Años después en junio del 2010, la banda realiza su primera gira visitando al continente europeo, los cinco países que visitó fueron: Francia, Alemania, España, Italia y Suiza. La aceptación de la gente fue espléndida, llegando a ser escuchados por más de treinta mil personas a lo largo de toda su gira, obteniendo el premio a la mejor banda internacional en el festival FIMU en Francia.

En noviembre del 2012, Papá Changó lanza su segundo álbum discográfico que se titula «No Money No Play», en donde se sigue manteniendo la fusión con su base reggae, pero con la añadidura de nuevos ritmos caribeños. Cuenta con la participación de importantes y legendarias agrupaciones de sur y Centro América, también en el continente europeo. Doctor Krápula (Colombia), Los Rabanes (Panamá), Canteca de Macao (España), Quique Neira (Chile), Skarpion (Islas Granadinas) y Mario Siperman (Argentina) teniendo como principal premisa el intercambio músico-cultural y lograr convenios con dichos países.

El lanzamiento tuvo un lugar en el Parque de la Carolina de Quito con una asistencia de aproximadamente quince mil personas y tuvo la colaboración de Los Rabanes y de Quique Neira, además fue utilizado como escenario para la grabación de su primer videoclip en vivo, del que fue su primer sencillo titulado «Demonio Danzón» (con Doctor Krápula)

En el 2013, lanzan un sencillo titulado «Yo no quiero tu amor», que cuenta con un featuring con la banda panameña Los Rabanes. Este tema llegó al puesto número 1 de los charts del Ecuador y Centroamérica. El music video de este promocional llegó a ser un verdadero Boom, fue una tendencia en las redes sociales en su noche de lanzamiento.

Para el 2014, lo consideraron un año de campañas publicitarias y composiciones, Papá Changó fue imagen de la marca PEPSI a nivel nacional, componiendo un tema musical para la campaña publicitaria.

A finales de este año lanzan el vídeo «I Love You» junto a Quique Neira, una de las voces más importantes del reggae latino, también realizan un concierto acústico para la celebración de sus 10 años de trayectoria de sus shows.

Durante el año 2015, Papá Changó se interna a componer su próximo sencillo y comienza a realizar estrategias de lanzamiento internacional de su carrera musical. En este mismo año lanza el sencillo «No quiero enamorarme nunca más», que logró posicionarse como uno de los temas más conocidos de la agrupación musical.

A partir del año 2016 empieza la preparación para el lanzamiento de una campaña basada en el lanzamiento de singles, denominada «IsBack» y en abril de 2018 lanzan el primer sencillo denominado «1983-Niña», una canción con un aire tropical, que emula la música bailable de los ochenta, la misma que fue producida por Juancho Valencia músico colombiano de la agrupación Puerto Candelaria, mezclada y masterizada por Merlín Producciones en Medellín, Colombia.

Q: fill formulaes across using vba Trying to write a code that adds numbers from cells in a column and repeat until there are no values in the following columns.
I can get the code to sum the first column and place the result under the last value, but can't get it to continue across the row.
   Sub Button1_Click()

   Range("b1").Select
   ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Select
   Range("b1").Select
   ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Select
   Dim vStartRow As Integer
   vStartRow = 2
   Dim vEndRow As Integer
   vEndRow = ActiveCell.Row
   Cells(vEndRow + 1, 2).Formula = "=sum(b" & vStartRow & ":b" &
   vEndRow & ")"
   End Sub

e.g.
        Sales1  Sales2  Sales3  Sales4
Thi     15      1       78      2
Helena  23      3       15      3
Gerard  30      5       66      4
Tom     18      16      20      5
Harry   20      27      28      6
Pete    16      36      45      7
Sam     45      41      16      8
John    27      20      23      9
Kerry   16      65      96      10
Fred    1       2       3       11
Sue     4       5       6       12
Dave    7       8       9       13
Emma    10      11      12      14
       232

The code must continue to run and do a sum, until there are no values in the next column. any help will be appreciated.

A: You could have the code determine the amount of columns used, and loop through them, or set them manually.
This is an example, where excel will automatically count the columns.
Then it will count the amount of people, assuming that you want the totals on the same row.
If you want to count the rows of every column individually, just move the RowLenght to the first part of the loop, and change the 1 to i.
I've tried to incorporate your original idea as much as possible, and we have two variables that we can set manually StartRow and StartColumn.
Sub Button1_Click()
Dim ColumnLenght As Long, RowLenght As Long, i As Long, ColumnLetter As String, StartRow As Long, StartColumn As Long

ColumnLenght = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
RowLenght = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
StartRow = 2
StartColumn = 2

For i = StartColumn To ColumnLenght
    ColumnLetter = Split(Cells(1, i).Address, "$")(1)
    Cells(RowLenght + 1, i).Formula = "=sum(" & ColumnLetter & StartRow & ":" & ColumnLetter & RowLenght & ")"
Next i

End Sub

Here is the code in action:

