Q: Mavenized Mule project but Munit test run is failing I have an existing Mule project (which has MUnit's also) and now we are trying to mavenize this project. I have used Anypoint studio only to mavenize and project building is success and I am able to get target/test-classes and target/classes folder but when I am trying to run Munit test (tried to run specific test case also) that time it is failing with below error.

Students are known to study various types of information when in learning institutions. Some of the faculties that are offered in colleges are numeracy, history, and languages. Students are known to specialize in these subjects when they advance to higher levels of learning. Individuals are found to select courses depending on various things. One of the major reasons that motivate students to go for certain courses is career possibilities. Students are needed in the modern times to choose career subjects that are demanded in the globe. One of the subjects that is highly regarded in the employment field is history. A lot of individuals who have studied history in colleges are not idle in the globe. It is always normal to come across persons who are hopeless with their degree in history. Here are some of the career options of people with history degree. It is possible to be a history teacher by having a history degree. History teachers are needed in both primary and secondary schools.
For one to be a history teacher, is it demanded of them to get a permit from the state. You are able to be employed in museums by graduating in history class. It is found for museums to contain skeletons of creatures of old periods. Being employed in such an area, one is needed to impart knowledge to individuals who pay a visit to the building for cash. People with history degrees can be recruited as history librarians. Expect to come across public and institution libraries in every region. After getting a position in these places, your work is directing people in the shelves that contain history books. It is possible to get a job in political field by having a history degree. History graduates are able to become advisers and lawyers in political forum. As a legal advisory, politicians can be successful through your historical knowledge on politics.
Being an advocate, you are supposed to study law so as to be licensed in the job. Law schools always accept individuals with history degree. History graduates can earn a living by becoming documentations. A lot of individuals love watching documentaries of the past. One can even come up with their own historical film studio to benefit from the community at large. People who have graduated in history can be employed in archaeological work. People who work in these areas are always found to be promoted by the national leadership for their good work. As a history graduate, you can do marvelous by writing history reading materials. Expect colleges to look for history book from popular producers. You can get a job in governmental archives by graduating in history course.


The Young Talent Architecture Award (YTAA) launches its second edition supporting the talent of recently graduated Architects, Urban Planners and Landscape Architects and opens call for school submissions until February 2018.
YTAA is organized by the Fundació Mies van der Rohe with the support of Creative Europe as an extension of the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award, and World-Architects as Founding Partner.
"YTAA seeks to become a privileged observatory of architectural education, so the proposed works are not limited by scale or programme. The Jury selection for each biennial edition represents an extensive overview of quality architectural design but the common denominator remains the contribution that these designs make to the built environment" explains Michel Magnier, Director for Culture and Creativity at the European Commission.

Spain ended the third quarter of 2018 with 6.9 million subscribers to pay-TV services, according to the latest data published by the regulator CNMC. This was 7.4% more than in the same period last year.
The biggest growth was seen in customers using IP technology to receive services (+745,000 year-on-year), while both cable and DTH subscriber numbers fell.
CNMC also notes that the total number of quadruple and quintuple packages in the country stood at 12.1 million as of September 30, 2018.
This was 645,000 more than a year earlier, with quintuple packages accounting for almost all the growth.
Furthermore, there were 14.8 million fixed broadband connections, of which 10.6 million, or 1.7 million more than a year earlier, had contracted speeds of 30Mbps or higher.
Nearly two-thirds (62.5%) of the latter had a contracted speed of 100Mbps or more.

Q: Static Class Initialization in .NET I know we dont initialize a static class. We can use them by class name. But it has to be in the Static Memory so that we can use them. When does a Static Class get placed in Static Memory? Is it on RunTime or Lazy Loading?

A: I suspect you're thinking of it as lazy. I don't know what you mean by "static memory," but I think under that is a very viable question about the workings of static members and how they play with memory. Static members will be placed in "regular memory," just like any instance members.
Static instances are placed onto the heap at load-time (although it is a different kind of heap than instance ones, called the High Frequency Heap), but are not initialized until use. Depending on which static members you have (and namely their types, and whether those types are reference or value types), this can be a big or a small deal.
For instance, if you have a byte array with 200 elements, that will be loaded only when you use it (less the null that it will initially hold). But if you have 200 byte elements, each will be placed into memory at the beginning.
In other words, before use, ClassA will take up less memory than ClassB, but during use, they'll be similar. Not exactly the same, of course, but you can imagine the point I'm trying to make.
static class ClassA
{
    public static byte[] bytes = new byte[] { 1, 12 };
}

static class ClassB
{
    public static byte ByteA = 1;
    public static byte ByteB = 12;
}

That's because in ClassA, the initial value of bytes is null, but in ClassB, there are two values stored from the process's start, both of which happen to be 0. You can imagine how this might play into things with other reference- versus value-typed fields.
Another difference comes into play when the GC runs. If I'm not mistaken (although I don't believe this is spec'd behavior), static members aren't garbage collected until the process is terminated. Other than that, though, you can (loosely) think of them as a simple, compiler-enforced singleton instance of the class.

The easiest way to determine this "lazy loading" of values would be to place a side-effecting call in a static constructor. Something like,
public class Foo
{
    static Foo()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("In static constructor!");
    }

    public static void Bar()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("In Bar!");
    }
}

Put in the context of a small console app, you could easily determine when the constructor is called, and infer that that, too, is when static members are placed into memory.
void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine("First line!");
    Foo.Bar();
    Console.WriteLine("Last line!");
}

This program outputs:
First line!
In static constructor!
In Bar!
Last line!

You can also find this information in the C# 5.0 spec (§10.12 Static Constructors),

The static constructor for a closed class type executes at most once in a given application domain. The execution of a static constructor is triggered by the first of the following events to occur within an application domain:

*

*An instance of the class type is created.

*Any of the static members of the class type are referenced.

In laymen's terms, the static members are initialized the first time you use the static class. If it's never used, they're never initialized.

