Harley-Davidson stock has been surging so far in the third quarter, and Chairman, President, and CEO Jochen Zeitz just bought more shares of the maker of iconic motorcycles.
Harley-Davidson stock (ticker: HOG) remains down 24% for the year through Thursday's close, but that's after a gain of nearly 19% over July and August. It still has a way to go to be flat for 2020, because the company lost half its market value in the first quarter as the coronavirus pandemic roiled markets.
Shares have rallied in recent months in hopes for a turnaround. However, Harley-Davidson stock slipped in late July after Zeitz said that he was making a "total rewire" of the company after a quarterly sales disappointment.
Zeitz paid $2 million on Aug. 12 for 71,450 Harley-Davidson shares, an average per-share price of $27.86. He now owns 222,920 shares in a personal account, according to a form Zeitz filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Harley-Davidson didn't immediately respond to a request to make Zeitz available for comment on his stock transaction.
Zeitz paid substantially more for the shares than in his most recent previous purchase. He had paid $1 million on May 13 for 51,020 shares, an average price of $19.52 each.

OK everyone, I haven't posted in awhile, but I was trying to enjoy the rest of summer. But fall is here! so get ready for a slew of new recipes. And now that its just about October which means Brussels sprouts are in season! This is one of my favorite dishes to make with Brussels sprouts. The balsamic gives a really nice crisp on the Brussels sprouts when it reduces.
Note: The calories may seem higher and it's because I counted the olive oil. If you don't count the oil you use in cooking, or substitute with water (not as flavorful but it does cut out the calories) just subtract 120 calories.
In a pan, heat the olive oil. Take the Brussels sprouts.. if they're petit spouts, you probably don't need to chop them up. However, if they're normal sized cut them into quarters. Mince the garlic. Toss the garlic and Brussels sprouts into the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Keep the man on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the Brussels sprouts begin to become tender. Then add the balsamic vinegar an d rosemary. Continue cooking until the balsamic reduces down and caramelizes on the Brussels sprouts. It should leave a little char on the sprouts.I find this dish so satisfying and I hope you do too!


Why Does My Water Taste Strange?
Drinking water straight from the tap can sometimes taste strange, and not from the usual fluoride or chlorine by-products. This is the reason why many individuals do not like drinking tap water and become dehydrated as a result.
If your water has a sweet aftertaste, it could be an indication that there is a high concentration of naturally occurring minerals such as calcium or iron; there could also be an imbalance in the water's pH or alkaline levels. If minerals are not the culprit, it could also be because of the plumbing – letting the water run for a bit or flushing the pipes could help clear the water of sweet tastes and odours.
If your water has a fishy taste or odour, it is most probably due to the presence of naturally occurring, organic material in the water source. The metal barium, which exists in mineral ores can sometimes seep into wells and pipes; Cadmium can also find its way into pipes via industrial waste or fertiliser contamination. The combination of chlorine and ammonia creates chloramine, often used to disinfect public water sources, but which can sometimes produce an unpleasant aroma in water.
If your drinking water smells like your dog when it has been out in the rain, it could be as a result of concentrations of metal in pipes. It could also be as a result of organisms and/or bacteria or, chemicals used to remove those organisms or environmental contaminants based on geographical location.
If your drinking water has a strange taste or smell that puts you off of drinking it, do not just stop drinking water; make an alternate plan to ensure that you drink sufficient water throughout the day in order to stay hydrated and healthy.
A water cooler is your best bet for ensuring chilled, fresh, great tasting and smelling drinking water. A mains water cooler, also called a Point-of-Use (POU) water cooler, is plumbed directly into your main water line and a filter is attached that can remove all contaminants.


RENO – The Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS (RSAR) recently launched a new "784 easy steps" campaign educating buyers and sellers to partner with REALTORS to make their home buying or selling process go smoothly.
Tapping into the education and experience, neighborhood knowledge and negotiation skills of a qualified, trained REALTOR are just a few attributes to support your decision for working with a professional. Currently, 9 percent of sellers go the route of For Sale By Owner (FSBO). According to the National Association of REALTORS, the most difficult task for a FSBO seller is to price the home correctly. On average, the national median sales price of a FSBO was $208,700; and the median sales price of an agent-assisted sale was $235,000.
RSAR has provided a download of the 784 steps needed to buy a home, and 784 steps needed to sell a home. For more information, visit www.rsar.net/how-to.


The same origin policy prevents a document or script loaded from one origin from getting or setting properties of a document from another origin. This policy dates all the way back to Netscape Navigator 2.0.
After that statement executes, the page would pass the origin check with http://company.com/dir/page.html. However, by the same reasoning, company.com could not set document.domain to othercompany.com.
Port number is kept by the browser separately. Any call to the setter, including document.domain = document.domain causes the port number to be overwritten with null. Therefore one can not make company.com:8080 talk to company.com by only setting document.domain = "company.com" in the first. It has to be set in both so that port numbers are both null.

Alan Moore's environmental monster
The genius behind "Watchmen" redefined both the audience and the narrative possibilities of comic books with his newly reissued "Saga of the Swamp Thing."
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2009/03/04/swamp_thing/
Andrew O'Hehir

