The purpose of the destroy method is to make an object ready for garbage collection. This
should be thought of as a one way function. Once destroy is called no further methods should be
called on the object or properties accessed. It is the responsibility of those who implement this
function to stop all running Timers, all running Sounds, and take any other steps necessary to make an
object eligible for garbage collection.

By default the destroy method will null out all properties of the class automatically. You should call destroy
on other objects before calling the super.

Returns:

Kudos (belated but nonetheless well-earned) to Wing
September 6, 2018 George Slade
Wing Young Huie MPR Photo/Jennifer Simonson
Last month the McKnight Foundation named Wing Young Huie as its Distinguished Artist Award recipient for 2018. The honor is bestowed annually upon one artist. Here's how the foundation describes the award on their website:
[It] recognizes artists who have chosen to make their lives and careers in Minnesota, thereby making our state a more culturally rich place. Although they have the talent and the opportunity to pursue their work elsewhere, these artists have chosen to stay—and by staying, they have made a difference. They have founded and strengthened arts organizations, inspired younger artists, and attracted audiences and patrons. Best of all, they have made wonderful, thought-provoking art.
Minnesota is a tremendously vibrant and fertile ecosystem for artists. Wing, a Duluth native and long-time Twin Citizen, is the twenty-first Distinguished Artist Awardee and the program's first photographic artist.
There's an old joke in which a visitor to a small town encounters a fellow sitting in front of a store on Main Street and asks "Have you lived here your whole life?" to which the gentleman responds, "Not yet." Wing is only 63; we hope to benefit from his presence hereabouts for another couple of decades.
Alicia Eler wrote a story about Wing and the award that appeared in the Star Tribune on Monday, August 20.

Old news from Armidale and New England
Local news from newspaper archives
Posts Tagged 'grafton'
News from around Armidale, August 1865.
The Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser (NSW : 1843 – 1893), Saturday 19 August 1865
District News.
ARMIDALE.
GUYRA AND GARA STATIONS – This long-pending case, which had been referred to Messrs. Oliver and Greaves, has been submitted to an umpire, who, for a few days past, has taken all the evidence, which has been, as usual in cases of this kind, conflicting. The award, I hear, will shortly be made, and it may possibly end this lengthy affair, caused in the first instance, doubtless, by the different runs not having been properly described when taken possession of by the owners.
Grafton Road – A petition to the Minister for Lands is now being numerously signed, for transmission to Sydney, and it is hoped that this road, so beneficial to the interests of both this town and Grafton, will at once be placed under proper repair, at least so far as the sum voted will allow of.
Our Hospital – I am glad to report that the efforts of our collectors in town have been so far successful in the work of charity; and though not any of the lists have yet been handed in as complete, I hear that many of our townsmen have most liberally contributed to assist the funds.
Coroner's Inquest – Mr Markham, our district coroner, held an inquest on Wednesday last, at Mr Galvin's inn, on the remains of a shepherd who came into Armidale for medical relief. Several witnesses were examined, and the verdict was, "Died from natural causes." The deceased was named William Weeks, and prior to his death gave over about £40 to Mr Galvin, requesting to be buried in a respectable manner. Mr. Galvin complied with his request, and the remains were consigned to the grave in a hearse and full-mounted coffin. The balance in hand will be given over to the Government, as it did not appear that he had any relations or friends near.
Our School of Arts. – We are most likely to have a boisterous meeting next Friday, which has been called for by three members and subscribers contending that the late election to the offices of president, vice-president, &c, was illegal, and not in accordance with the bye-laws of the institution. It will be, of course, an evaporation for the time being, and end in a nine days' wonder. I do not offer any opinion as to these contests.
Rifle Corps. – This corps is likely, I hear, to be established. The preliminary meeting to propose rules, &c, was favourable to the affair, and it may be inferred that Armidale will shortly add, to other signs of advancement, a military force, consisting of many of our young men, possessed of ardour in the cause of "protection," when needed against an aggression which at any future period may be attempted, the hon. secretary to the meeting will no doubt use his best endeavours to further the movement.
Streets. – A new culvert is nearly completed at the east end of Beardy-street; and, though these culverts are now and then complained of by a few, they seem to be well formed of the material to hand, and our municipal officers seem determined not to be in debt if possible – a praiseworthy resolution.
Our racecourse. – The appearance of the grandstand on this ground is most unsightly. We have a racing committee, and the repairs of this shed, or an improvement in its appearance, is worthy of notice, and I trust that the attention of the committee may be attracted to this scaffolding. Query, whether is be safe in its present shaky days?
Bridge in Marsh street – The tenderer for the getting and delivery of timber is to have it on the ground by the 1st September next. The sum tendered for £15.
Butchers Meat – I observed a large draft of cattle en route toward our town on Sunday last and no doubt these fetched full prices. The high price of cattle published in your and the Sydney papers, leave little doubt but that our friends of the "cleaver" will be making a good thing, consequent upon the sudden rise – I cannot say unexpected, for, with the severity of the season, no other conclusion could be arrived at.
Grafton Mail – It is impossible to state when the usual regularity of the departure and arrival of this mail will be resumed. On Sunday last, at four p.m., no mail, and due on Friday last, at six p.m. Our residents are much inconvenienced by this failure, and I trust that a fresh tended may be accepted on the 23rd instant, in order that we may have a regular transmission of correspondence.
Agricultural. – Our farmers are in good spirits at the appearance of the young crops, which is highly gratifying to those concerned, as well as generally. I hear that a large quantity of grain from the last season is still on hand, and our mills are now in full work; but fears are entertained that a rise in flour may take place, from the quotations at Sydney and elsewhere.

New postal communication routes
Wednesday 15 January 1851, The Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1851.
WE are glad to find that the government are keeping steadily in view the desirableness of extending and improving the postal communication throughout the colony. Each year there are additions, more or less, made to the post stations in the different parts of the colony, and coach mails are being gradually substituted for horse mails.
Amongst the additions and improvements made this year, we observe several in our own division of the colony. From the 1st instant a mail direct has been established from Murrurundi to Carroll; the Tamworth and Wee Waa line has been extended on to the Barwin ; a mail has been established between Walcha and the Macdonald River; and a direct mail be tween Armidale and Grafton has been established. The whole of these extensions will afford to the settlers in the several localities great additional facilities for postal communication.
Coach mails have also this year been substituted on three of our lines for horse mails, viz, between Merriwa and Cassilis, between Murrurundi and Tamworth, and between Tamworth and Armidale. This is a great improvement, particularly on the northern line, where the mails are heavy, and the distance great. When the heavy mail bags on this line were conveyed from Murrurundi on horseback the enclosures were very liable to injury from being so much rubbed together, especially the newspapers, which not unfrequently arrived at the more distant post-offices almost entirely stripped of their envelopes. The establishment of a coach line to Armidale will secure the safer conveyance of the mails thus far, and as the bags from that place onwards are not so heavy, the residents beyond are likely to receive their papers and letters in better condition than formerly. We hope that a mail coach line will at no distant date be extended right through the northern district to Moreton Bay.
We are glad to find, also, from a notice published in the Gazette of the 7th instant, and copied into the Mercury of Saturday last, that the government are at length prepared to extend the benefits of postal communication to the residents of the coast district between Stroud and Port Macquarie. Tenders are called for to convey, from the 1st of April next, a mail once a week from and to Raymond Terrace and Port Macquarie, by way of Stroud, Gloucester, and Wingham, on the Manning River. Hitherto, the residents on the Gloucester and Manning River have been practically shut out from the benefits of postal communication, and the inhabitants of Port Macquarie have received their mails from the metropolis and elsewhere by a very circuitous route. The direct line now about to be established through the coast district will obviate both these disadvantages-much to the satisfaction and benefit, we apprehend, of all the parties interested.

