the most influential in childs life. Throughout history, playwrights have composed pieces containing the impressionable relationship of a parent and a child. The parent has to realise the situation that any child is put in, has to think back and remember what it was like to be young, under the pressure of one's parents. Communication is the key to a successful relationship. I was wondering if someone could read my essay on the characteristics of a Role Model Parent and critique.

Read this full essay on The Importance of Parent-Child Relationships. Children are often wrongly blamed for their wrongdoings. Most issues that arise with. Parent-Child Relationships The topic I have chosen for my paper is that of relationship between parents and children.
Parents have to make sure they have a positive relationship with their kids if they want them to be successful. Without a parent the childs ability to do right fail and they end up looking for that guidance in the wrong groups such as gangs or groups doing drugs. When I was younger, scraped knees were a daily thing and whenever that happened I would always run to the most important person in my life for help: my mom. This leads the way to successful communication. We're both smart-alecky loners with goofy projects and weird equipment" (159). Children who receive individualized attention from their parents have a sense of contentment because they feel significant to their parent. Moreover does a person have to be biologically related to be a parent to a child, and does it affect the relationship to a childs understanding.

She's Not Important
Evie didn't answer Amy's question, choosing instead to keep walking, battling with the information whirling around her mind. The words the Ood had used had changed; it was no longer time for her to find out, it was time for her to remember. But remember what?
"Evie!" Amy hissed grabbing her arm and pulling her back out of sight. They'd caught up with the Doctor and his new acquaintance on the bank of a river. Peeking out from behind the trees, Evie watched the scene with confusion.
The girl looked just like her, but different. Looking at her made the teenager's head burn with searing, white hot pain. Amy's eyes were fixed on the exchange in front of them and she didn't notice her friend holding her head with her eyes closed tightly. The female stranger had thrown the Doctor's new hat into the river and he was staring at it in outrage.
"Sorry… but it just had to be done." She said with the hint of a slight laugh in her voice. Evie managed to open her eyes now that the pain had receded slightly. The girl was looking at something on her left wrist and the Doctor was looking at the girl.
"Why can't you tell me?" he was demanding. There had obviously been an answer, because the next thing Amy and Evie heard was the Doctor's angry voice. "Classified by who?"
"Classified by me. And seriously, if you don't shut up and let me concentrate then I will have to shut you up, Doctor or no Doctor. Because if we're late… I'm seriously blaming you." The female exclaimed loudly, exasperation clear in her voice.
"She sounds just like –" Amy started, turning to look at her friend who had slumped to the ground holding her head in her hands.
"Me." Evie whispered, finishing her sentence.
Amy had dropped down beside her and placed a hand either side of Evie's face. "Right… I don't care whether he goes mad I'm going to get the Doctor."
"Evie… no offence but you look terrible." The red-head said not bothering to be tactful. Evie smirked slightly, feeling as though she was being stabbed in the head.
"Yeah… thanks, offence taken. But you can't let him know we're here. Besides, look…" She pointed and saw that the Doctor and his companion had crossed the river now and were looking expectantly around.
"Well tough!" Amy stood up and ran from their hiding place, waving her arms and calling to the Doctor.
"What are you doing here?" He demanded annoyed. "I told you to stay with Evie."
The girl beside him turned and shot him a curious look. Then she turned and waved at the red-head, beaming widely at her. Amy got the strangest feeling that she knew her and twitched as her natural instinct was to wave back.
"Alright, Ames?" The girl shouted. Amy noticed that there was a strange look on her face as she watched her. It was somewhere between relief and hope. The girl seemed to be trying to work something out quickly in her head. Her mouth twitched, as though she'd been about to say something but quickly stopped herself, looking away hurriedly.
"I did stay with Evie… when she ran out of the TARDIS and followed you." Amy explained, ignoring the question, before fixing her eyes on the dark-haired girl at the Doctor's side. "Who's she?"
"Oh… she's not important." He said flippantly.
"Thanks!" The girl exclaimed, punching him on the arm. The Doctor made a face, rubbing the spot she'd hit and stepped towards Amy.
"Where's Evie. Is she alright?"
"No… there's something really wrong. She's just over there." Amy pointed.
"Bring her closer." He ordered. "Bring her right to the edge of the river and I can check her over."
Doing as she was told, the young woman helped her friend towards the river, supporting her weight almost completely. It was almost as if the life was draining out of Evie in front of Amy's eyes. The girl beside the Doctor clapped her hands over her mouth as she saw the girl being carried closer to her.
Evie's eyes snapped open as she got close enough. She looked at the stranger, their gaze meeting. Her mind was suddenly full of new memories, new information. All the muddled thoughts in her mind were settling back into their rightful places. Suddenly everything was clear; she was remembering.
By the look on the other Evie's face she, too, was seeing a whole new range of pictures and information in her head. They stood, staring into each other's eyes, while Amy and the Doctor watched uneasily. Something was clearly happening between them but not even the Time Lord understood what it was.
A final picture rested in both their minds, as though it was telling them what to do. The picture from the newspaper, all those months ago, stared at them. A photo of something that hadn't even happened yet as they stood on the river banks looking at each other. Breaking the connection, the Evie standing with Amy looked down at herself. She was wearing the outfit from the photograph. Suddenly she knew what had to be done.
"Do it." She urged the other Evie hastily. "You have to. 20:02, remember. You have to do this."
"I-I can't." She whispered in reply. Shaking her head violently she closed her eyes not wanting to think about the thing she knew she had to do. She'd been trained for this. It had been explained to her over and over again. She knew what was supposed to happen.
"Evie… you have to, remember." Breathlessly, Evie suddenly made sense of the Ood's message. He didn't want her to remember something specific, he wanted her to remind her other self that what was about to happen needed to be done. "If you don't do it now it'll happen again." Evie warned, glaring at the girl across the river. A stabbing pain ripped through her stomach, causing her to stagger slightly. Amy moved towards her, but Evie pushed her away. "And I can't do it again."
"I'm sorry." The girl said, drawing her laser blaster quickly from its holster and aiming it directly at Evie. Her face was set in a grim mask of determination. The eyes that were fixed on the face in front of her were cold and emotionless. When she spoke, her voice was similarly devoid of feeling. "Goodbye, Evie Jones."
"Goodbye."
Evie pulled the trigger. A jet of bright red light emerged from the barrel and hit her other self directly in the chest. She lurched back, before hitting the ground. Amy bent over her, screaming. The teenager opened her eyes weakly and shot her a wink. She tried to smirk, before a deep shudder passed through her body as the last bit of life left her.
What just happened? o_O Evie's dead? Again?

