When former California governor/"Kindergarten Cop" star Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, announced their separation last week after 25 years of marriage, the public speculation machine went into overdrive. And sure enough, on Monday, Schwarzenegger confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that he had fathered a child with a member of his household staff.
"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago," Schwarzenegger said to the paper. "I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry."
Shortly before Schwarzenegger issued his statement, the woman, who was not identified by the paper and left her position in January, told its reporters that her former husband was the child's father. A source close to the family said that the ex-governor has supported the child financially from the start.
That's mighty nice of him -- a sense of duty reflected over 10 years ago, when his child was likely an infant, and the then-action star discussed what he referred to as "the parenting problem" with Salon. "The parents are the single most important influence on a child, followed by education and the peer group," he told Christina Valhouli. "The number of single parents in the U.S. has quadrupled since the '60s, and there has also been an increase in violence and school shootings. All that stuff has increased largely because of a lack of parenting, and many households only have one biological parent -- so many of them are fatherless. It really creates a big problem."
Fortunately for the young Schwarzenegger offspring, it appears the kid had the kind of stable nuclear family the Republican leader condones: a father figure, a biological father who secretly sent them money, and a mother who worked for the guy. You can see why, shortly before his move into politics, he was able to state with confidence, "To me, family has always been the basic foundation of everything ... Single parenting is a danger and that's what we have to avoid." See, it's OK, because Arnold and the staffer who had his child were married. He never specified it had to be to each other. And that's your family values, Schwarzenegger-style.

Are you anticipating another disagreeable interaction among your guests? Is there one guest who always seems to stir things up? It's incredible how one person can ruin a gathering. Sometimes it's the combination of guests can make for a volatile situation.
Regardless, as a host, your goal is to provide a welcoming atmosphere for all. And, that no one finds themselves with their back against a corner being lectured by another guest.
Give some thought to your seat assignments; provide 'place cards' and don't seat two outspoken people together.
Serve the meal buffet style; this allows people to roam or excuse themselves from a fiery conversation.
The vegan lifestyle. Sharing why you became vegan or how it has improved your health, is one thing, but it is never acceptable to lecture anyone about their choices.
For the vegan: as a guest, if you know that there will be non-vegan approved food and you are adamantly against it, don't attend. If you don't want to miss out on the gathering, offer to bring a dish or two.
For the host: Because people's dietary lifestyles vary and change, have a few options available, or ask family members to help make something.
The lifestyle change. If you are intentionally blurting out news about a fringe-career or major lifestyle change to shock, arouse or provoke people, don't. Especially if it's not your party.
For the guest: If you've got an announcement to make about anything, but especially a non-traditional one or life-changing, speak to the host in advance. It is up to them to determine if the occasion is appropriate. Option: Throw your own party.
For the host: If a guest "takes the mic" to share a personal style of living change, quickly approach the outspoken guest and ask to speak with them privately. Advise them to share their news with select people, individually; a more effective way of sharing. If they get upset, let them.
The cocky cook. There is always one guest in the crowd who has a superior recipe or learned from some amateur chef on their last vacation how to make "it" better.
If you know that your sister in-law or your friend's boyfriend always taste-tests your dish or stands over your shoulder as you cook, give them their moment. Here's how: Ask them to bring their finest dish (they can brag all night about it) Or, if they won't leave your kitchen, ask them to take over one of your dishes (it will give them something to do and let you peacefully work on your other dishes.) In other words, accommodate his/her quirk–why work against it?
Whether in the workplace or family gatherings, there will be unexpected interruptions, under cooked potatoes, and incompatible people. Finding a way to work around them or to accommodate their quirks, can diminish stress and drama.
Keep a movie going in one room.
Ask guest to prepare a memory about another guest, a vacation, an accomplishment/goal, or if it's around the holidays, a reason to be thankful.
Have a food drive or collection for a cause that they can all get involved in.
Have a buffer; a person you can count on to roam around the room, interrupting if he/she sees a dilemma brewing.
Start your staff meetings with a selection from my book. There are a variety of workplace dilemmas to choose from; a good way to help promote conversation and resolve conflict.