Wonderful Landscapes.
BY SYDNEY SMITH. JUNIOR.
During a recent visit to Ebor I was much impressed with the possibilities of this part of the State as a tourist resort.
Ebor is 53 miles by road from Armidale, on the way to Grafton. The road is in excellent order in some parts, with the local shire council doing its best to improve the remainder, which is in fair condition; and when the council completes its work the whole trip will be most comfortable for motor driving.
Around Ebor and Guy Fawkes can be seen some of the most magnificent scenery in this State if not Australia. Through the placid little village of Ebor flows the river of the same name. It is never dry, and abounds with trout. It wends its way for about half a mile on one side of the township to the commencement of the wonderful Ebor Gorge. The two falls arc scenes of beauty, and in winter time are sometimes frozen, making a beautiful spectacle as they hang in huge icicles. The water from the Ebor eventually finds an outlet in the Clarence River. Around Ebor are various other streams-such as the Styx which are the trout fisherman's paradise.
POINT LOOKOUT.
I had the pleasure of visiting Point Lookout, about ten miles from Ebor. As motor traffic cannot get to this beauty spot, our party did the trip by horseback on horses kindly supplied by the Turnbull family, of Kotupna station. Mr Thomas Turnbull was our guide and philosopher.
From Point Lookout, the highest peak in New England, being 5300 feet above sea level, a most expansive and wonderful panorama meets the eye. Although the day was not a particularly clear one, we were able to observe with (he naked eye the breakers rolling on to the beach at Macksville, about 40 miles away as the crow files. On a clear frosty day it is quite easy to see the boats that pass this beach.
To add to the beauty of the view, we had the mountain mist rising from one of the deep canyons on our left, while on our right the Bellinger and Nambucca rivers wended their way seawards.
The densely timbered country in the valleys below Point Lookout abound in brush turkey, lyre bird, wonga pigeons, and dingoes, to say nothing of death adders and other reptiles. In some parts there are many large cedar trees, but it is impossible to get them out to market.
The view, however, as regards expansiveness, ruggedness, and beauty, must compare more than favourably with views of a similar nature in any part of the Commonwealth. It reminded me of the Valley of the Thousand Hills, outside Durban, in South Africa. To anyone visiting Ebor or travelling from Armidale to Grafton, I unhesitatingly say, spend an hour and wander off the road to see the Ebor Falls, and if you can spare a day borrow or hire a horse and visit Point Lookout.
On the way to Ebor the tourist can also observe another wonderful view by going off the road for about a mile near Wollombi (sic) to see the famous gorge. Into this gorge the Wollombi River falls a distance of 1500 feet on one side, while on the other the Chandler River falls a similar distance.

The "Red Bushranger" at large near Armidale
Friday 14 June 1918, The Advertiser (Adelaide)
Sydney, June 13.
The bushranger who recently began his career at Rockvale, near Armidale, has eluded the vigilance of the police who have scoured the whole of the Hernani, Tyringham, and Guy Fawkes districts. It is believed that he is now making for either Glen Innes or Grafton. The man who is known as the "Red Bushranger" told a resident that when he was on one side of the Ebor Falls he plainly saw two police on the other side. He would have shot them both if the distance had not been too great.

Tuesday 26 June 1866, The Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser
Nearly all the works under the department of minor. roads in the Clarence and Richmond district have been arranged for. Tenders have been invited for a bridge over the Saltwater River, on the Casino Road, and it is proposed to let metalling of approaches to Casino Ford, and some clearing through Bargo Brush. On the Tenterfield Road the improvement of Currabubla Hill, and the Sandy Hill, and several small works near Fairfield and Tenterfield have been let ; also the repairs to bridges near Wyon and at Tenterfield. On the Tenterfield and Glen Innes Road, the cutting and metalling at Bolivia has been let, also some metalling near Tenterfield. On the Grafton and Armidale Road, works have been let to amount of available funds, at Blaxland's Swamp, Urara Bridge, approaches to Blick's River Bridge, and at Shea's Scrub ; also, clearing and culverts between Hillgrove and Armidale. On the road from Armidale to Glen Innes, arrangements for the works are in progress. Arrangements are being made for the commencement of works on the Newton Boyd Road. In the Kempsey and Port Macquarie district all the works have been arranged for except the bridge over Hyndman's Creek, for which no tenders have been received. On the road from Singleton to Cassilis, all the works are let and in progress, and the screwing up of Nundle Bridge has been ordered.-Herald's Summary, June 23.

Hunter River District News
Tuesday 27 May 1856, The Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser
(From the Armidale Express, May 17.)
CIRCUIT COURTS,-The great inconvenience experienced by the inhabitants of the Northern districts of the colony, from the want of Circuit Courts nearer than Maitland, has a very injurious tendency, inasmuch as serious crimes have repeatedly been overlooked, solely on account of the difficulties and expense of prosecuting them, at Maitland. Maitland is 250 miles from Armidale, and persons accused of criminal offences are often sent there from a much greater distance than Armidale. It is surprising that, although the inhabitants of the Northern districts have complained of this (great grievance.for years past, the Government have remained inert, and little has been done towards removing it. New England is rapidly acquiring an extensive population. At the Rocky River diggings, alone we believe that there are from twelve to fifteen hundred people, and this number is being augmented every day. There is every prospect of such an extensive development of new gold fields in this district, that the population must largely increase. Geologists are of opinion that the greater part of New England will yet be proved a gold- producing country. With such facts before us, it requires no prophet to foretell a large accession to our population – in fact, our present numbers may be trebled within the next year. In whatever different lights, the occupation of gold digging may be viewed, there is one subject on which people generally will agree – that much greater facilities for the commission of prime are presented at diggings than in the midst of well-ordered, settled communities. A vigorous movement has been going on for some time past respecting Circuit Courts at Tamworth. We consider they are necessary there also. Tamworth is 175 miles from Maitland, and is the capital of the Liverpool Plains district. It is consequently, as the centre of a large tract of country, possessing already considerable population. Although only 75 miles from here, there is very little connection between Tamworth and Armidale. Liverpool Plains and New England are separate and distinct from each other; and we think that, instead of any jealousy existing about which should gain the establishment of Circuit Courts – thereby throwing the other out of consideration – the inhabitants of both out to combine their best efforts to obtain assizes for each.
CENSUS FOR ARMIDALE AND THE POLICE DISTRICT.-The following is a comparative statement, based upon the official census returns for the town and police district of Armidale, for which we are indebted to the courtesy of Mr. Bligh, C.P.S. :-
1856.                   1851
Armidale. -     Males..... 499}  858     Males}  556
Females... 359}        Females}
Remainder of
police dis-         Males 1971} 3020     Males} 2759
trict of Ar-      Females 1049}        Females}
midale ...                      ----            ----
Total population of police dis. 3878            3315
From the above statement it will be seen that the increase in the population of this township during the past five years has been – Males, 170; females, 132; in the aggregate 302, or about 52½ per cent. In the remainder of the police district the increase has been – Males, 111; females, 150; in the aggregate 261, or nearly 9½ per cent. We think the above results are nothing more than might be expected to accrue from the influences to which the district has been subjected during the period referred to. The main deduction from these premises are that the number of persons in the township has increased in the ratio of five to one, as compared with those occupied in pastoral pursuits ; and taking into consideration the fact that the occupation of gold digging employs a considerable number of those set down for the district population, it may fairly be assumed that the pastoral interest in this district in the year 1856, employs a smaller number of people than it did in 1851.
GOODS BY THE CLARENCE LINE. – During the past week, four heavily loaded drays have passed the Express Office, from the Clarence. We have also been informed that a dray lately arrived at Hillgrove, from Grafton, bringing up supplies and a family. These are proofs, amongst many others, that the Clarence line might be made a most desirable road for the transit of goods and produce to and from New England.
THE ROADS. – We have been informed by a gentleman who had occasion to travel over the Moonbies lately that the condition of the roads about that locality was scandalous. There were nine drays waiting at the foot of the first pinch until the road should dry – two of the drays having families with them. The road at the time was so extremely bad that our informant believed fifty bullocks could not have taken up a loaded dray. He also stated that he had passed on the road about 150 men, women, and children, bound for the Rocky River diggings.
THE ROCKY RIVER. – The diggings here are going ahead greatly, and the number of fresh arrivals is astonishing. On Tuesday last I saw a specimen of gold in quartz-not one speck only, but completely encompassing the stone. It is a handsome specimen, and I suppose worth about £2. The finder declared he procured it on these diggings. Our population is increasing with extraordinary rapidity : we want population to open up the hitherto undeveloped resources of New England. It is the opinion of most persons that New England is a gold field more or less, throughout. I have heard of several parties who have struck upon fresh discoveries of the precious metal outside the limits of the diggings. All parties appear doing well, a proof of which is the extraordinary demand for buckets, ropes, shovels, calico, and all sorts of digging tools. Two or three accommodation houses have been opened-one, in particular, which deserves that liberal support its enterprising proprietor is sure to receive.

