In August 2016, I was participating in my approximate 30th Zen meditation retreat. On the most basic level, the "simple" (i.e., incredibly challenging) directions of the particular retreats I attend is to be present to your breathe and bodily physical sensations. When thoughts arise, as they do without abandon, the practice is to bring your attention back to the body. Over the years, each retreat has varied in terms of the emotions, issues, challenges, delights, and physical experiences that occur. In this particular retreat, I was "gifted" with a new physical sensation – a bona fide, menopausal hot flash! Now when I have hot flashes off of a meditation cushion, my response is fairly predictable: I start waving my hands like a madwoman to create a fan, pull my hair off my neck, look around for anyone present in which to lock eyes in order to give that demonic look, and wait for the sympathetic response. But, in a meditation retreat, when one of the cardinal rules is to try to stay as still as possible, avoid eye contact, and the only thing to look at is the white wall in front of you, these responses are not possible. I was, however, able to go off on a tirade of internal thoughts that went something like this: "Seriously! Now? WTF? I can't move for at least 20 more minutes! really?" and so on. After a minute or so of indulgence, I remembered what I was supposed to be doing while on the cushion which was to bring my attention back to the physical sensations in and around me.
So, I stopped the tirade of negative thoughts and brought my attention back to my breath and body. And, here's what I noticed: I felt sensations of heat, I felt a trickle of sweat tickle my face as it slid down my cheek, and I felt cool as a breeze that came in through a window made contact with my damp skin. The whole experience – without the inner dialogue and drama – was a surge of brief, intense physical sensations and nothing more. The story I was indulging in my head and the dramatic actions I would have taken under ordinary circumstances were making it into this big, awful thing. When I refrained from this typical reaction, I was left with a bunch of temporary sensations and nothing more.
I welcomed this paradigm shift regarding menopause with glee. And if there was a defining moment when Embracing The Middle was born, it was that one. I decided at the moment to try to make every hot flash akin to a meditation bell which reminds to be present to my sensations and the moment – a MentalPause. In honesty, I only remember or choose to do this maybe 20% of the time I experience a hot flash. But, when I do, it becomes a gift of momentary presence. Try it sometime. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Q: XML Document Parsing in Java I need to parse an XML document in java for a web service I'm making, and save the contents of it.
I need to save the name of the tags, if the tag has attributes save the attributes, and then save the data within those tags. These three items will be inserted into a database table with the three columns tags, attributes, and data.
I'm using the following java libraries:
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
org.w3c.dom.Document, org.w3c.dom.NodeList
org.xml.sax.InputSource.

Any help would be much appreciated.

A: DISCLAIMER: I don't want to plagiarize so I didn't include code but included links to other tutorials that are VERY helpful to this topic.
First, you should read w3c dom's java API because it tells you a lot of useful functions that are very related to your question.
Second, this website contains a useful tutorial that's easy to understand and it contains the necessary information for you to get the attributes of tags.
Third, this website gives you info on how to get tagName when you are looping through elements.
Fourth, you should always read related API, google, and then post a question if you are have no clue after a LONG period of time.
Lastly, you should post a difference question or research on database FIRST before asking that question here. This question should only be about XML Document Parsing in Java.
We are not supposed to help you do anything so the API is the best help for you (and google).

I recently connected with the lovely Ashley Hall, an interior designer and owner of Equestrienne Decor, an online destination offering a collection of equestrian-inspired home decor only found in "charming boutiques, barns, and attics" as well as interior design services where her equestrian style pours into the life of the home she's designing. Her ideology behind the Equestrienne Decor brand stems from her younger years growing up on Maryland's Eastern shore, surrounded by her horses, travels, and interior design. Ashley masterfully combines her love of equestrian elements and decor, transforming the ordinary into a lifestyle lived with just the right amount of equestrian elegance.
In listening to Ashley's needs, I learned that she was wanting updated imagery of her products (you must check out her Equine Candles and "Eco Bits" reversible throw!), as well the desire to infuse more of her "real life" to her instagram followers.
In asking a few preliminary questions about her brand as well as learning of her color palette, I arranged our lifestyle shoot to cater to both website and instagram, a great way to marry her two needs into one shoot. We shot in her home, a beautiful space filled with family photos, amazing natural light, and of course her own dose of equestrian style! I just love all of the effortless touches each one of her products gives to a space. Check out some highlights from our shoot below and be sure to give her a follow on Instagram, you're in for a real treat!
There were so many nooks in her home that were perfect for her product shots. We effortlessly combined our ideas and styled this hutch to perfection!
A few flat-lays to give a different perspective…I can't get enough of her Society Wit nail polish!
You can find the above items under her JEWELRY & POLISHES section.
A little throw pillow to go with your throw!
And we couldn't forget Ashley's adorable side kick "Ellie". Who says it's a horse's life?

natura futura designs ecuador house with glass-less windows and baked bricks
(JAG studio)
Natura futura has built a house with baked bricks and glass-less windows in villamil, ecuador. Capturing the essence of the area, which was once a port for fishermen and has been declared by UNESCO as the second best climate in the world, the architects have incorporated traditional elements in the design of the residence such as shutters instead of glass on the windows, which allow for ventilation and shadow, and bricks that provide both privacy and permeability.
A system of teak wood pillars supports the two story residence, which the architectshave chosen to develop on a horizontal plane. The permeable ground floor blends with the outside garden and hosts day-to-day activities along with a social area, finished with hammocks, that opens towards the interior. private spaces occupy the upper level, which includes three bedrooms and a kitchen/living area. Micro-climates are generated through the materials in use, while the design merges traditional principles of the tropics with new strategies to reach to a sustainable result.
Name: stilts house
Architect: natura futura arquitectura
Location: general villamil, guayas province, ecuador
Total area: 160 m2
Collaborators: guillermo morales, nathaly gaona, ramón vivanco

Мен () — река в центре Франции, (Земли Луары), протяжённость 11,5 км. Приток Луары, берёт начало в месте слияния рек Майен и Сарта на севере возде города Анже, пересекает департамент Мен и Луара в районе долины Луары. Впадает в Луару возле коммуны Бушмен, к юго-западу от Анже. Площадь водосбора 22 314 км².

География
У реки нет истока, она образуется в результате слияния рек Сарта и Майен и связывает реку Луара и три водораздела — Луар, Сарта и Майен. Протекает по департаменту Мен-и-Луар и впадает в Луару. В 10 км к северу от Анже извилистый Луар с востока присоединяется к реке Сарта, текущей на юг. Примерно через 4 км вниз по течению Сарта разветвляется и одним рукавом соединяется с рекой Майен, текущей на юго-восток. Две реки окончательно соединяются в нижней точке острова Сен-Обен примерно через 3,8 км от разветвления, образуя реку Мен, которая пересекает Анже в юго-западном направлении у подножия Анжерского замка и присоединяется к текущей на запад Луаре ниже коммуны Бушмен примерно через 8 км.

Лодочники Луары называли тройной водоток «тремя реками».

В бассейне реки находятся месторождения мела и туфа.

