Bridgewater, MA - First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church, 50 School St., Bridgewater, MA will host an Empty Bowls Soup Dinner on Saturday, March 13, serving from 6:00pm – 7:30pm. Admission is $10 and includes a hand-painted bowl, soup, bread and a beverage. There will be raffle tickets sold for a variety of prizes, and from 6:30pm – 8:30pm there will be musical entertainment. All proceeds will go to the Bridgewater Food Pantry and the church's MainSpring House Lunch Fund.
Empty Bowls is a grassroots effort to raise money and awareness in an effort to end hunger and food insecurity. Each group that participates in the Empty Bowls project works with their community to create their own event. First Parish U.U. Church wanted to incorporate the arts in their hunger relief project. The church invited the community to help paint 100 soup bowls at three painting parties held in February. The bowls will be sold at the dinner event. They will serve as reminders to guests that on this one occasion they chose to do something to alleviate hunger in their community, and they could chose to do so again at any time.
Please call Ellen Bordman, Director of Religious Education, at 508-697-2525 for more information.
The appointing authority would be either the Board of Selectman (BoS) or the Town Council (TC), who would have the authority to hire and fire the town manager. The Town Manager's duties are the same under each charter. The major difference is that under the Open Town Meeting / Board of Selectman Charter, the town manager shares executive authority with the Board of Selectman, whereas under the Town Council Charter, the Town Council acts as the Legislative Branch and the Town Manager is the single chief administrative officer.
The town manager is responsible for conducting the daily affairs of the town. The town manager appoints all department heads with the ratification of the Board of Selectman or Town Council. The Town Manager also has the authority to fire the department heads he or she appoints. In other words, the Town Manager is given the authority to build his or her team, and part of the Town Manager's evaluation each year is based on how well they have built their team and how well that team functions. Note: the TM does not hire the individuals within departments; that authority is vested with each department head.
The Town Manager appoints all members to boards and committees. However, the Town Manager is required to form a citizens' advisory group to help recruit and evaluate potential members to the boards and committees. The Town Manager is also required to develop and publish written criteria for membership to the boards. The Town Manager is required to submit recommendations to the Board of Selectman or Town Council for ratification.
The Town Manager coordinates the activities of all departments and boards to ensure that the policies of the Board of Selectman or Town Council are adhered to. The Town Manager also recommends policy to the BoS/TC for their action, and once policy is made, carries it out. The Town Manager is there to help the department heads execute their duties and keep the BoS/TC informed as to what the department heads need to do their jobs.
The Town Manager is responsible for putting a financial team in place, preparing and submitting the annual budget by working with the department heads, financing committee, and the financial team. The Town Manager is responsible for developing recommendations for an employee compensation plan as well as personnel policies, contract negotiations, long range financial and capital planning. The Town Manager will also develop a system to preserve and publish financial information, so as to make government as transparent as possible.
In essence, the Town Manager is a facilitator, a coordinator, a leader, and a person with vision and ideas to make the town a better place for all. He or she is a professional who has clearly defined responsibilities and authority, and is held accountable through an annual evaluation process. He or she operates within a system of checks and balances and works to promote what is in the best interest of the residents of the town.

This column will address various aspects of the charters each week.

Questions and comments will be answered directly or in a subsequent column. A program by the same name will also air on BTV starting February 7th.
Bridgewater's 54 original settlers in1650 governed themselves by following a loose set of by-laws that were adopted and changed throughout the years. All residents were required to attend Town Meeting under the threat of being fined if they didn't. Bridgewater, unlike many towns, instead of charting it's own course eventually relied on state laws and local by-laws to govern itself. This worked when the population was small and the needs less complex.
Simply stated, a charter is a constitution for Bridgewater. The proposed charters are simply a codification of how the town will govern itself in the future. Approval by the state legislature is required to ensure charters conform to state law. Bridgewater's charters are in the process of being approved by the legislature and residents will vote Yes or No on either charter in April.
What will a charter do for Bridgewater?
· outlines the specific rights of citizens to put forth initiatives and petitions, and more that will be addressed in future articles.
Suffice to say the charters are a road map as to how the town must conduct its business.
How were out charters written?
· consulted with state experts on charters.
The proposed charters reflect the combined wisdom of those individuals and organizations involved in charter development and managing a town under a charter. The best practices reflected in the charters are those modern practices of management that towns should be using to govern even if they don't have a charter.
Both charters professionalize the management of the town by putting a town manager in place who has the education, experience, and the skill set to manage the operations of a complex $40 million dollar business like Bridgewater. It holds one individual accountable for implementing the policies that are made by the elected Board of Selectman/Town Council and removes the day-to-day management of the daily business of the town from those elected entities.
It should also be noted that a charter is a "Living and Breathing Document", created through a collective, consensus driven process and as such it will never be "Perfect" in everyone's eyes. Therefore it is mandatory that the charter be reviewed every six years for potential updates. It can also be changed sooner through an amendment process, with input from the citizens of Bridgewater.
Next column will address the town manager, responsibilities and authority.

