New York City FC coach Vieira breaks silence on St Etienne claims
by Paul Vegas 2018-05-24 16:41:13.000000
New York City FC coach Patrick Vieira has dismissed talk of taking the St Etienne job.
Vieira has been linked with ASSE as a replacement for Lucien Favre amid claims an agreement has already been struck.
But the Frenchman, who is still tied to Manchester City, insisted: "It makes me smile, because of course there is no signed contract or anything like that.
"It's bad information, I'm here, as always, I'm really happy, I love my job, I really enjoy being part of this football club.
"I'm focusing on my next game."

Q: How to add MousePressed Eventhandler to addItem new JButton addItem = new JButton("Add");
gc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE;
gc.weightx = 1.0;
panel.add(addItem, gc);

Am I able to make it into something like that:
addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
            public void handle(MouseEvent me) {

Instead of this I would want that button, but I have no idea what does that addItem do, since it does not let me to add a name there.
Is there a way how I can do this without modifying the 4 rows of code given at the beginning of the question?

A: Code using an inner class instead of EventHandler.
  addItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            //do something
        }
    });

you can get more information on this in java official website.
Refer: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/beans/EventHandler.html
if you add just the mouse listener you will not get the 'press' event if using keyboard. So, if your requirement is strictly bound to mouse press then use below snippet :)
addItem.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {

            @Override
            public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
                // do something

            }

            @Override
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                // do something

            }

            @Override
            public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
                // do something

            }

            @Override
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
                // do something

            }

            @Override
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                // do something

            }

        });

A: what you can do is to add ActionListener to the button click or if you want you can add MouseListener , actually it depends on what you want to do
addItem.addActionListener(new ActtionListener() {...});

Happy Memorial Day! A day where Americans get to take off from work and fire up the barbecue. Maybe there's some sentiment about those we've lost, but it's like how Christmas is about peace and harmony, but then we just buy things. It's important to remember what it's really about.
So hug a vet. I just lost my grandfather this year, a World War II vet who served in the Navy on the USS Duel. Take a second and remember. Then grill up some hot dogs and burgers in their honor.
Now I'm done being serious. Read our comic! It's about candy and Lord of the Rings... the two subjects I spent the most time on in college.

