4 Tricks Strong Women Do That Make Them Incredibly Attractive
Aug 11, 2016, 13:00 EDT
You know those enviable women who seem to effortlessly catch men's attention wherever they go? The ones who walk into a room and instantly make every guy swoon without lifting a finger?
While it's tempting to simply be jealous of these women, you'd be much better off learning what tricks they have up their sleeves. (Just because they make it look effortless doesn't mean it is, after all.)
We went directly to the YourTango Experts to discover exactly what it is about these strong women that makes men fall for them like no other, and it turns out that their secrets are SUPER simple. In fact, any woman, no matter how shy or nervous, can put these tips to good use and see a huge difference in her dating life.

These are the 4 things ALL strong women do that make men crazy about them:
1. They're fiercely independent.
Strong women know what they want out of life, and — more importantly — they know that if they want something, they have to get it for themselves. Taking that kind of initiative doesn't scare them; it's just part of who they are.
This quality is extremely important when it comes to dating, too. "Be independent," says Arianna Thomopulus. "No one likes to feel they're the sole purpose for someone else's happiness. I have a quote that states 'You never want someone to complete your life, you want them to complement it.' And be strong, both figuratively and literally. You don't have to be strong all the time, but let him know you got this!"

2. They don't need a man, they want one.
Guys have a kind of sixth sense for desperation in women, and they usually don't find it attractive (and if they do, they probably have shady motives anyway). For strong women, having a man in their lives isn't a necessity, it's a plus.
According to expert Sarah Kowolski, this applies even when you feel like your biological clock is ticking faster than you'd like. "Don't desperately search for a baby daddy, even if you're approaching the end of your fertility," she says. "Men can smell the desperation and urgency to have a baby pronto, and it usually makes them bolt. Instead, if you're reaching 40 and really want a baby, go have a baby on your own and return to finding a romantic partner afterward. You remove desperation and urgency from your life, and show that you're independent, self-possessed and not afraid to make your dreams a reality. That combination is irresistible to the right man."

3. They're confident in themselves.
Strong women know exactly who they are, and aren't afraid to show it. That quality is one of the many things that great guys love about them.
Arianna Thomopulus says, "Be Confident. Don't be cocky or ego-driven, but do remember and know your worth and what you bring to the table." And don't be afraid to show off your unique quirks or even your wild side once in a while. She adds, "Men want to know you have a healthy appetite, not only at the table but for life as well."
A woman who is confident carries herself differently, and men definitely notice that distinction.
"There's something incredibly attractive about a woman who loves herself, is comfortable in her own skin, and embraces all that she is. She stands tall, appreciates her unique qualities and sees that she is beautiful in her own way," says expert Jessica Brighton. "I call this self-love and it's not always easy to do, but once you fall in love with yourself others will too. It took me years to learn self-love and self-acceptance. I spent most of my life feeling insecure, comparing myself to others and focusing on what I wasn't as opposed to what I was. Once I recognized that my uniqueness was a gift and appreciated who I was and the experiences that shaped me, others began to take notice and appreciated me for who I was and what I had been through in my life. I hope that you also embrace and love yourself and everything that you are."

4. They don't play games.
Guys who are actually worth your time aren't going to be playing games when it comes to dating, so why should you?
Expert Janet Og Zimmerman explains, "Strong women who are incredibly attractive communicate openly, knowing that it's essential to a meaningful and harmonious relationship. By expressing their true thoughts and feelings, they're understood and their partner feels safe to open up and share in return. In difficult situations, they listen openly and communicate respectfully."
Sounds like a win-win to us!

To be a strong woman, you don't have to change yourself, you just need to be yourself and be proud of it. That is what will really make great guys find you irresistible.

Salt-Water Moon Makes Magic for End of Season
Posted on October 21, 2013 by llpayette
by Lorraine Payette, written October 20, 2013
(GANANOQUE, ONTARIO) Jacob Mercer is about ready to admit he's a fool. Maybe a bit of a heel, a jerk, perhaps even a rogue. But he's returned to Coley's Point, Newfoundland, after a whole year away to win back the love of his life and start over in perfect, newfound happiness. At 18 he's a new man, mature, and ready for anything.
Mary Snow, however, has other plans in mind. She, too, has had a whole year to grow and think. And she thinks she'd really prefer marrying Jerome McKenzie, a rich man's son and Jacob's nemesis. After all, he's reliable, he's predictable, the future will be so secure with him….
But when the two start sparking under that Salt-Water Moon, surprises are in store for all concerned.
A sweet play about young love, the story takes place in 1926. These were uncertain times in many ways, and the world was quite different from the way we see it today. Men and women had distinct roles, and a family's entire fortune could change with the death or absence of even a single key member. Not only does it take us through the love of these two characters – the humour, the tears, the frustrations and triumphs – but it also gives us a glimpse of the times themselves. From Mary's courage in taking on work as a housekeeper while trying to help her sister (who is confined to an orphanage) to Jacob's need to go far afield to seek work, only to return home once again to the life he'd always known, the details pull things together and we see life as it was.
Set and costumes, accompanied by excellent lighting and sound, contribute greatly to the performances. Edward Charette and Shannon Taylor work well together as Jacob and Mary, and the set adds tremendously to the believability of the show. Amazingly three-dimensional, we almost expect Mary to ascend stairs and call down to him from a second story window.
Ashlie Corcoran has done an admirable job directing this piece. With only two characters to work with, it remains alive and interesting from beginning to end. As the final show in the Playhouse's 2013 season, it comes off both strong and sweet, a perfect way to finish up a stellar year.
"Salt-Water Moon" will be running at the Springer Theatre in Gananoque for its final two weeks, ending on November 2. Show times are Tuesday through Saturday 8:00 pm, with matinees Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 pm (starting the Wednesday after opening night). Tickets are $32 for adults, $30 for seniors age 65+, $16 for students (HST will be added to all prices). Group tickets are available at $26 – $28 each including GST.

