Barenboim performs historic 'peace' concert in Gaza Strip
Renowned Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim, a supporter of Palestinian rights, has performed a rare concert in Palestine with an orchestra of accomplished European musicians.
The concert was the first of its kind
The concert Daniel Barenboim conducted on Tuesday afternoon was the first time such a large group of international classical musicians had performed in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
The event also marked the first time the 68-year-old maestro, well-known for his reconciliation efforts in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, had managed to enter Gaza. For nearly five years, the area has been isolated by an Israeli blockade.
"This is a unique gesture from the whole of Europe for you, Gaza," said Barenboim Tuesday at the start of the concert. "You have been blocked here for many years. And this is why we all came today (…) not only to give you solace and maybe pleasure in listening, but so you understand that many people from all over the world care for you."
Most of the audience members had never attended a classical concert
For many of the 700 people in the audience, it was the first time they had attended a classical concert, with some breaking into spontaneous applause after each movement.
The performance will make a difference because Barenboim "is bringing a message of peace," Fatma Shahin, an English teacher accompanying schoolgirls from the Jabaliya refugee camp, told AFP news agency. "The girls will like it because it gives them a message - a chance to think before judging people."
Put together especially for the event, the 25-member "Orchestra for Gaza" played Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" and Symphony No. 40. The one-hour concert was held at a beachfront hotel in the northern Gaza Strip.
The ensemble included players from five of Europe's top orchestras: the Berlin Philharmonic, Staatskapelle Berlin, the Orchestra of La Scala di Milano and the Vienna Philharmonic. The musicians had entered Gaza via the Rafah border crossing in Egypt earlier on Tuesday.
Controversial support
Barenboim is well-known for his peace activism in the Middle East
Barenboim has stirred controversy by publically opposing the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, where he has also performed, and actively promotes Arab-Israeli exchange. In 1999 he co-founded the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, together with the late Palestinian-American academic Edward Said, which is made up of young Arab and Israeli musicians.
"I am a Palestinian," Barenboim said at the concert, reaping applause from the audience. "I am also Israeli, so you see it is possible to be both."
The conductor took honorary Palestinian citizenship in 2008 and also holds Argentinean, Israeli and Spanish passports. He lives in Berlin.

We are committed to fighting for justice in cases that make a real difference — not coupon settlements or cases based on technicalities where no actual harm has been done. More and more we hear about large corporations engaging in horrific conduct that harms real people. As politicians rush to the aid of the corporations and seek to grant them immunity, who is fighting and advocating for the victims? We are.
Sometimes the only or best mechanism for challenging illegal conduct is a class action. Whether you have been sold a dangerous or defective product, defrauded by large financial institution, subjected to illegal workplace conditions and payment practices, killed or debilitated by a dangerous pharmaceutical, or harmed by environmental pollution, the class action may be the only practical way to vindicate your rights. Sometimes the individual damages are too small or the opponent too large and well-funded to be able to justify an individual lawsuit. We can help.
As a consumer who has been swindled or harmed by a company or its marketing practices you and everyone else who was harmed or deceived by similar conduct have the right to bring a lawsuit. This is known as a class action lawsuit. It is often challenging and complex, but with the aid of experienced and skillful lawyers, these suits often bring about a favorable result and positive change.
At the Middleton firm of Atterbury, Kammer & Haag, S.C., we are attorneys who are committed to our clients. We have a highly successful history and have recovered substantial settlements for our clients in Madison and throughout Wisconsin and the United States. Our attorneys' experience in class cases includes: involvement in one of the largest wage and hour settlements in the country, successfully settling a class case against a life insurance company for not paying benefits owed, working on the watershed consumer fraud case against Volkswagen which resulted in one of the largest consumer fraud settlements in U.S. history, and doing work for lead counsel in the Target data breach MDL.
Strong legal representation can be the deciding factor in a class action lawsuit. If you have been harmed in a way that you believe is shared by numerous other potential class members, contact us and allow us to investigate a potential class action at no cost to you.
Do You Have Cause For A Class Action Suit?
A large number of people have suffered the same harm.
Everyone harmed was harmed by the same product in the same way.
There is a firm or attorney who will represent the lawsuit.
It may be difficult to know on your own if you have a lawsuit. Our attorneys will meet with you to assess the merits of your case. We will give you clear, honest and straightforward advice on your next best steps.
Sometimes it is difficult to know the difference between a large number of individual cases that have been consolidated in one court for pre-trial proceedings from a class action. Atterbury, Kammer & Haag, S.C., handles both types of cases. If you are not sure what you have, or what to do, give us a call and we can help you make an informed decision and discuss your options.
The attorneys at Atterbury, Kammer & Haag, S.C., have decades of experience with Wisconsin consumer fraud and class action cases. All three of the attorneys have earned the highest rating a trial lawyer can receive in this country from Avvo and have been selected for inclusion on Wisconsin Super Lawyers lists.

Megan of Colorado sent this photo of a solar energy workshop on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. According to Megan, 40 percent of the residents in the reservation live without electricity andNative Americans across the nation are ten times more likely to lack access to electricity than most Americans. "Many tribes are looking to renewable energy as a way to provide reliable, clean energy to their tribal members," she said.
Steven of Seattle took a picture of his granddaughters next to a solar panel before he put it and 29 others on his house. Steven wrote that he wanted to go solar to protect his granddaughters' future and support local clean energy in his community for years to come while helping to break America's dependence on dirty fossil fuels.
Seth of Rhode Island works for a company called BCX Energy. The company decided to "put our money where our mouth is, that is we installed solar on the roof of the building housing our office."Pictured left to right are Roni Portugali (construction lead), Mike Cahill (VP), Anja Schnoor (technical marketing), Keith Boivin (President).

Abraham from New York captured an image of Dawes Glacier in Alaska and said, "Global warming is causing the glaciers to melt, water levels to rise, and is wreaking havoc with our climate. Air pollution from burning fossil fuels is at the source of the problem. Solar power is part of the solution to cleaning up the environment and lessening our reliance on fossil fuels."
Sharon of Texas put solar on her llama farm near Austin! She and her husband also try to save energy by hanging clothes to dry. The llamas got involved too, as her husband described: "…(the llamas) didn't understand that my wife's arms were raised to hang clothes rather than to pull down branches for them to strip leaves." Over seven years, they've produced 53,336 kWh of solar and saved 90,672 lb. CO2.
Kris in Arizona said, "Love this strong young man looking into the Tucson Mountains and sun standing boldly next to rooftop solar panels. His grin shows he positively knows what a beautiful transition into clean energy looks like, and it is bright!"
Howard of Arizona installed panels in 2010 and a few years later invested in an electric car, the Ford C-Max. He now uses his solar-powered house to power a clean energy car. He told us, "I can charge (the car) at home and in CO at my Dad's house that also has 18 solar panels. No pollution."
Jeff from Massachusetts installed solar in 2011 and used solar incentives to pay off the 36-panel array less than four years. Jeff now works with a nonprofit, Solarize Salem. He told us, "Solar is one of the ways we can make this a more sustainable and resilient place. This is about clean air and water and not wasting the finite resources we have."