It could have been a guy in that science-fiction bookstore that used to be under a parking garage in downtown Berkeley, Calif. Or it could have been that Korean guitar player and drug dealer who told me he had taught himself English as a small child by studying the people dressed as toasters on "Let's Make a Deal." It's hard to remember after all this time. But at some point in the spring or summer of 1984, someone put a copy of "Saga of the Swamp Thing" in my hand and said, "Hey, man. Have you seen this?"
It seemed like a stupid question. Of course I remembered "Swamp Thing." It was a DC Comics franchise launched in my childhood, an entertaining fusion of the superhero comic and the horror comic that half-accidentally coincided with the birth of the modern environmental movement. Its hero was a human-vegetable hybrid named Alec Holland, an assassinated government scientist who had been mysteriously reincarnated in a Louisiana swamp. Like a lot of other kids my age, I had read "Swamp Thing" for a while in the '70s before moving on to various pretend-grown-up obsessions: Roxy Music and the Rolling Stones, Hemingway and Fitzgerald, Buñuel and Nicolas Roeg.
Along the way the "Swamp Thing" comic had died and been reincarnated, largely because of Wes Craven's raunchy, comical and decidedly mediocre 1982 film version. Petit-snob that I now was, I assumed that the reborn DC "Swamp Thing" was nothing more than lame, bottom-of-the-barrel, based-on-the-movie cultural debris. And then someone gave it to me with a sense of peculiar urgency and I read it.
I have no idea what the first 19 issues of the revived "Swamp Thing" (written by Martin Pasko and drawn by Tom Yeates) were like, and comics fandom being what it is, I'm sure they have admirers. But when Pasko left abruptly with several plot strands hanging in midair, DC editor (and "Swamp Thing" creator) Len Wein asked a young English comics writer to come over from London and give Alec Holland's universe a whirl. That guy's name was Alan Moore, and his best-known work at that point was the apocalyptic political thriller "V for Vendetta," a work inspired by Orwell and Pynchon that seemed a world away from American superhero comics. But Moore told Wein he'd do it, as long as he got a free hand to reshape "Swamp Thing" and its protagonist as he wished.
So it began. Long before anyone had started using the pompous term "graphic novel," long before Moore became the reclusive genius behind "From Hell" and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" and, of course, the about-to-be-a-massive-motion-picture "Watchmen," came his remarkable mid-'80s run on "Saga of the Swamp Thing," which redefined both the audience and the narrative possibilities of comic books.
It would be insulting to the genre and its readers, as well as fundamentally untrue, to say that Moore reinvented comics. Moore loved comics, in all their overheated melodrama and violence and passion and romance, and simply wanted them to fulfill their potential. He wanted comics to be better written (and more beautifully drawn; he has consistently brought out the best in his artists), to be more alive to the outside world and to other forms of culture, to be less imprisoned by the emotional ghetto of pre-adolescence.
DC's new archival hardcover edition of "Saga of the Swamp Thing: Book One" is by no means the first collection of Moore's "Swamp Thing" efforts, but the higher-quality binding and printing make it the one hardcore aficionados will want. Instructively, it also includes Moore's first issue (No. 20, from January 1984), which has never before been anthologized, perhaps because it's mostly devoted to wrapping up Pasko's unresolved story lines. That issue features the discovery of a disfigured, not-quite-human corpse, a sinister government conspiracy, a hotel-room bombing and an over-the-top firefight involving flamethrowers and helicopter gunships, then as now the stuff of comic books.
Nine pages in, Issue 20 also features an internal soliloquy by Alec Holland, aka the Swamp Thing, addressing his recently dead archenemy in a lyrical, regretful mode that may have puzzled some 1984 readers but rapidly became identified as a hallmark of Moore's style: "It's a... new world, Arcane. It's full of... shopping malls and striplights and software. The dark corners are being pushed back... a little more every day. We're things of the shadow, you and I... and there isn't as much shadow... as there used to be. Perhaps there was once a world... we could have belonged to... Maybe somewhere in Europe... back in the fifteenth century, the world was... full of shadows then... full of monsters... Not any more." (Those idiosyncratic ellipses are in the original.)
Later in the issue, not long before Swamp Thing is gunned down by what seems to be an entire company of United States Army infantry with air support, there's the sinister female motel clerk who delivers a stream-of-consciousness retelling of the climactic scene in Roeg's pseudo-surrealist horror film "Don't Look Now," concluding with the laconic phrase "... and Donald Sutherland gets it right in the neck." Then the bomb in her hotel goes off, a horizontal-diagonal spray of red and black and orange and yellow with the word "THROOM!" shooting across it toward the reader.
Moore was just getting started with "Swamp Thing." There were no quotations from Goya or James Agee in Issue 20, no demons speaking in faux-Elizabethan rhyming couplets, no appearances by Satan or by Dr. Jason Woodrue, aka the Floronic Man, a minor DC villain whom Moore reconceived as a deep-ecology activist turned genocidal lunatic. (Hearing a woman cry, Woodrue tells himself, "If there's one thing that I despise, it's the sound of steak sobbing.") But two things are clear: Moore knows what comics readers want and intends to give it to them, and whether or not they want something more complicated, more tragic and more adult (I know it's a loaded word), he's going to give them that, too.
DC's initial hard-bound volume comprises Moore's first eight issues as the writer of "Saga of the Swamp Thing," covering Swampy's battles with Woodrue and an especially terrifying demon called the Monkey King, who visits children in their dreams and preys upon their worst fears. (In case you're wondering, "Nightmare on Elm Street" was released several months later. Any resemblance is presumably coincidental.) Moore's stories crackle with tension and he's a master of what might be called comic-book enjambment, in which the last line of a given scene becomes the first line of a new one, on a different plotline with different characters.
More striking than Moore's technical excellence, of course, was his conceptual brilliance, along with the simpatico quality of his partnership with artists Stephen Bissette and John Totleben, who seemed eager to push their form into the frequently phantasmagorical dimensions that Moore's prose demanded. These issues mark the startling transformation of Swamp Thing himself, a cuddly-cum-monstrous figure whom Moore clearly found unsatisfactory and poorly conceived.
Alec Holland, Moore decided, was long dead. Swamp Thing was not a plant-creature who used to be human, but a form of vegetable intelligence that had literally digested Holland's consciousness, and became briefly convinced that it was human. As later issues would reveal, Swamp Thing was connected to "the Green," a global, mystical, collective awareness that connected the South American rain forest to the African grasslands to the redwoods of California to the Louisiana bayou where he periodically took root (and grew edible, yamlike tubers, one of them consumed by Jason Woodrue with unfortunate results).
I think it's no exaggeration to say that Moore models Swamp Thing's ensuing existential predicament on that of Hamlet. In an extended, hallucinatory dream sequence that features giant talking planarian worms and a spoof of the "Alas, poor Yorick!" monologue, Swampy must decide whether to continue his ambiguous existence armed with the knowledge that he was never human and never will be. In essence, he decides that "to be or not to be" is not a binary equation, and chooses both options.
It's been said that Moore was ahead of his time by infusing a holistic, ecological perspective into comics in 1984, and that his anti-authoritarian politics, sometimes bordering on anarchism, were unusual and daring amid the so-called Reagan revolution. But that overlooks the fact that the radical environmental movement was rapidly gaining steam among the American left -- Earth First! had been founded in 1979 -- and in a climate of deepening economic recession and widespread youth unemployment (hello!), the summer of 1984 would see large, anarchist-influenced "punk protests" at the Democratic convention in San Francisco.
Moore was right on time and right on message for a specific micro-generation of young people who were disillusioned and disgusted by Reaganism, and had lost any sense of connection to the American dream. Our consciousness had been shaped -- as Moore's clearly was -- by Joe Strummer and Johnny Rotten (Moore had actually written a screenplay for Sex Pistols impresario Malcolm McLaren), by Kurt Vonnegut and Thomas Pynchon, by campus organizing against apartheid and the U.S. proxy war in El Salvador. With his near-total divorce from human ethics balanced by his planetary consciousness, Swamp Thing became perhaps the first postmodern comic-book hero.
I won't try to claim that "Swamp Thing" is always Moore's best work. Over the course of his four years at the helm, the quality of the artwork waxed and waned, and occasional plotlines ran on comic-book autopilot. More than any other comics writer of his time, Moore strove to reach female readers, but in that format I doubt he found many. Still, there's a fresh and often startling quality to "Swamp Thing," at least for me. I've read this series at least twice before, but I'm excited for the next volumes to arrive, some of them darker and stranger than this one. If memory serves, Swamp Thing will visit heaven and hell, hear firsthand reports from the dead about God, tangle with a feminist werewolf, channel characters from H.P. Lovecraft stories and Walt Kelly's "Pogo," and, perhaps most memorably, consummate his romance with the lovely but haunted Abby Cable in an act of human-vegetable communion unlike anything else in the Western artistic and literary tradition.
Of course, with the possibilities Moore began to map out in 1984 so extensively fulfilled, and the graphic novel entrenched as a respectable literary form, "Saga of the Swamp Thing" may strike contemporary readers as nothing more or less than a cool horror comic, high in philosophy and in grotesque imagination. Maybe you had to be there to appreciate that Moore did more than remake a half-baked '70s comic-book hero as a mystical eco-avenger, and explore new possibilities for the 24-page illustrated monthly serial. He gave a generation of suburban nihilists, fueled by black coffee and loud guitars and soulless temp jobs, a creature from the swamp who seemed to embody their desire to destroy and their urge to create. It was something to believe in, at last.

