Thanksgiving Symposium: Love Call of the Divine
LIVE SPECIAL EVENT
Graham Schweig, Eric Fraser, Premananda Vilasa, and Krishna Kanta
Tuition: Sliding scale donation
Program Type: Online Special Event – Live Online Evening Satsangs
Date & Time: Wed-Sat, November 25-28, 8pm ET See full schedule below
Special Event Description:
At the center of the ashram is the sacred image of Murali Krishna, whose names together mean, "With the sounds coming from his flute, he is the divinity who draws us to himself."
Many yogis and scholars have contemplated this divine call to love. The female practitioners known as the Vraja Gopikas were considered to be some of the greatest of all yogis … transfixed in the highest states of samadhi by the enchanting sounds of Krishna's flute.
This experience blends ancient Sanskrit poetry and literature with the mellifluous sounds of classical Indian bansuri bamboo flute. Combined with sweet and serene kirtan, you will find yourself with a better understanding of the call of the Divine — and elevated into meditation.
Historically, Love Call of the Divine was conducted as a ceremony on the full moon. This event is scheduled to fall on the full moon to enhance its powerful benefits and meditative effects.
Come rejoice in these beautiful, love-filled melodies, complemented by relevant passages from the Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutra, Upanishads, and Bhagavata Puraṇa to illuminate the love call of the Divine.

It's not a great week to be Donald Trump. Hot on the heels of NBC dropping their relationship with the real estate mogul and Miss Universe/Miss USA pageant owner after he made comments about Mexican immigrants, Miss USA co-hosts Cheryl Burke and Thomas Roberts have also ended their affiliation with Trump, and the Miss USA pageant itself.
In light of the recent statements made by Donald Trump and the subsequent decision by NBC to cut ties with Mr. Trump, I cannot in good conscience move forward with participating in this year's Miss USA Pageant as its co-host. Effective today I have withdrawn from my duties with Miss USA.
Additionally, it seems like not only Burke, Roberts, and NBC are cutting ties with Trump, but entire nations as well: Lupita Jones, the winner of the 1991 Miss Universe pageant from Mexico, also tweeted on Tuesday that Mexico would no longer be participating in the pageant: In the tweet (which is written in Spanish), she said that she was offended by Trump's comments and, as Miss Universe, she was appalled that Trump was undoing all the good that the pageant had done: "It's a shame that because of his racist comments we lose what the competition has promoted and represented for so many years in an atmosphere of harmony and peace among nations; therefore, in accordance with the statement by Televisa, we will not participate in Miss Universe," Jones tweeted.
We must have strong borders and not let illegal immigrants enter the United States. As has been stated continuously in the press, people are pouring across our borders unabated. Public reports routinely state great amounts of crime are being committed by illegal immigrants. This must be stopped and it must be stopped now. Long ago I told NBC that I would not being doing The Apprentice because I am running for President in order to Make our Country Great Again. [...] If NBC is so weak and so foolish to not understand the serious illegal immigration problem in the United States, coupled with the horrendous and unfair trade deals we are making with Mexico, then their contract violating closure of Miss Universe/Miss USA will be determined in court. Furthermore, they will stand behind lying Brian Williams, but won't stand behind people that tell it like it is, as unpleasant as that may be.


Nikko National Park offers plenty of hiking opportunities. The park spreads over four prefectures: Tochigi, Gunma, Fukushima, and Niigata.
Nikko National Park is considered one of the most beautiful in Japan, and is a popular tourist destination. Beyond its striking scenery, the park is noted for its historical Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, most notably the Nikko Tosho-gu and Rinno-ji.
The Japanese saying "Never say 'kekkou' until you've seen Nikko"—kekko meaning beautiful, magnificent or "I am satisfied"—is a reflection of the beauty and sites in Nikko.
The Shinkyo much-photographed red bridge separates the shrines from the town of Nikko.
In feudal times, only the shogun was permitted to cross the bridge, and even today it's barred from pedestrian traffic — although there's a 4-lane highway rumbling right past.
You can get a nice view from the sidewalk, but to set foot on the bridge and look down into the gorge below, you'll have to buy a ticket from the booth nearby.
Kegon Waterfall is located at Lake Chuzenji. It is the most famous of Nikko's many beautiful waterfalls.
The falls were formed when the Daiya River was rerouted by lava flows. About twelve smaller waterfalls are situated behind and to the sides of Kegon Falls, leaking through the many cracks between the mountain and the lava flows.
At 97 meters high, it is one of Japan's three highest waterfalls.
In the autumn, the traffic on the road from Nikko to Chuzenji can sometimes slow to a crawl as visitors come to see the fall colors.
Lake Chuzenji itself is surrounded by hiking trails ranging from 4.6km "an hour and a half" to 19.7km "six hours". The area is sometimes called Oku-Nikko meaning "Inner Nikko".
Route 120 then crosses over the Yukawa River and passing the Yudaki Falls, Lake Yunoko and the Yumoto spa and ski slopes to the northwest of the city, eventually reaching Mt. Shirane and Lakes Kirikomi and Karikomi, which have their own walking courses.
A short walk south from the center of town will get you on a strenuous but rewarding hiking trail to the summit of Mt. Nakimushi. Allow a few hours for a return trip.
Adventurous hikers might want to take the city bus to Mato, down National Route 122 in the far southwestern corner of Nikko City territory, in order to hike to Akagane Shinsui Koen "Copper Hydro Park", billed as Japan's Grand Canyon, as pollution has killed all the trees and left the valley bare. The infamous Ashio copper mine was located nearby.
The working hillside village along the way has no shortage of snack shops and vending machines. Across a wing bridge below the highest spillway is a small museum, public toilet, and park with cherry and alder trees. Allow about 2.5 hours to walk up and back , gawking at relics of the huge ghost mine complex across the river, some hardy Japanese macaques and, if lucky, a mountain goat.
Nikko Botanical Garden 104,490 square meters, is operated by the Graduate School of Science, University of Tokyo.
The Nikko botanical garden was opened in 1902 for the purpose of studying alpine plants, and today it exhibits over 1500 different plant species and about 2200 individual plants. The garden is a branch of the university's main research garden, Koishikawa Botanical Garden in Tokyo.
To visit, take a bus at Nikko Station or Tobu Nikko Station to "Nikko Shokubutsuen". It is 2 minutes' walk from the stop. It is open daily except Mondays during the warmer months. An admission fee is charged.
There is a Tourist Information Center in Tobu-Nikko Station.
Both stations are about two kilometers to the west of the shrine area.
To reach the shrines, you can take a Tobu Bus just outside the Tobu Nikko Train Station, about 6 minutes' bus ride to the UNESCO World Heritage area.
Or you can get up close and personal with the neighborhood and use your own two feet, following the pedestrian signs along the main road "Route 119".
Getting off at bus stops 81-85 on the Tobu bus line will get you to the shrine and temple area.
Halfway between the stations and shrines, you can stop at the Nikko Tourist Information Center to get maps, ask questions, use the Internet, and quench your thirst with water from a small, ladle-drawn waterfall.
Also if it is raining, they very happily lend out umbrellas and you are able to drop these off on the way back.
Allow about a half-hour or so to walk from the train station to the shrine entrance.
The first temple in Nikko was founded more than 1,200 years ago along the shores of the Daiya River.
However, in 1616, the dying Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu made it known that his final wish was for his successors to "build a small shrine in Nikko and enshrine me as the God".
"I will be the guardian of peace keeping in Japan" .
As a result, Nikko became home of the mausoleums of the Tokugawa Shoguns, which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This encompasses Rinno-ji, Nikko Tosho-gu, Nikko Futarasan Shrine and Mount Nantai.
Unlike most Japanese temples and shrines, the buildings here are extremely gaudy and ornate, with multicolored carvings and plenty of gold leaf, and show heavy Chinese influence.
Some sense of dignity is restored by a magnificent forest of over 13,000 cedar trees, covering the entire area.
However, for all of the grandeur the shoguns could muster, they're now over-shadowed in the eyes of many visitors by a trio of small wooden carvings on a stable wall: the famous Three Wise Monkeys.
The monkeys together embody the proverbial principle to "See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil".
The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.
Iroha-zaka is a pair of winding road that connects the city of Nikko and Chuzenji-Lake in Oku-Nikko. Iroha-zaka has 48 sharp curves along the way.
The two roads were respectively built in 1954 and 1965. Today, the older road is only open to downward traffic and includes a pit stop from where you can see two waterfalls.
The newer road, meanwhile, is only open to upward traffic and it offers an observation deck with views over the Irohazaka and the valley below.
The fastest and most convenient way to access Nikko is on the private Tobu Nikko Line from Tokyo's Tobu-Asakusa Station to Tobu Nikko Station "about 2 hours".
From the Tokyo Asakusa Station, take exit 4, and the Tobu train station is visible once you reach street level - it's at the same intersection.
You can book Nikko Passes online or at Tobu Sightseeing Service Center in Asakusa Station. Staffs who can speak English, Chinese and Korean are available. To reach Asakusa Station from Yokohama Station, take Keikyu Line to Sengakuji Station "21 minutes" and then change to Toei Asakusa Line "19 minutes".

