A Royal Scandal, also known as Czarina, is a 1945 American comedy-drama film directed by Otto Preminger, produced by Ernst Lubitsch. about the lovelife of Russian empress Catherine the Great. It stars Tallulah Bankhead, Charles Coburn, Anne Baxter and William Eythe. The film was based on the play Die Zarin (The Czarina) by Lajos Bíró and Melchior Lengyel.

Plot
The palace of the demanding and iron-fisted Russian czarina Catherine the Great is full of intrigue. Devoted chancellor Nicolai Ilyitch conducts delicate negotiations for a treaty with France while surreptitiously stealing from the imperial treasuries. General Michael Ronsky schemes to overthrow Catherine in a military coup and install his oafish nephew Boris as a figurehead. Countess Anna Jaschikoff is the czarina's confidante and lady-in-waiting, helping her navigate the social aspects of court life. When Catherine discards her latest lover, Variatinsky, commander of the palace guard, he responds by attempting to shoot himself, but he misses. Determined to conclude the Russian-French treaty by receiving the Marquis de Fleury, the French ambassador, Chancellor Nicolai orders that no only he and the ambassador may spend any time with the czarina. However, determined young lieutenant Alexei Chernoff, coincidentally Jaschikoff's fiancé, insists on an audience with Catherine, riding for three days and storming past palace security to speak to her.

Chernoff comes bearing news of Ronsky's nascent rebellion. It comes as no surprise to the czarina or to Chancellor Nicolai, who has already made an "arrangement" with Ronsky, but Catherine likes the patriotic and handsome lieutenant, promoting him to captain and asking him to prepare policy recommendations on foreign and domestic issues. Later, she seduces him, ensuring his promotion to general and installing him as the new commander of the palace guard. Countess Jaschikoff is infuriated and takes her anger out on Catherine, who responds by banishing her from court. Chancellor Nicolai, who has become outraged at Chernoff's reformist proposals, attempts to resign, but is compelled to stay on by Catherine, who ensures him that she is not taking Chernoff seriously as an advisor.

Elsewhere, Chernoff is being courted by Ronsky and the rebellious generals; they wish to use his position to ensure that the palace guard does not raise any physical resistance to their forces. To drive a wedge between Chernoff and Catherine, Ronsky introduces Chernoff to Variatinsky, who informs Chernoff in private of his intimate knowledge of Catherine. Chernoff attacks Variatinsky and begs Catherine to say that Variatinsky was lying, but the czarina candidly confirms his claims, describes Chernoff as a "nobody" whom she "made" prominent, and accidentally discloses that she has been discarding Chernoff's policy plans without reading them. Chernoff returns to Ronsky and pledges his support. Later that night, he dismisses the palace guard and arrests the czarina. Troops storm the palace, but they are loyal to Catherine; Chancellor Nicolai has leveraged his illicit control of Russia's finances for the allegiance of the rebels and then immediately betrayed them. The uprising is quelled.

Ronsky is made Chancellor Nicolai's servant, but a betrayed Catherine sentences Chernoff to death, a condemnation that he accepts as a traitor. Lobbying by Chancellor Nicolai and Countess Jaschikoff (who has returned from exile) convinces the czarina to pardon Chernoff. Finally, Catherine and the French ambassador conduct their long-delayed meeting. The diplomat, himself a young and handsome nobleman, greets Catherine with such obsequious flattery that the Czarina takes a romantic interest in him, and the film ends with Chancellor Nicolai leaving the two to flirt in privacy, confident that a relationship between the two will lead to the alliance for which he has long schemed.

Production
Ernst Lubitsch, who directed the silent film Forbidden Paradise upon which A Royal Scandal is based, was the first director hired, but when he fell ill, he was replaced by Otto Preminger. However, Lubitsch directed the rehearsals, and he worked with Edwin Justus Mayer in the scripting process.

Reception
In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Bosley Crowther called the film "an oddly dull and generally witless show" and wrote:

eMacs from PCSU up for sale in Facebook Marketplace
If you've been wondering about the fate of the 16 eMac computers from the Student Media Lab at Lee University, the answer has arrived.
During spring break the old eMacs in the PCSU computer lab were replaced with new iMacs for communication students.
Several students inquired if it was possible to purchase one of the old machines.
Well, now the chance has arisen.
A Lee alumni is selling the computers after the university donated them to his mission work. The computers are priced at $250 each so that he may purchase more compact machines to travel with. Read More......

In what appears to be a mistake on the Lee University News & Events page, an article mix-up provides a chuckle.
The headline and photo are about Great Strides, but the copy is all about a Symphonic Band concert.
Combining the two isn't a bad idea though; after all, don't you enjoy good music while you run? Read More......

What's the must-do activity before graduating from Lee University?
If you guessed anything even vaguely academic, you're completely wrong. It appears that making phone calls is now the best way to spend your time as you prepare to receive your diploma.
Just ask the Class of 2009 at spring graduation. It was easy to find plenty of students chatting away on cell phones before the ceremony. More pictures after the jump.
• Also, see more photos from the spring 2009 graduation here and here.