The keys to Counter-Strike – The entertainment mode is known as e-Sport, has more and more followers in Spain. And Counter-Strike is one of its most emblematic and representative games worldwide that is currently on everyone's lips thanks to the delivery of its latest version: 'Counter-Strike: Global Offensive'. The Azulgrana Neymar, for example, has confessed that he is hooked and that in two weeks he, has come to play more than 112 hours.
But what is this addictive game about? It is a video game 'FPS' ('first-person shooter', meaning 'first-person shots') that confronts two teams: one of terrorists (the bad guys of a lifetime) and another, the special or antiterrorist forces (the good guys of a lifetime).
The company Valve is the owner of this video game, the same one that also developed the sagas Portal and Half-Life, considered two of the best games of all time.
Specifically, the Counter-Strike is a complete modification of Half-Life, made by Minh Le and Jess Cliffe, which has succeeded in surprising the online gaming industry for computers as it became the most consumed in the world after its launch in 1999.
In recent years, and having been overtaken in many countries by League of Legends, Dota2, and Call of Duty, it has continued to be one of the most popular games in the world as it exceeds 25 million copies sold. Counter-Strike has marked not only the genre but the industry as a whole. Steam, the leading online video game distribution platform, was born as a mechanism to share game updates and other Valve systems, which emerged in response to the needs of this particular title.
Players and Rounds
We have already said that Counter-Strike fires in the first person, facing two teams of 10 players each, with a subjective vision, that is, we see the weapon and have the vision of the player that we are at every moment. The official matches consist of a maximum of 30 rounds with a maximum duration of two minutes each.
Weapons, maps, and objectives
The weapons that appear in the game perfectly mimic the real ones: knives, pistols, assault rifles, cartridge shotguns and precision rifles with a telescopic sight, as well as explosives such as grenades. In total there are 57 different types of weapons that equipment can use.
One of the most important keys to the 'Counter Strike Global Offensive' -the latest version is from 2012 – is that a competitive game in which you can play 'deathmatch' (a 'dead game', which ends when the opposing team is killed or totally eliminated) or different variants, such as the deactivation of all bombs, the rescue of all hostages… Each mode requires eliminating the enemy and, in addition, protecting a number of targets located at key points on the map. Maps are open three-dimensional scenarios inspired by real locations rotating in the competition.
Counter-Strike is so popular because it does not require a PC with very high specifications to play, it is cheap and has a very mature and active community. It has also become one of the main categories of E-Sports, present in the Intel Extreme Masters, the big finals of the World League ESL.
As in real life, Counter-Strike money is scarce, so it needs to be managed properly. All teams start on an equal footing ($800 each team), although the amount varies depending on the actions taken during the game. Moreover, it is cumulative, that is, it depends directly on the amount of the previous round. If you kill a hostage or a partner on your own team, you lose money, so it's also an economic strategy game.
Players can win and buy 'skins' (or aspects) for themselves and their weapons, such as stickers, gloves… although these accessories do not have advantages for the teams so that they are always balanced and depend only on the ability of the players with the keyboard and mouse.
David Martinez, editor-in-chief of 'Hobby Consoles', a web site that specializes in video games, says, "the teamwork, the strategy, and the ability are keys to victory, as in football; it is, therefore, logical that Neymar will be attractive this game".
The next day, April 17 starts the league ESL Masters CS: GO, the new competition of e-Sports Counter-Strike with which it is intended that players from Spanish teams can compete at the highest level and getting to play finals in international tournaments.

Q: update image from a custom adapter listview android I need to update my listview that contain a image and a button, the problem than i have is with the index, the app always update the second index of the listview, if i have 2 rows (imagen+ button each),always the second imagen is updated using both buttons, the 2 buttons update only the second image and the first not.
this is my code:
@Override
    public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater) context
                .getSystemService(Activity.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        if (convertView == null) {
            convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.listviewclientes, null);
            holder = new CustomAdapterPublicidad.ViewHolder();

            holder.publicidadboton = (Button) convertView
                    .findViewById(R.id.publicidadboton);
            holder.publicidadimagen = (ImageView) convertView
                    .findViewById(R.id.publicidadimagen);

            final RowItemPublicidad row_pos = rowItems.get(position);

            holder.publicidadimagen.setImageResource(row_pos.getFotoPublicidad());
            holder.publicidadboton.setText(row_pos.getBoton());

            convertView.setTag(holder);
        } else {
            holder = (CustomAdapterPublicidad.ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }

        holder.publicidadboton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                if(position==0){
                    FirebaseUser user = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
                    Bitmap myBitmap = QRCode.from(user.getUid() + "tienda1").withHint(EncodeHintType.MARGIN, 0).bitmap();
                    holder.publicidadimagen.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
                    notifyDataSetChanged();

                }else if(position==1) {
                    FirebaseUser user = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
                    Bitmap myBitmap = QRCode.from(user.getUid() + "tienda2").withHint(EncodeHintType.MARGIN, 0).bitmap();
                    holder.publicidadimagen.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
                    notifyDataSetChanged();
                }
            }
        });

        return convertView;
    }

}

A: Your issue is the if position(int) inside onClick() is run once the button is clicked, and by that time position is always 1. Instead, change what onClick () does before the button is clicked. (while the position is the value you are trying get)
change your code to this:
@Override
    public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

