Mary-Kate Olsen og Ashley Fuller Olsen (født 13. juni 1986 i Sherman Oaks, Californien, USA) er amerikanske skuespillere, bedst kendt for deres medvirken som Michelle Tanner, i tv-serien Hænderne Fulde (Full House). Begge har medvirket i flere fjernsynsproduktioner, film, fjernsynsprogrammer, interviews og reklamer.

Biografi

Opvækst
Pigerne blev født i Sherman Oaks til David Olsen og Jeanette Fuller; familien er af dansk/norsk afstamning. Ashley blev født som den første af tvillingerne – Mary-Kate er blot to minutter yngre end sin søster.  De begyndte deres skuespiller-karriere i tv-serien Hænderne Fulde i 1987. De blev hyret til serien, da de kun var 6 måneder gamle og optagelserne begyndte, da de var 9 måneder gamle. Showet var meget populært i de sene 1980'ere og de tidlige 1990'ere. Pigerne deltes om rollen som Michelle Tanner for at kunne skiftes til at optage, så deres rettigheder som børneskuespillere blev overholdt. Det første år havde Ashley det med at begynde at græde foran kameraet, så det blev Mary-Kate, som var mest på skærmen i den første sæson af serien.

Da producerne af serien ikke ønskede, at seerne skulle vide, at det var tvillinger, der spillede Michelle, blev pigerne præsenteret som "Mary Kate Ashley Olsen" men fra slutningen af sæson 1 og til seriens slutning, blev de dog præsenteret individuelt. Under deres første skuespiller-år lavede Mary-Kate og Ashley adskillige direkte-til-video film såsom To Grandmother's House We Go (1992).

Karriere
Kort efter Hænderne Fulde endte, begyndte pigerne at reklamere for sig selv. De etablerede deres eget firma Dualstar i 1993, og deres varer er blevet solgt i mere end 3.000 butikker i USA og over 5.300 butikker verdenen over. Som 6-årige var tvillingerne verdens yngste producere nogensinde. Forbes''' har haft dem på "The Celebrity 100 list" siden 2002, og i 2007, satte Forbes dem på en 11. plads over de rigeste kvinder i underholdning, med en værdi af $100 millioner. Pigerne blev de yngste selv-gjorte-millionærer i Amerikas historie, inden de fyldte 10 år. På pigernes 17-års fødselsdag (13. juni 2003), annoncerede CNN ikke kun deres fødselsdag, men også tvillingernes totale finansielle værdi – $150.000.000 hver. Den samme nyhedskilde forudså at tvillingerne ville være milliardærer som 21-årige.

Mary-Kate og Ashley var populære personer på markedet for de helt unge teenagere i de sene 1990'ere og tidlige 2000. Deres navne blev en hjemmeindustri, med deres gode smag inden for tøj, bøger, dufte, magasiner, film og plakater. Der blev endda lavet Mary-Kate og Ashley-dukker fra Mattel fra 2000 til 2005.

De medvirkede i video-serien The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley og You're Invited To Mary-Kate and Ashley's..., det amerikanske ABC show Two of a Kind, og ABC Family's So Little Time. Desværre blev So Little Time ikke modtaget specielt godt hos kritikerne og de skuffede fans. Trods dette blev de nummer 3 på VH1-programmet 100 Greatest Child Stars.

Deres nyeste optræden var i romantiske komedie New York Minute, hvor også Eugene Levy medvirkede. Filmen skulle egentlig være brugt til at få pigerne ud af deres søde og pæne-image, og skaffe dem mere voksne og seriøse roller. Filmen indtjente $5.96 million under sin åbningsweekend. Det er lavest nogensinde tjent på en film, som havde premiere i 3.000 biografer.

Mary-Kates første optræden uden Ashley var i filmen Factory Girl, som udkom i december 2006. Mary-Kate havde egentlig medvirket i adskillige scener, men efter redigeringen af filmen, ses hun dog kun i baggrunden i en enkelt scene. Mary-Kate havde også en mindre gæsterolle i tv-serien Weeds, og hun er sat til at skulle medvirke i den selvstændinge film The Wackness i 2008, med Ben Kingsley, som hun faktisk kysser lidenskabeligt med.

Ashley har også optrådt alene; i filmen "The Informers" fra 2008, hvor Billy Bob Thornton også medvirker.

 Mode
Som søstrene er blevet ældre, har det været vist stor interesse for deres tøjdesigns, med New York Times som har udnævnt Mary-Kate til et stilikon for at have opfundet det såkaldte (og nu populære stil blandt kendisser og fans) "hjemløse" look. Stilen som ofte beskrives som lidt hippie-agtige slidte look, er også blevet populært i Storbritannien af Kate Moss og Sienna Miller. Looket består af enorme solbriller, støvler, løse trøjer og flagrende nederdele, alt dette sammen med store eller små størrelse armbånd, halskæder osv. Pigernes tøjsmag har dog skabt debat, idet Ashley er blevet kåret som "PETA's 2006 Worst Dressed list" for at bære pels.

Mary-Kate og Ashley har deres egen tøjlinie i Wal-Mart butikker for piger mellem 4 og 14 år, og en skønhedsserie kaldet: "Mary-Kate and Ashley: Real fashion for real girls". I 2004 lavede pigerne store overskrifter, da de tillod arbejderne, som syr deres tøj i Bangladesh at have barselsorlov. National Labor Committee, som hjalp pigerne med til tilladelsen, roste senere pigernes engagementet for arbejders rettigheder. Direktøren for denne organisation, Charles Kernaghan har udtalt: "Olsen-tvillingerne har gjort det rette. Nu er det op til Wal-Mart enten at støtte Mary-Kate og Ashelys engagement omkring kvinders rettigheder eller at simpelthen at lukke dem ned."

Pigerne var ansigter for den populære tøjkreation Badgley Mischka i 2006, i et forsøg på at gøre dem troværdige inde for modebranchen, efter deres samarbejde med Wal-Mart. De har også lanceret deres nye tøjmærke "The Row", som er opkaldt efter den berømte Savile Row af London. De har også lanceret en ny tøjkreation for The Row, kaldet "Elizabeth & James", efter nogle af tvillingernes søskende.

Mary-Kate og Ashley har været kritiseret af dyrerettighedsgruppen PETA for at have brugt pels i deres tøjlinier for The Row. PETAs ungdomsgruppe PETA2 har oprettet en hjemmeside i december 2007, hvor de omtaler tvillingerne som "Trollson Twins, Hairy-Kate og Trashley".

 Privat
Mary-Kate og Ashley har en ældre bror, Trent, en yngre søster, Elizabeth og to halvsøskende Taylor og Jake. Tvillingernes forældre blev skilt i 1995. Taylor og Jake er fra deres fars andet ægteskab med Martha Mackenzie-Olsen.

Mary-Kate og Ashley annocerede i 2004 at de ville fortsætte deres studier efter high school på New York University. De fleste børne- og teenageskuespillerne vælger at arbejde som skuespillere på fuld tid efter at de er gået ud af high school, men få såsom Brooke Shields, Jodie Foster, Julia Stiles og Natalie Portman valgte at fortsætte deres studier, ligesom tvillingerne. I 2005 flyttede Mary-Kate tilbage til Californien. Hun besluttede at bosætte sig ved vestkysten og arbejde mere individuelt med deres firma, Dualstar. Ashley, som stadig bor i New York, har stadig tæt kontakt med sin søster.