Summer is among us.
Lee's seniors graduated today, summer school starts in a few days, Facebook status updates reveal that everyone is either packing or cleaning, Cleveland is warming up and everyone is in a jovial mood.
For those of us still in Cleveland, I've heard many opinions. Some enjoying staying in Cleveland for the summer, some had no choice and some just like to complain about the fact that they failed their Old Testament class last fall, so they have to stay for summer school to retake the class.
This is my first time staying in Cleveland while school is no longer in session. One thing is for sure, it's weird not packing all of my junk into random bags and boxes, only to try to carry boxes three times my body weight down four flights of stairs, in order to pack my car and make the eight hour drive back to Ohio.
However, I think I'm one of the Cleveland summer stayers who is glad about being here.
I now present to you:
Michelle's Top 5 reasons Lee's empty campus is not depressing
5. Wal-Mart trips: I can finally make a trip to Wal-Mart without half of Lee's student body seeing me cringing my teeth and trying to be nice to all of the fellow Wal-Mart shoppers. Actually, I can, almost, confidently walk into Wal-Mart in pajamas, with bed hair without seeing a single person I know. Dear, I hope Dr. Conn doesn't shop at Wal-Mart over the summer!
4. No lines: Forget waiting in lines at any of the campus hotspots over the summer. Well, that might be because they're not open as much, but when they are, lines in the PCSU food court, Jazzmans, any Cafe a la Cart, AND in the dining hall are to a minium.
3. Parker Street traffic: This makes getting from the PCSU to the Health Clinic a small journey. Not only do we not have everyone and their mother making U-turns during class changes, but you don't have to worry about the flood of pederistians in a hurry trying to get from the Humanities Center to the Vest Building.
2. Parking tickets: I mean, I'm not going to say it won't happen over the summer, but I've yet to get a parking ticket during a summer at Lee. The reason is probably due mostly in part to No. 1.
1. Prime Parking Spots: Less students + Less classes = More parking spaces. Which allows everyone to get a halfway decent spot, leaving the need to park illegally null.
Lee's summer life is to die for, I'm telling you.

So what's a good way to get the president's attention?
President Conn does an amazing job listening to student concerns and answering questions asked by those who attend Lee.
But what do you do when you need to get the president's attention in a public way?
Chalk messages on the front steps of the Vest Building seems to do the trick, as shown above.
If you're more of a private individual however, you can always send an e-mail to pconn@leeuniversity.edu or just wait for Ask the President Chapel to submit an anonymous query.
See one more photo of the chalk after the jump.

November 17, 2010 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – Federal regulators have released a proposed rule clarifying section 101(f) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) mandating annual defined benefit plan funding notices.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) said the proposed rule (RIN 1210-AB18) contains a model notice and other guidance necessary to carry out the requirements of the amendments in the Pension Protection Act (PPA) and the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act (WRERA).
EBSA's suggested rule is designed to implement the mandate that DB administrators annually notify the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), plan participants, beneficiaries, and others, generally no later than 120 days after the end of the plan year, about the program's funding status.
Among other topics, the proposal details the reporting requirements applying to plans taken over by the PBGC. "The Department believes, because of the separate disclosure requirements applicable to such plans under title IV of ERISA, a funding notice may be unnecessary or confusing to participants where the PBGC is appointed trustee of a terminated single-employer plan or where a terminated single-employer plan has already satisfied all benefit liabilities or all guaranteed benefits," EBSA said in the proposal.
The proposal is scheduled for publication in Thursday's Federal Register. The deadline for written comments on the proposed rule is January 18, 2011.
Mail: Office of Regulations and Interpretations, Employee Benefits Security Administration, Room N-5655, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20210, Attention: Annual Funding Notice for Defined Benefit Plans.

Q: How to ignore characters with Python Regex I am wondering if there is a better Python Regex solution for the one that I currently have?  Currently my code is:
import re

n = '+17021234567'
m = '7021234567'
match = re.search(r'(?:\+1)?(\d{10})', n)
match.group(1)

match = re.search(r'(?:\+1)?(\d{10})', m)
match.group(1)

The goal of the code is to only extract the 10 digit ph # if it has a leading +1 or not.  Currently it works, but I am wondering is there a way to just call match.group() to get the 10 digit ph # without calling match.group(1)?

A: No, without the use of capturing groups, it couldn't be possible through re.match function. Since re.match tries to match the input string from the beginning. But it could be possible through re.search
>>> re.search(r'\d{10}$', n).group()
'7021234567'
>>> re.search(r'\d{10}$', m).group()
'7021234567'

A: you want to only capture digit use '\d' for digit
n = '+17021234567'
re.findall('\d{10}$',n)

A: use this pattern
(?<=^|\+1)\d{10}$

Demo

(?<=                    look behind to see if there is:
  ^                       the beginning of the string
 |                        OR
  \+1                     '+1'
)                        end of look-behind
\d{10}                   digits (0-9) (10 times)
$                        before an optional \n, and the end of the string

The cliché about Australians being laid back, beach-loving larrikins with a predisposition for barbecues has been bandied about for years. But perhaps one of the more fascinating cultural concepts that has endured through changing circumstances is that of the great Australian dream. The desire to own one's own home has stood remarkably steady throughout the years, as has our love affair with honest, enduring and authentic clay bricks. Australians continue to name bricks as their most desired building material for their own home. In a national tracking study commissioned in August 2018 by the industry association Think Brick, 72 per cent of those surveyed agreed they would choose a home built with clay brick over any other material, while 83 per cent of people currently planning to build a home are looking at brick as their building material of choice. So why are Australians so loyal and traditional in their desire to build their dream home with the humble brick, especially when presented with so many new walling alternatives? "The design and architectural choices in brick façade options have never been greater than they are today with a plethora of colours, textures and styles available," says Jai Sanderson from PGH Bricks & Pavers. "The possibilities are enormous and cater to a multicultural spectrum of Australian lifestyles," he says. "We want every Australian to be able to find their perfect brick choice to build their great Australian dream home." The study revealed that 86 per cent of people surveyed grew up with the impression that brick is the best material to build a home with, and that bricks offer more possibilities to creating a unique look. For investment purposes, 73 per cent said a home built with clay brick gives a better return on investment than any other material, while 58 per cent believed a brick home reduces energy bills. There are also all the benefits brick provides to living conditions: those surveyed reported that brick is low maintenance (73 per cent), helps keep their home cooler in summer and warmer in winter (66 per cent) and reduces noise (67 per cent).
OPTIONS: From the rustic style of crafted Sandstocks, to the recycled look of industrial chic, all the way to classic red brick options, there's a brick for everyone to love.

