"I've got so much brass up my ass that I can play the Star Spangled Banner." – Captain Howard
This may be the most quintessential Michael Bay movie that I like. Honestly, it's as good as a Bay film can be and it's two leading stars just make every moment an enjoyable one.
I'm glad that I watched this again, after so many years, because it really builds off of the first film and ups the ante in a great way.
My only real complaint about it is that it's a bit too long. I feel like some things could've been left out but Bay likes long movies with long action sequences and not too much plot getting in the way of the spectacle.
Still, this isn't boring or slow, it just feels like it's a half hour longer than it needs to be.
It's well shot, competently edited and it displays the Bay style better than just about any other Bay movie. It's certainly not a visual clusterfuck like his special effects heavy movies tend to be.
I also don't think that this would've been anywhere near as good of a movie if it didn't star Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. Those guys, especially in this era, were just gold and they have incredible chemistry, as their bond in the film comes across as genuine and real.
The film's plot is a cookie cutter drug crime tale. There's not much about it that sets it apart from similar films and the criminal activity isn't all that impressive or creative. But, honestly, it doesn't need to be. This is a movie that's just supposed to be a fun, mostly mindless, popcorn flick and it succeeds at that, immensely.
I enjoyed the additions to the cast and thought that Gabrielle Union was solid, which is probably why her character, all these years later, got her own spin off television series. I may have to watch and review it after I check out the third Bad Boys movie.
In the end, this is just pure, unadulterated, unfiltered fun. It stars two guys everyone should love, doesn't have a dull moment, is equally badass and hilarious and has some incredibly great action sequences that have not only stood the test of time but are still some of the best ever filmed.
I don't say this often but hats off to Michael Bay.
Pairs well with: the other Bad Boys films, as well as the Lethal Weapon and Beverly Hills Cop movies.

It sounds like a joke, or perhaps just an urban legend that grew out of Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham." But food scientists say this one is no myth. The reality is that green potatoes contain high levels of a toxin, solanine, which can cause nausea, headaches and neurological problems.
Potatoes naturally produce small amounts of solanine as a defense against insects, but the levels increase with prolonged exposure to light and warm temperatures.
The green color is actually caused by high levels of chlorophyll, which by itself is harmless. But it is also a sign that levels of solanine, which is produced at the same time as chlorophyll, have increased as well.
According to a recent report by Alexander Pavlista, a professor of agronomy and horticulture at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, a 100-pound person would have to eat about 16 ounces of a fully green potato to get sick. That is the weight of a large baked potato.
The report noted that most green potatoes never reach the market. Still, to avoid the development of solanine, it is best to store potatoes in cool, dimly lit areas, and to cut away green areas before eating.
Another good rule: if it tastes bitter, don't eat it. Unlike Dr. Seuss's entree, this green meal would not have a happy ending.
Green potatoes contain a chemical that can cause sickness.

63rd Street gets $50 million in loans for revitalization
Lisa Bertagnoli
Gordon Walk
Mayor Rahm Emanuel at the announcement of Southwest Corridor Collaborative.
The city of Chicago, three neighborhood groups and a nonprofit hope that $50 million in loans, made over 10 years, will revitalize retail and other economic engines on 63rd Street, from Cottage Grove Avenue to Pulaski Road.
The partnership, announced Nov. 3, includes the city, Greater Auburn-Gresham Development, Southwest Organizing Project, Teamwork Englewood and LISC Chicago, the local arm of national Local Initiatives Support, based in New York.
The announcement of the collaboration was made in Englewood, just north of the neighborhood's new
" target="_blank">Whole Foods Market.
The store "gives us the unique opportunity to double down on historic progress we are making in an area and build on it to revitalize entire neighborhoods," Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a release announcing the collaborative.
63rd Street was once the city's second-busiest retail corridor, second only to downtown, said Meghan Harte, executive director of LISC Chicago. "If you talk to anyone, regardless of race or where they live, everyone remembers 63rd Street as the place for food, clothing and entertainment," Harte said, noting that the street, from Halsted Street west, once housed 200 retail businesses.
In Auburn Gresham, the unemployment rate is 27.8 percent and the homeownership rate 39 percent. In Englewood and West Englewood, it's 36.4 percent and 27.1 percent, respectively. In Southwest Chicago, also known as Chicago Lawn, the unemployment rate is 16 percent and homeownership, 58 percent.
Job creation is one big reason to revitalize the street, Harte said.
She said the collaborating parties are forming a vision for the street, which could include a major employer, say a call center, in addition to retail, restaurants and entertainment. She expects planning to take three to six months, then investments will begin. The goal is to have two or three "catalytic" investments started, with financing in place, by 2018.
"If you talk to anybody, 10 years is ambitious," Harte said, noting that 15 to 20 years is a more typical time frame for major economic revitalization.
The partnership is "unprecedented," she said. "This is three communities coming together with the city to do planning in a coordinated way."
The collaboration grew out of LISC Chicago's Quality-of-life Planning initiative among Englewood, Auburn Gresham and Chicago Southwest. The initial planning started 10 years ago and is now in its second iteration. "As we were doing the planning, it was clear they wanted to go deeper into economic development," Harte said. 63rd Street connects the three neighborhoods.
The national LISC will make $50 million in loans available over the next 10 years, and Community Investment will commit $10 million to housing financing. LISC loans will support predevelopment and planning efforts. "We incubate," Harte said, adding that loans from LISC are paid off by the time construction gets underway.
Other partners include PrivateBank, Urban Partnership Bank, Cook County Land Bank, National Equity Fund, U.S. Bank, World Business Chicago and Comcast.
" target="_blank">Chicago Cares,
a nonprofit focused on volunteer work, will bring its volunteer network to the area, Harte said.

