Last month, I took advantage of the Boots 3 for 2 offer on all L'Oréal face products and picked up two washes and a scrub for just £7.98. I've had my eye on the clay collection for a while and was desperate for a face wash that was cleansing and not too harsh on my skin.
This is the first product I picked up as I love all skin products that contain charcoal, it's supposed to act like a magnet and draw out all impurities within the skin. This product claims to cleanse, clarify and detoxify your skin by capturing those impurities, including excess oil and make-up residue.
I've seen no end of reviews on this product and I was desperate to try it for myself. I'm actually really impressed with this face wash, it is gentle on my skin and helps to keep it hydrated yet oil free. My skin feels super clean after using it and any acne I've had recently has dried up a lot faster than usual.
I love the thickness and gel like consistency with this product, it's super runny when you're squeezing it out of the bottle so make sure to catch it all before you drip any. I love the inky black colour too!
It's quite cold when you first apply it and feels sticky and smooth at the same time, kind of silky yet gooey! It massages really well into your skin, I found that it is the perfect product to use after having make up on the entire day. It washes it away so well, leaving your skin not only looking fresher but also feeling smooth and squeaky clean. A definite repurchase!
The second product I chose was this Purity Wash. Like the detox wash, this is a gel based formula, but a little thicker consistency in comparison and not as sticky. It lathers a lot better when combined with water so you only need to use a small amount as it does go far.
Instead of charcoal, this purity wash contains eucalyptus, which helps to keep your skin calm and prevent future breakouts. I found that when using the wash, it did help to make feel very soft and luxurious, but not as cleansing at the detox wash.
From the first use, my skin felt smooth and clear, with excess oil reduced dramatically. It does actually claim to be mattifying, which in it's defence, it is! However I found it to be a bit more on the drying side when used every day, my skin got very dry and irritated and so this made it my least favourite of the three I purchased. It smells gorgeous, but I won't be repurchasing this one.
Out of the three purchases, is is definitely my favourite. I love the very fine, sand-like scrub as it's not too harsh on my sensitive skin, yet easily removes dead skin cells and impurities. It also contains red algae which is well known for its skin brightening properties.
The scrub is a gorgeous brick red colour, that actually tempted me to buy the product in the first place. The smell is absolutely beautiful and doesn't linger on the skin too much afterwards. I also love that it doesn't cause any skin breakouts or any other irritation, this one doesn't dry up my skin like the purity wash did either.
In fact, since I have started using this scrub my skin has stopped shining like grease lightening and I've actually found that it helps to balance out my combination skin. I love that it works well and is so gentle at the same time, making it great for everyday use.
A definite repurchase for me!
Overall, I am totally loving the new L'Oréal range and cannot wait to try out some more of their products soon! I've read no end of great reviews regarding the pure clay masks and sugar scrubs, maybe they'll be next on my 'to try' list.
What do you think of these little tubes of goodness? Tried any yet?
Glad you found it interesting Laura, definitely recommend trying a few!
No I've never used their products before either, I'm really impressed ! You should defo give the scrub a try!

Q: How to model a Friend - Friendship relationship in Grails How would you model a friend - friendship relationship in Grails? Until now my User class had many followers
class User {
//Searchable plugin
static searchable = true

String userId
String password
boolean enabled = true

// For Spring Security plugin's user registration.
String email
String userRealName
boolean emailShow

Date dateCreated
Profile profile

static hasMany = [
        posts : Post,
        tags : Tag,
        following : User,
        authorities : Role,
        notifications: Notification,
        locations: Location,
        incomingLocations:IncomingLocation,

]
static belongsTo = Role

static constraints = {
    userId(blank: false, size:3..20, unique: true)
    password(blank: false)
    dateCreated()
    profile(nullable: true)
    userRealName(nullable: true, blank: true)
    email(nullable: true, blank: true)
}

static mapping = {
    profile lazy:false
}

}
But I would like to change the following:User for something like friendships:Friendship and create a Friendship class as following:
class Friendship {

static belongsTo= [user:User]
User friend2
boolean areFriends

}
Is this an ideal implementation?
How would you implement the handshake (accept/reject a pending friendship)?

A: You might not need to model Friendship directly. You can just have a hasMany relationship that relates the Users as friends. You don't create that relationship until someone accepts a FriendRequest. If they no longer want to be friends, then just remove the relationship between the 2 Users.
class User {
    static hasMany = [friends:User]
}

class FriendRequest {
    User fromUser
    User toUser
}

That way Friendship doesn't have to do 2 things (relate users and track statuses). And friends becomes a natural object relationship which can make some things like optimizing fetching a bit easier.