I enjoy Christopher Moore's books. Despite the fact he won't own up to his writing fantasy, all of his books have wonderfully fantastical elements, from horny sea monsters to loser vampires to crazy whale boys to the best friend of the son of god, they're all fun, entertaining reads.
Recently, he's actually started to get a bit of depth into his work. Sure, they're still full of "bad" language and scatological humor, but there's also something else going on. With Fool and The Serpent of Venice (which I reviewed here) he was retelling Shakespeare (he also had a brief flirtation with Hamlet in Island of the Sequined Love Nun) and, Sacre Bleu, while still a fantasy, probably had less of the 5th grade humor his books had been known for and was an actual, honest to goodness, grown up book. It was still funny, but it's a more sophisticated humor.
Which is why Secondhand Souls feels like the fifth grader has been locked up in a dark room and broke free just to write this book, a sequel, of sorts, to 2006's A Dirty Job. I say "sort of" because it really feels like a continuation of the same story, and yet with enough retelling of what happened in the last book to make reading superfluous if you happened to read this one first. I understand you need to bring readers up to speed, but at times it gets a bit exposition heavy.
The plot again involves death merchants, the folks who are assigned by "The Big D" to gather the soul vessels of the recently departed (the object in which their soul has been transferred for safe keeping) and redistribute them to a new body, and in this way perpetuate the Buddhist cycle of rebirth until they are able to reach enlightenment. All the main characters are back from the first book along with a couple of new people, whose plot purposes seems a bit too on the nose for Moore's purposes (as an example, the reader is able to figure out key points long before the character does).
At the same time, Sophie, the 7-year-old personification of Death, curses like a sailor. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the clumsy way Moore handles it, her language feels like the author putting words in her mouth rather than them being an organic consequence. It's like Moore is giving us every Internet video of a child cursing in order to show how clever and hip he is and after a while, it just gets boring and repetitive. At the end of the day, he's reaching for low hanging fruit and honestly, we've come to expect more from him in that regard.
Then there's the whole shared universe thing. True, he's been doing it for a while, but searching for connections between characters from different books is getting to be a bit of a tired thing. When someone can publish an essay on how all of Adam Sandler's characters are related (and no, I'm not linking) you know the shared universe concept has kinda run its course.
As I listened to this book, rather than read it, I must point out that Fisher Stevens is a fantastic narrator. He absolutely inhabits the characters and brings them, individually, to life. A rare feat considering there are some scenes with seven or eight speaking parts.
As it stands, I'm still a fan, and patiently waiting for the next book. Because even when he's not as good as usual, he's still better than 90% of what else is out there.

Q: Exception with .htaccess (image broken) I'm using:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?abrir=$1
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ index.php?abrir=$1&id=$2&pagina=$3

and I have the image link:

/data_livro/capa_livro/af58e898f91509b.jpg

How I can add a exception for show the image? Its broke...
My full .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ index.php?abrir=$1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?abrir=$1&id=$2&pagina=$3

RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [NC,F,L]

ErrorDocument 400 index.php
ErrorDocument 401 index.php
ErrorDocument 403 index.php
ErrorDocument 404 index.php
ErrorDocument 504 index.php
ErrorDocument 505 index.php
DirectoryIndex index.php

A: If I'm understanding this correctly, ading the following ahead of your RewriteRules should solve the problem:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

However, I'd also suggest modifying your RewriteRules to look like:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ index.php?abrir=$1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?abrir=$1&id=$2&pagina=$3

A: I find that using .* in a rewrite rule is too general.  I tend to use more specific character classes:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?abrir=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?abrir=$1&id=$2&pagina=$3

This doesn't rewrite any request with a dot in it, so specific file names (/styles/my.css, /images/example.jpg) get ignored.  Also, I like to add /? to allow an optional trailing slash, but that's a personal preference :-).

Houston to Gain New Direct Flights on Turkish Airlines in 2013 to Istanbul
HOUSTON, PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Houston Mayor Annise Parker announces new non-stop flights to Istanbul beginning April 1, 2013, operated by Turkish Airlines between George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Istanbul's Ataturk International Airport (IST). "Houston's strong business connections with Turkey created the opportunity to attract this foreign flag airline to our city," said Mayor Parker. "Houston has become the gateway to the world. Our global business structure helps our economy thrive and our job market remains the envy of the nation. These four new weekly flights will surely lead to increased economic opportunity for both Istanbul and Houston."
Turkish Airlines will operate the new route with a Boeing 777-300ER, which seats up to 334 passengers. Based at Ataturk International Airport, Turkish Airlines serves more than 190 destinations and carries 33 million passengers. The Turkish Consulate General in Houston and a number of Houston community organizations worked closely with the Houston Airport System to attract this new direct air service by Turkish Airlines, including the Texas Turkish American Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Houston Partnership and the Greater Houston Convention & Visitors Bureau. Turkish Economy Minister Zafer Caglayan's support was also instrumental in promoting the opportunity for this flight. "The Istanbul direct flights operated by Turkish Airlines will be essential in our endeavors to further develop relations at all levels and fields in business, trade and investment relations between Turkey and Texas," said Turkish Consul General Cemalettin Aydin. The addition of this new international direct flight will provide a meaningful economic boost to the Greater Houston region. Turkey remains a fast growing and emerging business and leisure economy with a strong cultural link to Houston. "The total Houston to Turkey trade value in 2011 was $3.6 billion," said Celil Yaka, President of Texas Turkish American Chamber of Commerce. "We anticipate this trade will continue to grow significantly thanks to this new flight.""The Houston Airport System exists to connect people, businesses, cultures and economies of the world to Houston," said Mario Diaz, Director of the Houston Airport System. "This flight will open up more convenient travel options to both Turkey and beyond points, in particular, those in South/Central Asia and Africa." Flight Schedule: The new service will operate four days per week with flights on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Departure from Houston at 7:50 p.m. local time and arrival in Istanbul at 3:55 p.m. local time. Departure from Istanbul at 1:05 p.m. local time and arrival in Houston at 6:05 p.m. local time. The flights are currently available in the Turkish Airlines reservation system at http://www.turkishairlines.com . Turkish Airlines is a member of the Star Alliance, which is the dominant airline network at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston as the largest hub for the Star Alliance.

SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: ABIGAIL LAPELL - GETAWAY
SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: WITHIN TEMPTATION - RESIST
SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: GUIDED BY VOICES – ZEPPELIN OVER CHINA
Zeppelin Over China
Rockathon Records
It seems like a wonderful time to be a Guided by Voices fan. Since 2016, kingpin Robert Pollard has been joined by longtime members Doug Gillard and Kevin March, alongside relative newcomers in terms of the band's chronology, Mark Shue and Bobby Bare Jr. They tour regularly, don't appear to hate one another, and (aided by engineer Travis Harrison) consistently release new material to well-deserved acclaim. With the release of Zeppelin Over China, the band's fourth album in three years, has Guided by Voices entered its Renaissance period?
Consisting of 32 tracks, Zeppelin Over China offers the same bang-for-your-buck ambition displayed on August by Cake, the debut of the band's current lineup. The scale of the latest effort is dizzying, and the fact that such diversity of sound can be realized is a testament to the strength of Pollard's team, and the level of trust he places in them. It would be easy to get lost in the wide range of styles, but the measured sequencing ensures that the whole thing sounds smooth rather than sprawling. As a result, stripped-back beauties such as "Bellicose Starling" and "Everything's Thrilling" do not feel out of place following the episodic, three-minute rock operas, "You Own The Night" and "Jack Tell". We are treated to a number of ambitious arrangements that expand beyond the usual weave of guitar, bass, and drums. The strings on "The Rally Boys" turn an already-triumphant song into something more majestic, and everything is thrown into the closer "Vertiginous Raft" to make sure that the listener is left pinned to the wall. Pollard's vocal performance is particularly impressive throughout, with the one-two punch of "The Hearing Department" and "Questions of the Test" perfectly demonstrating his ability to move from tender melancholy to dreamy faux-English prog.
Zeppelin Over China is an album of contradictions. Its length is both a curse and a blessing; though initially overwhelming to digest, the album becomes an absolute treasure trove once you've strapped yourself in for a couple of listens. It is somehow surprising that a release from an artist with over 100 albums to their name can sound so inventive and new, but at the same time, it's completely unsurprising and outright expected when that artist is Robert Pollard.

