Caption: Sadie Cohen? Who's askin'? Jeremiah Johnson, gentleman caller. Your radio show inspires me. Go on. You have a siren's voice, and a mermaid's face. Would you join me on a date? Go wash my car! Yes, ma'am. Pick me up at 8.
Caption: Listen up, people! I'm just one person. The airlines have set a new bar for efficiency. They are charging captive passengers for water and coffee. It's genius. How can we compete? Can we charge for bathroom time, straws, napkins, silverware … Ooh, oxygen! Sort of exciting to see him inspired.
Caption: … charge extra for people to wear shoes, create a tax on spilled drinks, double-charge for napkins. Boring, you're not a government entity, it's been done. I give up. I concede. I've got nothing. Maybe I don't belong as a businessman. Maybe I should just turn over the keys to the place to the customers ... They can make their own drinks and become experts and run their own coffee houses. Or I could charge them for making their own drinks and call this a training ground! Witness the return of a muse.
Caption: I've got to make an offering to the cheapskate muse. What's that got to do with me? You understand women. What could I do to bring back my goddess of inspiration? That's nice. What's nice? Goddess of inspiration. You mind if I use that line on this hottie I met when I was trolling for broads at the bus station? This is not helping! No, it is. Don't sell yourself short. HOJ.
Caption: Rudy Park Enterprises is proud to announce its own Sadie Cohen has been selected as most obnoxious and caustic radio host of the year. Speech, speech!!! You're too kind. Obviously, every girl dreams of getting this kind of recognition. I'm well aware it's customary to thank everyone who made this moment possible. It's true. I might not have won if it weren't for the lifeless jerks imbeciles who listen to the show and write in with their stupid email questions. But you are all beneath contempt. The only person I want to thank is Rudy Park. Your shallow and insipid existence inspired m every single day. Can I tweet that?
Caption: Do you know why I love Star Trek, minion? We called me in at 2am to talk about this? It's because it's a lefty-liberal utopia. They've eliminated scarcity. There's all the food and shelter anyone could ever want, so there's no more need for capitalism. They flat-out say there's no such concept as money in their society. And yet we've seen them buy things. With money. Plenty of times. It's absolute proof that people never truly have to live up to the ideals they espouse, and that's always been an inspiration to me. Now get back out there and remember, the customer is always right!* Service with a smile.* Providing a quality product is its own reward.* You're a very good man.*
Caption: Did you feel that, Randy? I think I was an earthquake. Tough to tell, little buddy. I had just come up with an idea for a new book in my "Randy's MAN-uals" series. The working title would be "The Back-Hair Formula: How to Ensure Your Inner Beast is a Lion, Not a Woolly Mammoth" I'll have to shorten that, of course. The earth often shakes when I get a good idea. Well, my mind was completely blank at the time, so ... pretty sure it was an earthquake.
Caption: What's your favorite planet, Randy? There is only one answer, little buddy. There is only one planet full of lush, green forests and beautiful, windswept ocean vistas … all of which are natural aphrodisiacs that inspire lovers, philosophers and poets. You know, Pandora is not a real planet. I'm talking about earth, you ... do you ever go outside?
Caption: You've inspired me to write my own memoirs. Scurrilous accusation. I deny culpability. I refuse to be blamed for a book that will glamorize the useless lifestyle of an internet-addicted slacker … a book whose mere existence is evidence society has drowned to death in a toxic swill of Doritos, iPads and online "relationships." Can I use that as the foreword?!?! You kids get off my planet.

Caption: I finally figured out who you copy. What do you mean "who I copy"? You know, the guy whose mannerisms, style and speech inspire you so much you copy them What are you saying? We all do that. Right? I mean, the best way to find who you are is to find who you want to be and copy that. ... Right? You're a child, not a man. See what I mean? Spoken just like Captain Kirk. Is this why you have a picture of Don Knotts in your wallet?

Values guide thinking and action. They encourage individual commitment and collective action. Our underlying values determine the quality of the work that we do.
Siren is guided by a broad spectrum of conservation, individual and organizational values:
The diversity of plant and animal life on Earth is necessary for human physical and mental well-being. Meeting the material needs of people is undermined through loss of wildlife. People will, when all their material needs are met, still want, and indeed need, to be able to experience nature.
It is our moral duty to prevent human-driven extinctions of other creatures on this planet.
The conservation of species diversity is critical to maintaining natural life-support systems, including water cleansing, pollination of food crops, and soil formation and is essential for our economic and social development.
Siren believes in the welfare of animals. Protecting the lives of individual animals is important, except where this conflicts with the preservation of another wild species' existence.
Protecting nature does not have to conflict with human rights to adequate food, water and shelter, and to basic care and protection. We respect and aim to facilitate the work of humanitarian organizations such as Oxfam. Often, the goals of such organizations are served through nature conservation.
However, acting to protect nature will entail compromise, since the material demands of over six billion humans, especially those in the developed world, are often in conflict with those of plant and animal species.
The existence of cultures and local traditions is important and that this diversity also requires protection. We aim to be supportive of these except where they interfere with our first principles of preventing extinctions and looking after the welfare of human and other living creatures.
Nature conservation for intellectual, aesthetic and spiritual purposes is necessary for maintenance of cultural diversity and preservation of the human spirit
We can make a difference. Siren works within the guidelines of the Charity Commission to generate as much output as possible with as little institutional bureaucracy as possible.
We believe in partnership and not in the promotion of one organization over another, and in particular not in the promotion of individuals over action.
We place a high value on individual commitment, co-operation, compassion, openness, respect, fairness, integrity and humour both in our working practices and in life in general