Captain Marvel / Shazam! Thread - Reconstruction and Ramblings
The place to talk about your favorite novels, comic books and web comics.
Post by Ares » Thu Sep 13, 2018 8:27 pm
Hey folks.
Figured I'd finally just make a general Captain Marvel thread where I can put all of my general thoughts, rambles, rants, raves and so on, rather than pollute the entire board with them.
One thing I plan on doing is my own proposal for a "Shazam - Rebirth!" storyline to bring the classic Marvel Family back to the mainstream DCU, though it's mostly just a fan idea, since Geoff Johns has proven determined to see his vision of the Nu-Shazam Franchise continue. And given the man waited nearly a decade to turn Superboy into a clone of Lex Luthor and Superman, he can be very tenacious in this regard.
But one thing I wanted to comment on out of the gate is the trademark of the phrase "Captain Marvel", which caused so much hassle for the Marvel Family since the 60s. The trademark basically means that so long as Marvel Comics regularly publishes a book with the title Captain Marvel every 5 years or so, that Marvel maintains the rights to the name as it appears on the covers of books, packaging of merchandise, and other promotional material. Billy Batson's alter-ego can be called "Captain Marvel" within any book, TV show, video game, etc., but can't be called such on the cover of the books.
One thing interesting I did find, though, going through a quick search of the trademark database.
The phrase "Captain Marvel" is clearly trademarked.
The phrase "Capt. Marvel" is not.
Hmmmmmm.

I've got a perfect villian for you,depending on your Story idea:
Origin re-telling--- Instead of doing Black Adam(Nothing against the character,but i think he's just too easy a pic),i would suggest Doctor Sivana for the fact that not only was he responsible for the Batson's deaths(and indirectly his sister's amnesia),but he also threw him out on the streets...If you want to do a "Justice Society tie-in" in the Post-Credits, just have Sivana call someone named Mister Mind...

Post by Ken » Sun Sep 16, 2018 10:06 am
I don't know trademark law, but I would not be surprised if abbreviations of words in trademarked titles are also covered.
That said, if "Capt. Marvel" is unusable (and I hope it is), I offer the following as titles that I believe would be usable, all of them avoiding the dreaded S-word:
"The World's Mightiest Mortal"
"With One Magic Word..."
"The Captain and the Wizard"
"The World's Mightiest Family"
"The Marvelous Adventures of Billy Batson"
"The Captain and his Marvelous Adventures"
"Billy Batson, Speak My Name!"

Didn't even get to start work there... I think that's a pro seeing how they deal with people.
I was offered a temp to perm role through my recruitment company. Told to wait until their FD came back off holiday (3 weeks). Just before he got back I was told they'd filled the role internally because they we're happy they had to wait for my DBS check and passport to come through (which they said they were happy to wait for). Gaps in my CV only there because if companies I'd worked for had closed, sold on, gone into administration. I wasted time and money getting all the documents they continually asked for, a passport and DBS check I didn't need all for them to go behind my back and hire internally. So many bad things to say, horrible, dishonest and discourteous people to deal with. I am quite glad I escaped before I got sucked into their two faced ways of working.
Be honest with people, especially those you want to do business with. If employees can't trust you, can clients...??
I applied online. I interviewed at Brink's, Incorporated (Heathrow, England) in December 2017.
Last week I attended an interview in Brinks Incorporated Heathrow , London . I was surprised because even they don't know who was attending the interview. They no need any identification. They didn't check my passport or license. Only they have my CV downloaded from indeed .i attended different companies in Heathrow area but never face this type of an interview .

