As a 19-year-old at the time, he didn't want to get arrested and didn't join in the resistance. But as he reflected over the next few days, he thought "this was the start of something big...and it gave me more of a sense of myself for being a gay kid." (Courtesy of Michael Olenik via AP)

By Jennifer Peltz | Associated Press
NEW YORK — Michael Olenick was 19 and living a secret social life, letting loose with friends at a speakeasy-like bar with blacked-out windows and one of the few floors in town where men danced with other men. Then the lights came on and the police strode into the Stonewall Inn.
Adrenaline pumping, Olenick worried about getting arrested but also about the action outside — shouting, sirens, sounds of objects being thrown. Gay people got harassed on the streets often enough that he wondered whether they were getting attacked.
What he was hearing early on June 28, 1969, would echo for 50 years. It was the start of a rebellion that helped propel and transform the modern LGBTQ rights movement, leaving a legacy in politics, policing and personal lives.
"I'm standing there, not knowing what was going on. That was the horror," recalls Olenick, who was among many patrons police eventually allowed to leave the bar. "And then what came from it was the joy — the enlightenment for the country, for the world, that, 'Hey, we're here. Get over it.'"
At a time when homosexuality was defined as mental illness and showing same-sex affection could be deemed illegal, a diverse crowd of hundreds of gay men, lesbians and transgender people refused to go quietly after police raided the bar. They confronted the officers, hurling coins, bottles, invective and more.
Some bucked arrest and scuffled with officers, who took cover inside the bar for a time before riot police arrived. Demonstrations, defiance and arrests continued for several more nights.
The U.S. had seen some gay protests. But Stonewall proved to be a turning point, kindling a sustained burst of organizing that changed the tone and volume of LGBTQ activism.
"I knew that I deserved the same rights as anybody else, but it took all of that to make me realize that we, as a people, could fight back," says Mark Segal, who was weeks out of high school when he went to the Stonewall that night and emerged an activist. He now publishes the Philadelphia Gay News.
"How could anyone have imagined that going out for a night would end up being history?"
'THINGS HAVE CHANGED A LOT SINCE I WAS A COP'
Officer Charles Broughton had been on raids before. They were common at New York's gay bars, often unlicensed and run by the underworld.
As Broughton recalls, the focus was on people selling illegal drinks, not buying them. Several Stonewall employees were arrested.
While news and other accounts describe police checking people wearing clothes deemed gender-inappropriate — sometimes considered an illegal "disguise" — and arresting some, Broughton says he wasn't involved in that and didn't judge how bar patrons wanted to live.
He didn't anticipate being corralled in the Stonewall by an angry crowd, hoping he wouldn't get hurt as something crashed against the window.
He would ultimately be shoved and kicked by three people, according to an arrest report; Broughton says he doesn't remember it. Overall, at least six people were arrested in the melee. At least four officers — not Broughton — were treated for injuries, according to police reports obtained by historian Jonathan Ned Katz and others. The reports don't reflect any protesters' injuries.
The New York Police Department apologized for the raid this month.
"The actions taken by the NYPD were wrong, plain and simple," Commissioner James O'Neill said.
'WE WANTED SOCIETY TO CHANGE'
Scrawled on the Stonewall's boarded-up windows the night after the raid were words that blew Dale Mitchell's mind: "Support Gay Power."
"I had never seen 'gay' as part of a political slogan before," he recalls, "let alone associated with the word 'power.'"
Mitchell, then 20, was struck by the rebellion and by the crowd that gathered the night after.
Two years later, he would become Indiana University's first openly gay student senator, and his advocacy for LGBTQ people has continued. This month, he was the Boston Pride parade's grand marshal.
Karla Jay heard the urgency as she circulated in the crowd outside the Stonewall the night after the raid. A month later, she was among hundreds on a march to the Stonewall, mobilized by the nascent Gay Liberation Front.
Formed in the rebellion's wake, GLF was more radical than earlier groups that staged pioneering, decorous demonstrations.
GLF members "didn't care any more about those niceties," said Jay, then a graduate student who became the group's first female leader. "We wanted society to change."
Short-lived but influential, GLF marched in Times Square and picketed news publications. Members started a spectrum of other groups, including a transgender-advocacy organization founded by Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera . Activists pressed officials to pass anti-discrimination laws and psychiatrists to stop classifying homosexuality as a mental disorder.
For Paul Glass, Stonewall's impact was more private: He came out to his family a few weeks later.
"It was liberating," Glass says.
A WINDING ROAD OF CHANGE
Today, the Stonewall Inn is part of the first national monument to LGBT history . It has undergone various changes but is still a bar, and a rallying point for LGBTQ activists along a winding road of political and social change .
Enduring differences over the movement are as visible as a rainbow pride flag that went up over the Wisconsin state Capitol this month. Where some saw a banner of inclusivity, others viewed it as waving a provocative cause in the public's face .
"It is divisive," complained state Rep. Scott Allen, a Republican.
'HOPEFULLY, THEY WON'T HAVE TO FIGHT'
One afternoon this month, people started tucking notes and keepsakes into envelopes at the New-York Historical Society, there to stay in the Stonewall 50 Time Capsule until 2069.
There were flyers for 1980s nightclubs where one man found a social community, and newspaper clippings about being a lesbian police officer and parent in the 1990s. A young transgender woman left a note to her future self: "I love you for being true to you."
Justin Sams wrote: "You're beautiful. You're worthy. You're brave. You're courageous."
The 27-year-old actor hopes his message will "let the fellow LGBTQ brothers and sisters know that they're worthy and they can keep fighting," he said.
"And hopefully, they won't have to fight."

