toured Quiksilver stores in the UK and Ireland as part of your sponsorship, have Quiksilver been really supportive throughout your musical career?
I have been with Quiksilver for 4 years and am proud to be the first female Ambassador chosen by them for their Quiksilver Women range of clothes! I get free clothes every season which I love and its our 'job' to wear them when making videos and blogs, so as to tell a creative story with their clothing. Im actually addicted to their clothes! Love them! They are a really laid back company and theres never any pressure to do anything and they are very supportive when I present them with ideas that I have! Which I do all the time!
4. What has been your favourite moment so far in your musical career?
I think arriving in New york to live and being made a fuss of, travelling by limousine to gigs and doing gigs where there were cues of people wanting to get my autograph! It was like being at the top of the mountain that took me 6 years to climb! Whilst I was there is was an amazing experience and gave me a good dose of being a superstar for a while!
5. Who are your ultimate musical influences?
Well part of the reason I could never be just a folk artist, or just a singer songwriter is that I have a wide range of influences from Kate Bush, Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell, John Lennon, KRS One! A Tribe Called Quest, Guru, Billy Holiday, Bjork, Tori Amos, I went through my eras of listening to each artist and really getting deeply into them. What I love best are the individuals doing their own thing with something to say, so thats what I strive to do!
6. In 2005, your song 'Down with You' (from 'The Philosophy Tree') was featured on a big glitzy hollywood movie 'Monster in Law' featuring JLO and Jane Fonda. How was it listening to your song on a film?!
To be honest it is literally in there for 8 seconds so I nearly missed it when I went to the cinema with my manager to see the preview as I was talking to him at the time! It really funny that it is still played so much, its always on TV but I've only seen it the once-and I was glad that it turned out to be a really funny film!
7. So Ellie, you have a brand new single 'Learn' coming out on the 23rd September which is very exciting, what can we expect to hear?
Yes, its really exciting as this song means a lot to me and has been re-written a few times and is finally being born! lol. Its about someone in my life that was 'complex like fractions' (im rubbish at maths so i used that phrase) and its about 'sooner or later-' the tables turning and learning from the situation which is the most important thing in life to move onto the next better version of your life! Im releasing it myself and its currently a free download on my sound cloud page! Without an official PR campaign Im not trying to sell the song, its just really nice to put it out there! It was recorded with Greg Haver , who is a great producer I recorded one track with him last year as a favour from him. He did a great job and I'm really happy with the recording and the music video we made of it with my new band!.
8. Out of your albums and EPs so far, which has been your favourite album to record?
Well recording in LA on the first album was great fun and an experience I will never forget and is like a dream, but I preferred recording my new EP here in London where my roots are and with all live musicians! It was recorded in a church and upstairs there is a video recording company so people like folk singer Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Raghu Dixit, who are a band from India that I love, just sort of wander into the session wanting to hear the string players! I loved walking through the door to the studio-it looked like the door to the tardis in Doctor who!
9. What was it like to record your previous EP, 'Lost without you'?
We had done a lot of the pre production at my Guitarist/Friend/Co-writers house and recorded the final takes at Dave's house sitting on a bed! It was very DIY! The producer Aidan Love came over from Istanbul for the month of August! Cant say I've ever recorded music for an itunes release like that before, but I loved the freedom and how he and Dave got me to playing different instruments like Bass and Glokenspiel. It was great fun and then Aidan took it away and worked his magic! It was an easy and fun EP to make!
10.How was it working with producer and Communion record Co-founder Ian Grimble (Mumford & Sons, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Daughter), on your new EP and what kind of sound should we expect from this upcoming EP?
The EP has gorgeous harp, double bass, live strings and really interesting rhythms, mostly based on Dave's interesting take on the songs where he taps the rhythm on guitar for our acoustic lives sets. Its got a polished sound but is not over produced which is what we were aiming for. It sounds very natural but still the sort of thing I do, harmonies, folk with an urbanness. Its called 'Insights' and the songs are based on things like following your intuition, Giving your best shot and being proud of who you are. I think its quite a female empowering EP in a way. It will be great to hear peoples opinions when I put it out, but always a bit scary too! Ian told me I should be very proud of it, and I am!
12. When can we next see you live? Have you got any tour plans for 2012/13?
I am working on touring plans and will be updating www.ellielawson.com/live as soon as I have dates! I really hope to do a tour of the UK to begin with!
13. What advice would you give to any aspiring singer/song-writers trying to get their foot in the door in such a tough, competitive industry?
Just take one step at a time and follow your bliss. What ever you love doing, keep doing it and you will build up a body of work and you will then become passionate about whatever else needs doing! I have spent years creating songs and loving it, so I also do the business side as well as Im inspired to find the best team for each project to represent it. Its cliche but basically just strive to be the best version of you that you can be in all different areas and it will all come together. Have faith because in the music industry anything can happen when you can record something that people like.
14. Finally, Have you got any messages you'd like to send to all your lovely fans?
Thank you so much for listening and supporting my music. It means more than you know for independent artists like me to receive nice messages of appreciation from fans! I have personal profiles where I love to converse with my fans so check me out on facebook or leave a message on my main facebook fan page to add you to one of my personal profiles or send me an email on my website! I like to be very approachable!