There is another remarkable prophecy-in Genesis-concerning the rulership of the tribe of Judah.
In 6-7 A.D., King Herod's son and successor, Herod Archelaus, was dethroned and banished to Vienna, a city in Gaul. Archelaus was the second son of Herod the Great.6 The older son, Herod Antipater, was murdered by Herod the Great, along with other family members. (It was quipped at the time that it was safer to be a dog in that household than a member of the family!) Archelaus' mother was a Samaritan (1/4 or less of Jewish blood) and was never accepted. After the death of Herod (4 B.C.?), Archelaus had been placed over Judea as "Entharch" by Caesar Augustus. Broadly rejected, he was removed in 6-7 A.D.
When the members of the Sanhedrin found themselves deprived of their right over life and death, they covered their heads with ashes and their bodies with sackcloth, and bemoaned, "Woe unto us for the scepter has departed from Judah and the Messiah has not come!"10 They actually thought that the Torah, the Word of God, had failed! They should have known better.
This verse not only identifies the significance of Bethlehem, it also points to His eventual ruler-ship, and it also mentions His preexistence.
At this moment, Jesus is sitting on His Father's Throne. The question is, will He ever sit on David's throne? Will the promise that Gabriel announced to Mary also be fulfilled? Of course. And much of what He is about to do is also predicted with the same accuracy.
As we enter the new year, we each will struggle to remember to write 2000 when we date our checks. The entire world measures its calendar from that singular, incomparable event.
The world will soon be in for a series of surprises! The world wishes it could go on without the reactionary Christians; God will soon give them what they want.
And it may come sooner than any of us realize. So as we reflect on the prospects of the coming year, let us all remember that, fundamentally, we are neither Republicans nor Democrats: we are monarchists! We look for our Coming King !
Merry Christmas and Happy New Millennium!

Thanksgiving is my favorite North American holiday by far. It doesn't make new or poor Americans feel as left out as some of the other festival days. During winter break, why did the fat dude in red bring presents for everybody in my class except me?
Duck For Turkey Day, a new picture book from Albert Whitman & Co by Jacqueline Jules, illustrated by Kathryn Mitter, tells the story of Tuyet, a Vietnamese-American girl who worries about eating duck on "Turkey Day." A chorus of classmates reassures Tuyet at the end of the book, describing a diversity of food eaten at their tables as they too celebrated America's day of gratitude with their families.
The book is wonderful choice for classrooms and families this Thanksgiving. School Library Journal says, "This sweet tale is written in straightforward prose and provides a brief glimpse of another culture. Mitter's bright illustrations accented with cozy details draw readers into Tuyet's happy home and enhance the story's heartwarming message."
I always think it's funny when Indians celebrate Thanksgiving. I mean, sure, the Indians and Pilgrims were best friends during that First Thanksgiving, but a few years later, the Pilgrims were shooting Indians.
So I'm never quite sure why we eat turkey like everybody else.
"Hey, Dad," I said. "What do Indians have to be so thankful for?"
"We should give thanks that they didn't kill all of us."
We laughed like crazy. It was a good day. Dad was sober. Mom was getting ready to nap. Grandma was already napping.
To find books and resources recommended by Indians about Thanksgiving, visit Oyate, "a Native organization working to see that our lives and histories are portrayed honestly, and so that all people will know our stories belong to us." I've included them below.


When I talked to Rob about HR calling me and I already had a job interview he was somewhat amazed. Rob thought I was way over-qualified for the job in question and that I might not get hired, but that E, the manager of the department, said he didn't care. He wants me for the position.
I have the feeling I have the job already.
I set up my client Chris with DNS on his server so he can handle DNS himself and went through the trouble of re-registering his domains to use his server for primary, and his hosting company for secondary.
But it seems that his hosting company, being a Microsoft Solutions Company that it is, uses Microsoft for everything, including DNS.
And the Microsoft DNS server can't (or won't, which amounts to the same thing really) do secondary DNS. And of course they add primary records with the wrong IP address for his domains.
That kind of defeats the purpose of them handing secondary DNS if they can't query my client's DNS server for the info.

About this sight
The Osaka Castle, one of Japan's Top 100 Castles, with its five tiers, 40m height and impressive rock wall comprising 40,000 rocks, is a symbol of Osaka not to be missed. It is surrounded by a moat and a sprawling 106ha castle park, and the castle and its surroundings make for a popular sakura cherry blossom and autumn leaf hunting venue.
Built at the end of the 16th century by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the warlord who unified the whole of Japan under his rule, the castle was burnt down several times in the 17th century during a series of wars, and the castle keep reconstructed in the 20th century.
During the spring sakura season, taking an Aqua Liner water bus ride around the castle which gives you another perspective of the castle and a spectacularly beautiful view of rows of sakura trees lining the river, comes highly recommended.
While the castle can be fully enjoyed from its façade, going inside its 7 storeys will allow you to see weapons, armours and items used in daily life from the Edo era ad before. During the summer, the spectacular Tenjin-matsuri Festival, one of the three largest summer festivals in Japan which takes place both on land and in the river, takes place around the castle.

