You've got to take your hat off to Darren Shan. His horror/fantasy books for teens are getting boys to read books, even in this age of Xbox, Facebook and Lethal Bizzle. Lady of the Shades, however, is a crime story with a hint of the supernatural that's aimed at adults and although Shan has written a few grown-up books with a crime slant in the past, we've not taken any of them out for a test drive.
Like Shan himself, main character Ed Sieveking is a horror author. He's quiet, articulate, and a loner. Living in a London hotel, he befriends a fan called Joe. The bearded Geordie becomes his researcher and drinking buddy, and they start looking into the existence of ghosts and spontaneous human combustion as potential plot drivers for Ed's next book. Ed's a rational guy and no expert he interviews about ghosts can convince him that they exist. The trouble is, he can see six of them. They follow him around all the time.
As if that wasn't enough torment for the American, enter Deleena Emerson. He meets our slinky femme fatale at a party, held on a cruise down the Thames. As he falls for her this lady of mystery plays hard to get, will only see him at night, and avoids meeting Ed's only friend, Joe. Eventually, he discovers that her real name is Andeanna Menderes, wife of notorious London gangaster Mikis 'The Turk' Menderes. Years of physical abuse and emotional neglect have driven her into Ed's arms but if The Turk finds out, he's a dead man. Bond Gardner, The Turk's right hand man, has a habit of erasing potential problems for his boss, and Menderes has hired assassins in the past too. Nonetheless, Ed and Andeanna swear their love to one another.
However, Ed is followed around by ghosts for a reason. Blood has been spilt in his past, and lots of it. Soon Andeanna and Ed hatch a plan to eliminate The Turk for good. Andeanna has thought about it in the past but feared it would destroy Gregory, the son she had with Menderes. Now, she can see no other way to freedom and Ed seems more than keen to kill The Turk.
So far, so noir, but the book veers into the supernatural as Ed deals with his ghosts and they take on greater meaning in the story. He even sees a medium to reach out to someone on the other side. Assassins and gangsters come into play, Ed has to take on an alias and use his writerly research skills, and as the plot twists hither and thither men are murdered, bodies need to be disposed of, and tracks covered.
In one or two places it lags a little. Ed is struggling to find out who knows what about Andeanna and a lot of information is delivered through dialogue. However Lady of the Shades has a brilliant, jaw-dropping ending that will make you smile – maybe even laugh outloud. This book isn't overly gritty. Shan's writing is as smooth as a good Irish whiskey. He doesn't waste words, but it never feels spare either, with detail and poetic touches drawing you to Ed and his self-absorbed ways.
Through all the sordid killing and lies, plus the ghosts, Shan cleverly deals with themes including guilt, madness and love. Can we love people who decieve us? Do our minds simply believe what we want them to believe? Lady of the Shades has one or two answers for us to ponder. Read it.

Matt Reeves has recently released new tidbits on the narrative direction of the near-fabled The Batman movie. But in an effort it seems to make things more concrete, Warner Bros. Pictures has unveiled the release date for the film.
The next rendition of DC Comics' Dark Knight is set for cinematic release come June 25, 2021.
The film looks to pass the mantle of the Bat from the current DCEU Batman – played by Ben Affleck – to a new generational actor. The film is set to focus on a younger Bruce Wayne and according to Reeves will be a "noir" Detective story with multiple criminals/villains.
Can DC Comics get this right this time around? Let's hear what you think in the comment section.

27 But no one can enter the strong man's house and plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
28 'Truly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons and daughters of men, and whatever blasphemies they commit; 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin'— 30 because they were saying, 'He has an unclean spirit.'
27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. 28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
27 But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.
28 "Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for all sins and whatever blasphemies they utter. 29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" -- 30 because they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit."
27 Let me illustrate this further. Who is powerful enough to enter the house of a strong man like Satan and plunder his goods? Only someone even stronger--someone who could tie him up and then plunder his house.
28 'I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven, 29 but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences.' 30 He told them this because they were saying, 'He's possessed by an evil spirit.'
27 But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house.
28 "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"— 30 for they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit."
27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man's house. 28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.'
30 He said this because they were saying, 'He has an impure spirit.'

