Q: элемент svg мерцает при наведении Есть группа svg-элементов g с идентификатором g1 , в ней лежат элементы path . Для g1 задан стиль:
#g1:hover {
display: none;
}

При наведении возникает проблема: display:none срабатывает не на всем поле, покрываемом g1 и его дочерними элементами (в результате при перемещении курсора по данному полю экран в данной области как бы мерцает, переключаясь между состояниями отображения/сокрытия элемента). @keyframes не работают вообще. svg-файл импортирован в html через тег svg, создан в Inkscape, сохранен как оптимизированный svg-файл. С чем это может быть связано и на какой стадии допущена ошибка?
Весь код здесь: https://codepen.io/j_a_c_k_hammer/pen/oNWRpyp

A: Описание в вопросе и предоставленный код в Codepen несколько отличаются.
Я не нашёл @keyframes и #g1
Может быть это поможет?
По крайней мере  при наведении и движении курсора, мерцания нет
Вместо
 #g994:hover{
    visibility: hidden;
}

используйте при наведении opacity: 0;

  <style>
  #g994:hover{
    opacity: 0;
}
</style>

Polyvore, a fashion Web site for the masses [The New Yorker] – Lee and her colleagues like to keep tabs on exactly how people are using Polyvore. They know that the average user spends ten or eleven minutes per session and clicks on twelve Polyvore pages per visit; they know that users "import" 1.2 million products per month. But they are boundlessly curious about the Polyvore setmaker's process. And so Lee invited Gail Helmer, the user from Calgary who goes by the handle MyChanel, to come to Mountain View and let the engineers observe her at work on a set. Lee called it "usability testing," as if Helmerchosen because of the quality, consistency, and popularity of her setswere a lab rat. "She's very fashion-savvy," Lee told me. "She's one of the top members." Helmer arrived at the offices straight from the airport, wearing jeans from Zara tucked into black boots, a gray sweater she'd bought for ten dollars, and a white ruffled shirt. "Banana," she said, pinching a ruffle. "The Republic of."

Last Saturday, 17th December, saw the final main line charter involving 70013 Oliver Cromwell, in 2011. The loco successfully completed a run down the East Coast Main Line from Kings Cross to York hauling an eleven coach train for the Railway Touring Company. An early departure for "The Cross" at 07.15 with pick ups at Potters Bar, Stevenage and Peterborough didn't deter people from booking on the train, which was full.
On arrival at York 70013 pulled into platform 9, alongside 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe which had brought a charter in from Tyseley a little earlier. Naturally hoards of steam enthusiasts had turned out to witness the spectacle and they were treated to further delights involving locos moving throught the station to turn on the triangle and the later departures of both charters. The London train had 60019 Bittern masquerading as 4492 Dominion of New Zealand at its head and replacing 70013.
Cromwell had to return to the Great Central Railway for booked work over the Christmas period and, as it was not possible for operational reasons to send the loco back to the GCR by road from York immediately, 70013 plus its support coach made the journey to Carnforth on Saturday evening. Road haulage back to Quorn was booked for Monday 19th December.
So ends a successful 2011 for Oliver Cromwell. It has been a very busy year. 2012 looks as though it will be at least as busy, with many bookings already having been received. 5305LA is pleased to have been able to make the loco available on so many occasions over the past twelve months and looks forward to repeating the exercise in the coming year.

Q: undefined error when trying to set state I'm trying to upload images and then set the state for each image uploaded.
However, I keep on getting this error when hitting the 'Upload' button:

catch:  TypeError: Cannot read property 'setState' of undefined

The error is occurring in this block of code:
        .then(function (response) {
            //handle success
            console.log('then: ', response);
            this.setState({
                file: e.target.files[0]
            });
        })

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Here is the entire component:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';

class ImageUpload extends Component {

constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { file: '', imagePreviewUrl: '' };
}

_handleSubmit(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    let fd = new FormData();
    fd.append('image', this.state.file);
    const config = {
        headers: { 'content-type': 'multipart/form-data' }
    }
    const postData = {
        method: 'POST',
        credentials: 'include',
        body: fd
    }

    axios({
        method: 'post',
        url: `/api/gaming/profiles/${this.props.profileId}/files/upload`,
        data: postData
    })
        .then(function (response) {
            //handle success
            console.log('then: ', response);
            this.setState({
                file: event.target.files[0]
            });
        })
        .catch(function (response) {
            //handle error
            console.log('catch: ', response);
        });
}

_handleImageChange(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    let reader = new FileReader();
    let file = e.target.files[0];

    reader.onloadend = () => {
        this.setState({
            file: file,
            imagePreviewUrl: reader.result
        });
    }

    reader.readAsDataURL(file)
}

render() {
    const { questionId } = this.props;

    let { imagePreviewUrl } = this.state;
    let $imagePreview = null;
    if (imagePreviewUrl) {
        $imagePreview = ();
    } else {
        $imagePreview = (
Please select an Image for Preview
);
    }
    console.log('ImageUpload Render()');
    return (

                <input className="fileInput"
                    type="file"
                    onChange={(e) => this._handleImageChange(e)} />
                <button className="submitButton"
                    type="submit"
                    onClick={(e) => this._handleSubmit(e)}>Upload Image</button>

                {$imagePreview}

    );
}
}
export default ImageUpload;

A: In your _handleSubmit(e) define var self = this
then use self.setState instead of this.setState
_handleSubmit(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    let fd = new FormData();
    fd.append('image', this.state.file);
    const config = {
        headers: { 'content-type': 'multipart/form-data' }
    }
    const postData = {
        method: 'POST',
        credentials: 'include',
        body: fd
    }

    var self = this

    axios({
        method: 'post',
        url: `/api/gaming/profiles/${this.props.profileId}/files/upload`,
        data: postData
    })
    .then(function (response) {
        //handle success
        console.log('then: ', response);
        self.setState({
            file: event.target.files[0]
        });
    })
    .catch(function (response) {
        //handle error
        console.log('catch: ', response);
    });
}