Israel arrests "Freedom Riders" challenging apartheid road system
Jillian Kestler-D'Amours The Electronic Intifada Jerusalem 15 November 2011
Palestinian activists staged a protest inspired by the Freedom Riders of the US civil rights movement.
Anne Paq ActiveStills
"I'm a Freedom Rider! I'm just trying to go to Jerusalem!" shouted Palestinian activist Huwaida Arraf Tuesday evening as a live Internet video feed showed Israeli police officers dragging her off a bus linking Israeli settlements in the West Bank to Jerusalem.
Arraf and five other Palestinian activists boarded segregated Israeli public bus number 148 — which connects the illegal Israeli settlement of Ariel to Jerusalem — on Tuesday in an act of civil disobedience aimed to draw attention to Israeli colonial and apartheid policies and the lack of basic human rights Palestinians are afforded under this system.
After sitting peacefully on the bus at Israel's Hizma checkpoint, just outside the northern entrance to Jerusalem, and nonviolently resisting attempts by the Israeli authorities to get them off the bus, all six "Freedom Riders" were eventually removed by force and arrested for illegally entering Israel without permits.
Another Palestinian Freedom Rider was also arrested while attempting to ride the segregated buses, and according to a Freedom Riders press release, was taken with the six other activists to Atarot police station ("Palestinian Freedom Riders On Their Way to Jerusalem Violently Arrested on Israeli Settler Bus").
Their protest action was inspired by the Freedom Riders of the civil rights movement in the United States, who nonviolently challenged segregation in the American South in the 1950s and 1960s.
"It's going to be a challenge for Palestinians and for every human being for their morality. It's going to be a challenge for the whole world to really take action against the Israeli crimes," Palestinian Freedom Riders spokesperson Hurriyah Ziada told The Electronic Intifada on Monday.
While Palestinians are not explicitly barred from boarding Israeli public transportation in the West Bank, since most buses pass through Israeli settlements that are off-limits to Palestinians, the system is de facto segregated.
"Our challenge is going to be on the ground dealing with the settlers, but on the other hand, we're waiting for the peoples' reactions and the world's reactions. Enough talk; we need real action on the ground and for people to take a side, taking a rightful side against Israeli discrimination," Ziada said.
Tense hours at the checkpoint
The Freedom Riders left Ramallah Tuesday afternoon and headed to a bus stop in the occupied West Bank, which serves Israeli settlers near the Israeli settlement of Psagot. After a few buses drove past the Palestinian activists without stopping, six Freedom Riders, and a large group of journalists, managed to board a bus.
The bus was reportedly followed along its route by Israeli soldiers and police, and was stopped shortly after arriving at the Hizma checkpoint. Once there, Israeli settlers who had been on the bus got off, and Israeli soldiers and police officers boarded to check passengers' IDs, according to images broadcast on the Freedom Waves live Internet video feed.
"The Israelis can't take the wait and so they are getting off the bus. Let them see what we have to go through and let them ask why this is happening, and why it has to happen this way in order to try to change things," said Freedom Rider Huwaida Arraf, as the settlers stood up and began leaving the bus, as documented in the Freedom Waves video feed.
"Whether they're corralled in pens at checkpoints or held up and detained, not told why, arrested, held for days, weeks, sometimes months without any kind of legal justification at all … this happens to Palestinians every day," she said.
"I want people to see the apartheid system here"
The Electronic Intifada spoke directly with Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh, one of the Freedom Riders, at approximately 4:20pm local time on Tuesday, as he sat on the bus at the checkpoint.
"We're on the bus. They just moved us a few yards beyond the [Hizma] checkpoint. We are in a parking lot and the soldiers are asking us to come down from the bus. The people refuse to come down from the bus. They are telling [us] that [we] are detained and [we] have to come from the bus. We don't know yet what they are going to do. They took one person from the bus. There's [Israeli] special forces, border police, regular police and soldiers surrounding the bus," Qumsiyeh said.
"I don't know [what will happen] but I think we will be punished severely," Qumsiyeh, who was later arrested with the five other Freedom Riders, added. "I want [people] to see that we have an apartheid system here. There are illegal, colonial settlements in our land. These settlements have their own buses and they get to Jerusalem without anybody checking them, yet we, the native Palestinians, are not allowed to get to Jerusalem."
Freedom of movement severely restricted
Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are illegal according to international law, including the Geneva conventions. It is estimated that approximately 500,000 Jewish Israelis currently live in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem estimates that from 1967 — when Israel imposed its military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip — to mid-2010, the Israeli government established 121 settlements in the West Bank that were officially recognized by the Israeli Ministry of Interior.
In that same period, approximately 100 settler outposts, considered illegal under both international and Israeli laws, were erected, while twelve so-called "neighborhoods" of Jerusalem were built on land illegally annexed by Israel and are thereby also illegal under international law.
According to B'Tselem, Israel has created a system of "separation and discrimination, with two separate systems of law" in the occupied West Bank.
"One system, for the settlers, de facto annexes the settlements to Israel and grants settlers the rights of citizens of a democratic state. The other is a system of military law that systematically deprives Palestinian of their rights and denies them the ability to have any real effect on shaping the policy regarding the land space in which they live and with respect to their rights," B'Tselem states on its website ("Land expropriation and settlements").
Restrictions on Palestinian freedoms do not end at the settlements themselves, however. Instead, Palestinians' rights are also violated by the infrastructure built to accommodate Israeli settlers, especially private, Israeli-only roads. "In October 2010, there were 232 kilometers of roads in the West Bank that Israel classified for the sole, or almost sole, use of Israelis, primarily of settlers," says B'Tselem ("Checkpoints, Physical Obstructions, and Forbidden Roads").
"Israel also prohibits Palestinians from even crossing some of these roads with vehicles, thereby restricting their access to nearby roads that they are ostensibly not prohibited from using. In these cases, Palestinians travelers have to get out of the vehicle, cross the road on foot, and find an alternative mode of transportation on the other side," according to the human rights group.
Veolia a boycott target for serving settlements
Egged, Israel's largest public transportation company, operates the bus that the Freedom Riders boarded in the West Bank Tuesday. French company Veolia also operates bus lines serving illegal Israeli settlements throughout the occupied West Bank.
According to the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), which organizes around the 2005 Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel as a way to end Israeli violations of international law and promote Palestinian rights, Egged and Veolia "are complicit in Israel's violations of international law due to their involvement in and profiting from Israel's illegal settlement infrastructure."
Palestinian Freedom Rides Spokesperson Hurriyah Ziada told The Electronic Intifada that promoting the BDS call — and the specific boycott of and divestment from Egged and Veolia — is a major aim of the Freedom Rides movement.
"We're trying to support the BDS campaign," Ziadah said. "Negotiations have been going for too long and we haven't been achieving anything on the ground. Everybody knows that these settlements are illegal on our land, but nobody is doing anything. Israel is not paying any cost for any of its actions. They have to pay a price by people boycotting them and by highlighting how racist they are. We ask for human rights and freedom, justice and dignity."
"In the civil rights movement, they were fighting against racism," Ziadah added, "but we're going to be fighting against racism, discrimination [and] occupation. We're going to be fighting to exist."