What do we mean by "space" in the Iliad? The aim of this book is to offer a systematic and comprehensive presentation of the different types and functions of space in the earliest work of Greek literature. By adopting a twofold division between simple and embedded story space, the former pertaining to the actions of characters and the latter to their thoughts, Christos Tsagalis shows how character drawing and authority are deeply influenced by active spatial representation.
Similes and descriptive passages, in which space looms large, are also viewed in a new light as the author explores the relation between space designated in the similes and in the corresponding action of the main narrative. Given the importance in cognitive theory of the role of memory in an oral medium such as epic song, the book analyzes Homeric modes of visual memory, implicit knowledge, and mnemonic formats in order to better understand the composition and presentation of descriptive and ekphrastic passages, with special emphasis on the numerous prized objects and the monumental shield of Achilles.

Acolytes are primarily middle and high school aged youth who are trained to assist the priest during the service and to lead processions carrying the torches and cross. In many Christian denominations, an acolyte is anyone who performs ceremonial duties such as lighting altar candles.
The word acolyte is derived from the Greek word acolytos, meaning companion, attendant, or helper. The Acolyte ministry has its roots in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, where the prophet Samuel is seen assisting Eli, the Levite priest, and Elisha is seen assisting Elijah the Prophet.
Acolyte practice is the 2nd Saturday of every month from 11am to noon.
We ask that Acolytes be vested and ready for service by 9:30am each Sunday.


"We must strive to water the seed of understanding in ourselves and in others or peace will never come to Palestine."
Palestinians today live in Gaza, Israel, East Jerusalem, the West Bank and as refugees in many other countries.
Depending on where they live, Palestinians experience discrimination, denial of basic human rights, and an extreme degree of military violence against their civilian populations. The plight of Palestinians has been labeled ethnic cleansing by the United Nations and apartheid by leaders such as Desmond Tutu and Jimmy Carter.
We know that Kayla would have been deeply concerned about the Summer 2014 invasion of Gaza and accompanying humanitarian crisis, in which more than 2100 Gazans were killed, including 450 children.
Their best farm land, their wells, their olive trees, their livelihood, their very existence is silently and illegally being stolen from them; the village is slowly being strangled. If nothing is done to help the people of Bil'in, this barbed-wire fence will soon turn into an enormous concrete wall, that boasts to be 2X the height of the Berlin Wall.
This family has a tragic story, but it is the story of life in Palestine. Is this justice? Is it humane to illegally cage innocent human beings like dogs with a concrete wall?
Don't we all know the Rahmah family? Can't we all feel their pain from across the great ocean?
…Compassion's roots are in understanding.


It was the late Sir James Goldsmith who suggested that when a man marries his mistress, he creates a vacancy. Joanna Trollope cleverly adapted his memorable phrase for the title of her 2000 novel, Marrying the Mistress, doing no harm to sales of the book while also attracting a flurry of interest from film and television producers — which eventually came to naught.
But five years on it has become her first novel to be staged: a touring production with a starry cast, which opened in Guildford in mid-September and reaches its eleventh venue in Windsor, just before the panto season begins.
Despite its titillating title, the book suprisingly turns upside down all our received ideas about marital break-ups. A man who leaves his wife for another woman is automatically branded a villain, his wife becomes the injured, innocent party, while the mistress is a 'home-wrecker'.
But in this case a sweet-natured High Court judge of the greatest probity, played with gentle goodness by Jeremy Clyde, has endured a loveless marriage with a self-centred, bullying wife for half a lifetime.
Now he has plucked up courage to marry his mistress of seven years, a brilliant young barrister with an honest and open heart (Daisy Beaumont), but whose own mother (Jacqueline Clark) believes that this May to December relationship will end in grief for her daughter.
Meanwhile the 'wronged wife' reveals her true character as a manipulative monster — an uncharacteristic role for veteran actress Polly Addams — eventually alienating and upsetting all her own close family members with her demands for unquestioning support.
But the second surprise is that Trollope makes the older son, a High Street solicitor, and his adored wife, the true focus of her plot. This loving and attractive couple beautifully portrayed by Adrian Lukis and Caroline Langrishe now find their own marriage going through a vulnerable patch because of his mother's constant demands on his time and professional support, until the matter quite suddenly reaches breaking point.
Meanwhile their teenage son, a part well-served by Mat Ruttle making his professional stage debut, is going through a crisis of first love; while the boy's bachelor uncle also has a lot on his mind as he throws himself into a new gay domestic partnership with a doctor — a cleverly cool performance by Damien Goodwin.
As all this suggests, the actors carry the evening. But serious staging difficulties have been introduced by the director's approach to his own adaptation of the book. David Taylor's apparent objective has been to stage the novel rather than to create a dramatic equivalent that respects Trollope's themes, while also respecting our theatrical expectations.
For example, the evening begins with a repetitive series of static telephone conversations. For these the actors stand like spotlit statues, facing the audience, delivering what amounts to character and motivational insights, a novelistic device that would be acceptable in a radio play, but is surely out of place in the theatre.
This technique is also repeated subsequently, as are the rather too many 'phone calls that replace face-to-face dialogue.
Clearly all this should have been developed through sustained dramatic action. But even when action takes over from exposition, the scenes are televisually short, interrupted by blackouts and a tinkling piano motif, as we watch the shadowy figures of the players taking up their next positions.
As a leading American director, David Taylor has also placed heavy demands on his stage designer Simon Higlett, whose basic setting of two adjoining kitchens subtly reveals the assumptions and lifestyles of their occupants.
But the production is furniture-heavy, with alternative settings like DFS sofa ads constantly trucked out from left and right to serve short, downstage scenes — scenes which are sometimes put into awkward 'freeze mode' as the focus turns to another part of the forest.
Given these problems (also noted by fellow critics) it seems unlikely that this adaptation will enjoy a stage life beyond its present tour, despite the excellence of the cast. But I am confident that, were BBC Radio 4 prepared to take up the challenge, Taylor's play would make a popular 90-minute radio drama.

