Miss Kate Daltry doesn't believe in fairy tales or happily ever after. Forced by her stepmother to attend a ball, Kate meets a prince and decides he's anything but charming. A clash of wits and wills ensues, but they both know their irresistible attraction will lead nowhere. For Gabriel is promised to another woman--a princess whose hand in marriage will fulfill his ruthless ambitions. Gabriel likes his fiancé, which is a welcome turn of events, but he doesn't love her. Obviously, he should be wooing his bride-to-be, not the witty, impoverished beauty who refuses to fawn over him. Godmothers and glass slippers notwithstanding, this is one fairy tale in which destiny conspires to destroy any chance that Kate and Gabriel might have a happily ever after --unless a prince throws away everything that makes him noble --unless a dowry of an unruly heart trumps a fortune --unless one kiss at the stroke of midnight changes everything.

Q: array push returns true or false instead of the objects pushed I have an array of products with different properties, including Product quantity. I need to push products where product quantity are less than 5 in a new array.
I have used filter and push functions in order to push the required elements in the new array.
products = array with the elements
lowStockProucts = new array
var lowStockProducts = [];

products
    .filter((el)=>{
        lowStockProducts.push(el.productQuantity < 5);
        return lowStockProducts
})

console.log(lowStockProducts);

Expected the new array to contain the objects with productQuantity less than five, instead, the output is "[ true, false, true, false, false ]".
The order is correct the first and third elements quantities are indeed less than 5 but this is not the expected output.

A: You push the value of the condition, but you need to take the result of the filtering by respecting the check.
var lowStockProducts = products.filter(el => el.productQuantity < 5);

A: .push(el.productQuantity < 5) will push a boolean. You need to return the boolean instead, for the .filter test to work properly:
const lowStockProducts = products.filter(el => el.productQuantity < 5);

A: Array.prototype.filter() returns following-

A new array with the elements that pass the test. If no elements pass
  the test, an empty array will be returned.

You don't need a new separate array to store the result.I have demonstrated ,what you are expecting to do.

lowStockProucts = new Array()
let products = [{
  "productQuantity": 2,
  "name": "A"
}, {
  "productQuantity": 21,
  "name": "Ac"
}]

var lowStockProducts = products
  .filter((el) => {

    return el.productQuantity < 5 // use condition like this
  })

console.log(lowStockProducts);

A New Age of Gay Genomics Is Here. Are We Ready for the Consequences?
The scientists are presenting their findings with an abundance of caution. But that won't necessarily prevent anti-queer abuse.