James Harris Gallery is pleased to present our third annual Holiday Pop Up, a temporary group exhibition to celebrate the holiday season. This show features a choice selection of diverse art objects including ceramic pieces, small paintings, mixed media works, and works on paper that offer the perfect gift for any art lover. The exhibition runs for only two weeks, and includes pieces by participating artists Nancy Brooks Brody, Claire Cowie, Mary Fischer, Claudia Fitch, Ayumi Horie, Fay Jones, Cameron Martin, Jenny Mendes, Alyson Shotz, Akio Takamori, Ehren Tool, Brad Winchester, Andrew Witkin, and Bing Wright. From functional ceramic such as Mendes' bowls and Tool's donation based cups about war to Brody's "Book Mark paintings" and Shotz's "Imaginary Sculptures," this exhibition offers informal and intimate interactions with unique art objects that come to life through viewer engagement. The work in this show is both accessible and precious, exploring the realm of the mundane in artists' practices.
Wright has always been fascinated by the correlation between the photo and a mirror, both being silver based picture planes. At the beginning of his artistic career, Wright was exposed to the potential of the medium by John Szarkowski's legendary exhibition Mirror and Windows in 1978, which reconstructed the framework of the photographic image as a two-dimensional pictorial surface into a conceptual space. With a postmodern perspective of the photographic image, the medium expanded into diverse practices that continue to reorient our relationship to photography.
Bing Wright was born in Seattle in 1958 and received a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Columbia University, New York. His work been shown in exhibitions at the New Museum, New York; White Columns, New York; the Queens Museum of Art, New York; and the Tang Museum and Art Gallery, Saratoga Springs, among others. His work is in several public collections, including The Museum of Modern Art, the Portland Art Museum, the Seattle Art Museum, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase Bank, and Citigroup. Wright recently curated an exhibition of 1970s photography from the collection of the Washington Art Consortium. He lives and works in New York City.


Lukman Saifuddin, the new Religious Affairs Minister of Indonesia, has called for the Baha'i Faith to become the next state-recognized religion.
In a response to a query from the Home Affairs Ministry regarding the status of the religion, Lukman asserted that Baha'i is protected under the Indonesian Constitution, and added that adherents should thus be given official recognition by the state. This would allow Baha'i followers to list their religion on all official documents such as identity cards, licenses, certificates, and property deeds, which can be difficult to obtain for Indonesia's religious minorities. Many believe that this move, along with the election of Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, proves that Indonesia is becoming a more tolerant and open society.
In 2000, Baha'i was legalized in Indonesia, a country with a high degree of religious diversity. The Indonesian state officially recognizes six different religions: Islam, Catholicism, Buddhism, Protestantism, Hinduism, and Confucianism. With the recent call from Lukman Saifuddin for Baha'i to be granted official status, it may be set to become Indonesia's seventh official faith. Due to its diversity and the close proximity of mutually opposed religious faiths, Indonesia has struggled with religious violence between certain sects. Despite this, however, Baha'i enjoys more freedoms there than in nations such as Iran and Egypt where it is still heavily restricted.
Baha'i is a monotheistic religion native to Persia. Founded in the 19th century, its leader was exiled from Persia to the Ottoman Empire, where he died a captive. The faith then later spread to Iran, where it is still heavily persecuted. It is estimated that there are currently over 5 million adherents to the faith scattered in almost every country in the world. The Baha'i teachings stress the oneness of God, asserting that all creation comes from Him, and that God speaks through chosen prophets. Baha'i adherents believe that these divine messengers exist in Abrahamic religions such as Islam and Christianity as well as Dharmic faiths such as Buddhism and Hinduism. Baha'i stresses the unity of mankind and the unity of all religions, stating that like all creation, all major religions come from the same God.

Visit Sunshine Coast Food Ambassador Alejandro Cancino has opened the doors to his own Sunshine Coast cafe: Lola's Pantry.
Award-winning chef Alejandro Cancino is changing the face of the Sunshine Coast food scene with the opening of his café: Lola's Pantry.
Alejandro is the former executive chef of Brisbane's only three-hatted restaurant, Urbane, and has travelled the globe working in some of the world's top-ranking restaurants.
Now based on the Sunshine Coast, Argentinian-born Alejandro is using his extensive knowledge of the industry to champion his passion for plant-based cuisine.
And Lola's Pantry, which opened in Kuluin earlier this week, will undoubtedly change the way you view vegan food.
"We don't advertise this as plant based or vegan, there is nothing on the sign, we just want it to be good food that happens to be vegan," Alejandro explained.
On the menu is gnocchi with mushrooms and broad beans, scrambled tofu on toast and a selection of salads and savoury tarts.
Alejandro relocated to the Sunshine Coast earlier this year with his wife Paola and their 13-month-old daughter, Lola, who the café is named after.
"Every time I do something on the menu I will be thinking of her, would I serve this to her, and would I be happy if she eats this," Alejandro said.
Alejandro's plant-based philosophy is one that is shared by an ever-growing vegan community on the Sunshine Coast.
His cafe will work hand-in-hand with local producers and his existing company Fenn Foods, which produces vegan cheeses and condiments.
And while he is currently focused on building Lola's Pantry, Alejandro said he has not ruled out making a return to fine dining here on the Coast.
"It all depends on what the response is, but I want to do more to develop and research what we can do with plant-based food," he said.
Through his role as the Visit Sunshine Coast Food Ambassador, Alejandro is helping put the region on the map as a food tourism destination.
Lola's Pantry is located at 4 Melaleuca St Kuluin and is open for breakfast and lunch 8:30am-3:30pm, Tuesday-Saturday. The café is also open Saturday nights from 5:30pm with a feast-style menu, booking required, and will introduce a Friday night comfort food menu at 5:30pm from next week, no booking required.