Book import relief; public libraries pleased.
Thursday 29 June 1944, The Sydney Morning Herald
The formation of public libraries in New South Wales would be greatly assisted by the permission granted to them this week to import fiction and general literature from the United States, the principal librarian at the Public Library, Mr. J. Metcalfe, said yesterday.
Mr. Metcalfe, who is also executive member of the Book Publishing Committee and the Book Sponsorship Committee, said that about a dozen new public libraries were already planned under the recent State Library Act, including libraries at Broken Hill, Inverell, Grafton, Wagga, Lismore, Jerilderie, Glen Innes, and a children's library at Albury.
These centres could now go ahead with their plans in the knowledge that they would not be affected by the previous ban on the import of general literature from the United States.
A booksellers' representative said that the trade was disappointed that greater freedom had not been given for the import of general literature from the United States.
"Many standard classics are unobtainable in London since bombing destroyed publishers' stocks and proof sheets," he said. "We are not asking for permission to import 'Deadwood Dicks' and cheap thrillers. Limited import of otherwise unobtainable classics and good quality general literature could be permitted from the United States."

I dreamed I was transformed into an eagle | Prophetic Word 2022
Jonathan & Jilliana
Before sharing this dream of being transformed into an eagle, and the prophetic word I believe is from the Lord for 2022, it is good to understand the nature of prophetic words being distributed widely on social media platforms, why not to put more trust in them then they deserve, but to let the Holy Spirit bear witness in your heart if something is valuable for you or not.
0:00 What you need to know about widely distributed prophetic words
2:12 You have the Holy Spirit to help you
3:11 Every Christian is called to cultivate their relationship with the Holy Spirit through The Word and Prayer
5:56 The Lord gave me a dream I was transformed into an eagle
7:52 The meaning of the prophetic dream
9:53 Prophetic word 2022
14:41 The harvest is ripe in 2022
15:40 You can never waste a moment in prayer
16:12 Prophetic message for the church about eagles
God gave me a dream about being transformed into an eagle, and as I watched a massive eagle fly through an opening in a wall into its "destiny" I heard "that is where the pilots go."
This is a prophetic dream and a prophetic word for 2022, a prophetic message for the church, and a prophetic word to the prophets in the church. We are being called to consecration, to active service, and cut all the baggage and weight that stops us from running our races with perseverance. We can only do so by mortifying the deeds of the flesh through obedience to the Holy Spirit, by being transformed by the renewing of our minds. God is gathering the eagles together. We are changing seasons.

If there is anything about the dream that stands out to you, or something the Lord speaks to your heart that I may not have shared, please share it in the comments. This is an incredible hour we live in. Shalom family of God.
Pinoy Fries March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
Your dream is very much in line with the prophetic words of Rick Joyner in his book The Final Quest. A whole chapter called The Return of the Eagles in the book gives a description of a whole body of eagles assisting and ministering to and working together with the saints to help the Body to become overcomers and equipping them for the final battle of the Lord.
Peter LaPoitne March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
Hi Jonathan, would you be willing to have a conversation at some point? I identify with your story pre Christ; the addiction/party/drug lifestyle. I had a powerful experience after my baptism but now I've been hidden and I'm in that mind renewal process. My mind has always been afflicted. I was suicidal at a very young age, like 5 or six.
I spend a great deal of time in prayer and studying the word but God and the Holy Spirit still seem distant. I keep loosing the mind battles, and I'm just looking for some hope from someone who came from a similar place of addiction like myself.
I've buried myself in church and small groups. God has even pulled me away from the small groups. I think I was over sharing, getting to much human feedback, then becoming even more confused, and God is trying to get me to rely more on him.
I struggle with orphan, abandonment, and religious spirits which keep derailing me. These were removed for over a month after baptism. I fell back into sin when I wasn't hearing from God. Now I can't seem to get back to that place of peace of mind and spirit that I had experienced for the first time in my life. It feels like punishment for my failure. I'm just very confused.
Fig Tree March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
AMEN AMEN AMEN thank you 🙏 God is multidimensional with wisdom beyond our understanding. Take it to the Lord as his Holy word directs us to. Pray to the Lord for the Holy Spirit to guide you and give you the wisdom for his glory and honor.
Thank you. That was good AMEN AMEN AMEN🙏🙏🙏💕🩸🩸 so good. Thank you again and God bless all of you and your family.
Deanna Barrett March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
I just recorded two songs two weeks ago (like around the time you did this YouTube), and then I saw two eagles in the road I live off of. I looked up the verse about eagles
[31] But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
I ended up titling the project "They Shall Run," because the two songs relate to running the race that's set out before us. "Prodigal" is about the backslider coming home, and "Staying in the Race" is about endurance. You can look it up on music streaming services under Deanna Barrett "They Shall Run." The album release is a prophetic word for us to finish the race strong, because Jesus's return for His Bride in the Rapture is soon coming!!!

This was an amazing word🔥
Michele Gladle March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
Okay, so when you mentioned pilots, you got my attention. The Lord has given prophetic dreams in 2020 and just a handful in 2021. Two or so months ago I had a dream I was at the airport. I knew in my spirit the world was in chaos. There was this flight that was ready for take off. I was ready to be a passenger, but then two males came and said I was the pilot. I was shook, I was never a pilot before…I had never flown a plane, matter a fact I have never been in one! Nevertheless I saw the urgency and the next scene I was in the cockpit flying the plane into the air….all I could think though was that ….surely I am going to die. And then I woke up. I've pondered and pondered this dream and it really bothered me. Could this resemble yours? Dying to ourselves and fulfilling the call God has chosen for us? God has told me in the prayer closet for two years that He has chosen me as a vessel. So far I haven't found my calling….other than praying and sanctifying my life through listening to His Holy Spirit in my daily life. That's all. I would love your imput!
Anne March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
Pilots go high. They see broader spaces. They are closer to heaven. They bring others with them. Die to self to lead others.

