INTRO: How many of you are tired today? This could perhaps be called the "TIRED generation!" We are running to and fro from early morning to late night, there are so many things to do and yet not enough time to do them all! Mankind used to go to bed when the sun set, now with electricity we stay up late at night, we even have TV shows called "Late Night" and "Late Late Night" for those who really like to stay up late! Yet, we still have to get up early for work, no wonder we are all tired!
In many surveys people say that they wish they had more free time or more time off, they wish they could just sit around and do nothing for a while and sleep in.
Yet, even when we get time off we fill it with so many things to do that often when we come back from vacations we are just as tired, if not more so, than when we left!
PERHAPS the greatest problem however is not the tiredness of body but our tired souls; we have grown tired as a nation over evil in our land, over corruption and terrorism left unchecked, over the constant themes of poverty and disease and brutality. We have grown weary of the unchanging face of sin, of evildoers getting away with their deeds; we have become cynics about nearly everything from politics, to jobs; and even religion!
Our families suffer from a tiredness of soul, children grow up neglected or hurt from broken homes, parents try to fill their lives with business and extended work hours to make themselves believe they have something important to live for or to make more money ... teens don't have direction in their lives as they don't see anything to live for except materialism.
We are a tired nation, living in both physical and soulish exhaustion, but the good news is that God has an invitation: "COME AND REST!" This is first message in a new series entitled: "The Invitation from God" series. Such messages as "Come and see," "Come and Follow Me," "Come and Drink," "Come and Dine," and "Come and Inherit" coming up! God is quick to come an invite us to come to Him, He is the answer to our tiredness of soul!
PROP. SENT: The Bible teaches us that there is a rest for the soul even when life gets hectic, this rest is deep and refreshing and satisfies!
a. Jesus doesn't mess around with truth and what each soul needs, He simply declares that if you are to find "rest" for your soul there is only one place to get it ... not just from Him but in HIM!
b. Jesus identifies no other source for rest other than "IN Him."
a. They build big resort areas.
b. They use sports events.
c. They go on vacations.
d. They seek out philosophies.
e. They seek out strange and wild religions and meditation.
f. They seek out the occult.
g. They seek out pleasure from a variety of sins and immorality.
h. Yet nothing in this world has provided the rest for the soul except Jesus!
3. The soul can find no rest in the things of this world, it can only be found in Christ! An eternal soul needs something eternal to rest in.
a. If you are running around looking for relief from this world's burdens and trials you won't find it in this world.
b. If you are truly tired of running around trying to find rest for your heart and mind look no further, Jesus is here for you now and is making an invitation for you to come NOW to Him for real rest!
1. "All you who are weary and burdened ..." Well, that about covers everyone!!!
2. "... and I will give you rest!"
a. There is no question about what you receive when you come to Christ, it is rest!
b. Just so you don't get the wrong idea however, Christ is not offering a life without trials and difficulties, but he does offer security of the soul no matter how bad things get or how difficult things get!
c. This word translated "REST" in Greek is "anapausis" not "katapausis," thus it is better translated "RELIEF"... it is not therefore a life free from pain or struggle or sorrow, it is a security from being overwhelmed by life's struggles, and in this sense it is a rest from heaviness!
3. In Christ there is a security that cannot be found in this world.
a. As Christians we are not crippled or crushed by events that come and go in our life, even the most tragic of events cannot break our spirit when we abide in Christ.
c. Even the most perplexing events in life that can never be explained or understood cannot rob us of the rest we find in Christ!
4. In this world there is no rest like this!!!!
5. Just going to church and learning to recite the right prayers won't bring it either, you must set your soul on Christ!
6. Christ's offer here has no "maybe" in it, it is certain that if we trust in Christ our soul finds rest!
a. You do not have to go through life worn down in your heart; you can find a "relief" and peace in Christ.
b. While things in this world offer a temporary peace or some physical rest, nothing will satisfy your soul except God!
1. Jesus now explains the secret to finding real rest in Him, it is to exchange the yoke the world puts on us and instead put on Christ's yoke!
a. The secret to rest is not inactivity ... it is right activities!
b. Jesus didn't say "quit working" ... He said to put "His yoke" on, so we will head in the right direction and when it gets tough He can do the heavy work and pulling!
2. Jesus invites us to learn from Him. He was not inactive, but He sure wasn't overwhelmed either! He drew His strength and peace from His father and we are to draw ours from Him!
3. Jesus did not worry ... not once do we read that He was worried or anxious about anything!
a. In fact, worry only makes matters worse; it is not good for us!
c. Birds don't get up in the morning and worry about whether there will be enough worms that day!
d. How many dogs do you know that have had nervous breakdowns?!!! My dog Domino watched the news every night with me and she never once fretted over life!
e. Ever seen the animals in the forest call a meeting to see how they are all going to make it the next week?
a. How did He handle everyday life?
(1. He prayed and trusted His father for everything!
(2. He did whatever He could each day and did not fret over tomorrow.
(3. He focused His energy on relationships, not things.
(4. He looked each day for what He might give, not what he got!
(5. He valued spiritual realities far above the things of this world.
(6. He sought to forgive, to love, to be patient, to heal.
b. If we lived and patterned ourselves after Christ our life would be very restful!
1. Jesus clearly identifies the kind of rest He is speaking about: "for you will find rest for your souls."
a. It is not a rest from activity or planning, or hard work!
b. It is a rest for the soul amidst all the good and bad of life, all the activity and trials, the joy and the pain.
2. Jesus explains what He is like: "I am gentle and humble in heart" … this is how we are to pattern ourselves.
a. He is gentle in that He seeks to harm no one, He is not one to hurt or to condemn, His gentleness is demonstrated in how patient He is with sinners and saints who don't obey Him, and His patience is marvelous!
b. His humility puts others ahead of self ... He did not come to be served, but to serve others, this is hardly the mentality of the world because it is spiritual in essence and thus the world does not grasp it!
c. Rest cannot come if we don't pattern ourselves after Christ in these two ways!
d. People who are demanding and angry or who act superior to others and so have a demanding spirit are some of the most frustrated and tired people on earth!
3. We cannot escape a YOKE -- we WILL and must choose one!
a. What are you yoked to -- a career, a lifestyle, an organization – or Christ???
b. The only yoke that is not too heavy to bear is the one that is connected to Christ!
d. Those that walk with God never lose their way; they can't when they are yoked to Him!
4. In these last days the Bible says in Heb 12:26b-28a "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens." The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken--that is, created things -- so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful," do you know what is unshakeable to yoke yourself to? "His yoke is easy, his burden is light!" He is unshakable and His kingdom!
5. We do have a choice, a light burden or a heavy one! Only the fool chooses the heavy one -- so choose Christ, He invites you to "COME AND REST!" Do you want real rest, it is available, why not accept Christ's invitation?
CONCLUSION: There is a deeper rest than physical rest! You can be quite active and still find rest in Christ! People today are tired! There is an exhaustion of the soul that can only be refreshed IN Christ. Jesus' invitation is very clear, "come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest!" How tired are you, and have you discovered God's invitation to come and find real rest? The invitation is a good one!