Q: Unfamiliar Node.js express router format I'm taking a course that provides the following code:
const router = express.Router();

router
  .route('/')
  .get(getBootcamps)
  .post(createBootcamp)

The above snippet means that GET and POST for the "/" endpoint have different routes.
I've never seen formatting like this so it's strange to me.
Why wouldn't we need separate routes for .get and .post? What is going on under the hood here? How can one be ignored?

A: Actually you're right. We should separate the get and post methods into separate methods rather than chaining into the same Express router.
The example code, you've written, it is also correct. But not recommended to be followed when dealing with large projects having many lines of business logic, we would make your code look heavy and difficult to read and understand. So it's better to separate.
Ps. There is no difference in output or performance, in any case, opted. At last, it's a matter of personal preference.

Agents earning commission income should find lenders more receptive to their home loan applications. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have made changes to their automated underwriting program to make it faster, more cost-effective, and less risky for lenders to consider these mortgage loan applications.
This edition of The Voice for Real Estate is sponsored by the REALTOR Benefits® program.
If you're self-employed, your chances of getting a home loan just got better.
Is staging worth it? NAR research shows, yes!
And a REALTOR® tells Congress: data security doesn't have to be hard.
The Voice for Real Estate is sponsored by NAR's REALTOR Benefits® Program, your official member benefits resource bringing you savings and unique offers on products and services just for REALTORS®. Learn more at nar.realtor/RealtorBenefits.
Hi, I'm Stephen Gasque of the National Association of REALTORS®.
There's good news for you as a real estate professional. Lenders can now examine your mortgage application as a self-employed businessperson in just a fraction of the time it used to take. The faster process is also more cost efficient, so some lenders that wouldn't have tried to get your business in the past could start to do so.
What's behind this good news? Changes to the automated processing system used by the nation's two largest sources of mortgage money: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Here's NAR's Ken Fears with more.
You could see the biggest impact of this change in rural areas, where community banks could now find it more cost effective to take loan applications that they would not have taken before.
Professional staging isn't cheap but NAR data suggest it can make a big difference in buying and selling a home. Eighty-three percent of buyer's agents say staging helps consumers see the home as their own, which can lead to more offers. And more than half of listing agents say it shortens the amount of time on the market. What's more, half of those agents say it speeds up the sale dramatically. Here's Carol Griffith, broker of Griffith Realty in Brighton, Mich., on how you can use this information.
Here's more from an agent who sees the value in staging.
The report found staging the living room has the most impact on buyers.
No one is more concerned about protecting customers' information than you - as a real estate professional. It's part of the NAR Code of Ethics. That's the message Nina Dosanjh, a REALTOR® with Vangard Properties in San Francisco, took to Capitol Hill last week. In testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee, she also said privacy rules that aren't carefully crafted can hurt small businesses.
Data privacy is an issue you'll be hearing more about, as email fraud and other scams continue to grow.
Two other REALTORS® were recently on Capitol Hill as well. NAR President-elect Vince Malta told the Senate Banking Committee that the federal government should continue to back 30-year, fixed-rate conventional mortgages, no matter how Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are reformed.
And Mabel Guzman, a residential real estate broker in Chicago, told the House Financial Services Committee that federal flood insurance-which she said should be reformed and reauthorized for the long-term-is vital to home sales in every part of the country, not just the coastal areas.
It's not unusual for Congress to hear from so many REALTORS® on such a wide range of issues, because lawmakers know, and appreciate, that no professional knows more about protecting property owners and renters and strengthening communities than REALTORS®.
And now a home sales update for you, and the news is good. Sales are up on a monthly basis but that's not all. Consumer attitudes about the market are improving, too.
First the sales numbers. Here's NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun on existing-home sales data for February.
In a good sign for future home sales, 38 percent of households say now is a good time to buy, compared to just 34 percent last quarter. That's according to NAR's latest survey on consumer attitudes. Yun pointed to lower interest rates as one reason people are more optimistic.

L'Ordine Nuovo (Italian for "The New Order") was a weekly newspaper established in 1919 in Turin, Italy, by a group, including Antonio Gramsci, Angelo Tasca and Palmiro Togliatti, within the Italian Socialist Party. The group were admirers of the Russian Revolution and strongly supported the immediate creation of soviets in Italy. They believed that existing factory councils of workers could be strengthened so that they could become the basis of a communist revolution.[1] However, Amadeo Bordiga, who would become the founder of the Communist Party of Italy, criticised the plan as syndicalism, saying that soviets should only be created after Italy had come under communist control.[2]
Initially the newspaper, which was founded with union backing, focused on cultural politics, but in June 1919, the month following its founding, Gramsci and Togliatti pushed Tasca out and re-focused as a revolutionary voice.[3] The newspaper reached a circulation of 6,000 by the end of the year and its reputation was heightened by its support of the April 1920 general strike, which the Socialist Party and the affiliated General Confederation of Labor did not support.[4] In January 1921, Bordiga and the supporters of L'Ordine Nuovo left the Socialist Party in order to establish the new Communist Party of Italy[5]

In rare cases, an ischemic infarction can occur during an attack of migraine with aura. An infarction is an area of tissue death due to obstruction of the local circulation, aka stroke. When this occurs, without other reasons, it's termed a migrainous infarction. It can occur in a migraine with aura attack that's like previous attacks, except that one or more aura symptoms last longer than 60 minutes.
A diagnosis of migrainous infarction requires imaging to confirm the infarction and to rule out other causes. Since time is critical in treating infarction successfully, it's essential to get care immediately if we think it's possible that we've had an infarction. Therefore, it's important for everyone to know the symptoms of infarction / stroke. You can read more about these symptoms in Stroke - The Basics.
For consistency in diagnosing and classifying head pain disorders, the _International Headache Society'_s International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd Edition (ICHD-3), is generally accepted as the "gold standard." This provides standardization of diagnoses, providing guidance and reducing confusion.
Ischaemic stroke in a migraine sufferer may be categorized as cerebral infarction of other cause coexisting with migraine, cerebral infarction of other cause presenting with symptoms resembling migraine with aura, or cerebral infarction occurring during the course of a typical migraine with aura attack. Only the last fulfills criteria for 1.4.3 Migrainous infarction.