Charles Caudrelier, the skipper of Dongfeng Race Team in the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race, says his crew is in good spirits on their 11th day at sea on Leg 8 from Itajai in Brazil to Newport, Rhode Island. But they know that their battle, with MAPFRE will go down to the wire.
Dongfeng set sail on this 5,700-nautical mile leg with a one-point lead over Spanish rivals MAPFRE and so far the Chinese team, sponsored by Dongfeng Motor Corporation, has been well ahead of Xabi Fernandez's crew as the fleet has made its way into the northern hemisphere.
Today the boats are around 300 miles east of Barbados and powering north towards the eastern tip of Puerto Rico at 20 knots of boatspeed in warm conditions, driven by powerful northeast Trade Winds. Dongfeng is in second place, about 19 miles behind the leg leader Team Brunel, with MAPFRE back in fifth position, another 50 miles behind.
"We are in good spirits – we have the feeling that the further we get with this race, the more we feel we can do it," said Caudrelier, sitting at the navigation station on Dongfeng. "However, the pressure is mounting too. The stakes are higher and we know that we can't really afford to make mistakes any more.
Caudrelier and navigator Pascal Bidegorry have been reflecting on their decision several days ago to gybe to the west of the fleet for the crossing of the Doldrums. They hoped that this would give them more breeze through the transition to the Trade Winds but this has not been the case.
Right now Dongfeng is still the most westerly boat of the seven in the fleet and is about 18 miles west of Team Brunel and around 30 miles west of the track of Vestas 11th Hour Racing and MAPFRE who are on the eastern flank.

Flathróe mac Fiachrach (mort en 774) est un  roi du Dál nAraidi des Cruithnes en Ulaid, un royaume régional médiéval d'Irlande. Il est le fils de Fiachra Cossalach († 710), un précédent souverain. Il est issu de la lignée d'Eilne de la famille royale et règne de  749 à 774.

Contexte
La généalogie de Flathróe mac Fiachrach est détaillée dans le  sous la forme suivante :

Oilill s. Cumascach s. Flannagán s. Eochaid s. Breasal s. Flaithrí s. Fiachra Cos-salach s. Dúnghalach s. Scannal s. Béice s. Fiachra Crach, qui est Teallán s. Baodán s. Eochaidh..

Les annales ne donnent aucune information sur son règne relativement long,  mais l'entrée relative à sa mort est significative du fait qu'il est le dernier souverain du Dál nAraidi à être désigné par le titre de  « Roi des Cruthines  »

Q: How does the : param in a query work I always thought that : was a required when writing a SOQL query, lately I have been seeing people post queries with or without :
I tested this in DEV console and it works in both cases. Have I been wrong all this time about the : (or) salesforce relax the rules on : in a query
List <user> userList = [SELECT id,name FROM User where Isactive = true limit 1]; // worrks
List <user> userList1 = [SELECT id,name FROM User where Isactive =: true limit 1]; // works

Pretty basic but would be a huge help if someone can clarify!!!

A: The colon : is used to bind Apex variables in queries.
 String name = 'Bacon';
 List<Food__c> foods = [SELECT Id FROM Food__c WHERE Name = :name];

This is the equivalent of:
 List<Food__c> foods = [SELECT Id FROM Food__c WHERE Name = :'Bacon'];

Which is the same as:
 List<Food__c> foods = [SELECT Id FROM Food__c WHERE Name = 'Bacon'];

It can also be used to bind Lists and Sets:
 List<String> foodNames = new List<String> { 'Bacon', 'Eggs' };
 List<Food__c> foods = [SELECT Id FROM Food__c WHERE Name IN :foodNames];

Clark's popcorn has been an American favorite since 1942. Clark's is recognized as on the first to package popcorn-in-oil, making popping corn a simple, one-step process. Clark's Snacks was purchased by the Jones Family in 1992. At the time of purchase, the plant's output was only 60,000 microwave popcorn bags per day. Every year, we have seen an increase in business. In 2004, popcorn-in-oil was discontinued in order to expand the microwave popcorn lines. In 2009, we purchased neighboring facility to continue our expansion. Currently we manufacture over 500,000 microwave bags per day and have the capacity for more!

BRIARCLIFF MANOR, N.Y. -- An 18th-century Briarcliff listing, formally home to a blacksmith's workshop, includes details that are hard to forge in today's builds.
100 Scarborough Station Road was built in 1748 and renovated over 200 years later. Though the converted carriage house was updated to include more modern features, it still has some aspects of the original build that offer a classic appeal. The focal point of the living room is its original fireplace, which was once a blacksmith's forge, used to make swords, knives, armor and other iron and steel products. There is a reason this home wasn't destroyed to make room for a brand new build. It's a very strong structure with great attention-to-detail.
The home is listed for $1,999,000 by Houlihan Lawrence and includes over 7,000 sq. ft of living space. In addition to the new kitchen with custom cabinetry, the interior also includes a card room, library and wine cellar. There is so much space inside this home, every room has been carefully thought out and well designed. It's an old build, but you can feel the modern touch that has been constructed.
Equally as impressive as the home's interior is the yard, which boasts 1.3 acres along the Hudson River. French doors along the rear of the home open to an outdoor patio, overlooking the wooded property, with the river as a backdrop. For residents of this home, there is no better place to be on a beautiful day than your own backyard.
Just down the street from the Scarborough train station, 100 Scarborough Station Road is a short train ride away from New York City.