How should nonprofit organizations be evaluated? You tell us!
Did you know that approximately 83% of the nonprofit organizations in the United States have operating budgets of less than $1 m?
These are the very organizations operating within your communities – providing free health care to the uninsured, taking up the slack where public education fails, feeding the hungry and homeless when no one else will, providing housing and support for abused women and children, enriching lives through the arts, providing legal assistance to those without a voice … and so much more.
These organizations provide the glue that holds our communities together in an increasingly fractured society.
But charity ranking systems, such as Charity Navigator, often base their ratings solely on "overhead" ratios – AND Charity Navigator only reviews 5,000 of the 1.1 million nonprofit organizations in the United States.
Yet well-intentioned individuals, wanting to make a difference, often rely on these systems when making decisions as to who will receive their donations.
The result? The big get bigger and the organizations doing the vital work of holding your own community together get lost in the shuffle.
I'm asking you to join the new "Supporters for Effective Community-Based Philanthropy" Facebook Group.
Then, read the document "Ready to Choose a Community-Based Organization to Support?" here.
Learn why overhead costs are a critical and always downplayed component of operating a nonprofit (imagine running your business without employees or supplies) and how a "one size fits all" doesn't apply to nonprofit organizations any more than it would apply to a business.
Then make your feedback known directly on the "Supporters for Effective Community-Based Philanthropy" Facebook page before April 30th.
I'm not on Facebook, so I'm going to make a comment here.
We do need better methods to evaluate nonprofits, and it's hard, because there's so much noise in the system when it comes to deciding if a nonprofit is actually fulfilling their mission.
What I think needs to happen is that nonprofits with a specific mission (such as domestic violence) across a given state or region need to come together and decide what would qualify success at meeting their mission. Is it less deaths related to domestic violence? Less reports to crisis line of domestic violence? What qualifies success? And then reach for that, together, instead of fighting for funding separately as usual.
Looking at the budget is not enough, it's true. Neither is throwing up your hands and saying you don't know. There are ways to define success, even if it's just in how many people you touch.
The size/percentage of overhead is no indication as to how effective the organization is. Unfortunately, an accurate, accepted measure of effectiveness is difficult to produce. In my opinion, volunteering with the organization is the most effective way a donor can make a personal determination as to the effectiveness and values of the nonprofit organization.


We are always focused on our customers: we are proud of always thinking in terms of what is best for the client; offering solutions that are not only theoretical but workable; and being responsible for leading the client along the path of success.
We take a facilitative approach – it's your business and you know it best. It will be your win. Our role is to help you succeed.


Consultancy and accountancy firm EY this week released a report called " Disrupting the disruptors " looking at digital entrepreneurship in the G20.
In it, EY grouped the G20 members into four, ranking them on how accommodating they are to digital entrepreneurship.
To do that, EY looked at four factors: access to finance, entrepreneurial culture, regulation and tax (called digital business environment in the report), education, and support (called digital knowledge base and ICT market).
For each category, EY gave countries a mark out of 10 and we've rounded up the ranking for entrepreneurial culture below.
EY doesn't reveal its exact methodology but makes clear in the report that a big factor is the number of patents generated by each country, rather than simply the number of new companies started up. This means it looks like EY is trying to measure entrepreneurship within existing companies — clever.

Q: Automatically go to next line in vim One frustrating behavior in vim is that when i move my cursor right or left (respectively "l" or "h)" and i am at the end or the beginning of the line, my cursor doesn't move to first column of next line or last column of previous line.
Is there a way to change this behavior ?

A: Put the following into your .vimrc:
set whichwrap+=<,>,[,]

A: You can use the whichwrap setting to make h and l wrap around the start and end of individual lines:
set whichwrap+=h,l

However, Vim's documentation recommends against this, probably because it could have unexpected side effects (like breaking plugins, or changing how common key mappings work).
As an alternative, you can do what what Matti Virkkunen recommended:
set whichwrap+=<,>,[,]

This leaves h and l with their default behavior, but allows the left and right arrow keys to wrap around lines. (This is what I do, and it works well.)
You might also want to take a look at the backspace setting, to control how Backspace, Delete, Control+W, and Control+U work in Insert mode. I set mine like this:
set backspace=indent,eol,start

That allows me to backspace over pretty much everything.
For more info, see these topics in the Vim help:
:help 'whichwrap
:help 'backspace

Benjamin Arthur McKee (Forestville, California, 7 de abril de 1985), más conocido como Ben McKee, es un músico estadounidense, mayormente conocido por ser el bajista de la banda de rock Imagine Dragons.

Primeros años
McKee se crio en Forestville, California, y se graduó de la preparatoria El Molino. Creció tocando la guitarra acústica y el violín, antes de elegir el bajo en el quinto grado. En la escuela secundaria, continuó el aprendizaje de la guitarra como miembro de un trío de jazz, lo que influyó en su decisión de asistir a Berklee College of Music. Mientras que en Berklee, McKee tocó, en una presentación, junto a los que serían sus futuros compañeros de banda, Wayne Sermon y Daniel Platzman.

Carrera

Imagine Dragons
En 2008, fue invitado por Wayne Sermon a unirse Imagine Dragons, una banda con sede en Las Vegas. McKee se retiró de su último semestre en el colegio Berklee para unirse a la banda, invitando a Daniel Platzman a tocar la batería; y así completando la alineación. La banda se trasladó a Las Vegas donde realizarían y perfeccionarían su arte, casi todas las noches, como un acto de salón. La banda procedió a ganar varios premios locales, incluyendo "Mejor CD de 2011" (Las Vegas SEVEN), "La Mejor Banda Local de Indie" (Las Vegas Weekly), "Las Vegas Newest Must See Live Act" (Las Vegas CityLife), y forjando así una trayectoria más positiva. En noviembre de 2011 firmaron con Interscope Records y comenzaron a trabajar con el productor Alex da Kid.