Гидрология
Мен — река умеренно полноводная, в основном благодаря притокам — Майен и Сарта. Уровень осадков составляет 190 миллиметров в год, что ниже, чем среднее значение для рек Франции, но намного выше, чем в бассейне Луары (139 мм).

Для реки характерны сезонные колебания: зимой среднемесячный расход составляет от 187 до 278 м³/с. Максимум наблюдается в январе (271) и феврале (278). Начиная с марта поток постепенно уменьшается, падение продолжается всю весну. Самый низкий уровень воды в реке наблюдается летом, с июля по сентябрь включительно, что приводит к падению среднемесячного стока до 35,4 м³/с в августе, 46,7 м³/с в июле-июне, 39 м³/с в сентябре. Месячные значения являются средними, сезонные колебания могут быть более выраженными или ослабленными в тот или иной год. В засушливый пятилетний период сток воды в реке может упасть до 14 м³/с в, что часто случается в реках бассейна Луары.

 Наводнения
Наводнения могут быть очень значительными. Расход воды может составлять от 810 до 1600 м³/с. Максимальный дневной сток, зарегистрированный в Анже во время самого сильного наводнения в январе 1995 года, составил 1890 м³/с на 29.01.1995 года.

 Гидрологические характеристики (с 1969 по 2011 гг.)
 Площадь водосборного бассейна — 22 141 км²
 Среднее количество осадков (мм) — 181
 Расход (м³/с) — 127,0/в год
 Средняя скорость течения (л/с/км²) — 5,7

 Притоки
Притоками Мен являются:
 Сарта — 314 км.
 Майен — 203 км.
 Брионо — 27,5 км, поверхность водораздела 116 км², впадает в пруд Сен-Николя до слияния с Мен.
 Буле — 6 км.
 Ручей M4205000 — 6 км.
 Ручей M4204200 — 4 км.

 Мосты
Берега реки Мен соединяют одиннадцать мостов, включая железнодорожные и пешеходные, три из которых пересекают реку в Бушмене, восемь находятся в Анже.

Экология
В департаменте Мен-и-Луара за состояние реки отвечает департамент, он является владельцем водных ресурсов и управляет Общественным речным доменом (DPF), состоящим из рек Майенн, Сарта, Луар, Удон и Мен. Департамент штата Мен-и-Луара в течение года осуществляет техническое обслуживание и ремонт рек и их окрестностей, а также сопутствующего оборудования (плотин, шлюзов и т. д.).

Туризм
Река является местом туристических пешеходных, велосипедных и лодочных прогулок, а также посещения музеев, виноградников, старинных замков на её берегах и т. д..

 Река в искусстве
В галерее Тейт находится картина британского художника Джозефа Уильяма Тернера «Река Мен, Анже», 1826 год. Вид с правого берега реки Мен по направлению вниз по течению вдоль руин моста Пон-де-Трей

Typically they are responsible for modern concerns such as membership, insurance, and the like, but are subordinate to the BOD and Corpora for all matters which pertain to the internal structure and re-enactment.

How Can Nasal Obstruction Cause Post-Nasal Drainage?
Before talking about the nose, consider the way some home humidifiers work. There is a sponge, water supply, and airflow. Humidification occurs by having a fan blow air though the sponge that is soaked by a constant water supply. As the air passes through the wet sponge, evaporation occurs resulting in air humidification.
Well, the same thing occurs inside the nose. In a normal nose, about one liter of moisture is produced by the nasal mucosa every day (water supply). This nasal moisture production is what allows the air to be humidified as a person breathes (the fan) through the nose.
However, when the nose is obstructed preventing a steady airflow, there is a corresponding reduction in evaporation allowing for more moisture to be present inside the nose. With increased moisture, it may lead to the perception of increased post-nasal drainage.
So, how can post-nasal drainage be corrected in this situation?
Well, one can try to decrease nasal moisture production using medications like decongestants, anti-histamines, and/or nasal sprays. Or, one can try to alleviate the nasal obstruction to increase nasal airflow leading to increased evaporation thereby reducing the amount "drainage" (which actually is normal "water supply").
Alleviating nasal obstruction can also occur with decongestant, allergy, and nasal spray medications, but if there's not much improvement, one can consider surgical options if there are anatomic factors present.
Such intra-nasal anatomic obstructions include deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy, nasal polyps, etc.
There is a specific surgical procedure that can address each of these issues if present.
Of course, nasal obstruction does not automatically lead to post-nasal drainage. But it is only one of many other factors that may be present that can lead to this complaint.
What is one to do when eating with mouth closed, chewing slowly, is very difficult, a near impossible because we can't breathe from nostrils?

Carrie Underwood's 13 Storyteller Tracks
Reading Between the Lines of Her Fifth Album
by Alison Bonaguro 9/10/2015
When you hear that an album is "highly anticipated," it's one thing. But when you watch the fans' reaction to an artist revealing the track names one at a time on social media, you can really see that anticipation in action.
That was the case Wednesday night (Sept. 9), when Carrie Underwood Instagrammed videos with the titles of the 13 songs on her upcoming Storyteller album.
https://instagram.com/p/7bjiMSLqrO/?taken-by=carrieunderwood
You can learn a lot just by the names. "Chaser," I hope, is a drinking song. "Choctaw Country Affair" sounds like some kind of old-school rural love song. And "What I Never Knew I Always Wanted" has a familiar "Don't Forget to Remember Me" word play to it, and could possibly be the one song on the album that was inspired by Underwood's baby boy Isaiah.
https://instagram.com/p/7bxcJTrqiq/?taken-by=carrieunderwood
But even better than the song titles are the names of the people behind each one.
Underwood wrote with and pulled from some of the finest songwriters from inside and outside of Nashville, including some of her longtime collaborators and some that I think are new to her. The list includes Chris DeStefano, Hillary Lindsey, Lindsey's brother-in-law Derrick Adam Southerland, Zach Crowell, Ashley Gorley, Brett James, Lori McKenna, Liz Rose, Mike Elizondo, Ben Caver, Sara Haze, Blair Daly, David Hodges, Kathleen Higgins and Jamie Moore.

Keith McKinley, Osage, Letter to the Editor Published 12:04 a.m. CT Dec. 10, 2015
Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Maryland Gov.

I have become increasingly concerned about the mental health of several of the candidates for president of the United States. Given the power of the presidency, I think the time has come to insist on a psychiatric certification of each one — Republican or Democrat — as to his or her sanity. In the past we have obviously sent more than one nut cake to the oval office. Remember Richard Nixon? Given the present domestic and foreign problems this country faces, we cannot tolerate another.
Frankly, I am a lot more concerned about their mental health than I am about their physical health.

This collective has yet to share the exact lineage with the rest of us, but most believe Lemon Thai is a parent. This is a 90/10 indica dominant hybrid that offers an exceptionally smooth smoke. Soul Assassin OG's aroma is pungent and citrusy and ideal to use at nighttime.
The high is instant and leave you feeling motivated, euphoric, and brings a tingle in the body. The immediate high is slowly followed by a creeping body high that will leave most people couch locked. Relaxation, energy bursts, and happiness are also common. Use Soul Assassin to treat pain, depression, fatigue, stress, hypertension, muscle spasms, neuropathy, and PTSD.
Negatives with this strain are minimal, though dry mouth and paranoia are the most common.