Britney Spears & Katy Perry Just Met — New Bestie Alert!
There's something so endearing about two famous people hanging out with each other (cue Jennifer Lawrence meeting Jeff Bridges). Take Britney Spears for example — just because she's the reigning princess of pop doesn't mean she can't go total fangirl when meeting her contemporary. And, that's exactly what she did when she crossed paths with Katy Perry at The Smurfs 2 blue carpet premiere this past Sunday.


NORTHALLERTON, United Kingdom—People don't beat around the bush in North Yorkshire – their no-nonsense attitude a point of pride for those who live in this picturesque part of England.
Up here, over 230 miles from cosmopolitan London, people offer a damning end-of-year report for Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit performance.
Mr. Penketh, along with the majority of voters in this part of the country, opted to leave the European Union on June 23, 2016. In the greater Yorkshire region, 58 percent backed the Leave campaign, compared to 52 percent of voters nationally.
After the referendum, former Prime Minister David Cameron resigned and was replaced by Theresa May, who took the reins in triggering the Brexit procedure with Brussels before calling a snap election where she was largely expected to win a landslide.
But the move backfired: She lost her Conservative Party's hard-fought and slender parliamentary majority, while maintaining just enough seats to cling to power.
Many would say the government's luck has since gone from bad to worse with regard to Brexit.
"They are just about holding things together. There is no strategy," said Tim Oliver, an analyst at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
"The polling tells us that leave voters are angry at how negotiations are going and that they know it's going badly, but that they don't think Brexit is a mistake. They just think the EU is being unfair and Her Majesty's government incompetent," he added.
That stance certainly resonates with Mr. Penketh – he said he'd still opt to leave the EU if asked to vote again.
"I have a deep and abiding mistrust of Brussels," he said. "The commissioners aren't elected and they're building a mini empire."
This rural part of England is about as quintessentially British as it gets. Cricket is the preferred pastime, tea is famously blended here, and the provincial capital, Northallerton, with a population of 17,000, was established as a market town by royal charter back in 1200 – there's still a market here every Saturday and Wednesday.
Though it may be removed from London, that isn't to say this secluded plot of England is poor. Farming and tourism are the main industries here, and unemployment is below the national average at just 2.2 percent.
The reasons behind North Yorkshire's support of the Brexit referendum differ from those of more deprived parts of the UK, locals say.
Other leave voters agree. "The main reason for my vote was to regain sovereignty. I could see Britain slipping away and it was the unelected EU Commission, not our parliament, that was governing this country," said Peter Bennett, 64, a retired middle manager.
As the country gets ready to relax for the Christmas holiday, Prime Minister May has been afforded a brief and rare sigh of relief.
That's because the EU has agreed sufficient progress has been made on the so-called divorce proceedings: Officially the terms by which the UK can leave, but unofficially how much money to UK will fork over to the bloc to cover its budgetary commitments.
That means the talks can finally move on to what the UK has been itching to discuss: its future trade relationship with the EU.
"It's more than double what we expected the bill to be, but it's over a period time and I think it'll still be worth it," said retiree Mr. Bennett.
The EU's stance in negotiations has even alienated the minority of those in this region who voted to stay in the union.
"Europe has been very immature and it's mainly the French behind it," said 48-year-old lawyer Catherine Bell, who voted against Brexit.
But Mr. Oliver with the London School of Economics contends that the EU is the more stable of the two partners in negotiations.
Prime Minister May is perceived to have a poor negotiating stance — not least because she is consistently being undermined by the opposition Labour Party gains in the polls, pro-EU lawmakers in her own party and the Liberal Democrats, which are still campaigning for the UK to stay in the EU.
Some Liberal Democrats have even suggested that Brexit might never happen – but that's not a message voters here are buying.
"The Liberal Democrats are irrelevant," said Ms. Bell.
Others agreed: "There are a lot of people trying to halt Brexit, but thankfully they're not in a position to do anything about it," said Mr. Bennett.
As the Prime Minister gets ready to begin discussions on trade in the new year, it's unclear whether the UK will also opt to leave the EU's customs union. Doing so would mean the UK is free once again to negotiate its own free trade deals with other countries like the United States.
This has angered some Brexiteers, because it was one of their main economic arguments to justify leaving the EU.