El álbum debut de la banda, Night Visions, fue un inesperado éxito. Alcanzó la segunda posición en la lista estadounidense Billboard 200 y recibió el Billboard Music Award al Mejor Álbum de Rock (2014). Individualmente "It´s Time" se convirtió en el primer sencillo lanzado, alcanzando el puesto número 15 de la lista de éxitos musicales Billboard Hot 100 y fue certificado multi-platino por la RIAA. El segundo sencillo "Radioactive" alcanzó a llegar al número 3 del Hot 100 y fue certificado diamante por la RIAA, convirtiéndose en la canción de rock más vendida en la historia de Nielsen SoundScan. El tercer sencillo "Demons" alcanzó el puesto #6 Hot 100 y fue certificado multiaplatino por la RIAA. Su álbum hizo el debut más alto para una nueva banda de rock en seis años (desde 2006) y su sencillo "Radioactive" estableció un nuevo récord por el tiempo más largo en lo alto de la lista Billboard Hot Rock con 23 semanas consecutivas. Los temas del álbum encabezaron las listas Billboard Rock Songs, Billboard Alternative Songs, y Billboard Pop Songs. Radiactive también fue nominado a dos premios Grammy, ganando el de Mejor Interpretación Rock.

En 2015, se lanza el segundo álbum de Imagine Dragons, Smoke + Mirrors alcanzando el número 1 en el Billboard 200, UK Albums Chart, y la lista de álbumes de Canadá. El mismo contenía los sencillos "I Bet My Life" y "Shots"

La banda ha contribuido con canciones para varias bandas sonoras de películas, incluyendo "Ready Aim Fire" de Iron Man 3, "Who We Are" para "Los juegos del hambre: En llamas" y "Battle Cry" para Transformers: la era de la extinción. Además, en septiembre de 2014, "Warriors" fue lanzado en colaboración con Riot Games, junto con un video musical animado en promoción del Campeonato Mundial de League of Legends.

Vida privada

Arresto
En los primeros años de la banda, McKee fue detenido en Las Vegas por desnudez pública, antes de abrir para la banda australiana The Temper Trap. El compañero de McKee, Dan Reynolds le rescató de la cárcel 15 minutos más tarde sobornando al centro de detención del sheriff con una copia firmada de uno de sus EPs. McKee habló sobre su detención en una entrevista de 2015 con la revista Billboard diciendo, "Hubo algunas malas decisiones que se toman. Las Vegas es un lugar loco".

Equipo

Amplificadores bajos
McKee toca casi exclusivamente las guitarras Sadowsky sin embargo, puede versele tocar bajos como de costumbre, Mike Lull T-4, así como "Fossil" Stambaugh con diseños musicales 'y diseños personalizados.

This is a simple and economic demonstration of the diffraction of light by a narrow opening, from which the wavelength of light can be determined.
The power of a class 2 laser is less than 1 mW. This is not harmful even if it is seen directly: the blink response gives adequate protection. Warning: cheap laser pointers have not been tested and cannot be relied upon to be Class 2.
Keeping the foil over a smooth plane surface, make a small circular hole in it by pressing the needle tip gently into the foil. The rectangular slit can be prepared by using two straight aluminium strips over transparent sticky tape.
a Arrange the source (laser), aluminium foil with hole, and graph sheet pasted on cardboard as a screen, so that they lie in a straight line. Support the stands with the clamp as shown in the below diagram.
b Switch on the source and make fine adjustments so that the aperture in the foil is illuminated evenly.
c Move the screen about 1 m from the aluminium foil, so that the diffraction pattern is within the graph sheet pasted on the screen.
The diffraction fringe pattern will be as shown above.
Note down the diameter of the first minimum, Y , with the help of graph sheet markings.
Note the distance between the foil and the screen, D.
Using a travelling microscope, measure the diameter of the hole or slit width used, X.
Calculate the wavelength of the light source, λ, using the formula λ = XY/ 2D.
Let S1S2 be the diameter of the hole, acting like secondary coherent sources.
Secondary wave fronts coming from these undergo superposition (interference), leading to bright and dark fringes on the screen.
The ray diagram is shown above.
MN is the path difference between S1P' & MP, where P is the centre of the first minimum and O is the centre of central maximum.
This is similar to the λ calculated by a diffraction grating experiment, at 653 nm.
Actual diffraction pattern recorded by 3.1 Mega pixel digital camera, in the dark room is shown above.
This experiment was submitted by Tukaram Shet, Senior Lecturer in Physics at CMRIT Bangalore.


Salamander's Beak Visor is a large after market helmet visor system that can fit any helmet you have. The Beak is the bigger version of the Revisor giving you more sun protection. The velcro stays put no matter what you put it through and the Beak can flip up and out of the way when you need it to.
Closed cell foam sandwiched by durable 600-denier poly-cloth.
The visors worked well and I would recommend them to others. However, the Velcro strip on my husband's visor peeled up at the ends. We were able to press it back down but it still has a tendency to loosen. The surface was properly prepared on both helmets. Friends we paddle with have the same visor and have also experienced the same issue. It seems the stiffness of the visor pulls the adhesive on the Velcro up.

Mobilize Secures $6M A Round
Sep 15, 2020, 18:08 ET
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobilize, the leader in "get stuff done" community software, announced that it has closed a $6 million A Round, led by Sorenson Ventures, to expand its go-to-market efforts. Mobilize is disrupting the decades-old community software space with an innovative offering that is focused on using online communities to drive meaningful outcomes in target vertical markets.
"Since I was Founding CEO at Jive Software over a decade ago, community software has been focused solely on 'engagement' as the primary driver. In this era, however, community must drive business goals - to be an aspirin, not a vitamin," said Dave Hersh, CEO. "By focusing on target vertical needs instead of 'one size fits all' community, we are able to connect the dots between engagement and business outcomes."
Mobilize got its start powering digital movements, which required the ability to achieve fast, clear and focused milestones through local groups and global conversations. It's the only online community platform that activates people around shared purpose, which is why it's well suited for use cases such as distributed sales organizations, non-profits, professional networks and associations.
"As a manufacturer with a network of retailers served by sales reps, we needed to find a 21st-century solution to reach more people, in more places, more often," said Bob Muenkel, Vice President Retail Engagement, Resident Home. "We chose Mobilize after researching several options. They offered the best suite of functionality, design and access to help us achieve best-in-class sales and training support in real-time at an affordable price."
Given the seismic shift towards online collaboration brought about by the pandemic, investors saw the value and need for Mobilize and its round was raised entirely over Zoom in mid-April. The round was led by Sorenson Capital with participation from Kickstart.
"Given COVID-19, companies are more reliant on their distributed base than ever," said Rob Rueckert, Partner at Sorenson Ventures. "We are thrilled to partner with Dave and Mobilize. We are convinced that Mobilize can become the new standard that organizations use to unite distributed audiences around driving clear business outcomes."