Perception of change in sexual activity in Alzheimer's disease: views of people with dementia and their spouse-caregivers
Marcela Moreira Lima Nogueira, Jose Pedro Simões Neto, Maria Fernanda B. Sousa, Raquel L. Santos, Isabel Barbeito Lacerda, Maria Alice Tourinho Baptista, Marcia Cristina Nascimento Dourado
Journal: International Psychogeriatrics / Volume 29 / Issue 2 / February 2017
The onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects couples' relationship. We investigated the perception of change and sexual satisfaction in spouse-caregivers and their partners diagnosed with AD.
We compared 74 dyads of people with Alzheimer's disease (PwAD)/spouse-caregivers and 21 elderly dyads control. We assessed sexual satisfaction with Questionnaire on Sexual Experience and Satisfaction (QSES), cognition using a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), disease severity using a Clinical Dementia Rating scale (CDR), awareness of disease with Assessment Scale of Psychosocial Impact of the Diagnosis of Dementia (ASPIDD), functionality with Pfeffer Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ), depressive symptoms with Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD), quality of life using a Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease Scale (QoL-AD), and burden using a Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI).
We found differences between the perception and no perception of change in sexual activity of PwAD (p < 0.001), spouse-caregivers (p < 0.01), and controls (p < 0.05). Moderate to severe sexual dissatisfaction was observed in 36.5% of PwAD, 65% of spouse-caregivers, and 31% of controls. PwAD sexual satisfaction was related to cognitive impairment (p < 0.05). Spouse-caregivers sexual satisfaction was related to gender (p < 0.05) and the presence of sexual activity (p < 0.001).
The perception of change with higher sexual dissatisfaction, were significant in PwAD and their spouse-caregivers, in comparison with couples of elderly without dementia.

Web design is essential for attracting a constantly growing amount of users, every single one of which is a potential customer. It should be user-friendly and gain the trust of newcomers, be intuitive and helpful in making a choice.
The process of mobile theme design and interface development has several tricks we want to talk you through. Themes we develop have different styles, interface features and design.
Unlike desktop sites with their multi-column layout, mobile themes are mostly single-column. That is the reason why important information – product catalog, search box, 'My account', 'My cart' and 'Checkout' links – should be all positioned at the top of the page, so that a user might not waste his/her time scrolling down the page.
Don't forget to implement the search box. Often visitors are looking for a specific product and not just hanging around the site seeking amusement. These users want to compare prices in different stores, including yours, and will not spend a lot of time floundering around the product catalog. Simple use of the search box is way more preferable for a user to find the required item, that's why it should be accessed easily. Otherwise, visitors will leave the site. If you don't want to lose potential customers, set the search box on the upper side of the main page either above or below the catalog. Positioning it below the catalog makes sense only if the categories list is not too long.
It's essential to pay attention to the size of icons, buttons and links. User's finger is not a cursor, and it requires more than one pixel to browse the web via touchscreen mobile devises. Both petty buttons and small fonts cause discomfort, so feel free to enlarge them.
Creating the mobile theme, it's necessary to think about its loading speed. It would be reasonable to avoid heavy graphics and complex graphical elements and create the theme using only CSS styles instead.
It's desirable to position the mobile theme logo on white background, as far as many logo go with white nicely and it is easier to customize the theme. This is not a ground rule, though. Some companies have dark-colored sites, and dark mobile themes will fit them better.
One more thing about color combinations. It's better to use 2-3 colors in the theme for user not to be distracted from the site content. However, sometimes it's better to use more colors. Skillful combination of colors will make the content more user-friendly, i.e. color coding is tolerated.
We're doing our best to develop themes with an attractive design and intuitive interface, because usability and design are both extremely important tools to push sales forward. We offer our customers a huge variety of themes with different styles and information structure.
Eventually, it's up to you, which theme will be your gateway into the world of successful eCommerce.