Q: iOS: Keep UITableView at the same position when reloadData I'm running into an annoying problem. I'm doing a messaging app. In the message page, when the user scrolls to the top, as soon as the topmost cell becomes visible, it will load more messages to display. Because at the time of loading more messages, the position of the table view is at the top (content offset is 0), after done loading messages, I call reloadData and iOS tries to maintain the offset which consequentially scrolls to the top of the table view again and triggers another load. This is like an infinite loop until there is no more message to load.
I tried to call scrollToRow right after reloadData but no luck.
So anything that can keep the table view at the same position (i.e. if before loading, message "a" is at the top, after loading, message "a" still at the top of the screen) after calling reloadData will work for me.
Spent several hours on this so I'll really appreciate any help. Thanks

A: I don't know if this help you but you can try this while reloading-
if let indexPaths = tableView.indexPathsForVisibleRows {
    tableView.reloadRows(at: indexPaths, with: .none)
} else {
    tableView.reloadData()
}

A: Don't call reloadData every time when you need to insert just one row; it's bad practice.
UITableView has the method:
func insertRows(at indexPaths: [IndexPath],
           with animation: UITableViewRowAnimation)

...and since iOS 11, also:
func performBatchUpdates(_ updates: (() -> Void)?,
              completion: ((Bool) -> Void)? = nil)

...which allow you to perform multiple insert, delete, reload, and move operations as a group.

A: With modern swift you can make it in "one line only" with ternary:
(tableView.indexPathsForVisibleRows)?.isEmpty ?? true ? tableView.reloadData() : tableView.reloadRows(at: tableView.indexPathsForVisibleRows!, with: .none)

A: First update your modelArray and then call reloadData() method of TableView.
It seems you have to implement pagination. Use this method for api call, it will call api once reached at last cell.
func scrollViewDidEndDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView, willDecelerate decelerate: Bool) {
    //Bottom Refresh
    if scrollView == yourTableView {
        if ((scrollView.contentOffset.y + scrollView.frame.size.height) >= scrollView.contentSize.height) {
            if !isNewDataLoading {
                isNewDataLoading = true
                apiCall()
            }
        }
    }
}

Make sure you set isNewDataLoading to false once API has responded successfully.

Q: Shortest distance to the cardinalspline spline curve from the outside point in c++ I need to find shortest distance from any given point outside of the curve to cardinalspline curve
 Can I have any reference link or any equations can help me on this.
following is the reference link the way i want to implement
Thanks
nikhil

A: I'm not entirely sure of what you want. Maybe this can help. It will give you the analytical form f(x,y) = 0 of the cardinal spline from your original set of (xi, y(xi)). You can easily find the shortest distance between a point p(x,y) and the spline studying the first two derivatives of sqrt((px-fx)² + (py-fy)²). Hope this helps.

Good Day Blogging Friends….My first card for 2013 is all about LOVE.
I thought….. Nancy how are you going to make 2013 a turning point for you in the Crafting blogosphere and in your personal life?
And the word LOVE kept coming to mind.
Whether it's at home, at work, in the neighborhood, sending a card, buying flowers, baking for someone …it all comes back to LOVE.
and keep me focused on what is really important.
If that doesn't scream LOVE than nothing else does!
to get one or more of my cards Published in a Magazine.
This also screams LOVE because I love making cards!
Thanks for letting me share that with you in hopes to keep me more accountable!
Now onto some details on today's card which is the real reason you stopped in!
I started of the New Year playing with two of my favorite challenge sites.
Freshly Made sketches and CR84FN.
Both these sites have great inspiration and always help get my MOJO going!
I took a nail file to my cardstock after I ran it through the SU Lattice Embossing folder so that I would get the texture I wanted.
The paper I was using has a white center so when you rub on it with a nail file it comes off. LOVE this technique!!!
Did the same thing with the smaller heart around it's edges…it almost looks as if I took a white pen to it and outlined it, but I really didn't.
There are a lot of layers on the front panels of this card!

Hi Nancy! I was reading another blog this morning that was talking about not making resolutions but picking one word to follow for the year. You picked a great one! I think my word might be 'retirement". LOL! I would so love to quit working and make cards all day. Wonderful card! Love the colors and layout. Wishing you a very Happy New year and luck on your resolutions!

