FRANK MILLER RETURNS IN 2021
Frank Miller is a comic book writer and artist, a screenwriter, a film director, and a movie producer. Originally from just down the street in Olney, MD, Frank was raised in Montpelier, VT, and eventually found his way to New York City and the comic book industry in the late 1970s. Finding work in Gold Key Comics initially, he went on to work with DC and Marvel. At the latter, after recurring fill-in and cover artist gigs, he took over art and, eventually, writing duties on Daredevil. He co-plotted the Wolverine limited series with Chris Claremont, and would continue working on titles (his own and those of the companies for which he worked) including Ronin, Daredevil: Born Again, Elektra Lives Again, The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City, and 300. In addition to his comic book work, Miller wrote the scripts for Robocop 2 and 3, directed the film version of The Spirit, shared directing duties with Robert Rodriguez on the Palme d'Or-nominated Sin City and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and produced the film 300. Eagle-eyed viewers can spot him in cameo roles in Robocop 2, Daredevil, Sin City, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and The Spirit. Miller is known for creating Elektra for Marvel Comics' Daredevil series, and a female version of the Robin character, Carrie Kelley, for DC Comics.

'Carbon bubble' risk reinforces the case for fossil fuel divestment
Two new reports have strengthened the case for fossil fuel divestment, arguing that polluting energy assets fuel a 'carbon bubble' in Europe and that moving away from fossil fuels does not harm investment portfolios.
One study by the Greens-European Free Alliance (EFA) analyses carbon exposure of the top 43 European banks and pension funds.
It found out that in order to limit the risks posed by the 'carbon bubble' – a term that refers to the overvaluation of fossil fuels assets, given the need to tackle climate change – countries should quickly shift towards a clean, low-carbon economy.
According to the report, UK pension funds are among the financial institutions at highest risk. The findings follow another report by UK MPs that warned of the risks posed by fossil fuel assets to the stock market.
Reinhard Bütikofer, spokesperson for the Greens-EFA in the European parliament, said, "With over €1 trillion in high-carbon assets, we have identified that the carbon bubble is a significant risk particularly for a number of EU member states and EU financial institutions.
"Investments in fossil fuel companies could therefore quickly turn into fool's gold. The EU's business-as-usual strategy entails greater risks and costs to our financial system."
A second report, published by the Australia Institute and called Climate proofing your investments: Moving funds out of fossil fuels, explores the risks of investing in coal, oil and gas companies.
The report suggests that investors that move funds away from these firms do not risk lower returns, because most of the reserves the companies rely on are in fact "unburnable", as they are incompatible with global climate agreements.
Bill McKibben, from divestment pressure group 350.org, commented on the findings, saying, "These fossil fuel corporations are rogue corporations, operating not just against the laws of nations or the EU, but also against the laws of physics — an even more severe offence.
"They are setting us up for what is probably the greatest financial bubble of all time."

Q: How to override form.valid setting in Angular 2
<button type="submit"
        class="btn btn-primary"
        [disabled]="!complexForm.valid">
  Submit
</button>

My Submit button on the form is getting enabled when the form is not really valid. Old object == New object. Example user changes the value on a field, changes mind and enters same value again. The Submit button is now enabled and under the hood I could treat the Submit like a cancel and trick the user. However a better approach is to not show the Submit button at all until it is really valid. Where and how do I override Angular setting the form.valid property with my own logic where I check old new object and set form.valid myself

A big hello to my lovely readers, today's blog post is about getting comfort during the most important hours of the day. I get so tired working the whole day that I just need my bed and no one to disturb my sleep. In all this, I look up to something in my wardrobe that makes me feel and look good. Most importantly, gives me comfortable sleep all night.
I simply love adding new prints and patterns in my nightwear section. My current obsession is this PJ set which I really adore. White polka dots on blue base looks like snow droplets spread all over. It has a red detailing which adds more charm to it.
I got this sleepwear set from Midnight Closet. You can check them out on Instagram and find yourself a quirky sleepwear. And why just for yourself, gift your parents, kids, or a partner a customized pair and create happiness around. I received the pair in this cute little box. It has a small see-through window to help you easily find the print of your sleepwear.
I hope you guys like this part of my sleepwear story. I am coming up with more looks featuring Midnight Closet, so stay tuned! Don't forget to share your views on this look in the comments below.
Also, thank you for all the love you showering on me, xoxo. A lot of you have been asking me, if I do YouTube videos. I am assuming that you guys wish to see me on YouTube. But, I am still confused whether I should kick it off or not. Help me decide by commenting below if you would like me to see on YouTube.
Thank you, love you all  See you next time!

