Q: How can I move the cursor-caret outside of it's active editing element? Context:
I'm working on an in-browser WYSIWYG editor in vanilla javascript, and it's mostly for personal use. However, the document.execCommand standard is obsolete, and I'd like to work on adding bold and italics into my editor.
My editor is a contenteditable
 element, and it separates lines into child
s. When the Enter key is pressed, it automatically creates a new div that is being worked in. That's just the nature of contenteditable.
The Problem:
I can't seem to figure out how to move the cursor caret past the element it's in. What I want to do is get the element, close it, and move to a new one. The way I would guess to do this is append

 to the current element's innerHTML and move the cursor past it with Selection.Modify, but that doesn't seem to work.
If it were the end of the file, I would simply add the tags and move the cursor to the end, but I need it to work within context.
My Code:
html

foo

bar

foobar

js
//get working element if that helps
let element = window.getSelection().anchorNode.parentElement; //useful tool for debugging

//insert text works fine, but can't figure out how to insert element tags into innerHTML
function insertText(text){
    let selection = window.getSelection(); //get selection
    let range = selection.getRangeAt(0);   //get range
    range.deleteContents(); //clear gunk
    let node = document.createTextNode(text); //create a node to append. Problem starts here.
    range.insertNode(node); //insert the node at the cursor
    for(let char of text)
    selection.modify('move','left','character'); //move cursor past inserted text
}

If you can help at all, I'd greatly appreciate it.

A: It had a different issue. The thing I'm working on adds wrappers to words when specific words are found. The problem was, that if I clicked at the end of the marked word, the caret was inside the wrapped element and if I continued typing the new words kept the wrapper style.
So, this is not what you want exactly, but I hope it helps.
Best of luck.
function clickOutside(){
    var nodes = textarea.querySelectorAll("mark");
    for (let n of nodes){
        n.addEventListener("click", function (event){
            if(!n.classList.contains("clicked")){
                co(n);
                n.classList.add("clicked");
            } else if (n.classList.contains("clicked")){
                n.classList.remove("clicked");
            }
        })
    }
}

//relavent part
function co(node){
    var el = node
    var range = document.createRange();
    var sel = window.getSelection();
    range.setStart(el.nextSibling, 0);
    range.collapse(true);
    sel.removeAllRanges();
    sel.addRange(range);
    el.focus();
}

More connectivity and co-operation create greater prosperity – a future-oriented European programme for 120 million people from Ulm to Constanta.
The catchment area of the Danube includes a region of approximately 800.000 km² with 120 million inhabitants, extending over 14 states, among them nine EU-member states (Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania) and five countries which are not EU-members (Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine and Moldova).
Already before the EU enlargements of 2004 and 2007, Austria supported a stronger cooperation between the countries of this region. In 2002, Austria and Romania thus initiated the Danube-Cooperation-Process. It turned out, however, that without a "Europeanization" of this process the efforts in question did not make substantial headway. Therefore, it was again Austria and Romania who took the initiative for the EU-Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR).
The kick off for EUSDR finally took place at the European Council in June 2009 when the European Commission was tasked by the heads of state or government to elaborate a macroregional strategy by the end of 2010, the then second macro-regional strategy of the EU after the Baltic Sea Strategy.
After an intense exchange among representatives of countries, regional bodies and non-governmental stakeholders of the Danube region, the European Commission prepared a strategy paper and an action plan.
This action plan consists of four pillars:
1. Connecting the Danube Region (transport-infrastructure, energy as well as culture and tourism)
2. Protecting the environment in the Danube Region (quality of waters, environmental risks, biodiversity)
3. Building prosperity in the Danube Region (knowledge society through research, education and information technologies, competitiveness of enterprises; to invest in people and skills)
4. Strengthening the Danube Region (institutional capacity and cooperation, as well as security; organised crime)
The four pillars are again divided into eleven priority areas in which institutions from the member countries take over the coordinating role. Austria was entrusted by the European Commission with the coordination in three priority areas with the aim "to improve mobility and multimodality on inland waterways", "to invest in people and skills" and "to step up institutional capacity and cooperation". Austria will coordinate these areas in cooperation with three other countries of the Danube region.
The EU-Strategy for the Danube Region was finally endorsed by the European Council on 24 June 2011. Subsequently, the first two annual fora took place in Regensburg and Bucharest in 2012 and 2013. In the following year, it was Vienna that on 26-27 June 2015 hosted the annual forum which achieved to attract over 1100 participants. Baden-Württemberg currently holds the presidency of the EU-Strategy for the Danube region and will organize the fourth annual forum in Ulm on 29-30 October 2015.
Presently, the Strategy focuses on the following aspects:
Establishment of an office for EUSDR, called the Danube Strategy Point, in Brussels in the first half of 2015.
Development of strategic concepts, in order to ensure effective cross-border co-ordination of national measures aimed at strengthening sustainable and socially just competitiveness in view of der Europe 2020 objectives.
Increase inclusion of civil society and the private sector.
Stepping up political engagement, in order to implement high visibility projects with a substantial employment impact.

'Fire Rokita' sign makers: 'Maybe we're making it so he won't seem so invincible.' Congressman's camp: 'They aren't really looking for a dialogue at all'
Signs targeted at U.S. Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Brownsburg, have been popping up in Greater Lafayette yards in recent weeks.(Photo: Dave Bangert/Journal & Courier)
Those red-white-and-blue suggestions to "Fire Rokita," with the first 150 of the campaign-sized placards sold out and planted in yards mainly in the Greater Lafayette neck of Rep. Todd Rokita's 4th District, are going to a second printing this week.
So look for more to crop up as spring turns to summer.
But to say anyone, on any side of that incendiary comment on our congressman, literally believes there's a chance to apply President Donald Trump's "Apprentice"-era catch phrase to the four-term Republican congressman from Brownsburg would be a stretch.
First, Rokita already is angling for a new job, joining increasingly testy exchanges with U.S. Rep. Luke Messer as the fellow congressmen from Indiana consider runs for the U.S. Senate in 2018. Second, even if he winds up settling for a fifth run in the 4th District, Rokita's a guy – progressive frustration notwithstanding – who has never pulled less than 62 percent of the vote in his first four tries.
"We get that," said Anne Riley. The Lafayette resident helped organize the creation and distribution of the front yard protests born in large part out of failed efforts to get face-to-face, town hall-style meetings with Rokita since the opening days of the Trump administration.
"I'm thinking that maybe in the past he was a sure thing," Riley said. "Nobody on either side would really, seriously challenge him. … Seeing that sign out there, maybe it'll start a conversation and make people think. I mean, I'd be happy with a Republican who'd be willing to listen to us. Maybe we're making it so he won't seem so invincible."
How far is calling out Rokita going to get anyone? That's depends on who you ask, starting with Rokita's camp.
"The very fact that people are putting up 'Fire Rokita' signs would suggest they aren't really looking for a dialogue at all," said Tim Edson, a spokesman for the congressman. "It looks more like they are running a political operation or an opposition campaign."
Edson said Rokita has been "willing to hear out and help all 4th District Hoosiers." That, he said, didn't mean Rokita was going to turn from what he said he'd do all along during the 2016 campaign – and the ones before that, actually.