A: Change your Promise resolver to an arrow function, it'll lexically scope this for you.
Change it to:
.then((response) => {
            //handle success
            console.log('then: ', response);
            this.setState({
                file: e.target.files[0]
            });
        })

Barbara Eden Goes down Memory Lane about Working with 'I Dream of Jeannie' Co-Star Larry Hagman
By Kareena Koirala
https://news.amomama.com/142628-barbara-eden-goes-memory-lane-working-i.html
Walking down the memory lane, the "I Dream of Jeannie" star Barbara Eden recalled how she loved working with Larry Hagman.
Barbara, 87, famously starred in a hit TV series "I Dream of Jeannie" which aired from 1965 to 1970.
"I loved working with him," she told a source as she prepares to go on a tour down under this year.
"It was not work. It was just--our timing was right. I can't even explain it. It was wonderful."
Although Barbara enjoyed working with Larry, the cast and crew found him difficult. She revealed how bringing the series to life was challenging because of that. On top of that, the actor's addiction to drugs and alcohol was not unknown to all.
His behavior and addiction became a matter of concern for the crew and the situation became so severe that the producers considered replacing Hagman with actor Darren McGavin.
Barbara recalled how he was very unhappy in the show. Despite everything, he was "awake" when they went in front of the camera and gave his best.
The duo reunited in another series named "Dallas" where Barbara played Larry's ex-lover during the final season. According to Barbara, Larry personally invited her to appear in the series. The show revolved around a Texas oil baron who manipulates and blackmails people to achieve his ambitions.
Another memory that the actress has of Larry was the one involving a lion. She shared how she had done two featured films with lions and she had been told how to treat them. When she told Larry that they had to make friends with the lion, he exclaimed he was not going to make friends with any lion and walked away.

When Larry encountered the lion for the first time, it turned around and let out a huge roar, prompting the actor to flee the set. To Barbara's amusement, every single man on the set ran away, breaking a camera on their way.
Barbara then had the lion on her lap and started to lick her arm like a giant pussycat.

Atlanta Falcons Debut New Uniforms for 2020 Season
By Jordan Hill By Jordan Hill | April 21, 2020 | Style & Beauty
It's out with the old and in with new for the Atlanta Falcons. The team released an entirely new set of uniforms, and we are here for it. The comprehensive redesign—which is the first in 17 years—will usher in the 2020 season in style. Using nearly two decades of fan research and input from the players, the new Falcons swag honors teams past and present, and also reflects the state-of-the-art design of Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The new-and-improved uniform lineup includes eight different color combinations. Black jerseys and black pants will be the official Falcons home look, and the dirty birds will wear white on white while on the road. Also on the roster: The current throwback jersey, which salutes the 1966 team, and a new "Rise Up" alternate uniform. The collection now includes four jerseys, four pants and one helmet. While the new design looks simple and sleek, the unis are dripping with detail. The official design process—which began in January 2018—was slow and steady, using the Falcons' internal design team, the NFL and Nike to bring the uniform to life. While the overall look is monochrome, a few elements are highlighted in the team's iconic red, including the familiar Falcons bird logo, an ATL mark across the chest and a stripe down the side of the uniform. Red also makes an appearance as a primary jersey color in the new gradient "Rise Up" alternate uniform color. "There's just a feeling to it. I can't explain it when you look in your locker and that color and head to toe in black is going to be good, too. I don't know what it is, but I know there's a feeling that comes with it for the guys, too, when we see that in our lockers," says Falcons' quarterback Matt Ryan. For those that want to add the new swag to their own collection, the time is quickly approaching. The new Nike Falcons fan jerseys are on sale, so make sure to stock up before fall. We'll see you at the Benz.

