New Delhi: President's Rule in Jammu and Kashmir was on Monday extended by another six months, with the Parliament giving its nod amidst the government's assertion that it would hold the Assembly polls in the state by this year end as and when the Election Commission (EC) takes a decision in this regard.
The Rajya Sabha on Monday adopted a statuary resolution for extending the President's Rule in J&K from July 3. The resolution was passed by the Lok Sabha on June 28.
J&K is under Central rule since June 2018, when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pulled out of the coalition government with Mehbooba Mufti's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Upper House also passed the amendment bill of the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act, 2004.
Replying to the day-long debate in which 27 members took part, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the government was not happy to extend the Central rule in J&K. He also said that the government did not want to govern the state through remote control, but this measure had to be taken because of certain difficulties.
He said the Assembly elections could not be held with the Lok Sabha polls because security forces expressed their inability to provide security to the candidates whose number would have been around 1,000.
"In Jammu and Kashmir, it was not possible to hold Assembly elections with the Lok Sabha polls because 1,000 candidates and their rallies were to be provided security. The security forces expressed their inability as theyr wer deployed all over the country due to the Lok Sabha polls.
According to Shah, security forces, which were already thinned out due to elections across the nation, would have been further burdened to provide cover for these candidates' neighbourhood and village rallies along with that of their senior party leadership.
Taking a swipe at Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad for saying that the Congress government had held elections in the state, Shah said, "I don't decide the poll timing. It is the EC which decides."
"Unlike you, we don't decide poll timings. If we do that, you will say that we are controlling even the EC," the Home Minister said, adding: "There is no drought of state governments for us. We have 16 state governments across the country. Only the security concern was the reason. It was the security forces and the state administration's suggestion not to hold polls now."
Taking a dig at the Congress, Shah said the Modi government wanted to hold simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly polls all over the country, and not just in Jammu and Kashmir. "But you only are not agreeing. If you agree, I will bring the bill tomorrow," he said.
Shah also said that he felt happy that all the members of the House "considered Jammu and Kashmir as part of the country".
"Jammu and Kashmir can never be ceded away from India. The Narendra Modi government is committed to pursue its policy of 'zero tolerance' against terrorism relentlessly and to the uniform and equal development of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh," Shah said.
He said the Modi government has ensured that all people-centric development schemes of Central and state governments reach every village of Jammu and Kashmir even under the President's Rule.
"This manifests the spirit of 'Jamhooriyat, Insaniyat, Kashmiriyat'. Modi government's commitment to the policy of 'Jamhooriyat, Insaniyat, Kashmiriyat' should not be taken to mean that the forces who want to divide India will be spared. They will be given an appropriate response in their own language," Shah added.
The Home Minister also said that Congress must explain the historical blunders committed by them.
"We must learn from history. The Congress must answer for the historical blunders committed by them — why did the (Jawaharlal) Nehru government go to the UN despite Kashmir's accession to India? Why did he agree for a plebiscite that is in any case out of question today," he asked.
He also said that India has continued with a single approach towards the Kashmir, "but if the problems persist even after 70 years, it becomes imperative for us to review and adopt a new approach. We are all for development but there will be no place for separatists and terrorists."
Shah, while moving the resolution, said that President's Rule in J&K will end on Tuesday and the Central government did not have any option but to extend it as elections were not possible in the state right now.
"The government of the state fell in June 2018 due to lack of a majority. In November the Assembly was dissolved. The EC, after considering various factors, decided that elections will be held in the state by the year-end. So the Central government did not have any option but to extend the President's Rule," Shah said.
The Home Minister also moved the amendment bill of Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act, 2004, to extend the 3 per cent reservation in educational institutions and government jobs to those living within 10 km of the International Border (IB).
Earlier, the provision of 3 per cent reservation was available only to the youth living within 6 km of the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. Now, this provision will be applicable to people living near the International Border as well.
Shah said this has been a long-pending demand of the population living near the International Border, as they have been facing the brunt of cross-border firing in the state.
The amendment, he added, will benefit about 3.5 lakh people living in 435 villages in three districts — Kathua, Samba and Jammu.
Shah said people of these three districts were feeling discriminated against. "There is a feeling among the people of these three districts that their interests are ignored, he said.
"People living along the LoC and IB face similar hardships. The Pakistani army repeatedly violates the ceasefire. People have to relocate and the schools remain closed. This effects education," Shah added.
The Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act, 2004, provided for vertical reservation in direct recruitment, promotion and admission in different professional courses to various categories — Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Socially and Educationally Backward Classes, residents of backward area (RBA), residents of areas adjoining actual Line of Control (ALoC) and weak and under privileged classes (social castes), along with horizontal reservation to the ex-serviceman and physically challenged persons.
However, the reservation benefits were not extended to the persons residing in the areas adjoining the International Border.
In February, the Union cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister had approved the proposal of Jammu and Kashmir government to issue the 'Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019,' by the President of India.


For many of us it´s strawberry season right now. The pleasure of eating a sweet juicy strawberry on its own, or covered in whipped cream is something very special. And of course we can mix them into cakes, turn them into jam…well, the possibilities are almost endless.
Sometimes though you fancy a bowlful of strawberry deliciousness but you need it NOW. Here´s a little dish of strawberries that´s not too naughty and quick to pull together and hit the spot last night when we fancied a little midnight feast (hence the dark shot)!
Stir the sugar (if using) into the yogurt, pile the strawberries on top, splash on the liqueur, drizzle the honey over then find yourself a nice quiet spot to sit and enjoy a little indulgence and a moment of peace all to yourself.
I'm a real fan of those wonderful "alcools blancs" like framboise, poire william, quetsch and the rest. They transform simple fruit desserts into something magical.
And with a little glass of something sparkly, some of the liqueurs make bubbles into something very special!
Well..I just had a bit of a craving, and sometimes you have to give in!
I reckon most sweet liqueurs would be pretty exciting with strawberries!
Simple and good…and I have strawberries growing on my balcony.
Oooh – that is exciting! We had some here for a couple of years but they went a bit wild and I decided I wanted more space for my tomatoes!
This sounds lovely and is particularly handy to me as it accommodates the odd handful of strawberries that I can pick at this time of year. I dream of having buckets of them for jam, but this is consolation indeed!
It´s true, when you grow them you rarely get a kilo at a time!
That sounds unusual and delicious – will have to give it a go!
Yum! I picked up probably our last pint of strawberries for the year today. And Steve ate them all before I had a chance to do anything with them!
Sometimes plain and simple is best!
Everything tastes better with a little splash of liqueur or wine 🙂 A lovely summer dessert!
Definitely – and it was perfect for the heat we´re having!
Fabulous! I all to often fall into that I want it NOW category.
I agree, it´s one of my favourite drinks and I don´t feel guilty mixing it up here as we can rarely get French champagne (soooo expensive) but have amazing cava!
Fruit with booze is always good – booze with booze is even better!
It was…a summer midnight feast!
Most people seem to agree over the framboise!
¡Es la época de las fresas!
Hi T, Oh yummy!! I must stop visiting your blog late at night. I think it would be better if I just popped over and raided your fridge instead.
My fridge is often quite scary as it´s generally quite full…I´d have to show you all the little secret things I have tucked away inside it!
oh wow! I want one!! I've never heard of vanilla sugar, I suppose I could use regular sugar yes? I bet the honey just rounds out the sweetness huh? I just bought a new box of strawberries, most likely less sweet than yours but at least I can get sorta fresh ones.
Vanilla sugar is just regular sugar with a used vanilla pod (for eg if you´ve made custard, you just dry it off and then pop it into a jar of sugar and leave it for a few weeks). But yes, regular sugar would be fine too!
The instructions for the flag counter were sent to me by the lovely Chgo John, so I will dig them out and send them to your e-mail address. I don´t think he´ll mind…but thanks will be due to him and not me when you sort it out!
It seems we all want the added extra!
Best to wait methinks….strawberries out of season are never as good as they look…or use something more seasonal and dream of summer!
I think D-Man should have considered himself very lucky to find clumps of strawberry flavoured sugar to add to his coffee!
Oh how lovely. Simple and just wonderful. I love berry season.
You have so many lovely and inspiring recipes on your site…will have to go back to them!
Exactly – sometimes it´s just to hot to cook "properly"!
Totally yummy! And just a teeny bit naughty!
Yes, just naughty enough to be fun!
Doesn´t get too much simpler..but it was gorgeous!