"Rep. Rokita understands that after eight years of President Obama's unflinching commitment to their liberal ideology and Obama's unwillingness to compromise with Republicans, the new situation in Washington takes some getting used to," Edson said. "But 65 percent of 4th District Hoosiers who voted for Rep. Rokita in November 2016 want a different direction. Those people want to see the country change course."
The thought of more signs popping up – reminiscent of the flashes of "Fire Mike Pence" that started to take hold toward the end of the former governor's first term – brought a more nuanced reaction from Mike O'Brien, the 4th District chairman for the Indiana Republican Party. Part of his job would be to backfill the 4th District seat with fresh candidates if Rokita jumps into the Senate race. ("There are names," O'Brien said, "but I have to say it's pretty quiet on that front so far.")
"I think it's unlikely that the 4th District is going to flip in a wave year. … This is a real Republican, conservative state, and it's just grown more so since 2010," said O'Brien, who lives in Hendricks County, west of Indianapolis in the southern part of the district.
"Still, I think Republicans really need to pay attention to these local protests," O'Brien said. "It's one thing when national groups come to town, and they spend a bunch of money and it's a traveling circus and they're off to the next battleground state. That wasn't the case for the tea party in 2009 or 2010, and I don't think it's the case for a lot of these protests today. I think we need to take them seriously – not just roll our eyes and think this is just a flash in the pan."
The first signs were printed in mid-May, available for $9.35 at www.firerokita.org.
Progressive voters had been simmering and organizing – calling congressional offices daily, in many cases – since Trump's inauguration. They've been pressing Rokita for a town hall since then, in part to gauge how closely he'd align with all things Trump. In February, several hundred came to the West Lafayette Public Library for an event billed as the "Congressional Town Hall With or Without Rep. Rokita," just to plot a strategy to get their questions to the congressman if and when he did come to Greater Lafayette.
"He has refused to hold a town hall all year despite multiple requests throughout the district," said Lisa Dullum, who helped in the sign effort. "However, he does have time to attend fundraisers outside his district."
Riley said the final straw was Rokita's May 4 vote on the American Health Care Act, the House effort to replace the Affordable Care Act. Rokita has made no secret, in campaign speeches and actual votes for years, that he was willing to do anything to dismantle Obamacare.
"I understand that Mr. Rokita claims to be a conservative, but his recent vote for the AHCA without a full understanding of its impact – no public hearings or (Congressional Budget Office) scoring – is not how a conservative should behave," Dullum said. "We now know that he voted for a bill that would result in 23 million Americans losing health insurance. Our friends, our families and our neighbors would be hurt."
"And Rep. Rokita just seemed so gleeful about it that day," Riley said. "We were all in a room, and someone said, 'I want to see signs everywhere that say, 'Fire Rokita.' And that was the start."
As the order for a second batch of signs heads to the printer – Dullum says the plan is to get them wider than Tippecanoe County and a few in Jasper and Hendricks counties – the question is: If Rokita came for a town hall, would it be constructive?
Riley said she'd like to see Rokita "have to think on his feet," rather than reply to her questions with form letters "that seem to be dismissive and condescending."
"I'd like to have him show that he represents people who don't necessarily agree with him, too," said Riley, who suggested putting a forum into the hands of a group such as the League of Women Voters and its structured Q&A sessions. "I would hope we'd have a moderating influence like that."
O'Brien contends that Rokita hasn't been hiding.
"I've seen him out," O'Brien said. "Now, should he organize a forum where he makes it really easy for people who are never going to be for him to yell at him and put it on social media? No. He shouldn't do that. It's a total trap. … There has to be a better way."
Edson's thought from Rokita's office: "It's unfortunate that many of the people demanding a public forum to disrupt chose not to attend any of the 84 town halls and forums Rep. Rokita has had over the past six years where he had civil, substantive dialogue with his constituents."
Rokita's most recent public events included a Congress on Your Corner listening session outside the Tippecanoe County Courthouse in June 2016 and a post-election stop at a coffeehouse on Wabash Avenue during a November tour that included 16 cities over a day and a half.
"I feel the stakes have changed since then," Riley said. "The stakes seem a lot larger right now."
The sign in her yard says so.

6/17/14 – Yamaha Winning Captain
Congratulations to Capt. John Herron of Margate, NJ, the winner of a brand new Yamaha F200 In-Line Four valued at over $19,000. Capt. John's name was drawn from the bin during the awards ceremony at the 34th Annual South Jersey Shark Tournament on June 7th at South Jersey Marina in Cape May.
A limited run of just 200 tickets were sold for this special drawing, in which the folks at Yamaha donated an F200 four-stroke to tournament organizers to help raise money for the Recreational Fishing Alliance (RFA) and America's right to fish.
"Thanks to everyone who supported RFA through this special event, even if you didn't win the new Yamaha you still win in terms of our efforts to keep you fishing," said RFA executive director Jim Donofrio.
Capt. John runs a back bay fishing charter boat called the Keeper out of Margate which he says is ready for new power. "Every four years I get two new engines from Corky Campbell, always Yamahas," said Captain John. "This is the year I'm supposed to get new engines, so this should work out perfectly."
An active RFA member and supporter, Capt. John also keeps a Regulator down in Key West for the offseason fishing, and said Yamaha engines are on that stern as well. He said he easily puts 3,000 hours on his engines before he sells them, and the new owners typically add another 3,000 hours on them which he says "these engines are just unstoppable."
RFA congratulates Capt. John on his big win, and reminds coastal anglers that there are plenty of outstanding tournament fishing coming up this season in support of your right to fish.
"There are several fishing tournaments scheduled this summer that support the RFA, and we encourage anglers to get into the action," said Donofrio. "And next year, keep an eye on the Yamaha engine giveaway at South Jersey Marina, $100 for a 100-1 shot at 3,000 hours of outstanding fishing, not bad."