I dream of multiple tornadoes and cause damage to its way. Then one massive tornado approaches my way. I prayed and asked God to take it out then it disappeared gradually and the sky turns bright. What does it mean?
Émilio Fortin March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
thank you brother
remain close to the cross.. nice
New Song March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
Precious Lord Jesus, Let love rain, like sweet mercy from heaven. Let mercy flow like waves and waves flowing richly from the heart of God. May love arise … may mercy come forth … may love and mercy bring forth hearts of compassion. Compassion for the lost, compassion for the thirsty, compassion for the hungry, compassion for the poor, compassion for the homeless, compassion for others. Not in just words or deeds done, but from the depths of the heart seeking to give Glory to God through open arms embracing the needs of others. May we look with the heart of God. May we see with his eyes or mercy and compassion and may we do all things to His Glory. For the river of God is love, may it flow richly through us. For the river of God is sweet mercy, may it flow richly through us. For the river of God is compassion, may they see it in our eyes, hear it from our hearts and see it through open arms embracing the needs of others. May we place others even before ourselves and love more like Jesus did. For the harvest is plentiful … and the hands of time are slowing.

Hey I don't know if you need to hear this or not but never stop what you are doing because you touch peoples holy spirt by sharing with people you have showed me my faith in a bright light and I thank you so much for that I'm so lost atm but I forgot who got me this far and who I have to give my life to and you showed me that again
Arnel Cañadas March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
I've already been called as an eagle since I was born. But I came to know God in 1986 when I'm 14 yr old youth. I've been through many dreams and many have been fulfilled. I've gotten visions since 2019 until now.
I already saw that I'll be used in these last days. In fact I already entered His Secret Place since November and have received my Commission only these December 16th for Rebuilding, Restoration, Revival.
I hope this short testimony will encourage others to heed their calling.
You might be a late bloomer but you're going to lead at last for such a time as this. As the Word says that there will be who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
It takes a high sacrifice to fulfill what God has already shown us ways ahead unti that perfect time.

What an encouraging reminder that we are to keep our focus on bringing people into a saving knowledge of Christ, and to trust that He knows the end from the beginning.
ottertok March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
Thankyou once again, I've been praying every day and really enjoy reading and listening to God's words. I don't know if it means anything but I'm retired now but was and still am a licensed pilot and always loved soaring like an eagle.
Maggie Bertola March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
I opened up the bible to a random page a couple of days ago and Holy Spirit led me to the parable of the Eagles and the vine. He also has been showing me Eagle synchronicities.
Troy Black March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
This is very encouraging and something we have to keep in mind when listening to prophecy.
Paula Balch March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am

Twala Thrasher March 21, 2022 At 8:39 am
The Lord has called me to start going back to AA. The 12-step program believes in finding your "higher power" to stay sober and the Lord has kept me sober three and a half years but John 14:6 and Jesus said to them I am the Way the Truth and the Life no one gets to the Father except through Me
I know I'm there to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ but it's so hard to talk to addicts about Jesus. Please y'all pray for me so I can get His message to them properly

Isaiah 40:31 – But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Marriage What's the Point is a journey of pain, reconciliation and discovery as God showed Jesse and Kara how the wounds and scars from their past were affecting how they treated each other. They found it impossible to reflect the heart of God to each other while being held captive by things like self-hate, fear and bitterness. Knowing they aren't the only ones to have been imprisoned by those chains, they desire to show others the path of freedom God revealed to them.
Marriage What's the Point? will challenge and encourage you, inviting you on a path to restoration that is different than you might expect. There is hope! Find it with Jesse and Kara in Marriage What's the Point?

Marco Piavônio Vitorino () foi um imperador gálico entre 269 e 271 e sucessor do fugaz Mário no trono do Império das Gálias. Ele foi assassinado por um marido enciumado depois de tentar seduzir a mulher dele.

Reinado
Oriundo da Gália, Vitorino nasceu numa família muito rica e serviu no exército de Póstumo, o primeiro dos imperadores gálicos. Ele demonstrou ser um soldado muito hábil e alcançou a posição de tribuno pretoriano em 266/267, ascendendo rapidamente à posição de co-cônsul com Póstumo em 268. É possível ainda que Póstumo o tenha promovido à função de prefeito pretoriano.

Depois de arquitetar a morte de Mário, Vitorino foi declarado imperador pelas tropas em Augusta dos Tréveros (moderna Tréveris, na Alemanha) no outono de 269. Sua preocupação imediata era evitar que as províncias mais ocidentais voltassem para o controle do Império Romano, algo que lhe pareceu imediato nas primeiras semanas de seu reinado, quando apenas as províncias na Gália, Germânia e Britânia haviam reconhecido-o. A Hispânia desertou e declarou-se em favor de Cláudio Gótico, que enviou seu general mais confiável, Placidiano, para o sudeste da Gália com ordens de atrair para a esfera romana o maior número possível de cidades. Ele rapidamente capturou Cularo (Grenoble), mas não conseguiu avançar mais.

A presença de Placidiano inspirou Augustoduno (Autun) a abandonar Vitorino e declarar sua intenção de se juntar a Cláudio, forçando Vitorino a marchar par ao sul para cercá-la. Depois de sete meses, a cidade caiu e as tropas de Vitorino saquearam e destruíram completamente a cidade. Vitorino em seguida retornou para Colônia Cláudia Ara Agripinense em triunfo. Permanece um mistério o motivo pelo qual Cláudio não permitiu que Placidiano socorresse Augustoduno e especula-se que Cláudio, que estava muitíssimo ocupado seja na Itália - contra os alamanos - seja nos Bálcãs - contra os godos -, não queria abrir mais uma frente na Gália, o que o obrigaria não só a um grande esforço militar, mas também faria com que ele tivesse que assumir a difícil fronteira do Reno se tivesse sucesso. Há evidências que sugerem que Cláudio estava, além disso, tendo dificuldades no oriente, o que só piorava sua situação.

Vitorino foi assassinado em Colonia no início de 271 por Aticiano, um de seus oficiais, cuja esposa Vitorino teria supostamente seduzido. Como o motivo foi pessoal e não político, a mãe de Vitorino, Vitória (ou Vitrúvia) conseguiu se manter no poder depois da morte do filho e arranjou para que ele fosse deificado. Depois de pagar uma considerável quantia às tropas, ela conseguiu também que Tétrico I fosse aclamado imperador. Outro comandante parece ter sido também proclamado, Domiciano II, mas ele foi rapidamente eliminado.

Vitorino aparece entre os "Trinta Tiranos" da "História Augusta". Esta crônica, pouco confiável, traz também uma breve descrição de Vitorino Júnior, supostamente um filho de Vitorino que teria sido nomeado imperador por sua família no dia da morte do pai e que teria sido morto imediatamente depois pelas tropas. A História Augusta afirma também que pai e filho teriam sido sepultados perto de Colônia Cláudia Ara Agripinense em túmulos de mármore.

Notas

 Algumas inscrições trazem seu nome como M. Piavvonius Victorinus, assim como o primeiro lote de moedas emitidas em Colônia Cláudia Ara Agripinense. Um mosaico de Augusta dos Tréveros chama-o de Piâneo (Pianoius).

For example, in my game, you move the character with the keys W, A, S, and D. When the program runs, it shows a blank screen, and doesn't show everything that should be drawing, until I press W, A, S, or D.
If I left anything out that would be helpful let me know.  I thought maybe it was trying to paint before the images were initialized, so I put a repaint after I initialized them, and it didn't help.