LEXINGTON CEMETERY
Acres: 170
Bella Morte Tombstone Rating: 3 Tombstones
We have been aware of Lexington Cemetery for some time, however, owing to the scant and less-than-stellar reports we were able to obtain, we decided not to travel there despite the fact that it is a mere hour's drive from one of our favourite Kentucky haunts, Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville. However, this Spring, following an inspirational visit to Cincinnati's Hillside Chapel, we decided it was finally time to investigate Lexington Cemetery.
An interesting tidbit… The cemetery was established in 1849 and its first burials were that of Robert S. Boyd and his infant son. Mr. Boyd, a previous posthumous resident of the Episcopal Cemetery in Lexington, had died during the cholera epidemic of 1833. His business partner, A.B. Colwell, purchased the Lexington plot and had Mr. Boyd and his infant son reinterred there on the 2nd of October, 1849. Information regarding the date and cause of Mr. Boyd's infant son are unavailable.
Another interesting tidbit: The original entrance to Lexington Cemetery, now sadly lost to the ages, featured an eastern and western gate. Above the eastern gate, the following words were inscribed: "Lexington Cemetery, Founded A.D. 1849." Inscribed above the west gate: "The City of the Dead." Sad that modern sensibilities demand that people (at least in the U.S.) be shielded from death and its attendant realities. Our society no longer tolerates the candor and forthrightness displayed by that inscription.
In regard to monuments, Lexington certainly does not compare to its Kentucky neighbor to the west, Cave Hill. Although Lexington does contain some lovely memorials, they certainly are not as plentiful as we prefer. By far the largest on the grounds is the Clay Monument, the place of final repose for the mortal remains of Henry Clay Sr. -- known as "The Great Compromiser" --and his wife, Lucretia Hart Clay. Volumes have been written about this political leader and orator and this is certainly not the place to reprise the efforts of others. At any rate, our focus is primarily on death and what happens to one's remains thereafter. Aside from fascinating facts and tales of the offbeat and unusual, we are generally content to leave tales of the living to be recounted by others.
Back to the Clay Memorial…
Upon his death on 29 June, 1852, a group of Mr. Clay's friends and admirers determined to build a suitable memorial to his memory. After selecting a design from approximately 100 proposals and raising the necessary funds, the cornerstone of the monument was laid on 4 July, 1857. Completed four years later in 1861, the Civil War caused the memorial to lay empty until the 8th of April, 1864, when the remains of Henry Clay and those of his wife, Lucretia, (who had joined her husband in death just two days earlier) were finally laid to rest there.
The history of the Clay Monument from that day forward has been rather turbulent. During a violent storm in 1903, Mr. Clay's image, which surmounted the memorial's towering spire, was decapitated. The image of Mr. Clay's body remained standing while his head plummeted 130 feet to the ground. What a sight that must have been! Just seven years later, the replacement image was struck by lightning, shattering the right leg and severing the right hand. Replaced once again, the statue, along with the rest of the monument, fell prey to the ravages of time and weather until, in 1976, a complete renovation was undertaken. Thirty-five years later, the memorial is in what we would term "acceptable condition," though additional work would certainly not be uncalled for at this time.
When visiting Lexington Cemetery, please take time to approach the crypt at the Clay Memorial's base and peer through the gates to see the sarcophagi of Henry and Lucretia. Although we believe they originally lay side-by-side, Lucretia's vault has now been oddly placed at her husband's feet, lying perpendicular to his sarcophagus.
Inscribed on Henry's tomb are his own words:
"I can with unshaken confidence appeal to the Divine Arbiter for the truth of the declaration that I have been influenced by no impure purpose, no personal motive ; have sought no personal aggrandizement ; but that in all my public acts I have had a sole and single eye, and a warm, devoted heart, directed and dedicated to what in my best judgment I believe to be the true interests of my country."
On a tablet in the crypt is written: "I know no south, no north, no east, no west."
Make certain not to miss the astonishing American Basswood nearby in the Clay Monument plot as well. A plaque there designates the colossal tree as having been alive at the time of the signing of our country's Constitution.
Though not nearly as grand as the Clay memorial, the Ockerman stone near the cemetery entrance also commands attention. Carved in the shape of an enormous globe --complete with the continents -- the monument bears the inscription: "The World Was Their Classroom."
Another notable monument on the grounds is the touching tribute to one Emmal Fisk. His stone, depicting the young boy holding two birds in his overturned hat, bears the following inscription:
Emmal Fisk
Charles H.
Maggie E. Fisk
Born in Covington, KY.,
September 3, 1867,
entered into life
His body is laid in this
spot at his own request
Oh, to know Emmal's story…
In addition to ground burials, mausoleums and columbaria, those not inclined to more traditional methods of laying mortal remains to rest may avail themselves of Lexington's Scattering Garden. This lovely location features black wrought iron gates, attractive landscaping, gardens and memorial benches along the perimeter. A bronze plaque just outside the garden reads:
I am a part of the garden, and it is a
part of me. Come and stand quietly
in the spring as a new season awakens,
in the fullness of summer, the beauty of
fall, or the silence of winter. And
leaving, take with you the peace that
is mine.
E.I. "Buddy" Thompson
Being good taphophiles, we looked up some information regarding Mr. Thompson. As it turns out, he was one of the founding members of Lexington and Central Kentucky's premiere auction company – Thompson & Riley. A far more interesting tidbit, however, is that Mr. Thompson is also the author of Madame Belle Brezing, the only full length book on Lexington's most infamous Madame. For movie buffs, Ms. Brezing is said to be the prototype of Belle Watling in "Gone With the Wind." (Having never seen the movie – and having no interest in ever doing so -- we are not sure if that is a positive or negative distinction).
Ms. Brezing, who died of cancer at the age of 80, is buried across the street from Lexington in Calvary Cemetery. Her gravestone bears the amusingly tongue-in-cheek inscription: "Blessed are the pure in heart." (Note: Ms. Brezing's grave, for those who care to see it, may be the best reason for going to Calvary as it has very little to recommend it).
All in all, our visit to Lexington was enjoyable; however, it is not the type of burying ground we would recommend one traverse great distances to visit. If you are in the area, though, it will certainly make for a pleasant visit.

Les Métrobus sont des parcours à haute fréquence de transport en commun par autobus du Réseau de transport de la Capitale, à Québec. Les fréquences de passage varient de 5 à 15 minutes d'intervalle. Ces parcours, circulent principalement sur des voies réservées à travers les axes routiers majeurs de la ville, et ne s'arrêtent qu'aux stations spécialement désignées et aménagées à cette fin. La séquence de numéros 800 à 899 est réservée aux parcours Métrobus. Le modèle Nova LFS Artic est utilisé sur ces lignes.