Wicked Saints by Emily Duncan was one of the books on my most anticipated list for this year and I'm happy to say that I really enjoyed it! I do see where people are able to compare the story to the Grisha series by Leigh Bardugo but only slightly.
At the center of this story is a war that's been going on for a while between Kalyazi and Tranavia. The division between these two countries has made it so that neither is willing to give up their cause and they have very different beliefs around what is and is not acceptable magic. The challenge for the Kalyazi is that their practice of magic has been wiped out by the Tranavians and they are losing the war.
Hidden away in a monastery is Nadya. One of our main characters and she just happens to be the only cleric in Kalyazi. Being a cleric means she is connected to the gods and the gods grant her the magic she uses which is rare. When the Tranavian prince hunts her down and attempts to take her, she is forced to run but Nadya knows she won't be able to outrun him for long so when she runs into some questionable strangers, she takes a chance and decides to join them because as they've stated, they are looking for a way to end the war and the only way they can think to do that is to kill the Tranavian King.
I'll come back to the characters here in a moment, but I have to say, I found the world that Duncan built in this book to be an interesting one. Countries in turmoil or fighting against each other's beliefs is not new but the magic and the way it is done was definitely interesting. There is a lot of blood used by the Tranavians to access their magic and it must be tied to a spell book to complete the spell but to Nadya this is heretical and to use blood to cast a spell goes against everything they believe. I found this belief added a layer to the story for Nadya in that she had to figure out what she was really going to stand for and just how in the grey she was willing to go if she was going to work with those who used the blood magic.
Another key character in this story is the Tranavian Prince, Serefin. He has been at the front of the war for a while now and having found Nadya, wants to chase her down but he has other things to worry about. When he is directed by his father to return to Tranavia to participate in the ceremony to find him a wife, Serefin begins to think there is something more going on. He has never had a great relationship with his father but to force him to come back now, Serefin knows that the King is up to something and he is motivated to find out. Unfortunately for Serefin, he doesn't really know who he can trust and that puts him in a very precarious situation.
As I mentioned earlier, when Nadya escapes the prince, she runs into some people in the woods. Two of them happen to be from Akolan (Parijahan and Rashid) but the third, a Kalyazi, has Nadya nervous because his magic feels even stronger than the prince and she doesn't really know if she can trust him. He isn't really forthcoming, and he keeps asking Nadya about her magic which puts her on edge but eventually he tells her some of his story…at least what he remembers and that includes his name, Malachiasz. When the Vultures, a cult that has formed within Tranavia that has a lot of power and autonomy from the King, is sent to retrieve Nadya, the group quickly works together to escape the attack and come to an agreement on how they are going to accomplish their goal of getting rid of the king.
As Nadya finds herself right in the middle of the people she needs to avoid, she begins to learn more about herself, her magic, the Vultures, and the magic of Tranavia. By getting both Nadya's and Serefin's points of view within this book, I was able to see both sides of what was going on and I was glad for that. I do love that as the story proceeds, there is a clear point at which the character's stories come together and I loved it.
I can't say much more about this book without ruining the story so that's all you get from me on this one. Trust me when I say, if you enjoy fantasy stories with lots of magic, a lot of danger for the main characters, blood, and (of course) some kissing, definitely check this book out. I will absolutely be waiting anxiously to get my hands on the next book as the ending left me wanting more!
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.

