Bill- Here are a few possible details/descriptions that you can work into the last panel or not, as what works for you. I've enclosed a sketch based on messing with your sketch to show one direction and how I see the elements working together.
I put Caine in a mirrored position to your first panel- I'd add red eyes to this one. Caine doesn't have to be the centerpiece figure, but I like how it is literally the beginning and the end of vampires and there he is, and I can't think of a better ancient vampire to be in this one as any other one would make the focus too much about them.
The crescent moon symbol that is in a bunch of the Gehenna prophecies I put in as cracks in the ground/stone.
The shadow figure to the left of Caine could be Lasombra- I tried to suggest a crown in the shadows atop his head.
Above him I changed one of the skull faces from before into more of a closed eye mask or sculpted face. If I had details I'd have had red rose petals scattered around it, but the idea is that it is one of perfect beauty.
To Caine's left and below, I darkened the figure and suggested a spear haft or pole for the Assamite Haquim.
I left a giant monstery hand in there clawing at the ground for any one of the monstrous antedeluvians.
In the midst of the figures I added the coils of a monstrous worm with magical symbols in its skin for what might be Tremere.
Assamites: Haqim. His skin should probably be ebony black, given that the Assamites darken as they age. This would be more like he was made of ebony than total darkness. Known to carry a spear.
Followers of Set: Set/Typhon. Ancient Egyptian. May literally appear with the head of the "Typhonic beast" he's usually depicted with in Egyptian art.
Gangrel: Ennoia. Given the Gangrel weakness, could be pretty monstrous indeed. May have "Earth Melded" with the planet itself, which is pretty terrifying, but harder to depict. Gangrel would be great with burning crimson eyes. Maybe some teeth and a lower jaw splashed by mercurial moonlight.
Lasombra: Artistically, I always envisioned a shadow form of something human like. With no distinguishable features but with a crown of shadows.
Nosferatu: Absimilard. Bore the original curse of hideousness which was passed on to his clan. Rumoured to have fled to the bottom of the sea or to Antarctica. Either way, pretty gross.
Toreador: Ishtar/Arikel. Toreador ancient covered in dead rose petals left by a placating cult, and marble Grecian statues that resemble the creature's skin. Perfect beauty.
Tremere: Still "active." IIRC, rumour had it he'd become this bizarre worm-like creature with three eyes. Coils writhing among other humanoid figures with mystical tattoos covering it.
Tzimisce: A… thing. Neither wholly flesh nor plant, it's a withing rotting mass of… thing. I'm totally waiting for a rendition of Tzimisce, which should embody the ideal of androgynous/alien creture: disturbing, dangerously calm in an oh-so-weird way, and with an aura of unholy beauty, for lack of a better word, that you'd rather stop blinking until you get blind than turn your gaze away.
I tried to fit everything in-let me know what you think at this point….
the idea of the red rose pedals is great, it would add a dash of color and tie this piece in with the first's spatter of blood.
From your perspective, would it make sense both compositionally and time-wise to pull the shadowman from Caine's left into the right top corner and use that space where he was to show more cracks in the ground and maybe a few burning embers (rocks) falling as if a big blast of destruction is taking place offscreen? Does that also tie it more to the composition of panel #1 flipped?
Do you have an idea for what is currently happening offscreen to the left? It looks like Caine is startled- which isn't quite what I'd imagine from him after thousands of years of unlife, I'd expect almost irritation and barely repressed rage.
I think Caine works now- right attitude, right gestures.
I'd play down the articles of clothing. Maybe some vaguely desert dwelling rags on the spear guy- in fact I'd wrap the rags around him to break his profile, which is too much like the guy at far left. Rags versions of what you already have on the guy at left, strip the rest- I'd keep left guy in shadow and not a focal point. The "girl" at right should be less about the aggressive postures of the others and more standoffish, holding back and watching the others with her perfect mask-like face. And rose petals.
And that's where it stands at the moment- Bill is working on the color finishes for the first two panels and another take of this sketch and we're very close to the point where he can go to finish on this or punch me in the nose. Maybe both.

Ozon Stock Surges 34% in IPO in U.S. Why the Russian Online Retailer Is Offering Growth but Not Profits.

A new e-commerce company hit the market showing blistering growth and stubborn financial losses.
If that scenario sounds familiar, the location may not. Russian online retailer Ozon Holdings raised $990 million from an initial stock offering on Nasdaq today, for a valuation of $6.2 billion. "This is probably the most exciting IPO Russia has ever had in terms of investor interest," says Jacob Grapengiesser, a partner at East Capital.
Exciting indeed. Ozon priced 33 million shares at $30 each, the company said Tuesday, and surged 34% in the first day of trading, closing at $40.18. Investors should pause before getting carried away. Ozon (ticker: OZON) is hardly fresh out of its garage. It started up in 1998 as an Amazon.com (AMZN) clone hawking books and DVDs. Russian e-tailing has had a tough slog since then. Formidable distances and a wretched postal service made deliveries a challenge. Many of Russia's 145 million consumers clung to payments in cash, keeping them off the digital commerce map.
The coronavirus pandemic accelerated the slow crawl. Ozon's gross merchandise value jumped by 142%, and revenue 70%, year-on-year in the first nine months of 2020. That barely dented the bottom line, though, which ended up about $16 million in the red. Analysts expect profit in 2023, at best.
Ozon, which is controlled by Moscow conglomerate Sistema (SSA.United Kingdom) and Western private equity firms, followed Amazon's model for much of its history, bulking up on warehouses and a proprietary courier service. The company rebranded itself lately as an asset-light marketplace closer to Chinese giant Alibaba Group Holding (BABA), putting consumers and merchants together rather than holding its own inventory.
That move will increase volume but shrink margins, Grapengiesser says. That means near-exponential expansion will have to continue to reach profitability. "They have to prove to investors that they can deliver the growth," he says.
Ozon faces stiff competition, too. It's not even Russia's biggest e-tailer anymore. That distinction goes to Wildberries, a privately owned firm focusing on clothing. Alibaba's foreign arm, AliExpress, is also on the march after a joint venture deal last year with internet holding Mail.ru Group (MAIL.U.K.). "The race for e-commerce in Russia has not been won yet," says Bas Godska, general partner at regional venture capital firm Acrobator Ventures.
Would-be Ozon investors may see a cautionary tale in its Polish counterpart Allegro (ALE.POLAND),which jumped by two-thirds after pulling off that country's biggest IPO ever in September. The shares have sunk by a quarter since then.
It is refreshing to see Russia, Europe's most populous market, in the news for something other than oil and foreign policy truculence. A clear path to profit would be better still.