Herschede Grandfather Clock what is the value?
I purchased a mode #217, Herschede Grandfather Clock from Leitzel Jewelry in Millersburg, Pennsylvania on August 6, 1969 and it traveled to Texas with me in 1983.
has real tubular chimes and plays: Westminster, Canterbury, and Whittingdon melodies.
The clock is in excellent condition and I am looking to find the approximate worth of it today.
I am contemplating on selling it in the near future.
The demand for grandfather clock is more these days. My father purchased one if it a couple of months back and have painted and polished it. I think this is really an antique piece and very rare too.
I have a Herschede Havorford in great condition that I want to sell. Contact me at whatevergs@comcast.net for pictures if you are interested.

Reduced price for sale in Jan.
In excellent condition...would like to sell by early Jan. Currently in storage. $4,200.
Did you receive the clock photos sent earlier today?
Is your clock still for sale, and do you have a picture of it. Please contact me at marilynray@comcast.net. Thanks!

Priced to sell now, $4,700.
Excellent condition Herschede Hall clock, from mid-70's for sale. Prefer to have it stay in the NE area, instead of shipping. Located in MA. Is in great shape...estimated value is $14,000. Am selling for $8,500.
I am willing to take a reasonable offer on my Herschede Grandfather clock. 9 tube. Excellent working condition. Has been sitting for a while, but all works.
I live in NJ and inherited a 1030 clock from my great great Aunt who lived in Philadelphia and bought the clock around 1929.
It is mahogany and works perfectly.
please call 772-231-3764 if interested.
I'm guessing the cost is about $9000 but I need to do more research to be sure.
I have a Herschede Grandfather clock also. Where do I find the number on the clock. I am looking to sell it. I had it serviced a couple of years ago, but it was too loud for the family and they didn't want to hear the noise. So it just sits, but does work. I would like to find out what the value is and possible sell it. It stands approx 7ft tall, it is all wood case with glass windows on 3 sides it has 3 wts and 9 tubes. You can email me at RGonzalez10865@gmail.com or you can call me at 818-429-7405. I am located in CA. Thanks in advance.
Mine is for sale.10,000.Owned by walter herschede,given to my aunt who was his controller.
To answer your question. I recently spoke with my clock man here in San Antonio. He values the clock at $15,000.00 if I lived on the east coast, and $12,500.00 here in Texas. It needs to be cleaned and oiled.. Thanks for asking. Tried sending you an email.
Have you sold the clock yet? How many tube is it 9 or 5? I would be interested in it. What are you asking?
Thanks for your comment about your grandparents living in Elizabethville. I think there were two Leitzel brothers, one with a store in Millersburg and the other in Lykens. Glad to know there are some more clocks out there and that they might be worth quite a bit. One of these days I will need to downsize and will advertise the clock. I have had it since August of 1969. Thanks again.
My grandparents lived in Elizabethville, PA (very close to Millersburg) from 1936 through 1974. They had the exact same clock as you, and were friends with the Leitzel family – but I suspect a different branch thereof. I believe our clock was purchased at Wannamaker's in Philadelphia in 1951. I wonder if our families knew each other. These Herschede 217 clocks are not found every house across the US and we have identical models from neighboring towns. I took possession of our clock from other relatives on May 14, 2011 and am already rejuvenating it. It has not run well in roughly 25 years and has not run at all in the last 15-20 years. I am finding that it is much more tolerant and sturdy than I feared. FYI – I have seen these on eBay for $13k and the inner mechanics alone for $4-5k.
for $15,000.I would sell mine for $8000.
Mine appears to look like yours.
I WAS LOOKING AT A LISTING FOR FOR A CLOCK AUCTION BY R.O. SCHMITT AND CLOCK AUCTION OCT 31, 2010 AND #503 AND #511 LOOK LIKE YOUR CLOCK. CHECK TO SEE IF IT IS A WINTERHALDER MOVEMENT MADE IN GERMANY. THEY USUALLY BRING MORE MONEY. THE SCHMITT CLOCK IS A WINTERHALDER AND PRE AUCTION VALUE IS LISTED AT $1500 TO $2500 FOR EITHER CLOCK.
THIS IS A HUGE AUCTION FIRM AND YOU CAN GOOGLE THEM. CLOCK #503 SOLD FOR $850 AND #511 SOLD FOR $900 YOU MAY HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING WHAT THEY WILL. I WOULD NOT SELL MINE THAT CHEAP!
Yes, I will sell it for the right price. What do you offer?


I remember when you got those pictures. What an emotional time. Thank you to your son for defending our freedom. Thank you for the sacrifices you make while he was gone.
Thank you, sweet Suz. It is with friends like you that I find my courage.

