Athlete's foot, medically known as tinea pedis, is one of the most common skin infections that affect your feet. If you have redness, soreness, and tenderness between your toes, it's time to visit the podiatry team at Great Lakes Foot and Ankle Institute PC to see if you have athlete's foot. You can either call the Chesterfield, Clinton Township, Fort Gratiot, East China Township, Shelby Township, or Rochester, Michigan, clinics directly to book, or click on the online scheduling feature.
How did I get athlete's foot?
Picking or scratching at an untreated athlete's foot infection can cause it to spread to other areas, including your hands and nails. Make sure you know the signs and symptoms of athlete's foot, so you can get it treated before the condition worsens — or spreads to someone else.
Since athlete's foot can sometimes be mistaken for eczema or even very dry skin, it's important to seek medical attention to get a proper diagnosis early on, rather than trying to treat the condition on your own.
Is there a treatment for athlete's foot?
Yes, and your podiatrist thoroughly diagnoses you before starting your athlete's foot treatment. Your athlete's foot appointment at Great Lakes Foot and Ankle Institute PC begins with a thorough examination.
Usually, your podiatrist can diagnose athlete's foot on the spot, simply by examining your rash. Occasionally, though, skin scrapings — which are evaluated under a microscope — can help confirm an athlete's foot diagnosis, while ruling out other conditions.
The team at Great Lakes Foot and Ankle Institute PC even counsels you on how to prevent future athlete's foot outbreaks, since once you've had it, your chances of becoming infected again are higher.
The team at Great Lakes Foot and Ankle Institute PC can help you get through an athlete's foot outbreak right away. Schedule your visit online or over the phone with your nearest clinic.

Let's Taco Bout More Freedom In Tejas!
We are coming to the end of a very busy legislative session, and our army of volunteers have been working hard. Just like the Mexican army's unlikely victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War, the Libertarians of Texas are fighting big government aggression, and we are winning!

Word From The Chair: Whitney Bilyeu
LPTexans,
I am excited to welcome 2021 and put 2020 behind us. We faced some hardships this past year, but we did not surrender and had some solid wins, too. Our state convention was a major success and no one could have pivoted again and again to pull off such a feat the way our LPTexas convention, credentials, platform, and rules committees did. It is an honor to serve with those folks.

Turn Texas Into A Pot O' Gold!
Top o' the mornin', LPTexans.
Thank you to all the Libertarians who helped their fellow man during the February 2021 Blizzard which left cold Texans in the dark and without water or basic necessities. #LeftInTheCold and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott went viral... but not in a good way.
He has tried redeeming himself by lifting the Texas mask mandate and opening the capacity of all businesses and facilities to 100%. We finally do not have to be forced to care for others with government intervention, and our freedoms have been restored on this issue. 15 states have made this decision so far and we are glad to join them.
May the leprechauns be near you to spread luck along your way, and may all the Irish angels smile upon you this St. Patrick's Day.

Citizen Lobbying At The Texas State Capitol
There are almost 7000 bills in the current 87th Texas legislative session that are being considered within a 6 month time frame. The capitol is working around the clock passing laws daily, and if we aren't there to tell them to pause and think about it, they won't.
Visiting the capitol and lobbying is an important experience to understand the size and scope of what Libertarians are up against when it comes to making a difference. Texas Libertarians had a volunteer citizen lobbying day in March 2021 to try and convince the representatives to vote against certain liberty infringing bills like HB1812.
Joe Burnes attended the event, and it was his first time to lobby. Joe is a long time LPTexas activist, SLEC member, and also works with the Development Department, and he came away from that day fired up to make a difference. Joe said, "Nothing is more clear about how small our party is than when you go to the Texas State Capitol. I felt like a sheep in a room full of wolves. But they are still people, and they can be persuaded, and I found that lobbying on behalf of LPTexas does make a difference."
This article breaks down the fundamentals of citizen lobbying in Texas to help anyone walk in prepared.