Hal Lindes on joining Dire Straits, performing for royalty, and not writing like Mark Knopfler
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT, APRIL 6, 1984
Stepping out of nowhere into one of the world's most popular and critically acclaimed bands would be a momentous move for any rock musician–and probably a scary one as well. Especially if the member you were hoping to replace was the band leader's younger brother!
But that's exactly what California-born guitarist Hal Lindes did after David Knopfler, kin to Dire Straits singer/songwriter/lead guitarist Mark Knopfler, decided to pack it in. And the addition of Lindes hasn't hurt the band one bit–at least not in the eyes of the Canadian record-buying public. The first album with the new recruit, Love Over Gold, scored Double Platinum status in this country, and Canada is the only worldwide territory to go Gold on the group's most recent release, the mini-LP ExtendedanceEPlay, which features "Twisting By the Pool".
The youngest member of Dire Straits at 30, Lindes is certainly keeping good company trading licks with Mark Knopfler, who was voted the Best New Guitarist of 1979 by the prestigious Guitar Player magazine. Fans of the band will be able to hear just how well the players complement each other in a live context on the just-released double album Alchemy, which was recorded in July of last year, at the Hammersmith Odean on England.
When he called from London on March 14 Lindes was asked about the new album, Dire Straits' busy touring schedule of '83, and their plans for the near future.
How did you come to join Dire Straits?
Well I joined just after they finished recording Making Movies. I hadn't known at the time that David [Knopfler, Mark's brother] had left the band, 'cause it was all pretty quiet, but it was mentioned to me that they were looking for a guitarist. And I thought, "What! That's an incredible twist of fate!"
So I said I'd really like to come down and play with the band.
Had you been following the band up till then?
Well no. I mean I had their first album and I knew it was good–I liked Mark's playing. But I wasn't like a big Dire Straits fan.
Were there a lot of guitarists auditioning?
No no. When I came down there was no one there. I came in and met everyone and then we went through "Tunnel of Love". At that point I really enjoyed it, and I really wanted to be part of it because the chemistry was right.
I understand you did a charity concert with Duran Duran for Prince Charles and Lady Diana last year. How did that come about?
It was written somewhere that Princess Diana has said we were her favourite band. We were just asked if we wanted to do the show, and were thrilled to do it.
It went pretty well, did it?
Yeah, it was fine. I mean there were a lot of Duran Duran fans, which aren't quite the same calibre as Dire Straits fans.
Did you get to meet Prince Charles and Lady Di?
Yes we did. Twice. And they were very nice; they told us that they enjoyed it tremendously. In fact we could see them in the balcony, and they seemed quite enthralled by the whole thing.
Did you ever get around to playing at the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris? I heard that you were invited to take part in an annual arts festival there.
[Sighs] I'm really disappointed that that couldn't happen. For some reason the government couldn't organize it properly. That would have been fantastic.
I wonder how the acoustics are in there. Pretty good, I would imagine.
Well I had the feeling we were supposed to do it outside. See we had done a week in Paris and the band is quite popular all over France. It would have been a free thing and you would have got a lot of people. And it woud have been summertime and everything.
Has the band written any new material since Twisting By the Pool?
Yeah. Mark writes all the time, so i think he's just compiling his stuff. And we want to do a studio record in the summertime, so I'm sure he's got a few things.
Mark Knopfler has done all the writing in the band, but would you ever like to write some of the tunes?
Well I've been working hard at writing, but I couldn't really write for the band because I don't write anything like Mark. And if the band ever did some outside material it wouldn't sound like Dire Straits.

Sister Wives fans know that Kody Brown and his family relocated again last year. Robyn Brown put up her Vegas home for sale, as did the other sister wives Meri, Janelle, and Christine. The current season of the TLC show presents Kody Brown relocating his family to Flagstaff. However, the move from Las Vegas to Flagstaff meant putting up their homes for sale.
Initially, it was thought that Janelle Brown, with some background in real estate, would be useful to sell at least her own home. However, it's been a while now and so far, all that happened was that some of the wives dropped their asking price. In fact, Radar Online noted that Janelle dropped her price on her home by $50k. Christine's house also dropped by over $40k in September and November. Her home listed for sale first but remains unsold. Robyn Brown's home listed in January for just under $620k. Meri's home listed at just under $600k.
Radar explains that the real estate market uses the term "escrow" in describing a home taken off the market. An offer made and accepted seems fairly final. They add that this also means a third party handles the deal. While there's no indication as to how much Robyn's home went for, no doubt the Brown family celebrate the news.
In the meantime, as seen on the current Sister Wives show, Meri Brown managed to raise the downpayment for her B&B. At one stage she admitted to Kody that she didn't want to risk the Las Vegas home as collateral. Nevertheless, she got her old family home, finding the finances herself. Today, Lizzie's Heritage Inn is operational. As Meri seems very quiet these days, fans of the show speculate she left the family in Flagstaff and returned to Utah to stay at the B&B. The family hasn't admitted that there is any truth to these speculations, though.
What do you think of the fact that Robyn Brown's home in Las Vegas got a buyer? Do you think Kody Brown has something to celebrate? Do you have any idea where Meri Brown is these days?
Stay in touch with TV Shows Ace for more news about Sister Wives.
If Meri is as smart as I think she is, she's living in Utah and not looking back!