In the foreign scene, not many names are more storied than Nerchio's. To say that the landscape has changed around him is an understatement. In the tempestuous landscape of foreign Starcraft, it is telling that after half a decade in the competitive spotlights, he still climbs ever higher. In 2016, Nerchio won Dreamhack Valencia, placed top four at a WCS event and made the finals of another WCS event before losing in an exhausting seven game series. He made headway against Korean opponents, notably at the KeSPA Cup and at a number of other events, and posted a match winrate of 82% that bordered on the ridiculous. 2017 started off as the year before had ended, with him taking a close second at WCS Austin and looking once again like the absolute best zerg in the west. Then he lost to PtitDrogo in a soul-crushing 0-3 in Jönköping, and lost again when he faced his rival Elazer - who went on to win the entire event, cementing his WCS champion status ahead of Nerchio. Last year, that would have seemed unthinkable. Now, it wouldn't be controversial to call Elazer the more versatile and adaptable player, or that he has ultimately achieved more. It is there where Nerchio's story is born; in the unexpected moments where primes fade away and are promptly shuffled away, into the hoary past.
"In the foreign scene, not many names are more storied than Nerchio's."
After a year lined with hopes and great moments, the births of many rivalries and the crowning of Nerchio as one of the WCS circuit's greatest, it was tough to say where he would go from there. Greatness is tough to quantify, harder yet to predict. It is an unpredictable, almost mysterious flow. All is equal in a competitive tournament scene, and one's own successes - or lack thereof - from prior years rarely hold weight once the calendar changes a digit. To some people, this leaves the tournament circuit feeling like an annual reconquest, and endless repetition of the same cycle of claiming the throne and defending it from whoever would claim it. To others, it is constant pressure, always reminding them of how close they are to failure. Look at ShoWTimE. He was on top of the world, having defeated the world champion ByuN at Blizzcon and becoming the first foreigner to win a WCS event, and consistently looking like a top three foreigner. Now he isn't at Blizzcon at all, eliminated from the contest by Kelazhur, one rising star darkening another.
To say that Nerchio followed the same path as ShoWTimE isn't true; in fact, the Global Finals acted as a prophecy for Nerchio. It was there where he lost to Elazer, and the crown slipped from his head. There's a pragmatic lesson in that: the imagined crown we dub greatness isn't real. It isn't a championship trophy to be clutched tight, that remains no matter how far its champion falls from successes of the past. It isn't one of those famous Dreamhack celebratory videos, to be rewatched whenever one needs a reminder of what the moment felt like. It is temporary. Greatness rusts. All forms, no matter how consistent the player or how unbelievable the streak, eventually end.
But that's not to say that Nerchio was a failure the moment the calendar changed; by standards he set himself, his run in Austin was fantastic. With it, the hope that Nerchio could move past his failures at Blizzcon to once more become one of the greatest foreigners in the scene re-ignited. In Jönköping, he came apart at the seams. His ZvT, previously the gem in his crown, the one thing everyone complimented, fell apart. He lost to Semper and only narrowly advanced over TIME. He was promptly crushed by PtitDrogo. Worse? None of these three players are at Blizzcon this year. None of them even came all that close. WCS Jönköping was not a fluke for any of them, no event they will look back to as their moment. Beyond defeating Nerchio, WCS Jönköping was nothing special for any of them. Nerchio did not lose to breakout stars. He lost to players that, by his standards, he shouldn't have lost to.
In context, WCS Valencia was for Nerchio as a bandaid helps an evisceration, and even though his ZvT looked a lot cleaner and he was able to make the quarterfinals, it still proved brittle. Bitter. Should this truly be a 'step forward' for Nerchio? Losing to Elazer - previously a heart-breaking upset - and having to watch as his Polish rival ascended the steps and won the event instead of him? What happened there, in the very same city that gave Nerchio his trophy - albeit not the trophy he wanted - gave him a bitter aftertaste a year later. In difficult times, it is often the best choice to reforge one's self; to reflect upon one's faults and one's mistakes, to grow and to evolve. It is the thematic role of the Zerg race, and the very real responsibility of any striving player. Adapt or abandon. Evolve, or be eliminated. But Nerchio had nowhere to go. His ZvP form, which saw him eliminated from three premier tournaments, did not play into the rest of the year. From Jönköping until now, he has only played a single ZvP game in a major offline event- a single map against Stats, which he lost. The entirety of his results have rested on his ZvT and ZvZ, and all three of his eliminations since have occurred in the mirror matchup.