Southwest Division Roundtable
TDS Staff
Jim Eichenhofer from the New Orleans Hornets website organized a roundtable with writers from around the Southwest division. Yours truly was included. Check it out below and add your thoughts on the topics discussed.
In terms of the team you cover, what is the biggest story to watch this season?
Mark Followill, Mavericks TV broadcaster: Will the Mavericks' offseason moves pay
dividends? The Mavs added Shawn Marion, Drew Gooden, Quinton Ross, Kris Humphries and Tim Thomas and subtracted little from the core of a team that won 50 games and advanced to the second round. Their most notable losses were Brandon Bass and Antoine Wright who were seventh and eighth in total minutes played. All of those players added help upgrade the talent level and versatility of the team in theory but how will it actually come together in reality? I am an optimist so my guess is very well but until you start for real you can never be sure.
Jason Friedman, Rockets.com: When the topic is Rockets' basketball, all roads eventually lead back to Tracy McGrady. He's not just an X-factor, he is THE X-factor. Right now, there is no definite timetable for his return, though I'd put money on him coming back sooner rather than later. And though it's a fool's errand to attempt to predict the caliber of play he'll display upon returning to action, all reports of his progress have been positively glowing thus far. There's little doubt that a healthy and motivated T-Mac could potentially transform the Rockets from scrappy overachievers to Western Conference force – think '07-'08 Rockets once Yao went down, only better – but is that the McGrady the Rockets are going to get? Houston fans can't wait to find out.
Matt Tumbleson, grizzlies.com: The biggest thing to watch this season for the Grizzlies will be to see how all of the offseason moves that the team made fit together with a group that started to come together during the final month of last season under Lionel Hollins. Adding Allen Iverson and Zach Randolph to a solid young core of Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo, Mike Conley and Marc Gasol unquestionably ups the talent level for the Grizzlies this season. On paper, the added firepower on offense will make the Grizzlies tough to stop.
Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com: How much of an impact will the Hornets' six new players make? New Orleans is headlined by a pair of two-time All-Stars in Chris Paul and David West, but those two players have had to shoulder too big of a load at times in recent seasons. The Hornets hope the additions of Emeka Okafor, Ike Diogu, Darius Songaila, Bobby Brown and rookies Darren Collison and Marcus Thornton will increase depth and provide more support for Paul and West. The bench was a major weakness in 2008-09, but Paul said recently that this is the deepest team the Hornets have had since he debuted in 2005.
David Thiessen, Projectspurs.com: The faces might have changed more this year than in the past but the biggest story, health, has not. Year in and year out the biggest story is whether Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili can play the majority of the season and enter the playoffs healthy. Even if Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyess and DeJuan Blair are the successes the fans hope for, the Spurs' fortunes rest upon Duncan's knees and Ginobili's ankles. Ginobili is supposedly 100 percent healthy and Duncan lost weight to decrease the wear and tear on his chronic knee problems, so Spurs fans are hopeful.
What is the biggest reason to be optimistic about your team's chances this season?
Mark Followill, Mavericks TV broadcaster: Shawn Marion and Josh Howard. The Mavs finally have an athletic tandem at the wings that can complement Jason Kidd's open floor game. Howard was a huge factor in beating San Antonio in the playoffs and offseason ankle surgery has the Mavs hoping he is as healthy as he's been in some time. Marion is ready to prove his drop in stats in Miami and Toronto were more about their systems than his talent eroding. The Mavs need to get better athletically and defensively and Marion fits that bill.
Jason Friedman, Rockets.com: All one has to do is think back to the playoffs when the Rockets managed to break even over the final four games against the mighty Lakers despite the absence of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. Granted, there's a big difference between playing without two superstars for four games as opposed to 82, but it speaks to the fact that the players on this club will never be outworked. Those who choose to discount the Rockets this season do so at their own peril.
Matt Tumbleson, grizzlies.com: Many critics question whether the offensive talents of Iverson, Randolph, Gay and Mayo will be able to coexist, but ultimately, having multiple scoring options is a good problem to have. Last year the Grizzlies relied too heavily on Gay and Mayo to carry the load on offense, but with the additions of Randolph and Iverson, teams will have to pick their poison against the Grizzlies.
Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com: The Hornets have the best point guard in the league in Chris Paul, who continues to make noticeable improvements to his game each season. They've surrounded him with several players who also still have not reached their prime. That combination makes it very possible that this team will improve upon its 49 wins in 2008-09 and remain competitive in the West for the foreseeable future.
David Thiessen, Projectspurs.com: The Spurs had arguably the strongest summer of any team, addressing all of their major weaknesses. Fourth scorer? Check. Improved frontcourt depth to help Duncan? Check. Backup point guard? Check. With Jefferson, McDyess, Blair and George Hill's improvement, the Spurs are better than last year in almost all regards.
What is the biggest concern for your team entering the season?
Mark Followill, Mavericks TV broadcaster: Are the Mavs strong enough in the middle? Obviously Dallas was looking to improve at center when they signed Marcin Gortat to an offer sheet that was matched by Orlando. Afterwards, they turned to Drew Gooden. The, in my opinion, underrated Gooden gives Dallas a very skilled 5 on the offensive end. Of course at some point to win at the highest levels you have to protect the paint and can the Mavs get enough of that from a rotation of Gooden, Erick Dampier, Kris Humphries and any number of other unconventional options at center?
Jason Friedman, Rockets.com: For many Rockets observers I'm sure the answer would be offense, given the fact Houston will be missing the nightly 20 and 10 it's accustomed to receiving from Yao Ming. However, the All-Star center's presence might be missed even more at the defensive end. Yao has been one of the game's best rim defenders over the years and the Rockets' lack of size in his stead will surely prompt opponents to feel far more courageous when making forays to the hoop.
Matt Tumbleson, grizzlies.com: If the different dynamics of this team work, there will
be a big payoff in the end. But if things don't click early with this group, the memory of the consecutive losing seasons could creep into everyone's minds. Iverson missing the preseason with a hamstring injury won't help in this department.
Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com: The competition in the Western Conference. Of the seven West teams (Lakers, Nuggets, Spurs, Blazers, Mavericks, Hornets, Jazz) that virtually every analyst is projecting to make the playoffs, it's possible that all seven will be as good as they were in 2008-09 – or better. As always, the race for a top seed and homecourt advantage will be fierce in the West.
David Thiessen, Projectspurs.com: Duncan can lose all the weight he wants but it will not make his knee problems go away. They are chronically painful and we do not know how it will affect him this season. We got a small taste at the end of last season and he definitely was not the same dominant player. Ginobili has also injured his ankles more than once. Is this a recurring problem that will rear its head again?
Not including your team, which Southwest Division club are you most looking forward to watching play this season?
Mark Followill, Mavericks TV broadcaster: San Antonio. It will be fascinating to see how loading up for one last run works. No doubt Richard Jefferson and Antonio McDyess help them, but for the Spurs it all boils down to the knees of Tim Duncan and the return of a healthy Manu Ginobili.
Jason Friedman, Rockets.com: Have to go with San Antonio here. Give the Spurs credit: they recognized they're approaching the end of an era and therefore did everything in their power to load up for another run to try to coax another title or two out of the Duncan-Parker-Ginobili triumvirate which has served them so well through the better part of this decade. However their story unfolds, it's going to be must-see TV this season.
Matt Tumbleson, grizzlies.com: I'm most looking forward to seeing what the Spurs do this season with the additions of Richard Jefferson and Antonio McDyess. Coach Popovich and R.C. Buford took advantage of the market at a perfect time and added talent when there were no guarantees of using their available cap space during the free agent bonanza that is coming up next summer. I expect the Spurs to push the Lakers for the Western Conference title.
Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com: Based on the tremendous pickups of Richard Jefferson and Antonio McDyess, I'll go with the Spurs. By adding Jefferson and McDyess to Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, San Antonio has added to what already was an extremely formidable core.
David Thiessen, Projectspurs.com: With the addition of Shawn Marion, the Mavericks appear ready to run up and down the court and create mismatches for almost every team. They have not been talked about as much as some other teams this offseason but they should be an exciting team and potential contender.
Among the other 10 teams in the Western Conference, which club are you most looking forward to watching play this season?
Mark Followill, Mavericks TV broadcaster: Denver. The Nuggets are about to learn what New Orleans did last year and that is when you win well over 50 games and advance deep into the playoffs, you all of the sudden have a target on your back. They won't sneak up on anyone and will have to learn how to cope with playing opponents who are looking to measure themselves against you night in, night out. It's not easy…
Jason Friedman, Rockets.com: Such a tough choice. Oklahoma City is on the precipice of being a playoff team, though probably a year away. The Clippers could rise to relevance or plumb the deepest depths of oblivion once more. But ultimately, the answer to this question has to be the Lakers. They are, after all, the defending champs and, befitting a Hollywood team, they are a walking, talking reality show with the likes of Artest and Khloe Kardashian now in tow.
Matt Tumbleson, grizzlies.com: The Oklahoma City Thunder are a lot of people's favorite to make a big jump this season for very good reason. Kevin Durant looks like a surefire All-Star and could end up being one of the top 10 players in the league this season. The Thunder are just as high on Russell Westbrook, who has the talent to complement Durant as the team's one-two punch. The question will be whether they have enough depth up front. Either way, they'll be exciting to watch.
Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com: Oklahoma City. Kevin Durant is on the verge of megastardom and they have several other promising building blocks in Russell Westbrook, Jeff Green and first-round pick James Harden. The Thunder improved so much late in 2008-09 that I wonder if they might be surprisingly competitive.
David Thiessen, Projectspurs.com: Unfortunately the team I'm most looking forward to watching, the Oklahoma City Thunder, will be difficult to find on TV. They've assembled an exciting, energetic, youthful team with a budding superstar in Kevin Durant.
Also not including your team, which Southwest Division rookie are you most looking forward to watching play this season?
Mark Followill, Mavericks TV broadcaster: Not many marquee choices but I'll say DeJuan Blair in San Antonio. Can his knees hold up? Will Gregg Popovich give a rookie a ton of minutes? Can he overcome his perceived deficiencies through his relentless style of play? If he does, a lot of GMs will be kicking themselves.
Jason Friedman, Rockets.com: There's no one who has me more intrigued than DeJuan Blair. I'm still having a difficult time figuring out how he fell so far in this summer's draft and his preseason performances have done absolutely nothing to diminish my bewilderment.
Matt Tumbleson, grizzlies.com: DeJuan Blair has had a huge preseason, and it will be interesting to see where he fits in with a very seasoned Spurs frontline. Coach Popovich is notorious for resting his core group during the regular season, so Blair should have ample opportunity to showcase his skills.
Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com: DeJuan Blair's precipitous drop to the second round was one of the biggest stories of the 2009 draft. Many NBA teams passed on selecting him, including essentially every other club in this division. Will Blair prove to everyone that it was a mistake?
David Thiessen, Projectspurs.com: DeMarre Carroll is not the most talented player on the Grizzlies but you will not find a player who works harder. The Junkyard Dog plays every minute to the max and Memphis fans should fall in love with him. I'm interested to see if that intensity can rub off on some of his teammates.
In your opinion, who is most likely to be the division's 2009-10 "breakthrough" player from another team?
Mark Followill, Mavericks TV broadcaster: My only reluctance in selecting O.J. Mayo of Memphis is how Allen Iverson's presence might limit his minutes. Purely based on skill though, he is a stud and if the Grizzlies are smart they give him every opportunity to blossom.
Jason Friedman, Rockets.com: I'm choosing Julian Wright, a player with all the tools and ample opportunity to use them. Now entering his third year, I'm betting on Wright to start realizing his potential and begin playing a pivotal role on a Hornets squad anxious for him to step up.
Matt Tumbleson, grizzlies.com: DeJuan Blair has caught the attention of a lot of people this preseason, but many forget that his Pitt teammate, Sam Young is in a similar position. Young fell into the Grizzlies' lap in the second round and the Grizzlies couldn't be happier, as the swingman has chipped in a pair of 20-plus scoring performances off the bench this preseason.
Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com: Houston's Aaron Brooks showed during the 2009 playoffs that he has the talent to become an excellent starting point guard. With the Rockets' roster depleted by injuries and departures, Brooks will have a golden opportunity to take another big step in his development.
David Thiessen, Projectspurs.com: Julian Wright took a step back in his second season, but the Hornets appear ready to start the athletic forward. His game is still raw but the increase in playing time should allow his game to develop, and playing more minutes with Chris Paul should help as well.
Thanks to Jim Eichenhofer for inviting David to the roundtable. Please leave us your comments on the Spurs competition in the Southwest Division.

