Teaming up at the Tee at Pelican Hill
Written By: Scott Kramer
Like most games, golf is more fun when enjoyed with friends. Stepping up to the tee with a smile makes for a smoother, more fluid swing motion that's likely to reward players with lower scores.
A focus on friendship is the premise behind Pelican Hill Golf Academy's new private group clinics, in which golfers choose to work on aspects of the game that are customized to their group. Glenn Deck, PGA director of instruction at the academy, believes that the familiarity factor enhances learning just as it benefits performance on the course.
"From the start, a golf lesson among friends is more dynamic than one-on-one instruction," says Deck, one of GOLF Magazine's Top 100 Teachers in America.
"The format invites honest questions and conversation, and golfers end up learning more than they would on their own or with strangers. Plus, the learning often continues as they help each other out on the range or the course."
Lessons are one hour, and golfers can string together one, two or three additional hours for a more intensified clinic. Each can focus on a different topic. "It's all about addressing the specific areas that are most in need of improvement," notes Deck.
The menu is lengthy. Choose lessons on the driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, full swing, wedges, ball flight control, shot distance, chipping, pitching, bunker play, flop shots, trouble shots and uneven lies, putting, green reading and speed control, and course management. New golfers can opt for "Golf 101," an overview of the rules of golf, basic equipment, swing motion, golf terms and etiquette.
"Golfers who can pinpoint the parts of their game that need help will benefit greatly from a customized clinic," says Deck, who spends a lesson's opening minutes exploring which struggles golfers want to tackle. "If you have a good wedge game but are inconsistent with your driver, then improving your drives can make a huge impact on the total game."
Deck sees the private group clinic as an ideal format for small groups ranging from high school golf teams to regular men's or ladies' groups that want to up their game a notch or two. "And of course," he adds, "students relax more, have more fun and hit the ball better when they're engaged with their friends."
Pelican Hill Golf Academy's group clinics must be booked in advance and are designed for groups of up to four students.

Ms. Aniline Lemons, teachers, parents, honorable guests, most kind benefactors especially the North American Alumni Association, friends, and fellow graduates, good afternoon. On behalf of the graduating class, I am blessed and fortunate to welcome you all in the most awaited part of our high school life: Graduation Day.
After 4 years of hardships and pain, we can finally say that, As I was writing this speech, the past 4 years I had in this school flashed back. The shouts of Joy when we were happy or when we have overcome a certain problem, the tears we shed when we were sad or angry or frustrated; success and failures, triumphs and mistakes, these things molded us to become who we are today. It seems yesterday when we were Just a bunch of confused freshmen.
We wandered into the four walls of this civic center, anxious and intimidated, but time went by so sat and before we knew it, we eventually come to a halt from all our childish acts and began to spread and widen our horizons. We have changed and matured. We were told to grow up, and we did. We were told to make sure we graduate, and we're here today. Our friends and families, our teachers and benefactors, we already understand the importance of living in this "merry-go-round battle" and finally become one with it.
We are halfway to the road of fulfillment and true success. The runner in our high school life has already come to an end, but as we trudge along another Journey, the memories of the good old days will always linger in our hearts and minds. SST. Joseph School-La Sale has been our second home for 4 years which formed within us the 3 Alsatian values, Faith, Service, and Communion. Perhaps, the most important lesson we've learned is to continually uphold the Alsatian spirit and zeal by way of making moral choices and living with Jesus as we serve others.
March 3 is not yet the end, for the truth is, we've only Just begun. As we hurdle the last chapter, we are also dawning to take again our first among thousand steps. Now, we are faced with incredible power and responsibility. We have the power before us to choose our destiny and the responsibility to choose wisely. Instead of bidding farewell to the class 2012, I would like to give the first wish of "GOOD LUCK! " Once more, I welcome you all to Join us in our next Journey. Anima La Sale! Thank you very much and once again, Good afternoon!

Q: Add drag & drop to a TextArea in a PopUp window I have created a ResizeableTitleWindow class which extends Titlewindow (to make it resizeable). Inside the RTW I add a TextArea and display the RTW as a PopUp. How do I add drag&drop to the TextArea?
public function createPopUpEdit():void {
var rtw:ResizableTitleWindow = new ResizableTitleWindow();
var st:TextArea = new TextArea();
rtw.addElement(st);
PopUpManager.addPopUp(rtw, this, false);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(rtw);

Usually you do this by setting properties in the .mxml file:
<s:TextArea id="st"
            dropEnabled="true"
            dragOver="onlyAllowCopyDragOverHandler(event)"
            dragDrop="myComponent_dragDropHandler(event)"
...

But in this case st is not defined in the mxml, but created with "new":
var st:TextArea=new TextArea();

I want to do  something like this in my createPopUpEdit function:
st.dropEnabled="true";
st.dragOver="onlyAllowCopyDragOverHandler(event)";
etc.