Philadelphia Standoff Suspect Maurice Hill 'Should Never Have Been on the Streets,' Philly DA Larry Krasner Says
Maurice Hill, accused of shooting six Philadelphia police officers during an hourslong standoff, has a lengthy criminal record dating back to his teenage years
By Rudy Chinchilla	• Published August 15, 2019 • Updated on August 15, 2019 at 7:22 pm
Maurice Hill, 36, is accused of shooting six Philadelphia police officers during an hourslong standoff in the city's Nicetown-Tioga section.
Hll has a rap sheet that dates back almost two decades. At one point he was sentenced to nearly five years in federal prison.
Hill has been convicted of federal weapons charges, as well as aggravated assault, drug and other charges.
The man suspected of shooting six Philadelphia police officers during an hourslong standoff should not have been on the streets and "obviously was a tremendous danger to the public and to law enforcement," the city's district attorney said Thursday.
Maurice Hill, 36, surrendered to police shortly after midnight Thursday after the gunfight inside a rowhome in the Nicetown-Tioga section of North Philadelphia. The residential neighborhood was locked down for more than seven hours.
Hill has not been charged, but he will face "a lot of charges" that could ensure he will "never exit jail," District Attorney Larry Krasner said. "Obvious" charges that will be filed include attempted murder and aggravated assault, Krasner said.
Philadelphia Police say Maurice Hill (inset) surrendered after a seven-hour standoff where six officers were shot. See Larger
"It is pretty obvious that there should be charges of attempted murder. It is pretty obvious there should be charges of aggravated assault in the first degree. It's pretty obvious that there are some serious firearm charges including the fact that he was a felon before he was handling this weapon," he said.
The standoff began around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday and ended shortly after midnight Thursday. Two officers and three civilians were safely evacuated before the arrest, having been trapped for hours in the same home as the shooter. Another officer was also injured in a car crash while responding to the standoff.
Hill is suspected of firing more than 100 rounds during the ordeal, Krasner said. He appeared to be armed with an AR-15-style weapon and a handgun, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said.
Despite the heavy gunfire, everyone involved made it out alive.
"People were saying really ugly things on social media and I was afraid that this was going to turn even more deadly, quite frankly, and end with a real stain on our city," Hill's lawyer, Shaka Johnson, said.
Johnson joined police as they negotiated with Hill long into the night.
"I wanted to see this end peacefully, but quite frankly, enough had been done where I think folks would understand if it didn't end peacefully. So, I wanted to impress that upon him and engage him into coming out of his own volition," Johnson said.
Hill's criminal record dates back almost two decades and includes convictions on illegal gun possession. He was first arrested as an 18-year-old in 2001 for illegally possessing a gun with an altered serial number, court records show. He was found guilty on five counts related to that arrest.
In 2002 he was arrested yet again and eventually pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance and criminal conspiracy.
Hill would continue to be arrested over the years, with his crimes escalating in severity. In 2008, he was convicted of resisting arrest, criminal trespass and fleeing from police. Three years later, he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and most recently was found guilty of perjury, in 2013.
Krasner confirmed that Hill was convicted of federal weapons crimes in 2010 and was under the supervision of federal authorities up to around 2016. Federal court records indicate he was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm and sentenced to four years and seven months in prison, plus three years of supervised release.
However, Hill was not convicted of dozens of other charges, including kidnapping, terroristic threats, illegally possessing guns, possession of controlled substances and simple assault. Other charges, like receiving stolen property and more gun and drug charges, were dismissed through the years.
Court records also indicate that Hill repeatedly violated his probation. In fact, he had a probation violation hearing scheduled for next Tuesday.
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
U.S. Attorney William McSwain directly blamed Krasner and his reform-focused policies for the shooting. In a statement, he said the gunfire erupted because, "There is a new culture of disrespect for law enforcement in this City that is promoted and championed by District Attorney Larry Krasner - and I am fed up with it."
U.S. Attorney William McSwain slammed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner while speaking on the shooting of 6 Philadelphia police officers.
However, Hill's crimes preceded Krasner's time in office. Krasner added that he and his office had not had any connection with, or prosecution of, Hill during his time as district attorney.
"As best I can tell, there has been no new criminal matter in the city and county of Philadelphia in 2018-2019 and I believe not even something originating in 2017, which would be the year before we were in office," Krasner said.
Krasner, who has tussled with Donald Trump-appointed McSwain in the past, defended his administration's approach to crime in the city. The approach consists of "disinterest in prosecuting minor offenses" like marijuana possession in favor of "going after more serious offenses," Krasner said.
He also refused to directly blame his predecessors for Hill being out on the street before the shooting. However, he did acknowledge that, "The criminal justice system, imperfect as it is, did not stop this terrible incident."
Johnson described his client as "different" than the man with the long rap sheet and accusation that he shot police officers. In the last three years, Hill had enrolled in school and was taking computer classes, Johnson said.
Hill is also the father of a teenage boy and a 2-day-old infant girl, he added. During negotiations with police, Hill phoned Johnson and asked for him to arrange for his partner to go to the scene.
"He called at 8:30 [p.m.] and [said], 'Unc, it's me,' and I instantly knew what that meant. The tone of his voice - I just knew. I didn't have to say, 'What do you mean?'" Johnson said.
Commissioner Ross was even at the scene during negotiations, a first-time move he called "unorthodox."
"I have to admit, I did not think that this guy was going to come out alive after several conversations with him and hearing a bunch of information throughout the afternoon," Ross said. Hill made "a bunch of unreasonable requests" during negotiations, prolonging the standoff, the commissioner added.
The requests included being able to see his daughter and partner, Johnson said. He added that the patience shown by Ross, his officers, hostage negotiators and district attorney Krasner prevented a further tragedy, though Krasner said all credit should go to police and federal authorities who assisted during the standoff.
"It is in fact a miracle. It is in fact, as far as I'm concerned, proof that there is a God," Johnson said as he described the fact that everyone made it out of the standoff alive.

Forgiveness and Reconciliation
Religion, Public Policy, and Conflict Transformation
Edited by Raymond G. Helmick Rodney L. Petersen
Foreword by Desmond M. Tutu
Published Date: June, 2001
Size: 6 x 9
Chinese (complex)
his book brings together a unique combination of experts in the area of conflict resolution and focuses on the role forgiveness can play in the process. It deals with the theology, public policy, psychological and social theory, and social policy implementation of forgiveness.
The first section of the book explores how ideas like "forgiveness" and "reconciliation" are moving out from the seminary and academy into the world of public policy, and how these terms have been used and defined in the past. One of the contributors, Miroslav Volf, speaks to the Christian contribution of a more peaceful environment. The second section looks at forgiveness and public policy. One of the chapters, by Donald W. Shriver Jr., addresses forgiveness in a secular political forum.
The third section of the book draws us to a more particular analysis of the relationship between forgiveness and reconciliation from voices in the academic and theological community. John Paul Lederach presents five qualities of practice in support of the reconciliation process. John Dawson gives hope for peace-making in a new century. The final section highlights the work of practitioners currently working with religion, public policy, and conflict transformation, particularly in areas such as Ireland and Africa. This book will be an essential for libraries, scholars, conflict negotiators, and all people who hope to understand the role of forgiveness in the peace process.