Finally, here's my first interpretation of the White Scars. I'm working on a squad of biker scouts, but I thought I'd use a fully armored marine pictured here for the sergeant.
White is a tough color to work with, especially when it's for a chapter that is supposed to be as rough and ready as the White Scars are. I used brown washes and blending to shade the white. I also made a major departure from the traditional shoulder pad and chapter icon colors, using an orange background with as much black as I could work into the icons. The red trim colors on the cloak and stripes on the bike is darkened a bit also.
There's not as much room for stowage on these lighter bikes, but I managed to strap a holstered shotgun to the front fork, and I stuck part of a backpack from a plastic Warzone miniature on the back of the bike to represent stowage. The parts that hung from the backpack look like they're blowing in the wind when turned on their side!
To keep the contrast under control, I avoided using black for anything, instead using dark brown, gray, and steel for the mechanical parts on the bike, and the base. I like to use a custom base for bikes to keep them small (about the size of a shadow, really). Bases allow you to pose the bike in a lean, for a more dramatic looking model.
I knew I wanted to do scout bikers for the White Scars, and although I had a set of the new metal scout biker models, I wanted to do something a bit more primitive to bridge the gap between the horse riding warriors of Mundus Planus and the full fledged Space Marines of the chapter.
I finally settled on legs from the old plastic Goliath ganers, since they were wide enough to straddle the bike and almost reach the foot plates, and angled them where they would meet the torsos to approximate a seated position. I used torsos from the new plastic chaos marauder minis (which are awesome btw), and arms from anything that could hold a weapon or reach the handlebars. I spliced marine biker hands onto the arms to get them to hold on- important since I was going to be swapping scouts out for regular marines at some point and couldn't glue them in place. I used heads from the old plastic marine scouts, and trimmed the mohawks down to just a top knot. I love those heads, they're so expressive, especially for such old models... The shotgun arm on the scout above is also from an old plastic Goliath model, filed down slightly so it wasn't too bulky for the rest of the model.
The bare torsos and arms on the scouts meant there wasn't a lot of places to paint color other than the legs. I settled on dirty white for the pants, steel for the shin guards, leather for all the straps and pouches, and grey for the furs. I used a dark brown wash to help define the edges of the straps, armor, and weapons. The rider on the left is the shotgun guy again, the one on the right has an autopistol. I made a third scout with a flamer too.


WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon is obviously a huge part of the business for the sports entertainment company. However, he is a human being and getting up in age as he is now 73-years-old, WWE understands that something could happen to the billionaire one day.
The WWE Chairman decided to buy the WWE from his father, Vince McMahon Sr. in 1982 at the age of 37-years-old, which would be a defining moment in the history of professional wrestling.
During the late 1980s, McMahon shaped the company into a unique sports entertainment brand that reached family audiences while attracting fans who had never before paid attention to pro wrestling and grew the WWE into the business that it is today.
WWE issued its full 10-K SEC filing this week that listed the possibility of McMahon's death or retirement.


SANTA ANA, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 6, 2013) - Latteno Food Corp. (OTC Pink: LATF) today announced that its wholly-owned co-op Valley Organics has expanded its R&D and products development to Colorado due to recent Federal policies and State laws changes.
Nearly a year after Washington state and Colorado voted to legalize recreational marijuana, the Obama administration announced a few months back that it won't sue the states to comply with federal laws, though it reserves the right to in the future.
The world's first recreational marijuana retail license was granted to a dispensary in Colorado last month. Annie's, located in the mountain and gambling town of Central City, was the recipient of the historic license.
Valley Organics has already deployed representatives to Colorado to negotiate joint MMJ products development and licensing/distributing agreements. Shareholders will be promptly updated as new products roll out will starting to take place early next week.


The Wright Perspective℠ - A blog by Gary Wright II - Ok, who brought the cat in heat???
Ok, who brought the cat in heat???
Today's Martha Stewart show was on cats and Martha brought all five of her beautiful cats (Verdi, Vivaldi, Bartok, Empress Tang, Princess Peony) to the show.
What really blew my mind was that nearly every audience member brought their cats to the show too. I can't believe they had that many cats in the same room with no incidents!
One cat "Boomerang" kept hissing at Martha and then tried to bite the vet. An amazing animal was "Trouble" who had no eyes, yet the owner says it has no problem playing or acting "normal."
Did you know that they have abortions for pets? I found out when asking my veterinarian about spay / neuter.
Something I learned from today's show is that they do acupuncture on cats. Do you know how much you would have to pay me to stick a cat with a bunch of needles???
Some people were shocked that I give all of my pets a regular bath and grooming. Yes, you can bathe a cat. My babies are due for another bath soon, so I'll take some pictures for your enjoyment.
One thing I don't know is how do you toilet train them?
I'm working on an article on pet care which will be published soon.

Where we came from and where we're going
The Leventhal Map & Education Center stands on land that was once a water-based ecosystem that provided for the Massachusett people who lived in the Greater Boston area. We acknowledge these indigenous people, the devastating effects of settler colonialism on their communities, and their contemporary presence.
Adopted June 17, 2020
The Norman B. Leventhal Map & Education Center at the Boston Public Library inspires curiosity and learning, and fosters geographic perspectives on the relationships between people and places, through free and accessible collections and resources, critical interpretation and research, and K-12 and public education.
Commit to integrity, excellence, respect in all our relationships, and professional library ethics*
Listen to and include community voices, especially those who have been less represented
Increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in our organization and our work with others
Work to advance a more just and equitable society
Keep our spaces and community services open, welcoming, and "free to all"