Historique
L'idée de parcours circulant en voie réservée entre la 41 Rue Est et Sainte-Foy est introduite en 1977. En 1990, un « plan global de voies réservées » est prévu afin d'améliorer l'efficacité du service et de contrer la chute ininterrompue de l'achalandage. En 1991, on annonce une refonte du réseau autour de ces voies réservées, sur les boulevards Laurier et Saint-Cyrille, de même que la 1 Avenue : le réseau Métrobus est né. Les parcours originaux devaient relier l'intersection Boulevard Laurier/Avenue Lavigerie, à Sainte-Foy, avec les terminus de Beauport et de Charlesbourg. Au lancement, on reliera plutôt le terminus Pie-XII, à Sainte-Foy, au Vieux-Beauport (800) et au terminus Charlesbourg (801). Dès l'annonce, le service est menacé par le manque de financement et l'opposition. L'introduction des Métrobus constitue néanmoins la « relance du siècle » pour le réseau du transporteur, et les parcours Métrobus sont tout de même mis en service le . Ils sont d'abord en opération du lundi au samedi, avant de voir leur horaire bonifié et leurs parcours prolongés en 1993, puis en 2010.

Les parcours à haute fréquence 12, 60, 87 et 7 sont successivement intégrés au réseau Métrobus entre 2008 et 2016, remplacés par les parcours 802, 803, 804 et 807.

Parcours actuels

800

Le Métrobus 800 quitte le terminus des Chutes-Montmorency vers le terminus de Marly, dans le quartier de la Pointe-de-Sainte-Foy. Il traverse les arrondissements de Beauport, de La Cité-Limoilou, puis de Sainte-Foy-Sillery-Cap-Rouge.

801
Le Métrobus 801 quitte le terminus de la Faune, dans le quartier Notre-Dame-des-Laurentides, vers le terminus de Marly, dans le quartier de la Pointe-de-Sainte-Foy. Il traverse les arrondissements de Charlesbourg, de La Cité-Limoilou, puis de Sainte-Foy-Sillery-Cap-Rouge.

802
Le Métrobus 802 quitte le terminus Beauport, dans le quartier du Vieux-Moulin, vers le terminus Belvédère, dans le quartier Montcalm. Il traverse les arrondissements de Beauport et de La Cité-Limoilou.

803
Le Métrobus 803 quitte le terminus Beauport, dans le quartier du Vieux-Moulin vers le terminus Les Saules, dans le quartier Duberger-Les Saules. Il traverse les arrondissements de Beauport et Les Rivières.

804
Le Métrobus 804 remplace l'ancien parcours 87 entre l'arrêt Wilfrid-Caron/Racine et Sainte-Foy/Centre. Les arrêts qui étaient desservis par le parcours 87 entre l'arrêt Petit-Vallon/Irving et Wilfrid-Caron/Racine sont desservis par la bonification du parcours 84. Ces changements sont entrés en vigueur le .

807
Le Métrobus 807 remplace l'ancien parcours 7 entre la place D'Youville et le terminus Marly. Les arrêts qui étaient desservis par le parcours 7 dans le Vieux-Québec sont desservis par la bonification du parcours 11.

Projets d'expansion du réseau

801
Le projet de réseau structurant du RTC prévoit la déviation du parcours 801 sur Hochelaga et Duchesneau.

805
Le projet de réseau structurant du RTC prévoit un parcours 805 entre le Centre Vidéotron et Sainte-Foy Centre.

806
Le projet de réseau structurant du RTC prévoit un parcours 806 entre le Pointe-de-Sainte-Foy et Charlesbourg via le boulevard Charest.

807
Le projet de réseau structurant du RTC prévoit un prolongement du parcours 807 jusqu'à la gare du Palais.

No more sadness or sorrow. Now is not the time to feel sorry for ourselves. It IS the time to move forward with much speed and grace.
Make that list of things that you want to do, have or be. Let God have the list and be careful not to micromanage or intervene in any way. Giving instructions on how the universe can fulfill your desires is the best way to cancel all of them!
Make those wonderful decisions and step back. Be certain to keep open, for all avenues may be used to fulfill your desires. The moment you close down or question the process you will push the outcome further and further away. Or, you may cancel it out all together!
You are loved! You are God's precious child! We came here at this time to experience this awakening. There are no more strings except for the ones that YOU insist upon keeping!
Do you wonder at the potential for all of the souls coming in now? There is a large amount of babies coming in. Why? What is their future going to include? How much more enlightened and evolved will their lives be?
When you count your blessings they probably pale in comparison to the blessings that these souls are bringing with them. The good news is that we are still here! We may also share in the power of enlightenment available this year!
Start today. Make your list of must haves and allow God to fulfill that list. Stay open and utilize the immense enlightenment that is flooding our world. Hang on, the flood gates of beauty and grace are fully open!
Become that person that you have always dreamed of and look at your fellow humans and know that they also came here to be a part of this time of divine manifestation!
It is like being a member of a very elite club. You, your loved ones and all others are here to be given the tools and opportunities for ascension! Do not question your ability to become your higher self. There is nothing holding us back but the limitations of our own minds.
Move forward at an amazing pace and when you experience a lull, clear your mind and accept your divinity yet again. Push yourself back into the flow as often as needed.
There is truly no limit to what you may achieve in the name of God.

Q: Windows 10 file selector: How do I specify details view as the default? Whenever the user needs to select a file - for loading into a program, or saving, or any other reason - the file selector dialog ensues. In Windows 10, it is like a miniature Windows Explorer (or File Explorer as it used to be called) with a filename mask (e.g., *.txt) and a filename field.
The bulk of the dialog shows the files in the current folder in Medium icons view. I prefer the Details view, so the files can quickly be sorted by clicking on one of the column headings. To change the view, I have to pull down a menu and drag a slider - additional mouse clicks that I'd rather avoid. However, my choice will be forgotten next time a file selector is open.
Can I change the file selector default view to Details or anything else?

A: Just like folders in Explorer, the first time a folder's contents are displayed in a Common Dialog (Open/Save/SaveAs), the icon mode and other view settings are determined by the default view for the FolderType assigned to the folder. This may be the standard Windows defaults or custom defaults set via Apply to Folders. Those view settings (and any modifications) are then saved alongside the saved folder view used by Explorer:

The saved views are specific to a single folder, so the icon mode could change if you navigate from a folder that saved an Icon view to a folder that saved a Tiles view. If folders don't seem to retain their views, you may have hit the max (5000) and need to delete all saved views to restore normal behavior. This PowerShell code can be copied to a PowerShell window to query the number of saved views:
((gp "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU").Nodeslots).count

So if your dialogs are defaulting to icon view, I'm guessing they might be using the Pictrues FolderType. If you don't want to set the default view for all folders uisng the Pictrues FolderType, you're stuck with changing the dialog to Details after it's opened. But:

*

*You might find it quicker to right-click in the background and select View > Details:

*Once you've set a folder's dialog view to Details, it should be remembered.

A small PowerShell script could modify existing saved views to ensure they're in Detials mode, but since you said your changes don't seem to be remembered, I'm waiting to hear your reply regarding the saved view count.
EDIT:
The following code will list the FolderTypes that have had a custom view set via Apply to Folders:
$Defaults = 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Defaults'
$FT      = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes'
(gi $defaults).Property | Select @{N = 'ID'; E = {$_}}, @{N = 'Name'; E = {(gp "$FT\$_").CanonicalName}}

Here's a list of the FolderType IDs that Explorer queries under HKCU...\Streams\Defaults:
HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Defaults
ID                                     Name
--                                     ----

Select -expand PSChildName -unique |
Select @{N = 'ID'  ; E = {$_}},
       @{N = 'Name'; E = {(gp "$FT\$_").CanonicalName}}

A: To set the default view for File Explorer in Windows 10:

*

*Launch File Explorer (Windows Key + E)

*Select the View Tab and select the desired view layout

*Click the File Tab and select the "Change Folder and Search Options"

*In the Folder Options window select the View tab

*Click on the Apply to Folders button

*Accept the "Do you want all folders of this type to match this folder's view settings" dialog.