Q: Why I am getting error when I try to cast an opencv image data pointer to a char* I have this code:
cv::Mat myImage = imread("Image.png");
char * dataPointer = const_cast<char*>(myImage.data);

but I am getting error:
'const_cast' : cannot convert from 'uchar *const ' to 'char *'

Why I am getting this error?

A: Technically, the issue is that a const_cast can only change the CV-qualifiers, and a cast from uchar *const to char * does a bit more than that: it will also convert unsigned char (aliased by OpenCV to uchar) to char, pointer-wise.
I would advise you not to remove the const qualifier. But if you cannot avoid it, converting the pointer to uchar* instead should work for you.
cv::Mat myImage = imread("Image.png");
uchar * dataPointer = const_cast<uchar*>(myImage.data);

If you really want a char*, that can be done too.
char* dp = reinterpret_cast<char*>(dataPointer);

I read a lot of books. A lot of fiction. I read books on my kindle (either on my iPad or on my actual Kindle Voyage e-reader), and I listen to a LOT of audiobooks on Audible. I walk and/or run (usually walk) about 5 miles a day, and most of those days I am listening to audiobooks. I read audiobooks in the car. I will occasionally re-read books I really like. This year, I re-read almost all of the Michael Connnelly, Harry Bosch books; and in anticipation for this summer's conclusion to Stephen King's Mercedes Killer trilogy, I re-read the first two. I also read a lot of books though Netgalley, which provides me with pre-publication copies in return for fair reviews. I am currently reading many of Robert A. Heinlein's "juvenile" or YA "speculative fiction" novels (a.k.a. science fiction). Heinlein is truly one of a kind.
As I sat tonight in a long meeting, I made a list of everything I read this year. I was impressed with it. And the year still has 24 days left.
Here is the list. It is not in order, and includes print and audio.

Q: Как организовать доступ к объектам классов, объявленных в разных исходниках? Здравствуйте, у меня проект в VS2010, в нем несколько хидеров и cpp файлов.
В 2-х .h файлах есть 2 различных класса в 2-х пространствах, в 2-х cpp соответственно написаны функции. Функция майн находится в 3-ем cpp файле, в нем же обьявлены  обьекты классов и оттуда происходит их вызов. Беда в том, что я не могу получить доступ из 1-го cpp файла к обьекту из второго cpp и наоборот. Пространства подключал, делал даже элементы классов статическими. Ничего не помогло. А так если не вызывать - всё работает. Как быть в таком случае? Спасибо.
A: Наверно Вы хотели сделать что-то вроде этого?
//module1.h
#ifndef MODULE1_H
#define MODULE1_H

#include <string>

class Hello1
{
public:
  Hello1();
  void SayMyHello();
  void SayOtherHello()
  void fromMain();
private:
  string msg;
}

#endif

//module1.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "module1.h"
#include "module2.h"

Hello1::Hello1()
{
  msg = "Hello from module #1";
}

void Hello1::SayMyHello()
{
  cout << msg << endl;
}

void Hello1::SayOtherHello()
{
  Hello2 h2;
  h2.SayMyHello();
}

void Hello1::fromMain()
{
  cout << "This is a module #1" << endl;
}

//module2.h
#ifndef MODULE2_H
#define MODULE2_H

#include <string>

class Hello2
{
public:
  Hello2();
  void SayMyHello();
  void SayOtherHello();
  void fromMain();
private:
  string msg;
}

#endif

//module2.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "module1.h"
#include "module2.h"

Hello2::Hello2()
{
  msg = "Hello from module #2";
}

void Hello2::SayMyHello()
{
  cout << msg << endl;
}

void Hello2::SayOtherHello()
{
  Hello1 h1;
  h1.SayMyHello();
}

void Hello2::fromMain()
{
  cout << "This is a module #2" << endl;
}

//main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "module1.h"
#include "module2.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  Hello1 hl1;
  hl1.SayMyHello();
  hl1.SayOtherHello();
  hl1.fromMain();

  Hello2 hl2
  hl2.SayMyHello();
  hl2.SayOtherHello();
  hl2.fromMain();
  return 0;
}

A: надо чтобы каждый из тех двух h-файло включал другой, только не забудьте конструкцию вида:
 #ifndef MODULE_H_
#define MODULE_H_
//содержит описание класса
#endif /* MODULE_H_ */