1 September 2001, A.S. XXXVI
Unto Their Royal Majesties Gallchobhar and Haley; Mistress Magdelen Venturosa, Aten Principal Herald; the Heralds in the Atenveldt College of Heralds; and to All Whom These Presents Come,
Greetings from Marta as tu Mika-Mysliwy, Brickbat Herald!
This is the September 2001 internal Atenveldt Letter of Intent. It precedes the external LoI that will contain the following submissions, asking questions of submitters and local heralds who have worked with them; if these questions are not addressed, the submission may be returned by the Atenveldt College of Heralds. You are encouraged to comment upon these submissions, whatever your experience level. Please have your comments to me on the submissions being considered for the 1 October LoI by 25 September. I accept online commentary: brickbat@nexiliscom.com.
Submissions Website: You can send electronic commentary on the most recent internal LoIs through the site, in addition to any questions you might have. Current submission forms (the ONLY forms that can be used!) can be found on the site. Please let your local populace know about the site, too: atensubmissions.nexiliscom.com.
The "Estrella" Letter of Intent: the results of the Estrella War consultation table (plus a few submissions around the edges) are listed below. Out of 63 submissions appearing on that LoI, there were only five returns and one submission pended–I think that there are going to be a lot of happy folks throughout the kingdom, at least happy in a heraldic sense!
Consultation Table Redux: the Table at Kingdom Arts and Sciences was very successful (heck, even if I'd just gotten the LOAD of submissions from Twin Palm Pursuivant alone, I would've considered it successful!). Thanks are extended to the Autocrat and to Padre Seamus for allowing a Table to be held and providing ample space and furniture; to Seamus, Robin of Rhovanion, John Michael Midwinter, Hernando Herodes Montenegro, and Beatrice Lumini for their help (conflict checking, consulting with submitters, and the all-important coloring!). Special thanks is extended to Symond Bayard le Gris for providing a laptop computer with the most recent online Armorial and Ordinary on it–it's a bit slow, but it beats going through the humongous "hard" ones and all the updates! There were also submissions this month from Aurochsford, Granite Mountain, and Sundragon.
Odd notations this month: CT (Consultation Table at Kingdom Arts); and L (local submissions). Also, this month's first names are brought to you by the letter "I" (usually it's the letter "A"), and I refuse to be held personally responsible for having both Robert Delion and Robert de Bere on the same letter...
The following submissions appear in the 1 September 2001 Atenveldt Letter of Intent:
(L) Aileann inghean Fhrancaigh (Barony of Atenveldt): NEW NAME
The name is Irish, "Aileann daughter of the Frenchman". Ailleann (with two l's) is found on p. 19 of Ó Corráin and Maguire. While the name follows the construction of Irish woman's names, I don't know if it's correct to use inghean with a decriptive phrase rather than a proper masculine given name. The byname is found in a website written in Irish Gaelic, and the listing is apparently that of locations (http://www.iol.ie/~leabhair/tablaEI.html), Lana an Fhrancaigh meaning, "Frenchman's Lane". (I have no idea whether the first -h- is lenited, and if the word for "Frenchman" is actually Francaigh.) The name might be workable as a later period Aileanna F(h)ranciagh, in which the byname is an unmarked patronymic (like William becomes Williams, rather than the full-blown Williamson).
(CT) Áine inghean uí Gríobhtha (Sundragon): NEW NAME and DEVICE
Per chevron azure and vert, a chevron and in base a cross clechy argent.
The name is Irish. It is constructed in the Irish fashion to show a clan affiliation, "Áine daughter of a male descendant Gryffyth". Áine is found in Ó Corráin and Maguire, pp. 19-20, a given name used by both men and women. The construction of an Irish clan affiliation for a woman is found in "Quick and Easy Gaelic Names," Sharon Krossa (http://www.medievalscotland.org/scotnames/quickgaelicbynames/#simplepatronymicbyname). Submitted originally as Gryffyth, it appears that the clan name is more correct as (O) Griffin (Anglicized) and as Ó Gríobhtha in Irish Gaelic (The Surnames of Ireland, MacLysaght, p. 137), so that if it is lenited ("softened"), which is always is in this construction, the name might be more accurate lenited...however, G is lenited (Gh), but R isn't...so should the name be Ghríobhtha or remain as Gríobhtha?
The submitter allows no major changes to the name, which should still permit accent, lenition, spelling modifications, etc., to allow this to be a period 9th-11th C. Irish name, which she desires. The early name has the inghean uí elements...a late period name, with a more readily-identifiable/Anglicized spelling would be more likely Áine (O) Griffin. Upon contacting her, the lady perfers a more Irish Gaelic form.
This should be clear of Emory MacMichael (Per chevron azure and vert, a chevron and a chief embattled argent.), with 1 CD for the removal of the chief and 1 CD for the addition of the cross; and Maeve Kilkieran: (Per chevron azure and vert, a chevron argent above three garbs, one and two, Or.), with CDs for change of type, number and tincture of the secondary charges.
(L) Alaric Grümper (Aurochsford): NEW NAME and DEVICE
Argent, on a bend gules between a two-wheeled wooden cart proper and a smith's hammer reversed sable, handled of wood proper, a chain throughout argent.
The name is German. Alaric is a masculine given name, from the Old German Alaricus (Withycombe, p. 8). Grümper is a German surname, "from Grümpen" (Bahlow, p. 189).
(CT) Alicia Nicole Burcet (Granite Mountain): NEW NAME and DEVICE
Per chevron argent and purpure, two fleurs-de-lys azure and a quaver argent.
Alicia is found in Withycombe, under Alice, and dated to 1189-1215 (pp. 15-16). It comes from the Old French Aliz. Nicole is found in the same source under Nicola, Nicolette, as an undated French form of the feminine version of Nicholas, which itself has a wide number of period variations for men and women (p. 228). Lacking an extensive dated source of Spanish names like Dauzat or Bahlow, I was able to find Burcet online, as a spelling variant of the Spanish/Catalan surname Burset; the amateur genealogist who has been researching her family dates Agusti Burcet-Palau born c. 1672 in Blanes, Gerona, Catalunya, Spain (http://members.tripod.com/~eveburset/index-2.html). This is post-period and probably not the best and brightest documentation, as the quality of geneaological searches can vary widely, but this is a start in finding a date and a source for the surname. Catalonia, in the northeastern quadrant of the Iberian Peninsula, borders France, which seems to have permitted cross-cultural exchange between the areas in period.
Brenna MacGhie of Kintyre: NAME APPEAL from Brenda MacGhie of Kintyre, registered March 2001
I am filing this appeal on behalf of the lady, in that I feel somewhat responsible for the registry of a name element that wasn't her preferred choice. Her original name submission, Brenna Michaela Sina Macghie of Clan MacKay, was returned by the CoA in 4/2000 because "There are several problems with the name. Brenna is not Gaelic, but is justifiable as possibly Italian. This makes the name acceptable by itself, but not with the rest of the name. The mixture of English and Gaelic spellings in the name is a weirdness. Furthermore, there is no evidence of Scottish or Irish names with two given names, much less three. Also, there is no evidence of the use of Clan <X> in names. Lastly, the Macghie of MacKay implied that the submitter is the clan chief or the clan chief's daughter, which is presumptuous. The submitter should also be informed that Michaela is not Irish." The name resubmission of Brenda MacGhie of Kintyre solved most of the issues by dropping the non-Irish Michaela, the second given name Sine, and the Clan MacKay designation altogether, leaving Brenna MacGhie of Kintyre. This name resubmission was made in conjunction with a new device submission, and I believe that I erroneously urged the lady to submit Brenda as the given name, as it is her legal given name and would be acceptable under the Lingua Franca rule, thereby avoiding the issue of whether Brenna is an appropriate Gaelic given name. I think this was an error on my part, as the original return stated, "Brenna is not Gaelic, but is justifiable as possibly Italian. This makes the name acceptable by itself, but not with the rest of the name." As a result, the device was registered to the newly-registered Brenda MacGhie of Kintyre. The lady began looking through the Armorial and noted the many Brennas listed therein. While she understands that the College of Arms is not doomed to repeat past mistakes in names research (so that names registered pre-1990 are unlikely good judges of precedent), we both noted that a Brenna McKenzie was registered without Laurel commentary in 4/98. This is a fairly recent approval and seems to argue against the mix of Italian and Gaelic name elements (or possibly, to argue for the use of Brenna as a possible Gaelic name element, as suggested in the original return). Additionally, registration of the name Brenna Beldame in 1999 suggests a migration of an Italian name through France and into Scotland. I also note that Ó Corráin and Maguire say that Brenda might be a feminization of the Irish masculine name Brénainn/Bréanainn, but that its popularity as an Irish woman's name most likely stemmed from Sir Walter Scott's novel The Pirate, published in 1821 (p. 34). The lady notes that if Brenna MacGhie of Kintyre is unacceptable, that the College of Arms consider Brenna of Kintyre as her second choice. Brenna is the single most important element of the name to the submitter. Again, I write this appeal on behalf of the lady, as I feel that I might've prodded her too strongly in resubmitting a name that was not her first choice.
Brennus is the name of a Gallic (Galatian) warlord-prince, c. 279. This tribe plagued Greece and Rome alike, and at one time or another, was under the protections of Rome (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06336a.htm). Brenna is the feminization of this masculine given name. MacGhie is a Scottish surname, from the Irish MacAoidh (Black, p. 496). Kintyre is a peninsula on the western coast of Scotland.
(CT) Cuilén of the Gordons (Tir Ygithr): NEW NAME
Cuilén is an Irish masculine given name (p. 66, Ó Corráin and Maguire). Gordon is a Scottish family name, popular in Ireland, particularly in the Ulster region (p. 132, MacLysaght). While I don't know if this is an optimal name construction, I am willing to send it up (the submitter refuses minor changes as well).
(L) Daniel de la Neu Claire (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME and DEVICE
Per pale sable and argent, a single-headed chess knight counterchanged.
The name is French. Daniel is found in the "Given Names in 1292 Cenus of Paris," Colm Dubh (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laruel/names/paris.html). Neu is being used as an adjective, "new" based on either neuf or nouville (p. 726, entry for Neu, in Dauzat's Dictionnaire Etymoligique des noms de famille; and p. 493, entries for Neubois and Neubourg in Dauzat and Rostaing's Dictionnaire etymologique de noms de liex en France). Claire is a slight corruption, with the addition of the -e, to the French family name Claire (p. 223, Dauzat). The entry for Claira in Noms de liex also shows a place name Claire, dated to 1285 (p. 193). This is excellent documentation, provided entirely by the submitter! The sound of the name is the most important issue to the submitter.
This is clear of Aonghais Dubh MacTarbh (Per pale argent and sable, a horse's head couped argent, orbed gules, crined of flames and incensed proper, gorged of a ducal crown Or fimbriated sable.), with 1 CD for change of field, and 1 CD for change of tincture of the primary charge.
(CT) Friðrekr berserkr (Sundragon): NEW NAME
The is Old Norse, and both elements are found in Geirr Bassi's "The Old Norse Name." Friðrekr is found on p. 9, and berserkr, a nickname, is found on p. 20.
(L) Iamys MacMurray de Morayshire (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME and DEVICE
Paly of six vert and argent, two wyverns erect sable, on a chief azure three mullets argent.
The name is Scots. Iamys , "James," is found in "13th & 14th Century Scottish Names," Symon Freser of Lovat (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/symonFreser/scottish14/). MacMurray is a Galloway surname from an Irish source; this spelling is undated in Black, pp. 546-7. Morayshire is a maritime county in northeastern Scotland (http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/sct/MOR/). Correspondence with Elsbeth Anne Rose (Laurel Queen Emerita) considers the issue of pretense ("X of Y" names); it is her opinion that as long as the MacMurray clan does not have an established seat or headquarters in Morayshire, pretense is not an issue. Robert Bain, however, notes that the Murray clan had its origins in the Province of Moray, and that the principal family is said to be descended from Freskin, who received lands in Moray from David I (The Clans and Tartans of Scotland, p. 246). I would prefer to send this on and get feedback on the potential for pretense from the CoA.
(L) Iamys MacMurray de Morayshire: NEW BADGE
Gules, on a pile wavy argent a lion rampant contourny sable.
By RfS X.4.j.ii (a)--Armory that has a group of identical charges on an ordinary or other suitable charge alone on the field is a simple case., this is clear of both Elspeth Fauconneau (Counter-ermine, on a pile wavy argent a joscelyn sable belled Or.) and
Raedwynn æt thæm Grenan Wuda (Per pale purpure and vert, on a pile wavy argent, three mazers sable.), with 1 CD for field and 1 CD for change of the charge on the ordinary.
(CT) Ianuk Raventhourne (Tir Ysgithr): NEW DEVICE
Argent, a pale engrailed gules between a single-horned anvil reversed and a raven close affronty sable.
The name appears in the 1 April 2001 Atenveldt Letter of Intent.
(L) Ismenia O'Mulryan and Cosmo Craven the Elder (BoAtenveldt): NEW BADGE
Per bend sinister argent and ermine, a bend sinister and in dexter chief a skeletal hand fesswise reversed sable.
The names were both registered March 1999.
The bend sinister needs to be beefed up a bit, and the ermine spots need to be fewer and larger.
(CT) Ivan Petrovich (Tir Ysgithr): NEW NAME
The name is Russian. Ivan is a variation of Ioann, the Russian form of John. Petrovich, "son of Petr," the Russian form of Peter. Both elements are found in "A Dictionary of Period Russian Names," Paul Wickenden of Thanet (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/paul/). The closest name that we found to this belongs to Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (and if that name rings a bell, he's the 19th C. Russian behaviorist); deleting the final element avoids a conflict.
(L) Katherine Scarlett Hawkins (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME
The name is English. Katherine is undated but found in Withycombe, p. 186. Scarlett is found in Reaney and Wilson, p. 308; this particular spelling dates to a William Scarlet(t) in 1185. Hawkins is undated but also appears in Reaney and Wilson, p. 169. Sir John Hawkins, an English naval commander, died in 1532 (Webster's New Biographical Dictionary, p. 455).
(L) Margarette van Zanten (BoAtenveldt): NEW DEVICE CHANGE
Pily bendy Or and azure, a pegasus salient contourny argent.
The name was registered August 1989.
We don't know the disposition of her currently-held device, Pily bendy azure and Or, a swift migrant bendwise sinister argent., also registered August 1989. At this time, we request that if the device change is registered, the current holding is changed to a badge.
(L) Oddr ölfúss the Tanner (Aurochsford): NEW NAME and DEVICE
Per chevron gules and Or, two drinking horns, mouths to chief, Or, and a leatherworker's head knife sable.
The name is Norse. Oddr is a masculine given name, found in "Viking Names found in the Landnámabók," Aryanhwy merch Catmael (http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~sfriedemann/names/landnamabok.htm). The byname ölfúss, "desirous of beer," is found in "Viking Bynames found in the Landnámabók," Aryanhwy merch Catmael (http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~sfriedemann/names/vikbynames.htm). He would like assistance in finding the Norse word for "tanner," so that the entire name can be rendered into a single language.
All of the charges are found in the Pictorial Dictionary.
(L) Raven Mayne (Barony of Atenveldt): NEW NAME
The name is English. Leduuinus filius Renuene (1086) is cited in the Domesday Book, and Rauen de Engelbi is dated to 1185 (Reaney and Wilson, p. 290). Bardsley's Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames also shows a Raven de Slinghawe (1155), Gospatric filius Raven (1177), and Raven de Riding, (1233) (p. 637). Raven is seen in a Raven Speigele from Kassel, Germany, in 1270 (Dictionary of German Names, Hans Bahlow). Mayne is dated to 1237 in Reaney and Wilson, p. 236.
(L) Robert de Bere (BoAtenveldt): DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, October 2000
Per pale gules and argent, two ferrets combattant counterchanged.
The name was registered October 2000.
The original submission (Vert, two ferrets combattant Or.), was returned for the beasts on the emblazon not looking like ferrets, but more like wolves/canines. These critters are much more ferretine in nature (probably need more pointy little teeth, though :). This is clear of Vladimir Ivanovich Aleksandrov (Per chevron gules and argent, two otters combattant and another rampant to sinister, all
maintaining glaives, counterchanged.), with 1 CD for difference of the field and 1 CD for differences in number of primary charges.
(CT) Robert Delion (Granite Mountain): NEW DEVICE
Per fess azure and vert, a fess embattled-counterembattled argent between a demi-lion Or maintaining a pair of rapiers fesswise proper and a Maltese cross Or.
The name was registered July 2000.
The fess could use a little widening, probably at least one thickness of the crenelations on its unaffected width. The lion also is gorged with a crown (no, really, it's there!), which is a charge reserved to past royalty, so that will be removed from the emblazon.
(L) Rose Elizabeth Weaver (Granite Mountain): NEW NAME, DEVICE and BADGE
Quarterly vert and azure, a weaver's shuttle and an empty drop spindle in saltire argent.
(fieldless) A weaver's shuttle and an empty drop spindle in saltire argent.
The name is English. Rose is found in England in this form as early as 1316 (Withycombe, p. 258). Elizabeth is found in England as early as 1205, but became very popular in the latter half of the 16th C (Withycombe, pp. 99-100). Weaver is an occupational surname, dated to 1296; this spelling is undated in Reaney and Wilson (p. 374). Some of the name sources provided for this submission are on the discouraged name source list (lack of dates and overall scholarship in the work), but I understand how some libraries aren't quite up to CoA standards. :) Again, I strongly recommend the Medieval Names Archives (http://www.panix.com/~mittle/names/) to anyone interested in researching a period SCA name.
The Pictorial Dictionary states that a drop spindle appears to be threaded by default, so the blazon here has been slightly modified.
(L) Rowan Bridget Blackmoor (Sundragon): NEW NAME and DEVICE
Sable, a Celtic cross between four eyes argent, irised vert.
Rowan is the Anglicized form of the Irish masculine given name Rúadhán (p. 157, Ó Corráin and Maguire). Bridget is the usual Anglicized form of the Irish feminine given name Brigit/Brighid; St. Brigit of Kildare is one of several saints sharing this name (Ó Corráin and Maguire, pp. 36-37). Blackmoor is an English placename; Blakemore and Blackmere are attested in the 12-13th Centuries. (Eckwall, English Place Names, 4th edition, p. 47). This isn't an ideal construction of a name, but all forms are Anglicized or English; we don't know if English speakers of late period would mix genders, or if there was much crossover of Irish names into English naming practices. A mixed gender name was registered as recently (relatively speaking ) in 1994, to Rowan Celia FitzMartin.
This should be clear of Charles the Bull (Sable, on a Celtic cross argent a thistle purpure.), with 1 CD for the addition of the secondary charges and 1 CD for the removal of the tertiary charge. It should also be clear of Siobhan an Lochllanach (Sable, a Celtic cross argent atop a mount Or.) with CDs for changes in the type, tincture, and number of secondary charges.
(L) Seamus McDaid (BoAtenveldt): DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, December 1999
Per pale argent and azure, a shamrock counterchanged.
The name was registered December 1999.
This is a complete redesign of the original submission, returned for a tincture violation.
(L) Shaun of the Forrest (BoAtenveldt): NEW DEVICE
Argent, semy of pine trees couped vert.
The name was registered April 1999.
This is clear of Eldred Ælfwald (Argent, semy of pine trees couped vert, a tankard gules foamed Or.) by RfS X.1 Addition of Primary Charges -- Armory does not conflict with any protected armory that adds or removes the primary charge group.
(L) Theresia aus Elp (Sundragon): NEW NAME and DEVICE
Or, a tortoise vert and a chief gules.
T(h)eresia is the Latin form of the female given name T(h)eresa; it is probably most popular post-period with the admiration of Maria Theresia of Austria (Withycombe, p. 276). aus Elp, "from Elp," a small town on the northern border of Germany, associated with an amber trade route of the 14th C. (Times Atlas of Archeology European and Bronze Age, p. 115-map).
This is probably clear of Katerina Volkovna (Or, a turtle vert within a bordure purpure ermined Or.) There is 1 CD for difference of the secondary charge used (chief vs. bordure), and a second CD for the tincture and semy treatment of the bordure. The submitter should probably make the tortoise a little less shy and have its legs more fully extended.
(L) Willahelm Franz Kesselheim (Sundragon): DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Kingdom, August 01
Sable, in fess three firearrows argent.
The name appears in the 1 August 2001 Atenveldt LoI.
This is a complete redesign of his original submission.
Please consider for inclusion in the 1 October 2001 Atenveldt Letter of Intent:
(L) Aileann inghean Fhrancaigh (Barony of Atenveldt): NEW DEVICE
Argent, three trees couped and on a chief vert, three mullets inverted argent, overall a bordure sable.
Because the use of a chief and bordure combination was used only very rarely in period armory, this combination of charges was prohibited by the CoA in December 1991.
Barring conflicts, a bordure could be used if the line of division were moved down and this became Per fess vert and argent, three mullets inverted in fess and three trees couped counterchanged, a bordure sable. Also, this seems to be free of conflicts even if the bordure were removed entirely.
(L) Angus MacGregor (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME and DEVICE
Azure, on a bend sinister Or three bull's heads (skulls?) palewise azure.
The name is Anglicized Scottish. Before going any further, however, it is in direct conflict with Angus MacGregor, registered in May 1992. Adding a locative (of Edinburgh, of Dundee, of Pentland Firth), or a descriptive (the Bold, the Fair) would clear the conflict.
If the charges on the bend sinister are meant to be bull's heads, they might benefit from the addition of ears; as drawn now, they have a certain skeletal quality (yes, he can have a bull's skull, but the design should either be a head or a skull clearly). This design is in conflict with Richard Andreivitch of Rus (Azure, on a bend sinister Or an estoile sable.) and Denis Flaxenhelm (Azure, on a bend sinister Or, a goblet upright sable.). There is 1 CD for differences between the tertiary charges (one black object vs. three blue heads), but nothing more. There is also a conflict with Katerina Arondel (Azure, on a bend sinister cotissed Or three swallows volant fesswise, wings elevated and addorsed, azure.), with 1 CD for the complex line on the bend sinister; I don't think there is an additional CD for the tertiaries, as there is only a difference in the type of charges, not in the number or the tincture. If the submitter would consider a semy field (Azure, ermined Or, would be the most likely, although a semy of annulets–reminiscent of the rings in bull's noses?), the semy would provide the second CD to clear all of these conflicts.
(L) Branwen of Werchesvorde (Sundragon): NEW CHANGE OF DEVICE
Per pale azure and gules, a raven, dexter talon raised, within an annulet argent.
The name was registered September 1992.
The submitter already has a device registered to her, Per pale gules and azure, a bend and a bend sinister both humetty argent fretted with a mascle, a bordure Or. If the new device is registered, the currently-held one should be released.
While birds only have two legs and therefore cannot recreate the postures of quadrupeds, this would've blazoned so much easier as passant! This is clear of Raven Silverthorne, Quarterly sable and gules, a raven between three roses argent., with 1 CD for the field and 1 CD for changes to the secondary charges.
(CT) Benedict Saint-Jean Eldridge (BoAtenveldt): NEW NAME CHANGE from Cyngen ap Gwenwynwyn
The submitter's original name was registered in May 1994. The name is English and French. Benedict is dated to 1273 with this spelling (p. 46, Withycombe). Saint-Jean is found with a host of other saints' names in Dauzat, p. 355. (Although submitted as St. Jean, it seems that period naming practice is to completely write out Saint.) Eldridge is an undated form of Aldrich (pp. 4-5, Reaney and Wilson); Eldrigge is dated to 1227.
If anyone knows the submitter, can they ask what he wishes to do with his original name, if his new submission is registered?
(L) Dougal O'Sirideain (Granite Mountain): DEVICE RESUBMISSION from Laurel, July 2000
Sable, a plate charged with a Celtic cross gules between three Thor's hammers argent, those in chief heads to center.
The original submission (Per saltire sable and gules, on a plate a Celtic cross conjoined to a Thor's hammer gules.) was returned for violation of RfS XI.4 and difficulty in identifying the conjoined charge.
(CT) Friðrekr berserkr (Sundragon): NEW DEVICE
Per pale argent and gules, a cross formy and a bordure counterchanged.
According to the Pictorial Dictionary, the cross formy's arms could be straight or concave, the concave form being the earlier depiction of the charge. The center can also come to a point, as is done in the blazon. However, we feel that this is in conflict with Emeric Wendel, Per pale argent and gules, a Maltese cross counterchanged. There is 1 CD for the addition of the bordure, but with the splayed arms found in both crosses formy and Maltese, we don't feel that there is sufficient difference between crosses to gain the additional CD. Flipping the tinctures (Per pale gules and argent...) presents a similar conflict. However, might the submitter consider Quarterly argent and gules, a cross formy and a bordure counterchanged.? This seems to be clear of conflict.
(CT) Ianuk Raventhourne: NEW BADGE
Argent, a single-horned anvil reversed and a bordure argent.
While it is stipulated that this is a badge for "House Anvil," no payment was received for registration of the household name. Furthermore, RfS V.2.b.i.--Conflict of Names with the Same Number of Elements., suggests that the household name is in conflict with the registered name for Anvil Pursuivant from the Kingdom of Meridies (the household may use the name in an informal, unregistered fashion). The submitter's name is currently in submission, however, so there is a name to associate the armorial submission with.
This is probably clear of William Beornsson (Argent, a blacksmith's anvil and a chief wavy sable.) There is 1 CD for the difference between the secondary charges (chief vs. bordure), and 1 CD for orientation of the anvil. However, it is in conflict with
Richard of Black Iron (Argent, a single-horned anvil reversed sable, enflamed proper.) There is one CD for the addition of the bordure, but enflaming a charge with the period "tongues of flame" probably does not provide the necessary second CD. [A precedent made by Da'ud in December 1991: "There is not [a CD] for enflaming the blade of the sword [used as a primary charge]."] The submitter might consider using a semy on the field (or even on the anvil itself) to gain the sencd CD–estencely, a semy of sparks, might be an appropriate idea.
(L) Katerina d'Amboise (BoAtenveldt): NEW DEVICE
Purpure, a sheaf of three arrows Or and on a chief sable fimbriated five estoiles Or.
The name was returned by Laurel, July 2001.
Even if the name had been registered, there is a problem with the device. A peripheral charge like the bordure, the chief and flaunches cannot be fimbriated. The lady might consider an Or chief with sable estoiles, or an Or field with purpure arrows. She could have this design, maintaining the chosen tinctures and charges (and without conflict) as Per fess sable and purpure five estoiles in fess and a sheaf of three arrows Or. (A fess between the upper and lower parts of the field wouldn't be needed.) Once again, these are very heraldic arrows, with very prominent heads and fletchings, which characterize arrows.
(CT) Marceau de Valmont (BoAteneldt): NEW BADGE
(fieldless) A fleur-de-lys purpure surmounted by a pair of rapiers crossed in saltire Or.
(L) Ragnar Skin-Illustrator (BoAtenveldt): NAME and DEVICE RESUBMISSION
Counter-ermine, a dragon segreant contourny azure, maintaining in sinister foreclaw a brush and in dexter foreclaw a human skull argent.
Although I have never received a full submissions packet for either the name or the device (I think the fees are covered in the large submission fee check accompanying this packet), I have heard that this is a resubmission (there is no file for him in the Aten archives). Even now, I have only one color copy of the device submission form, on an obsolete form, with no personal information on it, just the emblazon–no name packet at all (I do have information on his name floating about, but this is NOT how a resubmission, or a submission for that matter, is done).
The device violates the Rule of Contrast. In S.C.A. armory, contrast supersedes any period use of fur, such that a charge placed upon a fur must have adequate contrast with the field of the fur. Since the background tincture of counter-ermine is sable, there is a contrast problem with an azure charge. This would be eliminated if ermine or erminois were used, barring conflict. Bear in mind that the maintained charges will not count any difference toward avoiding conflict. I had also heard that the brush being used is an artist's brush, but it doesn't match the artist's brush seen in the Pictorial Dictionary (it looks like a toothbrush, with bristles collected at one end and to the side of the handle). If this is a type of period brush, some documentation will have to be provided to demonstrate it as such.
(L) Raven Mayne: NEW DEVICE
Argent, in pale a gout de sang and a tick, on a chief sable, a decrescent argent.
Commentary, please. As a rule, "tiny" creatures were not used as heraldic charges (they were not important enough, unless they exemplified a particular virtue, like the industrious bee). Can a tick be seen clearly enough to be portrayed as an heraldic charge? If so, is this an accurate depiction?
The following submissions were registered by the S.C.A. College of Arms at its July 2001 meeting:
Achatius Holtsete. Name and device. Per saltire argent and gules, a rattlesnake erect and coiled contourny sable.
Submitted as Actaeus Holt-Säte, it is not clear that the mythological Attican king Actaeus was entirely human. We have changed the given name to a German one, dated to 1528 in Talan Gwynek, Medieval German Given Names from Silesia. We have also changed the byname to a form dated to 1266 in both Bahlow, Dictionary of German Names and Brechenmacher, Etymologisches Wörterbuch der Deutschen Familiennamen.
Adrienne Noël de Lorraine. Name.
Aífe Fael ingen Brénainn. Name and device. Per saltire gules and vert, in pale two wolf's heads cabossed and in fess two paw prints argent.
Submitted as Aoife an Faol Brénainn, she requested an authentic 11th-12th century Irish name. We have therefore changed the name to match that time period.
Alexander le Browere. Device. Per pale sable and vert, a serpent involved in annulo Or.
This is clear of Weyland O'Faoláin, Per fess embattled vert and Or, in chief a torque, opening to chief, Or. There is a CD for the field and a second for changing the type of the primary charge. Alexander has a letter of permission to conflict with Vladimir Vitalievich Volkov, Per pale argent ermined purpure and purpure, an annulet Or.
Amya Flanagan. Name and device. Gules, on a pale endorsed argent two fir trees vert.
Arabella Thorne. Name and device. Or, a plume gules between flaunches purpure.
Caiterina of Ballyhooly. Device. Vert, a hurst of fir trees within an orle of trefoils argent.
This is clear of the badge for the Freehold Silverwood (Wyndylyn Leanb na Doinneann), Vert, a hurst of blasted birch trees argent. There is a CD for adding the secondary charges and a second for the difference between a fir tree and a blasted birch tree.
Camilla Maria Hazelwood. Name and device. Or, a chameleon vert perched upon a threaded needle bendwise sinister inverted sable, a bordure invected vert.
Cecelya le Nadlere. Name.
Ciarán Breathnach. Name.
Czendes Sadany. Device. Azure, a dragonfly Or, a chief embattled argent.
Darius Xavier Drake. Name.
Eoghan MacFhearguis. Device. Or, two dragons involved in annulo vert winged sable.
Fergus MacInnes. Name.
Finbarr Mathgamain mac Conchobair. Name and device. Azure, four claymores inverted interlaced as a fret interlaced by a claymore inverted Or.
Submitted as Fionnbharr Conchobhar na Mathanan, he requested an authentic 11th-12th century Scots/Irish name. We have therefore changed the name to a pre-1200 Irish form.
The name is not strictly authentic, however: while the first byname is a word meaning bear it is unattested as a byname. It is widely used as a given name, however, and there was some concern that this combination would be mistaken as having a double given name. Still, there are several Gaelic elements that occur as both given names and descriptive bynames, and because of this we feel comfortable registering this one.
Four Mountains, March of the. Name and device. Argent, on a bend cotised azure four mountains couped palewise argent, in sinister chief a laurel wreath vert.
Gabrielle la Broderesse. Name.
Gile Gareth Greywolf. Device. Azure, a wolf's head erased affronty between three compass stars argent.
Giliana Spencer de Windermere. Name and device. Quarterly argent and azure, on a bend sable between two roses four roses argent.
Gudrun Bogsveigir. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Hrefna karlsefni. Name (see PENDS for device).
Submitted on the LoI as Hrefna Karsefni, we have corrected the typo in the byname and changed it to lower case.
Jean Pierre Détoile. Name (see RETURNS for device).
John Turner of Kingsbridge. Device. Azure, on a bend sinister gules fimbriated between six wheels three goats passant palewise Or. Juliana McBride. Name (see RETURNS for badge).
Lefled Willoughby. Name and device. Lozengy argent and sable, on a pile vert a willow tree eradicated Or.
Submitted as Lleoffled Willoughby, we have changed the given name to match the submitted documentation.
The device is clear of the Order of the Willow (Kingdom of the Middle), Purpure, a willow tree eradicated Or. While a pile conflicts with a chausse, in that Lleoffled's device would conflict with the hypothetical Gules chausse argent, a willow tree Or, it is not reblazonable as a chausse field. Thus we do not have to compare it against the Order of the Willow as if it were a chausse field, so the device is clear by RfS X.2, Difference of Primary Charges (pile vs. tree).
It is also clear of Finn Silverfox, Vert, chausse chequy argent and sable, a fox dormant argent; because it has a chausse field we do have to compare the two as if they both have chausse fields and as if they both have piles. In the former case they are clear by RfS X.2. In the latter case they are clear with a CD for the field (lozengy argent and sable versus checky argent and sable) and a second CD for substantially changing the type of the tertiary charge.
Madok the Strong. Name and device. Per bend sinister sable and lozengy argent and gules, in dexter chief three bulls heads cabossed argent.
Manus Syme. Name and device. Quarterly Or and vert, a cross argent, in dexter chief three cinquefoils one and two vert, a chief embattled per pale vert and Or.
Please instruct the submitter to draw the chief larger.
Marceau de Valcourt. Name and device. Or, a rapier bendwise sinister purpure a bordure purpure semy-de-lys bases to center Or.
Submitted as Jean François Marceau de Valcourt, the submitter asked that if the College could find justification for Marceau as a given name we would drop the first two given names. Marceau is found in Morlet, Dictionnaire étymologique des noms de famille, and while it is undated there it is also a normal diminutive of Mark, which is dated to c. 1500 in Bordeaux. We have therefore made the requested change.
Morwenna teg Caernarvon. Name.
Submitted as Morwenna teg y Caernarvon, no documentation was provided for the article y ("the") in the locative byname. We have dropped it.
Muirenn ingen Thigernáin. Name and device. Per bend sinister azure and vert, a bow reversed argent.
Submitted as Muireann ingen Thighearnáin, she requested an authentic pre-1100 Irish name. We have therefore changed the name to match that time period.
Odo Drake. Name.
Pawel Ptasznik and Melisande Ptasznik. Joint Badge. (Fieldless) A squirrel rampant vair.
Rhys ap Gwylym Tatershal. Name change from Rhys ap Gwylym.
His former name is released.
Rowan of the Titans. Name change from Rowan O Curry.
The byname is already registered to her husband. Her former name is released.
Sean Holden. Device. Argent, a wooden Halifax Gibbet proper bladed sable.
A Halifax Gibbet is a early form of guillotine.
Tacye Okelly. Name and device. Purpure, two chevronels and on a chief argent three irises purpure.
Tavotai Koghunnoxaiyin. Name and device. Per fess Or and gules, an enfield rampant counterchanged.
Thomas MacPherson. Name and device. Argent billety gules, three trowels sable.
Tomaso Floreano. Name and device. Or, in bend sinister a wooden mallet bendwise inverted proper and a wood-handled chisel bendwise inverted proper bladed argent, a bordure sable.
Submitted as Tomaso de Floreano, the byname is not locative. Rather, Floreano comes from the Latin cognomen Florianus; as such the locative particle is inappropriate. The name does not mean of Firenze, as the submitter thought, but ,since he specifically asked us not to change the name to a form using Firenze, we have simply dropped the particle.
Widsith Devona of Exmoor. Reblazon of badge. Per bend sinister sable and vert, a snowy egret rising wings displayed argent.
Ysabella Scarlet. Name.
The following submissions were returned by the College of Arms, July 2001, for further work:
Ealasaid Nic Shuibhne and Robert de Bere. Joint Badge. Gules, a sealion erect argent tailed Or.
Conflict with Kieran Storn, Gules, a seabull rampant argent, tail nowed Or. There is a CD between the two charges, but while there is substantial difference between a bull and a lion, there is not a substantial difference between the two sea-beasts as the sea tails sharply reduces the difference between the two. Therefore they are not clear by RfS X.2, Difference of Primary Charges.
Gudrun Bogsveigir. Device. Quarterly gules and azure, a wolf's head erased within a bordure argent.
Conflict with Conrad of Northfield, Sable, a wolf's head erased within a bordure argent, with only a single CD for changing the field.
Jean Pierre Détoile. Device. Per pale sable and argent, two estoiles of eight rays counterchanged.
Conflict with Dermid Ross, Per pale sable and argent, in fess two mullets of four points saltirewise counterchanged. As estoiles and mullets are not substantially different, this cannot be clear via RfS X.2, Difference of Primary Charges. There is a CD for the type of charges, but nothing for orientation as the points of the mullets saltirewise occupy the position of some of the rays of the estoile.
Juliana McBride. Badge. Azure, a hare rampant Or sustaining an arrow inverted argent.
Conflict with the badge for Sten av Norden, Azure, an arrow inverted demi-barbed to sinister argent. There is not a CD for the changes to the arrow, therefore there is only a single CD for adding the hare.
Katerina d'Amboise. Name.
Unfortunately, Catherine de Medici, the Queen of France and mother of King François II, had her favourite residence in the castle of Amboise. Furthermore, she ended the first round in the major religious wars of 16th century France by the Edict of Amboise. Because of this, the castle is closely enough associated with the queen that the combination implies identity with her and is therefore presumptuous.
The following submission was pended until the CoA's November 2001 meeting:
Hrefna Karlsefni. Device. Per pale Or ermined purpure, and purpure, a feather argent.
Electrum found several badges belonging to various English nobility, to wit: John of Gaunt, A plume argent with a gold chain along the quill; Thomas Duke of Gloucester, A plume argent with a garter along the quill; John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, A plume argent, the quill company argent and azure.
While the people themselves are important, it is less clear that their badges are. Electrum notes, however, that the general theme of individual English royalty using a single white feather during this time might be enough to make at least one of the badges important enough to protect. We invite your commentary on the subject.
I remain,