Podcast Episode The War on Drag
The notion of a "gay gene"—a genetic basis for same-sex attraction—has preoccupied scientists, gay civilians, and folks who'd rather queers didn't exist for decades. The discovery of such a mechanism would have profound implications, as I've explored previously for Slate: On the one hand, we'd know more about how human sexual diversity has evolved over our history as a species. On the other, the same knowledge could be weaponized in embryonic screening by bigots seeking to prevent future queers from being born. Until recently, all of this was largely theoretical. But today, we took an important step toward real-world gay genomics: The results of the largest-ever project designed to harness modern genome sequencing to understand the origins of human sexual orientation have been published, and it's a remarkable document—illuminating, admirable, and troubling in turn.
The paper, published in the journal Science by an international team led by the Broad Institute's Andrea Ganna, reports analysis of genetic data and self-reported sexual behaviors from about a half-million participants in the U.K. Biobank and customers of the personal genetics company 23andMe. Purely in terms of a search for "gay genes," it is kind of a flop, though it does shed new light on the biology and evolution of human sexual diversity (more on that shortly). Of equal, if not deeper, interest, however, is how Ganna and his co-authors handle and present scientific work that may have far-reaching impacts on a marginalized community. The authors consulted with queer advocacy groups in presenting their results, and it really shows. The paper has a prominent sidebar devoted to clarifying that its focus is same-sex sexual behavior rather than queer identity, and explains other methodological and terminology choices. It also makes a point to say that the term "nonheterosexual" is not meant to be pejorative, which would honestly never have occurred to me. Yet for all this care, I'm not at all sure they've resolved the risks inherent in this line of research.
To their credit, the authors are open about the myriad challenges of the project. Same-sex sexual behavior is difficult to measure, because in a disapproving social context, people may never act on same-sex attraction, or may not disclose same-sex experiences to researchers. The first figure of the paper demonstrates this: Older participants were substantially less likely to report same-sex activity than younger ones. The authors address this issue, to some degree, by looking first for genes associated with whether participants reported any same-sex experience; then, using only data from those who reported at least one same-sex experience, looking for genes associated with having a greater or lesser proportion of same-sex partners. They also analyze men and women as separate cohorts—just including women in the study, much less treating their sexual orientation as a co-equal focus of the project, is an improvement over some prior studies.
The primary result of all this is perhaps underwhelming, at least if you were hoping for microscope images of a rainbow-colored segment of DNA. As big as it is, the data set isn't enough to pinpoint individual bits of genetic code, or loci, that explain a substantial fraction of variation in the sexual histories of study participants. This is a long-established problem in genetics. Even if a trait has a genetic basis—as seen in earlier studies of sexual orientation across family trees or in pairs of twins—when that trait is affected by many loci, the contribution of any one locus can be too small to detect. In this case, only five loci had effects big enough to identify confidently: two associated with same-sex behavior in men; one in women; and two more showing associations in both men and women.
Even these loci have very, very small effects. At the locus with the strongest association to same-sex behavior, a man carrying what we might call the "gay variant" has a 10 percent greater chance of having had sex with other men. If the baseline probability of this is about 4 percent (the frequency of gay men in the U.S. population), that means that out of 1,000 random guys on the street who carry that variant, 44 have actually had sex with other men. For comparison, something like 154 out of 1,000 men living in San Francisco identify as gay or bisexual—which means simply knowing a guy who lives in that ZIP code is as much as three times more indicative that he might be gay than knowing he carries the right variant at this one locus.
This result is consistent with the history of failure to find genes that are robustly associated with sexual orientation; if orientation were determined by a few loci with strong effects, they'd probably have showed up in earlier, smaller studies. It's also consistent with the most pedestrian hypothesis for the evolutionary persistence of people who are disinclined to have the kind of sex that makes babies: Although natural selection should act against genetic variants that contribute to same-sex attraction, the contributing variants have such small effects that selection against any one of them is correspondingly weak. Variants that could contribute to same-sex attraction stick around because they're carried in smaller-than-critical numbers by many folks who are mostly or exclusively attracted to the opposite sex. Queerness happens by a kind of rare and fortuitous genetic convergence, when enough of the right variants come together in a single person.
Queerness happens by a fortuitous genetic convergence, when enough of the right variants come together in a single person.
The failure to find strongly predictive loci also neatly evades the most worrying prospect of this research: that its results could be applied in a genetic test for sexual orientation. Such a test could, in principle, be used to screen embryos or as evidence against adults accused of homosexual activity in a country where it's illegal. Ganna et al. address that concern head-on by piloting a genetic test right in the paper. Pairing their results with genetic data from several earlier, smaller studies that collected sexual behavior data, they calculated "polygenic scores" for the participants in those prior studies—essentially, composite genetic estimates of how likely those people were to have had same-sex sexual experiences. Those polygenic scores were found to be correlated with the sexual behavior reported by participants in the prior studies, but there's so much statistical scatter around that correlation that the scores "do not allow meaningful prediction of an individual's sexual behavior," as the authors say in the paper's abstract. It is, I think, the first time I've seen a genetic study highlight a lack of predictive power as a primary result.
Ultimately, this paper represents to my mind the best possible way that a modern study of the genetics underlying sexual orientation could have turned out. It was informed by the community most affected by its results, designed to account for at least some of the complexity of sexual orientation (that identity vs. behavior distinction), and proved unable to produce the basis for a reliable genetic test of sexual orientation. That said, the hazards of this line of research aren't really mitigated by ethical research practices, in the conventional sense. Those hazards lie not just in how the work is conducted and presented, but in how society receives it.
As much the authors have done to try to head off misuse, it's now beyond their control.
There is, as of now, not much regulation of how genetic data is used once it's published. Anyone who pays for a personal genomic read from 23andMe can look up whether it registers variants associated with same-sex behavior in the new analysis, regardless of the actual predictive value of those variants. Lack of demonstrated predictive power hasn't prevented the emergence of startups offering to tailor diet advice to your genetic profile, and even proposing to screen embryos for future traits based on polygenic scoring methods.
And there's an established cottage industry of quackery purporting to "cure" queer people—though campaigns to restrict and ban such conversion therapy are making progress, there are plenty of U.S. states and jurisdictions across the world where it's not meaningfully regulated. Will we see conversion therapists drawing on results from this paper, maybe trying to preempt homosexuality in children too young to even articulate a sexual orientation? As much as Ganna and his coauthors have done to try to head off this kind of misuse, it's now beyond their control.
There's also very little to prevent follow-up research by less cautious geneticists. For the foreseeable future, it will only get easier to collect larger data sets than Ganna et al. were able to assemble—and bigger data sets will be able to resolve loci with smaller individual effects. That could get us closer to an effective genetic test for orientation, or reveal enough of the underlying biology to suggest pharmaceutical treatments to change same-sex attraction. Scientists, as a group, don't like to leave research questions unanswered.
I've been gratified that my previous writing about the concerns raised by genetic studies of sexual orientation has seen a generally supportive reception from other biologists. (At least, the ones who've talked to me about it.) To the extent that anyone's raised a counterpoint, it's more or less this: How can we reasonably foreclose a line of research, even if its possible outcomes are dangerous? In response, I'd actually say that I don't expect us to. My feeling, in that earlier essay, was not so much that this scientific work could be stopped, but that it's coming to fruition whether we're prepared for it or not, and before society is ready to receive it in a way that doesn't put queer folks at risk. I wish I could read this new study purely as an answer to my own curiosity about the biology and evolution of my queer identity. I hope, in the end, that's all it turns out to be. But, reading the new paper, I know I'm not the only one with these worries—it looks like, on some level, the people actually doing the research are worried, too.

Ed says U said : Eating Disorder Translator
When an eating disorder (ED) is involved, the problems caused by miscommunication can have serious consequences. A remark from a parent that is intended as positive encouragement could act as a trigger and a criticism from someone with an ED might really be a cry for help.
This book aims to improve communication between someone with an eating disorder and their friends and family by revealing the eating disorder mind set and decoding language choices. Using examples of real-life, everyday conversations, ED says U said translates the highly charged language of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder and unravels the emotional chaos that can surround sufferers and those who care for them. It provides clear examples of the common pitfalls and gives invaluable advice about how to help in defusing the triggers and regaining the personality swamped by the illness.