Itsy Bitsy, Teenie Weenie, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
On this date in 1946 the bikini was introduced in Paris. Two-piece swimsuits had been in vogue since the early 1940s, although they were relatively modest and always covered the navel. In the summer of 1946 designer Jacques Heim came up with a revealing two-piece outfit which he called the atome: "the world's smallest bathing suit." But credit for the name goes to his competitor, French mechanical engineer-turned-swimsuit designer Louis Réard, who unveiled his design on July 5. He predicted that the skimpy swimwear would cause a cultural explosion to rival the recent nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll, and that's where he got the name that stuck. Réard couldn't find a model who was willing to wear such a revealing outfit so he had to hire an exotic dancer from the Casino de Paris. He got 50,000 fan letters and famously stated in his ads that a swimsuit wasn't really a bikini unless you could pass it through a wedding ring.
It took a while for the bikini to catch on in the United States, however. Modern Girl magazine opined in a 1957 issue, "It is hardly necessary to waste words over the so-called bikini since it is inconceivable that any girl with tact and decency would ever wear such a thing." But by 1960 it was big hit and singer Brian Hyland had a hit of his own that year, with the song "Itsy Bitsy, Teenie Weenie, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini." In 1964 Sports Illustrated debuted its first swimsuit issue
and by 1965 only "squares" went to the beach in anything but a bikini.

Commie Chess
After the penultimate round of the recently concluded European Championships in Israel the Russian player Evgeniy Najer had eight points, half a point more than the two players tied for second place, David Navarra, of the Czech Republic, and another Russian, Denis Khismatullin. The two Russians were paired in the last round, while GM Navarra was paired the Bulgarian Ivan Cheparinov, who had scored seven points, half a point less than the two aforementioned players tied for second place. The pairings for the final round were Khismatullin vs Najer, and Navarra vs Cheparinov. These are dream pairings for a chess fan! Khismatullin needed to win and had the White pieces, and the same could be said for the board two battle. This is the game "played" by the two Russians:
GM Denis Khismatullin (2653) – GM Evgeniy Najer (2634)
16th ch-EUR Indiv 2015 Jerusalem ISR 2015.03.08
1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 c6 5.a4 Bf5 6.Nh4 Bc8 7.Nf3 Bf5 8.Nh4 Bc8 9.e3 Bg4 10.Nf3 e6 11.h3 Bh5 12.g4 Bg6 13.Ne5 Nbd7 14.Nxc4 h5 15.g5 Ne4 16.h4 Bb4 17.Bg2 Nxc3 18.bxc3 Bxc3+ 19.Bd2 Bxd2+ 20.Qxd2 O-O 21.O-O f6 22.f4 Nb6 23.Na5 Qe7 24.Qe2 Rae8 25.Bf3 Qf7 26.Kh2 e5 27.fxe5 fxe5 28.Qa2 ½-½
I do not need a 3300 rated chess program to inform me something was rotten in Denmark. If a student showed me this game I would have to question why he played 17 Bg2. It is incomprehensible that Najer did not take the Rook in lieu of the Bishop on move 19. All chess players with four digits after their name would question the move made by Black, 19…Bxd2+. This game brought to mind the famous article in the August 1962 issue of Sports Illustrated by Bobby Fischer, The Russians Have Fixed World Chess. My next thought was that a new chapter on chess should be included in a revised issue of, The Fix Is In: The Showbiz Manipulations of the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NASCAR, by Brian Tuohy. Then I thought of a chess player of yesteryear, Oscar Al Hamilton, who believed, "Everything is rigged."
What have the "mainstream" chess websites had to say about the collusion conclusion of the European Championships? The first article, dated March 10, appeared on the chess24.com website, Najer is European Champion, by IM David Martínez, who wrote, "Russian Grandmaster Evgeniy Najer has won the European Individual Championship in Jerusalem after drawing with compatriot Denis Khismatullin in the final round. After a fine tournament he could afford to offer a draw on move 28 in a very favourable position and still finish half a point clear of the field on 8.5/11." (https://chess24.com/en/read/news/najer-is-european-champion)
A day later an article appeared on the Chessbase website, Evgeny Najer is 2015 European Champion, by by Albert Silver. He writes, "The fresh European champion for 2015 is Russian GM Evgeny Najer! In the final round having a better position he accepted a draw offer by his compatriot Denis Khismatullin to secure the desired championship title though not before making sure that David Navara, the other runner-up, wouldn't achieve more than a draw against Bulgarian Ivan Cheparinov." (http://en.chessbase.com/post/evgeny-najer-is-2015-european-champion)
Bobby Fischer was proven right and the commie collusion continues to this day. It will not stop as long as the Russians who still think, and act, like communists are in control of FIDE. The day after the tournament ended saw this headline, Putin just awarded a medal of honor to the chief suspect in one of Russia's most notorious political murders, by Jeremy Bender, dated March 9, 2015. "Russian President Vladimir Putin has just awarded the chief suspect in one of the past decade's most notorious political assassinations a medal of honor, AFP reports.
The Kremlin honored Andrei Lugovoi, a member of Russia's lower house of parliament, for his "great contribution to the development of the Russian parliamentary system and his active role in lawmaking."
Lugovoi is still wanted in Britain as one of the two chief suspects in the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in 2006. Litvinenko, a defector from the FSB, Russia's leading intelligence service, died after being poisoned with radioactive polonium-210 in London.
After Litvinenko's defection from the FSB, he moved London where he became an outspoken critic of Putin and his regime. British intelligence believes that Lugovoi personally slipped the polonium into Litvinenko's tea during a meeting at the Millennium hotel in London in November 2006. Twenty-three days later, Litvinenko died in a London hospital.
Lugovoi was cleared of wrongdoing after a questioning by a British polygrapher in Moscow following the murder. However, the polygrapher has admitted to skewing the results and said that Lugovoi actually failed a portion of the test in which he denied having ever handled polonium-210, the Guardian reports.
Putin giving an award to Lugovoi might be aimed at undermining Britain specifically during its ongoing investigation into the 2006 assassination. London is currently holding public hearings as part of an inquiry into Litvinenko's death.
Lugovoi is being honored less than two weeks after the murder of prominent Russian dissident Boris Nemtsov. Nemtsov, an opposition activist and former deputy prime minister during Boris Yeltsin's presidency, was shot to death on a bridge just 200 yards from the walls of the Kremlin on February 27.