Brygida, from Poland, exudes an air of professionalism, polish, and practicality.
A librarian in a local town library, she reigns over her world of books with enviable skill and ease. This has been her community of sorts.
Not long ago, she joined our luncheon for international wives. It was her second time to participate, and she has developed some solid friendships with a few others in the group.
But what she shared later blew me away.
"Having lived in the U.S. for 17 years and as a proud owner of U.S. citizenship, I never considered myself an international wife. Yet, yesterday at the gathering, I felt connected in a very special way.…"
Brygida's story is one that plays over again and again in our modern world. So many people now grow up in one culture but move to and adopt another. And, if they're on the move regularly, finding a community to fit into can be a challenge.
I think of such people in terms of the Venn diagram.
Venn diagrams were always a favorite of mine in early math. I loved the concept behind them. Two or more different sets coming together, overlapping and producing something new.
Little did I know this would provide one of the metaphors for my life.
See, I love intersections of life, of perspectives, of energy that happen when people from different walks of life, especially different cultures, come together.
I revel in the dynamism of such connections. The sparks. The greater masterpiece which emerges.
We can study the behavior, customs and values of a people group and discover so much. We can compare what we learn with our own set of cultural characteristics. As we do this, we are engaging in cross-cultural study.
Cross-cultural comparisons prove valuable in understanding life on a continuum. One culture is more individualistic in nature (Anglo-European American), while another is communal, or group (Japanese, for example). These factors play into behavior in a myriad of seen and unseen ways.
The caveat in cross-cultural comparison and contrast is you need to be cautious about judgment and stereotyping.
Beware of the Stereotype Phantom!
What do I mean? Simply, "All Americans are abc, all Japanese are xyz. All Muslims are 123, and all Hindus are 789." Stereotype lumping can lead us into dangerous territory, both as we consume the news and interact with others from a different cultural background than our own.
We look at the rest of the world through our own cultural lens. We need to recognize and adjust for that fact. Becoming truly objective is near impossible. But adjusting our understanding to take into account our cultural biases is, indeed, possible.
While there is value in cross-cultural work, for me, the thrilling part has always been the overlap in the Venn diagram. It is the intercultural outcome of two or more cultures coming together, producing something entirely new.
Over the years, I've been blessed to be a cultivator of intercultural opportunities, making connections and community. No question, I delight in creating and encouraging people from vastly different backgrounds, who otherwise might not have gotten a chance to meet, to connect and develop relationships.
This was an acknowledgement of responsibility. She came to realize her status, as a resident, put her in the position of being a welcomer.
"I learned the lesson. With those International Wives, the time might be short. But I am privileged to live here for good; they come and go," she reflected.
This was also an acknowledgement of belonging.
Brygida found a new place of belonging, separate from her professional world of books and cataloguing systems.
And I am so glad she did!


Five Oak Green is a village near Tonbridge, Kent in the parish of Capel. It was a centre for hop growing and in the 19th century "The Rose and crown" public house was converted to a hospital to treat the many hop pickers who resided in the village and its surroundings in the late summer. The pub was renamed "The Little Hoppers Hospital" by a London priest who added to the pub's sign "No beer sold here" so no one should have any doubt of its changed role. It is in the civil parish of Capel.
We here at Luxury Artificial Lawns are approved suppliers and installers of Artificial Grass – leading the way in the supply of competitively priced, high-quality artificial grass in Five Oak Green, Kent.

Patek Philippe Celebrates its 175th Anniversary
Mark Bernardo
May 1, 2014, marks an important milestone in the Swiss watch industry. It is 175 years ago to the day that Patek Philippe — perhaps the world's most prestigious Swiss watch brand, and the last family-owned watch company in Geneva — was founded.
In a letter released to the press, Patek Philippe president Thierry Stern states:
"Today, May 1, 2014, I am happy to announce the 175th anniversary of Patek Philippe, and the imminent launch of a special timeline at patek.com to showcase our history – the longest uninterrupted history of any watch brand. The timeline will be continuously enriched throughout the year, with fascinating stories from our past and present.
"We believe that one of the secrets of our success has been our independence (we are the last family-owned watch manufacture in Geneva). Over the years, this freedom has allowed us to be truly creative, innovative, and pioneering – as demonstrated in our impressive repertoire of patents, our unique designs, and our dedication to rare handcrafts.
"My great grandfather, Charles Stern, and his brother Jean, took the reins of Patek Philippe in 1932. It was Charles' son – my grandfather, Henri Stern -and my father, Philippe, who inspired my passion to stay true to the vision of the company's founders, and to keep creating and producing the best watches in the world.
"I feel proud to be at the company's helm during this most important historical milestone. And I look forward to maintaining the long-standing spirit of creativity and innovation for which the company is known.
"May I take this opportunity to thank you for sharing our passion for Patek Philippe."
Patek Philippe president Thierry Stern
To mark its 175th anniversary year, Patek Philippe unveiled a new, larger booth (below) at this year's Baselworld watch fair in March, and launched a handful of new timepieces, including the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph (Ref. 5990/1A-001; you can read a review of it here) and Annual Calendar Calendar Chronograph (Ref. 5960/1A-001). Patek told WatchTime at the fair that more new watches (including, possibly, some special anniversary editions?) will be launched in the fall.

