Q: package.json vs. "npm install %s -g" A package.json example:
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "jasmine-node": ""
  }
}

It just won't work. Some errors like the following will appear:

npm ERR! error rolling back Error: UNKNOWN, unlink '/vagrant/x/node_modules/jasmine-node/node_modules/jasmine-reporters/ext/env.rhino.1.2.js'
  npm ERR! error rolling back  jasmine-node@1.14.5 { [Error: UNKNOWN, unlink '/vagrant/x/node_modules/jasmine-node/node_modules/jasmine-reporters/ext/env.rhino.1.2.js']
  npm ERR! error rolling back   errno: -1,
  npm ERR! error rolling back   code: 'UNKNOWN',
  npm ERR! error rolling back   path: '/vagrant/x/node_modules/jasmine-node/node_modules/jasmine-reporters/ext/env.rhino.1.2.js' }
  npm ERR! Error: UNKNOWN, symlink '../coffee-script/bin/coffee'
  npm ERR! If you need help, you may report this entire log,
  npm ERR! including the npm and node versions, at:
  npm ERR!     http://github.com/npm/npm/issues

But if I do npm install jasmine-node -g, everything install and works seamlessly and I can't see why.
Can someone clarify this question for me?

A: You can try this:
sudo npm install jasmine-node@1.14.2 -g

Current version is 1.14.3, so it is one version behind.
In package.json try:
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "jasmine-node": ">=1.14.3"
    "jasmine-reporters": "~1.0.0",
  }
}

A: Remove that line from package.json and do npm install --save-dev jasmine-node that will install it and add the correct line in your devDependencies.

Im A Celebs Danny seems to have feelings of jealousy towards Simon and Adam, says expert
Danny Miller is showing "feelings of jealousy" towards his I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! campmates Adam Woodyatt and Simon Gregson, a body language expert has claimed.
The 30 year old is currently in the hit ITV show's castle with the EastEnders star, 53, and Coronation Street legend, 47.
Upon arrival to the castle, the Emmerdale actor was forced to fight for his place in the main camp, losing out and landing in The Clink, where he had to eat rations for his first week, and carry out chores for main camp.
Meanwhile, Adam and Simon were later arrivals to the camp, automatically being made "Lords", and were waited on hand and foot by their co-stars.
Leading body language expert Judi James has observed the actor may be feeling jealous towards his peers, telling Buzz Bingo: "The morose and constantly tearful member of Emmerdale's Dingles has been resolutely upbeat and happy since he beat his fears over the Dreaded Diner eating task at the start of the series.
"But we shouldn't forget that award-winning soap star Danny had to watch Simon Gregson and Adam Woodyatt promoted to the role of Lords of the Camp on their arrival and treated like A-list stars as the others sit around their thrones, listening in awe to their stories and experiences."
Judi believes that this may have sparked some jealousy, as she continued: "Danny's smile hasn't broken yet, but he did suggest earlier this week that he should gatecrash their comfy double bed to put Emmerdale in there with Corrie and Eastenders, dropping a hint that he is feeling the snub more than he is letting on."
On Monday night, Danny's Instagram account posting a video of him in tears as he discussed leaving his role as Aaron Dingle on the hit ITV soap.
His fiancée Steph Jones uploaded the video after his final scenes as Aaron aired, writing: "As you may be aware Danny has made some life changing decisions this year. But the biggest decision he made came in the decision to leave Emmerdale.
"Over the past 13 years Emmerdale has been like a second home to Danny. Having grown up with Aaron we have all cried, laughed, felt his heartbreak and sadness as Danny has portrayed some of the shows toughest storylines and I hope you agree he has done them justice.

"Cast and crew have become like a second family to Danny and as the video says he can't thank them enough, but most importantly he would like to thank Aaron fans for sharing the journey with Danny and Aaron for all these years. And here's hoping we see Danny back on our screens soon after the show doing what he loves most," Steph further penned."
The actor's fiancée concluded the caption with: "Goodbye for now Aaron Dingle."
At the beginning of the clip, Danny said that it was a "wrap on Aaron" as his voice began to break.
Danny then proceeded to gush about his Emmerdale colleagues.
He said: "This cast and crew have been amazing for me. I've learnt so, so much here. I've made so many lifelong friends. I already miss them."
Discussing his decision to leave, Danny continued: "It was a very, very tough decision for me to make for my new family – Steph and my baby. It was a very difficult decision to make because I was only going to have two weeks with me baby before I was whisked off to the Castle in Wales."
"Steph pretty much forced me (to go on the show) to be fair," Danny joked. "I hope I'm entertaining people in there in a different way to the way Aaron's entertained people."