Q: GNOME Screenshot area selection causing freezes Issue (Brief)
GNOME Screenshot often freezes or otherwise breaks GNOME when using the area select feature, requiring the gnome-session-b process be killed manually.
Issue (Detailed)
I have three devices running recently-installed copies of Ubuntu—two on 19.10 and one on 20.04. I am having consistent issues with GNOME Screenshot on the 20.04, although I'm reasonably certain I have experienced the same issues with the other two devices too.
When using GNOME Screenshot's area select feature (Shift+Prt Scrn), there is a good chance that the program will freeze after the area is selected (i.e., I press the hotkeys, the mouse cursor changes to a cross, I click and drag to stretch out an area selection box and then I release the click). The mouse still moves and any background audio still plays (though the usual shutter click sound does not play), but the selection box remains on screen, the cross-shaped mouse cursor remains and nothing can be interacted with. Pressing Esc does not cancel the program. So far the only way of fixing this I have found is to Ctrl+Alt+F3 into a Terminal window and run the command killall -3 gnome-session-b.

There does not seem to be a repeatable pattern to cause this; sometimes it happens on the first use after boot, other times it will happily go through many screenshots before one fails. The size of the selection box doesn't seem to matter, so I don't think it's a memory thing. Whether the box crosses multiple displays or not does not seem to be a factor.
In rarer cases, the area selection box will disappear and the cursor will revert to normal but GNOME features will no longer work—the start menu and panel indicator applet icons will highlight on mouseover, but do not respond to clicking, whilst the desktop icons do neither. Panel icon shortcuts work, including file explorer which functions as normal. Again, gnome-session-b must be killed.
GNOME Screenshot is an incredibly useful tool that I use multiple times daily, and this issue is happening often enough to cause considerable inconvenience.
System Information
One desktop PC running Ubuntu 20.04, two laptops running Ubuntu 19.10. All three devices using the GNOME Flashback session. Using non-proprietary GPU drivers.

A: As a workaround, I've added a keyboard shortcut for xclip -selection clipboard /dev/null using commands from CompizConfig Settings Manager.
To avoid a gnome freeze, you must always clean the clipboard before take a new screenshot:

*

*Take your area screenshot.

*Clean the clipboard with the new Keyboard
Shortcut you've selected to call xclip -selection clipboard /dev/null.

*Repeat 1 & 2 as many times you want.

A: Update: At some point in the last week or so, an update for something seems to have fixed this issue.