International Game Technology (IGT), the world's biggest manufacturer of slot machines, announced on July 29th, 2009 that it has entered into an agreement with Boyd Gaming Corporation to place around two hundred additional MegaJackpots machines at Boyd Gaming casino facilities across the US. The brand new, wide-area progressive slot machines will be added to the more than eight hundred MegaJackpots games already running at Boy Gaming's fifteen casino facilities nationwide.
Tom Mikulich, International Game Technology's vice president of MegaJackpots said that they are very excited to have the chance to continue to give their complete array of games to Boyd Gaming facilities. He said that IGT continues to create and manage some of the most interesting gaming products available that offer gamers some of the world's biggest slot machine jackpots and well-known themes like Wheel Fortune. He added that they also have a long list of new games being released all the time.
The placement of additional MegaJackpots machines at Boyd Gaming facilities is already underway and is scheduled to be completed by the end of August 2009. The Boyd announcement follows IGT's announcement last week that it is installing about three hundred of its Wheel of Fortune slot machines into MGM Mirage casino facilities. IGT officials said that it was adding those slot machines to gaming floors immediately with work expected to be finalized by the end of August 2009.
The MegaJackpots branded gaming machines include linked progressive slot machines like Megabucks, eBay, Star Wars, The Price Is Right and multi-level progressive slot machines like Fort Knox and Indiana Jones. While linked progressives are popular for their progressive jackpot, they are also among the lowest returning slot machines in the casino facility based on the casino edge.

