Q: Why does the animation not run smoothly in ipad mini? This is my animation code:
CGRect newRect = [self paraStyle:STYLE_DOWNUP currRect:myView.frame];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
    myView.frame = newRect;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    ......
}];

It is  common animation code for implementing UIView animation. This code runs very well on iPhone 4 and iPad 2. But on the iPad mini, it is not smooth. There was a little shakiness.
Does anyone have this problem?

A: It is my false. The reason is that:
1. The ipad mini is not very power in image process.
2. The background image of the animation view is translucent. So it cost very murch!

New Zealand children still suffer rickets from lack of Vitamin D
by University of Otago
Vitamin D deficiency continues to cause rickets in young New Zealanders, new University of Otago research has found. The researchers say that their finding suggests that at-risk mothers and children should be better targeted for Vitamin D supplementation.
Rickets is a serious bone growth disorder that can lead to skeletal deformity and seizures. It can also cause several other developmental problems. Currently no national statistics are kept on rates of Vitamin D deficiency rickets in New Zealand.
Researchers in Otago's New Zealand Paediatric Surveillance Unit have now completed the first-ever study to give a snapshot of the number of cases of such rickets occurring in children aged under 15 in this country.
Every month, over the period July 2010 to June 2013 inclusive, the researchers asked around 220 New Zealand paediatricians (92 per cent of the current workforce) if they had treated any cases of Vitamin D deficiency rickets in the previous month.
The researchers were notified of 73 cases by 38 paediatricians. Their responses to follow-up questionnaires allowed the team to exclude cases that did not meet its strict clinical definitions, or were duplicates. The researchers identified 58 children with the disease and analysed anonymised data relating to these patients.
Their findings are newly published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health.
Study co-author Dr Ben Wheeler says they identified the key risk factors for the disorder as having darker skin pigment, Indian and African ethnicity, being under three years old, exclusively breastfed, and living in the far South, particularly during winter and spring.
"While we found the highest population rates of Vitamin D deficiency rickets in children living in Otago and Southland, nearly a third of all cases were reported in Auckland and Northland."
"Of the 58 patients identified, we found none had previously received appropriate Vitamin D supplementation, which is concerning," Dr Wheeler says.
In their article, he and his co-authors conclude that "to reduce the incidence of the disease among those at risk, efforts should be focused on increasing awareness—and implementation—of existing policies for targeted maternal, infant, and child Vitamin D supplementation."
Dr Wheeler says that there has been mounting concern worldwide that the number of children suffering from Vitamin D deficiency and Vitamin D deficiency rickets is increasing.

SUPPORT FOR the 'Love Music-Hate Racism' carnival, to be held in Burnley on Sunday 1 September, is growing. Three Labour councillors have spoken out about the challenge facing the Lancashire town where three BNP Nazis were elected onto the council in the local election in May.
FAILED BNP Nazi candidate Mick Treacy is desperately trying to find a place to hold the BNP's Red, White and Blue 'festival' on 17 August. Attempts by the BNP to use the small village of Diggle for the Nazi event have been met with swift opposition by local people.
A petition opposing the BNP is gaining overwhelming support both in Diggle and the surrounding area. Diggle residents are also planning protests to stop the Nazi festival taking place.
MARTIN FIELDING, a longstanding Nazi thug, has been sacked from his job inside the Trinity Mirror newspaper building in Oldham. The workforce in the building is very racially mixed. Fielding is a notorious member of the Nazi terror group Combat 18.
He has been active in the 'Fine Young Casuals', Oldham's far right football hooligans. Combat 18 came out of the Hitler-loving BNP. Its name comes from the first (A) and eighth (H) letters in the alphabet-for Adolf Hitler. His sacking comes after he was exposed as a violent Nazi by the BBC2 programme Hooligans, broadcast in May this year.
Fielding was featured organising other football hooligans and fascists to fight and attack Asians. Fielding boasted at work of targeting the Asian community during the riots in Oldham last year. The TV programme showed him instigating the attacks near the predominantly Asian area of Glodwick.
These rampages by the far right led to widespread disturbances in Oldham. Fielding's sacking reflects the widespread opposition to the Nazis and their attempts to organise in the workplace.

Mars 'flying saucer' splashes down after NASA test
FILE – In this undated file photo provided by NASA, a saucer-shaped test vehicle known as a Low Density Supersonic Decelerator is shown in the Missile Assembly Building at the US Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility at Kekaha on the island of Kauai in Hawaii.AP/NASA
After several weather delays, NASA on Saturday launched a helium balloon carrying a saucer-shaped vehicle high in Earth's atmosphere to test technology that could be used to land on Mars.
The craft deployed a novel inflatable braking system on its way back to Earth, but its massive parachute failed to fully unfurl as it descended to a splashdown.
Control room cheers that greeted successful steps in the complex test rapidly died as the parachute appeared to emerge tangled.
"Please inform the recovery director we have bad chute," a mission official ordered.
Since the twin Viking spacecraft landed on the red planet in 1976, NASA has relied on the same parachute design to slow landers and rovers after piercing through the thin Martian atmosphere.
The $150 million experimental flight tests a novel vehicle and a giant parachute designed to deliver heavier spacecraft and eventually astronauts.
Viewers around the world with an Internet connection followed portions of the mission in real time thanks to cameras on board the vehicle that beamed back low-resolution footage.
After taking off at 11:40 a.m. from the Pacific Missile Range Facility on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, the balloon boosted the disc-shaped vehicle over the Pacific. Its rocket motor should then ignite, carrying the vehicle to 34 miles high at supersonic speeds.
The environment this high up is similar to the thin Martian atmosphere. As the vehicle prepared to drop back the Earth, a tube around it expanded like a Hawaiian puffer fish, creating atmospheric drag to dramatically slow it down from Mach 4, or four times the speed of sound.
Then the parachute if only partially — and the vehicle splashed down about three hours later. At 110 feet in diameter, the parachute is twice as big as the one that carried the 1-ton Curiosity rover through the Martian atmosphere in 2011.
Despite the parachute problem, "what we just saw was a really good test," said NASA engineer Dan Coatta with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
The test was postponed six previous times because of high winds. Winds need to be calm so that the balloon doesn't stray into no-fly zones.
Engineers planned to analyze the data and conduct several more flights next year before deciding whether to fly the vehicle and parachute on a future Mars mission.
"We want to test them here where it's cheaper before we send it to Mars to make sure that it's going to work there," project manager Mark Adler of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory said during a pre-launch news conference in Kauai in early June.
The technology envelope needs to be pushed or else humanity won't be able to fly beyond the International Space Station in low-Earth orbit, said Michael Gazarik, head of space technology at NASA headquarters.
Technology development "is the surest path to Mars," Gazarik said at the briefing.
The Los Angeles Times reported that teams working on the project will report at different times. These teams include specialists who will launch the balloon and communication teams. There are antennas near the base, the report said.
There is a lot that can go wrong, but that's precisely why the teams say these tests are imperative.
"We learn even more when we fail," Robert Manning, the chief engineer, told The Times. "If you're not dropping balls, you're not learning how to juggle."

