After a brief introduction from the second-mentioned author, which sets the scene for the story as Cabramatta and environs in Sydney's outer south-western suburbs, the first-mentioned author takes over and gives readers his life story beginning with his family fleeing the Communists in South Vietnam, moving on to his days in his twenties running his own accounting firm in western Sydney to tax frauds, court case, and jail time. He moves on to explain how he began a conscious strategy to re-create his life existentially by studying MBA in prison. The first-mentioned author concludes with an important personal message, borne out of his own personal life experiences, to readers of the journal followed by some reflection from the second-mentioned author. This article will be of interest to accounting students, accounting educators, and any young (or not so young) accounting professionals under temptation to commit fraud to make a quick dollar. Sartrean existentialism and Marxist-Stalinist ethics inform the analysis of the case by the second-mentioned author. The role of gambling addiction in the story is topical given Singapore's recent decision to open two new casinos, the first to open in the city-state since its 1965 independence.

The Catholic school in crisis over gender fluidity
admin March 18, 2018 Gender Dysphoria, Latest News, NSW, Safe Schools, Sexuality Education
by Miranda Devine

AN elite Catholic girls' school is in crisis after the headmistress linked the concept of gender fluidity with the introduction of pants and shorts into the school uniform.
At a protest yesterday afternoon, parents demanded the resignation of Santa Sabina principal Maree Herrett and threatened to pull as many as 200 girls out of the school.
Santa Sabina in Strathfield is dominated by the devout Maronite Catholic community in the part of Sydney that voted No in last year's same-sex marriage survey, so you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that "Safe Schools"-style gender theory won't fly.
But that didn't stop Herrett boasting in the media that the uniform change was about enabling "a variety of gender expression". She said: "What I think we're recognising is that there has always been a variety of ways of expressing your femininity or your masculinity."
And if students were questioning their gender, she said, the uniform would "make the journey a little bit more comfortable for them".
But it was Herrett's Twitter feed that crystallised misgivings parents had about the politicisation of the new uniform. On February 25, two days before the uniform was launched, Herrett tweeted her recommendation of a book promoting radical gender theory.

Maxime Didier, né à Orléans le  et Mort pour la France à Metz le , est un sculpteur français.

Biographie

Maxime Didier étudie l'agronomie à l'école nationale d'agriculture de Grignon et devient ingénieur agricole.

Comme sculpteur, élève de Henri Gauquié et de François-Laurent Rolard, on lui doit la statue en bronze représentant Jeanne d'Arc surplombant un puits jouxtant le nord du parc Jacques Boucher à Orléans.

Secrétaire du syndicat des agriculteurs du Loiret, membre de la Société d'agriculture, sciences, belles-lettres et arts d'Orléans, conservateur-adjoint du Musée des beaux-arts d'Orléans, il est nommé sergent dans la réserve après son service et est mobilisé en 1914 comme lieutenant au  régiment d'infanterie territorial d'Orléans au début de la Première Guerre mondiale. Capitaine (octobre 1915), il passe au  régiment d'infanterie territorial comme chef de bataillon en février 1917. Blessé et fait prisonnier le 30 mars 1918 dans la Somme, il meurt le  à l'Hôpital Saint-Clémentin de Metz.

A low unemployment rate across the United States is fantastic news. It is certainly nothing to complain about; however, for some of us with small businesses it actually makes it harder to find employees when we need to increase our workforce. There just aren't as many people looking for employment!
In September, the unemployment rate in the U.S. fell to a nearly 50-year low. That's incredible when you think about it. That takes us back to the 1960s – some of you reading this weren't even born yet! The unemployment rate fell to 3.7 percent! Earnings have had a very slight increase, making the average hourly earnings $27.35 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics as of November 2018.
One thing the low unemployment rate has done is to help the disadvantaged. Because there is a shortage of workers, those who have had a harder time finding jobs are now having a better chance of getting hired as there are less potential employees competing for the same position.
It is an interesting mix of job loss and job gain across different markets. For example, retailers dropped 20,000 jobs because more people are doing their shopping online, creating less of a need at actual retail locations. Stores just aren't as busy, so fewer cashiers are needed. This is actually unfortunate. We should view this as a good reminder to utilize our local retailers. While online shopping is undoubtedly convenient, there is still something to be said for being able to actually pick up an item and inspect its quality for yourself, instead of blindly buying online and hoping it meets your expectations.
Other markets added jobs contributing to the low unemployment rate. Professional and business services, health care, transportation and warehousing, construction, and manufacturing all added jobs, ranging from 18,000 to 54,000 positions.
At Tripod Aluminum we build beautifully screened pool enclosures, including "Florida rooms," as well as installing aluminum fences. All of our materials are made of the highest quality. That's what we are looking for in employees too – high quality. We are often hiring as business is booming due (unfortunately) to two years of back-to-back hurricanes. Or, if you are looking to have a screened room or aluminum fencing installed and live in the Melbourne, Cocoa, Merritt Island, or Palm Bay areas, then please call us. We offer free estimates and look forward to meeting with you!

Stephen Hawking's Final Brain Melting Theory About Our Universe
Stephen Hawking, one of the groundbreaking physicists and most intelligent minds left us with his last shimmering paper. The detail of his last theory on the origin of the Universe, co-authored with Thomas Hertog from KU Leuven. A great flash and boom, the universe started to inflame after a big burst, then the inflammation started to slow down and the energy started to convert into matter and radiation. And then, particles started to collide and merge with each other creating the whole universe and everything within it. It is said that during the inflammation, some bubbles of space slowed...

Saturn Is Losing Its Rings Faster Than Scientists Thought
Posted by sciteen | Jan 13, 2019 | SPACE |
Saturn is losing its rings more quickly than you can think. Saturn's rings are one of the astronomical wonders that humans have seen. And now, it is said that it won't be there forever. When the Voyager Mission went to the Gas Giant in 1980s, it found that the ring of Saturn rains on itself. It's raining 10,000 kilograms of ring rain on Saturn per second which can fill an Olympic-sized pool in half an hour. But what is the rain? The rain is the disintegrated remains of Saturn's rings. Constant collisions caused by tiny meteorites and UV ray...