Enjoyed going to the Panda Nature Reserve, took a cooking class in Sichuan Cooking with a trip to the local shopping stalls, very friendly and an education as well! Walked the famous shopping and eating streets nearby our hotel. Worth the trip!
Less frantic and much warmer than BJ.
Less frantic and much warmer than BJ. Everyone goes for the panda thing but that was kind of a bust. A few panda laying around and you have to walk about 20 miles to actually see them. But the city itself is pretty good. Chunxu lu shopping area is astonishing. It's huge and has everything. Dozens Of streets, hundreds of shops with workers out caulking and clapping to drum up business. Great food everywhere. And just keep walking and you'll end up In the high-end designer and was Gucci Valentino and everybody. The whole place just overwhelms your senses .
It was great to see the Giant Pandas up close!
It was great to see the Giant Pandas up close! The park was superb. It was clean, nicely built and very safe to walk in. The Giant Pandas were so adorable!! The Chengdu town was very very crowded. The narrow and wide streets were very nice but too crowded. We also went to the People's park and it was too crowded. It was difficult to find tourist friendly, clean bathrooms in Chengdu. Also, there are too many smokers everywhere which makes it so difficult to breath, in addition to the polluted air.
for chengdu, I only visit panda, by bus tour.
for chengdu, I only visit panda, by bus tour. The panda place was great. it was tired though. Pandas everywhere. The place i stayed at was near shopping area. But it was all branded stores. So I was just sightseeing around the apartment.
My first trip to Chengdu gave me a better than expected experience. It is a good and value for money place for a family trip. The expenses in Chengdu is relatively slightly lower than other major cities in the eastern coast. There are many affordable mode of transports for traveling within and outskirts of the city.
We were accommodated in the Traffic Hotel - elevator, kettle & cups in room, toiletries in bathroom. A/c was perfect to combat the heat/humidity. Location- close to local eateries, metro, a local market. Staff - friendly, helpful. Great coffee & reasonably priced food available at the in-house restaurant. Range of services provided (paid extra) - we had a driver pick us up from the airport, a driver for our day trip to Zigong, trip to the Panda Base. Trips to Tibet & to the mountains can also be arranged.
Very clean, very helpful staff, arranged pickup to and from airport for free(15min drive), drop off to metro stop for free (8min). Comfortable beds compared to most hotels. Quiet local area with shops etc within 2 min walk. About 15 min from the airport. Great shower. Birds singing in foliage to the east outside, hopefully that will last. Some TV channels showed occasional films in native European languages and there were 2 Chinese news channels in English.
Spicial experience stay in Niccolo, nice location n view. Can see the TaiGuLi Chengdu and surround though the french windows. Staffs have nice service attitude and very helpful. Niccolo is just near by the IFS shopping centre, is easy to find, me and my girlfriend enjoyed shopping n had dinner at IFS, though the hotel windows we can see the top floor garden of IFS n the famous panda sculpture. Next time I'll still firstly consider to stay in Niccolo.
The room was fab! There wasn't much more to the hotel than that though. The location was perfect only in terms of proximity to the metro. I was only in Chengdu to go to the panda reserve so the location apart from metro access wasn't important. As it's on the 22nd floor, the views were great esp from the small bar area. The owners were lovely.
The rooms were clean and nice, great value for money. We asked for a high floor so we had a great view of Chengdu. The staff was friendly and helpful and organised our transportation to the airport without any problems. The shower was great! The location of the hotel is very central and the metro station is very close.
its cheap and rooms are clean. they pick u from airport and drop to airport if u speak little bit chinese language.they did't understand my call from airport thar i wanted to be picked from airport. I used taxi cost 160 chinese curryncy.While returning from hotel to airport they droped me by their privet car.
it's located at Chunxi road. I've never ever stayed at Chunxi road before this. I thought everything could be a bit more expensive than other places in Chengdu, but it turned out almost same. And because of Chunxi road, it means you have lots of convenient ways to the places you wanna visit.
We spent a lot of time walking around Chengdu and we enjoyed coming back to this hotel at the end of the day. You can tell they have put in effort to create a quiet, relaxing spot on the middle of the city. Nicely furnished, very clean, good breakfast with a couple Western options.
It is easy to get there from the airport by shuttle bus. The subway is very close( but still not closest to the downtown). There is a monastery close to the hotel where you can find tea house with self service but good tea.
overall is nice but should give some drinking water in the room as well. of course there are drinks for sales in the lobby but I have never seen hotel withour drinking water inside the room.
Good price. Really good room. Clean. The staff really helpful and they talk really good English. Good location. If I come back one day to chengdu I will stay there again!
This is a very good "hotel". Felt so good to have a REAL bed to sleep. ITS A BED!!!! No squat, Hurray!!! Some craft beers down stairs. Get a drink before explore Chengdu.
Absolutely great accommodation experience, probably the best I had in China for the last 10 years. Definitely will back to this hotel for my next ChengDu visit.
I love Rhombus Hotel. I always go there when I'm in chengdu. Perfect location nice and clean and big rooms. Nice breakfast too.
The best hostel in Chengdu. The Location is perfect. Many restaurants and shop near by. Very friendly and helpful.
Position and breakfast. The hotel is in the Center of Chengdu. really close to Chunxi road metro station.
Best hotel 10 minutes from the airport. Adorable and comfortable.
Room was quiet and comfortable. Beautiful traditional architecture and decor. Excellent location near metro and next to Weasel monastery. Spa massage and bath were fantastic! Neighbourhood is low-rise and quiet. Highly recommended!breakfast was tasty and varied. Staff very helpful.

Q: Issue turning firewall off on OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 I'm trying to make a simple web server on my machine accessible to a peer on the same network, but with not much success. I am having an issue where my firewall continually turns back on, or won't turn off (I can't be sure which).
I go into System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Firewall, unlock settings, and click 'Turn off Firewall'. It appears to work. I click the lock in the bottom left to save my settings, and then exit System Preferences. But a port scan shows none of my ports are accessible to inbound connections, still. Then I go back into firewall settings, and it shows my firewall as being on again, even though I just turned it off.

What I have tried so far:

*

*I have searched for others having this problem, but I cannot find anything.

*I also restarted my machine, but the issue persists.

*Per some google results, I executed sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf globalstate -int 0 in terminal, but defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf globalstate still returns 1 (on).

How can I turn my firewall off?
EDIT: I think this may be related to the fact that these firewall settings were set on my previous Macbook Pro, and I have since upgraded to a newer macbook using Time Machine.

A: I'm going to put a short answer on how I'd troubleshoot this since this isn't the intended behavior.

*

*Make a backup of your Mac - just in case.

*Try a simple python web server in terminal.app
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
You should see text like: Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ... and get a pop up like:

If you don't, perhaps delete the entire firewall preference and restart the Mac once the backup is complete.
sudo -H mv /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist ~/Desktop

That way you can inspect/move the preference file back if desired. If you still cannot get the firewall pop up after the restart, recheck the firewall system preferences and optionally see if you might have a configuration profile that might be enforcing some firewall settings that you do not control.

If you have no profiles icon, you can probably rule that out.