Simple Home Improvement Ideas that make a BIG impact!
Home/Homeownership, Mortgage, Mortgage Basics, mortgage prep, MortgageTips, News, Other/Simple Home Improvement Ideas that make a BIG impact!
There are countless ways to upgrade a home, and many people don't even know where to start when prioritizing home improvement projects. A good way to decide which home improvement projects will have the most impact is to take a look at your motivations for improving your home in the first place.
One of the best things that you can do to improve the overall look of your home is adding a fresh coat of paint. Fresh paint can make the exterior of your home inviting, and brighten the interior of your home as well. As compared to other home improvement options, fresh paint is one of the less expensive projects. If you are adding paint to the exterior of your home, it is also important to be thoughtful about the color you choose. A bright or unusual color may make your home stand out, but it could also be a turn off to potential buyers.
Another improvement that can entice buyers at first site is landscaping. This is more of a property improvement than a home improvement, but it can still make quite an impactful difference on the sales price of a home. Good landscaping will show buyers that a property has been well cared for, and it will draw them from the exterior to the interior. It is important to be strategic with landscaping to ensure that the front yard looks clear and clean, and includes a clear path to the door.
A fence can help a property's curb appeal, and helps with the property's privacy. It can also be a great asset for buyers who have pets or young children. Much like choosing a paint color, the type of fence that you choose to add is very important. Some fences, like chain link fences, may hurt the curb appeal of a home more than helping it. If a property has a chain link fence in the front yard, you may consider replacing it with a different type of fence before selling.
A new front door is consistently named as one of the home improvements that will "pay you back" at sale. It can be a fairly inexpensive investment (relative to other home improvement costs), and it is front and center when buyers visit your property. US News also noted that a new Garage door can offer an 85% return on investment. If your current garage door is working just fine, this improvement may not be on the top of your list, but don't overlook the power of garage improvement on your home as a whole!
This is another improvement can is fairy simple, but could be overlooked. Many buyers want a move-in ready home, an updated appliances can be a huge selling point. It may also be seen as a bonus if they had the expectation of purchasing new appliances after buying a home. If you don't have a budget available to replace all of your kitchen appliances, try to focus on the ones that are the most out of date, or the ones that stand out the most among the rest. Remember to make sure the new appliances match the others well! A uniform look is an important concept when it comes to staging your home for potential buyers.

Case No. 18-1077: Sara Jane Gustafson v. Tracey Bell and Shelly Towne
Filed Jul 24, 2019
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Cass County, James M. Richardson, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Potterfield, P.J., and Tabor and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Potterfield, P.J. (12 pages)
Sara Gustafson appeals from the district court's summary dismissal of her claims against Tracey Bell and Shelly Towne for defamation, abuse of process, malicious prosecution, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Gustafson maintains the district court erred because there are genuine issues of material fact in dispute that preclude the summary dismissal of each of her claims. OPINION HOLDS: We agree with the district court that each of Gustafson's claims fails as a matter of law. We affirm the summary dismissal of each of her claims.
Case No. 18-1092: Anthony Roland v. Annett Holdings, Inc.
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Karen Romano, Judge. AFFIRMED AND REMANDED. Heard by Tabor, P.J., and Mullins and Bower, JJ. Gamble, S.J., takes no part. Opinion by Tabor, J. (13 pages)
Annett Holdings appeals the district court's order certifying Anthony Roland's class action, arguing the case presents no common question of fact or law and individual issues predominate over those common to the class. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find no abuse of discretion in the district court's conclusion a question common to all class members, the legality of the Memorandum of Understanding, lies at the heart of the dispute, or in its conclusion that common issue predominates over the individual issues involved, we affirm and remand for further proceedings.
Case No. 18-1118: Sheryl Schwab v. Jennifer Zahradnik
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Benton County, Lars G. Anderson, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Tabor and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Bower, J. (11 pages)
Sheryl Schwab appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment in her legal malpractice action against Jennifer Zahradnik. Schwab claims Zahradnik provided negligent legal representation by failing to preserve her rights to her ex-spouse's potential medical-malpractice claim, her right to file a loss-of-consortium claim, and a right to reimbursement for insurance premiums paid during the dissolution. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the district court dismissal of Schwab's legal malpractice claims.
Case No. 18-1129: Mau Family Limited Partnership v. Property Assessment Appeal Board and Dickinson County Board of Review
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dickinson County, David A. Lester, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Tabor and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (14 pages)
Property owner Mau Family Ltd. Partnership appeals the district court's judicial-review order affirming the Property Assessment Appeal Board's (PAAB) valuation of its properties between East Lake and West Lake Okoboji, arguing there were various errors in PAAB's assessment and it is not supported by substantial evidence. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find no merit in the alleged errors and the valuation was supported by substantial evidence, we affirm.
Case No. 18-1171: JLL LLC v. City of Cedar Falls, et al.
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Kellyann M. Lekar, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Vogel, C.J., Vaitheswaran, J., and Mahan, S.J., but decided by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Mahan, S.J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J. (5 pages)
JLL LLC appeals the district court's order on its application for attorney fees and costs following a condemnation action by the City of Cedar Falls. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the district court's ruling on taxation of costs.
Case No. 18-1200: David and Rachael Sokol v. Robert and Eileen Morrissey
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Jeffrey D. Farrell, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Potterfield, P.J., and Tabor and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (9 pages)
Homebuyers David and Rachael Sokol appeal an adverse ruling in their lawsuit against seller Bob Morrissey alleging breach of the implied warranty of good and workerlike construction. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find substantial evidence supporting the district court's conclusion the Sokols could have reasonably identified the claimed defects before purchasing the home, we affirm.
Case No. 18-1294: John L. Hintermeister v. Belin McCormick, PC, Nathan J. Barber, Riverview Hotel Development, LLC d/b/a Merrill Hotel & Conference Center, and MLC Land Company, LLC
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Muscatine County, Patrick McElyea, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Potterfield, P.J., and Tabor and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Potterfield, P.J. (12 pages)
Plaintiff John Hintermeister appeals the district court decision granting summary judgment to defendants Nathan Barber, Belin McCormick, P.C., Riverview Hotel Development, LLC, and MLC Land Company, LLC for his claims of tortious interference with business relations and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The district court determined the litigation privilege applied to the defendants' conduct and granted their motion for summary judgment. OPINION HOLDS: We determine the district court properly granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment.
Case No. 18-1399: Cassandra Rena McConkey on Behalf of B.M. v. Kevin Charles Huisman
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Boone County, Steven J. Oeth, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Vogel, S.J., and Gamble, S.J. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J. (10 pages)
Cassandra McConkey, the mother of a child, appeals the district court's denial of her petition for relief from sexual abuse filed on behalf of the child against the child's father, Kevin Huisman. She contends (1) she met her burden of proving Huisman sexually abused the child and (2) the district court should have excluded Huisman's expert witness for failure to disclose her. OPINION HOLDS: We find the second issue dispositive. Given the prejudice to McConkey of Huisman's expert non-disclosure, we reverse and remand for a new trial on McConkey's petition. We also remand for a hearing on the reasonableness of McConkey's attorney fee request.
Case No. 18-1410: In re the Marriage of Nelson and Epari
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dallas County, Randy V. Hefner, Judge. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Mullins and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Bower, J. (7 pages)
Alok Epari appeals the district court's order modifying the physical care and visitation provisions of the decree dissolving his marriage with Renee Nelson, formerly Renee Epari. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the district court ruling granting Renee physical care of the children, and affirm as modified the visitation schedule.
Case No. 18-1460: Estate of Wilbur M. Arnold, William D. Arnold v. Bruce C. Arnold, Individually and as Executor, Karen L. Heuer, as Executor, Steven C. Arnold, as Executor, BCA Farmland Corporation, Arlys L. Arnold, Don R. Arnold, Lance J. Arnold, Mary A. Arnold, and Warren J. Arnold
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Hancock County, Colleen D. Weiland, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Tabor, J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Tabor, J. (9 pages)
William Arnold sued members of his family for tortious interference and undue influence resulting in him not receiving a bequest of the family farmland from his aunt and uncle. The district court granted the defendants summary judgment. William appeals. OPINION HOLDS: Because the evidence William brings is no more than speculative about the influence the defendants may have had on the deceased, the grant of summary judgment was proper, and we affirm.
Case No. 18-1491: In re the Marriage of Olsen
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Wapello County, Myron L. Gookin, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Potterfield, P.J., and Doyle and Tabor, JJ. Opinion by Potterfield, P.J. (10 pages)