London, UK – October 30th 2017 – NetScientific plc ("NetScientific", AIM:NSCI), the transatlantic healthcare IP commercialisation group, notes the announcement by portfolio company ProAxsis, that it will be presenting further data on its ProteaseTag® technology in two poster sessions at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference, which takes place between November 1st – 5th in Indianapolis. The first paper, concerning sputum storage, enables an increase in flexibility for transporting patient samples from trial site to lab. The second paper, which analyses exhaled breath condensate, increases the range of potential research applications for ProAxsis' CE marked NE Immunoassay. Both papers facilitate a greater scope of research applications for ProAxsis' NE Immunoassay.
NetScientific holds a 57% stake on a fully diluted basis in ProAxsis.
The full text of the announcement from ProAxsis can be found below.
ProAxsis will be presenting further data on its ProteaseTag® technology, at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference, which takes place between November 1st – 5th in Indianapolis. Dr Charlene Robb will be presenting a poster entitled "Do sputum storage conditions impact on the quantification of active neutrophil elastase, interleukin-8, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α?" on Thursday November 2nd between 11.15am and 1.45pm (Poster Number 288).
To find out how ProAxsis can support the measurement of active protease biomarkers of disease, or for any further queries, please contact info@proaxsis.com.
ProAxsis is developing a range of products for the capture, detection and measurement of active protease biomarkers of diseases. Its first immunoassay measures active neutrophil elastase, a leading indicator of infection and inflammation in patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis, and an important drug target. A rapid point-of-care test for measuring neutrophil elastase, called NEATstik®, was registered with a CE Mark in September 2017. The laboratory-based immunoassays and point-of-care tests being developed by ProAxsis incorporate patented ProteaseTags®; smart molecules which trap an active protease within a complex biological sample and enable a visual readout of its presence. ProteaseTags® provide a unique tool to identify and quantify active protease biomarkers and will assist in the clinical validation of new therapeutics.
ProAxsis is part of the NetScientific Group and is one of the Group's core portfolio companies. The company is also supported by QUBIS, the commercialisation arm of Queens University.

But it's been a bumpy primary campaign for Democrats, regardless of Republican incumbent Marco Rubio's late-breaking decision to run again.
The Democrats' Aug. 30 primary is dominated by two congressmen with vastly different political approaches: Patrick Murphy, a centrist backed by the White House, and Alan Grayson, a longtime darling of Bernie Sanders-style progressives who is loathed by the party establishment.
Also in the field are: Pam Keith, a labor attorney from Miami; real estate developer Roque "Rocky" De La Fuente who lives in Orlando; and personal injury attorney Reginald Luster of Jacksonville.
The winner will take on the top vote-getter in the Republican primary, which includes Rubio, who decided in June to seek another term in the Senate after losing a bid for the White House.
The betting money in the Democratic primary leans toward Murphy, at least in part because of the White House star power mixed with an expected low primary turnout that will be dominated by voters who are older and more likely to back the establishment candidate.
Any possibility of a surprise in the primary may also be dimmed as the top contenders have turned off many reliable voters without attracting new people to the polls, said Susan MacManus, a political-science professor at the University of South Florida.
"It's just a race that has lost a lot of punch," MacManus said. "Each side (the Murphy and Grayson campaigns) has been able to well establish the flaws of the other. Initially, people thought it was going to be highly competitive. But as people are exposed to the shortcomings of the opponents, people just aren't so interested anymore."
University of Central Florida political science professor Aubrey Jewett wouldn't rule out a "comeback" by Grayson. But he noted Grayson has lost a lot of ground because of domestic-abuse allegations by his ex-wife. Those allegations emerged after Murphy faced allegations that he had inflated his resume.
"It seems that the allegations of abuse against Grayson took the wind out of his campaign sails and allowed Murphy to get off the ropes after it seemed the meme about Murphy exaggerating his accomplishments would sink his campaign," Jewett said.
Grayson has repeatedly denied the domestic-abuse allegations. But Murphy used the issue as a justification for not debating Grayson this month.
Grayson, while talking to reporters this month on a tour bus prior to a campaign stop in Tampa, called Murphy's reasoning to back out of the debate a "lame excuse."
"The pro is that the public sees that he is a coward," said Grayson, who often appears to be on crusade against Murphy and the party's Senate leadership. "He's been exposed as the corporate shill and faker that he really is."
Murphy, whose campaign appears to be focused more on Rubio, has avoided engaging in a verbal confrontation with Grayson.
"I'm focused on my election," Murphy said while campaigning recently with Vice President Joe Biden in Tallahassee. "And I think Congressman Grayson's lost quite a bit of credibility, and I think voters have a very stark difference here in the two candidates."
Born in Miami, Murphy, 33, grew up in Key Largo. He earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Miami, then passed the certified public accountant exam in Colorado in 2009, a year before going to work at his father's construction business.
Murphy, in his first campaign, defeated Republican tea party favorite U.S. Rep. Allen West in 2012 for the Republican-leaning Congressional 18 seat that includes St. Lucie, Martin and northern Palm Beach counties. Murphy was re-elected with 60 percent of the vote in 2014.
Murphy's been ranked among the most conservative House Democrats but has also received praise for his attention to constituent services and for backing water bills that seek to help clean and protect the Indian River Lagoon.
But this year Murphy has been on the defensive for having been registered a Republican prior to running for office, a $2,300 donation to the presidential candidacy of Mitt Romney in 2007 and votes in Congress on matters that went against the positions of liberals and the White House. Those votes dealt with issues such the Keystone XL pipeline and the creation of a congressional committee after the 2012 Benghazi attack to investigate former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
While Republicans may not openly admit it, they appear to prefer facing Grayson in the November general election.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee and a group known as the Senate Leadership Fund have relentlessly attacked Murphy through emails that highlight each gaffe and negative news report.
Grayson, 58, was born in the Bronx. He worked his way through Harvard, earning an economics degree in 1978 and a law degree five years later. He clerked at the Colorado Supreme Court and the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
His portfolio grew - he's been ranked among the wealthiest members of Congress - as president of a New Jersey-based company created to lower the cost of international phone calls and later as a trial attorney.
Grayson, who lost a congressional primary in 2006, won the then-District 8 seat in Central Florida in 2008, defeating Republican four-term incumbent Ric Keller by 4 percentage points. Grayson, knocked out of office two years later by current U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster, returned to Washington in 2012 by easily winning the newly created Democratic-leaning District 9.
Grayson, who prolifically files and pushes bills, made headlines by trying to restrict salaries of Wall Street executives as their companies were bailed out by the federal government in the recent recession. However, Grayson has faced questions about a Cayman Island hedge fund that he has said is a "family investment partnership" that abides by the directives of securities lawyers.
Also, Grayson's tendency to speak his mind, such as describing the GOP's health care plan as "don't get sick," has drawn admiration from progressives but scorn from both sides of the political aisle.
Senate Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., has called on Grayson to drop out of the Senate race over the allegation that he used his position as a sitting member of Congress to solicit investments into the hedge fund, which would violate federal law and House rules.
This year's campaign took a unique turn in May when Grayson married Dena Minning, a physician and medical researcher whom he had been dating and who is now running for his House seat as Dena Grayson.
Topping the rest of the field is Keith, a labor attorney who was a judge advocate while serving in the U.S. Navy, and has worked in Washington and as a senior labor and employment counsel for Florida Power & Light.
"It is my belief that winning Florida [in the presidential race] is going to turn on African-American votes, Latino votes, and women, and I'm the only candidate that actually helps our presidential nominee in all three categories," Keith said during a campaign stop in May.

