Biographies of musicians are strange things. Do we really need to know about relationships, family, influences etc., or should we just listen to the music? Contextualisation can be a strange thing, often taking away any mystique, sometimes reducing the music to merely a gathering of events, emotions and reportage, ignoring the creative catalyst and processes that any composer has to find and use.
Jason Molina, however, is one of those musicians so deeply embedded in his own work, and this book so empathetic and informative, written with such a light touch, that the biographical story told here can't help but aid us to understand the creative blooming and alcoholic demise of a great, somewhat neglected, musician.
Erin Osmon gives us enough plain biography to situate Molina in the strange hinterland of the American Midwest, before telling us how he escaped to go to college where his musical career starts in earnest with self-produced tapes. His band Songs: Ohia would quickly gain a cult following as well as a record deal with Secretly Canadian, an indie label who would support Molina throughout his prolific career, with solo and collaborative albums as well as discs by Magnolia Electric Co., which Songs: Ohia mutated into.
Osmon captures both the excitement and tedium of touring, the friendships and divides between the musicians and those they worked with, as well as the camaraderie of indie-rock networks that Molina and his band were able to plug into. There are plenty of high jinks here, great gigs and critical acclaim; but also depression and discontent, drugs and drink. Molina could be cruel – to himself and his friends and fellow musicians, and he drowned any regrets about this, as well as bolstering his courage to be awkward and in charge, through alcohol.
As with many such self-abusers, it takes a while for his addiction to be noticed; and often, this is only in retrospect, as those who Osmon interviews for this book sometimes note. Too many people allowed Molina to hurt them, and hurt himself, in the name of the great songs he was writing. They are full of melancholy, nostalgia, travel and loss; are beautiful electric elegies to buy into and share. Osmon suggests that Molina often relied on a preferred collector's set of metaphors, which mirrored the very real events of his life. He sang of moons, trains, ghosts, flowers, wolves, and bells, providing a sort of tactile connection to his studies and surroundings and to the celebration and suffering he felt inside of himself.
He was heralded a balladeer of heartbreak, but in reality found tremendous hope in the sad songs he wrote and recorded.
Molina's songs are not morbid autobiographical wallows, however. His 'set of metaphors' give a poetic, literary element to the songs, and like many songwriters (such as Neil Young, John Martyn and Nick Drake – though Molina sounds like none of these) allow listeners to buy into the music, sharing and interpreting them for ourselves.
Molina could never understand why he wasn't more popular, but then at times he could also not understand why anyone would listen to his music. Caught in this quandary, separated from his wife, at odds with musicians, constantly arguing with himself, he sank into drink, to the point where he could not create or record the music he needed to. His long attempt at sobriety, with visits to rehab, was eventually made public by his record label as fans wondered why a tour had been cancelled and no new music was forthcoming. Molina was supported by his ex-partner, friend and bandmates throughout this process, but eventually it failed, and all too soon Molina was dead.
Erin Osmon is a great biographer, writer and critic. She has used new interviews to weave an empathetic and informative story around Molina and his music, without turning him into a martyr, without trying to make him even more of a cult figure than he has become. She does not condone or condemn, simply tells it straight. Here is the story of one creative spirit who could not cope. Here is how he lived and made the music he left behind. Read and listen: it is the story of how music is made.

My account and PayPal e-mails are different.
Hello Anthony. I am a former VirtWire user. Now that they are gone, and by the way I'm deeply sorry about that, I wanted to try an Inception Hosting UK LES box. But before that, I have a question regarding your TOS.
I read this in your TOS: "Anyone wishing to use paypal accepts that the email address and name in the billing information must match the details of the paypal account used unless photographic and supporting documentation is sent in advance of your order your service will be suspended immediately quoting this subsection.". My PayPal e-mail is different than the e-mail I want to register on Inception Hosting. I want to use my personal e-mail with you, because these LES boxes are my personal toys/playgrounds/whatever. My PayPal account, on the other hand, is registered using my work e-mail. The question is, what evidence do I need to provide? I was going to upload a photo of my driver's licence and paste the link of it to the Additional Notes field, but I wanted to be sure that I don't violate your TOS.
That's all, I hope this post isn't too long for the volunteering efforts you put in LES. Keep up the good work!