A: Write following code. Hope it will help you.
            private var st:TextArea;
            private var rtw:TitleWindow;

            protected function init(event:FlexEvent):void
            {
                    rtw = new TitleWindow();
                    st = new TextArea();
                    st.width = 50;
                    st.height = 50;
                    st.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onMouseDown);
                    st.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onMouseUp);
                    rtw.width = 500;
                    rtw.height = 500;
                    rtw.addElement(st);
                    PopUpManager.addPopUp(rtw, this, false);
                    PopUpManager.centerPopUp(rtw);

            }

            private function onMouseDown(e:MouseEvent):void
            {
                st.startDrag(true,new Rectangle(0,0,rtw.width,rtw.height));
            }

            private function onMouseUp(e:MouseEvent):void
            {
                st.stopDrag();
            }

The above code will drag and drop textarea in popupView.
Edit:
To add event dynamic you can do like:
st.addEventListener(DragEvent.DRAG_OVER,onlyAllowCopyDragOverHandler);
st.addEventListener(DragEvent.DRAG_DROP,myComponent_dragDropHandler);

The skate-style look never gets old. But that rigid bowl-style shell feel can be a drag. That's where Segment shines. It has the classic shape of an old-school skate helmet, but its ingenious design gives it head-hugging flexibility. So it's way more comfortable.
How did we do it? A series of interior EPS foam segments are connected by a reinforcing skeleton - so it fits more like a comfortable cap than a helmet and still meets bike and skate safety standards. Pretty amazing, right.


Bhubaneswar: A youth and a married woman were tied to an electric pole in Krusiwada village of Malkangiri district in Odisha on Thursday. The duo was fined Rs 5,000 for allegedly having an illegitimate relationship. The incident surfaced after a video of it went viral on social media.
As per reports, the woman who belonged to Krusiwada allegedly had an illicit relationship with the youth, a resident of MV-17 village. The villagers had warned them of abstaining from it when the illicit affair came to their notice.
Although the couple was warned by the villagers, the youth used to visit the woman's house on a regular basis. The two later decided to meet at a forest on the outskirts of the village.


1. GB7GF, GB7NS, GB7EP, GB7HR, and GB7SC will have TG801 made the primary (always on) talk group , TG802 will be made a UA on Slot 2 (as it is for all other repeaters).
2. GB7WL will have TG801 made an always on talk group on slot 2. (TG810, will remain Always On also) , It has been acknowledged there is shared usage between local and London area users of GB7WL and would be a natural fit on TG801.
3. TG803 will be retired. As all these repeaters now fall into tg801 area. If Tg801 is in used TG802 can be used or alternatively you can use TG80-84.
We feel that these changes will encourage more usage and will make operating while mobile a lot easier. As a reminder users now have the option of 5 UA talk groups (TG80 to 84) should they wish to move off TG801. Also for those which use local TG9 on their repeater there are hold off timers already in place which will stop TG801 interrupting your QSO.
No codeplug changes should be required by users of the existing Metro West repeaters. Those which use GB7WL have the option to add TG801, although we have received feedback that most users already were using TG801 as a UA already. TG803 can be removed whenever you next update your codeplug.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact admins@opendmr.net."
GB7SK (Leicester) & GB7RE (Retford) also have TG801 as "always on" in order to try draw in some traffic to those areas.
As some may recall, the same was done with GB7DS (Norwich) back in it's start up period until the East England region developed.
Is this TG on slot 1 or slot 2?

Peter King: Giants Will Be 'Hard To Beat' In Super Bowl
By Ed Valentine@Valentine_Ed Jan 23, 2012, 9:42am EST
Share All sharing options for: Peter King: Giants Will Be 'Hard To Beat' In Super Bowl
Let's look at some of the national reaction to the New York Giants dramatic 20-17 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game. The victory, of course, propels the Giants into the 2012 Super Bowl
There's something about Manning that's hard to put a finger on, but also very hard to beat. The best quarterbacks are usually the ones who play the best with the most on the line. Manning's had some embarrassing regular season losses. He was swept by the 5-11 Redskins this year, both by double digits. The Giants were routed at home by Seattle and had a four-game losing streak. But when it matters, the kid's been money. Let's look at Manning's last five seasons:
Overall record: 56-32. (Eight more wins than Philadelphia, eight more wins than Dallas.)
Playoff record: 7-1.
Playoff record outside of New Jersey: 6-1.
Super Bowl record: 1-0.
Record against New England: 2-1. (Lost 38-35, won 17-14, won 24-20.)
The Giants don't have the sick regular season record of the Patriots, but they've played better than New England in January and February. They've got a superb pass-rush, and they've got Manning. "We have grit,'' said Tom Coughlin. "We're battle-tested. We've had five straight single-elimination games. Somehow, some way, we've found a way to scratch our way to a win.''

As Obama administration officials pivot like haywire jewelry-box ballerinas to divert attention away from the nationwide Veterans Affairs disgrace, a reader who has been fighting the system urged me to urge Capitol Hill and the American public to stay focused.
Over the past four years, the veteran tells me, he has been under direct VA care for two major line-of-duty-related injuries, including one combat-related injury. One of the medical centers that treated him — or rather mistreated him and maltreated him — is the Coatesville, Pa., VA. It's the same facility where four vets died due to medical malpractice, leading to nearly $1.4 million in settlements to vets' families, according to The Center for Investigative Reporting.
The harrowing cases included two fatal failures to monitor patients, improper management of a psychiatric patient, and wrongful diagnosis or misdiagnosis of a patient.
The vet gets a catch in his voice as he relates a horrible anecdote. After refusing to return to the Coatesville facility and seeking treatment at another VA clinic one day, he became nauseous. Instead of allowing him to lie down on a gurney, a nurse made him vomit outside so he wouldn't soil the bed. He believes the office was open not to treat patients, but as a front for nurses to pick up extra shifts. He has encountered similar degrading and condescending treatment across the VA system.
When he appealed for help and advocacy within the system, the veteran was met with a stone wall of "Not My Job"-ism. Through denials of care, contraindicated medications, repeated mistakes and delays of pharmacy items, he endured callousness, humiliation and stigmatization. "When I get angry, they call me 'crazy.'" Classic blame-the-victim tactics from the VA abusers.


