In a surprise reversal, Lebanon's Interior Ministry has overturned a move to ban Steven Spielberg's awards-season contender, The Post, and will allow the release of the film beginning tomorrow. Despite the movie initially passing the country's government-run screening process, the General Security Directorate had rejected it earlier this week over Spielberg's ties to Israel.
The Washington Post, the paper at the heart of Spielberg's movie, notes that the filmmaker was put on the Arab League blacklist of sanctioned individuals after his foundation donated $1M to relief efforts in Israel during its 2006 war with Hezbollah.
However, what passes the censor is ultimately up to the Interior Ministry, and in a rare move, the body did not approve the General Security committee's decision. "Interior Minister Nohad Mashnouk is going to allow the film to be shown," a senior official told AFP. Most of Spielberg's recent films have been shown in Lebanon, even if his name has been blacked-out on posters in the past.
The DreamWorks/Participant freedom-of-the-press picture, which tells the story of the Pentagon Papers through the eyes of WaPo's Kay Graham and Ben Bradlee, stars Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. It was the latest high-profile picture to be banned in Lebanon after Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman was denied release based on star Gal Gadot being Israeli and having served in the army.

Exclusive Interview: Chirac Advises Bush How to Avoid War: Shortly after his exclusive interview with Time Magazine, French President Jacques Chirac sat down in the Elysee Palace for an even more exclusive session with an unnamed ScrappleFace editor.
Why is France shirking its military responsibilities to its oldest ally? Ally? Which ally?


MOLESWORTH Cricket Club held its annual dinner and trophy presentations for the 2016/17 season at the Star and Garter Hotel. Some 60 people attended the night, including players, partners and life members.
For Molesworth I, Brayden Hodge bagged five trophies, while Jack Evans took home four for Molesworth II. Joshua Ransley also did well collecting three trophies including the club's Best Under 21 Player award. Ransley also won the same award for the Southern Cricket Association in second grade. Well done to all trophy winners.
The highlight of the night was when club stalwart Craig Coppleman had life membership bestowed on him. Coppleman has given great service to Molesworth over many seasons since starting his career in 1986. After three years with the club he then had one season with Glenora/Ellendale before returning to Molesworth for another three summers. He then had one season at Lauderdale and then from the next season returned to Molesworth where he played until 2008. He played in the 1993/94 B Grade Premiership with Molesworth II in the then Derwent Valley Cricket Association. This was also the season that the club took out the double with Molesworth I also taking out the premiership.
The Coppleman name goes back a bit with the Molesworth club, with Craig's father having played there as well. The name continues with Craig's sons, Bradley and Daniel, putting in some fine performances that must give great pleasure to their dad. Since retiring from playing, Craig has umpired in the Southern Cricket Association where he has given the same dedication as he did during his playing days. Congratulations Craig, your input into the club and the game is a credit to yourself, well done.
The club would like to thank Steve Salter at the Star and Garter Hotel for his help towards the night and also thanks all sponsors and trophy donors for the 2016/17 season.

Rabbi Greenberg's Message 5/8/15
May 8, 2015 By tstbedford in Uncategorized
A generation ago, the Reform movement took a big step when it added "mothers" to the daily prayer in which we acknowledge the role of our "father." In its historical context, the passage refers to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the profound moral and spiritual role they played in the early development of Judaism. The prayer suggests that we "ride on their coattails" as God is all the more inclined to be gracious to us because of the worthy Patriarchs who came before us.
But there were those who asked: "what about our matriarchs?" What about the role that our mothers have played in our lives, and continue to play, whether they are still alive or have passed on?
As we are about to celebrate Mother's Day, we all know that it is about much more than picking out the right card, or picking a gift that per chance our mother or wife will "really" like. But what we can be certain of is that our mothers want to feel appreciated, and that they have influenced us for the good. They want to know that we are better people because of the mother who has nurtured, raised and protected us.
"You shall revere your mother……." says the Torah. In fact, we are told that holiness begins with the reverence that we show to our mothers so let me share a few insightful quotes that I find especially meaningful. I trust that not only our mothers will understand the wisdom and the truths that these passages convey.
* "God could not be everywhere, and therefore He made mothers."
* "Men are what their mothers made them."
* "Only mothers can think of the future — because they give birth to it in their children."
* "The real religion of the world comes from mothers… who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms."
Thank you mothers for the blessings you bestow upon us. They remain with us forever.
Rabbi David Greenberg

Q: Sonar analysis for ExtendScript(JSX) files I have a list of files with .jsx extension which needs to be analyzed with Sonar. No plugin is available in Sonarqube for the same. Can anything be done to the existing JavaScript Sonar plugin to analyze .jsx files.