Welcome, writer friends! We're glad you've found our hub for writing, editing, and general nerdiness for books. Here we'll share a bit more about us, our background in writing, as well as other tidbits that will suggest we are very friendly and approachable.
I've been reading, writing and loving stories since I was a little kid, and I'm looking forward to continuing to do so all my life. It took me a long time to decide where I wanted to end up professionally. Starting college it was this nebulous "I'm going to be a writer." After a couple of years, I decided editing is what I wanted to make a career out of, though I still maintain the dream of a career as a published author. To that end, I continue to write!
I'm a big fan of genre fiction, what I refer to in not-at-all-biased terms as "the fun stuff." Sci-fi and fantasy are my drug and imagination fuel, and almost every story I've conceived sits firmly in one of those two camps.
Outside of reading and writing, I gustily consume awesome fiction through a number of other mediums. I love video games, tabletop RPGs, and movies, and I'm known to friends for being fairly easy to please (you'll never convince me that The Phantom Menace was a bad movie!), and I get a huge kick out of seeing places decorated with genre and fan art.
What can you expect from me on Wit & Travesty? I have always felt that the internet's truest purpose is connecting people and letting ideas grow, so wherever I go on the web I go to discuss and engage. Of course, that's got to start somewhere, so I will certainly be sharing things that have engaged me and got me thinking or excited.
I hope you'll respond and bring your friend and fellow fans into discussions about new movies, stories, and challenges in writing and analyses of how these things are presented. Looking forward to getting to know you!
I've been an editor for over five years, but I've been a writer for decades. Writing became a hobby during high school and I already knew then that I wanted to be a published author someday. It wasn't until I graduated from college that I completely finished my first manuscript, Destiny Seeker.
My top writing strength is dialog. I could write a whole scene with just dialog—I remind myself to add other story elements, too! As for editing, I'm really good at developmental editing. It's often really hard to make huge radical changes to the plot, but I'm all for making changes for the greater good—even if it takes more time and heartache. As a pantser, I've had to make huge developmental overhauls over the years.
Beyond writing and editing, I'm pretty passionate and nerdy about cosplay, cross stitching, comic books, weight lifting, PokemonGo, and nerdy fashion. I'm also a bleeding heart, so I love supporting small businesses—I've made a lot of friends by buying their homemade projects or clothes from their online shops.
What can you expect from me on Wit & Travesty? You'll definitely find a lot of book reviews, writing tips, and personal pieces on mental health. Writing can be such an emotional experience, and as a recovering perfectionist, I have a few things to say about writing joyfully rather than guiltily.

Brewing an Agile Transformation at Heineken
An Interview with Heineken Global Information Services' Ing Yan Ong and Luca Cutolo
The Dutch beverage conglomerate began its agile transformation in the IT department, where leadership worked hand-in-hand with other departments as well as with outside suppliers and the company's employee work council.
Just as a brewery relies on its brewmaster to formulate new varieties of beer, Heineken relied on its IT department to create a new way of working for the Dutch company.
The company's IT function, Global Information Services (GIS), was a good place to start embracing agile ways of working. The department faced challenges that included a rapidly accelerating pace of change inside and outside the organization, as well as the need to attract new hires with digital talents who might not consider a 150-year-old company an option when looking for technology jobs.
Heineken GIS Senior Director Ing Yan Ong and Luca Cutolo, who designed and managed Heineken GIS' agile transformation, recently spoke with BCG about the company's agile journey. Edited excerpts from the interview follow.
Ing Yan Ong, Senior Director, Global Information Services, Heineken
Benoordenhout, The Netherlands
Master's degree in industrial engineering and management, University of Twente
Postdoc for registered EDP auditor, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
2013–2015 Regional IT Director, Heineken Europe
2008–2013 IT Manager, Heineken Netherlands
1999–2008 IT Audit Department Head, ABN AMRO Bank
1997–1999 Consultant, Oracle
Luca Cutolo, Director Global Technology Supply Chain, Heineken
Master's degree in transportation and business engineering, Tor Vergata University of Rome
2018–2019 Director, Agile Transformation and Agile Office, Heineken GIS