Does "happily ever after" exist? And if it does, how do you even get there? Where is it hiding? Is there a map, maybe? This month, Reese Witherspoon's book club, Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine, will explore those questions by reading Happiness, a memoir by Heather Harpham about love, family, mortality, and the twists and turns life takes on the road to "happiness."
"The things I loved about this book are it's about the truth of motherhood, the truth of parenting, the truth of relationships, and that the road to happiness looks different for everyone," Witherspoon said in the video. "Heather's story begins in the hospital as she's giving birth to her daughter, but there is a complication and it takes you back in time to how she met the daughter's father."
She added: "I know this sounds sad, you guys, and there are parts of it that are very harrowing and very realistic, but it has a happy ending, I promise, and you have to stick around for it, because it's amazing."
Happiness opens, as Witherspoon said, with Harpham in the hospital, but immediately transports readers back in time to her courtship with Brian, a New York City writer. Heather, a free-spirited California girl, and Brian aren't exactly a perfect match, but their romance seems too magical to be anything other than fate — that is, until she gets pregnant, and the relationship ends when Brian decides that he loves Heather, but he doesn't want kids. Heather returns to California, alone, and ready to face her future as a single mom. But when she delivers her baby — Gracie — she's faced with another major life hurdle: her baby is seriously ill. Brian shows up again when Gracie's situation becomes dire, and he and Heather are forced decide how far they're willing to go to save their young daughter — and maybe, save their relationship.
The subtitle of the book — The Crooked Little Road To Semi-Ever After — perfectly describes the crux of this book: that happiness is an elusive creature, and that everyone's path comes with its own twists and turns. You can follow along at Hello Sunshine all month to participate in Reese's Book Club.


Fikos was born in 1987 in Athens where he still lives.
From a young age he painted whatever he saw around him, such as comics, landscapes icons and more.
The themes of his painting, both religious and secular, emanate from the Orthodox Christian tradition and ancient Greek mythology respectively.
Having a background as a graffiti artist and an iconographer in Orthodox Christian churches, he is continuing his developmental journey by painting murals in public places.
From the mystical character of the Cycladic idols, the linear substantiality of the Ancient Greek vases and the monumentalcharacter of the Byzantine murals, right up to the accomplishments of contemporary artistic movements such as modernism and street art, Fikos redefines the relationship of the Byzantine tradition with modern society, creating that which conventionally will be called "Contemporary Byzantine Painting".

These people God placed so intentionally in my life, ultimately lead me to become a summer camp counselor, and later, lead me to York College. During my sophomore year, I decided to interview for a position as a traveling camp counselor for YC. I was in complete disbelief someone would pay me to travel across the country for the sole purpose of talking about Jesus and the College I love so much. When I was offered the job, I immediately began visualizing what my summer would be like. In my head, there were an abundance of images of me saying profound things about God all while sporting a nice tan. Fortunately, God had something a little different in store.
When I arrived on campus in June to embark on my summer journey, I was filled with a sense of urgency to embark, but was surprisingly anxious about traveling and working with my found recruiting teammates. While I was confident I had the capabilities to be in a camp counseling position, I was less than prepared to spend an entire summer with three of my peers who I had barely ever spoken to, and were, at least in my mind, painfully out of my social league.
On the first morning of our anticipated summer, my newfound teammates, Jolene, Dylan, and Asa, greeted me as I climbed into Dylan's packed car, a car which later, I'd discover he lovingly calls Tamika, (this is where I would insert an eye roll emoticon if it was appropriate for a blog post). As I politely greeted them, I was preparing myself for conversations I could not participate in and awkward silences. I knew this was probably inevitable, since the three were already friends with each other and it seemed I had very little in common with any of them. I couldn't picture us being friends, so I made up my mind to keep to myself and participate in conversation only when it was necessary. While this strategy was effective for approximately the first half hour or so of the trip, Dylan, Jolene, and Asa, absolutely refused to give into my seemingly shy exterior. Through too many trips to Raising Canes, a solid road trip playlist, and the several miniature adventures of finding ourselves completely lost while trying to locate every single camp, (this is not an exaggeration in the slightest, I promise) I developed three friendships I can't imagine living without today.
While none of them had any obligation to be especially kind to me, I was overwhelmed by how welcome I felt in their presence, how genuine their words were, how graciously they included me in every conversation, and ultimately the genuine love I was shown despite knowing very little about me. It quickly became clear, God was going to show me something important about His people bringing His Kingdom to earth within these next few months. The second Dylan grabbed my hand and started belting, "Eye to Eye" from The Goofy Movie, I knew for certain I was about to experience a life-changing summer.
I knew when I accepted a position as a traveling camp counselor; I would have to deal with extreme heat, bug bites, and an insane lack of sleep. What I wasn't prepared for was the pain in my heart every time I had to leave the people, campers, counselors, directors, and bible class teachers, after spending such a limited amount of time with them. I suppose I became aware of the fact that I might make a few new friends throughout the summer, but the idea I would become emotionally invested in the lives of so many people, some so beautifully different than myself, was completely unexpected, and ultimately why accepting this job became one of the best things to ever happen to me. Through meal times, bible classes, and random conversations sitting in the grass, God slowly taught me how important His people are. My faith was no longer about how I could acquire God's love and approval. Instead, my faith became an overflow of His love, pouring into and out of the hearts of each person he placed so intentionally in my life. It became about stopping to truly listen to so many stories of heartache, sin, doubt, and injustices, and allowing the Holy Spirit to work through me and dwell in the midst of the hurt people I encountered, whether it was an encouraging word; or a reason to laugh.
Through all of theses stories and conversations with so many different people, I was inhospitably reminded how often I dismiss people with different perspectives, attitudes, upbringings, and beliefs than my own as being unworthy of love. I am incredibly and eternally grateful to all the individuals I encountered this past summer who allowed their vulnerability to contribute to my personal growth.
Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. Before our Father's throne, we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts, and our cares. We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear; and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear. When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart and hope to meet again.
Several months later, I still find myself laughing at how many times I sang the devotional song, "Firm Foundation" or tearing up thinking about how loved each of my campers made me feel without even realizing it. As my faith continues to develop in new ways or in moments when I feel doubt begin to creep in, I will always have these memories to reflect upon and smile about. I am incredibly grateful to be part of a community at York College that believes in me and gives me opportunities such as this to lead and grow.
Im so very proud of you Colby! You have achieved such amazing things in your life!

Late night, quick eats, in Holland Village. Long queues at Nakhon, so off to Bar Bar Black Sheep across the street. There's a lot of buzz about it, but I had never been there before. They say the concept is great and the food is awesome.
I was in the mood for Indian food, so I decided to go with the Aloo Ghobi. I have eaten enough meat while in the US for the past 2 weeks, so time to get some less meat intake for a bit.
The curry was a little thick, potatoes were just ok, and the cauliflower, not quite there. Not quite up to snuff for me at all.
Come to find out that they are getting a new curry chef starting next week. Maybe that's why this one was not so good at all. But, it was bad enough to make me not want to go back to try it again.
The Naan was acceptable, soft and delicate. A pretty good one.
The other dish we ordered was the Ribeye Rice. Dry, dry, dry. We asked for more gravy and they wanted to charge us another $2 for it. Are you kidding me? And who serves the egg already broken to you? Disappointing is what I have to say about our visit. People rave about it, I can't see why. It will take a long time for me to come back here.