Jacqueline E. Whitt: Merry Chrismahanukwanzakah from Uncle Sam
Posted by Trey Barnett on 18 December 2013, 11:05 am
Toady we welcome a guest post from Jaqueline E. Whitt, author of Bringing God to Men: American Military Chaplains and the Vietnam War. During the second half of the twentieth century, the American military chaplaincy underwent a profound transformation. Broad-based and ecumenical in the World War II era, the chaplaincy emerged from the Vietnam War as generally conservative and evangelical. Before and after the Vietnam War, the chaplaincy tended to mirror broader social, political, military, and religious trends. During the Vietnam War, however, chaplains' experiences and interpretations of war placed them on the margins of both military and religious cultures. Because chaplains lived and worked amid many communities—religious and secular, military and civilian, denominational and ecumenical—they often found themselves mediating heated struggles over the conflict, on the home front as well as on the front lines.
In today's post, Whitt examines how today's military chaplains mediate and field arguments between both sides of the "War on Christmas" debate.
There's a Festivus Pole in the rotunda of the Florida state capitol. There are accusations of a "War on Christmas" and spirited rebuttals. The family know-it-all reminds everyone that Christmas trees have their origins in pre-Christian celebrations, were adopted by sixteenth-century German Protestants, and have since become essentially secular symbols. Suddenly, "Happy Holidays!" or "Merry Christmas!" or "Season's Greetings!" becomes coded language for particular political viewpoints.
These disputes represent, in tangible form, the tension between the two clauses of the First Amendment, one which establishes the right to "free exercise" of religion, and the other that prohibits the "establishment" of religion. They also highlight the simultaneous celebration of and unease caused by increasing religious diversity in the United States. Though these tensions are always there, for most Americans the reminder is most stark during the winter holiday season.
The same drama that unfolds in civilian life plays out, too, on military bases across the United States. Even as fewer Americans have direct ties to the military, the American military is understood as a respected national institution and symbol, and what happens on military installations is often construed as an indicator of broader social and political values and trends.
But even with big issues of religious freedom (or the freedom from it) at stake, on the ground, the issues tend toward the particular. What should a community holiday display on a military base look like? How should the religious origins of religious holidays be acknowledged? Which objects are secular symbols, and which ones are religious? The Supreme Court has ruled in several cases regarding holiday displays, but the guidance remains murky in implementation because of the different political and legal contexts under which cases were decided.
On one hand, some atheist and humanist groups have expressed concern over even diverse holiday displays—say, putting up a menorah beside the nativity scene. They argue that such displays, especially if they are outside of designated chapel areas and do not have other secular symbols, mark the entire installation as endorsing the celebration of religious holidays, and more often than not, the endorsement of Christian and Jewish holidays to the exclusion of others. If there is to be a Christmas display at the gate, where is the post-wide banner for the celebration of Ramadan? Or a colorful, light-filled display for Diwali?
The critics decry this position as political correctness run amok, or evidence of the military bowing to external political pressure. Just this month, at Shaw Air Force Base, the commander ordered a nativity scene removed from display, in accordance with regulations, because it was displayed alone and away from the chapel, rather than as part of a larger holiday display. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council said, "This is much more than a war on Christmas, this is a war on the freedom of religious expression." Though the commander explained the decision, the outcry was intense, and the scene was re-installed just a few days later, albeit on chapel grounds this time.
The difference between the two positions is stark—but the key to understanding the divergence rests in recognizing the different assumptions and interpretations of the First Amendment. For groups such as the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, the establishment clause is at the heart of the argument. And for Perkins and many other religious groups and individuals, the free exercise clause is central to the question. The problem, of course, is that the First Amendment doesn't give primacy to one clause over the other. They are co-equal and held in tension.
Over time, and particularly since the Vietnam War, the framework for the debate within the military has shifted. Somewhat ironically, as the population of military service members has become more religiously diverse, military chaplains have become, as a whole, more conservative and more evangelical, and thus more theologically and politically homogenous. The terms of the debate shifted from the chaplaincy's main goal being the protection of the free-exercise rights of service members to chaplains advocating for broader protections of their own free-exercise rights and those of their co-religionists. This shift becomes problematic when chaplains and commanders diminish the free-exercise rights of minority groups to insist on preserving the free-exercise rights of the majority.
Recognizing the tension inherent within the First Amendment is the critical first step—the prohibition against endorsement is just as important as the promise of free exercise. Honest, historically informed, analytical debate is the second step. Walking the middle ground between the two Constitutional assurances is much harder, but it is a task that demands our attention, not only on military installations, but also within society more broadly.

WILLISTON - A documentary about the Bakken will be one of the films up for an Oscar Sunday night.
"White Earth," a 20-minute film about North Dakota's oil boom from the perspective of three children and an immigrant mother, has received critical acclaim, including an Academy Award nomination for documentary short subject.
Director and producer J. Christian Jensen said he knew there were a lot of stories and films being made about North Dakota, but he wanted to approach it from a different perspective.
"I find that children have a way of speaking honestly and truthfully about things without sugarcoating the truth," Jensen said. "They are always watching. They're always listening. I felt like they could maybe give us some additional insight into what's happening and how the changes are affecting different types of families."
One of the children featured in the film, James McClellan, spent his days wandering around the tiny town of White Earth while his father constructed well pads for oil drilling.
"All I know is he sits in a bumpy bulldozer all day," McClellan says in the film.
He talks in the film about natural gas flaring in North Dakota and other impacts to the environment.
"Why should we just take away all the beauty from the landscape by putting up fires and making it smell horrible?" McClellan said. "But I don't know what would happen if there was no oilfields. That's the only job my dad ever worked in."
The film also features an immigrant family of five who moved to North Dakota from California and lived in an RV with a single bedroom in order to stay together rather than split up the family.
A local girl, Leevi Meyer, whose family has lived in North Dakota for generations, talks in the film about all the new people and changes the oil boom has brought to her home.
"When I'm really old, I think North Dakota will be back to normal," Meyer says in the film, a fifth-grader at the time.
Jensen filmed the documentary during several wintry months in 2012 and 2013 as the thesis project for his film program at Stanford.
The local family continues to live in North Dakota, but the other families have since left the state, Jensen said.
Jensen said he's grateful for the people of North Dakota who helped make the film possible. He's hoping to have a public screening of the documentary in the Oil Patch.
"White Earth" has received many awards, including best cinematography from the Fargo Film Festival last year. It can be viewed at www.whiteearthmovie.com for a $3.99 rental fee.