Checkpoint: Resurgence Edition
by No_Style | posted in: Editorials & Features | 0
The Game Awards have improved dramatically. So much so that I am considering watching more of it next year. I caught a very brief glimpse of it and I was impressed with presentation and production; it actually resembled a normal awards show. Congratulations to Geoff Keighley.
The two announcements that were of note to me SoulCalibur VI and Bayonetta 3. I hear SCVI is channeling the original Dreamcast release which is something that tickles my fancy. As far as Namco fighters are concerned, I have a stronger affinity towards this sword swinging fighter than the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Bayonetta 3 is coming out exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. It's truly amazing to see Nintendo go out and just grab this former multiplatform character action game and treat it like one of their own.
I will undoubtedly pick up the third installment but what about the upcoming Switch re-releases? I very much enjoy the idea of having the entire trilogy on one platform – especially if they all run at a near faultless 60 FPS. If I end up picking up Bayonetta 1+2 again, this would be the third copy of Bayonetta 1 that I own and the second copy of 2. Who am I kidding? If Bayonetta 2 ends up being a superior version of the Wii U exclusive, I think I'll just pull the trigger and pick both up.
Capcom is on the upswing with a handful of announcements that's slowly restoring my faith in the company. They're making Mega Man 11 and it doesn't look like a pure nostalgia grab like the 9 and 10. It looks a bit weird at first glance but I am warming up to the chosen art style. They're also re-releasing all the Mega Man X titles on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch. I love the idea of owning all the X games on the Switch. If it's a quality port, I might just pick it up there.
The same can be said for the 30th Anniversary Collection of Street Fighter which includes arcade ports of 12 Street Fighter games excluding IV and V. I understand not including Street Fighter V but what about IV? I would even pay closer to $79.99 for a version with that game included.
And finally, Street Fighter V actually piqued my interest this past Sunday with the reveal of the third season's cinematic opener. Sakura, Blanka, Cody, and Sagat make their return and Capcom looks to be injecting some serious effort into the single player portion of the game. I don't know if I would go as far as to buy this game again but I'm happy to see Capcom still trying with it.
I am still marching towards full completion of Super Mario Odyssey. By and large, I am enjoying the hell out of Super Mario Odyssey; there's a lot to love but I am losing steam collecting Moons. Huge swathes of the moons feel like tedious collectibles like feathers in Assassin's Creed. But for every frivoulous Moon, there's a charming or clever one that makes it worthwhile. I think I'm ready to write up my review of it.
I started Uncharted: The Lost Legacy last week and it's a bit of an eye opener. Going from playing Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to playing Uncharted highlights some glaring communication issues with Naughty Dog's otherwise excellent game. Uncharted (and games in general) speak their own languages and despite years of playing Uncharted, I still mess up and drop to my death on occasion. My girlfriend asked: "How do you know where to go?" and I had to explain the subtle cues and other signposts that a hyper detailed game like Uncharted uses to her. It takes time to learn and adjust to the way games like this communicate but once you do, games like this become a cake walk.

Game of the Year 2016 Day 2 of 3
I didn't play many disappointments this year but there were a couple of big surprises that elevated 2016 to one of the best years in recent memory. If you told me in 2015 that a new Doom game would brilliant, Street Fighter V was a bit of a dumpster fire and I would spend a lot of time playing a game reminiscent of Team Fortress 2, I would have called you mad.
Most Disappointing Game of 2016
Winner: Street Fighter V
I had grand plans for Street Fighter V. I was going train on a regular basis and actually compete in ranked matches. I was going to focus on a single character and "master" it. I was going to take Street Fighter seriously like I never did before. But none of that came to pass because I spent more time waiting for matches than actually playing. And even if I managed to get into a match, it was often hitchy and difficult to play.
My issues with Street Fighter V aren't with the fundamental mechanics or lack of single player content – those didn't help its case though. My issues stemmed from the game's poor online play in 2016. I don't care if I win or lose but I want to be able to learn from each experience. Losing or winning in a lag filled match accomplishes nothing.
Thankfully, I bought a physical copy and was able to sell it.
Runner-up: Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright
Most Surprising Game of 2016
Winner: Doom
It's been a long time since an id Software game was worth looking at let alone wow me. RAGE certainly didn't live up to expectations; I bought a copy for cheap and didn't even bother to play it beyond an hour. Doom is the anti-RAGE. RAGE was slow and plodding and Doom was in my face and demanded my attention. I had heard rumblings of positivity from hardcore id Software fans but they were the same folks who proclaimed RAGE was a good game.
Doom blindsided me with its relentless action and gear shifter breaking calm of exploration.

Street Fighter V PS4 Review
by No_Style | posted in: Reviews | 0
Capcom's Proposal to Consumers:
You give us $69.99 and we'll give you a quality barebones fighting game featuring a selection of your favorite characters plus some new ones. You will be able to fight online against other players powered by the best netcode this series has ever seen.
We know the single player content is lacking but we promise to give you a cinematic story experience in June. We're also going to expand beyond the basic online multiplayer options with lobbies.
Don't forget, we're also rolling out new characters which you can earn for free or pay us for. Check out our season pass, it's only $29.99.
I don't blame anyone for not wanting to shell out money for Street Fighter V. There's a lot of quality in Street Fighter V but at some point, quantity has to show up as well. I wasn't expecting a story mode akin to Mortal Kombat 9 and X but I expected a barebones arcade mode at the very least. They could have included the same single player arcade mode employed in Street Fighter II and most people wouldn't have batted an eye. It's what we've come to expect from the series but when they couldn't even match that and instead offered a tedious survival mode and a paltry story mode consisting of a handful of easy one off matches, they must have known it would have garnered criticism.
At its core though, there's a fun and engaging fighting game. I love playing it and when the online matchmaking finds a quality opponent, I have a blast and want to keep playing. The problem is that recently (just over a month after the game's release), I'm spending more time looking for quality matches than I am participating in them. I've been told that I should be looking for matches during peak times and not at 10 or 11 at night which is fair but at the same time, this is the first game that I had to make these kinds of concessions for. I didn't have these kinds of issues in early March.
So I've been playing the survival mode and dabbling in the training mode whenever I wanted some guaranteed quality time with Street Fighter V. It's such a satisfying game to play. I love how easy it is to execute moves and the changes they made to characters like Charlie gave those characters new life. A number of characters received command input changes for their classic moves. For example, Chun Li's Lightning Kick was changed from mashing kick to quarter circle forward (QCF) and kick. I appreciated those changes but I also wished they just made everything a quarter circle motion at this point — but I'm just not a fan of charge moves so that's just my own bias.
The words "lovingly crafted" don't immediately come to mind when I look at the visuals Street Fighter V. It may remind some people of Street Fighter IV but if they actually looked at Street Fighter IV today and not in their mind's eye, Capcom's latest looks markedly superior in both style and technical quality.
The game makes a great first impression. The characters look amazing and move with fluidity that remind me of the shift to Street Fighter III. After staring at the game for a few hours, I started to notice the ugly dithered shadow work and wonky clipping of hair, belts and other loose clothing. As for the backgrounds? The less I speak about those hideous assets the better. They're fun and feature nice touches here and there but it's clear that they had to make sacrifices in order to keep the game running at 60 FPS.
I wouldn't recommend Street Fighter V to many people. People dreaming of robust Mortal Kombat length single player campaigns or any significant single player offering will be left disappointed. But if you're a fan of the competitive aspect of Street Fighter — playing against other players online or offline — Street Fighter V has a very basic representation of what you're seeking. The core fighting feels fantastic and if you can find players to do battle with, you're going to have a blast. I want both and thus it's been a disappointment. I have faith that Capcom will deliver the product I want. I just wish they didn't charge full price for it yet.