Our Commitment to Confront Systemic Racism
We condemn the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and many, many more who have become victims of racial violence. These attacks are tragic symptoms of a long history of systemic racism, brutality, and inequality that continue to undermine the most basic rights of so many of our neighbors, family, friends, and fellow citizens.
We are called to take action to reveal and work towards ending these injustices. Maps, both historical and contemporary, reflect and shape our lives. Where Black and other people of color have been subjected to violence, discrimination, and depredation, maps can expose these patterns, assist in identifying and addressing inequities, and enable us to act against them.
We are renewed in our commitment to listen and educate ourselves more deeply about the racial dimensions of ingrained systems of domination, and to offer materials, free to all, that may help in this conversation. Here are just a few resources that show some of the geographic stakes of this struggle:
The Racial Dot Map of the United States allows you to see how strikingly segregated our cities remain in the present day
The Mapping Police Violence project shows how Black people bear a disproportionate share of harm from police violence
Closer to home, the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission's State of Equity report maps patterns of racialized inequity in the Boston region
In our own programs, we commit to examining and confronting these geographic patterns of injustice. We address the ways that maps have been used as instruments of oppression and tools of dominance, and explore how maps can be used to engender positive change. We will engage and amplify the voices of people of color in our interpretative programs. We will use maps to open discussion of the role of racism in the past and present. Perhaps most importantly, we will connect with and listen to communities of color, ask what more can we do, and do it humbly and justly.
This is a process which will take not only individual reflection but a collective effort. We will work with colleagues in libraries, museums, educational institutions, and community groups around the world to build efforts actively dedicated to a more just society.
The Norman B. Leventhal Map & Education Center at the Boston Public Library, created in 2004, is a nonprofit organization established as a public-private partnership between the Library and philanthropist Norman Leventhal. Its mission is to use the collection of 200,000 maps and 5,000 atlases for the enjoyment and education of all through exhibitions, educational programs, and a website that includes more than 10,000 digitized maps at collections.leventhalmap.org. The map collection is global in scope, dating from the 15th century to the present, with a particular strength in maps and atlases from the New England region, American Revolutionary War period, nautical charts, and world urban centers.
The Leventhal Map & Education Center is located on the first floor of the Library's historic McKim Building in Copley Square. It includes an exhibition gallery that features changing thematic exhibitions; kids' nooks with map puzzles, books, and activities; a public learning center with research books; and a reading room for rare map research
Educational programs for students in grades K-12 are offered to school groups on site and in the classroom. Lesson plans based on national standards are available on the website, and professional development programs for teachers are scheduled regularly throughout the year.
The Leventhal Map & Education Center is ranked among the top ten in the United States for the size of its collection, the significance of its historic (pre-1900) material, and its advanced digitization program. It is unique among the major collections because it also combines these features with exceptional educational programs to advance geographic literacy among students in grades K to 12 and enhance the teaching of subjects from history to mathematics to language arts. The collection is also the second largest in the country located in a public library, ensuring unlimited access to these invaluable resources for scholars, educators, and the general public.
Our Annual Reports can be accessed through each link below. The Leventhal Center's fiscal year runs July 1 - June 30.

In April, sales of commercial properties were down a bit when compared with the same month last year, according to the Cape Cod & Islands Association of Realtors.
There were six commercial properties sold in April, down 25 percent from eight in April 2006, according to the Realtors association. The regional association only tracks sales of properties handled within the Multiple Listing Service and does not include commercial deals that are handled privately.
The April data is the most recent available from the Realtors group. Data for May is expected to be issued in the coming week.
The total value of commercial sales in April was $1.82 million, making the average sale value about $304,000.
The number of commercial properties actively being listed for sale is up 22 percent over last year. There were 194 properties listed for sale in April compared with 159 in April 2006.
Of the commercial properties that were sold in April, they had lingered on the market for an average of 219 days. That's up 40 days, or 22 percent, from April 2006.
The Realtors association also reported the sale of two hotel/motel properties on the Cape and Islands in April, which was double the number of such properties sold in April 2006.
Combined, the two sales had a value of $9.45 million, making the average sale price about $4.72 million.
The two hotel/motel properties that were sold had been listed for sale an average of 89 days.
Meanwhile, it looks like there are fewer hotel/motel properties available for sale. There were 26 such properties listed for sale in April, down five, or 16 percent, when compared with April 2006.

Q: How To Properly Use realloc On A 2D Array In C++ I am trying to use take realloc a 2D array but I keep getting a Segmentation Fault and it seems to almost positively be stemming from how I am reallocating my 2D array. The array is initially specified to be a size of 3 x 26. My goal is to simple reallocate the first array (3) and just multiply it by 2 while keeping the other arrays all a size of 26.
//Array creation
 int ** array_creation (){
    int ** arr = (int **) malloc(buffer_size * sizeof(int *));
        if(arr==NULL){
            cout<<"malloc fail"<<endl;
        }
        for(int i=0;i<buffer_size;i++){
            arr[i] = (int *)malloc(26 * sizeof(int));
            if(arr[i]==NULL){
                cout<<"malloc fail"<<endl;
            }
        }
    return arr;
}
//Variables
buffer_size = 3;
buffer_count = 0;
 if(buffer_count >= buffer_size){
        cout<<"Doubling the size of dynamic arrays!"<<endl;
        buffer_size = buffer_size * 2;
        // arr = (int **) realloc(arr, buffer_size * sizeof(int));
}

So once the buffer_size is equal to the buffer_count I want to just double the first array that would start at 3, so make the 2D array go from 3 array of 26 integers to 6 arrays of 26 integers.
Thank you for any help.