THE SALE LAKE TRIBUNE NAMES GARDNER VILLAGE
A WINNER OF THE WASATCH FRONT 2015 TOP WORKPLACES AWARD
(West Jordan, UT)—November 15, 2015—Gardner Village has been awarded a 2015 Top Workplaces honor by The Salt Lake Tribune. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.
"The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it's all about fancy perks and benefits," says Doug Claffey, CEO of Workplace Dynamics, "But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proved that what's most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it's going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together." Claffey adds, "Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn't have a shot at being named a Top Workplace."
Gardner Village CEO Joe Long, who also won the leadership award among midsize companies as a part of the same survey, credits this success as a team effort. "At Gardner Village, our business depends on delivering unique experiences to our customers, and that experience depends first and foremost on our employees. Our success is the result of hiring quality people who share in our same vision for the company," says Long. Gardner Village approaches its 36th year in business with plans for continued growth, and intends to remain one of the top workplaces in Utah for years to come.
About Gardner Village
Gardner Village features 22 locally-owned and operated retail specialty shops surrounding the historic Gardner Mill, now listed on the National Historic Register. The old flour mill is home to Archibald's Restaurant and CF Home. Vintage pioneer architecture, antique fixtures, red brick paths and bridges add to the atmosphere that takes you back to a simpler time and spotlight the area's colorful history. Gardner Village is located at 1100 West 7800 South in West Jordan, Utah, and is open year 'round.
About WorkplaceDynamics, LLC
Headquartered in Exton, PA, WorkplaceDynamics spcializes in employee feedback surveys and workplace improvement. This year alone, more than two million employees in over 6,000 organizations will participate in the Top WorkplacesTM campaign—a program it conducts in partnership with more than 40 prestigious media partners across the United States. WorkplaceDynamics also provides consulting services to improve employee engagement and organizational health. WorkplaceDynamics is a founding B Corporation member, a coalition of organizations that are leading a global movement to redefine success in business by offering a positive vision of a better way to do business.

Q: Unclear changes in Excel API versions some 2 weeks ago I created an Add-in for excel, which worked! Then I had one week vacation and now, when I start it again, it tells me "The method or property NamedItemCollection.getItemOrNullObject is part of the ExcelApi 1.4 requirement set, which is not available in your version of Excel".
I have Office 365 Pro Plus, Deferred Channel and Version 1701 (Build 7766.2099) - which is (according to the table here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Version-and-build-numbers-of-update-channel-releases-ae942449-1fca-4484-898b-a933ea23def7) version from July 27, 2017.
On this page, https://dev.office.com/reference/add-ins/requirement-sets/excel-api-requirement-sets?product=excel is written, that Excel API 1.4 should be available for 1701 (but different build number...??) and that it was released on January 2017.
Most interesting is, that it worked 2 weeks ago and now it doesn't. The only difference on my computer is the installation of the latest update of Visual studio (from 8/2017). It seems to me to be quite a big mess. Can anybody help me to get oriented in it?
(Office.js is referenced from CDN using:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://appsforoffice.microsoft.com/lib/1/hosted/office.js" ></script>

)
Filip

A: Based on the build you have installed (7766.2099), ExcelApi v1.4 is not included. You would need to update to 7870.2024 or newer before it will be available.
I'm not sure why you were not seeing this error previously. The only way I could see that happening would be if your administrator rolled back your version of Excel (i.e. switched you to deferred rather than current) or you were using Excel Online.
One clarification on that table: it isn't saying that Version 1701 (Build 7870.2024) was released in January 2017. This table shows the versions by platform and it is saying that v1.4 is included in Excel for Windows Version 1701 (Build 7870.2024) or later and Excel Online as of January 2017.

A: To add to Marc's answer (which is absolutely correct re. the version numbers):
For the piece about why you weren't seeing the error previously:  this extra error check is something we introduced very recently, having found cases where the lack of this check (at the JS layer) could lead to code that executes preview APIs (and potentially causing crashes on unsupported hosts).
We try very hard to never break back-compat (rather important when you have an evergreen CDN endpoing!).  In this case, we deemed that it was OK to make this change, because the only code that our change would break is code that was already "unsafe" (i.e., missing this check, and having undefined behavior on older hosts).  The check would make the issue come to light more, but that's arguably better than having silently-swallowed errors.
In any case, my apologies for the inconvenience, and do let us know if you have further questions.


Branka Spehar, Luke Vu; Contour Shape Processing: Contrast Polarity and Perceived Aspect Ratio. Journal of Vision 2010;10(7):1199. doi: 10.1167/10.7.1199.
The visual system parses the visual scene into objects and their spatial locations by integrating local signals into global object representations. We have shown that spatial distribution of luminance polarities in an image plays an important role in the processes of perceptual unit formation (Spehar, 2000; Spehar & Clifford, 2003). For example, a pronounced degradation of perceived illusory shapes is observed in configurations with contrast polarity variations at the intersections of orthogonally oriented edges within inducing configurations, but not in configurations where contrast polarity variations did not coincide with points of highest orientation discontinuity. A similar effect of the distribution of contrast polarity reversals was demonstrated in perceptual closure: the presence of contrast polarity reversals impaired visual search for shapes with contrast polarity reversal positioned at points of high contour curvature of the bounding contour (Spehar, 2002). Here we report an analogous effect of the distribution of contrast polarity reversals on the computation of aspect ratio of centrally presented contour shapes. The perceived aspect ratios appear more vertically elongated when contrast polarity changes at points of intersection of differently oriented component lines (corners), compared to configurations with no contrast polarity variations and configurations where contrast polarity variations appear at the collinear line segments. These results suggest an important and different role of contrast polarity in combining smooth parts of object contours with those at points of high curvature. We believe that this pervasive sensitivity to the distribution of contrast polarity reversals along bounding contours is related to the processes that mediate grouping at intersections of lines of different orientation. If contrast polarity reverses at such junctions the probability that these segments will be grouped together is decreased which in turn influences the mechanisms involved in computation of shape area.