Checkpoint: Tax Filing 2015 Edition
I've been using TurboTax for years. I buy the standard edition and file claims for my immediate family for less than $30 per year. I tried H&R Block's free online offering last year but it couldn't even handle my simple scenario properly. For the 2015 tax year, Intuit decided to step into the free game and offer TurboTax online free as well. I was going to check it out but then I heard of SimpleTax and the huge amount of praise that it received.
SimpleTax doesn't offer the questionnaire that I've grown accustom to with TurboTax and that's both a blessing and a point of worry. It's a blessing for those who are familiar with their tax situation, have a handful of forms and receipts and just want to input them. TurboTax's interview/questionnaire served as a checklist . I had forgotten about my public transit pass and if it wasn't for the fact that I was owing money instead of getting a refund, I may have omitted it entirely. TurboTax would have "saved" me because it would have asked if that situation applied to me from the onset.
SimpleTax does have an optimization and suggestions function that made useful suggestions though. It suggested I take a look at medical expenses and I found out that I could claim my laser eye surgery. I would have likely explored that possibility with TurboTax's suggestions phase as well but it was nice to see SimpleTax have that security blanket.
The process of inputting forms and receipts in SimpleTax was enough to win me over for subsequent years. It was easy to find what I was looking for with a few keystrokes in their search field. The boxes were laid out logically and I was able to tab through them with ease. I also found tooltips found throughout each form very useful.
I submitted my return for 2015 and if the tax man comes back with no complaints, I see myself using SimpleTax next year as well. I'm impressed with SimpleTax so far but I don't think it's as beginner friendly as TurboTax's interview/questionnaire.
After 40 hours, I'm ready to close the book on Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. I'm also nearing the end of the Division's campaign but unlike Fire Emblem, I don't feel like I'm done with the Division just yet.
Then there's Street Fighter V which I'm trying to play more but any time I try playing online, I get fed up with the long wait times and end up chipping away at Survival Normal. There's a new patch and character coming out next week that will hopefully give me the opportunity to find some quick matches. It's incredibly silly to spend more time waiting on matchmaking and loading than fighting.

Q: passing an instance of a class to another class in order to use its variables I'm trying to pass an instance of my Generator class to another class to use some of the variables. The Generator class instance works fine but when i passed it to another (SelectStrategy) class it seems it is not passing the variable at all. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong - I used var_dump on the called function to check what it gives me but it's just blank.
Function
class Generator
{
    //properties for self
    private $s_charge;

            $node['charge'] = $charge1;
            //array_push($node, $charge1);
            $hops = mt_rand(0,4);
            $node['hops'] = $hops;
            //array_push($node, $hops);
            $resource1 = mt_rand(0,100);
            if ($resource1 <= 50) {
                if ($resource1 <=10){
                    $node['connection'] = '4G';
                    //array_push($node, '4G');
                }
                else {

            }
            else {

            }
            else {
            $node['additional'] = 'none';
            }
            $this->nodes[] = $node;
            //array_push($nodes, $node);
            unset($node);

        }
    //compare which get the resources
    //var_dump($this->nodes[0]);
    }

    private $found_slave = null; //will hold item with max val;
    public function __construct($generator) {
        $this->generator = $generator;
    }
private function selectSlaves() {
        $max = -9999999; //will hold max val

            }
        }

        var_dump($this->found_slave);

}
}

And classes/function calls
$generator = new Generator();
$generator->generateNodesSpecs();
$select_strategy = new SelectStrategy($generator);
$select_strategy->selectSlaves();

The $this->generator->nodes is a 2D array

A: global $generator;

in every function of SelectSlave should do it

Q: Resouce only DLL In C# , cannot access resources I have several C# projects which should use the same resources. Therefore I used  the approach of creating a common resource DLL which only provides the resources.
The resources which are all strings for localization were first on one of the  projects , and that project worked without a problem using its local resources. problems start when I have moved my resources to the DLL.
How did I do it :
I created a class library Named Common.
Under the Common project I have resources.resx (Under Properties) I have all the strings there and I have Access modifier set to public.
On my project(s) I have referenced the Common project.
I am trying to use these resources from two difference locations :
1. .CS Files
2. from XAML.
In the .CS File I am doing :
m_ResourceManager = new ResourceManager("Common.Properties.Resources", Assembly.GetExecutiongAssembly();
m_ResourceManager.GetString("MyString");

Calling GetString throw an exception of missing resource.
In my XAML :
xmlns:p="clr-namespace:Common.Properties".....
<Label Content="{x:Static p:Resources.MyString}".....

With the XAML, the project does not compile and says no Resources section could be found on each of my x:Static.
Again, changing everything to my local resource works perfectly. it just when trying to access it via my DLL.

A: You should specify your assembly explicitly, because now you are trying to load resources from the current executing assembly. For example:
CS:
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("Common.Properties.Resources", typeof(Resources).Assembly);

XAML:
xmlns:p="clr-namespace:Common.Properties;assembly=Common"

*It has been found by question author that VS2013 requires Update 2 or above to make it work. Also, I was unable to reproduce this issue on VS2015 CE.

Justice Department charges Russian spies and criminal hackers in Yahoo intrusion
(The Washington Post)
By Ellen Nakashima
The Justice Department announced Wednesday the indictments of two Russian spies and two criminal hackers in connection with the heist of 500 million Yahoo user accounts in 2014, marking the first U.S. criminal cyber charges ever against Russian government officials.
The indictments target two members of the Russian intelligence agency FSB, and two hackers hired by the Russians.
The charges include hacking, wire fraud, trade secret theft and economic espionage, according to officials. The indictments are part of the largest hacking case brought by the United States.
The charges are unrelated to the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and the FBI's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. But the move reflects the U.S. government's increasing desire to hold foreign governments accountable for malicious acts in cyberspace.