Chiefs of staff of the US, Russia, and Turkey met in Istanbul in 2017.
Turkey chooses Russian Missile Defence System: NATO must be cautious of this growing relation
Beyond Europe, Turkey
Turkey's missile defence dilemma has continued for a while. Recent reports confirm that Turkey has agreed to purchase Russian air and missile defence system, the S-400 Triumph. The deal is worth $2.5billion under which Turkey would receive two batteries of anti-missile system. The S-400 weapon system can detect track and destroying aircraft, drones and missiles- including cruise and ballistic missiles.
Until November 2015, there were reports that Turkey showed interest to purchase Chinese air and missile defence system FD-2000. In November 2015, reports came in that Turkey had cancelled the $3.4 billion deal with China to develop long range missile defence system. Though that seemed to be a respite for NATO countries which had time and again raised objections to a Chinese missile defence system in Turkey, another NATO member, the Russian deal is equally a matter of concern for NATO.
Author: Debalina Ghosha is a policy associate with Delhi Policy Group on the National Security program.
The NATO countries have raised objections to the Chinese air defence system on grounds that the missile defence system would enable China to gather information on NATO's missile defence system. This is because Turkey's missile defence system would have to be integrated with the NATO missile defence system for interoperability. This, NATO feared would enable China to develop counter measures against NATO missile defence shield. Turkey chose China Precision Machinery Import and Export Corp. Apparently; the company was once sanctioned by the United States for selling missile related technologies to Iran in 2013.
The issue of missile defence in Turkey has remained a contentious issue. Turkey, which has been the worst affected by Syrian crisis, needed sophisticated missile defence system to protect its territory. NATO countries like Germany, the United States, the Netherlands and Spain stationed their Patriot air and missile defence system in Turkey for protection against incoming missile threats. However, the United States, Turkey and Netherlands removed their Patriot systems after a while. At present only Spain and Italy have their missile defence systems stationed in Turkey. Needless to say that Turkey has been upset with this move of its NATO allies. Turkey's faith in NATO is declining and that has been proved by its reduction in defence spending for NATO which has declined to 1.9%.
In the recent times, relations between Turkey and Russia has strengthened and Russia has left no stone unturned to grab the opportunity to strike this defence deal with Turkey to benefit as it is suffering from a sanctioned economy. In 2016, Russian President Vladmir Putin during his trip to Turkey agreed to revive a suspended natural-gas suspended project. In fact, Gazprom which is the largest natural gas company in Russia has already commenced construction of the pipeline. In addition, Russia has also ended the sanctions that it levied on Turkey after Turkey downed a Russian Su-24 bomber as it crossed Turkish airspace from Syria.
In March 2017, President Tayyip Erdogan requested Russian leader's Vladimir Putin's cooperation over military operations in Syria, to enable Turkey to create a border "safe zone" free of Islamic State and the Kurdish YPG militia. This is a great respite as the much to the chagrin of Turkey, the United States has supported the Kurds that Turkey views as terrorists.
Russia also agreed to build the Ayukku nuclear power plant for Turkey which is a $20 billion worth deal. Turkey has for years aspired to join the European Union but its efforts have gone in vain. Turkey therefore, sees hope in the China-Russia led Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). In fact, Turkey would be chairing the Energy Club of the SCO in 2017.
But one of the major reasons why Turkey chose Russian missile defence system as Russia agreed to jointly produce the second of the missile defence system. Turkey has good reasons to choose Russian air and missile defence system as it has already argued before that many NATO countries are using Russian weapon systems. Moreover, following an attempted coup in Turkey last year which Ankara suspects was initiated by the United States to overthrow the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey is looking for new friends in the international system.
Both Russia and Turkey are collaborating on bringing negotiation sessions between Syrian government and the rebels and this was despite the fact that Turkey and Syria were previously fighting opposite sides. Russia and Turkey have conducted joint naval drills in 2017 in the Black Sea. In fact, the US and NATO Patriot batteries stationed in Turkey made Iran suspicious of Turkey and its intentions and Tehran criticised Turkey for this move. However, a missile defence system from Russia, a country with whom Iran shares good relations and also a country that has played crucial role in the Iranian nuclear negotiation process, is least likely to be a threat to Iran. This is even more crucial as Iran and Turkey are trying their best to improve their relations.
This is not for the first time that a NATO country has sought for Russian missile defence system. Greece too has the Russian S-300 missile defence system. In 2015, the country was also in negotiation with Russia to avail of missiles for the S-300 anti-missile system. In fact, there is a growing military alliance between Greece and Russia also. This is worth mentioning as Greece and Turkey are at loggerheads with each other over the territorial dispute concerning the Aegian. Russia may opt to become a mediator between the two countries to solve the dispute and create a stronger alliance along with Turkey and Greece- two NATO countries.
Also, for Turkey whose neighbours share good relations with Russia, Ankara will surely gain from a strengthened relation with Russia especially as Turkey probably expects not much help from the United States. In fact as Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute writes, for Turkey "to have served in the NATO commands is now seen by Turkish officers as a ticket to prison, not promotion."
The Russian Turkey relations are no doubt burgeoning and with US lawmakers seeking to withhold the sale of US F-35 Joint Strike Fighters to Turkey, Russian fighter jets may also find new openings in Turkey.
At the moment Turkey has become a Trojan Horse- but it is unclear whether it is a Trojan Horse for Russia or for the United States.

Ultra Prostate Formula supports your prostate with cutting-edge extracts from saw palmetto, nettle root, and lycopene and more. These extracts can help protect against excess estrogen levels, promote healthy prostate size and structure, support healthy urinary patterns and flow and encourage a healthy inflammatory response in the prostate.
The prostate gland is intimately involved in the health of any man. But as men reach middle age about 50% will suffer from enlarged prostate . Although often benign in nature, this enlargement can impact urinary patterns. Supporting healthy, comfortable urination and inhibiting prostate-related inflammation are therefore essential parts of maintaining prostate health for any man.
The next-generation prostate health formula in Ultra Prostate Formula contains a wide range of ingredients to promote healthy prostate function and support normal urine flow. Botanical extracts like saw palmetto, nettle root, and lycopene make Ultra Prostate Formula the most comprehensive prostate health supplement on the market.
Prostate cells are also sensitive to estrogen's effects [2-4], why Ultra Prostate Formula also contains powerful ingredients to address the effects of estrogen on the aging prostate.
As men age, more testosterone hormone begins to convert to estrogen hormone. But prostate cells can be sensitive to the effects of increased estrogen levels in the male body [2-4]. Therefore, Ultra Prostate Formula can help address the issues related to higher estrogen levels on the aging prostate. Enterolactone can help to support vulnerable prostate cells against the surplus of estrogen [5-7]. Stinging and Dwarf nettle root extracts also play a role in supporting prostate cells against a surplus of estrogen in the male body [8-9].
Researchers reported that lycopene, a carotenoid found in tomatoes, can diminish oxidative stress in prostate tissue prevent DNA damage and help diminish inflammatory signaling . Graminex® Flower Pollen Extract™ found in Ultra Prostate Formula can also help to regulate inflammatory reactions [11-13]. Finally, Saw Palmetto CO2 extract plays a role to support normal urinary flow and can help to promote a healthy inflammatory response [14-17].
Extracts from saw palmetto, nettle root, pygeum, flower pollen and lycopene found in Ultra Prostate Formula can help protect against excess estrogen, promote healthy prostate size and structure, support healthy urinary patterns and flow and encourage healthy inflammatory response in the prostate.