James Olsen argues the district court improperly calculated both his and Deora's incomes and improperly awarded Deora alimony of $300 per month for five years and then $250 per month for another five years. Deora Olsen requests appellate attorney fees. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the district court's award of alimony and its calculation of James's income. We decline to award Deora appellate attorney fees.

Return appointments account for 67% of all acute outpatient activity.
Certain specialities are under particular pressure, including gastroenterology, orthopaedics, ophthalmology and dermatology. This is not a problem exclusive to Scotland. The challenges of the rise in long-term conditions, ageing and patients with multiple conditions are being experienced all round the world.
It is widely recognised that the current design of hospital outpatient services cannot cope with increasing demands, both from initial referrals and follow-up appointments. The underlying service model needs to be transformed.
Our role is to help the Scottish Government and other partners to better understand the scale of the challenge and what it might entail. To make the task manageable, our work will focus on individuals who have multiple long-term conditions which currently require regular interaction with outpatient services.
Some high-volume specialities have experienced significant growth in new attendances, Gastroenterology has grown by 104%, Respiratory medicine has grown by 78%, dermatology by 22% and General surgery by 26%.
400,000 outpatient appointments have the potential to be redesigned.
We are supporting the Scottish Government and NHS Scotland on identifying what the service might look like in future, with a focus on the use of digital tools and services to improve healthcare provision, while also better managing growing demand.
The Scottish Government has led work on modern outpatient services, with various initiatives over the last decade aimed at supporting NHS boards and local healthcare providers. Much of this has focused on steps to improve or even optimise the current service as it is delivered today.

2nd Tasmanian Imperial Bushmen, Tasmanians at Elands River, 5 August 1900
Topic: BW - Tas - 2TIB
2nd TIB
2nd Tasmanian Imperial Bushmen
Tasmanians at Elands River
Thomas Goucher
[From: John Bufton, Tasmanians in the Transvaal War, p. 150.]
Edward Thomas "Mickey" Phelan
Both Goucher and his batman, "Mickey" Phelan were captured by the Boers at Elands River.
In 1904, John Bufton was commissioned to write the history of Tasmania's role in the Boer War. The finished work was called Tasmanians in the Transvaal War, and published at Hobart in 1905. Below is an account of the action at Elands River through the eyes of the Tasmanians.
John Bufton, Tasmanians in the Transvaal War, Hobart, 1905, pp. 172-3:
From Mafeking we trekked to Zeerust, a distance of forty miles. While here we saw General Carrington pass through with a small column to the relief of the gallant little band of bushmen and South Rhodesian Volunteers who were besieged at Elands River by De la Rey, with a large force of Boers and artillery. The garrison had only an old seven-pounder muzzle-loader and a Maxim for defence. Two Tasmanians were among the besieged-S.M. Goucher and Trooper Phelan.
The attempt to relieve them by General Carrington proved an utter failure, and some very hard things have been said about the half-hearted way in which the attempt was made. Then followed the retreat to Mafeking, which no Australian who took part in it will forget. The retreat was orderly enough, for there was plenty of time, as no signs of Boers were to be seen in pursuit. An immense pile of stores, estimated at £100,000 worth, was set fire to ; and then how the Boers must have laughed at the spectacle of nearly 2000 men, with about a dozen guns, running away from nothing for it is said that only 25 Boers entered the town after the British forces left it. Certain it is that De la Rey did not follow, and the Boer force under Commandant Lemmer was not more than Boo, and without artillery, which occupied the district when evacuated by the troops under Carrington. After a rest of three or four days we marched out again to Malmain, 22 miles, and found the village of Ottoshoop occupied by the Boers, who fled at our approach. Early next morning the advance guard came into action with the enemy, and by midday a general engagement was in progress , the Boers occupying a long ridge crossing the main road to Zeerust, and four miles from Malmain. By nightfall the enemy had been driven from every position and scattered . Our loss was light-about half a dozen casualties. After occupying the position for a couple of days, the troops retired into Ottoshoop. when General Carrington left us, earning an unenviable reputation among the men under his command.

Q: Uploading files with XMLHttpRequest I am new to XMLHttpRequest and I have been using it as a AJAX file uploader using JavaScript's FormData().
The problem I am having is that it seems to upload fine, although I think it is not sending it to the right PHP file or my PHP is wrong because nothing is displayed in the folder where pictures should be.
At the moment, I don't know how to view the returned html data
JavaScript:
$("#form").submit(function(event) {

Summary ** DISPUTED ** Integer overflow in the process_envvars function in elf/rtld.c in glibc before 2.5-rc4 might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a large LD_HWCAP_MASK environment variable value. NOTE: the glibc maintainers state that they do not believe that this issue is exploitable for code execution.
description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200707-04 (GNU C Library: Integer overflow) Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Team discovered a flaw in the handling of the hardware capabilities mask by the dynamic loader. If a mask is specified with a high population count, an integer overflow could occur when allocating memory. Impact : As the hardware capabilities mask is honored by the dynamic loader during the execution of suid and sgid programs, in theory this vulnerability could result in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges. This update is provided as a precaution against currently unknown attack vectors. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
statement Based on the analysis of Red Hat and several Glibc developers, Mandriva does not believe this to be exploitable.