*Click OK to exit the Folder Options window

Note, depending on how a program is written these default settings might not be used, but they will apply to the OS File Explorer.

«Роме́о и Джулье́тта» — рок-опера Владимира Калле по классическому сюжету Шекспира. Режиссёр и автор либретто — Владимир Подгородинский. Написана для Санкт-Петербургского театра «Рок-опера», впервые исполнена 14 ноября 2010 года в ДК Газа в Санкт-Петербурге.

В основу либретто положен перевод Бориса Пастернака, музыка написана петербургским композитором, заслуженным артистом РФ Владимиром Калле. Постановка в театре «Рок-опера» осуществлена совместно с Санкт-Петербургской государственной академией театрального искусства (СПбГАТИ), при финансовой поддержке Санкт-Петербургского комитета по культуре. В спектакле задействованы артисты театра и студенты курса «актёр театра "Рок-опера"» СПбГАТИ.

Авторы постановки:
 Режиссёр-постановщик — заслуженный деятель искусств РФ Владимир Подгородинский
 Хореограф — заслуженный деятель искусств РФ, лауреат Государственной премии РФ Сергей Грицай
 Художник-постановщик — Галина Корбут
 Художник по костюмам — Ирина Долгова.

По утверждению режиссёра, спектакль создавался под впечатлением известного фильма Франко Дзефирелли. В музыке отражены творческое наследие П. И. Чайковского и С. С. Прокофьева, неаполитанские музыкальные традиции. Перевод Пастернака выбран, как более подходящий для жанра рок-оперы. Сюжет пьесы Шекспира полностью сохранен, хотя спектакль достаточно сильно отличается от классических постановок трагедии Шекспира. По замыслу автора либретто, акценты в спектакле несколько смещены в сторону отражения конфликта отцов и детей. Смерть главных героев представлена как игра слепого, бессмысленного рока; в состав персонажей введены две богини рока Парки, довлеющий рок символизирует и пастор Лоренцо. Декорации просты и лаконичны, костюмы соответствуют исторической традиции.

На афишах жанр спектакля обозначен как «мюзикл».

Действующие лица
Ромео, Джульетта, Меркуцио, Тибальт, Сеньор Капулетти, Сеньора Капулетти, Сеньор Монтекки, брат Лоренцо, послушник, Парки (богини рока), жители Вероны.

When looking to invest, it's important to consider more than just proximity to school zones, flight paths and public transport, as there is now another top priority for tenants.
As the partner of a body corporate management company, one of the most common issues I deal with is noise complaints, particularly from those living in inner-city hubs. Consequently, before purchasing an investment property it is important for buyers to view the property at different times of day to detect common noises you wouldn't typically hear upon first inspection.
In the past, we've had people purchase an apartment above a railway and then complain about the noise from the railway. This goes to show that it's common to dismiss a noise after hearing it once, however when you (or your tenants) hear it every day, multiple times, it's a very different story.
Noises like this can deter prospective tenants from renting your investment property, and easily turn a good investment into an unprofitable one.
Another source of noise common to apartments is shared facilities. Many apartments are built around a pool or tennis court; which are attractive in-house facilities, but entice a number of families with noisy children.
Investors should carefully consider the type of tenant they would like to attract. If you are looking for reliable family renters, then these shared facilities may be appealing, but the accompanying noise may deter empty nesters and retirees.
Investors should also consider the apartment's proximity to neighbours. If the apartment shares four walls, is located on the ground level, or positioned next to the elevator, you may experience more noise.
When you live in an apartment, it is easy for sound to travel through walls, around fences and directly into the bedroom of a restless sleeper. Over the years we've handled many complaints about flushing toilets, pets, parties, arguing and excessively vocal 'intimate time'. As such, prospective tenants are more likely to choose an apartment that shares less walls, and therefore offers more privacy and peace and quiet.
Finally, it's important when you buy into an apartment complex that you know the rules. When you buy an apartment (regardless of whether it is an investment property), you become part of a community, which has rules and by-laws that cover your rights and responsibilities.
These by-laws govern what you can and can't do, and the way you are expected to conduct yourself. It is important that you are comfortable with these rules, and that you pass them onto your tenant, so make sure to read and understand them before signing any contracts.


Bouncy seat with vibrating function: This has been invaluable to us, for a few reasons. First, the bouncy seat is perfect to set the baby in when I need a shower; I just bring the seat into the bathroom with me, place it on the floor, turn on the vibrating function, and hop in the shower. That way, I can still hear the baby if he cries, and the baby can hear me (I've been known to talk to and coo at the baby while I'm showering in order to keep him content!).
Secondly, the bouncy seat has been a staple in our nighttime routine for the past month or so. When L awakens in the middle of the night, I hop up to feed him and change his diaper. Most of the time, nursing time + a fresh diaper + a few minutes of cuddling with Mama = a sleeping baby in less than an hour. Yet sometimes, L wakes up and isn't too keen on going back to sleep right away. One night, in a moment of desperation, I brought the bouncy seat into our room and set it on the bedroom floor, right next to my side of the bed. I placed L into the bouncy seat, strapped him in (he was swaddled, as he always is at nighttime), and turned on the vibrating function. BAM – he was asleep! Since then, L's been known to sleep in the bouncy seat the entire night, if he's fussy (or if Mama and Daddy are too tired to try and get him to sleep in his crib). I do have a goal to try and "wean" him off of the bouncy seat (at least for sleeping purposes) in the next few weeks, but it's been wonderful while we were adjusting to waking up in the middle of the night to care for L's needs!
Lastly, when we've stayed with my parents for a night or two, L is such a big fan of his bouncy seat at home that he also likes the bouncy seat at Grandma and Grandpa's house. My parents have a bouncy seat that also has a vibrating function, and I swear, this helps him to feel safe and comfortable sleeping in a place that isn't his own home! If you are traveling, the bouncy seat is also super portable, and doesn't take up as much room in the car (or where you're staying!) as a pack 'n' play (which we also have, and which L has slept in a handful of times).
There are a TON of different models out there – I believe that our bouncy seat is from TJ Maxx, but I've linked above to some popular models on Amazon.
Boppy pillow: Ah, the infamous nursing pillow. I'm a big fan of the Boppy, especially since L was born via c-section! Using the Boppy to help to position L to nurse has been super helpful, especially right away, when my surgical incision was still healing. I've also been known to position L in the Boppy, swaddled, for his morning nap – one of his favorite places to nap!
Baby swing: Jord's coworkers were super generous and gifted us a swing with lots of bells and whistles, such as different sound settings, three different swing positions, and five different speed settings. L spends time in the swing each day, and he enjoys the music as well as the motion. He's been known to sleep in the swing for naptime, too!
Diaper sprayer: For those of you interested in or planning to cloth diaper, we've found that BumGenius's diaper sprayer toilet attachment has been such a nifty tool (and a worthy investment!). We use the diaper sprayer to spray L's poop into the toilet prior to washing the diapers.
SwaddleMe brand swaddle blankets: If you asked Jord and I separately what baby item has been the most useful to us, we would both probably say the SwaddleMe brand swaddle blankets. We received two blankets from our good friends as a baby gift, and we used one for the first time when we were in the hospital. Needless to say, we LOVED it. The velcro helps to keep our squirmy baby's arms tucked in, and he loves, loves, LOVES the secure, tightly-wrapped feeling. Plus, it's WAY easier (and quicker!) to swaddle a squirmy baby with a SwaddleMe blanket than a normal blanket – the velcro makes it so easy! We highly recommend these swaddle blankets.
Aden & Anais brand swaddle blankets: Our second-favorite swaddle blankets are these A&A swaddle blankets. We love that they are made of lightweight muslin, which has been perfect for L, since he was born in June. We love the fun patterns (we got a zoo animals four-pack so that the blankets will be gender neutral for future kids; our pack has lions, monkeys, elephants and a plain white blanket). The blankets are GIGANTIC, so they are perfect for swaddling even the chubbiest or tallest of babies. They've become a staple in our diaper bag!
Avent manual breast pump: The final item on my list is my breast pump. I went back and forth for what seemed like FOREVER when trying to choose a breast pump. Because I'm blessed enough to be at home with L full time, I knew that I didn't need a fancy-pants electric pump. I knew that I wanted to use the Avent bottles for L (should he need to use bottles), because they are BPA free and come highly recommended, so I looked at the Avent breast pumps first. I decided to get the manual pump after a friend of mine, who is also a stay-at-home-Mom, said that a manual pump worked well for her.
I've been very pleased with the Avent pump thus far. When my milk "came in" when we were still in the hospital, I pumped to relieve engorgement. I also pumped the majority of the time for the first few days when we were home from the hospital, because L was jaundice, and our doctor suggested that we move a lot of milk through his system to try and alleviate the jaundice. After L's jaundice subsided, I stopped pumping until earlier in July, when I began pumping after L's morning feeding to try to build up a milk supply in our freezer. I will be going back to school in the fall (I'm only taking one class), and Jord will be watching L while I'm in class three days per week, so we wanted to have milk available for Jord to feed L, should the baby be hungry while I'm in class.
The pumping process was emotional for me at first, because I really desperately wanted to exclusively breastfeed L. But after L's jaundice subsided, I was able to do just that. But I have to say, pumping in the mornings to build up a supply has been wonderful; for example, Jord and I were able to have a date night for our wedding anniversary a few weeks ago, precisely because we had milk available in the freezer for my Mom to feed L. I still breastfeed 99% of the time; I pump after L eats in the morning in order to build up a supply, and I only use the milk that I've stockpiled when I will be away from L for a few hours.
I hope this list is helpful to you! What baby gear items have you found indispensable?