I 2004 checkede Mary-Kate ind på en afvænningsklinik i Utah i 6 uger, fordi hun led af spiseforstyrrelsen anorexia nervosa. Der var rygter, der sagde at hun også var afhængig af stoffer, og til dette udtalte Olsens publicist: "Mary-Kate er ikke afhængig af stoffer. Og har aldrig været det.". Mary-Kate tog omkring de 2-3 kilo på omgående, som hun blev indlagt og efterfølgende billeder har vist at hun helt sikkert har taget mere på. Trods dette blev der snart, igen, skrevet om en meget tynd Mary-Kate i januar 2007 i bladet "Star magazine". De hævede at hendes vægt var helt nede på 36 kg. Hun er blevet set iført meget løst og baggy-tøj, men Mary-Kates talsperson har udtalt: "Mary-Kate har ikke tabt vægt. Hun tager sig godt af sig selv.".

I 2005 endte Mary-Kates forhold til den græske shippingherre Stavros Niarchos III. Niarchos begyndte derefter at date hotelarvingen Paris Hilton. Mary-Kate har sagt, at bruddet var en af grundene til at flytte fra New York. "Jeg savner ham og jeg elsker ham", har Mary-Kate udtalt. "Det er hårdt og smertefuldt emne." Og da journalister spurgte, om der var en speciel til at hun flyttede fra New York, svarede hun tilbage: "Det tror jeg vi alle kan gætte os til.". Bruddet og Niarchos' kæresteri med Paris Hilton gjorde at der kom splid i mellem Hilton og Mary-Kate. "Paris og jeg har altid haft pæne ting at sige om hinanden", har Olsen sagt. "Nu tror jeg du kan regne ud at vi ikke snakker sammen mere.".

I 2006 vandt Ashley en $40 mio. retssag mod magasinet National Enquirer'', for at have lavet overskriften "Ashley Olsen Caught In Drug Scandal," med en historie med tilhørende billede af Ashley med sine øjne halvt-lukkede. Retssagen afgjorde at billedet tydeligvis var blevet taget, så man kunne lave en misrepræsentation af Ashley påvirket af stoffer. Ashley har fuldt og fast benægtet anklagerne og siger at hun aldrig har, ikke bruger eller sælger euforiserende stoffer. Retssagen gav $20 mio. for æresfornærmelse og $20 mio. for falsk opdigtelse af historie mod privat person.

I 2008 blev Mary-Kate involveret i skuespilleren Heath Ledgers død, da Ledgers massøse, som fandt ham, ringede til den 21-årige Olsen-tvilling 2 gange, før hun ringede efter 911. Der har også været spekulationer om at Mary-Kate har haft et forhold til Ledger lige op til hans død. Olsen har også udtalt igennem hendes publist at: "Heath var en ven. Hans død er et tragisk tab. Mine tanker er med hans familie.".

There are No "Alien Hindus"
April 1, 1990677 Leave a comment
In spite of Hinduism's persistent attempt to teach and demonstrate the realization that all existence is pervaded by One Supreme Divinity, and that "I" am, at the least, a part of that Oneness, even still, the selfishness of egotism makes men create divisions which expand their individual authority. Now a new concept of "alien Hindu" has evolved, a concept which can only serve to further divide men. Religious experience has nothing to do with race or geography. It is the essence of awareness, the unifying attitudes and values which go beyond experience.
Hinduism does not meant being Indian. Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and Jews all live in India. It has nothing to do with the color of one's skin, nor the origins of one's birth. Charvaka was as much a Hindu as was Ramanuja or Shankara. Every spectrum of thought and opinion has been accommodated with respect under the bannerhead of Hinduism. According to the Tantra Sara: "Who abhors violence and division in every form, who always practices harmonious behavior, who is a lover of Wisdom, who respects all teachers of Wisdom, who practices one-pointed mediation, such a one may be said to be Hindu."
Devi Mandir is located in a suburb of the cosmopolitan San Francisco Bay Area, where we serve Hindus from around the world. They come in all colors from any countries both East and West, speaking many languages, and yet they all have one thing in common: when they enter into the temple, they leave all thoughts of divisions and become simply children of God, children of the Divine Mother and the divine Father, members of the family of creation.
No child is alien to the Mother. Every child, fair or dark, wise or foolish, talented or unskilled, belongs equally to the Mother. Anyone who would support an ideology of division or discrimination because of color or race is actually acting with disregard to the basic principle of our religious creed.
Now many Hindus are battling racial discrimination in their adopted homes around the world. How foolish it would be for us to practice the same in reverse, by excluding our own allies, who even go farther than we might imagine in trying to make their lives conform to our religious heritage.
Hinduism is becoming a moving force around the world. Is it prudent to create divisions within the discrimination between the faith of those who were born into the religion and those who have accepted its principles because they understand it from a thorough study? By acknowledging the validity of our religious teachings and their practical applications in life, people are really working for world peace and enlightenment. Shall we discriminate against them because hey are practicing what we preach?
Rather, true Hindus will bow down with respect to the wise of every generation who demonstrate the principles of faith, devotion and surrender, the real fruits of religious inspiration. We will demonstrate the wealth of our heritage by joyously sharing with all who so desire, and we will overcome discrimination by our example of mutual respect and openness, as well as using the talents and skills which we individually possess.
In a name of dharma, manifesting the ideal of perfection, the solution we seek are universal. In the name of ahimsa, the battles we fight are within. In the name of God, let us realize the ultimate harmony and peace in the universe.
I send you all blessing of wisdom, peace an joy!