Тим Стормс (; род. 1972) — американский певец и композитор. Дважды внесён в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса с формулировками «Самая низкая нота, произведенная человеком» и «Самый широкий вокальный диапазон».

Биография
Родился 28 августа 1972 года в городе Талса, штат Оклахома, но вырос в городе Ватерлоо, штат Индиана.

После окончания школы, вернулся в Оклахому, где начал исполнять христианскую музыку. С тех пор Стормс появлялся в некоторых музыкальных коллективах — Freedom, Vocal Union, AVB (Acapella Vocal Band), Acappella, Rescue. Также пел в городе Брэнсон, штат Миссури, в коллективе 50's at the Hop, даже три года подряд получая здесь звание «Певец года»; позднее попал в городской Зал Славы (Branson's Entertainers Hall of Fame). В 2006 году Тим Стормс работал в труппе театра Pierce Arrow Theater.

Много гастролировал за пределами США — побывал в Бразилии, Франции, Швейцарии, Ямайке, Фиджи и других местах. В 2012 году, после прослушивания в Санкт-Петербургском камерном хоре (Россия), он был выбран компанией Decca Records для записи четырёх песен с этим хором.

Рекорды

Тим Стормс внесён в Книгу рекордов Гиннеса за самый низкий звук, производимый человеком, что было подтверждено соответствующим сертификатом 2002 года. А в 2006 году он был внесён в Книгу рекордов за самый широкий вокальный диапазон для мужчины. В 2008 году Стормс перекрыл оба своих достижения: рекорд низкого звука составил  а ширина голосового диапазона — 10 октав.

С годами голос Стормса становится все ниже, и в 2012 году он вновь установил рекорд самой низкой ноты, производимой человеком — это нота соль  с частотой  — на восемь октав ниже, чем самая низкая соль на фортепиано. Данный звук находится вне границ человеческого восприятия звука и рекорд фиксировался специальными акустическими приборами — в живой природе звук такой частоты могут слышать слоны. Ширина голосового диапазона по состоянию на начало 2017 года составляет 13 октав.

sounds like healthcare problems will be solved.

Learn the rules of selling your goods.
Q: I asked a local antiques dealer to come to my house and make me an offer on some old furniture and china. He bought several things, and I later heard that he sold one of them at auction for a fabulous sum -- many times what he paid me.
When I complained to him about it and asked for a share of his profit, he refused, saying that I seemed pleased with the price he offered me at the time. Was this right?
Legally? Probably. You didn't invite him to your home to do a written appraisal of your goods, which would have legally obligated him to research your antiques and tell you their fair market value. You accepted his offer without duress and were free to get an appraisal or solicit offers from other dealers.
But did he act ethically? No, regardless of whether he knew at the time just how valuable your item was. If he discovered its true worth later (but before putting it up for auction), an ethical dealer would have contacted you to discuss what he had learned -- not offering to return your merchandise, but to share with you some portion of the future profit.
An ethical dealer thrives on positive feedback and referrals from satisfied customers, developing a reputation for fairness in both buying and selling. But this dealer is a sharpshooter who apparently doesn't care.
A corollary issue: Does an amateur antiques hunter who spots a rare, severely underpriced item at a private garage sale or estate sale have an ethical obligation to inform the seller of its true worth? No, but I have heard of people who do just that out of consideration for the seller, offering to pay much more than the price on the item -- but still less than full retail.

Learning how to locate and use sources, and after that cite them properly, is an endeavor that lots of new students. University work can be very tough, there are several subjects with many topics, and it becomes hard to keep tabs on it. To start, it's unfortunate a very good number of students lack the ideal abilities and knowledge of writing an annotated bibliography.

Writing Annotated Bibliography – Dead or Alive?

The fruitfulness in things is not in what is lacking in them, but in what they have
On September 3, 2014 May 15, 2021 By RidzerdIn Anthroposophy
Another important quality is the "yea saying" sense. This can be developed in one who in all things has an eye for the good, beautiful, and purposeful aspects of life, and not, primarily, for the blameworthy, ugly and contradictory. In Persian poetry there is a beautiful legend about Christ, which illustrates the meaning of this quality. A dead dog is lying on the road. Among the passersby is Christ. All the others turn away from the ugly sight; only Christ pauses and speaks admiringly of the animal's beautiful teeth. It is possible to look at things in this way, and he who earnestly seeks for it may find in all things, even the most repulsive, something worthy of acknowledgment. The fruitfulness in things is not in what is lacking in them, but in what they have.

Somehow - St Patrick's Day, Earth Day, Easter, working and stuff made me forget about this pack.
There are 14 tasks to explore and a great Aussie book by a great Aussie author - Mem Fox.
This is a fabulous book to find out about Australian food and our capital cities.
These pack contains planning tools, interactive notebook pages and writing prompts.

Interpretacija Svetega pisma v Cerkvi (izvirno italijansko L'interpretazione della Bibbia nella Chiesa) je dokument Rimskokatoliške Cerkve), ki ga je leta 1993 izdala Papeška biblična komisija, ki je tedaj delovala pod vodstvom kardinala Josepha Ratzingerja, poznejšega papeža Benedikta XVI.

Okrožnica se ukvarja z vprašanjem preučevanja in razlaganja Svetega pisma (tako v zgodovini kot z današnjimi znanstvenimi metodami) in pomenom le-tega v sodobni Cerkvi in družbi.

V zbirki Cerkveni dokumenti je to delo izšlo leta 2000 kot 87. zvezek (kratica CD 87).