Just to drive my point home, let's look at a final pair of methods.
static class Foo
{
    public static int X = 2;
    public static byte[] Bytes = new byte[] { 24, 66 };
}
class Bar
{
    public int X = 2;
    public byte[] Bytes = new byte[] { 24, 66 };
}

Stepping through (at an IL-level), the interactions with these classes would be pretty different.
Consider a method:
void Main(string[] args)
{
    // Foo is put into memory when the process spins up:
    //     X : 0
    //     Bytes : null

    Console.Write(Foo.X); // During this line, Foo is initialized
                          //     X : 2
                          //     Bytes : 24, 66

    Console.Write(Foo.X); // Nothing happens

    Bar b = new Bar(); // During this line, Bar is put into memory, then initialized
                       //     X : 0, then "instantaneously" becomes 2
                       //     Bytes : null, then "instantaneously" becomes 24, 66

    Console.Write(b.X); // Nothing happens

    // Eventually, b will be cleared from memory by the garbage collector
    // but Foo will not be, until the program closes. This sample is much
    // too small to display that difference.

The first step is to open the QuickTime application along with which ever presentation platform—like PowerPoint for Prezi—you are using. When you have both of these applications open head over to the QuickTime Application, then up to the file tab in the menu bar and select new screen recording.
Once you select a new screen recording a mini menu box will appear. In the center of it is the recording button. Immediately to the right of the recording button is a carrot. This is for your audio options make whether or not you're using a microphone. The volume bar underneath is for your audio monitor. This is whether or not you want to hear your voice playback to you as you're recording what you're speaking.
The top of this menu is your audio monitor and what it shows you how loud the input volume from the microphone is while you're recording. Pay attention to this because this will reflect how loudly your voice will be on the actual recording once it's done.
When you have all of the settings done the way you want hit record. This will change the screen you can either click on the rectangle in the middle of the screen for full screen recording or choose which part of the screen you wish to record. The other instruction in this rectangle tells you to end the recording by clicking the stop button in the menu bar. Once you start recording, in the top right corner of your screen, near of the volume, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi icons, there'll be a stop button. This is what it is referring to.
If you have selected to only record a portion of your screen then the following picture Will be the next screen you'll see. After you have the portion of the screen you wish to record hit me start recording button in the middle of the screen. This will return you to a normal looking screen even though now all of the audio and the actions taken on the screen are being recorded.
After you start recording click into your presentation platform enter full screen mode for your slide share or presentation mode, whichever one it is, and begin giving your presentation. When you're done hit the stop stop by and at the top right corner and be sure to save video.
I have had really good luck by using my iPhone headphones to have the little microphone in them while recording videos. The audio quality surprisingly exceptional for such basic and small equipment.
If you don't have the iPhone headphones the built-in microphone in the Apple laptops are quite good as well. However you're likely to pick up more background noise with whatever room you're in or whatever meeting is going on in the room next to you.
Speak to the back of the room. Record your presentation as if you were giving it at the conference or seminar.
Rehearse rehearse rehearse. You may have to do multiple takes of your video but that's why we edit. However, we can reduce our editing time if you take the time to perfect your presentation before you record.
Make sure that you take all of the necessary steps to reduce the amount of noise that could potentially be picked up by The microphone. This includes your watch order jewelry on your hands and wrists, the cap on your bottled water, your soda can, buttons on your jacket hitting the table, coughing, sneezing, sighing, and the surprisingly loud paper turning.
Be kind to the video editors and give a couple seconds of the dead noise around any screw ups so we know that there's an editing point. This will make everything faster.