AYS provides site development services from site feasibility studies to final design, these studies and designs may include accessing the septic capacity of the site or sewer connection feasibility, site access and parking and utility issues. Evaluation may include water systems for both domestic and fire protection, drainage studies for site and/or basin analysis, roadway and driveway design to determine access issues and traffic impact studies to evaluate the possible vehicle routing impacts and site selection sensitivity. Our final designs incorporate all or some of the above-mentioned items depending on the site and client needs.
AYS has provided designs for hundreds of systems. Our design services cover initial site evaluation to the permitted plans through construction services. Our designs have ranged from a standard in ground system for a single family residence to a large school and multiuse facility covering sewerage pretreatment including ultra violet treatment and dispersed via drip irrigation lines.
AYS has provided drainage design in support of an interchange design for CalTrans. The work involved analysis of the existing drainage system and developing a drainage scheme to work with the new interchange and the existing drainage system. Evaluate and design a left turn pocket on an existing rural highway. The design included an evaluation various speed studies performed in the area, and an analysis of probable vehicle queuing and gap acceptance. Once the analysis was complete the design involved localized widening and realignment of the roadway.
AYS has developed the Tentative Maps and Improvement Plans for a variety of sites. Our work during the tentative map stage is typically to identify the extents of site development, including site grading, site drainage and site utility requirements, and if necessary off-site improvements. Our Tentative Map work is tailored to the clients' needs and the permitting agencies requirements. Once the Tentative Map is approved, AYS can develop the site improvement plans as required but typically include site roadways, drainage systems and sewer systems. Plot plans include the individual driveways and site utilities including sewer and water.
AYS has performed parking studies and analysis as part of larger projects or as separate item. We have laid out parking areas for on-street parking and off-street for houseboats, schools and shopping centers and residential buildings. Our analysis can include Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and are typically tailored to the clients and agency requirements. The parking design typically incorporates the requirements identified during the evaluation phase.
AYS has developed many sites with pollution prevention being a design goal. These designs include grassy drainage swale areas for site runoff, minimizing storm water concentrations and contour grading to direct water away from sensitive areas. AYS has developed Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans for a variety of sites and is familiar with erosion control requirements and the NPDES permitting issues.