This is worth your time to watch. Well, we know there is no love lost between the two countries. I'm surprised they ever open the border. India-Pakistan Border NIGHTLY Closing Ceremony. Both countries have nukes, and both countries have come close to war a number of times. If they do, it'll be a different ballgame for the ENTIRE region.
The Wagah border is the only road linking India and Pakistan. And every night, the border is closed with a most unusual ceremony. Only 156 seconds long, it is one of the strangest things I've ever seen.
I received this link and just thought everyone would enjoy this. It is so typical. They do love a show.


The name "Shih-Tzu" means lion dog in Chinese and they recieved the name because of their long, flowing mane-like coat. The Shih-Tzu is a sturdy, lively, toy dog with a long flowing double coat. They have a distinctivively arrogant carriage with head well up and tail curved over the back. They may display an arrogant personality, but are actually playful and gentle. Shih-Tzus adapt well to any family situation and will enjoy a cuddle in your lap, doing tricks, or fetching a tennis ball. Shih-Tzus are an intelligent dog who will make a good family addition. Despite their small size the Shih Tzu is a confident and dignified breed.
Coat: Long, dence, not curly with a good undercoat.
Temperament: Shih-Tzues are gentle, loyal, proud.
Care and Exercise: Daily grooming is essential for the Shih-Tzu. Bathing once a month. Clipping of matting on feet. Basic training when puppy is young. Minimal exercise is needed, but they will love to play outdoors.
Training: Shih-Tzus may be obstinate but patience and consistency will help over come the problem and achieve a reasonable level of training.
Living Environment: Apartment is adequate provided they recieve some type of exercise. An owner of Shih-Tzu should be a consistent leader who desire an active, curious breed.
History: Shih-Tzus may have originated from a cross between the Tibetan Mountain Dog and the Pekingese. They were a favored dog of the Emperor and is portrayed in Chinese paintings. They were first imported to England in the 1930's. Then after World War II they made their way to the United States by Military officers going home. It wasn't until 1969 that the AKC recognized the breed.


Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is not going to Pakistan to watch the Indo-Pak cricket series. ?There are no plans for the PM to visit Pakistan for any of the cricket matches,? said External Affairs Ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is not going to Pakistan to watch the Indo-Pak cricket series. "There are no plans for the PM to visit Pakistan for any of the cricket matches," said External Affairs Ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna.
Sources in the PMO also said there was no "cricket-specific" or fresh invitation from Islamabad, other than the one that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf extended to Singh in New York in September 2004.
The PM had accepted the invitation in principle but no date or time was put to it.The clarification from official quarters came against the backdrop of reports quoting Pakistan foreign office spokesperson Tasneed Aslam as saying that Singh has accepted the invitation to watch a match.


NBC Washington brought us up to date at the 11 PM report last night (May 30) on the bad reviews problem, with this report by Susan Hogan and Meredith Royster.
The newscast reports that a new federal law prohibits businesses from requiring consumers to sign "non-disparagement" clauses, prohibiting giving negative reviews.
Techdirt had reported on the law in December 2016, here. The anecdote about DC United trying to prohibit people from writing about them and trying control social media presence entirely is very disturbing. I had been to one DC United at RF Kennedy Stadium game in July 2014 and had not heard of this. However, video of big league sporting events might run into copyright issues.
The Fort Worth, TX Star Telegram has a similar story here.
But consumers can still be liable for legal defamation or libel, for giving false information. In the U.S., the burden of proof of a statement's falsity falls on the plaintiff (Trump wants to change that).
There was a case in Utah where a consumer was "fined" $3500 for disparagement. A court ruled that the bill could not be collected, but it stayed on the consumer's credit report, although it would sound to me that the consumer could have the credit reporting agencies remove it.

Yessica Rosselli Amuruz Dulanto (Lima, 18 de agosto de 1987) es una abogada y política peruana. Es congresista de la república para el periodo 2021-2026, por Lima en representación del partido Avanza País.

Biografía

Estudió derecho en la Universidad de Lima, egresando en 2015. También ha realizado una diplomatura internacional en Derecho Corporativo y una maestría de Finanzas y Derecho Corporativo en la ESAN.

Ha trabajado como gerente legal en la Universidad Politécnica Amazónica SAC, la Escuela de Cine y Artes Visuales de Lima SAC y RAG Holding SAC. Desde el año 2015 está vinculada a la educación en el sector privado.

Vida personal
El 4 de enero de 2021 informó que se había contagiado de COVID-19, por lo que, según las medidas sanitarias vigentes, inició el tratamiento y aislamiento correspondiente. Posteriormente, Latina reveló que la congresista había celebrado Año Nuevo en Punta Cana, y difundieron imágenes de la legisladora acompañada de otras personas sin respetar las medidas de bioseguridad.

Trayectoria política

Congresista

Postuló en las elecciones parlamentarias de 2021 al Congreso de la República del Perú por el partido Avanza País logrando un escaño.

Resultados electorales

Polémicas

En agosto de 2021, durante la pandemia de COVID-19 en Perú, se supo que la congresista Amuruz celebró su cumpleaños en un hotel del distrito limeño de San Borja, en un evento donde, según las imágenes difundidas por la prensa peruana, no se respetaron las medidas sanitarias para evitar la difusión del virus SARS-CoV-2. Amuruz alegó que acudió a la celebración organizada por amistades para así «reactivar la economía», pidiendo, además, disculpas por lo ocurrido. La Comisión de Ética Parlamentaria del Congreso inició una investigación, que archivó en diciembre declarando la denuncia improcedente.

El 19 de noviembre de 2021 presentó un proyecto de ley sobre el depósito de la CTS para los trabajadores del régimen 728, correspondiente al periodo comprendido entre mayo del 2014 y octubre del 2015, que posteriormente se supo que la exposición de motivos y el análisis de costo y beneficio habían sido plagiados de otro proyecto presentado con anterioridad por el congresista Daniel Oseda Yucra del FREPAP.