Brisbane floods in Bellbowrie
My experience of the Brisbane Floods in 2011
bellbowrie
Where to start with this one. This event is easily the most catastrophic disaster I have ever been personally involved in (I'm excluding a few software projects). We'd been hearing reports of floods up north for a few weeks prior to this. My mother, and three of my siblings live at Maryborough, which was recently engulfed in flood waters, with some pretty impressive pictures shortly there-after appearing on Facebook. I could nearly track the waters progress by Facebook photo updates alone. My high school stomping ground of Beerwah wasn't long after. Pictures of water crossing the streets, and places where I'd never seen water while I'd lived there, were posted. Then came Toowoomba.
From the images coming out of Toowoomba, it was ravished by a deluge, with torrents of water roaring through the main street, taking all in its path. At work, we joked, wondering how this was possible; Toowoomba is high up on top of a hill. What we later learned is Toowoomba is pretty much nestled inside a crater on the top of a hill (and thinking about the drive in, it makes sense), so the waters hit the hills and flowed down to the bottom, the main street, where it came together before heading down the mountain, taking everything in its path: Tree, vehicles, homes, towns.
Still the heavy rains continued and the Wivenhoe Dam, built after the disastrous Brisbane floods of 1974, to ensure Brisbane wouldn't get a repeat, started to fill. Only a few years ago the Dam was at 8% capacity and we were all worried about it going dry and Brisbane running out of water. No such fear now, as dam levels surged (no pun intended) past 100%. Wivenhoe has a capacity of 200%, 100% for 'normal' and another 100% capacity for flood mitigation. Scheduled releases of water had to be made to ensure the dam did not get to 200% and more. These releases helped increase the volume of water in the Brisbane river.
Driving to work on Tuesday morning I noticed water starting to appear in places where it definitely should not. Place where I'd not seen it before. My wife and I agreed that if the rain persisted we'd come home from work, to ensure we could get our kids from daycare and not be cutoff from them and our homes. We knew that Moggill Rd goes under in heavy rain and have been lucky not be cut off once before.
By 9:30am it was obvious the rain wasn't easing, and Day care phoned parents asking them to collect their children, so staff who didn't reside in Bellbowrie could get home before the were cutoff. I left work and headed in to get the kids, finding the wet roads like peak hour, as many other had the same idea. I thought I'd duck in the shops and get some bread and milk, just to be sure. When I got the local shopping centre, I saw something I'd never seen before. Every single car-park was full and cars were circling, looking for a space. I decided to aborted. We'd been shopping on Sunday and had enough stocks for the week. I grabbed the kids and my Wife (from the bus stop, so she didn't have to walk in the pouring rain) and went home.
By midday I thought it prudent to get some supplies. We had no Pepsi Max! and I went down to Coles again. I'd also been checking BOM and noticed the Brisbane River at Moggill was set to peak at 22m, 7m higher than the radio had said 3 hours earlier. I did a quick guestimation and figured that'd easily but the shops under water and food might become scarce. Coles wasn't any better. All the Bread and fresh fruit and vege was gone. I did managed to get some milk and an Ice Break though.
Initially I thought the buying at Coles was panic buying; that people were overreacting. I was considering that Coles would go under so we'd be without access to food supply for a few days. I didn't really get that Coles would be out of action for a while, weeks and perhaps months.
I also didn't consider the power would go off for days because of flooding, and until flood waters subside. Something that could be over a week based on reports at the time.
I didn't think of what would happen when the gas in my BBQ ran out.
Initially I was thinking I'd have 3 or 4 days at home, stuck inside, watching TV and playing Video games. Sounded OK to me.
The rest of the afternoon was spent with one eye on the TV news reports and the other on twitter and online news, with 612 Brisbane streaming live coverage through my PC; the vision being streamed of Toowomba - flabbagasting.
I was a little concered, given my position on the Brisbane River, west of the majority of Brisbane, closer to the Wivenhoe.
Still, for me it was something new and I was yet to appreciate the devastation to come. I was nearly entertained by it all. Sad I admit .