But the Super Galactic Center isn't done there. Obama's natal Mercury at 1 Leo is in exact sextile, and his natal Jupiter at 0 Aquarius lies in a tight trine. This is the source of his highly persuasive communication style, and potentially, a great deal of luck and political savvy. Having these three points, so vital for a successful politician, yoked to the anomaly with the greatest pull in the cosmos is an inestimable asset.
Mercury is also conjoined the Black Hole at 2 Leo, and forms a T-square with a pair of opposed Quasars at 4 Taurus and Scorpio. Black Hole Mercury natives can be powerful, persuasive speakers, though they can have difficulty in getting their message heard. Obama has certainly overcome this obstacle, probably due to the linkage with the two Quasars, so useful in success and accomplishment. What results is a very sensitive and forceful communicator, one with fresh ideas from a unique perspective. The connection with alternate realities and parallel dimensions afforded by Mercury's contact with a Black Hole allows the native to see, not just the way things are, but the ways they might become. A dreamer by nature, Black Hole Mercury's conceptualizations can be birthed into this reality by the manifestation capacity of the Quasars.
There are significant Galactic Center contacts as well, which provide Obama with a high level of visibility and the ability to reach a global audience with his message, and ultimately, to impact the entire planet. Uranus from 23 Leo is in trine, with Mars at 22 Virgo squared and Saturn at 25 Capricorn in semisextile.
Your mind understands what you have been taught; your heart what is true.
That Saturn also conjoins a Pulsar and squares the Black Hole at 24 Aries. Saturn/Pulsar lends a practical, efficient quality to interactions with the Media which involve career matters; Obama is likely to be canny and effective in dealing with the press, and has a natural knack for disseminating his message, particularly via high-tech, cutting-edge technologies, as indicated by the exact inconjunct between Saturn and Uranus. The square to the Black Hole could suggest an accruing of extensive executive power, and is also indicative of one who makes an impressive showing in his chosen career, but could lead to sudden mis-steps and unexpected losses.
Obama's timing so far in his presidential bid has been astrologically impressive. When the formation of the exploratory committee was announced on January 16, the transit Sun at 25 Capricorn was exactly conjoined his natal Saturn, symbol of both his career life and the presidency itself. That energy is reiterated on the date he will officially announce his candidacy, February 10, which shows a Sun/Saturn opposition in the sky from 21 Aquarius to Leo. Both Mars and Pluto clustered closely at the Galactic Center, garnering a greater-than-usual level of attention for an exploratory committee, and Mercury at 1 Aquarius conjoined his natal Jupiter and exactly squared its natal placement, again inflating his message and providing national exposure.
On Election Day 2008, November 4, Obama's nativity will be strongly tied to the transit sky. His 12 Leo Sun will conjoin the South Node at 13 Leo, and is exactly squared the Election Day Sun at 12 Scorpio, perhaps giving him a karmic edge and bringing his life's purpose to fruition. Saturn in the sky at 18 Virgo will be closing in on his natal Mars at 22 Virgo, which is also closely sextile transit Mars at 21 Scorpio, perhaps providing a last-ditch burst of energy which could propel his campaign first across the finish line. The Moon in Capricorn on Election Day will be transiting his natal Saturn, a possible indicator of massive public support.
Obama also has three very distinct connections with the USA chart. Venus at 1 Cancer is conjoined both the USA Venus at 3 Cancer and its Jupiter at 5 Cancer, which may give him an advantage with women's support and fundraising (both Venus), and attract the nation with his political philosophy (Jupiter) of compromise and cooperation. Additionally, his Mars at 22 Virgo exactly conjoins the nation's Neptune, and his Saturn at 25 Capricorn is closely conjunct the USA Pluto at 27 Capricorn. If his passion (Mars) can inspire us (Neptune), he may well attain the most powerful (Pluto) executive office (Saturn) in the world.

