For many years Venom was known more as a t-shirt design than a comic book character. But then the '90s ended,and the world collectively realized that wearing black all the time, while awesome, could not go on forever. If we over-consumed the precious resource of the all-black wardrobe, its strength would diminish. And so it was decided that the responsibility of dressing solely in black would be given to Neil Gaiman alone.
Time passed, the rest of the world moved on, and Marvel was left with the task of salvaging Venom and turning him into an interesting character again, a challenge they are undertaking once more in this week's Venom #1, which gets off to a good start in an unexpected way.Previously, the alien symbiote passed to a new owner, Mac Gargan, and became an amusingly horrific and unrepentant villain but the in the wake of the Siege story, Venom has been removed from Gargan and is being used as part of a shadowy weapons program by the U.S. government. Its current host is Flash Thompson, a crippled war hero and a former high school bully to Peter Parker, who is temporarily attached to the symbiote for special, highly classified missions.
The first issue of Venom is almost entirely focused on one such mission. Thompson is sent into the war-torn Eastern European country of Nrosvekistan to capture a mad scientist arms dealer, and to bring him in alive. In his way is both a small army and the Jack O'Lantern, a mercenary supervillain sent to bring in the same scientist.
Thompson is also operating under the restrictions his handlers have placed on his use of the symbiote: He can't spend more than forty-eight hours attached to it or the bond becomes permanent, and if he ever loses himself to anger and the symbiote takes full control a killswitch will be activated and he'll die. Which is what happened to the last guy the government attached Venom to.
As a military veteran, Flash has a much stronger streak of patriotism and willingness to follow orders than your standard costumed crimefighter, something we see in the inner monologue that narrates the issue. Flash has clearly held beliefs and ideals that he values above his own safety and well-being. At the same time, he demonstrates a willingness to ignore orders if they conflict with those beliefs, as seen on several occasions when he protects innocent civilians caught in the crossfire of battle rather than pursuing his assigned target.
Flash wears the costume of a villain, but is clearly a good guy. And that's a message reinforced by the book's art team of penciler Tony Moore, colorist John Rauch, and inker Danny Miki's Crimelab! Studios. When Flash enters the hellish setting of smoke-clogged Nrosvekistan, he does it looking more like black-costumed Spider-Man than the monstrous Venom on the cover. And while Flash does take on a more monstrous appearance later in the issue as he loses his cool, the book still hammers home the message that this version of Venom is a good guy. Even if he's not perfect.
What does strike me as odd is that I'm spending most of my time talking about the character of Flash Thompson and not the character of Venom in a book named Venom. That's because, at least in issue 1, the symbiote is treated less like a character and more like an object -- a ticking bomb trapped in the back of Flash's head that creates tension because it could go off at any moment.
If previous depictions of Venom are what has you interested, you should be warned that you won't find that here, at least not in issue #1. There's about one page where Flash starts to lose it and you see the monster peeking out from inside, but that's all so far.
What I find intriguing about the series is that instead of being about Venom, it's more about envisioning a darker, alternate version of Spider-Man. Like Peter, Flash's life as a hero must be kept secret from his loved ones and causes trouble in his relationships. But while Peter's left to laugh off another stood up date, Flash has his crying girlfriend slam the door in his face, leaving him to fight back against a relapse of alcoholism as he pushes himself past a bar in his wheelchair.
Both Peter and Flash have been given great power and want to use it to help the innocent, but while Peter's his own man when it comes to super-heroing, Flash's powers and missions are given in the form of orders from a government official with a gruff demeanor and as yet unknown motivations. And I have to wonder if the way Flash fails in part of his mission here in issue 1 is a deliberate nod to one of the biggest failures of Peter Parker's heroic career.
And it says something about the costume's original design that its popularity has led to demand for multiple incarnations of the character over its almost thirty year history. The new Venom series may not be immediately satisfying to fans of Venom as a ravenous monster, and it's a little continuity heavy for new or lapsed readers whose interest in Venom probably comes from owning a t-shirt or picking him whenever they play Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. But this is a book with good potential, and I'm curious to see whether or not Flash Thompson's going to be able to stick to his ideals and fight off the monster he's allowed inside him.

Nigeria escapes another $1.8bn fine in oil deal in US
Written on 06 September 2019 .
Nigeria has escaped another legal judgement against it after a US judge rejected Exxon Mobil Corp's and Royal Dutch Shell Plc's effort to revive a $1.8 billion arbitration award. Reuters reports that William Pauley who is a US district judge gave the judgement on Wednesday, September 4.
The case was brought against Nigeria over a 1993 contract dispute with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation over extraction of oil. The judge "cited public policy and due process considerations in deciding not to enforce the October 2011 award against the NNPC which was subsequently set aside by courts in Nigeria." Pauley wrote in his decision that "while this court may have inherent authority to fashion appropriate relief in certain circumstances, exercising that authority to create a $1.8 billion judgment is a bridge too far.
The companies said that the award had grown to $2.67 billion, including interest. Exxon spokesman Todd Spitler said they disagreed with the judgement and now re-evaluating their next step.
Cecilia Moss who is the lawyer of the NNPC said: "NNPC is very pleased with the decision, and was always confident that there was no basis for a U.S. court to confirm the award." According to court papers "the 1993 contract anticipated that Exxon and Shell affiliates would invest billions of dollars to extract oil from the Erha field, about 60 miles (97 km) off Nigeria's coast, and share profits with NNPC." It was however reported that more oil was extracted contrary to the contract.
The judge said Exxon and Shell "executed a contract in Nigeria with another Nigerian corporation containing an arbitration clause requiring any arbitration to be held in Nigeria under Nigerian law, and it then sought to confirm the award in Nigeria.
Meanwhile, former minister of defence Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma revealed that he committed $40 million for the take-off of the energy project which was a contract between the federal government and the Process and Industrial Development Ltd (P&ID).
In an interview with Businessweek Magazine, the former minister said the project was his original idea but that it was hijacked by co-founder of P&ID, Michael Quinn.
The Irish company was awarded $9.6 billion against Nigeria over the failed gas flaring project and Danjuma claimed one of his companies, Ita-Kuru Petrochemicals Ltd, provided the fund to prepare for it.