Today, access to the internet has opened a lot of new business opportunities for creative people. If you can create amazing, eye-catching content for the web, then you have a very good chance of becoming a successful web-entrepreneur, or webpreneur. Content is king, as they say. So it becomes vital to have a content creation strategy that actually works for you.
On the internet, you'll find a lot of people giving a lot of different tips and suggestions for developing your online content creation strategy. While it is all good advice, it can also be a bit overwhelming if you are a beginner. So, I like to keep it simple.
Your online business could be through a blog, or through a Facebook page, or through Instagram, or YouTube, or whatever. It doesn't matter. The same key principles apply for creating great content, regardless of the medium.
Now I have a blog. So I'm going to write this post from a blogger's point of view. But you can apply the same basic concepts of content creation for whichever platform you are on.
How to Create Amazing Content to Grow Your Business?
Blogging is all about content. You have content to share, that's why you have a blog. And if you have a blog, you naturally want readers. But readers stick around only when you share quality content.
A smart blog header alone will not make people remember your blog if you don't have good content in it as well. Even a catchy blog/domain name won't work unless it's backed up by genuine content.
So how do you ensure that your content gives a positive experience to the reader?
How do you create content that keeps your readers coming back for more?
How do you design a strategy for creating content that converts your visitors into loyal readers?
You do so by answering these five questions.
Yupp, you read it right. That's all you need to do. These FIVE questions make up the world's simplest content creation strategy!
Does it provide anything of worth to the reader?
If it's an information sharing post, then does it answer the reader's questions?
If it's a personal post, then does it tell the reader a little bit more about you?
Is it inspiring, informative, or interesting?
In short, does it add value to the reader's life in any way?
Will the person who is looking for this content, be able to find it?
Or even from your own blog.
Have you linked to it from suitable pages?
Have you provided a search option within your blog?
In other words, is your blog content "Search Engine Optimized"?
Does the layout of your post allow the reader to quickly scan through the important points?
Is your content free from spelling mistakes and grammatical errors?
Does the text stand out clearly against the background?
Have you used headings, bullet points and paragraphs judiciously?
Have you used a font that is easy to read?
In general, shorter paragraphs, with enough spacing between them, go easier on the eyes. So does refraining from the use of all-caps.
Have you been able to convey clearly what you intended?
Or is there space for misunderstanding or confusion?
Have you used words that CAN be understood by the people your content is meant for?
In other words, is your content simple enough for your target audience?
The keywords here are "clarity" and "simplicity".
By "original", I don't mean "first-time-creation" here.
I mean the presentation style, the approach, the interpretation, the invisible extra quality that each person brings to the table by being him/herself.
Even an old idea can be articulated in a new way, such that it provides a new perspective to the reader.
Creating quality content requires passion and discipline. Content that reflects your enthusiasm and dedication compels the reader to come back.
Yes, the design, branding and social media engagement are also important, but first, you need to work out an effective content creation strategy, that allows you to create amazing online content, day-after-day, to help you grow your business.
What has been your experience regarding online content?
What type of content attracts you towards a blog again and again?
What type of content turns you off?
What would you say about the content of this post?
This is my third post for A to Z 2019.
Very valid points..very helpful too...fonts, presentation, connect, every aspect is so important... If I may add, I think the Grammar is also very important...while I'm no grammar nazi, a great post with bad grammar does put me off!
Agree with the points you have shared. Some blogs are so reader unfriendly that you close the blog tab in frustration. There's one layout on Blogger blogs which gets on my nerves. You want to scroll the page down and you just cant do it as some other blog widgets come in the way! Then white font on black background.... less said the better!
Excellent advice and topic. I try to follow those guidelines.
Great points there Chicky...I agree that content is king. I find that if content is something I relate to, I will be back. Design is great for first impressions but what keeps you there is content.
That's quite a few tips that every blogger should follow :) Liked your post!
@the little princess: Oh yes! Grammar is so important! And those blogs that have text in SMS/twitter shortcuts are so annoying too!
Thanks, Sue. I'm glad the post resonated with you. Yes, that happens with me too. If I sit on a post for a couple of days, I end up editing it quite a bit before finally publishing it.
@Shilpa: Oh don't even get me started on white text against black background! GOD!! And those techni-color blogs, remember? They were quite popular in 2009-10. Which blogger layout are you talking about? I think I haven't come across it yet.
Absolutely, Molly! Content is king!
Exactly, Sanch! Design might lure you in once, but only content will bring you there again!
You are absolutely correct. Content matters a lot, rest is presentation and marketing i guess.
Great points. Content is king, but the king has to well dressed or he will be abandoned by his people :) I like blogs with simple themes and great content, don't like colored fonts and varying font sizes in a post.
Agree with all the points you mentioned.
Good points, all. ☺ My aim is largely to entertain, but sometimes also to educate and enlighten.
Informative post. While writing the blog, I don't think I remember most of this but I'm going to be mindful going forward.
This is a very informative post. My main problem is that when I write a post I tend to be extremely explanatory. I have this fixation to try and make everything crystal clear to the reader. This tends to make my posts very long. Another problem is I find that taking SEO aspects like keywords into consideration while writing tends to hamper my flow of words and writing style. I am working on these issues now and trying to sort them out.
Yes, So gud to find you.
These 5 basic questions should surely help frame a good blogpost, Chicky. Love how you explained it so simply.
So helpful! And very clearly organized, I like that you can get the gist by skimming or read more for further information.
I found your post very useful. I am saving it for reference. I do keep few things in mind but thanks for additional points that we need to take care of!
That gives a lot of food for thought. The 5 pointers should certainly be ticked off when creating content. Thanks for the nudge.

StreamHDNow is an adware malicious browser extension that disguised itself as an application that can be used to view various HD videos. It's offered for free and might seem like an absolutely harmless tool at first, but you need to be aware that it's not actually the case and that your system is put under very real danger the moment this threat is successful in infiltrating it. You're forced to deal with random redirects to random pages and having to endure slowdowns and crashes that come because of your CPU and RAM being overloaded by advertisements.
Said ads appear thanks to the technology called "virtual layer" and there're so many of them being displayed on every site you go to that you can't even see the content you originally came for. They're there to produce web traffic and bring revenue to the creators of this malware and you can basically forget about using your computer as normal while this happens. Plus, your online accounts, bank accounts and digital wallets can get infiltrated, as your passwords, phone numbers and credit card details get collected and transferred to third parties.
For those reasons, malicious browser extensions like StreamHDNow shouldn't be trusted and need to be kept away. To do this, you need to limit your visits to dubious sources and choose a Custom method when installing new software, deselecting all the unnecessary components in the process. Adding to that, gather some information on new browser extensions or plugins before installing them, limit your downloads to sites that have been proven to be trustworthy and it should be enough to save you from having to deal with issues that threats such as this one bring along with them.
You can easily remove StreamHDNow adware from your system using one of the effective anti-malware tools listed below, or you can follow our detailed step-by-step manual removal guide.
If you have an antivirus software running on your computer, please check for its updates and scan your system. If the problem still persists, download and install one of the recommended anti-malware tools to automatically remove StreamHDNow and other malware threats from your PC.
We've created this step-by-step removal guide to help you manually remove StreamHDNow and other similar security threats from your computer. Please carefully follow all the steps listed in the instruction below. We've attached detailed screenshots and video guides for your convenience.