Essential Considerations When Picking Among A New Yacht Construction And Semi Custom Yachts
When it comes to picking up a appropriate yacht 1 can either buy a semi custom yacht or opt for a new yacht building. A new yacht building is one particular exactly where the owner is a element of the developing of his vessel from its commence to finish while a semi custom yacht is more or significantly less constructed but the inlay and designing can be done to reflect the personality of its owner. Deciding on either of these vessels demands some study and understanding of these vessels as properly as on the element of the purchasers financial and personal expectations from his yacht.
Also called series yachts, semi custom yachts are normally constructed in bulk numbers. Construction companies initial carry out intensive analysis and come up with the perfect model of a sailing or a motor yacht with the finest attributes. This model is then replicated and a tiny quantity of yachts are built accordingly.
Even a couple of years ago most of these yachts had been launched in its fully finished state. But items have changed now as shipyards are providing the benefit of molding these vessels to the cruise needs of their buyers. This would imply that once a semi custom yacht is picked up by a purchaser, the critical functions of the vessel like the quantity of cabins and its interiors can be carried out up to their preferences.
Building organizations can cater to a wide variety of requirements for buyers interested in semi custom yachts. A single of the most prominent characteristics that are customized on these vessels is the furnishings and the interiors. Buyers can also adjust the number of cabins in their yacht by purchasing then at the earlier stages of construction.
Opting for a new super yacht construction offers a entire new dimension to owning a personal yacht. Think about witnessing your vessel comes up from the very very first sketches into a correct yacht which has been constructed according to your style and comfort. The building business will let the purchasers perform with its designers as closely as attainable in order to help him own the vessel of his dreams.
Deciding between a semi custom yacht and a new yacht building has to be weighed with their positive aspects and as effectively as their disadvantages. Firstly your spending budget as nicely as the building period for the yacht ought to be your prime deciding elements. Whilst a new yacht building will be prepared in three years time, you can acquire a semi custom yacht within a year. Opting for a brand new yacht to be constructed will come out to be much much more expensive in contrast to semi custom yachts which are a greater bargain.
If you want your yacht to be the ultimate reflection of your personality and have no qualms about cost or time, then opting for a new yacht construction would be ideal for you. Alternatively a semi custom yacht would be an excellent selection for most buyers as they can develop really a handful of alterations to suit their taste and have possession of their yacht faster and to a budget.

Beyond Exploitation Cinema: Music Fandom, Disability, and Mission to Lars
Duffett, Mark (Bloomsbury Academic, 2016-07-14)
Mission to Lars (Moore and Spicer 2012) is a feature documentary in which Kate and William Spicer help their brother Tom make his dream come true. Tom wishes to meet drummer Lars Ulrich from the heavy metal band Metallica. He also has Fragile X syndrome, which Kate calls, "a sort of autism with bells on." Mission to Lars is therefore a film about disability and popular music fandom. Its marketing and reviews suggest a warm and sympathetic portrait of family life in which two siblings help a third to achieve his ambition. No documentary innocently captures its subject. Mission to Lars explores issues of disability awareness. Raising the possibility that Kate and Will Spicer may not have been motivated by altruism, it deliberately contrasts able-bodied and disabled cast members by using fan stereotypes. The film is therefore an unusual 'fansploitation' picture, depicting fandom both as a training ground for employment and as a compensation for the disabled.

There are not one, but two amazing events going on this weekend that are worth going out into the Mid-August heat for. One is for ladies who love them some local (and not so local) beers, and the other is for anyone who is really into eating kimichi and just celebrating the fact that it exists.
This fun beer festival will be featuring over 20 women owned breweries this Saturday. Some of the breweries pouring one down include Grimm Artisanal Ales, Industrial Arts Brewing, Interboro Spirits and Ales and Strong Rope Brewery. Spend the afternoon sipping on some fresh brews and empowering women in a continuously innovative industry. Tickets are $20 to $75 and can be purchased here.
Kimchi, a Korean staple for meals that pairs with almost everything, has been gaining traction with all kinds of people. So if you've been eating it all of your life or are new to trying the different varieties, give this event a go. There's going to be a make your own kimchi station, live music and a suer spicy kimchi eating contest. Get your gut ready!

Q: why is this loop running infinitely discord.py?  users = await new_msg.reactions[0].users().flatten()
 users.pop(users.index(self.client.user))
 finaluser= users
 role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="Admins")
 print(finaluser)
 for user in users: //this is running infinitely
   await ctx.send(user.name)
   if role in user.roles:
     finaluser.append(user)
     await ctx.send(finaluser)
     return

Here why is this for loop running infinitely? I cannot understand

A: I have found a way to fix it. Instead of assigning finaluser to users, I assigned it to
finaluser= await new_msg.reactions[0].users().flatten(). Now, It's working as expected.