Special to The Sun: Pictured are a few hand-carved decoy ducks made by the NJ Decoy Association carver of the year, and Williamstown resident, Darin Midgette.
Hobbies – everybody has one. Whether it's going to the gym, playing guitar or working on a truck, everybody has something they like to do in their spare time. In the case of Williamstown's Darin Midgette, he likes carving wooden decoy ducks and shore birds.
Midgette has been a carver for roughly 30 years. He started carving after attending an antique fishing and tackle show in Tuckerton.
As a carver, Midgette is involved with the New Jersey Decoy Collectors Association, a club dedicated to those who carve and collect decoy birds. He said there are close to 200 members in the club.
For his efforts and excellence in carving, he was nominated by a committee for the title of carver of the year.
Midgette will be honored at the 27th Annual New Jersey Decoy Collectors Association Decoy, Art and Hunting Collectibles Show on April 6 at the Seaview Hotel and Golf Club in Galloway.
Walking the line between carving being a hobby and work is something Midgette prides himself on. He said he feels at peace while carving, noting he enjoys the sense of fulfillment when he's finished.
When carving, Midgette said he will look over a piece of wood and find which way the grain is going to help him decide what he wants to carve, whether it is a blue heron, shore bird or black duck.
For the first and biggest cuts he will use a bandsaw. From there, Midgette said he uses knives and chisels to work the finer details. When he's finished, he paints his decoys with acrylic paint.
He starts and finishes roughly one bird per week. Midgette said he won't start another decoy until he finishes the one he started.
While Midgette may sell some decoys, it isn't out of the ordinary for him to keep as many as he sells.
Carving decoy ducks is just one aspect of Midgette's life. He spends the rest of his time outdoors as well, claiming when he's not in the garage he's on the lake kayak fishing. He said he grew up hunting and fishing with his family.

Burnley willing to offer Barton helping hand
Updated on November 17, 2016 By paul meadows Leave a comment
Sean Dyche is willing to let former Burnley midfielder Joey Barton train with the club, but has stopped short of offering him a playing return.
Barton is a free agent after his contract at Rangers was terminated earlier this month, not even a quarter into the two-year contract he signed in May. The 34-year-old was banished from the club following a row with team-mate Andy Halliday and manager Mark Warburton, in the wake of the 5-1 Premiership defeat to arch-rivals Celtic on September 10.
He returned to training last Thursday but was immediately signed off again with stress, having reportedly been told to train with the youth players rather than link up with the first team squad. As if this wasn't bad enough, the controversial player has also been charged by the Scottish Football Association for allegedly breaking betting rules.
Barton spent last season in Lancashire with Burnley, scoring three goals in 38 appearances as he helped them win the Championship title and clinch a return to the Premier League. He has now been linked with a reunion at Turf Moor, but whilst manager Dyche is prepared to let his former charge train at the club, it's unlikely a playing contract will be offered.
"There are lots of players I've helped out in my past," he said ahead of Monday's trip to West Bromwich Albion. "If he felt he needs a base to get fit or whatever, I'd listen. Beyond that, that would be it. If Joey requires our support, he'll get that. If he doesn't, he'll move forward to wherever he's going to. He did great for us, beyond that is the indefinable."