Q: Django search for static parts of the site I am planning to use Django-Haystack to add a search component to my site. This will take care of the data I have in my models.py. I however also want data which is not in a model, but part of templates to be searchable. How can I get this.

A: There is a django app called haystack-static-pages that should help here. It's not been updated for a while so I doubt it will work with haystack 2.0, but I hope this might be of some help to you:

"Toxic" is a planet class, and an item distribution flag.
If an item has a DIST line with the entry "toxic", then it can be found at two types of planets: volcanic and toxic worlds.
Volcanic and toxic planets, and their corresponding items, show up quite at a variety of starclasses. In roughly descending order or likelihood, these items can show up at bluegt, exotic, blue, blwhite, binary, redgt and green. More than half of all items found at [[[blue giant]] or exotic stars will be items with the "hot" tag.
In the absence of mods, "toxic" is designated Planet Class "J". As mentioned above, "toxic" planets also have the item distribution flag of "toxic".
A "toxic" planet can appear as a planet at stars of the following star classes, in roughly descending order of probability: bluegt, exotic, blwhite, blue, binary, and redgt.
TEXT Toxic hellworlds are hot, geologically young and possess either poisonous or corrosive atmospheres. Many toxic planets are dangerously radioactive.

In a large heavy pot add bacon and render until golden and crispy. Pour off all fat except 4 tablespoons. Add onions, celery, bell pepper and carrots and cook for 10 minutes, until vegetables are softened. Do not allow to color. Add garlic, bay leaves, oregano, thyme and crushed red pepper and cook an additional 2 minutes. Increase heat to high and add potatoes, reserved clam broth, and chicken stock and bring to a boil, covered. Cook for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the broth has thickened somewhat. Add tomatoes and continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and add reserved clams and parsley and season with pepper and salt, if necessary. Allow chowder to sit for up to 1 hour to allow flavors to meld, then reheat slowly over low fire if necessary. Do not allow to boil.


The Sun will unveil the 2018 Marylander of the Year later this week, but as usual, we found far more people deserving of recognition this year than those we named as finalists this month. Here are five more individuals and groups who made Maryland a better place this year.
Anne Arundel County Council members are sworn in. They are, from left, Saray Lacey, Allison Pickard, Nathan Volke, Andrew Pruski, Amanda Fiedler, Lisa Rodvien and Jessica Haire.
For the last eight years, the Anne Arundel County Council was made up of seven men and zero women. And those men, sad to say, did not always represent the best in the county. One went to jail for five months for failing to file tax returns. One was a long-time member of a segregationist organization, and another had a track record of insensitive remarks about minorities and the poor. Republican Amanda Fiedler did us all a favor by knocking out former League of the South member Michael Peroutka in the primary, and she turned out to be in the vanguard of a women's movement in Arundel politics. She and Sarah Lacey, Allison Pickard, Lisa Brannigan Rodvien and Jessica Haire comprise a female-majority council. Meanwhile, Pam Beidle and Sarah Elfreth took over seats in the county's formerly all-male Senate delegation.
Ken and Gloria Mayfield Banks, a local philanthropic couple who live in Ellicott City, joined a wave of celebrities and sports figures in paying for kids to go see "Black Panther" in theaters by taking 165 Baltimore-area youth to the movie at the Cinemark Theater in Towson.
Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg will give $1.8 billion in scholarship money to Johns Hopkins University, the largest gift to any academic institution in U.S. history.
No one in history has been more generous to his alma mater than businessman and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been to Johns Hopkins University. It's school of public health is named for him, and one of the new towers at the hospital is named for his mother. But this year's contribution to the university was truly jaw-dropping: a $1.8 billion gift to enable the university to pursue need-blind admissions to its undergraduate programs. The money will go exclusively to scholarships for low- and moderate-income families and will enable the university to eliminate the need for loans in its financial aid packages. Mr. Bloomberg would be a shoo-in for Marylander of the Year at some point if only he would move back to Maryland.
Herman Heyn poses with his equatorial reflector telescope on a weekend night at the foot of Broadway and Thames Street in Fell's Point. Baltimore's "street corner astronomer" since 1987, Heyn has chosen to retire.
After thirty years as Baltimore's streetcorner astronomer, Herman Heyn hung up his telescope this year. His vocation brought the Waverly resident a little fame and very little fortune but also the great love and admiration of thousands of people who peered up at the night sky with his guidance. For some, he provided a first and only glimpse of the craters of the moon or rings of Saturn; others, he inspired to a life of stargazing. But for all, he was a charming ambassador for this city's quirkiness.
April Ryan in the Press Briefing Room at the White House.
The White House correspondent and Washington bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks is hardly the only African-American woman that President Donald Trump has insulted or berated, but she is among the most forceful in calling out what has emerged as an unmistakable pattern. From political leaders (Maxine Waters, Stacey Abrams, Frederica Wilson) to Ms. Ryan's fellow journalists (Yamiche Alcindor, Abby Phillip, Jamele Hill), Mr. Trump has a habit of questioning powerful black women's intelligence, qualifications and honesty in nasty ways, even by his standards. Ms. Ryan, who lives in Baltimore and graduated from Morgan State University, withstood his threats to revoke her press credentials and fought back in the most important way: by doing her job.