Q: Xpath locator in checkbox I am learning selenium and want to select check box in amazon page. I went to amazon site and searched for dresses. On the left hand side it displays brands and I want to select Relipop checkbox. I tried the following code and it didn't work
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='p_89/Relipop']/span/a/div/label/i)")).click();

Could you please help me and i appreciate your effort.

A: Try xpath like this:
//li[@id='p_89/Relipop']/span/a//span[text()='Relipop']

A: If you pay attention here
[@id='p_89/Relipop']

p_89 looks dynamic in nature what it means is, it may change based on location or even if we refresh etc.
I see this HTML for the mentioned button

<input type="checkbox" name="" value="" checked="">

  Relipop

Basically we have 4 ways to click in Selenium-Java bindings.
I will use this xpath
//span[text()='Relipop']/ancestor::a

Code trial 1 :
Thread.sleep(5);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[text()='Relipop']/ancestor::a")).click();

Code trial 2 :
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//span[text()='Relipop']/ancestor::a"))).click();

Code trial 3 :
Thread.sleep(5);
WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[text()='Relipop']/ancestor::a"));
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", button);

Code trial 4 :
Thread.sleep(5);
WebElement button  = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[text()='Relipop']/ancestor::a"));
new Actions(driver).moveToElement(button).click().build().perform();

to click on check box, in my experience JS works absolutely flawless.
so please start with code trial 3, and if that does not work, try other methods.

Kauai sets new national record for rainfall
by: Kimberlee Speakman, Web Staff
Posted: Jan 30, 2019 / 07:09 PM HST
Updated: Jan 31, 2019 / 07:43 AM HST
Kauai now holds a new national record for the most rainfall in a 24-hour period.
The National Weather Service says 49.69 inches of rain fell in Waipa Gardens on Kauai between April 14-15, 2018.
That was during the flood event that destroyed homes, roads and cut off part of the island for weeks.
The Waipa Gardens gauge that registered that amount of rain is located in a grassy meadow on the north shore of Kauai near Hanalei.
Almost a year since the record breaking rain the flooding that followed, residents in Haena say that convoys still need to be sent out to get around.
Kuhio Highway, the main road that leads in and out of the area, hasn't been completely cleared from debris caused by mudslides. Repairwork is still also underway by the Department of Transportation. Costs are estimated at $77 million dollars.
"We can only work as fast as mother nature allows us to, and we've been challenged with some rainy days that have prolonged the completion of some of these key projects," said Derek Kawakami, Kauai County mayor. "The rebuilding of Kuhio Highway, slope stabilizations, the repair of some of our bridges, all of those projects we've got crews out there that are working night and day as fast as we possibly can."
He says in the meantime, they've been briefing residents on what to do if another flood situation occurs with Hanalei to Haena disaster plan workshops.
They plan to not only rebuild, but also strengthen current infrastructure.
"We have to be mindful that this type of weather pattern with climate change is expected to happen again so we have to be mindful and be prepared and take a look at how we can mitigate future risks," said Kawakami.
He says they have talked with flood infrastructure experts… and is hoping to bring their expertise to create buildings that can withstand lots of rain. back to you.
The National Climate Extremes Committee made the record official after reviewing all the data. The previous record for the most rainfall in a 24-hour period was in Alvin, Texas, where 43 inches of rain fell back in July 1979.

La Cadière is one of the prettiest of all the villages perchés in the south of France, and the Hostellerie Bérard is perhaps its best-known possession. A window table in the main restaurant of the 37-room hotel is worth asking for: good dinners with panoramic views of wine country do not come much better (or much more expensive, it should be said) than this. Some rooms in the medieval part of the hotel command the same prospect.
In addition to being as knowledgeable about the hostellerie's extensive list of local wines as the sommelier himself, owner Danièle Bérard is an authority on local walks. She will recommend trails to Château de Pibarnon, with its own far views, and to Moulin des Costes and other producers among the hills or in the plain.
Which brings us naturally to the hotel's spa, 'where aromatherapy will awaken your senses', and where among other delights are rose oil body wraps and 'milk baths with flower petals and essential oil of lavender and marjoram'. If romance does not flourish here one must be unfortunate with the weather or one's partner, or both.