Congratulations to Mr Stern and his family at Patek Philippe, a true horological behemoth and one of the great watch makers around.
It is great to see that Patek has remained a family business. Alas, this is a rarity nowadays.
Thank you for the article.

There cannot be any doubt about the fact that Patek Philippe is the most prestigious watch brand in the entire world!
Thank you for informing us about Patek Philippe's 175th Anniversary!

I noticed that in this article Patek is family owned and the last business as such in Switzerland. My question is: what about Gallet? Are they not still family owned, and have been since 1466. Someone please clarify for me. Congratulations to Patek! Truly a great manufacture.
Hi Mike
You're absolutely right about Gallet. According to my understanding they are still a family owned business. Indeed, their website confirms this on The Gallet Dynasty section

5 Outrageous Reactions to Orlando Shooting /
5 Outrageous Reactions to Orlando Shooting
At least 50 people lost their lives Sunday in a mass shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub, marking the worst mass shooting by a lone gunman in United States history at a time when the country is more divided than ever on the issues of terrorism, gun control and LGBT rights. Amid an intense and fiery presidential election in which the above issues are central to the agenda of each candidate, teleSUR looks at five reactions to the Orlando shooting that should, put simply, never have happened.
1. Donald Trump's "I Told You So" Moment
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_original","fid":"612843","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"246","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"538"}}]]
Just a few hours after the Orlando nightclub massacre, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump posted a series of tweets commenting on the attack in what many see as political exploitation of one of the U.S.'s biggest ever tragedies.
In one tweet he wrote: "Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance." Early on Sunday, when very few facts were known about the shooting, he boasted on Twitter that the incident proved he had been right about his warnings over "radical Islamic terrorism," before reiterating his call for a ban on all Muslims from entering the United States.
After a press conference by President Barack Obama on the incident, Trump said Obama is weak and should resign. He ripped Obama apart for his refusal to equate the Islamic State group and other extremist groups as part representative of the religion of Islam. "In his remarks today, President Obama disgracefully refused to even say the words 'Radical Islam.' For that reason alone, he should step down," Trump said, adding that, "if Hillary Clinton, after this attack, still cannot say the two words 'Radical Islam' she should get out of this race for the presidency."
2. Texas Politician's "They Had It Coming" Bible Verse
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_original","fid":"612845","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"325","style":"width: 598px; height: 360px;","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"540"}}]]
The office of Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, a Republican and evangelical Christian, deleted a tweet Sunday which was sent out shortly after the deadly attack on a gay nightclub in Florida.
"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows," read the Bible verse sent out by Patrick on his official Twitter account a few hours after the shooting that left at least 50 dead.
Patrick is known for his strong objection to same-sex marriage and years of fighting against LGBT rights.
But the disturbing tweet did not go unnoticed. "You are a disgrace to your state in this time of national sorrow. You should resign," prominent LGBT activist George Takei wrote on Twitter. The Texas Democratic Party called on Patrick to apologize immediately. "Make this right. We are better than this," it said in a statement.
3. Turkish Paper Gloating That "Perverts Homosexuals" Killed
4. U.S. Republicans: What Gays?!
The Orlando shooter's father told reporters that his son Omar Mateen became angry when he witnessed two men kissing in Miami few months ago. Despite the possible homophobic motive behind the attack, U.S. Republican lawmakers sent out "thoughts and prayers" messages on social media and made statements that seemed to completely avoid any mention of the LGBT community in the U.S. or make any reference to the fact that a popular gay bar was targeted. Think Progress website had a long list of tweets from more than a dozen U.S. Congress members to show how there was no mention of the LGBT community. The trend was also highlighted by several other outlets in the country.
5. U.S. Republicans Blame Islam, Not Guns
Another disturbing trend by Republicans was the fact that almost all of them chose to exclusively blame the attack on "radical Islam" and home-grown "Islamist extremism" while ignoring the fact that the shooter had easy access to large guns and explosives due to loose gun control laws in the U.S. Most Republican lawmakers reject any gun-control laws due to financial interests with weapon manufacturers and lobbyists. In fact the same gun used by Omar Mateen, an AR-35 assault rifle, was used in the infamous Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on Dec. 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children aged between 6 and 7 years old. The same gun was also used in the July 20, 2012 mass shooting which took place at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, during a midnight screening of the film The Dark Knight Rises, killing 12 people. Many on social media said government officials should not use the Muslim background of the shooter to ignore and dismiss the debate on gun-control in the United States. "Yet Another Mass Shooting, but because a Muslim is involved certain people will prefer to ban Muslims from America instead of guns," Eliot Higgins, British investigative journalist and researcher said in a tweet Sunday.