Abbas requests UN membership despite US veto threat
September 24, 2011 In: Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addresses the UN on Friday. (UN/Marco Castro)
UNITED NATIONS (JWN and agencies) – Ignoring US President Barack Obama's veto threat, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas formally applied for Palestinian membership in the UN on Friday. His move came as a blatant rejection of appeals by the United States and Israel that the only way to achieve peace bases on two states for two peoples is by direct negotiations.
Abbas handed a letter requesting membership to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon shortly before delivering his speech to the General Assembly. Ban said he would submit the request to the Security Council, where debate on it would start on Monday.
Intensive efforts are ongoing by the US and Israel to achieve a majority vote of nine countries on the council against Abbas's request. Should this not be forthcoming, Obama has promised to veto the measure. In any event, the council may consider the measure for a matter of months before it comes to a vote.
In his address, which was followed by a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Abbas took a belligerent stance, accusing Israel of "ethnic cleansing," targeting Palestinians for assassination, strengthening its "racist annexation wall" and carrying out excavations that threaten Islamic holy places.
He reiterated his precondition to negotiations that Israel freeze all settlement building; a concession that Israel already made once before for a 10-month freeze that did not coax Abbas back to the negotiating table.
To tumultuous applause, Abbas made a revealing reference to the address by his late predecessor, Yasser Arafat, to the General Assembly in 1974, when he raised a real olive branch and waved it before the gathering. Abbas declared that an olive branch is still being held out by the Palestinians—but ominously did not mention that Arafat had worn a pistol at his side, and threatened to use it if the olive branch failed to work.
At least two members of the Israeli delegation, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Minister of Public Affairs and the Diaspora Yuli Edelstein, walked out during Abbas's speech. US Ambassador Susan Rice conspicuously refused to applaud it.
Abbas repeatedly invoked the theme of "63 years of Nakba," a Palestinian term meaning catastrophe and used solely in reference to the creation of the State of Israel. Despite protesting his desire for peace—"Our efforts are not aimed at isolating Israel or delegitimizing it, we only aim to delegitimize the settlement activity"—Abbas asserted his commitment to a unity government with Hamas, a terrorist entity committed to Israel's destruction.
The Palestinian leader made reference to Muslim and Christian ties to the Holy Land—where Jesus was born and where Muslims believe Muhammad ascended to heaven—but conspicuously left out any reference to the Jewish connection to the land where it gave the world the Bible.
Netanyahu presented a vision of the two-state solution that was so different from Abbas's rhetoric, that it seemed unlikely the two sides would resume direct peace negotiations in the near future.
Sparing no punches in his reply to Abbas, Netanyahu accused the Palestinians of racism and ethnic cleansing in their call for a state with no Jewish settlers. He pointedly used the term the Nazis applied to such a situation: "Judenrein."
Netanyahu said the Palestinians want statehood, but are not prepared to negotiate in a spirit of compromise to achieve true peace. "The truth is, so far the Palestinians have refused to negotiate," he said. "The truth is, the Palestinians want a state without peace."
"I extend my hand, the hand of Israel in peace," Netanyahu addressed the Palestinians. "I hope you will grasp it…If we genuinely want peace, let us meet in this building today." His offer was not taken.