# Visit Taj Mahal:- Taj Mahal One of the seven wonders of the world Taj Mahal was built by a grief stricken Emperor Shahjahan as a memorial to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. A world-renowned wonder, Taj Mahal sits pretty on the northern side of this green paradise. It looks the same from all the four sides! The Quranic inscriptions on its four entrances are carved in such subtle increase in size that may appear to be of the same size from top to bottom! Shahjahan invited master craftsmen from as far as Italy and Persia to help design his ambitious tribute to love. Taj Mahal is phenomenal not in the beauty alone that shines forth, but in the deep planning and design that went into its making, and the ethereal idea of immortalizing love. Delicate carvings in marble vie with gorgeous pietra dura for attention. Lapis-lazuli, Cornelian, Mother of pearl, Agate and Emerald are inlayed in floral and geometrical patterns in the marble itself. This enchanting mausoleum, on the bank of river Yamuna started in 1631 and it took 22 years to complete with the help of an estimated 20000 workers.
# Taj Mahal:- An essential sight for all visitors to India is one of the most achingly beautiful architectural achievements in the world, and is considered to be a symbol of enduring love. Shrouded in white marble the sheer elegance, purity and sentiment that are an integral part of the monument have touched the hearts of people from all corners of the world. One of the seven wonders of the world and a world heritage site was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in loving memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal who died while giving birth to their fourteenth child. Built in pure white marble Taj Mahal is located along the banks of the River Yamuna, the Taj spreads across almost 42 acres of land and it is believed that this particular spot was chosen by the emperor because of its peaceful and soothing effect. One of the seven wonders of the world, it stands as a tribute to undying love and all who visit it stand awed at the first impression created by this marvel in white marble.
# Visit Red Agra Fort:- The great Mughal Emperor Akbar commissioned the construction of the Agra Fort in 1666, A.D. although additions were made till the time of his grandson Shahjahan. The forbidding exteriors of this fort hide an inner paradise. There are a number of exquisite buildings like Moti Masjid - a white marble mosque akin to a perfect pearl; Diwan-I-Am, Diwan-I-Khaas, Musamman Burj - where Shahjahan died in 1666 A.D. Jahangir's Palace; Khaas Mahal and Shish Mahal.
# Agra Red Fort:- Agra fort is the most important fort of India, The great mughals: Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jehan and Aurangzeb lived here and country was governed from here. It contained the largest state treasury and mint. It was visited by foreign ambassadors, Travelers and the highest dignitaries who participated in the making of medieval history of India. No other fort of India had this honor. Agra Fort Stands on an ancient site just by the river Yamuna. It was brick fort and Chauhan Rajputs held it. It is mentioned for the first time in 1080 AD when a Ghaznavide force captured it. Sikandar lodhi (1487-1517) was the first sultan of Delhi who shifted to Agra and lived in the fort. He governed the country from here and Agra assumed the prominence of the second capital. He died in the fort in 1517 and his son Ibrahim lodhi held it for 9 years until he was defeated and killed at Panipat in 1526. Several places, Wells and a Mosque were built in the fort during the lodhi period. Agra Fort Constructed by Emperor Akabar in 1565 A.D and includes many other buildings like the Moti Masjid and Musanman Burj, where Shah Jahan is believed to have been imprisoned and died.
# Visit Itmad-ud-daula(Baby Taj):- Itmad-ud-daula has a special place in the chronicles of both history as well as architecture. This is precisely because Itmad ud Daula is the very first tomb in India that is entirely made out of Marble. This is actually a mausoleum that overlooks the River Yamuna and is a tomb of Mir Ghiyas Beg, a minister in the court of Shah Jahan.
# Visit Itmad-ud-daula(Baby Taj):- Has a special place in the chronicles of both history as well as architecture. This is precisely because Itmad ud Daula is the very first tomb in India that is entirely made out of Marble. This is actually a mausoleum that overlooks the River Yamuna and is a tomb of Mir Ghiyas Beg, a minister in the court of Shah Jahan. Itmad-ud-daula is a pure white and elaborately carved tomb that conforms to the Islamic style of architecture. The Indo-Islamic architecture becomes prominent because of the fusion that this tomb displays. While the use of arched entrances and octagonal shaped towers signify the Persian influence, the absence of a dome and the presence of a closed kiosk on top of this building and the use of canopies talks about the possible Indian influence. From out side, when you take a bird eye view, Itmad-ud-daula looks like a jewel box set in a garden. This tranquil, small, garden located on the banks of the Yamuna was to inspire the construction of the Taj Mahal in the later years.
# Visit Akbar�s Tomb at Sikandra:- One of famous mugal Era building in Agra and most visit tourist place of Agra. Sikandra fort is also known as mausoleum of Akbar. Fort of sikandra has blending of Islamic, Jain, Hindu and Christian theme. Fort of Sikandra is named after ruler of Delhi Sikandar lodhi, which was the ruler of Delhi in the year 1488 to 1517. Fort of Sikandra was built by Akbar. After death of Akbar it is continued by Jahangir son of Akbar. This fort is located about at a distance of 10 kms from the city centre.
# Visit Fatehpur Sikri:- the deserted red Sandstone City, Emperor Akbar built that as his capital and palace in the late 16th century is an exhilarating experience. It a veritable fairytale city and its "ruins" are in pristine condition ... it's not hard to imagine what the court life must have been like in the days of it's grandeur.
# After Proceed back to Delhi:-Finally you will proceed back to Delhi along with an impression of Taj Mahal and a sheer magic that the Taj exudes making it an unforgettable and cherished image forever.

It's not about replicating meat; it's about moving vegetables from side dish to the center of the plate. Most of all, it's about making delicious food that just happens to be vegetarian.
After our focus on Southern vegetarian favorites in our first cookbook, now we've branched out to highlight hearty and satisfying vegetarian dishes inspired by cuisines from all over the world in The Chubby Vegetarian. In the space of a few years, we lost a combined one hundred pounds by focusing our diet on vegetables, grains, and fruit—with the occasional over-the-top-dinner (and usually a dessert, too!).

Is It Time for the Jets to Rebuild.
By KINGDIRK,
October 2, 2012 in NY Jets Forum
when has rebuilding ever worked in the NFL?
unbanmadmike1 50

Getting better players and getting rid of bad ones works.
that's not rebuilding.... that's reloading.
rebuilding is when you play scrubs like Mcelroy and hope to get a high draft pick. It's usually a multi-year situation.
I have no problem with them reloading.
I think if you hire a new GM-he has to pick the coach he wants. He may want Rex, but he should have the choice. Otherwise, Woody is guiding the organization. Heaven knows, Rex can coach, but he cannot be the guiding light of an entire organization
The Jets have a very tight salary cap situation until 2014, when they can dump a number of contracts. So a complete rebuild in 2013 really can't happen.
If the team continues to suck as bad as it has over the past three weeks, I think laying the blame at Tannenbaum is appropriate. So you replace him, and that immediately puts the head coach on notice. When Mike Holmgren took over the Browns, he held onto Mangini for a year. The new GM gets a draft and limited free agent class, and sees what Rex can do with them for a season. The whole roster needs to be evaluated, why not the coach, too?
After the 2013 season, the GM can decide whether or not he needs to replace Rex, and the complete rebuild can get underway with a lot of overpaid underachievers hitting the street.
If you're playing a scrub at QB to tank NEXT year that's a problem. If you have a young QB of the future but are in the process of turning around the rest of the roster, like the Colts, for example, that's part of a rebuilding process.

If it's time for the Jets to rebuild, it shouldn't be Tannenbaum doing it.

Perhaps I confused you not hating it as vehemently as I did with liking it. My bad.

Rex is a mascot. He is designed to help pump up mid-level fans into buying PSLs.
After that, there does not seem to be much substance as to sustainable football acumen. This team has been in steady decline. That falls on the coach.
3 years as a Head Coach, never had a losing season, defense has never finished out of the top 5, has the most playoff wins in the history of franchise as a Head Coach, all the while doing it with the worst QB in the league in an era where passing teams dominate.
Rex is positive for this team, not a negative.
Jets have more former first rounders on their current roster than any other team don't they? sh*t? I dunno about that... I think this team has plenty of talented guys on it, the way they are managed is a problem and their lack of balls is a problem.
Either way, if we had a shot at getting a real football guy in here as GM - and the price was losing Rex, I'd be okay with that based on the assumption a football-oriented GM isn't going to miss on his HC hire.
I honestly don't want to see this team dive into another 3-4 year build and crash like they've done with Herm, Mangini and now Rex.
So now Tanny isnt the problem since all these first rounders are on the roster, its how he manages it or are you referring to Rex? I'm pretty sure you want Rex fired but honestly, I cant follow anymore.
This place is confusing me lately. Tanny sucks and built a terrible team but Rex continues to win. But Rex sucks as a HC. Doesnt make a lot of sense.