Residents of Burnaby, British Columbia who want to lose weight may want to double down on cardio or aerobic exercises to achieve better results. Aerobic exercises are relatively lightweight, and designed to increase the body's need for oxygen. A reputable Metrotown gym, like She's Fit, offers several options for cardio exercises to help you win the battle of the bulge.
A December 2012 article on CNN Health reported on a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, which showed that aerobic exercise is more effective for short-term weight loss compared to lifting weights. The study was designed by scientists from Duke University Medical Center who wanted to find out exactly what type of workout routine would be more effective for weight loss. Over 200 overweight, middle-aged adult participants with no diabetes were assigned to one of three exercise routines.
The first group stuck to 133 minutes of cardio exercises each week. The second group did more weight lifting, while the third group combined both cardio and weight training. It is widely believed that one can burn more calories by increasing muscle mass, since the body naturally uses up more calories to maintain a kilo of muscle compared to a kilo of fat. Ergo, by building muscle, people can boost their metabolism and thereby burn more calories.
The results of the study proved quite astonishing in that the number of calories burned as a result of mere muscle gain was not that spectacular as far as weight loss was concerned. Meanwhile, the third group of volunteers who stuck to a combination of both cardio and weight lifting were found to lose the most weight around the midsection. However, it took them twice the work to lose marginally as much weight than the cardio-only group.
The researchers thus concluded that weight lifting alone somehow does not help the body lose fat or shed the kilos quite as dramatically as aerobic exercise. Given that busy people tend to cheat with exercise, experts suggest that people who work out mainly to lose weight may want to focus their efforts initially on aerobic exercise. Luckily, you can count on personal trainers from gyms like She's Fit to design tailor-fit programs that can help you achieve your fitness goals in a balanced and sustainable manner.
The study does not dissuade people, however, from strength training, which helps maintain good overall health, and prevents the loss of bone and muscle mass as the body ages. However, it really all boils down to what your goal is: do you work out at a well-equipped Metrotown health club to lose weight, gain muscle mass, or both? If it's the former, then it's only logical that you add more cardio exercises to your routine so you can achieve your ideal weight within a reasonable period.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Six men have sued the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, claiming church leaders concealed allegations that a priest sexually abused children for decades.
The suits, filed in November by men from Maine, New Hampshire and New York, were made public this week and accuse the diocese of covering up abuse by the Rev. James Vallely. The men say Vallely sexually abused them from 1958 to 1977 when they were ages 8 to 15.
Their lawyer, Mitchell Garabedian, said Tuesday that the suits claim the church "fraudulently concealed" Vallely's abuse. Vallely died in 1997 in Florida.
The concealment claim opens the way to sue even though the statute of limitations for sexual abuse has expired. Garabedian said former Bishop Daniel Feeney, who led the diocese from 1955 until his death in 1969, knew Vallely abused minors but did nothing, allowing him to continue to abuse children.
The evidence that Feeney was aware of the abuse came from a letter revealed recently as part of a separate lawsuit that indicated the diocese knew about Vallely's abuse in 1956, Garabedian said. The diocese had previously said it knew of credible allegations against Vallely going back only to 1977. Written in July 2005, the letter from one priest to another in the diocese says Feeney transferred Vallely to a different parish in 1956, shortly after learning of the sexual abuse allegations.
Diocesan spokesman David Guthro said the diocese couldn't comment on a pending lawsuit. The diocese's lawyer, Gerald Petruccelli, said he got the complaints Tuesday morning and couldn't immediately comment on the claims.
The suit is seeking unspecified monetary damages.


Fans of the beloved series Game of Thrones want to be transported to the fictional and fantastical realm of Westeros. It's possible to travel to the incredible destinations from that world, or at least the closest options that you can get.
In case you aren't aware, Game of Thrones is an award-winning television series that has been shocking millions of viewers for almost a decade. The epic fantasy was adapted from the best-selling book series A Song of Ice and Fire written by George RR Martin — he has sold more than seventy million copies across the world, and there are still two additions he has yet to finish. The majority of the drama takes place on a continent called Westeros, which is divided into various lands loyal to different rulers and houses. It's easy to imagine that these imposing stone castles and palaces beside shimmering blankets of water are all the products of Hollywood magic. The creators actually shoot in real locations instead of superimposing digital settings on a green screen.
If your customers are other businesses, you know the usual rules of marketing don't always apply. Your business is only as successful as the long-term relationships you form with your partners. To target the right businesses with the right products and services at the right time, you need to make strategic use of all available technology.
Here are four ways to kick your sales into overdrive.
1. Improve your response time.
Thomas Dickey, an account manager for Capterra, emphasizes the importance of rapid response time: "When you get a lead, you should call within ten seconds of receiving it." Not only will you demonstrate the efficiency of your sales team, but you'll also ensure you're the first vendor to reach out, beating your competitors to the punch.
Many leads languish due to incomplete contact information. Not all interested parties feel comfortable handing over details of their identities upfront, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth contacting. You're likely to find the necessary information to contact them via a quick Google search.
Responding to leads effectively requires effective time management. Your sales team can't be everywhere at once, but automating as much communication as possible can prevent lost sales.
If you've ever left items in your Amazon cart, you've probably gotten an email reminding you to check out while supplies last. Avaus points out these automated notifications have additional B2B applications. For example, you might use them to remind buyers to update payment information and renew annual contracts to prevent service interruptions. If clients cancel their subscriptions, make sure the action triggers a request for feedback and an offer that might win back their business.
Your first semester of college has been a barrage of heavy reading, high-pressure exams, and challenging class discussions. So far, you've been holding your own, but your confidence begins to crumble when you get your first major writing assignment. You've never had to work so hard to write a paper this long and complicated. Gone are your days of reading Spark Notes and throwing together a paper an hour before it's due.
If you're staring at a blank Word document with no idea where to start, don't despair. Fortunately, help is all around you. Here are four tips to help you ace your essays.
There isn't one right way to write a college-level paper; every essay will have different requirements. Before you write a bunch of material you can't use, spend some time reading over the assignment guidelines. Look for keywords that reveal what approach you should take and what skills you need to demonstrate.
For example, if your professor asks you to "report your experiment's results" or "summarize the article," your writing needs to be concise and objective. If, on the other hand, the prompt asks you to "present an argument" or "formulate a thesis," providing a brief overview of a topic isn't enough; you need to take a position on a specific issue and provide evidence to prove your opinion is valid.
Words like "describe," "explain," "discuss," or "analyze" indicate you need to go into detail. If your analysis would fit in a Tweet, it needs more development. One way to ensure you're being thorough is to pretend your audience hasn't read the novel or isn't familiar with the topic, so you need to explain key concepts and provide examples. Don't gloss over something just because your professor already knows about it.