Q: Git Bash Not Supporting mkvirtualenv command My installation of Ubuntu does not recognise the 'mkvirtualenv'command. I have checked the .bashrc file it appears to be standard however. Please if you may have time, suggest to me how to resolve that problem.
So After installing ubuntu (Beaver) using git bash and vagrant, my attempt to create a virtual environment using the command:
mkvirtualenv bugs --python=python3

Generates the OS response "command not found".
The steps I followed were:

*

*Downloaded git bash and installed git bash

*Downloaded virtual box and installed virtual box

*From git bash, I create a work folder and then from within the folder generate an initial vagrant file by calling
vagrant init

*I edit the vagrant file and save as follows,
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

config.vm.box = "ubuntu/xenial64"

config.vm.network "forwarded_port", host_ip: "127.0.0.1", guest: 8080, host: 8080

config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y upgrade

sudo locale-gen en_GB.UTF-8

sudo apt-get install -y python3-dev sqlite python-pip

sudo pip install --upgrade pip

sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

if ! grep -q VIRTUALENV_ALREADY_ADDED /home/ubuntu/.bashrc; then

 echo "# VIRTUALENV_ALREADY_ADDED" >> /home/ubuntu/.bashrc

 echo "WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs" >> /home/ubuntu/.bashrc

 echo "PROJECT_HOME=/vagrant" >> /home/ubuntu/.bashrc

 echo "source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh" >> /home/ubuntu/.bashrc

fi

SHELL

end

*Start the virtual machine which installs the Ubuntu Beaver by calling,
vagrant up

***During the installation of Ubuntu beaver, it flags that the ssh key is insecure and then reinstalls a set of new packages. After installing a series of Ubuntu and Python packages it finally completes.

*Once Ubuntu is installed, start the ssh session as
vagrant ssh

*Navigate to vagrant by calling
cd /vagrant

*Attempt to generate the virtual environment by calling
mkvirtualenv bugs --python=python3

This generates the error.
Any ideas where the problem may lie

Imagine to launch new show based on one of the greatest operas of all time
Aarti Saundalkar
Opening night will feature a grand orchestra performance…
The fountain shows of Dubai are one that many residents stop to marvel at no matter how many times they have seen it. To change things up a bit, Dubai Festival City Mall is debuting a new Imagine show based on the Opera by French composer Georges Bizet – Carmen. On opening night, the show will be accompanied by a live orchestra.
The new Imagine show coincides with the 1875 anniversary of the Carmen staging in Paris' Opéra-Comique. The show will take place in Dubai at Festival Bay on February 18 beginning at 7.30pm.
So, what's Carmen about? Carmen is an opera set in southern Spain and tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naive soldier who is seduced by the wiles of the gypsy, Carmen.
The classic tale has been adapted a number of times for audiences across the world. But, this production in Dubai will be the first production of its kind.
Tickets for the Museum of the Future are now on sale
An immersive hologram concert experience is coming to Dubai
Upcoming performances, international artists and more in Dubai
On opening night, the orchestra, comprising of sixteen musicians will perform two sets of 25-minute of classical and pop melodies. Following this there will be a live rendition of the Carmen overture played alongside the 360-degree story being told across the skyline with music and laser projections and of course, a dancing fountain show.
Do note, the live orchestra will only be here for there on opening night but you will be able to catch the Carmen Imagine show daily at 7.30pm.
Hayssam Hajjar, General Manager of Dubai Festival City Mall stated, 'The new Imagine show is a wonderful addition to the global attraction's offering. Our visitors will be amazed at how technology, when paired with the opera production Carmen can create an entirely new dimension of entertainment. We are delighted to introduce the new show to the Dubai Festival City Imagine repertoire and hope that mallgoers will immerse themselves in the world-famous Prosper Merimee novella-inspired Carmen.'
In the past, Imagine has put on a number of shows including one dedicated to popular TV show Friends (The Reunion), UAE 50 and much more.

The Cyclotron - Cyclotron frequency f(c) or gyrofrequency - Cyclotron resonance condition
The cyclotron is an apparatus for accelerating charged particles by causing them to revolve in orbits of increasing diameter*. It consists of two concave semi-cylindrical segments in "D" shape ("Dees") that are connected to the poles of an alternative current power source of very large frequency. Between the "Dees" there is a gap and at its center A there is the source of the particles that we wish to accelerate. The entire setting is found in a magnetic field of large intensity with its magnetic field lines being perpendicular. The electric field is confined in the gap. To avoid collisions with air molecules that would slow down the particles, the apparatus is placed in very low pressure or vacuum.
Figure 1: Cyclotron
Let us consider a positive particle, e.g. a proton at point A. If the electric field between the "Dees" has the direction shown on the left, then the proton will be accelerated towards D2. When it is inside D2, the magnetic field will exert a force (Lorentz force) which will as a centripetal force.
Due to this it will perform uniform circular motion with a radius R1 that is given by the following relationships:
F(Lorentz) = F(centripetal) ⇔ qvB = mv^2/R
R1=mv1/qB
When it will exit D2 and enter the gap, it will be accelerated by the electric field to a velocity v2 (v2>v1) and will then enter D1.
When in D1 it will perform uniform circular motion with a radius R2 which will be equal to R2=mv2/qB. We are expecting that R2>R1.
The particle will exit D1 and will be accelerated again in the gap. This will be repeated several times resulting in successive accelerations of the particle until it exits the apparatus.
In order for the particle to be accelerated every time it is found in the gap, the direction of the electric field must be the same as its velocity.
The particle runs a semi-circle when inside the "Dees" and therefore it exits them every half a period or T/2. The period is T=2π/ω with the angular velocity ω being equal to v/R.
By substituting R from above we find that the period is T=2πm/qB.
Note that the period does not depend on the radius R of the circular movement of the particle.
We could say informally that the direction of the electric field should change every T/2, but this is the definition of the alternative electric field as we know it from our everyday experience. The AC voltage changes from (+) to (-) every T/2.
Therefore, the period of the circular motion of the particle should equal the period of the alternative electric field.
T(alt)=T(circ)=2πm/qB
The associated frequency corresponded to the revolution (circle, gyre, gyration) of the particle is called cyclotron frequency f(c) or gyrofrequency.
f(c)=qB/2πm
In order to accelerate the particle, we have to apply an alternating voltage V(alt) of the same frequency f(alt) as the cyclotron frequency f(c).
The requirement of f(alt)=f(c) is called the "resonance condition". Upon matching this requirement we will obtain acceleration as a response.
The above description and Figure 1 is based on a secondary education textbook