Cross ice passes the test
Hockey Eastern Ontario pilot project popular with both players and parents
Wendy Graves
The smiles tell the story.
Over the past three weeks 180 Novice-age kids have seen a significant jump in their ice times, as they've been part of a Cross Ice 4-on-4 pilot project spearheaded by Hockey Eastern Ontario Minor District 2 and hosted by the Cornwall Minor Hockey Association (CMHA).
In Cross Ice teams play the width of the ice instead of the length, allowing for more chances to pass, shoot and stick-handle and less time spent chasing the puck up and down the entire rink. More time playing – and less time waiting for the next shift – organizers say, will improve players' skill and increase their enjoyment of the game.
"We noticed that our development at the younger ages isn't what it used to be," says Marc Richer, the chair for HEO Minor District 2. "By having this project the kids are on the ice all the time. Nobody gets to sit down."
One sheet of ice is temporarily turned into three, with up to 24 kids on the ice at once – eight per game – during each 30-minute playing session. For kids who may be playing their first year of hockey and still getting used to simply skating, it's encouraging for them to constantly be in the middle of the action.
"In a regular hockey game they wouldn't get too far from the face-off circle, but in these games, because it's such a small area, they're always part of the play," says Pat McLeod, president of the CMHA. "Just yesterday I saw one kid who probably wouldn't touch the puck at all during the game able to stick-handle three or four times before he lost the puck. The smile on that kid's face shows that there is definitely merit to this."
The pre-season initiative includes all six MHAs in HEO District 2: Cornwall, as well as Akwesasne, Alexandria, Char-Lan, South Stormont and NGS.
A 50-minute session for full-ice hockey usually means about 34 minutes of game time. With between 12 and 15 players typically per team in Cornwall that works out to 10 to 15 minutes of actual playing time per skater.
"For me that isn't optimal for development," says McLeod. "We decided to have the kids play half-hour games where they're on the ice for the entire half hour. There are no line changes."
Twelve skaters are split into three teams of four. Cornwall 1, say, plays Char-Lan 1 on Sheet A for nine minutes, then moves to Sheet B to play Char-Lan 2 for nine minutes, then to Sheet C for its final "period" versus Char-Lan 3. Kids have gone from getting 10 minutes a game to 27 minutes. With the tournament-style scheduling set-up, kids are back on the ice a little later in the day for another 30-minute session.
HEO and CMHA were encouraged to initiate the cross-ice pilot project after seeing studies conducted by USA Hockey that showed the game's benefits. By creating a playing field more suitable for a player's size and skill – similar to playing cross-field games in soccer – players engaged in twice as many puck battles and doubled their number of pass attempts, puck touches and times they had to change direction on the ice. Each player also recorded six times as many shots on net and received five times as many passes.
Skaters aren't the only ones seeing an increase in action; the goalies are also learning more quickly the basics of better body positioning.
"Our goalies are actually exhausted at the end," says McLeod. "Instead of facing 15 shots they're facing 20 or 30 shots every nine minutes. It's just shot after shot after shot at them."
"We're hoping to be able to show success in the program and that some of our other districts will jump on board," says Denis Dumais, president of the HEO Minor Executive Council. "HEO believes this is the way of the future." Everybody touches the puck, everybody gets more time to develop skills early on and nobody gets left behind before they even have both feet comfortably on the ice.
Both HEO Minor and CMHA would like to bring the program back next season. McLeod says there are no thoughts of replacing full-ice hockey with cross-ice, but they would consider extending the four-on-four time into the opening weeks of the regular season.
"I think we're in agreement that it will never be a full-season thing," he says, "but with the development increase, the puck touches increase, the more time on the ice, how long do we want this to go into a season to make sure we're developing the players the best we can."

Q: Forcing Apache 2.4 to cache files with query string using mod_cache without expires I need to get mod_cache_disk to cache a site containing query strings. The issue is that it's a vendor product on IIS that we're trying to cache through mod_proxy and it does not contain expires headers. I realize this issue violates several RFCs and that's why apache does not do it by default.
Is there a way to force apache 2.4.x to cache with query string and no expires header?
This configuration will cache, but of course without honoring ? it caches the wrong content for most items.
CacheEnable disk https://
CacheEnable disk /
CacheRoot /var/cache/mod_proxy/
CacheDirLevels 4
CacheDirLength 5
CacheIgnoreCacheControl On
CacheIgnoreNoLastMod On
CacheIgnoreHeaders None
CacheMaxFileSize 100000000
CacheMinFileSize 1
CacheMaxExpire 1209600
CacheDefaultExpire 3600
CacheIgnoreQueryString On
CacheStoreNoStore On
CacheStorePrivate On

If I change CacheIgnoreQueryString to Off it will start emitting errors about the expires header.
AH00768: cache: /view.image?Id=1114 not cached. Reason: Query string present but no explicit expiration time,

A: According to this answer the only way to do this is to let Apache see the headers it wants (Expires, which you stated, and, apparently also Last-Modified).
The poster of that answer suggested writing a filter on the application side, but since yours is a vendor product, that may not be possible. Is there a chance to add it directly in IIS? Otherwise, you might have luck with a double proxy setup: use one proxy to add the headers (but not cache), and proxy that from Apache (taking the headers and caching).

A: that's my solution
<IfModule mod_cache.c>
    CacheIgnoreNoLastMod On
    CacheIgnoreHeaders Set-Cookie
    <IfModule mod_disk_cache.c>
        CacheRoot D:\\apache_cache
        CacheEnable disk /
        CacheDirLevels 1
        CacheDirLength 1
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>

and from the backend side add header
Cache-Control:s-maxage=1200

s-maxage - for proxy caches and CDNs

A: The most obvious solution would be to strip the query string off before it reaches mod_cache.
And the most obvious module for that would be mod_rewrite.
But that won't work, because mod_cache started using purposefully the unchanged version of the query-string in 2006.

This is two coats with Seche Vite top coat. The polish applied beautifully and the mix of this is stunning! There are tiny blue and silver sparkles along with teal hexes in medium and small, and then some purple flakies for extra little pop! Love it!
Jen posted this on her Etsy shop, which you can find here - Wonder Beauty Products.

You can stay up to date with Jen on her Facebook page, Blog, and Twitter too - @WonderJenProd. Her polishes range from $10-11. Also, Wonder Beauty Products will soon be sold at www.shop.llarowe.com!
Is it me or does that blue with the silver sparkles look like a starry fading sky before it's completely dark? It's just so beautiful!
This a picture using my bedroom lighting. I just liked how the glitter looked! ;-) I adjusted the color slightly to make it more accurate.
Close up! You can see the blue tiny hexes that shine in person but are so hard to capture on film!
Next we have Let's Play Footsie!
This is two coats and topped with Seche Vite. Oh is this one gorgeous!! It looks so deep with the jelly base and glitters floating through it!
There are gold, silver, and red hexagons in all sizes. There is even a light microshimmer through the pink jelly base!
Is it just me or do bottle shots make you drool?
This is such a perfect shade! Pink is always one of my favorites, but I don't wear it as often as I would like. This is one that I will be reaching for because it is so interesting and fun!
Here is another bedroom lighting picture that showed off the glitter really well! Again, I adjusted the color slightly. LOVE that big red hex on the ring finger!
Close up! Pretty cool right? I bet this would be fantastic layered too!

Capturing the innate qualities of the modern woman, #AmoFerragamo celebrates the romance Salvatore Ferragamo expressed through design, colour and craftsmanship toward the unique and empowered women who were both his inspiration and customer. The digital platform will link the past, present and future of the house, through a dialogue spanning generations, and speaking to a youthful new audience.
Through a multi-chapter and multi-sensory digital series, the Pre-Fall and Fall-Winter 2017 women's shoe collections are restyled, remixed and re-imagined by international it-girls. Nicole Warne, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Lee Sung Kyung and others, will each star in their own chapter of the series: "Shoe La La", "Shoe It", "Shoe Me", "Alphabet Yourself", "How To", and "Dance, Dance, Dance". Almost 90 years later, the spirit of the Ferragamo woman has laid ground to a legacy of talent that continues to inspire the brand today, each woman an admired individual in her own right: joyful, seductive, powerful, cool.
In his first collection for the company, Andrew puts at centre stage founder Salvatore Ferragamo's lifelong obsession with craftsmanship, innovation and fit. He considers how to make these values significant to a consumer and unique to a luxury brand today. High-tech meets high-craft in a series of sharply punctuated groups, where Andrew harnesses state-of-the-art technology and the savoir-faire of Italy's finest artisans. Paul Andrew states: "My concept for the collection was simply to highlight the fundamentals that made Salvatore such a profound and groundbreaking presence in his field and to express those values through designs that are relevant to a new generation of strong, discerning women".
Timeless Ferragamo icons and design gestures have been re-imagined and recast, like the original 'F' wedge translated with a modern hand in velvet and suede. From a rainbow of colours to signature black and gold, referencing the brand's roots in Hollywood, and reinterpreting the symbolic house of Gancio, new and modern silhouettes compliment the reborn "Flower Heel". Inspired by an original Ferragamo creation, Andrew's new legacy line design element will carry through the women's shoe collection.
Salvatore Ferragamo once again underlines the storied House's inimitable style and interpretation of modern luxury with the new women's shoe collection and the category's celebrated design director Paul Andrew.