The Summer Triangle, whose brightest stars mark out the constellations of Cygnus, Aquila, and Lyra, continues to dominate the night sky in August, and in the northern hemisphere appears virtually overhead near midnight, with an upside-down version low in the sky also visible from the southern hemisphere. Near the southern horizon this month can be seen the beautiful constellation of Scorpius and its neighboring companion Sagittarius to its east, with the bright planet Saturn found between these two zodiac constellations, and seen up until the late evening.
In the meantime, to the north-east of the star Vega in Lyra can be found the night sky's 5th largest constellation of Hercules, while in the northern sky are the five circumpolar constellations that are ever-present in the northern hemisphere throughout the year, namely Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, and Draco.
Finally, US residents along a 70 mile wide band running from Oregon to North and South Carolina can expect to see a total solar eclipse on August 21st, with those people located elsewhere able to see a partial eclipse as the celestial phenomenon moves from west to east.
August offers lunar observers two opportunities to observe Rupes Recta (the Straight Wall), a major lunar feature that Sir Patrick Moore once described as "Neither is it a wall nor is it straight!" Look for this gentle scarp that poses as a wall 1 or 2 days after the first quarter moon, or one or two days before the third quarter moon. The best views can be had on the evening of August 30th, or on the evening of August 14th.
– Mercury starts the month low above the western horizon, shining at magnitude +0.4, and given clear conditions, the planet will show an angular diameter of about 8 second of arc just after sunset. Binoculars might be needed to see Mercury, but be sure to wait for well after sunset before trying to spot the planet. On August 26th, Mercury will pass between the Sun and Earth and will appear as a tiny black dot as it completes its leisurely transit across the face of the Sun .
– Venus remains visible as a predawn object in the east during August, rising as it does about 3 hours before dawn. While the planet will dim slightly from magnitude -4 to -3.9 due to its angular diameter shrinking from 14.5 to 12.5 seconds of arc, its illumination will increase from 74% to 83%, which explains the planets' fairly constant brightness through the month. Look for Venus shortly before sunrise on August 2nd, when it reaches its highest elevation close to the open star cluster M35 in the constellation Gemini.
– Mars is still close to the Sun, and will therefore remain invisible for all of August.
– Jupiter can still be seen low above the south-western horizon in the constellation Virgo, four months after opposition. As August starts, the King of the planets will set at about 11:30 BST and its angular diameter will reduce from 34 to 32 seconds of arc, while its brightness will dim from magnitude -1.9 to -1.7. Jupiter also starts the month lying about eight degrees to the westward of the star Spica, which reduces to about 4 degrees as the month wears on, to pass Spica on September 11th as it dips southward toward the ecliptic. During the next three years, Jupiter will remain close to the southern horizon, reaching an elevation of only 25 degrees in 2018, and only about 18 degrees or so during 2019 and 2020 before resuming its journey northwards. Nonetheless, given good seeing conditions and clear skies, even small telescopes will easily reveal the planets' equatorial bands during the next three years.
– Saturn reached a point of opposition on July 11th, which means that it still culminates near its highest possible elevation due south soon after sunset. Starting the month at magnitude +0.3, it will dim slightly to magnitude 0.4, while its angular diameter remains fairly constant at about 17 seconds of arc. The planet also ceases its retrograde motion towards Scorpio, and resumes its eastward motion towards Sagittarius on August 25th. Although the ring system is tilted towards our line of sight by more than 26 degrees, and will reach maximum tilt in October this year, Saturn will be only about 17 degrees or so above the horizon when it is due south. At this low elevation it may become difficult to obtain clear views of the ring system, so using an atmospheric dispersion corrector is recommended.
August sees one meteor shower, the Perseids, which peaks on the mornings of August 12th and 13th. Given clear skies, northern observers can expect to see about 50 or so meteors per hour originating from a point between the constellations Perseus and Cassiopeia in the hours before dawn on August 12th. This year however, a waning gibbous moon will rise well before midnight, meaning that the best views of the shower can be had before moon rise, although many meteors may be washed out by the moon's glare.
The constellations Cygnus, Ursa Major, Hercules and Virgo are still prominent in the northern hemisphere, and all of these constellations are home to many easy targets for both binoculars and small telescopes, which can be found by following their links. In addition, the constellation Perseus contains several open star clusters that might be worth observing at this time of year, including NGC 869/NGC 884.
NGC 869 is the western-most of the two clusters shown in this image, in which north is up. Collectively, the two clusters are also known as the Double Cluster; with the other cluster designated NGC 884. NGC 869 is thought to be about 13 billion years old, while NGC 884 is a little younger, with an estimated age of about 12.5 billion years. The two clusters are both members of the Perseus OB1 association and physically very close, being separated by only a few hundred light years. Look for this spectacular sight just before dawn at low power, when the pair of clusters is at their highest elevation above the north-eastern horizon. For observers in latitudes that take in southern England, the two clusters become visible at about 28 degrees above the north-eastern horizon at about 22:45 BST.