Q: On a Cruzbike Quest, the black seat tube wiggles. A customer asks how to identify and fix the problem.
I am having trouble getting the seat-back to be held securely by the tube arrangement. The black tube wiggles in the frame tube. I have tightened the clasp as much as I think I can, but it still wiggles, with the net being the back is lower than I would prefer.
The seat tube. Indeed, this should not be loose.
– Ring/quick release (QR) clamp is around the lower (frame section) of the seat tube, as opposed to being loose and floating on the upper (black) part of the seat tube.
– The ring/QR clamp is tight.
– Clamp has nothing interfering with its closing and tightening. Check both ends: the clamp and the "end screw." The water bottle cages might interfere with this in some positions, but it need not. There's a sweet spot where the clamp closes securely but there's no interference from the bottle cages.
– No looseness in the bolts at the top of the seat, which hold the seat and racks.
– Clamp is right side up (there is a ridge on the top side of the clamp).
– Clamp is oriented so that the closing part of the circular clamp is oriented with the cut-out in the frame, where the seat tube is inserted into the frame.
– Remove and reset the ring/clamp around the frame to make sure it's properly seated.
– Make sure the upper (black) part of the seat tube is securely inserted into the frame.
– The seat braces are properly oriented. The seat braces connect the seat tube to the seat. Generally, the braces should be somewhere between 180 degrees (vertical, running from the top of the seat tube up to the seat) to 90 degrees (with the seat braces running horizontally from the seat tube to the seat). As you get to know the attachments here, you can experiment with this, even going so far as to turn the seat tube backwards in order to gain an extreme recline. The main thing though is to ensure the seat tube is adequately seated into the frame to provide a secure connection there.

Hi and welcome to my site. My name is Surinder Bhomra. This is a site for all things technical and anything else that may interest me. Have a browse and let me know what you think. I am always interested in feedback relating to any of my posts.
Experienced developer with over 10 years experience, working alongside many industry sectors, developing pretty cool solutions for TV, retail and corporate.
Well, what can I tell you about me? I've been interested in computers from a young age ever since the day my Dad bought home our first computer. An Acorn Archimedes A3000. Classic! I then went onto studying IT throughout my school years. My interest in learning the basics in HTML and programming eventually led me to Oxford Brookes University where I graduated with a BSc Information Systems in 2006. After University, I became a full-time programmer working in .NET technologies, mainly specialising in ASP.NET web applications.
I am an experienced developer with around 10 years experience and throughout that time had the pleasure working alongside many industry sectors, developing pretty cool solutions for TV, retail and corporate. I love working in Microsoft based technologies and even though my language of choice is C#, I have been known to dabble in other technologies and adapt to what a project requires.
I have a particular interest in working with API integrations, whether that is architecting API layers myself or consuming data externally, which fits in well with another interest of mine: mobile applications!
I'm currently a Senior Developer working at an awesome digital agency - Syndicut, working on a wide variety of interesting and complex projects. So I could be working on anything from custom applications and website builds to using platforms such as Kentico. I've also worked on other platforms such as Saleforce, EPiServer CMS and SharePoint.
When I am not sat down blogging with a cup of tea and a few chocolate Hobnobs in hand, I am a big film enthusiast and go to the cinema any chance I get. I've been also known to go on random hikes, which is clearly evident from the photo (above) and drive down winding roads in my Audi to get there!

Q: How to map complex XML element to Java class property using JAXB I need to map my XML snippet onto Java class using JAXB, but have a tricky case. I have the following XML:
<person>
  <name part="first">Richard</name>
  <name part="last">Brooks</name>
</person>

and need to map it onto the following class
public class Person {

   private String firstName;
   private String lastName;
}

Could you please help me to figure out JAXB annotations to make it possible?

A: You can do this with MOXy, see @XmlPath.
@XmlPath("name[@part='first']/text()")
private String firstName;

@XmlPath("name[@part='last']/text()")
private String lastName;

Related questions:

*

*Using @XmlPath with jaxb/MOXy to map complex type

A: Here is one approach you could take, but would require you to create a separate class for Name:
@XmlRootElement
public class Person {
    @XmlElement(name="name")
    private List<Name> names;
    ...
}

public class Name {
   @XmlAttribute
   private String part; //would be set to "first" or "last"