Future legends of Russian literature at the London Book Fair
Phoebe Taplin
special to RBTH

From rebels in ripped jeans to genteel experts on Tolstoy, this year's crop of Russian writers in London appeals to a broad and diverse audience. Visitors of the London Book Fair talked to RBTH about their love for Russian literature.
The huge arch of Earls Court Exhibition Centre curves over the myriad stands of London's epic-sized 2014 Book Fair. Every April, more than 25,000 book-related professionals throng here from around the world. This year, a parallel programme of events marks the Russia-UK Year of Culture.
The UK audience for Russian writers, invited here to participate in Read Russia program, are a diverse bunch. Fergus Egan, soon to start a philosophy degree at Cambridge University, admits to being "trapped in Tolstoy and Gogol." He recently read Tolstoy's "Confession" in different translations, including the version, published late last year, which former Penguin editor-in-chief Peter Carson completed shortly before his death. "What he says about faith is really interesting." Egan explained enthusiastically about "his belief in the common man's ability to have an insight into theology."
Russian novelists write a new chapter at the London Book Fair
Visitor Robert Corfe searches for Russian films "of stories by Tolstoy, Pushkin and Dostoevsky." His personal favorite among the Russian classics is Ivan Goncharov's "Oblomov" (due out this month in a new, award-winning translation from Alma Classics): "I think it's very funny. His description of the major characters is just wonderful." As for contemporary fiction, he feels "people are much more open to reading Russian literature today in the post-Soviet era."
Children's books, which recall her St. Petersburg childhood, are still favorites for Jane Bugaeva, who is visiting London from North Carolina. She easily quotes from Grigory Oster's comic poetry for children. The poems use reverse psychology, suggesting that kids should cycle along the corridors, "crash into your dad" or run away into the freezing woods and be eaten by a bear.
Silvana Gonçalves from Brazil has no preconceptions about the writers she has come to hear at Waterstones bookshop. "I came just out of curiosity because I'd never read any Russian authors before," she said. "Except Dr. Zhivago," she added, "but everyone's read that."
Inspired by the classics
Translator Melanie Moore recommends Lyudmila Ulitskaya's "The Big Green Tent," set in Soviet-era Moscow and due out in English in December. "It's a novel in the great Russian tradition," said Moore. "It has a lot of characters; you really get to know them and then you're gutted when things happen to them." Moore recently translated "The Little Man" by young author Liza Alexandrova-Zorina, published in English earlier this year. She describes it as: "Very Russian with riffs on themes from 'Crime and Punishment'."
Translation challenges the brightest minds
Has author Helen Dunmore, who spoke during the program, been influenced by Russian literature? "The simple answer is yes," she told RBTH, "very much, especially by the Silver Age poets like Osip Mandelstam and Anna Akhmatova, but also Turgenev and Tolstoy and a whole range of writers have been a very strong influence on me." Dunmore's award-winning 2001 novel, "The Siege," imagined a winter in Leningrad during the three-year siege.
Several of the Russian authors visiting London this year spoke about the inspiration of their cultural heritage. Cult novelist and Big Book Prize winner Eugene Vodolazkin has spent so long researching medieval folklore that "I felt as though ancient Russia became part of my life."

Alexander Terekhov's complex, historical mystery "The Stone Bridge," finally out in English, is crammed with allusions all kinds, including references to Chekhov. Irina Muravyova explains how her novel "Day of the Angel," published in translation last year, was influenced by Tolstoy: "Who, if not he, realized the tragedy of life … but who gave us more joy, more laughter or more sense of life?"
Two sides of Russia
Sankya: Freaks and malcontents of Russia's youth
Often seen as Tolstoy's heir, rabble-rouser Zakhar Prilepin has attracted a crowd. He summarized his life for the London audience: "I am 38. I have written ten books. I also work in political journalism and as a political activist." He has been a security guard, military captain in Chechnya, and leader of a banned radical political party.
Prilepin shared the bookshop stage with Vodolazkin. Elizabeth Kaplunov, who has lived in London for twelve years, remarked: "The writers are interesting because of the worlds, the sides of Russia that they represent. Vodolazkin is about the more traditional and academic old values, whereas Prilepin is more controversial, more vibrant, a rebel. Both of those sides are interestingly combined in today's Russia."
Her favorite author is Victor Pelevin: "another writer who represents the modern Russia novel, for me … he is a philosopher and a caricaturist of modern life."
Prilepin also appeared in London's Pushkin House with Tolstoy-expert and literary critic, Pavel Basinsky. In his ripped jeans and leather jacket, Prilepin cuts a striking figure in genteel Bloomsbury.
His latest book in English, out soon, is "Sankya", a tale of young revolutionaries, originally written in 2006, with clear autobiographical elements. What proportion of "Sankya" is fiction? "62 percent autobiography, 38 percent fiction," he said jokingly. "Literature is more than truth. It is an absolute concentration of life."
Special project: Read Russia!
"Prilepin is a very unusual writer," said Arina Krapivina, venue manager at Pushkin House. "He's someone who has an opinion about everything."
Personally, Krapivina said she is a bigger fan of Vodolazkin's novels, particularly his latest, "Laurus" (due out in English in December) which she rates as "the best book of 2013: It is fiction, but it has such an interesting historical background … You exist in the world he creates and go on a fascinating journey with the main character. It takes place in a fantasy version of Russia, but it represents anywhere in the world. It is about our daily life."
"When we talk about history, we are actually talking about the current age," Vodolazkin told the audience in Waterstones. "A true literary work does not relate directly to such concepts as space and time, but takes the viewpoint of eternity."

family's new home. Some of these companies recycle all types of reusable building materials while others such as Recycling the Past in New Jersey choose to specialize in construction items for old houses. If you need an old door or hot water radiator for your restoration project, these types of companies are a great place to try.The West Coast has seemed to lead the way in our country's "green" revolution and encouraging builders and homeowners to help the environment by using recycled building materials is just another example. The City of Seattle even has a web page touting the benefits of using recycled building materials for construction projects. I have a few upcoming restoration projects on my own old house and I can assure you I plan to visit some recycled building material retail locations.