Rewriting the periodic table at high pressure
The periodic table has been a vital foundational tool for material research since it was first created 150 years ago. Now, Martin Rahm from Chalmers University of Technology presents a new article which adds an entirely new dimension to the table, offering a new set of principles for material research. The article is published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Major investment to take the 2D materials into the society
A new center for research on two-dimensional materials is formed from 2020 with support from Sweden's Innovation Agency Vinnova. "We build a strong and dynamic hub for 2D material here at Chalmers. Through strong industrial cooperation, we can ensure that our knowledge comes in handy," says Ermin Malic, who will be the director of the new center, 2D-Tech.
Prediction of cracking increases the railway's reliability
Cracking in rails and wheels is one of the largest maintenance costs for railway traffic. It is also the reason for many delays and stops that can lead to considerable costs for both train companies and track managers. But through methods developed at Chalmers, which predict cracking in rails and wheels, train traffic is now more reliable and environmentally friendly.
Window film could even out the indoor temperature using solar energy
A window film with a specially designed molecule could be capable of taking the edge off the worst midday heat and instead distributing it evenly from morning to evening. The molecule has the unique ability to capture energy from the sun's rays and release it later as heat. This is shown by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, in the scientific journal Advanced Science.
Mimicking wood's ultrastructure with 3D printing
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have succeeded in 3D printing with a wood-based ink in a way that mimics the unique 'ultrastructure' of wood.

The Other Generation: Understanding Coworkers From A Different Generation
In a recent article, published by news outlet Fusion Media, the owner of NBA basketball team the Phoenix Suns made a startling assumption about the reason why his team is performing so poorly this season. The Suns, owned by Robert Sarver, are currently 13-30 this season. Why are they so bad this season? Millennials, of course.
"My whole view of the millennial culture is that they have a tough time dealing with setbacks…I'm not sure if it's the technology or the instant gratification of being online," said Sarver. "But the other thing is, I'm not a fan of social media. The only thing people put online are good things that happen to them, or things they make up. And it creates unrealistic expectations."
This line of thinking is all too common with many people from the Gen-X or Baby Boomer generations. It's not uncommon for an older generation to think that the younger generation is doing everything the wrong way, or are too spoiled, entitled, or lazy.
But it also goes both ways. People from a younger generation view the older generation as stubborn, set in their ways, and unwilling to compromise and see new ways to accomplish goals. Eventually, millennials will also start criticizing the generation below them (Founders? Generation Z?) as outdated and inept. That's just how generations tend to think of each other.
In reality, neither group is correct. The problem isn't doing something the right way or the wrong way. It's more accurately a problem of being willing to understand where the other generation is coming from, and learning to compromise when it's more beneficial to do so.
If you're having trouble understanding how your co-workers from another generation think, check out these tips.
Don't Be Quick To Judge
When someone challenges the way we think or the way we do things, most of us will immediately get defensive and try to prove that "no, this way is the best way to do it, and you're wrong!" In reality, solving a task at work is usually not a black or white issue. Most of the time, it falls into a bit of a gray area, where there are a ton of different ways to get to a correct solution. Just like in a complex math equation. Instead of judging the other generation, and thinking they're too stubborn or too reckless, learn to be patient and keep yourself from judging to the point where you can't see another way to accomplish a goal.
There's no point in keeping all your thoughts and opinions about how something should be done bottled up inside of you. Ignoring the other party never helps. Try to communicate and work together in a civilized way. Chances are, you're both trying to do what's best for the company, you're just approaching it in different ways. If you're really having a problem communicating with an older or younger colleague, it never hurts to meet with your manager or HR person and have a discussion together!
Try To See Things Their Way
If you're having trouble understanding how or why the other generation makes decisions the way they do, simply ask them about it. Say, "I understand this is the way you want to do this, but I'm having trouble understanding why. Do you have a few minutes to go over your plan with me? I'd love to get a new/different perspective!" Your colleague should respect the fact that you're interested in seeing their side of the story. A true example of a mature and professional employee is one that can see the other side of the coin, and respect the opinions of other people.
Learning to understand others, especially those from a different generation, is sometimes a difficult thing to do, but a goal that ultimately benefits everyone.

OCM	coaadmin	2018-10-19T12:48:55-04:00
COA Oncology Care Model Support Network (OCM)
The Community Oncology Alliance (COA) has launched a major support initiative effort behind the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center's (CMMI) oncology payment and delivery reform initiative, the Oncology Care Model (OCM).
The COA OCM support network offers free tools, resources, and knowledge to practices implementing the OCM model.
Launched July 2016, the OCM is an oncology-specific payment and delivery reform model which aims to provide higher quality, more highly coordinated oncology care while achieving cost efficiencies for Medicare and beneficiaries. Close to 200 oncology practices and 16 payers across the country treating more than 150,000 Medicare beneficiaries are currently participating in the OCM.
COA is focused on helping oncology practices succeed and thrive in implementing the OCM. In addition to providing access to experts with deep knowledge of Federal and private reform efforts, COA has also organized a peer-to-peer learning network, and is hosting regular calls to provide guidance on the complex challenges practices face with the OCM. COA is also working with practices to develop and share free tools and resources to help OCM practices manage implementation issues, such as providing estimates of the total cost of patient care. This all ties in with the considerable work and resources COA has developed as part of its Oncology Medical Home, which is the foundation of the OCM.
The COA OCM support network was created at the request of oncology practices. To date, more than 60 percent of OCM practices are actively participating, including the key oncologists, administrators, and nurses responsible for it. COA is also working closely with the 17 health insurers participating in the OCM to ensure smooth payer-provider communications as the initiative is formed.
COA has also partnered with expert veterans of Federal quality and payment reform initiatives who are serving as close advisors to practices. They include Kavita Patel, MD, a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and former Director of Policy for The White House under President Obama and a senior advisor to the late Senator Edward Kennedy; Basit Chaudhry, MD, PhD, founder and CEO of Tuple Health and former medical scientist at IBM Research where, among other things, he was lead research clinician for IBM's artificial intelligence computing system Watson.
Practices interested in joining the OCM support network should email OCMSupport@COAcancer.org. It is free of charge for all OCM practices to join.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago police have issued an alert after a man tried to lure a 5-year-old girl with candy in the Portage Park neighborhood, police said.
The man with a dog approached the girl in the 4400-block of North Laporte Avenue at about 3:30 p.m. The man touched her and asked her if she wanted candy and to go with him, police said.
The girl called out for her brother and the man fled. The girl and her brother ran home and told their grandmother, who called police.
The suspect is described by police as a white man, 50-60 years old with gray hair, wearing eye glasses and a gray T-shirt.