   @XmlValue
   private String nameValue;
   ...
}


Before Kenya gained independence, this territory was known as East Africa Protectorate under the British Colony.
In 1963,when Kenya attained independence, the white settlers left the country leaving behind their farms and iconic buildings behind.
Kenyans moved to occupy the lands and houses that were previously a show of white's rule and wealth.
In Muhoroni, Kisumu county lies three such houses that hosted the settlers and have since been occupied by Africans after they bought them.
The highlands were reserved for the white settlers, something that didn't augur well with the Indians. The highlands were considered rich and fertile .
The preserve for whites in the country were Rift valley and areas bordering the high lands. One such place was Muhoroni, the heart of Kisumu county.
It borders Kericho and Nandi counties, areas considered to be fertile hence conducive for farming.
In Muhoroni, the white settlers built houses, with some still standing to date.
The buildings were built with the colonial fare and epitomized the grandiosity and influence of the whites living in the country at the time. They grew crops and kept animals.
In a small centre in Tamu, a two-hours drive from Kisumu International Airport, a partly stone walled building has stood the test of time.
It used to be a home to one of the white settlers but the government later took possession and turned it to a local health centre.
To qualify the standards of a hospital, the government renovated it. But a look at it still gives the impression of a century old building built with stones.
To understand the history behind these settlements, I visited 94 year old Habil Obiero who lives two kilometres from the hospital.
The old man says he moved to the settlement scheme in 1962. "I have spent a huge chunk of my life here. I schooled and settled here," he says.
It has been 55 years. Habil tells me that the structure was owned by a white man but after he left, a man named Benjamin Okang' acquired the property.
"Okang' bought the property but the government took possession of the building and turned into a health centre, that's what stands their today," he says, trying with much difficulty to remember the events.
The structure resembles a mansionette further telling that it was a home to one of the white men that Habil couldn't remember his name due to old age.
After it was turned to a hospital, the rooms were partitioned to create more space benefiting a health facility.
That has not erased its rich history.
It still stands, with the stones signifying change that is inevitable in life; first owned by a rich white colonialist and now by the government as a health centre with parts of it renovated.
A kilometre away from the art piece stands another signature structure of whites' opulence in past day Kenya.
The house is now owned by the family of former Nyakach MP, Peter Odoyo. Catherine Odoyo confirmed that the previous owner was a white settler, Lord Kitchener.
The house stands on a hill with a picturesque view of the fertile lands, a testament that white men lived in the area.
The highlands that were rich and suitable for farming were a preserve for the whites. Even today, the area is known for farming.
The family refurbished the house after many years of withstanding strong winds experienced in such a hilly place, despite the exercise the structure still embodies the classic Arabian-themed building befitting a lord.
The house is facing another typical affluent white man's abode sitting on a hill six kilometres away.
It is a thirty-minute drive from Chemelil Sugar factory on the Kisumu-Eldoret highway.
After the white man left, an African family took ownership of the house after buying it. I am told, the family sold it to one, Mr Ajowi.
George Muga who has lived at the settlement school since 1962 says Ajowi decided to refurbish the house because it had become dilapidated.
"This house is a shadow of the white man's house," says Muga.
The property is now deserted after the owner who inherited the house moved to a different home.
Habil Obiero said that the house was originally owned by one, Mr George Martin, a white settler.
The houses may be refurbished after new owners took over but they still stand out as historical marks left by the white settlers after the country attained self-rule.
These century old buildings provide a perfect glimpse into Kenya's history.

Q: Relationship between highest eigenvalue and rank of PSD matrix Is there any relationship between highest eigenvalue and rank of the PSD matrix?
Let's say there are two PSD matrices $A$ and $B$ with rank $r_A$ and $r_B$ respectively and their traces are equal. Let's say that $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ are the highest eigenvalue of $A$ and $B$ respectively. Then can we say the following?
If $ r_A \geq r_B $ then $ \lambda_A \leq \lambda_B $?

A: The answer is no. The rank of a PSD matrix counts the number of non-zero eigenvalues (with multiplicity).

The answer is still no.  Consider
$$
\pmatrix{4 \\&1\\&&1}, \qquad \pmatrix{3\\&3\\&&0}
$$

Q: Baby Rudin: relationship between Diophantine approximation of $\sqrt{2}$ and algebraic geometry? From near the beginning of baby Rudin there is the following passage.

Let $A$ be the set of all positive rationals $p$ such that $p^2 < 2$ and let $B$ consist of all positive rationals $p$ such that $p^2 > 2$. We shall show that $A$ contains no largest number and $B$ contains no smallest.
More explicitly, for every $p$ in $A$ we can find a rational $q$ in $A$ such that $p < q$, and for every $p$ in $B$ we can find a rational $q$ in $B$ such that $q < p$.
To do this, we associate with each rational $p > 0$ the number$$q = p - {{p^2 - 2}\over{p + 2}} = {{2p + 2}\over{p + 2}}.\tag*{(1)}$$Then$$q^2 - 2 = {{2(p^2 - 2)}\over{(p + 2)^2}}.\tag*{(2)}$$If $p$ is in $A$ then $p^2 - 2 < 0$, $(1)$ shows that $q > p$, and $(2)$ shows that $q^2 < 2$. Thus $q$ is in $A$.
If $p$ is in $B$ then $p^2 - 2 > 0$, $(1)$ shows that $0 < q < p$, and $(4)$ shows that $q^2 > 2$. Thus $q$ is in $B$.

Given that there is something which looks like polynomial division that shows up here in the proof, I can't help up but wonder two related things.

*

*Translated into the language of algebraic geometry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_geometry), what would this statement or salient features of the proof offered by Rudin look like?

*What is the significance of this particular simple phenomena in algebraic geometry? As in, when does something like this show up, and why is it important?

Thank you, I know this is a vague question, but in the past plenty of vague questions like this on MSE have gotten very excellent responses, so here's to hoping that a seasoned algebraic geometry student or practitioner might be able to provide their perspective.

Q: Facebook Login keeps repeating asking permissions React Native? I'm a newbie in React Native and struggling to make a Facebook login for my app.
I finished configuring all the requirements for my app, Firebase and Facebook for developers.
The thing is when I pressed login, at the first time, it kept repeating again the Login permission. Until the data receive the accessToken and id, my app might/might not navigate to the Main screen (login succeed). But just 1 second later, the screen prompted and showed the Login Manager again. And it keeps repeating that. I really don't know why.
Is it something wrong with my code?. I'm thinking it kept repeating because It must do that until it gets the data need ( promise resolved)
Here's the code:
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import {
    View,
    ImageBackground,
    StyleSheet,
    Alert
} from 'react-native';
import {
    Layout
} from '@ui-kitten/components';
import { GoogleSignin, GoogleSigninButton, statusCodes } from '@react-native-community/google-signin';
import { firebase } from '@react-native-firebase/auth';
import { LoginButton, LoginManager, AccessToken } from 'react-native-fbsdk';

const GoogleLogIn = (props) => {

    const [userInfo, setUserInfo] = useState(null);
    const [isLogIn, setIsLogIn] = useState(false);

    // Facebook log in
    const _facebookLogin = async () => {
        try{
            const result = await LoginManager.logInWithPermissions(['public_profile', 'email']);
            console.log(result);

            if(result.isCancelled){
                console.log('Login is cancelled');
            }else if(result.grantedPermissions){
                console.log('DONE')
                const data =  await AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
                console.log(data);
                const cred = firebase.auth.FacebookAuthProvider.credential(data.accessToken);
                const firebaseCred = await firebase.auth().signInWithCredential(cred);
                setIsLogIn(true);
                setUserInfo(data.userID);
                props.navigation.navigate('AppNavigator', {screen: 'Welcome'})
            }
        }catch(err){
            console.log(err);
            throw err;
        }
    }

    return(
        <View style={styles.background}>

            <LoginButton
                onLoginFinished={_facebookLogin}
                onLogoutFinished={() => console.log('Logout!')}

    );
};

    background: {
        flex: 1,
        justifyContent: 'center',
        alignItems: 'center'
    }
})
export default GoogleLogIn;

Here's the weird behavior:

PLEASE HELP!