Matthew Lopez and Kyle Soller's The Inheritance Play Is Like Netflix Series
-"The Inheritance."
Matthew, you wrote it. Kyle, you're one of the stars of
this great play. I was there opening night.
-You were. -And do you remember?
We met each other. Do you remember?
-I did. I accosted you
after Part 1 ended. And, well, it was so
funny because — no spoilers — but, usually, people finish
the first part of the play in a bit of an emotional state. And I saw you,
and you were covered in tears and your eyes were all red. And I thought to myself,
"I can get anything out of this guy right now." I can get a loan, a car,
anything I want. -He's vulnerable
right now, yeah. -Very, very vulnerable. -It crushes! The end of the —
I should say that this play is actually two separate plays,
if you want to, right? -Yeah, two different plays. -I saw them both in
the same day for a total of — I think it was like
6 1/2 hours total. But you don't have to do that.
-No, no, no. It's — You can do whatever
you want. -Yeah, that's very nice.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can just come and go
as you please. No, actually, well, the thing
is, is that it is one big play, but we also think of them
as two separate plays. They're two
very different plays. And, so, you know, when people
see a 6-1/2-hour play, they think, "Oh, my God. I'm never going to get home." And we like to
think of it as, actually, Season 1 of "The Inheritance" and Season 2 of
"The Inheritance." -Okay, yeah. So it's like binge-watching
on Netflix. -It's exactly like that.
-Okay, perfect. -So you, like,
come watch Season 1, and if you like it, then you can
come back and watch Season 2. -Start your subscription
to Season 2. -Yeah, exactly. One of the things that happened
to us in London was that people would come see Part 1, and there would be
a Part 2 later that night. And after Part 1 was over,
there'd be a line at the box office of people
wanting to get tickets to Part 2 that night. So we are very confident that if
you just buy a ticket to Part 1, that we are not going
to have any trouble selling you tickets to Part 2. -Yeah, yeah. It is that great.
And the cast is that great. And you are fantastic. But, I mean,
you love every performance. Everyone — You kind of feel
like you get to know them by the first three hours. -Yeah, I'd never read
a play like it. It fully fleshed out characters that are completely
three-dimensional and hilarious and heart-breaking in
equal measure. -Oh, my gosh. It's really laugh out loud,
like — But, I mean, also, I will say, in London,
by the way, you had a great run. "The Telegraph" called it "perhaps the most important
American play of the century." [ Cheers and applause ]
That's a quote forever. Forever, that's a quote.
-I know. I'm so glad I got my mom that
job at "The Telegraph." -Yeah, right? -"Mom, they got a job opening at
'The Telegraph.'" -Really, really good idea of me.
-What is the play about? Can you set it up
at all without ruining it? -Yeah, absolutely. No, I can. So, well, the story —
So, it's based on a novel called "Howards End"
by E.M. Forster, which is a novel that was
written in 1910. And, so, when I was a teenager,
there was a movie version of "Howards End" that came out with Anthony Hopkins
and Emma Thompson. And I heard about it.
And I was a teenager. And I asked my mom
to take me to see it. And she was like,
"'Howards End'? Is this a porno that you're
asking me to take you to see?" It's got a weird name, right?
-And you're like, "No, mom." -Yeah, no, no. So, she took me to church first,
just in case. -Just in case it was?
-Just in case. And then we went to see
the movie. And the movie just absolutely
changed my little teenage life. And I read the book. And my mother is
a schoolteacher, so she brought me the book. And I just fell in love with it. And one of the things that I
realized later in life is that maybe —
I was like in my late 20s — is that E.M. Forster was gay
and closeted all his life. And he wrote about things that
were outside of his experience because he couldn't write about
the own truths of his life. And so I thought,
"Well, you know what I'll do? I'll take my favorite novel and I'll update it
to the present day. I'll take all the characters —
there's, like, straight people from different
social classes — and I will turn it into
a story about gay men from three different
generations." And, really, what it's about
for me is — what does it mean to be a
gay man in the 21st century, in the shadow of AIDS,
growing up watching this happen, and now being also of an age
where there are young, gay men younger than me? And, suddenly, people are
asking me for advice, and the way I did with
older people. So I poured it all
into this play. -Yeah, it's just amazing,
every performance, but, man, you knock it out
of the park, buddy. Kyle, it's so emotional
at the end. I didn't come back to say hi
to you at the end 'cause I figured
you'd done enough for me. But do you feel —
When did you feel like, "Oh, this is powerful. Like, this is –" -As soon as I found out that
I was going to be playing Emma Thompson, basically. -Yeah. We all want to be
Emma Thompson, yeah. -I've peaked.
Like, my life's changed. -But, I mean, you — I mean,
but do you look in the crowd and just go like, "Oh, my gosh." 'Cause, I mean,
everyone was just weeping, especially at the end of
the first play. -Yeah. Man, I've never, ever
been part of something that breaks the boundary between
audience and performers like this play does. And it doesn't break it, but it just actually brings
us together, and there's a
real communion that happens. And we can hear
the audience reactions, and they're
very vocal throughout the entire performance
and they're laughing and they're gasping
and they're weeping openly. And it's
incredibly powerful, man. -I think the laughter —
You would speak for that, but I think it helps the play
because it kind of lets you let your guard down
for a little bit. -Yeah, well, you know,
I discovered — I mean — Well, listen,
I'm Puerto Rican. And, so, we know
two languages — hilarity and calamity, right? -Yeah.
-The only two languages we know. And so I was like, "Well, we'll
just put that into this play." And, you know, I knew that,
like, if I was going to tell this story —
And there's some serious things that we talk about. We talk about loss and
we talk about what it means to inherit things
from a previous generation and leave it to the next. But I also knew that if
I was going to ask people to sit in an audience
for that long, I also needed
to make them laugh. -If there's one message
that you think everyone should take away from this play,
what do you think it would be? -I mean, I've been asked to try
to describe the play in three words, which seems
really impossible. But the three words I always
land on are love, loss, and hope. It's trying to bridge
generations together, regarding the past,
looking back on our mistakes, being honest about them, trying to heal and forge
a better future together. And, honestly, a play that is
about trying to be good and having love
for your fellow person. It's exactly the kind of play we
need right now, in my opinion. -I agree.
[ Cheers and applause ] Do you agree? Same? -Yeah, I mean — Well,
first of all, thank you. That's flattering. -You're the one that won
all the awards. -Oh, stop. No, but I think that, you know,
for me, I could sum it up with a line that the character
of E.M. Forster, who's in the play,
actually says, which is, "You have no idea
which lives you will touch and which ones you will save." And I think that's true
of so many lives and it's true of people that we
lost to the epidemic in the '80s and the '90s and it's true of the people
in our life — our children, our parents. It's all a legacy. And I think that we ask people
to come to the theater and think about legacy
and think about what's been left them
and what's their responsibility to leave to the next generation? -Go check it out —
"The Inheritance." Well-said.
Matthew Lopez, Kyle Soller. Go to see "The Inheritance,"
Part 1 or Part 2 — doesn't matter. Go check them all out. Playing right now at

I realized I haven't mentioned Ian specifically lately. Partially because he's doing A-OK.
His basketball team won their championship (their record was 9 & 1 during the season). As he walked out wearing his medal, he said, "I don't see why only the first place team gets medals. There were kids on the other team who worked way harder than I did and they go so much better. They should have gotten one too." That's my boy!
He's not super competitive. He lamented that he liked learning how to play basketball, he just didn't like scrimmaging or playing in actual games because it was stressful. Honestly, I can't say I blame him. Maybe he'd prefer the solitude of cross-country running, except that he's built like a juggernaut. So maybe shotput?
He has lots of friends at school and through my various social escapades. He's content to hang with adults or kids of any age. When I went to the Smiths, I don't think I actually saw him the entire weekend except when we slept because he and Andrew were joined at the hip.
Once we celebrated Day of the Daddy (Feb 20, mark your calendars), he seemed to really perk up. That was some much-needed perkiness for me because the daily lamentations of missing Daddy were starting to wear me out.
I'm ready for warmer weather so we can do things outside. But we're staying busy with Legos and Team Fortress 2 indoors. His hair is So. Damn. Long. But he conditions it and combs it and only occasionally complains about tangles so he's welcome to do this thing. It's not like he's getting drafted anytime soon.