This Luminor Submersible 1950 model from Panerai watches is presented in a 47mm titanium case and is equipped with an automatic calibre - P.9100 - to keep the flyback chronograph functions, the hours, minutes, small seconds, date, calculation of immersion time, and seconds, reset in perfect synch for 72 hours. Panerai was a top Italian military secret until a couple of decades ago and is today one of the most desirable watch brands thanks to its military-inspired, rugged, oversized and powerfully luminous men's watches marked by outstanding Italian design and Swiss movements. The Luminor watch was Panerai's second professional military dive watch made in 1950, and distinguished itself from the Radiomir watch by its large crown-protecting bridge with a lever to increase its waterproof properties. Naturally the Luminor Submersible is water-resistant to 300 metres and glows in the dark with Grade A non-toxic SuperLumiNova applications. For fanatics of Panerai's history, the caseback is engraved with frogmen commandos astride their sumbersible torpedo.

Q: Enable userpass in vault Docker I have the following docker-compose for Vault
vault:
  container_name: vault
  hostname: vault
  image: vault:1.0.0
  restart: always
  ports:
    - "8200:8200"
  cap_add:
    - IPC_LOCK
  environment:
    VAULT_ADDR: http://127.0.0.1:8200
    VAULT_DEV_ROOT_TOKEN_ID: my_token

I can connect to it using hvac python client like so:
hvac.Client(url='http://localhost:8200', token='my_token')

However, I'd like to connect using the username and password. My question is, how can I spin the Vault docker container with enabled userpass and some user I can then use?
Basically, would like to get this working:
hvac_client = hvac.Client(url="http://localhost:8200")
hvac_client.auth_userpass(username="myusername", password="mypassword")

These are the commands I should(?) to run somehow using docker-compose after the image spins up:
vault auth enable userpass
vault write auth/userpass/users/myusername password=mypassword policies=vault-quickstart-policy

But not sure how. This is the official image I am using https://github.com/hashicorp/docker-vault

A: This is a large subject to cover. You have to be careful not to leak passwords in any config you write.
This post explains a way to provision vault and has a handy GitHub repo behind it to fork and configure

This post discusses techniques for capturing your Vault policies and
  configurations in source control, providing repeatable workflows,
  continuous integration of policy testing, and much more.

A: In case it is for integration testing, it's ok to do it with a provision script that uses vault cli.
You can run it after your container has started.
Use the healthcheck of your container or its status to know if it has started,
then run a docker exec command or an exec statement in your docker-compose file to run your script that will do the necessary to activate your authentication method


The book is finished; I broke it up into two. Although I didn't want to, if I want to get published, sacrifices will have to be made. So I broke it up. It's been edited as much as it can be, spell check and grammar checked as much as it could be, that part is done and out of my hands. Now, it's the rejection part. Not really worried about the rejection part of it, as I half expect it. It's the, what happens if their interested part that gets my nerves going.
I've sent over 50 query letters already, and have gotten back about nine, as of writing this. I think I'll post the Query Letter here, in hopes of catching a lucky break. Only concern I'd have is being scammed. Apparently there's enough of that out there, to warrant warning by literary websites. Oh good, cant make this to easy, can we?
I started on book three, now, since one broke into two. Confusing I know, you should see my notes on all of it. Phew. Glad I can read and understand my ramblings. Book three is pretty much outlined a plot chosen, and what I want to accomplish written down. It is also half way done. So the rest shouldn't be hard. It's the actually getting to sit and do it, becomes the problem now. I did manage to work on it on vacation, which is what I wanted to do, so that's good. Unfortunately the mosquitoes became such a nuisance, I quickly lost my desire to work on it where I could relax and let the words flow. So I didn't work on it as much as I would have liked.
So there you have it. Progress. And I'm at least keeping up with updating here, which is also good. I kept that goal up. Half way through the year. Will I get an agent before the end? Let's see what happens down the road.
In a world that despises magic and discriminates openly against those who are born with the ability to control it suddenly find they are going to need to change. A war that has raged for nearly a century may have found their only saviors in a rag tag group of friends with unique abilities. As told in 86,000 words.
Tiger's father is killed, leaving him wanting swift revenge. When he decides to leave his home and travel the roads near the city he was raised in, he crosses paths with a woman who changes the very way he sees people and discovers a sword with a mysterious past. As they return to his childhood home, they agree to set out on a path that could end the war that has taken not only his father, but her parents. Along the way they gather new friends, all of whom see Tiger become a leader, forged in battle. With an elf, a bird that resembles a dragon, and an orphaned princess, they begin to set things right around the world. One city, after another is left a better place to live.
I currently write for my website, as well as post reviews for a few other websites.

The gavel waiting for the close of CRIC 13
The third and final day of CRIC 13 began on Friday morning, 27 March 2015. Delegates reviewed the draft report of the session, including the conclusions and recommendations, which had been drafted by the Extended Bureau on the basis of the discussions on the first two days of CRIC 13. Following the adoption of the report on Friday afternoon, spokespersons for each Regional Implementation Annex, other delegates and the UNCCD Executive Secretary offered closing remarks.
Portugal, for the Annex IV affected country Parties, emphasized the Convention's job in ensuring that land is respected and protected, and highlighted the need to adapt to the swift changes that are coming this year to the international environmental agenda. Armenia, for the Central and Eastern European countries, highlighted the constructive discussions that took place during the regional consultations immediately prior to CRIC 13. He said key decisions on the agenda for COP 12 include those regarding the role of the Convention, the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals, and establishing voluntary country targets for land degradation neutrality. Thailand, for the Asian countries in Annex II, acknowledged the hard work of the Secretariat in organizing the meeting and trying to help the Convention move forward in an efficient way. South Africa, for the African country Parties in Annex I, said all Parties should follow due process when putting forward ideas to the COP, to provide Parties with adequate time to prepare to engage in discussions on those proposals. Colombia, for the Latin America and Caribbean Parties in Annex III, thanked the Executive Secretary, Secretariat and Chair for their work during CRIC 13, and reiterated his group's commitment to the Convention and its importance. The EU emphasized the need to increase the efficiency of the review process and to move from a process-oriented to a substantive focus, and said, if approved by the next COP, land degradation neutrality could become a real focus for the Convention from 2016-2030. Tanzania congratulated the Executive Secretary for "showing the leadership we want to see in the Convention." CSOs said NAPs and the NAP alignment process is important, but implementation is more important.
UNCCD Executive Secretary Barbut said the Secretariat would devote care and attention to the CRIC's recommendations, and said the Convention needs to be a force for progress. Barbut thanked Vice-Chair Richard Mwendandu, Kenya, for chairing CRIC 13 after CRIC Chair Philbert Brown, Jamaica, fell ill. Mwendandu thanked Barbut and the Secretariat for their support, and encouraged delegates to translate the CRIC's discussions into action when they returned home. He declared the meeting closed at 4:49 pm.