How data breaches grew to massive proportions in 11 years
The United States does not have an extradition treaty with Russia, but officials have said that taking steps such as charges and imposing sanctions can be a deterrent. People also sometimes slip up and travel to a country that is able and willing to transfer them to the United States for prosecution.
Yahoo reported the 2014 hack last fall — in what was then considered the largest data breach in history. The company later disclosed another intrusion affecting more than 1 billion user accounts in 2013, far surpassing the 2014 event. Officials have not determined whether there is a link between the two.
The twin hacks clouded the prospects for the sale of Yahoo's core business to telecommunications giant Verizon. The deal is proceeding after Verizon negotiated the price down in the wake of the breaches.
The compromised accounts may have affected more than just email. Breaking into a Yahoo account would give the hackers access to users' activity on Flickr, Tumblr, fantasy sports and other Yahoo applications.
In the 2014 hack, the FSB — Russia's Federal Security Service, and a successor to the KGB — allegedly sought the information for intelligence purposes, targeting journalists, dissidents and U.S. government officials, but allowed the criminal hackers to use the email cache for the officials' and the hackers' financial gain, through spamming and other operations.
The charges "illustrate the murky world of Russian intel services using criminal hackers in a wide variety of ways," said Milan Patel, a former FBI Cyber Division supervisory special agent who is now a managing director at K2 Intelligence, a cyber firm.
Although FBI agents have long suspected that the Russians have used cyber mercenaries to do their work, this case is among the first in which evidence is offered to show that.
(Jhaan Elker/The Washington Post)
The indicted FSB officers are Dmitry Dokuchaev and Igor Sushchin, his superior. Particularly galling to U.S. officials is that the men worked for the cyber investigative arm of the FSB — a rough equivalent of the FBI's Cyber Division. That the agency that is supposed to investigate computer intrusions in Russia is itself engaged in hacking is "pretty sad," one official said.
Dokuchaev, whose hacker alias was "Forb," was arrested in December in Moscow, according to the news agency Interfax, on charges of state treason for passing information to the CIA. He had reportedly agreed to work for the FSB to avoid prosecution for bank card fraud.
Another man indicted in the case is Alexsey Belan, who is on the list of most-wanted cyber criminals and has been charged twice before, in connection with intrusions into three major tech firms in Nevada and California in 2012 and 2013. He was in custody in Greece for a time but made his way back to Russia, where he is being protected by authorities, officials said.
The other hacker-for-hire is Karim Baratov, who was born in Kazakhstan but has Canadian citizenship. He was arrested in Canada on Tuesday.
The indictments grew out of a nearly two-year investigation by the FBI's San Francisco office with the aid of international law enforcement, officials said. Sanctions and criminal charges are two tools that the Obama administration began using to punish and deter nation state hackers.
"They have the effect of galvanizing other countries that are watching what's happening," said Luke Dembosky, a former deputy assistant attorney general for national security. "They show that we have the resources and capabilities to identify the people at the keyboard, even in the most sophisticated cases."
Three years ago, the United States charged five Chinese military hackers with economic espionage, marking the first time cyber-related charges were levied against foreign government officials.
After the Chinese military hackers were indicted, officials said their activity seemed to dwindle. And the indictments, Dembosky said, helped wrest a pledge in 2015 from the Chinese to stop economic cyberespionage against U.S. firms.
In early 2015, the Obama administration imposed economic sanctions on North Korea for its cyberattack on Sony Pictures' systems.
And in late December, the Obama administration levied economic sanctions on Moscow for its election-year meddling. At the same time, the government sanctioned two Russian criminal hackers with no apparent connection to the Kremlin's interference campaign. They included Belan, who is one of the four indicted in the Yahoo case.

You can now buy an electric car similar in size to a traditional Toyota Corolla / Honda Civic hatchback for the same price as same with circa 200 km's range.
It won't be the panacea for all people's motoring needs but to me it seems we might be at something of a crossroad in parts of the vehicle market where they've become quite a serious option as a round town shopping basket.
My wife's hybrid is coming up 9 years old and we're keeping an eye on how electric vehicles develop as she's a bit of a greenie.
Would you buy one now for the purpose of a general around town vehicle or wait for further developments, your thoughts ?
Think will stick to my Mazda and Lada for now..
Bio ??? Defence against the rotten tomato's being thrown by the hoi polloi !!.
Both Renault (Zoe) and Nissan (Leaf)have new 40 kwh batteries all but eliminating Range issues and they have super fast charge times too.
When I updated the second car to a 2011 Yaris a year or two ago I looked at the likes of the Nissan Leaf as an alternative. But the Yaris was $7,500 with a similar age Leaf nearer to $20,000. And with a secondhand electric car you never know when the battery will fail making the car effectively worthless.
The Yaris uses 6.1 litres to get 100km even in the queues into town and back that seem to get bigger and bigger so it is economic to run fuel-wise. It can also be used for much longer trips, for example when my parents visit from the UK and us the Yaris to do a three week long 5,000km tikki tour around the North Island.
The Yaris has a very low depreciation because it was so cheap to start with. I realise the Leaf is a more upmarket vehicle but the Yaris seemed to fill the gap in a very well priced manner, both at time of purchase and ongoing costs.
You can get a 2011 Leaf now for $12 thous no prob.
Toyota aren't known for their low pollution high economy engines unfortunately.
Nissan Leaf 6stars all round and i think 5 stars for safety ; some models have 8 airbags some less.
The Leaf has been around a long time and is tried and proven. Batteries are guaranteed for 8 years in some places , not sure about hereand last a lot longer than that 'easy to google this.
Testing batt here in NZ not so easy yet,but i see one can download apps and plug ones cellphone into the cigarette lighter and analyse the battery. The car has a 12 bar or more display for a rudimentary picture of its health.
So for me its how can i reduce my carbon footprint as my first priority.
saving money is good saving the planet is necessary. I keep thinking of a grandchild asking what i knew about global warming and then asking the killer question."What did you do about it"?
Owning a small engined car is a v good start though.

Ah - depreciation. I reckon the single biggest cost of owning a car - only made worse if the "asset" is bought via debt. A cost that that seems to be justified by the "enjoyment" value of driving an upmarket vehicle and a cost that causes my scottish blood to freeze when i consider it.
I figure you have given yourself an opportunity to gain $12,500 worth of value else where. And that is quite the asset.
I also reckon this enjoyment is a bit like food: the first three bites of that delicious chocolate are the best - after that it tastes like any old chocolate. Or the first three glasses of pinot - after which you can stick any old red in front of me and i'll be happy.
Which is why when i buy a car it will never be new, never be upmarket and will get driven into the ground. At the moment i cant see any value in considering an electric vehicle - but over time they may become such a commodity that that they will meet my purchasing criteria.
Many thanks for the link. I had a bit of a look for a laugh. The top performance model according to the website costs $236,100, sorry my eyes glazed over and I didn't notice if that included on road costs or not but did notice that the website proudly reckoned I'd save $5,000 in petrol in the first five years. WOW, such a compelling investment proposition where do I sign LOL.
Ludicrous seems like quite the appropriate word although to be fair anything else with a similar level of performance is also priced (and often even a lot more), at similar ludicrous levels.
WOW, now you're TALKING !...where do I sign for that !
A top performance Tesla or a Dodge Demon with 840 ponies for around just under 100k US, it's a no brainer mate.
I think the Tesla is the fastest production car available (0 to 100)and incredibly no pollution to boot, if i ever used ,no brainer, this would be the time.But I'm over speed needs now and into planet saving.Is their any other reason Green Cars are the future?