MASERS AND ASSASSINATION
by Alex Miller-Mignone
Masers are Deep Space anomalies which violently spew vast amounts of gaseous material from their cores, extending far into space. Sometimes likened to cosmic cattle prods, their actions are volatile and random. In astrological interpretation, they represent points of vibrant, but uncontrolled energy, and can translate into character as heightened enthusiasm, the ability to excite or inspire others—or as controversy and chaotic disruption with resulting debilitation, even degeneration into madness, if appropriately placed. Their activation in mundane events often signals violence, disorder and turmoil, a volatile perturbation in the collective.
The genesis of this research came in early January, just after the Iowa primary, when the airwaves were full of hyperbole comparing Barack Obama's electric style and the excitement generated by his campaign to the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy 40 years previous. Something about the comparison felt uncomfortable to me, considering how the Kennedy campaign ended. Obama's 12 Leo Sun closely conjoins a Maser at 13 Leo, the source of the fervor and passion he engenders, but intimating potential problems as well, via controversy or divisive elements which could result in a breakdown or implosion of some sort. Thumbing up RFK's birthdate didn't ease my concerns—born 20 November 1925, Robert Kennedy's 27 Scorpio Sun exactly opposed another Maser at 27 Taurus.
Intrigued, I jotted down a quick off-the-cuff list of assassinated political figures of the 20th century—John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Anwar Sadat, Indira Gandhi, Yitzhak Rabin, Benazir Bhutto—and began looking for birth data. In brief, each of these individuals shows a Sun/Maser connection at birth, and a Mars/Maser connection at death. The results of that research formed the basis of this article.
John F. Kennedy,
35th President of the United States, was born 29 May 1917, with the Sun at 6 Gemini just one degree shy of the Maser at 7 Gemini. A natal Mars at 18 Taurus within the event horizon, or orb of influence, of the Black Hole at 16 Taurus indicates a potential for a sudden, violent death. At his assassination by Lee Harvey Oswald on 22 November 1963, Mars at 20 Sagittarius was conjunct the Black Hole at 19 Sagittarius and sesquiquadrate (135 degrees, the Disseminating Phase aspect) the Maser at 7 Taurus. Additionally, Saturn in the nativity at 27 Cancer (representing executive power, Kennedy's career, and the office of the presidency) is conjunct another Black Hole and exactly sextile the Maser at 27 Taurus. Saturn at 17 Aquarius for the day of his death is in exact binovile (80 degrees) to the 7 Taurus Maser, and the Sun that day at 29 Scorpio closely opposes the 27 Taurus Maser, thus is also trine natal Saturn.
Civil Rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Martin Luther King, Jr. (born 15 January 1929)
had a 25 Capricorn Sun, squared the Black Hole at 24 Aries and trine the Maser at 27 Taurus. Natal Mars at 21 Gemini is semisquare the 7 Taurus Maser. At his assassination by James Earl Ray on 4 April 1968, transit Mars at 5 Taurus was just approaching exact conjunction to that same anomaly, with the Sun at 14 Aries trine another Maser at 13 Leo.
As stated previously, former Attorney General, US Senator and leading 1968 Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy,
born 20 November 1925, sported a Sun at 27 Scorpio in exact opposition to a Maser, with natal Mars at 4 Scorpio conjunct a Black Hole at 6 Scorpio and opposed the Maser at 7 Taurus. When he was gunned down by Sirhan Sirhan the night he won the California primary on June 6, 1968, Mars at 20 Gemini opposed the Black Hole at 19 Sagittarius and was semisquare the 7 Taurus Maser.
was Egypt's third president, serving from 1970 until his death in 1981.
As successor to Nasser, Sadat led Egypt's forces in the 1973 Yom Kippur War with Israel, but was also instrumental in the Camp David Accords and the resulting Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty of 1979. The 3 Capricorn Sun from his 25 December 1918 nativity is in exact biquintile (144 degrees) to the 27 Taurus Maser, and natal Mars at 4 Aquarius opposed a Black Hole at 2 Leo and squared the 7 Taurus Maser.
As head of state, his natal Saturn at 28 Leo was also opposed a Black Hole at 27 Aquarius and squared the 27 Taurus Maser.
On 6 October 1981, Sadat was in the reviewing stands for the annual parade honoring the Yom Kippur War victory when he was attacked from a troop truck by lieutenant Khalid Islambouli and others, with assault rifles and grenades.
At the assassination the Sun and Saturn at 13 and 12 Libra conjoined the Black Hole at 13 Libra, in sextile to the Maser at 13 Leo. Transit Mars at 21 Leo was quintile (72 degrees) the Maser at 7 Gemini, an interesting reiteration of the natal Sun/Maser contact from the same aspect series.
India's fourth Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi
served as first female head of state from 1966 to 1977 and again from 1980 until her death.
She was the daughter of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and the mother of Rajiv Gandhi, the country's 7th Prime Minister (also assassinated, in 1991).
Born 19 November 1917, Gandhi's nativity shows a 26 Scorpio Sun opposed the 27 Taurus Maser, with Mars at 9 Virgo exactly conjunct a Black Hole and trine the Maser at 7 Taurus. Natal Saturn at 14 Leo conjoins the 13 Leo Maser, another head of state with Saturn/Maser lost to violence.
On 31 October 1984, Gandhi was passing through her garden to an interview for a documentary when she was fired upon with machine guns by two Sikh members of her bodyguard, Satwant and Beant Singh. Sikh separatist violence had been growing for several years, and the attack was in retaliation for government crackdowns and the desecration of a Sikh shrine in Punjab that autumn.
At her assassination transit Mars at 18 Capricorn conjoined the Black Hole at 19 Capricorn and was tredecile (108 degrees) to the 7 Taurus Maser, with the transit Sun at 8 Scorpio just past opposition to it.
Yizhak Rabin,
Israeli Prime Minister from 1974-77 and again from 1992 until his death in 1995, shared the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize with Shimon Perez and Yasser Arafat for the Oslo Accords, which attempted to reconcile Israel and Palestine.
Rabin succeeded Golda Meir and ordered Operation Entebbe, wherein Israeli commandos rescued airline passengers hijacked by Palestinian terrorists in Uganda.
He was Prime Minister during the outbreak of the first Palestinian Intifada, which he brutally suppressed, afterward becoming an advocate of peaceful negotiation between the fratricidal states.
Born 1 March 1922, Rabin had a 10 Pisces Sun, sextile the 7 Taurus Maser and square another at 6 Gemini. Natal Mars at 5 Sagittarius exactly conjoins a Black Hole and activates both these anomalies by inconjunct and opposition. Natal Saturn at 6 Libra is also exactly trine the 6 Gemini Maser, and forms a Yod, or Finger of Destiny, with Mars and the 7 Taurus Maser.
On 4 November 1995, Rabin was leaving a Tel Aviv rally in support of the Oslo agreements when he was shot by an Orthodox Jewish student, Yigal Amir, who opposed the accord.
Mars at 10 Sagittarius exactly conjoined a Black Hole and opposed the early Gemini Maser, by then transited on to 7 Gemini. The Sun at 11 Scorpio was squared the 13 Leo Maser, with Saturn at 18 Pisces quintile to the Maser at 28 Taurus.
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto
(served 1988-90 and 1993-96), born 21 June 1953, had a 29 Gemini Sun semisquare the 13 Leo Maser, with natal Mars at 4 Cancer exactly conjunct a Black Hole, sextile the 7 Taurus Maser and decile (36 degrees) the 27 Taurus Maser.
Natal Saturn at 20 Libra retrograde was biquintile the 27 Taurus Maser and squared the 19 Capricorn Black Hole. She had been in self-imposed exile from Pakistan since being forced from office in 1996 under a cloud of corruption charges, but returned in October 2007 to challenge General Pervez Musharraf for the presidency.
On 27 December 2007, Bhutto was shot after leaving a political rally in Rawalpindi, and explosives were detonated near her car; government officials blamed al Qaeda, but this is disputed by her political party.
At her assassination, Mars at 1 Cancer was semisquare the 14 Leo Maser and exactly squared the Black Hole at 1 Libra, with Saturn at 8 Virgo retrograde and the Sun at 5 Capricorn forming a Grand Trine with the Maser at 8 Taurus.
Uranus, long associated with shocks, upsets, revolution, rebellion and violent political upheaval, also makes significant aspects to Masers on each of these assassination dates.
For JFK, Uranus at 9 Virgo conjoins a Black Hole and trines the 7 Taurus Maser;
for MLK Jr., Uranus at 26 Virgo is trine the 27 Taurus Maser;
for RFK it is still in trine that anomaly from 25 Virgo.
Uranus for the Sadat assassination lies at 27 Scorpio, conjunct a Quasar and exactly opposed the 27 Taurus Maser, and
for Gandhi it trines the 13 Leo Maser from 11 Sagittarius, where it also conjoins a Black Hole.
When Rabin was shot Uranus at 26 Capricorn is on a Pulsar and again trine the 27 Taurus Maser, and
for Bhutto's death it falls at 15 Pisces, inconjunct the Maser now transited to 14 Leo.
Obviously not every political figure with these contacts is assassinated, but this is a disturbing pattern nonetheless, particularly given the heightened passions of racial animosities stirred by the Obama candidacy.
Of particular misfortune is the incidence of Mars within this same vicinity for both Hillary Clinton, Obama's chief primary opponent, and John McCain, his general election opponent should Obama win his Party's nomination.
Both these figures betray strong Mars/Maser signatures.
John McCain's war service, capture, torture and detention in a Vietnamese POW camp for five years is
a powerful glimpse into the potency of this combination of his 12 Leo Mars with the 13 Leo Maser; his character flaws of tetchiness, curmudgeonly disagreeableness, and a reputation for strong language stem directly from it.
Hillary Clinton, with Mars at 14 Leo also conjunct Pluto, has a similar issue with appearing too strident
or chiding, easily attracts dislike, and, true to the plutonic elements of the configuration, is considered power-hungry, manipulative, and even believed by some to be capable of such heinous acts as the murder of long-time friend Vince Foster.
She has also been persistently dogged by allegations of lesbianism, a nod to the sexual arena evoked
by Mars/Maser.
Supporters of either, drawn on by the passion and hatred engendered by their candidate's Mars/Maser, could conceivably pose a serious threat to Obama's very existence, as represented by his Sun in close conjunction.
Regardless of this, the fractiousness and internecine battling which has been such a regrettable feature of the Democratic primary, and engendered by Clinton's Mars on Obama's Sun, is only likely to increase should he move on to challenge McCain and his Mars in the general election.
Issues such as the statements of Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, also indicate the flip side of that Sun/Maser's capacity to excite and motivate others, namely a concomitant propensity to attract controversy. It is unlikely we have plumbed the depths of these disputes and allegations, whether illusory (as in Obama's supposed Muslim faith) or substantiated.
On November 4, 2008, the Election Day Sun at 12 Scorpio forms a T-Square with the nodal axis at 13 Aquarius and Leo, the South Node closely conjunct the 14 Leo Maser, with the Sun in square to it, Obama's Sun, and both Clinton's and McCain's Mars. Fasten your seatbelts—it's going to be a bumpy night!
The early stages of the 2008 presidential campaign have been marked by a bewildering plethora of pastor pariahs, a succession of fire-breathing, extremist exemplars of hatred and intolerance. In part, this is the last gasp of Pluto in Sagittarius, which has acted to expose the hypocrisy and divisiveness inherent in organized religion, of which the child sex abuse scandals of the Catholic Church in the '90s were the most obvious and publicized examples. But during this time, the toxin of religion has inserted itself most emphatically into our political discourse, with cynical GOP leaders harnessing the voting power of the evangelical right to install George W. Bush and Republican majorities in Washington, an unholy alliance from which the agents of God have reaped the profits of Mammon, as indicated by such fiscal rewards as those proffered by the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives.
The pronouncements of both left- and right-wing religious leaders have provided fodder for the political opponents of the contestants in this campaign, an indication of just how pervasive and malign religion's influence can be, and an endorsement of the wisdom of the Founding Fathers in designing a governmental system where Church and State were considered to be separate, and sundered, entities. On the left, Barack Obama has suffered from his personal and congregational associations with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Father Michael Pfleger. On the right, John McCain has had his own problems, in first seeking, and then having to reject, political endorsements from evangelical firebrands John Hagee and Rod Parsley, whose spiritual flocks the GOP nominee desperately needs in order to succeed in November.
« Last Edit: July 19, 2008, 08:52:10 am by Bianca » Report Spam Logged
The astrological back story of this campaign season has been the permutation of Pluto from fiery, idealistic, religion-ruling Sagittarius into phlegmatic, practical, government-ruling Capricorn, a transition which is in full swing throughout this election year, with Pluto straddling the line preparatory to its final entry into Capricorn in late November. As Pluto mops up old business in Sagittarius and begins to prepare the ground for its assault on Capricorn, it has given us this glimpse of the waiting abyss which threatens to swallow the body politic if these two antithetical entities continue to be combined.
Obama's and McCain's problems are diametrically opposed, as are their governing philosophies. For Obama, a relatively unknown quantity, the issue is defining himself, a gap which is rapidly being negatively filled by the Black Liberation Theology views of his chosen church of 20 years. For McCain, already clearly defined as anti-evangelical, the issue constellates about somehow convincing evangelicals that he actually is one of them, and garnering their support. For the man who in 2000 termed evangelical superstars Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson "agents of intolerance," this is no easy task.