When your team is 10-10 with no: QB, RB, #1 WR, or pass rusher.....probably a good a time as any to rebuild.

Location: wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time
People are complaining about a lack of talent, and a sh*t roster. I'm saying this team is filled with talent, many of them former first rounders. Talent doesn't mean as much as people think it does. The NFL is LOADED with talented athletes. Motivation is the differentiator.
It is Tannenbaum's job to find motivated and talented players. With the amount of busts that we've drafted and acquired from other teams, I'd say Tanny SUCKS at this aspect of his job. He might be able to pick a guy based on talent (strength, speed, etc) but he is awful at finding motivated guys. Hell, the most motivated guy that Tanny has brought here other than Revis is probably Woodhead and we know how that worked out.
It is Rex's job to steer the talent and motivation towards a purpose. Find a way to get every man to do their job, want to be the best at their job and work in unison. I think Rex gets through to some guys, and others walk all over him as he placates them - namely Sanchez and Holmes. Holmes walks all over Rex because he's a punk. Sanchez walks all over Rex in a more subtle way, he takes advantage of the fact that Rex is an enabler. Sanchez has been afforded ZERO threat of losing his job, and that has enabled him to curb any maturation that would have made him a legit NFL QB. Sanchez is just as green now as he was when he came to the league. At the end of the day, Rex doesn't do his primary job well. Yes, Rex reaches some of the guys and definitely can shine as a coordinator some weeks, but he's not a good head coach... and I want so bad for him to become one.
So no, I don't think I want Rex fired. I want him to be better at his job, like I do all these unlikeable players too. Tanny, he needs to be fired.

Rosen/Lauletta '18!
I do agree that if the season actually goes to sh*t ,and not just a couple of games, Tannenbaum should prooooobably be gone.
There was cause for him to be fired before the season even started.
A lot of people hated it, even those who supported Sanchez.
In fact, career wise, I thought it was a bad move by Sanchez. He would have been better served to go FA early and get a backup/understudy role with a team like the Saints or Packers where he could learn from top NFL QBs and real offensive coaches so that by the time Sanchez is in his late 30s he can get a good starting job for good money. Sanchez still only turns 26 in November.

Goldis Chami. UBCMJ 2012 3(2):29-30.
The global shortage of rural physicians is one that hits home for many people living in rural and remote areas of British Columbia. An aging Canadian population requiring more care, coupled with many rural physicians retiring, has put stress on healthcare systems which are already stretched to their limit. The result has been physician shortages in communities such as Burns Lake and Fort St. James, the latter having to temporarily close its hospital emergency room in March 2012, because while it previously had five physicians working in the town, it now only has one.
There are also programs in place to support existing rural physicians, since the demands of rural practice can sometimes make it difficult to take time off from work and can lead to burnout. In British Columbia, locum placement programs allow for rural family physicians and specialists to take time off from their practices for vacations, continuing medical education, or for personal reasons.
Motivated by research demonstrating that medical students who come from rural areas are more likely to return to rural and remote areas to practice,4,5 governments and medical schools have turned their focus to students to address the problem. The process of cultivating rural physicians has been termed the 'rural pipeline,6 and involves providing rural high school students with exposure to careers in medicine, recruiting, and admitting rural students to medical schools, and providing adequate exposure to rural practice opportunities during medical training.
As Canadian provinces and medical schools work together to roll out many of these initiatives, the question remains whether they will be effective. In many cases it is too early to tell, such as with high school outreach initiatives, which will only produce rural physicians many years down the line. Indeed, as Newbery states, "the issue of providing rural medical services is a complicated one, with many players and many perspectives" and schools and provinces alike can only hope that their efforts will pay off.

This paper presents a set of shape parameters giving an estimation of features for 3D objects, in particular bounded surfaces such as molecular island of self-assembled carbon chains on silicon, in order to classify them. These features are quantified both in 2D and 3D and concern an evaluation of the circularity degree or the fractal degree of the object boundary in 2D and a study of peak dispersion and height variations in 3D. The originality of this approach mainly lies in the way of estimating the isotropic and fractal degrees from the boundary of the surface and in the combination of different data, such as height or distance to the edges, for peak characterization. An application to small molecular islands of carbon, studied in nano-elec-tronics, is also presented, in order to illustrate the purpose and the efficiency of the previous shape parameters. This application also includes a new method of adaptive filtering, processed from distance maps.