Tre domande su Fedora, una nuova realtà associativa dell'Apudmontem.
Lo scorso sette settembre 2013 presso l'enoteca Prosit in via della Libertà con un aperitivo inaugurale ha visto la luce Fedora, un'associazione nata dalla volontà di Gaetano Fimiani, Orlando Di Marino e Antonio Pisano, volta alla promozione dell'alta cultura, delle buone letture e delle tradizioni storiche dell'Apudmontem. Con la nostra redazione eravamo presenti e abbiamo rivolto una breve intervista al prof. Gaetano Fimiani.
• Prof. Fimiani, vuole raccontare ai nostri lettori cosa vi ha spinto a fondare questa nuova associazione?
"In ogni epoca qualcuno, guardando Fedora qual era, aveva immaginato il modo di farne la città ideale, ma mentre costruiva il suo modello in miniatura già Fedora non era più la stessa di prima, e quello che fino a ieri era stato un suo possibile futuro ormai era solo un giocattolo in una sfera di vetro".
• Di che cosa vi occuperete in concreto?
«Senza dubbio, anche se il programma concreto sarà sviluppato attraverso un confronto democratico con tutti gli aderenti che si svolgerà in forma pubblica alla fine del mese di ottobre. Fedora, che ha già avuto la fortuna di incontrare altre realtà fortemente rappresentative come in primis l'associazione Rosa Aliberti, animata dalla sensibilità umana del suo presidente Mario Pagano, vuole sviluppare un nuovo concetto del fare e dell'essere associazione. Tenterò di spiegarmi meglio. Ritengo di essere una persona che ha accettato per cultura e formazione la sfida del dialogo e lo stesso posso affermare senza dubbi per i miei due compagni di viaggi Antonio Pisano e Orlando Di Marino. La mia storia personale mi fa vivere il presente con la consapevolezza di avere molto da ammirare in ogni persona e che ogni persona non va delusa.
"Il lato peggiore del muro è quello di sviluppare in alcune persone un atteggiamento da difensore del muro, di creare una mentalità per la quale il mondo è attraversato da un muro che lo divide in dentro e fuori: fuori ci sono i cattivi e gli inferiori, dentro i buoni e i superiori".
Cosicché, per quanto importanti, queste battaglie non restituiscono un umanesimo in termini di integralità antropologica e integrazione assiologica: un umanesimo che vuole valorizzare tutto l'uomo e dunque essere rispettoso della integralità della persona umana. Questo percorso trova un senso attraverso la dimensione liberatoria della cultura e dell'arte: ciò significa decidere di attivare la coltivazione del gusto e del bello e permettere a tutti di acquisire la capacità di assegnare valore a beni dotati di forte contenuto simbolico e valoriale. Se s'incrementano i consumi culturali, s'incrementa anche la propensione al consumo e si mette in movimento un circuito virtuoso che porta a produrre altra cultura e a farne crescere la domanda a beneficio di tutti.

Q: Color Literal gives different colors than UIColor init (I can't compare them) I am creating colors in two ways in my codebase: using color literals and with UIColor(red:green:blue:) initializer. Those colors look the same but when I try to compare them, they have slightly different components.
To have a handy init that accepts integers instead of floating numbers I have an extension:
extension UIColor {

    convenience init(red: Int, green: Int, blue: Int) {
        self.init(red: CGFloat(red)/255.0, green: CGFloat(green)/255.0, blue: CGFloat(blue)/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
    }
}

My test fails when I try to test if colors are the same:
func testColorComparision() {
    let literalColor = #colorLiteral(red: 1, green: 0.5764705882, blue: 0, alpha: 1) // This was a picked-up color "tangerine" rgb(255,147,0)
    let rgbColor = UIColor(red: 255, green: 147, blue: 0)
    XCTAssertEqual(literalColor, rgbColor) // Colors are not the same!
}

A: It turns out that I had a mistake in my extension code. UIColor(red:green:blue:) accepts CGFloats but those CGFloats should be numbers before 64-bit era. CGFloat is represented in float in 32-bit architectures but as double in 64-bit architectures. However, components of UIColors are 32-bit numbers. I modified my extension:
extension UIColor {

    convenience init(red: Int, green: Int, blue: Int) {
        self.init(red: CGFloat(Float(red)/255.0), green: CGFloat(Float(green)/255.0), blue: CGFloat(Float(blue)/255.0), alpha: 1.0)
    }
}

And the test passed. The first cast is to have a number as Float, the second one is to get CGFloat number accepted by the init.