Today, chiropractic care is used by many, but is still something a lot of people don't know much about.
Chiropractic care can be the answer for many things. In addition to treating back pain, a chiropractor can treat injuries, chronic pain, headaches and musculoskeletal disorders.
Here's what to know about chiropractic care.
Shoulders pain can affect anyone. It doesn't matter the age. The great thing about shoulder pain is that it is treatable.
Sciatica pain can be tough to endure. Sciatica is when the sciatic nerve, which runs from the buttocks to the bottom of each of leg, is being pressured.
Posture is important and not only because of appearance. It helps alleviate back pain and the long-term effects that may have on overall health.
The lack of effective pharmaceutical treatments for autism has people searching for other types of treatments. Complementary treatments such as chiropractic care are commonly used today.
A chiropractor isn't only a back pain solver. Chiropractic care treatment focuses on restoring balance to the central nervous system which is commonly responsible for pain and disorders. This makes it an ideal treatment for the many effects of aging.
Are you experiencing abdominal pain? Feeling pain in your stomach can be uncomfortable enough to make you look for a fast solution.
Thousands of people in the U.S. have died from prescription opioid abuse. According to the CDC one in four patients who get prescribed opioids for pain relief struggle with addiction.
Back pain is commonly caused by a sudden injury to the ligaments and muscles that support the back. These sudden injuries can be caused by improper lifting of heavy objects.