Researchers from the A*STAR's Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) developed a new manufacturing system of next generation Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) which could dramatically improve the way small electronic devices keep cool. Named liquid forging, the new technique has taken the first leap from research laboratory towards the global market in high-powered lighting.
Many electronic parts require heat sinks to transfer the heat away since the build up heat can damage parts and cause them to lose efficiency or burn out. Liquid forging was developed by a SIMTech team led by John Yong back in 2008, and it is on its way to revolutionize production of LEDs while making them brighter and longer-lasting.
The process is highly scalable allowing a single step creation of complex parts consisting out of composite materials such as copper and aluminum. Therefore, the method can be used to simultaneously create heat sinks and light fixtures. Aside significantly minimizing assembly costs, the system could enable more complex designs of heat sinks with more efficient heat dissipation.
According to the claims of the developers, the thermal conductivity of liquid-forged products beats conventional techniques such as casting by a factor of two. Another benefit of this approach is the fact it creates a product which requires less machining, partly because the process uses raw materials more efficiently. The resultant heat sink can be anodized, improving thermal performance by an additional 10–15%.
They expect that products created with this technique will hit the shelves as early as 2013, but they aren't limiting its use only on LEDs production.
"Liquid forging is a low-cost system with the potential to compete with traditional manufacturing processes in the biomedical, aerospace and automotive industries. Amongst other things, this technique could be used to make alloy wheel trims, electronic casings or pistons", said Philip Lim, ETPL's Chief Executive Officer.

Roughly 300 Marines are en route to Afghanistan to help Afghan troops stop the Taliban from swallowing more of the hard-fought territory for which so many Marines have bled and died, Marine Corps Times has learned.
The deployment of Marines from the II Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, will be the largest Marine deployment to Afghanistan since 2014, when the U.S. military's combat mission known as Operation Enduring Freedom officially ended.
By the end of April, the Marines will be in Helmand province as Task Force Southwest, replacing the Army's Task Force Forge. During their nine months in Helmand, the Marines will train the Afghan National Army's 215th Corps and the 505th Zone National Police in marksmanship, indirect fire and small-unit tactics and other skills, Marine Corps officials said.
Helmand province is becoming increasingly dangerous for U.S. troops. In March, three American soldiers were shot at an Afghan military base in an apparent insider attack and in February, a Special Forces soldier was severely wounded in Sangin.
Afghanistan Ministry of Defense welcomes deploy of U.S. Forces in Helmand province of Afghanistan.
Since most U.S. troops left Afghanistan three years ago, the Taliban have captured much of southern Afghanistan, including Sangin, where nearly 50 Marines have died in fighting through the years.

Here are our always-in-progress Frequently Asked Questions for CEDAR. Got a question? Contact us!
What is CEDAR good for?
The CEDAR Workbench can be built into an existing metadata or data processing pipeline, help you submit metadata to an existing repository, or serve as a full-service metadata repository. It can be used to collect metadata following any specified template (form). It has also been useful for capturing metadata models or structures, with the added benefit of testing those models quickly using real data.
If you want to submit your metadata (even including data) to a particular domain repository, contact us about your interest; we are always evaluating which repositories to add next. See our Orientation for details.
How do I get an account on CEDAR?
Just go to the site (https://cedar.metadatacenter.org), where you will see a login screen. You can register using the Register link on that screen (just above the red Google icon), using your social media account or email address. That's it—you can start using CEDAR now!
I can't figure out what to do! How do I create a template or fill one out?
If you want to create a template that people can then use, go to your home directory (using the Home button at upper left). To create a new template (or anything else) move the mouse pointer to the red button in the lower right, wait for the options to pop up, and select what you want to create.
To fill out some metadata for a template, you'll need to find the template you're providing metadata for (hint: you can search for it), then control-click or right-click on the template and select "Populate" to generate a form to fill out. (If someone else has given you a link to fill out a CEDAR template, just go to that link in your browser. Once you're logged in you'll be in the Metadata Editor, ready to start filling out metadata.
For more startup information, go to our tools-training/training-cedar CEDAR training page, or to our CEDAR support page.
What makes CEDAR forms so special? Google forms/SurveyMonkey surveys can do most of this.
CEDAR is a little bit richer in some ways than Google forms or Survey Monkey surveys, and CEDAR adds two things in particular: real-time semantics, and metadata smarts.
With CEDAR semantics, you control exactly what terms can satisfy a query—and as soon as the source ontology changes, users see the updated list in the drop-down choices. By connecting your questions to other questions on the same subject, and connecting your answers to other answers that mean the same thing, these semantic relations can be exploited in the resulting metadata. As CEDAR collects more metadata for more standards and external systems, those connections will become more valuable as you ask about existing metadata (or build new CEDAR templates!).
And CEDAR knows a lot about entering metadata. Sure it can give a list of (semantically precise!) controlled terms to choose from, and auto-suggest completions for you. But it can also learn and share how the community filled out those forms, to help you check your own work. And using CEDAR, your lab manager can pre-configure a form for the team to use, hiding all the irrelevant fields and pre-setting defaults, to make your job faster.
Plus, over time CEDAR developers will be adding more time savers, like pulling in metadata from other sources, or validating your metadata against domain-specific rules. You'll get these features for free as soon as they are available.
What format is the metadata saved in? How can I access it?
We save the metadata as JSON-LD (in a Mongo database). We make it available (to those with access privileges) via the user interface, in both JSON-LD and the equivalent RDF Click on the format (at the bottom of the screen) to choose how you want to view it.
You can also access the metadata via the CEDAR API, in both of these formats, and in a "condensed JSON" format. That last format gets rid of lots of the link information (including much of the rich semantics).
Is CEDAR open source, and if so, does it plan to continue to be open source?
Yes, and yes. You can find CEDAR source code at https://github.com/metadatacenter, and technical documentation at https://metadatacenter.github.io.
Can you make it easier to work with templates and elements, e.g., nesting a template within a template?
Yes, but not yet. Right now, only an element can be included within a template. We will make it easier to create elements on the fly, among other features.
I have a system that already has a collection of metadata. Can I put that into CEDAR without retyping everything?
Yes! The CEDAR APIs allow you to post your metadata content to CEDAR. You will need to define a template that will support your metadata content, and then format your metadata to match the corresponding CEDAR instance. One common way to do this is to create the template (the metadata form) the way you want it, then create an instance (one filled out metadata resource) using dummy data. You can inspect the format of the dummy instance (either downloading via API, or copying the text from the JSON-LD selector at the bottom of the instance form) in order to obtain the pattern that your instances will need to follow.
Our example repository on GitHub shows how to generate Java classes that produce CEDAR instances conforming to a particular template. You would need to write code to read the data from your XML archive and then use the API of the generated Java classes to copy values from your XML metadata into the Java object, which would then get serialized as JSON-LD.
What is the 'link' fieldtype for?
This is appropriate when you know the result has to be a URL, or some other type of IRI (the internationalized, generalized form of a URL). Unlike text fields, this field type validates the metadata entry to make sure it's an IRI, and it produces appropriately typed RDF in the resulting metadata.
What do you use for your identifiers?
you will see the first identifier string, like https://repo.metadatacenter.net/templates/226d6778-5978-4d55-a284-d8e7ec522ca5. This is the identifier for your artifact, in this case a template.
Note that the template identifier will not (yet) resolve in your browser if you do not prefix it with the appropriate CEDAR context, e.g., in this case https://cedar.metadatacenter.net/templates/edit/.
How do I look up all instances of a template?
Use the API search feature with the identifier of the template to find all the related instances. See the linked documentation for the details.
How do I enter diacritics and other special characters?
You should be able to enter them the same way you would in any other text entry in your computer—use the character chooser, or change your keyboard (both software tools are part of the computer operation system), or copy the special characters from another document and paste them into CEDAR. Please tell us if there is a CEDAR field that does not handle them correctly.
Can I deploy CEDAR in my own computing environment?
This is our intention, but CEDAR is not yet deployable in this way. We have Dockerized CEDAR so that we can deploy it internally, but can not release it for external use until we have addressed some engineering and policy issues. Contact us if you want more information about the release of a Dockerized version of CEDAR.