End of Summer Pasta with Bolognese Sauce–ground beef, cremini mushrooms, and white wine sauce–tingles the taste buds, perfect for summer entertaining!
Friends, I say for the last month of summer, let's be generous with our time and table (we all have a table, right?) and let's invite some new people into our homes!
Bolognese sauce originated from Bologna, Italy, and is a meat-based sauce served with your favorite pasta. Mix it with pasta? SO good.
Pasta says "comfort" and is inexpensive, and you can make some delicious meals.
Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and cook the cremini mushrooms.
Then add tomato paste, and sugar (you won't believe how 1 tablespoon of sugar makes the difference).
White wine tops it off, simmered to perfection. I could just eat the sauce with no pasta! HA.
Cook the pasta al dente. This is the secret to a good bolognese recipe. And a good pasta is everything!
Play around with summer ingredients, like fresh herbs, tomatoes, kalamata olives, and lemon zest.
And don't forget the fresh grated parmesan cheese! SO GOOD!
Generosity is not just about giving money away to worthy causes. That's meaningful and important (sponsoring a child, contributing to a non-profit, etc:), but we can also be generous with our time.
I wrote about it a few years ago–we need people who give generously with their treasure and their time.
Hospitality can be a scary word, which makes so many of us reluctant to do anything with it. I truly believe we are all called to hospitality, in some way. A great place to start: our connections.
Connecting people, introducing people, feeding people, loving people.
It looks different to each person. Some may be giving to people they do not know, others might be building the courage to actually make an invite, others may be gathering all of their family together. I've learned not to judge what "reaching out" means to others.
We're all living in different situations.
But in some way, somehow, we have to take our eyes off of ourselves and put them onto others.
The last month of summer is a great time to start.
1. Eat outside. You don't have to clean your house!
2. Make one big pot of Summer Bolognese Pasta.
3. Ask your guests to bring either a salad or a dessert.
4. Grab a baguette from the local farmer's market or store.
5. Open a bottle of wine.
You have the best summer party ingredients right there! ENJOY!
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add in about 1/4 c of salt, then add in the pasta. When the water comes back up to a boil, begin the timer for about 7 minutes—this will cook the pasta al dente. Remove from heat, drain noodles, then place back in pot with a cover to keep warm—do not add oil.
Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil. Heat oil on medium, then, when oil is hot, add in the mushrooms. Allow mushrooms to brown for about 4-5 minutes, then add in the grated carrot, garlic, oregano, tarragon, beef, chili, salt, and pepper. Brown the beef for about 5 minutes.
Next, add in tomato paste, and sugar. Stir until paste is evenly dispersed, then add in the pasta, wine, vinegar, and lemon juice. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
Mix beef and pasta together and serve warm, garnished with kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, basil, thyme, and lemon zest. Serve with fresh Parmesan cheese!

AALL voices the needs and interests of law librarians on timely policy issues including copyright; equitable, no-fee permanent public access to authentic online legal information; open government; and privacy. But no one knows the issues that impact law libraries across the country better than you.
As a constituent of your elected officials, you hold the power and authority to influence your legislators' opinions. After all, you're responsible for re-electing them! Your lawmakers want to know what you think about issues that impact law libraries and it's your responsibility to help them understand the issues that matter most. Make your voice heard and help to influence the policies that affect you.
AALL's Advocacy Team is comprised of passionate members around the country who are committed to influencing information policies at the federal and state levels. In Washington, DC, AALL's government relations staff champions the policy issues affecting our members by acting as the face of the Association to Congress, the administration, and other government officials. Many AALL chapters also have active government relations programs. Advocacy activities are set in accordance with AALL's Government Relations Policy and in consultation with the Copyright Committee, Digital Access to Legal Information Committee, Government Relations Committee, and, where necessary or appropriate, the President or Executive Board of the Association.
AALL advocates on many critical information policy issues, including appropriations for the Government Publishing Office and Library of Congress, copyright, freedom of information, net neutrality, open government, and privacy. AALL frequently meets with Congressional staff, the White House, and agency officials to influence our federal policy priorities. Recently, we've had a seat at the table in conversations and decisions about access to authentic online legal information, Section 108 of the Copyright Act, privacy of library users, and more. While the AALL staff lobby on these important issues, we rely on our members to add their voices and personal stories.
AALL works with chapters and individuals to ensure greater access to government information at the state level. Recently, we have worked with AALL members and chapters in favor of access to official electronic legal materials and to support funding for county libraries. We also advocate in favor of enactment of the Uniform Electronic Legal Material Act (UELMA), a priority issue of AALL.
As members of a democratic society, we have the ability to influence on the way we are governed. Members of Congress listen to the needs and opinions of their constituents to make decisions about legislation. We hope you will take the time to express your values and your priorities to Congress. There are three paths of communication you can take. Click each link below for helpful tips and strategies for communicating with Congress.
Visit your Representative and Senators when they're in Washington, DC or when they're home. A personal visit is the most effective means of communicating with Congress.
Send a message. It's easier than ever to communicate with your members of Congress. You can send a letter, email, or fax to your member of Congress at their home or Washington office.
Call your Representative and Senators. Congressional staff are available to answer your questions and hear your opinions over the telephone.
Master your elevator pitch to be persuasive.
There are many unique opportunities to connect with your state officials that can build critical relationships for advocacy efforts in the statehouse. In addition to meeting, writing, and calling your state legislators, you can interact on a much more personal level. While no two statehouses are the same, you can use the following guides to take exciting opportunities in your state.
Host a tour of your library for your state legislator.
Write and present testimony at a public hearing.
Build strong, unified coalitions for state advocacy.
The media can act as a powerful tool of grassroots advocacy by allowing your message to reach a broad public audience. Your voice can help to change the way community members look at issues; create a reliable, consistent stream of publicity for your mission or goal; and motivate the public and policymakers to get involved. Print media is a great place to start advocating.
Write an Op-Ed about topical information policy news.
Submit a Letter to the Editor in response to something you've read.
The ways you can take action for AALL are not limited to those described here. From attending town hall meetings to developing position papers and forming local coalitions of law library advocates, the possibilities for effective advocacy are endless!
Former Speaker of the House Thomas "Tip" O'Neill is famous for the phrase, "All politics is local." AALL strongly believes that getting the participation of our members and chapters is essential to our public policy success. While your government relations staff work hard to advance the policy goals of AALL, it is you who has the power to convince your lawmaker of the importance of law libraries to your community and the Nation. By speaking up for law libraries and taking action when it's needed, you'll become an important member of our Advocacy Team. All it takes is a little know-how and the willingness to speak up on issues that affect our profession.
AALL makes it easy for you learn about the issues on our agenda and to get involved. By reading our monthly Washington eBulletin, joining the AALL Advocates Community, and taking action on our current alerts, you'll be part of a successful network of law librarians and legal information professionals advocating for the information policy issues that affect the profession.

So you're living away from home for the first time, and you think you're ready for your first independent living experience, right? Well take it from us, there are bound to be situations ahead when you're at a complete loss as to what to do. We have put together a guide to those basic household student skills that you've never thought to learn.
Firstly, separate your colours, whites, and delicates (such as silks) into individual loads. Items like towels that could leave fluff over your clothes should also be separated. Go through your pockets and remove anything if not you'll be picking out bits of tissue for the next few months. Turn jeans inside out to retain the colour and pay attention to care labels. Make sure you wash items at the right temperature - too hot and they might shrink, too cold and it won't get clean! Finally, always follow the directions on your washing powder/liquid and you should be fine!
Should be simple, but even the best chefs get it wrong! Firstly, never use a refrigerated egg; you'll get much better results from those at room temperature. Set a small pan to boil on the stove, with just enough water to cover the egg. Prick the fat end of the egg with a pin to stop it cracking, and drop it carefully into the boiling water. Now, for the important part! For a soft boiled egg with a runny yolk and lightly cooked white, boil for no longer than 3 minutes. For a hard boiled egg with solid white and yolk, boil for 8 minutes.
Your first task should be emptying the freezer. Once your freezer is empty (remove the drawers/ice tray also), unplug and leave the door open, putting some old towels around the bottom to soak up the inevitable deluge of water. Boil the kettle and fill a bowl with the water. Place the bowl in the centre of the freezer and use a cloth to spread the warmth around. Remove any large chunks of ice by hand, and then refill the bowl with boiling water and let the steam go to work. Repeat until all the ice is gone, dry off with a towel and you're good to go.
Empty the room entirely. This requires moving furniture as well as smaller items in the room, and you may need a helping hand. Put on some good music or a movie to entertain yourself while dusting. Get a dust rag or a feather duster and begin dusting at the highest points of the room such as ceiling fans or the tops of window frames.Scrub and sanitize the woodwork and floors in the room thoroughly to remove all dust which may have accumulated. After dusting, many people forget that the dust eventually settles somewhere. If the room is carpeted, then vacuum the room.