Hey Guys! Today I'm reviewing the audiobook Next Stop Chancey by Kay Dew Shostak and narrated by Suzanne Barbetta!
If you love small town stories that take place in the South then this is a story for you. I thought the characters were cute and funny and that the author wrote something thoroughly engaging. I love these small town stories. I always find them to be both simple, but amazing at the same time. I would give this story a 4.5/5 stars.
What really made the book for me was Barbetta's narration. She was able to make the words turn into a film right in my head! She has a wonderfully smooth voice that just works well with this type of story. I would love to listen to another book with her as a narrator. I would give this audio experience a 5/5!!
When did you know you wanted to be an audiobook narrator? When I was a kid, I was sickly and I LOVED reading. It was my great escape, a way to go anywhere. My younger sister didn't enjoy reading and I thought that was a shame so I picked out a Nancy Drew book one day and read it to her to try to entice her to read. And it worked! Once I became a narrator, she reminded me of this. So – I kind of feel like this is something I wanted to do since I was a teenager, before I know this could be a career.
How did you wind up narrating audiobooks? Was it always your goal or was it something you stumbled into by chance? Already a theater and indie film actress, I decided to try commercial VO. I created a demo and booked some spots, but decided that I the form or VO that really intrigued me was audiobooks. As a voracious reader, it seemed like a natural step. So I went to the E.I.F. VO Lab at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation and brought in an excerpt from a book. The engineer asked me if I was auditioning for audiobooks and I told her I wasn't. She told me I SHOULD be. She asked if I worked through ACX and I told her no because I had no equipment or training to self-record. She told me not to let that stop me and she walked me through setting up an account. She told me to bring all my auditions to the lab and we'd practice and record there.
A lot of narrators seem to have a background in theatre. Is that something you think is essential to a successful narration career? I DO know successful narrators without that background, but I think that it is extremely helpful to have it. HOWEVER, it's a different way of telling a story – there's mic technique and a hundred other things to learn that are SO different from stage acting and it takes time and patience to learn that.
What type of training have you undergone? I worked with the engineers/directors at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's EIF VO Lab, coached privately with Jayme Mattler, Paul Alan Ruben and Carol Monda and I've just started coaching with Andi Arndt. .I also study dialects using various resources and plan to work with a coach who specializes in dialects because I think it's so important AND one of the most fun aspects of the work.
How do you manage to avoid burn-out? What do you do to maintain your enthusiasm for narrating? I am a voracious reader and love narrating so I cannot imagine getting burned out. Talk to me in 10 years. But, seriously, I plan on doing this work for as long as I'm able to read and speak.
Are you an audiobook listener? What about the audiobook format appeals to you? Yes, I'm an avid listener and I have my own favorites. I binge-listen to narrators I like so I can hear how they perform across genres.
What are your favorite and least favorite parts of narrating an audiobook? The prep work and the prep work! It can be really fun because you learn about new topics/subjects you might not have had any interest in. But sometimes it's maddening because you're looking at multiple sources and the sources conflict, and you want to get it right so that ca be a bit frustrating. My real favorite part is when you reach that ZONE where everything is just flowing. I. LOVE. THAT.
What would you say are your strongest narration abilities? Infusing humor and warmth into stories. I'm also great with 1st person reads.
Is there a particular genre you feel unsuited for? Have you ever declined a project because you didn't think you were right for it? Highly technical medical texts. No, I've turned projects down for lack of pay rate but I try to audition for things I think are a great fit for me.
What about this title compelled you to audition as narrator? I strongly connected with the viewpoint of the main character Carolina Jessup. She's a bit snarky and an odd duck, and she has this funny monologue going on in her head no matter what is happening.
How closely do you prefer to work with authors? Oh, if they want to participate in the process, that's great, they can be a great resource if the text brings up additional questions. I consider the author a partner. I ask for pronunciation guides and input on how THEY see certain characters if it's not clearly stated in the text.
Who are your "accent inspirations"? Davina Porter is British of course, so she's great for multiple English accents and also does GREAT scottish accents (and male voices). I also listen to Caroline Lee (Australian) so if I need an Australian accent that's who I'd model it after.
How did you decide how each character should sound in this title? Clues in the text whenever possible: descriptions of voice, tone, accent. Physical descriptions, meaning age, physical build etc, as well as speech pattern indicators in the text.
Have there been any characters that you really connected with? In the series I'm recording now, Geek Actually, (a serialized fiction podcast released in weekly episodes), there are 5 main female characters. They're smart, geeky, funny, irreverent, feminists. Besties who met each other playing World of Warcraft or at Cons. I. LOVE. THEM. There is part of each one of those women inside me.
If you had the power to time travel, would you use it? If yes, when and where would you go? Ooooohhhh, it would be fun to go to Sicily or Ireland, my ancestors' home turf. But I'm SUCH a trouble-maker, I'd either be burned as a witch or expelled from wherever. Oh yeah. Think Claire in the Outlander series. Yup, that'd be me, stirring the you-know-what, refusing to stay in "my place".
How does audiobook narration differ from other types of voiceover work you've done? Many other types of voiceover are sprints, not marathons. It requires much more technical research and prep than other forms of VO.
Do you read reviews for your audiobooks? Yes.
If so, which ones stand out to you most, positive or negative? I've not gotten any harsh reviews so I have to say mostly the positive stand out.
What type of the review comments do you find most constructive? What about the narration really worked or affected them and why? Specific comments are best. General comments are not all helpful. I did a fun comic-romance and several listeners said it was Laugh-Out-Loud funny and talked about how much they loved some of the characters. That's really helpful knowing exactly I nailed for you, what really worked for you as a listener.
If you could narrate one book from your youth what would it be and why? Can I pick two? The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. For years I dreamed about running away and sleeping over in the Museum of Natural History just like the kids in that story. (Because I'm a dinosaur freak, and briefly wanted to be a paleontologist, I reveled in the idea of crashing in the museum with all those fossils.) The other is 101 Dalmations. I am a dog-nut and read this book TEN times when I was young. It would be awesome to voice all those dogs and Cruella DeVil!
What bits of advice would you give to aspiring audiobook narrators? Listen to audiobooks by experienced narrators. Be humble. Coach and get advice from knowledgeable people in the business. Do your homework! There is a long learning curve for audiobook narration, so be patient with yourself.
Waffle fries or curly fries? Cajun spiced sweet potato fries. TOTALLY addicted.
GIF with a hard g or soft g? Hard G.
Fantasy or science-fiction? SUCH A GEEK-GIRL. I've watched all the Star Wars/Star Trek movies and all the Star Trek series but at the end of the day my favorite fiction genre to read is Epic Fantasy.
Superman or Batman? Batman. Because…Batgirl.
Pancakes or waffles? Pumpkin pancakes!
TV Shows or movies? Movies.
Alice in Wonderland or Robinson Crusoe? Always Alice.
Being too warm or too cold? Too Cold = hot chocolate + marshmallows.
Work Hard or Play Hard? Both. I am a certified Scuba Diver (I prefer clear blue water, gorgeous reef, colorful fish, but SOMETIMES it means hauling heavy gear and rough water).
Passenger or Driver? Passenger so I get to watch the scenery.
Amusement Park or Day at the Beach? Beach.
Movie at Home or Movie at the Theater? Movie Theater if it's a blockbuster movie.'Cuz who wants to watch Wonder Woman at HOME??