Epilepsy Support Groups Give Us Superhero Strength
By Tim Ulmer
Last updated: August 2022
Bookmark for later
Reactions 0 reactions
Even superheroes with amazing powers find enemies who are too overpowering to fight by themselves, but they're not too proud to team up.
Being an epilepsy warrior
I was literally on the edge of my seat watching Ironman, Spiderman, Dr. Strange, Captain America, Black Widow, and the Incredible Hulk all fight together in "Avengers: Endgame." (And forgive me if I left someone out!) So why must we as mortal human beings with epilepsy – who haven't been bit by a radioactive spider, been zapped with excessive gamma rays, or are billionaire defense contractors – think that we must be equally strong? That's a foolish notion to think I've got to put on an equally virulent façade, that my needs aren't any different from anyone who doesn't have epilepsy.
And such comradery like the Avengers is something I still need. If an epilepsy support group isn't already part of your lifestyle, it's in your interest to make it so.
I needed a place to vent
My complex partial seizures don't grab as much attention as other people's tonic-clonic gran mals, but they have cost me enough jobs that I've had to adapt to being an entrepreneur to get some professional respect. Not driving for 31 years, there have been times I felt that I was under house arrest when I couldn't get a milkshake or get a haircut on my own.
Those frustrations can make my blood boil, and I can't have that because such stress only provokes more seizures! I'd certainly like to gripe about it and blow off steam. But my wife has to work for us, people working for me only want their pay, and my closest friends are from a Bible study group with a broad mix of problems of their own.
Support groups for epilepsy
When I was in my late 20s, I was a volunteer for the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago (an EFA affiliate). The director asked me if I'd like to be on a board that oversaw its dozen-or-so support groups, and I accepted her invitation.
Although I never attended any of them, I recall participants praising us for creating places for them to come to where firstly, they didn't have to put on false pretenses that they didn't have problems. Secondly, they loved gathering knowledge from other people's experiences (and in those days, it was more about medications because VNSs, RNSs, and lobectomies hadn't been invented). Finally, they made friends who they could call when either they were having a bad day or they wanted some more information.
A particularly hard time with my epilepsy
My "Epileptic Armageddon" in 1991 started with having a seizure while driving, colliding with a semi on an expressway. The cop chuckled, "You shoulda been killed!" But I walked away with only a cracked rib. However, it cost me my job, my apartment, and the humiliation of being a grown man moving in with my parents.
And moving hundreds of miles away to the village where they lived, but I knew no one, cost me a circle of dear friends! I watched TV all day long, and when stations went off the air after midnight and I wasn't tired, I'd go for a walk. There's one night I'll always remember.
The stars were bright as crystals. I shouted – yes, hollered, since I was on a country road away from any homes – "God! Why are you doing this to me? I've always lived by the 'Golden Rule.' Wasn't that enough?" Tears burned my cheeks in the winter wind as I waited for a shooting star that might indicate that I'd been heard. Nothing appeared.
I survived my Armageddon because one Chicago friend called me every evening. She repeated the same message every call, "Tim, it was not your time to die. God has a mission for you."
Starting local epilepsy support groups
Making a long story short, I started grad school at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale the next year. My old friends at the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago trained me on how to start a satellite support group for them since many Chicago students were enrolled there. It was smaller than anything in Chicago, but the members and I found it refreshing!
Years later, life brought my wife and me to Atlanta. Despite her care, I needed someone who could relate to my problems. Since there weren't any support groups to be found, I started one. The atrocious Atlanta mass transit has been an obstacle, but in over a decade, I bet our meetings have helped over 50 people.
People savor the comradery, and we've occasionally had guest speakers, including stress therapists, EMTs, career coaches, dieticians, and a safety dog trainer. The pandemic forced us to meet virtually, but that brought in epilepsy sojourners and caregivers from 6 additional states!
Feeling understood and finding new resources
It was at a support group meeting when most of us first watched a safety dog do its job when a member's seizure interrupted things. It was at meetings when I first heard of VNS and RNS implants and lobectomies, and could observe members' progress monthly. It was another member who first made me aware my computer display might be one of my triggers. And another member is currently exciting us about working with specialists who say that epilepsy can be caused by problems with her immune system!
It might meet just one night a month, but we've developed friendships that go beyond and have helped with job leads. NO ONE is feeling like a shipwrecked castaway. Sure, we continue having down days, but we get solace and encouragement from one another. And we now end it with a prayer that we're not fighting epilepsy alone.
Where to find epilepsy support groups
Be selective. I've visited some smaller support groups that were nothing more than pity parties! Members whined about how bad their last seizures were. It's expected to talk about those times, but others should take an interest and offer suggestions that might make a difference.
Your state's Epilepsy Foundations, medical schools, and your epileptologist are good places to start inquiries for a support group. And when you find a good support group, you might just discover that you've infiltrated the Avengers!