Home Entertainment Rapper Iron Has Assaulted His Ex-Girlfriend; Here's The Controversy And His Clarification!
Rapper Iron Has Assaulted His Ex-Girlfriend; Here's The Controversy And His Clarification!
http://wowkeren.com/
Who is Rapper Iron?
You might know him as one of the standing contestants on Mnet's survival reality show, Show Me the Money 3. Born by the name Jung Hun-cheol (Hangul: 정헌철) on the 8th of January, 1992, the 27-year-old singer and rapper who has released his first album, Rock Bottom, was later found out to be engaged in a sexual assault case against his girlfriend in 2017. What is the full story of his crime controversy? Find out by scrolling down this article below!
Report About His Girlfriend's Sexual Desire
http://hype.my/
In March 2017, rapper Iron had been reported of being involved in a sexual assault case where he physically abused and beat his girlfriend while having sex. Korean media released police reports that showed Iron had been indicted for physically beating his girlfriend during sex. The reports stated that he had punched her during sexual intercourse after she "didn't agree to his requests." The same reports stated he had broken her pinky finger and even cut himself to convince her not to break up with him.
Later, the rapper responded by denying all charges and released a statement with his side of the story.
Since the reports are being published based on her statements only, I want to tell you exactly what happened.
I first met this girl during a photoshoot for my album. She was the model for my album. The biggest problem with this girl is that she was a masochist. She only received sexual pleasure from these fetish behaviors.
I was very surprised at first. She always asked me to beat her and said she was only satisfied when I [beat her]. The injuries weren't the result of a physical assault. They were the result of my justified self-defense in the face of her merciless violence.
I was scared of seeing her like that and I broke up with her after finding out she had another boyfriend. She was once my lover but I knew how skewed her point of view was. I became very afraid after getting to know her. I have never threatened or used violence on a woman. I am not a perfect person but I have never harmed anyone with evil intentions."
— Iron (released on March 3rd, 2017)
Arrested For 1 Year
http://koreaboo.com/
As a result of his crime, Iron was arrested for one year after being sued for a sexual assault case.
On Tuesday (March 14th, 2017), Yonhap News revealed that he punched her in the face while having sex at his home in central Seoul in September 2016. According to prosecutors, the rapper hit her because she refused his demands.
Just 15 days after the first assault, he reportedly abused his girlfriend again by allegedly choking and beating his girlfriend when she said she wanted to break up. Not only did he fracture her left pinky finger, but he also left bruises on her body.
In addition, the prosecutors also said the 25-year-old rapper injured himself in the thigh with a kitchen tool and threatened to accuse her of the injury if she were to call the police.
In July 2017, the Seoul Central District Court stated that Iron has been found guilty of all assault charges filed against him.
"[Iron] is denying the charges, but it's been proven that he hit the victim in the face with his fist in September 2016. It's hard to confirm his statement that the victim asked him to hit her. We will not be accepting [Iron's] claim. He is guilty of all charges."
– Seoul Central District Court
He was indicted in April following his arrest and has been on trial ever since. Initially, he pleaded not guilty.
The prosecution demanded a 1-year sentence for Iron following the third round of trials.
"[Iron] does not acknowledge his crimes, and refuses to come to an agreement with the victim, so we ask for 1 year of imprisonment."
– Prosecution
He has a suspended sentence of up to two years of probation, that if broken will mean he serves 8 months of imprisonment and 80 hours of community service.
This is not the first criminal case of Iron. He was previously sentenced to 8 months in prison and a 2-year suspension on charges of marijuana use between 2014 and 2015. Moreover, he was caught smoking pot along with former Topp Dogg member Kidoh in July. During an interview with Dingo last year, he also admitted that he had once stabbed a friend when he was a child.
Iron's Apology on Instagram
In the same month as the Court's final decision, Iron uploaded a handwritten letter of apology on his Instagram.
"Hello, it's Jung Heon Chul.
First, to my peers… and to everyone who supported me, I would like to express my sincere apology through this letter.
I caused heartache to those who trusted me through the recent array of unpleasant news…
And I wasn't able to acknowledge it until just recently.
I thought it was cool to act however I wanted without regret, instead of calculating this and that.
However, I recently looked back to realize that my actions were hurting those around me and those supporting me.
You were burdened and hurt just by the fact that you trusted and supported someone like me…
I made the past days of those who loved my music into trash…
I only knew how to act cool and pretend to be a man, but now I am embarrassed by my disappointing and childish actions.
I contemplated a lot whether I should express my apology to everyone whenever the unpleasant news arose, but it didn't feel like it was the proper way to approach you guys, so I was unable to apologize to everyone…
All of the situations that happened so far were because of my insults.
Although it won't be enough, I would like to express my deepest apology to everyone who had trusted and supported me, as well as everyone who was hurt by my actions.
I now realize my current situation and I will aim to live a full life that is not embarrassing.
I sincerely apologize for causing heartache to everyone."
(The post has been removed from Instagram)
His Current Life
Earlier this year, the rapper has finally spoken up and formally apologized regarding his past crime.
On April 19th, 2019, the YouTube channel named Update Olympic uploaded a video showing Iron during his community service time while chatting up about his career, controversies, and more.
During a past interview, Iron claimed his girlfriend requested that he hit her. Regarding this, Iron said, "At the time (of the interview), I was very emotional and I only thought from my perspective. (I told the reporter) 'To be honest, she told me to hit her first. So I did.' I don't think I was reflecting on my actions then. I unintentionally caused her pain because I had to take responsibility for a relationship that I didn't want to be responsible for. The misunderstandings, suspicion, and loss of trust grew and led to such a displeasing incident."
On the question about his common use of drugs, Iron commented, "I still think marijuana is medicine." He continued, "Life is hard. Alcohol and cigarettes are the true drugs. We're even taught that way (in school). Marijuana grows in nature. They banned it in the U.S. because of tax reasons, and people have a negative perspective towards it. I personally want to encourage marijuana use. I think marijuana is a gift from God that society needs. I hope hip-hop musicians become brave and spread the truth. Of course, hardcore drugs like heroin are bad and it leads down a path to destroying your life."
Lastly, Iron was asked if he will ever audition on Mnet's Show Me The Money again. He laughed and shook his head. "No," he answered firmly.
Check out his full interview in the clip below.