Community Action to Transform Cale Habitat (CATCH) is a volunteer community group founded by two local dads, Gary Hunt and Matt Bishop in November 2012. The groups objective is to improve and maintain the habitat of the River Cale in the Wincanton area, whilst encouraging a diverse, natural balance of wildlife.
The River Cale was used for industrial purposes for many years, and has been shaped by human needs at various points (dredging, etc). It suffered at the hands of humans in 2000 when a slurry spill resulted in a huge number fish & invertebrates being eradicated. In September of 2011 a local cheese factory suffered a devastating fire, with the run off water containing dairy product which de-oxygenated the river and killed further numbers of fish.
The project began with simple things like organised litter picks, and clearing out some of the historical debris from the river. Later in 2013 we invited the Wild Trout Trust to survey the river, and give advice and guidance on where and how we could make improvements. Using their advisory report as the foundation for our group, we continue to nurture the once forgotten urban river.
Families are so important to us, ensuring they have quality time together, out in the fresh air whilst enjoying each other's company. The river gives us that opportunity and at the same time gets friends and families out enjoying nature at its best.
The River Cale runs for approximately thirteen miles from its source to the confluence with the Dorset river Stour. At present our efforts are mostly concentrated on the stretch flowing through Wincanton and about a mile south of the A303. Our aim is to eventually monitor and evolve the entire length of the river Cale. The map below shows our primary area of operation.
If you have a particular concern about, or interest in, some other part of the river and would like to share it with us, or ask us for help and/or advice on dealing with a particular issue, please do not hesitate to get in touch. If we cannot help you directly, we'll try to rustle up one of our contacts who can!