It's been a rough couple of months at our house, as two members of the family passed away. Our beloved dachshund Frieda died a bit over three weeks ago–I haven't been able to write about that yet (although I will eventually). A month or so before that, I received a call at the office from Jeanne–she said "Ezekiel died." "How do you know?" I asked. "He's floating on his side on top of the water and isn't moving." Ezekiel lived for close to a year, a good deal longer than most Betta fish do. His demise and subsequent burial in our back yard (where two other Betta fish, a hamster, and the ashes of two dogs and a cat are also buried) reminded me of an important lesson I learned from Ezekiel. I wrote about it about a year ago . . .
A few weeks ago, Jeanne said "I want a fish." This was a rather random request, but Jeanne very seldom asks for anything, so within a few days we went to the pet store and purchased a Betta fish. Jeanne named him "Ezekiel" (more randomness), and he has been on the counter between our kitchen and dining room ever since.
Google "Care of Betta fish" and you'll get all sorts of conflicting advice concerning how often and what to feed your fish, how often to change the water, the proper temperature of said water, and more. The water must be distilled, for instance, but can't be pristine—the fish needs a certain amount of self-generated bacteria to swim in. But when the water is so cloudy that you can hardly find the fish because of the floating food remnants and fish poop, chances are it needs to be changed. That's what happened yesterday morning—Ezekiel was transferred to temporary quarters in a large wine glass while his more permanent home was rinsed thoroughly and filled with distilled water, to which Ezekiel was returned once it was warmed to the proper temperature. I'm sure it was a traumatic morning for him all around, but sometimes drastic measures are called for.
Providing Ezekiel with a cleaner and healthier habitat can serve as a metaphor for what human beings need periodically. All of us occasionally need help moving from unhealthy circumstances into a better and fresher atmosphere of promise and hope. I'm currently trying to be such a helper for a number of colleagues who, for reasons more numerous than can be easily summarized, find themselves stuck in a messy situation created by perceived slights, neglect, betrayal, and misunderstanding. There is little agreement about exactly how their atmosphere got so polluted, but there is a general consensus that little to none of it is their fault and that it is someone else's responsibility to get them out of a predicament that they both hate and have become accustomed to.
So how does one escape being stuck in an unhealthy situation with no end in sight, particularly when the person(s) who you believe responsible for the situation either deny that they are responsible or seem uninterested in helping craft a way forward? I've found a few helpful suggestions over the past few days in Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, one of my favorite novels that I'm getting the chance to use in a class for the first time this semester.
Gilead is a love letter from Rev. John Ames, a Congregational minister in the rural Iowa town of Gilead who is in his late seventies, to his eight year old son, a letter in which Ames seeks to pass on some of what he has learned to his son before he dies. Ames' wife Lila, who is decades younger than Ames, wandered into his church when he was in his sixties, a beautiful but damaged soul to whom Ames was inexplicably but immediately attracted. They married soon after; Lila and their son are the joys of Ames' life.
"It don't matter." That was what she said when she forgave someone, but it had a sound of deeper, sadder resignation, as if she were forgiving the whole of the created order, forgiving the Lord Himself.
From a lifetime of pain and sadness Lila has learned that she can move forward, not by pretending that the pain is not real, nor by pretending that devastating loss and crippling neglect are imaginary, but by invoking the power of forgiveness. This is a lesson that Reverend Ames takes to heart.
Ames is a model of goodness—simple, pure, and a light to all in his small community. Yet because he is human, he struggles with all sorts of matters, including Jack, the prodigal son of Ames' best friend. Jack has been a source of pain and frustration to everyone throughout his life, leaving unfinished business and broken hearts in his wake. Now in his early forties, Jack has returned to Gilead after many years away and, as always, is disrupting Ames' life as well as the lives of those Ames loves the most.
As a dedicated pastor, committed Christian, and all-around fine person, Ames knows he should love Jack, tries mightily to do so—and regularly fails. Ames faults Jack for the harm he has done to his father, for his apparent disregard for everything Ames considers to be important, and particularly because Lila and his son form a close friendship with Jack. Everything Jack does annoys Ames; Jack's presence regularly reminds Ames of the age gap between him and his wife, as well as of harm Jack caused years ago, things that Ames has never forgiven him for.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you: The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Jack gets on the bus, and we do not learn whether Ames' blessing has any effect on him. But it is clear that in Ames the cycle of judgment and unforgiveness has been broken. As Lila might have said, Ames in that moment of blessing decides that, with regard to his past with Jack, "it don't matter." Each of us has the power to bless as well as to judge—blessing transforms the murky and dirty water of an unforgiven past into something clear and clean.
To be forgiven is only half the gift. The other half is that we also can forgive, restore, and liberate, and therefore we can feel the will of God enacted through us, which is the great restoration of ourselves to ourselves.
John Ames and Gilead are a primer in how to introduce blessing into the world. Throughout his adult life, when suffering from frequent insomnia, Ames would walk through the middle of Gilead, recalling who lived in each house and what he knew of their histories. And he would pronounce a prayerful blessing on them.
I'd imagine peace they didn't expect and couldn't account for descending on their illness or their quarreling or their dreams.
Such is my hope for my colleagues who need to bless the past and look with hope toward the future. Such is my prayer for all of us, including this nation that is so damaged and fractured by self-inflicted harms. Because in the end, there is only one thing to say about the various events and persons we blame for what keeps us from flourishing—it don't matter.

Cuomo: Can I 'Call Him an A-Hole?
"So Andrew, for the first time in your life be a man."
Jonathon M. Seidl
"If a guy says you have no cojones, how do you punch him back, call him an a--hole?"
That's the question New York's Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo apparently asked his staff during a secret meeting yesterday. Cuomo is trying to figure out how to respond to Tea Party-backed Republican Carl Paladino, whose brash style seems to infuriate the poll-leading (54-38) Cuomo.
The New York Daily Newsreports that Cuomo held the the meeting after Paladino issued a taunting letter that questioned Cuomo's manhood, ripped his father's (former NY Gov. Mario) performance as governor, and tried to coax him into a debate.
"So Andrew, for the first time in your life be a man," Paladino wrote. "Don't hide behind Daddy's coattails even though he pulled strings to advance your career every step of your way. Come out and debate like a man."
But this could just be the beginning. According the Daily News, Paladino promised yesterday that more attacks were coming, including "some personal things to illustrate to people that this man does not have the capability" to be governor.
That might infuriate Cuomo even more. "We have all this stuff [on Paladino] and we're on the defensive," Cuomo griped after reading the letter, according to a Daily News campaign source.
Thus far, Cuomo's campaign has taken the approach of not engaging with Paladino. Cuomo continues to refuse Paladino's requests for a debate and his campaign routinely offers "no comment" to the media regarding Paladino's statements. But after Paladino's letter and last night's meeting, Cuomo's camp is apparently reconsidering that approach.
Still, they must not have reached a final decision. Cuomo's campaign respond to the reports of the secret meeting the same way it usually does: "Cuomo's campaign refused to comment on the private powwow."