Warplanes: WW1 Sky Aces
Mild Violence
Become a legend of air combat at the dawn of its existence, spreading fear in the airplane battle arenas of World War I
Take on the role of one of the brave pioneers testing the Wright brothers' invention in action. Examine both your flying skills and your machine's capabilities in extreme war conditions, where constructors and pilots alike were learning their plane's limits.

From light fighters like the Airco DH.2 to enormous 4-engine bombers like the Sikorsky Ilya Muromets. Customize and upgrade each machine to make it your own – and recognizable by your enemies from afar.

B.2.6 Can the state be an independent power within society?Edit
Yes it can. Given the power of the state machine, it would be hard to believe that it could always be simply a tool for the economically dominant minority in a society. Given its structure and powers, it can use them to further its own interests. Indeed, in some circumstances it can be the ruling class itself.
However, in normal times the state is, as we discussed in section B.2.1, a tool of the capitalist class. This, it must be stressed, does not mean that they always see "eye to eye." Top politicians, for example, are part of the ruling elite, but they are in competition with other parts of it. In addition, different sectors of the capitalist class are competing against each other for profits, political influence, privileges, etc. The bourgeoisie, argued Malatesta, "are always at war among themselves . . . Thus the games of the swings, the manoeuvres, the concessions and withdrawals, the attempts to find allies among the people against the conservatives, and among the conservatives against the people." [1] This means that different sections of the ruling class will cluster around different parties, depending on their interests, and these parties will seek to gain power to further those interests. This may bring them into conflict with other sections of the capitalist class. The state is the means by which these conflicts can be resolved.
Given that the role of the state is to ensure the best conditions for capital as a whole, this means that, when necessary, it can and does work against the interests of certain parts of the capitalist class. To carry out this function the state needs to be above individual capitalists or companies. This is what can give the state the appearance of being a neutral social institution and can fool people into thinking that it represents the interests of society as a whole. Yet this sometime neutrality with regards to individual capitalist companies exists only as an expression of its role as an instrument of capital in general. Moreover, without the tax money from successful businesses the state would be weakened and so the state is in competition with capitalists for the surplus value produced by the working class. Hence the anti-state rhetoric of big business which can fool those unaware of the hand-in-glove nature of modern capitalism to the state.
As Chomsky notes:
"There has always been a kind of love-hate relationship between business interests and the capitalist state. On the one hand, business wants a powerful state to regulate disorderly markets, provide services and subsidies to business, enhance and protect access to foreign markets and resources, and so on. On the other hand, business does not want a powerful competitor, in particular, one that might respond to different interests, popular interests, and conduct policies with a redistributive effect, with regard to income or power."
As such, the state is often in conflict with sections of the capitalist class, just as sections of that class use the state to advance their own interests within the general framework of protecting the capitalist system (i.e. the interests of the ruling class as a class). The state's role is to resolve such disputes within that class peacefully. Under modern capitalism, this is usually done via the "democratic" process (within which we get the chance of picking the representatives of the elite who will oppress us least).
Such conflicts sometimes give the impression of the state being a "neutral" body, but this is an illusion—it exists to defend class power and privilege—but exactly which class it defends can change. While recognising that the state protects the power and position of the economically dominant class within a society anarchists also argue that the state has, due to its hierarchical nature, interests of its own. Thus it cannot be considered as simply the tool of the economically dominant class in society. States have their own dynamics, due to their structure, which generate their own classes and class interests and privileges (and which allows them to escape from the control of the economic ruling class and pursue their own interests, to a greater or lesser degree). As Malatesta put it "the government, though springing from the bourgeoisie and its servant and protector, tends, as with every servant and every protector, to achieve its own emancipation and to dominate whoever it protects." [3]
Thus, even in a class system like capitalism, the state can act independently of the ruling elite and, potentially, act against their interests. As part of its role is to mediate between individual capitalists/corporations, it needs sufficient power to tame them and this requires the state to have some independence from the class whose interests it, in general, defends. And such independence can be used to further its own interests, even to the detriment of the capitalist class, if the circumstances allow. If the capitalist class is weak or divided then the state can be in a position to exercise its autonomy vis-à-vis the economically dominant elite, using against the capitalists as a whole the tools it usually applies to them individually to further its own interests and powers.
This means that the state it not just "the guardian of capital" for it "has a vitality of its own and constitutes . . . a veritable social class apart from other classes . . . ; and this class has its own particular parasitical and usurious interests, in conflict with those of the rest of the collectivity which the State itself claims to represent . . . The State, being the depository of society's greatest physical and material force, has too much power in its hands to resign itself to being no more than the capitalists' guard dog." [4]
Therefore the state machine (and structure), while its modern form is intrinsically linked to capitalism, cannot be seen as being a tool usable by the majority. This is because the "State, any State -- even when it dresses-up in the most liberal and democratic form -- is essentially based on domination, and upon violence, that is upon despotism -- a concealed but no less dangerous despotism." The State "denotes power, authority, domination; it presupposes inequality in fact." [5] The state, therefore, has its own specific logic, its own priorities and its own momentum. It constitutes its own locus of power which is not merely a derivative of economic class power. Consequently, the state can be beyond the control of the economically dominant class and it need not reflect economic relations.
This is due to its hierarchical and centralised nature, which empowers the few who control the state machine -- "[e]very state power, every government, by its nature places itself outside and over the people and inevitably subordinates them to an organisation and to aims which are foreign to and opposed to the real needs and aspirations of the people." If "the whole proletariat . . . [are] members of the government . . . there will be no government, no state, but, if there is to be a state there will be those who are ruled and those who are slaves." [6]
In other words, the state bureaucracy is itself directly an oppressor and can exist independently of an economically dominant class. In Bakunin's prophetic words:
"What have we seen throughout history? The State has always been the patrimony of some privileged class: the sacerdotal class, the nobility, the bourgeoisie -- and finally, when all other classes have exhausted themselves, the class of the bureaucracy enters the stage and then the State falls, or rises, if you please, to the position of a machine."
This is unsurprising. For anarchists, "the State organisation . . . [is] the force to which minorities resorted for establishing and organising their power over the masses." It does not imply that these minorities need to be the economically dominant class in a society. The state is "a superstructure built to the advantage of Landlordism, Capitalism, and Officialism." [8] Consequently, we cannot assume that abolishing one or even two of this unholy trinity will result in freedom nor that all three share exactly the same interests or power in relation to the others. Thus, in some situations, the landlord class can promote its interests over those of the capitalist class (and vice versa) while the state bureaucracy can grow at the expense of both.
As such, it is important to stress that the minority whose interests the state defends need not be an economically dominant one (although it usually is). Under some circumstances a priesthood can be a ruling class, as can a military group or a bureaucracy. This means that the state can also effectively replace the economically dominant elite as the exploiting class. This is because anarchists view the state as having (class) interests of its own.
As we discuss in more detail in section H.3.9, the state cannot be considered as merely an instrument of (economic) class rule. History has shown numerous societies were the state itself was the ruling class and where no other dominant economic class existed. The experience of Soviet Russia indicates the validity of this analysis. The reality of the Russian Revolution contrasted starkly with the Marxist claim that a state was simply an instrument of class rule and, consequently, the working class needed to build its own state within which to rule society. Rather than being an instrument by which working class people could run and transform society in their own interests, the new state created by the Russian Revolution soon became a power over the class it claimed to represent (see section H.6 for more on this). The working class was exploited and dominated by the new state and its bureaucracy rather than by the capitalist class as previously. This did not happen by chance. As we discuss in section H.3.7, the state has evolved certain characteristics (such as centralisation, delegated power and so on) which ensure its task as enforcer of minority rule is achieved. Keeping those characteristics will inevitably mean keeping the task they were created to serve.
Thus, to summarise, the state's role is to repress the individual and the working class as a whole in the interests of economically dominant minorities/classes and in its own interests. It is "a society for mutual insurance between the landlord, the military commander, the judge, the priest, and later on the capitalist, in order to support such other's authority over the people, and for exploiting the poverty of the masses and getting rich themselves." Such was the "origin of the State; such was its history; and such is its present essence." [9]
So while the state is an instrument of class rule it does not automatically mean that it does not clash with sections of the class it represents nor that it has to be the tool of an economically dominant class. One thing is sure, however. The state is not a suitable tool for securing the emancipation of the oppressed.