2014–2015 Global Strategic and Digital Program Director, Shell Upstream
2010–2014 Lead Architect, Shell Upstream
Cutolo: Heineken is a company with a more-than-150-year history with a strong culture, and we wanted to bring something new. To make sure the agile transformation was seamless for the organization itself, but also for us who were running it, we needed to blend these two worlds.
Currently, I'm the GIS director for global technology in the supply chain. I joined Heineken in July 2018 as the agile transformation director. My job at the time was really to manage the design and lead the agile transformation process for GIS.
Ong: I'm the senior director for global information services. We actually started the agile transformation within GIS a couple of years ago when we recognized that we were increasingly dealing with a project portfolio that was expanding; technology was becoming much more relevant in Heineken. And actually, we were doing quite well at dealing with that expanding portfolio, but at the same time, we realized that the requirements and the speed of change were also tremendously increasing.
We started almost two years ago, when we very openly said to the entire department, "We are all moving to this agile way of working." What we said was, let's first give people the chance to learn and experience themselves what it means. We established two product teams; we had more than 80 experiments for people to learn and apply scrum and agile ways of working actually before we transformed into this agile organization.
We had quite a traditional setup also in our office, where many people had their own desks, had their own offices. And we said, as we are going to move freely to an open office, no fixed workplaces, you actually work with the people that you have to work with on that day. So, it became a very much more collaborative environment that catered to new ways of working.
Obviously, in a transformation like this there are quite some challenges. I'd say the first one was around the people, making sure we delivered on the services and projects we were committed to and, at the same time, equipping them for new ways of working. The second challenge that we had was, because we started in GIS, the IT department, finance, HR and several other processes we were quite dependent on had not changed. So, we had to cope with new ways of working within IT that were not yet supported by other supporting functions, like HR, finance, and legal.
Cutolo: To be successful in this strategy, we need to get the suppliers on board. And the only way possible that we foresaw at that time was to get them on board from day one. So, we created a lot of sessions and workshops with our suppliers. The combination of this open communication between us and our suppliers eventually made better contracts and a better way to measure the suppliers that has been implemented in the agile organization.
We are a large company, so we have to collaborate with what is called the work council. The work council is an internal governance body that is looking after the employees' interests during a period of change. To get them on board from day one, we decided to apply agile principles to the way that we were collaborating with them. When it was time to implement the real transformation, there were no surprises.
Ong: The agile transformation has really helped GIS as a function both within and outside of Heineken. Within Heineken, because we started this agile transformation within GIS, other functions as well as operating companies are now coming to us, to learn from us but also to reuse a lot of the materials that we have. And that's changing the perception of GIS as a function.
Outside of Heineken, what we see is the agile transformation and everything else we're doing around digital and technology and innovation are really helping increase the attractiveness of GIS as a great place to work.

JetBlue are one of those airlines that I don't write too much about. They're centred in North America, but do have a few international services to some of the Caribbean islands. They're also not a part of a major global alliance, so being the points fiend that I am, means that I usually have another choice of airline.
That said, their business class product, Mint, is meant to be excellent and I've never really heard anyone say much bad about them either.
So a couple of days ago, they announced that they would start trans-atlantic services from their hubs at Boston and New York JFK.
And, er, that's about it. They're going to be using some Airbus A321LR aircraft that they have on order and they're going to 're-imagine' their Mint business class offering for this service too.
However critically, they've not confirmed what London Airport they're going to be using; Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or Heathrow.
London is the largest metro area JetBlue doesn't yet serve from both Boston and New York, and we could not be more thrilled to be changing that in the years ahead. The fares being charged today by airlines on these routes, specifically on the premium end, are enough to make you blush.
Slots are Heathrow are expensive – very expensive. They're currently in the midst of challenging the US Department of Transport's updated approvals of the BA/AA/IB/AY joint business agreement as they want to add in Aer Lingus. Similarly Delta and Virgin, have a joint business agreement separately to Delta, KLM and Air France. They want to merge those too, which JetBlue are also challenging.
Either way, unless they're going to some slots for free, using a single aisle aircraft with perhaps no more than 16 or 20 premium seats, surely isn't going to generate enough revenue to cover their costs. Not least as they're going to need a decent number of frequencies in both markets to compete against the like of the BA/AA and Delta/Virgin.
Gatwick would seem to be the logical choice and go head to head with Norwegian, who are operating 787's on the same route. Although Delta and Virgin as a spoiler just announced their intention to fly the same routes.
There's already a lot of competition over the North Atlantic, so it will be interesting if they can make it work, especially with the A321LR to London.

North Korea has put on a display of might in its military parades in Pyongyang, with Kim Jong-un making a rallying speech professing the country's military strength.
With citizens of North Korea having been seen rehearsing for the day's celebrations in past weeks, there has been an anticipated build-up to the 70th anniversary celebrations of the rule of its Workers' Party, with some speculating that they may use the occasion to launch nuclear missile tests, prompted by the country's declaration earlier this year that it possessed "cutting edge" weaponry for modern warfare.
North Korea has long held the US as an enemy due to its close ties with South Korea. The two conflicting states of North and South Korea are still technically at war, as the armed conflict of 1950-53 ended in a truce rather than a treaty.
Kim Jong-un's speech was followed by expertly choreographed military displays, with flag-bearers marching in unison and jets flying in a 70-shaped formation, as well as the city being closed off to traffic and streets filled with military vehicles.
China's Senior Communist Party official Liu Yunshan attended the events – the highest-ranking official to visit the country since Kim Jong-un came to power after his father's death in 2011 – and Mr Kim could be seen talking to throughout the events.
China's official news agency, Xinhua, reported that Liu delivered a letter to Kim during his visit, from China's president Xi, stating that China attached vital importance to its relationship with North Korea. It also expressed China's desire to "seek closer communication and deepen cooperation" with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or Sino-DPRK, as North Korea is officially known.
Official news agency KCNA of North Korea reported that Kim had reiterated China's desire to bolster ties. China is North Korea's closest ally both politically and in terms of trade, although the relationship has been strained by the North's nuclear programme, and the sanctions imposed upon the country by the UN and US.