The perpetrators of the explosion near a Central Security Forces headquarters in Ismailia "will be soon be apprehended", Minister of Interior Mohamed Ibrahim said during his visit there on Friday.
The explosion near the gate of the headquarters of the Central Security Services killed one conscript and injured three policemen, 13 conscripts and six citizens, according to the Ministry of Interior.
Ibrahim added that this attack is a reaction to the ministry's recent successes in arresting terrorists and exposing their plans. He also explained that these "treacherous" attacks mark "the end of terrorism in Egypt".
The minister ordered the formation of a team led by the security director of Ismailia to arrest the perpetrators.
Later on Friday, Ibrahim visited the injured at the Maadi Military Hospital in Cairo.
Prime Minister Hazem El-Beblawi condemned the attack, saying that "the forces of terrorism are trying to obstruct the current political process" in a statement issued on Thursday night.
"These terrorist attacks will not fulfill their odious aims; we are going on steadily to fulfill the roadmap," El-Beblawi added.
The prime minister said the Egyptian people trust the police and the army to "eradicate terrorism".
Al-Azhar Grand Imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb also condemned the attack, describing it as a "brutal act of terrorism" in a Friday statement.
"Islam is innocent from these deeds which target the honourable Egyptian people who protect the security of the nation," Al-Tayeb added.
The attack was the largest in Ismailia since 19 October when a car bomb exploded near the Military Intelligence building, causing six injuries.
Sinai-based jihadist group Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis has claimed responsibility for the attack on 21 October.

Bruce Power reaches milestone signalling next phase of Unit 6 Major Component Replacement
Bruce Power's Unit 6 Major Component Replacement (MCR) Project reached a much-anticipated milestone Oct. 1 and the company is now embarking on the next stage of the nuclear reactor's refurbishment.
Workers have completed the preparations to begin the major component replacement with the successful installation of protective shielding and 16 bulkheads, weighing over seven tons each, to isolate Unit 6 from the operating units.
"Reaching this milestone on plan under difficult conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic marks a pivotal moment in MCR," said Eric Chassard, Bruce Power's Executive Vice-President, Projects & Engineering.
With this work now complete, Shoreline, a joint venture comprised of Aecon, SNC-Lavalin and AECOM, will begin the Fuel Channel Feeder Replacement program, a key element of MCR that involves the removal and replacement of the major components: pressure tubes, calandria tubes, and feeders inside the reactor. The first group of trade workers from Shoreline was deployed into the Unit 6 reactor vault last week to execute work that had been moved up in the schedule.
Approximately 400 tradespeople have been hired by Shoreline over the past two months, while ATS Automation has delivered the robotic tooling, which will be used to replace components, to the MCR Training Facility in Kincardine, where workers have been preparing and training.
"After months of preparation, Shoreline is primed to successfully execute the next phase of this important project and Shoreline looks forward to continued success as we work with Bruce Power to deliver this vital project," said Thomas Clochard, Senior Vice President and Executive Lead, Nuclear, Aecon, on behalf of Shoreline Power Group.
Patrick Dillon, Business Manager and Secretary Treasurer of the Provincial Building and Construction Trades Council of Ontario, commended Bruce Power on reaching this milestone, particularly in light of COVID-19 challenges, adding that the Life-Extension Program, which includes replacement of major components on six of the Bruce site's eight nuclear reactors, is the kind of commitment and investment that helps train Ontario's skilled trades workforce.
"This project will result in an annual injection of $4 billion into Ontario's economy while creating an additional 5,000 jobs across the province each year and allows Bruce Power to continue to provide clean, low-cost, reliable power and life-saving medical isotopes while strengthening local communities. Our skilled tradespeople participating in this project are ready for the next stage in the journey ahead, and look forward to delivering the project and securing our future."
The Unit 6 MCR began in January before being put on hold during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project resumed in late spring with strict precautionary measures being instituted to keep workers and contractors safe. Bruce Power has expanded its safety protocols around the public health crisis, recently putting into place testing and screening of select company and supplemental staff, and contractors.
"Thanks to the combined efforts of our workers and the workers from our supply chain partners, our Unit 6 MCR has reached this important milestone on-time and on-budget," said
Chassard. "With this critical milestone achieved, Shoreline is now taking over the vault in great conditions to deliver its scope and we look forward to the successful execution of this work, which will allow us to continue providing people and businesses across Ontario with reliable, low-cost, clean electricity for decades to come."
About Shoreline Power Group
Shoreline Power Group is a joint venture between Aecon, SNC-Lavalin and AECOM, headquartered in Kincardine, Ontario, executing the Unit 6 Fuel Channel and Feeder Replacement (FCFR) at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station. Shoreline also signed a Preferred Supplier Agreement with Bruce Power under which similar contracts could be awarded for the subsequent five units.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady can wait.
Rather than peeking too far ahead at the Buffalo Bills' daunting closing stretch, coach Doug Marrone is focused solely on his team's most immediate concern: Peyton Manning and the Broncos.
Having won two straight, the Bills (7-5) are in the thick of a tightly contested AFC playoff picture and enter December with a winning record for the first time since they were 7-5 in 2000.
On the downside, they will be hard-pressed to stay in the mix with a schedule that features three 9-3 division leaders — the Broncos, on Sunday, Green Bay on Dec. 14 and a season-ender at New England — and rounded out with a game at Oakland (1-11) on Dec. 21.
Bring them on, defensive tackle Kyle Williams said.
"If it's daunting and you're worried or you're scared about it, I don't want to play with you," Williams said.
The defense's readiness shouldn't be a concern. It's producing at an elite level in leading the NFL with 48 sacks and ranking in the top 10 in nearly every statistical category.
It's the offense's lack of consistency that continues to be a worry, raising questions about how quarterback Kyle Orton and Co. might be able to keep pace with some of the NFL's most potent offenses.
"I think we need our offense to be consistent to match up against anybody, really," Marrone said.
After averaging 331 yards through its first nine games, Buffalo has managed just 287 yards in its past three.
The Bills are having difficulty gaining first downs, having topped 20 in a game just three times this year. Their red-zone production has been an issue all season.
After scoring just one touchdown on five red-zone opportunities against the Browns, the Bills have managed just 18 TDs on 44 drives inside an opponent's 20.
And Buffalo's one-time strength of a running attack is producing at a pedestrian pace in averaging just 98 yards rushing.
The troubles were particularly evident against Cleveland. After being shut out in the first half, the offense scored one touchdown and four field goals.