There is a bold line between loneliness and being alone. Loneliness, in my opinion, is a feeling of sadness, of isolation beyond your control, and ultimately has a negative effect on your life.
Being alone, however, is healthy. It is good for your mental state; to recalibrate your emotions, to collect your thoughts, to learn about yourself and who you are, to assess your goals in an unbiased manner.
But how can you be alone without being lonely? I believe it starts in childhood. You have to learn to play by yourself and to preoccupy yourself without constant stimulation and attention of another person. Due to different life courses, however, sometimes we have to learn the skill of being alone at a later age. These are the ways I spend time alone without that nagging, gloomy feeling of loneliness.
Journaling & Reading. It works. There is no shame in keeping a journal or a diary, and it doesn't have to be a typical "Dear Diary…" type of journal (but if that works for you, go for it!). I just like to have a notebook to dump all of the thoughts that have accumulated in my brain. Journaling lets you be alone without feeling lonely because you are accompanied by your thoughts. Reading is also a way to be with yourself and learn about yourself by immersing your thoughts in another era, lifestyle, culture, or even a whole other world. You'd be surprised how much you can get to know yourself through reading a story– you'd also be surprised how long you'll be able to go without feeling alone.
Unplug. When you are constantly attached to your devices, you are never truly alone. Turn off, disconnect, silence. Try not to worry about what other people are doing. FOMO (fear of missing out) is a real thing, I know all too well how it feels and it can certainly lead to loneliness. I find the best way to avoid this nagging feeling that you're missing out is to just forget that your devices exist. Silence them and put them in a drawer or another room and do something you enjoy.
Get Creative. Photography, painting, sketching, writing, DIY, dance, playing music– all things you can do alone yet have an end goal, something you'll be proud of. Even if you don't end up with a final product, you'll still feel satisfied and like you've spent your valuable time well. No matter what result, you will have gotten lost in your thoughts, been productive, and had a little fun all on your own.
You'll be amazed at how fulfilling it can be to be by yourself. You'll feel a new sense of pride, self-sufficiency, and accomplishment. You will learn more about who you are and what you're capable of. I admire people who travel solo– they have mastered the art of being alone. There are a bunch of great books out there on this topic that will give far better information, but this is what works for me. I encourage you to read up on the topic. I value my time alone, but I don't think it's healthy to be alone all of the time– there is definitely a balance. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The Dilemma of Voting or Otherwise
Let me get this over with quickly, I am under no illusion and it will make no difference to people inside Iran whether Potkin Azarmehr thinks we should vote on Friday or otherwise. I have no influence on how people will decide inside Iran.
Personally I myself will not vote, for I have no idea who and how the polling stations in London will be supervised and the votes counted. I also doubt if the expat vote will make any impact on the outcome. What is important is to explain the predicament that people face inside Iran to the outside world.
Every four years our people are faced with a choice of voting for the bad or the worse. This time round, the choice of worse is really bad, it will be a disaster if Ahmadinejad becomes the president again. Those who decide to go to the polling stations are by no means in favour of the regime. They understand that an election in which candidates are vetoed by an unelected body is not fair. They understand that the real power is not in the hands of the president and he can change very little. Notice I didn't have to write he/she in the last sentence, for the vetoed presidential candidate has to be a man. He also has to be a Shiite Muslim, and he has to be a Shiite Muslim who accepts the rule by the Supreme Leader, and even then it is not enough, for in case this male Shiite Muslim loyal to the Supreme Leader has in the past been more critical of policies than is tolerated, he will also be disqualified. So no one with a reasonable amount of brain cells accepts that this is an inclusive or a fair election.
Those who are not in favour of the regime and still vote, do so because they simply want to breathe a little bit easier during their lifetime, they want to experience a slight improvement in the economy, they want to feel less worried that their daughter is not picked up by the morality patrols and taken to the police station with unpredictable dire consequences.
Those who advocate a boycott say by turning up at the polling stations we are giving legitimacy to the regime, we are helping the regime lobbyists to promote the regime as a democracy.
Of course the Islamic Republic lobbyists, the CASMIIs, the Haleh Afshars, the SWP and all the other puppets of the regime will do their best to exploit the public turnout and claim it as people's support for a legitimate regime and evidence of democracy in Iran. To combat such nonsense is the responsibility of expats like me.
High voter turnout or low voter turnout is not a reason for legitimacy or democracy or otherwise. Look at the low turnout for the European elections and the 99% turnout in Saddam's elections. Legitimacy of a regime stems not from turnout at the polling stations but from whether the regime suppresses its peoples, whether it provides a fair and free elections, whether it cares about the public opinion, whether it is accountable to its subjects and whether the public participate in running the country without prejudice regarding their ethnicity, religion or gender. Clearly on these basis the theocracy in Iran has no legitimacy, it is forced on the people of Iran and the minute that force is removed, the people will reject it.
For the reasons above, I think as expats who do not have to face the harsh realities of living in Iran, it is not our job to advocate a voter turnout or otherwise but explain the undemocratic nature of the election process in Iran and the predicament that the Iranian people face in choosing between the bad and the worse, to the outside world and make sure the regime puppets do not twist the 'elections' for their own pro-regime agendas.
This time round there are also other marked differences which have to be taken into consideration. Unlike four years ago, it is not a choice between the bad and the worse but between the bad and the very terrible worse and the second option is in power already.
The polls and other evidences suggest that the Moussavi camp have convinced the majority that only a vote for Moussavi will ensure putting a stop to Ahmadinejad. Most of those who are voting for Moussavi are not so much pro-Moussavi but they are casting an anti-Ahmadinejad vote.
The weeks leading up to the election day on Friday have also provided the public with rare opportunities of public gatherings and demonstrations. Topics which until now were considered taboo in the Islamic Republic, like the massacre of political prisoners in 1988 and the 'cultural revolution' have surfaced beyond the control of the authorities, because of the courage of the activists inside Iran.
The live televised debates between the candidates has been a total condemnation of the Islamic Republic in its entirety, where millions of people have watched the approved candidates expose the level of corruption, nepotism and incompetence throughout the three decades of theocratic rule in Iran.
The spontaneous demonstrations in the aftermath of the televised debates are gathering momentum day by day and as the numbers grow, the more confident the people get in asking for their real demands which are beyond the jurisdictions of an Islamic Republic president.
This special atmosphere of opportunities and this momentum of public demos which is politicising the population and specially the young will not last forever however. The ideal situation on Friday, in my view, will be if Moussavi and Karrubi go to the second round. It will keep going this momentum of crowds pouring into the streets for another week and so much can happen in a week if large crowds are on the streets. It will also let people concentrate on real issues and on their real demands without the shadow of Ahmadienjad's re-election hanging over their heads.
But we must think beyond 12th June. We must be ready for all the possible outcomes on Friday. What if Ahmadinejad is re-appointed again through cheating and vote manipulation? What if Ahmadienjad and the Guards resort to a military coup? What if Moussavi wins and like Khatami disappoints the people and their expectations once again leading to another era of political apathy and hopelessness. Are we planning for these outcomes?
Posted by Azarmehr at 6:14 AM
well said my friend.....
- There are just under 47m registered voters in Iran (odd since that's greater than the voting age population according to government stats - just ask Karrubi).
- There are about 2m Iranians living in the US and Europe (I thought more, but that's what I read this morning).
On a purely numerical basis, it strikes me that the expat vote, IF honestly counted, could make an impact.
Azarmehr said...
Believe me there is no way the regime will allow the expat vote decide the outcome.
The expats will never come and vote in their millions, many will not have teh right documentations, many will be far away from polling stations and many will not even know its election day in Iran
Ahmadinjihad's re-Selection will help speed up the fall of the regime. And as far as I see, he's gonna come out as the selected one. And by his re-selection, the regime will be on its path to a big grave.
Somehow I do not believe Ahmadi Khareh will come out of the horse box a second time.
If he was to be shoehorned in - they would not have allowed any -so called - heavy weights like Mosavie e Khamenie to stand against him with so much fanfares and TV propaganda.
ultimately - the deceived Iranians who will bother to go and vote should remember this famous quote -
"You are either for us or against us" ...
As the chief mullah in IRI has said - Which in turn he has learned from his chief supporters in the US - The BUSHES and Hajji Obama...
Ey IRAN - see what has been done to you NOW !