Informal Essay Writing - Hire Expert Academic Writer To Help You Out!
The term informal has often been misinterpreted by many students to assume that there is some lack of information in as far as essay writing is concerned. An informal essay is the kind of essay that is written purely for pleasure or for fun. Though this is the nature of an informal essay, these can also be written to have a lot of relevant information. The reason behind the use of the term informal essay is because in this type of essay writing, you have the freedom to explore whichever writing ability you have so that you can express some idea in a way that best suits you. In the event that you do not know how to go about this, do not worry since the professional writers at VivaEssays will surely solve your dilemma. We can help you with your informal essay writing assignment and make it look as professional as possible, and even earn you the most marks for it.
There are a few things that set an informal essay writing exercise apart from the rest of the other essay writing tasks that you might have to work on. These actually form the core of the essay writing process. However, the freedom to write about the topic makes an informal essay writing task rather less rigid, and relaxed, but with a neatly and planned style. Therefore you have to make sure that your reasoning follows some flow even as much as you are writing informally.
Through informal essay writing, you are supposed to be able to express your line of thought with ease. This means that you should write well enough to make someone see the point in discussion through your line of thought; as your vision or your philosophy. To be able to do this perfectly, you have to make the informal essay sound like a conversation between you and your readers. Planning is just as important a step in this kind of writing as compared to the rest, so that you do not just write up about a fictional story, but one that has direction and some sense too.

Woman killed in gruesome San Jose homicide
<iframe width="476" height="267" src="https://abc7news.com/video/embed/?pid=306407" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
A 40-year-old woman was found beaten to death early Friday morning in San Jose.
SAN JOSE (KGO) -- San Jose police were investigating the homicide of a woman in her 40s who was found dead on the street. Detectives were questioning several people in the area in hopes of finding the killer.
At about 2:20 a.m., a woman was found beaten to death on the sidewalk on North 15th Street near Commercial Street in San Jose.
Word of the homicide spread quickly Friday morning. The apparent victim was well known in the homeless community.
"She'd make friends with everybody or try to," said Mike Brannon, a San Jose resident. "She'd go around and say my name's Betty, like Boop."
Police wouldn't confirm her identity, but others say the victim is Betty.
Officers says they have three persons of interest in custody awaiting questioning by homicide detectives.
Workers at nearby businesses were kept out of the crime scene for several hours.
The area has seen violence before.
Dan Schaper, business owner, said he's not surprised about what happened because there have been other homicides in the area.
A lot of homeless people live in and around the industrial area.
City Team Ministries' Mens Shelter is a few blocks away. It also serves breakfast and dinner to the homeless community.
They say Betty was a regular at dinner time, but the woman described as friendly and outgoing is gone. Her life, taken while living on the streets of San Jose.