With so many places to visit, it's imperative that you have a high-end sports car rental for your travels. The fast speeds, extreme performance and exceptional ride make your vacation even more enjoyable. Turn heads as you drive through the city or take an extended, relaxing trip to the countryside.
You deserve to drive a high-class Maserati Ghibli rental in the USA when you travel with family or business clients. This five-passenger sedan has the room to hold everyone comfortably while still giving you access to a powerful 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine that produces 424 horsepower. The gas-pressurized shock absorbers, electric power-assist speed-sensing steering and double wishbone suspension ensure that the ride is smooth and relaxing no matter what's happening on the road. As you sit in the tech-filled interior, you'll be able to use the two LCD monitors and eight-way power heated front seats to have more enjoyment on the trip ahead.
When you get behind the wheel of the two-passenger Corvette Stingray Convertible for hire, you are stepping into an American icon. This rear-wheel-drive cabriolet demands attention from onlookers and you'll surely receive it everywhere you go. With the powerful 6.2-liter 8-cylinder engine and 455 horsepower, you'll also be able to put your right foot down and feel this car move. Sit in the sport bucket seats, put on your sunglasses, listen to the six-speaker sound system and wrap your hands around the leather steering wheel. Nothing prepares you for a day of sightseeing quite like riding in a high-powered convertible does.
The Lamborghini Huracan Spyder rental isn't just your typical supercar, but it offers heart-pounding performance unlike any other. With the 5.2-liter V10 engine and 602 horsepower, you can feel intense speeds during your trip. The stylish angular design stands out in a crowd, yet remains elegant and sophisticated. This rear-wheel-drive convertible also features some safety equipment like ABS and Driveline Traction Control to give you extra peace of mind on the road. Throw your bag in the front luggage compartment, put down the top or use your dual-zone front automatic climate control system to prepare yourself for the excitement and fun ahead.
There are about 500 miles of breathtaking coastline between San Diego and San Francisco. In a Corvette Stingray Convertible rental, you might need about eight hours of traveling time to drive from one to the other, but we recommend taking your time and exploring Highway 101. This path not only takes you on the most scenic route but also allows you to pass through Santa Barbara wine country, which is worthy of a few days visit itself. The Pacific Coast Highway is a favorite drive in California, mainly because of the cliff-side ocean views and lush forest surroundings. Stretch your legs and make plenty of stops along the way to create a trip you'll never forget.
With the help of your luxury sports car rental, you can enjoy the fresh air with a convertible or set aside some time to get away from business appointments and soak up more of the beautiful oceanside views.

Speaker to Discuss Battle of Cantigny: First Battle Won by American Forces 100 Years Ago Has Connections to Old Fort Niagara
by Charlotte Clark
Fri, May 4th 2018 09:00 am
A free lecture by author and historian Matthew Davenport on May 19 will feature the history depicted in this prominent mural in the Fort Niagara Officers' Club, called "The Lions of Cantigny." It highlights the U.S. 28th Infantry Regiment, which was victorious in the Battle of Cantingy one hundred years ago. Mr. Davenport wrote First Over There: The Attack on Cantigny, America's First Battle in World War One. (Photo by L. Gugino)
(May 4, 2018) Youngstown, N.Y. – "The Lions of Cantigny" is a colorful, prominent mural at the west end of the Fort Niagara Officers' Club main hall in Fort Niagara State Park. It depicts hand-to-hand combat between the U.S. Army's 28th Infantry Regiment and the German 18th Army on May 28 and 29, 1918. Visitors to Old Fort Niagara's special events who have been in the building and have seen the mural may have wondered:
What does it have to do with Fort Niagara?
The Battle of Cantigny in northern France, on May 28-29, 1918, was the first offensive action and victory for the American Expeditionary Forces sent to Europe in World War One. The 28th Infantry Regiment, which was part of the 1st Division of the AEF, played a critical role in the Battle of Cantigny. After the war, this regiment returned to the U.S. and garrisoned Fort Niagara from 1922 to 1940.
The 28th Infantry Regiment received a unit decoration from the French government, as well as the regimental title, "The Lions of Cantigny." In 1938, the regiment commissioned Buffalo artist, Hubert H. Crawford (1910-1985), to depict a scene from the battle for the main hall of their new Bachelor Officers Quarters and Open Mess, today known as the "Officers' Club."
In commemoration of this historic battle's 100th anniversary and its connection to the fort, Old Fort Niagara will host a lecture by Matthew Davenport, author of First Over There: The Attack on Cantigny, America's First Battle in World War One, on Saturday, May 19. Mr. Davenport will tell the inspiring, untold story of the soldiers and their journey to victory on the Western Front in the Battle of Cantigny based on their letters, diaries and reports. He will make his presentation below the mural depicting the very same history.
The lecture will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Fort Niagara Officers' Club located at 2 Scott Avenue, Fort Niagara State Park, Youngstown, NY, 14174. It is free and open to the public. ADA-accessible viewing will be available in the fort's Visitor Center simultaneously. Reservations are not required.
First Over There: The Attack on Cantigny, America's First Battle in World War One will be for sale at the lecture or can be purchased in advance from the fort's Museum Shop located in the Visitor Center (Thomas Dunn Books, St. Martin's Press, New York, US$28.99).
Matthew Davenport served in the U.S. Army Reserve, is a member of the American Legion, and was the recipient of the Daughters of the American Revolution 2017 Medal of Honor. A native of St. Louis and a former prosecutor, he practices law in eastern North Carolina where he teaches at East Carolina University and lives with his wife and two sons. His book was a finalist for the prestigious Guggenheim-Lehrman Prize in Military History and has been heralded by Pulitzer-Prize winning historian James McPherson as "military history at its best."
The lecture is sponsored by a Humanities New York Vision/Action Grant with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Enthusiasts of World War One history who attend the lecture are welcome to visit the Old Fort Niagara historic site and museum afterward. The museum currently features the exhibit "Fort Niagara in the Great War," which shows how the fort was used as a training facility for two United States Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) camps in 1917 when the ROTC program was just getting started. The exhibit features uniforms, artifacts, letters and photos specific to the training camps. Admission into the historic site and museum is $12 for adults, $8 for children ages 6-12, free for children under 6, and free for members of the Old Fort Niagara Association.