ZIM v IND 2022: "Can't even compare myself with these guys MSD and Rohit Sharma," KL Rahul on his captaincy
Rahul will lead India in the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe.
By Ankitjit Singh - 18 Aug, 2022
Indian stand-in skipper KL Rahul said that whenever he has captained the side he has always tried to be himself. He believes that it's unfair to compare him with MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma as their numbers and achievements speak for themselves.
India is all set to lock horns with Zimbabwe in the three-match ODI series, to be played between 18th August to 22nd August. The Indian squad will be led by KL Rahul, with Shikhar Dhawan being his deputy.
Rahul was originally not named in the squad and Dhawan was originally slated to captain India during this tour, but the right-hander later passed the fitness test and was added to the squad as the leader of the team.

This will be the second time Rahul will lead Team India in ODIs. His first outing as a skipper in the 50-over format was not impressive as India suffered a whitewash under him against South Africa.
Rahul, who impressed many with his leadership in IPL 2022, will also be making his comeback after being out for a long time.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the first ODI against Zimbabwe, KL Rahul said that he'll not look to copy anyone else and will give his best to be himself. He admitted that he's not even close to MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma in terms of captaincy.
"I can't go out there and be someone else. Then I won't be fair to myself, to the team, or to the game. I try and be myself and let the other players be themselves as they want.
"I can't even compare myself with these guys (MSD and Rohit Sharma), their numbers and achievement are far greater in terms of what they have done for the country, and I don't think any name could be taken in the same breath," KL Rahul said.
Rahul said that he has learned a lot by playing under the leadership of the aforementioned players and has picked good qualities from them.