#Supergirl: To Be Made Into A TV Series
by Lainey
Oh my! Move aside, Superman, because Supergirl is the next DC hero to head from the pages of a comic book to the TV.
CBS has placed a series order for Supergirl, which the cousin of Superman as she's finally beginning to use her powers at age 24. Nevermind that if at 24 years old, that would actually make her a woman and not actually a "girl" per se.
The hour-long drama centres on Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, who was born on the planet Krypton and escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she has been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.
Supergirl the TV series will come to us from Berlanti Productions (both Arrow and The Flash on The CW) in association with Warner Bros. Television. Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler (Chuck, No Ordinary Family) will serve as writers, while also serving as EPs alongside Sarah Schechter.
There's no word on when the series is expected to hit the air or who will be cast to play Kara Zol-El aka Supergirl yet, but Deadline reports that the show appears to have received an even bigger commitment from CBS than Gotham did from Fox, which suggests that the network has a lot of faith in it. So, Fox has Gotham, NBC has Constantine, and ABC has Agents of SHIELD, and now CBS will have its very own CBS superhero TV series too! Cray cray.
While we patiently wait for more details on Supergirl, let's not forget that Gotham will be premiering in Malaysia on Thursday, 25th September @ 9pm – just 3 days after US world premiere – exclusively on WarnerTV HD (HyppTV Channel 613) and also the HyppTV Everywhere mobile app!