Get a 5TB external HDD and two months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for under £100
Hardware Editor
29th November 2019 / 12:33PM
As much as your deals herald loves a good Black Friday SSD deal, those of you who are after buckets of storage for as little money as possible may want to check out these Black Friday deals on the recently-released WD Black GameDrive external HDDs, where the 5TB P10 GameDrive is currently going for just under £100 and comes with two free months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to boot.
I've currently got a P10 in for testing (review coming next week), and while it's nowhere near as nippy as, say, an external SSD like the Samsung T5, it sure does offer a lot more storage for a lot less money. Heck, the Samsung T5 isn't even available in a 5TB size capacity, and its top 2TB model will set you back more than double the cost of the 5TB P10 at £243.
Technically, the £99.99 deal I've highlighted above is for the special Xbox One version of the drive, but that's a piddly 2p/GB of data right there, which is frankly, ludicrously cheap. The normal P10 is also on a Black Friday deal for just a couple of extra quid at £102 right now, but doesn't come with the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate stuff, making it therefore a bad deal when they were effectively identical products save for the small Xbox logo on the former.
They're quite industrial looking things with their shipping container-like design and hard edges, but they do at least feel like they'd survive a trip in a backpack without instantly breaking. Plus, when their normal price is up nearer £135-140 (the Xbox one normally being the more expensive of the two), that's a pretty decent saving for such a new set of devices.
The 2TB P10 is also on sale right now as well, with the regular PC version going for £56, which works out at a slightly more expensive 2.8p/GB, but still pretty great overall. That would have previously set you back £90, making that quite a hefty saving – especially compared to that 2TB Samsung T5, too.
There isn't an Xbox 2TB P10 sadly – instead, you'll have to settle for 3TB, which is currently on sale for £73, down from £110, and works out at 2.4p/GB.
Alternatively, you could go for their absolutely massive D10 Game Drive external HDD, which comes with 12TB of storage in Xbox form. That will set you back £198, but works out even cheaper at 1.6p/GB. The 8TB PC version, on the other hand, is currently going for £133, which is an identical 1.6p/GB. Both offer pretty good savings off their usual prices, too – around £100 for the 12TB and £67 for the 8TB model.
On a completely different note- and because I simply can't resist a good Black Friday SSD deal to cap this all off with, the excellent value for money WD Blue SN500 internal NVMe SSD is also at an all-time low of just £34 for the 250GB version right now, which is back at the same price it was over Amazon Prime Day earlier in the year. The 500GB model, meanwhile, is an even tastier £57 right now, too.

"Being a photographer means you end up in the most weird and wonderful situations."
Photographer Stephanie Rose Wood loves telling stories through images. Whether she's documenting communities around her or shooting portraits for commercial clients, Steph makes it a priority to get to know her subject before she whips out her camera. She tells us about her practice, how she got started, and why she's always up for a chat.
Hi Steph! Tell us a bit about yourself, please. I'm a photographer based in Melbourne, and split my time between long-form documentary projects and editorial for publications. I also teach photography. My creative practice is research-driven and explores themes of community, ritual and the psychology of belief.
What's your workspace like on a regular day? My home workspace is pretty fluid at the moment as I haven't been working from a studio this year. I have a desk that gets put up on the days my toddler is at childcare, and then packed away. It works quite well, as it means I can switch work mode on and off when I'm at home. On the days that my workspace is up and running, it's usually piled with books, prints or negatives.
How did you start your photography journey? I've always been artistically inclined. My parents ran a printing business, and there were always creative types turning up at the door with big, fancy drawings. I used to be there a lot as a kid, and would just hang out, spin around on office chairs and draw on mountains of paper.
I'm originally from the UK, so studied photography in Cornwall, then eventually moved to London, where I did a masters in documentary photography and photojournalism. That was a big turning point for me. I'd been working as a photographer and artist in some form or another, but this was when I pushed myself and really found my direction. What drew you to photojournalism in particular? I've always found other people's lives and stories compelling. Photojournalism is a way to create a dialogue and tell a story. I wouldn't call myself a photojournalist, but I draw on those skills to tell stories in a more contemporary way.
It took studying photojournalism and documentary photography to realise that I wasn't always comfortable making work in a purely journalistic way. For me, working objectively isn't possible, so I work mainly in portraiture. There are three people in a photographic portrait: the sitter, the viewer and the creator. I think the most interesting documentary work takes this relationship on board and speaks to it. What's your approach to photojournalism, and does it differ much from how you approach other work? My approach is usually the same. Whether it's a portrait shoot where I've only got an hour or a long-term project, I'll always do my research, put together a plan, and then spend more time chatting than taking photos. No matter how little time I've got, I think it's always important to communicate with the person I'm photographing. Building trust and a relationship is integral to the whole process. I take photos because I love talking to people and learning about their lives, and sometimes the photo is just a by-product of that interaction.
A shot from 'And in love, light and truth'
Tell us a bit about your ongoing series 'And in love, light and truth'. The project came from weeks of frantic research and random threads. I realised I'd started collecting these amazing leaflets advertising psychics and spiritual healers almost without thinking, and this led me to Spiritualism (Spiritualists believe in the continuation and survival of the soul after the death of the physical body). I started attending psychic circles (or séances) and talking to people. It wasn't until a little while later that I decided to pursue it as a project.
To be honest, I freaked myself out a little, but before I knew it, I was spending almost every day at one of three Spiritualist churches in London for about four months. I took photos, recorded audio, drank a lot of tea and ate a lot of biscuits. I talked to people about their journey to Spiritualism, life after death and the spirit world. The work ended up as a three-screen immersive installation that replicated a psychic circle. How do you balance jobs that pay the rent with personal projects? It's a constantly shifting beast! I often feel guilty when my personal projects get pushed down the priority list, but I'm also a realist. I know that I work slowly; that I mull over ideas for a long time before there's a sudden whirlwind of inspiration, motivation and activity. I try not to put myself under too much pressure to do absolutely everything all the time. For example, a few projects have been put on hold this year, but I've started a new teaching position, which I'm really enjoying. So I think I'll always be pursuing that ever-mysterious balance.
Another shot from 'And in love, light and truth'
How did you find working on the MSI laptop? Working on the laptop was great. The screen was amazing for editing photos, and it was super-fast. I've recently started editing a lot of video, so having a speedy computer is pretty important. The laptop handled everything I threw at it really well and it would be great to take on a shoot as it doesn't weigh much at all.
What do you love about what you do? I love that being a photographer means you end up in the most weird and wonderful situations. I'm not one to just walk up to a stranger and start a chat, but if I've got a camera in my hand, it gives me an excuse.
See more from Steph over here.