Time for BC Trustees Accountability & Transparency to the BC Family
Basketball, BC Eagles, Football, Hockey, Sports, Spotlight
by The Gavel
By Steven R. Lively, '83 BC Graduate and Football Alum
Dear Boston College Board of Trustee Members, Students, our Student Athletes, Employees, Alumni, and Fans of the University,
Boston College is a place I love almost as much as J. Donald Monan S.J., former Boston College President now Chancellor. Both Father Monan and members of the Board of Trustees then (1978-1982) viewed everyone at Boston College equally. Father Monan and members of the Board of Trustees knew the names of staff working the grounds and even the gentleman riding the zamboni to the staff in dining services. We were all part of a great BC family!
Unfortunately, I have been watching events unfold in our athletic department and within the Office of the President in recent months that are disturbing. The character of a university should reflect its leadership. What is described herein and in communications sent directly to the Boston College Board of Trustees is deeply disturbing.
As a provider of allegations made by so many to the Boston College Board of Trustees, I trust the Board of Trustees will do what is right for humanity and indeed set aside any political loyalties. Very serious abuses are alleged to have taken place within the athletic department. The Board of Trustees must now ask itself are there any civil right abuses here? Is there a threat of retaliation?
It is time to rebuild what was given to President Leahy, an incredible Division 1A sports legacy and a university where alumni later return to play important roles in the development of the future of the university. President Leahy moved away from an incredible success model and in so doing hurt an important social fabric of Boston College. It is time for Boston College to reach out to its alumni and rebuild the character that was the hallmark of an incredibly spiritual and friendly place. It is time to restore the great BC family!
What has taken place in the athletic department should be a wake-up call to our Board of Trustees and to the NCAA. Sports psychologists should study what took place in our athletic department and suggest avenues to avoid such destructive behavior.
While many students of Boston College may not see the stress in the ecosystem certainly BC employees and athletes have witnessed it. What has been simmering within Boston College for some time does not smell right; it is time to gut the kitchen!
The Culture Across BC or Just in Athletics?
How can an athletic director become so powerful both within and outside a university? What role did money play in this? What are the lessons learned thus far from the tragic events that are the underpinnings of the fall of Boston College Athletics? Who gave the athletic director unchecked power? The toxic culture created significant employee turnover! Who is responsible for the health and well being of the employees? Was anyone watching out for Boston College employees? It does not appear to be the case! There was significant turnover. How can the Boston College athletic director curse out alumni who have written substantial checks to the university and cause them to disassociate from the university? Where was the President of Boston College? What are the potential liabilities to Boston College from allegations provided to the Board of Trustees? We need compassion from the Board of Trustees. We need to understand the conditions people had to work under and make sure it never happens again, anywhere!
We need leadership from the Board of Trustees!
The Genesis of the Decline?
Kathleen M. McGillycuddy, Chair of the Boston College Board of Trustees in an undated response and not using Boston College stationary indicated the following, "The Boston College Board of Trustees has delegated responsibility for athletics to the President of the university, William P. Leahy, S.J. and I suggest that you address your questions directly to him."
As President of Boston College, Father Leahy has strengthened the financial health of the university. However, the extreme emphasis on donor and gift giving has greatly tarnished the university's image and brand via the athletic department, and significantly harmed long time relationships between the university, its student athletes, its coaches, its Golden Eagle alumni and fan base. Walking around Boston College and seeing many employees of the university and or alumni the discussions all lead to "this place (Boston College) is all about money – it has changed!"
Someone must accept responsibility for what has taken place at Boston College. Our student athletes and many coaches are the victims as well as other employees. The Board of Trustees of Boston College must seek the truth and understand the ecosystem's culture of fear. People at the highest levels of Boston College had to have known at least some of the many allegations made, in fact, a former Boston College Board of Trustees member stated such.
Some have expressed that Boston College Athletics is headed down the path of Holy Cross when then President Brooks downgraded the athletics program. They say this is the desire of Boston College President Leahy. If downgrading the athletic program is his objective then the student body of Boston College should be made aware of this, what is left of the athletics fan base should be made aware of this, and most important of all our athletes that have received a full academic/athletic scholarship and the wider public should be made aware of this. I don't think the Board of Trustees will allow anything less than a 100% commitment to Division 1A athletics, but we all want to hear it from the Board of Trustees & clear. To you the students of Boston College, you are the customers of the university and possible future donors demand nothings less than great academics and Division 1A College Athletics to demand anything less diminishes the university and future talking points!
Ask Those on the Board That Know
It is time for transparent leadership from the Board of Trustees. Perhaps this ultimately is where the problems began. To the members of our Board of Trustees, your tenure on the board cannot be viewed as a resume enhancement. If you do not have the passion of Boston College Alumnus Jack Connors, Peter Lynch, Darcel Clark, Charles Clough and others then please do what is right for Boston College and resign. If a financial commitment to the university entitled you on to the Board of Trustees then please resign.
Unprecedented Behavior
There have been common themes produced by President Leahy's public relations staff. One such theme looked to paint individuals as having mental issues. They tried to paint me in that very light but they made a mistake. I am fighting for the very soul of Boston College. I am part of the foundation of the university along with so many of my Eagle brethren. What my Eagle brethren and I did years ago allows today's leaders of Boston College to govern over the university. Our football program saved Boston College from going under financially. We did not have much by today's facilities standards, but we had great leadership at Boston College. We had a very supportive university president, an incredible athletic director, and we even knew the Board of Trustees members because they stood beside us all the way! The hallmark of Boston College then was utter humility, incredible support of our athletes and a clear mission statement of "Ever to Excel!" The focus of Boston College then was on humanity and positive development of the soul!
I received a phone call the other day. That caller described how the now retiring athletic director used a severance package to buy silence after telling people this former coach had mental issues. Character assassination appears to have been the weapon of choice -- just ask Al Skinner, Tom O'Brien, Jack Bicknell, Jr. and myself! Then there was the use of medical issues again to throw focus off of the real issue. A former football coach and fired women's basketball coach had medical issues is what has been reported. Does this pass the smell test? In announcing his retirement, the athletic director indicated a medical issue as one of his reasons for leaving. Funny thing is he has told many that he will be at BC for a very long time and just told a group of former football Eagles he had a 'lucrative' offer at another college but he and his wife wanted to stay at Boston College. True or not there is something lying in the weeds and it is not pretty!
A Freedom of the Press Concern
I am concerned about our cherished freedom of the press. Is there a First Amendment issue lurking in the background? Should the United States Justice Department be called in to look into 'potential' influencing of the media? After contacting Boston College's public relations staff and being told that there is no story (regarding my public communication to the athletic director) the media simply walks away. In the case of Bob Ryan (now the former Boston Globe sports writer) he kept attacking former men's basketball coach Al Skinner in the media. Is the control vehicle large advertising dollars buying influence in the Boston Media? We know that both the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald have consolidated print operations and losing market share to blogs. Why was former BC men's basketball coach Al Skinner tarred and feathered and called 'lazy' but the other fired and or forced out coaches did not suffer the same fate. What is at play here? I don't think it was race it was about revenge on someone who would not "kiss the of the now retiring athletic director butt" as was often requested.
No Racism Claimed but Something Is Wrong
Given what we know the retiring athletic director did to former coaches Al Skinner (3rd most actively 'winning' coach at the time in the ACC cannot even get a job interview; mortally wounded!) and Tom O'Brien (recipient of personal attack by our athletic director while at North Carolina State years after he left the BC head football coaching position) why was the retiring athletic director allowed to represent BC Athletics at the self serving induction of Lou Montgomery into the Boston College Hall of Fame at the football program's opening season game vs. Miami? All of this against the backdrop of African-American athletes transferring out of Boston College, and the removal of African-American staff from the athletic department staff? Why does Boston College afford this retiring employee the luxury to act like nothing is wrong? I cannot speak for everyone affected but regardless of race and or gender imagine the stress, personal hurt and or financial lose people experienced under this Boston College employee!
On August 11, 2012 in a BCInterruption.com blog story written by Brian Favat titled "Blaudschun Drops The 'Montel Harris Multiple Failed Drug Test' Storyline." If this story is true, who leaked it from within Boston College? Mark Blaudschun is the former Boston Globe BC beat writer.
On August 21, 2012, BCInterruption.com blog reported that the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey sat down with former Boston College RB Montel Harris and asked a question. Do you feel like Boston College painted you negatively? Montel's response, "Yeah, some people feel like things weren't handled the right way. But I can't let that get me down. Things were said the way they were said. But the people, who really need to know, know what happened and it's not what everyone thinks."
There is a toxic atmosphere that needs cleaning within Boston College. We need leadership from the Board of Trustees!
To the BC Board of Trustees: "Invoke the Leadership of J. Donald Monan & the Spirit of William J. Flynn"
I would recommend the following to the Board of Trustees:
Publically state the true reason(s) the athletic director is leaving Boston College.
Recognize and fully appreciate the damage done and the souls hurt by the lack of leadership of President William Leahy.
MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT: Set a timetable for the departure of President William Leahy; consider all avenues for his replacement, contemplate a non-priest if necessary.
MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT: End the office of Athletic Development in athletics. Centralize all donor and gift giving to the executive wing of the university.
Work with the NCAA to put in place new rules around donations: It would make sense to centralize the collection of donations and gifts through the University, and then re-apportioned out to athletics if earmarked as so. The NCAA put rules in place to guard against buying athletes for colleges. You have a situation where donors feel like they are owed something for their gifts. They lose sight of the meaning of the gift. Because BC is so intensely focused on donor and gift giving we have seen what can happen to an athletic program where the quest for money opens the door to disaster and misbehavior at the highest levels of a university! We need to let college athletics be about competition and excellence.
Establish an outside investigation headed by an individual outside the university of impeccable credentials & report the findings publically.
A gag order must be placed on executives of the university; they must know their actions are further hurting the effort to fix this!
MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT: Issue a public apology to the many former coaches that were unjustly fired and or pushed out.
MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT: Issue a public apology to present employees for the climate they had to work under.
Provide counseling to employees who had to work under this incredibly demeaning and harsh ecosystem.
Make those injured by the allegations whole financially.
Meet with former coaches to begin to heal the extraordinary pain and in some cases suffering they endured.
MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT: Understand how and why a former BC women's field hockey coach was unjustly fired and bring her back.
MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT: Issue a private apology to Men's Hockey Coach Jerry York for an allegation if true is quite sickening.
MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT: Set a board level committee to oversee athletics and hire a former Boston College sports alumnus as our new athletic director.
MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT: Publically state the board's commitment to NCAA D1A athletics.
Scale back the amount of athletic teams to 15 (29 currently) concentrate on rebuilding the revenue generators & bring back BC men's lax as part of the mix!
MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT: Removal of the retiring athletic director's name from our Hall of Fame.