"… And this is my second series as captain, and obviously, I have played under them and learnt a lot from them as a player. As you have been playing for so many years, you will pick some good qualities from these guys," he said.
Rahul said that it'll be challenging for him to manage the players and bring the best out of them as some are returning from injuries.
"It will be (challenging) for any leader as to how good you are in managing your players and bringing the best out of them. Everybody is in a different place in their careers, and few of us have come back from injuries, few have played a lot of cricket and how do you manage their bodies and how do you manage mindset and nervousness of guys who are coming after a long break, and those are challenges as a leader," he said.
With senior players being rested, it'll be an opportunity for young players to stake their claims and make their cases strong for the T20 World Cup 2022. It remains to be seen what combination will India go with.

Q: Is this circuit a series or parallel combination? I've been confused on this aspect of my textbook. To me it appears that the answer is that it is both a series and parallel combination of elements, but I'm not sure if that is possible. Thank you.

A: It's both. The voltages indicate parallel but the currents indicate series. Sort of pointless either way since it is only ever true for two components and with just two components you never need to use the concept of series or parallel.


8 Track is a band born of several beginnings. Initially formed by a group of seasoned musicians performing in some of Ottawa's premier cover bands (Soul Cracker, Disco Inferno, Lotion, Jackson Miles, Walter Ego, Jukebox Revival, Saturday Night Fever, Stone Soul Picnic and Soul Train to name a few) the members of 8 Track were mutually inspired to test the waters of a live karaoke band project. Due to their common history, the band members were all familiar with each other's shared gifts of quickly learning songs to add to what would eventually become a vast repertoire. An identity and sound for the band followed swiftly after – anchored by dueling keyboards, towering vocals and virtuosic playing. But even with a talented foundation like this, success for 8 Track wasn't without its growing pains. Audience members of the group's live karaoke show were often hesitant to take the stage on account of the band's impressive musicianship, but even more so because of the awe inspiring singing of their lead singer, Steve Gabellini – vocal acrobat extraordinaire. Even now it still sometimes takes a little extra encouragement, but the enthusiastic concert goers who choose to come up and belt out their favorite tune, always have a blast. Take it from 8 Track, if you've never karaoked with a live band behind you – you haven't lived. When booked for your special event 8 Track will gladly accommodate requests from the audience to bring your friends and family up so that they can have the chance to showcase their underappreciated talent for a song or two.


Is it possible to prevent the brush from reloading every time I want to use it?
Reloading in what sense? There's a way to have the paint keep the brush dirty (it's the "Auto Clean" feature on the settings panel). So if you bring blue into yellow and get a green, then lift the brush and start elsewhere, the paint will start as the green it had become. But there's no way to keep the brush dried out if has run down to no paint at all. Once you lift the brush, it is automatically reloaded with new paint. If you lower the Loading settings, the paint will run dry faster though.
Thanks, yeah found out about the auto-clean feature, but that's not what I meant.
Yeah, the "drying out" of the brush is a progressive process for Artrage, that starts over when the brush is lifted. Having it "stay" at a certain dryness is a really interesting idea that is not currently being done. You should put it in the wish list thread for the next version of Artrage. It's a really interesting and potentially very useful idea. One of those "it's so great to be digital" concepts.


In Rocky V, Tommy Gunn seeks out a down-and-out Rocky Balboa hoping for a chance at boxing greatness. As Gunn explains, he comes from a broken home in Oklahoma and has nothing but the clothes on his back. He pleads with Rocky to take him in despite a poor first impression in Mighty Mick's Gym. When he met Rocky, he had already won 7 fights, making a perfect record, knocking out all of his opponents. Thanks to Rocky's experience and Tommy's talent the two soon achieve great success winning 22 consecutive fights. Tommy however, unhappy with being viewed as a pawn for a now disabled Balboa and wanting bigger paying fights, signs on with less-than-reputable promoter George Washington Duke. The move splits Rocky and his protege apart, and sets the stage for the movie's climax.
Gunn is slightly taller than Balboa, and has stats very similar to Clubber Lang and fights in a similar manner without any real strategy. However, Tommy is not as quick or tenacious in the ring and is slightly inexperienced. These are both Rocky's keys to beating him.