Legacy of the Void has never allowed Nerchio any peace in the mirror match-up. It's the one matchup where his scientific dismembering of the metagame doesn't work, where instinct and mentality reign supreme. In 2016 alone he was eliminated from four events in 5-game ZvZ series, including a reverse-sweep by Snute and a heart-breaking game-5 failure against Scarlett in Montreal. Add to that his collapse against Elazer in Blizzcon, plus his recent trio of disappointments against Elazer, Dark and TRUE this year. ZvZ has been the source of so much of his heartbreak that it is difficult to see him overcoming it. Every king is defined by battles they have fought, just as they are defined by what they will fight. For Nerchio, his battle comes dressed in blood red; Rogue and soO, two clever Korean zergs who are likely to enact past heartaches anew. There is no unearned throne here. There is no plastic crown fit for a king. You can carry the real crown, that which follows the trophy, or have no crown at all.
The last time Nerchio came to the Global Finals, he had enough success blowing in his sails that he could say that his year would be remembered fondly, regardless of performance. This year, he is none so fortunate. If he falters here, he will be forgotten. But if he rises, he is forgiven. Because this is what matters. This is what sleepless nights and grueling practice sessions lead to. The one moment where all that stands between success and failure is a handful of series. It's cruel fate for one's year to depend so much on so little, but in Nerchio's case, that may be fortunate - unlike last year, there isn't so much to lose. He's struggled before. He's felt what it feels like to lose at Blizzcon and feel that magnetic tug of defeat. That nagging voice in the back of one's head, forever doubting, forever shaming. Nerchio has no taste for it.
It's time to feel what it is like to win.
I am a slave of Golden from now on. Obey a supreme leader of StarCraft 2 or you get banned. I am really glad to be citizen of Democratic republic of Golden.
Nerchio Neeb will change the perception of foreigners.
If he falters here, he will be forgotten.
Nerchio might be better, but Snute is better at handling koreans.
Nerchio 13 is a blasphemy. Anyone who is responsible for that is hereby banned from Poland.
Haha, so true. And he will also be at BlizzCon next year!
His group is really tough, but I you can never count Nerchio out. Would be sick if the king showed up with goldy zvz and advanced.
Honestly, of the remaining players only Snute could probably be lower than Nerchio. I think it's completely fair to rank Neeb, Elazer, Serral and the Koreans above Nerchio right now.
To be fair, I honestly thought that Nerchio did better this year than he actually did. I guess I still have the 2016 results fixed in my mind.
Snute made back to back WCS Finals in Valencia and Montreal. Nerchio was eliminated in the quarterfinals. Snute ranks above Nerchio. Liquid bias.
At this point it's funny.
Nerchio started this year quite well. Starting with nation wars, carrying Poland to the finals (being the nail in the coffin each time Poland was in trouble) and winning 4 maps there while losing 2 in the 4-5 defeat to Korea.
In the WESG he almost beat Neeb who finished 3rd in that tournament.
Then Katowica, he was one of the 2 foreigners who made it to the top12 (many others were close I must say).
Austing was good for him. But since, his results weren't that good. A shoutcraft kings run was the only impressive thing he did since then, apart for qualifying to all the WCS events through the qualifiers.
I'm not surprised with Nerchio being 13, and if Major had done better in Montreal I'm quite sure Nerchio would have been 14.
But I don't count him out of blizzcon, since he can surprise opponents as well, and his ZvZ is still impressive. He beat Serral in the Montreal qualifiers, and made it through the qualifiers to all the events this year, which is usually done through ZvZs, as there are many zergs on EU. 6 months ago his ZvZ was very impressive, beating serral then in Katowica wasn't even a surprise, and if he did the effort to be in top form for blizzcon he can definitely be a dark horse there with 2 KR zergs in his group (as the underdog I guess he is happy with that).
Really only difference between Nerchio and Snute is ZvZ. Nerchio definitely hasn't been on point last few months, netting him "early" WCS eliminations, but they are virtually the same in the other 2 matchups.
Snute has a higher ZvT winrate, but Nerchio's ZvZ is actually MUCH better in this time window.
Their ZvP is virtually the same (0.61 percent point off) and they both have talked about the dislike of the matchup.
Nerchio and Snute atm are as even as it gets honestly, I'd argue that Snute would've have reached any WCS final if he had played any decent Protoss, but obviously it's all speculation and he did show very strong ZvZ vs Elazer in both of his final runs, while Nerchio flopped early against TRUE.
In any case, it's hard to argue for one over the another and you definitely can't argue for Nerchio over Snute based just on offline performance.
I'd also say that it's hard to rank any of them higher than 13/14, in light of their inability to beat Protoss.
The article was a nice read . Good recap of Artur's 2017.
I didn't cover it as much as I would've liked because it was hard to get a good angle on, but I think Nerchio's group is pretty doable. ZvZ is likely his most comfortable matchup as of right now, and while soO and Rogue are good at it, I don't think they're without faults, and they don't have the relentless confidence of Dark. Nerchio can certainly redeem his struggling year if he can come out as the confident, skilled ZvZer he can be at times - but he can also be stomped if he falters for the 80th time in the matchup.
I hope both neeb and nerchio get out of their groups and play each other at blizzcon, chances are so low but I love some good nerchio salt when neeb beats Z.
I like to see "Snute" storyline too.