Nintendo Labo is a win for girls and young creators

Tag: Nintendo Labo
Tag: Gamegrrls
In a world that's increasingly driven by the products of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, it's more important than ever to get children interested in the mechanics and nuances of those fields early. Young girls especially have an issue with having to play catch-up when it comes time for that all-important question: What do you want to be when you grow up?
There's nothing wrong with Barbies, princesses and dress-up, but rarely do those provide a gateway to toys and activities that introduce girls to STEM. However, there's a perfect new product coming from Nintendo that is great for getting the entire family into the kind of play that helps kids form the connections between the abstract and the concrete.
The Nintendo Labo series of products is a line coming in April 2018 that is compatible with the Nintendo Switch video game console. Odds are, even if you have very young children, they're interested in video games. Whether it be a mobile phone, a handheld like the 3DS, or a console like the Switch, there are games available that are perfect for keeping kids busy. The problem is, do these games teach anything? Most of the time, games meant for children are as sophisticated as tapping a finger on some slowly moving target on a screen.
One fun way to introduce STEM to kids with a video game console is getting them to question exactly what makes the action on screen happen. While they're vegging out playing Angry Birds, they probably don't really care, but Nintendo Labo takes the Switch and converts it into a multitude of objects that can translate your physical actions to the console.
The Nintendo Labo Variety Kit includes five different projects that parents can build with their kids. Each project is made of cardboard pieces you can put together like a puzzle to create a facsimile of a real item. This in itself is great for kids because they get to see pieces of something come together to form a whole.
When you build the fishing rod project with them, for example, they get to see simple cardboard come together to form a working controller. You can then slip the Switch's Joy-Cons in the right places and use the stand to hold the screen, and suddenly this pile of cardboard turned into a fun fishing simulator.
Nintendo Labo is perfect for girls because it's totally unisex. Whether your daughter (or niece/grandkid/etc.) is the girliest girl or a little tomboy, she doesn't have to worry about the pressure of "playing with girl/boy toys!" — not that she should have to anyway, of course. Nintendo is one of those brands that has never gotten hung up on being for anyone specifically. Everyone can love and play with Nintendo products without judgment regardless of who they are or how old they are.
Once your child gets interested in the way Nintendo Labo, combined with the Switch, transforms cardboard into a multitude of interactive objects, they'll likely become involved in more complex projects later. If you really sit down and take the time to help them form the connection between how physical action can influence digital information, they'll likely want to explore it further.
Nintendo Labo makes for a simple introduction to a type of product that stimulates interest in STEM and can teach real skills your child can use later in life. As they get older, you can bet that they'll be interested in things like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi microcomputers, which have a whole host of other great projects you can do with your kid.
It's important to give children the ability to develop interests that will help them succeed later in life. I wish when I was a little girl there had been something like the Nintendo Labo to do with my parents. Luckily, as the world gets more STEM-driven, there are more avenues like the Labo to help stimulate children's minds. Nintendo is genius for creating this line of products which is affordable enough to let even small kids play with. Hopefully, we'll see companies like Sony and Microsoft influenced by Labo and produce their own lines in the future.

(1)	With regard to his reply to question 839 on 17 April 2018, where he states that the details of the complainant in the matter is currently unknown to the Commission, why did the Electoral Commission of South Africa not file a complaint in relation to the Public Protector's report; (2)	whether he has found that the Commission complied with section 34 of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act, Act 12 of 2004; if not, how was this conclusion reached; if so, what are the relevant details?
1. A hitherto unknown complainant filed a complaint with the Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigations (DPCI). The Commission became aware that a complaint had been lodged whilst it was still considering the report of the Public Protector and when some of its officials were being interviewed as part of the DPCI investigation.
2. Having noted that a complaint had already been laid and that an investigation was already under way, the Commission regarded the reporting required under section 34 of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act (POCCA), Act 12 of 2004 as no longer needing its further consideration as the investigation in terms of section 22 of the POCCA Act had already commenced.


With 2017 drawing to a close, 12 months-give up lookbacks clutter media and the blogosphere like so many leaves on the ground. (Or piles of snow, relying on wherein you are.) Many have a tendency to focus on popular culture, product/film/song releases, or expert sports activities. However, given the focus of Oracle Dyn's Internet Intelligence team on monitoring and measuring the Internet, we're going to take a glance again at huge Internet "occasions" of the beyond yr, and how they have got impacted connectivity for Internet users around the arena.
In past due August, and thru September, an active Atlantic hurricane season spawned some of the unfavorable storms that wreaked havoc throughout the Caribbean, in addition to Florida and Texas in the United States. On the Caribbean islands that were the toughest hit via the storms, the resulting bodily harm changed into great, critically impacting final-mile Internet infrastructure across the complete u. S .. This turned into also the case in Florida and Texas, though on a far extra localized basis. On September 25, we looked at the influences of these hurricanes on Internet connectivity in the affected areas, noting that whilst some "center" Internet components remained to be had at some point of these storms way to hardened statistics middle infrastructure, backup energy generators, and comprehensive disaster planning, neighborhood infrastructure – the so-referred to as "remaining mile" – often didn't fare as properly.
Towards the give up of August, Hurricane Harvey pressured masses of community prefixes in Texas offline, while a few days later, Hurricane Irma brought about comparable problems in Florida and Puerto Rico. Sint Maarten changed into additionally hit extraordinarily difficult by Hurricane Irma, inflicting the whole unavailability of community prefixes related to the island country.
Nearly weeks later, Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico, inflicting problems for local Internet connectivity as it made landfall. The electricity outages attributable to the storm triggered remaining-mile connectivity to become worse, as we found through a close to-whole loss of recursive DNS queries coming from the island. Connectivity endured to war every week after Maria, and a recent Internet Intelligence weblog submits examined the state of Puerto Rico's post-hurricane Internet connectivity.
Nationwide Internet shutdowns for political reasons arguably had their genesis in a January 2011 Internet disruption that passed off in Egypt, which turned into accompanied in quick order via similar disruptions in Bahrain, Libya, and Syria. These outages occurred all through what became called the Arab Spring, highlighting the position that the Internet had come to play in political protest, and heralding the broader use of countrywide Internet shutdowns as a means of manipulating. A November weblog publishes noted that whilst these shutdowns occurred in the Middle East and Northern Africa, they have got shifted over the last numerous years to end up extra not unusual in sub-Saharan Africa.
Such outages persevered to be the case over this beyond a year. In mid-November, Equatorial Guinea's authorities ordered an entire Internet blackout beforehand of an election that was anticipated to maintain the celebration of longtime President Teodoro Obiang Nguema in electricity. This blackout turned into in addition to blocking of getting right of entry to to opposition Web websites, which started out in 2013. In September, the government in Togo blocked get entry to to cellular Internet connectivity amid anti-authorities protests. Following months of protests, Cameroon's authorities ordered an Internet blackout in English-speak me regions of us of a beginning in mid-January. This outage lasted till April, and Internet connectivity in these regions become again disrupted in early October, seemingly on the subject of mass protests. As of late November, this latest disruption changed into nevertheless in an area.
Students around the arena have long attempted to get an advantage on standardized checks, via anything manner necessary. Of overdue, take a look at-associated facts have been shared through the Internet, leading the governments of Syria and Iraq to sever Internet connectivity inside their respective nations if you want to save you cheating on such tests. The Iraqi authorities employed such techniques in 2015 and 2016, while the Syrian government also did so several instances in 2016.
In February 2017, the Iraqi government took down the user's Internet connectivity for multi-hour periods across multiple days. As we cited on the time, the length of the Internet outages covers the time period of the bodily distribution of the examination materials to testing facilities, which usually starts at five:00 am on examination day. The outages are supposed to prevent pictures of the questions from the assessments, in conjunction with the solutions, from being shared through social media. Similar outages have been additionally determined in Iraq for the duration of the primary half of-of June.
In late May, Syria started out a series of national Internet disruptions designed to combat cheating on assessments. The outages took place 9 times over the route of weeks. The Syrian Internet additionally regarded to go absolutely offline on July 12, however, we don't agree with that outage changed into related to any instructional trying out taking location in the united states.
Leaked Routes Disrupt Connectivity in Japan and the U.S.
Route leaks arise while a network company inadvertently broadcasts routes to prefixes other than those they're answerable for. Sometimes a company will announce routes found out from a peer that had been not purported to be shared any further. In different instances, the leaking issuer "masquerades" because of the starting place of the route, while greater significant leaks occur whilst an issuer proclaims a complete routing desk. Depending on the kind of leak and the way extensively those leaks are propagated throughout upstream vendors, the remaining impact is that site visitors to affected network prefixes is redirected, misplaced, or intercepted; the severity can vary from not noted to catastrophic. Blog posts we published in 2015 and 2014 looked at several examples of route leaks and their impacts, whilst any other 2015 publish looked at the effect of a routing leak on the availability of Google services.