Legends, myths, old wives' tales; whether you're talking about Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster, or how long you should wait to swim after eating, understanding what's true and what isn't can save you a lot of time, and more importantly money. When it comes to your home, time and money are two significant things. This is why distinguishing facts from myths about the process of a cash-out refinance loan is so crucial.
Here are five common myths about cash-out refinancing, and why they aren't true.
If you took advantage of low-interest rates several years ago, you might be under the impression that you can't refinance again. The truth is that there are no limits on how many times you can refinance your mortgage.
The money you get from your cash-out refinance can be used for many different things. Many people use these funds to update, repair, or renovate their home. The money can also be used to consolidate high-interest debts like credit cards and other loans. Reducing, or eliminating these obligations can lower overall monthly payments, depending on your situation.
Believing that removing the equity from your home and starting a new mortgage leaves you with "nothing" is a common misunderstanding. This statement is inaccurate in a few ways. First of all, most lenders only allow you to borrow up to 80% of the equity in your home; leaving 20% intact. Also, you don't lose the equity, you hold it in cash now, as opposed to value in the home. If you use the funds to make improvements to your home, equity can be quickly added.
Interest rates do not directly influence mortgage rates. However, when the Federal Reserve increases rates, mortgage rates tend to follow. This does not mean your opportunity to refinance your mortgage is gone. Depending on the amount of equity you take in cash, how you use it, you can save money monthly, in spite of a slightly higher interest rate.
Many homeowners believe that refinancing can only change the rate and/or term of their existing mortgage. .While your rate and term may change the timing of a cash-out refinance, the goal is to access the equity in your house by taking cash out. You may select the same term and will get the market rate.
These are only some of the common misunderstandings that surround a cash-out refinance loan. The home loan experts at Standard Mortgage (NMLS#: 44912) have been assisting homeowners in financing and refinancing their homes for the past 90 years.