11/28 Best Of Wooldridge, Gragg
Talkback Thursday 28 Nov 2013
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

Ever since I heard Humpty Dumpty, I have enjoyed poetry. The silly, serious, and even the bizarre have spoken to me. Even if you aren't generally a poetry fan, I think some of these could win you over. Here are some novels-in-verse, poetry collections, books that scatter poems throughout and a few novels that are simply poetry related. I also threw in one spoken word piece because it shouldn't be missed.
Summary: Newbery Honor-winner Margarita Engle tells the story of Cuban folk hero, abolitionist, and women's rights pioneer Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda in this powerful new YA historical novel in verse.
Summary: When Lupita discovers Mami has been diagnosed with cancer, she is terrified by the possibility of losing her mother, the anchor of their close-knit Mexican American family.
In the midst of juggling high school classes, finding her voice as an actress, and dealing with friends who don't always understand, Lupita desperately wants to support her mother by doing anything she can to help. While Papi is preoccupied with caring for Mami, Lupita takes charge of her seven younger siblings. Struggling in her new roles and overwhelmed by change, Lupita escapes the chaos of home by writing in the shade of a mesquite tree, seeking refuge in the healing power of words.
Told in evocative free verse, Lupita's journey is both heart-wrenching and hopeful. Under the Mesquite is an empowering story about the testing of family bonds, the strength of a teenage girl navigating pain and hardship, and the kind of love that cannot be uprooted.
Emma feels out of place in the United States.She begins to have migraines, and longs to be back in Japan. At her grandmother's urging, she volunteers in a long-term care center to help Zena, a patient with locked-in syndrome, write down her poems. There, Emma meets Samnang, another volunteer, who assists elderly Cambodian refugees. Weekly visits to the care center, Zena's poems, dance, and noodle soup bring Emma and Samnang closer, until Emma must make a painful choice: stay in Massachusetts, or return home early to Japan.
Summary: Coretta Scott King award-winning author Vaunda Micheaux Nelsons great uncle was Lewis Micheaux, owner of the famous National Memorial African Bookstore. Located in the heart of Harlem, New York, from 1939 to 1975, Micheauxs bookstore became the epicenter of black literary life and a rallying point for the Black Nationalist movement. Some of its famous and most loyal patrons include Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Langston Hughes, and W.E.B. DuBois. In this inspiring work of historical fiction, Nelson tells the true story of a man with a passion for knowledge and of a bookstore whose influence has become legendary.
Summary: It is 1896. Cuba has fought three wars for independence and still is not free. People have been rounded up in reconcentration camps with too little food and too much illness. Rosa is a nurse, but she dares not go to the camps. So she turns hidden caves into hospitals for those who know how to find her.
Black, white, Cuban, Spanish—Rosa does her best for everyone. Yet who can heal a country so torn apart by war? Acclaimed poet Margarita Engle has created another breathtaking portrait of Cuba. The Surrender Tree is a 2009 Newbery Honor Book, the winner of the 2009 Pura Belpre Medal for Narrative and the 2009 Bank Street – Claudia Lewis Award, and a 2009 Bank Street – Best Children's Book of the Year.
Summary: In 1955, people all over the United States knew that Emmett Louis Till was a fourteen-year-old African American boy lynched for supposedly whistling at a white woman in Mississippi. The brutality of his murder, the open-casket funeral, and the acquittal of the men tried for the crime drew wide media attention.
Summary: Beloved children's book author and speaker Pat Mora has written an original collection of poems, each with a different teen narrator sharing unique thoughts, moments, sadness, or heart's desire: the girl who loves swimming, plunging into the water that creates her own world; the guy who leaves flowers on the windshield of the girl he likes. Each of the teens in these 50 original poems, written using a variety of poetic forms, will be recognizable to the reader as the universal emotions, ideas, impressions, and beliefs float across the pages in these gracefully told verses.
Also included are the author's footnotes on the various types of poetic forms used throughout to help demystify poetry and showcase its accessibility, which makes this a perfect classroom tool for teachers as well as an inspiration to readers who may wish to try their own hand at writing.
Summary: Ten years after the publication of the acclaimed Cool Salsa, editor Lori Marie Carlson has brought together a stunning variety of Latino poets for a long-awaited follow-up. Established and familiar names are joined by many new young voices, and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Oscar Hijuelos has written the Introduction.