Aliases: Dr. Meredith Stinson
Hair Color: Strawberry Blond
Birthplace: Albuquerque, New Mexico
Birthday: June 15th
Power Source: Science
Group Affiliation: The Freedom Five
Occupation: Particle Physicist
First Appearance: The Freedom Four Annual #1
Have you ever taken the time to wonder who is responsible for most of the innovations in our world? Who made it possible to get your car's gas mileage over 60 miles to the gallon by changing the way the world uses fuel? Who finally found the key that would lead to the cure for cancer? Whose unrelenting expertise resulted in the first mission to send humans to Mars? You may be surprised to find out that there is just one answer to these questions: Dr. Meredith Stinson.
You may have heard that name before. Most of her accomplishments have gone largely unheralded in the public sphere; however, Dr. Stinson has had a hand in research across the entire scientific spectrum. She's dabbled in everything from military technology to cheaper methods of ore processing, from learning patterns in rodents to the dietary habits of school children, and from more environmentally friendly waste management to developing a system for indefinite water renewal. That said, for all of the fields she's made an influence in, her greatest achievements have been in the field of particle physics.
Dr. Meredith Stinson was the driving force behind the creation of the Particle Yield Enhancing Wavelength at the Eaken-Rubendall Laboratory, a technology meant to revolutionize travel and transportation. Its purpose would be to use light to transport objects. In theory, it would transport objects at the speed of light without the normal dangers of high-speed travel. It was this device that would finally bring her into the public eye, but not for any reason which Dr. Stinson could have anticipated. While calibrating the device, a safety mechanism failed, sealing Dr. Stinson within the testing chamber as the machine began to boot up. Springing to action, her team struggled to free her from the chamber, but they were unable to open the doors before the device finished its startup sequence. Dr. Stinson was thrown to the floor as the chamber was flooded with tachyons, but to everyone's surprise, she emerged apparently unscathed.
Shaken but returning to work, she began to notice an unusual increase in her efficiency. Tasks that would have taken hours were done in half the time, and she found herself unconsciously picking up speed as she moved about the lab. Steadying herself, she carefully drew a blood sample from herself for further examination. To her surprise, she discovered that the cells within her body had been accelerated. Securing a wind tunnel within the facility for herself, she began to test the extent of her changes and found that she could move at superhuman speed.
News of her findings quickly spread, resulting in the government recruiting her for a new initiative. Dr. Stinson was offered nigh-unlimited research funds in exchange for her services. If you still have yet to figure out why her name sounds so familiar to you, then we'll finally cut to the chase: Dr. Meredith Stinson is most commonly known as Tachyon, the quickest woman on Earth, and the third member of the Freedom Five.


Soft story buildings get their names for having the first stories less rigid, when compared to the above stories. These buildings are vulnerable to earthquakes because of the large unreinforced opening on their ground floors, and their typical wood frame based construction.
The unreinforced openings usually accommodate large windows, doors, or parking spaces and expansive lobbies in retail and residential buildings. Usually, when the first floor folds during a quake, the upper floors crush everything below it. So without inadequate design considerations, these buildings won't stand a chance against the lateral forces generated by earthquakes.
The first step of any soft story seismic retrofitting is to analyze the structure well, and then determining the best way to strengthen the property. Contractors and structural engineers consider several factors while determining the best method for soft story retrofit of a building, and ensure that their work meets the structural standards required by the seismic retrofit Los Angeles ordinance.
To strengthen the existing walls, finishes like stucco or drywall should be replaced with sturdy plywood. Walls are anchored to the foundation as part of this process. Adding shear walls is very effective for providing lateral stability to the structure, but you will need to make sure that the extra wall would not interfere with the structure function. If they do, using steel frame will be the best option.
The cost for soft story retrofit works differs greatly, and mostly varies according to the type of building and the method used. Retrofitting large buildings could cost above $100,000, where a small structure won't need even half of that amount.
Clearly, it is evident that soft-story seismic retrofitting isn't cheap, but it is worth spending money for. A survey by Caltech found that there is a benefit to cost ratio of 7:1 for the money spent on shear walls and in case of steel frame retrofits with a 4:1 ratio for money spent.
Still, most building owners prefer not to take the matters into their hand because of the expense, so the city officials are adopting varies approaches to encourage owners or in some cases requires them to retrofit their buildings. Remember that retrofitting the building will make it earthquake safe and its sole purpose is to make the building stand during and after an earthquake.