As the old real estate saw goes, location is everything. And sometimes, one's 500-year-old mansion is simply in the wrong spot ... and one must move said mansion, brick-by-brick, to a more desirable address 70 miles away.
Wealthy antiquarian Walter Thornton-Smith wanted to uproot the mansion from the banks of the river Colne near Chelmsford and re-build it in Kingston-on-Thames on the other side of London.
He had the house, Cedar Court, which was originally built in 1483, moved brick by brick to Kingston where it was put back together again on a piece of land he'd purchased near Coombe Hill golf course.
The 12 bedroom, nine bathroom house had seen many changed over the centuries, even serving as a pub and a furniture store before he bought it for £350 in 1910 and then spent £30,000 dismantling and re-building it in Kingston by 1912.
Every part of the building was sectioned out and numbered so that it could be stuck back together again exactly as it was after its trip across the capital.

Q: Accounting software for a USA based small tech company I just registered my .com business as an LLC.
Which means I need to start paying taxes and do real accounting.
I have an MSDN license so I have access to all Microsoft software.
however it looks like they don't offer a Quickbooks style software app.
Do they?
I need something will a small learning curve as I only have one employee, myself, and simple expenses.
thanks for your advice!

A: You could try Intuit quickbooks and thier online payroll software. I've never used either, but they are popular. They are compatible with most tax software.

A: You might still be able to download and use Microsoft's Account Express 2009. It's no longer being developed, but it was a stable product and useful. They stopped developing it because of tools like Intuit and even Excel Spreedsheets were found to be just as useful.
Hope this helps some, and good luck with your company.

"I asked him to come to LVC… I didn't think he would get security clearance so quickly," Roy is starting to feel guilty about his absence.
"I am on my way back to Houston," he tells Braden.
After a few minutes of texting back and forth with the NSA, some of which is sorting the known facts from the suppositions, Roy makes his best judgment call.
"I heard your end of the conversation, just go," Francine can tell that their fairy tale has come to a screeching halt.


Alkenly O. had a dream, and like everything else he does, he began to plan for it. As a young child in the DR he knew what he wanted to do and how he wanted to achieve it. He wanted to become an architect and design and build homes for those less fortunate.
At the age of 10 he immigrated to Lawrence, MA and threw himself into his studies and though he could barely read English he earned straight A's in Math. "You're the living example that math is universal, that you do not need to know English to be able to learn Math," his teacher, Mrs. Montano explained. Alkenly began to plan. First off he had to master English, which he did working day and night, reading and writing until he was caught up.
He applied to a private school and was accepted with financial aid. His plans to become an Architect and someday own his own company looked as if they may be in reach. But alas not all plans work out according to schedule. He wasn't old enough to attend the school.
He chose carpentry as his shop class thinking it was the most direct route to architecture. He and fellow students built a house from the ground up on Margin Street in Lawrence. "I think this experience is a fundamental introduction into architecture, because I now know things that only juniors in college are starting to know," Alkenly said.
Alkenly joined the swim team though he had never swum competitively and freshman year set a personal best for the 50 yd freestyle. That spring he picked up tennis racket for the first time and made the team. By sophomore year he had taken up golf and was a CAC all-star in tennis. Senior year he was recognized for his leadership and captained both the swim and tennis teams. It may be tempting to think that things just come easy for this bright young man but not so. He works hard. He is persistent and proud of it.
He credits being a student athlete for his career of academic excellence. He has consistently earned straight A's and is a member of the National Honor Society. Spending so much time on sports forced him to become more focused and organized with his academics. Alkenly says it taught him to be more creative with his time.
"My experience at GLTS has literally blown away my expectations, and has changed my life," he says. "I would not be where I am without this school." And without his favorite teacher, Mr. Cyr, a GLTS English teacher who told Alkenly to be persistent and to dream – that no dream is ever too small or too big.
Alkenly's younger brother, Saviel, is a freshman at GLTS. His advice to his brother was "to do better than me." Saviel beat his brother's 50 yd freestyle record and became the most improved swimmer on the freshman swim team. Since then Alkenly has broken all CAC records and set the bar higher for everyone again.

HomeArts & EntertainmentLori Loughlin's Canada Trip Sparks 'When Calls the Heart' Rumors
Lori Loughlin's Canada Trip Sparks 'When Calls the Heart' Rumors
Coverage By Charli Weaver
Crown Media
Lori Loughlin on When Calls the Heart.
Lori Loughlin just got permission to travel to Canada, and fans are wondering if this could be a sign that she's going to return to Hallmark's "When Calls the Heart" for season 9.
Loughlin Received Permission to Travel to Canada for a Film Production
Loughlin just received permission from a federal judge to travel to Canada for a film production, The Mercury News reported. A probation official sent in her request, which said that she was "being offered a filming production project" and that "Ms. Loughlin anticipates she will be traveling for about one week."
She was given expedited permission for the trip, which will take place later in September or early in October. However, the request does not indicate what the project is for or who she will be working with.
Boston Globe reported that the request was sent in by probation officer Chrissy Murphy, who wrote: "[Loughlin seeks to travel to Canada] for work-related purposes in anticipation of being offered a filming production project… The exact dates and location of travel are unknown at this time. However, Ms. Loughlin anticipates that she will be traveling for about one week at the end of September or beginning of October."
Loughlin served two months in jail and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, served five months. Loughlin is now on supervised release and must get the permission of a probation officer before traveling anywhere outside where she lives in California, The Mercury News reported.
Loughlin already traveled to Mexico in June with her husband for a vacation, after receiving permission to leave the country.
With "Fuller House" now over, the only series Loughlin was part of that's still ongoing is "When Calls the House." However, Loughlin might also be traveling for a different project, such as a movie. However, "When Calls the Heart" is currently filming season 9 in Canada, so the location and timing would both work out.
'When Calls the Heart' Left the Storyline Open for Her Character's Return
In season 8, "When Calls the Heart" clearly left the storyline open for Abigail to return any time. Her character was brought up multiple times, including when Henry revealed that he and Abigail were still exchanging letters constantly. Then when Henry left Hope Valley at the end of season 8, the character made a strong hint that he was going in search of Abigail.
In an interview with ET Canada, Erin Krakow — who portrays Abigail's friend Elizabeth — talked about how much she'd like to see Loughlin return to the series. When asked if there was a chance that Abigail might come back in a future season, Krakow said:
From your lips to God's ears. I truly, truly hope so. It would make me so happy to see Abigail back in Hope Valley. And I think there are still a lot of really beautiful stories for her character to get to tell. I would welcome her back with open arms. So let's hope.
She also tweeted that she also still ships an Abigail-Henry romance.
Brian Bird, the show's co-creator and executive producer, said he would welcome back Loughlin.
In a September 2020 interview with the Hearties Hotline Podcast, Bird said: "You know I've been praying for the best outcome possible for her and her family. Not just the most merciful one, but the most just one as well… We all make mistakes."
He also said they had no choice but to remove her in season 6, but it was painful to do.
"It was painful for us to do this because we love Lori," he said. "We only want to see the best for her. And Hope Valley is a place of second chances."
However, in a more recent interview, Bird said it would be difficult to get her back.
In an interview with Charisma Podcast Network's Greenelines podcast and host Dr. Steve Greene, Bird said:
I personally would love nothing more than that happening in Hope Valley. Whether or not we can do it is another question. There's a lot of moving parts to that decision. There's a lot of other stakeholders besides me who would have to say yes to that. So I can't say with certainty that we can pull that off. I hope we can, but I can't say that we can actually pull it off.