In his attempts to mislead Sussex County taxpayers, Freeholder Director Phil Crabb is sounding more and more like one of those old comedic send-ups of a flannel-mouthed politician. Case in point: Crabb's pal Johnny Eskilson got caught trying to "clean up" the document trail as he leaves office. Clean up, as in shred and incinerate.
Crabb failed to return any calls or emails or text messages when asked about it for the story in Wednesday's New Jersey Herald. But having a day to rehearse, Crabb did his best "good old country-boy, I wouldn't lie to you" Senator Claghorn routine at Wednesday's Freeholder meeting.
The Freeholder Director must have had his fingers crossed when he tried to calm the public present at the meeting with the smooth words that the records that the County Administrator had sought to destroy were just odds and ends, nothing important. "A few bid hearings" and what not, Crabb told the taxpayers attending the meeting.
But Freeholder Crabb's words do not reflect what is listed on the legal request filed with the New Jersey Department of the Treasury. That document (CR-AA-0005), a "Request and Authorization for Records Disposal" was filed by the personal secretary to the Sussex County Administrator on April 9, 2015. It was approved by the Sussex County Administrator that day.
Yes, let's say that again. The Sussex County Administrator had his personal secretary, Cathy Williams, "request" that the records be destroyed. And then he approved her request. How cozy is that?
At last evening's Freeholder's meeting, Crabb complained about the volume of the records the Board had to deal with -- and he received some sympathy from those members of the public in attendance. But guess what? Crabb was pulling your chain again.
The actual volume of the documents written on the official legal request (Form CR-AA-0005) to destroy these documents is 1 cubic foot. That is 1,728 cubic inches or less than a standard piece of carry-on luggage (2,250 to 2,500 cubic inches). That is nothing like what Crabb described.
But the most important part is this. This legal request to destroy the documents (pictured below) is EXACT about what is to be destroyed. EXACT.
It means pretty much everything.
Second, go to "9. Record Series #". The legal request reads: "0511-0000". Now it gets a little more specific. According to the Record retention policy set forth by the State of New Jersey Division of Archives and Records Management (DARM), Record Series 0511-0000 are "the recordings of public meetings". This is supported by the accompanying description found in the official legal request: "Recordings of Public Meetings - Public Officials - Audio/Video (Analog and Digital)".
Third, go to "12. Inclusive Dates". The legal request reads: "From 01/1992 To 04/2013".
What this means is that Sussex County asked for permission to destroy EVERY recording of EVERY public meeting (and recordings of "public officials" at non-public meetings, read Freeholder Board executive sessions) in whatever form (analog and digital) covering the dates January 1992 to April 2013.
And when that is done we will have no actual record of what went on during the discussion stages of the solar project that has cost Sussex taxpayers millions. Because those discussions occurred from late 2010 through 2011. All we will have are summaries of what happened. No actual evidentiary record of what was said. Just a summary approved by the very parties that may be subjects of the investigation. Real cozy, huh? Real convenient too.
Is the Sussex GOP "Dysfunctional"?

There is always something a bit unworldy about an island, a sense of being removed from the mainstream of life, even if only by 3 km of water, and so it is with Matiu/Somes Island in Wellington Harbour.
In 1872 the Wellington Independent newspaper noted that the island was bare apart from "3 native palms on the east-side and ferns, toetoe and a species of cotton in a ravine near the lighthouse on the south-end"? Dr Max Bruchner, a migrant on the out of Bremen in 1878, published an account of his voyage in Breslaw and said much the same thing. Given this how can the presence of 54 species of fungi, observed over a period of 23 years, be explained? A close look at the island's history gives many clues.
From earliest days, in about the First half of the 14th century after Kupe found and named the island, various tribes fled to it in times of intertribal strife, built two fortified villages, developed kumara patches and gathered shellfish, birds, fish and edible roots. It wasn't continuously occupied because of a water shortage, and there are no records of the island's vegetation.
About 1820, whalers and sealers arrived, and the 1840s brought European settlers. Matiu Island was recognised as a convenient place to off-load those carrying exotic diseases to either die and be buried there or be released when proven healthy. Settlers were fumigated in a brick smokehouse and their clothes and bedding burnt on the beach. Accommodation had to be built to house them. Healthy people were sent to the northern part of the island and the sick people to the southern. Locally sourced materials were used as well as imported ones. One wonders what fungal spores arrived on shoes, clothing, timbers etc.
For a short time in the 1840s and before the last world war, picnickers sometimes visited, as the island was a protected habitat of birds and lizards. Primeval forest had long gone but there were a few pockets of shrubs grown from the old seedbed, and seeds brought by birds and wind.
In 1872 the island was reserved to the Queen as a Quarantine Station. Subsequently, its tradition of exclusivity was perpetuated when it was used as an animal and bird quarantine station and as a prisoner of war camp in the two world wars.
By 1877 Australian eucalyptus and English firs had been planted, maybe by lighthouse keepers, for shelter and firewood and the commonest plants were toetoe (Cortaderia sp.) and flax (Phormium tenax); two cabbage trees (Cordyline australis) grew in a cleft, and ferns were seen only on the island's shady side. There were a few wild cats, many rats and two goats, but no sheep were allowed at first, lest their wool would carry infection to the town.
One hundred years later, some Department of Agriculture staff and Forest & Bird Society members, mainly from Lower Hutt, began to augment the patches of vegetation which straggled around the fringes of the island. The largest was a pocket of karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus), ngaio (Myoporum laetum), karo (Pittosporum crassifolium), pohutakawa (Metrosideros excelsa) and prominent pines above the wharf, flaxes survived well in even the windiest spots. Tree daisies (Olearia sp.), taupata (Coprosma repens), pohuehue (Muehlenbeckia sp.), a few puriri (Vitex lucens), native kotukutuku Fuchsia excorticata and even a whau (Entelea arborescens) began to be joined by thousands of trees endemic to the area. The last hillside to be planted has been reclaimed, and non-endemic species are being removed.
It would be interesting to know what types of mycorrhizae lurk in the soils. The various Pinus species proved treasure troves, as they are very old. The mycorrhizae seemed to spread for metres. In the grass amongst their roots are red and white Amanita muscaria (exotic) and big fleshy brown capped Lepista nuda (exotic) with bright purple gills and white-purple flushed stipes.
In the rich soils of the areas where the lighthouse keepers and quarantine workers kept flocks of sheep, the edible Agaricus campestris, Macrolepiota and Lycoperdon sp. are found. On one ancient storm-wracked Pinus macrocarpa were two prized specimens of Tyromyces setiger with bristly upper surface and distinctive blue-white tints. Other conifers held the shelf fungus Phellinus wahlbergii, bright orange Pycnoporus coccineus, the ruffled fan-shaped and stiped brown, orange, grey and green Trametes versicolor, and the hairy Trametes hirsuta.
Fallen and decaying branches and twigs of karaka, pohutakawa, ngaio, karo, puriri and manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) are difficult to identify but held many fungi. There are delicate cream, kidney-shaped Crepidotus mollis and C. variabilis; thick brown ear-like Auricularia cornea, and droves of radially grooved bell-like Coprinus disseminatus which change colour from cream to grey and have a striking yellow apex. As logs fall and decay, they have a succession of colonizers, groups of orange-brown, pointy-capped Galerina sp. one year, the next invariably a velvety net-patterned Pluteus velutinoratus and later the black, white spore tipped "Dead men's fingers" of Xylaria hypoxylon. On manuka/kanuka wood, the fresh pink splotches with white woolly margins of Aleurodiscus ochraceoflavus are seen just before complete disintegration of the branches.
Cut ends of logs are the preferred habitat of the tiny, jelly-like fingers of Dacrymyces stillatus, and on the old roots are often large, bright orange specimens of Gymnopilus junonius with caps up to 15cm diameter and wide rings on their stems. Wound sites on old ngaio trees held Marasmius sp. and about 10 years ago, fallen branches began to be coated with drifts of Favolaschia calocera, an orange fungus with little holes on the underside. This fungus is thought to have been introduced from Madagascar. It first appeared in New Zealand about 1970 and is now widespread. It is always a pleasure to find twigs with bird's nest fungi (Cyathus novae-zeelandiae) with its little round cups filled with egg-shaped spores, ready to be splashed out by a drop of rain.
The distinctive brown circular caps of Polyporus arcularius made their trip to the island on a sheet of plywood used in the nursery where indigenous plants are propagated, and bright red Stropharia aurantiaca grow happily in the sawdust between the rows. In the soil and potting mix in the plant pots, Inocybe sp. flourish and over the past three years have been making their way down zigzag paths beneath the nursery.
Leaf litter is always a rich source of fungi and Matiu Island had Paurocotylis pila, Lyophyllum decastes, the ubiquitous Laccaria laccata and the lacey basket-like Ileodictyon cibarius with its odorous spore-filled gleba. By far the most exciting find was a yet unnamed Amanita with its pointed cap and stipe thickly covered with felty grey scales, previously thought to be a rare sub-tropical species. How did it get to Matiu/Somes Island?