Q: Javascript - Replace ONLY text generally I want to replace only the text of a given element and it should be it's own function.
For example, something like this:

        Edit me!

should be replaced to this:

        Oh yeah

It's not always the first child, so I can't use firstChild.
I really don't have any idea, how to achieve this. I have to search for the lowest element and have to change it's text, but in this example, it always finds the i tag.
That's the function I wrote.
const get_object = element => {
    if (!element.hasAttribute("data-liner-stop-search") && element.childElementCount === 1){
        return get_object(element.firstElementChild)
    }
    return element
};

Here's another example:

        Username

.text-one-liner is targeted and "Username" should be changed.

A: You can do this by filtering on the nodeType property. Note that whitespace used to format the code also appears as child nodes. You might want to filter on those too as in my example below (node.nodeValue.trim() !== "").

document.querySelector('#thisDivIsGettingTargeted span').childNodes.forEach((node) => {
  if(node.nodeType === Node.TEXT_NODE && node.nodeValue.trim() !== "") {
    node.nodeValue = "new text";
  }
});
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.11.2/css/all.min.css">

        Edit me!

A: If (and only if) your function always returns the i tag element (as you said) and your text node is just before that i, try this
const get_object = element => {
    if (!element.hasAttribute("data-liner-stop-search") && element.childElementCount === 1){
        return get_object(element.firstElementChild)
    }
    return element.previousSibling;
};

Or you can loop through all the child elements of your targeted element (using .getElementsByTagName("*")) and check for the nodeType of the element. nodeType of a text node is 3. If there's only one text node among all the children, the following (generic) condition inside a loop will work
(updated as per @josh.trow's suggestion)
if (element[i].nodeType === 3 && !element[i].innerText.trim().length)
    return element[i]

You can find a reference for nodeType here.