GoogleGuide suggests this site and has lots of info.
Writing a letter, article, book, or invitation, or sending an email or a text message?
This site offers help on typing accented letters and other non-standard characters/symbols, in a variety of programs and on a variety of devices (phone/tablet, laptop, Windows, Mac, Android).
Microsoft Windows allows a number of different keyboard languages and layouts. Installation of the "typical", or "default" options provides capabilities for French, Spanish, and other Western European languages. Windows info.
In Windows 7, to change the keyboard languages and layout, follow these steps.
- Click Start-->Control Panel-->Region and Language--> Keyboards and Languages.
- Click the Change Keyboards... button. This opens a window called "Text Services and Input Languages".
- Click on the Add button (in the General tab). Scroll to the desired language. Click OK and then Apply.
- Finally, if you wish this to be the default choice, select it in the box call Default input language and click Apply again.
- A language bar should appear on the taskbar in the lower right where you can choose among the keyboards you have added.
This site has info for Win 10.The quick version is windows icon at bottom left, Settings, click Time and Language, then Region and Language, then + sign or English.
Keyboard layouts for many languages are available. However, they usually do not follow the "QWERTY" layout and some characters, especially punctuation, will not correspond to those printed on your keys. French uses "AZERTY" with letters a/q and z/w interchanged compared to the US keyboard.
for layout charts for several languages.
Once the language keyboards are installed, using alt+shift or a designated variation rotates through them (adjustable by changes after pressing the "Key Settings" button. Click the taskbar language icon to switch to another language.
It uses the following intuitive methods which work with most (or all) Windows applications, while keeping the familiar QWERTY keyboard.
+ 5 = Euro currency symbol for a complete chart and printer-friendly summary.
Note that this maintains the "qwerty" layout. However, the modifier keys ` ' " ~ ^ must sometimes be followed by pressing the space bar when they are actually intended. The system can accept words requiring an apostrophe, such as it's, without the space bar.
If you are having punctuation key troubles such as your computer's quote and apostrophe key behaving strangely, the cause may be that your keyboard was accidentally set to the International English Keyboard. The solution is to reset it to a standard English or United States keyboard.
Those who use only a few characters, but often and in many applications, may prefer to keep the default United States English keyboard and memorize a few Alt key codes. This method uses the Alt key plus a four digit number entered via the numeric keypad, with Num Lock on. The modified letter appears after the keys are pressed and released. For touch-typers, the disadvantage is having to move their hands to the number pad on the right of the keyboard. Examples follow. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this works in most programs, even in email and filenames. Note that some laptops have a "hidden" numeric keypad.
ALT + 0242 = ò ALT + 0243 = ó ALT + 0241 = ñ for complete lists (including Esperanto).
This is useful for the infrequent accent or symbol. It is located at Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Character Map (OR click Start, Run, and type charmap). After choosing a font, double click the desired character(s). After clicking Copy, return to your document and paste. Some fonts (such as Symbol, Webding, and Wingding) provide Greek, icons, arrows and symbols. This system may fail if a combination of keystrokes, as seen in the lower right of the window, has been reserved for another application.
PopChar is an improvement over the Character Map. When you need a special character, click the "P" box in the taskbar to display a table of characters. Select the desired character and it instantly appears in your document. HTML symbols are also available.
(but perhaps less universal than) the International English Keyboard.
Note that sometimes the software adds its own accent marks (as in café), perhaps as part of spell checking.
1. Press CTRL and one of the punctuation keys ` ' , ~ : ^ that most closely resembles the accent needed.
2. Release the two keys pressed in Step 1.
3. Press the letter to be modified and the accented character will appear.
Thus Ctrl+: with u gives ü and Ctrl+, with C gives Ç.
The following chart came from MS Word help/index/characters/inserting/type international. Newer versions have slightly different wording such as help/index/character, then click on Insert an international character by using a shortcut key. Note that some keys such as & require a shift key also.
Word 2010 has excellent features which one can reach by choosing the Insert Tab and then going to the symbols section of the "ribbon". Clicking on "Equation" provides about ten built-in equations including the area of a circle and the quadratic equation. Clicking on the Π above "Equation" opens a ribbon of math terms similar to those in the 2003/2007 math equation editor. The drop-down arrows lead to many more terms. Clicking on "Symbol" results in a variety of those, many of which can be pasted into other software.Click here for a chart of math and music symbols using the alt plus 4 digit codes..
Some Word 2010 features are similar to Word 2003/2007 where many non-English characters, as well as some icons are found in the Insert menu, then select Symbol and More Symbols. Within this Symbol Window, the font Lucida Sans Unicode provides many accented and other characters for numerous languages.The Wingding and ZDingbats fonts have many other characters. The Character Map (Start-All Programs-Accessorries-System Tools; right click to pin it to the Start Menu) also has these fonts.
Word's Microsoft Equation 3.0 editor which can compose complex equations is available on the Insert menu - object (in the text section). If it is not installed, you may have to uninstall Word and reinstall Word with the editor. Purchasing a more convenient math editor such as Math Type is advised for those who write equations often.
*The Symbol font (in the Home tab) also has many math characters. For example, after changing to the Symbol font, press the tilde key at upper left, without the shift key. You should see a bar. Then type another key such as s; the result for s is a lower case Greek sigma below the bar. If you need an x or X or other letter under the bar, change the font back to a text font such as Times Roman, and then type x or X.
*For superscripts, such as xn: type x, then press and hold Ctrl, Shift, =. Then type n. To go back to normal letters, press and hold Ctrl, Shift, =. Subscripts are similar but omit the Shift key.
Word Perfect has spell checking, thesaurus, grammar, and hyphenation for numerous languages. Another feature is creating a custom keyboard. However, the remapped keyboard may only work within the WordPerfect application.
The Web and HTML tags: If writing directly in HTML code, the tags for special characters are relatively intuitive. They start with & and end with a semi-colon . Examples are € for €, ö for ö, Ö for Ö, ñ for ñ, è for è, é for é, < for < (less than), > for > (greater than), & for &,   for non-breaking space, and © for ©.ASCII numerical codes (such as € for the Euro) are also available on the chart. for complete lists.
In a software application such as Dreamweaver, one can use the International English keyboard. Also, Dreamweaver has Insert - special characters in the menu bar. The shareware application NoteTab provides another method as well as other useful features.