Netflix and Zak Hilditch (1922) are teaming up again to make a thriller titled RATTLESNAKE. So far, the cast is Carmen Ejogo (Selma), Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy), and Emma Greenwell (Shameless) starring in the project. The general synopsis is a single mother accepts the help of a stranger after her daughter is bitten by a rattlesnake. She is then forced to return the favor by killing a random stranger in Tulia, Texas. Seems like an interesting premise.
I rather enjoyed Thomas Jane's performance in 1922. The film as a whole was good. It had just the right amount of grit and was filthy as hell. Some people remarked that Thomas Jane's accent ruined the film because they couldn't take it seriously. If the film is taken seriously then I understand their sentiment but I just can't seem to treat it as such. The characters are stereotypes of what outsiders assume people who live that way of life act. This film seems to me to be a folktale, complete with lessons and morals. Based on the synopsis of RATTLESNAKE, it seems Zak is sticking to that type of story, a cautionary tale when one chooses to venture into the unknown.

Yahoo is now officially a Verizon company. Here's what that means for you
It's official: Yahoo is no longer an independent company.
As of today, Verizon ($VZ) is now the (proud?) owner of the once-popular website and most of its assets, after paying $4.5 billion to acquire Yahoo. By the end of the week, the troubled web company will stop trading on the stock exchange. Yahoo will complete its journey from one of the biggest internet companies on the planet to just another media brand.
How did the company get to this point? You could say it was a series of choke jobs, failures to keep up with the times, and numerous other missteps taken over more than a decade. One could also simply point to the aging of the company's demographic and introduction of better services that rendered Yahoo redundant. Nonetheless, the company is no longer a company. It is a Verizon subsidiary.
For the time being, Yahoo is still a publicly traded stock with shareholders. They also have hundreds of millions of existing users. What do today's events mean for them?
Yahoo and AOL are combining into a company called OATH.
Verizon bought Yahoo for the sole purpose of combining it with AOL, another aging internet relic. Each site's channels will likely be combined into one. For instance, Yahoo and AOL both have finance sections, with Yahoo Finance being the most popular. Chances are AOL's finance section could go the way of the dodo, or AOL's finance staff could be pared down and combined with that of Yahoo. After all, with a 15% reduction in total staff between both companies, every department will likely face cuts.
Verizon has yet to say what OATH will mean for Yahoo and AOL users, though they could keep both companies' logins separate. They could also create a new, unified login for OATH sites. Regardless, if you use either company for email, your account isn't going anywhere. Verizon needs existing users to stay on the platform to justify their acquisitions.
Yahoo's stock no longer exists as of this Friday.
$YHOO went public on April 19, 1996. On June 16, 2017, the stock will no longer exist. The Yahoo assets will go to Verizon, and the company's remaining assets — mainly Yahoo Japan and their stake in Alibaba — will become a separate publicly traded entity. This entity, called Altaba, will start trading on Monday of next week.
What does this mean for shareholders?
We're not exactly sure. We spent hours combing through investor relations documents, analysts reports, and more. From what we gathered, Yahoo will buy back around $3 billion in shares from existing shareholders at a fixed price (under $50.79). The rest of the existing shares will (probably) be converted into Altaba stock on Monday. Time will tell what happens, but existing Yahoo shareholder will either get money or shares in exchange for their loyalty.
What about CEO Marissa Mayer?
Despite losing billions in value over the last decade-plus, Mayer did some good with Yahoo. She bought Tumblr, a major blogging/social networking site. She modernized the company's dated online channels. Yet despite her best efforts, she couldn't make the site into a sustainable business, as the company lost 50% of their employees and the bulk of their ad revenue since she started.
Mayer will receive $23 million in compensation when she departs Yahoo today. This bonus is for Mayer's time at the company and her efforts to negotiate the now-completed acquisition. This means she made a total of $239 million in stock, stock options, and cash during her tenure at the company.
Should you invest in Altaba?
Altaba is a holding company that owns a minority ownership in Yahoo Japan (still a popular site) and Alibaba. If you want to invest in Alibaba, you might be better off investing directly in the company ($BABA). If you want to invest in Yahoo Japan, you can also invest in SoftBank ($9984), its other owner. Altaba could acquire more companies and become more than just a holding company in the future, though no one really knows the company's future plans. If you're dead-set on investing in Altaba, you might want to wait to see their announcements on Monday.

Infidel: My Life
Book by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Mijn Vrijheid
Published in English

The Caged Virgin
Nomad: From Islam to America
Infidel (2006/published in English 2007) is the autobiography of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-Dutch activist and politician. Hirsi Ali has attracted controversy and death threats were made against Ali in the early 2000s.[1][2]
2.1 Praise
2.2 Criticism
Hirsi Ali writes about her youth in Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and Kenya; about her flight to the Netherlands where she applied for political asylum, her university experience in Leiden, her work for the Labour Party, her transfer to the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, her election to Parliament, and the murder of Theo van Gogh, with whom she made the film Submission. The book ends with a discussion of the controversy regarding her application for asylum and status of her citizenship.
Praise[edit]
The launch of the book in the Netherlands was considered a success, with the initial print run selling out in two days.[3] A review in de Volkskrant concluded that "anyone who discovers Hirsi Ali's tumultuous history can only sympathise with her".[1] The German edition of the book, Mein Leben, meine Freiheit ("My Life, My Freedom"), debuted in the top 20 of the bestseller list of Der Spiegel.[3][4]
The book was also well received upon the release of the English edition in 2007. Reviewing the book for The Sunday Times, Christopher Hitchens called it a "remarkable book."[5] Hitchens provided a foreword to the 2008 paperback edition.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anne Applebaum, writing in The Washington Post, said "Infidel is a unique book, Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a unique writer, and both deserve to go far."[6] A review in The New York Times described the book as a "brave, inspiring and beautifully written memoir".[7] In an interview, Newsweek editor Fareed Zakaria described it as "an amazing book by an amazing person".[8]
Criticism[edit]
Reporter Lorraine Ali in Newsweek magazine gave the book a negative review, claiming that the reader will feel "manipulated" by Hirsi's story. She said that "Hirsi Ali is more a hero among Islamophobes than Islamic women." She also said that Hirsi sounds as "single-minded and reactionary as the zealots she's worked so hard to oppose.".[9]

The U.S. fertilizer industry directly employs more than 24,800 people to produce $15.1 billion in output.
The total economic contribution of the industry was $57.8 billion. The total number of jobs provided was 244,500.
These jobs had an average compensation of $76,000, which was almost 80 percent greater than the U.S. average compensation across all industries.
Farmers must have fertilizers in order to continue to produce a stable food supply. Commercial fertilizer nutrients are currently responsible for 40 to 60 percent of the world's food supply.
During the last decade, 26 U.S. ammonia plants have closed primarily due to high natural gas prices.
High natural gas prices have already raised the fertilizer costs for farmers, which has been a major factor in the rapidly rising production costs in agriculture.
Currently, the U.S. imports approximately 85 percent of potash and 55 percent of the nation's nitrogen needs. Of these imports, 83 percent comes from countries without a cap and trade regime in place to regulate carbon.
Under H.R. 2454, the price of natural gas is expected to increase dramatically. Every $3 increase in the price of natural gas adds more than $1 billion to the cost of nitrogen production.
Such increases in the cost of production will put this American industry at a competitive disadvantage with other countries, which do not have a cap-and-trade system in place.

It's Not Me, It's You ist das zweite Album der britischen Pop-Sängerin Lily Allen. Es wurde 2008 mehrheitlich in den Eagle Rock Studios in Los Angeles mit Produzent Greg Kurstin aufgenommen, der schon bei drei Songs des Debütalbums beteiligt war. Hier ist er auch als Songwriter an allen Songs beteiligt.

Zum Album
Allen stellte schon früh erste Versionen verschiedener Songs auf ihrer MySpace-Seite bereit. So erschien die spätere Single The Fear als I Don't Know, während das letztlich expliziter betitelte Fuck You als Guess Who Batman, Get with the Brogram und dann nur GWB erschien. Der Song Who'd Have Known hätte zunächst nicht auf dem Album erscheinen dürfen, weil er zu sehr dem Lied Shine von Take That ähnelte, nachdem die Band jedoch ihre Erlaubnis gegeben hatte, kam es doch zur Veröffentlichung. Im Mai 2008 gab Allen bekannt, dass das Album bald erscheinen solle, jedoch hielt das Label das Album zurück, so dass es erst im Februar 2009 erschien.

Kommerziell war das Album sehr erfolgreich und gelangte bei seinem Erscheinen sofort auf Platz 1 der britischen Charts, ebenso in Australien. Auch im Rest der Welt gab es hohe Charts-Platzierungen, darunter die Top 10 in den USA und die Top 20 in Deutschland; insgesamt hat sich das Album mehr als 1,3 Millionen Mal verkauft. Auch die Singles erwiesen als sehr erfolgreich, sowohl The Fear als auch Not Fair wurden internationale Hits. Zudem erregte Fuck You (das wegen seines Titels nicht überall erschien) wegen seines künstlerisch gefeierten Videos von Arnaud & Clément Aufsehen. Im Lied geht es um George W. Bush. Allen wirft ihm vor, rassistisch und homophob zu sein. Der Song wurde auch unter den zensierten Titeln Guess Who Batman, Get With the Brogram oder GWB bekannt.