Nearly 70 percent of Beauty imagery in CVS Pharmacy locations nationwide will be CVS Beauty Mark compliant[1]
Key national brand partners including Neutrogena, COVERGIRL, Olay and Revlon embrace unaltered beauty for new 2019 Campaigns
WOONSOCKET, RI, January 24, 2019 – CVS Pharmacy, the retail division of CVS Health (NYSE: CVS), today announced significant progress toward the goal of full transparency for all of its beauty imagery by the end of 2020 and its efforts to create new industry standards for post-production alterations of beauty imagery. Just one year after the Company made the commitment to create new standards for post-production alterations of beauty imagery, nearly 70 percent of beauty imagery in CVS Pharmacy locations nationwide will be CVS Beauty Mark compliant.
First announced in January 2018, the CVS Beauty Mark initiative was introduced to lead positive change around transparency in beauty in order to educate customers on the difference between authentic and digitally altered imagery.
At an event at the CVS Pharmacy in Times Square today, the Company revealed the first look at its updated beauty aisles and celebrated the leadership of the brand partners that joined in the effort over the past year to strive for transparency for beauty imagery. CVS Executives were joined by key brand partner executives at the event and by COVERGIRL Ayesha Curry, who appears digitally unaltered in a campaign image for COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstick. Additionally, Neutrogena Brand Ambassador, Kerry Washington, and Revlon Brand Ambassador, Ashley Graham, as well as other influential brand ambassadors also appear digitally unaltered in their images as part of their respective new campaigns.
"As a purpose-led health care company as well as the second largest beauty retailer in the country, we want the millions of customers that visit CVS Pharmacy locations each day to see a more authentic and diverse representation of beauty," said Kevin Hourican, president of CVS Pharmacy. "We applaud the brand partners that truly embraced this initiative and helped us in taking significant steps forward in our effort to change an industry standard that has an impact on the health and self-esteem of our mutual customers."
Brand partners throughout the beauty industry that have made the commitment to work together to reach the goal of full beauty imagery transparency by the end of 2020 include Neutrogena, COVERGIRL, Revlon, Olay, Almay, Aveeno, Rimmel, JOAH, L'Oreal, Maybelline, Unilever, Burt's Bees and Physician's Formula.
In addition to the beauty imagery in CVS Pharmacy locations, all beauty imagery, including brand partner imagery, used on www.CVS.com, and in all marketing to customers, including on social media and for external advertising and promotions, reflects the CVS Beauty Mark commitment. These channels reach more than 100 million consumers each year. In addition, CVS Pharmacy has instituted a contractual requirement for all of its beauty influencer partners to create and share only imagery that has not been digitally altered and does not use social filters.
"From TV to social media to walking retail aisles searching for a beauty product, Americans, particularly young women, are influenced by media portraying an unrealistic representation of beauty, leading to negative feelings about their own appearance," said Dr. Tochi Iroku-Malize, a practicing family physician in Bay Shore, New York, and member of the American Academy of Family Physicians Board of Directors. "Research shows that exposure to altered media is linked to poor self-image, and that dissatisfaction can lead to critical health concerns. Working to reduce altered imagery from beauty campaigns and addressing this issue at the point of purchase is a great first step to improve how young people feel about their appearance."
CVS Pharmacy is proud to support Girls Inc. in their mission to help all girls become strong, smart and bold in celebration of the CVS Beauty Mark initiative. During select weeks in February, with the purchase of select Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble and L'Oreal beauty products, a $1 donation will be made to Girls Inc., up to $300,000 collectively for the entire promotion period. Learn complete promotion details, including offer periods and participating products at www.cvs.com/beautymark.
"The mission of Girls Inc. is to inspire all girls to be strong, smart and bold. Foundational to this work is ensuring girls have the skills and knowledge to critically analyze the messages and images they receive daily and reinforcing the importance of valuing their whole selves. The commitment CVS Pharmacy has made through the Beauty Mark initiative aligns perfectly to our mission and sends a powerfully positive message to girls that beauty comes in all forms and is a reflection of every part of who they are and what makes them unique," said Judy Vredenburgh, Girls Inc., president and CEO.
CVS Pharmacy also partnered with lifestyle experts Sara and Erin Foster to create a limited-edition t-shirt that celebrates unaltered imagery and the CVS Beauty Mark. The Sara & Erin x CVS "Sans Retouching" t-shirt will be available for purchase on www.cvs.com/beautymark beginning January 24, 2019 with 100% of the proceeds also supporting Girls Inc.
To raise awareness about the CVS Beauty Mark and the importance of a more authentic and transparent beauty imagery standard, CVS Pharmacy is encouraging consumers to post an unfiltered and unaltered picture of themselves on their social media channels with the hashtag #beautyunaltered.
CVS Health has previously made significant changes in its retail stores with the health of its customers in mind, such as ending the sale of tobacco products, delivering healthier food options throughout CVS Pharmacy stores and committing to remove parabens, phthalates and the most prevalent formaldehyde donors from our store brand beauty and personal care items by the end of this year.

We are back to the East Coast from all our travels across America. It's time to get serious about school again. (Yes, I'm saying that approximately 17.5 days before Christmas).
I recently found these wonderful books for my reluctant readers, so I thought I'd share for today's post. Benaiah was dragging his feet when he began this book but now he loves it. They encourage lots of reading time, but also art, logic, a little bit of writing and even "video" days. It's been a lot of fun for him! Unlike some of his other subjects, he gets absolutely absorbed in this book. I'm really thankful for that these busy and sometimes difficult days.