Roy is half asleep. Roy is half asleep because he is being haunted by his dreams of killing Sara, however there is a drug gang to stop and Roy, Diggle and Oliver enter a warehouse to stop a heroin deal only to discover the gang mostly dead, one of their crew kidnapped and "guilty" written on the floor in blood. This trend continues and eventually leads to a dead body hanging in Ted Grant's gymnasium where, only a couple of hours earlier, Grant had been training Laurel. Grant protests his innocence but Oliver still has some real trust issues with him and digs into his past, with thanks to Felicity. Oliver tracks Grant to a storage locker where he finds a lot of vigilante paraphernalia and another dead body. Grant admits to Oliver that many years ago, long before the Arrow turned up, that he and his partner used to be a vigilante double act trying to keep drugs out of The Glades and away from schools. When his partner, Isaac Stanzler, beat a man to death, Grant cut him loose and gave up his secret job.
Stanzler is now back and trying to frame Grant for multiple murders, "more than Son of Sam but less than Ted Bundy" to quote Captain Lance and, after the police finally release Grant with no charge, Stanzler turns up and kidnaps Grant and Laurel. In the chase to stop them, Oliver is knocked off his motorcyle but Roy manages to buy Laurel enough time to shake Stanzler out of the car. Oliver and Diggle rescue Grant and Laurel from the burning wreck whilst Roy, being taunted by Stanzler about just being a weapon in the Arrow's arsenal, takes Stanzler down.
The help by Roy wouldn't be such a stand out moment if it hadn't been for his admission earlier in the episode to Oliver and Laurel that he killed Sara by throwing the arrows at her whilst being under the influence of Mirakuru. Diggle wants Roy to be accountable for what he has done but, spurred on by an event from his past (yes, the flashback was relevant this week) Oliver helps Roy meditate to see clearly what is dream and what is memory. What Roy sees is the murder of a police officer that he committed on Mirakuru, not the death of Sara. Whilst this news would normally be expected to please, Roy is still so stunned that he committed murder, he walks away. As Stanzler is being moved from the police station to prison another archer, a female, arrives on the scene taking him out but not before answering his question as to her identity - I'm Cupid, stupid.
I really enjoyed Guilty a lot more than I thought I would. Revealing Ted Grant's past life as a vigilante helped give him a bit more of the right feel as he had in the comics (Wildcat), and the way the reveal was composed, with a puzzle involving dead drug dealers, was possibly more entertaining than is perhaps healthy. Seeing Laurel as stronger character now due to her training with Grant was also welcome and I found I wasn't sighing about her getting kidnapped for the millionth time. Roy finally got his name! Arsenal it is, although it is going to take convincing from Oliver that he deserves such a moniker due the level of guilt he is feeling, which was another great touch by the writers. All too often in superhero/vigilante shows and films the consequences of the main characters actions are often put down to circumstance but the Arrow writing team always allow for the guilt and emotion that you would hope to see in real life.
The team is building well now, each character is becoming what I hoped they would, there are some nice nods to the comics and cartoons of yesteryear whilst the show keeps its own sense of identity, and there is a beautiful woman with a bow and arrow killing people. Happy days.

Look over there! A Nazi! Isn't he horrid!
January 19, 2018 sheikyermami	7 Comments
Shut up and keep paying taxes!
The Melbourne media, academic and political elites have recently had a little bit of a problem crop up in relation to the ongoing vibrant diversification and enrichment of that once fine city.
The problem being that no matter how hard they try to cover it up, make excuses and even commission whole fictional television series to distract from it, the fact remains that young men of South Sudanese background are victimising the native population at a distressing rate.
Naturally of course these are just teething problems in the journey towards the greater vision of a multicultural utopia without so many of those unfashionable white working class Bogans cluttering up the place. But sadly the mouth breathing denizens of the outer suburbs have been agitated by a nefarious conspiracy no doubt orchestrated by Rupert Murdoch (as he swirls his cognac in an oversize glass seated on a throne of skulls stroking a chained hyena) and by other disreputable gutter diving reporters who rudely insist on going around telling the dirty-handed proles things they don't need to know.
Not proper journalism at all, clearly.
The last few weeks have been a frenzy amongst the better educated, better bred, better informed and all around better class of Melbourne citizens to prove to the easily swayed imbeciles who live beyond Northcote that there are no African gangs, that there is no problem with African crime and that the Police are working with African community leaders to help solve this problem of African crime that isn't real so you shouldn't worry about it.
Now shut up and keep paying taxes.
Strangely enough some citizens have become sceptical of this official response. Personally, I can't imagine why.
One such group held a meeting in the South eastern suburbs this past week. Surprisingly, considering the impeccable reputation for fairness and impartiality possessed by the Australian fourth estate, media access was strictly limited with only a brief interview being granted by two of the organisers to Channel 7.
Any frequent reader of XYZ (and is there any other kind?) will have read this publication's excellent write up of what happened next. In short about half the prominent leftists in Australia both in print, on social media and online held a gigantic hissy fit.
For you see, one of the organisers of the meeting interviewed was none other than the larger than life Blair Cottrell. The foaming at the mouth and furious-finger-pointed denunciations were quite something to see. Leftists across the internet were enraged that Channel 7 had not disclosed Mr. Cottrell's previous associations and had reported on him as if he were simply a community spokesman!
Imagine that. Journalists in Australia not doing research into the extremist links of the people they cover. Wonders indeed will never cease. If these same outraged Journalists would care to get in touch with XYZ next time they print the several hundredth article referring to violent extremist Ian Rintoul as a "Refugee advocate" I'm sure we'd be happy to help provide some background.
Or just as a general rule of thumb, next time there's any political violence at all in Australia, how about doing a simple Google search of the person you're quoting with "Socialist" next to their name to find out which group of violent totalitarian nutbags you're helping to cover up for this week?
That'd be great, thanks.
While Mr. Cottrell is certainly guilty of saying silly things on Facebook four or five years ago and is open about the fact that in his youth he was incarcerated, the man has disavowedNeo-Nazism publicly, has worked extensively alongside the Sri Lankan born Danny Nalliah and was attending a meeting organised by True Blue Crew, a group that openly states that it accepts members from all ethnic backgrounds.