Closet organization and the consolidation of one's material possessions is an art form.
Babies sometimes have nightmares. Isn't that weird?
I live 7 miles further from work than I used to, but it really doesn't take much longer to get there.
My sister-in-law is about ten times better than I am at the drums on Rock Band.
I don't get much done when there's two friends/family members and an adorable infant around.
I have been back from the trip I've yet to write about for almost a week and a half. I have a saved draft detailing it all, but I can't finish it yet. So instead I'll write a little about everything else.
I live with my brother and sister-in-law now outside the city. Owen and I plan to start carpooling to work soon and I've been trying to help out around the house. I've been able to entertain my niece a lot which is pretty much the best thing ever.
I have been out of the apartment for a week now. It's odd not living there anymore but I am also glad to see my family so much. I have been getting up earlier around here too, and actually getting some things done in the morning. I even did my Jillian Michaels DVD for the first time since my trip. The time lapse was evident; that workout was brutal.
I did the 30 Day Shred for three weeks in June. I can't brag about losing a whole lot of weight with it, but I did notice some nice toning with my arms. That is a big deal to me, believe me.
I went to my home town for the Fourth of July and it looks like I'll be going home this weekend, too. My friend in Alaska is visiting.
So I totally forgot to blog last night which meant I broke my streak of blogging every weeknight for like two months. Whoops.
And I'll be wrapping away. I made some cards last night so I've been making preparations in pieces, anyway.
I had a pretty good day today. I was productive all day and then tonight I got to see Jessie, who I hadn't seen in like a month or something crazy like that, and we had a great conversation outside in the nice weather. She offered to help me move when I get back from California and I just wanted to hug her because I had no idea how the heck I was going to get my bed to my new room.
I haven't seen Eileen in almost two weeks. I miss her already and she hasn't even moved yet. But we're going to have an awesome road trip, Eileen, Liz and I.
In the middle of my freak out last week over where the heck I'm going to live after July 1, my dad called with an idea. He suggested I ask my brother and sister-in-law if I could live with them for the summer.
It was a simple solution had been there the whole time, or at the very least, an option I'd never considered. I was really skeptical that they'd go for it; they were probably pretty used to having their house to themselves and, oh yeah, their infant. Just the same, I e-mailed Owen later that day and tried to sell the idea as best I could. I said I could pay rent and help out with the mortgage and watch Hannah if they wanted to go on a date night or go to the store. On Monday morning, he e-mailed back and said they were open to the idea, and added he and I could carpool! (We work within a mile of each other).
The idea of my rent, water, gas, internet and electric bills being rolled into one check is very appealing. Sharing the apartment and its costs with Brandon was just right for my budget; we split rent/water down the middle, I paid gas, he paid electric and internet. We used to alternate who paid for groceries, even. I've been able to pay all these utilities on my own, but it's made saving difficult. Not to mention some car repairs and a plane ticket from California I dropped cash on recently. So, that's what this summer will be about: saving, as well as making plans for the future.
Come the fall, I'll need to either be ready to make some big changes or be willing to commit to signing another lease in the Short North somewhere with a roommate.
In other news, I've been doing the "30 Day Shred" DVD every day, except for Friday and Saturday. I should have done it Saturday, but I was lazy. However, maybe a second rest day the first week wasn't such a bad idea. I've done it every day since then, so that's 7 work outs in 9 days.
I contributed to a brainstorming session tonight for Shadowbox; they're trying to come up with common Halloween candy and costumes that their evangelist character could deem evil and unholy. That was fun to play around with.
I just submitted two sketch ideas to the Shadowbox online forum – a more generalized version of "The Hills" parody I described to my dad, and a sketch making fun of "Twilight." It's for the Halloween show, after all. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, and I am feeling better about it all than I was 48 hours ago.
The day after my interview/confirmation of insanity, I was sent my personal login information for the writers' team forum, where they share basic sketch ideas, outlines and drafts. There, the other writers will read, comment and give direction for an idea and the original writer (or another writer, if so inclined) will go from there and take the next step. I was encouraged to take other people's ideas and work from them if I felt like I had a good direction to take it in.
I think he may be thinking of the time he once politely questioned my decision to major in journalism, when at the time I was hardly a news junkie. I accused him of saying I was simply not smart enough to be a reporter and promptly burst into tears in a canoe in the middle of a lake. It's true – at that moment in my life, I was not terrible receptive to constructive criticism. However, to be fair, being judged by our parents, whom most strive hardest in their whole lives to appease, feels far worse than being criticized by anyone else on the planet. And besides, that was years ago. And look how far that journalism degree got me! …Oh, wait.
But, back to today. Confidence slightly restored, I resigned myself to submitting at least two ideas, since the head writer had e-mailed and requested two outlines by the end of this coming week. Much like in college, when I couldn't *possibly* write a boring paper when my half of the room was dirty (remember when you were confined to/responsible for only half of a room?), I couldn't bring myself to submit any sketch ideas with a sink full of dishes. That is why I am announcing this pitiful accomplishment at 10 p.m. on Sunday night. This has been my weekend.
Well, the rest of my weekend has mostly been made up of me talking to other people about how very excited I am to have the chance to show my stuff as a sketch comedy writer – there was little sketch comedy writing involved until very recently. I went to a going-away party for a couple Muskingum friends who are moving out of state in two weeks. There were lots of people there, only four of whom I knew prior to, but I really enjoyed meeting all those new people last night and talking to them. Seth and Amy have cultivated a pretty awesome circle of friends in their time in Columbus. I am sure they are sad to leave them for the time being.
The weekend's gone by way too fast, as usual, but I've got plenty going on this week. Aside from trying to convey sketch premises as non-idiotic ideas, I'll be shooting more footage for the Summit Workshop on Tuesday and doing a wedding related video on Thursday. Bonus: I get to see B.C. and Christina as a result of Thursday's plans. Hooray!
I took the day off and bought my dad and my grandpa dinner for the first time ever. Technically, it was lunch, but the sentiment was there.
I came across a CD of the radio work I did in college. I listened to it and it wasn't as bad as I was afraid it would be. So I imported it, and I am making YouTube videos of them all so I can have them on the interwebs forever and ever. I'm glad the CD, the only known copy of my limited audio work, wasn't all scratched to hell. Thank you, Radio Gods! And thanks to Muskingum University and the professors I had that made me work hard. I am really glad I have this now.
My dad will be so thrilled when I plaster his mug all over the radio interview I did with him about one of his books that came out that year. Woo hoo!