I start to write a feature on a place I visited Saturday.
On paper, I see the words I type. They are mine. Indisputably, unequivocally, mine. I see them in my voice.
In my head, when I read them, I imagine hearing Rinaldi.
Perhaps this is a flaw in my creative process.
That I don't see myself as fully capable of telling such heartbreaking, inspiring stories.
That I don't believe an employer will ever truly like me enough to trust me with such things.
and a knack for inventing new synonyms for self-deprecation.
Then again, maybe it's something else.
Maybe it's a sign of timid confidence, but confidence.
but whose whisper is loud enough to silence a combusting conference room.
but for what might have been mere seconds in the development of a writer.
as sandcastles among the masses.
is for me to be silent.
Perhaps not with a proclamation. a whisper.

Law Students Sue When Bar Exam Software Fails
Law students taking the bar exam have it tough: Three years hitting the books. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition. And all of it, potentially wasted with a few failed attempts at the dreaded state-administered test.
So in late July, with one day of the grueling session behind them, thousands of law students were surprised to find that they couldn't upload their answers using the software they purchased from Florida-based ExamSoft Worldwide Inc.
Third-year law students with mountains of debt were perhaps not the best crowd to tick off.
They sued. And they sued. And they sued.
"On the long list of things about which exam takers should be worried, wondering whether they will be able to turn in their exams for grading should be at the very bottom," according to a lawsuit filed in Washington state. "It is hard to imagine anything more basic in an exam than being able to turn it in for grading."
In Northern California, Eastern Washington and Illinois, students burned by the botched test claimed direct harm and damage to their future earnings. They're also seeking class action status and looking for other students harmed by the failed test.
The company, through a public relations agency, declined to comment on the litigation.
No one yet knows whether a student failed the bar because of the upload errors. One San Francisco plaintiff said she was still suffering because she hadn't gotten a clear answer by the time she sued on Aug. 8.

Lawyer's suspension includes lifetime ban on representing women
Ira Mayo was accused in two prior ethics cases, according to the Connecticut Law Tribune. In the first he was suspended for 15 months after he was accused of making unwanted advances to female clients referred to him by a group for abused women, the story says. In the second, he was banned from representing women in family law or domestic violence cases after he was accused of offering to waive attorney fees in exchange for a massage.


Wow, we didn't see this one coming!
Ed Sheeran has actually gotten involved in the Taylor/Nicki feud. Everybody knows that Ed and Taylor are best friends forever so, when Buzzfeed UK ran an article quoting Ed Sheeran in the Telegraph, the "Thinking Out Loud" singer called foul.
I think the Minaj point is a bit redundant. Her point is that you have to be skinny and white to get a Video of the Year nomination, but Beyoncé's '7/11' is in there, and that is celebrating the female figure in every form.
Well that's obviously way less cute than the stuff below.
Obviously something got in the water supply last night because, since MTV announced their VMA nominations, everyone has been feuding. Either that, or Mercury has quietly gone intro retrograde.
After things kicked off with Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj, everyone secretly wished they were a part of the action. Bruno Mars wished it so much that he started his own mini feud with Ed Sheeran.
Popbuzz has obtained exclusive footage of the intense fight.
Hopefully the pair patch things up quickly. The drama is too much to take!

The Rakuten Group has adopted Binding Corporate Rules, which define its global data protection policy with regard to international transfers of personal data. The purpose of these rules is to ensure that the same level of protection as in the European Union is provided to employees and clients of Rakuten when their personal data are transferred to entities within the same group located outside of the EU.
BCR are considered as appropriate safeguards in terms of data protection and thus can be used as a solution for multinational companies like Rakuten that need to do a lot of international transfers of personal data. Rakuten Inc is an Internet service company. The group's international headquarters are in Japan and their European headquarters are based in Luxembourg.
For over a year, Rakuten has cooperated with the CNPD, as the lead authority, under the mutual recognition procedure with data protection authorities from seven other European countries where the group is established (Germany, Austria, Spain, Estonia, France, Ireland and the United Kingdom). These authorities have approved the results obtained by the CNPD.

José María Orberá y Carrión (* 6. November 1827 in Valencia, Spanien; † 23. November 1886) war ein spanischer Geistlicher und römisch-katholischer Bischof von Almería in Spanien.

Leben
José María Orberá y Carrión empfing am 1. Dezember 1850 die Priesterweihe. Während der Vakanz des Erzbistums Santiago de Cuba ab 1868 war er als Kapitularvikar bestellt. Weil er sich einer Bischofsernennung durch die spanische Regierung widersetzte, wurde er gemeinsam mit seinem Sekretär Ciriaco Sancha verhaftet und erst 1874 freigelassen.

Orberá wurde von Papst Pius IX. am 23. September 1875 zum Bischof von Almería ernannt. Die Bischofsweihe spendete ihm der Erzbischof von Toledo, Kardinal Juan de la Cruz Ignacio Moreno y Maisonave am 12. März 1876; Mitkonsekratoren waren Pedro José Sánchez Carrascosa y Carrión, Bischof von Ávila, und José Oliver y Hurtado, Bischof von Pamplona.