I have just returned from one of my regular trips to BCN staying at a friend's flat off Las Ramblas. Walking home by myself down Las Ramblas (sober) at 1am on Friday night I was physically attacked 3 separate times in about 200 metres by "prostitutes". After the 3rd attack (suffering scratches and welts) I had to take refuge in a shop for a few minutes where the shopkeeper just shrugged at my plight. No police about. No one came to help me. It just seemed an accepted part of life on Las Ramblas. I was so distraught by the attacks I was home by 8pm every night for the rest of my stay. It has happened before, but this time was way beyond what I've experienced before. My friend is Spanish and hasn't had a problem. They target me as I look like a typical British tourist but there's not much I can do about that! I'm so incensed by my experience I'm thinking of starting a bout of letter campaigning. No point complaining if I'm not going to do anything about it! Any suggestions of who to write to?
While, I'm glad to know my mind's not playing tricks on me, I'm disgusted nonetheless that this is going on, and would like to hear about ways to put an end to this.

easyJet and Girlguiding aim to get girls flying with new aviation badge for Brownies
Tags: Careers, EasyJet, Skills, STEM, Training, Women in aviation
Budget airline easyJet has joined forces with Girlguiding to engage more girls in aviation. The partnership is the first to be announced as part of Girlguiding's biggest ever overhaul of badges and activities, which will be revealed in full this summer. As part of this new programme, easyJet is sponsoring a new Aviation badge for Brownies.
Over 200,000 girls aged seven to ten will have the opportunity to complete the badge, with the aim of engaging them with industries such as aviation early, building a foundation for future study and raising awareness of the opportunities to be a pilot as a future career. It is estimated that tens of thousands of girls will undertake this badge in its first year.
To earn the badge, girls will challenge themselves to think of 40 things that fly and put their engineering skills to the test, creating their own aircraft experiments with different building materials, structures and launch techniques.
STEM attitudes
Girlguiding's Girls' Attitudes Survey found:
Becoming a pilot was named as being a dream job amongst 7-10 year old girls
15% of 7-10 year old girls believe STEM subjects have the image of being more for boys, compared to over half (52%) of 11-21 year old girls
76% of 7-10 year old girls feel encouraged when they see a woman doing a job they want to do
42% (7-10) and 63% (11-21) girls would like to be a leader in their chosen job
Further, a recent easyJet survey with over 500 pilots found:
Visible role models who featured in childhood, like family members or pilots they met when travelling on holiday, were vital to inspiring young people to consider the career.
Both male and female pilots surveyed agreed that the most effective outreach efforts would be to work with school teachers and youth and community leaders to spread awareness of the career.
The partnership with Girlguiding will extend easyJet's outreach work as part of its Amy Johnson Flying Initiative to a community of nearly half a million girls and young women, with the intention of matching local Girlguiding units with pilot speakers. Since launching the Initiative in 2015, easyJet pilots including many female pilots, have visited over 140 schools and colleges to raise the profile of the career.
Shifting the balance
Captain Kate McWilliams, easyJet pilot, commented: "I joined the air cadets when I was 13 where I got plenty of flying experience. However it was a lot later when I imagined a career in commercial aviation as I didn't know any commercial pilots who I could ask for advice. I never even thought it could be an option available to me.
"Having been a Brownie myself I am delighted that this new aviation badge will engage girls in the career from an early age. I love being a commercial pilot for easyJet, it's a fantastic career and anyone with an interest should consider it."
Jess Bond, lead volunteer for Girlguiding's Programme Renewal commented: "We are incredibly excited to be working with easyJet to empower the next generation of girls and young women to start a career in aviation.
"We know from our research that younger girls aspire to all types of careers, including becoming a pilot. However in reality only about 4% of pilots are women.
"Our partnership will help to tackle the gender stereotypes girls often face as they get older, providing them with relevant skills and building confidence ready for the future to make dream careers become a reality."
Brownie, Emma, 9 said: "I'm so excited for the new Aviation badge and to learn more about flying and being a pilot. It's really great that we get to find out about exciting jobs we could do in the future."