A: Look at your malloc
int ** arr = (int **) malloc(buffer_size * sizeof(int *));

Now look at your realloc
arr = (int **) realloc(arr, buffer_size * sizeof(int));

See the difference? It should be sizeof(int *) for both cases.

A: Correct usage of realloc (in general) looks as follows; note that you need a temporary variable to hold the result of the reallocation because you'd lose the old pointer on failure otherwise:
auto tmp = realloc(thePointer, newSize);
if(tmp)
{
    // cast here or earlier, doesn't matter
    thePointer = static_cast<decltype(thePointer)>(tmp);
}
else
{
    // appropriate error handling; note how `thePointer` remainded
    // unchanged and you still have access to the previous array,
    // so you might e.g. free it to avoid memory leaks
}

In your specific case the pointer type is int**, the new size is buffer_size * sizeof(int*) (note that you missed an asterisk there in your code!).
However usage of malloc/realloc is discouraged in C++. You avoid all this memory management hassle if you use std::vector instead of raw arrays.

The future of flying cars: science fact or science fiction
Posted by: Mohammad Daeizadeh in Science May 8, 2017 0 341 Views
Will flying cars ever really take off? Shutterstock/Pavel Chagochkin
Uber has shaken up the taxi industry and is trying to put driverless cars on our roads. Now the company aims to have flying ride-sharing vehicles in our skies by 2020.
Uber is not alone in working towards flying cars. But is this realistic, or just marketing hype?
To many of us, the concept of flying cars is synonymous with the future, just like silver jumpsuits and gourmet food in the form of a pill. Those dreams have not yet materialised so what about flying cars?
How is this a car?
The classic idea of a flying car was just that: a car that could somehow fly.
In fiction, the author Ian Fleming was a fan of flying cars, writing his novel Chitty Chitty Bang Bang around the concept in 1963. He also included a flying car in his James Bond novel (1964) and subsequent film, The Man with The Golden Gun. These concepts are based on a car with wheels that can drive on the road but is also capable of flying when required.
Science fiction writers and directors have often dispensed with the need to have future vehicles ever drive on the road. Instead, the "cars" are simply small aircraft such as the one Anakin Skywalker used in the Star Wars film Attack of the Clones.
The recent flying car announcements vary in type from single-seat, multi-copter drone-type aircraft, to road-style cars that turn into light aircraft and small flying boats that hover above the water.
It would appear that almost any small flying vehicle capable of transporting a person is now referred to as a flying car. But clearly they are really just a kind of small aircraft.
How safe?
Any potential passenger will want to know: "How safe is this contraption?"
The likely answer right now is "not very safe", as with all early-stage technology. Companies are working feverishly to make their aircraft "safe enough" in the hope of convincing regulators and governments that the vehicles can be entrusted with human lives.
But there are incredible safety challenges. One of the biggest is what to do when things go badly wrong.
With a normal car, you can often just slow to a halt and stop. But a flying car might fall out of the sky, killing not only its occupants but potentially bystanders too.
The Chinese company Ehang is proposing to equip its flying car service in Dubai with a parachute. This service will apparently take a single occupant from the roof of one Dubai skyscraper to the roof of another.
Should the parachute deploy, it is not clear whether the vehicle will have any way to control where it lands, or how safely.
In the existing aviation industry, much of the mechanics of flying is automated. Given the challenges of a person flying compared to driving a car, and the efforts to reduce human error in aviation, there is even more likelihood of flying cars becoming automated so that no human pilot is needed.
But there will be differences between existing aviation practice and flying cars. Passenger jet air travel owes much of its impressive safety record to improvements in aircraft maintenance procedures and our understanding of failures. It is unlikely that the business case for small flying cars will allow for such rigorous practices.
Instead, flying cars will be less complex than modern jets, and the latest demonstrators show exactly that.
The use of large numbers of small electric motors, such as in the Lilium all-electric aircraft, reduces the maintenance complexity drastically. It also provides an inbuilt measure of redundancy in case one motor fails.
How fast, how far?
Wouldn't it be great to avoid the traffic and public transport congestion of our major cities? We think so.
For example, it currently takes 23 minutes to drive the 19km from our offices in Brisbane to the domestic airport, when traffic is freely flowing.
If we could fly from our office roof (and there is a pad on our roof that is ideally suited to deploying a flying car), the trip would only take 8 minutes.
We'd get a double boost, first from flying at an average speed of (say) 100kmh, and second by taking the straightest path, a mere 13km.
This example journey is well within the capabilities of the flying cars being demonstrated today.
Of course it may be that authorities mandate that we stick to flight corridors reserved for flying cars, so a direct route is not always an option. These corridors may be strategically located over low-risk areas of land that have minimal population.
There are lots of things about flying cars that are hard, but some problems may become easier.
There is a lot more space available for cars when you when you have access to three dimensions for travel, as long as the navigation challenges are solved.
Using the several hundred metres of space above the ground means you can potentially have a lot less traffic congestion. You also don't need to build and maintain expensive road infrastructure.
For self-driving flying cars, moving into the sky actually makes some aspects of planning and traffic control easier.
It is too early to know how the economics of flying cars will work.
Given the huge regulatory hurdles, the safety issues to overcome, and the lack of special infrastructure to support flying cars (such as take-off and landing areas and charging points for the all-electric aircraft), it is difficult to estimate what a trip should cost.
The current non-flying car ride-sharing companies such as Uber appear to be operating at a massive loss.
The price paid by the consumer in an Uber vehicle is reported to be on average less than half the actual cost of the trip, but the company is hoping to recoup some of these costs by implementing driverless cars. Given that there's even more chance that flying cars will be driverless, maybe the economics will be favourable.
What would a consumer be willing to pay to possibly get to their destination in half the time? There's at least one famous historical example in Concorde that posed that same question, and had safety issues. Sadly, its supersonic passenger flights are not available any more.
How long the before I can fly to work?
There is still so much to do before flying cars can become common. The technology has come a long way, mainly due to the rapid development of drones. But the technology of the flying machine itself is just one part of a very complex system.
Like ground-based self-driving cars, it's likely that if they ever happen, flying cars will occur in certain priority areas first.
Imagine a cheaper but still expensive option for high-level executives, such as the Dubai proposal.
For the rest of us, we may already be walking around in silver jumpsuits and eating meals in a pill before we get to ride in a flying car.