Man who stabbed colleague over money, escapes with one-year jail
By Bhavna Uchil
He had injured the victim severely and fled to Varanasi
A 23-year-old labourer who had stabbed his colleague, a driver in the company, over a money matter, was sentenced by a sessions court in South Mumbai to one-year rigorous imprisonment and fined Rs. 5,000.
The incident took place in the late evening hours of a day in September 2015. The victim, Jayant Chaudhary used to work as a driver for a small delivery firm in Worli, in which his assaulter Mumtaz Shaikh had been working as a loader for the past seven to eight months at a monthly pay of Rs. 7,000. The owner of the firm had delegated the work of managing the salaries of the workmen to the Chaudhary.
According to the prosecution, Chaudhary had on earlier occassions given the salary in advance to Shaikh when he was in need of money. On the fateful day, Chaudhary received a call from Shaikh asking him his whereabouts. Chaudhary replied that he was in the company godown. In a few minutes, Shaikh came to him and asked for his salary in advance. When, Chaudhary told him that he will ask the owners' permission on the matter and then give Shaikh the money the next day, an angry Shaikh started insisting that he wanted the money immediately and started quarelling. When Chaudhary refused to give in, Shaikh took a knife out of his pant pocket and stabbed Chaudhary twice on the chest. When Chaudhary tried to shield himself with his arm, Shaikh stabbed him on his hand too and fled from the spot.
Hearing the commotion, people in the neighbourhood, some of whom were Chaudhary's friends, gathered and finding him severely injured and bleeding, took him to the hospital. Chaudhary had to take treatment in the hospital for five to six days for a deep open wound on his chest as well as a nerve injury for which he had to undergo an operation.
While the police had booked Shaikh under the charge of attempt to murder under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), yesterday additional sessions judge S.M. Bhosale convicted him only under a section of the IPC pertaining to 'voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means' and sections of the Maharashtra Police Act. These sections of the Act pertain to carrying a knife or any article which is capable of being used for causing physical violence and another section pertaining to a person going armed with such an article.
After the crime, Shaikh had escaped to his hometown Varanasi, by train. The police, who got information of this apprehended him, when he got out of the general compartment of the train from Varanasi, with the help of a colleague from the same firm who could identify Shaikh.

Q: Get All Parents Info Up Until Specified Parent I have this html codes example:

                Clicked

From the html codes example above, I want to get all parents' tag name of class target (when receiving click event) down from div with id stophere.
I tried this code:
$(ev.target).parents()
            .map(function() {
            return this.tagName;
            })
            .get()
            .join( ", " );

But it includes all parents' tag names above stophere. While the result I want is only 1 div and 1 h4.
What is the correct way to get all parents of target down from stophere?

A: You can use the parentsUntil method for that
$(ev.target).parentsUntil($('#stophere').parent())

Note that it's non-inclusive, so we pass the parent of #stophere to include that element as well
FIDDLE

A: I don't claim that this is a good solution, but can be used if adeneo's solution is failed in your situation like in my case.
This code is checking whether the traversing limit is containing that limit line itself or not, by using find() method:
    jQuery('html').on("click", function (ev) {
        var elemparentid = jQuery(ev.target).closest("[id]").attr("id");
        var thisparents = jQuery(ev.target).parents()
            .map(function () {
// check if traversing limit is a children of current element or not, by using find() method
            if (jQuery(this).find("#" + elemparentid).length < 1) {
                return this.tagName;
            }
        }).get()
            .join(", ");
        alert(thisparents);
    });

Recently, I got together with three Vietnam vet buddies to tell war stories, talk politics and kind of "Be" to use a movie line from my favorite baseball picture, Bull Durham. Kevin Costner says to his love interest, "I don't want to talk baseball, I just want to be." I understand. With fellow vets, we often simply want to be.
I like to think of vets as a fraternity, especially Vietnam vets. Our usual line is that we fought a war in Vietnam and then we fought one at home. For at least ten years or so, we were virtually silent, reluctant to admit we were Vietnam vets as for some insane view, immediately after Vietnam, vets were identified with the ills of our involvement in Vietnam. For Iraqi vets, they don't have to face this insult as Americans who pay any attention don't want to make the same mistake again. A soldier we understand is just doing his job.
Being a vet doesn't mean that we all think alike but there is the idea of the shared experience and trust me on this: there is nothing like combat that creates comraderie. Although the other night, we didn't see eye to eye on politics or most related subjects, however, we did all agree on one subject; the military is in a mess and we fear for its future. It is an institution that we all loved dearly. And, although most Americans who care today talk about supporting the troops, it is somewhat hollow since so few serve. Most don't even know anyone who is in the military.
During Vietnam, we had the military draft and the country was more connected to the war and to the soldiers. Helped along by the protest movement, most saw Vietnam as something we were all a part of, right or wrong. I, for one, think the protest movement got too much credit for ending the war, still, they were connected. Not so today. We have a Volunteer Army and most people simply see us paying them to fight for us and so it is "next case." A mercenary force? Close. I am a little reluctant to call it mercenary as mercenary denotes a lack of emotion or commitment, at least in my mind's eye. The Voluntary Force is anything but uncommitteed. From where I stand, they are a superb military, well trained and by in large, well equipped. But and a big BUT: unrepresentative of America--a downer in terms of our democracy.
At the very least, we ought to have some sort of National Service. This is truly something in which us old vets totally agree. It doesn't have to be the military, it could be Teach America, Habitat for Humanity, any nonprofit or the person could choose their own service. This is no novel idea, it is on the drawing board by a few folks but where it has no attention is on the National Stage. And, I think that either of the presidential candidates could make alot of money figuratively speaking if they were to choose this path. As a country, we have not been asked to sacrifice at all for a war that is draining us. We believe it is going to catch up to us. And, for four old vet, we see it sooner than later and by not giving America's youth an option to serve hurts them and America. Shame on us.