US Senate votes to punish Saudi Arabia
Guillaume Albasini November 29, 2018 in Geopolitics
Guillaume Albasini + 701
Defying President Trump, senators sent a strong signal Wednesday they want to punish Saudi Arabia for its role in the slaying of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The Senate voted 63 to 37 to move forward with legislation calling for an end to U.S. involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
The vote was a rebuke not only to Saudi Arabia but to the Trump administration, which has been clear it does not want to torpedo the long-standing U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia over the killing.
Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo and Defense Secretary James N. Mattis both came to Capitol Hill to urgently lobby against the resolution, which would call for an end to U.S. military assistance for the conflict that human rights advocates say is wreaking havoc on Yemen and subjecting civilians to indiscriminate bombing.
The vote showed a significant number of Republicans were willing to break with Trump to express their deep dissatisfaction with Saudi Arabia and with the U.S. response to Khashoggi's brutal killing in Turkey last month.

We always seek to recruit the very best candidate for any role within our firm and we genuinely welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds. Where needed, we will provide 'reasonable adjustments' and we always aim to give appropriate support to members of our staff to assist them to flourish in their role and career.
In July 2017, we conducted a survey on the diversity of our staff in accordance with the Solicitors Regulation Authority's guidelines and the results were fed-in to the SRA's survey of the profession in August 2017. The survey asked questions about the 'protected characteristics' in the equalities legislation, such as gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religion and disability, but also sought to understand the social background of those working in the legal profession, with additional questions on caring responsibilities and education.
Our staff of around 100 were invited to take part in the survey and we were pleased that 72 chose to respond. This gave us a valuable insight on the make-up of our firm and helped us to identify areas of under-representation.

Q: How to add event handler to a dynamically created control in VB.NET? I have searched and seen countless samples here in this forum and in other sites but I'm still stuck with this problem;
I want to add a Click Handler for dynamically created PictureBox-es and pas an argument on it so I know which one of picture boxes was clicked).
Here is my current code:
Public Class frmMbarimAbonimi

Private Sub frmMbarimAbonimi_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'FitnessdbDataSet.clients' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
    'Me.ClientsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.FitnessdbDataSet.clients)

    '===============
    Dim dt As DataTable = PaPaguar()
    Dim i As Integer = 0

    Dim gr(dt.Rows.Count) As GroupBox
    Dim pp(dt.Rows.Count) As PictureBox
    Dim lb(dt.Rows.Count) As Label

    For Each row As DataRow In dt.Rows

        gr(i) = New GroupBox
        gr(i).Width = 200
        gr(i).Height = 180

        pp(i) = New PictureBox
        pp(i).SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage

        lb(i) = New Label

        '-------------------------
        Try
            Using str As Stream = File.OpenRead("C:\Fotot\" + dt.Rows(i).Item("Foto"))
                pp(i).Image = Image.FromStream(str)
            End Using

            lb(i).Text = dt.Rows(i).Item("Emer")

        Catch ex As Exception

            MsgBox("Fotoja nuk mund te ngarkohet, ju lutem realizoheni nje foto tjeter!!!")

        End Try
        '-------------------------
        pp(i).Visible = True
        pp(i).Width = 200
        pp(i).Height = 150

        AddHandler pp(i).Click, AddressOf testini

        gr(i).Controls.Add(pp(i))

        lb(i).Visible = True
        lb(i).Width = 200
        lb(i).Height = 30
        lb(i).Left = pp(i).Left
        lb(i).Top = pp(i).Top + 150
        lb(i).BackColor = Color.WhiteSmoke
        lb(i).BringToFront()
        gr(i).Controls.Add(lb(i))

        flpanel.Controls.Add(gr(i))

        i = i + 1
    Next row
End Sub
End Class

So I was trying to use AddHandler pp(i).Click, AddressOf testini but obviously this does not allow me to call "testini" with a parameter to identify which picture box was clicked.
Can someone point me in the right direction or give some advice? Greatly appreciated.

A: You need to add something to your created PictureBox to identify them in the event handler because you can't change the signature of  the click event handler adding a 'parameter'
For example, you could set the Name property
pp(i) = New GroupBox
pp(i).Name = "PictureBox" + i.ToString

then in the event handler you could recognize your picture box casting the sender object to a picturebox and grabbing the Name property.
Remember, sender is always the control that triggers the event. In your case is always one of your dinamically created PictureBoxes
Private Sub testini(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
     Dim pb As PictureBox = DirectCast(sender, PictureBox)
     Dim pbIdentity As String = pb.Name
     .....
End Sub

Another look...
Two new releases (sort of)! These two titles have been repackaged as Maddie James titles. I am transitioning a few of my former Bella Masters titles over to the Maddie James pen name. If you see titles that are authored "Maddie James writing as Bella Masters" you know these books have a much higher heat level than the typical Maddie James books, and would be considered erotic romance.
The Bachelorette Party
Three women, three stories, and one erotic night that will change their lives forever...
Double Trouble for the Wedding Planner
Mary Kate Wells refuses to admit that she's innocent. She has had sex, she's here to tell you. But the truth is, when Johnny the Stripper calls the day of the bachelorette party to confirm his appointment later that night, the sound of his voice saying, "Hi, Mary. My name is Johnny, and I'll be your stripper this evening," jerks her libido into full-speed ahead like nothing she'd ever felt before. And then when Johnny arrives with his twin brother Shawn at his side, the fire in her gut could only be put out by one thing--no wait, two.
Lainie Wells will get married. She will, she will, she will. It's perfect. He's perfect. Her life will be perfect. Bleh, bleh, bleh. Thoroughly confused and utterly disgusted with herself, she's resigned to impending marriage. Besides, Mary Kate has everything planned and her father has footed an astronomical bill thus far. She will, she will, she will. And she keeps saying that all the way up to the point where her ex-lover and maximum curler of her toes, Simon Shepherd, takes the stage during the drag show, links gazes with her and won't let go, and later feels her up back stage until she's spent and more. Suddenly, "I do" feels more like "I don't." But Simon left her two years earlier, telling her he was gay. Why is he coming after her now?
Ghostly Encounter of the Ménage Kind
"I just wanna get laid. And good." As Dee looks up from her drink while sitting in the luxurious bar at the Seelbach Hotel after the uneventful-for-her bachelorette party, she swears a man is staring back at her in the mirror. Their gazes connect and hold, she turns, but no one is there. The sexual titillation that runs through her body at that moment frightens her almost as much as the fact that she's pretty darned certain she's seen a ghost. Earlier during the party, as pictures were snapped with digital cameras, the women all proclaimed to see orbs circulating Dee's body. And Dee's alone. As the night rolls on, Dee experiences a ghostly encounter of the ménage kind that makes her believe in sex here, and in the forever after--which takes getting laid to a whole other level.