Failed Legacy? He Gave His Life for a Tribe
It's been several months since John Allen Chau died on North Sentinel Island, and the resulting uproar has quieted down. Since November, critics and defenders of the 26-year-old missionary have written volumes about his actions and his motivations. Many would argue that John left a failed legacy, but is that the case?
On November 29, 2108, Melinda Henneberger wrote in the Kansas City Star about Chau's death. John was killed as he sought to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Sentinelese tribe. (For a couple other takes on his death, see this piece by Tim Challies on his blog, and this article by J Oliver Conroy for The Guardian.)
From an early age, John believed that he was called to be a missionary. He sought out a difficult assignment. The Sentinelese are considered one of the last uncontacted tribes left in the world. Their island is one of the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal off the coast of India.
John paddled a canoe to the islands. He knew the dangers, and he journaled his own fears. In one entry, he said simply: "God, I thank you for choosing me while I was not even yet formed in my mother's womb to be your messenger of your Good News to the people of North Sentinel Island." His approach was met with arrows from the tribe. The next day those warning shots turned real and Chau's body was found buried on the beach.
A tragedy. His death made international news and caused an outpouring of varying viewpoints. For her part, Henneberger writes:
But to paddle up to an island where the world's most isolated people so reliably shoot arrows at intruders that for safety's sake it's been put off limits by the Indian government? And to sneak past patrol boats to venture where any trespasser who did survive could wipe out the Sentinelese, because they have no immunity to outside diseases? That is not, as the All Nations [the missions agency that sent Chau] website says, "courageous and humble."
No, it's hubristic, and if not suicidal then tragically naive.
I understand her dismay. It seems senseless that a 26-year-old man in the prime of his life should be snuffed out. Perhaps more training would have helped. Perhaps others should have stepped in and put a stop to the ill-conceived mission. There are a thousand "what-ifs."
Judging legacy
But it seems to me that the greatest legacies are never marked simply by the length of a life. If that were the case, we'd all be called to live safely. Steve Saint said it this way:
"Your story is the greatest legacy that you will leave to your friends. It's the longest-lasting legacy you will leave to your heirs."
Steve should know. In 1956, his father, Nate, and four fellow missionaries were killed by the Huaorani Indian tribe in Ecuador. Like Chau, they sought to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to a violent tribe of Indians. Their story similarly made international news.
Nate's story—and the story of his friends—launched one of the greatest missionary movements of their time.
So, you be the judge. Do you side with Henneberger? Senseless. Suicidal. Irrational. Foolish. Perhaps so, but I'm thankful I'm not the final arbiter of one person's legacy.