Conversion rate optimisation is about driving up the percentage of visitors to your site that convert into real bookings. Increasing your occupancy rate via direct bookings can generate incremental additional revenue without having to use expensive OTA's.
The conversion rate of hotel websites is among the lowest across all industries, typically sitting at 4%. It is easy to get distracted by the constant battle of competing with the OTA's in the search engines but what are you doing to hold hands with the people who are already visiting your website? Conversion rate optimisation of your site can impact direct sales by up to 25% and there is no better place to learn some of these tricks than from the OTA's who have invested millions in making their websites convert.
The key messages strategically placed all over the booking.com sales funnel are designed to create a sense of scarcity and urgency. Scarcity is when your show that your product is a limited commodity and if users don't buy it now, they might miss out. Urgency is when you ask users to act quickly in order to receive an incentive.
Messages such at "FREE cancellation on most rooms!" are aimed at the travelers who are fast decision makers but still want some flexibility just in case there is a change of circumstances. Similar messages such as 'FREE cancellation before [date]' also give you little reason not to book. If I know I can change, edit or cancel my booking up to two days prior the booking date, then I am more likely to proceed with that booking rather than miss out.
This is where booking.com do another great job in the strong call to actions, key messages creating a sense of scarcity force your hand in proceeding with the booking in fear of missing out. The 'just booked' widget prompts the visitor to make a quick decision to book before the room is taken. 'This hotel is likely to sell out soon', 'Last room!' message next to the individual room type and 'Last chance! Only 1 room left' message under availability all send the key message of scarcity. This widget refreshes in real-time and shows the country of origin of the person who has booked. More importantly, it brings trust. If so many other people are booking and from a lot of different countries, why shouldn't I?
Scarcity of availability is something that booking.com clearly feel is a fundamental factor in encouraging and persuading visitors to make a decision and book on their website. Do you see the message: "There are X people looking at this hotel." Accompanied by: "Latest booking: X minutes ago." This also works so well in making us want to book instead of waiting.
Prices play a very important role in the booking decision. So the message 'No booking or credit card fees' definitely adds value. Telling people upfront means that they don't need to worry about added costs later on. People shopping online all want the best hotel at the lowest possible price. 'Confirmation is immediate' gives peace of mind that as soon as you checkout you know you have reserved your hotel room (and you haven't missed out), keeping you in the mood to quickly book your destination. Finally, on the reserve page of the funnel is the message in Green 'No payment needed today'… It is great to know that today you don't have to pay any money and by showing this message in green lowers the possible friction level.
According to a TripAdvisor survey, free Wi-Fi is the most requested hotel amenity with 89% of travelers wanting it, followed by free parking and breakfast.
Booking.com advertise with 'Today's price' and put a discount in place. It makes you think the prices might be higher tomorrow, again creating the feeling of urgency and that there is a chance of you either missing out or spending more if you don't proceed with your booking right now. Attractive prices in combination with FREE cancellation are the most prominent persuasive elements booking.com use on their website.
It is common and a best practice to place persuasive elements on top of each page. These three reasons help people who are still hesitant convert. The most important elements are repeated on almost every page in the booking process.
Your secure booking starts here – it only takes 2 minutes!
No payment needed today. You'll pay during your stay.
With all this re-assurance why shouldn't you book?
Then there are these trust Signs – Reviews and Awards. Awards and a lot of good reviews bring trust. There is a carousel-like overview of testimonials that you can filter by the travel type, language and country. This is very handy to find out what people think about their experience staying at that particular hotel. It also gives a third party overview in a snapshot of what is good about the place and any concerns people who stayed here may have had. This social proof and volume of reviews builds trust.
Mobile search has officially over taken desktop. In fact, most households have more than three mobile devices connected to the internet for every one desktop so these figures make sense. Combine this new user trend with the highly sophisticated apps such as the booking.com app, then you can see why mobile bookings are growing at a rapid rate. As a hotelier it is your duty to keep your website and mobile version of your site up to speed.
Taking a look into your Analytic's can show you how your mobile site conversion rate compares to the desktop conversion rate. If it is not equal or close to equal then you are without a doubt losing revenue. In fact you could be losing up to possibly half of your direct bookings due to a poor user experience on mobile devices.
How's does your reservation process compare to booking.com? Take a screen grab of your reservation page online and compare it side by side with your hotels reservation page on booking.com. Is it over-complicated? Are you asking for too much ancillary information or trying to up-sell too many things? Even better, sit with a friend while they try to navigate the best price on your hotel website then complete a booking. Then ask them to do the same on booking.com and compare the user experience. Try this on your mobile site and compare it to the booking.com app.
And what about telephone bookings? Hoteliers have the advantage over the OTA's in that the OTA's rely heavily on their online booking engine and do not want to take telephone bookings. 'Click to call for the today's best rate guaranteed' for mobile devices can work extremely well, especially if you use this as the call to action in your paid Ads.
OTA's have a very simple system for remembering your details for next time making repeat bookings even easier to complete. Having a simple online checkout or encouraging people to call your reservations team can improve your revenue from direct bookings.
Check your Analytics to see what your conversion rate is on mobile vs desktop. If it is less than the industry standard of 4% then you have some work to do. If your hotels mobile site converts at a much lower rate than your desktop then you should invest in bringing this to parity.
Compare your online booking experience to Booking.com and see what you can learn from the difference. Are you asking too much of your end user, is the process confusing, are you trying to up-sell too many things and putting the potential customer off with too many distractions?
Check the content on your site, especially the call to actions and your hotels unique selling points. Do you have your top three USP's at the top of every page during the checkout process? Are you offering the best rate by booking direct? Do you have added credit card fees or cancellation fees that the customer can avoid by using an OTA? Do your call to actions create a sense of scarcity or urgency?
Finally, test and measure. Employ some of the techniques above and track the date it was implemented in your Google Analytics and measure the impact on your conversion rate.