Multiple Injuries in 16-Car East Point Crash
by cambreassociates | Dec 18, 2022 | Car Accident, Current News, Rear-End Collision, WSB-TV 2
A Monday morning chain-reaction crash in East Point resulted in injuries to several people, including a 3-year-old child. According to a report from WSB-TV 2, the East Point Police Department received a call that there had been an accident on I-285 north between Washington Road and Camp Creek Parkway involving a semi-truck. However, when responders from the East Point Fire Department arrived at the scene, they discovered 16 vehicles involved in the accident, and several of the occupants from the vehicles had injuries. Five people were transported to the hospital, including the child, whose injuries were described as serious. The accident also resulted in four northbound lanes of I-285 being closed for a time, resulting in heavy traffic in the area.
A chain-reaction crash — also commonly referred to as a pile-up — happens when three or more vehicles collide in a succession of events that generally begins with an accident involving one or two vehicles. Other vehicles traveling through the area are unable to stop in time to avoid the initial accident, resulting in additional vehicles crashing. These accidents often occur on freeways, where there can be many cars traveling in the same direction throughout multiple lanes, often at a higher rate of speed that makes it difficult to come to a quick stop when the drivers realize there is a hazard ahead. There have been several chain reaction crashes on interstates throughout the U.S. through the years that have involved more than 100 vehicles.
Proving fault in a chain-reaction crash can be difficult. An experienced car accident lawyer from Cambre & Associates can help. Let us evaluate your claim for free, tell you more about the process of seeking compensation for the expenses and impacts of your injury, and explain to you the services we can offer to help you through this process.