Do I need to replace the clay flue tiles before installing a TOP-Rigid Liner?
No, our liners are made to replace the clay flue tiles. They will protect your chimney better from heat loss or gain and reduce your chance of having a chimney fire. And with proper cleaning & maintenance you should never have to replace it again!
What do I use to attach the Rigid Liner together?
Our TOP-Rigid have male/female ends, so the bottom of each piece will slip into the top of the next rigid section. Then secure each section together with 316 rivets.
What if I have to stack or attach two tees together because I have 2 appliances to hook-up?
You will need to order two "OD" 2-Part Tees. The bottom of the first tee will slide right into the top of second tee.
Can I use a TOP "Top Kit" with Rigid Liner?
No, it will not support the rigid pipe. You will need a Top Plate, Top Support Clamp, Storm Collar and either a Rain Cap to attach to the rigid pipe or a Single Flue or Multi-Flue Cap to prevent rain/snow, critters, & more from entering your liner/chimney.


Looking out of my study window on this bright, frosty morning, beyond our big boundary hedge, are three or four Blackthorn bushes, covered in white blossom, sparkling in the sun.
Our Blackbird nesting in the clematis to the right of the kitchen window is sitting tightly and suddenly wildlife everywhere is feeling the pull of the change of season from winter to spring.
Last Friday, the field across the river was covered with Redwings. They are exquisite birds belonging to the Thrush family. They have a distinctive white stripe over the eye and another running from their beak to just below their eye. On the upper side of their flanks they have a gorgeous patch of rusty-red feathers which extends into the feathers under the wing. There must have been at least two hundred of them feasting on earthworms preparing for their journey north to their breeding grounds in Scandinavia. I looked again on Saturday morning and they had gone. There were two good gobbets of news from The Hawk and Owl Trust reserve at Sculthorpe Moor on Saturday morning. The pair of Peregrine Falcons that have occupied our nest box on the spire of Norwich Cathedral have laid their second egg. The third and fourth eggs, which will make up the full clutch, should be completed by next Thursday. The first egg should hatch on about 27th April.
The other heartening news is the return of the female Marsh Harrier familiarly known as "Mrs H". She first appeared at our reserve in 2004. She laid a clutch of eggs but torrential rain shortly afterwards washed out the nest. Undeterred she re-laid and raised 3 young. Year after year she has returned to our reed bed and raised young.
In the summer of 2008 Nigel Middleton, the Hawk and Owl Trust's Conservation Manager for East Anglia, decided that we'd try and put a mini-camera in "Mrs H's" nest. There was an anxious wait to see if she would accept it. Thankfully she did and as a result visitors to the reserve were able to watch close ups of the young being fed projected onto a large screen in the Education Centre. We were worried whether the smallest chick would survive, and viewers of the BBC Television series Springwatch were equally concerned. On the third evening there was a storm and the camera was hit by lightning. Had the female and the three chicks survived? Two days later we were able to reassure viewers with pictures of the three chicks being fed. Over the next few weeks, much to our surprise, the 'runt' put on weight dramatically and turned out to be a female much bigger than the other two chicks who were males.
"Mrs H" has done us proud. Year after year she's returned from her wintering grounds, which could be as far away as Africa, to nest at our reserve. To date she has reared 47 young and now she's back, in pristine adult plumage, to rear another brood of chicks. "Hurrah" for "Mrs H"!

Q: C# Garbage collection of object that has a running timer I have created an object that needs to update it's status in a set interval so I am using a Timer for this. Many of these objects are displayed in different lists. And when such a list is reloaded(which happens often) the object is no longer referenced, the timer is still running tho.
I know I can prevent this by calling dispose, but a developer using this object can forgot to implement the call to dispose and I think will cause a mayor memory leak, am I right in this and what tools can I employ to make sure the object get garbage collected.
Below is a simplified version of how the classes are used.
The Object

        Timer.Start();
    }

    private void Timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
    {
        Count++;
    }

    public void Dispose() // implementing IDisposable
    {
        Dispose(true);
        GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
    }

    protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (!disposed)
        {
            if (disposing)
            {
                // Free other state (managed objects).
            }
            Timer.Stop();
            Timer.Elapsed -= Timer_Elapsed;
            Timer.Dispose();

            // Free your own state (unmanaged objects).
            // Set large fields to null.
            disposed = true;
        }
    }

    // Use C# destructor syntax for finalization code.
    ~Test()
    {
        // Simply call Dispose(false).
        Dispose(false);
    }
}

The List class
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{

    public List<Test> TestsCollection = new List<Test>();
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        TestsCollection.Clear();
        TestsCollection.Add(new Test());
        GC.Collect();
    }
}

A: In this case it seems there will indeed be a leak if you won't Dispose your Test, and finalizer won't help (at least all my tests show that this is how it will behave).
As stated here - timer internally registers callback in GCHandle table, which prevents situation that callback might be invalid when it's time to fire it. Because your callback (Timer_Elapsed) is not static - that means it holds reference to this and so your Test object cannot be collected, because there is rooted reference (GCHandle) to your callback. Now, your object in turn has reference to timer, because you store it in a field. So after all, there is reference from root to both your Test object and your timer, and neither of them can be garbage collected.
To fix the issue - you need to break some of the strong references. You can do that for example like this:
public class Test : IDisposable {
    protected readonly Timer Timer;
    protected int Count = 0;
    private bool disposed = false;

    public Test() {
        Timer = new Timer(Timer_Elapsed, new WeakReference<Test>(this), 0, 1000);
    }

    private static void Timer_Elapsed(object state) {
        var wr = (WeakReference<Test>) state;
        Test test;
        if (wr.TryGetTarget(out test)) {
            test.Count++;
            Console.WriteLine(test.Count);
        }
    }

    public void Dispose() // implementing IDisposable
    {
        if (!disposed) {
            Timer.Dispose();
            disposed = true;
        }
    }
}

There we first replace System.Timers.Timer with System.Threading.Timer and also make callback method static, so that it no longer prevent parent Test object from collection. However, we need to access Test object somehow in callback - so we pass WeakReference as a state there (we cannot pass object itself because it will create the same situation we are trying to avoid). In callback we check if Test object is still alive, and if yes - do what is needed with it.
We also remove destructor because it's not necessary here. When Test object is garbage collected - Timer will also be collected and it's own destructor will be called.