Q: angular forms + bootstrap 'is-invalid', 'is-valid' Imagine I have a small form and use reactive approach
For example, I have two inputs
...
<input formControlName="name" name="name" type="text" class="form-control">
<input formControlName="amount" name="amount" type="text" class="form-control">
...

I want to track changes and add bootstrap classes 'is-valid'/ 'is-invalid' for appropriate cases.
The problem is that the only way I see I can do it is this:
<input formControlName="name" name="name" type="text" class="form-control"
                 [ngClass]="name.invalid && name.touched ? 'is-invalid' : ''">

In ts file:
ngOnInit() {
    ...
    this.name = this.shoppingListForm.get('name');
  }

Is there a better approach. What is really annoying for me is a lot of "mud" in html.

So, if form should has default style, it means the page was loaded and
  input wasn't touched

I found out that I can do this, but still guess there is a better approach. By "better" I mean that won't make html so dirty
<input formControlName="name" name="name" type="text" class="form-control"
[ngClass]="{'is-invalid': name.invalid && name.touched,
            'is-valid': name.valid, '': name.untouched}"

Any help is appreciated)
As @Muhammed stated below, the best way to do what I need is to do it through css

Just small contribution of mine in case of bootstrap 4.

The problem is that it adds border shadow, so the complete solution for me is this:
for invalid input
input.ng-invalid.ng-touched{
    border-color: rgba(255,10,29,1) !important; box-shadow: none !important;
}

if it is focused, then make border look good
input.ng-invalid.ng-touched:focus{
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 0.2rem rgba(255,10,29,0.25) !important;
}

A: It is very simple!
You just have to set [ngClass] correctly in the template and name the field form with # and ngModel value (ex. #myfieldname="ngModel").
If you use Bootstrap, you can use the is-valid and is-invalid classes, like this:
<input formControlName="name" name="name" type="text" class="form-control"
    #myfieldname="ngModel"
    [ngClass]="{'is-valid': myfieldname.touched && myfieldname.valid, 'is-invalid': myfieldname.touched && myfieldname.invalid}">

A: You don't need to add the any class related to form control state change angular do this by default you just need to add a style related to these classes
input.ng-invalid.ng-touched {
    border: 1px solid red;
 }

this class indicate the input control is invalid and toched , this mean you just need to work on the style.

A: You can have a common method in component:
isValid(field: string) {
    return (!this._form.get(field).valid && this._form.get(field).touched) ? 'is-invalid' : this._form.get(field).touched ? 'is-valid' : '';
}

Then in your element refence
[class]="isValid('title')"