Every figure tells a story, and these tales really have me hooked. I must dig and dig until I can hear each figure talk. Along the way, I may find a design source, and when it is all put together I can often date the figure with greater precision—and that knowledge helps date other figures. All this takes time. It's what I ponder when I can't sleep at night. The latest candidate for this thought process was a figure titled SHEPPARD, and, if you will bear with me, I will explain how SHEPPARD inspired that 20th century hit song Mack the Knife.
SHEPPARD? I know spelling was not our potters' strong suit, but this is no shepherd. Rather, the figure represents Jack Sheppard, the colorful criminal who rose to fame in London in the early eighteenth century. Jack was born in 1702 into a life of great poverty and hardship. Despite this, by 1722, he was a model carpenter's apprentice with 5 years of his 7-year apprenticeship behind him. But then young Jack discovered strong drink and the love of a far-from-virtuous woman…and he was set on the road to ruin and immortality.In 1723, Jack took to burglary. He was arrested in 1724 and imprisoned. He escaped, and was arrested again. The pattern was set, and Jack was arrested four times and he escaped four times—always with daring bravado that captured the public imagination. After the fourth arrest, Jack was chained and shackled to the floor in Newgate prison's most secure area, but he broke his chains and escaped through six iron-barred doors. Two weeks later, on November 1 1724, Jack was arrested for the fifth and last time. This time, he was weighed down with 300 pounds of weights and kept under round-the-clock observation. His importance was such that the king's painter, James Thornhill visited to paint his portrait. But on Nov 11 1724, Jack Shephard was hanged. Two hundred thousand people turned out to give their hero a rather celebratory send-off. How times have changed!
Jack Sheppard continued to live in the hearts of the public as a folk hero. His story inspired ballads and pantomimes that appeared shortly after his death. Importantly, his character inspired Macheath in John Gay's The Beggars' Opera (1728).. The Threepenny Opera, a twentieth century updating of The Beggars' Opera that debuted in Berlin in 1928 and in English in America in 1933, included the song Mack the Knife. Mack the Knife made the hit parade in 1956 and it has kept on trucking…well, I think we all are old enough to have heard it.
So why would we have Sheppard, a hero of the 1720s, depicted in a Staffordshire figure made circa 1825? I admit to being a bit puzzled. The most obvious nineteentn century reincarnation of Sheppard was in the novel Jack Sheppard by William Harrison Ainsworth, published in 1839….but this figure looks no later than 1830 to my eye. What could have inspired the creation of a figure in Jack Sheppard's honor around that time? And then a revealing factoid came my way: A melodrama titled Jack Sheppard, The Housebreaker, or London in 1724, by W.T. Moncrieff was published in 1825. Performances of this play must have inspired the creation of the figure.
Moncrieff's melodrama could not have been wildly successful for I know of only this one example of the figure of Sheppard. It is a lovely figure, very bold and dashing at a swaggering 10-3/4" inches tall. Sadly, Sheppard himself was a puny runt, but how was our potter to know that? So if you are a potter and you don't know what Sheppard looked like, what do you do? No problem! After all, nobody else was any wiser…so our potter could take his pick of the molds at his disposal. I have a figure in my archive fashioned from the same molds used for SHEPPARD.
I photographed this 9-3/4" figure in the Potteries Museum. Clearly he has lost his arm, but I didn't note the loss of the base, so perhaps he was made thus. I really wish he had retained his arm because I want to see what was in the now-lost hand. The figure of SHEPPARD is clutching a very definite round object. Unfortunately, some deviously evil person has chiseled around this object. The nicks look just as if they were made by a chisel, and perhaps a wicked child had nothing better to do on a gloomy day and decided to start on his life of crime by bashing away at SHEPPARD.
The object could not have broken clean off, nor could it have been very much larger than its present size. I know the latter because there is no indication that the object ever touched the jacket. My guess is that it was intended to be a money purse. So the mystery is almost solved. If you can add to this, please let me know. Meanwhile, Jack Sheppard lives on in our century: a 2002 television drama Invitation to a Hanging and Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle novels (2003, 2004) all derive from Jack Sheppard's story.

Scott Police are asking for the public's help in figuring out who stole an off-road vehicle just after midnight on Monday morning of this week.
The stolen side-by-side is a 2010 Polaris Ranger.
The thief had to cut a lock on a gate to be able to get the vehicle which was then loaded onto the trailer of a truck.
Police think the truck is a 2007-2013 Chevy or GMC that is a light color with double wheels in the back. The truck was pulling an enclosed trailer.
Officials say that one of the tail lights ont he back of the trailer is out, and they are hoping someone can identify the truck, trailer or both.
Anyone who knows anything is asked to call the Scott Police Department at 337-889-5105 or Lafayette Crime Stoppers at 337-232-TIPS(8477).

In this article you will learn how to implement Github's OAuth authentication in client side apps. First you will learn about how Github's OAuth process works, and then you will implement it in a React application by building it from scratch.
Github is one of the first large companies to offer a public GraphQL API. The main benefit of this switch is scalability.
It seemed like our responses simultaneously sent too much data and didn't include data that consumers needed.
You can read more about it in their announcement from 2016.
In order to interact with their API, you need to authenticate your users with their Github account through a mechanism called OAuth.
Because of security-related limitations, Github's OAuth flow for client side apps is not straightforward. You will learn how to communicate between your app and an open source service called Gatekeeper that simplifies Github's OAuth process.
Unfortunately you cannot make this request from a browser because that would require you to store your client secret in your public client side app. Keeping a secret in a public place is a huge no, so you need a server for this step.
Github will send you a token in the HTTP response body. You can send this token to Github's API to make requests on behalf of this user.
We will understand how this process works by implementing it in a React application.
Create an app with create-react-app. Go to the new directory. Finally start the development server to see it in action.
You need a server to store your client secret and send it to github. If you already have an API you can do setup a route that exchanges a code for a token. Another options is setting up Gatekeeper. Gatekeeper is an open source service which helps you trade a github code for a token.
If you deployed it correctly, you can access it by its URL. In this case we registered https://gitstar.herokuapp.com/.
First of all we'll add a simple header with our app name on the left, and a login link on the right. We already created the Header components for you, so you just need to import them using yarn.
After your users authorize your app, Github will send them back to the callback URI that you defined in their developer settings. We told Github to redirect users to our root endpoint. We can grab the code they sent in <App />'s componentDidMount.
Use fetch to exchange the code for a token through our Gatekeeper URL, in this case https://gitstar.herokuapp.com/. From now on you can use this token to make requests on behalf of your authenticated user.
this.state.status === STATUS.AUTHENTICATED ? "1" : "0"
display: this.state.status === STATUS.INITIAL ? "inline" : "none"
These elements exist merely to improve the app's UX. The purpose of these components is to let you know when the app is waiting for github's request, and finally tell you that you are authenticated.
If you'd like to see how I made the imported components, take a look at the final source code in github.
You learned how Github's OAuth flow works. You also applied that knowledge by creating a simple React app with Github authentication.
Now that your users can login with Github, you can start making requests to Github's GraphQL API on their behalf.