Electron Cyclotron Resonance
Electron cyclotron resonance is a phenomenon where electrons are accelerated by being led to revolve in orbits of increasing diameter upon the effect of an alternating electric field such as that of microwaves of the same frequency f(alt) as the electron cyclotron frequency f(c).
In accordance with what was mentioned for the cyclotron, the electron cyclotron frequency is:
f(c)=eB/2πm(e)
where e is the electron charge and m is its mass.
If we want to apply the commonly used microwave frequency f(alt) of 2.45 GHz, then for the electron charge and mass, the resonance condition is met when B=0.0875 T as mentioned at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_cyclotron_resonance.
It is also noted that "the circular motion may be superimposed with a uniform axial motion, resulting in a helix" etc.
Applications of electron cyclotron resonance
Energized/accelerated electrons - heating or use of heating power: (a) ionization of gas to generate plasma, (b) driving a current
"The inverse process of electron cyclotron emission can be used as a diagnostic of the radial electron temperature profile."
Under the influence of a magnetic field, electrons revolve in orbits (gyrate) in a volume with low pressure gas.
As mentioned at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_cyclotron_resonance#ECR_ion sources: "the alternating electric field of the microwaves is set to be synchronous with the gyration period of the free electrons of the gas, and increases their perpendicular kinetic energy. Subsequently, when the energized free electrons collide with the gas in the volume they can cause ionization if their kinetic energy is larger than the ionization energy of the atoms or molecules."
This link provides an animation demonstrating cyclotron resonance between a charged particle and an alternating electric field in the presence of a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the page (directed out towards the observer). A screen capture is shown in Figure 2.

Ion cyclotron resonance - Mass spectrometer principle (Dempster)
Ion cyclotron resonance "is used for accelerating ions in a cyclotron, and for measuring the masses of an ionized analyte in mass spectrometry."
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_cyclotron_resonance)
A description of the principle of the mass spectrometer (Dempster) is provided.
Let us consider the apparatus below. A positive ion exits at ion source S and is accelerated by an electric field of voltage V found between E and A. At A it enters a uniform magnetic field B with the direction shown (perpendicular, towards the observer).
Due to the Lorentz force which acts as a centripetal force, the ion will run a semicircle of radius R1 with a velocity v1. In general:
v=qBR/m (1)
During the movement of the ion in the electric field from S to E, energy equal to qV is transferred to the ion. This is equal to its kinetic energy:
qV=1/2mv^2 (2)
From (1),(2):
m/q = B^2R^2/2V
The above formula allows us to calculate the mass to charge ratio m/q of the ion if we measure V, B and R.
The green shape of the figure represents a photographic plate where the ions fall.
If two ions with the same charge enter the magnetic field, then we can calculate their mass. The figure depicts at I2 an ion that is heavier than the one at I1.
Also from (1) given that v=ωR=2π f R :
m/q=B/2πf
An electric excitation signal having a frequency f will resonate with ions having a mass-to-charge ratio m/q.

Would you like an automatic mark book?
Imagine if you could ask your students to read a page of this website and your mark book automatically checked that they have done this reading assignment?
Perhaps you want students to write a comment after studying a page of resources. Wouldn't it be great if these comments were stored automatically in your mark book?
Would you like to be able to set a multiple choice test and the students' marks are recorded in your mark book without any effort.
Setup a student group and you will have an automatic mark book today, here on the InThinking Biology site.
How do I set up a student group?
Step 1 - click "Student access"
You will see the following page with a list of your groups.
Step 3 - click "+New group"
Once you have clicked the green box "+ new group" you can give the group a name, and a description.
Step 3 - Choose the content you want available to students.
Select the pages which you want students to see. Most pages are by default visible to students.
You can prevent students from seeing planning pages, model answers and tests by leaving the tick box blank.
You can also un-tick "show blog posts" to hide the blog posts from students if you wish.
This makes sense because the Bog is written for teachers not students.
Click "Next" when you are ready.
Step 4 - Invite students and "Finish"
It really is quick to set up. Just send the link to your students.
They will be invited to create a new account or to sign in, if they already have an account with ThinkIB.net.
and then click the group name.
Add or Edit pages available to students.
Lock the group - to prevent any new student subscriptions.
You can also see the Assignments, which leads to the automatic mark book.
There is another page giving information about creating and managing Assignments.
How does it look to students?
When students navigate to the group invitation URL student.thinkib.net/group/ACESZ68 they first see this page.
students can login with their existing account. It will add Biology to their list of groups.
Otherwise students just fill in a few boxes to create a new account.
Once students have joined the group there is only one URL to remember.
This will get students to their student dashboard with links to all their groups. It will also link to any other subjects which have subscribed to InThinking.
Assignments are tasks set by the teacher.
I hope this post helps a few more teachers to use the student access.
Thanks to Lindsay for the question that nudged me to write it.


We identify illicit activity in cryptocurrencies by providing actionable intelligence to cryptocurrency companies, financial institutions and government agencies.
Elliptic's co-founders were driven by a belief that cryptocurrencies would play a key role in the future of finance, and that blockchain technology would transform how humans do business.
To ensure that these opportunities can be explored to their fullest, we believe that illicit activity in cryptocurrencies must be disrupted to stop criminals from undermining the ideals on which cryptocurrencies are built. This is our focus, and we do this by solving the crucial problem of identity in cryptocurrencies, with the sole purpose of combating suspicious and criminal activity.
Solving this problem is not just innovative; it is fundamental; it is our contribution to the continued growth and transformative power of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Our team pushes the limits to dig beneath the surface, peeling back the layers to expose the truth. We aim to stop illicit cryptocurrency activity from leaving a smudge on the technology and the future it represents for all of us.
At Elliptic, we are the people who find the truth in data.