The other party's painting is also very good. She looks at the mirror very seriously, strokes one by one. If it is not for her hair color, she hasn't recognized it for a while.
Shen Yuanye asked for a cup of coffee and found a place by the window with Lu Yue.
Not knowing what went wrong, Anna threw things away.
She was going to look for the video online, but when she looked up, she found an Asian beauty sitting at the table opposite to her.
Anna walked over and asked in surprise: "Are you Chinese?"
When Shen Yuanye glanced over, she thought she was a model.
Fearing that the other party would not understand her, she changed her English: "Yes, you are a model participating in a fashion show?"
In fact, the other party's Chinese is okay, but the intonation is weird, but there are no sentence problems. It is already quite good. After all, it is recognized as the most difficult to learn in the world.
"Do you mind if I sit down?"
"Of course I don't mind."
"I'm Anna." Anna beckoned to order a cup of coffee, and said with emotion: "You must have also participated in Fashion Week. It is not easy to meet Chinese people here."
Shen Yuan Ye smiled slightly.
She still has a half-painted face on her face, which looks quite funny.
Anna talked for a while, and finally thought of her own business, "I seem to have something wrong with the painting of the Beijing Opera facial makeup here. Can you help me see it?"
She likes Chinese culture very much. She lived in China for a few months as a child. Looking back, she still misses that time very much.
Recently, she watched a documentary and became fascinated by Peking Opera, so after the trial installation, she brought her things here to try her own painting.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong halfway.
Anna said the name of the documentary, and Shen Yuanye happened to watch it, but it was time for college, and she watched it with Sun Ai.
Naturally, this understanding is better than foreigners.
After explaining some of her special terms, Anna finally found out what was wrong with her and thanked her very happily.
She sat back to her original position, and it took a long time to finally hook up a satisfied face.
Seeing that it was about to sunset, Shen Yuanye said goodbye to her.
Anna held a facial makeup and wrote her a series of numbers: "This is my contact information, I hope to see you again, dear."
Shen Yuan Ye didn't plan to stay.
After all, I only met on the road, who knows what his personality is, but now that people take the initiative, she can only leave her own.
After returning to the hotel, Liu Li took her to dinner with Zhou Lu.
Then on the way back to the room, the two chatted for a while, she casually mentioned something in the coffee shop, and Zhou Lu suddenly realized: "That Anna?"
Shen Yuan Ye was surprised, "Do you know Sister Lu?"
Zhou Lu shook her head, "I don't know her, but I also know her."
This model is indeed not so famous. Although it is not a top-notch abroad, it has a lot of fans and has participated in many shows.
Belongs to the aura.
"It's not bad that you met her." Zhou Lu said smoothly: "She likes China better, and she also registered on Weibo and often interacts in Chinese."
Shen Yuanye has never paid attention to this issue.
Last time, a supermodel also registered on Weibo, but the other party's coffee position was very large, and it was also popular in search. The first Weibo comment exceeded the popular traffic.
Zhou Lu talked to her about several models who are active on Weibo.
After returning to the room, Shen Yuanye searched randomly and found Anna's Weibo.
She has thousands of posts on Weibo. The latest one was posted yesterday, which is about Facebook and documentaries. She will post her finished products in two days.
Shen Yuanye refreshed it at random and saw the newly updated one.
Anna's video is set against the coffee shop where she left before. She introduced her in Chinese on Facebook and mentioned her.
She recalled: "… really a nice, nice, beautiful Chinese model… but I don't know her, her name…"
The comments all praised her good facial makeup.
For someone who studies domestic knowledge so seriously, Shen Yuanye really feels that she can't match Anna's enthusiasm.
The Spring/Summer Fashion Week has not yet started, and domestic reporters have already gone abroad to start filming.
The street shots of the models were sent back to China, and they were quickly searched. Naturally, Shen Yuanye, who was with Zhou Lu, was also put together.
"This is the young lady from last time?"
"This skips directly to Fashion Week, sure there is no problem? There won't be any problems directly on the show, right? The country will be lost then."
"I always feel that she is not so good…"
"Anyway, I hope all ladies can cheer!"
There are various comments. Generally speaking, the good ones are the majority. Shen Yuanye occasionally brushes a few, but most of the time they just ignore them.
No matter what they say, she is the one who stepped onto the stage in the end, and there is no need to get angry or argue.
She put down her phone, suddenly looked at Lu Yue over there, pretending to ask casually: "Lu Yue, do you really use Weibo?"
Lu Yue turned around, "No need."
"There are really very few young people who don't use Weibo these days." Shen Yuanye sighed and found that her expression did not change.
It would be great if Luyue had a Weibo, but unfortunately, I got a negative answer when I asked before.
Because the clothes are still changing the size, they are familiar with the catwalk venue these days, and the rest of the time is more free.
Su Yun's "Fei Shang" also sent a female reporter to come over and plan to conduct a street interview with her.
Before the reporter came, he was entangled in what he wanted to interview to achieve the best results.
She was assigned because her English is better than others, she can interview other foreign models, and she might even run into some celebrities.
Shen Yuanye had filmed the cover of "Fashang" before, and the interview was completely fine.
The problem is how to attract others.
On the day of the interview, the reporter chose a beautiful street and asked Shen Yuanye in the camera: "Fashion week hasn't started yet, what are you doing recently?"
Shen Yuanye walked a few steps and answered, "I am familiar with the venue, and I will rehearse in a few days."
The reporter narrowed the distance with her, asked a few questions that were neither salty nor indifferent, and finally turned to the current domestic Weibo, "Recently, the domestic fashion show mentioned that you are worried about your first international show. Do you have anything to say?"
Two people walk on the street together, like a walk.
Shen Yuanye only said: "I will see you that day."
No matter how much I said now, others can't understand her. If she says she has confidence, I'm afraid others will even say she is arrogant.
Might as well be yourself.
When the fashion week starts, everything will come out.
After the interview, the two had a meal together, and then Shen Yuanye and Lu Yue went back to the hotel with something in their hearts.
Today is the afternoon of the 19th, but it is already the 20th in China.
At night, Shen Yuan Ye couldn't sleep at night.
She was waiting for a reply from the river bank.
When it was daytime in the imperial capital, it was already night here, so she almost didn't sleep all night, just waiting for news.
Until the next day, there was finally news on WeChat.
Perhaps it was because she knew what Shen Yuanye wanted to see most, Jiangbian posted a photo of Lu Long and the person he took at the scene of the crime.
It happened to be the place in the video of Lu Long's death.
Both were still alive and captured alive.
Shen Yuanye's tense heart instantly returned to the place, just waiting for the answer from the river bank, but she felt that this process should be relatively long.
After all, the other party is planning to play a black hand, it is impossible to simply spit out the answer.
Liu Heyang touched the man's clothes, took out a lighter, and handed it to Jiangpan: "I found a lighter."
Soon, the police in the house also came out with a bucket of liquid, "There is gasoline in it."
Liu Heyang touched the lighter on Lu Long's face and smiled: "A lighter and gasoline are a perfect match. Lu Long, your life is almost gone."
They released Lu Long this morning, and then they kept staring at him.
Lu Long's daily life was very normal, so normal to incredible, they almost thought that nothing would happen.
But because of Jiangpan's instructions and professional ethics, he kept staring.
Until the evening, Lu Long received the call.
They had bugged and positioned him on his body, and Lu Long himself did not know that the conversation and location were always in the hands of the police.
Lu Long was talking with a man.
The content of the topic is obviously the matter of Shen Yuanye.
It's just that what the two people said was not very clear, and it was all what they knew, and they didn't hear any new news after listening for a long time.
After half an hour, Lu Long went out.
They followed him to this place, and the surrounding was deserted. Maybe Lu Long was careless after entering, and the door was not closed tightly.
Soon after the lights came on, they heard the sound of fighting inside, and then rushed in to stop the two of them.
A wound has appeared on Lu Long's body.
It was a man in a suit who was confused when he saw the police, but he knew that Lu Long had accidentally leaked his whereabouts.
When Lu Long was rescued, he was grateful in his heart.
If this is a step late, he might be solved directly.
When the police found the lighter, Lu Long didn't feel anything. When he came out with the barrel of oil, his back was sweating cold.
In the interrogation room, the girl's words immediately jumped into her mind.
He was burned alive.
Lighters and gasoline are best used to burn people.
Lu Longrao was a man, and he shivered. He watched a lot of news movies that were burned alive, all of which were cruel and terrifying.
Jiang Pan glanced at the two of them, took a photo with a click, and received the phone after receiving a reply, "take it away."
Liu Heyang guessed his movements and smiled.
Lu Long was taken to the hospital by an ambulance because of his injury. The man in a suit was taken directly to the police station for questioning.