Configuring the nature of colonial hospital architecture in peninsular Malaysia-serie 1- Special studies on the tuberculosis ward and hospital administration building typologies of Kota Bharu Hospital
Mohd Nawawi, Norwina and Sapian, Abdul Razak and Abdul Majid, Noor Hanita and Denan, Zuraini and Abdul Rahim, Zaiton and Ismail, Azrul Izwan (2010) Configuring the nature of colonial hospital architecture in peninsular Malaysia-serie 1- Special studies on the tuberculosis ward and hospital administration building typologies of Kota Bharu Hospital. In: IIUM Research, Innovation & Invention Exhibition (IRIIE 2010), 26 - 27 January 2010, Kuala Lumpur.
Colonial hospital architecture in Malaysia is one of the forgotten built heritages in the country. The embarkation of this multifaceted research in haste is due to the Ministry of Health Malaysia's upgrading development of the country's healthcare facilities asset throughout the country under the 9th Malaysia plan that requires demolition and reuse of existing hospitals for new healthcare services and infrastructure. Colonial era hospitals are known intuitively for its tropical and "user friendly" architecture that addresses the local climatic requirements and local culture for ease in visitation. The use of local timber and other building materials were made to last in comparison to today's quality of 50 year lifespan. Although they lack the latest technology in providing convenience of today's definition of "comfort" and "healing environment", their simplicity in addressing healthcare needs of the local populace integrated with nature indeed demand thorough research before all is lost. The research aims to collect available physical data and historical record of the facilities in digital and manual form so as to be able to extrapolate for further research on its effectiveness in previous and current environment in terms of the following issues: (i) micro medical planning and healthcare requirement then and now, (ii) building configuration and comparison to other colonial hospital building at home and abroad, (iii) spatial provisions and standards (iv) building material (v) construction and material detailing (vi) environmental consideration (vii) user considerations – culture, gender, ethnic group. The methodology use for this research includes literature review, measured drawing, interview, laboratory studies (environmental) and computer modeling; in collaboration with the industry players (MoH, JKR and consultants) Significance of the research are (i) direct contribution to the green building agenda of the government not only for healthcare building; (ii) historical data in healthcare architecture (iii) infection control strategies then and (iv) cultural significance to local populace.

Patty Murray Takes Fight for Abortion Rights to the Airwaves, Releases Two Major Ads on TV and Digital
Press Release | June 24, 2022
(Seattle, WA) – Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray's Campaign announced the launch of two new TV and digital ads in the wake of the ruling by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. Murray is leading Senate Democrats in the fight to protect abortion rights and the Washington Post referred to her as, "the single most effective Democratic combatant against Republican attempts to restrict abortion and otherwise roll back reproductive health-care rights on Capitol Hill."
The first ad, "Won't Back Down" features Murray, strongly affirming her commitment to protecting abortion rights for women and patients in Washington state.
***WATCH: Won't Back Down***
"It is a horrifying reality–extreme politicians across our country, now in charge of the most private healthcare decisions," says Murray in a no-frills direct-to-camera address to voters. "The Supreme Court may have ruled. But it's up to us to make sure they don't get the final word. I won't stop fighting until we guarantee reproductive freedom for every American. We will not be still. We will not be silent. We will not back down."
In the second ad, "Abortion Ban", Dr. Judy Kimelman, MD, a Washington state OB-GYN physician, calls attention to Republican candidate Tiffany Smiley's extreme anti-abortion stance and the very real threat of a national abortion ban if Republicans win a U.S. Senate seat in Washington state. Today, Smiley released a statement praising the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe. v. Wade. Smiley has previously endorsed a Texas-style abortion ban.
***WATCH: Abortion Ban***
"Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe V. Wade and states across the nation are banning abortion. You think women's reproductive health care is safe here in Washington?" says Dr. Kimelman. "Not with Mitch McConnell's handpicked candidate Tiffany Smiley in the Senate."
Audio of Tiffany Smiley plays where Smiley states, "I'm 100% pro-life."
"Tiffany Smiley's first vote will be to make Mitch McConnell majority leader and they will work together to ban abortions nationwide. Don't take my word. Believe Tiffany Smiley." says Dr. Kimelman in closing.
Both ads are now airing on TV and digital platforms. As a voice for Washington state, Murray has never backed down in the fight to protect abortion rights. Senator Murray led efforts in the Senate to pass legislation that would protect a woman's right to abortion, she has led Senate Democrats in pressing President Biden to do everything in his power to protect abortion rights, and she continues to call on all Americans help deliver a pro-choice majority in the Senate this November in order to send President Biden a bill to protect the right to abortion across the country.

Gauntlet: Travel Technique for Immersive Environments using Non-dominant Hand
Mathew Tomberlin, Liudmila Tahai, and Krzysztof Pietroszek
(California State University at Monterey Bay, USA; University of Waterloo, Canada)
Abstract: We present Gauntlet, a travel technique for immersive environments that uses non-dominant hand tracking and a fist gesture to translate and rotate the viewport. The technique allows for simultaneous use of the dominant hand for other spatial input tasks. Applications of Gauntlet include FPS games, and other application domains where navigation should be performed together with other tasks. We release the technique along with an example application, a VR horror game, as an open source project.