After 21 years in the consumer products industry, I made the decision to take off my corporate hat, and leverage the marketing knowledge I gained selling brands such as Gatorade, Bud Light and Campbell's Soup.
I found an entrepreneurial spirit and passion I never knew existed working with small business owners, and running local community programs.
I am a proud graduate of Kingwood High School, and Texas Tech University.
I have been blessed to work one on one with leaders from Fortune 500 companies; Local businesses and Start ups.
Based out of Kingwood, Texas GrassRoots Marketing Texas worked with the coaches; students; and local businesses to raise over $25K for Susan G. Komen. We also designed; produced and marketed the "Mustang" Card for KHS Athletic department.
In August of 2017 our home and business flooded four feet during Hurricane Harvey.
In a 48 hour period; we packed up what were able to save and moved our family and 100lb Rottweiler to Austin, Texas.
At the time we joked that our life would be referred to as "Before" and "After" Harvey.
Since moving to Austin, we have been blessed to plant our roots in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
We have partnered with local business owners and some bigger names you may have heard of too!
My goal is to help entrepreneurs of all ages find their true passion.
We are not sure what the next chapter will bring…… But it's going to be one heck of a ride!

Q: Calling void function from other script I am trying to call some code from my PlayerManager script into my PlayerController script.
This is the code in the PlayerManger script:
public void Died()
    {
        PhotonNetwork.Destroy(controller);
        CreateController();
    }

And this is the code in my Playercontroller script:
void Die()
    {
        PlayerManager.Died();
    }

When I try to run my code, I get the error: "An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'PlayerManager.Died()'" Can someone tell me what is wrong with my code, or what I have to do to fix it.

A: I think you should change code like this
You cannot execute non-static method
public static void Died()
    {
        PhotonNetwork.Destroy(controller);
        CreateController();
    }

Gene Wilder: The Iconic Actor Left Behind More Than The Waco Kid and Willy Wonka
On August 29, the world lost one of the most iconic actors from the 1970s, Gene Wilder.
He was hardly Hollywood's most prolific actor. In fact, his entire IMDB profile only boasts less than 40 roles, making his legendary status even more extraordinary.
He has more than memorable turns in his collaborations with director Mel Brooks including, of course, "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein," (it's pronounced "Franken-SCHTEEN" remember).
His most lasting role, and the one he was reportedly most proud of (he often referred to it as his greatest legacy), was his charismatic turn as the enigmatic and often quixotic Willy Wonka in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."
Remembering Gene Wilder
We thought it would be fun to revisit a few of his less celebrated roles in both some obscure and not-so-obscure films because, no matter what he was doing, he was pretty much brilliant all the time.
Gene Wilder Movies: Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde, where Gene Wilder excelled in his role as Eugene Grizzard, is a 1967 American biographical crime film. It is considered a landmark film of the New Hollywood era
Arthur Penn's masterpiece announced Faye Dunnaway's arrival as one of Hollywood's newly sought after leading ladies.
The story follows two of America's most notorious and deadly bank robbers, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, as they make their way across the country in a crime spree that gripped the nation in 1930.
It was also a very quiet debut for one Gene Wilder, who had already made his presence known on the Broadway stage and the New York theater scene. His turn as Eugene Grizzard, a hapless captive of Barrow and Parker, is quick but memorable.
It's hard to imagine a time when the world had not yet seen his electric blue eyes, his unmistakable presence, and immediate likability.
If you blink, you'll miss his role, but he had to start somewhere. That he got his start in one of the greatest films of the late 60s is some introduction indeed.
While many have disliked this 1974 film, it showed Gene Wilder in perhaps one of his most controlled and loving roles ever on screen
In 1974, Stanley Donen, no stranger to big Hollywood musicals, helmed a musical adaptation of the French novella by Antoine de Saint-Exupery called "The Little Prince."
The film, like many of those in Gene Wilder's early career, was a critical and commercial flop (believe it or not, this was also true of "Wonka" and "The Producers" which earned him an academy award nomination).
While the film is dated, flawed, and narratively uneven, Wonka's segment of the film where he plays a completely humanized version of Saint-Exupery's Fox is at once heartbreaking and enchanting.
Wilder's Fox has all of the charm of Wonka without any of his edge. Wilder uses sharpened skills as a stage actor to turn a relatively sparse scene shot in the woods into something truly memorable and, dare we say, magical.
The World's Greatest Lover
A 1977 film, it is Gene Wilder's second venture as star, director and writer
Wilder wrote and directed only a handful of movies. His first script, most famously (and most successfully) was "Young Frankenstein." His others are not nearly as memorable, although "The World's Greatest Lover" is probably his most-realized and funniest.
In it, he plays a Midwestern banker named Rudy Hickman who makes his way to Hollywood with his wife (an equally enchanting Carol Kane) to grab a chance at stardom.
The entire film is a spoof about silent-era Hollywood in the early 20s, and Rudy's life goes sideways when his wife, Annie, leaves him for Rudolph Valentino.
If you're a fan of the broadly styled comedies of Brooks and Wilder, especially their collaborations, it's impossible not to laugh out loud at least a few times during this charming, well-made, and comedically economical rom-com.
The Frisco Kid
A 1978 Western comedy – the 19th-century rabbi Avram Bilinski might be the role closest to Wilder's true self
The whole point of the buddy comedy genre is the pairing of oddballs. Wilder would make good use of his buddy comedy skills with his most notable partner, the late and also great Richard Prior, in several successful films like "Silver Streak" and "Stir Crazy."
In 1979, he cut his teeth as a co-leading man with none other than Harrison Ford in a quirky road movie/western where Wilder plays the hapless Avram Belinski, a naive Philadelphian rabbi making his way out west to helm a new synagogue in San Francisco.
After getting ripped off by a bunch of con artists, he is taken in by soft-hearted bank robber Tommy Lillard (played by a roguish and young Ford). The two have a surprising amount of chemistry and watching them romp around together makes up for the film's other missteps.
The film was released in 1979, which almost marks the end of the Borscht Belt comedy era and gave Gene Wilder one of his last cinematic moments in this style.