Q: What is the purpose of XML  ?> tokens? Usually XML document starts with the header like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
Consider this document
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <Foo>
        <?One?>
        <?Two some?>
        <?Three <?Nested ?> ?>
    </Foo>

*

*Can one reuse <? and ?> again inside the XML document?

*Does XML parser ignore these content in these tags? How to get them?

*Is there any problem with Three's Nested tag?

My guess is these are document property and can be placed anywhere. Right? Also I'm thinking to do some XML data generation based on these meta tags. Is that a right approach?
e.g.
  <?if a == b ?>
  <Node>IncludeIfEqual</Node>
  <?endif ?>

PS Google doesn't help. It ignores <? keyword.

A: The question marks indicate that the command is an XML processing instruction. This allows a document to contain instructions for applications.
See here: Processing Instructions
Also another interesting little page on them:
XMLPLEASE

A: These are XML processing instructions.

[processing instructions] are not part of the document's character data, but MUST be passed
  through to the application.

Here's an IBM article on XSLTs that discusses the usage of processing instructions and coding around them.

'Fair Game' Tells Plame Saga from Her Viewpoint The scandal that came to be known as "Plamegate" began in 2003 with the publication of a CIA agent's name. It eventually encompassed the perjury conviction of a senior White House official. Now the agent tells her side of the story — or at least the parts the CIA will let her tell — in a new memoir.

Plame On the Outing: 'It Felt Like a Sucker Punch to the Gut' Oct. 22, 2007
In-Depth Coverage: Locating the Source of the Plame Leak Aug. 29, 2006
In July 2003, newspaper columnist Robert Novak published the name of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame — shortly after Plame's husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, wrote an op-ed piece contradicting President Bush's contention that Saddam Hussein had tried to procure yellowcake uranium from the West African nation of Niger.
A special prosecutor was appointed to investigate the leak, and eventually I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby — chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney — was indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice in connection with the inquiry. Upon his conviction, Libby was sentenced to 30 months in jail, though the president commuted that sentence.
Plame and Wilson are still pursuing a case in civil court in an attempt to uncover who started the leak. And the former spy has published a memoir: Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House.

120 new team members for fibreglass filter division
Waterco (ASX:WAT) continues to assert its dominance in the water treatment industry by expanding its product line along with its manufacturing force. Such is the demand for its commercial fibreglass filters, that an additional 120 new staff have been employed over the last 12 months in the company's Malaysian fibreglass filter division, bringing the total headcount at its manufacturing plant to a total of 500. This is mainly to cope with the manufacturing of commercial fibreglass filters, which have a high labour content.
"Waterco is known around the world for pioneering reliable solutions for healthy, safe water environments - and the growth of the company's sales to the commercial aquatic and water treatment markets around the world is a testament to the global acceptance of Waterco's commercial filters," says group marketing director Bryan Goh.
"Waterco's digitally controlled filament winding machines faultlessly wind in a three-axis configuration, producing continuous strands that create a vessel with flawless consistency, superior quality.
"This produces a commercial filter that is free from welds or seams or special tank linings that typically corrode or electrolyse. Furthermore, our winding technology further strengthens the fibreglass structure so it can withstand a working pressure of up to 1,000 kPa (150psi)."
Integrated Quality and Environmental Management System (IMS)
Known for being an environmentally sensitive manufacturer, Waterco's latest initiative aims to further reduce water, power and chemical consumption in the aquaculture, swimming pool and spa and water filtration sectors.
"Our globally respected brand has become synonymous with environmental sustainability and corporate responsibility – and we take that reputation very seriously," explains Bryan. "We recently took the additional step of implementing an Integrated Management System (IMS) that is based on the ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certification, and the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Certification – two of the world's most recognisable certifications."
This new product-related environmental protection requires strict oversight in all phases of Waterco's product life cycles – from conception, development, manufacture and use, to its end-of-life treatment.
"Our intention in implementing the IMS is to make a positive, long-lasting difference for our employees, the environment, and for future generations," adds Bryan.