Photo By Chris Ahn: Jojo Aguilar explains the importance of a smooth dojo area on March 4, 2020 in Self-Defense class, Kin. 217.
Judo Class Fights Viral Obstacle
By Online City News on June 11, 2020
By Nelson Cruz
Most classes at Los Angeles City College have converted from face to face to online classes.
It may be a tad bit easier for professors who do not teach kinesiology classes. A class like self-defense can be more challenging because it requires students to physically participate in what is being taught.
In the "virtual dojo," Sensei Jojo Aguilar sounds determined. The self-defense instructor talked about the transition he and his class had to go through during these tough times.
"Switching to the online class platform is definitely "uncharted waters," but not impossible," Aguilar said. "At first glance, the assumption is that the self-defense class is entirely physical; however, although we do change the students' physical fitness, we also have to change the way they think and react to their environment."
We're fighters in KIN-217 Self-Defense Skills. In our class, we make students tougher mentally and physically. We don't let a setback like a worldwide pandemic stop us from being successful.
JoJo Aguilar L.A. City College Martial Arts Instructor
Aguilar describes how he can replace the physical component of his self-defense class when he teaches online. He has an extensive background in martial arts instruction. Aside from the courses he teaches to college students, he also instructs younger martial arts students in the LACC Community Services Program. He adapts his experience and applies it online.
"In order to change their cognitive behavior, we have to offer situations and choices on how to react to those situations," he said. "Because we switched to an online platform, we have to cut back on one-on-one "demonstrate and correct" lessons and increase the psychological learning aspect of self-defense."
Students must show respect to the practice area and judo.
Japanese martial arts are a specialty for the LACC sensei, but he also teaches kids less formal, but practical skills in a class called "Quick and Dirty Self Defense" for the LACC Community Services Courses. He knows modifies his classes. Sensei Aguilar explains why the switch to an online format may not be that difficult for him and his students.
"This a switch in the platform is similar to what happens when you experience an injury in the martial arts," Aguilar said. "Just because you cannot physically participate doesn't mean that you have to stop learning. Asking our students to think about Self-Defense can be just as effective as physically practicing Self-Defense. This whole situation with Covid-19 may be new but it is not entirely different from any challenges we've had before."

One of the biggest challenges in overcoming a substance use disorder is the initial withdrawal period. To help smooth the way to recovery, Gallus Detox Centers in Scottsdale, Arizona, offers IV therapy. Under the experienced guidance of Patrick J. Gallus, DO, the team clears your body of harmful toxins through the fastest and safest route available with IV infusions. To learn more about how IV therapy can help you detox successfully, call or use the confidential online booking tool.
Why is IV therapy the best way to detox?
In most detox settings, medical professionals rely on oral medications to ease the physical symptoms of withdrawal. At Gallus Detox Centers, the team takes a more direct approach with IV therapy, which ensures that you're getting the resources you need to successfully rid your body of harmful and addictive toxins.
At the heart of this technique is bioavailability, which dictates how quickly your body absorbs the medication. When Dr. Gallus administers your medications and nutrients intravenously, you benefit from 100% bioavailability since everything he delivers goes directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract, which dilutes whatever passes through.
What are the advantages of IV therapy?
Taken orally, your body may absorb only a fraction of the medication, sometimes even as little as 15%.
Because your body metabolizes the IV therapy more quickly than it would with oral therapies, you improve more quickly, getting you on the road to recovery with more hope. All too often, people throw in the towel halfway through detox because of the discomfort, which is what the team at Gallus Detox Centers aims to avoid through IV therapy.
Lastly, IV therapy is more effective and safe since the doctor can quickly adjust dosing and address any symptoms you may be having almost instantaneously. This is important as your needs may be different depending on your substance use history and your physiological makeup. For example, if you were a heavy user, the doctor may have to increase your dosage of the detox medications while lighter users typically need less. Through IV therapy, Dr. Gallus can easily tailor the right therapy to your unique situation.
What can IV therapy help address?
If you'd like to explore how IV therapy can help you or a loved one detox more safely and quickly, simply call or use the confidential online booking tool.

We are an independent, family-owned and operated business, practicing the art of cone baking for over 95 years.
We've been owned and operated by one family since 1918. Our employees are a part of that family. It explains how we have managed to build a very successful operation. Our success comes from considering the needs of our employees and their families. We offer flexible work hours which enable our employees to reconcile their personal schedules with our production schedules. The results have been greater efficiency and happier employees.
Our philosophy is to make our product better than any other company does. Ice cream cones are that product. First of all, we have developed our own cone ovens which are built right here in our plant. We use a time-tested family recipe that has been passed from one generation to the next. We pay close attention to every detail of mixing the batter, baking the cones, and then packaging them. Even in the fast-paced, automated world of today, we rely on personal attention to ensure quality.
While it is generally acknowledged that ice cream street vendors (hokey-pokey vendors) in New York City were selling different types of ice cream cones as early as the 1890's, the ice cream cone's official invention and immediate rise to popularity happened at the St. Louis 1904 World's Fair. As such, 1904 is the "official" birth year of the ice cream cone. At the fair, the stories surrounding the invention of the cone are many and involve several different vendors at the fair, including immigrants from Lebanon/Syria and Turkey. However, the IAICM (International Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers) proclaims the story of Ernest A. Hamwi, a Syrian immigrant, to be the strongest candidate for the title of official inventor of the ice cream cone.
Mr. Hamwi was a pastry vendor at the fair, selling "zalabia", a crisp, sugary, warm waffle made over an open fire in a waffle iron. His stand was next to one of the 50 ice cream vendors at the fair. Mr. Hamwi took his waffles, while still warm and pliable, and, wrapping them into the shape of a cone, gave them to the next-door ice cream vendor who filled them with ice cream. The success of this wonderful treat was immediate. People called them World's Fair Cornucopias.