'Blue Economy Summit' Highlights Importance of Marine Ecosystems in Achieving Global Sustainability
Publishing Date 19 Jan 2014 Available as Press Release
Topic ADSW
The 'Blue Economy Summit' was held today in Abu Dhabi to address the unique climate and sustainably challenges facing Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and marine ecosystems. With over 70 percent of the world's surface covered by oceans, protecting the health of marine environments is fundamental to protecting the world's interconnected economies and long-term sustainability.
Today's summit is a continuation of the blue economy concept, which was introduced and debated during the United Nation's Rio+20 conference held June 2012 in Rio de Janeiro. As a result of Rio+20, the blue economy concept – and the urgency to build resilient marine ecosystems – was recognized as a central theme of global sustainable development, climate mitigation and poverty eradication.
"The importance of the Blue Economy to humankind cannot be underestimated: over 70 percent of our planet is covered by ocean; 90 percent of the world's trade in goods is conducted by sea. Oceans transcend states. They connect us all to each other. And we must harness these connections for development, not just enrichment," said James Alix Michel, president of the Republic of Seychelles.
"We also need to ensure that the benefits from economic activity in our oceans translate into real benefits for our populations," added President Michel. "We cannot consider that it is sustainable for certain large industrial fishing fleets to exploit the resources of one sea to the point of exhaustion and then simply move on to other areas. Inclusion, ownership and empowerment of coastal populations are core elements of implementing the Blue Economy."
The Blue Economy Summit in Abu Dhabi is an important milestone in identifying the right policy frameworks that support the shift of SIDS and coastal regions toward sustainable development. How island nations and ocean-linked communities adopt a sustainable trajectory will again be addressed during the United Nation's Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States, September 2014, in Apia, Samoa.
"The UAE is working closely with the international community to address sustainable economic growth, global food security, environmental protection and the impacts of climate change," said H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE minister of state and CEO of Masdar, Abu Dhabi's renewable energy company. "From our fishing to our tourism industry, maintaining the health of our coastlines, mangrove forests and oceans is vital to our economy.
"Today's Blue Economy Summit places a renewed emphasis on the critical need to address the long-term sustainability of our international waters," added Dr. Al Jaber. "We must work together to find the right policy frameworks and commercial opportunities to balance and protect the health of our oceans."
The Blue Economy Summit, which ran January 19-20, was organized by UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Masdar and in partnership with the government of the Republic of Seychelles. The event was also attended by Lord Tu'ivakanō, prime minister and minister of foreign affairs of Tonga, and H.E Dr. The Honourable Navinchandra Ramgoolam, prime minister of Mauritius.
Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, January 18-25, is an annual platform to address the interconnected challenges impacting the widespread adoption of renewable energy and the acceleration of sustainable development. The platform includes a series of events: the fourth assembly of the International Renewable Energy Agency; the seventh World Future Energy Summit; the second International Water Summit; the first EcoWASTE exhibition; and the sixth Zayed Future Energy Prize Awards Ceremony.

A: You can perhaps make things simple by running a loop like below using brace expansion from the /home/cmccabe/Desktop/s5.2/ as
outf="/home/cmccabe/Desktop/s5.2/final.txt"

for f in ./Folder{1,2}/*.txt; do
    printf "%s\n" "$(< $f )" >> "$outf"
done

A: You do not need the for-loop.
topdir=/home/cmccabe/Desktop/s5.2
dir1=/home/cmccabe/Desktop/s5.2/Folder1
dir2=/home/cmccabe/Desktop/s5.2/Folder2
outf=$topdir/all.txt
cp $dir1/*.txt $outf
# The question is not complete clear to me,
# the next echo can be deleted when you do not want an empty line
echo >> $outf
sed -e '1 d' $dir2/*.txt >> $outf