 Japanese sea cucumbers are made by drying fresh sea cucumbers. They are a kind of sea food that is of high nutritious value. Though they live in the sea, the sea cucumber is one of a warm-tonifying nature. Similar to ginseng in this regard, they are called Haishen (literally "ginseng of the sea") in Chinese. However, they are not of hot nature. Instead, they are a mild nature food.
The Japanese Sea Cucumbers have roughly identical diet therapy efficacy and their processing steps are roughly the same. According to their species and origin, they can be categorized into Hokkaido Sea Cucumber, Kanto Sea Cucumber, Kansai Sea Cucumber, Okinawa Sea Cucumber, Akita Sea Cucumber, Red Sea Cucumber, and Okinawa Sea Cucumber. In general, they can be rehydrated from 4 to 8 times their original weight (depending on various specifications and rehydrating degrees).
Hokkaido Sea Cucumber→ These are mainly produced in Hokkaido, a region to the north of Kanto. Due to geographical, climate, and water quality factors, their quality is of sea cucumbers belong to top grade, in spite of their slow growing speed. Despite their small size, they are characterized by thick, tender, and smooth meat, thin grayish brown skin, and dense conical spikes (about 6 columns) of various sizes. This is why they are also called Chishen (literally "spiking cucumber") in Chinese. They can be rehydrated to about 8 -fold their original weight .
Kanto Sea Cucumber→ These are mainly produced in Kanto region. Due to geographical, climate, and water quality factors, their quality is also of top grading, in spite of their slow growing speed. They are not big in size, but their meat is thick. They are characterized by tender and smooth meat, dense (but sparser than those of Hokkaido Sea Cucumbers) conical spikes (about 6 columns), and thin skin that is grayish black in most cases. They can be rehydrated to about 6-fold their original weight.
Kansai Sea Cucumber→ Mainly produced in Kansai region, they are cylinder shaped and characterized by succulent, grayish black meat. Their bodies are sparsely covered with spikes of various sizes. Their meat, which smells pleasant, is soft and smooth. They can be rehydrated to about 4-fold their original weight. The water used for the rehydration of Kansai Sea Cucumber has a faint greenish color, which is a natural phenomenon because of their growing environment and their consumption of algae as staple food.
Okinawa Sea Cucumber→ Mainly produced in the Kansai region, they are of the genus Stichopus, characterized by spikes along their sides and a layer of grayish white carbon powder. Their meat is soft and smooth and has an agreeable flavor. They can be rehydrated to about 5-fold their original weight.
Akita Sea Cucumber→ Mainly produced in Akita Prefecture, Kansai in Northeastern Japan, these cucumbers are of the genus Stichopus and have a shape that is similar to Kanto Sea Cucumbers. They are characterized by thin light grayish dark skin, sparse spikes, and tender, glutinous, soft, and smooth meat. They can be rehydrated to about 6-fold their original weight.
Red Sea Cucumber→ Mainly produced in Southwestern Japan, these cucumbers are also called Hongzishen in Chinese. They are stout and their yellowish brown or red brown surface is covered with sparse and barely visible spikes. Their appearance is distinct and their thick, soft, and smooth meat tastes light and smells pleasant. They can be rehydrated to about 4-fold their original weight.
Okinawa Sea Cucumber→ Mainly produced in Okinawa, Japan, these spindle-shaped cucumbers are not of the genus Stichopus. Their backs are dark brown and their bellies are yellowish brown. Their body walls are thin and translucent in some part. They have a strong smell and their meat is chewy and smooth. They can be rehydrated to about 4-fold their original weight. Because the processing methods and cucumber species vary, the water used for the rehydration of Kansai Sea Cucumber sometimes may have a faint yellowish grey color, which is a natural phenomenon.
Sea Cucumbers have kidney-tonifying, essence-replenishing, blood-nourishing, skin-moistening, complexion-beautifying, and anti-aging properties. In particular, they are beneficial to people with a weak constitutions.
Characteristics : Tastes sweet and salty, in warm nature.
Soak the sea cucumbers in water for about 3 days (depending on their sizes), and change the water at least twice or three times every day. When the weather is hot,please conduct above procedure in fridge(0-8℃).
Put them in boiling water and boil for about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover the vessel, and allow the water to cool down. If the cucumbers are too large, repeat the previous steps 1 or 2 times until the sea cucumbers become soft.
Remove the sea cucumbers from the water and cut them open to remove internal organs and impurities. Rinse them and cut them into pieces (according to cooking requirements), and then set aside for later use.
Place them into hot water with ginger, shallot, and wine and boil for about 5 minutes, and they will be ready for cooking. If not cook immediately, it should be chilled (at 0-8°C) for storage and should be cooked and consumed within 1 week.
Notes : a. There might be a few fine grains of sand in the sea cucumber belly which must be thoroughly rinsed out before cooking.
b. When soaking sea cucumbers, make sure all utensils are free of oil and that no salt is added into the water. When removing internal organs from the sea cucumber, do not break the peritoneum, otherwise, the sea cucumber may loosen during cook.
Sea cucumbers should be stored in a ventilated and cool place. If they are to be consumed over a long period of time, they should be sealed and chilled (at 0-8°C).
Sea cucumbers are tonifying and beneficial and have good diet therapy effects. However, they taste light and have to be cooked with broth and oyster sauce to enhance their delicious taste.
We serve sea cucumbers with chicken, ribs and dried scallops. Upon receiving fully cooked sea cucumbers, customers can reheat the dishes before dining. Customers may inquire our shop assistants for further information.
Dried Abalones are made by drying fresh abalones.They are a kind of seafood with vision-improving effects and rich in nutrients. Therefore, they are also called "Mingmuyu" (literally "vision-improving") in China. Generally, they are graded by the number of pieces per kilogram. The fewer the number, the higher their value.
 Ami Abalone→ The origin of Ami Abalone is Aomori Prefecture, Japan. The body size of abalone is comparatively bigger. The edge is thick and rough.The suction cap at the bottom part is comparatively sharp. The back of the abalone is in bead shape. It is in dark brown color and there is some white powder on the surface.The meat is in chewy texture and have a strong good smell.
Kippin Abalone→ Abalones are produced in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, and they are also called Kippin Abalones. They are in gold-ingot shaped, and their occipital edges are high and their bodies upright. There are visible stripes in their bellies, and their bodies are hunched up. Kippin Abalones which are rehydrated by means of soaking and boiling have a strong taste and chewy. They have a beautiful crystal color and their meat is flexible and smooth.
Ouma Abalone→ The origin of Ouma Abalone is Aomori Prefecture, Japan. Another name is "Uma Abalone". The body shape is flat and having a wide surface. The color is in golden yellow. They are usually dried by using a rope string. That's why the abalone body, around the side, is more smooth and easy to chew and digest. The taste is more smooth, tender and good smell.
Characteristics: Tastes sweet and salty and in mild nature.
Procedures: (1) Soak the abalones in water for about 2 days (depending on their size) until they become soft, and change the water at least once every day.
(2) Thoroughly brush the dust off the abalone body and from the gaps on its edge with a toothbrush, cut off the "stalk" in its mouth, remove its bowels, flush it clean with water, and then set aside for later use.
(3) Place it into hot water with ginger, spring onion, and wine and boil for about 5 minutes. If not cook immediately, it should be chilled (at -4°C to -18°C) for storage and should be cooked and consumed within 1 week.
(4) Place the rehydrated abalone and seasoning ingredients (consisting of 1 old chicken, 605g pork ribs, 5 scallops, and some rock sugar) into a clay pot with a bamboo mat at the bottom, and then add boiling water to cover the ingredients.
(5) Boil over high heat for about 2 hours, turn the heat down to a simmer for 5 to 6 hours, and let it cool down a bit. Then turn the heat up to a boil for another 2 hours, and cook it until the abalone becomes soft, thick, smooth, and tender.
(6) When the soup becomes thick, add boiling water accordingly (so that the water just cover the ingredients. Avoid adding too much boiling water, to prevent the soup from becoming too watery). Then remove the abalone, and add broth and oyster sauce to thicken the soup.
Note: The simmering time can be extended or cut down according to the size, thickness, and the hardness you prefer. Moreover, the abalone gravy must be thickened before serving, because this is the source of its flavor.
Making of the abalone gravy can be done by adding oyster sauce and the original gravy, or oyster sauce and broth, or Jinhua ham gravy and the original gravy.
Abalones should be chilled (at 0-8°C) for storage. If they are to be consumed over a long period of time, it is suggested that they are sealed and frozen (at -18°C or below).
The meat of abalones is tough and has a dense texture. Therefore, the only way to soften it to be perfectly chewable is to cook the abalone meat at the proper cooking temperatures.
The "soft yolk" of abalone refers to its viscosity and coagulation. The better the quality of an abalone, the stronger its flavor, and the chewier its meat. When slicing the abalone, the knife should cut along the abalone's fiber, so that its texture will be even tenderer. The abalone should be eaten from its outer surface toward the center. Doing so will provide long-lasting aftertaste.
The cooking technique requirement is very high for abalone and it is very time consuming. Customer may take our service of abalone cooking for our customers, which can ask us to cook abalone for customers. Customers may inquire our shop assistant for further information.

A No-Drop Policy refers to the widespread policy among prosecutors to proceed in Domestic Violence cases where the victims refuse to cooperate. In some cases, this policy applies only toward male defendants, which shows one of many areas of Domestic Violence law that is prejudicial toward men. In some cases where no crime was committed, a woman may call the police out of anger only to find later that she is unable to drop the frivolous charges.
These cases must be treated very seriously as the consequences are very harsh. In every case, we fully investigate all aspects of the case to protects our clients interests. Recently, our client, a former heavyweight boxer was accused by his fomer girlfried that he physically abused her over a long period of time. This man stood 6'8" in height and weighed 275lbs. The alleged victim was a very petite woman. The police detective and prosecution were quick to assume that the victim was being truthful and initiated criminal proceedings against our client. After a lengthy investigation, we discovered the the electronic images provided by the victim to the detective contained Photoshop metadata. Due to this evidence and other that was uncovered, we proceeded to trial. The Jury came back with a Not Guilty for the Domestic Violence and Vandelism counts!
Sadly men account for nearly a third of the victims nationally in domestic violence cases, and that does not take into account the hundreds, possibly thousands, of cases that involve falsely accused fathers and husbands. While the system is setup to protect women's rights, potentially to the detriment of men's civil rights, it is still possible to get justice. A lot depends on getting an attorney with the right experience who can ensure your rights are protected.
The attorneys at Gurovich, Berk & Associates have a combined total of 35 years dealing with domestic violence defense cases. When your freedom and reputation are on the line, we are the ones with the experience to make the law work for you.
We invite you to call us today at (213) 385-1555 to arrange an initial consultation.