Hundreds mourn at funeral of tragic Chelsea Bruce in Springburn
Exclusive by Stacey Mullen @journostacey Senior Multimedia Reporter
HUNDREDS of mourners packed into a church for the funeral of popular 16-year-old Chelsea Bruce.
The service was held in Springburn Parish Church today with around 600 people in attendance.
Tragic Chelsea died earlier this month after falling ill at a house party in the area. It is believed that she took ecstasy along with two other boys, 16 and 18, who were treated in hospital and later released.

During the service, Rev Brian Casey said Springburn was in mourning following the young schoolgirl's death. The minister is also the school chaplain at Springburn Academy.
He said: "Friends, Today Springburn is in mourning. We are shocked, We are in pain and we are broken.
"We have stopped and gathered here today to join together in our brokenness.
"We have lost one of our brightest and definitely one of our best.
"Anytime I saw Chelsea, the one thing that stood out was her wide smile. From ear to ear. A smile that showed sincerity, care, and intelligence. A smile that Karen, her mum used to call her clown smile because it was huge but, you couldn't help but smile back.
"She was a girl who was working three jobs this summer to pay for her holiday whilst going back to school at the end of the summer to achieve even better things. A girl who had a high standard of academic achievement.
"She was a girl who told off her brother for giving one of his teachers a hard time.
"She had a big heart, a sense of duty and a good work ethic.
"She was a girl who cared.
"We are going to hear some wonderful things about this beautiful girl today who had so much life inside of her and had a great life ahead of her.
"And yet today, we have come to say goodbye to Chelsea.
"Today we are grieving as family, friends and as a whole community."
The popular minister also said he would fight to make sure what happened to Chelsea won't happen again.
The service also featured the Celine Dion song Fly and a Charles Dickens poem These Things Shall Never Die."