or
cat $dir1/*.txt <(echo) <(sed -e '1 d' $dir2/*.txt) > $outf

Find Your Chances of Admission to Cornell University
As one of eight Ivy League Colleges, Cornell University ranks among the most selective U.S. universities. If you're curious about your chances of being accepted by Cornell, Go4Ivy can help by calculating your chances of admission. In 2001, Go4Ivy developed a separate algorithm for each Ivy League college and university (including Cornell), which predicts students' chances of being accepted by each school. Over the last 15 years, Go4Ivy has continually updated and revised these algorithms, as schools have changed their admission criteria and their approaches to admissions. Over the last 15 years our predictions have been over 90% correct (100% correct the last two years). Go4Ivy refunds the fee for any school for which its prediction turns out to be incorrect. We are proud to have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

The History of Cornell University
Cornell University was founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell, a self-made businessman involved in the formation of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and Andrew Dickson White, a respected scholar and politician. Cornell is the youngest member of the Ivy League and has the largest undergraduate program of the Ivy League colleges.
Cornell University is unique in that it is includes private and public colleges. Three of the seven Cornell undergraduate colleges (College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, College of Industrial and Labor Relations and College of Human Ecology) are land grant/state funded colleges. New York residents attending the public colleges of Cornell pay a reduced tuition (roughly $15,000 less per year).

Q: error file .htaccess 500 Internal Server Error I have a problem with installing a php script coupon
if load .htaccess file

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
  unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@lefrasibelle.com
  to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you
  performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error
  log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while
  trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

this is my .htaccess file

What could be your problem?

A: You say in the comments that the problematic line is SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On, taking into account that line and the comment from the first line it seems that you are using code based on this blog post:
Detecting mod_rewrite using PHP
Since the blog post explains that the SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On is a workaround for versions of PHP lower than 4.3.2 (the post is from 2009) you should just delete that line because is not needed nowadays, the detection method described there will use instead apache_get_modules() for current versions of PHP.
Also note that this line is not needed at all for using mod_rewrite, what activates mod_rewrite is RewriteEngine On.

Chop onion into wedges and roughly dice the other vegetables into approximately 2 cm cubes. Pour over enough oil to coat and then add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, salt and pepper and toss to mix through. You can add any fresh or dried herbs at this point - there is no hard and fast rule - just any flavours that you enjoy.
Spread onto a large roasting dish big enough so that all the vegetables are on a single layer. Roast for approximately 20-30 minutes at 190 C. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Many have been waiting for and wondering about the next installment for Motorola's Atrix series. Well, the wait is pretty much over. There has been many rumors for release dates after there was a sighting on Bluetooth SIG's website giving us a clue that it was in one of the final stages before release for consumers to get their hands on. No official specs have been released except for a lot of speculations such as, a Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB of RAM, 4G LTE, a 4.3 in. display w/ 1280 x 720 resolution and possibly a 13 megapixel rear camera! And don't forget about Android 4.0, maybe even Jellybean? Not sure, but we are sure AT&T will carry the Atrix 3 as they did the Atrix and Atrix 2. Some are even assuming that AT&T will keep it, w/contract, near $200.
As many already know, the fingerprint scanner was a huge hit with the revealing of the first Motorola Atrix along with the dock package that came with it, the second installment lacked the fingerprint scanner which could have easily been a cause for the reduced attention it gained.
The Motorola Atrix 2, released fall of 2011, already a 4.3 in. display, 540 x 960 pixels (inferior to what may be expected with the Atrix 3), 8 ½ hours of talk time, roughly 16 days stand by time, and an 8 megapixel camera which will be quickly forgotten without regret if the Motorola Atrix 3 showcases a 13 megapixel camera. There seems to be a bit of a balance game comparing the past specs to the speculation specs of the Atrix 3.
But putting the assumptions aside, we should be hearing official info about this in the coming weeks with possibly its release, so stay tuned in as we will bring you the updates before you know it.