Forget 4G. Here's what 5G wireless tech will look like
Ericsson CEO Hans Vestberg shares his vision for 5G, which includes smarter networks and, of course, much higher speeds.

LAS VEGAS -- Even as the wireless industry works through its deployment of higher-speed 4G wireless networks, Ericsson CEO Hans Vestberg has his eye on the next "G."

Vestberg shared his vision of 5G, a network that will not only be significantly faster, but much smarter. It's that network intelligence that will better manage the burgeoning trend of the Internet of Things, or the concept that every object can connect to the Internet and talk to each other. Vestberg said he believes this idea can change lives for the better.
"We are seeing the biggest transformation ahead of us," Vestberg said in an interview.
Ericsson, which Gartner pegs as the world's largest telecom gear vendor, benefits from more wireless connections, and Vestberg has been talking about his notion of a connected society for years. Though he doesn't see 5G coming until 2020, Ericsson is already working on the technology.
The move to 4G has been all about speed, but the upgrade to 5G, according to Vestberg, will be more expansive. He said he sees service-aware networks springing up, or networks that are smart enough to understand the situation and context around the connected device.
He gave as an example a person sitting in a self-driving car. A 5G network will have to be smart enough to know that the person in the car will need a higher connection speed going into her smartphone, while the self-driving car will need a connection with lower latency, which speeds up its response time. Or the network will recognize that a device is running low on power and will reduce the number of radio pings to conserve energy.

That lower latency could also provide the wireless backbone for a top surgeon in Paris to remotely perform brain surgery in Russia, he said.
By 2020, 85 percent of the world will have at least a 3G connection, while 60 percent of the world will be on 4G. He said the key to a fully connected society is getting everyone up and running on a consistent network.
The Ericsson booth had a number of examples of novel connected devices. The company partnered with Poc, a Swedish sports gear manufacturer, to create a connected bicycle helmet. Connected cars can sense the bike and automatically hit the brakes to avoid a collision.

It's still in the early stages, and the only car manufacturer involved with this project is Volvo.
But this system only works if every car is connected, which is slowly becoming a reality. Subaru said yesterday that it would bring a 4G LTE connection to select 2016 model cars, following similar deployments by General Motors and Audi. The Internet of Things has been a big topic at the Consumer Electronics Show, with Samsung pledging to connect everything it sells to the Internet within five years.
Once the connections are in place, that's when the fun starts.
"People will come up with ways to innovate," Vestberg said. "It's a total paradigm shift."

After 2011's impressive return to the Deus Ex franchise with Human Revolution, expectations for the next game have been high. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a direct sequel to Human Revolution, starring Adam Jensen again and taking place two years later. An event known as the "Aug Incident" caused mechanically augmented humans to become uncontrollable and violent. This has only helped further prejudice against those who are augmented.
Fans won't have to wait too much longer for this entry in the series, as Deus Ex: Mankind Divided releases on August 23, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The standard version will retail at the normal price of $59.99, and has a Day One Edition with some DLC goodies. A Collector's Edition of the game will also be available for $140 on Xbox One and PS4. This package includes; all of the DLC from the Day One Edition, a collectible steel book with the game, a 48-page art book and a 9″ Adam Jensen figurine.
In addition to the main game, Square Enix will be releasing the mobile spinoff Deus Ex GO. This title will release over the summer close to Mankind Divided, and takes the same turn-based puzzle gameplay we've seen in both Lara Croft GO and Hitman GO.
For more on Deus Ex: Mankind Divided take a look at our impressions of the game from E3 here.

Twitter to add a way to 'memorialize' accounts for deceased users before removing inactive ones

Twitter has changed its tune regarding inactive accounts after receiving a lot of user feedback: It will now be developing a way to "memorialize" user accounts for those who have passed away, before proceeding with a plan it confirmed this week to deactivate accounts that are inactive in order to "present more accurate, credible information" on the service.
To the company's credit, it reacted swiftly after receiving a significant amount of negative feedback on this move, and it seems like the case of deceased users simply wasn't considered in the decision to proceed with terminating dormant accounts.
After Twitter confirmed the inactive account (those that haven't tweeted in more than six months) cleanup on Tuesday, a number of users noted that this would also have the effect of erasing the content of accounts whose owners have passed away. TechCrunch alum Drew Olanoff wrote about this impact from a personal perspective, asking Twitter to reconsider their move in light of the human impact and potential emotional cost.
In a thread today detailing their new thinking around inactive accounts, Twitter explained that its current inactive account policy has actually always been in place, but that they haven't been diligent about enforcing it. They're going to begin doing so in the European Union partly in accordance with local privacy laws, citing GDPR specifically. But the company also says it will now not be removing any inactive accounts before first implementing a way for inactive accounts belonging to deceased users to be "memorialized," which presumably means preserving their content.
Twitter went on to say that it might expand or refine its inactive account policy to ensure it works with global privacy regulations, but will be sure to communicate these changes broadly before they go into effect.
It's not yet clear what Twitter will do to offer this 'memorialization' of accounts, but there is some precedent they can look to for cues: Facebook has a 'memorialized accounts' feature that it introduced for similar reasons.