Get Your Santa's Big Party Tickets Now!
Last weekend I took the girls up north to visit with the grandparents and do a fun sleepover. In addition to the sleepover, we took the Max and Ruby Nutcracker show before heading up into NH to visit with Santa and friends at the Charmingfare Farm. This was the first time we had visited Charmingfare Farm...but, it will not be our last! We had so much. After walking through the gift shop, which smells amazing thanks to the candles they sell there, we headed out into the farm area. Boy, is this place huge. As we walked through the property, it felt like it went on for miles. Walking through the path, we came upon various barns and out buildings that you could go in and visit with the animals, which included goats, cows and even bunnies.
Be sure you buy a bag of food to feed the animals at the gift shop, as this is a highlight for the kids. My girls especially loved going into the goats pen and feeding them up close.
After we were done visiting with the animals, we continued on to a bonfire that was lit and there to keep to guests warm. After we warmed up a bit, we stood in line for our turn on the horse drawn ride that took us through the holiday displays and lights at Charmingfare Farm. During the ride we even got to see the Grinch and Frosty the Snowman. Note: If you are planning to do the Lighted Winter Wonderland, be sure to bring a blanket to snuggle under while on the horse drawn ride. The night we went it was really cold, in the single digits, and didn't think to bring a blanket. We saw those who come annually with one, and said, we would bring one next year.
The horse drawn ride dropped us off over at Santa's village, where we were able to walk around and meet with some of Santa;s friends in costume...elves, a snowman, Rudolph and others.
Have your camera ready as the kids will want to hug and high five these costumed characters before making their way over to see Santa and his reindeer.
Yes, the folks at Charmingfare Farm have reindeer -- all 8 of Santa's reindeer to be premise.
And, if you have food leftover from feeding the goats earlier, you can feed the reindeer, too. If not, you can buy more food for the reindeer, as well as cocoa and s'mores kits, which you can roast and enjoy by the bonfire.
You get to take the horse drawn ride back to the entrance, where you can visit again with the petting zoo animals, or do a little holiday shopping their gift shop, which has toys, plush animals, candles and gifts for the home, candy and so much more. We had a blast at our night out at the Lighted Winter Wonderland at Charmingfare Farm. The cold temperatures couldn't stop us and the many other families who came out (the parking lot was packed) to enjoy this fun family-friendly holiday event. We can't wait until next year. I am especially looking forward to their Easter Egg hunt.
In addition to the popular Big Santa's Party, you can also purchase tickets online for Charmingfare Farm's other holiday events including the Lighted Winter Wonderland, Sleigh Ride Social and Christmas Tree Spree.
If you live in the New England area or will be visiting this holiday season and looking for things to do with you family, why not consider checking out one or all three events at Charmingfare Farm. And, just for Inspired by Savannah readers, here is a special $5 per person discount you can use when ordering tickets for Santa' Big Party event.
Tickets are also on sale now for their New Year' Eve celebration, which will include a horse-drawn ride, viewing of the holiday lights and a wonderful campfire side meal.

ADR Formula® - Offers broad-spectrum nutritional support to the functioning of the adrenal glands. This formula enhances both the effects and production of certain adrenal hormones and maintains a healthy immune response.
This product contains: whole adrenal and adrenal cortex derived from pasture-fed, pesticide-free bovine herds. These glandular extracts are freeze dried and vacuum dried; Panax ginseng extract (root) (standardized to contain 5% total ginsenosides); Eleutherococcus senticosus extract (root) (standardized to contain 0.8% eleutheroside E & B); licorice extract (root) (standardized to contain 12% glycyrrhizic acid); calcium pantothenate (vitamin B5) (synthetic). Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil.
If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician before taking this product. Stomach upset and nausea have been reported by sensitive individuals using adrenal extracts. Other reports suggest a general stimulatory effect attributed to adrenal extracts, eleuthero, and Panax ginseng that could result in anxiety, irritability or trouble sleeping. Glycyrrhizin-containing licorice extracts have been associated with increasing blood pressure at several grams per day but not in the amounts provided by this formula. However, eleuthero and Panax ginseng are not recommended for individuals with uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Some ingredients contained in this formula may adversely interact with Digoxin, Warfarin, Ticlopidine and diuretics.
†The adrenal glands control and regulate the body's self- defense mechanism against stress, a reaction to any stimulus which upsets normal functioning and disturbs mental or physical health. The adrenal glands generate the energy needed to perform strenuous tasks, deal with emotional crises, and fight infection. The proper functioning of the adrenal glands is crucial to a number of physiological functions including blood sugar regulation, stress adaptation, energy generation, stamina, and the normal functioning of the body's natural defense system.