DOJ's new guidance has crypto community up in arms
Coinlist Press Team
The DOJ recently published its Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework, but many in the crypto sphere think it still lacks clarity
Yesterday was a busy news day for cryptocurrency crime – ZDNet released the results of their investigation detailing how criminal gangs had stolen more than $22 million in crypto funds. The criminals targeted users of the Electrum wallet app by abusing Electrum's open ecosystem to send users fake update requests that actually installed malware.
Meanwhile, in the UK, the infamous Tesco blackmailer, Nigel Wright, was sentenced yesterday to 14 years in jail. After placing contaminated jars of baby food on the supermarket shelves, he wrote to Tesco demanding they pay him a £1.4 million ($1.8 million) ransom in Bitcoin.
However, many crypto projects and exchanges have also felt the long arm of the law in recent months, not because they were purposely breaking the rules, but because they didn't know what the rules were.
This has often been down to the old question of whether a token sold in an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a security, and therefore falls under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC has used the Howey Test to determine that it is a security, to the cost of Kik and Telegram, which were both sued by the SEC for their ICOs.
So, some regulatory clarity was certainly needed and the US Department of Justice (DOJ) tried to provide just that with their recently published 83 page Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework.
The report starts out on a positive note, stating: "At the outset, it bears emphasizing that distributed ledger technology, upon which all cryptocurrencies build, raises breathtaking possibilities for human flourishing." However, the rest of the document suggests that the DOJ sees cryptocurrencies as more of a threat than an opportunity.
The report details many case studies of crimes that have been or could be committed with cryptocurrencies, including illicit purchases, extortion and supporting terrorism. In future, any cryptocurrency or protocol that could be used to launder funds anonymously will be a potential target for legal action.
The release of the report hasn't been welcomed by many in the crypto community, with one Twitter user saying it "… sounds straight out of 1984 or Brave New World. The Feds want to "protect" us. But let's face it: it actually means they want to control bitcoin."

KRIKORIAN: Stensrud knows when to hold 'em
Who's been the busiest person in Long Beach the past six weeks?
Impossible to answer, but, for sure, a gentleman named Jerry Stensrud has been the most frazzled, if not most engaged.
You see, Stensrud is a casino host for the Commerce Casino where the Los Angeles Poker Classic has been going on since Jan. 19.
It is a wildly popular event that has drawn thousands of competitors from every state in the union and from dozens of countries from around the world.
And it was Stensrud who came up with the concept for it 19 years ago.
So the Naples resident – he resides there with wife Rose – always has played an active role in an affair that became part of the World Poker Tour in 1999 and that concludes Thursday.
"Our first No Limit Hold 'Em event in January had a $335 buy-in and drew 4,179 players," Stensrud said. "The winner came away with $183,455. Not bad for a $335 investment.
"And our final competition – the $10,000 buy-in – will be filmed for TV on Thursday. It began last Friday with 661 entries. The field was cut to 63 going into Monday's play. The winner is guaranteed of making $1,654,120 and the runner-up $908,873. Not a bad week's pay."
Stensrud long has been a respected figure in the poker industry – he himself has been a lifelong card player who still plays regularly – and has been employed at the Commerce Casino for 22 years.
"We have more high-limit games at our place on a daily basis than all the Las Vegas casinos have put together," said Stensrud, who graduated from California High in Whittier. "We are the biggest card casino in the world with 247 tables."
The Commerce Casino routinely draws a lot of well-known people, including the likes of Jerry Buss, Ben Affleck, Manny Pacquiao, Orel Hershiser, James Woods, Jack Haley, etc.
Why, on Monday morning, actress Jennifer Tilly – she received an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress in 1994 in Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway" – was participating in a $2,000 buy-in No Limit game at sprawling establishment off the Santa Ana Freeway in the City of Commerce.
But perhaps the most extraordinary person to play cards at the Commerce Casino is a fellow named Herman Blumenthal, who was born 103 years ago.
"Herman plays at least four times a week with three or four other senior citizens," Stensrud said. "They play Low-Ball, which a lot of players used to play in Gardena a long time ago. Herman's a pretty amazing guy. He had a birthday the other day, and they brought him a cake at the table."
Jerry Stensrud started laughing.
"I just hope I'm still playing at 103," said Stensrud, who's a mere 68.
Are my eyes deceiving me, or did Andrew Bynum and Ron Artest perform Sunday against Oklahoma City as though they belonged on the All-NBA defensive team?
NBA insiders have been telling me for years that many of the league's officials detest Kobe Bryant, and, for sure, Messsrs. Steve Javie, Eli Row and Kevin Fehr, certainly didn't alter such a perception during the Lakers-Thunder match.
Bryant didn't go to the foul line once even though he played 37 minutes and even though he was hacked on several obvious occasions in the late stages of the game by Thunder defenders.
James Franco might be a terrific actor and might be quite handsome, but, oh, was he a fabulous bust Sunday evening as the Academy Awards co-emcee with Anne Hathaway. A total bore who said absolutely nothing worth remembering.
Nothing irritates me more than being stuck in the right lane in Belmont Shore behind a slow-moving cyclist who thinks he has an ancestral right to irritate me and other drivers just because some faceless government bureaucrat a while back decided to have the street painted green.
Catch 22: If Dan Monson's Long Beach State basketball team goes on to win the Big West Tournament and manages to pull an upset or two in the NCAA Tournament, then Monson inevitably will receive an offer from a school in need of a first-rate coach that he won't be able to refuse.
Heard former A-6 Naval bombardier navigator B.B. (Fibber) McGee, whose wife is named Fay and not Molly, held quite a bash Sunday at his newly purchased Marina Pacifica condo.
Once known as the Merry Prankster of Belmont Shore, McGee moved to Vancouver five years ago to reunite with his better half after an 8 1/2 year estrangement.
"Our marriage has never been better since we got back together," he said proudly.
Clearly, ol' B.B. has found the secret to marital bliss, although I'm not sure many couples will be willing to follow suit and take an 8 1/2-year break from each other to reach such a euphoric state.