Transport environments for everyone
Cyclist delay at traffic signals
Commuting trips by bicycle are generally short. The average one way commuter trip by bicycle in New Zealand is 4.1km long and takes 18.2 minutes. Delay at intersections increases travel time and can be frustrating, particularly in a road network where the primary intersection control is traffic signals. Intersection phase timing is based on the efficient movement of motorised traffic, with no consideration given to the needs of cyclists.
This study has set out to quantify the amount of delay experienced at traffic signals by a cyclist during peak hour traffic. A secondary objective was to determine the most suitable means of collecting the necessary cycle trip data. The literature review identified several previous studies that recognised travel time as a significant factor of bicycle route and mode choice but none that quantified what component of travel time could be attributed to delay.
A total of 80 trips were made in the AM and PM peak hour traffic in Christchurch in 2013. Trip details and time stopped at traffic signals were recorded on each trip using a GPS-enabled cycle computer. Two routes were used that included multiple signalised intersections, one which generally followed major arterial roads and the other which generally followed minor arterial roads. As expected, the trips on the major arterial route experienced fewer and shorter delays than the minor arterial trips.
Four different measures have been used to identify delay in this study; average delay per stop, average delay per intersection, average delay per kilometre, and average delay as a percentage of total trip time. The average level of delay was identified and compared for the full routes and for the inner and outer city components of both routes.
The study was undertaken by Jon Ashford as a research report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Transportation.

SAN DIEGO >> Hundreds of Pokémon Go fans took over the Gaslamp Quarter on Friday night as part of the fan-organized Pokémon pub crawl outside San Diego Comic-Con International.
"I figured there were a lot of Pokémon Go fans at Comic-Con that were 21 (and older), and a bar crawl seemed the easiest solution. I just did not expect it to become what it has," said Caitlin Teasdale, 28, of Austin, Texas, the organizer of the Pokehunt. Hundreds of people lined up outside the Razer GO tent outside the convention center to snatch up their free wristbands, bingo cards and directions for the night's hunt.
Teasdale printed up 300 wristbands, which entitled the wearer to special discounted drinks at the seven Gaslamp Quarter bars participating in the nerdy pub crawl — but nearly double that amount showed up.
That didn't discourage the participants, though. Even after being told there were no more wristbands, hundreds still opted to play along just for the fun of it.
"It's just about getting together and having a good time with people playing a game you like," said Justin Tardio of San Diego. Tardio and his friends, who also happen to be members of the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus, traveled to the Gaslamp district just for the game.
"We didn't get badges for Comic-Con, but when we saw this on Facebook we really wanted to come," said Tardio, a level 25 Pokémon trainer.
The hugely popular app, based on the Pokémon cartoon from the 1990s and the equally beloved card game of the same name, gets players outside exploring their surroundings in order to catch the elusive critters, train them and then battle them. Once they reach a certain level, trainers must choose to be part of one of three teams: Valor, Mystic or Instinct.
Seven bars, Zumbido inside the Omni Hotel, Tipsy Crow, Whiskey Girl, Taste & Thirst, Dublin Square, Stout Public House and Atomic Gaslamp, were designated stops on the crawl and offered the thirsty trainers specials on drinks for the evening.
At the start of the night, several people formed Pokémon-pinching posses and bravely went into the trendy district, glowing cell phones in hand. Many made the nearby Zumbido their first stop.
A large Team Valor group, some wearing red baseball caps with the team's logo, ordered drinks and sat trying to catch a few Pokémon. As more arrived, they all shouted a hearty greeting of "Team Valor!"
One lone player responded with "Team Mystic" to which a Valor member responded, "Team Mystic? More like mistake!"
The clever insult elicited laughter from the crowd, even from the Mystic member.
The rivalry between the teams was evident.
Brothers Len and Joe Kody found themselves on opposite teams Friday. Len for Mystic and Joe for Instinct.
"I mean, we're brothers. We're used to fighting," laughed Len Kody.
Players continued to spill into the now-jumping and bustling streets.
Cheers could be heard from different corners as players captured Pokémon and groaned in unison when one managed to get away.
"I've never seen so many people playing Pokémon Go all together at the same time," said Anthony Cardenas, soon after he nabbed a Meowth outside the Whiskey Girl bar. "I've met a lot of pretty cool people tonight and that's pretty cool."