A: The problem is that since none of the boolean values up, down, left or right is true, the logic in gameLoop() won't call for a repaint()! This can be fixed by explicitly calling repaint() from the main(String[]) method.
public static void main(String[] args) {
    inAttic = true;
    px = 600;
    py = 400;
    //frame.setSize(1200, 800);
    ForgottenMain fm = new ForgottenMain();
    frame.add(fm);
    frame.pack();

    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    frame.setResizable(false);

    frame.setVisible(true);
    fm.repaint();
}

Other tips:

*

*Wrong method: public void paint(Graphics g){ .. should be public void paintComponent(Graphics g){ super.paintComponent(g); .. (calling the super method is also important).

*frame.setSize(1200,800); .. setSize(1200,800); This is wrong, the panel will be less than 1200 x 800 because of the frame decorations, and layout managers typically ignore the size over the preferred size. To fix it:

*

*@Override public Dimension getPreferredSize() { return new Dimension(1200,800); } in the painting surface (the JPanel).

*Add the panel to the frame.

*Call frame.pack(); after adding the component and calling frame.setResizable(false);, but before frame.setVisible(true); ..

*player = ImageIO.read(new File("char.png")); Application resources will become embedded resources by the time of deployment, so it is wise to start accessing them as if they were, right now. An embedded-resource must be accessed by URL rather than file. See the info. page for embedded resource for how to form the URL.

*if (e.getKeyCode() == 87) { Don't use 'magic numbers' instead use the KeyEvent.VK_... Not only does it provide compile time checking, but is also better documentation for other programmers.

Star Appeal Slots
Bask in the golden spotlight of fantastic winnings each time you play a game of "Star Appeal" slots. It is a five reel and thirty payline game that allows the player to risk up to ten coins on each payline. With coin values varying from one penny to twenty-five cents apiece this can be either a truly low risk game or high stakes venture. There are also many different bonus opportunities included as well.
The Hollywood theme for this game is depicted on the reels and gaming screens using such icons as the starlet, star, agent, paparazzi, dog, golden statuette, and the A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 symbols as well.
The "Star Appeal" slots game uses the sumptuous starlet symbol as the wild icon and it will substitute itself for any symbol, except the scatter, in order to complete a winning combination. The symbol must fall along the active payline, however, for the combination to be successfully completed.
The scatter symbol for this game is the star image, and it too will complete winning combinations, but does not have to strike the active payline in order to so. It must appear at least two or more times anywhere along the reels to make the win.
Whenever any player hits three or more scatters on the reels they will automatically enter into the bonus round screen. This asks the player to select three stars from a collection of nine on the screen. Each of the stars contains a random prize which might have some impact on the automatic ten free spins which is the second part of the bonus round. The first ten free spins have a two times multiplier, but special multipliers might also be won in the selection round of the game.
Payouts for the "Star Appeal" slots game are calculated by the number of matching symbols which hit a payline. For five symbols the player receives five thousand coins in the amount wagered for the starlet, thirty-five hundred for the agent, two thousand for the paparazzi, seven hundred fifty for the dog, five hundred for the golden statuette, one hundred fifty for the Ace or the King, one hundred twenty-five for the Queen or the Jack, and one hundred for the 10 or the 9.
For four symbols on the payline the player receives two thousand coins in the amount wagered for the starlet, five hundred for the agent, two hundred fifty for the paparazzi, one hundred for the dog, forty for the golden statuette, thirty for the Ace or the King, twenty for the Queen or the Jack, and fifteen for the 10 or the 9.
Three symbols along any active payline will win the player one hundred coins for the starlet, seventy-five for the agent, forty for the paparazzi, thirty for the dog, twenty for the golden statuette, fifteen for the Ace or the King, ten for the Queen or the Jack, and five for the 10 or the 9.
Only two images pay for two symbols on the payline and the starlet wins five coins while the agent pays three.


How do human beings make sense of rapid changes in their environment? What happens when we reach an age where keeping up with the next "new thing" is just a waste of time?
Parents have no choice but to do their best to understand the world that their children live in.
Elvis Presley scored his first hit with Heartbreak Hotel in 1956. Parents born in the 1920s really struggled with the changes brought by a generation of rock and rollers. But by the time the Beatles showed up on Ed Sullivan in 1964, those same parents were reconciled to the idea of youth culture. The Fab 4 needed a haircut, but the idea of teenagers going crazy for pop music was an established phenomenon.
On the other hand, folks who were 65 when Elvis ignited the airwaves had a completely different experience. These were people born in the Victorian Era, who fought in World War One, and survived the flu pandemic. These were people whose adult lives were dominated by Depression and war. When radio played Heartbreak Hotel, they were at retirement age, so not only did they have no children to relate to Elvis through, they had no younger co-workers either. If you were 65 in 1956 you had absolutely no incentive to adapt to the world of rock and roll. Stack some 78s on the phonograph and remember the good old days before "teenager" was even a word.
But the world kept changing. Twenty years later, Gerald Ford ran against Jimmy Carter for President of the United States. Nixon had hosted Elvis at the White House. How did the folks who had never ever wrapped their head around Elvis vote in the 1976 Election?
They didn't vote at all, actually. They were dead.
In 1956, the year of Heartbreak Hotel, 14.9 million Americans were age 65 or older.
In 1976, the year of Ford vs Carter, only 1.9 million were left (age 85 and older).
That's a survival rate for the pre-Elvis Generation of 12.7%.
Fast forward 40 years from 1976 to 2016.
In the battle between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the story which got the most press coverage, by far, was the fact that four years ago, Hillary Clinton had used a private server for Official State Department Business. Over time we learned that this private server broke exactly zero laws and had exactly zero negative consequences for the United States and its citizens. Exactly zero. But can you relate to the mix of work and private emails?
So, work emails? When did that even become a thing? Approximately 1996. The Internet was basically the Elvis of 1996. If you were a parent at that time, the World Wide Web was something you had to get a handle on, fast. Even if your children were grown, the Internet radically changed the world of work. Folks who were retired in 1996 may have eventually figured out Facebook and how to forward emails to their friends, but they never experienced the connected workplace. They were a generation whose decades of racist, sexist and just plain stupid workplace conversations took place on the phone or in person and vanished into the ether just as soon as they happened. The massive change wrough by the trove of recorded workplace conversations entirely passed them by.
In 1996, the breakthrough year of the Internet, 33.9 million Americans were age 65 and over.
In 2016, the year of Trump vs Clinton, 6.3 million of those pre-email Americans were still around (were age 85 and over).
That's a survival rate of 18.5% for the pre-email generation.
From Census Report Demographic Trends In The 20th Century.
The point isn't that any specific age cohort couldn't adapt to any particular change. The point is that every year there are more changes and, simultaneously, more people who are too old to adapt to those changes.

2. The Institute shall function as a Secretariat for the arbitration tribunal, cf. however, Section 9 (1).
A request for arbitration shall be submitted to the Institute by the parties or by one of them. The Institute shall notify the defendant(s) immediately of the submission of a request for arbitration. A copy of the Institute's Rules of Procedure shall be sent to the parties, cf. Section 4 (3).
1. A request for arbitration shall be in writing and shall include a clear statement of :
1. The parties to the case.
2. The claim or claims.
3. A short description of the issue in dispute.
4. Other information necessary to enable the Institute to appoint a Chairman and members of the arbitration tribunal in accordance with sections 5 and 6.