Facial recognition payment for restaurants
When most people think of image recognition technology, they conjure images of futuristic movies not restaurants. However, emerging technology is becoming more advanced every day and being adapted for a variety of industries. It was only a matter of time before facial recognition software made it to the dinner table.
It's hard to keep up with tech trends, and even harder to constantly reinvest. Most restaurants only recently adopted wireless transaction options, so why should you consider forking out even more money to implement facial recognition payments for your business?
A rising trend
Historically, facial recognition had little to do with financial services. The software was predominantly used to catch criminals that match images in a law enforcement database or most recently as an added measure of airport security.
In a few countries, like China, facial recognition has become a common transaction method. The technology is still slow to take effect in the U.S. retail industry but projected to explode in the next five years. According to Business Wire, the U.S. facial recognition market is expected to grow to $10.15 billion by 2025.
As it turns out, the first business to allow face-based recognition for payment in the U.S., is in fact, a restaurant. In February of 2018 CaliBurger, an international fast casual burger chain based in California, added the AI-enabled technology to their touch screen kiosks. This followed a well-received pilot of face-based recognition technology that allowed customers to log in to loyalty accounts.
In general application, a facial recognition system uses artificial intelligence to analyze a person's face against a database of photos. In the case of retail transactions, the customer's image would sync to their credit provider or bank, allowing them to use their face as a form of payment at participating locations.
Can a customer's doppelgänger come in to eat on their dime? What about holding up a photo to trick AI? While it might seem like a payment method out of a sci-fi movie, most facial recognition technology is surprisingly precise.
Imaging software has rapidly aged into intelligence, surpassing common fears and technical hiccups with innovation. Many companies incorporate a "liveness test" that requires the user to turn their head in real time to avoid impersonation or fraud.
While some companies boast near-perfect accuracy, impersonation risk and security is largely dependent on the software used.
Profit versus privacy
For facial recognition payments to work, restaurant patrons would need to have their picture taken at a specific location or be included in a business database. It's ill-advised to make this the only option of payment for your business, but CaliBurger is already reporting a rise in customer loyalty and feedback since launching the new technology in 2018.
While increased financial security and customer loyalty seem like no-brainers, many fear that imaging recognition could lead to serious ethical dilemmas and exploitation of individual privacies. With experts and financial analysts predicting rapid adoption and profit in the coming years, the decision to implement the technology may come down to ethics.
Not just a payment method, a loyalty tool, too.
CaliBurger's first foray into using facial recognition technology allowed loyalty program customers to log in to a self-service ordering kiosk. Once logged in, the guest can retrieve past orders, including a record of how their burger was dressed, speeding up the ordering process and getting them through the line more quickly. The self-order kiosks at a BurgerFi in Kissimmee, Florida, give guests the option to store their facial geometry data and use that to store past orders. This is precisely the kind of enhanced customer experience and personalized service that engenders restaurant customer loyalty.
"Facial recognition is part of our strategy to enable the restaurant and retail industries to provide the same kinds of benefits and conveniences in the built world that customers experience in the digital world."
John Miller, Chairman and CEO of Cali Group »

The impact of coronavirus is being felt across the global economy

It's been a month since China announced the death of the first victim of the new coronavirus. The outbreak has since infected more than 44,000 people and spread far beyond China.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell told lawmakers on Capitol Hill this week that he'll be watching for the virus's impact on the U.S. economy.
Santosh Rao, head of research at Manhattan Venture Partners, said coronavirus has the potential to disrupt the electronics supply chain.

"It's everything: consoles, laptops, phones," he said.
Already, we've seen delays in Apple's iPhone production. TV manufacturers are also expected to slow down their assembly lines.
Some video game releases have been set back due to the outbreak. Analyst Ken Rumph at Jefferies pointed out that China supplies a lot of video game development.
"Intangible things, like doing the artwork, doing the programming that's required, also have a supply chain," he said.
Tourism is taking hit as fewer Chinese citizens travel abroad. And some watchmakers have pulled out of a trade show in Basel, Switzerland, because of concerns about the virus. Big automakers like GM and Toyota have yet to restart operations in China.
According to Dale Rogers, a professor of supply chain management at Arizona State University, China has grown more vital to global manufacturing in recent years.
"You know, it's many times more important to global supply chains than it was at the beginning of the millennium," he said.
It's still hard to quantify exactly how much the virus has cost the American economy. Professor Menzie Chinn at the University of Wisconsin said until more recent data are published that "we'll be relying on anecdotal evidence, informal surveys, and alternative indicators."
A report out this week from shipping research company Sea Intelligence found that delays related to the coronavirus cost shipping companies $350 million a week in lost volume.

COVID-19 Economy FAQs
With a slow vaccine rollout so far, how has the government changed its approach?
On Tuesday, Jan. 12, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced changes to how the federal government is distributing vaccine doses. The CDC has expanded coronavirus vaccine eligibility to everyone 65 and older, along with people with conditions that might raise their risks of complications from COVID-19. The new approach also looks to reward those states that are the most efficient by giving them more doses, but critics say that won't address underlying problems some states are having with vaccine rollout.
What kind of help can small businesses get right now?
A new round of Paycheck Protection Program loans recently became available for pandemic-ravaged businesses. These loans don't have to be paid back if rules are met. Right now, loans are open for first-time applicants. And the application has to go through community banking organizations — no big banks, for now, at least. This rollout is designed to help business owners who couldn't get a PPP loan before.
What does the hiring situation in the U.S. look like as we enter the new year?
New data on job openings and postings provide a glimpse of what to expect in the job market in the coming weeks and months. This time of year typically sees a spike in hiring and job-search activity, says Jill Chapman with Insperity, a recruiting services firm. But that kind of optimistic planning for the future isn't really the vibe these days. Job postings have been lagging on the job search site Indeed. Listings were down about 11% in December compared to a year earlier.

Some members direct choirs as well, and others also work with music groups in their churches. Some just like listening to organ music, or exploring the mechanical side of the instrument.
We organise events which include organ crawls, social activities, recitals, educational activites and public lectures. Come and join us and enjoy both the beauty and the power of the organ!
Not restricted to just the Peterborough Diocese, the Association has members in and around Peterborough across northern Cambridgeshire, in Northamptonshire, Rutland and the southern part of Lincolnshire. Members meet occasionally for specific events, to exchange information and occasonal recitals.
We maintain close links with other organists' associations across the country and with national organisations dedicated to the support of organists in their work.
Organists and those interested in organs not currently in membership are welcome to join or make contact to find out more about the Association.