~*~Classic Film 21 Questions~*~
By littletramplover,
October 11, 2003 in Games and Trivia
cmvgor
I can't figure out if this subject is too hard to bother with or if it is so easy as to be a bore. But I'm
going to be patient.
Clue # 9. In some of the versions of this story, the caught-in-between guy is a stranger who
wandered in, looked over the situation and dealt himself in. In other versions, he is a former member of one of the gangs, even a friend of the boss, who had a falling out. Titles?
Clue # 10. In some versions, the hero, badly wounded, gets carried away from danger by some friends, who have him concealed in a coffin. Titles?
FredCDobbs
Show me your badges!
LocationTampico. What a town.
Miller's Crossing (1990)
King of Kings (1927)
metz44
dangerous passage
Oh, goodie! Someone finally came out to play. Let's sum up:
Miller's Crossing is indeed another version of this story, done by the Coen Brothers.
Last Man Standing (1996) is another. Bruce Willis, Christopher Walken.
I've seen Scarface only in remake. I can see many plot points that are similar, but I don't
think it goes all the way. The henchman's friendship with the boss he betrays is the strongest
matching point.
King Of Kings?? Again, seen only in remake, and would like to see further arguments on that point.
dangerous passage?? Not familiar with it. Need more info.
Now I'm going for an eye exam that will include having some wierd things done to the pupils of my eyes. Will be back at this screen when I can focus again.
Clue # 11. As mentioned earlier, some of these versions involve a captive woman. Others involve a gang boss and the caught-in-between guy being sweet on the same girl. Titles?
CelluloidKid
_The Glass Key_
Okay, let's do a little catching up:
The Glass Key indeed runs the supblot about the caught-between guy and the gang leader being after the same girl -- I assume both versions under that title. I've never seen the 1935 version. Miller's Crossing also carries that theme.
Yojimbo and Fistful Of Dollars feature the point about being carried out of danger in a coffin.
The captive woman: Yojimbo and Fistful Of Dollars again, and also Last Man Standing.
Maninthemiddle a stranger who drifted in from other parts: Yojimbo, Fistful Of Dollars, Last Man Standing.
Maninthemiddle formerly in one of the gangs: The Glass Key, Miller's Crossing.
Incidentally, The Glass Key also features a capture-and-beating (William Bendix beating up
Alan Ladd), but his escape was unaided. He didn't have that many friends.
Clue 12
a.(one title only) A happy-looking mongrel trots by with a chopped-off human hand and wrist in his teeth.Title?
b.(one title only) Gang boss thinks he can marry into Society and become respectable. (No one else thinkes he can.) Title?
Clue # 13. "No, you got it wrong. I never said I'd help you against him. I said him and me are quits. Its not the same thing.' -- Title?
duplicate post
>King Of Kings?? Again, seen only in remake, and would like to see further arguments on that point.
The first story of this kind:
Clue # 1. Two violent gangs vie for control of a territory. *The Jewish kings and warriors of history, and then the Romans.*
Clue # 2. Police either weak, bought out or absent all together. *Local law enforcement had to give up their power to the Roman conquerors.*
Clue # 3. Hero caught between the two, must outsmart both sides to survive. *Jesus did this.*
Clue # 4. One side substantially defeated; a slaughter. *The Jewish converts, the Christians defeated by the Romans, later the Jews were driven out of the Holy Land by the Romans.*
Clue # 5. Hero caught by one side and brutally beaten; must escape and recover. *Scourged with whips, crucified, buried in a tomb to ?recover?.*
Clue # 6. In some, but not all of the examples, a captive woman is taken away from her family and held by a gang boss. *Mary Magdalene, held by the gang that wanted to stone her to death. Jesus saved her.*
Clue # 10. In some versions, the hero, badly wounded, gets carried away from danger by some friends, who have him concealed in a coffin. *Buried in a tomb. Arose and moved the stone away three days later.*
Yo, FredC:
Good points all, matching the clues to story events. TCM were so impressed, they printed it twice in my EMails.
All the facts you cited can make possible matches with the plot points submitted. These
points are not similar.
(1) That story takes place on a larger stage -- pretty much taking up all the world that mattered,
as far as the participants knew.
(2) For many, that story is History and a part of their faith. It is not just a rippin' good action yarn;
not a selection for pleasure viewing.
Nevertheless, let's play this out and see what other comparisons can emerge.
Clue # 14. "Why? Because I once knew a woman like you, and there was nobody there to help."...Title? (one title only)
Sorta sweeping up behind us here:
# 13.."...him and me are quits..." Miller's Crossing, Gabriel Byrne, referring to Albert Finney.
# 14, "...and there was nobody there too help." Fistful Of Dollars, Clint Eastwood to Marianne Koch.
Clue # 15. To gain his creds in the other gang, the hero is expected to kill a man. He goes into the woods with him, he fires a shot, he comes back without him. He has let the victim go.
Some days later, the bosses demand to see the body. He takes them to the site, bluffing, and is surprised and sickened to find a body there. The man he let go has provided one, and has mutilated it enough to fool the bosses. Title?
More sweeping up behind us:
The Clue 12 questions:
a. The happy dog with the chopped-off hand: Yojimbo
b. The boss who wants into Society: The Glass Key (1942), with Brian Donlevy planning to marry Veronica Lake.
From Clue 15. Miller's Crossing; Gabriel Byren walks John Turturro into the woods at the title location and claims to have killed him. When the site is visited again, Turturro has provided the mutilated body of Steve Buscemi to help with the ruse.
Clue # 16.. Endgame: Hero recovers from injuries, comes out of hiding and confronts the so-far victorius gang boss. Then he kills the boss in a duel that starts with two unloaded guns -- a revolver against a lever-action rifle. Which title?
ANOTHER POINT-OF-ORIGEN FOR THE HERO??
Leonard Maltin's thumnail review of The Glass Key includes the comment that "(Director)
Akira Kurosawa claims this was his inspiration for Yojimbo." So most of the films in this study are a deliberate retelling of the same basic story -- and the primary source is the works of Dashiell Hammett. And this brings up another variation of the hero's function.
Hammett's 1929 novel Red Harvest is about bringing down gang rule of a town. The hero of the piece is "The Continental Op" (i.e, Operative of the Continental Detective Agency). This unnamed narrator/hero does the same in the novel The Dane Curse and in numerous short stories. Another "man with no name", he serves as a sort of big brother to Sam Spade as a
pioneer hardboiled detective. And in Red Harvest, he is sent into the town of Personville with orders to bring an end to the gang warfare.
Note this: In the television premier of A Fistful Of Dollars, an extra scene was added before the credits. In a prison inside the US, a man in Eastwood's poncho and flat-brimmed hat, seen only from the rear, is taken into the Warden's office. He is briefed on the mission wanted from him in exchange for his freedom. He never speaks, just nods a couple of times. That scene ends; the opening credits roll, and the movie proper begins -- in Mexico. But it has been established now that the hero is an agent who has been sent to do a specific job.
Now note this: Regarding FredCDobbs' reference to King Of Kings, it is an article of faith for many that that protagonist was sent to do what He did and to accomplish what He accomplished. (I knew that reference would be usable again.)
Clue # 17: Denoument: Reconciled and friends again, the boss talks things over with his friend in a hospital room where the friend is still convalescing. The boss then exits, leaving the friend with the girl that he had formerly wanted to marry. Which Title?
I can't believe this subject baffled everybody, so I assume it interested nobody. I will go ahead and wrap it up, so the thread can be used by someone else in it's intended manner. Thee more questions. First, a little more sweeping-up:
From Clue # 16; The two-unloaded-guns duel involved Clint Eastwood and Gian Maria Volante in the showdown that ended A Fistful Of Dollars.
From Clue # 17, My memory had mis-served me about the ending of The Glass Key. There was a hospital scene that bore on the subject of the Boss' romance, but the actual ending had Brian Donlevy walking away and leaving Alan Ladd (fully recovered) and Veronica Lake to have each other, with his blessings. He just took his engagement ring back. (The movie aired again on TCM last night.)
And some more sweeping up: Dashiell Hammett's imdb site names him as the source of Miller's Crossing, giving the titles of Red Harvest and The Glass Key
Clue # 18. "Do you really think you can trade body blows with me?" Which title?
Deleated. Duplicate post.
Message was edited by: cmvgor
Clue # 19
Denoument: Reconciled after conflict Hero and Boss are walking away from a graveside funereal.
The girl they have both romanced (it was her brother's funereal) walks ahead of them, gets into their car and drives away, leaving them there. Which title?