Q: Make motor run slower I was wondering if anyone could help me or give advice. I have an old electric green goods shredder. I want to use the motor to make a wood turning machine. How do I add a simple speed control to the motor?
FYI, I'm a complete novice. I have no experience in electrical circuits but I know the obvious stuff like +/-
Any help would be great.

A: There's various type of AC motor. I assume you are talking about single-phase AC motor. But I'm suggesting not to do anything with it without the help of an experienced person.
The speed of any AC motor can be changed. The most popular way is the variable frequency driver. Besides you can use Triac. Nowadays, solid-state relay IC has become very popular instead of Triac.
And if you start to work with it, be aware of the heat generated in various IC.
Watch these youtube videos: VFD , Triac ,Solid-state relay
And you will find all of these in any electrical hardware store.
Solid-state relay
Triac dimmer
VFD
I'm saying again, don't do these alone. Playing with high voltage has two outputs: 1. Coooool, 2. You are in hospital or dead

A: Not all electric motors can be made to run slower. So without knowing what you have, nobody can help you. But as a general rule if this motor came from a household type machine made to run on single phase AC power, it most likely cannot be made to run slower. So your only options to change the speed would involve mechanical means (belts, pulleys, gears etc.), something not covered by this site.


Shadow Star, known in Japan as Narutaru, which comes from the abbreviation of "Mukuro Naru Hoshi, Tama Taru Ko", is the name of a Japanese manga and of the anime series which was based on the manga. The series was created by Mohiro Kitoh and was originally serialized in the magazine Afternoon. When asked about the manga, Mohiro Kitoh stated that he had about 80% of the entire story planned out from the beginning. When he was asked about the anime series, he stated he was grateful it was made. In the United States, it was licensed by Dark Horse and serialized in Super Manga Blast!
The 13-episode anime adaptation was broadcast in 2003 on the Japanese television station Kids Station. The anime was licensed by Central Park Media and released as Shadow Star Narutaru, and has played on Comcast's Anime Selects multiple times. In 2007 it ran on the Illusion on Demand television network. Central Park Media released the title under their "U.S. Manga Corps" line, on 4 DVDs, and later re-released the DVDs in a box set. Central Park Media filed for bankruptcy in 2009, and the DVDs have since been out of print.
The protagonist of the series is a twelve-year-old girl named Shiina Tamai. She bonds with a starfish-shaped "dragonchild" whom she calls Hoshimaru. The series is mainly about the interaction between Shiina and other young people who have also bonded with dragons.
Season 1 of Shadow Star Narutaru premiered on July 7, 2003.
We don't have any reviews for Shadow Star Narutaru.

Viewers dive into Splash
The original cast of Splash includes a variety of celebrities, ranging from NFL star Ndamukong Suh to Baywatch babe Nicole Eggert to NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Splash airs every Tuesday night on ABC at 8.
As my avid fans will attest, and as I will shamelessly admit, I have a slight obsession with reality television competitions. The Voice, The Sing-Off, The Apprentice, Duets, American Idol, The Taste, Dancing With the Stars, The X-Factor, you name it, I've seen it and most likely followed it religiously. I never said I was proud.
Still, in all my years of mindlessly indulging in these programs, it never ceases to amaze me what television producers come up with next. Networks now seem more willing than ever to stretch the limits of what deserves to be on primetime, straying farther and farther from some of the founding fathers of reality television, Survivor and Fear Factor.
This spring, ABC stretched the idea of a 'reality TV contest' further than any network had before.
Yes, I'm talking about Splash.
ABC's newest primetime reality contest, which airs on Tuesday nights at 8, pits ten celebrities (or almost-celebrities) against one another in a fight to name the best diver… at least I think.
Sure, Splash follows the conventional reality-show performance and scoring routine, but all for what? Every week divers are eliminated, but in neither of the first two shows is any sort of final prize announced. Because the contestants are celebrities, I would assume any eventual earnings would go to charity, but again, without releasing any information, I am left alone with my assumptions.
Let's get away from the murkiness of the actual competition. Splash features a surprisingly diverse group of stars, ranging from NFL star Ndamukong Suh to Baywatch babe Nicole Eggert to NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Not every contestant is nearly as famous as these three (sorry Katherine Webb), but the moderate star power is intriguing to say the least.
With no definite reward, a mixed bag group of contenders and a generally ridiculous overall concept, Splash seems destined to flop, literally and in the ratings.
Or does it?
As the show progresses, testimonies from contestants reference issues of bravery, self-image and even the American military. The emotional interviews with the "stars" oftentimes blunt the humiliation that comes from the actual diving, leaving viewers touched rather than laughing.
With everything going on in Splash, I was more than skeptical as to the validity of the show. I fully expected to tune in, laugh at a few belly flops, then change the channel. However, as more competitors walked the plank, I found myself slowly being drawn in.
Maybe it's just my affection for reality shows, but Splash might actually be onto something. By bring on the greatest diver of all time, Greg Louganis, as mentor in addition to two Olympic divers, David Boudia and Steve Foley, as judges, the Splash producers are making an honest effort to bring credibility and respect to diving.
Personally, I see Splash as a Dancing With the Stars–Wipeout hybrid, the type of show that could quickly become America's newest guilty pleasure. Only time will tell, however, whether or not Splash is here to stay or if it is one big flop.