2 more Colorado Springs TV broadcasters are on the move | Arts & Entertainment
By Susan Graham On Jul 24, 2022
Two different local broadcasters from two different TV stations announced they are moving on.
On Feb. 19, KOAA-TV reporter/weekend anchor Jessica Barreto, who worked at the station for over three years, announced that she was leaving on her social media channels.
"I'm thrilled to announce that I will be starting a new job as a reporter at ActionNewsJax in Jacksonville, Florida next month," Barreto posted. "It's been a dream of mine to report in my home state of Florida, so I couldn't wait to be this new chapter right away. Wish me luck as I begin my cross-country move in the middle of winter."
On Feb. 26, KRDO-TV reporter and "Good Morning Colorado" host Hanna Knutson, who joined the station in 2017, announced that she was leaving the station on her social media channels.
"Today is my last day on 'Good Morning Colorado,'" Knutson wrote on Facebook. "I came here 3 1/2 years ago in my little Honda Civic with big dreams. I will miss my KRDO crew and living in Souther Colorado. As for what's next, I'm taking a leap of faith and trusting in God's plan. I'm going to enjoy time off with my husband and will be sleeping in."
The departure of Knutson and Barreto comes shortly after three others local broadcasters announced they were leaving Colorado Springs. In early February, long-term KKTV anchor Diana Derby announced that she was leaving broadcasting to work in real estate.

На протяжении всей истории было множество отображений пауков в общественной культуре, мифологии и символизме. Начиная с древнегреческой мифологии и кончая африканским фольклором, образ пауков были использован человеком на различных предметах, а также в киноиндустрии: например, паучиха Шелоб в кинотрилогии «Властелин колец» и образ помеси человека с пауком в мультфильме и фильме «Человек-паук». Другие паукообразные персонажи в мультипликации — женщина-трансформер Чёрная Вдова из канадско-американской дилогии «Эра зверей» (), включающей мультсериалы «Звериные Войны» и «Зверороботы», и Эйрахнида из мультсериала «Трансформеры: Прайм» (само имя последней —  — можно перевести как «воздушное паукообразное», поскольку она, кроме формы паука, имела альт-форму вертолёта).

•	Паук — главный злодей стихотворной сказки Корнея Чуковского «Муха-Цокотуха».

•	В «Волшебнике Изумрудного города» Александра Волкова фигурирует гигантский Паук, обитающий в лесу и высасывающий кровь у животных.

•	Хромоног  — персонаж «Приключений Чиполлино» Джанни Родари, паук-почтальон, разносящий письма в почтовой сумке из паутины.

•	В повести Кира Булычёва «Гай-до» фигурируют гигантские пауки, обитающие в подземельях планеты Пять-четыре.

•	Джинджер — персонаж мультсериала «Битлджус», паучиха, танцующая чечётку.

•	В фильме «Один дома» фигурирует ручной паук Аксель.

° обезьяна-паук — и другие его представители, расы аракна,  смесь паука и обезьяны, один из супергероев, Бена Теннисана, из мультсериала Бен-10: Инопланетная сила, и франшизы Бен-10.

Согласно древнегреческому мифу, девушка Арахна, замечательная ткачиха, рискнула вызвать на состязание в данном искусстве саму богиню Афину Палладу; Арахна победила, но разгневанная богиня, не желая признать своё поражение, разорвала её работу, а её саму ударила челноком. Не стерпев унижения, Арахна повесилась, но Афина всё равно не оставила её в покое — вынула из петли, оживила, а затем превратила в паука и обрекла вечно прясть (по другой версии мифа, такая судьба постигла Арахну из-за того, что рисунки на её ткани изображали богов в смешном и «неподобающем» виде).

Упоминаются пауки и в Библии ().

Пауки символизируют терпение и коварство благодаря своей манере охотиться, сидя на ловчей сети и ожидая добычу, а также беду и свирепость из-за яда, от которого добыча долго умирает. Также яд паука рассматривается как проклятие.

У разных народов существует много различных поверий и примет, связанных с пауками.