A: The useState function seems to cause rendering again and cause problems.
You can try use useCallback

useCallback will return a memoized version of the callback that
  only changes if one of the dependencies has changed. This is useful
  when passing callbacks to optimized child components that rely on
  reference equality to prevent unnecessary renders (e.g.
  shouldComponentUpdate).

Usage
const _facebookLogin =  useCallback( async () => {
      try{
          const result = await LoginManager.logInWithPermissions(['public_profile', 'email']);
          console.log(result);

          if(result.isCancelled){
              console.log('Login is cancelled');
          }else if(result.grantedPermissions){
              console.log('DONE')
              const data =  await AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();
              console.log(data);
              const cred = firebase.auth.FacebookAuthProvider.credential(data.accessToken);
              const firebaseCred = await firebase.auth().signInWithCredential(cred);
              setIsLogIn(true);
              setUserInfo(data.userID);
              props.navigation.navigate('AppNavigator', {screen: 'Welcome'})
          }
      }catch(err){
          console.log(err);
          throw err;
      }
  },[])

A: Here's the code I found it worked well. You can put this in a button for customizing
const  facebookLogin = async () => {
        try {
            const result = await LoginManager.logInWithPermissions(['public_profile', 'email']).then(
                (res) => {
                    if(res.isCancelled){
                        console.log('Something went wrong, please try again');
                    }else{

Creators of the fantastic Halo series, Bungie have never made a game for the PlayStation 3. That's why we were so ecstatic when the developer announced a massive 10-year publishing deal with Activision back in April 2010, which would bring their games to multiple platforms, including PS3. Set in an entirely new universe, virtually nothing is known about the new game, but thankfully Bungie's 20th Anniversary video has let some new details slip.
You feel responsible for not just telling an isolated story, but for building a universe that at some point is going to become more the fans' than it is ours. It's going to take a life of its own.
The logo shown above was also first spotted in May when the fake corporation Podophobia Entertainment filed a trademark for Destiny, with the same logo.
The fact that landmarks are used in gameplay helps show just how large the game is.

Market EarlyBird provide the EarlyBird Twitter service, which gives financial professionals access to breaking news and rich insight on the social network.
Twitter is how financial news moves today, but for many traders, access at work is blocked due to very real compliance issues. For those with access, tracking relevant financial information is difficult due to the sheer volume of fast-moving Tweets.
EarlyBird solves these challenges by blocking outgoing messages and Tweets, whilst delivering an enhanced Twitter capability that uses AI to filter Tweets by financial relevance and highlight emerging stories before they go viral – allowing traders to use Twitter in a compliant way and see opportunities before they filter down to their competitors.
Used by some of the largest investment banks and hedge funds, EarlyBird focuses on the risks and opportunities of Twitter in regulated finance firms, and is giving traders and analysts a real competitive edge.


When's the last time you saw a free comedy show?
Free Comedy Show nights at the Riverboat on the Potomac began taking place in the spring/summer of 2009. I have attended the event from time to time and each one has been a blast! It's not an "open mike" night by any means. These are real live comedians and they do a great job. Best of all, the admission price is $0.
Please note: Beginning with the February 2015 show, there will be a $10 admission fee. This price includes one drink ticket. See your server for details.
A group called Kaleidoscope produces the free comedy show events. Based in the Maryland (DC metro) area, they also have offices to serve areas of Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. They are available for booking any night of the week and at any type of venue. Kaleidoscope gives back to the community as well, putting on events to raise money for charity. The group's founder, funny man Irwin Loring often acts as the emcee. He was a finalist in the 2007 "Comic of the Year" competition for Maryland, Washington D.C. and Virginia. He was the winner of best new talent at the Reading Comedy Outlet 2008, and a finalist in the Big Break Competition in 2009. He currently teaches classes at a local college for aspiring comics, focusing on the business and writing aspects of that career field.
Here's Jay Szech who asked "Is this gonna wind up on YouTube?" after I snapped the photo. I love watching the verbal interactions with the audience members. Golf carts are a frequent topic of discussion, since they are so plentiful here in our town. Oh, and Hecklers beware. One night, there was a particularly obnoxious patron in the crowd and the performer onstage really put him in his place. It was hilarious! So come out to the Riverboat on the third Saturday of each month, enjoy some great food and drink and a great performance! They start at 9 pm (doors open at 8 pm) in the Tiki Room. You can phone in a reservation beforehand by calling 804-224-7055. This is recommended, as there is often a good sized crowd at these events.

Roundup: Uber Clears $1 Billion for Expansion Efforts in China
We've got funding for a few smaller stage startup companies today, which is always good to see. However, the news taking the cake this morning is Uber's $1 billion in funding to expand efforts into China – it's absolutely massive and pushes their valuation to new heights.
If you want the roundup delivered to your inbox, sign up for it!
Uber Closes $1 Billion in Funding for China Expansion
Even though there's still strong competition in the ondemand ride sharing market, Uber's China arm was able to close their $1 billion fundraising round earlier than expected thanks to investors who are confident it will be successful in China. As of now Uber is planning on landing in China around 2020 and UberChina is currently valued at $7 billion.
Lugg Secures $3.8 Million
The San Francisco ondemand moving company just graduated from Y Combinator's summer class, and officially raised $3.8 million in seed funding led by A Capital. Lugg was bootstrapped for the beginning of their startup journey, but now that they've accepted funding the company will be able to expand their team while building out mobile iterations aside from iOS.
Able Raises $6 Million
Based in Austin, Texas, Able raised $6 million for their collaborative lender platform that connects entrepreneurs to capital. The round was led by Blumberg Capital and RPM Ventures with participation from Peterson Partners and Expansion Ventures AngelList Syndicate. The funding will let the team enact their major plans for nationwide expansion as they move forward.
Augury Raises $7 Million
Hardware startup Augury, a company that troubleshoots machine malfunctions based on the different sounds they emit, closed a $7 million Series A funding round. The funding came primarily from Formation 8's new, hardware focused fund, alongside Pritzker Group, First Round Capital, and Lerer Hippeau Ventures.
PCH Teams With Johnson & Johnson
PCH, the company behind the hardware accelerator Highway1, launched a collaboration effort with Johnson & Johnson Innovation to identify, support, and encourage the growth of consumer health hardware startups. As it stands, the program will involve PCH Access, a division of PCH that helps startups move from prototype to mass manufacturing. Johnson & Johnson will also oversee things, helping entrepreneurs focus on supporting and fostering healthcare innovation.