Two ménage à trois Christmas novellas in one package! This collection includes A Ménage Christmas, and Nice and Naughty -- first time available as a two-fer set!
A Ménage Christmas
Bree Noël Conner doesn't do relationships well. Like most men she knows, she has a straying eye that often gets her into trouble. She loves pretty men and frequently wants to sample them. That fact has gotten her into more trouble, and out of more relationships, than she'd care to admit. So, when she finds herself standing on an ottoman in an artsy-fartsy holiday party being auctioned off to the highest bidder (for a good cause, of course) and subsequently bound to a king-sized bed built for three, her merry Christmas quickly turns into a potential ménage Christmas--and her wandering eye might be satisfied, once and for all.
Nice and Naughty
Cassie Franklin has to prove herself. After all, she's the first female head of the English department at the university. But that doesn't mean she has to prove herself sexually to Eric Marsh, a fellow professor in the English department, too. Does it? Then there is Ryan. Strong and sexy, with hands that can ease away the tension of most any job, he almost makes her forget her risky escapades with Eric. And that Eric left her. Cassie discovers that Ryan and Eric have a closer connection than she ever could have imagined, and that they have very specific plans for her. Is she ready for two?

12 questions for Nichole Ayers, Rice's newest astronaut
Air Force pilot earned master's in computational and applied math
Air Force Major Nichole Ayers, a fighter pilot from Colorado with a master's degree from Rice University's George R. Brown School of Engineering, has been selected by NASA as part of the 23rd class of astronauts.
Ayers joins a storied program on the cusp of a boom in spaceflight, with manned rockets launching once again from American soil and progress toward the next round of missions to the moon.
After graduating from the Air Force Academy, Ayers spent two years at Rice, where she earned a master's in computational and applied mathematics in 2013, specializing in fluid dynamics. She was mentored at Rice by Tim Warburton, a former CAAM professor now at Virginia Tech.
Nichole Ayers
Since then, she's completed flight school, qualified as an instructor pilot in the T-38 Talon and F-22 Raptor, and flown more than 200 combat hours over Iraq and Syria.
NASA gave Rice News the opportunity to talk with Ayers a day after agency administrator Bill Nelson introduced the class, now part of the Artemis generation of astronauts, to the nation at Johnson Space Center. The 10 members, selected from a pool of 12,000 who applied to become astronauts in this round, begin formal training in January.
RN: Do you have a goal or a preference for the International Space Station, the moon or Mars?
Ayers: Oh, man. I'm just excited to be here at this point. You know, we've got two years of training coming up, and then I would love to do any mission that NASA wants me to do. The next steps are getting to the moon and learning how to live long-term in space, and then eventually to Mars. So really excited about where human spaceflight is going. And, you know, just happy to be here and be part of the NASA team.
RN: When did you apply to the astronaut corps?
Ayers: I applied in March of 2020, for this class. The interviews started in June, the final round of interviews were in August and September, and then they just made the announcement yesterday (Dec. 6).
RN: As one who's grown up with space travel as part of the landscape, what attracted you to join NASA?
Ayers: As a little kid, I had an affinity for flying, an affinity for space (and) I kind of set my sights on wanting to be a pilot, and then moving on and applying to NASA. I was kind of a serious little kid, I worked really hard to get to the Air Force Academy and become a pilot.
I finally met the minimum requirements to apply last year for the NASA program. I just tried to work hard every day to get to become one of the candidates.
RN: What was the last requirement you had to meet?
Ayers: It was actually the amount of flight hours. I had to have a master's degree in in STEM. … And then, as a pilot, I had to have 1,000 hours minimum in jet aircraft. So I had about 1,018 when I applied.
RN: Have they put you on a training track based on your experience or interests?
Ayers: We actually all go through the same training process. So that's pretty cool. We all get to be a team together and get to learn together. So what we'll do is learn the T-38. For the pilots, we will learn how to fly from the front seat, and the non-pilots will actually learn to fly in the back seat. And then we get to fly together once we're all qualified.
That's what I'm probably most excited about. But we'll also learn space station systems, we'll learn robotics, we'll learn how to do spacewalks and then we'll even learn the Russian language. So we will all go through the same training process.
RN: The T-38 seems like kind of a slam dunk for a Raptor (F-22) pilot. Is that true?
Ayers: I actually flew the T-38A model at the beginning of my career and the NASA T-38s are updated versions of that. So I'm pretty excited to get back into the NASA version. It's going to be a common theme, but getting to know my teammates while we're flying, I think, that's one of the coolest parts, to get to sit together in the jet and go from point A to point B and learn about all these amazing backgrounds of my classmates.
RN: What did you learn at Rice that's going to be helpful?
Ayers: Learning higher-level math and really deep-diving into the subject is what's going to set me up. I've been telling everybody it's about finding something you're passionate about and really digging into that and working hard at that.
And that's what getting a master's degree at Rice is all about, really digging into a subject and getting good at it and working hard. So I think that will truly transfer into the training that we're about to go through.
RN: If you could take a Rice professor with you, who would it be?
Ayers: Oh, boy. Dr. Warburton taught me all I know about computational fluid dynamics, and I'd love to go to space with him. He's a great human, got to know him really well and learned a ton from him. So I think that'd be awesome to share the NASA experience with him.
RN: The first astronauts were combat and test pilots. Do you feel like you're standing on the shoulders of giants?
Ayers: Absolutely. I mean, I've used that term, actually, a few times already in the last few days. Everybody else has paved the way for us to become part of the NASA team. Hopefully, we can then, after training, start to build the way for others as NASA starts to work towards the moon and long-term spaceflight.
RN: Extravehicular activities seem like the ultimate flying experience. Do you look forward to spacewalking?
Ayers: Yes, sir. I've heard amazing things. You know, I don't think anything will ever beat the view from the space station, and especially from spacewalks, when you're actually outside the space station and get to see the world. I cannot wait for that experience.
RN: Are you anticipating the possibility of going to the moon? And how does your family feel about that?
Ayers: My family's super excited, you know, they couldn't be more proud. My parents, definitely. I've got a twin sister and all of her kiddos were here this weekend. And then I think my biggest supporter, who's more excited than anybody, is my husband.
I've always had the support of my family. I think that's one of the main reasons that I've made it to this bar and get to join the NASA team here.
RN: Earlier astronauts have waited years to go to space, but with commercial space enterprises ramping up, it doesn't seem like you're going to have to wait that long.
Ayers: Hopefully not. We'll see. You know, we have at least two years of training and then we'll be assigned to a mission after that. So no idea on the exact timeline, but I'm excited to be part of the team.