Barista (lub kawiarz;  – barman) – osoba zawodowo zajmująca się wybieraniem, parzeniem oraz podawaniem kawy. W języku polskim istnieje również słowo kawiarka.

Kursy
Kursy dla baristów obejmują zwykle naukę takich umiejętności jak:
 znajomość gatunków kawy
 przyrządzanie kawy
 przygotowywanie artystycznych kaw (warstwowych itp.)
 prawidłowe dbanie o ekspres do kawy
 rozróżnianie rodzajów mleka
 obsługę klienta
Organizowane są Mistrzostwa Świata Baristów (World Barista Championship). W Polsce od 2002 roku odbywają się Mistrzostwa Polski Baristów (organizowane przez SCA Poland). Obecnie (2020) każdy z zawodników ma 15 minut na przygotowanie: 4 espresso, 4 napojów mlecznych na bazie espresso i 4 bezalkoholowych drinków na bazie espresso własnego przepisu.

Polska

W Polsce osobę zawodowo zajmującą się przyrządzaniem i podawaniem kawy określano jako kawiarz. W XIX w. w Polsce często należała do służby domowej zamożnego ziemiaństwa i podawała kawę zwykle na śniadanie i na podwieczorek. Współcześnie częściej używa się włoskiego słowa barista; kawiarzem obecnie częściej nazywana jest osoba, która lubi kawę i pije ją regularnie.

W kulturze
O pracy kawiarki pisał Adam Mickiewicz w II Księdze (Zamek) poematu Pan Tadeusz (1834):