Essex Leopards general manager Dave Ryan praised his club's coaches and players after a pair of wins lifted them up to sixth place in the National League Division One table.
The Big Cats won 87-63 at Manchester Magic on Saturday and recorded a fourth win of the season over Reading Rockets (93-78) at Essex Sports Arena the next day.
Ryan said: "In the middle of November, with the team bottom of the league after losing our first five games I did wonder if we'd done the right thing by accepting a late promotion to Division One.
"But the way Tom [Baker], Roger and the team have turned things has been fantastic to watch.
"Even with additional signings, they've still coped with adversity and the loss of a couple of players, but 10 wins in the last 13 games is title-chasing form for half a season and instead of worring about relegation, we're now looking at a place in the play-offs.
After winning the first two quarters by three points, a strong show in the second second half proved key in Manchester and a 13-2 run in the final five minutes ended any chance of a comeback from the young Magic side.
Captain Sam Newman led the way with 19 points and an impressive 13 assists, five rebounds and four steals.
Asante Sandiford also finished with 19 points, six rebounds and five assists, and Lee Hodges had a 14-point, 12-rebound double-double.
Darrell Bethune marked his first game for Leopards with 12 points and two steals in 20 minutes off the bench.
The next day saw Leopards outscore the visitors 25-14 in the second period to take control, and they never looked back as they wrapped up their 10th league win of the season.
Sandiford missed out on a rare triple-double by a single assist, with 13 rebounds and 29 points – 22 in the first half.
Newman had 16 points and eight assists, as Hodges and Findlay Wood each had eight rebounds to go with 15 and 10 points respectively.

U.S. has 'understanding' with Germany to shut Nord Stream 2 pipeline if Russia invades Ukraine -congressional aide
U.S. officials have told members of Congress they have an understanding with Germany about shutting down the Nord Stream 2 pipeline if Russia invades Ukraine, a senior congressional aide told Reuters on Tuesday.
The aide said U.S. officials told Congress they have been in contact with their German counterparts in the event of an invasion, given the massing of Russian troops on the border with Ukraine.
U.S. officials say they have received assurances from Germany the pipeline would be turned off, the aide said. But it was unclear if the two sides had agreed on a definition of invasion, the aide said.
A European diplomat told Reuters U.S. officials had made it clear to allies that they would act to sanction the pipeline in the event of an invasion, which could make any German action a moot point.
"If the U.S. imposes (additional) sanctions, it's an academic point, because no one will be able to do business with Nord Stream 2 for fear of running afoul of U.S. sanctions."
German officials told reporters on Tuesday that there was still a process to complete before the pipeline would even start operations.
President Joe Biden has long opposed the Russian-German pipeline. The U.S. State Department has sanctioned Russian entities related to it, but not the company behind it, as it has tried to rebuild ties with Germany that deteriorated under Donald Trump's administration.