When is the last time you paid for an app on your phone? It has most likely been a while because most apps are free now, and within minutes, or even seconds, you have access to any service you might need for no initial cost to you. The question is, though, are these apps really free? Your iTunes or Google Play account balance would say yes, but there are often more ways to pay for a product or service than money.
Freemium is a combination of the words "free" and "premium" used to describe a business model that offers both free and premium services. The freemium business model works by offering simple and basic services for free for the user to try, and then adds more advanced or additional features at a premium. This, in and of itself, can be misleading, but this model can also put you and your family at risk.
So, if freemium apps and services can be dangerous and can compromise important information, why are most apps (even the good ones) now free? Well, to start, there are so few ways that independent developers can get funding for their ideas that they end up having to partner with larger corps to mine data (that we unknowingly give them through permissions while using their apps). Another reason is that people won't pay for a quality app when they could download a similar app for free, even if it does compromise their security. Safe apps couldn't beat the freemium app trend, so they had to join it.
According to a study conducted in 2017, the average person has 60-90 apps installed on their phone, using around 30 of them each month and launching 9 per day. Although these apps are free upfront, the in-app purchase of an extra $0.99 allows the app to access your payment methods including bank accounts, credit and debit cards, and PayPal accounts. These apps also require you to accept their terms and conditions to use them, but they often even allow themselves to have access to your camera, microphones, and location. So, to recap, in order to download a "free app" you have to accept terms and conditions that can include but are not limited to access to banking information, card information, PayPal accounts, your camera and photos, your microphone, and even your location. All of these allowances can be used whether the apps is open or closed on your phone and can even still be used if you delete the app! So, take all of the information that an app can access simply by downloading it for free and accepting its terms, and multiply that by 60-90 apps per person on their phone.
This is not to say that all freemium apps are dangerous, or that all apps that offer in app purchases are going to try and access your information, but there is a cause for concern and a need for awareness when using any apps, freemium apps especially. Apps that are typically the most dangerous are gaming apps, photo editing apps, dating apps, and several social media apps that contain in-app purchases. Some ways to prevent any information being compromised are to buy or download apps that do not require in-app purchases, don't allow apps to access your camera or location, only allow apps to use your location if it's necessary and only while you're using the app, and to always read the terms and conditions that you're agreeing to when you download an app or make a purchase. With so many apps being free and so many threats present it can often be hard to tell what apps are safe and worth downloading. If an apps constantly asks for permissions and wants you to frequently make in-app purchases, then you can assume it's probably not a safe app, or an app worth having.
Another problem with Freemium software is that the total cost of ownership for the game is unclear at the start. When you download it, you really have no way of knowing how much money you will pour into the game or service. People start to become annoyed with spending a dollar here and there for what should be basic capabilities, so then they start to share their app invitations on Facebook and through text in order to gain credit within the app. This is not only annoying to your friends and family, but it gives access to your contacts and now links the app with your social media accounts like Facebook and Twitter.
The real cost of using Freemium apps is having your information compromised, your privacy violated, and your money being taken in small increments that you barely notice, but that add up quickly. Using freemium apps without careful consideration is like selling your contacts, pictures, privacy, and other personal information for the $1.29 that you saved by not buying an app up front. That money that you saved is nothing compared to the information that you could lose. If you're going to download free games and services, just make sure you know the cost.

FCA Softball faces Green Mountain
Marsella Evans
The Faith Christian softball team began with a bang this year. Coach Joe Garmatz said, "I was thrilled with how the team played! It was a great start to the year. It is nice to see the results of all the players' hard work." The first game was against the Green Mountain Rams, a 4a team. The Lady Eagles are excited to have gained three new players this year: two freshman, London and Leslie, and a junior, Hampton Hays. The team has eight junior players, and it is led by senior captain Payton Walter. McKenzie Connor and Abriannah Mcgaw are also captains. The Green Mountain game started of slowly, with the first three Faith batters going down in succession, and a Rams' scoring in the first inning. Promptly, the Eagles scored six runs to counter them. The offense looked very strong. Defense was consistent, and McKenzie's pitching held firm throughout. The batters continued to pound the ball. There were a few small, fixable mistakes, but it went well for Faith Christian. Two runners managed to score for Green Mountain, but the damage had already been done. The final score was thirteen to three! The glory goes to God for a fantastic first game! Ashley Evans said, "It was a great team effort, and everyone played a part in the win. Also, it was cool to have our first-time run ruling a 4a team." Keep playing hard, and Go Eagles!!!

Which NFL team has the most expensive tickets?
Super Bowl tickets starting at $2,800 – Jan. 26, 2012.
How much is the average NFL season ticket?
Overall, with an average price of $465 NFL tickets for the 2021 season are 88% higher than the 2019. That number has been going up pretty steadily since 2012 when the average price across the league was $190, but after a 2020 season with limited fans, on no fans at all, demand is at a record high.
The average ticket price for an NFL game is $151, according to SeatGeek data.
(The last time Miami hosted the Super Bowl, in 2010, the average ticket price was $2,679.) The cheapest overall ticket TickPick has sold for this year so far was $3,560 per ticket (still much higher than past get-in prices) and the most expensive ticket it has sold so far was $17,400.
Super Bowl Ticket Prices 2017 Prices dropped a staggering $2,000 and were available for $2,250 (as of 1/30/17). But the volatility has been high, and prices have increased by $400 and the get-in price is now $2,650 (as of 2/2/17). So what were we to make of all this?
How much is a ticket to the Super Bowl 2022?
The 2022 Super Bowl ticket packages listed on On Location start at $5,822.50 per person. Depending on seat location and package details, listings even go up to $25,925.00 per person for VIP sections in their Club 67 Hospitality section.
The current listing at SeatGeek.com shows $3,431 as the average price, with $1,500 being the cheapest ticket available and a whopping $719,420 stub being the most expensive.
What is the difference between average ticket price and season ticket price?
The average ticket price represents the weighted average price across each team's general seating categories. The average weighted price factors number of seats sold for each category with the cost for each seating category to "weight" pricing by percentage of the total number. Season ticket pricing is used for all seats when offered.
The BBC's Price of Football study has the answers. The average cost of the most expensive matchday ticket in the Premier League has risen by 12% to £56.63 since 2011 – when the BBC's study was first conducted.
How many Premier League clubs have already released their season ticket prices?
Last year's Price of Football study analysed more than 700 tickets, with 70% seeing a price freeze or reduction. As it stands, eight of the 20 Premier League clubs have already released their season ticket prices for the 2016-17 campaign. as they prepare to move to the Olympic Stadium in the summer.
Average ticket prices in the NFL vary by team: the Los Angeles Chargers had the most expensive tickets in 2019, while tickets for the Buffalo Bills are among the cheapest.