Blackest Sheep
November 2, 2020 Joanne Yeck
The Blackest Sheep, inspired by the life of my great uncle Eugene Harris, is available online at many booksellers, including Amazon and Braughler Books.
Curious about the lives of Dan Blanco, Evelyn Nesbit, and Gene Harris? Dive into the blog archive at joannelyeck.com to learn about Chicago after dark during the first half of the 20th century and the legendary Club Alabam.
Gene Harris: The Pony King
November 27, 2019 November 27, 2019 Joanne Yeck
Gene Harris poses with pony in Leon, Iowa.
By 1955, the breeding, raising, selling and showing of Shetland ponies was a $31 million industry in America. Gene Harris expected demand to double. Illinois became the world's capital of Shetland Pony breeding and, by 1958, Harris described himself as the "world's largest pony dealer," owning farms in Illinois and in his home town of Leon, Iowa.
The ever innovative Gene Harris sold his ponies via mail-order catalogs, including Sears, Montgomery Ward, and Spiegel. An early advertisement read: "You may choose my name. I am a male pony (gelding) 40 inches tall. I am black in color and 5 years old. I'm very gentle and affectionate—very much of a pet. I am suitable for a child 4 to 12 years of age. I am in good health. $250 is my price—$50 to be sent with the order and $200 C.O.D. when I arrive."
One journalist quipped that ponies had become Harris' main business. The Club Alabam was a sideline.
Jack "West Side" Barry
Jack "West Side" Barry.
When Dan Blanco opened Chicago's Club Alabam in 1927, he may have had financial backers and business partners whose secrecy was guarded. Even if a club could not openly sell liquor during Prohibition, it was always available and gangsters were your suppliers.
In 1930, Blanco's connection to Bugs Moran's North Side gang was made public when Moran's accountant, Jack Zuta, was shot and killed. Zuta's ledger included accounts with "Albam," presumed to be Blanco's Club Alabam.
In December of that year, two gangsters Anthony "Red" Kissane and Jack "West Side" Barry menaced Dan Blanco and indulged in some gun play at the club.
Eager to find out if justice was served? The details are in my newest book, The Blackest Sheep.
Evelyn Nesbit's Griffons
Evelyn Nesbit (1924).
In 1925, Evelyn Nesbit made a spectacular comeback at Chicago's Moulin Rouge Café. She traveled with her four Belgian Griffons. Never without a lapdog or two or three, Evelyn's beloved Griffons even accompanied her to Panama.
"They are so much more companionable than men," she told the press. "Dogs are honest and faithful and never deceitful. That's more than you can say for some men."
Gene Harris' Fashion Club Stables
November 6, 2019 November 6, 2019 Joanne Yeck
In addition to owning and operating Chicago's Club Alabam, Gene Harris loved horses and riding thoroughbreds. In 1937, Harris' deep Virginia roots were showing when he purchased the Fashion Club Stables, located on North Cleveland Avenue, one block west of Clark Street.
Harris' lighthearted personality infused every business he launched and his advertisements for the stables echoed his amusing ads for Club Alabam.
Tragically, the stables burned in 1945, killing a total of eighty horses.
Shootout at the Northern Lights
October 30, 2019 October 30, 2019 Joanne Yeck 1 Comment
Dorothy Kester, showgirl at the Northern Lights.
During Prohibition, Chicago was filled with mob-driven violence. No one was exempt from getting in the line of fire, including Club Alabam founder Dan Blanco.
In 1924, Blanco was the proprietor of a Chicago roadhouse called Northern Lights, a "gangster friendly" café. One muggy summer night it became a crime scene.
Johnny Phillips, a classic puck, roughed up one of the showgirls, Dorothy Kester. The police were summoned. Shooting ensued. Phillips was killed and a policeman injured.
None of this was good for business and the officials put a padlock on Northern Lights. Remarkably, Dan Blanco escaped with his reputation intact.
Eager to read the full story? It's detailed in my newest book, The Blackest Sheep.
Evelyn Nesbit Wows Chicago
October 23, 2019 October 23, 2019 Joanne Yeck
Moulin Rouge Café. 416 South Wabash Ave. Courtesy Chicago Tribune.
In 1925, Stage Manager Dan Blanco took a chance on hiring the volatile Evelyn Nesbit as the star attraction at Bill Rothstein's Moulin Rouge Café.
Newspaper advertisements warned that this engagement was "Positively Miss Nesbit's Last Public Appearance," which was far from the truth but may have attracted crowds. It was quickly apparent that Bill Rothstein had a sensational hit on his hands.
In her cabaret act, Evelyn wore striking black and white gowns. She no longer danced professionally (as she had in vaudeville). Instead, songs filled her act. The cabaret pace was perfect for a middle-aged mother.
During her appearance at the Moulin Rouge, Dan Blanco and Evelyn Nesbit would cement a long-lasting relationship and, within a few years, she would grace the stage at his new establishment, Rush Street's Club Alabam.
Evelyn Nesbit's Chicago Comeback
Winston-Salem Journal (31 May 1925)
Before the founding of Club Alabam, Evelyn Nesbit worked with Dan Blanco at Bill Rothstein's Moulin Rouge Café, located at 416 South Wabash Ave. in Chicago's Loop.
In 1925, after trying review-style shows at his café, Rothstein hired Blanco to create a cabaret-type show, with star bookings. In May, the announcement of Evelyn Nesbit's forthcoming appearance at the Moulin Rouge became national news.
At forty, Evelyn maintained her youthful beauty. Her famous Gibson Girl curls had long been bobbed, adding to her pert appearance. Chicago stood ready to welcome her with open arms.
Gene Harris' Club Alabam
October 9, 2019 October 9, 2019 Joanne Yeck
By the mid-1930s, Gene Harris was the sole proprietor of Chicago's Club Alabam and his effervescent personality defined the popular nightspot. His wit and charm drew a relaxed, fun-loving crowd. His snappy advertisements in local papers attracted the outgoing patrons he enjoyed.
In 1939, ad headlines like "Maybe We're Crazy . . ." sold a lot of Flaming Crater Dinners at the reasonable price of $1.50. Four shows nightly kept customers flowing into Harris' club until the wee hours of the morning. Solid talent like Lil Bernard and Flo Henrie worked Club Alabam for years.