It was debut week for Lee Brice's third studio album and Dustin Lynch's second project, which landed on the Country album chart at No. 1 and 2, respectively.
The title track "I Don't Dance" propelled Brice's Curb outing to sales of 38.5K. Fans were singing "yep yep" along with Broken Bow's Lynch, who moved 31K of Where It's At.
Broken Bow's digital team is making inroads with Country consumers; Lynch's album sales were 58 percent digital, and labelmate Jason Aldean holds the top 2 spots on the Country tracks chart with "Burnin' It Down" (78K) and new track "Two Night Town" (53K).
To reiterate the slide in album sales, during the same week last year, Keith Urban held the No. 1 position with 98K. This week the No. 1 album sold about 60K fewer units.
Looking at the overall albums chart, Lecrae debuts this week at the top with 88K.
Releasing new albums this week are Tim McGraw and George Strait (live). Later this month brings the latest from Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum and Blake Shelton.
Meghan Trainor's "It's All About That Bass" booms atop the overall tracks chart, selling 312K and nearing the 2 million mark.

Gov. Phil Scott signs directive to reopen schools Sept. 8
MONTPELIER, Vt. – At a press conference Tuesday, July 28, Gov. Phil Scott addressed school reopening and announced he will issue an executive order to set Tuesday, Sept. 8 as the universal start date for student instruction.
This action gives schools an additional one to two weeks to prepare staff and test the systems they've built over the summer to provide the best possible start for students when they return.
"School districts, school boards, teachers, and administrators should take this extra time to make sure they, and their hybrid and online solutions, are ready and effective so we can deliver for our children and build confidence in the public education system's ability to be flexible and responsive – because faith in the system is key to returning to in-person instruction," said Gov. Scott.
Gov. Scott was joined by Education Secretary Dan French, Health Commissioner Mark Levine, M.D., and Rebecca Bell M.D., MPH, FAAP, pediatric critical care physician at UVM Children's Hospital and the president of Vermont's chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics to discuss school reopening plans and address health considerations that inform the recommendations for in-person instruction.
The group emphasized the benefits of in-person instruction for children, especially those 10 and under, and the safety of doing so based on the state's health guidance and Vermont's low disease prevalence. While the governor encouraged districts to work towards expanding the number of in-person instruction days, he recognized that many are beginning with a hybrid approach, which will give those districts time to build confidence in their systems.
Commissioner Levine acknowledged the uncertainty of this virus has created concerns and questions for teachers, administrators and parents, and noted, "As health commissioner, when I weigh the health risks against the educational, developmental, social, and emotional risks for young children, I come to the same conclusion as the pediatricians and education experts: now is the right time for Vermont to restart in-person learning."
On Friday, July 31, Gov. Scott signed the directive officially setting Tuesday, Sept. 8 as the universal reopening date for Vermont schools. The Secretary of Education will have oversight and authority in the implementation of the order and local school officials and governing bodies are required to consult with, and abide by, the direction of the Secretary of Education.

Heavily criticized Accessibility Act garners praise following redraft
Changes to the proposed law will see stiffer penalties for businesses, organizations and governments who don't comply with standards and now includes people with learning disabilities.
Bill 59 aims to ensure Nova Scotia is more accessible to those with disabilities

Stiffer penalties and stronger language are two of the changes announced Monday to Nova Scotia's Accessibility Act after officials redrafted the proposed law following heavy criticism in the aftermath of its introduction last fall.
The legislation is designed to ensure Nova Scotia is more accessible to those who are physically or intellectually disabled. It could affect everything from building design, to how disabled people are treated in the workplace, to public transportation and education.
The act now contains fines of $250,000 for those who don't comply with standards, a steep increase from $25,000. It also states standards need to be "achieved," rather than "improved." People with learning disabilities are also included in the new law.
It's hoped Bill 59 could be passed by the Nova Scotia Legislature this week.
'It's much better'
The nuts and bolts of the new standards — such as what physical changes will be necessary to provide barrier-free access to buildings — will be developed by various committees and approved by an accessibility advisory board. At least a majority of the board must be made up by people with disabilities.
The changes to Bill 59, particularly the fixed 2030 deadline for Nova Scotia businesses, organizations and government offices to comply with standards, makes Gerry Post happy.
"I'm very please at the outcome of the bill," said Post, who uses a wheelchair. "It's much better, we worked closely with the government to get these improvements made."
Post is a member of the committee overseeing the development of the new act. He said he was impressed by the detailed implementation plan set for the first year, "so we know how to achieve that 2030 target. It's only 13 years, it's not that far and there's a lot of work to be done."
Nova Scotia Justice Minister Diana Whalen said the government was 'blessed' to have the feedback it received from groups anxious to improve the province's Accessibility Act. (Andrew Vaughan/The Canadian Press)
The proposed legislation is now similar to that of Ontario and Manitoba.
Post also lauded the provincial government for stepping up efforts to improve the process of creating the new act after a barrage of criticism by the groups it was supposed to help.
It went before the legislature's law amendments committee in Halifax early in March where more than two dozen people spoke.
'Pass it this week'
Justice Minister Diana Whalen said Monday the community spoke with a united voice.
"There was a tremendous effort … to bring everyone under the same tent. I'd say we were blessed."
Post said the time for discussion about the Accessibility Act has passed and it's time to "pass it this week. ASAP."
He said he does not believe it will be held up in the House as all three parties have supported improvements to the bill.