El 22 de noviembre, en el marco del Día del Músico, la congresista invitó a varias agrupaciones musicales al Palacio Legislativo, donde otorgó una serie de condecoraciones a los invitados, entre los cuales estaba la orquesta Combinación de La Habana. Este grupo salsero apoyó a la parlamentaria durante la campaña electoral y dos de sus integrantes tienen denuncias por violencia de género. Además, según Caretas, esta orquesta había participado en la fiesta de cumpleaños del pasado agosto por el que la congresista venía siendo investigada, hecho que Amuruz negó y solicitó la correspondiente aclaración por parte de la revista.

Q: Change title of JQuery DatePicker I'm looking to change the title of my JQuery DatePicker because it is displaying the wrong format for Spanish. It is saying "agosto 2015" instead of "Agosto de 2015". Is there a way I can do that?

Thanks in advance!

A: One way to do this would be to use the monthNames option in the jQuery DatePicker to change the name of each month. So for instance you would change "agosto" to "Agosto de".
Example:
$( ".selector" ).datepicker({
    monthNames: [ "Enero de", "Febrero de", ... , "Diciembre de" ]
});

A: You can insert de after the month:
$(".ui-datepicker-month").after(" de");

A: Download and include the language pack in your page, then make your adjustments you want, something like
datepicker.regional['es'] = {
    closeText: 'Cerrar',
    prevText: '<Ant',
    nextText: 'Sig>',
    currentText: 'Hoy',
    monthNames: ['Enero de','Febrero de','Marzo de','Abril de','Mayo de','Junio de',
    'Julio de','Agosto de','Septiembre de','Octubre de','Noviembre de','Diciembre de'],
    monthNamesShort: ['ene','feb','mar','abr','may','jun',
    'jul','ago','sep','oct','nov','dic'],
    dayNames: ['domingo','lunes','martes','miércoles','jueves','viernes','sábado'],
    dayNamesShort: ['dom','lun','mar','mié','jue','vie','sáb'],
    dayNamesMin: ['D','L','M','X','J','V','S'],
    weekHeader: 'Sm',
    dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
    firstDay: 1,
    isRTL: false,
    showMonthAfterYear: false,
    yearSuffix: ''};
datepicker.setDefaults(datepicker.regional['es']);

Dreamwalkers Band rehearsed Sunday afternoon with the goal of introducing and arranging new material. While we are primarily an original band, we like to play and sing covers that we love as well. Today we devoted the rehearsal to some additional material and just having fun with songs we love. Three "new" original songs and one "new" cover were worked on. The reasons I put the word new in quotes is that the songs are only new to the band. Two of the songs, Magnetic North and Beyond The Gulf were written by me some time ago, and Time To Let Your Sun Shine was the first collaboration between Tony Sheppard and myself. The songs are very cool and we are beginning to get the vibe needed to bring them out into the world. It's almost like having children. The songs have a gestation period, are born, have an infancy, toddlerhood, child time, adolescence, then eventually become adults, able to function. I love the developmental way of looking at the process of a song's evolution. Such great fun. I honor my bandmates, Jeff Hocker, Tony Sheppard, Culynn Murdock, and Patrick Russini for supporting my songs. It looks like the album recording will get going again this week so watch out for it.

NIAC Condemns Arrest of "Happy" Youth
Civil RightsHuman RightsIranNIACPressPress Release
Washington, DC – National Iranian American Council (NIAC) released the following statement:
NIAC condemns Iranian authorities for arresting six youth and forcing them to repent on state television for producing a video in which they danced to the song "Happy."
This is a stunt aimed at generating media attention and maximum embarrassment for Iran. There are forces within Iran's government who want to keep the Iranian people isolated from the world. They have escalated human rights violations over the past eight months in an attempt to quash hopes for greater openness internally, and to try to block positive relations from being built externally. Now they are arresting kids for dancing to music videos and forcing them to confess on state TV.
The irony that the Iranian youth were arrested for dancing to a song called "Happy" seems to be lost on the Iranian authorities. The Iranian people cannot be forced to live in a world where enrichment is a right, but happiness is not.
Without Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to make incendiary statements to poison Iran's reputation internationally, hardliners are carrying out provocative acts like this one in a bid to cling to the status quo and keep Iran weak and isolated.
This latest incident comes just days after Rouhani publicly called for an end to restrictions against Internet communications in Iran, saying, "We must recognize our citizens' right to connect to the World Wide Web."
The Iranian government has a responsibility to uphold it commitments to international human rights obligations. President Rouhani must take action to uphold his commitments and not remain passive in face of these violations.

Q: How do I make a menu screen using Ursina Python? Usually I would make a function or an if statement, like this:
def home_screen():
     # code
     if condition:
         game()

def game():
    # code

home_screen()

or something like:
game = 1

if game == 1:
     # code for home screen
     if condition:
          game = 2

if game == 2:
    # code for game

if game == 3:
    # so on

The latter needs a global variable with a class, which is fine for me. However in Ursina, none of these work, either the update function stops on the former, or the color.red, color.blue, etc. stops working out of nowhere, or the second if statement just doesn't run. Does anyone have an alternative? I'm thinking of just making a home_screen.py file entirely but that won't do much good, and I'm not sure how that can be implemented anyway.
Edit: while loops also don't seem to work

A: Making a functional game menu is actually not that simple.
You could make a function that loads all the game models from a level, a function that shows a menu, and a final one that shows a loading screen.
Load a level :
def loadLevel():
  global loading_screen
  ground = Entity(model='quad', scale=10, y=-2, collider='box') # dummy entities
  player = FirstPersonController()
  player_model = Entity(model='player', parent=player)
  building = Entity(model='building', collider='box')
  destroy(loading_screen) # delete the loading screen when finished

Show the menu :
def showMenu():
  play = Button('Play', on_click=showLoadingScreen) # A play button that show the loading menu when clicked

Show the loading screen :
from direct.stdpy import thread # we need threading to load entities in the background (this is specific to ursina, standard threading wouldn't work)

def showLoadingScreen():
  global screen
  screen = Entity(model='quad', texture='loading_image')
  thread.start_new_thread(function=loadLevel, args='') # load entities in the background

Rest of the file :
from ursina import *

if __name__ == '__main__':
  app = Ursina()

  screen = None # for global statement
  showMenu()

  app.run()

Edit : a basic example is available here.