Circling a giant
Mike Lynch / Published: July 7, 2019
Have you seen that really bright star popping out and dazzling the southeast Pottsville sky after sunset?
It's hard to miss! It's actually Jupiter, the biggest by far planet in our solar system. It's basically a big ball of hydrogen and helium gas with a diameter of around 88,000 miles, more than 11 times that of our Earth. Through a telescope, even a smaller one, it's possible to see at least some of its darker cloud bands that appear diagonally oriented as Jupiter rises in the southeast sky. The easiest ones to see are two darker cloud bands on either side of Jupiter's equator. The clouds are made up of methane, ammonia and sulfur compounds. There's actually some subtle color to them.
With larger scopes, you'll see more bands and more detail, and maybe even the Great Red Spot, a giant storm raging on Jupiter. It's called the red spot, but in reality, it has more of a pale pinkish hue. The red spot isn't always available, though, because of Jupiter's speedy 10-hour rotation. Half of the time the red spot is turned away from Earth. As I've told you before, the longer you gaze at Jupiter through the eyepiece of your scope, the more detail you'll see. Try to look at it for at least 10-minute shots at a time. That really works.
No matter how large or small your telescope is or even if all you have is a pair of binoculars, you'll get a kick out of watching Jupiter's four brightest moons. Io, Europa, Callisto and Ganymede obediently orbiting Jupiter in periods of two to 17 days. There's many, many smaller moons gravitationally enslaved by the big guy of the solar system.
Because of their continual dance they will constantly be changing positions relative to the disk of Jupiter. Some nights you may see two on one side and two on the other, or three on one side and one on the other or all four on one side. There are also many nights when you can't see all four at one time because one or more moons may be behind of or in front of Jupiter from our Earthly vantage.
When a moon is behind Jupiter, you obviously have no shot at seeing it, but when one is in front of the disk of the planet you may see the dot of its shadow on Jupiter, although you need a moderate to larger telescope to see this. With Jupiter's relative proximity this month and most of this upcoming fall, you have a chance of seeing a moon shadow on Jupiter even with some of the smaller scopes. It's worth a try.
You can keep up on the position of Jupiter's four brightest moons by checking out monthly magazines like Astronomy or Sky and Telescope, but of course there are many places to find that information on the internet. My favorite site is from Sky and Telescope magazine at www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/objects/javascript/3307071.html#. You do have to register online, but there's no cost or obligation.
Type that in and click the link they show in red print, and it will produce a diagram of the layout of Jupiter's moons at any given time. Sky and Telescope also has a great phone app for about $3 that does the same thing. I have it on my phone.
In the diagram, I show the positions of Jupiter's moons during the coming week. This Saturday night, if your scope is up to it, you may see the shadow of Io on the face of Jupiter, and on Sunday Europa's shadow will dot the planet's disk. Consider this extra credit if you see these two shadowy events next weekend.
Jupiter actually has more than 60 known moons and probably many more that haven't been confirmed yet, but the four larger moons that we see through our backyard telescopes are certainly the best known. They're also referred to as the Galilean moons, because the great astronomer and scientist Galileo used these moons to help prove that the sun, and not the Earth, was the center of what was then seen as the universe.
Io is the closest moon at a little more than 2,200 miles in diameter. A little larger than our moon, it's the most geologically active body in our solar system. Since it's only about a quarter of a million miles from the very massive Jupiter, there's a colossal gravitational wallop on Io from the mothership. The tidal forces are tremendous, and because of the constant stretching heat builds up in Io's interior to the point of melting. This in turn produces numerous and frequent volcanic eruptions.
The next moon out from Jupiter, Europa, may be the best candidate for life in our solar system. Europa is covered by a sheet of ice, and there may be an ocean of liquid water beneath it, or at least a slushy ocean. Once again, because it's so close to Jupiter the tidal forces are strong enough to heat up Europa's interior, possibly allowing for liquid water below the ice. Where there is liquid water there's a chance of life as we know it. Stay tuned!
Callisto and Ganymede are the largest and farthest away from Jupiter of the Galilean moons, and are both larger than our moon. In fact, Ganymede is even a little larger than Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. Both Ganymede and Callisto are heavily cratered bodies and are comparatively nowhere near as interesting as Io and Europa.
Enjoy the never-ending dance of Jupiter's moons!
Celestial hugging this week
The moon will have some nice close conjunctions between both Jupiter this week. On Friday, the waxing gibbous moon will be just to the upper right of Jupiter and on Saturday, the moon will be just to Jupiter's left. Don't miss the show!

A fo ben, bid bont ('let he who leads bear the load') is a Welsh proverb rumoured to recall the giant Brân, often Bendigeidfrân (Brân/Frân the Blessed), who was so tall that he once stretched himself between the banks of a river so that his troops might cross. In earlier stories, Brân, who no normal house could contain, is portrayed as a wise king whose severed head continued to counsel his people after his death. The best-known stories of Brân appear in the Mabinogion, written in the 12th century and based on long-standing oral traditions. Brân's stature allowed him to stride across the Irish Sea to rescue his hapless sister from a failed marriage. In the Mabinogion he is said to have been able to traverse deep parts 'by wading'; clearly he must have been gigantic.

Bartolomeo d'Alviano (c. 1455 – October 1515) was an Italian condottiero and captain who distinguished himself in the defence of the Venetian Republic against the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian.

Biography
Bartolomeo d'Alviano was born in 1455 to a noble family in Umbria at Todi to Francesco d'Alviano and Isabella degli Atti. He fought very early in his life in Central Italy, serving in the Papal States and, in 1496, the Orsini family against Pope Alexander VI and the Colonna. In May 1497, Bartolomeo massacred Ghibellines in Todi while reinstalling the Guelfs. The next year he entered the service of Venice until 1503 when he joined the Orsini.

Bartolomeo was then hired by Ferdinand II of Spain. He distinguished himself in the victory at the Battle of Garigliano over the French army, which started the Spanish domination over southern Italy. In 1506, he returned to the Republic of Venice; he would remain in its service until his death. The following year Bartolomeo defeated the Imperial Army of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, in Cadore (March 2, 1508), at Mauria and Pontebba, conquering Gorizia and Trieste. Pordenone also fell in the same year, and the Serenissima assigned the city's signory to d'Alviano himself, which was ruled by the d'Alviano family until 1539.