in what chronological order should you watch the films?
December 11, 2021 by Manoj
DC Comics created the "DC Cinematic Universe" in response to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the "DCEU" (for DC Extended Universe, the other name of the DC cinematic universe), we find a dozen films already released whose main characters are members of the Justice League: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, or Aquaman. But beware, the films released over the past 10 years with characters from DC Comics are not necessarily part of this universe. We take stock of this issue.
If you are more Superman and Batman than Spider-Man and Captain America, that means you are more DC Comics that Marvel Comics. The anthology of characters is as grandiose on one side as on the other. At Marvel, there's Iron Man, Captain Marvel, the X-Men, Hulk, Thor, Fantastic Four, and more. And at DC, you find Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, etc. And each universe has its own "leg".

These two publishers have been competing on the stalls of newsstands, bookstores and comic book stores since the late 1930s in the United States. But they also compete on television and… in the cinema. Even if the films of Marvel heroes today monopolize the box office (in particular The Avengers Endgame which broke many records), these are the films of Superman and 1978 et Batman in 1989 that the spectators remembered more.
Hoping to regain some good momentum in cinema and capitalize on the craze for superhero movies (thanks to Marvel's efforts), DC made the decision to create your own universe for cinema. With the same consistency. With the same care given to the visual. But not necessarily with the same scripting strategy. The project is formalized by Warner Bros., the parent company of DC Comics, in 2008. The decision is made thanks to the commercial success of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. And the first film to be part of this universe is Man of Steel, the Superman reboot released in 2013.
As with the comics, the universe of DC in film and television is not unique, but multiple. Some films, even the most recent, are not included. This is the case of Joker, released in 2017, and The Batman, which will be released in 2022. We have not retained them for this file. The same goes for the series of the "Arrowverse": Arrow, Flash, Constantine, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, Batwoman and Superman & Lois (the 2021 reboot). Here we offer you two ways to see the DC Cinematic Universe movies. It's up to you to choose the one that suits you best.
Order of films by release date
The cinematographic universe is made up today of 10 films released in theaters, including the original version of Justice League by Zack Snyder. Here we offer you a fairly classic viewing order: that of the release of the films. So that doesn't take into account movies that take place earlier in time (both Wonder Women). We also leave Zack Snyder's original version of Justice League here as it is released. We also include the four films confirmed which will be released between 2022 and 2023 and the Peacemaker series scheduled for next year on HBO Max.
Batman vs Superman : Dawn of Justice (2016)
Aquaman (2018)
Birds of Prey (2020)
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Peacemaker (series) (2022)
Black Adam (coming soon)
The Flash (coming soon)
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (prochainement)
Shazam Fury of the Gods (prochainement)
Order of movies according to the DC Universe timeline
For this second order, we have taken care to respect the chronological order of the film scripts. Indeed, some films take place before other feature films previously released in the cinema. This is particularly the case of Wonder Woman. This new order is therefore intended to be more respectful of the chronology of the universe. And this even if consistency is not always there. We have not included the films currently in production, because the script of these films could change that order. In contrast, you will find the Peacemaker series there which claims to be a spin-off from the Suicide Squad films.
Note that since 2017 and the release of Wonder Woman, Warner Bros. and DC Comics prefer that DC Cinematic Universe films are more independent of each other. And this even if the next film The Flash, nicknamed Flashpoint in reference to the eponymous comic book during which Flash reorganized the DC multiverse, will include at least two versions of Batman. This dossier will continue to be updated as the next films hit theaters or arrive on streaming services. And if that isn't enough for you, you can always take a look at the competition and our Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies Folder.