Авл Манлій Торкват Аттік () — римський полководець і політичний діяч з патриціанського роду Манліїв, консул 244 і 241 років до н. е. Учасник Першої Пунічної війни.

Авл Манлій належав до одного з найзнатніших патриціанських родів Риму. Манлії обіймали вищі посади в республіці, починаючи з 480 року до н. е., а свій розквіт пережили в IV столітті до н. е., першу і другу третини якого німецький антикознавець  назвав їх «героїчним століттям». Згідно з Капітолійськими фастами, у батька і діда Авла Манлія був преномен Тіт. На думку Мюнцера, Тіт-старший — це консул 299 року до н. е., а молодший сучасник Авла Тіт Манлій Торкват, теж син Тіта, онук Тіта, доводився йому швидше племінником, ніж братом.

Життєпис
Перші згадки про Авла Манлія в збережених джерелах належать до 247 році до н. е., коли він був обраний цензором. Його колегою був плебей Авл Атілій Калатін. У 244 році до н. е. Торкват Аттік обіймав посаду консула спільно з плебеєм Гаєм Семпроніем Блезом, для якого це був другий консулат. В цей час йшла перша війна Риму з Карфагеном; Блез і Торкват вели позиційну війну на Сицилії, в районі Панорму, проти карфагенського полководця Гамількара Барки. Які-небудь подробиці цих бойових дій невідомі: майже щодня відбувалися дрібні сутички, але масштабної битви, яка б вирішила результат війни, була неможлива. Це була війна на виснаження, яка в кінцевому підсумку виявилася більш вдалою для римлян.

У 241 році до н. е. Авл Манлій, ставши консулом вдруге, спільно з Квінтом Лутацієм Церконом вів війну проти фалісків — народу мешкавшому на південно-сході Етрурії, повсталого проти Риму. Це повстання було придушене усього за шість днів; 15 тисяч фалісків загинули, половина землі, яка належала їхній громаді відійшла Риму. Після повернення в Рим обидва консули були відзначені тріумфом за свої перемоги: Церкон урочисто в'їхав у місто 1 березня, а Торкват Аттик — трьома днями пізніше. Павло Оросій відносить цю війну до 238 році до н. е., приписуючи придушення повстання тодішнім консулам — Тиберію Семпронію Гракху і Публію Валерію Фальтону, але це, мабуть, помилка.

Пліній Старший у своїй «Природній історії» згадує примітну смерть якогось Авла Манлія. Цей патрицій раптово помер під час обіду, коли на стіл подавався пиріг. Існує ймовірність того, що мова йде саме про Торквата Аттіка. При цьому в історіографії вважається більш вірогідним варіантом консул 164 року до н. е.

-all fans swapped out for better performing/quieter units. fan guards swapped for better flow and to reduce noise.
-this machine HAD stepper motor dampers, but they were removed because they seemed to reduce the print quality. They can be included if you would like.
-Y carriage was replaced recently to get rid of bearing play. Unit is fully lubricated for the next owner.
in case its not your cup of tea. there is a small piece of the glass missing near one of the corners, it doesnt affect printing unless you're literally using every sq mm of the bed.
-Unit has 12v LED tape lighting, with a dimmer controller. I'm running both printer's lighting off the same PSU, so the new owner will need to arrange their own PSU for the lighting.
I generally use this machine for printing PETG and ninjaflex, and it does both very well. I can include my S3D profile for the new owner. As the title states, the printer is located in Canada, in Calgary Alberta. If you happen to be local, that would be great. If not, I can arrange shipping.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Intel Corp. here today expanded its legal assault against Broadcom Corp., charging the Irvine, Calif.-based company with patent infringement and misappropriation of trade secrets.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court of Delaware, also alleges that Broadcom is involved in a "carefully crafted plan" to base its business around Intel's communications-chip technology.
Intel is claiming that Broadcom has infringed upon a wide range of technologies, such as "smart networking products, motion picture decoding [chips], and even the packages which Broadcom uses to sell its chips," according to documents filed by the Santa Clara chip giant.
Intel is seeking unspecified monetary damages from Broadcom. Officials at Broadcom said it has not reviewed the suit, but the company also denied Intel's allegations.
The lawsuit follows Intel's move last March to file an injunction in the Superior Court of California against sev eral former employees from joining Broadcom, its rival in communications ICs. The ex-Intel employees were reportedly working on key projects within Intel's Level One Communications subsidiary, which supplies transceivers, hub ICs, and telecommunications chips. Intel acquired Level One last year for about $1.2 billion.
The former Intel employees were reportedly working on key switch-chip and Gigabit Ethernet transceiver products, which, in fact, are competitive with those from Broadcom. Still, Intel's actions last March mystified some industry observers.
Broadcom introduced its own line of switch-chip and Gigabit Ethernet transceiver products in 1998. In contrast, Intel rolled out a line of competing products only in recent weeks.
But Intel's new lawsuit maintains that Broadcom still misappropriated its trade secrets. Documents filed by Intel claimed that a May 25 order by the Superior Court said "there was probable cause to believe that Broadcom's highest management had misappropriated Intel tra de secrets under the pretense of 'employment interviews.'"
"When Intel discovered the misappropriation and confronted Broadcom demanding the return of its information, Broadcom attempted to conceal a set of notes detailing the misappropriated Intel trade secrets," the suit claims. "Despite Intel's repeated demands, Broadcom refused to return the information until ordered to do so."
According to the suit, Broadcom is now subject to a court-appointed, independent monitor to ensure that it complies with the court that it not misappropriate Intel's trade secrets. Broadcom was also ordered to provide Intel with various documents relating to Broadcom's misappropriation of Intel trade secrets.
The suit also claims that Broadcom infringed upon five patents: 4,975,830; 5,894,410; 5,134,478; 5,079,630; and 4,823,201. These patents deal with networking-chip products, decoding ICs, and packaging techniques, Intel said.