In 1509 (the year he began the construction of new city walls at Padua), Bartolomeo was defeated at the Battle of Agnadello while commanding the advance guard, being wounded as a result. After Nicolo Orsini, his co-commander of the Venetian army, refused to come to his aid, he was captured by the French. He remained a prisoner until 1513, when an alliance between France and Venice was formed against the Duchy of Milan. Bartolomeo was chosen as the commander-in-chief of the Venetian Army after being released, and fought under the French commander Louis de la Trémoille. He was defeated at the Battle of La Motta by the Spanish viceroy of Naples Ramón de Cardona and marquis of Pescara Fernando d'Ávalos.

Later, Bartolomeo again conquered and sacked Pordenone, which had fallen again to the House of Habsburg. In 1513-14, during the War of the Holy League, he captured Friuli for Venice. He subsequently played a major role in the French victory in the Battle of Marignano (September 1515), in which he attacked the Swiss mercenaries with a corps of only 300 knights. Later also he managed to conquer Bergamo, but died in October of the same year during the siege of Brescia.

Bartolomeo was buried in the church of Santo Stefano in Venice.

Personal life
In 1497, he married Bartolomea Orsini. Some time later, he married Pantasilea Baglioni.

In fiction
A fictional version of Bartolomeo d'Alviano appears in the video games Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood as a member of the Order of Assassins. His second wife, Pantasilea Baglioni, also appears as a member in Brotherhood.

I think that's a great idea. I'm a bit overwhelmed with work and other commitments and have scheduled as a veg out day. Don a pair of pjs, watch tv I've missed while knitting and get round to do some blogging.
Definitely need something like this to keep me going through the week!
You have made a very inspiring schedule for the whole week that would not only get some time to rest but also you can enjoy your life with full enthusiasm. You have provided me the Most Outstanding Epic Gifs Ever through which i have also got the courage to make my schedules like wise.
Teacher should use visual aid in when they deliver the lectures in the classroom, visual aid has very important effect on the mind of the students because it is very well clear that practical is always better then theory, students always learn through practice rather than theory and http://www.whowritesbest.com/ is there to help.

Kardashian Betrayal: Kylie Jenner's Sisters JEALOUS Of Jordyn Woods?
While the Kardashian-Jenner sisters welcomed Tristan Thompson back into their lives again, Jordyn Woods seemed to have remained out of the picture.
Fans, however, have a theory.
Kylie Jenner's friendship with Jordyn ended in February 2019 when her former BFF got involved in an alleged affair with Khloe Kardashian's partner at a party. The incident left the Kylie Cosmetics owner in utter shock, forcing her to move on without trying to speak with Jordyn.
However, when the Kardashian-Jenner clan appeared to have cut their ties both with the 29-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers player and 22-year-old model, it shocked fans when Tristan's name is being mentioned again in the family.
In fact, the Canadian basketball player has already appeared numerous times in the new season of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," which caused the fans to slam the family -- most especially Khloe -- for being a hypocrite.
In one of the most recent clips from the family reality TV series, the 35-year-old "Strong Looks Better Naked" author seconded Tristan's desire to have another kid with her to give their two-year-old daughter, True, a sibling.
Even right after the release of the promo trailer, Khloe had already faced massive backlash for forgiving her cheater-partner and for keeping Jordyn away.
"So they all forgave tristan for cheating on khloe, so they must forgive jordyn too since he kissed her without her consent!" one of the top commenters said that time. "I love all woman's in this family, but I can't agree with hypocrisy #KUWTK."
Because of this, most KUWTK fans theorized that Kylie Jenner's sisters and friends -- including Anastasia Karanikolaou -- willfully kept the former BFF away since they were jealous of the amount of attention she was getting from the beauty mogul.
Fans were also quick to judge the situation as the key to win Kylie's heart and become Jordyn's replacement.
"I'm still mad they sacrificed Jordan for a storyline," one person wrote on Instagram. "Jordan's glow up is awesome to see. She's so beautiful and talented, but we would never know if they didn't try to destroy her. Won't he do it?"
Another one commented: "Kylie liked her or having someone around. The others were jealous of their relationship and the gifts Kylie gave her. They (sisters) spoke about her throwing her friends parties and not them."
Can Kylie, Jordyn Be Friends Again?
Tristan and Khloe seemed to have mended their relationship. In fact, they are currently spending time quarantining together.
Now, fans cannot help but question whether there will still be another chance for the former BFFs to fix their friendship. Kylie. however, is said to have moved on and has a better life after her friendship with Jordyn ended.
"She loves hanging with all her crew of girls now, including Stassie [Karanikolaou], Yris [Palmer] and Victoria [Villarroel]," a source confirmed to Us Weekly while introducing Kylie's new gal pals.
The source then described Kylie's friends as "sweet and down-to-earth," making it even more difficult for Jordyn to enter Kylie's life once again.