Lamborghini celebrates 50th with exclusive Veneno
The limited-edition Veneno costs 3 million euros ($3.9 million) plus local taxes. All three are sold.
Nick Gibbs is UK correspondent for Automotive News Europe.
Lamborghini stole the limelight from McLaren and Ferrari rivals on Monday by celebrating its 50th anniversary with an exclusive hypercar of which just three will be built.
Called Veneno, it costs 3 million euros ($3.9 million) plus local taxes. All three are sold.
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann told journalists the car was "fastest, most powerful road Lamborghini we've ever built."
The mid-mounted V-12 engine makes 750hp and propels the two-seater to 100km/h (62 mph) in just 2.8 seconds. Top speed is 355 km/h (221 mph).
The Veneno is based on the Aventador but is lighter than the carbon fiber supercar by 125kg (275 pounds).
Its designer Filippo Perini told Automotive News Europe it was much more purposeful than Lamborghini's last exclusive hypercar, the Reventon. "That was more design driven, this car is much more driven by functionality," he said.
Aerodynamics plays a huge part in the look, he said. "We started with a long discussion with our aerodynamics guys and designed the car around the under floor," Perini said.
The resulting ground-effect, together with the adjustable rear wing, gives the car 500kg of down force at the rear, he said.
The cars were sold very early on the design process, according to Perini. "We were thinking to build a 1:4 scale model to prepare the potential customer, totally useless," he said.
The sales happened so early in fact that homologation was done on the basis of the customers' location. Two are in the United States, and one wanted European homologation. The first car will be delivered in July, with the other two in September and October. Lamborghini will keep a fourth, the Geneva show car.
The VW-owned brand had to stick very closely to the Aventador to avoid have to crash test the car. "The windscreen, the doors, the dashboard, you can't touch them," said Perini.
The advantage was the adaptability of the supercar's carbon fiber tub. "The Aventador is a fantastic base because you can do a lot of derivations starting from the monocoque base," he said. He didn't rule out further special versions built off the car.
Inspiration for the design came from Le Mans racing cars, but was it also designed to impress as well as stick to a race track. Perini said: "We were looking for the 'wow' effect. You need it; you cannot arrive in Geneva with something polite."


New for 2018, the Lofi with positive camber is the spring-loaded sister of the LoFi Rocker. Riders have been asking for a high-tuned camber board, so we took the Bamboo Single Barrel HotRods and true twin shape of the LoFi Rocker, and we loaded it up with the power and response that only positive camber provides. Peaks, parks and perfect dawn corduroy, the LoFi Camber is ready to charge.
Underwrap fundamentals for everyday adventures.
With performance driven by the simplified version of Rome"s Asym UnderWrap construction, the Flare brings Rome"s signature flex and power combination to a full spectrum riders. Three points of under-wrapping conection allows the Flare to smoothly flex side to side, while still laying down direct edge-to-edge response. The Flare asym highback is shaped to the contours of a women"s calf to simultaneously deliver heelside control and unmatched comfort. The result is essential all-mountain performance for mellow cruiser days and more technical sessions.

Pilgrims of the Apostleship of Prayer of Toledo to accomplish a prayer vigil in the Apparition Chapel
About a thousand pilgrims of the Apostleship of Prayer of Toledo - more than 500 young people, fifty priests and over a hundred families, mostly young - are in the Shrine of Fatima since yesterday, in the context of its 25th Pilgrimage.
As it is a Jubilee pilgrimage, the group has offered to the Shrine of Fatima a monstrance, which will be used tonight, Sunday, in a vigil in the Apparitions Chapel.
The group that comes from Spain, as every year at Carnival, comes from different autonomous communities, all coordinated by the Diocese of Toledo
They arrive on Thursday by bus to Leiria and leave on pilgrimage to Fatima on the next day and arrive on Saturday for their first Eucharist. On Sunday, all day long, they participate in different celebrations; in the evening, after the Eucharist, they will attend a Vigil in the Apparitions Chapel. On Monday, they have tours; the pilgrimage ends on Tuesday with a big celebration, presided this year by the Bishop of San Sebastian, Mgr. José Ignacio Munilla.
The pilgrims are mostly young people who are organized in groups, always assisted by a priest. Many of them feel that "it is in Fatima that we have discover the true meaning of pilgrimage, often a true miracle," said one of the coordinators of this pilgrimage, Fr Francisco Vidal Carretero, to the press office this Sunday night.
This initiative started 25 years ago in Talaverna La Reina, a small town that is part of the Diocese of Toledo.
"When we started this initiative, only three buses were coming; today among young people and families, we are nearly a thousand or more which represents a big change," the priest said recognizing that despite the "progressive secularization of Spanish society, we still have many young people who come many times with a very weak faith and awaken here to something much more solid and mature."
Today the pilgrimage is no longer a diocesan one; it is instead a national pilgrimage and beyond the young pilgrims, it also joins families.