Meanwhile Jeff Sparrow, the increasingly bald founder of Socialist Alternative (the largest most violent and radical far-left extremist group in Australia today) teaches at Victoria University, is a host on 3RRR and has an opinion column for the Guardian Australia. Jeff has never renounced the totalitarian Marxist views of the organisation of violent thugs he helped create, and judging from his encouragement of the mob that attacked attendees and police outside the Milo event in Melbourne he holds them to this day.
The double standards are bleak.
Speaking of the Guardian, it was they who first issued a news report (rather than an opinion piece) denouncing Channel 7 for not exposing the horrific truth behind Blair Cottrell. In this piece by Melissa Davey there is only one source quoted attacking the coverage. That source was Tamar Hopkins. Ms Hopkins was referred to only as "The lead author of the Monitoring Racial Profiling report from the Australian National University".
XYZ readers would know that this is the same Tamar Hopkins [on the left in above video] who not only has spent her entire professional career filing racism lawsuits against Victoria Police to make it almost impossible for them to properly enforce the law in African communities, but has a swag of extremist connections of her own.
Ian Rintoul. Photo by David Jackmanson
In 2012 at Melbourne Trades Hall at a meeting of the previously mentioned Socialist Alternative group, Ms Hopkins gave a speech so extreme and anti-police that the Police Association was forced to cut all ties with the Trades Hall council.
In June 2013 Ms Hopkins gave another speech to Ian Rintoul's Marxist extremist "Solidarity" group at Melbourne University. That's the same Ian Rintoul who has boasted about being arrested over 60 times for his often violent and thuggish activism in the service of various radical extremist groups over the course of four decades. The same Ian Rintoul who has been mentioned hundreds of times by journalists of all persuasions without any of them ever mentioning anything about his extremism.
In 2015 Ms Hopkins gave a glowing eulogy at the wake of Ray Jackson, a man whom in his time was an activist for the Communist Party of Australia, the Association of Communist Unity and the Freedom Socialist Party. The FSP of course being the group founded and led by the ultra-extremist Debbie Brennan (otherwise known as Skeletor) who is not only the figurehead of the CARF group that started the riots outside the Melbourne Milo event but is so insanely out-there that she travelled as part of a Communist working group to Cuba in the 1980s and came away convinced that the island Stalinist regime simply wasn't extreme enough.
Skeletor.
In other words, while Melissa Davey was writing an entire article reproving Channel 7 for not mentioning that a person they were interviewing had a background of extremism, she failed to mention that the only quoted source in her article had a background of extremism.
But it's left wing extremism, so that's okay I guess.
The truth is that this current explosion has almost nothing to do with Blair Cottrell at all. The left in Victoria and in Australia as a whole has increasingly been in furious denial about African crime. I strongly suspect that in part this is because if there is a problem with our newly acquired African diaspora then the people who invited them here as well as the people who made it impossible to criticise them coming here are to blame.
So of course there is not a problem. There can't be a problem. Because if there was a problem then the left would be to blame. And since the left is always right there can't be any problem then can there?

Text of my email reply to The Hon. Mr Scott's view of Islam:
"I am aware of Islam's contribution to Australian culture. We now need to keep a watchful eye out for potential terror attacks, invariably by Muslims. People are not safe going about their business in the city. We have to put eyesore concrete bollards to prevent vehicular attacks. Publicly expressing your distaste for a religion founded by a murdering paedophile will get you a court visit. That religion can insult Jews, Christians, and anyone not of that religion with impunity. They spout lies and deceptions with impunity. Anyone who dares to object is labelled racist (that religion is NOT a race) or right wing extremist. Such "extremists" are people who love this country and want to protect us from the insidious destruction of our social fabric that religious bigotry brings about. I know of no right wing "extremist" who has beheaded innocent people in the name of extremism or run them over. 90,000 Christians slaughtered in 2016 alone? What does the body count have to get to before the western world does something about the "religion of peace"? Oh I wish for a platform where I could put my views. The truth will out eventually. By then it may be too late. Did you know that a man is facing court in the UK for quoting Sir Winston Churchill? That's how low the UK has sunk. I was born there but I could not live there now.
What kind of religion has to kill its adherents in order to prevent a mass exodus from its ranks? If a person turns away from that religion, it is a sentence of death. What kind of religion mandates rape for women of other religions and marrying off children at the age of 9? Oh, we have laws to prevent that. Rubbish. Those of that religious persuasion simply send their girls overseas where underage marriage is legal. Unless that religion is seen for what it is, utterly incompatible with Western democracy, we are doomed to come under its control. I think it was Voltaire who said that if you want to know who is control, look to see who you are not able to criticise. On that basis we are already subservient to Islam. We had a Royal commission into child abuse. Not one Muslim organisation was investigated. Yet child abuse is mandated by the Quran.
I do not expect an intelligent reply to this email. I do expect to end up on police files as a potential troublemaker and fascist."

It appears that the leftists in Australia are making the same grave error as those in Europe and America. Their 'alliance' with Islamofascists is a suicide mission. Once the Muslim hordes the left helped create reach critical mass, the leftists will be shocked at how rapidly their former allies will enslave them along with everyone else.