Much like this salad, the new year brings with it a fresh start; an opportunity to do a new thing. Even if you're pursuing the same dreams, going after the same goals, working the same resolutions, it's your chance at doing it differently.
It's been said, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is foolish. So, what better time to toss out the old?
Strip away all the baggage, dirt, and junk of 2015 and leave it all behind. Take only the lessons. Garb a hold of that fresh start and forge ahead. That means no pollutants; only sustainable practices that will move you closer to your field of dreams.
Get out there and work that thing! Enough said.
What can you do to ensure that newly planted seed will grow? Water it, of course! Put in the time, effort and resources necessary to set yourself up for success. Follow-up, follow through, and repeat.
As you work and water do so with the expectation that your seed will sprout. Before you know it your tree will be blossoming.
Sure you'll pause to take it all in. We all want to enjoy the fruits of you labor. But, don't get so enamored with the pretty flowers that you stop planting for tomorrow. Go back to the root, the source and keep planting, watering, building and growing so you can get to that full blown harvest.
What are you doing differently this year to ensure you'll have your heart's desire? Share it. Perhaps I'll pick one or two to add to my mix.
Happy New Year and all the best for a bountiful and prosperous 2016!
A heartfelt thank you for supporting JADE and FullOnFlavor this year. I could not have done it without you! Wishing you a year filled with peace, joy and prosperity.
As the name suggests, the main ingredient is fruit; candied, chopped fruit consisting of orange peels and pineapple, along with raisins and cherries. But unlike other traditional fruit cakes, Jamaican Rum Cakes are made with grounded or pureed fruits for a smooth consistency.
It is the choice for wedding cake in Jamaica and other parts of the Caribbean. Because of its popularity at weddings, it is sometimes referred to as Wedding Cake.
Color ranges from dark brown to black. If you're not careful, you'll mistake it for a chocolate cake at first glance. In some cases, depending how it is cut, it can resemble brownie too.
Fruits are soaked in wine [and rum] for many weeks or even months prior to baking.
Today, like most other products, rum cakes come in all shapes and sizes, including cupcake. For example our JADE cupcakes feature minis as well as standard cupcake size, and with a variety of icings.
When it comes to fruit cakes Jamaican Rum Cake takes the cake.
'Tis the season! No, not holiday cheer and deck the halls. I'm talking sugar and spice and everything nice!
Using a mortar and pestle, grind red pepper into smaller flakes.
In a small mixing bowl, stir together red pepper, parsley, sea salt and brown suagr.
Perfect on sweet potato fries.
Great dry rub for a rack of ribs.
Sprinkle on fresh-baked savory pastries for added flavor.
Make larger quantity, store in airtight container, and use as needed.
Questions or comments post them here. But don't be a Grinch! Share this season with friends and family!
Want more food and flavor this season? Visit JADE and learn how we can add the merry to your holiday events!
The holidays are fast approaching. Oh what fun it is serving up something new and exciting. Lucky for you, your foodie and chief flavor head at JADE has you covered! These flaky and flavorful Tuna Pastry Cups are delicate and delectable all in the same bite. Why not spread some gourmet goodness this season?
In a small mixing bowl, add tuna, paprika, salt, ground pepper, parsley, mayonnaise, mustard, olive oil and mix evenly. Set aside.
Using a round, crinkle cookie cutter, cut out 12 rounds from each pastry sheet. (Yields fewer for supermarket pastry sheets. Refer to Note below).
Stuff cutouts into muffin pan to form 24 cups.
Using a teaspoon, fill cups with tuna mix. Press gently with finger.
Bake pastries until nicely browned.
Remove from oven and let sit 3-5 minutes.
Remove from muffin pan and serve.
Note: This recipe was made using two large, restaurant-style puff pastry sheets. When using pastry sheets from your local grocer, substitute about 8 pastry sheets to yield 24 rounds. Recipe requires a 24-cup Nonstick Mini Muffin Pan (or two 12-cup pans) and a round cookie cutter (crinkled or plain).
When thawing pastry, remove paper underneath sheets.
Dust cutting board (or other surface) with flour to prevent sticking.
Frozen puff pastry generally thaws within 10-15 minutes.
These Tuna Pastry Cups present like crab but for a fraction of the cost and are the perfect appetizer to get your holiday party started! Visit www.JADEGRILL.com for more Food, Flavor, Fun!

Q: QML ListView scrolling does not produce any animation, when delegates have different width I am creating a ListView with horizontal orientation. The highlight is set to one fixed position of the view so that the list elements scroll through the visible area when I increment/decrement the current Item. Here is my code for the view:
ListView {
    anchors.fill: parent
    model: ListModel{
        ListElement{name:"x"}
        ListElement{name:"y"}
        ListElement{name:"z"}
    }
    delegate:
        Rectangle {
        property int viewW: ListView.view.width
        property bool isCurrent: ListView.isCurrentItem
        width: ListView.isCurrent? viewW * 0.4 : viewW * 0.3
        Text {
            anchors.fill: parent
            text: name
        }
    }

    orientation: Qt.Horizontal
    highlight: Rectangle {color: "transparent"}
    preferredHighlightBegin: 0
    preferredHighlightEnd: width*0.4
    highlightRangeMode: ListView.StrictlyEnforceRange
}

I want the delegate of the current item to have a greater width than all the other elements. However, when the width of all delegates is not identical, the list scrolling animation (e.g. you can see elements moving to next position, instead of just appearing on the new position) does not apply any more.
How can I have a ListView with the current element showing a different width than the rest of the other elements, while still being able to have the scrolling animations?

A: The currently selected item can be modified by combining the property to modify with the currentIndex/index properties. The former is the property contained in the ListView to indicate the selected item (as you already know). The latter is a property exposed in the delegate to represent the index of the corresponding item in the list. When we have that
ListView.view.currentIndex === index

we are in the currently selected item. Hence, in your delegate, you can write something like this:
width: ListView.view.currentIndex === index ? 60 : 30

Now the selected item will be twice as large as the other items. However the effect is a little bit ugly. I would go for the following one:
scale: ListView.view.currentIndex === index ? 1.5 : 0.5

Here you are saying that "when this item is the selected one it should grow by 50%, otherwise it should shrink by 50%".
The final code for the width could look like this:
import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Window 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2

Window {
    id: container
    width: 300
    height: 150
    visible: true

    ListView {
        id: list
        anchors.fill: parent
        spacing: 5

        model: ListModel{
            ListElement{name:"a"}
            ListElement{name:"b"}
            ListElement{name:"c"}
            ListElement{name:"d"}
            ListElement{name:"e"}
            ListElement{name:"f"}
            ListElement{name:"g"}
            ListElement{name:"h"}
            ListElement{name:"i"}
            ListElement{name:"j"}
            ListElement{name:"k"}
            ListElement{name:"l"}
            ListElement{name:"x"}
            ListElement{name:"y"}
            ListElement{name:"z"}
        }

        delegate:
            Rectangle {
            width: ListView.view.currentIndex === index ? 60 : 30  // the magnifying/shrinking
            color: "steelblue"

            height: ListView.view.height
            Text {
                anchors.centerIn: parent
                text: name
                font.pixelSize: 20
            }

            Behavior on width {                    // added to smooth the resizing
                NumberAnimation { duration: 100 }
            }
        }

        orientation: Qt.Horizontal
        highlight: Rectangle {color: "transparent"}
        preferredHighlightBegin: 0
        preferredHighlightEnd: delegate.width
        highlightRangeMode: ListView.StrictlyEnforceRange
    }
}

And the effect is not that beautiful as said. I would go for the scale property, as follows:
import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Window 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2