Unoma Azuah's Embracing My Shadow, Nigeria's First Memoir About Being Lesbian, Forthcoming in March 2020 & Now Available for Pre-order
Unoma Azuah. Photo credit: Jose M. Osorio/Chicago Tribune.
Unoma Azuah, novelist, poet, academic, curator, and one of Nigeria's leading LGBTQ rights activists, has a new book, her third, coming on 1 March 2020: her debut memoir, to be published by Beaten Track. Titled Embracing My Shadow: Growing Up Lesbian in Nigeria, it will be Nigeria's first memoir about being lesbian.
Embracing My Shadow is the latest in a much-needed series of firsts in literature by queer Nigerians: Jude Dibia's novel Walking with Shadows (2005), focused on gay characters; Chinelo Okparanta's short story collection Happiness, Like Water (2013) and novel Under the Udala Trees (2015), focused on lesbian characters; Romeo Oriogun's poetry chapbook Burnt Men (2016), with a bisexual male voice; and Chike Frankie Edozien's memoir Lives of Great Men (2017), about being gay.
Here is a synopsis from its publisher:
Embracing My Shadow traces Unoma Azuah's challenging growth as a lesbian in Nigeria and how she navigated the paths of abuse, ethnic discrimination and homophobia in a hyper-religious and patriarchal Nigerian society. The struggles that dominated her growth as a girl with a nonstandard sexual orientation were further aggravated by the problems that came with being born of parents from two enemy camps. Her father was a Nigerian soldier, while her mother was an Igbo woman from defunct Biafra. Her parents' romance was discreet. However, their situation became complicated when her father kidnapped her mother and her family as the Nigerian-Biafra war raged on.
Despite striving and succeeding as a college student, Unoma's sexuality remained the shadow that continued to haunt her, especially as she was forced to undergo a series of Christian deliverances to exorcise her of the homosexuality demon. These issues defined her formative years, and escaping her trauma became a mission.
Embracing My Shadow, being the first Nigerian lesbian memoir, fills a crucial gap. It is a story of a real life experience, and it affirms the conflicts and voices of LGBTQI Nigerians who have been constantly told that their sexual orientation is un-African.
Embracing My Shadow has been praised by the academic Lindsey Green-Simms—
The long-awaited memoir from the acclaimed writer and LGBT activist Unoma Azuah is finally here, and it does not disappoint. Azuah's lucid and poignant prose makes achingly palpable the vicissitudes of anger, love, pain, and heartbreak she experiences growing up as a lesbian in Nigeria. She writes with tenderness and humor and joins the ranks of writers like Chike Frankie Edozien and Binyavanga Wainaina whose memoirs highlight the complex lives and humanity of queer Africans.
—and the poet David Ishaya Osu—
Mesmeric, moving and powerful. Embracing My Shadow is not just a personal narrative, Unoma has also written a manifesto for love, freedom, and bravery. This book is history on its own – and this will touch lives.
Unoma Azuah, who teaches writing at Wiregrass Georgia Technical College, Valdosta, GA, is the author of the novels Sky-High Flames and Edible Bones, which have been honoured with the Aidoo-Synder Book Award, the Spectrum Book Award, and the Hellman/Hammet Award, and editor of the anthologies Blessed Body: Secret Lives of the Nigerian LGBT and Mounting the Moon: Queer Nigerian Poetry.
Brittle Paper congratulates Unoma Azuah.

Nickelback March 12, 2009
1901 W Madison St
Since it rolled out of Alberta some 13 years ago, Nickelback has been hit-making, multi-platinum concern whose last album, 2005's All The Right Reasons is one of the most successful of the century, and has stoked great expectations for the quartet's sixth album, Dark Horse. A lesser group might rest on its proverbial laurels and assume the world is anxiously waiting for it, but Nickelback -- Chad Kroeger, his brother and bassist Mike Kroeger, guitarist Ryan Peake and drummer Daniel Adair -- still feel like a new album is a fresh opportunity to prove themselves.
Their latest, Dark Horse, is an 11-track survey of everything the group has done so well to this point -- fist-pumping anthems, grinding rockers, soaring power ballads, heart-wringing romanticism, choruses that stick in your ears after the first listen and hooks so big they practically boomerang through the songs.

Among Us is coming to Xbox consoles and Xbox Game Pass on December 14
Video Games Xbox Xbox Game Pass
Among Us was one of the biggest gaming phenomenons of 2020, and the game is finally coming to Xbox consoles on December 14. The social deduction game previously joined Xbox Game Pass for PC last year, and the Xbox version will also be available on Xbox Game Pass for Console on day one.
Following a quiet debut on iOS, Android, and Windows back in 2018, Among US is a great example of a small indie game that reached incredible momentum after being picked up by popular streamers on Twitch and YouTube. The game saw its popularity explode last year as the COVID-19 pandemic led more people to embrace multiplayer games, and Among Us was released on the Nintendo Switch back in December 2020.
It's great to see that Among Us is coming soon to Xbox consoles, but another gaming sensation from last year is also expected to make its Xbox debut in 2021: Fall Guys, the popular platform battle royale game now owned by Epic Games saw its Xbox and Switch release being delayed to after summer 2021, and it's still not clear if developer Mediatonic will be able to release it on these new platforms before the end of the year.

Michael Cohen's longtime business associate strikes deal to cooperate with investigators: Source
Evgeny Friedman is a Russian immigrant known as the "Taxi King."

A longtime business associate of President Trump's former personal attorney has agreed to cooperate with the government as part of a plea deal reached with prosecutors in New York, a source familiar with the agreement told ABC News.
Evgeny Friedman, 46, a Russian immigrant known as the "Taxi King," was chief executive of Taxiclub Management Inc. which managed a fleet of more than 800 cabs, including some controlled by Cohen and his wife. He was accused of failing to pay the state $5 million in surcharges on taxi rides and pleaded guilty in Albany County to a single count of tax fraud.
"The Taxi King admitted that he built his empire by stealing from New Yorkers," New York State Attorney General Barbara Underwood said. "Friedman pocketed money that should have provided much-needed investment in our transit system and he'll now have to pay back every cent."
His plea deal, announced Tuesday, requires Friedman to assist federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York who have been investigating Cohen's business practices and hush payments to women, the source said, as well as paying the $5 million owed to the state. Friedman was facing what would have amounted to a life sentence, the source said, but if he satisfies the terms of the agreement, he will receive just five years of probation.
In a statement to ABC News, Friedman expressed regret for his actions and sought to distance Cohen, who he described as a "dear, dear personal friend" from the scandal.
"I plead guilty to a felony, I am humbled and shamed!" Friedman said. "This is me taking responsibility for my actions! … Michael is a dear, dear personal friend and a passive client! That's it! This is a very difficult day for myself and my family! I had been an officer of the court in excess of 20 years and now I am a felon! I hate that I have been grouped in this runaway train that I am not a part of!"