"DWG" redirects here. For other uses, see DWG (disambiguation).
DWG (from drawing) is a proprietary binary file format used for storing two- and three- dimensional design data and metadata. It is the native format for several CAD packages including DraftSight, AutoCAD, BricsCAD, IntelliCAD (and its variants), Caddie and Open Design Alliance compliant applications. In addition, DWG is supported non-natively by many other CAD applications. The .bak (drawing backup), .dws (drawing standards), .dwt (drawing template) and .sv$ (temporary automatic save) files are also DWG files.
DWG (denoted by the .dwg filename extension) was the native file format for the Interact CAD package, developed by Mike Riddle in the late 1970s, and subsequently licensed by Autodesk in 1982 as the basis for AutoCAD. From 1982 to 2009, Autodesk created versions of AutoCAD which wrote no fewer than 18 major variants of the DWG file format, none of which is publicly documented.
In 1998, Autodesk added file verification to AutoCAD R14.01, through a function called DWGCHECK. This function was supported by an encrypted checksum and product code (called a "watermark" by Autodesk), written into DWG files created by the program. In 2006 Autodesk modified AutoCAD 2007, to include "TrustedDWG technology", a function which would embed a text string within DWG files written by the program: "Autodesk DWG. This file is a Trusted DWG last saved by an Autodesk application or Autodesk licensed application." This helped Autodesk software users ensure that the files they were opening were created by an Autodesk, or RealDWG application, reducing risk of incompatibilities. AutoCAD would pop up a message, warning of potential stability problems, if a user opened a 2007 version DWG file which did not include this text string.
In 2008 the Free Software Foundation asserted the need for an open replacement for the DWG format, as neither RealDWG nor DWGdirect are licensed on terms that are compatible with free software license like the GNU GPL. Therefore, the FSF placed the goal 'Replacement for OpenDWG libraries' in 10th place on their High Priority Free Software Projects list. Created in late 2009, GNU LibreDWG is a free software library released under the terms of the GNU GPLv3 license. Despite being currently under development, it can read most parts of DWG files from version R13 up to 2004.
Also in 2008 Autodesk and Bentley Systems agreed on exchange of software libraries, including Autodesk RealDWG, to improve the ability to read and write the companies' respective DWG and DGN formats in mixed environments with greater fidelity. In addition, the two companies will facilitate work process interoperability between their AEC applications through supporting the reciprocal use of available Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
On 13 November 2006, Autodesk sued the Open Design Alliance alleging that its DWGdirect libraries infringed Autodesk's trademark for the word "Autodesk", by writing the TrustedDWG watermark (including the word "AutoCAD") into DWG files it created. Nine days later, Autodesk's attorneys won a broad and deep temporary restraining order against the Open Design Alliance. In April 2007, the suit was settled, essentially on Autodesk's terms, with Autodesk modifying the warning message in AutoCAD 2008 (to make it somewhat less alarming), and the Open Design Alliance removing support for writing the TrustedDWG watermark from its DWGdirect libraries. The effect of the temporary restraining order and subsequent consent decree was to render the Open Design Alliance's DWGdirect libraries, from one point of view, incapable of creating DWG files that are 100% compatible with AutoCAD. Others point out that the failure of "100% compatibility" means only that loading such a drawing triggers an essentially irrelevant warning message when the file is opened in AutoCAD.
In 2006, Autodesk applied for registration of US trademarks on "DWG", "DWG EXTREME", "DWG TRUECONVERT", "REALDWG", "DWGX", "DWG TRUEVIEW". As early as 1996, Autodesk has disclaimed exclusive use of the DWG mark in US trademark filings. Out of these applications, only TRUSTEDDWG has been registered as a trademark by the USPTO. The REALDWG and DWGX registrations were opposed by SolidWorks. The DWG EXTREME, DWG TRUECONVERT, and DWG TRUEVIEW trademark registration applications all received substantial resistance, with the USPTO examining attorney requiring Autodesk to disclaim exclusive use of DWG as a condition for their registration.
In a non-final action in May, 2007, the USPTO examining attorney refused to register the two DWG marks, as they are "merely descriptive" of the use of DWG as a file format name. In September, 2007, Autodesk responded, claiming that DWG has gained a "secondary meaning," separate from its use as a generic file format name.
As of June 22, 2008, all of Autodesk's DWG-related trademark registration proceedings were suspended by the USPTO, pending disposition of trademark opposition and cancellation petitions Autodesk had filed against the Open Design Alliance and Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corporation. The USPTO office actions notifying Autodesk of this noted that Autodesk was not the exclusive source of files with the format name DWG, and Autodesk does not control the use of DWG by others, either as a trademark or as a file format name, among other points.
In 2006, Autodesk filed an opposition with the USPTO to the trademark registration of DWGGATEWAY by SolidWorks. Autodesk subsequently filed a petition for cancellation of SolidWorks' trademark registration for DWGEDITOR. In both cases, Autodesk's basis was that they had "been using the DWG name with its CAD software products since at least as early as 1983." The opposition and cancellation actions were consolidated, and suspended pending disposition of Autodesk's US District Court suit against SolidWorks.
In early 2007, Autodesk petitioned the USPTO to cancel the Open Design Alliance's "OpenDWG" trademarks, claiming that they had been abandoned. This cancellation action was suspended pending disposition of Autodesk's US District Court suit against SolidWorks.
In 2008, Autodesk sued SolidWorks in US District Court, arguing that through its marketing efforts, the term "DWG" has lost its original generic meaning and taken on a secondary meaning referring specifically to Autodesk's proprietary drawing file format, and therefore any use of "DWG" in competitive products amounted to trademark infringement. In January, 2010, on the morning that trial was scheduled to begin, Autodesk and SolidWorks settled the suit, with SolidWorks acknowledging Autodesk's trademark rights for DWG, surrendering its trademark registrations for its DWG related projects, and withdrawing its opposition to Autodesk's DWG-related trademark registrations.
In April, 2010, Autodesk and the Open Design Alliance settled their suit, with the Open Design Alliance agreeing to cancel its DWG-based trademark registrations and cease use of DWG and DWG-based trademarks in its product marketing and branding. Because there was no adjudication in either case, the agreements between the parties are not binding upon the USPTO. In March, 2010, the Office of the Deputy Commissioner for Trademark Examination Policy at the USPTO determined that evidence submitted by the Open Design Alliance two years earlier was relevant and supported a reasonable ground for refusal to register DWG as a trademark.
DWG is merely descriptive of applicant's goods under Section 2(e)(1) of the Trademark Act for two reasons: (1) DWG is a recognized abbreviation for "drawing," and (2) .dwg is a file format used for computer-aided design (CAD) drawings made both with applicant's CAD software and others' CAD software.
Autodesk appealed the decision. The USPTO affirmed in 2013 their refusal to recognise DWG as a trademark. Despite this, Autodesk websites still claimed DWG as a trademark after the decision.
In late 2014 Autodesk again lost, this time at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The judge dismissed all their arguments.
In 2015 Autodesk's website has a section title About DWG in which they try to make a distinction between .dwg as a file format and the DWG technology environment.
As neither RealDWG nor DWGdirect are licensed on terms that are compatible with free software licenses like the GNU GPL, in 2008 the Free Software Foundation asserted the need for an open replacement for the DWG format. Therefore, the FSF placed the goal 'Replacement for OpenDWG libraries' in 10th place on their High Priority Free Software Projects list. Forked in late 2009 from libDWG as GNU LibreDWG project it can read most parts of DWG files from version R13 up to 2004. But as the libreDWG library is released under the GNU GPLv3 it can't be used by most targeted FOSS graphic software, like FreeCAD, LibreCAD and Blender, due to a GPLv2/GPLv3 license incompatibility. Due to this struggles in September 2013, the original project LibDWG re-forked its code from LibreDWG. A GPLv2 licensed alternative is the libdxfrw project, which can read simple DWGs.
FreeCAD is a free and open-source application that can work with the DWG files by utilizing the proprietary Teigha file converter for .dwg and .dxf files from the Open Design Alliance.
LibreCAD is a free and open-source 2D CAD application that can open DWG & DXF files using your own library.
Teigha Viewer is a freeware stand-alone viewer for .dwg and .dgn files built on the Teigha development platform from the Open Design Alliance. It runs on Windows, Linux, MacOS and Android operating systems.
Autodesk DWG TrueView is a freeware stand-alone DWG viewer with DWG TrueConvert software included, built on the same viewing engine as AutoCAD software. The freeware Autodesk Design Review software adds a possibility to open DWG files in Design Review to take advantage of measure and markup capabilities, sheet set organization, and status tracking.
DWG files can be displayed online by ShareCAD, a free online viewer. This service also offers a free IFrame plug-in for viewing DWG files at a site.