Yo listen
I met this girl on Baltic Ave.
And you can tell how she steps on boardwalk,
She was from Park Place
I asked what she was doing on this side of town
She said she had some taxes to pay
I figure I'd take a chance and advance to go
And find out more about
Cause there more to know than the way she ways
And the way that she wears her clothes,
Or the way she plays this game (so cold)
She said she came up rough
And one income was not enough
There'd be nights she'd go to sleep hungry
Cause her mom was always short on food and money
See people used to joke a lot
Tease her bout her clothes not being in style
Dressed in dingy skirts and dirty sneakers
From the finest second hand down Oriental Ave.
But now look at her
She got this game on lock
Anything she ever wanted now she got it
And I've gotta say
And I'm proud to see
That someone like her is in central
Once she graduated junior high she started working overtime
Scrubbing floors or working on assembly lines
Just so she could help her mother out and
After college they moved into Marvin Gardens
And she got a job working at the city water department
To raise enough cash
In move into community chest condos on Pennsylvania Ave
She fell in love with this dude named ray
Who was a small time hustler from St. Charles place
And he was known for always bein in and out of trouble
But the problem was that he was never on her level
She argued with her mom about ray's work
Til he was sent upstate on the same day that she gave birth
But see the baby never made it, it drove her nearly crazy
And she couldn't take it
(Listen) see where she came from
Many people find it hard just to hang on
You often find them in the same place complaining
Instead of finding a better way of maintain
She could have balled up and cry
Wished that she would die
And just gave up on tryin
Instead she grind from the bottom

Sexual Orientation Research Paper
October 5, 2013 UsefulResearchPapers Research Papers 0
The term "sexual orientation" refers to a model of sexual, romantic, or emotional attraction to the opposite sex, same sex or both sexes, which correspondingly are defined as heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. There also unofficially exists the fourth orientation, which is asexuality (lack of sexual, romantic, or emotional attraction to others).
These categories are more nuanced aspects of the nature of sexual identity. For example, some people use other labels, or none. It should be noted that an individual can identify himself according to a certain sexual orientation without agreement to its romantic or sexual behavior model, for example, many people are involved with relationships with people of both sexes to varying degrees, but they do not define themselves as bisexual, heterosexual, or homosexual.
We can write a Custom Research Paper on Sexual Orientation for you!
Sexual orientation is classified according to the sex of the desired partners:
Heterosexual, when it is directed only and exclusively on people of the opposite sex;
Homosexual, when it is directed only and exclusively on people of the same-sex;
Bisexual, when there are relations with people of both sexes to varying degrees;
Asexual, when there is no specific sexual inclination.
The origins of sexual orientation, whether innate or acquired, are attributed by the individual to his personal feelings and ideas, sexual behavior of a person may differ from his orientation. For example, abstinence is not always the result of asexual orientation. People can practice different sexual orientation if they are constrained primarily by social circumstances (submission to authority real or imagined) or physical (incarceration in unisex environment). The possibility of changing the sexual orientation of a person through the influence (psychotherapy, authority, etc.) has not been proved, despite many questionable attempts over the centuries.
In the Preamble of the Yogyakarta Principles, document on the international law of human rights, sexual orientation is understood as an ability of each of profound emotional attraction, emotional and sexual relations with individuals of the opposite sex, the same sex or more than one gender, and intimate and sexual relations with these individuals.
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union prohibits all forms of discrimination, including on grounds of sexual orientation. And in 2012, the High Commissioner of the United Nations Human Rights issued a "Born Free and Equal" document relating to sexual orientation and gender identity in the international law of human rights.
Free sample research papers on sexual orientation can be considered a textbook of scientific writing. The first-time writers, who have small or no experience, may be interested in using these free paper topics to get the idea on how to outline their thesis statement, structure properly the results of their investigation, and to draw an interesting and argumentative conclusion, which would prove the urgency of their work.