While prosecutors declined to discuss with ABC News how Friedman is prepared to assist them in the criminal investigation of Cohen, they typically know in advance what a potential witness could offer in exchange for a reduced sentence. There is no specific mention of cooperation in a transcript of the plea hearing obtained by ABC News, but prosecutor Ben Clark mentioned "other factors known to the AG" in outlining the terms of the agreement.
"The Attorney General's office agrees that if the defendant fulfills these conditions, and taking into account all other factors known to the AG at the time of sentencing, we would recommend that he would receive a sentence of 5 years' probation."
Later in the hearing the judge warned that a violation of the agreement by Friedman would likely lead to a prison sentence of up to 3 to 9 years.
Legal experts agree that the terms of the deal appear to be very favorable for Friedman, suggesting that he agreed to provide something of significant value to prosecutors.
Kendall Coffey, a former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, said the terms of the deal appear to signify a substantial level of cooperation.
"A no jail time deal like this strongly suggests a level of cooperation significant enough to incriminate other significant subjects," he said. "And those who are prosecuted under New York State law, cannot be saved by a Presidential pardon."
Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, described it as a "very good deal" for Friedman that could prove a major headache for both Cohen and Trump.
"This defendant [Friedman] could potentially have a seismic impact on the president's case because he is a direct threat to Michael Cohen, who is direct threat to the president," he said.
Michael Volkov, a defense attorney at The Volkov Law Group, sounded a grim note on Cohen's legal prospects after the deal had been struck.
"The government now has a strong inside witness who can assist in explaining many of Cohen's business activities and potential fraud schemes, especially when it came to valuing the medallions for loan purposes," he said. "Cohen secured large loans with the medallions as collateral. As I have been saying, Cohen is a dead man walking and Friedman's plea puts Friedman in the role of undertaker."

Cohen's attorney, Stephen Ryan, did not immediately respond to questions about Friedman's plea, but in a Thursday morning Tweet, Cohen sought to distance himself from Friedman.
"I am one of thousands of medallion owners who entrust management companies to operate my medallions according to the rules of the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission," Cohen wrote. "Gene Freidman and I are not partners and have never been partners in this business or any other."
Friedman's attorney, Patrick Egan, declined to discuss whether Friedman's plea spells trouble for Cohen.
"I cannot comment on any speculation regarding what the entry of the plea indicates regarding any case other than my client's," he said.
In a text message to a reporter for the New York Daily News, Friedman denied he flipped on his friend in exchange for leniency.
"This is me taking responsibility for my actions and has nothing to do w/mc," Friedman wrote to the newspaper.

Should the NRSC Spend Any Time on Lautenberg?
by Stuart Rothenberg September 27, 2007 · 12:05 AM EDT
Twice within the past week I've seen or heard comments that Republicans may decide to take a shot at Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) next year, since his poll numbers suggest vulnerability.
While it's unquestionably true that the National Republican Senatorial Committee has few offensive opportunities in 2008 and is looking for states where it might put Democratic seats into play, the existing evidence simply isn't compelling that the committee should spend even a penny of its very limited resources in the Garden State.
If history is any guide, and it should be, New Jersey has become bluer over the past 20 years. The last Republican Senate victory in the state was in 1972, when moderate Clifford Case won a fourth term. The last GOP presidential victory was in 1988.
This cycle, the alleged evidence of Lautenberg's weakness comes from an Eagleton Institute poll conducted in early August. That survey showed Lautenberg with ID ratings of 38 percent favorable/24 percent unfavorable, and with job performance ratings that were worse, at 37 percent approve/32 percent disapprove.
By traditional standards, the Senator's "re-elect" ("Thinking about the job that Lautenberg has done as U.S. Senator, do you think he deserves to be re-elected, or do you think it's time for a change?") was horrendous: 24 percent said he deserves to be re-elected, and 61 percent responded that it's time for a change.
The first problem with using these poll numbers to conclude that Lautenberg is at significant risk is that New Jersey poll numbers almost always are deceiving. Incumbents invariably start their re-election campaigns with mediocre survey numbers because many state voters get much of their media from New York City or Philadelphia and aren't especially attuned to the activities of their own Senators.
In May of last year, only 20 percent of respondents in a Quinnipiac University poll said they had a favorable view of New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez (D), who had been appointed to the Senate seat and was carrying plenty of baggage during his first Senate race. Only 34 percent said they approved of Menendez's job performance.
When matched against his Republican challenger, Tom Kean Jr., Menendez was leading by only 6 points and was at just 40 percent of the vote, a dangerous place to be for any incumbent. Other polls during the first six months of the year showed Menendez actually trailing Kean.
In November, Menendez won by 9 points, 53 percent to 44 percent. And that was the best Republican showing in a New Jersey Senate election since 1994, the Republican tsunami year when challenger Chuck Haytaian drew 47 percent of the vote against Lautenberg.
Lautenberg's "re-elect" question is particularly misleading. Since voters hold Congress in such low regard and think the country is headed off on the wrong track, it isn't surprising that they say it's "time for a change" rather than that Lautenberg deserves to be re-elected. Since 36 percent of registered voters said they either had not heard of Lautenberg or had no opinion of him, it is easy for them to opt for change over continuity.
It's not unreasonable to wonder whether Lautenberg's age could be a problem for him, and the Eagleton survey asked split-sample questions about it. But again, the results are not exactly what they seem.
Half the sample was told that Lautenberg, the third-oldest member of the Senate, would be 84 years old at the start of his next term, while the other half was told that he would be 90 years old at the end of his term. Not surprisingly (and quite logically), more than six in 10 respondents said that he would not "be able to represent New Jersey effectively."
The only problem for Republicans is that the Eagleton survey question is, in all likelihood, not predictive and, like too many poll questions, misleading.
The age questions isolate a single factor, but that's not the way campaigns or elections work, or the way voters make their decisions. There are multiple messages going back and forth throughout a campaign, and in 2008, partisanship and the parties' images, Iraq, George W. Bush, health care and "change" are likely going to be more important than Frank Lautenberg's age.
Moreover, there is more than enough evidence that voters will re-elect older candidates, as long as they don't seem out of touch or act in such a way as to raise fundamental questions about their abilities. West Virginia voters just re-elected increasingly frail Sen. Robert Byrd (D) when he was just shy of his 89th birthday, while Hawaii voters re-elected Sen. Daniel Akaka (D) at age 82. South Carolina voters re-elected Sen. Strom Thurmond (R) when he was over 90 years old and clearly unable to perform his duties independently.
Lautenberg's age could become an issue, but it certainly is not guaranteed to become one or to threaten his re-election prospects, the Eagleton survey notwithstanding.
Finally, the national GOP's brand is badly damaged and the Garden State Republican Party's own vital signs are not good. Republicans have a very thin bench in the state, and it's far from clear that they can find a top-tier Senate nominee next year.
We won't know exactly where this race stands for months — until Republicans have a nominee and we see how the Iraq War stands. But whatever Lautenberg's present or future vulnerabilities, he's a Democrat running in a state and national political environment that favors Democrats. That gives Republicans no reason for even a shred of optimism.