Q: Why does Dead Men Tell No Tales have a different title in the UK? Promotional posters and websites for cinemas in the UK are referring to the new Pirates of the Caribbean film by the subtitle "Salazar's Revenge".
What is the reason for this change? Is it related to a title with a similar name in the UK like what happened with the Avengers film clashing with an old television series?

A: The subtitle "Salazar's Revenge" is being used for this film in a number of countries worldwide.
Films are often re-titled for local markets for various reasons:

*

*The title doesn't translate well into the local language, or contains an obscure reference. For example "Live Free or Die Hard"
was known as "Die Hard 4" outside the USA because the original title
references the motto of the state of New Hampshire, a reference that
would not be understood in other countries. In this case, the old
proverb "Dead men tell no tales" may be unfamiliar in non-English
speaking countries, and/or there is easy translation that carries the
same sense of meaning.

*Sensitivity to recent events. Films, music and events are often renamed in the wake of wars, terrorism and major catastrophes to
avoid negative associations and accusations of insensitivity. For
example, in the early 1990s British group "Massive Attack"
temporarily shortened their name to "Massive" to avoid controversy
due to the Gulf War. The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" were
originally marketed as "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" in the UK due to
the perceived negative and violent associations of the word "ninja".

Given that the proverb "dead men tell no tales" is fairly well known in the UK,  it's possible that the name "Dead Men Tell No Tales" was considered too controversial and potentially insensitive for the UK market (maybe related to the recent history of terror attacks in the UK and Europe) and therefore the alternative international title was used instead.

A: Besides the two possible reasons for name changes that Nathan mentions in his answer (avoiding obscure references and sensitivity to recent events), there is a third possibility: legal disputes over the trademark. Someone else in the UK may have claimed the phrase "Dead Men Tell No Tales" as their intellectual property, leading Disney to fall back to the alternate title it had already developed.
Unfortunately, I cannot find any definite information to say whether this is or is not the case. But I have found a 1938 British film called Dead Men Tell No Tales, so if there was a trademark dispute, that film might be the source.

As a side note, the earliest reference to the UK name change that I can find is this Yahoo! Movies post from last October.

A: First time here; I discovered this thread via Google whilst trying to find the answer of the film's renaming myself. Having not found anything conclusive, I did some more digging and believe I've identified the answer.
If you look the film up on IMDb and go into the page listing international release dates and titles, one needs only a basic understanding of language to deduce that Salazar's Revenge is the title everywhere except North America and Portugal.
In other words, DMTNT is the exception, and SR the rule. It doesn't take a genius to deduce, then, that Salazar's Revenge must be Disney's preferred title for the film, but something stopped them calling it that in those two territories noted above.
To put it another way: the original question here, and on other similar posts around the web, is looking at the name the wrong way around. Salazar's Revenge is the main title, with Dead Men Tell No Tales being the renamed, secondary choice.
So why would Disney not use SR in those territories? A quick Google provides pretty compelling possibilities.

*

*In the case of Portugal, the country's 100th Prime Minister, in office for the incredibly long period of 1932 - 1968, was named Salazar.

*For North America, a man named Ken Salazar was Secretary of the Interior under Barack Obama from 2009 to 2013, and was to play a key role should Hillary Clinton have won the Presidency in 2016.
There are references to Dead Men Tell No Tales having bean POTC 5's working title since at least 2013, if not earlier, so it doesn't seem an unfair assumption that, feeling they were unable to use the preferred subtitle for the film, they simply stuck with what it was already being referred to as.

I have no association with Disney and can't say in complete certainty that my theory is correct, but it seems compelling enough to me to be worth sharing. I hope someone finds it helpful, or at least of interest.

A: If you've seen the teaser trailer to Pirates of the Caribbean 5 you'll know that Salazar is the film's primary villain, played by Javier Bardem. The film will follow Salazar and his ghost pirate crew as they attempt to kill every pirate in the caribbean, but there's a special target on the back of one Captain Jack Sparrow.
There's no specific word on why the change was made though in reporting the news Den of Geek theorizes that it has to do with what trade marks are available. If there was difficulty getting the trademark for Dead Men Tell No Tales in the UK because of similarly titled projects, then Disney would change the name so they could secure a trademark on a different name. The name change isn't only happening in the UK. The name change also covers the film's release in France, Italy, and Spain.
There's one significant positive to the name change in Europe. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is a mouth full. It's a really long title that just doesn't flow very well when you're trying to discuss it with people. Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge loses the connection to the refrain that you hear repeated throughout the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, but it's a heck of a lot easier to say.


UCF WINS. Jose Soto, Bobby Kiser, Jim Crone and Jim Walters hit home runs as the University of Central Florida (10-4) defeated Florida International University (16-4), 10-5, in college baseball. Soto, who had five RBIs, hit a three-run homer in the first inning and had a two-run double in the second. He has hit safely in all 14 games this season. UCF also defeated FIU Saturday night. . . . Todd Miller slugged a three-run homer in the top of the ninth to give Southern Mississippi (4-6, 1-2) an 11-8 victory over Florida State (11-2, 2-1) in a Metro Conference game in Tallahassee. . . . The Orlando Touchdown Club's spring barbecue is tonight at 6:30 and will feature Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden. It will be held at Meyer Recreation Center off McLeod Road.

Q: SVG Matching stroke-dashoffset from two different paths I have two different paths where I'm animating the stroke-dashoffset, which gives the drawing effect. There's two buttons that increase/decrease the stroke-dashoffset.
What I'm trying to achieve is by matching the filled paths aligned vertically throughout the whole progression. Is this even possible?

Currently in the demo, the stroke-dashoffsets from both paths don't match since the jagged path has greater length.
I would like the avoid the solution where it involves placing a main path on top of the other two, since it would get rid of the "drawing" animation look on the jagged line and both paths have rounded ends.

const btnAdd = document.querySelector(".btn-add");
const btnSub = document.querySelector(".btn-sub");
const line = document.querySelector(".line");
const jaggedLine = document.querySelector(".jagged-line");
const lineLength = line.getTotalLength();
const jaggedLineLength = jaggedLine.getTotalLength();

line.setAttribute("stroke-dasharray", lineLength);
jaggedLine.setAttribute("stroke-dasharray", jaggedLineLength);
line.setAttribute("stroke-dashoffset", lineLength);
jaggedLine.setAttribute("stroke-dashoffset", jaggedLineLength);

let progress = 0;

const updateSVG = () => {
  line.setAttribute("stroke-dashoffset", lineLength - progress);
  jaggedLine.setAttribute("stroke-dashoffset", jaggedLineLength - progress);
};
btnAdd.addEventListener("click", () => {

A: There is an SVG attribute pathLength which allows us to set the path length.

The pathLength attribute lets authors specify a total length for the path, in user units. This value is then used to calibrate the browser's distance calculations with those of the author, by scaling all distance computations using the ratio pathLength/(computed value of path length).
This can affect the actual rendered lengths of paths; including text paths, animation paths, and various stroke operations. Basically, all computations that require the length of the path. stroke-dasharray, for example, will assume the start of the path being 0 and the end point the value defined in the pathLength attribute.

MDN
If we set the same pathLength to both the animation become simple.

text:
Leucadendron brunioides var. flumenlupinum, the Graafwater conebush, is a flower-bearing shrub and variety of Leucadendron brunioides, which belongs to the genus Leucadendron and forms part of the fynbos. The plant is native to the Western Cape where it occurs from Graafwater to Aurora and Eendekuil.

The plant sprouts again after it has burned. The seeds are stored in a toll on the female plant and only fall to the ground when the flower has ripened and is spread by wind. The plant is unisexual and there are separate plants with male and female flowers, which are pollinated by insects. The plant grows mainly in moist habitats such as river beds.