Bill Leverty: 'Divided We Fall'
Posted on July 13, 2020 by John Stoney Cannon in Uncategorized // 0 Comments
BILL LEVERTY
DIVIDED WE FALL
Released on June 19, 2020 (Bill Leverty)
For most writers, I would imagine that getting hit up to give an opinionated listen to a solo album from a member of an established rock band would be met with a mix of hoops, hollers, high fives and yeah, even a celebratory toast. Well, I got to admit, while in terrific theory it sounds cool, few musical terms cause me to twitch nervously like "solo album." At this point in my life, my brain is programmed to react to those words with immediate visions of vanity projects by lead singers who either only write songs in a way best suited for their main gig, or who shouldn't be anywhere near a songwriting session to begin with. And as I've read on Sleaze Roxx (as well as other websites), sometimes complete honesty is met with brutal reactions from the fans and even worse, the artists themselves. But every once in a whil,e a solo release slips across the desk that not only catches you pleasantly off guard, but before the first note, wipes away any of those vanity project worries often associated with hearing the words "solo album." One such release is the latest (and fifth) solo offering by guitarist Bill Leverty.
Now for those who might have lost track of rock and roll since grunge landed like a dirty, distorted unkept bomb in the early nineties, Leverty is the founder, guitarist, main songwriter, and to this day main driving force behind melodic American rock band FireHouse. Yes, THAT FireHouse that arrived and thrived just at the time when many American rock bands were dealing with finicky record labels, a changing MTV, and even some fans leaving them in the lurch. Despite the world musical landscape quickly changing, Leverty and FireHouse stuck to their catchy rock and roll guns finding success with some of the best produced rock albums and songs of not just the early '90s, but any era allowing for the band to continue to this day which after a few very real (and down to earth) e-mails from Leverty is reason to smile.
Let's be honest, even the hardest of rockers love a feel good story of triumph, especially if the good guys come out on top. With a never quit attitude and positive way of moving past obstacles and bouts of frustration en route to reaching every goal, Leverty just might be to late '80s / early '90s rock and roll what Rudy is to underachiever college football lore, only he might have been given a slightly more fighting chance. Heck, just a listen to the tunes on Leverty's latest and you can't help but think that he would have been huge on the rise above it all soundtrack movie scene of the '80s. Cool thing is, while raise your fist movie soundtrack anthems pretty much died in the '90s, Leverty has continued to pump out consistently cool old school guitar loaded rock and roll between some great FireHouse albums and do I dare say it? His "gasp" solo albums!
Joined by longtime bandmate / FireHouse co-founder Michael Foster on the majority of the tracks on Divided We Fall, Leverty has once again released a full album of great tunes that shine from first note to last. Even with a great mix of musical flavors and songs written between 2013 and this year, you'll be hard pressed to pick one or two out that sound like they don't belong with the rest of the tracks on Divided We Fall. But the best part is, despite being loaded with some great Bill Leverty guitar-driven melodic rock songs, Divided We Fall doesn't make you just wanna shrug your shoulders and blow it off as just as just a cool FireHouse knockoff that could have been better with the rest of the band. I'm not saying that FireHouse fans won't dig this as after all, it's still great rock and roll. However, it's great Bill Leverty on his own rock and roll and THIS doesn't make me twitch nervously. If anything, it makes me want to go out and buy all the Bill Leverty solo releases I'm ashamed aren't already in my music collection.
Kicking off with rocker "You're A Natural", Leverty blends all the rocking sounds fans of FireHouse love with some of the classic southern rock influences that have peppered his previous solo releases. Heck yeah, the killer riffs and awesome guitar solos are present and sure, at times, the hard to resist chorus is there to grab you but it doesn't take diving too far in to shake any thoughts of FireHouse out of your head and just dig on Divided We Fall as a whole other fresh thing. And it's more than just Leverty's vocals, which at times are lower and more soulful than FireHouse fans are used to. The grooves overall are fatter and songs like "Memorable" and "The Bloom Is Off The Rose" even venture into '80s Eagles territory while "My Right Mind" and "For Better Or Forget It" actually come close to something you might hear on modern country radio had they been recorded by someone far less cooler than Leverty. You might find instruments like mandolin and dobro throughout the tunes but used in a way that only a proficient musician / writer like Leverty can and they add to the rock and roll way more than subtract from it.
Speaking of rocking tracks, you'll find them aplenty on Divided We Fall and most particularly amongst the Whitesnake-esque groove of "Strong", the infectious '80s hooks of "Love Is like A Song", low-end dark blues rock of "Ace Bandage", and the grinding groove of the title track. And while there might not be that power chord chorus-heavy ballad, Leverty still offers a fine bit of balladry ala beautiful '70s acoustic rock style tune "The Heart Heals The Soul." Like the title kind of implies, Leverty leaves nothing out on Divided We Fall and for true lovers of music, that's a good thing. Will die-hard '80s hair metal sticklers love it from start to finish? Who cares? A good record is a good record, and these days is a lot rarer to find than those long locks that used to cover a lot of our heads back in the day. For fans set in their ways, you might be blessed with a FireHouse album in a few years, but for fans just itching for some great solid melodic rock and roll, the wait is over and you can thank Bill for that.
While created over a period of seven years, Leverty used the cool tactic of releasing the songs as singles along the way and if you look below, you can check out some of the cool videos created for a few of the songs. Divided We Fall isn't just a pile of thrown together tunes tossed on a disc and blown out for public consumption or just a quick buck. Given a serious listen, it's obvious Leverty put a lot of heart and soul effort into his latest solo release and given today's climate, it's a much needed lot of heart and soul. At a time when most of the world can benefit from social distancing, Divided We Fall is a great listen whether earbudding on a jog, listening with a cold drink and your feet up on the back deck, or blaring out the speakers on a sunny day's ride through the country. Yeah, we may all be kind of divided right now but thanks to great artists like Bill Leverty still releasing great songs, chances are pretty good that we ain't gonna fall.