Diva and the Frat Boy (MM)
by Daisy Harris
Men of Holsum College 2
12 Ratings (4.3)
Contemporary Interracial Alternative (M/M, Gay)
[Siren Classic ManLove: Erotic Alternative Interracial Romance, M/M, public exhibition, HEA]
Nathaniel Reece is savvy and fierce and wouldn't give boring-ass Greg Sanders the time of day, except Greg is the president of a fraternity Nathaniel wants to join. But once Nathaniel gets a taste of the ferocity under Greg's cool exterior, he can't stop himself from trying to lure the uptight frat brother out of his shell.
The face of gay life on campus and a crusader heading off to law school, Greg doesn't see any problem with seducing the flamboyant and exciting Nathaniel. But that's before he finds out his fraternity brothers are refusing Nathaniel's pledge bid. Greg's athletic and masculine and has never had to deal with the censure of his friends or the odd looks of strangers, but if he's going to be what Nathaniel needs, he'll have to be comfortable not just being out, but also standing out.
Cover Art by Jinger Heaston
A sweet and heart warming read. A great story of when opposites attract.
AJ Jarrett
Another winner in the Holsum College series. I loved Nathaniel in book one and was pleased he was one of the subjects of book two. This story is another emotional one, with one character who knows who he is and doesn't apologize for it, and another who's just figuring out his place in the gay world.
Cassandra Carr
Professional Reviews
4.5 KISSES: "This is the second book I've read by Daisy Harris and I have to admit I'm becoming addicted to reading this author's stories. Ms. Harris writes fast-paced books with interesting characters that live and breathe off of the written page. Once I started reading Diva and the Frat Boy, I was immediately swept up into the storyline and these characters lives. As the president of Eta Omega Xi, Greg Sanders likes to believe that the fraternity he's part of is tolerant of all people. To be a member of Eta Omega Xi, the members live proudly out as homosexual males on campus and they fight for gay rights and equality at the school and in their own personal lives. As a senior, Greg is about to graduate and so he's ready to turn over his responsibility and get on with his life. For the past few months, Greg has been quite fascinated by Nathaniel Reece, who is a hopeful pledge in his fraternity. Because of Greg's position in the fraternity, he's kept his interest in Nathaniel on the down low, but he plans on asking the sexy and intriguing man out as soon as his fraternal duties are over. Nathaniel Reece is a creative, fun and sexy man who isn't afraid to flaunt his flamboyant personality. He's out and proud and doesn't care who knows it. For months, he's been very attracted to the very popular and highly respected president of Eta Omega Xi, but he really doesn't plan to do anything about it. Although, Nathaniel doesn't apologize for who he is, he knows that there are some gay men who don't appreciate his bold sense of style and sassy disposition. So, he's a more than a little surprised when Greg starts openly flirting and making it very known he's interested in him for more than just sex. Just as the two men start recognizing the pull of attraction that's between them, both Greg and Nathaniel find out there are many people who do not like Nathaniel's flamboyant nature, and do not believe they should be together. Are the feelings Greg and Nathaniel feel for each other strong enough to work through all of the prejudices and their own misgivings to find a life together? I really liked this book a lot. Both Greg and Nathaniel are very unique and interesting characters. Greg pretty much does what's expected of him and Nathaniel's creativity and sassiness made them a very easy couple to root for. Even though they look to be total opposites, as the story progresses they find they do have several things in common and they really end up being a very strong couple together. I really appreciated how Ms. Harris did not shy away from the narrow views people have. Even in the gay community, not all men are looked at as equals, and this story does not sugar coat these issues at all. Although I loved Nathaniel, he's not appreciated for the man he is, therefore, he's looked down on from the very member of the fraternity he's trying to pledge with. Although I really liked the first book in this series, I enjoyed this one even better. I do believe that Diva and the Frat Boy could be read as a stand-alone book, but I still recommend reading the books in series order. I know I'm looking forward to reading more books in the Men of Holsum College series, and I'm highly anticipating seeing where Ms. Harris will take us with her next book! If you're looking for a sexy, well-written romance with intriguing characters with an interesting storyline, this series is definitely a series for you!" -- Gabbi, Top 2 Bottom Reviews
4 STARS: "DIVA AND THE FRAT BOY picks up right after COLLEGE BOYS with Greg still mooning after Nathaniel and Nat with no idea. Unlike book one both men are gay and they know it although, they are two completely different gay men. Greg is a preppy guy who has no problem blending in because when people look at him they think he's straight. Nat on the other hand has always been a bit on the flamboyant "flaming" side of the gay spectrum. Poor Nat and Greg. Greg can either accept Nat how he is or move on and Nat has to have faith that Greg will accept him and is not just using him for a quick, easy lay. I loved Nat in book one and even more so in book two, he's so content with his self, I just love his f*ck you if you don't like me attitude. The sex is hot and the relationship progression is natural, but I would to have liked to have gotten more into Nat's head, it's pretty obvious from the beginning that Nat makes Greg uncomfortable but Greg is already in love. I want to know when did Nat fall for Greg, when did he know Greg was 'the one'. I'm always such a fan of Fem boys or pretty boys. That's what 1st attracted me to this series was a blog I read where Ms. Harris was discussing how fem boys get more grief because they can't "act straight". This book is about more than Nat and Greg's budding relationship, it's also about the prejudices inside the gay community, the men who can blend in better with straight guys are more accepted. Such a great series, I will defiantly continue reading." -- Charnel Chante, Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