Through military coups, overthrow all multiculturalist (cultural Marxist) regimes in Western Europe within the year 2100 and replace them with governments supervised by a "patriotic guardian tribunal" consisting of cultural conservatives/nationalists. The doctrines of multiculturalism (cultural Marxism) and Islam will be banned as a hate-ideology. The traditional Western European model for constitutional democracy (mass-democracy) will be reformed. Areas related to "security and culture" (immigration, security, cultural identity, traditions+) will be supervised by the guardian tribunal which has the right to veto.
The rights of media companies, independent journalists and globalist companies to influence and shape politics will be considerably restricted. All media companies must reform and accept policies of affirmative action in order to ensure that at least 50% of journalists/editors – staff are cultural patriotic minded in order to create ideological balance (up from current day: 1%).
– Phase 1 (1999-2030): Cell based shock attacks, sabotage attacks etc.
– Phase 2 (2030-2070): Same as above but bigger cells/networks, armed militias
– Phase 3 (2070-2100): Contribution with the effectuation of the coup and responsibilities in relation to security and executions of category A and B traitors.
Operational goals: P1: shock attacks, Execution of category A, B and C traitors (multiculturalists/cultural Marxists/suicidal humanists, capitalist globalists). Create favourable conditions for recruitment.
Foreign policy plan/territorial claims:
See compendium – 2083
Societal goal: the Japanese, South Korean model (a monocultural but highly developed and progressive society), the model they once adopted from Europe.
Long term political goals – after the expulsion of Islam: create the "European Federation" (a decentralised EU with strong emphasis on national sovereignty, a new cultural conservative/nationalist (anti-Marxist) hegemony consisting of Russia, a liberated Europe and a liberated US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Org. structure/leadership: de-centralised leadership structure – open source network, instead of a typical hierarchical structure. Leadership and responsibility is distributed through an open source network of self governing cells based on pre-defined principles. Each cell is organised by a self appointed voluntary cell commander (Justiciar Knight Commander) who commands up to 2 Justiciar Knight Operatives. Each cell is independent and autonomous and is not allowed to have direct contact with the founding members or other cell commanders/cell operatives.
Org. marketing/recruitment: org. recruitment strategy: non-military "supporters/sympathisers" will distribute/develop the compendium: 2083 – A European Declaration of Independence or equivalent or use alternative methods. Censored or non-censored versions may be distributed.
Org. ranks: There were 9 founding members from 8 different countries, names are kept confidential. Operative ranks:
– Justiciar Knight Commander: commander of a cell network
– Justiciar Knight Operative: operative of the cell under the authority of the commander
– Overseer: civilian rank
Future ranks:
– Overseer (Master for national leader, Grand Master for pan-European leader) – future civilian leader(s) in phase 1/2/3
– National Grand Master Knight Commander: future non-military leader in phase 2/3
– Pan-European Grand Master Knight Commander: future pan-European military leader in phase 2/3
Requirements: must be a Christian, Christian agnostic or a Christian atheist. Even though the PCCTS, Knights Templar are an Indigenous Rights Organisation we do not have any racial requirements in order for an individual to become a Justiciar Knight.
Org. presence: Primarily Western Europe, limited presence in the US and Eastern Europe. This may change in the future but will be limited to European territories/countries (US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa included).
Mohammed Zuqzdiq says:
"That's the same Ian Rintoul who has boasted about being arrested over 60 times for his often violent and thuggish activism in the service of various radical extremist groups over the course of four decades."
This is something I've never heard of.
These facts should be widely broadcast – because to shows what a shallow buffoon he really is. Was he smart enough to drop socialism/communism – or is he secretly hanging on to that as well?
Mr Rimtool is often on the TV acting as a pious Mother Teresa stand-in for illegal economic invaders. He's probably secretly hoping for an Australia Day honours nomination. Of course he won't personally divert his any of his money to supporting any of them in a realistic way . His tactic is to badger everyone to get then to spend theirs on his current cause.

Blog - FinTech - FinTech News - Varo Bank Raises $510 Million in Oversubscribed Funding Round
Varo Bank Raises $510 Million in Oversubscribed Funding Round
FinTech's "megaround mania" continues as Varo Bank has just announced an oversubscribed $510 million funding round. The Series E was led by new investor Lone Pine Capital while Declaration Partners, Eldridge, Marshall Wace, Berkshire Partners / Stockbridge, and others also participated. This comes after the bank raised a $241 million Series D in June 2020 followed by a $63 million corporate round in February 2021.
Varo's latest funding comes just over one year after the company was awarded a national bank charter, making them the first all-digital bank to do so. Since then, the company has continued to grow its core offerings while also introducing new features and products. For example, this past spring, Varo introduced their Varo Believe program that helps customers build credit while avoiding interest charges or missed payments. Elsewhere, the bank has also brought a payroll advance feature, cashback rewards programs, and more to its lineup, all within the past year.
Notably, Varo has also seen significant growth both in its number of users and employees. According to the company, customers now have more than four million open accounts — up from the three million reported in February. Meanwhile, the bank's staff has doubled over the past year and the company has opened a third hub in Charlotte, North Carolina (joining other offices in San Fransisco, California and Draper, Utah).
Speaking to what the new funding means for the company, Varo Bank founder and CEO Colin Walsh said in a statement, "The time is now to bring the best of FinTech to the regulated financial system and build an entirely new kind of bank: one where consumers no longer have to choose between a sophisticated digital experience and a trustworthy banking partner. This funding accelerates our path to achieving a profitable, transformative, and sustainable business designed to advance financial inclusion for millions of consumers."
Meanwhile, David Craver of Lone Pine Capital said of the firm's investment, "We are thrilled to support Varo's vision of the future of banking—one that is built on trust and innovation—and scales to millions of consumers. What the Varo team has been able to achieve in such a short time in the market is truly remarkable. This is a group of trailblazers who are well on their way to building one of America's next generation of iconic companies."
With neobanks proving to be an attractive investment in recent months, it only makes sense that Varo would see such interest in its Series E. Of course, Varo has a distinct advantage over its FinTech brethren now that it's a nationally license bank of its own, meaning that it doesn't need to worry about partnering with existing banks as most startup banking apps do. Thus, with the wind in its sails and more money in its coffers, it's safe to assume that Varo Bank will continue to grow into a FinTech giant.