Window {
    id: container
    width: 300
    height: 150
    visible: true

    ListView {
        id: list
        anchors.fill: parent
        spacing: 5

        model: ListModel{
            ListElement{name:"a"}
            ListElement{name:"b"}
            ListElement{name:"c"}
            ListElement{name:"d"}
            ListElement{name:"e"}
            ListElement{name:"f"}
            ListElement{name:"g"}
            ListElement{name:"h"}
            ListElement{name:"i"}
            ListElement{name:"j"}
            ListElement{name:"k"}
            ListElement{name:"l"}
            ListElement{name:"x"}
            ListElement{name:"y"}
            ListElement{name:"z"}
        }

        delegate:
            Rectangle {
            scale: ListView.view.currentIndex === index ? 1.5 : 0.5
            color: "transparent"
            width: 30
            height: ListView.view.height
            Text {
                anchors.centerIn: parent
                text: name
                font.pixelSize: 20
            }

            Behavior on scale {                    // added to smooth the scaling
                NumberAnimation { duration: 100 }
            }
        }

        orientation: Qt.Horizontal
        highlight: Rectangle {color: "steelblue"}
        preferredHighlightBegin: 0
        preferredHighlightEnd: delegate.width
        highlightRangeMode: ListView.StrictlyEnforceRange
    }
}

Note that the highlight it strictly maintained at the beginning of the list (i.e. at the left side) as required.

Market Update!

Median Price for Existing Home at Highest Level Since 2008; Sales Drop in June to 8-Month Low
The median price of an existing single-family home rose in June to the highest level since September 2008, the fifth straight month-over-month gain, the National Association of Realtors reported Thursday. The median price was up 7.9 percent from June 2011.
June to the highest level since almost four years, the fifth straight month-month gain, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported Thursday. The median price was up 7.9 percent from June 2011.
Existing home sales dropped to 4.37 million in June to the lowest level since last October, the NAR said. It was the fourth drop in the last five months. Economists had expected the sales pace to increase to 4.65 million from 4.62 million in May.
Despite the month-month decline, existing home sales continue a steady, longer-term increase. Sales have averaged 4.54 million in the first half of this year compared with 4.258 million in the same period last year and 4,307 million in the last half of 2011.
The NAR's Pending Home Sales Index for April – which would have been reflected in the June home sales (closed sales) report — had fallen to 95.5 from 101.1 in March.
The median price of an existing home climbed 5.0 percent from May to its highest level since October 2008 when it was $189,400. The median price is up 7.9 percent in the last year, the strongest year-year increase since February 2006 when it showed an 8.3 percent year-year increase. The median price has shown a year-year gain for four straight months for the first time since mid-2006.
The inventory of homes for sale in June fell to 2.39 million, bringing the months' supply of homes on the market to 6.6 from 6.4 in May.
Even with the month-month drop in sales, the NAR said June sales were up 4.5 percent in the last year, the 12th straight month of year-year sales increases. However, sales in April and May were ahead of prior year sales by double digit percentages, up 10.0 percent in April over April 2011 and up 11.2 percent in May over May 2011.
Distressed homes – foreclosures and short sales sold at deep discounts – accounted for 25 percent of June sales — 13 percent were foreclosures and 12 percent were short sales —, unchanged from May, the NAR said, but down from 30 percent in June 2011. Foreclosures sold for an average discount of 18 percent below market value in June, while short sales were discounted 15 percent.
Total housing inventory at the end of June fell 3.2 percent from May, the third decline in the last four months and is 24.4 percent below a year ago when the inventory was 3.16 million, a 9.1-month supply.
Regionally, existing-home sales fell in June in all four Census regions, down 11.5 percent month-month in the Northeast, 6.9 percent in the West, 4.4 percent in the South and 1.9 percent in the Midwest.

Q: how to exclude domain from Wordpress links? I have a Wordpress site where all menu links don't have domain (as they should be):
https://ec2-18-169-0-22.eu-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/
Example:
Contacto

I'm creating a brand new Wordpress site to replace it, but this new site has all links with the domain:
http://ec2-52-47-81-131.eu-west-3.compute.amazonaws.com/
Example:
Blog

in both cases, in wp-config.php I have:
define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.eu-west-3.compute.amazonaws.com/' );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.eu-west-3.compute.amazonaws.com/' );

I wonder if there's a Wordpress configuration that allows to remove domain from the links.

A: I ended up using the Wordpress Make Paths Relative: https://wordpress.org/plugins/make-paths-relative/
it solved all my problems


Tonight on American Idol 2018 Live Shows, What Will Ada Vox Sing?
Ada Vox Sings The Show Must Go On For Her American Idol Top 14 performance in front of a live audience and Judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie on American Idol 2018.
Ada Vox & Lea Michele – "Defying Gravity" by Idina Menzel & Kristin Chenoweth (from 'Wicked') for their Top 24 All-Star Duets performance in front of a live audience and Judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie on American Idol 2018.
Ada Vox sings "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone for her Top 24 Solo performance in front of a live audience and Judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie on American Idol 2018.
Ada Vox powerful audition On American Idol 2018! Auditioning back in Season 12 Adam Sanders makes a return to American Idol as Ada Vox! WHAT A VOICE!
Susie Cerecedez I thought American Idol was suppose to be chosen from American voters? Why did Katy Perry take her earrings off to announce they were making an executive decision to send Ada to the top ten? What about the poor person who may have been voted by the people to stay? If the people are to vote then listen to us and stop making executive decisions. I don't care how many years of experience you all have you broke the rules!
Tomi LeBlanc Mcmillian I think it was very disrespectful the way Ada was placed into the top 10 while the other contestants in the danger zone had been sitting there patiently waiting. That was very RUDE on American Idols part!! Very disrespectful and very disappointing!!
1.) Her amazing talent. Best voice of this season.
3.) You haters! The more negative comments you make, the better chances she gets to win this competition. The only type of people against Ada are lowlives with irrelevant opinions. If you weren't so threatened by the fact someone better than you is winning in their lives, you wouldn't post such comments.
Ada Vox And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going Amazing Ada I love you. And to ALL you haters out there this is 2018 times have changed. God is watching y'all. Kathy Roland Amazing Ada I love you. And to ALL you haters out there this is 2018 times have changed. God is watching y'all.
Larry Pitts Only put in because of Katy Perry and favoritism …….there were 3 that went home that had better performances. Don't really matter once the public votes actually count.
Susan Haas Mahon All I can say is America had it right the 1st time. This is nothing more than coddling a drama queen affect of her & the judges. Just b/c she is a 'loud' singer doesn't mean her voice & notes are clear & concise, as a matter of fact, it's just the opposite. She has absolutely no control what so ever with her voice. She is meant for doing her best on cruises and Broadway, not America's Idol. THEY are the ones missing the final mark . BTW, the judges totally messed up BIG TIME choosing some of the 14 to begin with from the 24 count. Totally disappointed.