Congress for the New Urbanism Visits Grandmont Rosedale
When GRDC was invited to apply for a Congress Legacy Project (CLP) through the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU), we were confident that it would be an incredible opportunity for our community. Not only would we have consultants who plan walkable, bikable, people-centered places come and work pro bono, but we would also have a chance to show off the results to and international audience at CNU24 – the CNU's annual conference. In considering what kind of project to pitch, Grand River Avenue was a clear choice based on years of conversations with residents. So GRDC threw its proverbial hat into the ring and was delighted to learn that we had been selected as a CLP community – one of only four winners in the state!
Dover, Kohl and Partners arrived from Miami on Thursday, April 14th and came straight to GRDC's Main Office, where Executive Director Tom Goddeeris gave them a thorough presentation and tour of the corridor and its surrounding neighborhoods. The consultants were immediately impressed with the housing stock and businesses like Pages Bookshop. They also, however, noticed some trends along Grand River that they felt were preventing the kind of walkable downtown atmosphere residents envisioned for their community; namely high speeds and low volumes of car traffic, few pedestrian amenities and nonexistent cycling infrastructure.
With the studio at Bushnell Congregational Church set up, the consultants were joined by local firm Design Team+ and the charrette kicked off bright and early on Friday, April 15th. Three focus groups convened throughout the day, including business and property owners, transportation professionals and enthusiasts and elected/appointed officials. Each small group helped the consultants understand their specific points of view, including concerns, desires and questions. Friday evening, the church's Fellowship Hall was packed as the public gathered for a hands-on design workshop. After a presentation led by the consultant team, each table of 6 – 8 attendees could draw what they wanted to see directly onto maps of the Grand River focus area (from Evergreen to Warwick), placing dog parks, public art, restaurants, bars and bike lanes, just to name a few. Each table team reported out to the larger group and the event concluded for the evening.
Saturday, two more focus groups met to discuss environmental issues and the residential perspective for Grand River Avenue. The consultants worked tirelessly all day, synthesizing the maps drawn the previous night by residents and getting feedback from anyone who was able to wander in for the open design studio that day. Sunday, all of the design and design feedback was presented back to the Grand River Avenue stakeholders in a comprehensive slideshow delivered by the consultants. Combining planning and engineering technical expertise with input gathered at both the public sessions and small focus groups, the consultants showed an incremental approach to calming the right-of-way while improving conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders and development. As was done during Friday evening's event, attendees were polled in real time about their opinions and demographics, and when asked whether or not the final images were headed in the 'right direction', 100% responded with either 'definitely agree' or 'agree' (the other three choices were 'no opinion', 'disagree' and 'definitely disagree').
Although people felt energized and optimistic, many wondered what was next for the weekend's efforts. Luckily, Grand River Avenue has been targeted by the city of Detroit to receive serious infrastructural upgrades which accommodate all users. Monday after the workshop's conclusion, GRDC staff was invited to attend an inter-agency transportation workshop, which brought together the city's Department of Public Works, Planning and Development Department, Detroit Department of Transportation, the Michigan Department of Transportation, the Southeastern Michigan Council of Governments, and many more decision makers. At this workshop, Tom Goddeeris presented the recommendations from the consultants and staff has since put Dover, Kohl and Partners in touch with the city's hired team of consultants from Bloomberg Associates. Moving forward, the two groups will be working together to push the community's vision, as was documented during the Design Workshop.

Right around the time of the 2015 Emmys, I ran across an amazing tshirt that embodied the true essence of #BlackExcellence and #BlackGirlMagic all in one. Coming off of a melanin high where men and women of color were being acknowledged for their amazing artistic contributions in television, the shirt couldn't have come at a better time. Fast forward a few months later, I had no idea the Founder of the fantastic Foolies clothing line would be contacting me to be featured for his 28 Days of Dreamers Campaign.
After a few friendly corresponding Facebook messages, I was pleasantly surprised to find out the man with the plan was not only my name twin, but an Alpha Man who goes by Alex "Nemo" Hanse.
The upbeat and insightful vibe Alex exudes is directly reflected in his "Be Inspired" tee. So much, in fact, that his shirts were spotted at Essence Magazine's 2016 Black Women In Hollywood luncheon. I mean when Oprah, Shonda Rhimes, Tracee Ellis and Evan Ross and Zendaya give you the nod of approval, your year has pretty much been made.
As I perused through his profile and the Foolies IG page, I became inspired to see who the other "Dreamers" were . With a little due diligence, I realized 11 of the "Featured Foolies" happened to be members of the Divine Nine! I was so impressed, motivated and compelled by the projects, businesses and initiatives these young men and women were doing, I couldn't keep it to myself. The super Greek in me was like " Yaasssssss, that's what I'm talking about!" I have a theory that behind many our our dynamic movements is an equally ambitious NPHC member forging the way. So far, I have yet to be proven wrong.
I am honored to be included among such influential individuals. Cheers to amping up the "Squad Requirements", being crazy enough to pursue your dreams, demonstrating exemplary servant leadership and making our Founders proud along the way. Ladies and gents, here are the Divine Nine "Foolies" Dreamers! Click the photos to see what organization they're from.

Art McNally named Contributor Finalist for Hall of Fame 2022 class
Posted on 31 August 2021 | by Field Level Media
Art McNally, often referred to as "The Father of Modern Officiating," was selected as the Contributor Finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2022 on Tuesday.
The 96-year-old McNally would be the first official honored in the Hall of Fame if he were to be inducted next year.
McNally became an official in 1959, served as referee from 1960-67 and was supervisor of officials from 1968-1991. He oversaw the implementation of instant replay in 1986.
"Officiating is critical every day for those who work in the game, and the most important part of officiating is integrity," said Hall of Famer Bill Polian, one of nine members of the Contributor Committee that selected McNally over 10 others.
"Art McNally first and foremost is a man of utmost integrity. … He set up a system of scouting, training and evaluating officials that is the gold standard for every officiating group in every other sport."
After his initial retirement, McNally stayed involved and returned to the NFL as assistant supervisor of officials from 1995-2007. He worked as an observer through the 2015 season.
In 2002, then-NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue created the Art McNally Award, which honors a game official each season who exhibits "exemplary professionalism, leadership and commitment to sportsmanship" on and off the field.
To be elected to the Hall of Fame, McNally must each receive 80 percent of the vote by the full 49-member Selection Committee when it meets in early 2022.
Last week, former wide receiver Cliff Branch was selected the Senior Finalist and Dick Vermeil was tabbed the Coach Finalist.