BOFH: The current value of our IT ASSets? Minus eleventy-seven...
Oh Beancounter, don't make us get the hose
Simon Travaglia
Fri 29 Aug 2014 // 12:19 UTC
"Ahhh... Just found some... uh... anomalies with the asset inventory checklist," our friendly neighbourhood Beancounter says to the PFY.
"What anomalies?" I ask.
"You didn't fill it out," the Boss says.
"I bloody did!" I gasp.
"You wrote at the bottom 'all present and correct' and signed your name," the Beancounter responds.
"In actual fact, I think you'll find that I signed the name Sharon T Pokeworthy, but that's neither here nor there," I counter.
"Why?" the Beancounter asks, reading the form again.
"I rarely use my own signature. It's a personal security thing."
Honestly, I could make crap like this up for a living...
"People rarely check," I add.
"I... So this checklist then..." the Beancounter says, handing over some sheets of paper, "we really need to know what assets we have so that we can get a realistic view of the book value of our assets, the depreciation burden and maybe work out whether our depreciation schedule needs to be more or less aggressive."
"I'm sorry, you lost me at strippers."
"I never said strippers!"
"Oh, that must have been the dream I was just having."
"Look, can we just find out what assets we have!" the Boss snaps.
"Oh, right! Well THAT one is here >tick<, so is that >tick<... and that >tick<... and this one caught fire so we dumped it >cross<, and that one we dumped because it was crap >cross<."
"Okay, two things," the Beancounter says. "One: you need to physically verify each machine is still there. Two: you need to note down the serial numbers for each thing."
"Surely you have the serial numbers already?" the PFY asks, scanning the list.
"We do, but it's an anti-fraud thing the auditors want. YOU enter the serial number then WE verify it against the database for that inventory item."
"You... realise we have access to that database and could just read all the serial numbers?" the PFY asks.
"Or, a far more likely scenario WRITE all the serial numbers," I add "Serial numbers like '1', '2' and 'A'. But in any case there are going to be problems."
"Oh yes, and why's that?"
"Well here, for instance," I say, pointing at a line item. "A4 gigabyte memory module."
"And?"
"Well it MAY have cost £760, as it says here – when it was bought, a million years ago – but you should have depreciated it at 75 per cent per year to get an accurate view of its current value. And secondly, it's not an asset. It's INSIDE an asset."
"Which asset?"
"Who knows," I say, pointing at the servers in the list. "It could be any of them."
"You'll need to find it – so we can increase the book value of whatever it's in."
"In which case I'm guessing our bin has a book value in the hundreds of thousands of pounds," the PFY chips in.
Sigh...
>The next day<
"How could you just throw it out?!" the Beancounter gasps. "It's got a current book value of THIRTY THOUSAND POUNDS!!!"
"But a current actual value of about NEGATIVE ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS," the PFY counters.
"It was a piece of shit," The PFY says. "It was a fibre attached SAN which required proprietary fibre cards in the client machines AND proprietary fibre switches to provide a redundant path to it.
"It used to pack a spaz every few days and flip back and forth to the redundant path - but only after it had been offline for 360 seconds. Removing the redundant path actually made it slightly more reliable, but it was STILL a white elephant because it was crammed with low capacity disks, could only do RAID 0, 1 or 5, AND required an extortionately priced licence upgrade to make any changes to it. Oh, and the management interface only ran on Windows ME."
"Tell me you at least sold it?" the Beancounter asks, praying for the ability to write down the asset.
"We... ah... let it go for a song!"
"Really, how much?"
"No – we LET IT GO for a SONG. We told the cleaner that we'd drop it out the window onto his supervisor's car if he'd sing Judas Priest's Turbo Lover," the PFY says.
"And it was great," I add. "Some tempo problems, but he got there in the end."
"So you threw £30,000 worth of hardware out the window?"
"Dropped it – yes."
"I... What about this?" he asks, gesturing at another heavily highlighted asset with a red X next to it.
"Oh we still have that. It's installed on the sixth floor. But no one uses it."
"Why not? What is it? It just says survelliance system."
"Yes indeed. One of my former managers realised we had 10k left in the 'Corporate Security' budget and told us to spend it by the end of the financial year otherwise you beancounters would subtract 10k from next year's budget because we obviously weren't spending everything we asked for."
"So you just went out and bought something?" he gasps.
"No, no, he was quite specific about what should be bought. In fact, I think we kept the memo in our noticeboard of shame, because sooner or later I knew we'd be having this conversation. >scrabble< >scrabble. Here we go..."
"Motion sensors. You can't spend 10 grand on motion sensors!"
"It depends on what motion you want to sense. And he wasn't that specific. We did it all with transducers because porcelain is an excellent conductor of sound."
"I...can't believe you'd do that!"
"Ooooh no," the PFY says. "No, I think you'll find that was Sharon T Pokeworthy."

Q: Mini Cart for Luna Theme This is my website - http://www.afternoons.com.au/ - using Big Cartel, Luna Theme. At the moment, when products are placed in the cart, the cart doesn't show any number or dollar value and I can't find how to edit this for Luna theme.
I know other big cartel themes have mini carts..is this something that can be adapted to luna theme and if so, how?
Thank you!

A: You can change this by heading to Customize Design > Advanced > Layout in your admin, and scroll down to find the long line of code that ends with this:

Cart

Change that to the following, and you're all set:

Cart {{ cart.subtotal | money_with_sign }}

If you want to use the number of items in the cart instead of the cart subtotal, you can replace {{ cart.subtotal | money_with_sign }} with {{ cart.item_count }}