Fellow Nigerians, it is now four weeks that I have been educating and entertaining you about my 30 eventful years as a journalist and businessman in Lagos. My supersonic and meteoric journey was seemingly cut short by the three years I was forced to spend in exile, during the draconian government of General Sani Abacha. I ended my epistle to you last week at the point I arrived Accra, Ghana, in the evening of July 25, 1995. Let me say it loud and clear, I fell instantly in love with Ghana. By the time I woke up the following morning, I had to do two things; find my way around Accra to locate and meet the few friends I had on ground and link up with my amazing friends in England who were already meeting, planning and raising funds for me to fly out of Accra to London. I remain eternally indebted to so many people, most of them much younger. They stood by me like the Rock of Gibraltar.
First, I headed to the Osu area of Accra where the Abiolas had a company headed by Dele Gbajumo, who took care of me and treated me like a king. Then, I meandered my way to find an old Ghanaian friend, Fritz Baffour who had lived in Nigeria, but returned home to become a famous man. He gave me an Akwaaba reception immediately we reunited, showed me round important places and introduced me to distinguished personalities. My love for President Jerry John Rawlings started from my short sojourn in Ghana. I was impressed by his work. Little did I know we'll be good friends in the near future. I enjoyed those three days spent in Ghana but was truly troubled by the country I had left behind in the hands of some adventurous, blood-sucking soldiers. On the evening of July 28, 1995, I boarded a British Airways flight from Accra to London Gatwick. At the Kotoka International Airport, Accra, I ran into the Editor-in-Chief of Tell magazine, Nosa Igiebor. We greeted warmly, as always. I soon discovered he was also heading into exile. Our flight took off and landed safely in London.
My friends were waiting anxiously for my arrival in London. I must say, I'm richly blessed by kind-hearted friends. They did everything humanly possible to ensure I did not feel too miserable. I stayed for several months in the home of Olugbenga and Ayo Olunloyo. Olugbenga is the son of the great mathematician and former Governor of Oyo State, Dr Victor Omololu Olunloyo. I felt completely at home. Our friends came every evening from work to arrange barbecue and all sorts for me. The next headache was how to get my wife and first son, who was under one year old, out of Nigeria. I urged my wife to take the NADECO route but the stubborn Christian insisted God would clear the way for them through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The risk was huge, but she went ahead. Meanwhile, I waited anxiously and with great trepidation on the other side and could not sleep all night, like a victim of insomnia. I left early for Gatwick Airport and waited with bated breath for my darling wife and adorable son. I saw many known and unknown Nigerians come into the Arrivals Hall having passed through Immigration and Customs, but my wife and son took almost forever in showing up. I had turned into jelly, shaking and sweating simultaneously. Telephones were not that common in those days so I wasn't even sure they were allowed to board the flight. I was about giving up and resigning to fate when they emerged from the belly of the airport. My innocent son was obviously enjoying himself on top of a trolley while his mum pushed him along with their luggage. The sight of them was such a great relief!
We left the airport thanking God, while my wife regaled me with the drama that unfolded as they headed to the boarding gate in Lagos. They were stopped by security agents who stared at their passports for eternity. One of them asked if she was Dele Momodu's wife and running away too, and she froze on the spot wondering if she should deny me like Peter denied Jesus but she kept mute. Then the unbelievable happened and the guys waved them off as if mesmerised by the Holy Spirit. My wife would not let me rest about the efficacy of prayers and I've come to accept her as our prayer warrior in the family. I believe God will call us soon and our dream church will come one day. Anyway, that was how we settled in London.
I soon joined other dissidents in London that included, Bola Tinubu, Alani Akinrinade, Dan Suleman, John Oyegun, Bolaji Akinyemi, Wale Osun, Peter Obadan, Tokunbo Afikuyomi, and others. Life was tough and brutish. Many of us lived from hand to mouth and those who had something shared with others. We lived more like communists. I will never forget the interventions of Bola Tinubu in particular. I was a regular in his flat with access to his kitchen where I cooked and ate whatever was available, plus I gladly consumed his varied assortment of drinks. My friend, Orji Kalu, came around from time to time and made sure we met and had dinner either at his home in North Finchley or somewhere in the West End. He was kind and never abandoned me. Kalu and Tinubu even attended the christening of our second son in July 1996.
We spent months hoping against hope that some miracle would happen and Abacha would relax his grip on power. But it remained a pipe dream and mirage. Nothing of the sort happened. The winner of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election, Moshood Abiola, remained in detention and solitary confinement. The worst soon happened, in many ways. Abiola's beautiful and dutiful wife, Kudirat was murdered in cold blood on the streets of Lagos. The Ogoni Rights Movement leader, Ken Saro-Wiwa was sentenced to death and ignominiously hanged. Papa Alfred Rewane was shot dead in his bedroom. It was bad news galore. Almost on daily basis, terrible and tragic news came from home. We met fellow rebels occasionally at the Quadrangle, somewhere off Edgware Road and deliberated on strategies that can free Nigeria from servitude and oppression. We did what we could. Meanwhile, my main offence, which led to me fleeing Nigeria, was that I was falsely accused of being one of the brains behind Radio Freedom, which later became Radio Kudirat. Though I had some information about its operations, I was not one of the operatives whilst I was in Nigeria. The main man then was Kayode Fayemi. I knew two other friends who were heavily involved in the clandestine project, Richie Dayo Johnson and George Noah. I would later join them. I passionately ran the Yoruba programmes and got a lady to do some Hausa versions intermittently.
The biggest challenge was how to liberate the uncrowned President-in-waiting, Moshood Abiola. We toyed with all manner of plots including meeting with Germans, by Bola Tinubu and I. The Germans promised they could carry out some Entebbe-like operation similar to the one by the Israelis in the days of Idi Amin Dada of Uganda. I must doff my hat to the commitment and dare-devilry of Bola Tinubu once he embarks on any assignment. I witnessed this first hand and hope to elaborate more in my autobiography later. He put in so much and his home in New Cavendish was a Mecca of sorts for most dissidents.
On a personal note, I had to fight a different kind of battle. How to look after my family. I must specially thank the British Government for the incredible support we were given. I'm not sure of a better and greater country when it comes to looking after refugees like us. I applied for asylum and got powerful supportive letters from Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka and Kayode Fayemi who both confirmed my status in the political struggle to the Home Office in Croydon. Mercifully, I was granted full asylum by the British Government and was given refugee passports for myself and my family. Also, my cousin, Olusegun Fatoye miraculously spoke to me about finding something to do while domiciled in London. His idea and suggestion was that I should set up a magazine in London since that was my area of core competence back home in Nigeria. Not a problem. Trouble was where and how to raise funds. Our business plan showed we needed about £150,000 but if you sold our family, from first generation to the last, it was just impossible to raise that amount. And no bank was going to risk a loan on a brand new media company. My Uncle Chief Fatoye was God-sent as he scraped his account to drop the first £10,000 that launched Ovation. A few family members and friends scotched their accounts to bring out whatever they could put in. These were true believers in the dream that we could produce and deliver a world class publication.
We got a posh office in Docklands and this is another interesting story that must be told fully in the near future. The very day we moved in and we were having celebratory drinks, a bomb exploded next door. We all jumped up and started sprinting like Ben Johnson. "Abacha, Abacha, Abacha…" I screamed. I thought Abacha was on our trail to London. Unknown to us the bomb had been detonated by the Irish Republican Army (IRA). That was our baptism of fire. We were lucky that our building at Beaufort Court was bomb-proof and we were able to return the following week. The journey of how we assembled our team, did our best production, managed to print the maiden issue, the endless battle with bailiffs over our piling debts, and our eventual break and triumph are best reserved for my book. We give God all the glory for sustaining us.
Here is a special tribute to one of Africa's most gifted musicians, Sir Shina Peters, composer, multi-instrumentalist, singer and Afro-Juju creator. The story of our journey together is long and exciting. Our first encounter was a case of love at first time. He was launching his ACE album at the Railway Club in Ebute-Meta and I was asked to represent Concord newspaper, by our Managing Director, Doyinsola Abiola. It was a big carnival and that was where I met the footballer, John Fashanu, for the first time. Shina and I established a tight bond from then on. I wrote copiously about him in Weekend Concord which was the highest circulating paper at the time. I wrote the story that gave him the title SHINAMANIA for his second album. Shina was the craze in town.
He was the rave of the moment and we celebrated him endlessly. At a point, he was signed on by SONY Music where Keji Okunowo was Managing Director. I was appointed his public relations consultant. His biggest fan was Chief, Moshood Abiola, my boss and mentor. During my wedding in December 1992, Shina Peters was my Bestman. I actually had two Bestmen – Kunle Bakare was the other. We shared many fond memories at home and abroad. Shina brought together a new group of what we called yuppies in town, Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola, Mohammed Gobir, Lanre Tejuoso, Segun Awolowo, Ayo Subair, Wale Otubanjo, Hosa Okunbo, Rotimi George-Taylor, and many others. It was unlimited fun at the popular hangout in Stadium Hotel Surulere, Lagos.
Shina exploded like an atomic bomb on the Nigerian music scene. I'm not sure anyone else has been able to cause such volcanic eruption. It a great tribute to the uniqueness of his music that he has succeeded in maintaining his stardom and he is still one of Nigeria's iconic entertainers.
On May 30, 2018, my dear friend and Brother will be celebrated by the high society of Lagos, in a grand reception at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island. Let me hasten to warn potential gate-crashers, of which there will be many, that the bash is strictly by invitation.