Sara Bareilles and Kray Van Kirk come home for the holidays, students leave
Kray Van Kirk
While the club scene will taper off for a few weeks, as it does every year around the holidays, those of you who had the foresight to snatch up tickets months ago will have the unique privilege of enjoying the sounds of Humboldt's most famous daughter. Yes, kids, Sara is coming home.
Since she last played here, Sara Bareilles has somehow managed to become even more of a superstar than she already was, by golly. She defeated the dreaded "sophomore slump" when her second major-label album, Kaleidoscope Heart, debuted at number freakin' one on Billboard's Top 200 album chart, posting sales of more than 90,000 copies in its first week of release. While leadoff single "King of Anything" may not feel as omnipresent as Little Voice's "Love Song" was three years ago, the track has performed well and was recently nominated for a Grammy in the category Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
At this point it's probably safe to say it: Bareilles is a bigger deal in the industry than Faith No More and (gasp!) has probably stolen Mike Patton's "You know, they're from Humboldt" crown. As though that matters. But c'mon, FNM was never asked to play at the Annual White House Easter Egg Roll, as Bareilles was this year. Sorry, boys.
Sara will play two consecutive sold-out nights at HSU's Van Duzer Theater on Friday and Saturday. The second show was added due to demand for the first. As we alluded to earlier, both are sold out. Odds of a third show being added? Hey, let a girl enjoy Christmas with her family, would ya?
While she may be exponentially more successful, Sara is not the only music-maker coming home for the holidays. Saturday night at the Westhaven Center for the Arts, you can catch an intimate show with Alaskan singer/songwriter Kray Van Kirk. Though he may hang his hat in Sarah Palin's home state these days -- Juneau, specifically -- his roots are pure Humboldt.
At age 3, after his father completed his Ph.D, Kray's family moved to the North Coast -- his father is still currently a professor at HSU -- and graduated from Arcata High in 1983 before setting out for academia.
It doesn't always take the first time. After dabbling in and deciding against seminary at UC Berkeley, Kray moved home to collect his thoughts and got more seriously into music, honing his skills as a performer and songwriter by playing small local shows. One of his regular gigs was playing dinner music at Ottavio's in Arcata, a location that will soon open in its latest incarnation as a branch of Coast Central Credit Union. Things change.
Kray feels his approach to making music was greatly influenced by growing up in Humboldt County in the ~~~70s when the back-to-the-landers moved north from Berkeley. At some point, some good ol' hippie ethos rubbed off on him and as a result he no longer makes CDs, opting instead to make most of his music available for free download on his website, www.krayvankirk.com. "There is nothing wrong with making money," Van Kirk believes, "but the last thing we need in the world is more 'stuff.'"
More ~~~70s influence can be heard in Kray's songs. His clearly enunciated words, sung in a smooth tenor range over busily picked, often 12-string guitar backing, are easily identified as being reminiscent of John Denver or James Taylor. Lyrically he leans hopeless romantic, often employing allegorical content that sounds akin to British poetry, which may explain the motivation for his recent tour in Ireland and Great Britain.
These days, a single dad and close to completing his own Ph.D, Kray is happy to be coming home for the holidays and is looking forward to his parents being able to see their grandaughter -- which, he admits, hasn't happened in a few years. I had the duty of informing Kray that he would be playing on the same night as Humboldt's somewhat more famous relocated musician, which amused the singer. "I'd like to see her show. My daughter will want tickets." Sorry, kid. Again, sold out. You'll have to hang out with your pop.
Moving on. Bummer note: Rowdy Reno-based outlaw country band Hellbound Glory -- who get some honorary Humboldt privileges because they play here so damn much -- were gonna be troopers like Sara Bareilles and play two shows on the North Coast this week -- Friday at Six Rivers Brewery and Saturday at The Alibi in Arcata. You may still see their shows listed, but they've canceled. We wanted to hear some blaze-o'-glory story that ended in an alcohol-fueled shootout with authorities. The actual story? Apparently, band member Leroy Virgil can't make the trip because he's going to be a new daddy. Pff. Way to kill the mystique, dude. But congrats.
There's a couple local bands that are not having children and are following through on their two-night work weeks. Groupies for rock ~~~n' rollers Twango Macallan can catch them Friday night at the Riverwood Inn and then follow them to Bear River Casino, where they'll be playing Saturday. Similarly, the unceasing juggernaut known as The Roadmasters punch the clock Friday at Blue Lake Casino, then again Saturday night at Cher-Ae Heights. That's how it's done, men.
Finally, a round of applause and a pat on the back for the warriors. Say it with me now: "College shmollege." Now, try your hardest to not be a jackass. It's gonna be hard.
Inevitably, the young Arcata bar crowd -- those that allowed themselves only brief study breaks and fleeting glimpses of uninhibited freedom during the semester -- will be out in full force this weekend. Crushing responsibility has been lifted. ~~~Tis the week to test oneself. Don't wear your nice shoes. I know, you want to try and get all that partying out of your system before the dreaded Christmas week ahead, when you'll be stuck inside playing Yahtzee with the ~~~rents. Take it from this crusty, jaded curmudgeon, -- I turn 28 this week! -- don't push too hard. It ain't worth it.
But for those who'd like to push too hard: In addition to the allure of bar row, on Friday night, HumBrews is throwing an End of Semester Party with local DJs. But remember, it's a 21 and over venue, kids. So those fake IDs better be pretty convincing. Better yet, don't try that.
Be safe. Get home. Merry Christmas.

Community Leaders Tackle Downward Spiral of Gun Violence in Chicago
4News LinkBy - Michelle Gallardo
August 30, 2016 by GRCAdmin
A staged funeral procession to Mount Sinai Hospital was one of several discussions that took place Tuesday to address the growing problem of gun violence in Chicago.
"I lost a brother, sister, an uncle and two cousins to gun violence right here in this neighborhood," said Rev. Robin Hood, Illinois Anti-Foreclosure Alliance
There is no disagreement. The current level of gun violence in the city of Chicago is unacceptable.
"Kids don't jump rope together anymore. You don't play hopscotch because you're afraid you may be shot by a stray bullet," said Principal Sherryl Moore-Ollie, William Penn Elementary School.
Principal Moore-Ollie was just one of the North Lawndale neighborhood's many community leaders that came together to discuss how to put a stop to the downward spiral being experienced by people here. Housing, job creation, education are all elements needed to curb the violence.
"I've been a part of Mothers Opposed to Violence for years and we're still fighting," said Gloria Muldrow, a crime victim.
Elsewhere in Chicago, similar discussions were being had. Proposing a somewhat unorthodox solution, longtime violence interrupter Tio Hardiman called on the state to resume its funding of Ceasefire, and suggests employing some of the same people currently responsible for perpetrating violent crimes in the city to stop them from happening.
"You need strong individuals that know these young brothers for real that can get into their ear at different times. And you have to hang out with them at times because you have to be there," Hardiman said.
Meanwhile, in Douglas Park, a group of several dozen people came together for a mock funeral procession in Douglas Park. Their purpose? To call on the mayor and governor to better fund violence-wracked neighborhoods.
"Giving these young men help, sending them back to school, opportunities when they get out of jail, set up a work program, so that they can get back in school. It would be a lot better," said Clarise Evans, a certified nurse assistant.