Father testifies on pay for play at college hoops programs
Oct 4, 2018 - 5:32pm
Tom Hays
Brian Bowen Sr. arrives at federal court, Thursday, Oct. 4, 2018, in New York. When Brian Bowen Jr., one of America's brightest high school basketball stars, announced in June 2017 that he would attend the University of Louisville, a school that had not been on anyone's radar as his possible destination, sportswriters called it a coup that "came out of nowhere." In a trial that began Monday, federal prosecutors will argue that the signing wasn't luck at all but the result of a payoff to Bowen's father. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan)
NEW YORK (AP) — The father of a top-rated college basketball prospect testified Thursday that his son was offered thousands of dollars on the sly to play at major programs before a corruption scandal derailed the promising player's collegiate career.
At a federal trial over allegations about dirty money in college hoops, Brian Bowen Sr. said that an aspiring agent, Christian Dawkins, told the father he could pocket $50,000 if his son played at the University of Arizona, $150,000 at Oklahoma State or $100,000 at Creighton. Bowen said there was some interest from Oregon but didn't recall a cash offer.
Bowen told a Manhattan jury it was his understanding the offers were being made by assistant coaches at the schools, though he never spoke to them directly about money. He said the Oklahoma State offer, which included an additional $8,000 for a car, came from then-assistant coach Lamont Evans, a defendant in the investigation who's pleaded not guilty.
Dawkins, former amateur coach Merl Code and former Adidas executive James Gatto, have pleaded not guilty to charges they committed fraud by secretly funneling money from Adidas to families of prospects to get them to attend colleges sponsored by the athletic wear company. The son, Brian Bowen Jr., eventually landed at Louisville, an Adidas school, after the defendants engineered a promise of $100,000 for his family.
Dan Wetzel, a Yahoo Sports columnist, said in a tweet on Thursday that Bowen testified that the deal for his son to play at Louisville was raised from between $60,000 and $80,000 to $100,000 because that's how much University of Kansas recruit Billy Preston was paid.
Previously, prosecutors said payouts were offered in the recruitment of KU players, including an alleged $90,000 payment to the family of Preston, who never played in an official game for KU and now plays in the NBA.
Bowen ultimately transferred to South Carolina, but was never cleared to play college basketball before opting to pursue a professional career.
Gatto's attorney and a taped conversation in evidence at the trial have suggested the deal to sign with Louisville had to compete with an undisclosed offer to lure Brian Bowen Jr. to Oregon, which is sponsored by Nike. Oregon has denied it knew of any deal.
"The criminal case announced last year charging the three men with fraud resulted in the school announcing that Bowen wouldn't play for the Cardinals, though he could remain on scholarship if he chose to stay. It also led to the firing of Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino – who was never named in prosecutors' criminal complaints – as the investigation became public amid the school's appeal of NCAA sanctions from its embarrassing escort scandal."
Before his testimony about the alleged offers, the elder Bowen grew emotional when a prosecutor first brought up his son, who goes by the nickname "Tugs."
"Is Tugs in college?" asked Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Diskant.
"No, he's not," Bowen responded.
When the prosecutor asked why not, Bowen dropped his head into his hands and wept, prompting the judge to call a recess.
Brian Bowen Jr. now plays professionally in Australia.