The Felting product division presented the innovative HyTec® P jet strip for the spunlace industry.
Groz-Beckert presented the Felting and Carding products at the recently-concluded IDEA. IDEA Miami is one of the key trade fairs for nonwovens and technical textiles in the international nonwovens industry. Over 550 exhibitors, visitors and companies from 70 countries came together at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The experts from Groz-Beckert presented the latest products and solutions for nonwovens production at booth 1224.
The Felting product division presented the innovative HyTec® P jet strip for the spunlace industry. With it, all mechanical properties improve such as scratch resistance, bending stiffness and service life thanks to its significantly higher hardness. The acrylic exhibit showed three different versions of the new HyTec® P jet strip.
Groz-Beckert also focused on special needle solutions: the EcoStar® and GEBECON® felting needle. The special working part cross-section of the EcoStar® felting needle meets the highest demands for product surface quality in all applications. Compared with a standard felting needle, the EcoStar® felting needle achieves an energy saving of up to seven percent in the needling process.
With the GEBECON® felting needle, users also benefit from an improved surface quality of the end product. The patented working part design provides optimal bending resistance and results in improved needling parameters. Enlarged scale models represent the special geometries and shapes of the GEBECON® and EcoStar® felting needles down to the last detail.
A special highlight for visitors to the Groz-Beckert booth was the live demonstration on a lab-scale needling machine. This highlighted the advantages of a GEBECON® felting needle compared with a standard conical felting needle via a penetration force measuring device.
The Carding product area was also represented at IDEA with its range of products and services. At the Groz-Beckert booth, the Carding product area presented its extensive range of services for the nonwoven industry, and visitors had the opportunity to interact with Carding specialists.

A: Can you try this ?
Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
int pixel = bitmap .getPixel(x,y);

A: Try -
private Bitmap bmp;
private int[][] rgbValues;

    bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.four_colors);

    //define the array size
    rgbValues = new int[bmp.getWidth()][bmp.getHeight()];

    for(int i=0; i < bmp.getWidth(); i++)
    {
        for(int j=0; j < bmp.getHeight(); j++)
        {

Nottingham Forest and the Arvin Appiah conundrum
Chris Burton
Another day and another episode in the long-running Nottingham Forest soap opera.
As reported by The Guardian's Daniel Taylor, Martin O'Neill is on the verge of completing a return to his spiritual home.
One tricky winger from the past has determined his future, but what about one in the present?
If you believe what you read, then Arvin Appiah contributed in part to the departure of Aitor Karanka.
He didn't wield the axe, but is said to have supporters in high places.
The Nottingham Post are among those to have covered Evangelos Marinakis' apparent frustration at a lack of game time for a bright young thing.
Karanka gave Appiah a goal-scoring senior debut back in October, but awarded him little else.
One outing in a Carabo Cup defeat to Burton and a late cameo against Leeds is all the 18-year-old has to shout about at present.
Marinakis is, allegedly, not impressed.
Nor are a number of Forest fans given the discussion surrounding an academy graduate held in the highest regard.
Many wanted to see him given more of a run as Karanka edged his way towards the exits.
Those calls, though, only serve to highlight the conundrum surrounding a home-grown talent.
Would minutes in a team clearly distracted by events away from the field have aided his development?
With so much expected of him, how much leeway would he have been given if he didn't hit the ground running?
The last thing Appiah needs is to be burdened with the expectation currently weighing down more seasoned performers.
A clean slate beckons though… for everybody.
O'Neill knows a thing or two about what it takes to deliver for Forest on the flanks.
He has an abundance of experience to pass on and a willing apprentice on which to impart knowledge.
Results, though, have to improve before gambles are taken on untested teenagers.
In an ideal world, Appiah will see game time off the bench over the coming weeks – in fixtures Forest have already established control of (such as against Leeds, just a bit earlier than the 89th minute).
He therefore becomes bedded into a positive environment and is granted the freedom to express himself.
Fresh terms have been mooted for an asset the Reds are understandably keen to retain – as per the Nottingham Post – and getting that deal done will also aid Appiah's cause.
Remove any uncertainty surrounding his future and prepare to let him off the leash.
But if no extension is agreed and results remain unpredictable at best, then what?
Marinakis wants to see youngsters brought through, as do a loyal fan base, but there has to be a time and a place.
Forest have not reached that point yet.
O'Neill is the latest leading man to join the show, though, and Appiah certainly boasts the potential to become more than an extra in the supporting cast before the 2018/19 campaign is out.

Hi everyone, thanks again for making this a memorable campaign. 168 people around the world contributed to bring Orrery Lamp into people's homes.
What began as a drawing on the back of sheet music has evolved into a tangible, illuminating reminder of our place around the Sun.


Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar called for further exemption for startups, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the much-anticipated Start-up India action plan. "Small entrepreneurs face the biggest harassment from government officials… all startup firms should be exempted from filing returns in the first five years," Parrikar said at an event organised by the Wadhwani Foundation in New Delhi on Tuesday.
The minister said he was speaking as an entrepreneur and recollected the harrowing time he personally faced while running after government departments. The BJP-led NDA government has already exempted startups from capital gains tax, filing tax returns and inspection for three years.
Romesh Wadhwani, a recipient of the Forbes India Philanthropy Award, suggested the creation of National Jobs Advisor to the Prime Minister at the PMO, among other measures urgently required to help create 50 million jobs in India over the next 10 years. Wadhwani, founder, chairman and CEO of Silicon Valley-based Symphony Technology Group and a part of the Forbes 400 list, has already committed $1 billion to help the government, both central and state, skill the youth.
"The job advisor will be responsible for creating the overall master plan for job growth, frame special initiatives to add up to the plan and coordinate between the Cabinet ministries and state governments," said Wadhwani. He said the signals from the prime minister on this issue were encouraging.
The Wadhwani Foundation released a white paper on job creation and mooted an integrated national ecosystem for entrepreneurship, education and mentoring, ease of doing business for startups, and enabling growth in existing small and medium enterprises (SMEs), among its various suggestions to give a fillip to high quality job creation.

The country of Barbados is divided into sub-regions known as parishes.

Terminology
They are legally styled as the "Parish of (parish name)" as opposed to the American naming convention with "Parish" coming after the name. The use of the term "parish" derives from the island's religious Anglican history under the Church of England.

History
The system of parish churches was originally based on the system of the Church of England and was the visible expression forming the basis of the parliamentary representation in Barbados. The differing size and shape of each parish were primarily influenced by the large plantation estates of cotton, sugar cane and tobacco that existed during the colonial years of Barbados. As various chapels of ease were created during the 17th century across the island, some local churches were elevated to parish church status, leading to the formation of new parishes surrounding those freshly created vestries.

By 1629, the English settlers after landing at James Town formed six original parishes on the island which were:
The Parish of Christ Church,
The Parish of St. James,
The Parish of St. Lucy,
The Parish of St. Michael,
The Parish of St. Peter, and
The Parish of St. Thomas

By 1645, the land holding of Barbados increased and the shape of the original six was reconfigured giving way to an additional five parishes. Some prior churches of the state within the existing parishes were elevated to the level of parish church and as a consequence they formed new parishes around those new vestries:
The Parish of St. Andrew,
The Parish of St. George,
The Parish of St. John,
The Parish of St. Joseph, and
The Parish of St. Philip.

Thus Barbados was converted into the current eleven parishes of today corresponding to the earlier church parishes. As was common under the British system, each parish had a single main parishional church (or cathedral in the case of Bridgetown having been elevated to city status), which acted as a sort of capital for each parish. The parishes each held their own local government councils until these were abolished in 1959, following a brief administrative districting experiment within Barbados until 1967.

Today

The nation's capital Bridgetown, which is located within the parish of Saint Michael, may one day be made into its own parish.

Within the country, travel is unrestricted to everyone in moving about from parish to parish. With increasing urban sprawl and new construction projects across the country many neighbourhoods and even parishional border-lines today are ill-defined.

The eleven parishes are:

Batavia resident opens food pantry out of their front lawn, bringing to life her big idea
By James Krause
Naperville Sun |
The sign on top of Amanda Mistretta's mini-food pantry in her front yard at 22 S. Mallory Ave. in Batavia reads, "Take what you need, leave what you can." (James Krause/Naperville Sun)
The small plastic shelving unit on the front lawn at 22 S. Mallory Ave. in Batavia has a small sign that reads, "Take what you need, leave what you can."
While it may be small in size, what it represents is large for Amanda Mistretta, who set it up in her yard about two months ago.
The idea behind her micro-food pantry — sometimes called a Little Free Pantry — is a simple one: If you have a nonperishable food item you're able to donate, leave it in the box. If you're someone who needs food, help yourself.
Her motivation, Mistretta said, is to do her small part in helping some of those 40 million Americans — 12 million of whom are children — who don't have enough to eat, according to statistics provided by the nonprofit group Feeding America.
"It's been a little while in the making," Mistretta said.
The idea came to her after seeing similar food pantries elsehwere and knowing their was a need in the community.
"I looked into it a few times but it was always overwhelming," Mistretta said. "Some people built very elaborate ones and I'd get nervous. I kept putting it off until I just said, 'We're going to do it in a way that works for us.' We bought some things from IKEA that work and we didn't have to put hundreds of dollars into it or try and build something super secure."
So far, "it's been going really well," she said.
In addition to food items, people can also drop off -- or take away -- personal hygiene items, like toothbrushes, diapers and soap, or dog food and treats.
The tiny food pantry set up by Amanda Mistretta on her front lawn at 22 S. Mallory Ave. in Batavia is stocked with a variety of items people are free to take, including canned goods and other nonperishable food items as well as dog food, diapers, soap and other life necessities. Community members drop off the items for those in need. (James Krause/Naperville Sun)
Because the shelving unit, which is protected from the weather by a plastic cover, isn't permanently affixed to the property, permits aren't required, Mistretta said. She's also addressed security concerns, she said.
"We have a security system so we see anyone who comes on the property," she said. "If they get any closer to our house, we get notified."
Mistretta and her husband, Anthony, have been able to spread the word about their pantry through Facebook and the Little Free Pantry website, www.littlefreepantry.org, which lists pantry locations.
"I advertised it on local Facebook pages to get the word out about it," she said. "It took a while for people to start using it and we didn't get donations right away so our family put in a few things. Then people from the community started to come and fill it up."
Mistretta also uses social media to ask for specific things when she noticesa need, she said. When the supply of shampoo and conditioner had been depleted, for example, she put the word out that more was needed.