Le phare de Point Au Fer (en ), est un phare situé sur Eugene Island dans le Bassin d'Atchafalaya dans la Paroisse de Sainte-Marie en Louisiane.

Il a remplacé le phare de Southwest Reef comme feu d'entrée de la rivière Atchafalaya. La lumière a été désactivée et remplacée par une tour à claire-voie en 1975. L'United States Coast Guard l'a ensuite offerte à la Société culturelle et historique de South Lafourche, qui en a décliné l'offre. La station a ensuite été incendiée en 1976.

Description
Le phare d'origine est une maison-phare en bois blanc, surmontée d'une tour à lanterne.

Le phare actuel est une tour à claire-voie de 13 m qui porte aussi une marque de jour.
Son feu à éclats émet, à une hauteur focale de , un flash blanc par période de 6 secondes. Sa portée n'est pas connue. Il est équipé d'une corne de brume.

Captain Blood (1935)
Today, I'm writing about the swashbuckler Captain Blood (1935), starring Olivia de Havilland and Errol Flynn.
This article is part of The Second Annual Olivia de Havilland Blogathon + Errol Flynn hosted by Phyllis Loves Classic Movies and In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood.
The 1935 pirate film Captain Blood is one of old Hollywood's minor miracles: The film made stars of Warner Bros. contract players Olivia de Havilland and Errol Flynn, set Michael Curtiz on the path to becoming one of old Hollywood's great directors, and revived the then moribund swashbuckler genre.
Captain Blood begins when Irish doctor Peter Blood (Flynn) is mistaken for a rebel against the English crown while making night visit to a sick patient. Despite Peter's protests of innocence, he is arrested and sent to Jamaica as a slave, where, through a series of fortuitous events, he wins the favor of the governor (George Hassell) and romances the beautiful Arabella Bishop (de Havilland). However, when the Spanish navy attacks the island, Peter and a group of prisoners seize the Spanish naval ship and use it to begin a life of piracy.
Captain Blood is based on a 1922 novel by adventure author Rafael Sabatini that had already been made into a 1924 Vitagraph Company silent film that starred J. Warren Kerrigan and Jean Paige. By 1935, Warner Bros. owned the rights to all Vitagraph properties, and studio chief Jack Warner, who was never one to waste anything he spent cold, hard cash on, decided to dust off the script and give it a sound remake.
Warner wanted Robert Donat, who was then fresh off an international success in The Count of Monte Cristo (1934), to play Peter Blood, but the actor's chronic asthma caused him to turn the role down. Warner's tested several actors for the lead role, including George Brent and Leslie Howard, but they eventually decided on hiring Flynn, a strapping Australian newcomer to Hollywood, as the lead.

Warner's also took a risk in casting de Havilland, another relative newcomer, as the beautiful and aristocratic Arabella. De Havilland, who had easily picked up film acting techniques during the shooting of her first movie, A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935), behaved like a seasoned pro throughout Captain Blood, but Flynn, who only had two brief appearances in B movies under his belt, was another story. The actor was extremely nervous during the early takes -- he was shaking so hard it could be seen on camera -- but several weeks of patient coaching by Curtiz paid off, and Flynn rapidly improved by the end of the shooting schedule.
Despite the casting of Flynn and de Havilland, Warner's biggest risk was in Captain Blood's swashbuckling theme. During the silent era, audiences packed movie houses to watch Douglas Fairbanks cut a dash in movies like Robin Hood (1922) and The Black Pirate (1926), but costume dramas largely fell out of favor in the early 1930s in exchange for fast-talking gangster movies, risque comedies, and wisecracking musicals. However, the arrival of movie censorship in 1934 and changing audiences tastes -- The Count of Monte Cristo, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and Treasure Island were all big hits in 1934 -- almost guaranteed that Captain Blood was going to rake in the cash at the box office, although no one could have predicted the massive blockbuster it would become (estimates vary, but Warner's made more than $1 million in profits from Captain Blood).

Viewed today, Captain Blood is still as fresh and exciting as it was on its first release. Curtiz, who would later helm such iconic Warner's films as Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), Casablanca (1943), and Mildred Pierce (1945), moves everything along at a brisk pace. He masterfully directs several crackling action scenes -- the highlights are a beach-side sword fight between Flynn and rival pirate Basil Rathbone (clip below) and the climactic battle scene -- but Curtiz also excels at adding plenty of humor (mostly courtesy of Flynn's wisecracks) and romance to his films (courtesy of Flynn and de Havilland's crackling chemistry).
I'll leave you with the Flynn-Rathbone sword fight, which, in my opinion, is better than their iconic duel in The Adventures of Robin Hood (a gentle warning that if you haven't seen the film, this clip does contain spoilers).
Happy 101st birthday to Ms. de Havilland and happy Fourth of July to all my readers.
Captain Blood is available on DVD and video on demand.

I'm not one for swashbucklers, but it is impossible not to be enthralled by the ever-enthralling Mr. Flynn.
Hamlette (Rachel) July 4, 2017 at 2:21 PM
I haven't seen this for quite a few years, but my kids are on a pirate kick right now, and they really like both Flynn and de Havilland because we watch Adventures of Robin Hood a lot, so I'm thinking I'll put this on next time we're all bored!
Lê July 5, 2017 at 4:08 PM
Well, I didn't know that Donat refused the role because he had asthma! It was a very informative post. It never fails to amaze me how young and lovely Olivia is in this - and I agree that the sword fight is outstanding, maybe the only one inferior to Rathbone's and Power's in The Mark of Zorro.
Phyl July 5, 2017 at 4:46 PM
Next time I watch the film I'll have to pay more attention to Flynn's hands. I can't imagine any of those other actors in the role! And I agree about the sword fight.
Thanks so much for participating in this Blogathon!
Kurt Burgess July 14, 2017 at 2:42 PM
Thanks for showcasing this wonderful film. What a way to start a career for Flynn. His next five years are going to be terrific. The next decade was hit & miss. Then all downhill. Rathbone had fencing training so Flynn scared him. Did not know what he was going to do next with a sword.