Flossing could increase exposure to toxic chemicals
0 0 Saturday, January 26, 2019 Edit this post
Eating takeout and flossing the teeth are routine tasks for many people. However, a new study has found that they could be exposing people to potentially dangerous chemicals.
By Lauren Sharkey, Medical News Today
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have become a daily part of human life.
These water- and greaseproof substances are present in many products — from fast food containers to certain types of clothing.
Humans also face exposure to them through contaminated water and even dust.
However, what is most concerning — according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — is that these manmade chemicals continue to build up in the body without breaking down.
Regular exposure to PFAS has led some researchers to examine their impact on human health. So far, results have shown a link to health issues such as high cholesterol, kidney and testicular cancer, and thyroid disease.
A new study has delved further into typical human behaviors to see whether any were associated with PFAS exposure. Participants were 178 middle-aged women, of whom half were African-American and the other half were non-Hispanic white.
These women were already part of the Public Health Institute's Child Health and Development Studies, which enrolled pregnant women living in Oakland, CA, in 1959–1967. Its aim was to determine the impact that environmental chemicals and other things have on disease.
The PFAS levels of floss
Scientists from the Silent Spring Institute and the Public Health Institute in Berkeley, CA, used blood samples taken from the women in 2010–2013.
They examined the samples to find levels of 11 types of PFAS. They also interviewed each woman at some point in 2015–2016, asking a series of questions about behaviors potentially linked with PFAS exposure.
They addressed food consumption, dental flossing, and stain-resistant furniture and carpets.
Once the scientists had determined all the blood measurements, they compared them against the answers the women gave. They took into account factors such as whether people lived in areas where water was contaminated with PFAS.
The results appear in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology.
The most striking observation the study made was that certain dental floss seemed to result in elevated levels of PFAS.
The researchers studied this association further by testing 18 different flosses for the presence of fluorine, which also indicates the presence of PFAS.
They revealed that Glide flosses and three non-Glide flosses came back positive for fluorine. This matched the results that found that women who used a certain brand of Glide floss had higher levels of a PFAS called PFHxS in their blood.
Changing behaviors
Other findings included that African-American women who reported regularly eating preprepared food in coated cardboard packaging, such as takeout, had higher levels of four types of PFAS in their blood. This was compared with women who reported rarely eating that kind of food.
Living in an area with a PFAS-contaminated water supply and living in a house with stain-resistant carpets or furniture also showed links to higher PFAS levels in the blood.
The scientists also note that non-Hispanic white women had elevated levels of two PFAS: PFOA and PFHxS.
It is unclear why this was not the case for African-American women, but this difference could be down to a different kind of behavior that the researchers did not measure.
The number of participants and the fact that the majority lived in California are also limitations, along with the lack of research into Hispanic and Asian-American people. Despite this:
"[T]his is the first study to show that using dental floss containing PFAS is associated with a higher body burden of these toxic chemicals. The good news is, based on our findings, consumers can choose flosses that don't contain PFAS."
-Lead study author Katie Boronow
She explains that the findings go some way toward proving that consumer products do increase exposure to PFAS, and that companies should look at "restricting these chemicals" as a priority.

Renowned music festival returns to Birmingham
UNIVERSITY NEWS LAST UPDATED : 18 OCTOBER 2018
A celebrated multi-genre contemporary music festival returns to Birmingham next month.
Centred on improvisation and new music, Emulsion will be hosted at mac Birmingham for its seventh edition on Friday 2 and Saturday 3 November. As a music festival that celebrates the adventurous spirit and the open mind, Emulsion offers a melding of contemporary music, drawing from jazz, classical and folk traditions.
The brainchild of saxophonist, composer and Birmingham City University PhD student Trish Clowes, Emulsion VII will feature jazz pianist and composer Alexander Hawkins as its guest artist.
Emulsion provides a platform for contemporary composition and improvisation, and fosters collaboration between like-minded musicians. Clowes founded Emulsion in 2012 and, in 2016, Tom Harrison came on board as the festival's Artistic Director.
At the heart of its melting pot of musicians and ideas is the Emulsion Sinfonietta, a colourful line-up of trumpet, violins, saxes, oboe, cor anglais, cello, bassoon, electric guitar, bass and drum kit. The Emulsion Sinfonietta will perform on the evening of Friday 2 November along with Alexander Hawkins.
A happy by-product of several Emulsion festivals, the Sinfonietta has premiered 17 new works to date. Two of these works have gone on to win British Academy of Songwriters, Composers & Authors (BASCA) British Composer Awards in the Contemporary Jazz Category (Joe Cutler's 'Karembeu's Guide to the Complete Defensive Midfielder' in 2016 and Cevanne Horrocks-Hopayian's 'Muted Lines' in 2017).
STEAMscholars
As well as being recognised at the British Composer Awards herself – winning in the Contemporary Jazz Composition category in 2015 – and a former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Trish Clowes is one of 50 STEAMscholars at Birmingham City University.
The research of the STEAMscholars is funded as part of the institution's £3 million initiative to create new subject knowledge and to power cultural, societal and economic improvements locally, nationally and around the world.
Her research looks at the politics of participation within and around the space of the Emulsion festival, exploring the relationships between performers and audience members through her compositions.
Trish Clowes said:
"I am very excited to present this seventh edition of Emulsion, which is also acting as a key case study for my PhD research. We have wanted to work with Alexander Hawkins for some time so we're thrilled to have him as our special guest on Friday 2 November. As well as performing with us, he will present some of his own music and a work by the legendary composer-saxophonist Anthony Braxton."
I am also excited to present 'Emulsify' on Saturday 3 November. This new immersive event, debuted at Emulsion VI, will allow audience members to explore morphing between the roles of listener and performer, and is a product of the illuminating research I have been conducting with local audiences, both for Emulsion VII and Emulsion VI in Shrewsbury earlier this year.
Clowes has been working closely with fellow PhD candidate Percy Pursglove throughout this project and he will also present new compositions during the festival related to his own research, which is focused on the relationship between contemporary classical and improvised music.
Clowes is part of the Jazz Studies research cluster at Birmingham City University, which is led by Professors Nicholas Gebhardt and Tony Whyton, and Dr Nicolas Pillai.
Although only five years old, the cluster boasts more than 40 members, including 10 jazz researchers from across Birmingham School of Media and Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, eight doctoral students and leaders of the regional jazz community, as well as additional academic partners at University of Warwick, University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) and University of Music and the Performing Arts Graz (Austria).
Furthermore, the University's new £57 million Royal Birmingham Conservatoire is home to Eastside Jazz Club, the first permanent jazz space in any UK conservatoire.
Emulsion VI took place earlier this year at The Gateway Education and Arts Centre in Shrewsbury. This followed last year's festival at mac Birmingham, as well as three successful events in London, and one in collaboration with Cheltenham Music Festival.