An award-winning fantasy and science-fiction writer (although he loathed being called as such), Ellison is best remembered for writing dark and bleak science-fiction in an era when most writers were optimistic about the future. His best-known story is arguably I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. In this, a computer designed to optimise warfare wipes out all but five humans who are then made immortal and tortured for the computer's amusement. He also edited the influential anthology Dangerous Visions, a season of readings that present uneasy reflections of the future.
News of Ellison's death was made by Christine Valada, who tweeted that Ellison's wife, Susan, had asked her to announce that he died in his sleep.
Throughout his life, Ellison did little to challenge notions that he was a cankerous and provocative individual; in 1993, when he was named a regular commentator on the American Sci-Fi channel, he said: "I enjoy doing this because it permits me the opportunity to annoy hundreds of thousands of people all at once". He never shied away from speaking his mind and in many ways, he was a stereotypical creative genius in that he would break (explode) before he bent (compromised).
Ellison once got asked to pitch ideas for an early Star Trek movie. Idea after idea was shot down, as he was deemed to "not be thinking big enough". Finally, Ellison proposed something spectacularly original; the Enterprise would pop out of hyperspace and crash into a solid brick wall that seemingly surrounded the known universe. After blasting through it, the crew would then gaze at the face of God himself. In response to this idea (which frankly would drive most viewers into existential depression), one exec still claimed that he was not thinking big enough. Ellison gave him the finger and stormed out.
He was also no stranger to the courts; he sued James Cameron after the 1984 release of The Terminator, claiming that it copied a story that he'd published in 1957 called Soldier from Tomorrow. Cameron and Ellison reached a private settlement over the matter and Ellison's name was later added to new additions to the franchise. Crucially, Cameron has said that he was pressured into the deal as a then-struggling director. Make of that what you will.
His outbursts were legendary, but behind this fiery façade was a serious artist and a progressive thinker. Famously, Ellison marched with Dr King to Selma during the civil rights protests. He was also very active in the anti-Vietnam war campaign. We might think such attitudes to be commonplace nowadays, but back in the sixties it was risky and did end up costing the writer work from some studios, though he never relented.
Ellison was married five times, with at least two of those marriages lasting only weeks or months. Survivors include his fifth wife, Susan Ann Toth.

Myth And The God-Given Order
February 23, 2018 Featured Today No Comments
By JUDE DOUGHERTY
"The Myth of Scientific Objectivity" is the title William A. Wilson gave to an insightful article recently published in Modern Age (November 2017). Wilson examines how unacknowledged beliefs often influence investigation, especially in the so-called social sciences.
Scholars whose work focuses on colonization, racism, immigration, native rights, sexism, he believes, are especially vulnerable to preconceived notions. Peer review, grant making, university funding, and access to laboratory facilities are often determined subjectively. Scratch a scientist, says Wilson, and you will find a metaphysician, even if he doesn't realize that he is one.
Admittedly, it is difficult to write about science in the abstract. There are many sciences each employing a methodology of its own appropriate to its object of study. The Latin term scientia means knowledge. But not all knowledge can claim to be scientific. Enumeration is not science, nor is technology to be equated with science, though it is often thought of as such. Precise observation is not science, nor is the correlation of data that at first blush seem to be related. We speak of medical science when we mean the art of medicine. Engineering, too, is thought of as science but, like medicine, while it draws upon a wealth of scientifically derived information, it is not itself a science.
The systematic collection of data is often taken to be scientific, as is the ability to make predictions based on the accumulation of data with respect to past instances. The application of scientific information is essentially an art with its own rules of application, much like prudence is the application of wisdom. We may not think of theology as a science, but Aristotle made room for "divine science." Today we call it "natural theology" and distinguish it from sacred theology — that is, theology that has as its premises propositions derived from Revelation. There is a whole cadre of disciplines we categorize as social science, but most of the time when we talk about science we have in mind natural science.
The fundamental goal of science, as Aristotle taught, is to render intelligible that which is unintelligible in terms of itself. Science is not to be equated with description and prediction, but is directed rather to an understanding of nature and the processes of nature. Plato taught that all science is of the universal. We may examine the particular, but it is the universal in the particular that we seek.
A philosophy of science, as Wilson recognizes, is but a part of one's overarching metaphysical outlook, normally derived from considerations of nature, law, intelligibility, causality, and inference. Reflections on the nature of science are undoubtedly shaped by the social and intellectual milieu in which those philosophical reflections occur. Thus the history of philosophy is much more a part of philosophy than the history of science is a part of physics.
Modern philosophy, with roots in British empiricism, cannot be understood apart from its break with Plato and Aristotle. In limiting knowledge to sense experience it reduces science to description and prediction. But true science is not limited to description. Many an important discovery has been based on inference. The existence of bacteria was inferred long before the microscope displayed their reality. In physics and chemistry, molecular structures were similarly inferred before the electron microscope and particle accelerators confirmed their reality.
In 1933, the state of particle physics was such that it seemed necessary to posit the existence of a particle as yet undetected. The Italian physicist, Enrico Fermi, assuming its existence, built his theory of beta decay upon it and gave the undetected particle the name "neutrino," Italian for "little one." In spite of support from Niels Bohr, he was subjected to good-humored remarks about his poltergeist, since no one had empirically shown it to exist.
It remained a hypothetical entity until Clyde Cowan, with access to a particle accelerator at Hanford, Wash., performed an experiment that confirmed the neutrino's existence. He duplicated that experiment in 1956 at the Savannah Laboratory in Georgia. Today no one challenges the existence of Fermi's little one.
Albert Einstein's "theory of special and general relativity" may be an exception to normal procedures of discovery. His theory was not based on the observation of something that needed to be explained. It was advanced as a supposition, but one that he believed could be confirmed empirically. In comparing the measurement of energy emitted by silicon and sulfur atoms with MIT measurements of the mass of the same atoms, it occurred to Einstein that the mass of a system measures its energy.
Without any empirical evidence, he postulated the famous formula E equals mc2. Proof followed.
Yet science is open-ended. In 1925 when Edwin Hubble proved that the universe was expanding, Einstein had to revisit his account to include time as well as space, whereas he formerly assumed space to be a cosmological constant. With the quantum revolution in the 1920s, Einstein was confronted with the difficulty of reconciling the laws of quantum physics with the laws of classical physics upon which his theory of general relativity depended. Nearly a century later, the quantum world and the classical world operate on two incompatible sets of laws.
Wilson finds that Einstein in his Autobiographical Note, said, "A theory can be tested by experience, but there is no way from experience to the construction of a theory." Yet seemingly Einstein did just that when he postulated the notion that light is subject to the curvature of space/time and set about finding the mathematics with which to calculate the curvature. Sir Arthur Eddington provided the empirical evidence as a result of measurements he made during the total eclipse of the sun in Ecuador in 1917.
A famous example of reasoning from effect to cause is provided by the discovery of Lisa Meitner, then head of the department of particle physics at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Berlin, and her nephew Otto Frisch. The two, reflecting on the empirical work of Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, concluded that the German team had actually split the nucleus of the uranium atom which they had bombarded with neutrons. That heavy atomic nuclei could be split into lighter ones was unthinkable at the time. Yet here was a report that as a result of the irradiation of uranium with neutrons, barium and one unknown substance was produced. Meitner reasoned that if the uranium nucleus were split, the two particles would fly apart with tremendous energy and combined would be lighter by one fifth.
With some quick arithmetic, she multiplied the one fifth mass by the speed of light squared. It came out to be 200 million electron volts, not enough electricity to power a table lamp, but the implications were clear. Here was data compelling a theoretical explanation, one that could be (and within weeks) was tested.
Wilson rightly points to the cultural dimension of science, both in its creation and in its use. One thing to be kept in mind is that modern science is distinctively European and could have arisen only in an intellectual tradition, centuries in the making. In the early part of the twentieth century, it was with reason that science flourished in university centers such as Budapest, Vienna, Berlin, and Manchester where intellectual, cultural, and ethnic factors favored its advancement.
Michael Polanyi had it right when he wrote, "Science is a community that functions under common social norms….It requires a society in which there is a general freedom of speech and comment. Science is not an individual vocation but a system of deliberate apprenticeships, first systematized" he reminds his readers, "in the German university system."
The sources of Western culture date to Greek and Roman antiquity where we find articulated the basic principle of scientific inquiry. No scientist denies that there is a natural law governing events in nature. Water runs downhill; gold is malleable, copper conducts electricity. By contrast, the acceptance of telos in nature is rejected by philosophers wedded to Hume's empiricism, and, in the social sciences, by cultural progressives.
If there is no God-given order that leads to personal fulfillment, the moral compass is without a magnetic field.