Charles-Xavier Joseph de Franqueville d'Abancourt (* 4. Juli 1758 in Douai; † 9. September 1792 in Versailles) war vom 23. Juli bis 10. August 1792 der letzte Kriegsminister König Ludwigs XVI.

Leben

Jugend
Charles-Xavier Joseph d'Abancourt war der Sohn von Jacques Joseph Abancourt, königlicher Rat im Parlament von Flandern, und der Marie Charlotte de Pollinchove. Er trat schon als 15-Jähriger im Februar 1774 in die erste Kompanie der Musketiere der Garde ein und durchlief eine steile militärische Laufbahn. Anfang 1791 wurde er Rittmeister im 21. Regiment der (schweren) Kavallerie und am 6. November 1791 Oberstleutnant im 5. Regiment der Jäger zu Pferde in Nancy. Den Ideen der Französischen Revolution stand er aufgeschlossen gegenüber, war aber gegen eine Abschaffung der Monarchie.

Minister
Nach dem Rücktritt girondistischer Minister wurde eine aus gemäßigten Feuillants bestehende Regierung gebildet. Der Politiker Pierre August Lajard (1757–1837) schlug Ludwig XVI. in einem Brief vom 20. Juli 1792 d'Abancourt als geeigneten neuen Kriegsminister vor. Der König zögerte mit seiner Zustimmung, unter anderem unter Hinweis auf die nahe Verwandtschaft von d'Abancourt mit dem französischen Staatsmann Charles Alexandre de Calonne. Doch Lajard antwortete, dass d'Abancourt nur ein Vetter dritten Grades von Calonne sei. So wurde d'Abancourt am 23. Juli 1792, auch wegen seiner Ergebenheit gegenüber dem König, zum Kriegsminister ernannt. Er versicherte in einem am Tag darauf an den Präsidenten der Gesetzgebenden Nationalversammlung gerichteten Brief seine Treue zur Verfassung und betonte, dass er seine persönlichen Interessen zurückgestellt und die Lasten der großen Verantwortung seines neuen Amtes angesichts der dem Vaterland drohenden Gefahr gern übernommen habe. Allerdings sollte er nur 19 Tage als Minister amtieren.

Frankreich befand sich damals im Krieg mit Österreich und Preußen. D'Abancourt wollte die militärisch bedeutende, heute in Rheinland-Pfalz gelegene Stadt Germersheim erobern und ließ dazu über eine halbe Million Patronen in das Gebiet versenden. Den am 15. Juli 1792 ergangenen Befehl der Nationalversammlung, dass sich alle Truppen mehr als 30.000 Klafter von Paris entfernen müssten, hatte der Kommandant der Schweizergarde, Louis Augustin d'Affry, mit dem Argument beeinsprucht, dass das dem König dienende Regiment gemäß der Staatsverträge von 1763 und 1764 nur mit Zustimmung der Helvetischen Tagsatzung weggeschickt werden könnte. Diese Erwiderung griff d'Abancourt auf – wohl um weiterhin über eine Schutztruppe für den König zu verfügen – und verkündete der Nationalversammlung am 2. August, dass Ludwig XVI. den Abmarsch der ersten Abteilungen der Schweizer Garde widerrufen habe. Der Kriegsminister befahl aber am 9. August 1792 den 300 in Mantes befindlichen Schweizer Gardisten nicht, nach Paris zurückzukehren, sondern nach dem am Ärmelkanal gelegenen Dieppe zu ziehen, vermutlich um für den Notfall einen Fluchthafen für die Königsfamilie zu besitzen.

Gefangennahme und Tod
Während des Tuileriensturms am 10. August 1792 trat der Kriegsminister offenbar nicht besonders hervor. Dennoch bezichtigte der Politiker Jacques-Alexis Thuriot de la Rozière ihn noch am gleichen Tag, wider den Befehlen die Entfernung der Schweizer Garde verzögert zu haben und einer der Hauptschuldigen am Unglück dieses Tages zu sein. Gegen d'Abancourt wurde Anklage erhoben. Zusammen mit seinem wichtigsten Angestellten, Berthier, wurde er verhaftet und im Pariser Gefängnis Prison de la Force inhaftiert. Der Generalanwalt und Syndikus des Seine-Departements, Pierre-Louis Roederer, gab am 11. August die Verlegung des Gefangenen nach Orléans bekannt, wo er am nächsten Tag ankam und sich vor dem Kriegsgericht wegen Verrats an der Nation (lèse-nation) verantworten sollte.