Father not allowed half-day leave to see depressed child, son ends life

Published on Aug 18, 2016 11:48 PM IST
ByPTI, Mumbai
The incident took place last week and the Maharashtra government has ordered an inquiry into it.
Sources in the Agriculture Department said in the afternoon of August 12, department joint secretary Rajesh Ghadge (posted at department office in Mantralaya in Mumbai) got a panic call from his son, who was suffering from depression, asking him to come home in Navi Mumbai as soon as possible, failing which he (the son) would end his life.
Panicked by the threat, Ghadge requested additional chief secretary (ACS) Bhagwan Sahay to let him go home early. But Sahay turned down his requests and made him work till regular office hours.
"Ghadge's 23-year-old son was desperately calling him to come back home and had threatened to commit suicide if he did not turn up," the source said.
"So Ghadge approached Sahay with a permission for a half day leave. Sahay, known for his whimsical ways not only denied the permission, but asked Ghadge to work as per the regular office hours," he added.
A distraught Ghadge was virtually on his knees as he got a second frantic call from his son. He once again approached Sahay pleading for mercy, but his pleas fell on deaf ears, the source said.
"All that he got to hear again from Sahay was a 'no'. At the end of the day, Ghadge's worst fears came true as he got the news from his home that his son had committed suicide," he said.
Speaking to reporters here, state Minister for Agriculture Pandurang Phundkar today said he has ordered a departmental inquiry into the incident.
"I have spoken to Ghadge and had also asked state chief secretary to order an inquiry into the incident," Phundkar said.
Following the directions, chief secretary Swadheen Kshatriya has ordered an inquiry into the entire episode.
The incident sparked outrage in the department, with officers and Ghadge's colleagues staging a demonstration today.
According to sources in the department, Ghadge is now contemplating applying for Voluntary Retirement.
The body was taken to Solapur, the native place of the Ghadge family, for the last rites. Other officers in the department rushed to meet Ghadge at his Solapur residence.
Efforts to contact Sahay did not yield results as he turned away media persons.

The Titus Brothers Contractors company have won a government contract in Peru to blast a tunnel through a mountain and connect two isolated railroad lines. The deadline is approaching, and the contractors have hit a literal wall: excessively hard rock which defies conventional blasting techniques. The company is under pressure to finish, or else the contract will default to their rivals, Blakeson & Grinder. Mr. Job Titus has heard of Tom Swift and Tom's giant cannon, which is used in protecting the Panama Canal, and wants to hire Tom to develop a special blasting powder to help them finish the excavation. Mr. Damon, Tom's very good friend, arrives in the middle of this conversation, and is unaware of the situation. By coincidence, Mr. Damon is invested in a business which procures cinchona bark from Peru, but production has all but ceased, prompting Mr. Damon to invite Tom to accompany him to Peru and discover the source of the problem. Tom, Mr. Damon and Mr. Titus (along with Koku, Tom's giant) embark for Peru. On the way, they encounter Professor Swyington Bumper, who is on a life-long quest to locate the lost city of Pelone.

(Summary by Mike Vendetti) Sinclair Lewis' George F. Babbitt is a complicated and conflicted character. When you think you have his next move figured out he surprises you. As you begin to like him, he does something to evoke the "what a rat" response. Male menopause wasn't a pre Great Depression term, but I would say George has all the symptoms. At a pudgy balding forty six he looks at his life, wife, family and business. He sees himself as a pretty successful business man, but when Tanis, the lonely widow has a leaky roof, he sees an opportunity for perhaps a more fulfilling relationship then he has at home. Add to Tanis a foray into radical politics, and we are about to whiteness an emotional and financial train wreck with Babbitt at the throttle. This is a long story, but well worth listening to. Human nature hasn't changed much in the last ninety years. Enjoy the novel, Mike Vendetti...

Upton Sinclair, born in 1878 was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American author. He wrote over 90 books in many genres. Best known for his muckraking novel, /the-jungle-by-upton-sinclair/ The Jungle, Sinclair also wrote adventure fiction. Many of these works were written under the pseudonym, Ensign Clark Fitch, U.S.N. A Prisoner of Morrow, published in 1898 when Sinclair was but 20 years old, is one of these efforts. The period for this work is the ten-week Spanish–American War which occurred in 1898. Revolts against Spanish rule had been prevalent for decades in Cuba and were closely watched by Americans. The main issue of the war was Cuban independence from Spain. The war was notable for a series of one-sided American naval and military victories and led to the downfall of Spain as a colonial power. Clif Faraday, a naval cadet, is the main character in this novel. Stationed on a gunboat off the Cuban island as part of the U. S. naval blockade, Clif survives a series of confrontations at sea and treacheries on land. He is captured while on the island during a mission and lands in a Cuban prison called Morro, renowned for its cru...

David Balfour, a lad of seventeen and newly orphaned, is directed to go and live with his rich uncle, the master of the estate of Shaws in the lowlands of Scotland near Edinburgh. His uncle, Ebenezer (as close a miser as Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge), is shocked to suddenly have his young relative descend on him and tries to rid himself of David with an arranged accident. Failing that, he pays the captain of a brig to kidnap David and sell him into slavery in Carolina. A collision in the fog brings onboard the brig a survivor, Alan Breck Stewart, who is carrying a dangerous amount of gold on his person. David warns him of a plan by the brig's captain and crew to overpower him and seize the money, and then finds himself fighting alongside Alan in a battle royale. By good fortune, Alan is handy with a sword and they have access to the firearms locker, and the pair so completely defeat the crew that barely enough hands remain to sail her. Limping to port, she is holed by rocks, and David finds himself a castaway. Being in Alan's presence continues to be a chancey business.