Why the 4DS Memory Ltd (ASX:4DS) share price has been crushed today
James Mickleboro | September 20, 2018 | More on: 4DS AKP
One of the worst performers on the local market on Thursday has been the 4DS Memory Ltd (ASX: 4DS) share price.
In early trade the memory storage developer's shares have plunged 43% lower to 6.6 cents.
In early trade the memory storage developer's shares have plunged 43% lower to 6.6 cents.
Why are 4DS Memory's shares being crushed today?
This morning 4DS Memory provided an update on its collaboration with imec, a research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies.
For those that are unaware, the two parties are working together to develop a production-compatible process for the 4DS Interface Switching ReRAM technology for next generation gigabyte storage in mobile and cloud.
According to today's release, the two parties have identified some process modifications required to enhance the development of the second 300mm wafer lot. Management has advised that the planning and development strategy for this wafer lot will begin in the coming weeks and these wafers will be available for analysis in Q1 2019.
Chief executive officer and managing director, Dr Guido Arnout, stated that: "In the Company's transition to production equipment, identical to that utilised by high volume memory manufacturers, imec and 4DS have learnt to rapidly identify necessary modifications in order to de-risk the latter development cycles which we plan to undertake. A major benefit of this early identification is that we can accelerate the whole collaboration process."
While those comments put a positive spin on things, clearly shareholders are disappointed with this development and have hit the sell button in a hurry today. They may be concerned that this is a sign that it won't ultimately be able to demonstrate a production compatible process for its ReRAM technology.
Should you buy the dip?
While this technology could be extremely lucrative if it were to be successfully developed, I would suggest investors sit back and wait to see if that happens.
In many ways, 4DS Memory reminds me a lot of digital speaker developer Audio Pixels Holdings Ltd (ASX: AKP). Audio Pixels has been promising some ground-breaking technology for many years and has failed to deliver anything other than an increasing number of shares outstanding that dilutes existing shareholders.
Instead of those two companies, I would suggest investors look at proven tech shares such as Citadel Group Ltd (ASX: CGL) or Bravura Solutions Ltd (ASX: BVS).

The founders of Citeaux centered their ideals on the desire for authentic monastic simplicity and evangelical poverty. They believed that their inspiration for this renewal could be found in a more literal interpretation of St. Benedict's Rule for Monasteries. On 21 March 1098, Robert, the abbot of the Benedictine abbey of Molesme (France) set out with 21 of his monks to the wilderness of Citeaux to begin the new reformed monastery. In 1100, after Robert returned to Molesme, St. Alberic led the community as abbot. The Cistercian martyrology adds that, "he had a filial devotion to our Lady from whom he received the while cowl."
Pontigny, one of Citeaux's first foundations
St. Stephen Harding, an Englishman who succeeded Alberic as abbot, was the principal architect of the Carta caritatis, a kind of Constitution which bound all the monasteries of the Order to a common observance of rules and customs. This constitution provided for a system of visitation by an overseeing abbot who would ensure the fidelity of each monastery to the spirit and principles of Citeaux, at the same time respecting the autonomy of each house. Furthermore, the abbots of each monastery were required to come to Citeaux annually for a general chapter.
It was St. Stephen Harding who in 1112 received Bernard of Fontaines-les-Dijon and thirty of his relatives as monks of Citeaux. In 1115 the exceptionally charismatic and talented young Bernard was sent to begin a new Cistercian foundation, Clairvaux, in Burgundy. Hereafter he would be known throughout the Christian world as Bernard of Clairvaux. Spearheaded by St. Bernard the Cistercian movement began to spread quickly throughout Europe to include over 500 monasteries by the end of the 13th century.
St Bernard was one of the most commanding leaders of the first half of the 12th century as well as one of the greatest spiritual masters of all times. He was sought after as an advisor and mediator by the ruling powers of his age. More than any other he helped to bring about the healing of the papal schism which arose in 1130 with the election of the antipope Anacletus II. His influence mounted when his spiritual son, the Cistercian monk Bernardo, abbot of Tre Fontane, was elected was elected pope (Eugene III) in 1145.
Cistercians at work
During his 38 years as abbot Bernard personally saw to the establishment of 65 Cistercian monasteries. In spite of intense activity he found time to write extensively on spirituality and theological issues. His spiritual masterpiece, Sermons on the Song of Songs, was begun in 1136 and was still in composition at the time of his death at Clairvaux on 20 August 1153.
Blessed Humbeline
The first Cistercian monastery for women was established at Tart in the diocese of Langres (now Dijon) in 1125, by nuns from the abbey of Jully, a dependence of Molesme, where St. Humbeline, sister of St. Bernard, lived and died. St Stephen Harding established Tart as Citeaux's own daughter house and entrusted it to the pastoral care of the abbot of Citeaux. From then on individual monasteries of women as well as whole federations of nuns sought to ally themselves with the Cistercian monks first in France and then in Spain, where the royal monastery of Las Huelgas was founded in 1180.
William of St Thierry's LIFE of Bernard
From the very beginning Cistercian spirituality proved its fruitfulness in the witness of the saints and spiritual masters that emerged in our monasteries. The four "Evangelists" (spiritual theologians) of Citeaux are considered to be: Bernard of Clairvaux, William of St. Thierry (†1148), Aelred of Rievaulx (†1167), and Guerric of Igny (†1157). Their affective spirituality emphasizing the sacred humanity of Christ was also marked by a distinctive Marian orientation. These themes were further developed in the thirteenth century by the nuns of the Cistercian monastery of Helfta, which was known as "the crown of German convents." Outstanding among these women were St. Gertrude the Great, St. Mechtild of Magdeburg and St Mechtild of Hackeborn.

The series includes records of soirées.