Lake Shore's cryogenic probe stations provide precisely controlled environments for non-destructive measurement of the electrical properties of materials and early-stage electronic devices.
Probe stations enable physical scientists and researchers to conduct fundamental science through convenient, repeatable measurements producing consistent results. Probe stations are versatile and flexible research platforms that can be used in dedicated applications or as multi-use community research assets.
Typical applications include sampling IV and CV curves over a wide range of temperatures measuring microwave and electro-optical responses, characterising magneto-transport properties in variable magnetic fields, Hall effect measurements to understand carrier mobility, and a variety of other materials solutions.
All Lake Shore probe stations offer excellent temperature stability due to the highly efficient radiation shielding designs and have a low susceptibility to vibration.


As a multi-branch estuary system, the Yangtze Estuary presents distinctive characteristics of hydrodynamic processes through co-action among river runoff, tides, wind-waves, and gravitational circulation. To study the pathways of flushing water along all of the estuary's branches and analyze their differences, especially those due to the influence of seawater intrusion and discharge variations, a free surface flow modeling suite TELEMAC-MASCARET involving passive tracers was applied to the Yangtze Estuary and the adjacent waters. The open boundary conditions were provided by the Nao.99 b model(Matsumoto et al., 2000), which was calibrated using observed velocity and salinity data obtained in March 2002. The water age, which was used as the diagnostic tool to study the flushing efficiency of the water body across the estuary, was solved by additional advection-diffusion-reaction equations implemented in the TELEMAC modeling system. The transport properties were investigated under different river discharge scenarios, which represented seasonal impacts; aspects relating to the influence of tide, surface wind stress, and density-induced circulation on age were also investigated. Model results showed that river runoff is one of the dominant factors influencing the spatial distribution of the mean age, while tidal force is another important factor. The horizontal freshwater age distribution demonstrated similarity compared with the salinity distribution; the vertical age distribution resembled the stratification pattern of salinity in all branches where stratification persists. An experimental numerical simulation of tracing saltwater age from the lower reaches of the estuary was conducted, and implicated the connectivity with transport processes of freshwater from upstream. Additionally, a particle tracking algorithm was used to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the four passages. The South Passage and South Channel were found to be significant as main water flow passages, while salinity intrusion in the North Branch was found to cause a return flow that partially joins the South Branch flushing water.


Stock Kitchen Cabinetry. What are stock kitchen cabinets? Stock kitchen cabinets happen to be cabinetry that are pre-built into a specific size and then resold by a cabinetry dealer. Stock cabinets are typically produced in a couple of inch increments. In some basic kitchen layouts such as a great L shaped kitchen you can lay cabinets out without much problem. But what do you perform when you are fitting cabinets among two walls? Well in the case the cabinet dealer can supply you with filler pieces to take up any large gaps which will eventually occur by using units that are built within 2 inch increments. These curio cabinet filler pieces can be lower to fit the remaining gap relatively well. The main disadvantage with stock kitchen cabinets is the aforementioned incremental sizing nevertheless also the quality. Although just like anything the lower to mid range priced stock cabinetry are typically made from thinner resources and have economy hardware including cabinet door hinges and drawer slides. There are a few advantages with using stock cabinetry the initial one that comes to mind is cost. Since stock cabinets are mass produced they can be quite affordable. Another advantage is speed, in most cases retailers have access to larger warehouses where the cabinets are stored, and you may have your stock cupboard order within a few short weeks or in some cases days.

Jenesis holds over thirty patents with a 90% acceptance rate on new patent applications. Many of the products developed by Jenesis' engineers since the founding of the company and in their previous corporate jobs are still on the market, some after nearly 20 years. These numbers probably don't mean much to you unless you're an industry insider, but consider this: on average 90% of new patent applications are rejected, and most new products are out of production within five years of their release. How has Jenesis managed to rack up these impressive successes, despite its small size? Founding member and company president Brad Jensen shares his thoughts.
"It's like when we started the window candles. The few electronic candles on the market were just terrible. They're main redeeming quality was that they were cheap. But we started pounding away on what we could do to make a good electric candle. We went through all kinds of iterations. Some of the early concepts were awful, but it was just grinding through the details. And all of a sudden you've gone through fifty of these iterations and you have something that looks like a pretty good product."

Lady Gaga Sings Acoustic Version Of "Gypsy," Sports Wacky Mustache: WATCH
by Dan Avery 10/25/2013
Lady Gaga is determined to have us be intimately familiar with all of ARTPOP before it's official release on November 11. After dropping "Do What U Want" and a teaser for the ARTPOP title track, Mother Monster performed an acoustic version of "Gypsy" on the German streaming subscription service AMPYA, which hosted an invitation-only ARTPOP release party at Berlin's hedonistic sex club Berghain.
The official album version of "Gypsy" is supposedly very EDM. What do you think of this take on it?
Gaga also posted some seriously Dali-esque selfies on Instagram. We get it, girl—it's an art album!

How can I have the permission to insert/modify post to my blog?

A: Service accounts are not supported with Blogger. Blogger requires people using Blogger to agree to our Terms of Service, and Service Accounts can't accept them.
A work around would be to use Normal Oauth2 Authentication.  Authentication your code once save the refresh token and use that in your cron script.

Florida Gov. Lawton Chiles last week vetoed a controversial bill that would have made it easier for HMO patients to sue when denied treatments deemed appropriate by their physicians.
Small business and HMO groups claimed victory and said the bill would have made managed care more expensive and caused an explosion of medical malpractice lawsuits.
But a spokesman for the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers said the veto will leave patients with fewer legal options and give HMOs less incentive to provide quality care.
Chiles, an ardent managed-care supporter, said the state can fine HMOs up to $250,000 for refusing to provide care deemed necessary by a state review board that handles HMO grievances.
Meanwhile, Chiles allowed another controversial bill to become law by not signing it. The bill, which becomes effective July 1, will allow for-profit hospital chains in Florida to acquire or lease former public hospitals that have converted to private, not-for-profit facilities. About 40 of the state's 220 hospitals are former public hospitals (May 27, p. 20).
Under the old law, public hospitals that converted to not-for-profits could sell or lease only to other not-for-profits.
In a surprise move, Chiles also vetoed a bill supported by Florida hospitals that would have eliminated the state's rate review process.
"Many hospitals offer fixed discounts on their charges," Chiles said. "Even with a constant discount rate, the cost for the customers will increase when hospital charges increase. Until a true market-driven price competitive system is developed for healthcare, repeal....is premature at this time."