Mliswa, Comic Pastor chide DJ Fantan over Winky D criticism
12th January 2023 News Headlines, Showbiz, Arts & Culture
Independent Norton MP, Temba Mliswa, and Prosper Ngomashi – better known as Comic Pastor – have poured scorn on Dj Fantan for his remarks over Winky D's Eureka Eureka.
Fantan, real name Arnold Kamudyariwa, laid into Winky D while accusing him of exploiting young artists that feature on the Eureka Eureka album.
The producer's sentiments drew fire on social media, prompting him to turn off his comment section on Facebook.
Outspoken Norton MP bemoaned the attacks by Fantan on saying people who raise mutually beneficial issues in society should be celebrated.
"I hear Fantan is hurting because the project Eureka Eureka did not feature any track from Chillspot?" queried Mliswa.
"On a serious note, it's sad to see young people being used to fight other young people who raise mutually beneficial issues in society," he added.
Comic Pastor, on the other hand, did not shy from taking a swipe at the music producer, saying that Fantan should look for a job.
"The Dj should look for a job," said Comic Pastor.
Fantan had earlier on castigated Winky D, saying the gaffer had inherently tarnished the images of young artists featured on the album.
"I have been ignoring calls to comment about Winky D's album. Yes I was excited to hear about the project. I was happy to see other artists featuring for once on his projects," Fantan said.
"This time he included other artists, which was a dream come true for all of us. People wanted to see the music baton being passed from one generation to another and to see two generations combining.
"But as an elder in the music industry, when you do certain projects you must enlighten the youths you engage that you are being funded and you are recording a political album so that they make informed decisions on whether to feature or not," claimed Fantan.
According to Fantan, the artists who featured on Eureka Eureka are lamenting over loss of corporate opportunities due to the nature of the project they helped to bring to life.
"As someone who groomed some of the youths on that album, I am pained to see them cry foul behind the scenes, saying they were thrown under the bus by Winky D.
"They are saying right now Winky D is in Dubai for holidays with his family whilst back home companies no longer want to associate with them because they do not want their brands associated with politics of any nature," said the Chillspot boss.
"As elders, it's our job to groom the budding talent. It's cruelty as an elder to manipulate and abuse the trust bestowed upon you by the youth for personal gains."

The Worst Movies Of 2022
Jason Bancroft
Updated September 23, 2022 551 votes 153 voters
The worst movies of 2022 are more than just disappointing, they fail to deliver on even the most basic promise of being entertaining. Liam Neeson stars in yet another lackluster action-thriller that makes fans yearn for the simpler days of Taken. Bella Thorne takes on a lead role as a drug dealer to help solve the mysterious death of a former customer alongside his mother in Measure of Revenge. Let's also not forget The King's Daughter, starring Pierce Brosnan which saw significant delays until it was decided that no amount of work in post could make it better. But just because critics and some audiences panned these films doesn't mean there aren't some hidden gems.
Help out your other cinephiles by voting up the movies you thought were the worst from 2022 and vote down the films that you think deserve a second chance. Then check back throughout the year as bad 2022 movies are added to the list throughout the year once they're released.

Mediation is an alternative process to trying to resolve a conflict in court and incurring burdensome legal expenses or appealing directly to the USDA. Participants in the mediation process create their own solution. The mediator does not arbitrate the settlement. Flexibility in considering a full range of realistic options is encouraged in the solution process. The fact that disputing parties are meeting together in the same room for the purpose of working out a solution to the particular matter(s) enables everyone to deal openly and knowledgeably with the full array of issues. All steps are taken to ensure confidentiality.
An organization or individual with a dispute concerning agricultural production may request mediation by contacting CMCRI through the form below or by calling our office at (401) 273-9999.
CMCRI staff will confirm that the other party is willing to participate in mediation. A brief description of the situation is gathered by the Mediation Coordinator to prepare a briefing report for the mediator.
Two mediators are assigned by the Mediation Coordinator, because we trust in the concept of co-mediation.
All involved parties are notified as to the date, time, and neutral location of the mediation session.
Most mediation sessions will be concluded within two hours unless everyone agrees that more time is needed to resolve the disputed issues.
If a final agreement cannot be reached, the parties will not be worse off than if they had not tried mediation, with the difference that everyone involved will have a better understanding of the various perspectives, will have explored several options, and have a fuller grasp of the situation. All parties will retain their full set of options to seek a solution through legal or other means. At no time should the mediation process be considered a delaying tactic.
List parties and/or USDA agency with whom you wish to mediate.
We will contact them to provide information about the process.