In the movie's final scene we see Darby in her room at the facility, with a drawing from a young girl on her wall that we can assume is from Jay—she got out alive too. A nurse knocks on Darby's door and tells her she has a visitor. It's her sister, Devon. The sisters stare at each other, and the movie ends.
In No Exit, Jean-Paul Sartre suggests that true misery comes from the human inability to control the nature of one's own existence. To make this point, he portrays hell as a simple drawing-room that accommodates three recently deceased people—Garcin, Inez, and Estelle.
No Exit, one-act philosophical drama by Jean-Paul Sartre, performed in 1944 and published in 1945. Its original, French title, Huis clos, is sometimes also translated as In Camera or Dead End. The play proposes that "hell is other people" rather than a state created by God.
It turns out Ash is Lars' partner and he is the one who kidnapped her. Ash reaches the car, however, by then, Darby has escaped. She reaches the visitors' center by one of the routes and as soon as she entered the center, Ash confronts her and tells her not to say anything.
Ash burns the house, just as the police show up. Darby shoots Ash down, leading the police officer to then shoot Darby. That, in turn, leads Ash to shoot the officer dead. Darby is still alive though – just – and she eventually stabs Ash and manages to stop him.
By Jean-Paul Sartre
Jean-Paul Sartre uses his play No Exit to explore many of the existentialist themes discussed in his philosophical treatise Being and Nothingness. Most prominently, No Exit focuses on the ideas of competitive subjectivity, the look and others, objectification, and bad faith.
The play ends in great tragedy. Inez, Estelle, and Garcin are totally defeated by their inner beings. On earth, they lived a damned existence, and in Hell they are condemned to an eternity of torturing one another. Even when the door in Hell swings open, there is "no exit" for these three tragic beings.
What makes "No Exit" so riveting is the way these three people drop their connections to the living world and face themselves. There are no mirrors in this room because these three are reflections of each other's darkest secrets. And because they see each other so clearly, their self-inflicted pain is constant.
Estelle is the one who tortures Inez ' she will not allow Inez to be her looking glass.
Three characters come together in this microcosm of Hell in a way which shows their indispensability to one another: They become inextricably involved in each other's stories, and they represent the fundamental idea of the play-namely, that other people are torture for us.
Although it is ineffective, it leads to Estelle's acceptance that she is truly dead and in hell. The bronze statue serves a similar purpose for Garcin. It symbolizes the futility of escape because it is too heavy to move.
According to this expression the space is closed in two ways: just as no one can exit, no new person can enter. The three characters in Sartre's play are both attending and starring in their own sold-out show. The only difference is that this performance never ends.
Climax: The plot reaches its climax when the door of Hell opens unexpectedly. Garcin, who has been banging at the door throughout the play and hoping to escape, decides it is best to stay in Hell. Estelle and Inez also choose to remain. Outcome: The play ends as a tragedy.
She even develops a fondness for Garcin, mainly because he's a man and because she yearns for him to be attracted to her, since this would help her solidify her sense of self. Garcin is uninterested in giving her this attention, but Inez is very attracted to her, though Estelle doesn't care.
Inez was living with her cousin, who was married to Florence. When the man got on their nerves, the women moved out and lived together. He was killed, and in despair, Florence turned the gas oven on one night, killing both Inez and herself.
Actually, the paper-knife is a reference to Sartre's philosophical treatise, Being and Nothingness. In the philosophical work, Sartre explains the fundamental existential tenet, "Existence precedes essence."
Sartre deliberately wrote No Exit as a one-act play so that theater-goers would not be kept past the German-imposed curfew. Many forms of entertainment, including plays, had to be approved by German censors. During rehearsals, clearance to perform the play was given and taken away several times.

If you complain of mild to moderate pain a doctor will freely prescribe NSAIDs, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. However, they are not benign as you think, especially if taken long term and if you have Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. NSAIDs are linked to numerous health complaints.
Leaky gut has been shown to play a large role in autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's hypothyroidism.
Look for natural remedies for inflammation and pain. There are many alternatives, such as liposomal turmeric and resveratrol. These are also great for taming the inflammation that comes with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism flares. Ask my office for advice.
Balance blood sugar. Many people have blood sugar that is too high, too low, or a combination of both. Balancing blood sugar is critical to reduce inflammation and pain. These are just a few ways to use functional medicine to address the root causes of inflammation and pain so that you can stop taking NSAIDs. They are also some very basic foundations to managing autoimmune Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. Ask my office for more advice.

EXCLUSIVE: Top Air Force general says 'all programs are at risk'
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
Barrie Barber, Staff Writer
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein addresses concern over budget as government shutdown deadline looms next week.
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE —
The absence of a defense budget is the biggest threat the Air Force faces today as it grapples with adversaries and threats around the world, the service branch's top general says.
In an exclusive interview Tuesday with this news outlet, Gen. David L. Goldfein addressed, among other priorities, the consequences a lack of a budget would cause, the future of technology development at the Wright-Patterson headquartered-Air Force Research Laboratory, and welcoming input from President Donald Trump to lower the cost of weapon systems without sacrificing capability.
RELATED: Air Force redirects more money to small businesses; area firms benefit
The four-star general was at Wright-Patterson to mark the 75th anniversary of the Doolittle Raiders historic attack against Japan in World War II.
Under current spending caps, the Air Force will confront a $2.8 billion shortfall if Congress and the White House fail to agree to a budget deal and continue to spend at last year's levels under a continuing resolution that expires at the end of this month.
"For a service chief, the most important thing for me in terms of trying to really deliver for the nation is predictable funding because without it you just can't plan," he said. "If you're going from year to year, it's almost impossible to do any kind of long-term planning and it wreaks havoc on industry who is trying to deliver for us.

"Without a budget, all programs are at risk and we'll have to make the strategic trades a service chief has to make between capability, capacity and readiness," Goldfein added. "That's the sandbox that we operate it. My ability to make those kind of flexible trades, to be able to deliver what the nation needs is dependent on being able to get a stable budget that I can count on for more than a year or two years."