A Decade of Telling All Your Friends: Taking Back Sunday Reunites at Terminal 5
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2012 |
Posted by: Jason Todd
Waiting in the pit for the main show to begin, I noticed a handful of excited girls with large black 'X's on their hands and asked if they were even alive when Tell All Your Friends came out. "We have older brothers," they explained. This was a crowd that cheered more enthusiastically for "Is Long Island in the house?" than "Manhattan" or "Brooklyn," which if you've been to a Bowery Presents show in the past three years, is kind of weird. But it was that kind of night.
So for a brief, anachronistic couple of hours in the rafters of Terminal 5, several hundred people were transported back a decade. A band called Bayside opened for a band called Taking Back Sunday, two names I personally haven't heard uttered in the same breath at a rock concert in nearly seven years. Sure, jumping up and down and scream-singing every lyric for forty minutes aren't new modes of operation at a musical event, but for many of the kids-now-adults in attendance, these were the songs that provided one of the original roadmaps.
Tell All Your Friends was the first and only album with John Nolan and Adam Lazzara in the band's long and tumultuous history. The magic of these two spirited frontmen, with their angsty swagger playing off one another, hasn't happened in any capacity since the album was accidentally made in 2002 (they never intended to record an album). The band's original lineup has coagulated again for a self-titled album, but it's a more somber look at life for big kids. These dudes have families now. But they can still lay it on like they're 20.
The songs that Lazzara penned without Nolan function, and the first half of the evening was peppered with these echoes of the band's various iterations - favorites like "Liar" and "A Decade Under The Influence," as well as the new songs they penned together, like "El Paso," lending a more mature tone, a return to bashful authenticity. It's where they're at these days.
Then after a pause, they played Tell All Your Friends from front to back. It's what everyone came to see, regardless of age. Those familiar opening cries rang out via their original creators. Lyrics about love and loss and guns and triggers, tossed back and forth by two voices who've barely interacted since they were written. Capturing the feeling of driving around your hometown, caught up in the miniature world of teenage angst in the early aughts. It's a very specific kind of angst. And whether or not everyone present had actually been a teenager in the early aughts seemed irrelevant.


A Bonanno legal eagle who carried out hits for the mob has turned turtle – and is now the first lawyer in witness protection, The Post has learned.
Thomas Lee, 38, who has represented a laundry list of hoods from four of the city's five crime families, vanished along with his wife and two children from his home in exclusive Pelham, Westchester County, and from his Bronx law office about a week ago.
Sources say Lee agreed to cooperate with Brooklyn federal prosecutors – and start a new life in witness protection – rather than face a 60-year prison term for allegedly crossing over to the mob.
The stocky barrister's stunning move came after hearing a mountain of secretly taped conversations of him carrying coded messages about killings and other violence from Joseph Massino, jailed godfather of the Bonanno crime family, to Vincent "Vinny Gorgeous" Basciano, the family underboss.
Massino had turned and was wearing a recording device.
Because he is a lawyer, Lee will not have to share knowledge of crimes he obtained during "legitimate" conversations with clients.
But he will have to spill his guts about any wrongdoing he was personally involved in and finger anyone involved with him.
"If he was carrying messages among other gangsters or was involved in any crimes with anyone else, no matter whether they were organized-crime related or not, he has to tell everything and about everyone who was involved," a source said.
Lee's client list has included Albert "Lump Lump" Baronne, convicted in the 2003 killing of a mob patron at Rao's restaurant in East Harlem; Nardino Colotti, a Bronx restaurateur believed to be the link between Gambino and Albanian mobs; and Michael Ragusa, a Genovese soldier accused in the racketeering case that brought down Vincent "Chin" Gigante.
Lee was arrested two months ago on charges he used his jailhouse visits to Massino to carry messages to obtain permission to kill mobsters and associates, their children and two cooperating witnesses.
A U.S Marshals Service spokesman declined comment.
But mob observers, from veteran prosecutors to Mafia lawyers, told The Post they had never heard of a similar defection.
"This is quite extraordinary," said retired NYPD Detective Sgt. Joseph Coffey, a legendary mob hunter who twice locked up John Gotti and once slapped cuffs on Gotti's predecessor, Paul "Big Paul" Castellano.

Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV
ROBBINS GELLER RUDMAN & DOWD LLP FILES CLASS
ACTION SUIT AGAINST ANHEUSER-BUSCH INBEV SA/NV
New York – June 21, 2019 – Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP (http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/anheuser-busch/) today announced that a class action has been commenced by an institutional investor on behalf of purchasers of Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE: BUD) American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") during the period between March 1, 2018 and October 24, 2018 (the "Class Period"). This action was filed in the Southern District of New York and is captioned City of Sterling Heights General Employees' Retirement System v. Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV, et al., No. 19-cv-5854.
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Anheuser-Busch ADSs during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from today. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Samuel H. Rudman or David A. Rosenfeld of Robbins Geller at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at djr@rgrdlaw.com. You can view a copy of the complaint as filed at http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/anheuser-busch/.
The complaint charges Anheuser-Busch and certain of its officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Anheuser-Busch is engaged in the production, distribution, and sale of beer, alcoholic beverages, and soft drinks worldwide.
The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose adverse information regarding Anheuser-Busch's business, operations and prospects. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose, among other things, that cost-cutting measures the Company had put in place had run their course; the devaluation of key emerging market currencies and input cost inflation was having a material adverse effect on the Company's margins, EBITDA and profitability; Anheuser-Busch had been experiencing less than expected growth and profits in certain key markets; Anheuser-Busch was not going to be able to maintain its then current dividend and still meet its deleveraging targets; and Anheuser-Busch was at risk of having its credit ratings downgraded. As a result of this information being withheld from the market, the price of Anheuser-Busch ADSs was artificially inflated to as high as $117 per ADS during the Class Period.
Then on October 25, 2018, the Company reported its financial results for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, announcing that it had cut its dividend by 50% to "accelerate deleveraging toward our optimal capital structure of around 2x net debt to EBITDA ratio." On this news, the price of Anheuser-Busch ADSs declined approximately 9.5%, from $82.25 per ADS to $74.54 per ADS.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Anheuser-Busch ADSs during the Class Period (the "Class"). The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud.
Robbins Geller is a national law firm representing investors in securities litigation. With 200 lawyers in 10 offices, Robbins Geller has obtained many of the largest securities class action recoveries in history. For five consecutive years, ISS Securities Class Action Services has ranked the Firm in its annual SCAS Top 50 Report as one of the top law firms in both the amount recovered for shareholders and the total number of class action settlements. Robbins Geller attorneys have helped shape the securities laws and recovered tens of billions of dollars on behalf of aggrieved victims. Beyond securing financial recoveries for defrauded investors, Robbins Geller also advocates for corporate governance reforms, helping to improve the financial markets for investors worldwide.

This course is designed to be an introductory overview of the interpretation of laboratory values and vital sign measurements in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The aim is to provide neonatal therapists with a framework for clinical decision-making so that they can recognize imbalances that may require modifications in the plan of care, or discussion with the nurse or neonatologist before further treatment.This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.
checkmarkThe participant will be able to identify at least two normal and at least two abnormal values for neonatal vital signs.
checkmarkThe participant will be able to outline an appropriate therapeutic plan of action based on neonatal vital signs and laboratory measurements.
Very useful information, I would recommend it to anyone who works with infants.
The instructor took a very complex topic and made it easy to understand. I loved the cases which reinforced learning of the material.
There are so many details to know about each lab value. Explanations overlap. It would be nice to have a chart or visual to better understand the interplay of all of these lab values.
At some point I think working with pediatric patients would be a nice change so it was good information to learn about.
So much great information and practical applications at every turn. Really a fantastic course!