I am looking for a couple of industrial sites in or around Pwllheli circa 1928 for both my great grandfathers, One is on a marriage certificate as a fireman in the gasworks and the other worked in a oilcake factory, Also in 1928 thru to 1933 my grandfather was shown as a Automobile Association Road Scout, would that be a motorcycle or a pushbike ? and would there have been an AA headquarters ? I hope this is not too many questions to ask all in one go.
The gasworks was immediately opposite the railway station.

Great deal on a great remote. Logitech keeps making newer, fancier remotes but I keep getting this exact same one because, well, it works well, it's easy to use and the button layout is logical for DVR use. We beat the hell out of these remotes and I wind up buying a new one every few years. Used the last one I had this morning for setting up the man cave's new HTPC. Time to stock up before Logitech decides to pull the plug on this remote!
NOTE: This is still eligible to be shipped before Christmas for most.

Good deal if you don't need the newest model, and there does not look to be a large difference between the G900 and G903, unless you need/want the new charging system.

Home 360 Migrants to affluent nations may be healthier than the native-born
Migrants to affluent nations may be healthier than the native-born
Lisa Rapaport, Reuters
International migrants who relocate to high-income countries to work, study or join family members are less likely to die prematurely than people born in their new homelands, a research review suggests.
For the analysis, researchers examined data from 96 studies with mortality estimates for more than 15.2 million international migrants in 92 countries. Overall, migrants were about 30 percent less likely to experience premature death from all causes than other people in the general populations of the countries where they moved, the analysis found.
"Migrants to rich countries have lower rates of death due to most major disease areas compared to the general population," said lead study author Robert Aldridge of University College London in the UK.
"We know from UN data that the majority of migrants to these rich countries tend to be moving for work or study," Aldridge said by email.
About 258 million people worldwide reside outside their country of birth, accounting for more than 3 percent of the world's population, researchers note in The Lancet.
In many high-income nations, public perception that migrants place an undue burden on society in general and on health resources in particular has led to restrictions on migrants' access to care, the authors write.
But the current analysis suggests that, if anything, migrants may use fewer health resources than native-born residents, Aldridge said by email.
The only causes of death that were more common among migrants were infectious disease and external causes like homicide, the analysis found.
Immigrants were 28 percent more likely to die of external causes and more than twice as likely to die of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, hepatitis and HIV than people who were born in their adopted homelands.
However, immigrants were less likely to die from a variety of other causes including heart disease, digestive disorders, endocrine or circulatory problems, mental health disorders, cancers or diseases of the respiratory or nervous systems.
Both men and women appeared to have a longevity advantage after migration. Male immigrants were 28 percent less likely to die prematurely from all causes than native-born men, while female immigrants were 25 percent less likely to die prematurely.
The vast majority of the studies in the analysis focused on migration to high-income countries, not on refugees or asylum seekers. Researchers also excluded studies from their analysis that focused just on migrants with serious or chronic health problems or just on maternal and infant health outcomes.
It may be, however, that migrants in the study were healthier than people in their native countries who didn't migrate, said Anjali Borhade, director of the Disha Foundation in Gurugram, India, and coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study.
"Educated migrants have better sources of income and being healthy doesn't affect their choice to migrate," Borhade said by email. "Also, educated migrants have better living or working conditions and their health status is similar to the host populations, both for risks as well as outcomes."
Infectious disease and homicide deaths may be higher among migrants than other people in the general population due to unfavorable conditions immigrants face at work and in their new communities, Borhade added. That's because many young, relatively healthy migrants may take low-paying and dangerous jobs and only be able to afford housing in subpar conditions.
"Hazardous jobs and low living conditions increase their risk of dying due to external causes and infectious diseases," Borhade said. "However, since migrants are healthier to begin with, their mortality due to other causes might be lower."

Move D/Namlook: Traveling the Silk Route – EAR/Rational Music!
Recorded live at David's reSource studio in Heidelberg Dave and Pete this time explore travelling the silk route in a journey through sound. Jazz, oriental sounds, enviromental ambient and innovative percussions relate to the silk route as a syno- nym for a trade and cultural transmission route winding through different civilizations as well as various landscapes connecting East and West Asia. The musical sequences are combined in a superb way, which portray the links of traders, merchants, pilgrims, monks, nomads and urban dwellers traveling from China to the Mediterranean Sea during various periods of time on the route. The rich and inventive music is a union of cultural elements reflecting the Silk Road which was a signifi- cant factor in the development of the great civilizations and helped to lay the foundations for the modern world.


Senator Michael H. Ranzenhofer is advocating for a new set of common-sense solutions to address New York's ailing business climate so that more hard-working families can live, work and thrive in Western New York. The Re-Open New York for Business Plan is in response to Senate Democrats outright rejection of the Amazon HQ2 project, costing New Yorkers 25,000 new jobs and $27.5 billion in revenue.
The new plan would help reinvigorate the state economy and establish countless job opportunities for middle-class workers, while beginning to undo some of the damage Senate Democrats have done by stopping the Amazon HQ2 project.