Multi-Million Research Grant Will Revolutionise Future Communication Networks
Global demand for broadband communications continues to increase substantially year on year. A major factor contributing to this demand is the growing number of fixed and mobile broadband users, data-hungry applications like video, and an ever-increasing number of network-connected everyday objects and machines. It is forecast that by 2020 the number of network-connected devices will reach 1,000 times the world's population. A University of Bristol-led research project that aims to implement radically new network models has been awarded £6M funding by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
The project 'Towards Ultimate Convergence of All Networks' (TOUCAN), led by Dimitra Simeonidou, Professor of High Performance Networks in Bristol's Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, hopes to achieve ultimate network convergence through new technology agnostic architecture that targets a wide range of applications and end users. This architecture will facilitate optimal interconnection of any network technology domains, networked devices and data sets with high flexibility, resource and energy efficiency, and will aim to satisfy the full range of Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) requirements.
To achieve its goals TOUCAN will rely on Software Defined Networking (SDN) principles. The project will drastically evolve SDN to incorporate fundamentally new technology-specific interfacing and resource description followed by infrastructure resource abstraction, virtualisation and programmability. These features will enable any network technology and device to become "TOUCAN-ready", which means that the devices are programmable and interoperable. This is the foundation upon which the technology-agnostic feature of the TOUCAN architecture will be fulfilled and so ultimate seamless end-to-end convergence will be achieved.
Professor Dimitra Simeonidou, Head of the High Performance Networks Laboratory, said: "TOUCAN will revolutionise the way we build and operate communication networks in a similar way that computer networks and more recently mobile terminals were transformed from platform-oriented to platform-agnostic solutions, eg through Linux and Android, and will drive towards commoditisation of network devices. In that sense, TOUCAN will deliver a "network technology USB" which will make any networked technology and device discoverable, describable and interoperable within any network infrastructure. Any new technology generation, regardless of whether it is wired or wireless, will connect to the TOUCAN network in a plug-and-play fashion.
"Our research will open up a new network innovation eco-system, which will allow for the first time applications to compose, deploy and program their own virtual network infrastructures, as part of the service delivery mechanism to optimally support their specific and very diverse requirements. Such an environment will be able to adapt to the challenging and unpredictable infrastructure and service evolution scenarios, meeting future application requirements."
The five-year project will bring together an internationally renowned team of academics, allowing in depth technical exploration based on holistic and radical thinking in order to achieve the project goals.
The project partners include: Professor Dimitra Simeonidou and Professor Mark Beach-University of Bristol; Professor Harald Haas-University of Edinburgh; Professor Steve McLaughlin-Heriot-Watt University; Professor David Hutchison-Lancaster University.
The TOUCAN consortium includes external partners, Bristol City Council; Broadcom UK Ltd; BT; JANET UK; NEC; Plextek; Samsung; Technology Strategy Board, who collectively are committing in excess of £3.6M to the project. Another £2.4M will be contributed by the participating institution by means of PhD studentships and research equipment funding bringing the total budget of TOUCAN to £12M.

Q: Dell Windows 10 computer recovery boots with X: drive but no C: drive or user data I have a Dell Inspiron 7373 2-in-1 which fails to boot. The built in diagnostics which is accessed by FN-Power key says it has a failed hardrive.  Most of the data is synced to the cloud - but there are a few changes which have not made it.
I can start the windows 10 advanced recovery and get to the CMD prompt where I find I am in X:. I can see the X:\USERS\Public but nothing else.
Is the X: drive just a renamed boot drive where the user data is stored or is it some special partition? Is there anyway to use this X: drive to look for my Un-synched files?
Is my actual user data hidden or is it on a different drive and lost?
I could not get any windows 10 OS GUI running the only boot process which I could get to work is access to the CMD prompt.
The system prompts for a recovery key for many of the operations none of which work.  I retrieved the key online from the windows Live acccount.

A: The X: drive is the drive letter usually given to the WinPE OS which is a type of limited "live" version of Windows that is also used for the recovery environment.
From the perspective of the recovery environment, X: is the main drive but it is not related to your actual OS and data in any way.
Typically WinPE will mount your actual OS to C: or D: where you can perform recovery procedures.
You said, "The system prompts for a recovery key for many of the operations..." so the main OS is encrypted by BitLocker.
Because of this it is impossible to mount the drive or perform any recovery on the drive without BitLocker accepting your recovery key. If you can't get a recovery key to work you can't access the drive. This could be because you have the wrong recovery key, or the drive is corrupt due to damage.
Drive encryption adds a huge complication to recovering data from a failing drive.

A: I've had this issue several times using cheap laptop hard drives. The hard drive fails to boot the OS and the disk is probably damaged, but somehow it can still do basic disk operations.
I bought an internal hard drive to usb adapter , and was able to read and copy the hard drive's contents from another computer using the same OS. They cost around $20, well worth it, just make sure the hardware is compatible with your machine. Good luck.