We used a 3.0mm Idro-Perwanger leather upper for classic mountain boot performance and fit.
This is a full steel shank boot that will accept an automatic crampon and kick steps in snow all day without a crampon if needed.
The protective Vibram rubber rand adds excellent toe protection and the EZ rollerball hardware makes these boots easy to lace up.
IDEAL TERRAIN: General mountaineering and heavy backpacking.

Brechin – An Ideal Vacation Destination
Brechin is a town that has been around for a long time and is full of interesting historical occurrences that have been recorded over the centuries.
Brechin has its own football club called the Brechin City Football Club, which has been around since 1906, making it over one hundred years old. Once you have enjoyed a visit to the football club take a trip over to the Bolag Bar found in the center of Brechin. It was opened in the 1900's as a public drinking bar but the building it is housed in has been around since the 16th century. Not far from the Bolag Bar you will find the Old Cross, a place where fairs took place but is also where proclamations were read and prisoners were punished for crimes they had committed. Today the Old Cross is still used for festivities, each year New Years Eve and Hogmanay is celebrated.
In the 1400's Brechin was hit with the Black Death and later in 1648 it was hit with the disease again that killed almost two thirds of the entire population. Bubonic plague was the result of people being so impoverished that they turned to eating from the refuse people had thrown away. Not only was this unsanitary but the eating of decomposing food and meat and dirty water lead to one of the most devastating pestilence's to hit this town. People would begin to experience delirium, fever, lumps called buboes that easily spread to others through human contact and fluids.
In the nineteenth century Brechin was known for its textile industry, which included four mills of which three had power looms. Brewing and distilling was also a major operation contributing greatly to the economy but today it has fallen away. The Edzell Castle is an excellent example of some of the history that Brechin has experienced over the ages having been around since before the 1700's. Brechin is full of historical buildings all with a tale to tell. The old Toll Booth or as it is now known the town house was first built in 1537 but was later renovated in 1789 to the building you see today. The old Toll Booth was used as a jail but today it's used for exhibitions, dances and men's debating societies and for many other events.
While visiting Brechin stop off and visit the Caledonian Railway station that was built in 1895 and is still around today to be admired and to provide trips to the Bridge of Dun. The Cathedral is another sight worth a visit, located in the center of the town. Nearly every piece of glass in the Cathedral has been beautifully stained with various religious images to see. All the stained glass dates back only to the beginning of the twentieth century having been designed by designers like the William Morris factory. If you have an interest in Victorian architecture then head on over to St. Ninian's Square where you will see excellent examples, including a fine library.
back to Angus and Dundee
Most people think of Scotland as the greenest, and also the wettest place on earth. Yes, it is the rain that makes the grass green and the beautiful heather grow. Scotland is not the destination with the best weather, but it has its wetter and drier regions. So if you're taking the weather into consideration as to when you are planning your trip, don't! In the ideal world, the perfect ...
St. Andrew's Aquarium
A mysterious world with its unfathomable depths, marveled at and the subject of intense research, the sea remains less understood by man than outer space is. We are continually awed by the magnitude and might of this secretive aquarium but beneath in the remotest of corners to the open shallows lies a world beyond our comprehension. A little piece of this mystical world is on display at ...

Neuman was prescient: since 1988 the debates have become soft-ball pabulum. Controlled by the two parties, the Commission excludes third-party candidates from participating. In 2012 the Commission even had Green Party presidential candidate tied to a chair for eight hours for the crime of trying to participate in democracy. The LWV wasn't perfect but it was independent.
Seventh: abolish the Electoral College.
Eighth: make it easier for third parties to run by loosening ballot-access rules. Reduce the number of signatures required to get on the ballot. Get rid of laws requiring that you get certain percent of the vote. More choices means more options means greater likelihood that you agree with someone who's on the ballot.

Two Kashmiri students picked up by uniformed men in Chandigarh
Representational Image
Srinagar: Two Kashmiri students have allegedly been picked up by security agencies outside their rented apartment in Chandigarh.
The students of Aryans group of colleges Nethra, Alampur told news gathering agency Global News Service that two of their classmates, Gazi Ahmad Malik of Heff village of Shopian and Mir Imran of Guder village of Pulwama were rounded up by uniformed men when they were returning to their apartment in Banur from the marketplace on Sunday evening.
The duo was picked up when another group of uniformed men were searching their apartment and grilling other Kashmiri students staying with them, the students said.
"Last night, we were sitting in our apartment when we heard a knock at the door. As soon as I opened the door, a posse of uniformed men came in charging," a classmate of the duo told GNS.
He said that the uniformed men confiscated their cell phones, carried out searches and prevented them from venturing out of the apartment. The raid, the students said continued for over an hour.
"We are over 200 hundred students from different parts of the Valley. We were harassed beyond the limit," he said.
The student further said that Gazi had also received a call from Kashmir police hours before he was picked up outside the apartment.
Meanwhile, the students have filed a report with local police station Banur in Patiala.
SHO Banur, Surenderpal Singh told GNS that he has received a "missing report" about the two Kashmiri students. However, Singh said that no Kashmiri student has been arrested by police.
"I am in touch with higher ups. We are investigating if the students have been picked up by central agencies," Singh said.