Q: CSS: Flexbox Property Stuck At Default - Stretch Good day everyone! I just started learning flex box. I applied the align item: stretch property and it gave me the expected outcome. I deleted the style immediately from my CSS so I could proceed with my lesson but the browser still kept behaving like I still have the align-item: stretch property.
I have deleted my browser cache/data, loaded using different browser but it's still giving me the same problem. I'm almost frustrated, please help me. I'm currently using Chrome browser.

A: Here is what I got for you. So I have an example below which should explain exactly why you have this issue, but let me give you an exlaination of my code.

*

*container and container1 shows that stretch is the default behaviour of flexbox, so even if you deleted the code nothing will happen.

*container3-reverse-axis shows you what the example I gave looks by default with stretch if you reverse the axis.

*container3-flex-end shows you what happens if you set it now to anything else like flex-end.

*container4-default and container4-justify shows you what you probably are looking for and expected to happen in the first place.

Here is a great website that explains flex box in a lot of detail.

A: This seems like an extremely unusual thing to happen. I don't really have anything to advise on it unless you post your code along with the question.
Maybe then we can find some error with the code.
Until then, are you absolutely 100% sure you saved your both HTML and CSS page before trying to see the result?
Asking this because it is very unlikely for something like this to happen.

What a difference a couple of weeks makes in TV land! A couple of weeks ago, we were bombarded by tons of season finales, and now we are a little less busy with a few new episodes each night—it's bittersweet. On one hand, it's a nice break, but still, I miss all my shows. While I ponder my need to fulfill my TV addiction, let's see what we're recommending to help ease the withdrawal.
Tonight is the second season premiere of Mistresses, and what a mess we're going to get into after last season. This show is pure drama that has great writing along with a fabulous cast. I have to be honest that at first, I wasn't sure I was going to like this show because it was too much like a soap opera, but after a few episodes, I was hooked. Whether it's an illicit affair or a secret pregnancy, this show is one to keep you on the edge of your seat constantly with eagerness to see where they'll go next. If you haven't watched this show in the past, now is the time to start for sure.
On tonight's episode, "Rebuild," eight months later, Savi, having cheated death, makes the most of her second chance. Karen struggles to rebound from loss, both personal and professional. April's life gets interesting when old friend, Mickey (guest star Joseph May), returns and pushes her to make some changes, and Joss tries her hand at a new job: party planner to wealthy Angelenos.
To see what our crazy ladies get up to this season, tune in to ABC at 10/9c.
I'll also be watching MasterChef, 24: Live Another Day, Whose Line is it Anyway?, and Rewrapped.
So yeah, if you can't tell, I'm anxious for the new season to start. There's lots up in the air, and I can't wait to see how the chips will fall. Walt Longmire is truly one of the good guys. He's not afraid to do what needs to be done, but he's all about truth, justice, and the American way. I love him.
On tonight's episode, "The White Warrior," Walt deals with the aftermath of Henry's arrest and Branch's shooting. The search for the shooter, however, is complicated by Branch's insistence that it was someone known to be dead.
Find out if Walt can get Henry out of custody and if they can solve Branch's shooting tonight on A&E at 10/9c.
I'll also be watching/DVRing MasterChef, Rewrapped, Whose Line is it Anyway?, American Ninja Warrior, & Mystery Diners.
If you're having trouble finding something new to watch these days, why not check out the fun, 30-minute cooking competition series Rewrapped, hosted by Joey Fatone? Each week, three chefs battle it out to see who can earn the most points after 2 rounds of cooking. In the first round, the chefs try to reproduce a classic snack treat, and head judge Marc Summers and his guest judges give them points based on how closely their product looks and tastes like the original. Then, in the second round, the chefs must use the snack product in an inventive way to create a unique dish of their own.
I've been quite impressed so far at how well the chefs have been able to reproduce these classic snacks. I wouldn't even know where to start if someone handed me a specific cookie, pretzel, snack cake, or potato chip and asked me to recreate it from scratch in 30 minutes!
On tonight's episode, "Milano, Milano! I Love You!" the chefs take on Pepperidge Farm Mint Milano Cookies.
See who takes home the prize tonight on Food Network at 8/7c.
I'll also be watching/recording MasterChef and 24: Live Another Day.

The Howard League for Penal Reform is the oldest penal reform charity in the world.
It was established first as the Howard Association in 1866. Its founding aim was the "promotion of the most efficient means of penal treatment and crime prevention" and to promote "a reformatory and radically preventive treatment of offenders". In 1921 it merged with the Penal Reform League to form the Howard League for Penal Reform. Then, in 1948, it incorporated the National Association for the Abolition of Capital Punishment.
The University of Leicester, together with the Howard League as a collaborative partner, has secured funding for an ESRC Doctoral Studentship to produce the first history of the Howard League for Penal Reform.
An objective of the research is to enhance the Howard League's understanding of itself as an organisation. This will be achieved through research into the relationship between its campaign work, the larger economic and social context, and the trajectory of penal reform, at specific moments in the past.
The research will be undertaken by Jess Kebbell.
Supervision team: Professor Clare Anderson, Professor Steven King and Anita Dockley.

Q: Comb Sort Not Working In C++ I'm having problems with trying to code a comb sort in c++. I cannot see what I'm doing wrong, it just doesn't sort the list.
 void comb()
{
    int gap = 9;
    int temp;
    double shrink = 1.3;
    bool swapped;
    do
    {
        gap = int (gap/shrink);
        if (gap < 1)
        {
            gap = 1;
        }
        swapped = false;
        for (i = 0; (i + gap) <= 10; i++)
        {
            if (list[i] > list[i + gap])
            {
                temp = list[i];
                list[i] = list[i + gap];
                list[i + gap] = temp;
                swapped = true;
            }
        }
        arrayout();
    }
    while ((gap > 1) & (swapped == true));
}

A: First, I wouldn't hard code the 9 and 10.
Second, I assume arrayout() prints the array? You're doing that inside the loop, before it's sorted. Move it to the end, after the loop.
Third, the AND operator is && not &.  The & is a bitwise and - not what you want.
Otherwise, it looks ok.

A: So imagine the first time through with an array [1, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 6, 9].
a[0] < a[9], so it does not get swapped.
Now you get to your while test:  gap >1 but swapped is false. so you exit.
You will have the same problem if all the items at any gap size are already in order.
You need to get all the way down to gap size 1 before you start testing swapped.
(@dsa42 is right, it should be &&, but that doesn't change the logic error.)