"We have to take time every once and a while and I'll post pictures of it or something about a need we had, like shampoo and diapers," Mistretta said.
It's early days for her project and the impact remains to be seen, but she said she wants anyone who sees it know it's available for everyone.
"Our pantry is for anyone in need," she wrote on her Little Food Pantry listing. "Whether that is to feed their families, have a snack or (just borrow) 'that cup of sugar.'"
(Another Little Food Pantry, the St. Charles Blessing Box, is located at 318 Walnut St. in St. Charles.)

If you want to mess with the 'overlay coordinate', aka 'z' coordinate on screen, just edit the '.float 2', near the end of the code. I replaced the .float 2 to .float 0.5 to the compiled code, in order to 'remove' the second bug, and leave the first 'bug'.
Remove comments before compiling the code!
As I fixed the flashy thing, another problem came out, which was that at the start of the game, the 'LAP' text was hidden as soon as the rank 'overlayed' it. Upon changing position, it fixed itself. So, since the first problem was a silly one, compared to the second one, I decided to..remove the 'fix', well, still leave it, but..well, you get it.
I made sure the code didn't try to load anything when the pointer was 'empty', as it would try to load from an illegal value, most likely 0.
The changes will take effect once loading a track, meaning, you can't change stuff in game... I'll see if we can change that, but eh, have fun!

In this article we introduce a latent variable model (LVM) for mixed ordinal and continuous responses, where covariate effects on the continuous latent variables are modelled through a flexible semiparametric predictor. We extend existing LVM with simple linear covariate effects by including nonparametric components for nonlinear effects of continuous covariates and interactions with other covariates as well as spatial effects. Full Bayesian modelling is based on penalized spline and Markov random field priors and is performed by computationally efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. We apply our approach to a large German social science survey which motivated our methodological development.

Should iTunes Be Part of Your Release Strategy?
I'm not sure how many filmmakers who have spent time and great energy creating images for big theater screens feel about debuting via heavily compressed Internet media, but Film Movement plans to try such a "first run" approach with their recent announcement of a theatrical day-and-date iTunes movie release.
Such screenings would include Mine (audience award winner SXSW 2009), opening this January 8th at Cinema Village; the documentary will be the inaugural launch of the new distribution scheme.
Of course it was in May 2008 that Apple's iTunes store began offering movies from major studios the same day as their release on DVD. Prior to that, films from most studios hadn't been available on iTunes until weeks after their DVD release.
That timing still protected the hallowed distribution "window" that allowed pay cable, HBO et. al. to have a go at sating the public's appetite for a recently released film. We'll have to see if Film Movement can build an audience for movies "without being held prisoner by traditional distribution windows" as Film Movement's President Adley Gartenstein remarked in prepared comments.
But, considering the new generation's love for anything that's not a stuffy old desktop screen, the real test for movies in the coming years might be how it plays on mobile media. Of course we'll have to wait until Apple's much-ballyhooed iSlate—or whatever moniker it ends up with–hits to finally see if that slightly larger screen will make Film Movement's distribution scheme viable and directors happy.

Art is an intelligent animal that has the ability to think. Through various forms and tools used to express their emotions and consciousness, art is the sublimation of the human spirit and also the nutrients of life. N- naturally becomes the representative unknown word of the community ... but N also implies a infinite number of answers ... so N is often used as a synonym for infinity as well as the unknowns. Hair is art and its diversity has endless variations, which becomes N-ART.
We designed the logo according to the way N-ART HAIR STYLING sees their own profession–"A Hairstyle is art, varieties and endless changes." The logo is simply formed by the symbols of quadrangle, a triangle and words, and the combination of the three elements brings the intention of the design to the full.
The symbols of quadrangles are shown everywhere in the world as significant signs, which also reflects how eye-catching N-ART is.
As for the triangles, they are also common and visible in the world. For example, the pyramids built in the ancient Egypt and the one in front of the key place of modern art–Musée du Louvre. You can see how triangles play important roles in culture and human society.
And last, the words symbolize N-ART itself. Through the words they hope customers can see the best of N-ART and have better interaction with them.

Q: Flutter for fedora 37 I'm trying to install flutter on Fedora 37 with snapd but it's not working. Whenever I try to use the command:
sudo snap install flutter --classic

I get the error:

Classic confinement requires snaps under /snap or symlink from /snap to /var/lib/snapd/snap.

Then I run the command:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap

I get the error:

Failed to create symbolic link "snap/snap": File exists.

How do I fix this or find another way to use flutter on Fedora 37?
[ninal@fedora ~]$ sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/snap/snap': File exists
[ninal@fedora ~]$ sudo snap install flutter --classic
error: cannot install "flutter": classic confinement requires snaps under /snap
       or symlink from /snap to /var/lib/snapd/snap
[ninal@fedora ~]$

A: Sudo or not, ln -s will always fail if the link file already exists. In order to overwrite there is a --force option you can use overwrite an existing link file.
However, the error message "snap/snap": File exists. indicates that you already have a directory named /snap in which a new snap symlink is attempted to be created.
So ln behaves in two different modes, either the last argument is the name of

*

*the link file or

*a directory where the link file is to be created within

$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir -p a/b/c
$ ln -s /tmp/a/b        # First time, create "b" symlink in /tmp
$ ln -s /tmp/a/b        # Second time, fails since symlink exists
ln: failed to create symbolic link './b': File exists
$ ln -sf /tmp/a/b       # Succeds, overwrites existing symlink
$ mkdir c
$ ln -s /tmp/a/b/c c    # First time, create "c" symlink inside /tmp/c directory
$ ln -s /tmp/a/b/c c    # Second time, fails since symlink exists
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'c/c': File exists
$

For your particular scenario you need to get rid of the existing /snap directory to create the expected symlink.
sudo mv /snap /snap.old
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