Welcome to Zoey's first birthday post! I'm sure you remember my friend Andy whom I introduced you to in my post about her and her work, and who took photos of Laelia's birthday for us. Well, we essentially did a little trade, and I took photos of her sweet daughter's birthday party! This was my first experience ever photograph-ing an event. I don't really consider myself a photographer–I don't know a lot of the technical stuff that goes behind it. I only somewhat understand how the camera works. BUT, I certainly know how to use photoshop and I'm definitely an image-maker, so I think it worked out well enough! I've discovered recently that I really love photography, and photo styling, I just didn't realize how much until I started blogging! It's probably needless to say, but I was in heaven shooting this party. Everywhere I looked there was an awesome frame to be made! Andy and her husband Danny, with the help of their family and friends, put a lot of effort into this special day for Zoey. I asked Andy a few questions so we can hear from her directly!
JDM: Where did your inspiration come from?
Andy: A lot of my inspiration for Zoey's party came from pretty things i found on pinterest. I knew I wanted to do a color theme, so I naturally just picked my, [I mean Zoey's? :) ] fave colors, the ones from her nursery. Pinterest has really changed the way I organize ideas and it was amazing to see how many of my pins came to life at her party! I thank all of the creative minds that are behind those great ideas—and the people that pinned them! :) Another huge inspiration was little Laelia's first birthday party. Shooting that party pushed me in the right direction in getting all those itty bitty details perfected. You (Jesyka!) and I have so many similar visions, it was so exciting to see those live at Laelia's party, then re-create some of them in my own way.
JDM: Fun Fact: Zoey's birthday is May 30th, but her birthday party was held on June 25th. Please tell us about the reason behind the almost month long delay of Zoey's party.
JDM: Tell us about your food and the lovely dessert table!
Andy: The food was made by my parents, who own their own catering business. I can't think of a party that I had growing up that didn't have my mom's incredible food! So I knew I wanted the family grub for zoey's special day. All of the desserts were made by Zoey's grandma, aunties and her mama's friends. I wanted a smorgasbord of sweet delights and tapped my best friends for their signature treats and dared them to make a few delights I found on pinterest. I handmade the dessert flags and mini-confetti bunting on zoey's birthday cake.
As a party goer, I can tell you that the food was DELISH. Honestly, I ate at least two full plates of salad, and then half of my husband's. :) And for decorations, Andy also made the beautiful fabric strip bunting that hangs over her beloved aqua ruffled duvet cover, the fabric tassels hanging from the new deck awning (inspired by confetti system and Laelia's party), in addition to the aqua buntings that were strewn around the back yard.
Danny is also in a band, in addition to being a full time California fire-fighter and builder of decks, fences and sandboxes. They played a great set of music, from The Ting Tings and Weezer, to Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. There was even a very sweet sing-along of the sesame street version of Fiest's 1 2 3 4 (monsters walking across the floor), which made choke up (apparently, any version of this song will make me choke up! I become reminiscent of when my husband and I were in "courtship". He introduced me to Broken Social Scene, and we saw them twice when we first started dating…). Also, considering all the work Danny has done on his house for this party, the photo on the bottom left where he is smiling (at Zoey), reminds me of the Animal Collective song My Girls.
Okay, now I'm choking up again. Moving on!
All photos credited to Jesyka D'Itri Marés, except for the photo of "Zoey's special song", credited to Jena Harrison.

Памятник 600-летию Калуги — монумент в Калуге на улице Гагарина у моста через Оку, открытый 29 октября 1977 года в честь празднования 600-летия города. Памятник представляет собой 50-метровый пилон, у подножия которого расположена сфера и шесть стел, стоящих вдоль улицы Гагарина. На стелах запечатлены самые важные страницы из шестивековой истории Калуги.

История
Памятник выполнен по проекту скульптора Л. Е. Кербеля и архитекторов В. Н. Датюка, Е. И. Киреева, П. Т. Перминова.
Кирееву принадлежит проект титанового пилона с барельефом космонавта. Часть памятника с изображением Гагарина выполнена Калужской скульптурной фабрикой, барельеф Циолковского вырублен из мрамора на Мытищинском художественном заводе. Работу по созданию пяти бронзовых барельефов выполнил Лев Ефимович Кербель, а изготавливали (отливали) их на Ленинградском заводе «Монументскульптура» Художественного фонда РСФСР. Сфера была покрыта медным слоем, на это ушло около 700 килограммов металла. Поскольку основанием пилона служит сфера, за что среди горожан сооружение получило название «шарик».

Монумент был заложен в сентябре 1971 и открыт в октябре 1977 года.

В 2001 году произошла кража фрагментов металлической обшивки с памятника. Вандалы похитили медные листы, которыми была обшита сфера, с целью сдачи в пункт приёма цветных металлов. Сфера диаметром 11 метров была восстановлена менее драгоценным металлом. Хулиганов нашли, однако уголовное дело не возбуждалось, так как памятник был создан на народные средства, в связи с чем не удалось установить потерпевшую сторону.

На празднование 650-летия города местные власти решили восстановить первоначальный вид памятника: отремонтировать стелу и покрыть сферу медью. Средства на восстановление собирались в том числе через пожертвования горожан. 4 августа 2021 года реставрация была завершена и памятник вновь открыт для общественности.

В августе 2021 года монумент был дополнен цифровой подсветкой и аудио звуковым сопровождением. Первый пробный запуск проекта состоялся в день Государственного флага Российской Федерации.