Q: what is the best way to edit csv file I have a incomplete csv file that needs to be accurately updated, so there is csv file like this :
one,two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight,nine,ten //This is a line(String)

Naturally the file is far more complex but in this format, here is what I want to do insert new-word,new-word1, new-word3 or n words between seven and eight(or any range). How can I do that?
Pseudo-code,code or example would be great, I don't have a clue how to even start.
UPDATE:
Maybe I should convert this to array or some kind of datastructure. Then insert new item at the certain position, shift the rest of the content right and do that for each insertion.
I don't know if is right way to go or how to begin programming it
UPDATE II:
Maybe read in csv in the list, split list into two lists, first one ending with seven. Then add n words to first list and join two lists at the end? also don't know how to program this

A: Take a look at OpenCSV.
UPDATE: Here's some (barely) pseudocode to give a general idea of how you would use OpenCSV for this:
CSVReader reader = new CSVReader(new FileReader("old.csv"));
CSVWriter writer = new CSVWriter(new FileWriter("new.csv"));
String [] nextLine;
while ((nextLine = reader.readNext()) != null) {
    List<String> lineAsList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(nextLine));
    // Add stuff using linesAsList.add(index, newValue) as many times as you need.
    writer.writeNext(lineAsList.toArray());
}

Hat-tip: @Mark Peters who points out that you can't update the results of Arrays.asList

A: This pseudo-like code might help :
List values = Arrays.asList(line.split(",\s*"));
List newWords = Arrays.aList(newWordsLine.split(",\s*"));

values.addAll(7,newWords);

StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(values.get(0));
for(v : values.subList(1,values.size()) {
    buf.append(",",v);
}
return buf.toString();

this will insert the newWords after the 7th item on the line

A: I'd parse it into a collection, add your items, then render it back out to a csv.

Q: Which format should I choose for a Time Machine backup volume? I'm using Catalina on an formatted APFS SSD and am finding a correct way to backup the OS. In the plugged in external HDD, I create a backup volume with APFS format using Disk Utility. But when I choose it as the backup volume in Time Machine, Time Machine requires the volume have to be erased. I did it and then go to Disk Utility to check, the volume is now formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Should I continue to use it? Will it occur any problems when I make a restore from backups on a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to an APFS SSD? Thanks for any help.

A: Time Machine in Catalina only supports HFS+ as a destination volume.  The first macOS that supports APFS as a destination volume is Big Sur.
ref:
https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/types-of-disks-you-can-use-with-time-machine-mh15139/10.15/mac/10.15
vs:
https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/types-of-disks-you-can-use-with-time-machine-mh15139/11.0/mac/11.0

A: While, in general, APFS is better suited for SSD disks and HFS+ (macOS Extended) is better suited for rotational media due to their respective statistical access patterns and ensuing consequences for seek time and flash wear, either format could in principle be used for backup purposes if Time Machine has enabled support for it in a given macOS release. In theory*, restoring from an HFS+ to an APFS volume (or vice versa) should present no problem, as the file copy is done at a higher abstraction layer in the call stack that is agnostic to the underlying storage format. Neither format has inherent limitations that would prevent it from being used as a TM backup and it's merely a question of application (i.e., Time Machine) support. Refer to Marc Wilson's insightful answer for details on which macOS version has enabled support for which formats.
* — The difference between theory and practice is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, and in practice, there is.