Where the parties to the dispute are not all domiciled in the same country, the person appointed Chairman shall be from a country other than either of the parties, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
2. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three members unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The Institute may recommend the parties to accept settlement of the dispute by a sole arbitrator in cases not involving matters of principle, where the amounts concerned are small, and where the Institute otherwise considers such a solution to be expedient and justifiable. To qualify for appointment a sole arbitrator must satisfy the criteria in (1). A sole arbitrator should also hold a law degree, unless the Institute considers it appropriate in view of the size or nature of the case to appoint a person with a special technical qualification or experience. Such an appointment shall be contingent upon the agreement of the parties to the case.
3. A party, who according to the agreement between the parties is required to appoint a member of the arbitration tribunal, shall supply the name and address of the desired candidate within 30 days of receiving notification from the Institute that a request for arbitration has been submitted.

4. The Chairman must hold a law degree. If the parties so desire, or if the Institute considers it appropriate in view of the special nature of the dispute and there is no objection by either party, the Institute may appoint as members of the arbitration tribunal one or more persons having special technical, commercial or other qualifications or experience which may be of value to the arbitration tribunal.
5. On the death of an arbitrator a new arbitrator shall be appointed. The same shall apply where the Institute accepts the resignation of an arbitrator or where the Institute considers that the case is not being satisfactorily conducted by the arbitration tribunal. The appointment of a new arbitrator shall take place according to the same rules of procedure as for the appointment of the original arbitrator. The arbitration tribunal shall decide whether the procedural actions already taken in the case should be repeated.
1. The person called upon to act as arbitrator shall notify the Institute of any circumstances which may influence his independence and impartiality as an arbitrator. The Institute shall decide whether any such circumstances prevent his appointment as arbitrator.
2. After the establishment of the arbitration tribunal either party may challenge an arbitrator and the challenge shall in the first instance be decided by the arbitration tribunal. The tribunal's decision as to whether an arbitrator may continue in office or should resign may be referred to the Institute by either party for re-examination and/or be brought before the ordinary courts in accordance with Section 4 of the Danish Arbitration Act No. 181 of May 24, 1972.
3. If the appointment of an arbitrator is revoked, the Institute shall appoint a new arbitrator in accordance with the same rules which applied to the appointment of the original arbitrator.
1. As soon as it has appointed the arbitrators, the Institute shall notify the parties by registered letter of the establishment of the arbitration tribunal, indicating the names and addresses of the arbitrators.
1. Any decisions relating to the jurisdiction of the arbitration tribunal and to the validity of the arbitration agreement shall be made by the arbitration tribunal itself.
2. The arbitration agreement shall continue to be binding even if, either prior to the request for arbitration or during the arbitration proceedings, a party requests a court or other judicial authority to issue an injunction, attach property, or perform other provisional judicial actions. The party shall notify the arbitration tribunal of any requests for such measures.
3. Where arbitration has been agreed by the parties and an arbitration tribunal has been appointed by the Institute, the proceedings shall be completed, regardless of the absence of a party from a hearing or a party's refusal to participate in the proceedings.
1. Correspondence between the arbitration tribunal and the parties shall take place via the Institute. However, the arbitration tribunal may decide to correspond directly with the parties. In such cases the arbitration tribunal and the parties involved shall send a copy of all correspondence to the Institute.
2. All messages and notifications from the Institute or the arbitration tribunal shall be regarded as having been lawfully received by a party when send by registered letter to the party's address or last known address, where it can be proven that such party has obtained knowledge thereof.
1. The parties shall furnish security for the estimated arbitration costs, including a fee to cover the Institute's costs in connection with the case.
2. The Institute shall determine the nature and amount of the security. Normally, identical security is requested from both parties. If the defendant does not furnish security, the claimant shall deposit the full amount.
3. The security must be furnished prior to commencement of the proceedings. Should the extent of the case prove greater than originally anticipated, the Institute may require additional security prior to the continuation of the proceedings.
1. Where the request for arbitration is not in the form of a statement of claim, the claimant shall submit such a statement to the Institute or to the arbitration tribunal not later than four weeks after receiving notice of the establishment of the arbitration tribunal.
2. The statement of claim shall contain the claimant's claim, particulars of the facts upon which the claim rests, and a list of the documents upon which the claimant intends to rely. These documents shall be enclosed in the form of originals or copies. The statement of claim, with exhibits, shall be submitted in five copies. The Institute shall forward one copy to the defendant.
3. Where the arbitration tribunal does not consist of three members, the number of copies shall exceed the number of arbitrators by two. Where there are several defendants, a corresponding additional number of copies shall be submitted.
1. When the statement of claim, with exhibits, is sent to the defendant, the latter is granted a time limit within which to present his statement of defence and the documents upon which he intends to rely, in a number of copies corresponding to the statement of claim.
2. Any counterclaim and the circumstances on which such counterclaim rests shall be included in the statement of defence or in a rejoinder. The party served with a counterclaim shall be granted an appropriate period within which to prepare a written response in a reply or in an additional plea.
1. The parties may also exchange a reply and rejoinder before a date is fixed for the oral hearing. These written statements shall be submitted prior to a deadline assigned in each individual case by the arbitration tribunal.
2. Claims, allegations or defences which are not submitted within the period provided for the exchange of written pleas cannot be presented without the consent of the opposing party except with the permission of the arbitration tribunal in special circumstances. Special circumstances are deemed to exist in cases where the tribunal considers that on balance the interests of the party seeking permission so dictate and where, at the same time, there are considered to be mitigating circumstances for the non-submission of the claim, allegation or defence within the period provided for the exchange of written pleas.
3. Well in advance of the oral hearing each party should notify the arbitration tribunal and the other party of the witnesses they wish to produce, and submit copies of the documents upon which they intend to rely. Where a party has failed to observe these procedures, the tribunal may consider it necessary either to postpone the hearing, refuse permission for the examination of such witnesses, or rule that such documents are inadmissible.
Where it is considered desirable that experts be appointed by the arbitration tribunal, or that the arbitration tribunal or its own expert members make a survey or inspection of the matter in dispute, the party or parties concerned should submit a written request to this effect as soon as possible, stating the relevant grounds.
The arbitration tribunal determines the procedures to be followed, respecting as far as possible the wishes of the parties, and fixes a date for an oral hearing. At the request of the parties the arbitration tribunal may decide that the case be decided solely on the basis of the relevant documents.
The arbitration tribunal may at any time during the proceedings attempt to settle the case.
1. The arbitration tribunal shall maintain a record of its proceedings, including the date and place of the meetings, the parties participating, and claims made. Arbitration awards and settlements shall be recorded in their entirety, or with reference to the Institute's archives. The arbitration tribunal shall determine the extent to which minutes of oral hearings should be included in the records.
2. The parties may request a copy of the records of the tribunal's proceedings.
When the arbitration tribunal considers that the facts of the case have been made sufficiently clear, or that the parties have had sufficient time and opportunity to enable them to protect their interests, the proceedings are closed.
Where a party fails to appear or to supply the arbitration tribunal with information on the facts of the case, the tribunal decides to make its award on the basis of the facts submitted and the other available information.
1. The award shall be pronounced as quickly as possible and, where possible, not later than four weeks following closure of the proceedings. The award shall contain a presentation of the facts of the case and a reasoned decision of the issues in dispute.
2. The award made by the arbitration tribunal shall provide for the payment of the arbitration costs. The arbitration tribunal may order one party to pay the costs of the case to another party.
1. Where the arbitrators cannot agree upon the decision, the decision shall be made by a majority of votes. In the event of a tie the Chairman shall provide the deciding vote.
2. An arbitrator who dissents as regards the grounds and/or the result is entitled to have his opinion included in the award.
3. If an arbitrator refuses to participate in the preparation and/or making of an award, the award may be prepared and made by the remaining members of the arbitration tribunal.
1. On conclusion of an arbitration case the arbitration tribunal shall send a statement of the arbitration costs to the Institute.
2. The remuneration to the members of the arbitration tribunal must be approved by the Institute which shall prepare a definitive statement of the aggregate arbitration costs, including the fee to the Institute, and arrange for payment with the parties.
3. The Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for the aggregate arbitration costs, regardless of the distribution of costs provided in the award and regardless of whether the amount exceeds the security furnished. A party which pays on behalf of another party has right of recourse against that party. The counsels of the parties are only liable for expenses if they have specifically assumed such liability.
The arbitration award shall be final and binding on both parties.
1. On conclusion of the arbitration case and payment of the costs involved, the Institute shall return original documents, drawings, etc. to the parties. All other material submitted during the case shall become the property of the Institute.
2. The Institute shall retain records of arbitration awards and settlements in its archives for at least 20 years.
Arbitrators' Remuneration and Administrative Fees
Rates for Danish cases
The basic rates are the legal fees applied by the Danish Bar Association and may be increased by up to one third to cover the arbitrators' remuneration and the administrative costs of the arbitration tribunals and the Institute. The fee may be increased or reduced as deemed appropriate according to the type and size of the case and the amount of work involved.
Rates for international cases
Size of claim
DKK 0-100.000
DKK 100.000-200.000
Base rate + 6% of amount exceeding DKK 100.000
DKK 200.000-5.000.000
Additional 3%
DKK 5.000.000 +
A suitable amount normally based on a reduced percentage
The above rates may be increased or reduced according to the type and size of the case and the amount of work involved. That portion of the rate which represents the arbitrators' remuneration is normally based on the gross amounts which are at issue in the dispute and which are set out in the claim documents of the parties involved. If no claim figure is specified by one or more parties, the costs will be estimated. Over and above the arbitrators' remuneration, the rate includes a charge to cover the administrative costs of the arbitration tribunal and of the Institute.
If the hearing is conducted by a sole arbitrator, the rate is reduced to between one third and one half of the above amounts in both Danish and international cases.