European weddings are usually elaborate with lots of traditions and customs.
Inspired by the ever-ending romance and classic European way of style depicting the continent reminisce, they dreamed up an equally gorgeous translation to wedding design. The large flower arrangement was inspired from the Renaissance era painting and the idyllic setting perfect spot for a Victorian backdrop. The wedding décor is a lot of cut crystals and blossoming dripping flowers and seed pots embellish the entire scenario.
Just a picture perfect I suppose, as all European weddings are. The sheer beauty of the rooms, the gardens, the props available, the elegant and the gracious couple celebrating this wonderful experience makes any European wedding a perfect wedding event you can ever dream of.
Wedding in Europe without any wedding traditions or customs is virtually unthinkable. Can you visualize guests throwing and breaking crockery? Yes, it's a tradition in Germany that symbolizes good luck. Customs like forming a guard of honor outside the church, releasing balloons, throwing flower petals are a few of these. The tradition of the act of kidnapping the bride is quite thrilling and sounds adventurous, isn't it?
The English wedding cake is traditionally a fruit cake made with raisins, almonds, cherries and marzipan. The top layer of this wedding cake is usually preserved by the couples for the baptism of their first child. Wondering about this custom?
In the northern and eastern Europe, including countries like Norway, Denmark , Poland, Russia and Bulgaria the bride usually wears the wedding ring on the right hand fourth figure. This tradition is also followed in Spain, Portugal and Greece. If you happen to encounter with any Swedish bride you will see a set of three rings in her finger, one for her engagement , one the wedding band and also the ring of motherhood. In England the ring is placed in the wedding cake itself and whoever finds the ring from the cake piece is ensured happiness for the next year. Wearing the white gown is the most important in western Europe, but traditionally an Irish lady wears a blue dress a little off the beat with many European countries.
Every European wedding is truly a perfect harmony for you to smell poems in its floral designs and timeless elegance in the appearance. Find your Wedding Videographer in Mississippi.

Q: Shopping cart price rule SKU-A and SKU-B condition How can I set a condition if I require two unique SKUs to be purchased first, before a discount is availed?
For example, if SKU 0001 and SKU 0002 exists on the cart, then you'll get 50% OFF. Both SKUs are required.
I already tried the if SKU "contains" SKU002,SKU001 condition, and the if SKU "is" SKU002,SKU001 condition, but it doesn't seem to satisfy what I'm trying to achieve.

A: If you put both the SKU's in a single condition, it will evaluated as an OR condition. So, you will need to put both SKUs in separate conditions.

For the first time in the history of the paralegal profession in Ontario, the Law Society of Upper Canada ("LSUC"), the Ontario regulatory body which governs the legal profession, is permitting paralegals to stand for election as directors (known at the LSUC as Benchers). This LSUC board of governors is made up of 53 members- 8 non-legal or lay members appointed by the provincial government, 40 lawyers elected by all lawyers in Ontario, and now soon to be 5 paralegals elected by their membership. This is an illustrious event in the annals of the paralegal profession. Were I a licensed paralegal, I would at the very least be concerned with which 5 members were going to assist in governing my profession on everything from scope of practice to discipline. The particular 5 to be elected are all the more important on a board with significantly more lawyer members, many of whom, from the get-go, dislike, fear, and disrespect paralegals.
The voting for this election could not be any easier. All of the more than 6000 licenced paralegals in the province need simply log on to the website to cast their votes (each voter can select 5 of the two dozen or so candidates in the mix). I am one of those lawyers who has always benefited from a symbiotic business relationship between lawyers and paralegals. I regularly teach paralegal courses, write for their publications, and speak at their conferences. I was honoured to be selected to moderate one of the two major election debates between the paralegal Bencher candidates last month. So it saddens me, and it should terrify the paralegals themselves, that according the LSUC, with only a few days until the close of voting, that less than 1000 of those eligible to cast their votes actually did so. The actual proportion to have voted as of this writing is 13%.
My lawyer colleagues didn't fare a whole lot better. In the 2011 Bencher election, there were over 100 candidates for 40 seats. There were over 50,000 lawyers eligible to vote by mail. At the end of the day only 37% cast their ballot.
This particular apathy towards voting within a fairly insular self-governing profession is not only disturbing; it could have profound results. The more interested and informed voters there are, the most likelihood there will be of actually achieving a governing body that is truly representative of the personal, business and geographic diversity within the profession. The more people involved in the debates and dialogues over issues of the day, the more voices will not only be heard but listened to by those in power. And most importantly, an active electorate is the strongest bulwark against the tyranny of the minority in power.
Regrettably, this voter lethargy is not unique to the legal profession. It is in fact merely a symptom of the endemic atrophy of voter interest in the public at large.
There will be shortly a provincial election. In the last such election, the 2011 vote which sent Dalton McGuinty back to the Premier's office, only 48% of Ontario voters showed up at the polls. Federally, Stephen Harper secured his last majority government in May of 2011 with a respectable but we-can-still-do-better 6 out of every 10 of registered voters bothering to leave their homes or offices to do their civic duty.
Next to self-governing regulatory bodies for the professions, the single most direct impact any level of governing authority will have on an individual is at the municipal level. And yet, municipal elections have abysmal turnouts. In the last province-wide municipal elections of October 2010, less than half exercised their democratic right to select their local government. While I would not expect anything nearing the 100 percent voter turnout in sham elections run by the likes of Saddam Hussein, a turnout of three-quarters of eligible electorate would be more in line with what one would hope for in a vibrant, active democracy.
I have heard all the excuses- "I don't know anything about politics"; "I don't have time to go vote"; "They're all the same so why waste my time?"; My vote doesn't count anyway" And every conceivable variation on these and many other excuses.
We live in what is, despite Americans' claim that they are it, the most free and democratic nation in the world. We are able to elect governments from our small town local council up to our federal government. There are dozens of professional regulatory bodies in the province representing hundreds of thousands of hard-working, tax-paying professionals. For the most part, those in the professions get to vote for their leadership as well. Even the condo I live in has annual elections to ensure the board of directors is democratically elected. But we should not take this democracy for granted. Democracy ignored can turn into democracy denied. We must take to heart our democratic right to vote and when presented the opportunity, we must educate ourselves, involve ourselves and motivate ourselves to be aware of the issues and to cast an informed vote.