Relación bidireccional entre diabetes mellitus y periodontitis apical.
Resumen: La Diabetes Mellitus es una enfermedad crónica que ha ido en aumento en las últimas décadas, por lo que cada vez es más probable que los odontólogos veamos pacientes con esta enfermedad. Múltiples estudios han evaluado la relación entre diabetes mellitus y patologías orales, ya que la diabetes produce un estado proinflamatorio permanente que altera la cicatrización y la respuesta del hospedero frente a las bacterias. Por otro lado, la periodontitis apical, una de las patologías orales de mayor prevalencia en Chile, produce citoquinas que van a llegar al torrente sanguíneo, aumentando la inflamación y empeorando el control metabólico de esta enfermedad. El objetivo de esta revisión narrativa es entender los mecanismos por los que ocurre esta interacción y sus consideraciones terapéuticas.

Q: Is there a way to combine these rows? html scraping Scraping webpages for an assignment and ran into a problem. I scraped 12 web pages into a document with the following syntax:

for(i in seq_along(qb_url))
{
  qb_data <-
    GET(qb_url[i])$content %>%
    rawToChar() %>%
    htmlParse() %>%
    readHTMLTable(stringsAsFactors = FALSE) %>%
    extract2(1) %>%
    bind_rows(qb_data)
}

This output a data frame scraping 12 pages of nfl football stats. Each page was one stat... for example, a table for all time TD leaders. Then a table for all time interception leaders. QB rating leaders. Etc. So I ended up with a data frame that has a bunch of different QBs and repeats them all, instead of putting each QB into one row... For example, Drew Brees shows up on all of the records. So the data looks like this (except with a bunch of other QBs thrown into the mix as well, I filtered for Drew Brees only)
qb stats table image
Sorry for the formatting on the table here. But basically, is there a way to collapse this so I can have ONE line for each QB, instead of a bunch of NA's with one stat on each line?? I'm going to throw out the first column and the rank column and the link column... just haven't got that far yet.
I'm thinking it has to do with the bind_rows part of my syntax...
Thankful for any help you all have!

A: Here's some dummy data
library(tidyverse)

df <- tibble(
  player = rep(c("Alice", "Bob", "Carol"), each = 3),
  x = rep(c(1, NA, NA), times  = 3),
  y = rep(c(NA, 1, NA), times  = 3),
  z = rep(c(NA, NA, 1), times  = 3)
)
df
#> # A tibble: 9 x 4
#>   player     x     y     z
#>   <chr>  <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 Alice      1    NA    NA
#> 2 Alice     NA     1    NA
#> 3 Alice     NA    NA     1
#> 4 Bob        1    NA    NA
#> 5 Bob       NA     1    NA
#> 6 Bob       NA    NA     1
#> 7 Carol      1    NA    NA
#> 8 Carol     NA     1    NA
#> 9 Carol     NA    NA     1

Use group_by and summarise to remove the NA values.
df %>%
  group_by(player) %>%
  summarise(across(everything(), ~first(na.omit(.))))
#> # A tibble: 3 x 4
#>   player     x     y     z
#>   <chr>  <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 Alice      1     1     1
#> 2 Bob        1     1     1
#> 3 Carol      1     1     1


You really can judge someone by the company they keep. For these three men, it's the company they're not keeping that we're learning about them from.
This is the story about Jahangir, Saiful and Golam, three Bangladeshi nationals who went to Singapore in search of a better future.
They're not interviewed here. Their families are.
The filmmakers travelled to Bangladesh to record these heartfelt and poignant love letters to them.
Over 90% of Bangladeshis who leave home for work elsewhere are men [source]. It also means that these men are not present with their families in Bangladesh, returning only after a long stint overseas.
They built cities and made lives better for other people and families, away from home.
We know how long distance relationships work, but these are the ones that takes the cake. And lots of feels.
'Beyond the Border, Behind the Men' was directed by Ng Yiqin, with Joses Kuan and Bernice Wong for the storytelling initiative Our Better World.
Bernice's first experience with the migrant worker community started when she volunteered at the TWC in Singapore. She felt apprehensive about sitting at a table full of South Asian men, but she found them incredible hospitable and good natured as time passed. This documentary came after a conversation she had with Yiqin, her former schoolmate.
"(This is because) I felt there was a disconnect between what I knew and what the general public perceived," Bernice explains.
They are returning to Bangladesh for more stories. Check out their Facebook page for updates.