INTERVIEW: Damo Fawsett of Slam Cartel talks to The Classic Rock Show
Slam Cartel are Gary Moffat (vocals), Terence Warville (guitar), Damian J Fawsett (lead guitar), Marc Neudeck (bass guitar), Steve Campkin (drums). The band have been busy in the recording and rehearsal studios of late in readiness to accommodate a few of the new songs ahead of some up and coming shows. We took the opportunity between rehearsals to grab a few words with their lead guitarist, Damo Fawsett, and ask about the new music.
Damo: Yes, we've got a new single 'Storm Seasoned', we've just finished all the final recording on it now, just put the last bits down. It's got to be mixed and mastered and then it will be ready to go.
TCRS: How to the mixes sound so far?
Damo: Yeah, it sounds great, it's still pretty much the Slam Cartel you know. Still in the same vein, so the die-hard fans won't be disappointed. The people that have heard it, the rough, the lucky few that we've played it to have said 'Storm Seasoned' is a beautiful song.
TCRS: What's 'Storm Seasoned' about?
Damo: It's a love story. It's Terry's lyrics, so you know the guy is a poet anyway, so he writes great lyrics and he's probably the best one to explain the story of the song. Everyone has got their own interpretation of it and I don't want to do him an injustice by telling him my interpretation of it, but no it's got a great vintage feel to it as well, it's like, I'm not going to spoil it because I want people to be surprised, but it's kind of got an early Who, Floyd type vibe to it, you know it's a beautiful song with a kind of dark vibe.
TCRS: You're one of the new boys in Slam Cartel.
Damo: I'm the last one in, yeah so hopefully I won't be "last one in, first out" [laughs]. I've been in the band probably about 18 months now and I've loved every minute of it. I've had to prove my worth, you know they don't just take any old crap, I have to work hard to stay in the band. It's great we're all a good bunch of mates, we all get a long, we socialize as well, it's quite unusual in bands these day to get along and have a good time together and we still do and that's what it's all about is enjoying yourself, enjoying the music you're playing.
TCRS: Guitar-wise, what is your go-to guitar in the studio and does that find its way on stage?
Damo: For years and years I use to hate Fender Telecasters. I just thought they were just a country and western guitar. It wasn't until I saw a local guy that I know, a session guitarist Jeff Whitehorn, who has played for Paul Rogers and Elkie Brooks, I was chatting to him at a gig and he showed me this hollow bodied telecaster and I was really turned off by the idea of a hollow body Telecaster. You know the fact that they feedback and it was sounding like a Telecaster, he played it and it was amazing.
TCRS: A Telecaster Thinline?
Damo: Yeah. Jeff can make anything sound good, so I got a hold of one made by a company called 'Fret King', and played it and I use it for everything. I've got loads of other guitars, but the Fret King 'Country Squire Semitone'. For guitarists that want to know what the spec is it has two humbuckers on it, and you've got the ability to turn it into single coils like an old style Telecaster. I've used in the studio with Slam Cartel recently and I use it live on most of Slam Cartel's stuff as well. I'm endorsed by Fret King and Vintage. Vintage used to be a budget range and now they're producing real high-end guitars and they've got Les Paul style that I use as well and its better than most guitars I've ever played including the Gibson Les Paul.
TCRS: And you're running them through Marshall stacks?
Damo: I use to use Marshall years ago and then I went off and tried all sorts of different amps and a lot of these other amps sound great you know, Engl, Black Star, whatever, all these different things. I used a Cornford for years which sounded great as well, but there's only one that will work in Slam Cartel and that is a Marshall. You just need that grit and the sleaze and only a Marshall can do that.
TCRS: You've got some more gigs lined up as part of this tour.
Damo: Last year, we talked about two rounds of gigs, you know we did a lot in the first part of the tour earlier in the year and then later in the year, from the summer on through the winter, we do like a second bout of the tour. We just announced a hand full of dates for the second part of the tour, there's quite a few more coming in and hopefully we'll have a few nice big support slots as well like we did last year.
TCRS: So the singles, not quite in the can yet but very close to?
Damo: Yeah
Damo Fawsett of Slam Cartel
TCRS: Tour and dates gets lined up, what else can we expect from Slam Cartel this year? Are you likely to do some more recording or is that already in your back pocket so to speak?
Damo: Yeah, there's no doubt we'll go back in the studio, we're as good in the studio as well as we are out on stage… you know if the influence is there and the will is there to keep writing, then we'll keep doing it. We've got a good team we work with, we use George De Angelis (Producer) and Mandy Parnell masters our stuff as well, so you know we've got the right people to do the gold dusting as well.
TCRS: There may be a few people reading this who might not make the connection with the two names you've just mentioned and what they have probably heared on the radio.
Damo: Yeah the best way of explaining it all, the best advice I could give to our producer and the lady that a masters our recordings is just to Google them because I could go on for hours about this stuff but George De Angelis, great producer, I probably wouldn't like to work with anyone else as a producer now, you know the guy is an absolute genius.
TCRS: He used to be Trevor Horn's Engineer?
Damo: Trevor Horn, yeah that's right. He knows his stuff. We've Mandy Parnell, she's received a Grammy nomination. She gold dusts everything and she's won countless awards for what she does and you probably couldn't get better than her to be honest.
TCRS: Plenty of stuff coming up for Slam Cartel, then. Potentially an EP at some point?
Damo: Yeah we've got a few options, we can keep putting out singles if the demand is there. It's something that we need to all sit down and discuss really, the way forward, we might go away tail end of the year and start writing an album. That's the good thing about writing music and releasing music these days, if you've got the backing behind you and the financing, you can go and do it, but it's something we need to look at. We may put all the singles together on an EP and put out a five-track EP later in the year or we might just keep releasing a few more singles, but there's probably going to be a video as well. We've got some ridiculous ideas (Laughing). We haven't approached anyone yet about doing a video, but we have sat and discussed it and some ideas have been muted, so needless to say the video will be as epic as the new single, it may be ridiculously epic but it will be great. We did a little live studio session a few months back at a local studio. They did a little video for us, we recorded 'Hypnotize' live and they recorded us doing it and they sort of synced the track and video together and it worked quite well. I'm quite proud of it, but I think you can't really beat a good music video. Yeah, I mean basically just keep an eye on Slam Cartel on Twitter and Facebook, there's always stuff going on and we're always full of surprises as well, I mean a lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes, we're always talking to people and getting offers on things and we now this is something quite high profile I'm discussing at the moment, so it's really just keep an eye on us.
Forthcoming Slam Cartel gigs can be found here.