A: X: drive is for the recovery environment of windows. The C: drive contains the main OS and your personal files. The X: drive contains files to boot to the recovery environment and the recovery tools. they are kept separate so even if the main os (which in this case is Windows 10) is corrupted and cannot boot, the X: partition will allow it to boot to the recovery mode and you can do recovery of the OS from there. as for the failed hard disk, just leave it it won't work. it's too damaged already so just get a new disk or new pc and just accept the data loss. hope this helps!

A: The X: drive is not the problem but your backup. It's the emergency OS as long as your main OS (on c: ?) doesn't work...
This being said you need to fix the main OS:

*

*start PC and switch to command prompt

*c:

*cd \windows\system32\config

*md backup

*copy *.* backup

*cd regback

*dir

*//check if DEFAULT, SAM, SECURITY, ... have size > 0

*//if yes, proceed

*copy *.* ..

*//it says "overwrite"

*A

*exit //close command prompt

*continue to Windows 10

Elected officials are stealing from us and treating us like crap. Look at all the wars. Helicopters and drones are now flying over our heads. The US Military is conducting drills to practice using machine guns to fire on Americans in America [embedded video] and [another post with videos].
How are elected officials serving us if bankers get bigger and bigger bonuses, and we the people get the short end of the stick?
Do we need all these wars, bombing, domestic spying, and police state in the US?
Why is America being disarmed as police checkpoints are being set up and officials are arming themselves with fully automatic machine gun assault weapons?
Why are we putting up with this?
People are getting sick, getting fat, males' penises are getting more dysfunctional, humans are going sterile, autism is at an all time high, cancers are exploding, tumors are more prevalent, and people are dying.
This finding has serious ramifications for crop biotechnology and its regulation, but possibly even greater ones for consumers and farmers. This is because there are clear indications that this viral gene (called Gene VI) might not be safe for human consumption. It also may disturb the normal functioning of crops, including their natural pest resistance.
Andrew J. McDonald, Corrupt Insider for Judge?
I wish to ask that Andrew J. McDonald not be confirmed as a Connecticut Justice to the Connecticut Judicial Branch.
I wish that McDonald be investigated for receiving funds, either he himself, or his significant other, for political favors.
I have witnessed Andrew McDonald representing the interests of lawyers, police, and the operators of the judiciary when he was a legislator. It shows where his loyalties lie, and they aren't with the people. If McDonald did not act when citizens testified about police brutality and judicial misconduct, and then asks no questions, that is telling.
I believe that in an interview I did with Michael Nowacki of New Canaan, which is on youtube.com seems to accuse McDonald, and/or his significant other, taking 100's of thousands of dollars, or even millions in no-bid contracts for favors for the Connecticut Executive Branch and/or the current Connecticut Governor.
If an individual can pander to special interests and meander around each of the 3 branches, this political insider will slime the Connecticut Government further as being perceived as being even sleazier.
Should anyone become a judge who is being appointed as a political favor? Should the appointment then be considered some sort of bribe or future expectation of ruling for those who helped with the nomination?
Please act for the people of Connecticut. I was run out of Connecticut against my will because the Executive Branch, a Connecticut State Police Liaison to the police saw to it I was arrested, imprisoned, and then kicked out of Connecticut for having proposed Civilian Oversight of Police legislation. So, please consider the content of this letter for action and relief.

CT State Police International Free Speech Prosecutors?
For those with the line item constitution wrecking pen, would you be willing to give up your 1st and 4th Amendment rights to deny the rest of America their 2nd?
According to James Corbett of the Corbett Report youtube channel, the 3D Gun Printing story, the Connecticut State Police are looking at prosecuting, internationally, anyone, especially on Facebook, who questions their official story of what happened at the Sandy Hook, Newtown Connecticut Shooting.
I watched 3 or 4 Connecticut State Troopers commit perjury. I just did a word search on, "Connecticut State Police murder suicide incidents" and this came up #1. This is #2. The best might be #17. So why should the Connecticut State Police be trusted with guns, dating, and marriage?
Those who are bi-polar, who are on psychotropic drugs, or who are addicted to narcotics or alcohol are useful idiots for police. It is about revenue collection, property confiscation, skimming drug dealer profits, and getting kickbacks from lawyers and judges for putting citizens through the system. Crime is farmed, not solved.
I reported and named names of the teens who were in "The Diaper Gang" who were robbing citizens and beating their victims with baseball bats for months. The crimes went "unsolved" by Stafford Springs, Connecticut, State and town police.
The teens came out of the bushes and were going to beat me with bats. I had chased one of the drug dealers out of my house when he chased me in my house with his gun drawn so they thought I might have a gun, I didn't, but their thinking I did, meant I didn't get my head beaten in with a bat. Police refused to investigate these teens as they had a business relationship with the teen thugs. Informants were told who the gun and small business owners were on the secret police target lists. They were constantly up to no good, so that is why I believe the Sandy Hook Newtown, Connecticut, schoolyard shooting smells funny.
I don't have a gun anymore so I don't hike or take walks as I did when I had a pistol permit. Dangerous idiots who are on Big Pharma dangerous drugs are being used to abuse you at your tax dollar expense.