Roman Glass Jewelry – Wear History Art and Color in Your Jewelery Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets
Roman Glass is an ancient glass, discovered in archaeological excavation sites in Israel and in other Mediterranean countries.The fine Sterling Silver Roman Glass Jewelry is one of the most popular types and styles originated from Israel enabling to wear an entirely unique piece of 2,000-year-old history. The glass in this aqua-hued jewelry began life as a vase, jug, or vessel. Uncovered from ancient Roman archaeological team bonding Singapore sites in modern-day Israel, each fragment has been textured and colored by centuries of wind and weather. Each bear the marks of not only its past life as a household or temple object but also the very earth in which it rested until being transformed into a unique accent. Each piece of Roman glass is framed by a sterling silver bezel.
The designs for the jewels are based on artifacts and drawings also discovered on the archeological digs. The Roman Glass is a beautiful piece of history dating back 2,000 years to the time of the Roman Empire. The Roman Glass used for jewelry today in Israel is found in archeological digs throughout the land of Israel. The natural phenomenon which the glass has undergone over the many years it has been buried have given it the unique and beautiful aqua shades we enjoy today.Initially, in the Roman empire, glass was mainly used for vessels and available only for the wealthy. At that time, glass was manufactured by core forming, casting, cutting and grinding. However, since the invention of the glass blowing, glass was available to the public in vast numbers, mass produced in a large variety of shapes and forms. Due to the great popularity of glass during those ancient times, we today are privileged to make use of these gorgeous historical pieces with which we enhance the beauty of our jewelry. Ancient Israel, due to its large stretches of sandy dunes and beaches, was one of the largest glass producers of the Roman Empire. These same sands helped preserve the glass through the centuries, shaping and tempering it into the jewelry-quality pieces being excavated today. Today the fragments of the 2000 years old Roman Glass that were once part of the lip of a goblet, jar, or other vessel are used in Israel to create beautiful jewelry that mixes the typical blue and green old glass excavated from archaeological digs with silver or gold creating a piece of art and history to wear with love.
A certificate of authenticity is available for the Roman Glass jewelry.
It is interesting to know some facts about the glass history and the Roman Glass history, collected from several sources.
Glass is formed when sand (silica), soda (alkali), and lime are fused at high temperatures. The color of the glass can be altered by adjusting the atmosphere in the furnace and by adding specific metal oxides to the glass "batch" (such as cobalt for dark blue, tin for opaque white, antimony and manganese for colorless glass). A venerable legend perpetuated as late as the seventh century A.D. in the writings of Isidore of Seville gives a suitable miraculous explanation for the discovery of this elemental–yet truly wondrous–material – This was its origin: in a part of Syria which is called Phoenicia, there is a swamp close to Judaea, around the base of Mt. Carmel, from which the Bellus River arises . . . whose sands are purified from contamination by the torrent's flow. The story is that here a ship of natron [sodium carbonate] merchants had been shipwrecked; when they were scattered about on the shore preparing food and no stones were at hand for propping up their pots, they brought lumps of natron from the ship. The sand of the shore became mixed with the burning natron and translucent streams of a new liquid flowed forth: and this was the origin of glass.(Isidore of Seville, Etymologies XVI.16. Translation by Charles Witke.) It is not surprising that the ancient authorities thought of Phoenicia as the birthplace of glass, for the Syro-Palestine region did indeed become a major center of glass production in antiquity, along with Egypt. However, glass seems actually to have been "discovered" not in Phoenicia, but in Mesopotamia. Archaeological research now places the first evidence of true glass there at around 2500 B.C. At first it was used for beads, seals, and architectural decoration.
Some 1,000 years elapsed before glass vessels are known to have been produced. Vessels of glass quickly became widespread in the second half of the second millennium B.C. They were popular not only in Mesopotamia but also in Egypt and the Aegean. The earliest vessels were core-formed. Opaque, dark glass in its molten state was wound around a clay core attached to a metal rod. The skin of hot glass was fashioned with tools in order to shape its external features. Lighter colored strands of hot glass were then trailed on the surface and often "dragged" to produce festoon patterns. The pot surface was marvered (that is, rolled on a smooth, flat surface to produce a level finish). Finally, it was cooled slowly before the clay core was scraped out of the hardened vessel. This glassware typically imitated forms originally established for ceramic, metal, and stone vessels . Somewhat later, the molding technique was developed, whereby glass chips or molten glass were packed or forced into a mold and then fused. After a molded vessel was annealed (cooled slowly in a special chamber of the glass furnace), it was often ground and polished in order to refine the rim and any other rough edges. One typical shape for molded vessels of the late Hellenistic and early Roman periods (c. 150 -50 B.C.) was the so-called pillar-molded bowl. Here exterior ribs radiate up from the base, stopping abruptly near the rim to allow a smooth margin around the circumference. This type is ubiquitous; and it attests to the free and rapid exchange of ideas in glass-making throughout the Greater Mediterranean sphere. The site of Tel Anafa in Israel is a small settlement in the Upper Galilee. During ten seasons of fieldwork between 1968 and 1986, Saul Weinberg and his successor Sharon Herbert oversaw the uncovering of part of a small settlement of the Hellenistic and early Roman periods.
In Tel Anafa I, Herbert presents the architecture and the stratigraphic sequence (text and some illustrations in fasc. i, locus summary and plates to Chs. 1 and 2 in fasc. ii). The volume also includes studies by other scholars of the geological setting of the site, the stamped amphora handles, coins, vertebrate fauna, and a single Tyrian sealing. Tel Anafa II, i is devoted to the Hellenistic and Roman pottery. A future volume (II, ii) will complete the series with publication of the pre-Hellenistic and Islamic pottery, lamps, glass, metalware, stucco, stone tools, and the palaeobotanical remains. Tel Anafa (recently excavated jointly by the Universities of Michigan and Missouri) has provided critical information on the chronological limits of these bowls within the Roman period. Glass vessels were initially available only to the very wealthy and only in rather diminutive sizes. They were manufactured by core forming, casting, cutting and grinding. The invention of glass blowing around 50 BC brought glass vessels to the general public in vast numbers, mass produced in great variety of forms and hence brought ancient glass into the reach of the modern collector of even modest means. One can nowadays own a Roman glass bowl, or drink from a Roman glass beaker, or wear ancient jewellery where glass was used widely. In 63 BC, the Romans conquered the Syro-Palestine area. They brought back with them glassmakers to Rome.Soon after, the first transparent glass sheets were produced in Rome. The word vitrum, meaning glass, entered the Latin language.Rome's political, military, and economic dominanace in the Mediterranean world was a major factor in attracting skilled craftsmen to set up workshops in the city, but equally important was the fact that the establishment of the Roman industry roughly coincided with the invention of glassblowing. The new technique led craftsmen to create novel and unique shapes; examples exist of flasks and bottles shaped like foot sandals, wine barrels, fruits, and even helmets and animals. Some combined blowing with glass-casting and pottery-molding technologies to create the so-called mold-blowing process. Further innovations and stylistic changes saw the continued use of casting and free-blowing to create a variety of open and closed forms that could then be engraved or facet-cut in any number of patterns and designs.
Core-formed and cast glass vessels were first produced in Egypt and Mesopotamia as early as the fifteenth century B.C., but only began to be imported and, to a lesser extent, made on the Italian peninsula in the mid-first millennium B.C. By the time of the Roman Republic (509-27 B.C.), such vessels, used as tableware or as containers for expensive oils, perfumes, and medicines, were common in Etruria (modern Tuscany) and Magna Graecia (areas of southern Italy including modern Campania, Apulia, Calabria, and Sicily). However, there is very little evidence for similar glass objects in central Italian and Roman contexts until the mid-first century B.C. The reasons for this are unclear, but it suggests that the Roman glass industry sprang from almost nothing and developed to full maturity over a couple of generations during the first half of the first century A.D.