If say Mousavi becomes president, do you think there will be a change in Iran's policis towards the west (and especially Israel)?
Strategic foreign policy decisions is outside the jurisdictions of the president as Moussavi himself said in his interview with Times online.
If the momentum that is on the streets continues however and teh crowds get larger and stronger, then the people pressure will become a factor.
ALLIANCE FOR DEMOCRACY IN IRAN said...
Street crowds and mobs in general can easily be manipulated as we saw in 1979 debacle.
Aimless crowds are like sheep going to slaughter house....
The main reason I'm asking is because of the outcome in Lebanon. A "pro Western" government was elected and now there is consern that it will be legitamised by the West which will bring gains to Hizballah who are still strong (not to mention that Hariri said Lebanon would be the last to do peace with Israel). The thing is if a "moderate" president in Iran will be elected the West (esspecially USA) might stop the sanctions and start treating Iran as a partner without any change from Iran. I hope though that if a relativly more moderate president will be elected,there will be more freedoms in Iran which might make the NEXT elections in Iran better (just imagen in 40-80 years Iran will be "a beam of light" in the ME :) )
How governments that are created after a social upheaval and prevalence of all sorts of freedoms, take back those freedoms from the victorious people.

Alliance for Democracy in Iran,
The video you have posted is by Nouri Ala, was he not himself one of the supporters and proponents of Khomeini in 1979?
Correct me if I am wrong but was he and his wife SHokooh Mirzadegi not Tudeh Party members? and now trying to be the Massoud and Maryam Rajavi of the pro-democracy movement? :))))
Yes - They where and they still are -
But - he is explaining these subjects / dilemmas in plain and understandable Farsi language -
In this respect - he is correct and maybe listening to his explanation might open some people's mind.
PS. I do not in any shape or form agree with everything that he has said or his general politics - he is anti Prince Reza Pahlavi - but I do not hold that against him when he talks sense.
Well you and Reza Pahlavi and Tudeh Mr & Mrs. Ala can call yourself an alliance. Reza Pahlavi seems more interested in talking and wasting time with Tudeh types these days any way.
So you see at last your Alliance has 4 people in it! Hurray! :))
More bullshit from you ....
ahmagh-kun-goshad is definately going to get re-elected
barmakid said...
Did you here about the telephone poll taken of Iranians? It was done from another nation under the condition that no information (who and from where it was done) would be released besides the poll results. And according to the results, Ahmadinejad is handily ahead.
Bloomberg News:
"Some 58.6 percent of voters say they will cast their ballots in favor of Ahmadinejad while 21.9 percent will back Mousavi, according to a poll conducted for the government on May 3 and 4, state media reported. In a separate poll conducted mid May by Iran's state-owned broadcaster, Mousavi led in Tehran, with 47 percent of the capital's vote, while Ahmadinejad had 43 percent.
The polling methods and margin of error in each poll weren't given."
If there is any merit to this poll, then this means there might not even be a run-off!!
It also means that this talk of "reappointment and re-selection" is unmerited. Just because you guys have this antiquated notion that daftare rahbar controls everything and that all Iranian politics are controlled doesn't mean its true. If you've noticed, Khamenei doesn't blow the political winds, he follows them.
I'm tired of every Iranian and their mother saying that "ina hamme mohre shatranj hastand va bla bla bla" when they haven't read a book or know anything about history but their own experiences.
Let's be real and stop regurgitating the same notions of the past 30 years.
barmakid
p.s. Change is the only constant.
Barmakid,
Polls in Iran are bollocks. Iranian culture is alien to polls and Iranian people never tell how they really feel in the polls. Don't take much notice of them nor the books you read by the way.
Let's hope the regime appoints Ahmadinjihad again. I want the regime to fall sooner than later. Morons like mousavi will delay the collapse of this dead regime.
saggezard said...
My grossly generalized predictions: It's a toss up, if Ahmadinejad is reinstalled then collapse and Balcanization is possible, if Mousavi is installed then he would be the war president. Hell of a choice.
Hanif Leylabi said...
I agree with a lot of what you said.
The SWP does not, however, think Iran is democratic. Simply that it is not the dictatorship the west portrays it as and that this difference is something that needs to be highlighted as an aggressive western fpreign policy relies on the ignorance of demoestic populations.
Hanif, you are alive??
I have just come across a piece by your CASMII mates/turncoats, it seems after three decades, these traitors have finally sensed the collpase of the Islamic Republic is near and can no longer defend it.
I will soon write a post about it. As for SWP not supporting the Islamic Republic I refer you to an SWP organised meeting at SOAS which I also attended and wrote about. It was filmed, editted to the liking of teh Islamic Republic and broadcast on it. If this isn't supporting the Islamic Republic, I don't know what is.
Also your party comrade, Ady Cousins, a complete wanker and an apology for a man was trying to shop me to the 'Fascist' British police :))))

Q: Linq + Where + abstract method = LINQ to Entities does not recognize method First of all: I know that there were already many questions before about this topic. But I really could not find any solutions mor MY problem. My problem is that I am using an abstract method to select from an dbset. My code looks like this:
var dbe = (from i in dbEntities where IsEqualRecord(me, i) select i);

And this is my abstract method deklaration:
protected abstract bool IsEqualRecord(MEntity modelEntities, DEntity databaseEntity);

MEntity and DEntity are generic-types. I've read that my where Statement can't be translated to an sql statement. But how can I solve that problem? Is there any other approach?
Please don't vote to close this question. I've took a look at nearly every similar question on stackoverflow but I could not find a solution.

A: Linq to Entities queries are translated to SQL to be executed by the DBMS, so you can only use code that can be translated to SQL. A custom C# method cannot be translated to SQL, so EF fails to translate the query. The fact that it's abstract is irrelevant.
A possible workaround would be to replace IsEqualRecord by a method that returns an Expression<Func<DEntity, bool>> that can be translated to SQL; you could then do something like that:
var dbe = dbEntities.Where(MakeEqualityPredicate(me));

...

protected abstract Expression<Func<DEntity, bool>> MakeEqualityPredicate(MEntity m);

The MakeEqualityPredicate method should return an Expression that compares a DEntity to the given MEntity. For instance, a derived class could implement it like this:
protected override Expression<Func<DEntity, bool>> MakeEqualityPredicate(MEntity m)
{
    return d => d.Id == m.Id;
}