A day after former Union minister accused of sexual harassment, MJ Akbar was trolled by Twitterati for supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's '#MainBhiChowkidar' campaign, the #MeToo accused briefly removed the 'chowkidar' prefix from his Twitter handle on Tuesday.
A Twitter user pointed out that Akbar had briefly removed 'Chowkidar' from his Twitter handle, but added it back just hours later.
Modi launched the #MainBhiChowkidar campaign on Saturday, following which Akbar tweeted in solidarity the next day.
Promoting the campaign, Akbar in his tweet, pledged to help create a "new India". "I am proud to join #MainBhiChowkidar movement. As a citizen who loves India, I shall do my best to defeat corruption, dirt, poverty & terrorism and help create a New India which is strong, secure and prosperous," the tweet read.
However, he was mocked by several activists and individuals. Several activists and even the general Twitterati subjected Akbar to major trolling, with some making puns and others shaming the serial sexual offender. Actor Renuka Shahane said, "If you are also a chowkidar, then women are definitely unsafe."
It is to be noted that although Akbar resigned after at least 20 women accused him of sexual misconduct, he is still a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Mjakbar is claiming to be a chowkidar..
Can someone ask him to stop trying to reinstate his space so brazenly. If people are not discussing it doesnt mean they have forgotten.
Several Union ministers, including External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also used the prefix 'chowkidar' to their Twitter handles.

Q: How to get and save Wordpress content (html, css, images, videos) from a Java program? I apologize if it's not the good place to ask this question. Please if it's not help me to find where I have to ask it.
So here is my challenge. I need to get and save WordPress content (HTML, CSS, images and videos) from a Java program.
          HTML, images, CSS
WordPress -----------------> File system

Then I'd like to parse this content to integrate the pages into my existing Spring web application. For example it means that
http://localhost/wp-content/image1.png

will need to change into
http://localhost/spring/image1.png

to worked into my Spring application.
I've thought about many possibilities so far. I would like to get your feedback and may be suggest other solutions that I didn't think about.

*

*Use this little Java wget program, to get all the content from the WordPress site and then save it.
Pros : It is sure it will work as its wget's goal to create site mirrors.
Cons : Links won't work in my Spring application and I will need to parse the html and css codes anyway.

*Use jsoup.
Pros : As its a parser I can directly change the URL to integrate it in my Spring application.
Cons : Can't be sure it is possible to save the content on the hard drive.

*Use a WordPress plugin to export pages.
Pros : Only pages related to the current change are resaved on the hard drive (it's possible to specify a folder).
Cons : It's not in Java (I can't maintain the plugin). Anyway I need to watch the destination folder and each time a file change I need to reparse it to change the links to make it work in my spring application.
I didn't find other solutions and all those solutions are pretty bad. Do you think about other ways to do that?
Thank you for your help.