I have been married for seven years and four months now. In that span the only nights I have been away from my husband are when our boys were born. Of course during those instances JL was hardly gone for long and I had so many other things on my mind.
Fast forward to tomorrow morning when he leaves for a wedding of a friend. The boys and I will be without Daddy for the first time. I have put on a brave face up to this point to try to make it seem like a fun things for the boys. Special time with Mommy, Nana and Papa, but the truth is I am sitting here crying over it.
I know that is silly, but it is the truth. What is worse is I am still angry over this entire wedding fiasco. My emotions keep flip-flopping between sad and angry. Not exactly a great combination, especially to hide from your five year old and 17 month old.
A little history about the wedding. At the end of last December, all four of us were invited to week long wedding destination wedding, all expenses paid. Our family and friends immediately thought it was a wonderful idea for us to take JL's friend up on this opportunity and make it into a vacation. Before long things went down hill. When the flights were booked for us by the bride I lost it. They were horrid times for traveling with children. In addition to that, more of the week activities were announced and they were far from child friendly. Thankfully we were able to back out of taking the boys and little or no money was lost by JL's friends.
My anger stems from my husband simply deciding he would go to the wedding alone. Why? Do not get me wrong I know that JL's friendship means a lot to him. However, I also know the handful of times that he has seen his friend since we have been married. I also know that when I even suggested taking myself and the little guy to my cousin M's wedding in the spring it was shot down, no questions asked. I know I should move on, but it still bothers me that I was not at M's wedding and she is a very special part of my life, and family no less.
Ok, vent over. . . . see much better than therapy!
I can get past this, but my real fear is the boys. They are so attached to their Daddy. I worry that NHL will have behavior issues at school the rest of the week and that JSL will not sleep at night. Of course the boys could completely surprise me and be perfectly fine, that would not upset me at all.
JL please know that the boys and I love you so very much and will miss you lots.
When my husband when out of town, I was the one who couldn't adjust – the kids did fine – I couldn't sleep worth beans.
Nicely put. The first time my husband went on a golf vacation for a week with his buddies, I was a little pissed. But man I'll tell ya, I look SO forward to that every year now! LOL~!
This year, because of $$, he couldn't go, and I WAS disappointed! ha ha ha! See, that's what being married 20 yrs'll do to ya!
If the boys are anything like The Bean, they'll be completely fine. She has always surprized me when I've worried about how she'll react to something new. I hope all goes smoothly and that the time he is away just flies by!
I hope the time while JL is away goes by quickly for you and the boys. Keep yourself busy . . .although I'm sure the boys will take care of that for you! I'm here if you need anything . . .

Why do double data entry when you don't have to? With help from BNG's QuickBooks integrations, you can eliminate the double data entry dilemma. BNG offers two methods of QuickBooks integration with the BNG Payment Gateway, an advanced automatic integration and basic manual method.
QuickBooks SyncPay Plugin provides support for payment processing from directly within QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier, and QuickBooks Enterprise (Version 2007+). It Also supports syncing transactions that are not directly run inside QuickBooks like transactions run in the virtual terminal, SwIPe Software, Mobile, Online Bill Pay, e-commerce, API ect.
*QuickBooks POS and QuickBooks Online are not supported with SyncPay, but we have a QuickBooks POS integration and we support QuickBooks Online integration with ConnectBooster.
We have basic alternative to using SyncPay. The BNG Payment Gateway has a simple built in solution for QuickBooks integration, and it allows the user to select a date range of settled transactions and create an exportable .IIF file. This base QuickBooks file of settled transactions can then be imported into QuickBooks.
Step 1: Click "QuickBooks" from the Main Menu under Trans Reports.
Step 3: Enter the Revenue and Deposit Accounts.
Step 4: Click "Export to QuickBooks" to save file.
Step 5: Open QuickBooks and import the saved file.
One of the most powerful features SyncPay has is that it can sync transactions that originate from multiple payment entry points. As long as the transaction is run through the BNG Gateway in an number of ways it can be synced. For example the average service based company may take payments over the phone and enter them into the virtual terminal, they may swipe cards in person on a USB card reader, and have clients pay invoices on their website via our Online Bill Pay solutions. All of these transactions can be synced with the SyncPay Plugin.
Sync transactions from virtual terminal, SwIPe Software, Mobile, Online Bill Pay, e-commerce, API ect.
BNG's Plugin allows merchants to pay invoices, generate sales receipts, process batch transactions, and view batch reports without ever leaving QuickBooks. Additionally, merchants can process multiple payments against open invoices at the touch of a button.