Die Nationalversammlung befahl etwas später, dass d'Abancourt und weitere Gefangene von Orléans nach Saumur gebracht werden sollten. Doch der mit einem Trupp aus Paris angereiste begeisterte Anhänger der Revolution, Claude Fournier L'Héritier (1745–1825), genannt "der Amerikaner", widersetzte sich ihrer Überführung nach Saumur und ordnete stattdessen ihre Verbringung nach Paris an (4. September 1792), wo sie vor das Revolutionstribunal gestellt werden sollten. Am 7. September kam der Zug der Gefangenen in Étampes und am 8. September in Arpajon an. Offenbar sah d'Abancourt sein ihm bevorstehendes Schicksal schon kommen und regelte noch schriftlich seine letzten Angelegenheiten. Nach der Ankunft in Versailles erfuhr er von den Septembermassakern in Paris. In der Nähe der Orangerie wurden d'Abancourt und 43 seiner Mithäftlinge von einer aufgebrachten Menge erschlagen, nachdem sie von ihrem Begleitschutz getrennt worden waren; nur acht Gefangene konnten entkommen. Fournier war an diesem Verbrechen möglicherweise beteiligt. Die Mörder hieben ihren Opfern die Köpfe ab und spießten sie an den Gittertoren des Schlosses auf.

Christchurch housing remains affordable despite rising prices
8:19 am on 1 November 2021
Conan Young , Reporter
@ConanYoung1 conan.young@rnz.co.nz
After years of slow growth, property prices in Christchurch are all of a sudden surging ahead and fast catching up with the rest of the country.
Photo: RNZ / Claire Eastham-Farrelly
Figures from Quotable Value showed the Garden City out performing all of the major centres in the three months to the end of September, with prices up 7.7 percent.
So could Christchurch be about to lose its mantle as the country's most affordable city?
Richard Tait managed a Harcourts in the commuter town of Rolleston and said prices were rising faster than he had ever seen before.
"I saw one recently where a guy had paid $469,000 for it and I sold it in August the following year for $775,000. So there's a bit of a change."
And it appeared cashed up buyers from the North Island might be at least in part responsible for some of the eye watering sums being paid for what were once affordable homes.
Tait said some weeks up to 30 percent of the buyers he saw were from out of town.
"[There is] I think a certain impossibility of getting on the property market in Wellington, Auckland, Hamilton or Tauranga, so people are coming down here. I've got a guy in Tauranga who rang me today because he'd given up hope of buying in Tauranga and is now looking for a house down here."
And the growth was not just a one off, with QV showing prices were up by 5.8 percent in the three months to August as well.
The suburb of Linwood in the city's east had long been a place where first home buyers were able to get good value for money.
RNZ hit the streets to see if that was still the case and ran in to John Billingsley.
"My boy just paid $415,000 for a house that had a value of $330,000 [in December]. Now it's worth $525,000. And I know a lot that are heading south as well. A friend of mine's going to live in Timaru, another to Waimate and they're getting mansions for what they're selling their houses here for."
Economist Tony Alexander said there was no doubt out of town investors were now attracted to Christchurch where prices were still only half what they were in Auckland and Wellington, and where they could achieve much better rental yields.
"And I think especially young people finding property unaffordable in the other major cities realising they can shift down to Christchurch and still have good work, good incomes, be on the corporate career ladder, and buy a more affordable property."
But an economist with the council run development agency Christchurch NZ, Jorge Chang Urrea, said the city wasn't ready to completely relinquish its title as the most affordable place in the country just yet.
"For example in greater Christchurch and Canterbury, approximately 18 percent of people's income goes into their mortgage and the Auckland region it's almost 40 percent. So if you take into consideration income as well, Christchurch is still the most affordable city."
Crucially new homes were still being built in Christchurch, with consents up 67 percent on last year, meaning supply would very soon catch up with demand and take some of the heat out of the market, he said.
Tony Alexander was also of the view that prices were not about to get completely out of hand, mostly due to the impact of rising interest rates between now and the middle of next year.

It's my 2nd project that is made up of leftover yarn. And it's a project I'm happy with! Not only did it use up the 3/4 a ball of yarn leftover from the bolero I made earlier this month, but it also let me practice continental knitting - one of my new years knitting resolutions from this year! (and last year...).
That's one good thing about doing a simple project like this. It knits up fast, and I can try out different techniques without getting frustrated.
Look at me pretending it's cold enough outside to warrant this. Ha. It's not necessary now, but I think the next time I'm in a winter climate, something like this will be a) cute with a winter jacket and b) useful.
Until then, I'm just happy I used up the yarn. I recently found out I got that yarn on sale because it's actually been discontinued. Good thing I didn't start a project and then find out I needed more yarn! So all in all, although it's sort of a boring project, I'd call it a success.

Q: How can I open external links in safari.app from UIWebView? I want to request external links in safari.app. Unfortunately it doesn't work. I have tried all codes from How can I open an external link in Safari not the app's UIWebView? but they all doesn't work in my code.
Have you any ideas? Where is my mistake? Thank you for help!
Here's my Code:
#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [self.iPhoneWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.example.com"]]];
    [self.iPadWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.example.com"]]];

}

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {

    //  open External Links (not beginning with http://www.example.com in Safari.app
    if (
        (navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked) &&
        ( ![[[request URL] absoluteString] hasPrefix:@"http://www.example.com"])
        ) {

        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:request.URL];
        return NO;
    }

    //open Internal links in uiwebview
    return YES;
}

- (void)displayActivityControllerWithDataObject:(id)obj {
    UIActivityViewController* vc = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]
                                    initWithActivityItems:@[obj] applicationActivities:nil];
    [self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
}

- (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
    // starting the load, show the activity indicator in the status bar
    [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
}

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
    // finished loading, hide the activity indicator in the status bar
    [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
}

- (void)webView:(UIWebView *)webView didFailLoadWithError:(NSError *)error
{
    // load error, hide the activity indicator in the status bar
    [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;

    // report the error inside the webview
    NSString* errorString = [NSString stringWithFormat:
                             @"Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten
%@",
                             error.localizedDescription];
    [self.iPhoneWebView loadHTMLString:errorString baseURL:nil];
}

@end

A: Set the delegate of your webview to self, dont forget !
This works for me :
-(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)inWeb shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)inType {
    if ( inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked ) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[inRequest URL]];
        return NO;
    }

    return YES;
}