BANGKOK — A former high-ranking police officer dismissed from a senior position in Thailand's royal palace was questioned by police Thursday about land encroachment charges in what is seen as the latest example of Thailand's new king purging aides and other close associates.
Thai media this week published a leaked order from Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha dismissing former police general Jumpol Manmai from his position of Grand Chamberlain of the Royal Household Bureau for using his position for personal gain and having political ambitions that threatened national security.
The order accused Jumpol of carrying out "extremely evil deeds." Considered a long-time loyalist of King Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun since even before he took the throne, Jumpol served as a deputy police commissioner and also chief of the National Intelligence Agency under former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, losing the latter job when Thaksin was ousted in a 2006 military coup.
Flanked by police officers, the 66-year-old Jumpol was brought to the Crime Suppression Bureau for questioning over illegally constructing a residence in a protected forest in Nakhon Ratchasima province. He was later brought before a court in the northeastern province for permission to extend his detention.
The latest purging of Vajiralongkorn's entourage began with divorcing his third wife in 2014 and the subsequent jailing of her parents. Vajiralongkorn took the throne after his father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, died last October.
Vajiralongkorn has a history of dramatic breakups: The marriage to his second wife, with whom he has five children, also ended acrimoniously. The breakup was made public by announcements posted near his palace north of Bangkok accusing her of committing adultery with one of his aides and banning them from Thailand.
Just last month, another palace official, former Air Vice Marshal Chitpong Thongkum, who served in the King's bodyguard unit, was stripped of his rank and royal decorations for allegedly stealing royal property and other offenses.
The split of Vajiralongkorn and his third wife, former Princess Srirasmi, was accompanied by a public shaming of a number of her family members. Her parents were given prison sentences for insulting the monarchy after being convicted of misusing his name in a personal dispute.
Vajiralongkorn, 64, faces a challenge in matching the respect accorded to his hard-working father, who reigned for 70 years. He also has to establish a productive relation with the military, which currently runs the country after a 2014 coup.
Earlier this year the military government agreed to amend a draft constitution to meet the king's wishes to extend his authority as a constitutional monarch.

OZONE INSULFFATION
What is ozone therapy?
Ozone therapy may be applied through injection, and can be used to treat a range of health problems.
Ozone therapy uses ozone, a colorless gas made up of three oxygen atoms.
Some researchers believe that ozone has therapeutic effects and the therapy has been studied and used for over 150 years.
Why Ozone Works?
Many people are oxygen deprived and may not be aware of it. Oxygen deficiency may result in various chronic diseases.
Lack of oxygen can benefit bacteria and viruses, blood cells blockages and build up of toxicity in the liver with poor circulation.
Ozone therapy has been found to be useful in several ways in medicine. When it was first used more than 150 years ago, it was to disinfect and treat diseases.
During the First World War, its application to wounds showed not only its ability to disinfect but also to aid blood flow and produce anti-inflammatory effects.
Ozone gas at our clinic is a very safe and highly effective oxygen supplementation
that can destroy multiple bacteria, parasites, viruses,
strengthen your immune system and reduce the pain.
Ozone gas is also known as activated oxygen.
Ozone treatments have virtually no side effects or harmful adverse reactions.
Ozone treatments are used in more than 50 countries, by over 45,000 doctors
around the world for over 70 years with great success.
Ozone kills 99 percent of bacteria, including yeast, fungi, mold,
parasites and viruses 3,500 times quicker than chlorine.
Anyone can benefit from ozone gas therapy to improve health,
anti-aging effects, detoxification, as most diseases can not progresses in oxygen rich body or organs and most people have toxins from food, parasites or the environment.

Urmson, Frederick
Little Hulton, England
Urmson had made his name with Tranmere Rovers, whom he joined in 1927 from Atherton. He featured in 310 league games for the Prenton Park club, scoring 94 goals, so much was expected on him when he moved to Exeter City in the summer of 1936. He went straight into the Grecians first team and made his debut on the opening day of the season, a 3-1 defeat at Notts County in August 1936. He was to play in all ten of the first league matches that season, but only made one further outing. After leaving St James' Park after just one season, Urmson returned north and linked up with Stalybridge Celtic. He then played for South Liverpool, before appearing for Mossley in 1939-40 when he scored 8 goals in 28 starts.
Fred passed away on the 11th of September 1985.

Q: How to implement jquery autocompleter in wordpress I am trying to make auto complater working in wordpress.
Here is my php code
function autocompleteCallback() {
    global $wpdb; // this is how you get access to the database

    //$whatever = $_POST['search_string'];

    $name=$_POST['search_string'];
   // echo'hiii'. $name='a';
    $employee=$wpdb->get_results("SELECT `user_login` FROM wp_users WHERE user_login LIKE '$name%' ");

    foreach($employee as $key=> $value){
    $myarr[]=array('val' => $value->user_login);
    }

    //wp_reset_query();

    echo json_encode($myarr);

    die(); // this is required to return a proper result
}

add_action('wp_ajax_autocompleteCallback', 'autocompleteCallback');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_autocompleteCallback', 'autocompleteCallback');

Here is my jquery
$(function() {
    //function log( message ) {
    //  $( "<div>" ).text( message ).prependTo( "#log" );
   //   $( "#log" ).scrollTop( 0 );
  //  }
    //alert('huii');