Gang jailed for £1.7m fake coin plot
Three men have been sentenced to jail for their part in an operation to flood the country with fake £1 coins, express.co.uk reports.
Fifty-four-year-old Kevin Fisher was named the man behind the plot, in which the gang intended to turn gold-coloured discs into fake coins.
The audacious scheme is thought to be the biggest ever involving the production of pound coins.
Fisher, of Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire was arrested last May along with Daniel Sullivan of Hornchurch, Essex and Mark Abbott of Enfield, north London, having been under surveillance by Scotland Yard's elite special projects team.
The gang had stored 1.6 million gold discs plus £100,000 worth of 'finished' coins in two 40ft shipping containers, kept at Parkview Farm in Waltham Abbey, Essex.
The story once again highlights the importance of checking change or implementing robust cash procedures to help prevent the spread of counterfeit money. Almost every month a new report hits the news about the production of fake money, so consumers and businesses must be vigilant, informing the police if they have any suspicions.
Jurors at Southwark Crown Court found Fisher and Sullivan guilty of possessing counterfeit currency and the items necessary for making counterfeit coins. They received 12 years between them. Abbott was given a two-year prison sentence.
Commenting on the scheme, Detective Inspector Bruce South told bbc.co.uk: "These three men are organised criminals who were intent on undermining the UK monetary system. There is nothing fake about the reality they must now face, of life behind bars."

IFP Gothams Boost Further Kudos Campaigns
Ridley Scott Honed His Craft in Commercials for Apple and More
The annual eruption of critical snark set off by the announcement of the Golden Globes nominations is usually followed by a sheepish admission: Many of the choices were in line with what was expected.
In fact, the outlier may be Oscar. In several celebrated instances in recent years, it has been the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., and not the Academy, that has hewed closer to the critical consensus. Last year, the HFPA picked "The Social Network" as best drama — as had the L.A., N.Y., London, Chicago and Boston critics, the National Board of Review, the National Society of Film Critics and a litany of other orgs. The Oscar went to "The King's Speech." In 2007, when the Academy went for "Crash," the Globes picked "Brokeback Mountain," as had many others.
This season, there's no obvious one-on-one "Social"/"King" face-off, but the reaction has been respectful.
"I actually think the HFPA acquitted themselves quite nicely this year," says Entertainment Weekly's Dave Karger of the HFPA's selections, echoing much of the response to a selection one studio publicist calls predictably "eccentric and starry," but which largely reflected choices made elsewhere in the run-up to Oscar madness.
Those selections included motion picture drama noms for some very obvious suspects — including "The Descendants," "The Help" and "Hugo" — as well as lots of love for "The Ides of March" and a well-timed assist for what may be the year's comedy showcase, "Bridesmaids."
History being what it is, however, the Globes choices are forever scrutinized for favoring studio, and not indie, fare; an aversion to anything remotely provocative or controversial ("The Tree of Life," "Melancholia") and a propensity toward nominating both films and actors that provide plenty of star power.
"I know some people are suspicious of the Angelina Jolie nomination for foreign film, but the fact is that her movie is getting strong reviews," Karger says of the Jolie-directed "In the Land of Blood and Honey." "It's much less embarrassing than giving her and Johnny Depp lead-acting nominations for 'The Tourist' last year.
"Also, I'm a huge 'Ides of March' fan so I'm happy with George Clooney getting a slot for best director. I fully expected them to nominate Mel Gibson for 'The Beaver' or Ashton Kutcher for 'Two and a Half Men' just for the attention, but they clearly resisted the urge."
Says one studio exec: "I still think a film like 'Tree' could get in the Oscars, because it's that kind of film. I'm wondering about 'The Artist,' too, and what will happen with it."
The Weinstein Co.'s Gallic B&W movie, "The Artist," is a candidate in the comedy-musical category, which can only further its campaign as one of the year's quirkiest success stories.
Elsewhere, exception was taken to what may be an intrinsic character issue with the HFPA.
"I think the exclusion of 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' reflects the foreign press' inability to connect to the well of emotion still connected to Sept. 11," says Joe Neumaier, critic for the New York Daily News. "Its late screening for the HFPA certainly didn't help, and I'm surprised Sandra Bullock and Max von Sydow weren't included. At the same time, though, it isn't a shock to find an emotional block between the HFPA and that movie's hyper-local take on tragedy."
Neumaier also points to the omission of a supporting perf, and what he saw as the disconnect between the character and the HFPA's foreign perspective.
"It may be that Melissa McCarthy's Megan in 'Bridesmaids' was too gauche and too 'American" for them," he says. "So they went with lead Kristen Wiig. Alternately, though, I think the love they showed for 'Ides of March' is partly because it felt like a peek behind the American political curtain."
There were other films that reflect American sensibilities that got some HFPA love.
The backdrop of drama nominee "Moneyball," for instance, features the quintessential American pastime, baseball. Long a U.S. passion, the sport is largely ignored in much of the rest of the world, but HFPA viewers took the story of Oakland A's g.m. Billy Beane to heart.
Then there's "The Help," which examines how African-American maids were treated in the American south in the 1960s. Clearly, writer-director Tate Taylor's pic resonated to those who may have been unaware of the abusive treatment those women suffered in the racially slanted region of the U.S.