2018 began with no small amount of heartbreak for the McKay family. In December Luke's dad, Bob, was diagnosed with cancer and one short month later he was gone.
Losing a man who loved his family well and never missed one thing his grand kids did no matter what state they were currently living in deserves its own reflection. For now, let it be enough that his absence was deeply felt as Sawyer graduated college in May with Sam and our nephew, Matthew, graduating high school soon afterwards. To give us all something to look forward to during this season of mourning and to celebrate the boys' accomplishments we planned an epic vacation to Arizona via California I like to describe as "Innocents Out West" subtitled "If Home Alone and the Griswolds had a Baby".
The trip also deserves its own chronicle however during a Hummer tour of the Sedona red rocks our guide, Phil, pointed out an interesting cactus he called a Century plant. The base looked like a gigantic aloe with a brightly-colored flower towering 20+ feet into the air. Phil explained we were seeing a rare occurrence since it only bloomed once in a lifetime – generally when 25-30 years old. After blooming, it would die and go to seed.
I was mesmerized by this plant, took its picture, looked it up on the internet. It felt significant to be witnessing this singular event, this explosion of color knowing it would also bring about the dying process. The imagery of a once-in-a-lifetime bloom spoke to me and if only applying it to desert vegetation one could almost consider it romantic.
When images capture my imagination I often work them around in my mind to see how they may translate to spiritual metaphor. The longer I contemplated this one all thoughts of romance died. Why? There are far too many believers with a once-in-a-lifetime sense of purpose perfectly content to have experienced a singular period of obedience and go to seed knowing the brightest days are those lived sometime prior to now.
Who among us has ever experienced a season of absolute certainty we were operating within God's call on our lives, of serving others before ourselves, of incredible wonder when God was moving in our midst only to have it wither and die? How many believe we were only allowed one "bloom" but we blew it so there's nothing left to do now but go through the motions until we are called home?
There's a NeedtoBreathe song called "Wasteland" with the lyric, "There was a greatness I felt for a while and somehow it changed." Perhaps this resonates as it did with me. What brings about this sudden shift or sometimes slow departure from assurance and harmony with God's intent for our existence? Find a few clues by thinking through scripture of those we know were dwelling in obedience and then suddenly… weren't. Adam and Eve's fall. Noah's drunkenness. Abraham's lapse of faith. Elijah's exhaustion. David's adultery. Peter's denial. Mark's desertion. One thing we know from these examples – when things change it's because we change. God didn't nor will He. Ever. (James 1:17) He will not reinterpret his commands to fit a new situation or generation. He will not invoke goodness over our badness. He will not stomach our pride. He will not let a soul be at peace when it's not seeking Him fully. He will not give rest from Him, only in Him.
These men and women are all known for their failures however I would rather focus on their restorations. The mistakes were not once in a lifetime but neither were their successes. The fall was not the end of the story for any one of them and believer – it's not ours either. Your heart may be dry as a bone and flowers long faded but as long as we draw breath there is always opportunity to bloom again and time for a comeback.
First, I am sorry for your family's loss. I will be praying for you all as you continue to adjust and grieve.
Second, Sawyer finished college?! Where does time go? Congratulations to him.
And, lastly, thank you for this. It makes me think on how we must be on our guard, especially following a time of seeing God work in amazing ways. Looking forward to what follows.
Spot on, as always my friend.
We have a bunch of those Century plants around here. People like to use them on each side of the driveway. Because 25 or 30 years with that shrub is a long time to most people. And now that this year is our 30th anniversary, we've been seeing a bunch of them shoot up to the sky to bloom and then die. So bizarre. Yet another one of God's amazing creations. I love the spiritual analogy you pointed out.

Q: Clear interval timer in seconds, a real beginner in Jquery Having some issues trying to clear interval in my code. I just need to stop it as soon as it reaches 0. I've tried setting it inside a function, also, by declaring clearInterval as a variable, but I'm feeling more confused every time as I'm not seeing any errors when console logging. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance. Here is what I'm doing:
var timer = 10;
$("#timer").html("Timer");

function timerStart() {
    timer--;
    $("#timer").html(timer);
}

var intervalId = setInterval(timerStart, 1000);

if(timerStart === 0) {
    clearInterval(intervalId);
}

A: You're pretty close!
I made a few changes:

*

*Moved the variable declarations together

*Instead of manually setting the .html() for the initial value, just call timerStart(). Then you can decrement it afterwards.

*Do the timer check right inside the timerStart() method.

    var timer = 10;
    var intervalId = null;

    function timerStart() {
      $("#timer").html(timer);
      if (timer === 0) {
          clearInterval(intervalId);
      }
      timer--;
    }

    timerStart();
    intervalId = setInterval(timerStart, 1000);

A: Try:
    var timer = 10;

    $("#timer").html("Timer");

    var intervalId = setInterval(timerStart, 1000);

    function timerStart() {
      timer--;
      $("#timer").html(timer);
      if(timer == 0) clearInterval(intervalId);
    }


I absolutely fell in love with Emma and Jake from the start. Emma is relatable to anyone who has gotten over a rough part of life and is determined to keep the rest of their life on track, no matter what. Jake wasn't as relatable but he's hotter than Louisiana in August. Even if he's got a stubborn streak a mile wide that sometimes makes you want to shake him. This is a great story of how they grow individually and how they fight a war within themselves. Each as a plan for their future – but what does life have in store instead?

Being a firefighter was all Adam wanted to do. Being in the FDNY, he was living the single life to the limit, lots of fun and no strings.
Rico has got his dream as far as business is concerned. He has his own place with his friend and is happy, or so it seems. What he is actually doing is hiding who he really is for the sake of his ambitious father.
When the two meet after a fire, sparks really begin to fly but a relationship is the one thing that neither man bargained for, even if they both say it's something they aren't looking for.