Greg jogged over to mitigate the damage. "Hey!" He cleared his throat. Coming to a stop in front of Nathaniel and the guy with a notepad, Greg held out his hand. "Hello, I'm Greg Sanders. I take it you're from Queer Vermont?"
"Jordan Smith." The reporter nodded, looking around the frat. He appeared to be in his midtwenties, only a few years older than Greg. But unlike all the partygoers who wore togas, he was dressed in khaki trousers and a short-sleeved shirt. "Looks like things are getting lively here. Do you mind if I set my guy out to take some pictures?" He gestured to the cameraman—a man who looked to be in his forties with a beer belly and a disgruntled expression.
Greg guessed he was a little old to be out so late. Or maybe he just didn't like college kids.
"Nathaniel, Greg, this is Bill." Jordan introduced everyone. "He'll be taking the pictures. We've decided to go with candids for the article. Thought that would make it more dynamic."
"Oh." Greg frowned. He'd assumed he was going to be photographed. It embarrassed him to think it, but he'd sort of been looking forward to the exposure. "That's fine." He watched as the unhappy-looking Bill walked off through the throng of people. Greg wasn't sure how anyone was going to have fun with that guy crouched at their feet taking pictures. Then again, it wouldn't be long before everyone was drunk. Hell, as soon as Greg could finish this interview, he would join them.
"So, Greg—what effect do you think Eta Xi has on queer life on campus?" Jordan tilted his head and pulled a pen out of his messenger bag. He seemed less interested than business minded. Like he wanted to get some good sound bites and then get the hell back home to his life.
Greg had no idea what to say. At that moment he wanted to answer that Eta Xi drove people apart, picking and choosing whom they did and didn't want, creating an underclass among an already disenfranchised group. But the lawyer in him told him to zip his mouth shut.
Nathaniel piped up. "Oh, Eta Xi is great! They throw the best parties on campus. Hell, straight boys wish they could draw in the crowd Eta Xi pulls."
"Um…" Greg tried to stem the tide of Nathaniel's mouth vomit. He tried to remember the talking points he'd written down for this interview. "Yes, our parties are well attended. But we also do a lot of volunteer work in the community—"
Jordan cut him off. "So, Nathaniel, how would you say the campus sees Eta Xi? Are the 'straight boys' cool with your presence? Do they come to your parties? Do you go to theirs?"
Greg blinked. He wasn't sure why Jordan was interviewing Nathaniel instead of him, but he didn't know how to answer the question. So he just pretended to listen calmly as Nathaniel started gesticulating wildly about how a lot of straight boys weren't as straight as they seemed and how plenty of them liked to go "on safari" at Eta Xi parties. Greg wondered if it was possible to self-destruct from embarrassment.
"You don't actively encourage this, do you?" Jordan pumped his eyebrows at Nathaniel as if he was titillated by the idea.
But Greg had a horrid, sinking feeling that Jordan was trying to lure Nathaniel into saying something that would bring shame down on the frat. "No! We are friendly with the campus community, but nothing more." He stepped partially in front of Nathaniel, like he could stop Nat from talking. "I'm sure everyone feels completely, um…safe and respected at our parties."
Jordan's eyes glazed over. "Yes. Yeah, I'm sure you're a welcoming community where everyone can join together…"
Greg nodded vehemently and launched into the phrases he'd memorized for the interview. "Brotherhood" and "compassion" and "equality and egalitarianism" blurted from his mouth while in the background Nathaniel tried to interject "jocks!" and "hot sex!"
Honestly, by the time Jordan held up a hand to get the two of them to stop talking, Greg had no idea what he'd said. He only knew that he wished Nathaniel would have taken the hint and shut the hell up.
Unfortunately, when Bill trundled back to Jordan, the reporter asked one more question. "So, how did you guys end up together? Nathaniel, you're a pledge here, right?"
Greg died inside. He literally shut down. Nathaniel said some things about…something. But Greg couldn't listen. Because by the time the article hit the stands, Nathaniel would know he wasn't getting into Eta Xi. And most likely, he and Greg wouldn't be a couple. And that just sucked, because Greg wanted them to be a couple—frat or no. But he didn't know if Nathaniel would be able to stand the sight of him once he found out the truth.
"You cool with this?" Greg palmed Nathaniel's ass, nosing his way between the cheeks.
"Yeah." Nathaniel's reply came out high pitched and breathless. He'd only been rimmed a few times, and the feel of Greg's lips was making him crazy. He reached for his dick and gave it a quick tug, but Greg stood up from where he was crouched. He grabbed Nathaniel's hand and placed it against the bricks.
Greg dragged Nathaniel's hips back, almost making him trip over the pants still wrapped around his ankles. "Keep your hands on the wall."
Nodding, Nathaniel hung his head between his arms. He closed his eyes, feeling the creep of Greg's hands up the back of his thighs, the huffs of Greg's warm breath on the curve of his ass, and then the delicious vulnerability of Greg spreading his cheeks apart and swiping his tongue over Nathaniel's pucker.
Nathaniel's legs shook, and he swerved his hips to get closer. He wanted to switch things around, get Greg's back to the wall and those ridiculously tight jeans open. Nathaniel wanted to suck him until he shot all that newfound sexiness down Nathaniel's throat.
But apparently, that wasn't going to happen, because Greg had already stood and was rifling around in his pockets. Nathaniel couldn't bring himself to look over his shoulder to see what was going on. The delicious sense of rightness and abandon was fading a little now that it seemed like they were actually going to do this thing. Nathaniel had only bottomed flat on his back or lying on his stomach. But he didn't want to pussy out—especially now that Greg was acting like everything Nathaniel had ever thought he'd wanted. Especially since Nathaniel would have loudly proclaimed that Greg would never have the balls to do something like this and Nathaniel would.
Still, he flinched when Greg's lubed finger found his hole.
"You done this before?" Greg asked, his fingers slicking around, pressing but not penetrating.
Nathaniel thought about giving an offhand "yeah" but didn't want to lie. He could talk as big a game as he wanted in the dorms, but Nathaniel didn't see the point in being coy. "Not against a wall." He tried to give Greg a little chuckle, but Greg chose that second to slide his finger into Nathaniel's ass, causing Nathaniel's knees to buckle.
"So you'll tell me if it's too much, okay?" Greg pressed a kiss to the back of Nathaniel's neck, and it was almost overwhelming. Not the probing at his ass. That part was intense but not painful. But something about that kiss, soft and sure and so intimate, made Nathaniel feel all the more naked. Suddenly, he didn't know if he could go through with this, at least not with Greg.
"Listen—" Nathaniel's attempt to slow things down was swallowed by his moan. Greg pumped a second finger into him, using the leverage to lift him almost onto his toes. The whole world narrowed to Greg's insistent stretching and his soft lips on Nathaniel's neck. It was as if the length of his spine was strung tight with an electric charge, and his dick waved in front of him, about to burst just from the pressure. "Oh God…" He didn't want to come just from fingers in his ass, and to be honest, Nathaniel had never thought he could, but that was the direction things were taking. "Shit, if we're gonna do this thing, you better hit it now."
Greg nodded against his neck. He pulled back, and Nathaniel heard the rip of a foil wrapper and then felt the press as Greg's cock fit to his rim. His heart pounded high in his chest—he was turned on and confused and just a little worried, but before he could second-guess what they were about to do, he arched back, pressing himself down onto the head of Greg's dick.
"Shhh…" Greg hissed as he molded Nathaniel's hips. He pumped forward in quick thrusts.
It was shallow, but Nathaniel shivered with the sting of the initial stretch. He panted, trying to get used to the sensation, to get his feelings back to the good place and away from the sense that he was too small and that he would be way too easy for Greg to hurt.
"You okay?" Greg held still, big hands wrapped around Nathaniel's waist.
No way was Nathaniel going to admit that maybe he wasn't. Instead, he reached down for his cock, wanting to stroke himself back to feeling horny and completely in control.
"Want me to?" Greg reached around to cover Nathaniel's hand with his own. His fingers were wet with lube, and his touch was firm and strong. Stroking Nathaniel like he was, his stomach pressed flat on Nathaniel's back like a warm, solid shield.
"Yeah." Nathaniel pressed his hands into the wall again and let Greg do the work. He smelled grass and Greg's aftershave, felt his legs getting stronger and his body shifting to accommodate Greg's cock. He pushed himself backward, impaling himself as far as he dared, then added a twist of his hips before doing it again.
"Hell, yeah." Greg rubbed Nathaniel harder and picked up his pace. His thrusts were short—all he could manage with his arm still wrapped to Nathaniel's erection—but they were slow and intense, like a writhing vibration that Nathaniel could feel all the way from his shoulders down to the back of his knees.
"Oh, honey." Nathaniel squirmed, and pumped forward into Greg's hand and then back onto Greg's cock. He felt completely serviced and fucked and taken care of, and soon his legs were shaking for a whole different reason. His balls pulled up tight, and his dick felt ready to explode. "I don't know if I can come standing up."