Northwestern University Project Wins Historic Preservation Award
Northwestern University has received an Historic Preservation award from the Evanston Preservation Commission for the 1 Northwestern Place Intersection and Emergency Access Improvements project. The project won in the Sensitive Additional/Alteration category, which recognizes successfully integration of an additional or alteration within an architectural style and complements an historic area.
Stanley Consultants designed the project, which consisted of improvements to a parking lot and access to historic buildings. The alterations improved aesthetics with additional landscaping and green space, architectural improvements and decorative lighting that enhanced the overall area. The project replaced paved surface with walkways, green space and bicycle facilities. It incorporated landscaping and architectural improvements to integrate parking spaces, drop off areas and loading zones.
The historic preservation commission lauded the physical changes inherent in the construction projects as well as the ability to tastefully blend the alterations with existing buildings and spaces through the use of landscaping and environmental considerations.
Stanley Consultants worked closely with Northwestern University and the City of Evanston to reconfigure the parking lot near Garrett, as the project will culminate in the implementation of a new traffic signal at the lot's entrance. Fire lanes, driveways and sidewalks were restructured, and new lighting, security cameras, emergency phones and landscaping have been implemented and a traffic light is being installed.

These are the words of Dr. Cedric F Garland, professor, Division of Epidemiology, University of California San Diego and were posted at Medscape.com in an article entitled "Vitamin D and mortality risk: should clinical practice change? [MedScape.com Aug 13, 2014] MedScape is a website dedicated to educating doctors.
If Dr. Garland's recommendations were fully adopted we're talking about the end of doctoring as we know it. The masses would become less doctor dependent and mortality rates would decline more demonstrably than when antibiotics were first introduced. There would be trillions of dollars of healthcare savings that could be diverted to other important sectors of every economy in the world. But will modern medicine let such a profound revolution happen?
Dr. Garland says physicians may not be ready to lead the world's population into what he calls "a new golden era" in preventive medicine.
Oftentimes "physicians are not impressed to do anything to correct low vitamin D levels when they are found," says Dr. Garland. This is particularly true in northern climates where vitamin D levels are abjectly low in winter months, he notes. This suggests the public will have to take matters in their own hands rather than relying on doctors for direction.
Despite an overwhelming volume of evidence that begs for mass worldwide vitamin D supplementation to quell the incidence of a broad number of human maladies that have plagued mankind throughout history, many physicians await larger humans studies that won't begin to be published till 2017. Essentially, modern medicine is dragging its feet over any idea of implementing preventive health measures that will reduce the demand for doctoring.
That it has taken modern medicine over nine decades to discover and test the full health benefits of vitamin D reveals a shameful overreliance upon prescription drugs.
This author believes vitamin D will be THE moral test for modern medicine — whether its mission is truly to prevent disease from occurring in the first place or to game the public as it is currently doing by establishment of intentionally low vitamin intake levels in order to ensure there is a certain level of disease to treat.
Dr. Garland says no one should run a blood serum vitamin D level of less than 30 nanograms/milliliter of blood. The Institute of Medicine guideline calls for supplementation only when blood levels drop below 20 nanograms/milliliter. Using any blood test below 30 nanogram level as an indicator, two-thirds of the American population would then need vitamin supplementation. Only one third of the US population is below 20 nanograms/milliliter.
But higher blood concentrations may yield even greater health benefits. According to Dr. Garland, raising the blood serum vitamin D levels from 20 to 30 nanograms/milliliter would reduce the incidence of breast, bowel and lung cancer by 80%!
Despite this, according to Dr. Garland, some doctors mistakenly believe their patients are "perfectly fine" with vitamin D blood levels in the 12-15 nanogram/milliliter range.
Maybe some lawsuits against doctors who fail to test for and prescribe vitamin D would force a change. That is what Dr. John Cannell, founder of The Vitamin D Council believes.
Dr. Garland says some physicians have expressed undue concern that over-doses of vitamin D may increase the incidence of disease. But he says: "Whether it is scurvy, pellagra, or beriberi, an increase in niacin for pellagra, vitamin C for scurvy, or thiamine for beriberi does not result in an increase in incidence of the disease." He doesn't believe there is any convincing evidence that high blood levels of vitamin D induce disease as some researchers allege.
Indeed, recently published reports not even considered in the data that Dr. Garland used to develop his recommendations are compelling.
The modern era of "magic bullet" drugs emanated from the first therapeutic use of penicillin in the 1940s. Dependency upon synthetic antibiotics has literally led to a dead-end-street as antibiotic resistance is now a seemingly insurmountable problem.
Regardless, whatever achievements that were attributed to the antibiotic era of medicine will appear pale next to widespread use of vitamin D food supplements.
More convincing evidence could be produced if universal vitamin D blood testing and food fortification and/or dietary supplementation in a small northern European country were to take place as a demonstration project. A whole country could serve as a learning lab for the rest of the world. Vitamin D levels are typically low in winter in northern Europe.
Don't expect Big Pharma to cooperate with any effort to replace drugs with vitamins. In fact, there are a number of vitamin D-like drugs in the research and development pipeline that Big Pharma wants to introduce as expensive substitutes for vitamin D.
Vitamin D advocates should not be shocked by negative or null studies involving vitamin D in human populations. Oftentimes dosage is too low or the ability to metabolize and transport vitamin D is compromised in certain groups. For example, adults who are obese may require 40% greater vitamin D intake than lean individuals to attain the same vitamin D blood level. [Endocrinology Practice Aug 6, 2014] Also, proper metabolism of vitamin D requires adequate magnesium intake, another nutrient that is commonly in short supply particularly in western diets. [BMC Medicine Oct 24, 2013] Shortages of magnesium may result in failed studies involving vitamin D.
Indeed, photographic evidence of "heliotherapy" practiced in 1926 at a hospital in Perrysburg, New Jersey serves to question whether the many treatments and diagnostic measures practiced in modern medicine today can be truly described an advancement.
The current medicine model categorically restricts vitamin supplements to health promotion rather than treatment or prevention of disease that is the exclusive territory of prescription drugs that have undergone human clinical trials.
Yet nutritional deficiency diseases such as scurvy (vitamin C), pellagra (niacin) and beriberi (thiamin vitamin B1) were remedied without large human clinical trials because they worked almost without fail. Aspirin, digitalis, insulin, penicillin, and many vaccines also came into common use without large human clinical trials.
It is clear that the FDA drug approval process is driving up the cost of medicines and is used as a categorical barrier against vitamins being used for disease treatment or prevention. In a free market, dietary supplements like vitamin D should be regulated to prove they are relatively safe and free of contaminants and labeled correctly. Their effectiveness should be obvious to those who use them for whatever purpose they choose.
Imagine all the clinical trials needed to approve vitamin D for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, mental depression, infection, sepsis, tuberculosis, heart failure, osteoporosis, etc., etc. Then vitamin D would become a high-priced drug. Commercial interests in modern medicine now stand in the way of simple, economical cures like vitamin D.
Doctors cling to prescribing FDA-approved drugs because they fill their appointment book as they require a doctor's office visit to obtain a prescription and they also garner a drug consultation fee from insurance plans.
It is obvious that patients could get well without all the doctoring by going directly to the vitamin shop and skipping the doctor's office altogether. But patients have grown so accustomed to insurance plans paying for drugs they often won't shell out a few dollars out of their pockets for vitamins.
Also, doctors didn't go to medical school to become vitamin pushers. So there is a culture in modern medicine against remedies like vitamin D.
The diet provides a paltry amount of vitamin D from fortified milk, fish, eggs and other sources, not enough to sufficiently raise blood levels. Even though sunshine is free and skin exposure to the sun's UV rays produces vitamin D in the skin, the current sun-phobic indoor generation is not likely to maintain adequate vitamin D levels throughout the year, particularly during winter months. Only lifeguards and roofers are known to maintain vitamin D adequacy.
Don't think the public is going to be easily convinced to supplement their diet with vitamin D capsules even though they are very economical (often less than 10-cents a day). Health habits are slow to change. This author offered free vitamin D pills to a radio audience in Las Vegas. All radio listeners had to do was pick them up or just pay for the cost of shipping. However, few radio listeners took advantage of the free offer and the supply of vitamin D pills was never exhausted. So even free didn't change health habits.
Another dilemma is that patients often rely on their doctors for advice about vitamins. And they are likely to be warned away over unfounded concerns about overdosing.
Don't think Big Pharma, physicians groups or public health authorities are going to avidly embrace vitamin D supplementation. They have to protect turf.
True to form, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recently nixed the idea of routine vitamin D testing. [USA Today June 23, 2014] The National Institutes of Health should have held a major health symposium on this topic by now and the Centers for Disease Control issued a major public health bulletin calling for vitamin D supplementation as the centerpiece of a new preventive paradigm in modern medicine. None of that has happened or is expected to happen.
The big message from Dr. Garland is that modern medicine and the public need not wait for results from more definitive trials. For centuries mankind has had to rely upon sunlight as the sole source of vitamin D. Later sunlamps came into practice. Today, "sunlight in a bottle" in the form of commercially available vitamin D pills are an inexpensive remedy to what ails mankind. As Dr. Garland says, it is time to usher in a new golden era of medicine with vitamin D. Websites such as Dr. John Cannell's VitaminDCouncil.com and Henry Lahore's VitaminDWiki.com are informing the world about this revolution. So is Dr. Cedric Garland. ©2014 Bill Sardi, Knowledge of Health, Inc.