It's a hard (and frustrating) fact: higher education is extremely expensive. Indeed, the cost of attending a college or university has grown exponentially over the years and the vast majority of families cannot afford to pay entire tuition bills out of pocket. Although these hefty price tags might cause your heart to skip a beat and question the feasibility of sending your child to college, with enough planning and foresight higher education can be financially viable. You simply need to start prepping early!
When it comes to saving for college, you want to use time to your advantage. In other words, the earlier you begin, the better positioned your family will be. As you well know, the money you set aside will accrue interest. If you begin saving when your child is quite young, you'll have managed to earn a hefty sum from the interest alone. For example, say you start making a monthly contribution of $150 to a college account when your son or daughter is born. If you manage to secure 6% interest over the course of 17 years, a whopping 42.5% of your total savings will have come from interest. Not too shabby right?
Additionally, it's also important to note that you should set aside whatever you and your family deem doable. It doesn't matter if you can only save $500 a week or $50 a month, every dollar counts. And, of course, you can even set up an automatic transfer from your checking account into a savings account. This ensures the process is hassle free and not forgotten!
529 Basic College Savings Plan: The 529 Plan is a savings account which allows you to invest your money and then withdraw funds free of federal income taxes. The catch, of course, is that the money you withdraw must be used for qualified college expenses. If the money is put towards other expenditures, it will be subject to taxes as well as a 10% penalty.
529 Prepaid Tuition Plan: The 529 Prepaid Plan allows you to set aside money for college while guaranteeing current tuition fees. This plan can only be used in conjunction with participating schools. You can choose from two options: state plans for state schools or an independent 529 for private colleges. Only a handful of states currently offer a prepaid plan and some programs are unfortunately running into funding issues. Therefore, we suggest you do a little research and ensure your state's fund is healthy before investing. Finally, if your child ultimately does not attend a participating school, you will be able to get your principal back. However, it will not have been privy to a good interest rate and you might be hit with a few penalties.
Uniform Gift to Minors Act (UGMA): The Uniform Gift to Minors Act declares that a child may own securities (or other investments) in his name as long as a parent acts as a custodian of the account (until said child reaches legal age). You can open a UGMA account for your child at any financial institution. Unfortunately, if your child's unearned income is higher than $1,900 he will be taxed at your income bracket until either age 19 or 24 (if he's a student). Finally, you will lose control over the account/money once your child reaches legal age.
Uniform Transfer to Minors Act: This is very similar to the Uniform Gift to Minors Act. If you're still wary, consider the fact that the more you save now the less you'll have to take out in loans when it's actually time for your child to enroll in college. Further, it's critical to remember that though interest works to your advantage with regards to savings accounts, it works to your disadvantage when it comes to loans. And, eventually, you'll end up owing far more than the initial figure.
Finally, we cannot stress enough that it's never too late to start saving. Even if you're the parent of a high school junior or senior, money you begin putting away now is money you won't have to borrow later. And that's certainly a fact you can take to the bank!


A staple in England for centuries has been its passionate and sometimes overzealous love for the game of football (soccer to any American's reading) and its numerous teams that reside in the surrounding area. From Chelsea, Liverpool, West Ham United, Manchester United and Manchester City, a Premier League match is a great way to see some of the best athletes the world has to offer. Whether a fan of the game or not, the sheer excitement and atmosphere that surround the matches is a once in a lifetime experience for any sports fan. Rivaling any sporting event in the world, a Premier League match now offers fun for the whole family with not a bad seat in the house and well-rounded in age crowd.
Being the best collection of footballers the planet has to offer, going to a Premier League match truly gives you a firsthand view of the best football players in the world. If you are unsure of whose who, be sure to check your program and you'll be sure to recognize at least a name or two. When going to see Manchester City play, expect to hear players like Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure's names announced on several occasions, and for one if not both of them to do something special out on the pitch. Nicknamed "City" for short, Manchester City is one of the best teams in the Premier League and was runner-up last season for the league title after winning it the season before in stunning fashion. Holding just over 55,000 supporters, City's stadium is one of the very best atmospheres in all of the Premier League and is a must stop on any tour of Manchester.
Depending on how late or early in the season you decide to take your Premier League match excursion, you will want to make sure you dress appropriately. If you are heading to a game later in the season in late October or November, you will want to bring a scarf and some warm weather gear, with your club's logo of course!
Any football fan (especially of the Premier League) visiting near Manchester for holiday or business, should undoubtedly check out a Premier League match with one of the best options being a Manchester City match booked by Musement.com.


How to add a Spark service for use in a Jupyter notebook on IBM Watson Studio.
In earlier releases, an Apache Spark service was available by default for IBM Watson Studio (formerly Data Science Experience). This was often not needed and inefficient, so the default Spark service was removed on March 20, 2018. However, if you do need the Spark service, this tutorial explains how you can add it.
To set up a Spark service for use in Jupyter notebooks on Watson Studio.
Log in or create an account for Watson Studio.
This will take no more than 15 minutes.
Set up a project in Watson Studio.
In your project, go to the Settings tab. Scroll down to Associated Services, and choose + Add service > Spark.
Either choose an Existing Spark service or create a New one.
When you create a notebook, select the Spark runtime that you've associated with this project.
Click the Create Notebook button.
You should now be able to use an Apache Spark service in your notebook.

ARACHNEO
Arachneo, also called Cheli, is a small village, up in the mountains, not far from the peak of the same name. Driving there is a ride first through a fertile agricultural landscape, then in a much more barren mountain landscape. A great trip in itself, but our main goal is the little church in the village, The Church of the Assumption, or Agia Marina. The church was the first catholicon of the MONASTERY OF TALANTI, and on our way, a kilometre or so before we reach the Arachneo village, you'll see a sign pointing you in the direction of the Talanti monastery, in the Houni ravine. So we'll do a little side trip first!
In 1761, the local Aga (Turkish officer), demanded taxes from the monks, who then lived in Arachneo. The monks didn't want to pay (big surprise), so they sought away from the village. They built this new monastery in the beginning of the Houni ravine, and they dedicated it to the Virgin. This monastery still stands, and also you will find a beautiful, old church there, that soon will be cleaned for years of soot so the hagiographies will be as new. The church is always open, even if there are no monks there anymore. If you're lucky, locals can show you the sheepfold, now a chapel, and other hidden treasures of the monastery. Also, take in the beautiful views.
Driving towards the village again, you'll soon see Arachneo village to your left and the even older church, AGIA MARINA or Metoxi to your right. It is (at least probably) the smallest Byzantine church of Argolis, and the one of two who is double-naved, the other one being in Adami.
Agia Marina, has no glass in the windows, and the frescoes have faded from moisture and age, but are still breathtakingly beautiful, painted by a Cretan School artist who worked here in the 16th century. It's a gem, this church, and you really shouldn't miss it!
The road passing the church will lead you to Ligourio. But there are two more sights worth visiting here. First off all, you can't avoid seeing the WIND TURBINES at the Arachneo Mountain's ridge. Drive up to them! They are not noisy or spooky or anything, just very majestic, and they provide Argolis with clean and much needed electricity. Just point the car at the peak of the mountain, and drive on. A little while before you reach the top, you'll see a building, used by the employees of the wind turbine company.
Park there, and to your left, you'll see a low wall build of stones. This is one of the walls of the GYKLOS FORT. As you also can read about here, Arachneo was the communication pass between Argolis and Corinthia in the olden days. There are several such fortresses in the area, mainly used in medieval times to control and supervise the Franks, Byzantines et al. The Gyklos Fort is probably built around 1220, and some of the walls are still standing, even if they're not as tall as they used to be. It's barren (except in the spring) and yet incredibly beautiful here, and the views are fabulous!
You can continue further up the gravel road, and soon, if it's a clear day, you can see Athens to the north and the island Hydra in the south. And most of Argolis. And hear the windmills and their soft swoosh swoosh. At its highest; Arachneo is 1091 metres, so bring a warm jacket!
ARACHNEO MOUNTAIN is a mountain from the Greek myths. Here, Clytemnestra (Agamemnon's wife, from Mykines, he was at the Trojan war at the time) saw glares from fires at the communication towers (pyramids), predicting the destruction of Troy. And some of the pyramids, or what's left of them, can be found in Prosymna, Elliniko, Ligourio, and Lefkakia.
An amazing church, a monastery, a fort and wind turbines

Arachneo is 27 km from Nafplio (driving via the Tyrinthas - Mykinon road), and you'll need a car to get there.