    $("#se").autocomplete({

      //dataType: "json",
      source: function( request, response ) {
                $.ajax({
                    url: './wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',
                    dataType: "json",
                    data: {
                        action: 'autocompleteCallback',
                        search_string:'a',
                       // term: $(options.fieldName).val()
                    },
                    success: function( data ) {
                    //alert(data);
                    alert('huii');
                        response( $.map( data.results, function( item ) {
                            return {
                            alert('hi');
                                label: item.val,
                                ///value: item.title,
                                //url: item.url
                            }
                        }));
                    },
                    error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                        console.log(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown);
                    }
                });
            },
      minLength: 1,
      //select: function( event, ui ) {
      //  log( ui.item ?
      //    "Selected: " + ui.item.value + " aka " + ui.item.id :
     //     "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value );
     // }

     // select: function( event, ui ) {
     //   log( ui.item ?
     //     "Selected: " + ui.item.value + " aka " + ui.item.id :
    //      "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value );
    //  }
    });
});

However, I could make this work in normal html, php web site where I passe source as a string. I can't figure where I have done mistake when I use function for source tag.
html code
<input id ="se" type="text" name="test" width="20" />

A: Why you dont just use this awesome plugin: SearchAutocomplete

Plaza de la Constitución(Constitución´s square):
Every day at 11:00 and 13:00 we are at Plaza de la Constitución, the most centrical and emblematic square in Málaga´s city center. Belongs to the pedestrian área of our city, located between Marqués de Larios Street and Granada St. We are normally at 10:45, if you arrive earlier than us (doesn't happen very often), you can always visit the touristic information point on the Northwest corner of the square.
How to identify our guide?
Our guides will be in the middle of the square holding a big blue umbrella and wearing a blue tshirt and a name tag.
What will we see?
Its name and even the square itself has changed a lot lately, becoming pedestrian on 2002. As a curious fact, the fountain is not in the middle of the square, the reason, the huge amount of public events and celebration. Undoubtedly the most emblematic square of Málaga.
Calle Marqués de Larios
Inaugurated on 1891, its modern design and location, connecting the city centre with the port, made Málaga neighbours to fall in love with it right away. Just as Plaza de la Constitución, it became pedestrian on 2002. Mainly a shopping área, it's one of the most expensive areas to rent a shop in Málaga.
Cathedral of Málaga
Built between 1528 and 1782, a mixture of styles that goes from Gothic to even some neoclassic architectural elements. It´s also remarkable that the cathedral was actually never finished, being the lack of its South tower the most significant incomplete part. Taking the nickname of La Manquita (the English translation would be something like ¨the one-armed lady¨)
Calle San Agustín
Called the Knights Street after the reconquest of Malaga because of the amount of people from the cavalry that started living there, the name changed to San Agustin because of a nearby monastery from the Augustinian order. Among others, we´ll discover Buenavista´s palace, a building from 16th century that contains the main Picasso museum of Málaga.
Bodega el Pimpi
At the heart of Málaga, is hard to explain the importance of El Pimpi for our city. An historical building, a winery, a restaurant, a museum, a meeting point for malagueños and visitors, a place which gathers together culture and gastronomy, tradition and trendiness.
Our roman theatre was built on 1st century. buried by the Muslims, stayed underground until 1951, time when Malagueños discovered it. Originally with capacity for 1.200 people and covered by marble, the theatre was used to do performances, operas but also votes such as referendums of roman´s public life.
Alcazaba is a muslim fortress, its construction ended on 1026 b.c. A military building but a palace too, being the central office of the city muslim government. On 1931, Alcazaba was declared an historic and artistic monument of real cultural interest by the Spanish government followed by several restorations over the 20th century.
Castillo de Gibralfaro
Even if we won´t climb Gibralfaro hill, we´ll see and talk on our Free tour of the second muslim fortress. A castle that could control and keep an eye on the whole city of Málaga. Because of this location, the castle provides the best views of the city, the harbour, the beach and the northern mountains.
Malaga Museum
Originally projected in 1788 to attend the traffic of the port. Our Customs Palace never became one. It had several functions until today being one of the largest and most interesting museums in Europe. This building is the Museum of Fine Arts of Malaga and the Provincial Archaeological Museum of Malaga.

"Muy recomendable"
"La visita a la ciudad se nos hizo muy amena por el tono distendido propiciado por el guía. Mas que una visita guiada se nos hacia un tour entre amigos. Se sale de los datos clásicos de fechas y hechos( que también los hay) y entra más en el conocimiento de la ciudad y sus lugares mejor guardados. Felicidades Luis se te ve un enamorado de tu ciudad y eso se agradece." Leer en Tripadvisor

While in 2016, 78% of Poles supported such measures, in 2018 this number increased by 7 percentage points. We also observed that the support for renewable energy sources development in Poland – originally very high as the vast majority of Poles (90-95%) believe that in the coming years, the development of renewed energy and energy efficiency should be a primal concern – remained stable.