Bei Kritikern kam das Album teils gut, teils weniger gut an, einige konstatierten eine gewisse Müdigkeit und Lustlosigkeit bei Allen, jedoch wurde ihr trotzdem erneut eine Fähigkeit zur Produktion unterhaltsamer und bissiger Pop-Songs nachgesagt.

Senior officers should publicly declare all contact with journalists as Lord Justice Leveson proposes an end to "off the record" briefings.
The Appeal Court judge was it was "certainly remarkable that Parliament might have provided greater protection for journalistic material than in relation to legal professional privilege as a matter of general law".
All officers of the rank of commander or assistant chief constable and above should have to "record all of their contact with the media" and make it publicly available, the report added.
So-called "off the record" briefings should also be scrapped amid public concern, "not least owing to the perception that certain journalists were favoured with information in exchange for hospitality or other tangible benefits", Lord Justice Leveson said.
"I am concerned about the lack of clarity inherent in the use of the term and in the precise information to which it refers," he said.
Instead, they should be replaced with briefings which are either embargoed to a particular time or completely non-reportable briefings covering the background of cases or operations.
These terms "more neutrally describe what are legitimate police and media interactions", he said.
Guidance for forces taking the press on operations should also be strengthened and, more generally, "I think that it should be made abundantly clear that save in exceptional and clearly identified circumstances, the names or identifying details of those who are arrested or suspected of a crime should not be released to the press nor the public", he added.
It was also "good practice" for a press officer to be present "in circumstances where policy or organisation matters may be on the agenda for discussion", the judge said.
Senior officers' records of their contact with the media "need be no more than a very brief note to the effect that a conversation has taken place and the subject matter of that conversation", his report said.
Chief Constable Andy Trotter, the lead on communications for the Association of Chief Police Officers, said it would consider all the recommendations carefully.
"Police should have a professional, open and transparent relationship with the public and the media," he said.
Journalists who feel under pressure from their editors to get stories through unethical methods should have access to a whistle-blowing hotline to report their concerns, the report said.
Lord Justice Leveson also said publishers should be encouraged to introduce a "conscience clause" into journalists' contracts that would protect them if they refused to break their code of practice.
This represents a victory for the National Union of Journalists (NUJ), which had called for such a measure to protect journalists who feel they are being forced to behave unethically.
Unexpectedly, the move received the backing of Rupert Murdoch, the News Corporation chairman and chief executive, who told the inquiry it was a "good idea", although he would not want to implement it through the NUJ.
Lord Justice Leveson said in his report: "I was struck by the evidence of journalists who felt that they might be put under pressure to do things that were unethical or against the code.
Michelle Stanistreet, the NUJ's general secretary, welcomed the recommendation, saying: "Now is the time to build a solid framework that gives journalists the confidence and the security to put their head above the parapet and take a stand for ethical journalism.


The sternest test of his reign as IBF welterweight champion was just over four weeks away when Boxing Monthly spoke to Kell Brook. You might have expected 'Special K' to be nervous, or perhaps even apprehensive.
This certainly was not the case though. The 30-year-old was calm, relaxed, supremely confident, and at ease enough to jokingly remark that his preparations were going "rubbish".
Despite his cheerful demeanour, Brook was not underestimating the threat that Errol Spence Jr poses ahead of their fight on 27 May at Bramall Lane football ground, home of Sheffield United. In fact, Brook holds his opponent in high regard.
That glowing assessment should not be misconstrued as self-doubt. While Brook rates Spence as a very good fighter, he believes himself to be a superior one. Three years Spence's senior, and a professional eight years longer than his rival, who has yet to go the 12-round distance, Brook believes the gulf in experience will simply be insurmountable for Spence.
Brook also maintains that that he will produce the best performance of his career. While such claims are not uncommon in the build-up to big fights, Brook's statement has more credence than most. To date, his biggest opportunities have come away from The Steel City — Shawn Porter in California and Gennady Golovkin in London. Now, for the first time, Brook is in a fight of real significance in his home city. Rather than feeling the weight of expectation, Brook believes the partisan crowd will help to elevate his performance.
"He's never fought anything at all that comes close to me," Brook said. "I'll be a different animal in this fight. I'm fighting at the home of my own football team, I'm back home in Sheffield in front of people I know. I'm a true warrior so I'm going to go out there [and] execute what I'm supposed to do.
Brook is under no illusions and knows he may well have to be at his best to retain his title. The point was stressed to him by his promoter, Eddie Hearn, who recommended a move up to super welterweight. The extra seven pounds would take less of a toll on Brook physically — his battles to make the welterweight limit are well documented — and allow him to face fighters who presented a better risk-to-reward ratio. But Brook was insistent. He had waited too long for his crack at the title.
The dangers of fighting whilst weight-drained are already well known to Brook. For his first encounter with Carson Jones, Brook — by his own admission — made the weight all wrong. For the first six rounds, he displayed his usual finesse, for the final six, he displayed great fortitude as he bravely fought off his oncoming opponent despite suffering from a broken nose and exhaustion.
Since that fight, Brook has worked with a nutritionist to prevent such issues occurring again, but having only gone the 12-round distance once since — against Porter almost three years ago — Brook is honest enough to admit that he simply doesn't know if he still possesses the endurance required to go the distance after getting down to the welterweight limit.
To ensure he is in peak physical condition, Brook has once again based himself in Fuerteventura, trading in the fog, rain and wind of the former epicentre of British steel in favour of the Spanish sunshine. As well as the advantages of more favourable weather, Brook also reaps the rewards of being in an environment free of distractions, solely focused on boxing, surrounded by his gym-mates.
Due to the many benefits afforded to him abroad, Brook will spend the majority of his training camp on the second largest of the Canary Islands, leaving his friends and his partner and two daughters behind in Britain. While this separation is not easy, Brook draws motivation from it.
This training camp will be in stark contrast to his last, where he had increased focus on weight training and was able to eat frequently as he jumped up two weight classes to face Gennady Golovkin.
Initially, Brook seemed destined to face then-WBO champion Jessie Vargas, while Chris Eubank Jr looked set to take on GGG. Ultimately, both negotiations stalled, stagnated and eventually broke down, only for Brook to step up to face Golovkin, a decision Brook says he accepted without hesitation.
While his acceptance of the Golovkin fight may have been almost instantaneous, the magnitude of the task began to dawn on Brook as the weeks passed by. Golovkin's streak of 22 consecutive knockout victories instilled healthy caution in Brook. Yet despite the lauded punch-power of his opponent, Brook never lost faith that he could win.
Although Brook was ahead on one judge's scorecard and level on the other two, he believes trainer Dominic Ingle did the right thing in throwing in the towel in the fifth round, especially as it was later discovered that Brook had suffered a broken eye socket.
As a result, the man from the Steel City now has a titanium plate to replace the shattered bone. Brook has been assured by his surgeon — fittingly named Mohammed Ali — that there is no risk of the injury reoccurring, and that the area around his right eye is stronger than ever.
Recovery from the psychological wounds of defeat took longer than the physical damage. Brook went into the Golovkin fight with the longest unbeaten record of any active British fighter. He admits he struggled to come to terms with his first loss.
Given the profound effect that defeat had on Brook, it is perhaps surprising that he shunned the route of least resistance for his next fight. For Brook, it is simple: He wants to prove himself. It is why he chose to face Golovkin and it is why he is fighting Spence.
With the exception of the Golovkin bout, career-defining fights have eluded Brook. Unifications have failed to come to fruition, and the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have been beyond his reach. Even a fight that ostensibly makes perfect sense, against British rival Amir Khan, has been repeatedly bogged down by boxing politics.
Brook is weary of this. He hopes that victory over Spence can be the catalyst to securing the contests he craves. He has one fighter in particular in his sights — Keith Thurman, the WBC and WBA champion. Brook would be willing to put himself through the rigours of making 147lbs one more time if a bout with Thurman could be arranged.
"I just want to get my gloves on and have a fight," Brook said. "I don't want to get involved with all the politics and why it can't happen. It's spoiling the sport. It's not nice to have a loss on your record but it's like the UFC. A load of people turn out to see two great fighters. They might have a few losses on their records, but they know it's going to be a great fight.