Q: Test with QuoteLineItem insert fails in some sandboxes but not all with REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING UnitPrice error I have a test class with setup method which creates an account, opportunity, quote. Then the test method retrieves the quote and sets up a QuoteLineItem .

The code in both sandboxes is identical, other elements cannot be guaranteed as several project teams use this environment enroute to production.
Any thoughts?

A: The key here is the order of execution (before triggers, before save flows can manipulate the values of fields presented to them before the database commit occurs):
Check to see if the fullcopy sandbox includes code that:

*

*Has a before insert trigger (SMEQuoteLineItemTrigger) that nulls out QuoteLineItem.UnitPrice

*Has a before-save record-triggered flow that nulls out QuoteLineItem.UnitPrice

Around 200 fisherfolk from a coastal village in Consolacion, Cebu recently held protest against a reclamation project brought about by a partnership between the town's officials and a private consortium.
The protesters signed a petition against the reclamation project, addressed to President Rodrigo Duterte, in hopes of garnering help with the issue.
This was the third time a petition written against the reclamation project was sent to the President, the first being signed by at least 2,000 shipyard workers, while the second was signed by the residents of Barangay Tayud.
All signatories have livelihoods that will be affected by the reclamation project if it pushes through.
CONSOLACION, CEBU, Philippines — Protesters gathered at around 6 in the morning this past Sunday, 07 November, carrying posters, and continued on despite the rain.
The initial protesters came from Sitio Baha-Baha in Barangay Tayud, and were soon joined by fishermen from the nearby cities of Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue. All were against the Seafront City, a 235.8-hectare reclamation project that could, according to a study, cause irreversible damages to marine resources if it were to push through.
The study was conducted by Dr. Filipina Sotto from the Cebu-based think tank FBS-Environment and Community Research and Development Services. She stated that the area is rich in marine resources, as it has seven mangrove species and 75 coral species.
On the morning of their protest, the fisherfolk even cooked and ate some crabs and shellfish they gathered along the shoreline, seeking to prove that the sea is abundant with marine life.
The fisherfolk's protest was the second against the Seafront City—it came less than a month after the first, which involved fifty fishermen boarding their boats to catch fish in order to refute the claims of Consolacion Mayor Johannes Alegado and Vice Mayor Teresita Alegado that the shipyards in the area have caused the absence of fish.

Trends in malaria in Odisha, India-An analysis of the 2003-2013 time-series data from the national vector borne disease control program

Background: Although Odisha is the largest contributor to the malaria burden in India, no systematic study has examined its malaria trends. Hence, the spatio-temporal trends in malaria in Odisha were assessed against the backdrop of the various anti-malaria strategies implemented in the state. Methods: Using the district-wise malaria incidence and blood examination data (2003-2013) from the National Vector Borne Disease Control Program, blood examination-adjusted time-trends in malaria incidence were estimated and predicted for 2003-2013 and 2014-2016, respectively. An interrupted time series analysis using segmented regression was conducted to compare the disease trends between the pre (2003-2007) and post-intensification (2009-2013) periods. Key-informant interviews of state stakeholders were used to collect the information on the various anti-malaria strategies adopted in the state. Results: The state annual malaria incidence declined from 10.82/1000 to 5.28/1000 during 2003-2013 (adjusted annual decline: -0.54/1000, 95% CI: -0.78 to -0.30). However, the annual blood examination rate remained almost unchanged from 11.25% to 11.77%. The keyinformants revealed that intensification of anti-malaria activities in 2008 led to a more rapid decline in malaria incidence during 2009-2013 as compared to that in 2003-2007 [adjusted decline: -0.83 (-1.30 to -0.37) and -0.27 (-0.41 to -0.13), respectively]. There was a significant difference in the two temporal slopes, i.e., -0.054 (-0.10 to -0.002, p = 0.04) per 1000 population per month, between these two periods, indicating almost a 200% greater decline in the post-intensification period. Although, the seven southern high-burden districts registered the highest decline, they continued to remain in that zone, thereby, making the achievement of malaria elimination (incidence <1/1000) unlikely by 2017. Conclusion: The anti-malaria strategies in Odisha, especially their intensification since 2008, have helped improve its malaria situation in recent years. These successful measures need to be sustained and perhaps intensified further for eliminating malaria from Odisha.

Sincerely Shannon: Before summer is over.
It already feels like summer skipped out of town a couple weeks ago and we've been enjoying very mild temperatures with just a bit of a crisp in the air. And I'm loving it. But.... I never blogged about a special part of our summertime. So before it officially becomes fall I'm taking you back to South Carolina for one last fleeting taste of summer.
And as we got closer to our destination we stopped again to grab more sunscreen and some breakfast fixings for our villa and we also had to check out the prettiest tree in the world, the Angel Oak.
Finally we were driving through a tunnel of Spanish moss and pulling through the gates at Kiawah Island. Kiawah is a private beach community so unless you're staying on the property or have a tee time at one of the golf courses you can't get on the island which makes it feel super fancy but also protects this little slice of heaven from hooligans. It's super family friendly, quiet, and utterly relaxing and within about five seconds of being there we were committing to coming back every summer thereafter.
We checked in to our villa then decided to check out The Sanctuary Hotel where T.J.'s conference would be taking place, aka the prettiest, most luxurious hotel I have ever been inside. Jaw dropped and wide eyed we meandered past the pool and then I hurriedly slipped off my sandals and ran to the surf.
Our next stop was to rent beach cruisers for the weekend.It is the perfect way to get around the island and we rode around a bit before dark so we could get our bearings and take note of the best alligator hang outs. Still full from our lunch we opted to skip dinner and go straight to the ice cream parlor. We enjoyed our melting cones in Adirondack chairs with a symphony of cicadas serenading us.
The next morning T.J. left early for his conference and I hopped on my bike and headed down to the beach. I walked up and down the shoreline and called my folks and tried not to brag too much about the view with sparkling waves washing over my feet. Not too long after my old college roommate, who lives in Charleston, arrived to spend the day with us and T.J. came and met us for lunch at the poolside restaurant. The rest of the day was spent on the beach catching up on each others' lives and working on going back to Washington with some semblance of a tan.
We parted with plans to see each other the next day as well, then T.J. and I freshened up and drove into Charleston to meet his med school buddy/groomsmen and his girl friend for rooftop cocktails followed by dinner at Cannon Green.
The next day T.J. played hooky from the conference seminars (this conference really just seemed like an excuse for all these overworked doctors to get away with their families) and we hit up the pool for most of the day. We enjoyed pina coladas and fish tacos and played on the water slides like we were kids and I only had to nag T.J. about reapplying sunscreen a couple times. We moved to the beach later in the day and played bocce ball and enjoyed the salty breeze. That night we went casual. We didn't bother with showering off the sand and sunscreen before we headed to Red's Ice House for some fried shrimp and our last waterside sunset in South Carolina.
T.J. and I are already planning to go back to Kiawah next summer and the summer after that...and you get the picture. I dream about us taking little ones here for family vacations, and it being our beach spot that we go to year after year. It was a perfect end to our vacation and we left feeling totally refreshed and totally reminded of why no matter where we live, or how far we roam, South Carolina will always feel like home.
I enjoyed your post, as always!!
Kiawah is such an awesome family vacation spot. I grew up going there every summer but it wasn't until this winter when we went for our baby moon, that I ever experienced The Sanctuary. It was incredible! Glad you all got in a little vacation before the summer ends!
What a fun summer!! Sounds like the perfect amount of travel and adventure. Rooftop cocktails sound amazing, and that picture makes it LOOK amazing, too! Love your dress!