What or who is Rx2? Over the years, so many people have confused our names, we started with the abbreviation of Rx2 for Ron and Ryan. Sometimes we say R to the second power (R2). Here is a little introduction to who stands behind each 'R'.
Ron hales from Iowa, and still considers himself a farm boy – preferring bare feet and green spaces whenever possible. After obtaining his second advanced degree, the MSW from the University of Iowa, he lived and worked in Modesto, CA. He met Ryan there, where they eventually set off on their current life path. By 2000, Ron had earned his TESOL (English as Foreign Language) Certification, while Ryan completed his Ed.D.
The intention was to explore European life for a year and then return to the Eastern seaboard of the US. The start date was originally September 14, 2001, however, the recovery time from the shock of the 9/11 horrors while visiting NJ family across from New York City, set it back by two weeks.
After a few months enjoying the people and cultures of England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Netherlands, and Germany, they decided winter was not the best time to play tourist. Having been to Budapest in 1998 and loving the city, they returned to Budapest to wait out the cold. A truly urban metropolis, they decided to settle there for 'awhile'.
Having grown up on a farm, then moving up to the 'big' town Modesto, life in this sprawling city has been eye opening and challenging, though enjoyable for the most part. Ron spent years doing volunteer work as a docent at the Fine Arts Museum, until it closed for renovations.
Ryan is originally from the New Jersey coast: Long Branch and Asbury Park. He has lived in the States of NJ, NY, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania, and California. He taught elementary school at St. Michael's in north Philadelphia before returning for and earning his Masters in Social Work from Temple University. Philadelphia is a city that is still near and dear to him.
In Modesto, California, he specialized in medical social work and started his own consulting business in addition to teaching at Modesto Junior College. He taught there for 15 years before attending classes at the University of San Francisco. He earned his Ed.D. in International and Multicultural Education with specializations in Second Language Acquisition and Teacher Training.
Being a travel addict, Ryan has advised many on travel and has been an avid poster to web forums for over a decade. Due to this, he was approached by Frommer's Travel Guides and was hired to write the full guide Frommer's Budapest & the Best of Hungary 7th and 8th edition. They also hired him to write the Hungary chapter for Frommer's Europe by Rail guide 3rd and 4th eds., the Hungary chapter for Frommer's Eastern Europe guide 2nd ed and the Hungary chapter for Frommer's Europe 11th and 12th eds. Ryan has also written for Gayot Publications and the Nile Project among other freelances pieces.
But why Ecuador? Much has been written about Ecuador and especially Cuenca in regard to ex-pat living. There was an intense curiousity that Ryan and Ron had to satisfy. By the third trip, they knew they needed to invest in a property in Cuenca. Currently, US citizens are allowed 90 days a year. This fits nicely into their travel plans as it gives them time in Budapest, where they ran BudaBaB, a Bed and Breakfast (closed November 2018) and also time to explore new countries and cities.
Ryan and Ron have traveled to 78 countries since 1993. They are counting on many more. To view Ryan's photos, you can visit his photo blog by clicking on the name Ryan and Ron Do the World. It has not been updated for a year.

A: as a global variable, write this code :
private static final String CREATE_TABLE_NAME = "CREATE TABLE " + Table_name + "(" + UID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," + COL1 + " TEXT," + COL2 + " TEXT," + COL3 + " TEXT" + ")";

private static final String CREATE_ TABLE_NAME_2 = "CREATE TABLE " + Table_name2 + "(" + UID + " TEXT PRIMARY KEY," + COL4 + " TEXT," + COL5 + " TEXT," + COL6 + " TEXT" + ")";

edit your onCreate like this
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase sqLiteDatabase) {
    sqLiteDatabase.execSQL(CREATE_TABLE_NAME);
}