Camouflage is a huge trend this season, so much so that the pattern has become a "neutral." I've recently added a faded camo tee and camo jeans to my wardrobe, and now I'm wondering how I ever got by before. I particularly love the faded grayish-green camo jeans, because they're a bit more subtle. I'm so excited to pair these jeans with cute booties.
This top will be my go-to for the fall season. It doesn't get too chilly here in Florida, so these button-up waffle knits are light enough for layering but still quite cozy. Tying a front knot is a trend for this season, and it's super stylish. I love that I can tuck it in or tie a front knot. In these photos, I wore the ribbed button-up over my camo jeans and as a layering piece underneath my poncho cardigan.
Cardigans are fantastic layering pieces for the fall season. They're not quite as heavy or warm as a pullover sweater. Throw on a poncho cardigan to instantly dress up your look. I saw this poncho cardigan on Instagram and knew I needed it for my fall wardrobe. It appears to be sold out, but Loft has already restocked the cardigan multiple times, so keep an eye on the site just in case!
For a seamless tucked-in look, opt for a bodysuit. I love how classy a form-fitting bodysuit looks with high-waisted jeans. *Wish I'd remembered to wear a belt with this look!* This ribbed bodysuit is so comfortable and stretchy that I bought it in two fall colors, olive green and chestnut (linked below). Bodysuits are fantastic layering pieces, especially underneath chunky knits and sweaters.
I love a classic suede bootie! I've worn these TOMS wedge booties for years, because they're cute and uber comfortable. I'm not about heels (accident waiting to happen), but I can easily walk around town in these wedges. My pair are an older style, but I've linked to a comparable style as well as suede booties from other brands. My go-to everyday booties in London were the Blondo Loxx booties in black suede (linked below)… I did quite a bit of research and bought the Blondo Loxx because they're water-resistant suede and because I love the height of the heel.
I hope this inspires you in putting together your fall wardrobe! What are the fall pieces you can't live without?
Love the poncho sweater and waffle knit tee! Maybe my wardrobe will actually get an update with these items!!


Single-product oligopolies, without product differentiation, are examined under the assumption that any increase in production levels has additional cost to the firms. Therefore, the best response of each firm depends on the current output of the rest of the industry and on the previous output of the firm. Two dynamic models are introduced. In the first case, the firms form adaptive expectations on the output of the rest of the industry and select the best response output levels and, in the second case, it is assumed that they adjust their output levels adaptively. Conditions are derived in both cases for the asymptotic stability of the equilibrium. © Sharif University of Technology, February 2008.

Cupertino's 'Apple employee tax' put off for one year
June 21, 2018 /in Commercial Leasing, Commercial Real Estate, Economy, Financing, Investment, Leasing, Locations, Market Updates, News, Office, Reports, Silicon Valley, Technology /by admin
Cupertino elected officials have scrapped a controversial plan — for now — to impose an employee tax on Apple and other businesses in the city, saying they don't want to move forward in haste and will instead ask voters to weigh in during a special election in 2019.
Though the city council intended only to discuss the plan Tuesday night, after impassioned public comment during which several people spoke out against the proposal as either too vague or unfair to businesses, the council voted 3-1 to put off placing a measure on the November 2018 ballot. Vice Mayor Rod Sinks recused himself because his wife is an Apple employee.
Councilman Barry Chang dissented, saying that waiting even another year would prolong the city's transportation problems. While the council had not yet come up with specific plans to use revenue generated by the so-called head tax, it had broadly earmarked transit and housing improvements.
"I think not only here, the big corporations in the entire nation, the corporations need to take up their fair share to help solve the problems we are facing now," Chang said. "So that's why this issue needs to be done and needs to be done now instead of waiting."
Chang said he proposed a more ambitious plan two years ago — which would have charged businesses $1,000 per employee — but that that proposal was shot down by other council members.
"Two years ago, no council member supported it, so nothing happened," he said. "Two years passed. If we don't do anything this time now, another two years will pass, nothing will happen, I guarantee you."
While Councilman Steven Scharf appeared to be in agreement with Chang about the urgency of addressing the region's transportation problems, he explained, "We can't do this justice in two weeks."
The council would have had to agree by July 3 on the details of the proposed tax in order to get it on the November ballot. Instead, the council now plans to discuss on July 3 whether it should propose a general or special tax on businesses to put before voters in 2019.