A History of Vodka, Gin, Pernod & Cachaca By: admin
Thoughout recorded history there has always been alcohol in of some variety, think of this, when you are sitting on a Friday night with your vodka and coke or Pernod and lemonade, does it ever cross your mind how exactly the drink came about. Below is a history of some of the more popular drinks that are enjoyed today such as vodka, gin, Pernod and cachaca.
Vodka is a drink which originated in Eastern Europe. The name stemming from the Russian word "voda" meaning water or, as the Poles would say "woda." The first documented production of vodka in Russia was the end of the 9th century, but the first known distillery at Khylnovsk was about two hundreds years later as reported in the Vyatka Chronicle of 1174. Poland lays claims to having distilled vodka even earlier in the 8th century, but as this was a distillation of wine it might be more appropriate to consider it a crude brandy. The first identifiable Polish vodkas appeared in the 11th century when they were called "gorzalka" originally used as medicines.
During the Middle Ages, distilled liquor was used mainly for medicinal purposes, as well as being an ingredient in the production of gunpowder. In the 14th century a British Ambassador to Moscow first described vodka as the Russian national drink and in the mid 16th century it was established as the national drink in Poland and Finland.
Since early production methods were crude, vodka often contained impurities, so to mask these the distillers flavoured their spirits with fruit, herbs or spices. The mid 15th century saw the first appearance of pot distillation in Russia. Prior to that, seasoning, aging and freezing were all used to remove impurities, around this time (1450) vodka started to be produced in large quantities and the first recorded exports of Russian vodka were to Sweden in 1505. Polish "woda" exports started a century later, from major production centres in Posnan and Krakow.
Types produced included: acorn, anisette, birch, calamus root, calendula, cherry, chicory, dill, ginger hazelnut, horseradish, juniper, lemon, mastic, mint, mountain ash, oak, pepper, peppermint, raspberry, sage, sorrel, wort and water melon.
In the 18th century a professor in St. Petersburg discovered a method of purifying alcohol using charcoal filtration. Felt and river sand had already been used for some time in Russia for filtration.
The spread of awareness of vodka continued throughout the 19th century, helped by the presence in many partdrunkennesss of Europe and Russian soldiers involved in the Napoleonic Wars. Increasing popularity led to escalating demand and to meet this demand, lower grade products were produced based largely on distilled potato mash.
After the Russian Revolution, the Bolsheviks confiscated all private distilleries in Moscow. As a result, a number of Russian vodka-makers emigrated, taking their skills and recipes with them. One such exile revived his brand in Paris, using the French version of his family name - Smirnoff. Thence, having met a Russian �migr� from the USA, they set up the first vodka distillery there in 1934. This was subsequently sold to a US drinks company. From this small start, vodka began in the 1940s to achieve its wide popularity in the Western World.
Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, a number of Russian refugees took their skills and their love of vodka to many parts of the world.
In the 1930s one such exile emigrated from Russia via France to the United States bringing with him the formula to one of the leading Russian makes of vodka.
Through his dealings with another Russian emigre the first vodka distillery in the U.S. was set up in the 1930s. Although not particularly successful at first, this enterprise was sold on again to an entrepreneur who eventually made a hit in the 1950s with a vodka-based cocktail - the Moscow Mule. Vodka did not see a great boom in popularity in the West until the 1960s and 1970s when many more brands were launched in the USA and the UK.
The timing coincided with the cultural revolution in these countries - the "swinging 60s." With a more affluent younger generation and a generally more relaxed lifestyle and the emphasis on adventure and experimentation - vodka's mixability led to its huge and ever rising popularity.
Vodka cocktails are almost as numerous as those of gin and are seen in the same exclusive circles and stylish bars the world over.
Gin The first confirmed date for the production of gin is the early 17th century in Holland, although claims have been made that it was produced prior to this in Italy. In Holland it was produced as a medicine and sold in chemist shops to treat stomach complains, gout and gallstones. To make it more palatable, the Dutch started to flavour it with juniper, which has medicinal properties of its own.
British troops fighting in the Low Countries during the Thirty Years' War, were given "Dutch Courage" during the long campaigns in the damp weather through the warming properties of gin. Eventually they started brining it back home with them, where already it was often sold in chemists' shops. Distillation was taking place in a small way in England, but it began on a greater scale, though the quality was often very dubious. The new drink became a firm favourite with the poor.
In 1730 London had over 7,000 shops that sold only spirits. Abuse of alcohol by the poor became a major problem, which was tackled by introducing The Gin Act at midnight on 29 September 1739, making gin prohibitively expensive. The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole and Dr. Samuel Johnson were among those who opposed the Act since they considered it could not be enforced against the will of the common people. They were right.
Riots broke out and the law was widely and openly broken, the Gin Act was finally repealed in 1742 and a new policy was introduced with the help of distillers: reasonably high prices, reasonable excise duties and licensed retailers under the supervision of magistrates. In essence this is the situation which exists today. Since then many companies established themselves as well-to-do manufacturers and the gin became the drink of high quality.
Pernod is an aniseed-based spirit that has been enjoyed in France for approximately 200 years as an aperitif and a zesty cooking ingredient. During the Babylonian era aniseed drinks were known as elixirs with unique qualities to cure a variety of stomach and digestive dissorders. It has long been recognized that when you combine wormwood and aniseed plants it contains certain healing powers and has been known to have mood-altering effects.
Cacha�a
Cacha�a is made from raw sugar cane and the major difference is that the lighter rums are more commonly made from whats known as molasses, (A thick syrup produced in refining raw sugar and ranging from light to dark brown in color) this is a by-product from boiling the cane juice to extract as much sugar as possible. It is made from fresh sugarcane juice that is fermented and distilled.
Cacha�a is Brazil's national spirit and the key ingredient in the classic cocktail caipirinha, the history of Cacha�a goes back nearly 5 centuries when plantation owners began serving Cacha�a to their slaves after seeing that it increased their vigor. Over the next lot of years better Cacha�as were being distilled and soon people started drinking it in colonial Brazil while having dinner at home. Shortly after this slavery was banned in 1888, when Brazil was declared a modern Republic.

Grand Canyon Stories March 13, 2014
Explore the Colorado River while you still can with Street View
Jordan Kahn - Mar. 13th 2014 8:53 am PT
Senior Vice President of Conservation at American Rivers Chris Williams announced today on the Google Maps blog that the organization has partnered with Google to add high-resolution imagery of the Colorado River running through the Grand Canyon to Street View:
For 6 million years, the Colorado River has flowed through the heart of the desert southwest, its waters slowly carving out a canyon so vast it can be seen from space—yet so remote it didn't appear on early maps of the region. It wasn't until 1869, when John Wesley Powell led a small exploration party on a rafting trip, that the natural wonders of the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon came fully into view.
Start at an iconic spot like Deer Creek Falls or North Canyon, or climb up to the Nankoweap Granaries. Geology fans will enjoy formations like Hermit Shale and Tapeats Sandstone. On your journey, look out for wildlife like big horn sheep and signs of a volcanic dam that naturally occurred centuries ago.
The project was an important one, as Google noted in its blog post, the Colorado River has long been at risk:
While you admire its grandeur, remember that the river is also at risk. One of the United States' most important resources, the Colorado River provides drinking water for 36 million people from Denver to Los Angeles, supports a $26 billion recreation industry, and irrigates nearly 4 million acres of land that grow 15 percent of our nation's crops. But it's also one of the most endangered, dammed, diverted and plumbed rivers in the world, thanks to a century of management policies and practices that have promoted the use of Colorado River water at an unsustainable rate. By the time it reaches the Gulf of California in Mexico, the river is barely a trickle—a ghost of its once magnificent self. You can see evidence of the river's decline In Street View, like the high water mark (showing 1950s driftwood on top of the rock), or sedimentation along the river's edge down by Lake Mead.
Google has a new collection of imagery from the Colorado River here and a new webpage taking you behind the scenes of the project here.

Google exhibits 'Trekker' backpack that captures street level data for Street View [Photo]

Google Search Engines Searching San Francisco GoogleStreetView
Google just revealed a backpack-like Street View capture device called "Trekker" that snaps images in areas impossible to navigate by vehicle (above).
"It's 40 pounds and includes two batteries that'll last you all day. It's Android-powered…. We intend to take it to National Parks, the Grand Canyon, castles, etc.,"explained Google's Engineering Director of Street View Luc Vincent at the "Next Dimension" Google Maps event in San Francisco.
The director further said street level data "could be" useful for users, and then he showed off an original Street View van (below). It is a Chevy Astro and definitely does not compare to newer Street View cars.
It is worth mentioning that Google announced it drove over 5 million unique miles to collect 20 petabytes of imagery for Street View.
More information about today's event as at the Official Google Blog.