Q: Can't use "use Illuminate\Support\Collection;" Getting errors like this when I try to use methods like all() or keyBy() The "use Illuminate\Support\Collection;" says its not using it.
BadMethodCallException in Builder.php line 2025: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::all()
$myArray = Item::whereitem_url($item->item_url)->all();
if( sizeof($myArray) > 0 )
{
    foreach ($myArray as $key => $value)
    {
       $myArray2[$value->iten_id] = $value;
    }
}

A: If you're trying to get "items" from DB, you can not use method all() together with where() clause, use get() instead.
$myArray = Item::whereItem_url($item->item_url)->get();

Method all() can be used only like this:
$myArray = Item::all();

OBJECTIVE — To identify determinants associated with increasing severity of middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis in asymptomatic Chinese type 2 diabetic patients with and without MCA stenosis determined using transcranial Doppler. Conventional risk factors contribute to the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke, and differences in the pattern of these may explain the heterogeneity of disease presentation in different populations. In Chinese patients, MCA stenosis is the most commonly identified intracranial vascular lesion. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS — Anthropometric and fasting biochemical parameters were compared between type 2 diabetic patients with MCA stenosis in one (n = 185) or both (n = 200) vessels and 1,492 type 2 diabetic patients without evidence of stenosis. RESULTS — Increasing MCA stenotic vascular involvement was associated with significantly increasing age, duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure, and LDL cholesterol, but with lower glucose levels. There was also an increased prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and use of blood pressure- and glucose-lowering agents in the patients with MCA stenosis. Concomitant significant increases in the prevalence of peripheral vascular disease and retinopathy were also observed in the patients with MCA stenosis. CONCLUSIONS — Transcranial Doppler examination identified stenosis in one or both MCAs in over one-fifth of the Chinese type 2 diabetic subjects without symptoms of cerebrovascular disease. A number of conventional cardiovascular risk factors were closely associated with MCA stenosis. This technique may allow the identification of a particularly high-risk group, and further studies are required to determine whether asymptomatic MCA stenosis is predictive of primary cerebrovascular events and whether intensive treatment of risk factors would reduce the risk.


YouTube is the world's second largest search engine processing more than 3 billion searches a month. According to Mushroom Networks, YouTube reaches more adults in the United States ages 18-34 than any cable network. This dynamic ability to be one of the largest search engines while also being viewed as a video content provider by one of the most sought-after audiences, makes YouTube a very attractive option for digital advertisements. But what YouTube ad types work best for your brand and digital marketing strategy as a whole?
There are a variety of advertisement options that a business can utilize through Google AdWords but we are going to break down the options into four different types of ads: display, videos, sponsored cards, and discovery. Below is a breakdown of YouTube ad types with examples and costs associated.
Display advertisements are a YouTube ad type that can be broken down into two options within YouTube: display and overlay. Both options are only available on desktop viewing. A true display ad for YouTube is in the display box area to the right of or below the video player depending on screen size.
Very similar to an AdWord Display campaign, you only pay for clicks on the display ad and can target placement based upon keyword searches and specific video channels. For example, if you were selling a carpet cleaning product, you might want to target searches such as "carpet cleaning tips" and "carpet cleaning diy" while also placing the ad on your YouTube channel. This gives your display ad the most relevance to your target audience. For additional tips on ad targeting, our AdWords guide is a great resource.
An overlay ad is a semi-transparent box that is on top of the lower 20% of the video player. The ad can contain an image, text, or both. An overlay ad can follow the same targeting as a display ad and again is only charged if a user clicks on your ad. An overlay ad is a great way to provide a call-to-action on your own videos for users to take a next step to your website or direct traffic to an applicable resource.
Most people think of video ads when they think of a YouTube ad which makes sense given the platform. However, there are different types of video ads that an advertiser can use based upon their goal: skippable, non-skippable, and bumper ads. All three options are available on desktop and mobile in the video player with only skippable being also offered on TV and game consoles.
This is currently the most common ad format for YouTube advertisements with viewers being able to skip over your video after 5 seconds of viewing. It is popular for good reason: this is the only advertisement option that is available on any device and you are only charged when the viewer gets to 30 seconds or watches the entire ad (whichever comes first). The advertisement can play at the beginning, middle, or end of the video. This is a great option is you have a quickly engaging video ad or messaging that users will want to watch in it's entirety.
Just as it sounds, these video ads must be fully viewed by the user. The user does not have the option to pass over the video, therefore you are charged for each view. The video must be at least 15 seconds long and can still be inserted in the beginning, middle, or end of a video.
Although the non-skippable video ad sounds like a great options since viewers must see your content, you are not able to really gauge engagement as they must view the whole video. This is also one of the most expensive options are you are paying for each view.
Sponsored cards are perfect for an eCommerce company by putting the relevant product or products in the video easily accessible as an overlay on the right side of the video player. If we go back to the carpet cleaner example, you could have your carpet cleaning products used in your video as sponsored cards within the video. A viewer can easily click on the product and be directed right to the online store to purchase the product.
The sponsored product cards can be seen on desktop and mobile devices and the actual card sizes vary. Although this ad size is relatively new, this has become a very popular option for eCommerce advertisers as it is a convenient click-to-purchase option.
Discovery advertisements or "TrueView" ads run across both YouTube and Google Display Network as suggested videos. For example, in YouTube they can be found on the search results and watch pages in both desktop and mobile viewing options. The ad consists of an image thumbnail as well as up to three lines of text. If a user clicks on the ad, they are then directed to the full video hosted on YouTube or the channel page.
This is one of YouTube's newest advertising movements and is getting a lot of traction, specifically with advertisers who have solid videos or channels already on the platform. The goal of the ads are to bring traffic and views to your specific video or channel by targeting similar videos or channel audiences. With the ad type being newer and somewhat more organic looking, users are seeing great results. It is also advised to have an overlay on the video to take people through the next step of the advertising funnel most likely to a website.
As you can see, there are many possibilities when choosing YouTube ad types that are right for your business. Creating a strategy that combines these different YouTube ad types will ensure that you reach your audience in a variety of ways. This will increase the overall effectiveness of your YouTube campaign.
Are organic leads no longer sustaining your sales funnel?