Dubrawa (russ. Дубрава, deutsch Buylien, 1938–1945 Schulzenwalde) ist eine Siedlung im Südosten der russischen Oblast Kaliningrad im Rajon Osjorsk. Der Ort gehört zur kommunalen Selbstverwaltungseinheit Munizipalkreis Osjorsk.

Geographische Lage
Dubrawa liegt etwa 16 Kilometer südlich der Stadt Gussew (Gumbinnen) im Schnittpunkt zweier Nebenstraßen, die Walujskoje (Kuttkuhnen, 1938–1946 Eggenhof) an der Fernstraße P 508 mit Gawrilowka (Szardeningken, 1938–1946 Schardingen) bzw. Olchowatka (Walterkehmen, 1938–1946 Großwaltersdorf) mit Jablonowka (Wilhelmsberg) verbinden.

Die einstige Bahnanbindung über die acht Kilometer entfernte Station Walterkehmen (Großwaltersdorf) (heute russisch: Olchowatka) an der Bahnstrecke von Gumbinnen (Gussew) über Tollmingkehmen (1938–1946 Tollmingen, russisch: Tschistyje Prudy) nach Goldap (heute polnisch: Gołdap) existiert nicht mehr.

Geschichte
Buylien war ehemals eine preußische Staatsdomäne mit den Vorwerken Alt- und Neu Wusterwitz. Zusätzlich gab es den Forst Buylien mit dem Forsthaus und den Neuhof Buylien mit der Meierei. Am 18. März 1874 wurde der Amtsbezirk Buylien aus den Landgemeinden Alt Maygunischken (1938–1946 Erlengrund, russisch: Axjonowo,), Didsziddern (1936–1938 Didschiddern, 1938–1946 Frankenhof), Girnen (Rjasanowka), Jogelehnen (1938–1946 Jürgendorf, russisch: Dserschinskoje), Jucknischken (1938–1946 Bahnfelde, Stawropolskoje), Karklienen (1938–1946 Brauersdorf) sowie Neu Maygunischken (Axjonowo, alle Orte nicht mehr existent) und den Gutsbezirken Brödlauken Forst, Buylien (1938–1946 Schulzenwalde, Dubrawa), Ernstberg und Marienhöhe gebildet.

Die langjährige Pächterfamilie der Staatsdomäne hieß Hotopp. Nach dem preußischen Domänenpächter Friedrich Hotopp folgte der Oberamtmanns Paul Hotopp. Anfang der 1920er Jahre heiratete Dr. Hans Stahl Erika Hotopp und übernahm im Jahre 1935 die Domäne. Zuletzt umfasste sie 950 Hektar und widmete sich in der Hauptsache der Trakehnerpferdezucht für den Reitsport und das Militär (Remontenzucht). Es war das fünftgrößte Pferdegestüt in Ostpreußen.

Am 16. Juli 1938 erhielt Buylien amtlicherseits den neuen Namen "Schulzenwalde" und in dessen Folge wurde auch der Amtsbezirk umbenannt. Im Jahre 1939 gab es hier 383 Einwohner, von denen etwa 100 in der Domäne beschäftigt waren.

Bis 1945 gehörten Schulzenwalde und der Amtsbezirk Schulzenwalde mit den zuletzt noch eingegliederten Gemeinden Bahnfelde, Brauersdorf, Erlengrund, Frankenhof, Girnen und Jürgendorf zum Landkreis Gumbinnen im Regierungsbezirk Gumbinnen in der preußischen Provinz Ostpreußen.

Am 20. Oktober 1944 musste Schulzenwalde vor den herannahenden sowjetischen Truppen fluchtartig verlassen werden. Der Treck nahm den Weg über die Angerapp-Brücke bei Kissehlen (1938–1945 Angermühle, heute russisch: Putjatino) und entkam dadurch dem Massaker bei Nemmersdorf (Majakowskoje). Die endgültige Aufgabe der Domäne erfolgte im Januar 1945.

Im Jahr 1947 wurde der Ort in Dubrawa (dt. "Eichenwald") umbenannt und gleichzeitig Sitz eines Dorfsowjets im Rajon Gussew. Später gelangte der Ort in den Dorfsowjet
Bagrationowski selski Sowet im Rajon Osjorsk.

Das Herrenhaus diente noch bis in die 1960er Jahre dem russischen Militär und wurde nach einem Brand dann abgetragen. Nach dem Zerfall der Sowjetunion gründete Wilfried Stahl, Sohn von Dr. Hans Stahl, im Jahr 1992 die Domäne Buylien/Dubrawa und fing zusammen mit seinem Sohn Jan damit wieder die familiäre Bewirtschaftung des Haupthofes und der Ländereien an. Wilfried Stahl verstarb im August des Jahres 2009 in Dubrawa und wurde von seinem Sohn auf der Hotopp'schen Familiengrabinsel beigesetzt. Seitdem führt Dr. Jan Stahl den Betrieb in Dubrawa weiter fort, der durch ihn im Jahre 2012 käuflich in Eigentum umgewandelt werden konnte.

Von 2008 bis 2014 gehörte Dubrawa zur Landgemeinde Gawrilowskoje selskoje posselenije, von 2015 bis 2020 zum Stadtkreis Osjorsk und seither zum Munizipalkreis Osjorsk.

Einwohnerentwicklung

Kirche
Bis 1945 war Buylien bzw. Schulzenwalde mit seiner überwiegend evangelischen Bevölkerung in das Kirchspiel der Kirche Walterkehmen (1938–1946 Großwaltersdorf, russisch: Olchowatka) im Kirchenkreis Gumbinnen (Gussew) in der Kirchenprovinz Ostpreußen der Kirche der Altpreußischen Union eingegliedert. Letzter deutscher Geistlicher vor 1945 war Pfarrer Paul Hoffmann.