Q: Applying multiple classes using ng-class Assume that I have two objects in my model: foo that can take two values Foo1 and Foo2 and object bar with two possible values Bar1 and Bar2.
Now, I would like to apply to my div classes based on values of these objects.
Basically, I would like to apply MyclassFoo1 when foo=Foo1, MyclassFoo2 when foo=Foo2 and similarly for bar.
For instance, if foo=Foo1 and bar=Bar2 I would like to end up with

The two problems that I am having here are:

*

*the class names are generated dynamically based on object values

*Foo classes are independent from Bar classes

I've tried to use the syntax

but it doesn't work, as the dictionary keys cannot be composed as 'MyClass' + foo
The other syntax
ng-class="{expr_val1: class1, expr_val2: class2}[expr]"

does not look promissing either: I would have to put all the foo-bar combinations as expression values.
Is there any other way to achieve my goal?

A: I've managed to solve the problem entirely in template, using the list notation in the following way:
ng-class="[foo ? 'MyClass' + foo : '', bar ? 'MyClass' + bar : '']"

You can put arbitrary angular expressions into the list.

A: Have you tried the following?

Even if model.foo or .bar becomes null this will add a non-existing class, which should not matter.

A: Notice that if you want a minus (-) sign in your class name, you should quote the class name (check out 'second-class').
Also you can bind availability of the class name to a function. Function should return boolean.

A: I've found another way!
$scope.foo = 'fooClassName';

gives you

A: This works for me, using array in the View:
just do:

A: I have tried this way and it worked but only drawbacks is it will not updates dynamically when you change the modules


Interspersed throughout the whole Museum are a great range of hands-on activities ranging from 'quiet' to 'active' and all suitable for families to do together. Each activity is linked to an exhibition area so that adults can help children understand the displays whilst having lots of fun.
There are dress-ups, quizzes, croquet on the lawn and art activities, all suitable for families to do together or also very suitable for schools and youth groups, eg Guides.

Liverpool Keeping Tabs On This Turkish Defensive Ace: Is He An Exciting Option For The Reds?
By Anas Molla
Anas Molla
An ageing teenager who apparently still likes Twenty One Pilots and HIMYM. Also fascinated by Greek and Egyptian mythology and history. Still waiting for my man Milos Raonic to win a Grand Slam.
According to Turkish publication Futbol Arena, the Liverpool scouts have been impressed with the performances of Trabzonspor 'keeper Ugurcan Cakir. The 23-year-old has been identified as an ideal back-up for Alisson as the Reds prepare for the potential departure of Simon Mignolet this summer.
Cakir's breakthrough season at Trabzonspor
A product of the Trabzonspor youth academy, Cakir has been a part of the senior side since 2014, barring a short loan spell at 1461 Trabzon back in 2016. But, it wasn't until the 2018/19 campaign that the 23-year-old finally managed to make a breakthrough in the Trabzonspor first-team, thanks to the Onur Kivrak incident.
The 31-year-old veteran verbally abused a fan after the match against Malatyaspor, after which, he was banned indefinitely from the club, and later, the club agreed to terminate his contract. And this paved the way for Cakir to become the first-choice keeper for the Karadeniz Fırtınası.
Cakir has since made 20 appearances for the club in the league, helping Trabzonspor finish fourth in the Superlig. He conceded only 23 goals during that time while keeping five clean sheets.
What can Cakir bring to the table?
One of the things that make Cakir such a sought-after goalkeeper in Turkish football is his composure on the ball. The young 'keeper appears confident with the ball at his feet and is capable of distributing possession from the back. He is also quite quick off his line and can thus play the role of a sweeper 'keeper, which has become a vital asset for any goalkeeper in modern football.
Aside from that, Cakir has a tall frame of 191cm that lets him cover a considerable area in goal while also making him an intimidating figure in the box, especially when it comes to set-pieces. He has notably averaged an impressive 3.5 saves per game this past season.
Should Liverpool make a move for Cakir?
Cakir would be an excellent option for Liverpool for multiple reasons. The Turkish international is young and has room to improve, and given his lack of experience and popularity, it's unlikely he will demand a regular place in the starting lineup.
He is more than capable of playing the role of a cup goalkeeper, although that will be restricted to just domestic cup competitions. And at the age of only 23, he could be a smart long-term investment for the Reds.