2023, Tommy's Current WoW, WoW
💫 I have a large drawing of the coal camp I grew up in (Page) hanging over my desk. An old friend (Reese) gave it to me, and I cherish the memories it triggers. It looks exactly as I remember it. When I make the yearly trek back home to visit family and friends, I always drive up to where that camp was (it was torn down in the late 1950s) and think about the people who lived there. My aunt Beulah is the only adult from that camp still living, and most of the children from there have lost touch with each other or passed away. I still stay in touch with many of my high school classmates, but very few from the coal camp I spent my childhood in. We were stuck between two mountains that only let the sunlight in for about 6-7 hours each day. Our fathers went to the coal mine each morning, and our mothers cleaned the house, washed clothes, and read a lot. We, kids, were always looking for a game to play or something naughty to do. Life, at least to us children, was simple: find someone to play with. My mother would send my brother and me out of the house after breakfast (during the summer) and instruct us not to return until lunch. She was cleaning the house and wanted it to remain that way until dad got home. If we wanted a snack, we snuck in the back door, grabbed a biscuit, and then dashed outside before being discovered.
I recall how slowly time passed during those summers and how eager I was for school to resume. I was also keen to become an adult and make my own decisions. Adulthood arrived quickly. I remember boarding the bus in front of our home in southwest Virginia, headed for San Antonio, Texas, and basic training in the US Air Force (1959). I remember looking out the window of that bus as it drove away and thinking that part of my life was over and a new life was beginning.
Now, I'm sitting here at my desk, looking at the drawing of the Page Coal Camp and reminiscing about my life of long ago. I see myself as a nine-year-old boy with a bag of coal slung over his shoulder, struggling up the hill to our house so there would be fuel for the furnace to keep us warm. That was back when all kids had work assignments, and no one was excluded from contributing to the family's survival. Those assignments were always in addition to schoolwork and were accepted without protest. I never remember protesting to my parents about a task I was assigned. It would have had a minor effect and likely resulted in a severe tongue-lashing.
I recall telling my dad that I wanted to play high school football (9th grade), and his automatic answer (continually) was, "No!". I immediately walked down the hall to the kitchen and implored mom to convince him to change his mind. In a few minutes, he called me back to the living room and said that I could play football, but "It damn sure better not interfere with your chores!". I hastily assured him it would not. On a lot of nights, they were finished at 10 pm. No, I didn't feel sorry for myself, that was just the way life was. I felt my father was justified in expecting me to carry my part of the family load.
So, I'm left wondering why I choose to think about "the good old days?" Maybe, it's not because they were better than my life as an adult, but because of an inner need to believe that my core values were derived from that period in my life, that morals were better back then, people were more honest, friendships more lasting, religion more ingrained, and happiness was always just around the corner?
That certainly begs the question, would I want to return to that life? After all, moving back to my hometown has always been within my power. Why haven't I done so if my life back then was much better than it is now? Of course, the answer has to be that life wasn't really better; it was only so in my memories of that time.
Janet Malcolm said it eloquently, "The past is a country that issues no visas." I agree with Janet, except to say that it issues large satchels of memories 😊.
💫 I was watching "Yellowstone" on TV the other night, and one character, a cowboy, told another cowboy, "We've all been thru things that other people will never understand." That's a pretty astute observation for a cowboy. I understand he was only repeating a line of the script, but someone thought that cowboy was up to making a point in that way. Most of us are guilty of thinking anyone with a cowboy hat and a horse is a genuine cowboy. Probably, some people walking around with just a cowboy hat on, never having ridden a horse in their life, think they are the real McCoy. The same could apply to a young man that drives a pickup truck, wears jeans, and speaks profanely, thinks he's a "Redneck."
Many of us go thru life wanting to be what we're not. It could be the aforementioned cowboy/redneck, a sports coach, or the most essential, hard-working person in your office. Then the time for a layoff comes, and you are one of those included to receive the dreaded "pink slip." If you've ever received that piece of paper telling you your company no longer needs your services or tells you the college you wanted to attend has rejected your application, then you've been thru something many people will never understand. If you call your father to wish him a happy 89th birthday and he says the doctor told him he has two months to live (that actually happened to my wife), you know he's going thru something you will probably never really understand, unless something similar happens to you. That's when you know you're in over your heart. That's when you feel guilty about acting like a nice person instead of being one, knowing you should get in your car and drive the eight hours to be with him during his time of need.
Thomas Wolfe said in "You Can't Go Home Again," "Something has spoken to me in the night… and told me I shall die, I know not where. Saying: Death is to lose the earth you know, for greater knowing; to lose the life, you have for the greater life; to leave the friends you loved for greater loving; to find a land more kind than home, more large than earth."
Many of us go through life wanting to be important, achieving great things at work, being a good spouse or friend, and helping those in our lives who need us. Eventually, as we travel through life, we reach the age where we look back and recognize the folly of life's many stages. Wanting to be a "Redneck" or "Cowboy" is undoubtedly a prime example of immaturity.
C. Adichie said it best, "I think you travel to search, and come back home to find yourself there."

At Pololu we maintain around thirty open-source Arduino libraries, and we keep adding new ones whenever we make a new carrier board or Arduino shield. People typically use these libraries with Arduino-compatible boards, such as our A-Star programmable controllers or Arduinos. We also have Arduino libraries for our user-programmable robot kits like the Romi 32U4 robot, Balboa 32U4 robot and Zumo 32U4 robot.
Sometimes we need to make changes to a lot of libraries at once, like when we wanted to add all of our libraries to the Arduino Library Manager. For us, library manager compatibility requires changing the directory layout, but doesn't require changing the library or example code. With this many libraries to change, there is a risk of potentially breaking a working library by misspelling or moving a file incorrectly. Fortunately, customer Walt Sorensen introduced us to PlatformIO and Travis CI, which let us test compiling Arduino libraries every time they are pushed to GitHub.
Setting this up is easy enough that we encourage you to do it on your Arduino libraries! First, sign up for Travis CI (a testing service, free for open-source projects) and enable it for the GitHub repository you want to test. Now, every time you push new code to your repository, Travis CI will try to see if there is a .travis.yml file in the top level with instructions for running tests.
If your project has the structure of an Arduino Library Manager project and you have at least one example sketch, our short .travis.yml file should work. This file instructs Travis CI to compile the library and its examples against all the supported Arduino boards (specified in the "env" list of the .travis.yml file). The results can be seen on Travis CI's website (for example, here is Pololu's Travis CI page). The Arduino compiler is provided by PlatformIO, an open source ecosystem for internet-of-things development, which supports a long list of Arduino-compatible boards.
Of course, for most library changes, we still have to test on actual hardware, but now every time we update our libraries (or a contributor submits a pull request), we can be sure they will at least compile on every supported board.
Continuous Integration sure revolutionized the industry when it came into widespread use! I'm glad you're seeing the value, too.
The next step up is Continuous Testing. One could say that "it links cleanly" is a kind of smoke test, I guess?
I've found it worthwhile for my longer projects to go further, and build a "dummy" software version of my hardware devices, and build and link against a library that implements a simulated device.
I can do this on a full host (Windows or Linux) and then run a full-software simulation, against which I can then write acceptance tests.
It's actually pretty easy to write a fake "Wiring.h" library and provide fake serial port objects and such. I highly recommend it as a next step!
Hey Jon W., I generally like that approach. For some of our proprietary firmware, we like to run the firmware in a simulator and run automated tests against the simulation. When testing 8-bit PIC firmware, we use a tool we made called RPicSim so that we can write our tests in Ruby.