Q: Lock down Windows PC with InTune to block cmd and regedit etc I am trying to use InTune to manage devices joined to Azure AD, there is no on-premise Active Directory so no access to group policy. I need to be able to completely lock down Windows 10 PC's so that the user cannot access things such as command prompt (CMD) or Regedit or anything like this that would allow them to cause any problems on the PC.
I can see in InTune where I can restrict access to the "Settings" section etc but there doesn't seem to be anything for restricting the applications mentioned above.
Imagine the PC's being in a school for example where they need to be completely restricted so that no troublesome users can mess about with them.
Does anyone know if this is possible using InTune and if so how, otherwise what are the alternatives, is there a better MDM to be using?

A: Applocker is the only way I have found to do this.
Create Custom OMA-URI
./Vendor/MSFT/AppLocker/ApplicationLaunchRestrictions/000000001/EXE/Policy
Value String
Use XML file to detail what you want to restrict.
See https://www.petervanderwoude.nl/post/managing-applocker-on-windows-10-via-oma-dm/ for fill details. Can do the same for CMD and regedit.

The 2014 Postseason Failure is Helping Columbus Crew SC this Time Around
The Black & Gold learned from last year's playoff debacle and believe it has the team better prepared this postseason.
By Pat Murphy@_Pat_Murphy Oct 29, 2015, 8:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: The 2014 Postseason Failure is Helping Columbus Crew SC this Time Around
Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports
Sometimes you don't want to reflect on the past, especially when the past is painful. But they say you have to learn from history or else you're doomed to repeat it.
Columbus Crew SC is trying to avoid repeating history, at least last year's history.
After finishing higher in the standings than a year ago, the Black & Gold have already improved on what was a successful 2014 season. With the postseason arriving on Sunday, it's time to take the next step.
Last year at this time, Crew SC entered the playoffs winning and on a roll but with very little experience. The expectations were high, but the team faltered.
"You have individual postseason experience and then you have collective postseason experience," Columbus head coach Gregg Berhalter told reporters this week. "We had some individual last year and now collectively we're there as a group."
Michael Parkhurst and Hector Jimenez were two of the players with extensive MLS Cup Playoff experience. The rest of the team was still learning how to cope with a series as opposed to regular games.
"You saw in that game last year that we lost shape in trying to press and get a goal when we're down 1-0," Berhalter said. "Losing all type of shape when you have to be patient because a 1-0 loss in the first game isn't the end of the world. You can rebound, you can come back from that. A 4-2 loss at home puts you in a real tough spot."
The Black & Gold faced the New England Revolution in the first round of the playoffs and lost the home leg 4-2, giving up a goal after just 34 minutes. As Crew SC pushed forward, looking for the equalizer at the beginning of the second half, the Revs scored again before Justin Meram pulled one back in the 64th minute.
In the end, it was a 4-2 loss that ultimately led to a 7-3 series defeat and an end to the season.
"We understand last year," Berhalter said. "We process what happened last year and we're better prepared. Now that's not saying we're going to win every game, but we're going to be better prepared."
While last season was tough to stomach at the time, Berhalter believes his team is now better prepared for this season. Sometimes, it takes a tough loss in the postseason for a team to grow into champions.
"I think it was important," Berhalter stated of last season's playoff loss. "You see any evolution of a team, you go through highs and lows and you go through events that potentially shape who you are and that's certainly an event that shaped us."
Going into the 2015 postseason, Crew SC have much more experience. Nearly every starter has played in the playoffs for the club and the other three are Kei Kamara, Harrison Afful, and Gaston Sauro, who were all very consistent this season.
The Black & Gold hope this year they aren't repeating history, but writing something new that they fans can look back on with pride.
"Collectively, we're going to be better prepared than last year," Berhalter said. "I think It's going through it. It's guys going through it, it's coaches going through it, and just understanding exactly what you have a stake."