Nach 1945 kam das kirchliche Leben zum Erliegen. Nach dem Zerfall der Sowjetunion 1990/1991 suchten u. a. russlanddeutsche Umsiedler in Dubrawa eine neue Heimat und bildeten sehr bald eine kleine evangelische Gemeinde. Dank der Finanzierungshilfe aus Deutschland gelang es dem deutschen Pfarrer Heye Osterwald unter der organisatorischen und operativen Hilfe von Wilfried Stahl einen Teil eines ehemaligen Insthauses in Dubrawa anzukaufen und restaurieren zu lassen, um einen Kirchen- und Gemeinderaum einzurichten.

Im Jahre 2002 wurde der Kirchsaal mit der Gemeinde und Dorfbevölkerung eingeweiht. In ihm erinnert eine großflächige Wandkarte an das frühere Kirchspiel Walterkehmen (Großwaltersdorf) mit all seinen Orten, von denen einige heute nicht mehr existieren. Dubrawa ist jetzt eine Gemeinde der Pfarrei der Salzburger Kirche in Gussew und wird von dort durch zwei Geistliche betreut. Sie gehört zur Propstei Kaliningrad in der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche Europäisches Russland.

Schulen
In Buylien bzw. Schulzenwalde gab es vor 1945 zwei Schulen. Die ältere stand im Ortsteil Alt Wusterwitz und war einklassig. Sie bestand schon im 19. Jahrhundert. Die letzten deutschen Lehrer waren Robert Ruddies und Herbert Stresow.

Die Einrichtung einer zweiten Schule war am 3. Februar 1899 beschlossen worden. Am 1. Januar 1900 wurde die neugegründete Schule in Buylien eröffnet. Diese war zweiklassig. Letzter deutscher Lehrer war Fritz Bandelier. 1992 wurde dieses ehemalige Schulgebäude von Wilfried Stahl angemietet und komplett saniert und diente ihm ab diesem Zeitpunkt als Wohnhaus. Im Jahre 2012 konnte dieses alte Schulgebäude von seinem Sohn Dr. Jan Stahl ebenfalls in Eigentum umgewandelt werden und wird durch diesen weiterhin bewohnt und ausgebaut.

The real problem in Texas: Deregulation
Published Feb. 24, 2021
By Paul Griffin
The image by Matthew T Rader is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0
The following is a contributed article by Paul Griffin, executive director of Energy Fairness.
As extreme winter weather gripped much of Texas and millions of customers were left without power because of blackouts, national conversations took a familiar and predictable turn down partisan lines. Opponents of renewable energy pointed the finger at the state's robust wind energy, as roughly half the state's wind capacity was knocked offline. Others cast the blame on traditional thermal sources, as 30 GW of generation from nuclear, coal and natural gas were unavailable for dispatch.
In the fog of war — or winter as it were — we fear many observers may have missed the real point. It wasn't an electricity source that failed customers in Texas' mostly deregulated marketplace. It was an electricity system. That's because while regulated electricity markets are designed to serve customers, deregulated electricity markets are made to serve power providers.
The Texas experiment with electricity deregulation has been a long one, dating back to 2002. The system is far from simple. Unlike large, centrally-controlled utilities in a regulated market, electricity in Texas is generated by more than 650 different power plants owned by various companies or just a single merchant owner. After power is generated, five major utilities are responsible for delivering electricity to customers across 46,500 miles of transmission lines. Unlike a regulated market, five in six Texas customers are free choose their retail energy supplier, meaning the company they choose as their retail provider likely doesn't own the means of generation and transmission of electricity, but simply pays to contract those services.
The result for Texas customers hasn't always been clear. Some customers have saved money under deregulation, but many have been worse off. That's because Texans in deregulated markets have paid higher average prices than those in regulated ones. In fact, one report showed that Texas customers could have saved $27 billion from 2002 through 2016 had they paid the same price as customers living in regulated parts of the state. Energy choice, it turned out, wasn't all that it seemed.
The result for Texas' power system? That's becoming more clear by the year. In July of 2018, we wrote that the reserve margin in Texas — the measure of how much surplus power the grid can count on in extreme conditions — had fallen to less than 10% as three coal-fired power plants and one natural gas plant were forced into retirement. That July, peak demand in Texas hit 71,444 MW, with actual reserves of just 2,000 MW, or just one more closed power plant away from brownouts.
Projections for the summer of 2019 were no better, with the reserve margin at just 7.5% and Chairman of the Texas Public Utilities Commission (PUC), DeAnn Walker, calling the situation "very scary." Consider that in 2001, just one year prior to Texas memorializing deregulation into law, Texas PUC Chairman Pat Wood boasted of the state's 25% reserve margin being North America's largest.
Now, blasted by winter storms that sent demand soaring to a seasonal record of 69,150 MW on Valentine's Day, the Texas grid simply couldn't deliver. That's because the power system in Texas wasn't really designed to deliver power to customers. It was designed to deliver revenue to the patchwork quilt of companies that choose to participate in its marketplace. Companies that could disappear in a year. Companies that collect bills from customers, but have no obligation to restore downed power lines, because someone else owns them. Companies that promise the moon to customers in the hopes of gaining market share, but have little to no stake in what happens to Texas communities in the coming decades.
It's little wonder, given that model, why some owners of Texas power production wouldn't protect their assets against extreme weather. Why some wind turbines appear to have not been winterized. Why other facilities appear to have not taken the necessary steps to ensure assets worked when customers needed them the most. Because in a deregulated market, one where one company generates power, another delivers it, and another sells it, there's little incentive not to cut corners. After all, who's really to blame?
There is no doubt that Texas officials will work hard to get to the bottom of exactly why millions in Texas were left in the cold. And they should. But the disaster in Texas is also an opportunity for policy makers across the U.S. to learn, too. Texas has seen higher prices and lower reliability since it abandoned the regulated electricity model. Following the same path is a losing move for customers.