Your HAB Monthly Update – Avocado Volume Data & Projections and More Right to your Inbox
Home / HAB Happenings / Your HAB Monthly Update – Avocado Volume Data & Projections and More Right to your Inbox
HAB is committed to making avocados America's most popular fruit and to equip our industry for success. That is why earlier this summer we launched a brand-new monthly newsletter developed for our producer/grower stakeholder audience.
HAB's insights and actionable data are now delivered directly to producers' inboxes regularly. The up-to-date volume and projections data allows recipients to know about the volume efforts of their neighbors and other sources of fruit headed to the marketplace as they make decisions about harvesting their crop and their go-to-market plans. Additionally, we supplement the volume and projections data with the latest avocado retail category data from IRI, which provides a picture of consumer demand at retail. The data and information in the newsletter are intended to provide producers with the most complete insights available from trusted sources into market dynamics in the U.S.
We have also included the most recent HAB Happenings posts to inform producers about the ongoing work of the Hass Avocado Board. We feature upcoming meetings and events hosted by HAB that anyone can attend.
This new monthly offering was developed with the grower/producer firmly in mind. It gives readers easy access to information to support the decision-making process of when to harvest and go to market, learn about HAB's work, and engage with other stakeholders during meetings and events.
The Hass Avocado Board makes things happen for the industry that will help you make things happen for your business; we call this the HAB effect. As always, you can count on HAB to be a catalyst for action and a reason to be confident in our industry.

We offer a Denture Repair Service that is both fast and reliable - we have over 20 years experience in repairing broken dentures & cracked dentures using only the best quality materials available.
» How to repair dentures?
If possible, keep all the pieces of your broken denture together. Don't use super glue or repair dentures yourself, even if you have cracked dentures. Please do not use a denture repair kit; attempting to repair dentures yourself may end up resulting in further damage and make your denture impossible to repair again and uncomfortable to wear. It is always advisable to have your denture repair performed by a qualified dental professional who knows how to repair dentures.
» Emergency Denture Repairs - How long to repair dentures?
The time it takes to repair dentures depends on how badly it is damaged. Most denture repairs we aim to do while you wait. We are usually able to repair dentures between 30-40 minutes to a couple of hours depending on the type of denture repair required. If your broken denture has suffered a more serious fracture, however, it will take longer to repair. In order to repair your denture it may be necessary for us to take an impression of your mouth with the denture in place.
» Can my cracked denture or broken denture be repaired?
Yes, with our Denture Repair Service we can repair dentures, insert strengtheners into dentures and remove stains. We can also repair chips in the artificial teeth or replace ones that come off your broken denture. If your dentures are quite old and you have had broken dentures or cracked dentures several times, it may be necessary to have a new set made. Dentures that have had teeth added or fractured multiple times are generally not very comfortable to wear as they no longer fit that well.
If a denture repair cannot be done on your existing dentures and you do not have any spare dentures, we offer a New Dentures in 48 Hours Service.

Q: Chrome doesn't always jump to #top while Firefox is doing fine Site description
I have a page where a list of 10 div are showing at once while 100 are in the source document. On the bottom is a button that - if clicked - hides these 10 div and shows the next 10 div. The button itself is a styled link with href="#top" where the id belongs to my navbar on top.
Problem
If I use Chrome it doesn't jump to top every time I click on the button. Sometime it jumps and sometimes it just show the new divs without the jump to top.
What works
If I use Firefox there's no problem.
Question
How can I figure out where's the problem - I mean, could there be an error somewhere else in my code that leads to this behaviour (no jump to #top) - or is there an alternative way to tell the users browser to jump to top that I should or could use?

A: Instead of using anchors and links to them (because your anchors might change positions, or work different between browsers), you should use Javascript, using the window.scrollTo() function:
HTML
<button onclick="scrollToTop()">Go to Top</button>

Javascript
function scrollToTop(){
    window.scrollTo(0, 0);
}

Note that scrollTo() takes two parameters; the top and left position to scroll to. Also scrollTo() is not animated, it will scroll instantly to the position that you set.

Q: Excel - #VALUE! error message I type $1000 in cell D31.  I type =D31+50 in cell D32 because I want D32 to show $1050.  I then want to copy that formula into the next 100 cells in row D so that the value in each cell is $50 higher than the one before it.  This is a bookkeeping exercise, so I need each cell to have a dollar sign.
However, when I do this, I get the #VALUE! error and I can't figure out why.  I'm aware there are other ways to achieve this, but I need to know why this particular way isn't working.  Many thanks.
Edit:  I've added two screenshots to show more clearly what's happening.  This is what I type:

And this is what I get when I hit Enter or Tab:

A: Typing $1000 will be in the format of text, and you cannot add 50 to a text value. You need to format as a number value, in your case currency.
Select column D and change the format, see image below.
Or Row 30, whichever way you are doing your book.
Then type 1000 into D30 without the dollar sign, this will be added automatically, and in the next cell type =D30+31 and drag.

You can also edit formats, by selecting a range of cells then right clicking and choosing number format to bring up all the options .


For thousands of years, the Humber River served as a corridor for Aboriginal settlement and trade. In late 1793, only a few months after British officials founded the Town of York (now Toronto), the river began to be converted into a corridor for water-powered industry. Here, within sight of the remains of Aboriginal villages and a French fur-trading post, the British government constructed Toronto's first industrial building - a rough, low shed with a water-powered saw - to supply lumber for government purposes. It became known as "King's Mill".
Poorly managed and badly maintained, the first King's Mill burned in 1803. Other water-powered sawmills and gristmills (for grinding grains into flour) followed on this site. The last and grandest of them all was constructed circa 1848 as a key part of merchant William Gamble's expanding milling enterprise.
Burned in 1881, its stone ruins would become one of Toronto's most romantic landmarks, known as "the Old Mill" and a rare visible reminder in the late-20th century of the days of water power. The ruins were dismantled in 2000 and replaced by a hotel, loosely modelled after the mill and partly clad with its stones.

Q: Get Response of another javascript function in a javascript function I have two java-script function. In one function i have called another function. Its working fine. But the problem is first function not getting response from second java script. I have requirement if the first function return true then second will execute rest code.
My Code.
function NextData() {
        var lQIndex = $('#hfLastQIndex').val();
        if (SaveData(lQIndex)) {

        }
}

function SaveData(QNo) {

it's work for me..


To God be the Glory, Great things He has done! It is perfectly natural for fear and doubt to creep into our minds at times. "What if Heaven isn't real after all?" Is Jesus the Christ, the only way to the Father? Questions like these should not be given quick responses. John The Baptist, whom Jesus call the greatest of the prophets (Luke 7:28), had questions before his execution. "is he really the Christ or should we look for another?" Jesus didn't criticize him for that comment, He just pointed to His miracles. Do you believe Jesus is the Christ? If not, maybe you should start looking for another. But, let me point you to some of His miracles. Try that new born baby that we hold in our arms, or the watermelon that seems to come out from a small seed, or the beautiful sunrises each morning, right on time, or the beautiful moon that keeps coming up in the east. How about our hearts, that has been changed by experiencing the presence of the Lord in our life. I hope you find your way to the Father, but the way the bible explains it, Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life, No one comes to the Father but by me, He says. I believe that. You should too!