A: Twilio developer evangelist here.
Looks like you need to update your send_sms function to include the media url. Something like this should work:
<?php
    function send_sms($number,$message,$media_url){
        global $client,$fromNumber;
        $sms = $client->account->messages->create(array(
            'To' => $number,
            'From' => $fromNumber,
            'Body' => $message,
            'MediaUrl' => $media_url
        );
        return $sms->sid;
    }
?>

Notably, I've updated the call from $client->account->sms_messages->create because the sms_messages resource is deprecated and cannot send media messages. Using $client->account->messages->create uses the newer Messages resource and means you will be able to send media messages.
Let me know if this helps at all.

Two militants died in the attempt to wrest control from the fugitive warlord.
They got wind of it just in time. There was a clash and two people were killed.
Regional intelligence officials told the publication the exchange of fire between the militants during the attempted coup was a planned move to wrest control from Baghdadi.
Jazairi is described as a veteran foreign fighter, and a senior member of the terror group.
An intelligence official said: "They got wind of it just in time. There was a clash and two people were killed.
"This was the foreign fighter element, some of his most trusted people."
Hundreds of Isis fighters have surrendered and thousands of their relatives and other civilians fled eastern Syria in January.
Last November, The Sun Online joined battle-hardened Syrian soldiers as they targeted the warlord's henchmen and family in eastern Syria - near where al-Baghdadi was thought to be hiding out.
That operation came weeks after the so-called 'Invisible Sheikh' ordered the execution of 320 of his followers for disloyalty from his secret bolthole, which was said to be close to the Iraqi border.
"In other battles, the jihadists had other places to run to, but in Hajin they have nowhere to go," said Commander Havel Ronnie Walat of the Syrian Democratic Forces, which has been fighting ISIS since 2012.
"(And) here it is only the true believers left and they will fight to the death," he chillingly added.
In addition to al-Baghdadi's relatives many of those still in the area are thought to be the most dedicated of the foreign fighters.
"About two months ago we captured this British doctor. He was trying to get to escape to Turkey," recalled Havel Ronnie.
ISIS has lost virtually all the territory it once held in Syria and Iraq.
Iraqi militias said yesterday that they have launched dozens of missiles targeting Islamic State militants holed up in a Syrian village across the border.
Hundreds of militants are now confined to a small area where they are surrounded by Syrian fighters backed by US-led airstrikes.
American president Donald Trump said the militants will have lost all their territory by next week.
He said the US will not relent in fighting remnants of the extremist organisation despite his decision to withdraw American troops from Syria over the objections of some of his top national security advisers.
The Associated Press said today that the Guantanamo Bay detention centre would receive new prisoners for the first time in more than a decade.
This is one option being considered as America withdraws its forces from Syria and works to resolve the fate of hundreds of captured suspected Islamic State fighters, officials say.
US-backed Syrian fighters have custody of nearly 1,000 suspected ISIS fighters who the State Department said should be sent back to their home countries and prosecuted.