Therapeutic Kinesio Taping method is used for treatment of various musculo-skeletal conditions. Kinesio Taping might have some small clinically important beneficial effects on range of motion and strength but findings about the effects on proprioception and muscle activation are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to test if Kinesio Taping influences anticipatory postural adjustments and postural reflex reactions. To test the hypothesis twelve healthy young participants were recruited in randomized, participants blinded, placebo controlled cross-over study. In the experimental condition the tape was applied over the paravertebral muscles and in placebo condition sham application of the tape was done transversally over the lumbar region. Timing of anticipatory postural adjustments to fast voluntary arms movement and postural reflex reactions to sudden loading over the hands were measured by means of superficial electromyography before and one hour after each tape application.
reflex reactions in young pain free participants. Further research in patients with low back pain would be encouraged.

How did the outbreak start? 20 residents, 10 staff members at Framingham's St. Patrick's Manor have coronavirus.

Visitors had already been barred from visiting the facility, but staff at St. Patrick's Manor, like staff at most nursing homes, continued to work their second and third jobs. Some work at other facilities in the area where coronavirus patients are being treated, including MetroWest Medical Center and Leonard Morse Hospital, Sister Maureen McDonough said.
FRAMINGHAM — A total of 20 residents and 10 staff members at St. Patrick's Manor have tested positive for the coronavirus, the nonprofit short-term and long-term care facility told the Daily News on Tuesday.
All patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 are now being cared for on the first floor of the facility, located at 863 Central St., according to St. Patrick's Manor Administrator Sister Maureen McDonough. Staff who have tested positive are not returning to work until they receive a negative test result.
Staff at St. Patrick's Manor, where most of the 268 residents are elderly, have not yet had to send anyone to the hospital for coronavirus-related complications, McDonough said.
"They're doing really well," she said of the patients. "They can talk to their loved ones. The nurses do FaceTime with them."
Massachusetts is now at center of national coronavirus outbreak. Gov. Baker appears on CBS's 'Face the Nation.'
How did the outbreak happen?
The coronavirus, which has ravaged senior living and care facilities across the state, first came to St. Patrick's Manor around March 23, McDonough said.
An employee – one of more than 400 at the facility – learned that her mother had the virus, which prompted her to go into self-quarantine.
"She went and got tested a couple of days later, and she was positive herself," McDonough said.
After learning of the positive test, staff began to notify residents, families, employees and the state and local health departments.
Visitors had already been barred from visiting the facility, but staff at St. Patrick's Manor, like staff at most nursing homes, continued to work their second and third jobs. Some work at other facilities in the area where coronavirus patients are being treated, including MetroWest Medical Center and Leonard Morse Hospital, McDonough said.
Coronavirus in Massachusetts: Here's what we know, latest updates town-by-town
Within the next week, St. Patrick's Manor learned a patient recently transferred there from a hospital had been cared for by a nurse at that hospital who tested positive for the virus. The patient was placed in quarantine in her private room, which also has a private bathroom. She eventually tested positive for the virus.
St. Patrick's Manor instructed any nurses caring for that patient to wear personal protective equipment including N95 masks, gloves and gowns when caring for her, and to dispose of the equipment after leaving her room.
At that point, McDonough still wasn't worried about an outbreak at St. Patrick's Manor. Both the staff member and patient had seemingly contracted the virus elsewhere.
"I figured we'd be fine," McDonough said. "I've been in long-term care for a long time and these are the things that happen and you just follow your policies and your procedures and the guidance from CDC and you're going to be OK as long as everybody follows procedure."
Then cases surged in Massachusetts.
The National Guard visited St. Patrick's Manor on April 2 to test residents for the virus. It would be the first of three visits to the facility by the National Guard. The second and third visits occurred on April 10 and April 17, according to McDonough.
"We called them because their turnaround (for coronavirus tests) is three days, whereas if you go to a lab, it's probably about seven days," McDonough said.
We are allowing free access to all coronavirus-related stories that benefit public health and will continue to do so throughout this crisis. We are doing so as a public service. We encourage you to support our locally-focused journalism by subscribing to MetroWestDailyNews.com.
During the National Guard's first visit, McDonough said the servicemen and women tested four residents who were either showing mild symptoms of the virus or had underlying respiratory conditions that could make it more dangerous. Two test results were positive, two were negative.
As the days wore on, the facility tested more residents, and got more positive results back.
McDonough said St. Patrick's Manor began moving COVID-19-positive residents to a coronavirus-specific unit on the first floor on April 6. A team of roughly 10 staff members are now caring solely for those residents, McDonough said.
Staff members have their temperatures taken before each shift, and residents in non-coronavirus units are being monitored for potential symptoms, McDonough said.

McDonough said Monday that St. Patrick's Manor has two more beds available in its coronavirus unit. If more people test positive, staff will likely have to reconfigure a new portion of the facility to accommodate coronavirus-positive patients.
'We've done a good job'
McDonough said she thinks St. Patrick's Manor has handled the outbreak there well.
"I think we've done a good job," she said. "We work as a team. We discuss it with all our staff. Our residents and employees, they remain our top priority, keeping everybody safe. St. Patrick's Manor continues to follow all the CDC and Department of Health guidelines as it pertains to containing and managing the (COVID-19) virus."
St. Patrick's Manor communicates with Framingham's health department multiple times a day, as well as the state Department of Public Health and the Massachusetts Long-Term Care Mutual Aid organization, McDonough said.

She compared managing the crisis in St. Patrick's Manor day-to-day to following a bouncing ball.
"You never know from one day to the next," she said. "It can go anywhere."
McDonough said if she'd known how fast the coronavirus would spread she would have ensured the facility had more personal protective equipment and medical supplies on hand, including thermometers and blood pressure cuffs.
St. Patrick's Manor received some personal protective equipment from the Department of Public Health and a donation of 500 N95 masks from Robert Kraft, who owns the New England Patriots, but the facility still expects to run out of the supplies it needs to protect staff and residents in roughly three weeks.
"If it is only gonna last another week and a half, we're going to be good," McDonough said. "If it lasts longer, we'll be looking for it."