Prosecutors add 6th homicide count in Wisconsin parade crash
Published November 29, 2021 at 6:48 PM CST
Mark Hoffman-Pool
Waukesha County district attorney Susan Opper leaves court after Darrell Brooks (not pictured) appears at Waukesha County Court on Nov. 23, 2021 in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Prosecutors added a sixth intentional homicide count Monday against a Wisconsin man accused of driving his SUV through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Investigators allege Darrell Brooks Jr., 39, turned into the parade route in Waukesha on Nov. 21 and swerved the vehicle side-to-side without slowing down as he struck dozens of people. Authorities announced later that night that five people had died.
Police arrested Brooks shortly afterward as he knocked on a homeowner's door asking for help calling a ride.
Waukesha County District Attorney Susan Opper filed five counts of first-degree intentional homicide against Brooks on Nov. 23, for victims ranging in age from 52 to 81.
The sixth charge is for Jackson Sparks, an 8-year-old boy who had been walking in the parade with his 12-year-old brother Tucker, who also was hurt in the crash.
Willy Medina, a spokesman for the state public defender's office, which is representing Brooks, declined to comment on the added count.
Brooks' alleged motive remains unknown. Investigators have said he was fleeing the scene of a domestic dispute when he turned into the parade but police were not pursuing him. He was free on $1,000 bail in a Milwaukee County case earlier in November in which he is accused of intentionally striking a woman with his car.

Why Keep Public Schools Around?
Navigation:Home/Blogroll, Homeschool vs Public School, Homeschoolers, Homeschooling News/Why Keep Public Schools Around?
By Mimi Rothschild
In a recent series of articles, Jonah Goldberg of The National Review Online and David Gelernter of The Weekly Standard both propose that America might be better off without public schools and discuss how we might decide whether to have them or not. Both writers cite public school's well documented shortcomings.
"Americans want universal education, just as they want universally safe food. But nobody believes that the government should run 90 percent of the restaurants, farms, and supermarkets. Why should it run 90 percent of the schools — particularly when it gets terrible results?" says Goldberg.
Why not liberate all the vast resources we spend on public schools to be re-channeled to private schools chosen by the nation's parents? Any public school offering an education that parents will actually pay for (of their own free will) would presumably be replaced by a private school offering essentially the same thing. But a vast array of new private schools would germinate also. And a vast number of failed public schools would disappear.
"In the system I am picturing, education would continue to be free and accessible to every child, and all taxpayers would continue to pay for it. Parents would be guaranteed access to 'reasonable' schools that cost them nothing beyond what they pay in taxes. It would all be just like today–except that public schools would have vanished" says David Gelertner.
"Many sources agree that, on the whole, American public schools are rotten. In 2000, a whopping 12 percent of graduating seniors were rated 'proficient' in science, and international surveys rank our graduating seniors 19th overall out of 21 nations. In 2002, the Washington Post summarized a different survey: 'Nearly six in 10 of the nation's high school seniors lack even a basic knowledge of U.S. history,'" says Gelerneter.
The article raises the question if private entities would be capable of providing enough new schools to replace existing public ones? Can America's private organizations build enough hospitals to care for it's sick, enough nursery schools to teach its very young and enough grocery stores to feed it's population. Of course! Will these privately run schools be good enough? They would have to be or no one would attend them and they would go out of business. Competition among the newly formed schools would force them to give the public the best product at the lowest price, just like every other business in this country.
Home schooling has received some positive press lately and it may be due to the fact that the media has begun to expose the inadequacies of the public school system. It is frightening to think that entire generations of Americans aren't being properly educated.
Home schooling offers world-class educations to millions of American students, but unfortunately homeschoolers are still in the minority right now.