'Significant impact'
Capping spending levels at last year's budget will impact Air Force readiness and operations, he said. The four-star general has told Congress that could mean everything from grounding planes to delaying maintenance to postponing retention bonuses.
"It's going to have a significant impact on our readiness to be able to do all those jobs simultaneously," he said.

Unless Congress acts, the federal government faces a partial government shutdown April 28 when funding under the current spending resolution runs out.
The last shutdown sent thousands of Wright-Patterson civil service workers home for days in 2013.
The youngest civilian workers were hit the hardest, a situation Goldfein said he wants to avoid. Some faced hardships such as not having a paycheck to pay rent, he said.
"It was devastating," he said. "… The worst part is that many of them decided that they couldn't hang with this business of working for government and we lost really talented young men and women. We broke faith with them. They're the ones I'm most concerned with in a government shutdown."
The Air Force is able to meet a hot spot of demands around the globe but the lack of a budget creates risks, the former fighter pilot said.

"Make no mistake, when it comes to taking the fight against ISIS or assuring our allies and partners in the Pacific or deterring bad behavior around the globe, we're able to meet and succeed in our global commitments today," Goldfein said. "And that's a statement not only for the Air Force, that's a statement for the Joint Force.
"The challenge is as we start moving more and more towards simultaneous activity then our challenge with current readiness begins to become more problematic," he said. "So what you're hearing from all the service chiefs is, in this global security environment, that continues to get more dangerous not less, presents even higher risk if we don't get a budget that allows us to fund the training and fund the readiness that we desperately need to maintain to be able to keep these global commitments."
Trump criticizes aircraft
President Donald Trump has criticized the cost of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and a future Air Force One Boeing 747-8 jetliner, but Goldfein indicated he welcomed the input.
"For one I'll tell you that I'm actually very appreciative of the president's interest and anything that can help get the costs of these programs down lower, certainly for a service chief is win-win," he said.
"… To have pressure that allows us to be able to procure weapon systems at lower cost is really helpful. The biggest challenge that I see in the future that we've really got to work on is the life cycle costs and the sustainment costs because quite frankly that's what eats your lunch over time."
McMaster urges Russia to withdraw support for Assad.https://t.co/i3RpQpe4KC #Syria
Citing the work of AFRL, the chief of staff said he's focused on creating a network to connect different capabilities in new ways on a multitude of platforms and weapon systems.
"The reality is our Air Force of the future is it's going to be both old and new," he said. "It's going to be manned and unmanned, it's going to be some portion of its that penetrating and some of it that's stand-off. It's going to have some of it that's conventional and some of it that's unconventional…"
To bolster its workforce and meet rising demands, the Air Force has targeted adding 4,000 additional airmen on active duty in critical areas such as maintainers, nuclear and cyber jobs. Goldfein anticipated a corresponding growth in personnel numbers in the Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, and civilian workforce, but did not have specifics.
He also said he's focused on landing a budget deal before the Pentagon and Congress consider a round of base closures, but he added realignment of missions is as important as talk of closing bases.
While he did not talk specifics about how Wright-Patterson might fare in a base realignment and closure process, he did say the "absolutely incredible support" the Dayton region has shown airmen and their families ranks as a factor.
"That's as important as anything we else we do when it comes to how a base fares in this kind of a discussion," he said.

Pittsburgh's negative population growth makes the city's mall business a market share game. Ross Park Mall, South Hills, Monroeville and the Mall at Robinson lead the market in the north, south, east and west, respectively. Simon is the market dominator, though CBL & Associates is growing its position with the recent purchase of Monroeville Mall from Turnberry Associates for some $200 million. Pittsburgh Mills, set to open in 2005 on the north side, may steal business from Simon's market-leading Ross Park.

Auto-Select: The vast majority of Gigs will be assigned by our system. Who is selected factors in the Gigwalker's history/reputation, their distance from the gig, and the length of time they select in the application. You should hear back on your application in about an hour.
NOTE: applying from more than ~50 miles away will ensure you do NOT get approved. Please wait until you're closer to a gig before applying for it.
Manual-Select: Sometimes the client needs to manually select which Gigwalker will complete the work. When you apply for these types of gigs, you need to enter a short application message (140 characters or less) indicating why you would be a good choice for the job. In this case, the client will manually select a worker, which may take some time.
NOTE: On manual-select gigs, if someone else is selected, your application will still say "In Review" until the work has been completed, as there is still a chance that the other Gigwalker will not complete the job and your application will be active again. Once it says "Not Selected", this means that the other Gigwalker has completed the work and it has been approved. If you want to make the "In Review" applications disappear (and you are sure you do not want the chance to complete this gig), you can withdraw your application. Read how to do so here: What if I want to withdraw my application?


- Preheat the oven to 350 and line a 12-muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
- Spray with the liners with canola spray to prevent sticking.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powders, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl combine the rice milk, oil, maple syrup, sugar, vinegar and vanilla. Beat at medium speed for about two minues.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat for about another minute to combine.
- Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full and bake for about 25-30 minutes. - Remove from oven and allow to fully cool.
- Cream the shortening for a few minutes until soft. This is easiest using a stand mixer but can be done with a handheld mixer (or a fork) as long as the shortening is at room temperature.
- Add 1 cup of the powdered sugar and a few splashes of the soycreamer. Mix to incorporate and continue to alternate until all the powdered sugar is used up and the frosting is at the desired consistency.
- Add vanilla and mint.
- Melt chocolate and soycreamer on top of a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth and runny; be careful not to burn or the chocolate will seize up and become bitter.
- Use a piping bag with a large star tip to frost cupcakes. Place a dollop of ganache on top. You could alternately decorate with 1/2 a Newman mint-o cookie or even a sprig of fresh mint.

Lipogramma idabeli, a Gorgeous New Species of Deepwater Basslet
Jake Adams Dec 20, 2018 0
Lipogramma idabeli is a gorgeous and unexpected new species of basslet recently described from Honduras. Like similar species of Lipogramma, L. idabelli was collected at the abyssal depths of 125 to 150 meters, or between 410 to 492 feet deep.
Lipogramma idabeli is quite a small fish growing to just barely an inch long at 26 mm total length but what it lacks in size it makes up for in color. The Lipogramma basslets have interesting sometimes muted coloration but Lipogramma idabeli is blessed with beautiful blue and gold coloration.
The body of the Idabel basslet is mostly yellow with translucent fins and a bright patch of irridescent blue on the head and nape. The eyes are bright blue and there is a well defined black ocellus in the middle of the blue patch, with a more subtle smaller one at the base of the posterior dorsal fin.
The newly discovered Lipogramma idabeli is described by Tornabene, Robertson & Baldwin and brings the total number of described species in the genus to 13 following a few inductees to Lipogramma earlier this year. Below you can see a video clip of the first collection of Lipogramma idabeli.