'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency' Will Get A Season 2 At BBC America
By Empress Eve | @ | Monday, November 28th, 2016 at 11:00 am
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, the new original scripted television series, has been given the green light for a Season 2 by BBC America, the network has announced.
Season 2 will get 10 episodes, which will premiere some time in 2017.
The show is based on the novels by Douglas Adams, and was adapted for television by Max Landis (Chronicle), who penned the 8-episode first season and served as executive producer along with showrunner Robert Cooper.
Season 1 introduced us to Dirk Gently (Samuel Barnett), in a story that took Adam's title detective from his native England to America, where he meets a downtrodden bellhop named Todd (Elijah Wood), who becomes his reluctant assistant. Dirk's method of saving cases is a "holistic" one, he says, where "everything is connected," but we learned as the season went on that he rarely gets anything right, yet things have a way of working on for him. Together, the two try to solve a complicated, convoluted murder case with many interlocking parts. There's lots of action, thrills, drama, and humor, and it's one of my favorite shows of the year!
Season 1 is still underway, with the final two episodes coming December 3rd and 10th. You can catch up on the first season through BBC America on Demand through your cable provider, or through bbcamerica.com or through the BBC America app.
Season 1 official synopsis:
When the bizarre murder of a millionaire thrusts loner Todd (Elijah Wood), into the orbit of Dirk Gently (Samuel Barnett), an eccentric detective who believes they're destined to solve the murder-mystery together, his life will never be the same. They'll cross unlikely paths with a bevy of wild and dangerous characters, each episode landing them a few random steps closer to uncovering the truth.

Underdog Angels Beat Yankees
Updated 04.25.17 12:24PM ET / Published 10.19.09 6:58PM ET

Though Monday night's game didn't start out well for the Angels, with the Yankees hammering out three home runs in the first half of Monday night's game, the underdogs from Los Angeles finally pulled out a win in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series. The Yankees started out strong, leading 3-0, but the Angels managed to hold them off after the fourth inning. The final score was 5-4, with all of the Yankees' four hits racked up from home runs. The game total of six home runs tied a previous American League Championship Series record. After two straight wins by the Yankees, the Angels renewed hope at the bottom of the 11th inning when Jeff Mathis hit a walk-off double off the Yankees' Alfredo Aceves. "These type of series, they change in a heartbeat," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia.

Window on Eurasia: Mironov Proposes Restoring Nationality Line in Russian Passports
Staunton, December 3 – Sergey Mironov, the leader of the Just Russia Party, today in the Duma called for the restoration of the nationality line in the Russian passport because "citizens of Russia must have the opportunity to indicate their nationality if they consider that to be necessary."
Doing away with line five of the passport which was often used to discriminate against Jews and other minorities in Soviet times was considered by many human rights activists as a major step forward in post-Soviet Russia. But some ethnic minorities who viewed it as a support for their identities and some Russian nationalists who want to proclaim their Russianness have long sought its return.
Mironov's suggestion that no one should be forced to declare his or her nationality but that anyone who wants to should be able to do so clearly would open the way to abuses by both ethnic Russians and minorities and is unlikely to be adopted however popular it may be in some quarters (nazaccent.ru/content/6111-mironov-vystupil-za-vozvrashenie-v-pasport.html and www.vestikavkaza.ru/news/Sergey-Mironov-Diaspory-otvetyat-za-svoikh.html).
In other comments to the Duma, the Just Russia leader repeated his call for the establishment of a ministry or state committee to oversee nationality policy and also "the adoption of a federal constitutional law about the state's nationality policy," one that would specify that "the [ethnic] Russian people is the state-forming people in the Russian Federation."
The Just Russia leader, who earlier called for the restoration of the nineteenth century tsarist slogan of "Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality," said today that such a declaration would "in no way" reduce the status of those in the Russian Federation who are not ethnic Russians.
At the same time, Mironov argued that non-Russian diasporas and communities in areas with an ethnic Russian majority should have a role in drafting legislation affecting them, should be held responsible for violations of the law by their members, and should be restricted by the state to certain "enclaves" rather than allowed to develop in ways that are "out of control."
Mironov continued by observing that the government's effort to attract "compatriots abroad" back to Russia was a complete failure, something Konstantin Romadonovsky, the head of the Federal Migration Service disputed and suggested that by next year, 50,000 such people will be coming back every year.
And he sharply criticized the proposal associated with Valery Tishkov of the Moscow Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology and included in the new strategy document the Duma was discussing to introduce the term "[non-ethnic] Russian nation." Such a term isn't needed, the party leader said, because the Constitution makes things perfectly clear.
In fact, as another Duma member made clear today, the Russian Constitution and legal system are anything but clear on that point. Gadzhimet Safaraliyev, head of the Duma nationality policy committee, said that the Russian legal system does not treat the ethnic Russians equally with other groups (nazaccent.ru/content/6114-gosduma-predlagaet-prisvoit-russkomu-yazyku-status.html).
According to the Daghestani representative, under the law, the languages of the peoples of the Russian Federation belong to one of three groups: "the Russian language as the state language of the Russian Federation, the state languages of the republics of the Russian Federation, and native languages."
Because of that classification, he argued, "the right of choice of the Russian language as a native one is not realized by citizens." Instead, there exists "the paradoxical situation: Russian for [ethnic] Russians is not considered to have the status of a native language." That should be changed both as a matter of justice and to boost the level of Russian language knowledge by all.
Safaraliyev also called for increasing the number of hours of instruction in the schools devoted to "the role of the Russian language and Russian literature in the history of the fatherland."
On another issue, the Duma committee chairman called for giving national-cultural autonomies the status of NGOs and allowing them to play a key role "in the integration and adaptation of immigrants." Their work should be supplemented, he said, by the creation of a mixed government and social monitoring system to track ethnic problems.
Despite his own ethnic background, Safaraliyev has long been associated with those Russians who oppose requiring ethnic Russians living in the republics to learn the local language. Indeed, that view has sparked protests and appeals in the republics of the Middle Volga and elsewhere in recent days.
But both his comments and those of Mironov are certain to antagonize more non-Russians across the country, who are certain to view them as a bellwether of Moscow's intentions and oppose them in discussions of the nationality strategy paper now taking place in the regions and republics even if many of the ideas the two promoted today are never carried out.