Tadeusz Wasilewski (Chochlik-Wasilewski) herbu Drzewica (ur. 19 sierpnia 1795 r. we wsi Artasów,  zm. 1 maja 1850 r. we wsi  Juśkowice k. Złoczowa) – ziemianin, od r.1817, poseł, a od 1830 r. wicemarszałek Stanów Galicyjskich. Jeden z pionierów pracy organicznej w Galicji, wielki orędownik i działacz na rzecz uwłaszczenia chłopów. Jako jeden z pierwszych w Galicji, w 1843 r., podjął eksperyment zniesienia pańszczyzny na swoich ziemiach.

Życiorys
Pochodził z niezamożnej rodziny szlachty zaściankowej wschodniej Galicji. Artasów, rodzinną wieś Tadeusza, ojciec Jan Wasilewski, dzierżawił wówczas od brata ciotecznego Uruskiego. Po zakupie wsi Kniaże k. Złoczowa, rodzina Wasilewskich przeniosła się tam na stałe.

Absolwent Uniwersytetu Lwowskiego, autor licznych rozpraw na temat ówczesnej sytuacji najniższych warstw społecznych, m.in. "Dzieje ludu wiejskiego w Polszcze". Zasłużył się jako działacz na rzecz budowy szkolnictwa polskiego na kresach czerwieńskich, a przede wszystkim walką o uwłaszczenie galicyjskich chłopów. W 1843 r, jako jeden z pierwszych w Galicji, wprowadził w należących do niego Juśkowicach, eksperymentalny projekt zniesienia pańszczyzny. Podczas posiedzenia sesji sejmowej Stanów galicyjskich w roku1843 wniósł formalny wniosek w sprawie utworzenia komisji, mającej przygotować podstawy prawne uwłaszczenia (poparty stosunkiem głosów 86 do 15). Jednak nadanie ziemi chłopom na własność w zaborze austriackim przeprowadzono dopiero w 1848 r.

Po śmierci wicemarszałka, jego syn Tadeusz przekazał do Ossolineum wszystkie prace i korespondencje ojca. Listy do ossolińskiego kuratora Henryka Lubomirskiego, zostały włączone do inwentarza autografów.

Wspomnienie i charakterystykę Tadeusza Wasilewskiego, zawarła w swoich Pismach, jego córka, publicystka i pedagog, Felicja Boberska.

Rodzina

Żoną Tadeusza Wasilewskiego była Antonina Radwańska, z którą miał troje dzieci. Córka, Felicja Boberska (1825 – 1889), była znaną działaczką oświatową, żoną Alojzego Boberskiego.  Syn, Tadeusz (Chochlik-Wasilewski) herbu Drzewica (1835–1897), był posłem na Sejm Krajowy Galicji a drugi syn Wojciech, właścicielem wsi Siemuszowa w powiecie sanockim.

15 days until Christmas. Did you hear me? 15 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!
All the wide-eyed worried emojis. ????????????????????
I don't even have one wrapped present under my tree. Literally, everything is just laying out on the guest bed or stuffed in my closet. All in Target bags, naturally. I'm so grateful Emma isn't old enough to think about snooping around for her gifts, because they wouldn't be hard to uncover this year! Must. wrap. gifts!!!!!
Some really sweet lady offered to take one of the whole family, and I was so relieved to not have to awkwardly walk up to someone and be like, "I'm kind of obsessively weird about the picture-taking thing, will you take one of us getting our Christmas tree??" ????
We had so much fun with these, I think we're going to make it a new family tradition. The cookies were easier to make than I thought they would be, and we all ended up liking gingerbread (which I wasn't 100% sure was going to happen). You can find the recipe right here.
Not quite scooting yet, but we're getting close! This happy guy keeps me company during most of my photo shoots for the blog. I let him play with the off-season fake fruit ????.
A little sibling love to wrap things up. This guy this his sister hung the moon ❤.
Hi, I'm Ashton and I'm addicted to Christmas treats.
And Candy Cane Tootsie Pops. Just to name a few.
At the moment, I'm also obsessed with sending out Starbucks and Amazon e-cards as holiday gifts for friends who live far away and clients. I'm hoping it doesn't come across as impersonal, because I kind of think it's genius ????.

Words related to potshot
pot (n.1)
"deep, circular vessel," from late Old English pott and Old French pot "pot, container, mortar" (also in erotic senses), both from a general Low Germanic (Old Frisian pott, Middle Dutch pot) and Romanic word from Vulgar Latin *pottus, which is of uncertain origin, said by Barnhart and OED to be unconnected to Late Latin potus "drinking cup." Similar Celtic words are said to be borrowed from English and French.
Specifically as a drinking vessel from Middle English. Slang meaning "large sum of money staked on a bet" is attested from 1823; that of "aggregate stakes in a card game" is from 1847, American English.
Pot roast "meat (generally beef) cooked in a pot with little water and allowed to become brown, as if roasted," is from 1881. Pot-plant is by 1816 as "plant grown in a pot." The phrase go to pot "be ruined or wasted" (16c.) suggests cooking, perhaps meat cut up for the pot. In phrases, the pot calls the kettle black-arse (said of one who blames another for what he himself is also guilty of) is from c. 1700; shit or get off the pot is traced by Partridge to Canadian armed forces in World War II. To keep the pot boiling "provide the necessities of life" is from 1650s.
shot (n.)
Old English scot, sceot "a shot, a shooting, an act of shooting; that which is discharged in shooting, what is shot forth; darting, rapid motion," from Proto-Germanic *skutan (source also of Old Norse skutr, Old Frisian skete, Middle Dutch scote, German Schuß "a shot"), related to sceotan "to shoot," from PIE root *skeud- "to shoot, chase, throw."
Meaning "discharge of a bow, missile," also is from related Old English gesceot. Extended to other projectiles in Middle English, and to sports (hockey, basketball, etc.) 1868. Another original meaning, "payment" (perhaps literally "money thrown down") is preserved in scot-free. "Throwing down" might also have led to the meaning "a drink," first attested 1670s, the more precise meaning "small drink of straight liquor" by 1928 (shot glass is by 1955). Camera view sense is from 1958.
Sense of "hypodermic injection" first attested 1904; figurative phrase shot in the arm "stimulant" is by 1922. Meaning "try, attempt" is from 1756; sense of "remark meant to wound" is recorded from 1841. Meaning "an expert in shooting" is from 1780. To call the shots "control events, make decisions" is American English, 1922, perhaps from sport shooting. Shot in the dark "uninformed guess" is from 1885. Big shot "important person" is from 1861.
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.
[Emerson, from "Concord Hymn"]
pot-hunter (n.)
"one who shoots whatever he finds; one who hunts or fishes for food or profit not for sport, one who kills regardless of the season, waste of game, or pleasure involved," 1781, from pot (n.1) + hunter. Related: Pot-hunting (1808).
pot (v.)
"to put in a pot or pots," 1610s, from pot (n.1). Related: Potted; potting. Earlier it meant "to drink from a pot" (1590s). From 1860 as "shoot or kill game; shoot an enemy" (compare pot-hunter, potshot).