Raleigh businesses try on downtown retail space in pop-up shop program
By Evan Sery Raleigh
RALEIGH, N.C. — A new program in downtown Raleigh is focused on increasing the visibility of minority- and women-owned businesses.
Friday was the grand opening of Pop-Up Shops at Martin Street
The goal is to provide affordable retail space in a busy location in downtown Raleigh for minority- and women-owned businesses and hope it leads to something long term
Tenants had to sign a six-month lease and can extend another six months if they choose
Friday was the official grand opening for two business owners finally operating out of their own storefront.
The program is called Pop-Up Shops at Martin Street.
The goal is to provide affordable retail space in a busy location in downtown Raleigh for minority- and women-owned businesses and hope it leads to something long term.
"I've never had this much attention — it's a lot but it's been awaited. I've been waiting for this day for so long," LaTanya Lodge said.
Today is the official grand opening of her business TresLife, an all-natural hair and skin care company.
When she launched it in 2019, TresLife was solely an online operation. But not anymore.
"Having a pop-up store, it allows us to have more exposure, be able to get in touch with people better because obviously if you're home you can't have everyone coming to your house, but more people are coming by," Lodge said.
TresLife is one of two businesses that have been accepted for downtown Raleigh's Pop-Up Shops at Martin Street.
The program gives startups a chance to sample the brick and mortar style of business before making a big investment in a long-term lease.
"It means that I can shop more, it means that I can sell more, it means that my house and closets aren't overflowing with clothes," Julian Jacobs said.
Jacobs is the other tenant occupying the pop-up shop on Martin Street.
His company is a vintage clothing business called Chances.
Jacobs says he has a passion for thrifting and started Chances during the pandemic.
"Needed a job and in school for marketing, so wanted to get some practice marketing a brand, so I created my own brand," Jacobs said.
Before his application was approved for the pop-up program, his business also was all online.
"Minority-owned businesses, we sometimes lack the tools that other people have. During high school and things like that, I didn't have the best guidance counselors to talk about college and things like that, so only in the past couple years learning about business, how they operate," Jacobs said.
Both Jacobs and Lodge hope their new shops are a catalyst for something bigger.
"Hopefully we'll have our own location somewhere downtown — that's the plan," Lodge said.
"I'll always do vintage clothing. I'll always thrift. I love thrifting but hopefully designing some clothes, learning how to sew, kinda selling my own merchandise, my own clothing," Jacobs said.
As part of their acceptance to the pop-up shop program, Lodge and Jacobs had to commit to a six-month lease at the Martin Street location.
They will have the option to extend the lease for an additional six months.


I am trying to produce output power contours as a function of the load reflection coefficients of my amplifier; does anyone have any idea how to do this in ADS?
To explain further, what I am trying to do is to let ADS tell me what are the load reflection coefficients that are going to result in a specific output power of ...dBm. That would be much in a similar way to how the gain and the noise circles work.
An example of what I am trying to do is in Gonzalez book (Microwave Transistor Amplifiers-Analysis and Design) which I am sure many of you have read. In the second edition, it is in page 355 figure 4.7.2(b). It comes under the High Power Amplifier Design section which is numbered 4.7 in chapter 4.
If you copy the project using the File>Copy Project... command you can then add your own design and use this as a template.
Also inside this project you will find a Power Point presentation that explains loadpull simulations in ADS.
Another option is to use the Amplifier Design Guide which includes several examples of loadpull simulations.
Many thanks for your help. I found the example as you suggested and they are very useful although I guess understanding how this works will take considerable time and effort.
At the end of the load-pull power point presentation, the author says "Other, more advanced capabilities are available, including source-pull, two-tone intermodulation distortion while doing a load pull, and optimization within a load pull sweep"
I have found the two-tone intermodulation distortion while doing a load pull in the design guide examples but I didn't find the Source-Pull example. Could you please let me know where it is if you have any idea?
There is a SourcePull example also in the Amplifier Design Guide. When you first open it expand the 1-Tone Nonlinear Simulation. Towards the bottom of this list you will find SourcePull-PAE, Output Power Contours.