Daniel Pollera was born in 1953 in the coastal town of Freeport, New York. His interest in art began at a very young age, gravitating toward drawing and painting the surrounding coastline of Long Island. After a short study at SUNY Farmingdale in Commercial Art, he left to enter the family business. For almost 15 years, Daniel took a sabbatical from painting, but this didn't affect his love for the sea. He obtained a Captain's License in 1977 from the United States Coast Guard and took passengers for hire on the open ocean. Through this experience and visual knowledge he was drawn to begin painting again. Although Daniel is primarily self-taught, he worked with Frances Norris Streit, a portrait and mural artist, assisting her on a 14' x 30' historical mural for the Roslyn Savings Bank. He also studied with Everett Molinari, a well-respected President of the National Mural Society. Museum collections include Long Island Museum, Parrish Art Museum, and Guild Hall Museum. Daniel splits his time between his home in East Quogue, Long Island, NY and Baldwin Harbor, Long Island, NY. These two places offer him inspiration which is the catalyst for his work. "I look for a dramatic setting, filled with light to draw awareness to the image." The light in his coastal scenes is most notable; people often say they wish they were there. His work was recently featured in an episode of the Treasures of New York on the media platform, Thirteen, where he spoke the significance of the unique Bay Houses of Long Island and why they are so often the subjects of his paintings. "We are only passing through this lifetime of ours," Pollera says in reference to his work. "This is a revolving window of constant change and taking in the beauty from a visual perspective is fascinating and interesting; that is what fuels my passion. Living within close proximity to the salt marshes and shoreline has enabled me to capture a moment in time. I feel a deep connection with my subject and it constantly inspires me. I hope that I convey a feeling through my paintings that will be shared for generations and reflect our love for the local waters as they are today."

The Chevy Volt: The Belt and Suspenders of the Automotive World
Reader Contribution By David Borden
Tags: electric vehicles, reviews, David Borden,
In this guest series, former hot-rodder and mechanical engineer David Borden offers advice for first-time electric-vehicle drivers by reviewing the 2017 Chevy Volt Premier. Watch the Green Transportation Blog for David's additional notes.
In keeping with my cautious and frugal Yankee heritage and senior status, I am slowly transitioning to a single car. As an interim step, I bought a 2017 Chevrolet Volt Premier with two optional safety and convenience packages, and these are my initial impressions.
I would have liked to have made the change directly to a single fully-electric vehicle, but the limited number of charging stations available today, and the time required to recharge, meant compromises were in order. The majority of my trips are urban short-haul in nature, but I still need the occasional run across several states to visit friends and family, so jumping to total electric power was not prudent. I needed range which was not limited by the current availability of plug-in recharging stations.
The Volt met that criterion: As long as the propulsion battery is charged, it will function as an electric car — for a guaranteed 53 miles — and then transition to a gasoline-powered hybrid, using the propulsion battery as an energy buffer. With that capability, range is extended by several hundred miles and only limited by the availability of gasoline, hence the Chevrolet name for the IC Engine, "Range Extender".
Advice for First-Time Electric Vehicle Drivers
If you haven't driven an Electric Vehicle (EV) before, it is a new experience. Different, but similar enough so that transition from a "normal" car is easy. There is no key; slip the fob provided into your pocket, slide behind the wheel, buckle up, and "boot-up" the computer …
Wait, wait, come back! No need to be scared of it, because the command is transmitted through a normal-looking, large, blue button on the dash labeled "Power" — a starter button just like Grandad had in his 1950 Ford. Push the button (with your foot on the brake), and both screens flash and all manner of icons illuminate as the computer awakens and checks the car's systems for correct function.
The screen in front of the driver is circular, reminiscent of every analog speedometer we've ever viewed, and has two large arc gauges displaying fuel levels and digital readouts of estimated range remaining. Speed is displayed digitally. This pod also displays alerts affecting safe operation and is directly in front of the driver; it comes easily to eye while driving. The large centered screen to the right answers to commands and displays "nice to have" information and the rear-view TV image.
The point is that modern cars, like our driving environment, need to be and are necessarily complex. Small process control computers integrated into the auto now help us master modern driving.
Keeping Volt Batteries Charged and Issues of Range
I use the supplied 110VAC Charger to keep the propulsion batteries charged. It is a simple matter to pull into my parking spot and plug-in, letting the vehicle charge overnight or until the next time it is used. The on-board computer controls the charging cycle, and no other input or action is required. (I don't know if keeping the batteries continually "topped-off" has a beneficial effect, or if the computer considers my typical driving cycle and weather, but as of late the charged range estimate shown on the instrument panel is between 68 and 70 miles! Actual use tends to confirm this.)
For the first 1,000 miles, I have driven predominantly on the stored battery power — I have only needed the Range Extender twice, and I have used less than a gallon of gas. Repeat: Less than a gallon of gas in the first 1000 miles! (I anticipate receiving "Get Well Soon, Dave" cards from Texas and Saudi Arabia!)
When the propulsion batteries are drawn down to a pre-determined level, the Range Extender fires up automatically, and will propel the car until all gasoline is used. Since there are gasoline stations available on most corners, there is no such thing as the oft cited and feared, "Range Anxiety" with this car.
All design involves compromise, and cars are a great example of the various trade-offs that are required to produce a marketable product. The choices Chevrolet has made for the Volt are excellent. There are a whole series of excellent videos on YouTube made by Chevrolet Engineers, which go into great detail about the power plants (there are two) and transmission wizardry, and the tremendous technology we as customers are getting. Accepted.
But, my analogy is, "If I'm buying an axe, do I really care about where the shaft wood was grown, and how they forged the head"? No, what I care about is how it works, and this car works well. Some may think that's lazy, but I depend upon market forces in this emerging market segment to drive the technology. True competition is a lovely thing for us consumers!
Chevy Volt's ground clearance
Notes on Volt Body Design
The first compromise is in the shape of the car. For efficiency, today's cars must pass through the air easily, which results in the "Melted Lozenge" designs which characterize modern automobiles. Smooth, aerodynamic lines with heavy wind-tunnel influence — the ideal shapes that every fifth-grade boy intuitively knew were correct and filled his copy books with.
The front, a bullet nose flattened and shaped to enter still air smoothly and guide it around, under, and over the car. The rear, faired to pass the air on with minimal effort and truncated in a flat surface as dictated by Dr. Kamm.
Windshield and rear window glass heavily sloped to cut aero losses and sealed flat with the surrounding bodywork. A four-door because the market segment the car is aimed at are families, and it has a hatch back and foldable rear seats for access and utility, again to meet a family's needs. Sounds great — until we get to the compromises.
Design Not Without Compromise
First, you are now sitting deep in an enveloping structure. Safe, secure, womb-like, but the old ideal of seeing all four fenders from the driver's seat is only a hazy memory in this car. Chevrolet apparently recognized this shortcoming and has utilized emerging technology (from autonomous car development?) to help the driver.
For 30-plus years, engineers have been using computers to optimize engine performance, sampling variables and using on-board control to limit fuel consumption and maximize horsepower. Now, this car's computer also supplements the driver's field of vision with a series of sensors around the waist of the car intended to warn the driver of objects that are too close, fore and aft. It warns of cross traffic, overtaking vehicles and idiots lurking in your blind spots.
And, to help with a reduced rear view, the car has a TV system which displays guide lines on the central screen indicating distance to objects and field of travel. The wizardry includes "Path of Travel" adjustments to the guide lines — while in reverse gear, turns to the steering wheel bend and curve the guide lines on the TV to indicate course of travel. Neat solution and confidence building.
The platform is stiff and rigid, giving a road feel much like much heavier luxury cars of the past. Kudos to those who designed the unibody structure and worked out the joining techniques; the car plays well above its weight class.
There are costs to obtaining that stiffness: The side sill step-over is wide, and the rear hatch lift-over height is very high. Upon reflection, both are acceptable. The sill width is easily made familiar, and the rear hatch lip is no higher than an average shopping cart; most grocery shoppers won't be troubled by the height.
The doors shut with a satisfying "thunk", which I associate with luxury cars costing much more than this. I think Harley Earl and the boys at Fisher Body would approve of the quality feel. Similarly, the application of power is smooth and continuous, and I'm sure the GM designers who labored long and hard to design and build smooth automatic transmissions — the fellows who developed "Hydramatic", "Dynaflow", and "Powerglide" — were they to come back and drive this car would all say, "Yeah, that's the stuff". A nod also to those responsible for the Front Wheel Drive Geometry. The car has a very tight turning radius, and displays no "torque steer" under acceleration.
Door weight may be due to side beams — the car is highly rated by independent testing labs in collision tests. It's rated a safe car. By my count, there are no less than nine airbags within the cabin, which is a very good thing. But it comes with a cost: The space above the two front doors where once there would have been an assist handle is now occupied by an airbag. I have enough personal frame impairments to miss having the handle and find myself reaching up onto the roof and grabbing the drain channel to aid egress. (Can't help but wonder how I'll fare come the first snowfalls.)
Also, my same physical problems require a modified entry method: I back up to the car's door opening, bend forward and sit on the seat, bring my frame erect within the cabin, then turn, swinging my legs into the car. Until I got used to the low door opening height, I bumped my head on the frame — and I still do occasionally.
It must be noted that the "B" pillar immediately behind the driver is substantial, and looks to give great roof support. Gone are the days of structurally weak, four-door hardtops without a "B" pillar! Good riddance! I would expect this car to perform well in side-impact and rollover testing, and real-life situations.
The rear seats fold down in what looks to be a 60/40 split, and the hatch opens wide, increasing the usefulness of the car. It is obviously not a light truck or a 1970s station wagon capable of carrying sheets of plywood, but it handles modest items and sacks of groceries, feed and fertilizer quite nicely. We found that with the rear seats upright the trunk accepted a notoriously bulky item, a folding Travel Wheel Chair, easily.
There is a side panel cubby for charger storage, and the car came with a fabric luggage cover to hide trunk contents. The hatch has a convenient hand grab to allow it to be easily closed and has pneumatic assist cylinders for easy opening.
Stay tuned in about one week for additional notes in Part 2.