Loughner pleads guilty to 19 counts in Tucson, Arizona, mass shooting
Jared Lee Loughner, the alleged gunman in last year's mass shooting outside an Arizona supermarket in Tucson that killed six people and wounded then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, pleaded guilty Tuesday to 19 charges in exchange for the government not seeking the death penalty.
Under the plea deal, Loughner will be sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility for parole, federal prosecutors said. His sentencing is scheduled for November 15, prosecutors said.
In court, Loughner also waived his right to pursue an insanity defense.
"My name is Jared Lee Loughner," the defendant told the court when he held up his right hand under oath.
Loughner calmly told the court he understood his guilty plea. "Yes, that is correct," he said.
"I'm 23 years old," he told the court. "I attended college for five years at a community college."
Earlier Tuesday, Judge Larry Alan Burns found Loughner competent to stand trial in a federal court in Tucson.
Warning signs of violence: What to do
"He's a different person in appearance and affect," the judge said about Loughner, who was present in the courtroom. "He's tracking today. He appears to assist his lawyers. Court's own observations are that there's no question he understands what's happening today."
Loughner had been facing more than 50 federal charges, and the remaining offenses will be dropped in exchange for the guilty pleas if Loughner is sentenced within the terms of the plea agreement, according to the written agreement filed in court.
Under the pleas, Loughner admitted guilt in the attempted assassination of Giffords and the murders of federal employees U.S. District Court Chief Judge John M. Roll, 63, and congressional aide Gabriel M. Zimmerman, 30, prosecutors said.
Loughner also pleaded guilty to the attempted murders of federal employees and congressional aides Ronald S. Barber, 65, and Pamela K. Simon, 63, prosecutors said.
Loughner also admitted causing the deaths of Christina-Taylor Green, age 9; Dorothy "Dot" J. Morris, 76; Phyllis C. Schneck, 79; and Dorwan C. Stoddard, 76, prosecutors said.
Loughner admitted injuring with a Glock pistol 10 persons participating at an activity provided by the U.S. government and creating a grave risk of death to 13 more persons, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors agreed to a plea deal — and not to seek the death penalty — after taking into account Loughner's history of mental illness and the views of victims and their families.
"It is my hope that this decision will allow the Tucson community, and the nation, to continue the healing process free of what would likely be extended trial and pre-trial proceedings that would not have a certain outcome," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement.

Q: Using different colors for different keywords in lstlisting I've looked through a few answers on here, and either they don't work or don't fully answer my question. I have to format some C++ code and I want it to have these colors for these specific keywords (to simulate some other syntax highlighting), but I don't know if its possible:

*

*commentstyle has an RGB value of (2,112,10)

*keywordstyle has an RGB value of (108,48,130)

*stringstyle has the color red

*The keywords (int,char,double,float,unsigned,void,bool) are blue

*The keywords (<,>,.,;,,,-,!,=,~) have an RGB value of (255,165,0)

*If possible, function names (which means a word that has a ( immediately after it) have an RGB value of (129,20,83).

So far I have this (which was a solution that I found from another question on here):
\documentclass[11pt]{article} % use larger type; default would be 10pt
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % set input encoding (not needed with XeLaTeX)
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{geometry} % to change the page dimensions
\geometry{a4paper}

\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{commentgreen}{RGB}{2,112,10}
\definecolor{eminence}{RGB}{108,48,130}
\definecolor{weborange}{RGB}{255,165,0}
\definecolor{frenchplum}{RGB}{129,20,83}

        }
    }
    _error_("string here!" << strx(enum_type));
    return false;
}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

But my classoffset solution doesn't work. Nothing is being highlighted in orange. And I also don't know if its possible to do #6 in the list above. If anyone has ideas let me know!

A: This is a partial answer.
I met this dirty trick once before: add otherkeywords={>,<,.,;,-,!,=,~} alongside morekeywords={>,<,.,;,-,!,=,~}.
As for comma, there are other posts giving completely different approach. It is up to you how fancy the C++ code should be. But more fancy the code is, more fragile Listings is.

Montrose is a village located in south-eastern British Columbia in the West Kootenay region. It is located 7 km east of the city of Trail along Highway 3B. The village of Montrose is built on a mountain ledge. Because of its limited physical area, there is very little fluctuation in population.
Originally known as "Wood's Flats," Montrose was developed as a retirement village for workers from the nearby Cominco smelter. It was incorporated in 1956 as a village, and named after a popular resort in Scotland. The construction of the "Montrose Cutoff," an extension of Highway 3B from Fruitvale to Trail, reduced travel time to Trail from ~45 minutes to 10 minutes, making the village more attractive to commuters.
Montrose is also the location of the "Antenna Trail" a 4 kilometre loop hiking trail that rises 250 metres above the village and affords spectacular views of the Beaver and Columbia Valleys. This trail is part of the Kootenay Columbia Trail system although it is not contiguous with the rest of the trails located near, and accessed from, nearby Rossland. The Antenna Trail is popular because it is snow-free much earlier in the spring than the higher elevation trails, and has little if any mountain bike traffic.
The village shares its territory with a variety of native BC wildlife. Elk, Whitetail Deer, Black Bears, and Wild Turkeys. Hummingbirds are attacted by the numerous feeders put out by residents, with at least 7 different species recorded.