Alibaba, Baidu to Find Homes in MSCI Indexes
By Todd Shriberon January 16, 2015
MSCI (NYSE: MSCI), one of the largest providers of indexes for use by exchange traded funds, will allow some companies with primary stock market listings outside of their home domiciles into the firm's equity indexes, paving the way for Chinese Internet darlings Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) and Baidu (NasdaqGS: BIDU) to join some well-known ETFs.
Prior to Alibaba's September 2014 initial public offering, MSCI said the Chinese e-commerce giant would not be eligible to join MSCI indexes because of the company's decision to primarily list in New York while incorporating in the Cayman Islands.
"MSCI has analyzed the country classification of Alibaba Group Holding. Based on current information, the company will be incorporated in Cayman Islands, it will file 20-F only and it will list in the US only, through American Depositary Shares (ADS). Consequently, based on the above and as per the Appendix III of the MSCI GIMI Methodology Book, the company is not eligible for inclusion in the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes (GIMI)," said the index provider last July. [Alibaba to Miss Out on MSCI Indexes]
Several days prior to Alibaba's IPO, MSCI was considering rules changes for its indices that could allow for the inclusion of companies such as Alibaba and Baidu in its global benchmarks. [MSCI Could Add Alibaba]
"MSCI will enhance the coverage of the MSCI GIMI by considering companies traded outside of the country of classification (i.e.,"foreign listed companies") as eligible for inclusion in the MSCI GIMI. Foreign listed companies would be eligible for the MSCI Country Indexes where they would represent a material proportion of the index market capitalization," said MSCI in a statement.
Alibaba and Baidu can move into MSCI indexes as part of MSCI's November 2015 annual review, giving those companies avenues for joining major ETFs such as the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEArca: EEM), the second-largest emerging markets ETF by assets. EEM, home to $32.1 billion in assets under management, allocates 22.1% of its weight to Chinese companies, including a 2.2% weight to Tencent (OTC: TCEHY), a rival to Alibaba and Baidu.
MSCI's decision also opens the door for Alibaba and Baidu to join ETFs such as the $6.7 billion iShares MSCI ACWI ETF (NasdaqGM: ACWI) and the $1.3 billion iShares MSCI China ETF (NYSEArca: MCHI). Scores of other ETFs benchmarked to MSCI indexes could also include Alibaba and Baidu. At the end of last year, there was nearly $2.8 trillion in assets allocated to exchange traded products worldwide with 13.5% devoted to products using MSCI indexes, according to ETF research firm ETFGI.

Pay The Bills
Poor but Honest,
Make $2500/month retainer, plus $50/hr when you are working an event, and get insurance and benefits as a paid protester against Donald Trump.
Really. You have to be in one of the cities on the list (I am). Good work if you need work, but how long is the contract for? Who is the client? Oh, "confidential".

Abolish the CIA. JFK intended to, but...

Julian Assange will keep his word, to surrender his life for that of Chelsie Manning, whose sentence will end May 15, 2017, commuted by President Obama.
(Of course both birds may be snared, once both are in the US.)

Is the "Deep-State" divided into two warring factions, the neocons/neoliberals vs. the rational-militarists? Have the military forces become the anti-this-kinda'-war faction? Do they have Trump protected? "The roots of such speculations stretch back to Dallas, November 1963, when a "long gunman" with ties to the CIA and various CIA proxies assassinated President Kennedy, an avowed foe of the CIA."

Gen. Mercier is France's Air Force Chief of Staff as well as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, and says he believes NATO is far too focused on deploying troops abroad, and sending expeditionary forces into various countries, singling out Afghanistan in particular. ("Agrees with Trump", they say.)

Marine LePen, who probably won't get elected President of France (right?), arranges an EU-Wide Eurosceptic Conference (how disruptive). Thanks Eleni.

In this wide world, the country least trusted by her own citizens is... France.
"Countries that combine a lack of faith in the system with deep societal fears, such as France, Italy, South Africa, the U.S. and Mexico, are electing or moving towards populist candidates," reads the research.

Billionaire-panel at Davos discusses solutions to middle-class-poverty-crisis. (Sorry, I couldn't watch it. I'm sure it's fine.)

Why we need central banks, and why we need to get rid of cash, and use electronic money, and sometimes negative interest rates, and complicated things like that. (We don't?)

Brexit is a gamble, but nobody except Trump is saying that others may leave, too. What if there is no EU in 2 years? Since this is forbidden to consider, maybe it is important.
"No country has left the single market before. But given the obligations that come with it — especially open borders and budget contributions — it may well not be worth much."

EU representatives say that there can be no bilateral trade deal between the US and UK until Brexit negotiations are complete, which will take years. The UK must "play by the rules". (Stop squirming! I'll just spank you more. Come back right now!) "What we definitely don't want is a negotiation that will create an attractive standard for leaving the EU that other countries would want to imitate," said Caresche. "It's not just a British issue — it's also about not creating incentives for other countries to leave."

China has employed a new device to expand it's credit-bubble just-a-little-longer, the ultimate borrow-short-lend-long scheme. It can work as long as a fire hose of fresh money keeps flowing harder and harder.

Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency, fears a looming oil shortage after an unprecedented collapse in spending on exploration and development over the last two years. "Alarm bells will be ringing if there is no major new investment this year," he said. (Who is "winning", Saudi Arabia, US shale, or nobody?)

What's happening in the skies over Syria? Russian and Syrian military planes are flying around like they own the place, causing dangerous near misses with American planes, who own the whole world, as everybody knows. Thanks Eleni.

Thanks to American air support in late 2015 (that "mistake") and ongoing supply of war materials and salaries, ISIS is poised to capture the 100,000 citizens of Dier Ezzor, and their airport, a critical outpost for Syrian forces. The city is now cut off from the airport, and airlifted supplies. Matter of time, they say... (That'll teach 'em to snub America!)

Q: Is there a way to silence the error "isn't precompiled"? I have a rails app where I precompile my assets and send them to a remote AWS S3 bucket.
I would like to add my public/assets folder to my gitignore because it is starting to be pretty large and I don't want git saving all changed to the compiled files. But if I do rails complains that it is not finding the precompiled files and basically crashes the whole app.
Is there a way around this ?
Thanks !

A: Try to ignore public and set config.assets.enabled = false