If you see Processing as the status in the Similarity column, your results are not ready for review. Please check back later. Do not re-submit, as this will start the processing period over, delaying your results availability.

Complete information on interpreting your Turnitin results is available directly from Turnitin.
Please note that your instructors may have varying standards as to what percentage of similarity is considered unacceptable. It is nearly impossible not to have some degree of repetition in academic writing - often wholly unintentional - simply by nature of the subject.
We encourage all students who use Turnitin to discuss expectations and standards with their instructors.

Q: Is there any dependency between Spring and Apache Tomcat Jar Following is the timeline of how i got error in my application

*

*Used Spring 2.5.3 and tomcat 7.0.27 - No Error

*Upgraded to Spring 3.1.1 with same tomcat (7.0.27) - No Error

*Upgraded tomcat to 7.0.42, used with Spring 3.1.1 - VerifyError

When i stop my application, i get 1000 verifyerrors (seperate error for every destroyBean) when i upgraded to tomcat 7.0.42.
Following is the Stack Trace:

Possible Cause:
    fixed EntityManagerFactoryUtils's "convertJpaAccessException" to always return rather than throw DataAccessExceptions
      This line is in ChangeLog of Spring 2.5.6
But my application works fine with Spring 3.1.1 and tomcat 7.0.27 but throws this error when upgraded to tomcat 7.0.42

A: AFAIK, Tomcat doesn't depend on Spring, and Spring doesn't depend on Tomcat.  Not in any version of either.
I suspect that in the intermediate version of your application after "upgrade to Spring 3.1.1 with same tomcat (7.0.27)", you either didn't trigger that code to be run.  Note that it is happening in code that is run when a webapp is shut.  If you never attempted a clean shutdown in the intermediate version of your application, that postProcessBeanBeforeDestruction method wouldn't be called on that bean, and the problem wouldn't arise.
My guess is that the real problem is caused by mixing versions of Spring JAR files.


What does 'breach of warranty' mean?
A breach of warranty happens when the manufacturer or seller of the product makes a promise, either expressly or impliedly, to the end user about the product but the promise is broken and leads to harm.
A warranty is a promise or guarantee by a manufacturer or seller that the product is of a certain quality or character.
An Express Warranty occurs when a seller makes a statement, either orally or in writing, which relates to the goods and becomes part of the basis of the deal with the consumer.
An Implied Warranty when a seller knows, or should know, that the product he is selling is used for a particular purpose and the consumer is relying on the seller's skill or judgment in selecting a product suitable for that purpose. Further, there is typically an Implied Warranty of Merchantibility, which means that the product will be fit for the purposes for which it is ordinarily used.
What does 'failure to warn mean'?
This happens when the product manufacturer fails to provide a warning to consumers about the dangers of a product that are not obvious or readily discoverable by the consumer or does not instruct them about how to use the product safely.
What is the North Carolina products liability statute of limitations?
The statute of limitations for products liability claims in North Carolina is 6 years. (NC Gen. Stat. § 1-50). For claims involving defective products, dangerous drugs, or a manufacturing defect in a product, injured parties must bring a civil lawsuit within 6 years of sustaining their injuries. If claims are not brought within their statute of limitations period they will be time barred by the court. If you need help deciding whether to pursue a products liability claim contact our firm today to discuss your case.
I'm worried about making a claim against DePuy, I don't want to sue my doctor.
You will not be making a claim against your doctor since they had no way to know that the DePuy ACR hip replacement device would be recalled. Your claim is against DePuy and we will fight for you against DePuy.
I received a recall letter from DePuy, whatshould I do now?
You should call our DePuy hip injury firm right away. The letters from DePuy are somewhat misleading. They invite you to provide a great deal of information to DePuy which might impact your claim later on. It is best to discuss your rights with a lawyer who is familiar with the DePuy recalls and litigation.
What does MDL mean and how is it related to the DePuy hip replacement recall?
MDL is short for multi-district litigation. This type of litigation is routine in the area of product recalls. When a product like the DePuy ACR hip is recalled, there are often thousands of plaintiffs. The judicial system allows for the plaintiffs to form a group, or class action, which will present the claims as a whole. This type of litigation saves plaintiffs a lot of time and money by consolidating all the individual cases. The MDL hears the cases as a whole and makes a decision that affects the entire class.
My DePuy hip was recalled, how will I pay for my revision and other medical expenses?
This question can only be answered when we have the facts surrounding your situation. If you have health insurance, you should use that to pay for the revision. When DePuy agrees to compensate your claim you will be compensated for the original surgery and the revision surgery, in addition to compensation for your pain and suffering. If you do not have health insurance, you might be able to have your revision procedure paid for by DePuy and still recover later.
Do I have a case if I was injured using a product I purchased and had to see a doctor stemming from the injury?
It depends on the circumstances in which your injury occurred and if a connection can be established between the product and your injury. Product defect cases are usually based on "strict liability" rather than negligence.
"Strict liability" means it is not necessary to determine fault on the part of the defendant, but your attorney must be able to prove the product was unreasonably dangerous or defective, you were injured from use of the defective product, and the injury was caused by the defect in the product.
One exception is if your circumstances are very similar to the circumstances in which other people are injured by the same product. This would allow you to file a "Class Action" lawsuit in which a lawyer could represent you and all other people who suffered injuries from a single defective product. For example, there are numerous lawsuits filed in connection with toxic Chinese drywall found throughout Carolina.
What are "defective products" and what does"product liability" mean?
A "defective product" is one that causes injury as a result of a flaw or deficiency in the product such as labeling, construction, or how the product was used. The manufacturer of the product that caused the injury, in addition to the individuals involved in the chain of commerce such as the provider, are liable for injuries caused by these defective products.
"Product liability" claims are cases dealing with injury or damage stemming from defective products that run from the obvious (i.e. a car sold with faulty air bags, a mislabeled product or drug that causes injury) to the innocuous (i.e. side effects from an improperly tested prescription drug).