Last night, I had an eye-opening meal here in Barcelona--one that was spectacular enough to catapult me back into blogging. I've had some awful touristy meals as a result of time constraints and convenience, but I've also had some pretty damn good tapas. However, nothing had really compelled me to rush home and blog about it. Then, along came Comerç 24. I knew it'd be Spanish influenced cuisine with a liberal dosing of molecular gastronomy, but it was beyond anything I expected.
After a short metro ride and a nighttime stroll past the city's Arc de Triomphe, the glowing bright yellow banner of Comerç 24 beckoned me into a dark, yet inviting street. We were just in time for our 10:15pm reservation. All the shops and stores around the restaurant seemed to be closed--the only bright light coming from within the restaurant. We entered and were immediately seated at the largest table in the middle of the room. And open kitchen occupied one side of the room and a beautiful bar the other. Obviously I opted for a clear view of the kitchen. Immediately, one can sense the immaculate precision of the kitchen--everyone was busy doing their tasks, but there wasn't even a hint of chaos. My kind of kitchen.
I went with a group of fellow students also in the business travel study program with me here in Barcelona. The tasting menu at Comerç 24 is pretty pricey for a student budget (72 euros for the shorter FESTIVAL menu), but I managed to get together five of us who were willing and able to spend that kind of money on food. We had some spherification virgins in the group and let's just say the expression on someone's face when they pop their first spherification is priceless ;) None of us left disappointed. I don't know about them, but I left with a whole new perspective on what food can be.
A bread basket and box of olive oils were brought to our table. As the server explained each olive oil in the box, he pour, in a long stream, the vibrant green oil into four different dishes--in order from lightest to strongest. I enjoyed dipping each bite of the rustic sliced bread into different pools of fruity oil before deciding that the strongest was the best.
To start, these adorable filo "cigars" were delightful. With a remarkably thin, crunchy, slightly thin wrapper and a filling of mousse-like parmesan cheese flavored with lime and basil, they left everyone wanting more.
Served in little teacups with a pearly white spherification at the bottom, a chilled broth was poured into the cup at the table. With the first cool sip, I was reminded of Thai flavors, of lemongrass and kaffir lime. When the spherification rolled into my mouth, a gentle squeeze against the roof of my mouth resulted in the release of slightly sweet coconut milk. Definitely Thai.
This was the first dish that knocked me off my feet. It was remarkable. Not only delicious but also unbelievably beautiful. Someone compared it to a Chinese watercolor, and I couldn't have agreed more. I watched as the kitchen literally painted the plate with a jar of black sesame paste "ink." The seared monkfish, still rare and translucent at the center, had a salty, briny taste that paired so surprisingly well with the nutty, savory sesame.
I didn't quite catch what kind of fish topped this innovative pizza but we deduced that it was some kind of smoked, salty fish--maybe a spanish mackerel? The little pizza had toppings of a white, fresh, crumbly cheese, oven roasted cherry tomatoes, baby arugula, and pitted cherry halves on a thin, crispy crust. Our server used a cute little pizza cutter to cut it into four pieces. The sweet bit of cherry went well to balance the fishy, smoked flavor.
The first actual dish in the 7 savory courses, it blew me away. I love sardines and anchovies and all small salty fishes. This was the best preparation of sardines I've ever had. The slivers of sardines were accompanied by fresh citrus segments to cut the fishiness, with slightly sweet and crunchy crumbles creating a contrast in texture. The micro greens added a touch of freshness to the dish. It just worked.
I was not particularly impressed or surprised by the tuna tartar. It tasted exactly like how it looked--raw tuna, lightly marinated in soy sauce topped with salmon roe. The only interesting component was the sauce of raw egg yolk. I've only had raw egg yolk with beef tartar...never with tuna tartar.
Absolutely beautiful, this soup looked like a work of art. Three different colored spherifications, each containing a different flavor (the yellow being egg, brown being truffle, and white being parmesan) it was arranged into a colorful pyramid. A delicate sprinkling of sea salt adorned each of the egg spherification. Then a warm, wonderfully scented, black truffle consommé is poured over the spherifications. We were advised to eat each spherification separately, resulting in a different flavored bite each time. It was not only delicious, but also such a joy to eat.
Another gorgeously plated dish--I love the use of a piece of slate as a plate. A bright orange romesco sauce covered a moist, flakey piece of salted cod. Carquinyolis, which is apparently a Spanish version of biscotti, left a trail from the cod to a piece of edible flower that reminded of a asparagus. Taken together, it was a very interesting preparation of fish. However, I would've liked some acidity. The sweetness of the biscotti crumble and the saltiness of the fish were not enough.
How could this dish not be good? It was amazing. Each grain of rice was cooked to a perfect toothsome al dente in a duck stock. There were no actual pieces of duck in the dish but it's essence was definitely there. The quenelle of foie gras was so rich and smooth. We were advised to mix everything together before eating. Unfortunately, there was also a kind of crumble in the dish--one that tasted like crushed corn nuts to us--and it's flavor was a little overpowering for the foie.
Such interesting plating. The translucent disk is solidified fish stock made from the bones of the red mullet. A single leaf of basil and a surprisingly pungent purple flower (reminded me of garlic and chives) adorned the plate. The drops of sweet, thick balsamic vinegar provided the acidity I tend to enjoy in fish dishes. The red mullet, apparently from Chiavari, was cooked to a tender, juicy doneness.
The last savory course, was a perfectly cooked piece of prawn. I've never had prawn so sweet and succulent. It's snappy texture reminded me of perfectly cooked langoustine...only better. The chicken thigh meat underneath was definitely not as memorable compared to the prawn. It was a little heavier than previous dishes so it was a nice conclusion to the savory portion of our meal.
This unassuming shot of orange colored juice and green foam is a lot more impressive than it seems. We were told to take the entire shot of white peach juice, lemon zest, and green tea foam in one gulp. We all thought it was a questionable combination of flavors, but as we said cheers and all started drinking the shot, everyone's eyes started to widen in surprise and then in awe. It was an amazing shot of juice. The white peach juice was sweet and pure, and the matcha foam was a pleasantly bitter contrast. It was ridiculously good. Ridiculous.
A smaller portion of the same dessert I had at the more casual Tapaç 24, the combination of chocolate mousse, fruity olive oil, and sea salt works so surprisingly or not so surprisingly well. Great for a chocolate lover like me.
A light and fruity dessert offering, it was slightly unmemorable when compared with the rest of the meal. Vibrantly green, though not much else. It tasted like yogurt with some fruit and crumble.
A cute little offering of mignardises came on another black slate. However, at this point, we were all too full to really appreciate them. That being said, they were all delicious. Of course I still managed to eat my share. The black sesame oreo ice cream sandwich was cute--something I might want to replicate at home. The pineapple treat tasted like a Chinese pineapple cake/tart/thing (hopefully someone out there knows what I'm talking about) just more delicate and with a hint of lime zest. The nougat tasted like some kind of chocolate bar.
When Carles Abellán come up with the concept of Comerç 24, he himself wasn't quite sure how to describe it. While the chef is Catalonian, the food isn't decidedly Catalan. While it bills itself as a tapas restaurant, it's dishes don't really resemble traditional tapas fare. The food leans so heavily on molecular gastronomy, it's hard not to rest on the fact that Abellán was a pupil of Ferran Adrià. Still, it was a dining experience unlike any I've ever experienced before. With attentive service that was there for me with my every bite, I'd never been so perpetually surprised and challenged by every dish. Everything I ate was like a new discovery for me.
simply amazing. love your blog.
visit mine and give pointers please!
Awesome, awesome post. Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad someone took pictures! I had basically the same meal at Commerc 24 tonight. I;m sitting here in my hotel room trying to jot down all the courses - you filled in some of my questions about ingredients and flavors. I was by myself at the bar & I wisely let the sommelier choose a series of wines by the glass to go with the courses - it alone was worth the visit. Tart sauvignon blanc with fresh sardines & orange salad, a nutty Amontillado sherry with the duck rice with foie gras (incredible!), and a smokey tempranillo with the romesco covered cod and a piece of ox sirloin with turnips and dots of wasabi. Then the deserts were just the mind-blowing little bombs of flavor needed to finish me off. I have died & gone to foodie heaven. Wow, like you I also went to L'Avant Gout in Paris a few years back. Thanks!
P.S. My recollection of the pineapple desert (and I think it was my favorite of the umpteen little deserts they gave me - I also go little chocolates with my coffee, like a gold covered block with creamy filling and a green tea white chocolate square!) Anyway, I remember them pouring a ginger tea over a tiny stone bowl with a piece of cake (almond maybe) a slice of pineapple and a dollop of lemon sorbet - the marriage was bursting with fresh fruit flavor.

Q: Filter out unkown signs php guestbook I have a website with a guestbook on it. It is built with php (codeigniter).
For filtering out 'bad' words, I am using my own 'blacklist' of words.
If the guestbook comment contains a 'bad word', points are added to a counter. If in the end the counter is more then 2, the comment is reported as spam and it won't be allowed.
This had been going fine until a few weeks back.
I keep getting comments with just ??????? 's. In my filters, I have added ???? to my blacklist. Every time ???? or more ?'s are added to a comment 2 points are added and the comment will be considered as spam.
if (strpos($comment,'????') !== false)
            $points  = $points + 2;

And it works, when trying to add comments like "??? ??  ????????????", the comments are blocked.
But I still keep getting spam with only ?'s in it. So I think the problem lies elsewhere. I think the input is like arabic or chinese and that the input isn't recognised and translated into ?'s.
But I still remain with spam in my guestbook.
How could I solve this?

A: mb_detect_encoding will tell you the codepage, it is represented as '?'s because your database isn't set to the correct collation. Hope this helps...


Cut vegetables like cauliflower, beans, carrots.
Saute some onions, green chilies, coriander, Pudina leaves, ginger-garlic along with some 'biryani masala'. You could also add some tomatoes to this.
Add the boiled vegetables to this masala paste.
Now layer the masala paste and the colorful rice successively in a large kadai.
Alternatively, some people also seal the lid to the kadai using some 'atta'.