'He was full of life and exuberant': Utah Shakespeare Festival founder Fred Adams dies at 89
A pioneer in Utah's arts scene, Adams founded festival in 1961 with late wife Barbara Gaddie Adams

SHARE 'He was full of life and exuberant': Utah Shakespeare Festival founder Fred Adams dies at 89

Stuart Johnson, Deseret News
CEDAR CITY — A 7-foot-2 bronze statue of Fred Adams stands in Cedar City. It shows Adams' arms outstretched, welcoming people to a festival that transformed a tiny Utah town into a major arts destination.
The Utah Shakespeare Festival founder died Thursday morning at the age of 89, and people have started bringing flowers to that statue, paying their respects to the man who added so much to Utah's arts community.
A pioneer in Utah's arts scene, Adams founded the festival in 1961 with his late wife, Barbara Gaddie Adams. A big inspiration in creating the festival — aside from boosting Cedar City's economy and providing activities for summer tourists — was to build upon the arts legacy that Utah's earliest pioneers left behind.
"Right from the beginning, when it was the state of Deseret, Brigham Young was promoting quality theater," Adams previously told the Deseret News. "I think probably as important as any (reason for founding the festival) was to keep alive this passion that the early settlers had in the arts, in classical music, in classical literature and especially in the writings of William Shakespeare."
Beginning with a budget of $1,000 and 3,000 paid admissions, Adams substantially expanded the festival's annual budget — today it sits at $8 million — and transformed the festival into a renowned event that 100,000 people from all over attend.
The festival received the Tony Award for outstanding regional theater in 2000 and has caught the attention of publications across the country, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times.
"This is saying to the nation that the USF is worthy of national attention, and we've worked so long for that," Adams told the said shortly after the festival received the Tony Award.
In our opinion: Fred Adams' Shakespeare Festival vision arrives
But the festival's many successes aren't the first thing that comes to mind when artistic director Brian Vaughn thinks of Adams.
"All of his achievements, as far as his theater accomplishments and the impact he's made on the arts in Utah, they pale in comparison to his generosity and spirit as a human being," Vaughn told the Deseret News Thursday. "I think that's why he was so successful as a leader in the arts because he understood humanity, and it was evident in how he lived his life, which was with love and kindness and an open, welcoming spirit."
Vaughn was a student of Adams at Southern Utah University (Adams taught at the school from 1959 to 1997). It didn't take long for Vaughn to learn that Adams had a "wild wardrobe," but from his teacher he also learned the importance of being creative and expressing individuality.
"He was full of life and exuberant. Much like he ran his seminars for the Shakespeare Festival, he ran his classroom the same way, which was sometimes full of what I call 'Fred facts' in that you never knew if it was true or false," Vaughn said with a laugh. "But he was a showman … always supportive, always brought out the best in you."
Beyond being the festival's founder, Adams was a driving force who directed all three plays during the festival's first season in 1962 — "The Taming of the Shrew," "Hamlet" and "The Merchant of Venice." He also acted in the festival. Vaughn, who played opposite Adams in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" in 1995, still laughs at how Adams would remove his hairpiece at the beginning of the show.
Adams was the primary fundraiser and producer for the festival, leading to the efforts to build the company's first permanent building — the Adams Memorial Shakespeare Theatre that opened in 1977 and was the festival's home every summer through 2015.

Adams also played a big role in building the Randall L. Jones Theatre in 1989 and the rest of the Beverley Taylor Sorenson Center for the Arts in 2016. Even after retiring from his leadership role in 2005, Adams could be seen on campus running seminars and mingling with the guests.
Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert, who presented the Governor's Award in the Humanities to Adams in 2010, expressed his admiration for Adams following the news of his death.
"Fred was a genius," he said in a statement. "He truly was the visionary behind the Utah Shakespeare Festival, which is beloved by both our state and our nation. Fred was one of a kind, and he will be sorely missed."
Born on Jan. 30, 1931, in Cedar City, Adams earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Brigham Young University in theater arts and Russian. During the Korean War, he served in the U.S. Army from 1952 to 1954 and served a three-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Finland from 1955 to 1957.
He was named professor emeritus upon retiring from SUU. And although he retired from leading the festival, Adams remained active in directing, acting and fundraising. He still came to his office nearly every day, continuing to mentor countless students, artists and administrators.
"I got to know Fred not only as a mentor and an organizational leader, but as a friend who I'll miss profoundly," Frank Mack, the festival's executive producer, said in a statement. "However, I'm dedicated, along with the entire festival community, to preserving and advancing his legacy and vision. His invention of the Utah Shakespeare Festival is a great innovation that forever changed the destiny of the state of Utah, Cedar City, and the country."
'What's in a name?': Utah Shakespeare Festival's offerings go far beyond its namesake's plays
The bronze replica of Adams, sculpted by Stanley J. Watts, was dedicated in 2006. Even the cold, snowy weather couldn't keep people from visiting and paying their respects Thursday.
"Fred Adams is a true hero, not only to me personally but to the state of Utah as a whole," said Evan J. Vickers, Utah Senate majority leader, in a statement. "He has done the work of 10 men and managed to accomplish it in just one lifetime. We are all indebted to him for the amazing things he has done for us. He will truly be missed, but his memory and legacy will last forever."
Adams' family has not yet announced funeral plans. A celebration of his life will be scheduled for sometime in the near future. Adams asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Utah Shakespeare Festival.