Domestic Violence & Firearms in California
Last updated November 10, 2022 .
California has enacted some of the nation's strongest laws to protect victims of domestic violence from abuse, threats, and violence from firearms although significant implementation gaps remain. As discussed below, California generally disqualifies people from purchasing or possessing firearms if they have been convicted of domestic violence-related crimes or while they are currently subject to court restraining orders against domestic violence (or other restraining orders such as civil harassment restraining orders for people who do not have a family or dating partner relationship with the restrained person). California has also created important requirements and procedures to seek to ensure that people who become disqualified from possessing firearms due to domestic violence promptly and safely relinquish their firearms and do not illegally retain them to use to threaten or harm their victims. Improving stakeholder implementation of these laws has been an ongoing priority for Giffords in California, including through advocacy that secured $40 million in state funding in 2022 to establish the nation's largest court-based firearm relinquishment program.1 This funding will be used to fund efforts through the California Judicial Council to "ensure the consistent and safe removal of firearms from individuals who become prohibited from owning or possessing firearms and ammunition pursuant to court order."
Firearm restrictions for Domestic Violence Misdemeanors
Under federal law, people who have been convicted of certain domestic violence misdemeanors are generally prohibited from acquiring or possessing firearms for life. California law is somewhat narrower: state law generally prohibits people from acquiring or possessing firearms for 10 years after they have been convicted of a violent misdemeanor, such as assault, battery, or stalking, regardless of the victim's relationship to the offender.2
Under legislation passed in 2018, California also generally imposes a lifetime firearm prohibition on anyone convicted on or after January 1, 2019, of willfully inflicting corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition against a current or former spouse, cohabitant, or dating partner, or against the mother or father of the offender's child.3
California law also authorizes courts to prohibit defendants from purchasing or possessing firearms in cases where the defendant has been charged with, but not yet convicted of, a domestic violence misdemeanor.4
FIREARM RESTRICTIONS FOR Domestic Violence Protective Orders
Under California law, a person subject to any one of the following types of court orders is prohibited from owning, possessing, purchasing, receiving, or attempting to purchase or receive a firearm or ammunition until the order is no longer in effect:5
A temporary restraining order or injunction issued to a victim of harassment; aka a "civil harassment order"6
A temporary restraining order or injunction issued to an employer on behalf of an employee; aka "workplace violence restraining order"7
A temporary restraining order or injunction issued to a postsecondary educational institution on behalf of a student; aka "private postsecondary school violence restraining order"8
A domestic violence restraining order whether issued as an emergency order (EPO-001), ex parte, after notice and hearing, or in a judgment;9
A protective order for an elderly or dependent adult who has suffered abuse, whether the order was issued ex parte, after notice and hearing, or in a judgment, provided that the case does not involve solely financial abuse;10
An emergency protective order related to stalking;11 or
A protective order relating to a crime of domestic violence or the intimidation or dissuasion of victim or witness.12
Under California law, individuals may seek a domestic violence protective order, prohibiting the purchase or possession of firearms, against:
A spouse or former spouse;
A former or current dating partner;
Any person who is presently or has in the past resided with the individual; or
Any family member, even if the respondent has never resided with the individual.13
Prior to a hearing on the issuance or denial of a restraining order, the court must ensure that a records search is conducted to determine if the subject of the proposed order is believed to possess a firearm.14 Each order must state that the person is prohibited from owning, possessing, purchasing, receiving, or attempting to purchase or receive, a firearm while the protective order is in effect,15 and to provide information regarding the process for the respondent to relinquish their firearms and show proof that relinquishment occurred.16
California also prohibits people who are subjects of domestic violence restraining orders from owning or possessing ammunition17 and certain ghost gun kits and firearm components.18
Relinquishment of Firearms by People Subject to Protective Orders
SB 320: Domestic Violence & Guns in CA Family & Juvenile Dependency Court Factsheet
Upon being served with a domestic violence protective order in California, the respondent must relinquish his or her firearm by surrendering it immediately upon request of any law enforcement officer, or within 24 hours if no request is made. This form from the Judicial Council provides instructions on relinquishing firearms for DV respondents.19 This same 24-hour rule and procedure also applies for all other protective orders listed above except those related to stalking.
The law enforcement officer or gun dealer must issue a receipt, which the person must file with both the court and with the law enforcement agency that served the protective order, within 48 hours of being served with the order (failure to do so constitutes a violation of the protective order).20 During the period of the relinquishment order, a respondent is entitled to make one sale of all firearms that have been surrendered to a law enforcement agency.21
The application forms for domestic violence protective orders adopted by the Judicial Council and approved by the California Department of Justice require the petitioner to describe the number, types, and locations of any firearms presently known by the petitioner to be possessed or controlled by the respondent.22 Two California rules of court set up processes which ensure that firearms are relinquished in domestic violence protective order cases by requiring review hearings to determine whether the respondent has complied with relinquishment requirements, if there is reason to believe that the respondent owns guns.23 Additionally, not surrendering a firearm or abiding by the terms of the order in a civil domestic violence case can, under Rule 5.495, be considered by the court in making child custody and visitation orders and have significant consequences with respect to the rebuttable presumption under Family Code section 3044. Effective January 1, 2022, these rules of court will be codified in statute pursuant to legislation enacted in 2021.24
California law authorizes the issuance of a search warrant when the property to be seized is a firearm that a person who is subject to a protective order has failed to relinquish as required by law.25 A search warrant may also be issued when the property to be seized is a firearm at the scene of, or at premises occupied or under the control of a person arrested in connection with, a domestic violence incident involving a threat to human life or a physical assault.26
A person subject to a protective order related to stalking must relinquish his or her firearms to the local law enforcement agency for that jurisdiction, or sell those firearms to a licensed gun dealer within a time period specified in the order.27 The protective order must include a description of this requirement including the expiration date for relinquishment. Proof of surrender or sale of a firearm must be filed with the court within the specified time.28
Relinquishment of Firearms by Individuals Convicted of Domestic Violence Crimes
Proposition 63, passed by California voters in November 2016, requires defendants convicted of all firearm-prohibiting crimes, including domestic violence offenses, to provide proof that they sold or transferred their firearms within specified timeframes after conviction. It also requires assigned probation officers and courts to verify that the defendant complied with this requirement before final disposition of the defendant's case and authorizes the court to issue search warrants to recover illegally retained firearms from defendants who fail to comply. For more information about these procedures, see the Firearm Relinquishment in California section.
Removal of Firearms and Incident Reporting by Law Enforcement
Every California law enforcement agency must establish a system for recording all domestic violence-related calls, and must include a written incident report for each call noting, among other things, whether a weapon was involved.29 Any deadly weapon discovered by an officer at the scene of a domestic violence incident is subject to confiscation.30 Law enforcement officers of any state or local agency who are at the scene of a domestic violence incident involving a threat to human life or a physical assault must take temporary custody of any firearm in plain sight or discovered pursuant to a consensual or other lawful search for the protection of the officers or other persons present.31
Confiscated firearms must be held for at least 48 hours.32 With limited exceptions, if a firearm is not retained for use as evidence related to criminal charges stemming from the domestic violence incident or is not retained because it was illegally possessed, it must be made available to its owner or lawful possessor 48 hours after the seizure or as soon thereafter as possible, but no later than five business days after the owner or person in lawful possession of the firearm demonstrates that he or she has undergone the proper background check.33