A: I can answer my own question. Jsoup can do what I need:

*

*Extract the content (tested)

*Change the link for Spring (tested)

*Save HTML (tested), images (tested), videos (not yet tested)

RICH HILL for Harley

Tracy Droz Tragos is organizing this fundraiser.
MEDICAL EXPENSES FOR HARLEY
In making our film, we hoped audiences would be moved to empathy - not only for the three families in our film, but for the many low-income families like them who are struggling to make ends meet across rural America. Now, however, we are asking specifically for your support of Harley in his great time of need.
The results of Harley's MRI just a few weeks ago came as a tremendous shock. Harley has a brain tumor, which is why his foot turns, his left-arm gives him trouble, and his smile is kind of crooked. Soon after learning the news, Harley's Grandma Betty lost her job - laid off because she had taken too much time off to be with Harley in the hospital.
At this moment, Harley and his family are facing mounting medical costs around treatment and diagnosis. Harley needs a second option - but we don't yet know whether Missouri Medicaid will pay for additional tests.
Many audience members ask how they can help. Here's how: we are hoping to raise enough funds so that Harley and his Grandma are able to travel to Boston, Massachusetts and undergo the additional tests he needs, before facing likely chemotherapy and brain surgery. This is the first, vital step for Harley and his family to make the most informed choice around his care and future. It would be tough for anyone to manage these unexpected costs - but particularly for Harley and his family, who are barely getting by.
Harley is still the great young man who so bravely shared his life in our documentary, RICH HILL. He is out of school now - with support, when he pulls through, he may be able to pursue his GED. For now, he's facing his life-threatening diagnosis - taking life day-by-day and being a 16-year-old kid (who turns 17 on April 12th). He still cracks jokes and loves to show off his knife collection. Thanks to the hard work of the Bates County Prosecutor's Office and Victim's Rights Advocate, Harley was able to have a 2-hour visit with his mom, Joann, in the Chillicothe Correctional Facility this past Monday. Also, there is a wonderful lawyer from one of our early screenings who is working on Joann's appearance before the parole board this July.
Harley loves to meet audiences, to answer questions and work a room. He'll be happy to sign your autograph and pose for a picture. I recently asked Grandma Betty how she thought being in the film had been for Harley, and she said it had been a good thing. I asked, "Why?" And she said, "For the first time, these boys feel like they belong." Thank you for anything you can do to help Harley during this time. He's just one kid from a small town off the highway. But despite his challenges and circumstances, he's a kid that matters and belongs. We are grateful to you, our audiences, for being the community that surrounds him during his hard time.

What can I do to help? Spain's Costa del Sol community pulls together to aid those (people and animals) affected by wildfire
THE AMAZING Costa del Sol community has pulled together to help those affected by the devastating wildfire sweeping through the Sierra Bermeja valley.
People have come together for a cause which is breathing new life into the containment efforts of the fire.
From members of the equestrian community who are pulling together to help horses and owners affected by the devastating fires, voluntary veterinarians who are on call 24/7 to deal with injured wildlife or livestock, to hoteliers offering free beds and shower facilities for those brave firefighters risking their lives to battle the fire fronts.
Facebook groups have also popped up to help collaborate with the firefighting efforts, the following is a list of different ways you can help your community:
ARCH Charity Shop:
The Arch Charity Shop in Alhaurin El Grande is the collection point for items urgently required to treat affected animals by the team of volunteer vets from the *Official College of Veterinarians in Malaga
*Additionally, the Malaga Veterinary Association has set up a 24-hour hotline (tlf: 630 80 99 23) to report any sightings of animals injured in the Sierra Bermeja wildfire.
23 drop off points for food, clean linen and clean clothes:
Check out the facebook page with full list HERE
Go Fund:
Organised by Daria Dubinina to raise money that will go towards local non profit organizations and animal shelters:
Members of the equestrian community have also joined the effort, helping with evacuations and offering space to those forced to flee, with Paddock Paradise in Ronda among those taking in horses in need.
ADANA (Association for the Rights of Abandoned Animals), a charitable organisation on the Costa del Sol run by volunteers, is also looking for help rehoming of animals during the fires.
Partners from AEHCOS (Association of Hotel Entrepreneurs Costa del Sol) have also offered more than 600 beds to the firefighters battling the fire in Sierra Bermeja and to those who have been evacuated
In the end, it will be the combined efforts of hundreds of people which will be needed to overcome the catastrophic fire in Sierra Bermeja.