Pretty nice of Tmother oearth news to put out an advertisement for the Chevy Volt. To those that can afford $33,000 for a Volt, or whatever price for some other electric car, congratulations. However, even if I could afford one, I wouldn't even look. I need a truck, and when someone does come out with an electric truck, I won't be able to afford that either. So I'll continue to drive my 2001 Ford F150 until it dies, then I'll buy another used truck, and continue to burn more gas.

Also have a 2017 Volt Premier. Am retired. Have driven 6,000 miles over 8 months of local driving. I still have 2 gallons of gas in the tank from when I bought the car from the dealer! Am not a "tree hugger", just a common sense person (I have a rooftop solar system because is saves money) . I've probably owned / driven 30 cars over my lifetime. The Volt is the easily the best of them all. Per Chevy 80% +/- of Volt owners charge using 120 volts.

As a Chevy Volt owner myself, I am a big proponent of plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) over all electric cars (BEV) like Teslas, Leafs, and Bolts. In fact, if I were to make an early bet now, I believe PHEVs like the Chevy Volt will win hands down over all electric BEVs once people start driving electric cars and realize they don't need 200 mile batteries because their home is the "gas" station where they can easily fill up with electricity every night. The best way to describe a PHEV is "Electricity for your daily commute and gasoline for your weekend getaways". This combination makes sense for two reasons 1) Lithium-Ion batteries are very heavy. A Tesla battery weighs 1,200 lbs in which you are only using 10~15% of it on a daily commute basis. That means you are lugging around 1,000 lbs of unused batteries which is the equivalent of hauling three full size refrigerators in your everyday commute! 2) And when you are making those infrequent long weekend getaways, filling up at a gas station is still far more convenient than waiting 1~4 hours at a charging station assuming it's even available. When those Model 3s become popular, lineups at freeway/highway charging stations will invariably become common. With a PHEV, you can switch back to gas mode for those infrequent weekend getaways and don't have to worry about lineups or non-existent charging stations.

Suicidal Subject Shoots Self In Front Of Deputies
Johnny Hern, age 32 was transported to Johnson County Regional Medical Center on Sunday, May 24 to be treated for a self-inflicted gunshot wound after being confronted by deputies. The Sheriff's Office received a 911 call at approximately 1:15 p.m. that Hern had a pistol and was threatening bodily harm to himself at his residence on County Road 2250 near Hartman. Deputies Glenda Morrison and Tim Wages arrived at the Hern residence at approximately 1:30 p.m. and saw Hern in the driveway of his residence. The deputies made contact with Hern who refused to show his hands and told the deputies he wanted no help. Hern was leaning over with his hands between his legs while speaking with the deputies. Hern then stood up, turned around and shot himself in the right shoulder with a .25 caliber handgun. An ambulance was called and Hern was transported for treatment. The investigation is continuing.