Jun 3 Television-Phone Unveiled (1955)
The August 25, 1955 Nevada State Journal (Reno, Nevada) ran a story titled, "Television-Phone Unveiled But Caution Warned on Use." Oddly enough, they never explain the "caution" part of the headline. Below is an excerpt from the story.
The television-telephone was unveiled to the world here today.
This is the one you don't answer while in the bathtub.
Called the "videophone" or 'TV-telephone," the device gives you a 10-inch screen view of the person you're calling the instant the other party picks up his receiver.
You see her - and she sees you - until someone hangs up.
While a curious group of reporters in the Fairmont Hotel watched, Noel E. Porter, an electronics executive, dialed a conventional telephone equipped with a pair of television screens. A small camera focused on him.
A mile away in the Civic Auditorium San Francisco's Mayor Elmer Robinson picked up the receiver of an identical unit. His image flashed onto the 10-inch screen in the Fairmont and Porter's appeared on Robinson's screen.
"This is an instance where seeing is believing," Robinson punned.
The videophone, jointly developed by Kay Lab of San Diego, Calif., and Bell Telephone laboratories, is expected to get its first practical application in industry.
But its optimistic producers anticipate it will be as much a part of the American home scene as the telephone and the TV set someday.

Saturn is often called the karmic planet, the taskmaster and the cosmic corrector. When Saturn travels through the houses of the zodiac in our charts, it touches on specific areas of our lives. It puts us through trials and tests our resilience. Saturn is a symbol of life's lesson, making sure we stay on track and giving us a chance to get things right in our lives.
A Saturn Return marks major cornerstones in our lives. As it makes its way around the zodiac, it takes approximately 29 ½ years to reach the sign it occupied on the day we were born, and when it reaches that sign, you have come into the age of your cosmic Saturn Return. It is a time when you start to review where your life is going, when you start to question things that you've come to rely on as truth in your life and to see if the same rules still apply. Not quite sure you can handle much more of your Saturn Return? Get some astrological help and insight from Psychic TeriLynn ext. 9625.
Our first Saturn Return happens in our very late 20s to early 30s. At this age, we start to think about the progress we've made up until this time. We start to realize that we are not immortal as we may have thought when we were younger. And as our lives come into this age and we start wanting different things, we know that we are responsible for making those changes come about. What have we learned and experienced up until now? What part of that past do we carry into our future and what parts no longer serve us? As adults now, it's time to make changes that bring purpose and meaning into our lives. It can be a time of great angst and great growth. Are you experiencing your first Saturn Return? Get some astrological help with Psychic Shauna ext. 9010.
Our second Saturn Return happens around the time when we turn 60. This is not always as traumatic as the first Saturn return; it is more like a mile marker. We start to work less and spend more time doing the things that please us and spending more time with the people who mean most to us. It is a time when most people take life a little slower and breathe easier because we have more time to do what we like as opposed to what is expected of us by others.
If we are fortunate enough to live into our late 80s/early 90s, and more of us are every day, we will most likely spend this time sitting back more, having more time than ever to review our lives and marvel at all the changes we have lived through. We have a philosophical history lesson at our disposal. Our legacy is evident in the families we have raised, the work we have done and the current state of our health and well-being—hoping we have left an imprint on the world that has meaning to us and others.
When Saturn returns to our lives, it often creates an opportunity to reevaluate where we are in life and the progress we've made. That's where karma comes into play and why it's considered the karmic planet. It's the perfect time to make changes and adjust where we're going in life and who we are. Take heed of life's lessons and readjust if you need to.
You all have enlightened me through sharing your commentsn. Thanks and stay strong and live in hope.
You might want to consider Dolores Cannon hypnotherapy – it takes you to a point on your timeline, past, present, or future, that you review, and that helps you to understand how that point in time is affecting your present life and present situation. It also connects you with your subconscious, and you can find answers there, too. She has people listed on her site who are trained in her method, so you could probably find someone near you.
To Rosie: I lost my job last December after working there for 8 years. I was devastated but made sure to apply for jobs every day for at least 9 or 10 hours. I was started working on Feb 1st at a better job than I came from. I decided last November that 2013 was going to be my year and I am convinced it is. Don't give up. Keep on a schedule every day and keep up on your health and nutrition.
Thank you all for showing me the reasons for these effectsin my life.
For Rosie: I lost my job very suddenly (deep down I knew it was coming) in 2010 and the day I lost the job I called my guy and laughed and told him lets celebrate tonight. He questioned what I was doing on my way home at 230pm my response was I just got terminated and he immediately asked if I was ok. I said "I couldn't be any better". I knew at that time after going thru a nasty divorce and other family issues for several years that this was my time and for me to take advantege of it. I was turning 59 in one week and I knew if I didn't grab hold of life now and do what I wanted to I never would be able to. So I started my own cleaning busniess as I love to clean and work on my own and was so tired of the corporate BS..I am doing good in my life and enjoy the freedom of the hours and being able to spend time with family and watching my grandaughters softball in the summer. Being able to take off for a vacation in one week (last vacation was more than 15 years ago) so I am more than ready. Take something you like/love to do as hobby and turn it into a 2nd career that will make you money in this stage in your life. I also supplement income with several part time jobs in the holiday season if needed. Life is good and be good to yourself as no one else will!!!
In the process I have lost both of my parents suddenly and gained some knowledge and made some new wonderful friends and my clients are super people..Good Luck in your life and prayers help to.
Saturn is exhalted in Libra :Aquarious and Gemini..and when it goes Retro in its exhalted signs the results are wonderful .
If in Natal chart its exhalted then much better outcome is obvious.
Though Saturn looks after Graveyard..Destructions..Barren forrests..its got nothing to do with human life but creating an atmosphere of strife…and struggle.
When does Saturn return on June 10th again?
Saturn is ultra important in the life cycle – Thanks Quinn, Thanks Gina Rose – and anyone who wants to know more about their Saturn cycle or anything astrological, I suggest calling them – they're the experts. And to all my readers, thanksas always.
Yes, Saturn has taught me much. May I say, quinn, thank you for your interpretation. So beautiful. Yes, I went through hell at times but I learned alot! Thank Goodness. I still have some scars but they seem like little regrets now. Embrace the journey!! It will bring you to a better place! Love and Good Luck to all!
Saturn is a very important planet in your chart which usually shows the area where you need to be vigilent, areas you need to work on.
Saturn is The Teacher or TaskMaster in a chart.
REVIEWING THE KARMA CYCLE……IT'S NO WONDER I'M GOING THROUGH MENTAL, EMOTIONAL HELL RIGHT NOW……THE EPIPHANIES I'VE REALIZED OVER THIS PAST YEAR HAVE BEEN HELL ON EARTH TO DEAL WITH………APPARENTLY, I'M EITHER A LATE BLOOMER; OR SATURN HAD IT OUT FOR ME WHEN I WAS IN MY 30'S………MANY, MANY WRONG DECISIONS AND MISTAKES FROM THEN UNTIL NOW…….SHOULDA, COULDA, WOULDA IS MY PRESENT MANTRA…….IF I ONLY KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW I'D BE ON A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PLAIN/LIFE PATH……..KARMA/DESTINY CAN BE A HURTIN' THING TO DEAL WITH.
THE POSITIVE SPIN: THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE.
also a great way to track our karmaic experiences from past to prestent to future.
I really don't know where to start but it involves past lives. I am part native american so I've been told. I truly believe I am because I've always had a very strong sense pulling me towards the native american people. Even as a young child I felt a strong connection with them as though I was once an important figure in a tribe. Still at age 47 I have a strong sense of belonging and something inside me constantly nagging at me that something has been left undone and something set right. Can ANYONE help me figure this issue out thats plagued me my entire life?