Sonic Frontiers new combat trailer is now live
Warhammer 40K: Darktide is a violent delight | Hands-on preview
A lot of effort is going in to making Dead Space an incredible remake
by Chris White on October 14, 2022
Since 2008, Dead Space has become a huge IP in its own right, spawning multiple sequels and spin-off titles, comics, novels, and animated movies. However, by the time Dead Space 3 released, it became more focused on action than the survival horror seen in the original. We were recently shown a presentation held by Roman Campos Oriola, the Creative Director for the new Dead Space remake coming out in January 23. He was very clear that the intention with this remake was to return to the series' roots, and doing so in a host of exciting ways.
From the trailer released recently, it's clear that this ground up remake using the Frostbite Engine is not just bringing the game into the modern audience, it is faithfully remaking a much-loved horror classic and making it even better than it was before. Oriola detailed various improvements than fans will lose their minds over. For starters, the once voiceless protagonist AKA Isaac Clarke, the most unluckiest space engineer in the galaxy, with be voiced by Gunner Wright, the man responsible for bringing the character to life in the second and third mainline titles.
Another new feature that sounds devilishly wicked and utterly bonkers is the Necromorph Peeling System. Fundamentally, enemies will shed their skin as you attack them, or their bones will break in glorious detail. As Oriola said, it focuses on a "strategic severing of limbs under pressure." It sounds horrific, but without a doubt it will add to the immersion Motive and EA are planning to bring to the remake, giving the player more strategies when taking down necromorphs. Embracing that immersive side is also highlighted in the fact that the entirety of Dead Space will take place in one continuous shot, without a single load screen or break of the camera.
The USG Ishimura was just as much of a character as Clarke, and Motive know this. That's why they've added new rooms, as well as interconnected corridors and routes throughout the entire ship. The visual terrors of Dead Space are even more explicit, with incredible lighting and particle effects. Motive has built something called an Intensity Director that dynamically adjusts whatever lies in Isaac Clarke's path, be it a necromorph spawn and their reaction to the engineer, the various environmental effects, or direct feedback of Isaac's heartbeat, breathing, and exertions to provide the player with an idea of his emotional and physical state.
Dead Space sounds like so much more than just another remake, with new immersion features like a lack of load screens, the peeling system, new voice acting, new areas, new story beats, new UI map controls and an improved locator, and more, Motive has gone all out in crafting a faithful remake, filled to the brim with new features and effects. All I can say is, roll on January when the world gets to experience one of the greatest horror game of all time in a brand new and exciting way..

Tesla-Owned SolarCity Withdraws From South Carolina, Less Than a Year After Launch
source: http://feeds.greentechmedia.com/~r/GTM_Solar/~3/eWTudwDourc/tesla-owned-solarcity-withdraws-from-south-carolina-less-than-a-year-since
The nation's largest residential solar installer is shutting down operations in South Carolina, roughly eight months after entering the state's burgeoning solar market.
Tesla subsidiary SolarCity launched a new residential service in the Palmetto State last October, due in part to the introduction of a new solar loan product earlier in the year. The company hoped to hire around 100 new employees and expand from Charleston to other parts of the state over time.
"Certainly the growth of the market [in Charleston region] makes it attractive," Leon Keshishian, East Coast regional vice president at SolarCity, told the Post and Courier last year.
Policy changes also made South Carolina an appealing destination for solar companies. In 2014, the state legislature allowed for third-party ownership of solar installations. A year later, regulators approved a settlement agreement between utilities and solar stakeholders that allowed rooftop solar customers to receive net metering credits for the excess energy they export to the grid at the full retail rate, though 2020.
In 2016, South Carolina's residential solar market boomed — growing from under 1 megawatt of new installation capacity in the fourth quarter of 2015 to more than 9 megawatts in the third quarter of 2016, according to GTM Research. Most of that growth came from four national installation companies: Vivint Solar, Sunrun, Vision Solar and Suncrest Solar. These companies expanded rapidly in the state to take advantage of favorable solar rebates.

SolarCity arrived on the scene a little later than its competitors, possibly because the company was in the midst of being acquired by Tesla. The recent decision to withdraw from South Carolina may also stem from the acquisition, which was approved last fall. According to a Tesla spokesperson, closure of SolarCity's Charleston office is a result of ending the company's door-to-door sales practice — a strategic move announced this spring.
"As a result of the elimination of our door-to-door sales channel, which we announced in April, we are closing our SolarCity office in Charleston, South Carolina," a spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "Those employees have since been reassigned or provided an opportunity to interview for other positions that will help support our expanded retail efforts and the delivery of new solar products and Powerwalls across the country."
"We intend to complete installations [for] all contracted customers, and operations support will continue through other regional offices," according to Tesla. "We look forward to resuming our physical presence in South Carolina in the future."
Interestingly, SolarCity launched a pilot project available exclusively in South Carolina upon entering the market last year that allowed Charleston area customers to purchase their systems online at a discount. It's unclear how this pilot informed Tesla's sales strategy in the state.
Also, while South Carolina has seen rapid solar growth over the past year and a half, it's unclear how the state's rooftop market will evolve. The Solar Energy Industries Association projects that South Carolina will install 1,888 megawatts of solar across all market segments over next five years, and residential installations are expected to play a meaningful role in that. However, as solar rebates expire and utilities hit their net metering caps, national companies could pull back or even pull out of the market if the economics become less attractive. This could open up new opportunities for local solar installers, GTM Research analyst Allison Mond recently wrote.
In some ways, South Carolina is representative of where the U.S. residential solar sector is headed overall, as new markets emerge and established ones see growth slow.
"[If] South Carolina is any indication, there is still room for success for the large national installation companies," Mond wrote. "If public companies are able to adapt to changing consumer trends, such as increased demand for loan products, then success in emerging state markets could counteract the deceleration of growth in mature markets like California, allowing these companies to maintain their hold on the national market."

Education Secretary Michael Gove has announced major changes to A-level exams in England, with pupils beginning A-levels in September 2015 being affected by the changes.
The new qualification will see pupils taking exams at the end of their two-year courses instead of every year.
The AS–level qualification will also become stand-alone, with marks no longer counting towards final A-level grades. The first students will take the new exams in the summer of 2017.
Universities will no longer be able to select students on their predicted grades from their first year AS results. Institutions will have to come up with other methods of selecting students, such as references.

Could you add 'use reverse scroll' as a 'then'?
Yes, what option do you need? Player / location / last dead location?
Ideally both location and last dead location.
Added them all. Death, location, player, and last return.
@Ryan can you show my how to create a condition to do trade.
When the trade finisht change scrip to go back to other city doing trade again.
That's not really what conditions are for. You can do that with a script by walking back to the previous town with new goods. I believe I explained this to you or someone else in another thread.
What about for "If Player in UnionParty" and "if Player Not in UnionParty"?
And "if condition" is true, then change "Profile" as argument.
Wow so fast. I think in the next Release?
Yes, it usually doesn't take much time to add more conditions.
Added. You'll specify it like this in a 24 hour format: "hh:mm" aka "19:00".
this conditions also work when stop botting? or bot always must be start?
They work if the bot is stopped as well. If you want a specific condition to only be used when botting you should add a "botting" check to the if statement.
nvm, just realized this would not solve my problem.
why these are not working ? does buffs counting as attack ?
does buffs counting as attack ? or if a monster attacking me that i have ignored ?
Because you can't simultaneously stop the bot and start the bot again. Buffs do not count as an attack.
so this will work ?