Creating Space for Civil Society Through Technology and Open Data
Today is International Day of Democracy, a day meant to inspire reflection and celebration of the principles of democracy worldwide. This year's theme, "Space for Civil Society," serves as a reminder that a strong and active civil society is necessary for resilient democracy.
This year's theme is also a reaction to the fact that civil society faces serious challenges globally. Since the early 2000s, authoritarian regimes have used new methods to limit the ability of civil society to protect the rights of citizens, demand accountability from government and engage in public policy. These limitations extend to the Internet and social media; authoritarian regimes continue to curtail political speech and monitor political dissent online.
But just as autocratic regimes are imposing these limitations, civil society is adopting new technologies and using open government data to create new civic space and work in parallel with the interests of open, inclusive government. NDI is supporting these efforts by assisting civil society groups in the creation of international norms and standards for legislative openness and open election data.
International platforms, such as the Legislative Openness Working Group of the Open Government Partnership (OGP), which NDI co-chairs with the Congress of Chile, have brought together elected officials with civil society groups to develop tools that help advance government accountability. In Georgia, the Inter-Factional Working Group on Legislative Openness has used the OGP framework to develop an action plan in collaboration with civil society to improve the transparency of parliament. On this International Day of Democracy, the Parliament of Georgia is hosting an international conference, as part of the Global Legislative Openness Week, to share its experience with other legislatures throughout the region.
Open election and parliamentary data has also become a rallying point for civil society groups around the world. In Kenya, for example, civil society, the technology community and election officials recently created a joint task force to make open election data a priority ahead of Kenya's 2017 polls, drawing on NDI's Open Election Data Initiative.
While open data is creating a path to accountability, it is important to remember that these tools can only be meaningful to the average citizen or to those in government when it informs dialogue and deliberation. That is why civil society groups must also play the role of data interpreter: processing, visualizing and communicating open data so that it can be understood and used to enhance the engagement of citizens, particularly women and youth who are disproportionately impacted by a lack of transparency. Technology can help facilitate data analysis, but it is ultimately up to civil society to utilize open data for democratic development.
With our partners, NDI is helping pioneer the use of international norms, open data and technology to create new space for civil society, and will continue to support the innovative work of citizen groups in this area. But in order to ensure long-term democratic resilience, these tools must help create a precedent so that space for civil society not only exists, but is also occupied effectively and constructively.

What is so special about French roasted chicken? Well, in your average British supermarket the most choice you have is small, medium, large or free range. In France it's a different story. Of course, you get the standard mass produced birds which tend to be reasonably priced but they are small and you probably need two to feed a family, or at least we do!
What I had actually bought is a chicken that has had a much longer life rather than a chicken that is normally slaughtered before the normal 12 weeks. Here is how I cook it now and you can use this method for any chicken.I like use a dutch oven for a whole chicken. You need to soak the pot in water before you start but you can use any lidded oven dish if you don't have one.
Start by seasoning the chicken well inside and out with fresh ground black pepper and flaked sea salt and place it in the pot. Cut a lemon in half, squeeze both halves over the chicken then tuck them side the body cavity. Pour over 500ml of hot chicken stock and scatter over fresh tarragon, cover and cook in the oven for about 2 hours until tender. Remove the chicken, place in an oven tin and roast for 30-40 minutes until golden, strain the fat from the juices and serve with the chicken.
I know this is really simple but it's also great if you don't want to be tied to the kitchen as you can just leave it in the crock pot. It's easy to swap the flavours around using fresh thyme, onion or other herbs. Cooking in stock also works really well if you have pheasant and are wary of ending up with a tough, stringy dinner!
And then there is this beauty; a label Rouge Challans Noir. Free range breeding in France is fiercely protected and only certain producers can use the coveted Label Rouge. This means that the chicken is not slaughtered until it is 81 days old and will spend its life outside on grass. The Challan Noir chicken is a breed local to us in the Vendée with black feathers and feet. It looks nothing like a normal chicken and has very little fat.
I believe this type of bird needs to be left alone as much as possible so rub all over with olive oil and season well then place breast down in an oven tray. Roast it in the oven like a standard chicken for half the time and then turn it over for the remaining time. This allows the small amount of fat on the bird to help baste it. I like to cover with a couple of slices of bacon if it gets too brown. It may sound bizarre but we have a Bronze turkey at Christmas and cook it the exact same way and it always turns out perfectly.
Here are two different simple methods for French Roasted Chicken that you can use for any poultry, indeed some farmers in the UK are now using French breeds so you might be lucky enough to find one of these.
What these pictures don't show you is the flavour. Both chickens have a distinct taste and you know that you are buying meat that has been reared slowly and is absolutely delicious!

MUMBAI, May 19 (IANS): Former India batsman Virender Sehwag rates Saurav Gangulys leadership higher than anyone else in Indian cricket. The former India opener said statistically, Virat Kohli as captain may remain among the best, still, he could not build a team as much as Ganguly did.
"Sourav Ganguly built a new team, brought in new players, and backed them through their highs and lo"s," Sehwag said on Home of Heroes, Sports18's latest offerin". "I doubt if Kohli did that in his tenu"e."
The two-time World Cup winner said during Kohli's captaincy, for 2-3 years, there was a trend to change the team after almost every Test, whether they won or lose.
"In my opinion, the #1 captain is the one who builds a team and gives confidence to his players. He (Kohli) backed some players, some he d"d not," says Sehwag.
Quizzed if Rishabh Pant's career trajectory was similar to his, with limited success in ODI and T20Is but enviable numbers in Tests, Sehwag agrees and says Pant will be more successful if he opens in limited-overs cricket.
Cricket fans were stunned earlier this year when Pant walked out to open against West Indies in an ODI. He managed a 34-ball 18, but India coach Rahul Dravid knew what he was doing. As the U-19 coach, Dravid witnessed Pant's credentials as an opener when he recorded the fastest U-19 international fifty against Nepal during the 2016 ICC U-19 World Cup, getting there in 18 balls, followed by a century in the next match against Namibia.
"We don't play limited-overs to score 50 or 100 but to score at a brisk pace, no matter the situation or the opposition," said Sehwag. "At no. 4 or 5, he will find himself in situations that demand greater responsibility, but if he opens, he will be far more successful."
Sehwag also earmarked Prithvi Shaw as the player to watch out for in the future. "He is a player who can bring back the excitement in Test cricket," Sehwag opined. "Opposition will have to think if 400 would be enough with Shaw and Pant in our ranks."
"Shaw and Pant in one team could help India rule Test cricket, win the World Test Championship," Sehwag claimed.

Person of The Week: Jason Saksa
Jason Saksa, also know as Mr. Saksa, is Lakewood High school's amazing health teacher. Lucky, I was able to ask him some questions I had about him and he kindly answered. Mr. Saksa started teaching in 1996 for a Catholic school in Cleveland. He attended Kent State for his undergraduate studies and then he went to Cleveland State for his masters degree. He said that he chose to teach Health and PE because they were areas he had excelled in, and they were classes he enjoyed in High school.
Mr. Saksa has been teaching for 22 years and he plans to be teaching for 35 years so he plans to be teaching for 13 more years. He said he chose to work at Lakewood High school because he was called in for an interview and the position included a health teaching job which he didn't have where he was teaching before. He also stated that he enjoys the classroom just as much he does the gym. He also said that his dream job would have been medicine, he said he would have liked to go to med school to become a doctor, preferably an anesthesiologist or an orthopedic surgeon.
I had also asked him if there was anything else career based that he has done and he said no, but he has had many other jobs. He had bar tended for many years and also had sold home security systems for the world-famous ADT. "Teaching at Lakewood High School has been an amazing experience. I cannot wait for the years to come," said Jason Saksa.