premise or upgrade of an existing one. That is beneficial for the business, preventing undesirable delays and costs. In addition, a VMP facilitates the understanding of a company's validation philosophy and policy and ensures consistent and effective validation.
Is a VMP a required by US and International FDA's?
When to develop a VMP?
What should be the contents of a VMP?
Who should write and review a VMP?
What documentation should be used in conjunction with VMP?
What are the support programs relevant for a VMP?
Should Risk Assessment be included in the VMP?
How to make sure that the plan is properly executed in time?
Answers will be presented by Gabriela Bodea in a new interactive audio seminar. During the seminar, the speaker will present strategies and give practical recommendations. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like an Example Master Plan SOPs, templates and examples will help immediate and cost effective implementation.
Presentation from FDA's John Dietrick, a compliance officer in the Center's Division of Manufacturing on FDA's concepts for Process Validation. "Without a Validation Master Plan, there may be no direction and little likelihood of success" Mr. Dietrick said. "It is a tool for planning and documentation and is required by EU as spelled out in Annex 15 of the EU (EC) GMP directive".


Formulated in 2012 in the grungey-lurks of Hamilton (NZ), Cheshire Grimm took off in the local scene and have expanded their sound further around NZ and Australia each year - this band is one of today's leading acts hailing from the humble river city.
This band have taken their sound from rocky mosh pits into a new realm of dark dance grooves. 2016 saw them open for the legendary Cherie Currie (The Runaways) on her world tour, adding to their list of bills shared with Kora, Ladi6, MC Tali, Pitch Black, Devilskin, Bakers Eddy, MY BABY, Knights of the Dub Table, Skinny Hobos, The Datsuns, Valkyrie and many more.
2017 marked the release of their long awaited second EP "Rain or Shine" along with their second Australian Tour with good friends Skinny Hobos, and 2018 saw the band headline Future City Festival in their Hometown as well as getting back on the road around the North and South Islands, leading up to the release of their latest single and video 'So Much for the Summer'.
So far 2019 has seen the band coasting off the success of So Much for the Summer, playing at the first ever Milk & Honey Festival in Auckland as well as Opening for International act Regurgitator, with a brand new single 'Shadows' set to drop in late April.
'Shadows' combines the traditional Melancholic 'Grimm' Vibe, with an upbeat and heavy riff-driven sound like nothing they have released before.


In the end, 8 contestants (Scott Twiss, Cathy, Charlene, beccity98, Spicybugs, A., Kelly and JJ) made it to the final round with some interesting comments explaining exactly why they need a piece of gold crap hanging off their mobile phones.
Cathy! Congratulations and you'll be getting your new strap in the mail soon.
All the rest of you, don't worry, they'll be more contests coming up in the future!

Q: separating business rules from business logic i just want to know alternatives or design patterns of how I can separate business rules from business logic WITHOUT using a business engine if possible.
there is already a question that asked this subject but every answer seems to have no specific answer so here is my try.
for example, for an application to a school.
there would rules like the minimum age, the maximum age, prerequisite education and etc.
and then after a year, the school would ask for additional rules like
hair color should be of a specific type,
the height,
the length of fingers should be of a certain length,
the music they listen to and all that additional rules.
how can I make an application to be adaptable to these kind of changes on the system.

A: Business logic and business rules are really just two ways of describing the same thing.
I recommend you think about your problem from two perspectives. First think about the business objects that will exist. For example a Pupil object that has values such as age, height and so forth. Then think about rules that you would like to have applied, such as validating that all pupils over a certain age should have a minimum height. You could implement the validating as part of the business object or as a separate object in its own right. There is no right or wrong answer as it depends on the problem your trying to solve.