Q: Taylor expansion development related to Bernouli numbers. So I have the function $  g(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{B_k}{k!}x^k $ where $B_k$ is the $k$'th Bernouli number.
I want to show that $g(x)(e^{x} - 1) = x$
I tried showing this by developing the taylor expansion for $e^x$ and by taking the first term from it and by performing index manipulation.
I got that the taylor expansion for $e^x$ after substructing $1$ is $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{x^{k+1}}{(k+1)!}$
However, I wasnt able to show the equation above.


It took eight years but the Williams F1 team finally had a win at this year's Spanish Gran Prix race only to have it marred by disaster.
Shortly after taking the team picture it appears that the KERS unit, as system that stores electricity for use in the race, sparked a fuel fire which caused the garage to burst into flames.
It has been reported that there were multiple injuries and a team member was pulled out of the blaze with his legs on fire.
This is an ongoing story but we have the following video of the fire as it was occurring.

Scientists encode computer virus into DNA
Leon Kan, 23 Aug 2017
Researchers have successfully written a computer virus into DNA which is able to infect and control computers when read.
In essence, deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA for short, is a genetic database for storing information. This genetic database forms the masterplan for the building blocks of all living things from a cellular level all the way to organs and tissues. Utilising its fundamental basis of data storage, scientists have been leveraging this mechanism to encode DNA to store other forms of information such as books, audio recordings and images. As research and experimentation on DNA storage begins to grow, so does the potential to store a greater variety of data and programs. One such example is the University of Washington's recent foray into encoding DNA with a computer virus that is fully active.
Writing a virus into DNA
Wherein most digital data is stored in a binary coding system of 1s and 0s, DNA stores its data in the form of a quaternary nucleotides: adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T) and cytosine (C). Knowing this, all the researchers at the Washington team had to convert the quaternary nucleotides into a 'binary form' – and sequence the exact code for the computer virus into the DNA's code.
When those recoded DNA strands were sequenced by a genetic analyser, the computer virus would become active and launch an attack against the computer system. Despite being the first team to successfully arm a DNA sequence with a virus, this success has proven to be a double-edged sword with the success of proving that DNA could be indeed used in the future, as a basis of cyber-attacks.
For now, the virus would only become active when read by a genetic analyser, a machine not commonly seen outside the scientific field.
Nevertheless, the research team remains optimistic about the findings – serving as a precautionary measure of future cyber-attacks and the potential that DNA encoding holds. "The present-day threat is very small, and people don't need to lose sleep immediately," says Tadayoshi Kohno, a computer security expert, who led the team. "But we wanted to know what was possible and what the issues are down the line." Currently, the virus-encoded DNA is only able to affect genetic sequencing machines, which read this exact strand of DNA.
While genetic sequencing has become considerably cheaper and the equipment involved significantly smaller – they remain relatively uncommon in a normal day-to-day setting. They are nowhere near as pervasive as thumb drives or internet files, which are often used to transfer viruses into computer systems. Moreover, the glitch elicited by the DNA virus onto the genetic sequencers can easily be spotted and rectified by the operators of the system – even without prior knowledge of the virus.
DNA – the future cyber weapon?
While the present proof of concept does not ring any major alarm bells; it is the future implications of these DNA viruses, which remain to be the most perturbing. Like any new malware in a cyber arsenal, they often start out benign; but quickly grow into something more malicious as programmers continue to work on and discover their potential.
This growth is compounded further by the exponential growth of computer's processing power. Early examples of using these virus-encoded DNAs include compromising a crime scene with the DNA. When forensics team analyse the evidence for genetic data, these virus-encoded DNAs may provide false data or even wipeout the existing evidence.
Meanwhile, another creative use of the DNA would be to manipulate an individual's genetic makeup, as explained by Peter Ney, a member of the research team, "If you can compromise [the sequencing pipeline], you could steal that data, or manipulate it to make it seem like people have genetic diseases they don't have."
Last but not least, these virus-encoded DNAs could be used for corporate sabotage especially for those within a scientific and medical field. The inclusion of this DNA into a competitor's research could render their data wildly incorrect – or, worse still, halt all existing progress to the research. While the future certainly looks grim, the objective of the team was not to create a new cyber-weapon or strike fear in the general populace. Rather, quite the opposite. "We want to understand and anticipate what the hot new technologies will be over the next 10 to 15 years – to stay one step ahead of the bad guys," echoes Kohno.
The research carried out by Tadayoshi Kohno and his team at the University of Washington have successfully encoded a virus into DNA. While potentially harmful, the virus would only become active when read by a genetic analyzer and, even then, can be counteracted easily. Nevertheless, this proof of concept gives us an idea of how our DNA may be armed in the future as part of the ever growing battle in cyber-warfare. "My hope is that over the next five to 10 years, people take a strong interest in DNA security, and proactively harden their systems against adversarial threats," says Kohno. "We don't know of such threats arising yet and we hope that they'll never manifest." MIMS

This week I had the chance to sit down with Suzanne Teulker, a well-loved Shipshewana Flea Market vendor, and get to know her story! Suzanne owns Teulker's Treasures, a crafts and gifts business with unique handmade items.
You can find Suzanne and her craft trailer every Tuesday & Wednesday in Shipshewana at space 413. Check out the interview and photos below!
I live in Wabash, Indiana. I drive an hour and a half each Tuesday and Wednesday to sell here at the market!
What makes your booth unique?
People seem to like my creativity. Also, every item is original because it's handmade. Each painted sign is free-handed, so you'll never see another like it! Truly one-of-a-kind.
How did you get started selling your crafts?
I've always liked to paint and make things. I used to be in 4-H, and took all the art classes I could in high school.
I started selling my crafts full-time 27 years ago after I had my second child because I wanted to work at a job where I could have my children come with me. It's nice because you can set your own hours and schedule. Back then, we lived in Brownstown, Indiana, and my husband and father were also involved. They used to help do all the woodworking. I would do weekend craft shows, and we opened up a shop at our home.
This will be my fourth year (I think) selling at the Shipshewana Flea Market. I also do the fall and winter craft shows in the auction building. Having a booth at Shipshewana was a bucket list thing for me. I wanted to try it, and it worked! I can do weekend craft shows elsewhere and come here every Tuesday and Wednesday for the market.
Now, we live in Wabash and have a store there too. That's where I make most of my products. My daughter is fourteen years old and she helps me sand, paint and base coat the signs. It's great.
I love painting on windows. It's a blank slate.
The most popular items this year are my letters. I've got a couple of different sizes. People also love the saws and the wooden candle blocks.
What do you like most about being a vendor at Shipshewana Flea Market?
I love the amount of people that come through here from all around the world.
Why, in your opinion, should people shop the flea market?
There are so many unique things here.
Do you have any advice for new vendors?
Be patient. I'm in my fourth year and I've started noticing that people are coming back just for my booth. It takes a little bit to build that audience. Also, make sure you are selling a variety of items,and not just one thing.
You can find out more about Suzanne and Teulker's Treasures on facebook. Or, visit her booth at space number 413! Look for the cute red trailer with lots of signs and wooden items out front.
Have you ever thought about selling at the Shipshewana Flea Market? We accept new vendors all of the time! Try it for a week or a month and see what you think! You can also read some more vendor spotlight stories, or download a PDF of vendor testimonials.