Levels of the Tocantins and Itacaiúnas rivers in of Pará state have been rising since the start of the year after a period of heavy rainfall. Families have evacuated their homes in the city of Marabá, located at the confluence of the two rivers. Municipality government reported on 04 January that the rivers were already 11.50 metres above normal and around 300 families had evacuated. As of 08 January this number had increased to 700 families.
Streets and homes in low-lying areas close to the rivers are flooded. Evacuated families have been moved to 16 temporary shelters set up by the municipality. Around 2,500 humanitarian kits containing relief supplies have been distributed among the affected population.
Authorities said river levels are expected to reach 13 metres above normal, a situation that would likely lead to the inundation of at least 50% of the Velha Marabá neighbourhood of the city.

Although readers of prose fiction sometimes find descriptive passages superfluous or boring, description itself is often the most important aspect of a poem. This book examines how a variety of contemporary poets use description in their work.
Description has been the great burden of poetry. How do poets see the world? How do they look at it? What do they look for? Is description an end in itself, or a means of expressing desire? Ezra Pound demanded that a poem should represent the external world as objectively and directly as possible, and William Butler Yeats, in his introduction to The Oxford Book of Modern Verse (1936), said that he and his generation were rebelling against, inter alia, "irrelevant descriptions of nature" in the work of their predecessors. The poets in this book, however, who are distinct in many ways from one another, all observe the external world of nature or the reflected world of art, and make relevant poems out of their observations.
This study deals with the crisp, elegant work of Charles Tomlinson, the swirling baroque poetry of Amy Clampitt, the metaphysical meditations of Charles Wright from a position in his backyard, the weather reports and landscapes of John Ashbery, and the "new way of looking" that Jorie Graham proposes to explore in her increasingly fragmented poems. All of these poets, plus others (Gary Snyder, Theodore Weiss, Irving Feldman, Richard Howard) who are dealt with more briefly, attend to what Wallace Stevens, in a memorable phrase, calls "the way things look each day." The ordinariness of daily reality is the beginning of the poets' own idiosyncratic, indeed unique, visions and styles.