Scott Parker bemoans Fulham defending and the ease of Preston North End's goals
Scott Parker had to watch on as his side suffered defeat 2-1 to Preston North End at Deepdale.
Tom Sandells
Scott Parker has bemoaned the performance of his Fulham side and the ease of which Preston North End had for their goals.
Parker's high-flying Fulham side arrived at Deepdale having won four of their last five games whilst sitting third in the Championship.
Goals from Sean Maguire and David Nugent either side of half time put North End 2-0 up before Aleksandar Mitrovic made it a tense end with a goal on 82 minutes.
The Lilywhites defended resolutely, despite Fulham goalkeeper Marek Rodak coming up for the last corner of the game, to see the result out at 2-1.
Speaking after the game, Fulham boss Parker was complimentary of PNE, but also critical of the performance of his own men.
He said: "They (Preston) did well. We knew what we were coming to tonight, they've been on a bad run with four defeats and they wanted to turn that around.
"It was a good performance from them. They didn't have to work for their two goals too hard or do too much to earn them but it's one of them things, they've done well.
"The second goal was a poor goal really, it takes the breath out of us and kills our momentum but we finish the game strong. We finish the game huffing and puffing.
"It's not our day today.
"At both ends of the pitch I don't think we were good enough tonight.
"Defensively we gave away sloppy, cheap goals. I just felt at the top end of the pitch we lacked a real cutting edge.
"We got to the edge of the box pretty well, we got into the final third pretty well but lacked quality in that sense."
Aside from the three goals in the game, there could have also been tree red cards.
Double boost for Preston North End as Scott Sinclair eyes first start and Daniel Johnson ready to return
In the end, two were given, one to Fulham Denis Odoi for a late aerial challenge on Patrick Bauer and one to PNE's Joe Rafferty for a poor tackle on Joe Bryan.
Ben Pearson may also count himself lucky for only seeing a yellow card for what replays showed to be a two-footed tackle on Josh Onomah; the Fulham boss didn't see the lack of a third red card as a reason behind his sides defeat though.
"It looked a bad challenge from where I was standing at real time," Parker explained. "I haven't seen it back again.
"I just looked at it quickly and it seemed like a red, it was a two footed challenge and obviously two footed challenges are dangerous play.
"That's just one of them things.
"That isn't the reason it hasn't gone right for us tonight.
"In the end we huffed and puffed and hit the bar and we had some good opportunities, on another maybe we're walking out of here with a draw.
"Overall the feeling I have right now is disappointment."
"The facts are we go home empty-handed, we can't do anything about that tonight.
"Decisions and what's happened to this game are long gone now."

Q: Multiple spinners at once First of all sorry for my english.
I have a page with multiple ajax request that can be running simoultaneosly. Each of that request start a full page spinner in page ($.spinner().start()) to avoid any interaction with the page until de request end, and then the request do a $.spinner().stop(). My problem is when I have multiple request at the same time. When the first one ends, the spinner is stopped when the other requests are running yet.
I don't know how to control if there are others requests running to avoid stopping the spinner.
Any ideas?
I was thinking making a semaphore variable for each request, but I don't have a fixed number of requests.
Thank you.