We are having olive wood carvings available topurchase after all Masses next weekend. The proceeds are to support Christian Catholic families in the Holy Land since it is the major source of income for them there. More than 75 families in Bethlehem hand carved these items. They are very beautiful and unique items. (Nativities, Crucifixes, Rosaries and Statues. TheChristian population has dropped from 22% to less than 2% in the past two decades. This is a way to support their stay there. Thank you for your support.


Peeing blood can be incredibly scary. Most of us do not expect to see blood when we go to the bathroom, When we do, we often think the worst. The good news is that peeing blood often signifies a simple medical condition that can be easily treated, but it is important to seek medical attention to be certain of the cause.. FastMed Urgent Care is a network of modern, state-of-the-art walk-in clinics throughout North Carolina and Arizona. Open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, FastMed can immediately address a wide range of health care issues.
What Causes Me to Pee Blood?
Kidney stones. Also known as renal lithiasis, kidney stones are caused by minerals in your urine that form crystals or hard deposits inside your kidneys. If kidney stones grow large enough to cause obstruction, urination may become extremely painful, and you may begin peeing blood.
Urinary tract infection. Your urinary tract consists of your kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Bacteria can cause a urinary tract infection to occur in any of these areas and can lead to painful urination, burning, bloody urine, and foul-smelling urine.
Medications. Penicillin, aspirin, blood thinner, and certain anti-cancer drugs can cause visible blood in urine.
Enlarged prostate. Common in older men, an enlarged prostate can cause an obstruction to urine flow that can make it hard to urinate and may even cause them to pee blood.
Kidney disease. It is a life-threatening condition. In fact, kidney disease is the 9th leading cause of death in the United States. Your kidneys act as a filter to eliminate wastes and excess fluid from your blood. This waste is excreted in your urine. Kidney disease causes fluid, electrolytes, and wastes to build up in your body, which can eventually lead to death if not properly treated.
If you have questions about your health, you have a right to find answers! FastMed has extended hours and is open 365 days a year to ensure quality medical care is available to you when you need it. Check out our blog to read health tips, recipes, and to learn more about what we do!


Antioch Tire—a leader in commercial truck tire sales and service in the Midwest area—wished to venture into the retail passenger tire business.

Karmichael Hunt's defensive work impressed Wallabies coach Michael Cheika against Fiji, but he's not the only one who's taken notice of the debutant's efforts.
Scotland defence coach Matt Taylor, a former Reds defence coach, keeps a close eye on his former charges and Hunt's aggression caught his eye in Super Rugby and on the weekend.
"I've been really impressed with his competition over the ball," he said.
"For someone to be that committed around the breakdown, we're going to have to be very good at cleaning them out and getting our support for the ball.
"I've been impressed with that and his confrontation in terms of his tackling.
Scotland arrives in Australia ranked fifth in the world, its highest since rankings were introduced in 2003 and Taylor said their journey was in many ways running parallel to the Wallabies.
"I think Scottish rugby is in a really good place and it's in a really positive place," he said.
"I think personally over the last couple of years, I think we've built and built and we've had some good results.
"Like even in the Six Nations, we had a really bad result against England which was disappointing but you'd say in every other game, to beat Wales the first time in 10 years, to beat Ireland who were a very good team and to beat Italy and keep them tryless in the last game, there was lots of positives.
Taylor wants to be a part of that journey, though his contract is up in 2018, and all but ruled out the possibility of returning to Australia anytime soon.
Should he come back, though, he said the intel that some overseas coaches bring about the Australian game would be a handy weapon.
"I'd never say never about Australia because you've just got to go where the job is but at this point I love Scotland, my family's really settled there and Scotland rugby union's been really good to me and my family," he said.
"The great thing I find for me personally is you've got the likes of Dave Rennie and he's going to be with Glasgow.
"I think it's really good to talk to a lot of Kiwi coaches because you get a bit of insight of what they think about Australians and Australian teams which you wouldn't get if they're in competition.".
The Wallabies take on Scotland on Saturday, kicking off at 3pm AEST LIVE on FOX SPORTS and via RUGBY.com.au RADIO.

Perhaps the biggest attraction in the Columbian capital Bogota is called the National Capitol. The building is one of the most important in Columbia. It houses the state government - Columbian Congress.
The beautiful building is located on the popular square Bolívar, located in the heart of the more than seven million Columbian capital. Architect of the National Capitol in Bogotá was Thomas Reed.
The construction of the magnificent building started back in 1876 on the orders of President Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera. Overall completion of the building hapened fifty years later - only in 1926.
National Capitol Hill is known for its memorable mural, located in the Hall for notifications (Elliptic chamber).
This masterpiece was created by artist Santiago Martínez Delgado, under the leadership of Alberto Lleras Camargo and Laureano Gómez. Both subsequently became presidents of Columbia. Today, the mural is considered one of the most significant in the history of the South American country.
The painting of the walls began in 1947. The occasion then was a major conference of South American countries, held in the National Capitol. The picture captures the moment in which the historically significant personalities Bolivar and Santander Cucuta are leaving the Congress, held at a time in which actions are carried out, that led to the creation of the state Columbia.
Simón Bolívar, after whom is actually named a square in Bogota as well, is a Latin American revolutionary and politician, deeply respected in South American countries, since he dedicated his life to gaining their independence. It is him, that the state of Bolivia is actually named after. Another interesting fact is that in Venezuela every major city has a square named after him - Bolivar. In his honor was also erected magnificent monument of Bolivar Square in Bogota.
Close to the National Capitol are other important buildings of strategic importance for the management of the Columbian capital, which attract huge tourist interest. On the square Bolivar are still Hall, Palace of Justice, the main cathedral of Colombia and the presidential palace Nariño Palace.

Newtown Jets Jerseys
1990 > 1999 >

Rochdale Hornets
Concord Burwood Glebe Wolves
This is what I believe was called a 'fashion jersey' that was sold by the club at the time. Obviously never worn during a game this was more to be worn at the game or to the pub. It's a really weird cut, very wide and so it feels a bit short around the waist so as a result I've never actually worn this jersey. I think there was an alternative of this design too that the colours were reversed so the jersey was primarily white with two large blue stripes. Also was the only time that the 'Jets' badge was used like this with the 'First Club In Rugby League' wording underneath.
The jersey at the bottom was given to a sponsor at the end of season as a thank you for their support of the club in a frame. The Clarence Hotel, on corner of Crystal street and Parramatta road Petersham were the sleeve sponsors that year. The story goes that after one the many changes of hands of the pub this framed jersey was given back to the club, however the frame was dropped at some point and the jersey was salvaged, it explains the remains of glue under the collar and along the back. The main sponsor for that year were Labelcraft.