Q: How to add input field of a form with same class name I have a JavaScript problem which i still can find a way out with.
I have a table which is been formed dynamically and it contains form fields.
code:
      var table = document.getElementById("table");
      var row = table.insertRow(-1);
      var cell1 = row.insertCell(-1);
      var cell2 = row.insertCell(-1);
      var cell3 = row.insertCell(-1);
      var cell4 = row.insertCell(-1);
      var cell5 = row.insertCell(-1);
      cell1.innerHTML = count; //this is index, set above as var count = 1;

      cell2.innerHTML = name; //this is a variale dynamically generated
      cell3.innerHTML = '<input type="text" name="quantity[]" onchange="addAll()" class="quantity" id="quantity" value="1" data-price="'+price+'" />'
      cell4.innerHTML = price;
      cell5.innerHTML = 'Delete';

he above will come up with something like:
   <input type="text" name="quantity[]" onchange="addAll()" class="quantity" value="1" data-price="4" />
   <input type="text" name="quantity[]" onchange="addAll()" class="quantity" value="34" data-price="5" />
   <input type="text" name="quantity[]" onchange="addAll()" class="quantity" value="12" data-price="8" />

I then have another input field with lable TOTAL
  <input name="total" id="total" />

I want to always loop through the input form above after every onchange() and do a calculation.
 var total = class with quantity[0] * data-price + class with quantity[1] * data-price //and so on for all the input (multiply the input value by the data-price attribute and add all together).

so i can put it in the function:
 function addAll() {
    //code that returns the total
    document.GetElementById('total').value = total;
 }

Im looking at jQuery $("className").each(function () but really confuse

A: If you want to visit each of a class, the following jquery would do it:
var total=0;
$(".quantity").each(function() {
    total=total+$(this).val();
});

The "." means "select the class", like with css. You can't do the same with id's because id's are meant to be unique, so jquery will return only the first element.

A: You can use below code to loop through your fields:
        $('. quantity'). each(function(){
                //your calculation
         }) ;

A: function addAll()
{
   var total = 0;
    $('.quantity).each(function()
    {
         if($(this).attr('name')!='Total')
         {
             var val = $(this).attr('value')
             var dat = $(this).attr('data-price')
             total = total + (val*dat)
         }
     });
     document.GetElementById('total').value = total
 }

A: I believe this will do what you're asking for...
Although it is not attached to .on('change') event. You may want to change that part a bit yourself. Good luck learning jQuery.
jQuery .each() is used!
var value = 0, price = 0;

$('.quantity').each(function () {
    var val = value += Number($(this).val()),
        data = price += $(this).data('price'),
        total = val * data;

    $('#total').val(total);
});

JSFiddle Example - You may want to take a look...

A: I think this is perfect code for your requirement
$('.quantity').change(function(){
     var total = 0;
     $('.quantity').each(function(index,element){
    total += ( $(element).val())*($(element).prop('data-price'));

     });

     $('#total').val(total);
  });


Cherry Blossom Macaron Cake I made for the event.
Here is the second set of goodies I made for Bestie's Surprise Wedding which I first posted about two weeks ago in the Cherry Blossom Macaron Cake Tutorial. I made 60 of these bridal bears to be given out as guest favours. They were placed on long skewers and wrapped individually inside clear plastic bags with the intention that it would be easy for guests to take them home. However, they were all consumed before the end of the event and of course, I was delighted.
Below, I've included the photos of how they looked like wrapped on the sweet table. I hope you can make good use of the recipe and template as well.
My bridal bears on display in a vase.
This is what petals of a dozen roses look like.
And this is what it was used for.
Before you start decorating your bears, you'll need to make the bear macaron shells first. Here's the link: Bear Macaron Recipe & Tutorial. After baking, wait until the shells are completely cool and dry before attempting to decorate them.
1. Whisk together meringue powder and icing sugar.
4. Spritz the mixture with water until it becomes firm and malleable but still able to hold its shape after a few seconds. The goal is to have an icing firm enough to retain its shape after piping but still soft enough to be pushed out of a piping tip. It's a very fine line so keep testing it here and there. Add more water if the mixture is still too hard. If it becomes too runny, add more sugar.
5. On parchment paper, use a Wilton Star #16 piping tip to pipe out the roses in a circular fashion (see video).
6. Wait for roses to dry (minimum of 6-8 hours) before using. They are very delicate when wet.
Use this tutorial to make the bear macaron shells: Bear Macaron Recipe & Tutorial.
You can buy it at craft stores like Michaels or gourmet food/baking shops. Alternatively, it is super easy to pick one up at any Mediterranean grocery store and it's so much cheaper there! I was also able to find it in the ethnic aisle of a big grocery chain. (I live in Vancouver so it's easier since it's so multi-cultural here.) Lastly, Amazon is a great place to look if you don't have those type of stores in your town.

Hey, Fashionis-Tays!! Yes, I wear shorts with Moto-Jackets and boots without socks. So what? Its the changing seasons, I can do whatever I want!! I was honestly really loving this look today. Yellow is deff going to be big this fall and it works so perfectly as a leather jacket paired with these cutoff shorts and lace cami top. I am all for feminine, vintage looks, if you can't tell yet. A unique piece with a fun color can really make a bland, basic outfit into something fun and different. Be bold and wear what you love.
To Top it all off, I actually properly did my make-up today and it came out so good; if I must say so myself. To go with the yellow jacket, I did a red/yellow sunset eye. I don't usually wear lip color, but today I wanted to try a metallic lipgloss that "Colourpop" sent me. (I ended up falling in love with it too!) To top it all off, I tried something SO new and added some faux freckles. I thought they looked funky at first, but they grew on me pretty quickly!
Over all, Todays look was deff a Typical Tayla Fit!
Hope you guys love it as much as I did!!


While this site is not organized for commercial purposes, I did want to let those musically productive readers know that Izotope's fantastic virtual sample based synthesizer Iris 2 is on sale for just $29. You can also get it combined with Izotope's Trash 2 distortion plug in for $49. I used the Iris 2 extensively on the song Zebulon Pike from our forthcoming record, as well as a background pad bed on the title track for our last record, El Pulpo. I really like how you can get melodic synth sounds from it that also combine granular textures from non-melodic samples of things like sounds made from kitchen appliances. It kind of reminds me of the surfaces of the classic Jackson Pollock "Drip" paintings. Their gritty topography gets lost in a 2 dimensional photographic reproductions, (No matter how cool the context – see below.) You can combine four samples so the sounds you get aren't too referential to "real" things they come from – just like Pollock's abstractions. Also the frequency range sounds really 3 dimensional and solid without getting muddy or distorted in the low end. Dig it.
