Tarot is a tool that enlightens and helps make better decisions. It can be used both for predictions and guidance.
Tarot does not deny free will.
This is why a Tarot session is mostly made of advices and warnings. But if you're here, just like me, you probably believe in fate. To a certain extend at least.
Tarot is a tool to help you understand and achieve your own destiny.
It is very complex. But it's extremely useful and enlightening.
Any question, problem, uncertainty can be helped or solved with Tarot.
In the Middle-Ages and during the Renaissance, Tarot was both used as a tool for general study, philosophy and fortune telling.
In my blog, I will try to help you discover the bright side of Tarot. Far from clichés of witchcraft, evil works or anything gothic. The entire purpose of Tarot is to shed light where it's most needed.
WHAT IS AN (ONLINE) TAROT SESSION?
When I read the cards for a sitter, whether this person comes to me for the first time or not, I focus entirely on them and ask them to do the same. It's a real "me-time".
Getting a reading is a moment you take to shed new light on your life. You take a good look at who you are and where you stand. This is also true of an online reading: take time to find the best reading for your needs. Think about the exact questions you'd like to ask. Then sit with your report, reflect and meditate on the answers and guidance it's providing.
Tarot can help you understand the people who surround you, their energies, their intentions.
It helps you see clearer in your work, love and family situation to make better decisions.
A Tarot session should always be tailored for your specific needs.
Some people order a reading as they would for get a general check up and see where they stand and where they're headed. It's very useful and pleasant to have such readings 3 or 4 times a year (I personally recommend one per season).
Others come with specific questions or worries on their minds; about love, work or inspiration. Tarot is like a wise friend who will take the time to help you feel better and see things clearer.

Q: Cannot cast datatype in Hive query I am having trouble casting a field from string to timestamp in hive after running date formats on it. The example of what I am trying to do is as follows:
select cast(date_format(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(my_date ,'MM/dd/yyyy'), 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss a'), 'MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a') as timestamp) my_date
from sample_schema.sample_table

The natural datatype this select statement results in is string and I need to be able to cast this to timestamp

A: If your my_date is in "MM/dd/yyyy" format.
select from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(my_date, "MM/dd/yyyy"),"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");

If only men can fast forward the hands of the clock, over 90 percent of the electorate in all the Nigerian States where governorship elections will be conducted in 2019 would wish that tomorrow is that election day. The reason is not far fetched, only a few Nigerian governors are performing up to average and the masses cannot wait any longer for the governors who are performing below par to give way for better ones.
Although much emphasis has been made about the poor performance of the President Muhammadu Buhari led federal government of Nigeria, the truth is that the effect of an indifferent federal government would not have been so felt by the helpless masses if the governors themselves were prudent and sincere in their administration of governance to the people, and having all intent to perpetuate nothing except good governance at all cost.
In Imo State for example, there are solid claims in various quarter that Governor Rochas Okorocha ,has reduced governance to a mere child's play. If such claims are valid enough to be considered truth, what it means is that Okorocha has spent six years without administering the basics of good governance to the masses of the State.
This could explain why imolites are mad at Okorocha who has come under strong attack in recent weeks emanating from all corners, including the local and international media, for erecting the statues of the embattled South African President, Jacob Zuma, and his Liberian counterpart, Mrs. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, an exercise that was allegedly carried out with the State funds and gulped close to a whopping 600 million naira ,though the state government had debunked the claim that such amount of money was expended in erecting the statues that have sparked off controversies. This is with the exclusion of other monies spent on the lavish hosting of these heads of state.
While some imolites are today scratching their heads to figure out what the State stands to gain from the exercise, majority of them believe it is a misplacement of priority and have accused Okorocha of gross abuse of office and executive recklessness. To add weight to this claims is SERAP which has since asked anti graft agencies, EFCC and ICPC to probe Okorocha for corruption and abuse of office.
It is understandable why the governor's actions and inactions have frayed nerves in the State. In Imo currently, civil servants and pensioners are owed arrears of salaries and pensions respectively; the State has a record of bad roads, poor health facilities and unemployment is the order of the day. The Chief Executive soon after his re-election in 2015 abandoned his Job Job Job, Factory Factory Factory and Industry Industry Industry campaign mantra only to embrace Statue! Statue! Statue!, which apparently adds nothing to the development of the State and wellbeing of her citizens. The economy of the state is in shamble and a state of shame.
Imolites are dying of hunger and starvation and lack of basic necessities of life. The recent shocking death of the Chairman of Imo State of Nigeria Union of Pensioners highlights further the suffering which the masses of the state are currently passing through. Sadly and regrettably, few days before his unfortunate demise, like many other pensioners, he received a dud check from the State government which had few weeks back embarked on a deceitful and fraudulent pension payment exercise.
However, I don't want to believe that all hope is lost for Imolites with 2019 general elections drawing near. I also don't want to believe that the State lacks credible and conscientious leaders who can steer her affairs with humility, respect for the masses and sincerity of purpose. Imo needs a quality leader and technocrat who will bring a paradigm shift and entrench good governance, touching every facet of her economy.
In my own point of view, what Imo needs is a leader who shares similar vision as the youthful Mbaitoli born Jeff Uzor who is not only endowed with what it takes to breath fresh air into the State but also has unbridled passion for his beloveth Eastern Heartland.
Jeff for example has vast experience both in public and private sector needed to give Imo State a touch of class. He boasts the clout which is required to surmount certain administrative challenges in government having been able to contribute his quota to the development of the United States of America through his Evergreen Contracting Firm which offers various forms of services to the government of USA. At the age of 43, Jeff will not be found wanting in the agility needed to orchestrate the onerous task of governing a state like Imo, essentially at a time in the history of the State when so many people, including Okorocha himself, are clamouring for active involvement of youths in the highest level of leadership.
The successful businessman grew up in his native mbaitoli and spent years schooling in Nigeria. He had started his business in Nigeria before expanding the empire to international level. He knows Imo State in and out and had long developed the desire to contribute his own quota to her development.
Jeff Uzor is one of the few Imo sons who already has the blueprint to reform the Imo State civil service and the education, industrial, agricultural and health sectors of her economy to accepted global standard. Through massive industrialization and ensuring that the viability of the public and private sectors is achieved. The young man believes that Imo State will become economically stable like an average State in the USA, hence reducing hunger and starvation to the barest minimum. Also, coming from the background of an improved democracy like the USA, the governorship hopeful knows that ensuring sanity, transparency and accountability in government will be crucial to building the Imo of our collective dream. He has the intention to make it impossible for himself or anybody coming after him to loot Imo treasury by removing the secrecy of Imo funds through keeping in public domain figures of revenues accruing to the State under his watch in the form security vote, federal allocation, internally generated revenues etc, and how they are spent. Jeff believes in nothing except using the wealth of Imo State to work for Imo State alone and not diverting public funds into his private pocket and that of his cronies.
In conclusion, the reason why Imo citizens, like their counterparts from other States of the federation, are still yearning for good governance is simply because they have continued to elect bad governors. However, if the story must change in no distant time, especially as 2019 general elections draw nearer, a leader in the mould of Jeff Uzor will not be a bad choice.

Networking at conferences – breaking the ice, without being a sleazebag?
Last week we posted on tips and tricks for presenting your work at conferences – especially for postgraduates and early-career researchers.
Another benefit of conferences is networking.
With conference season upon us, in AUSCCER discussion has turned to how to network at conferences – especially for postgraduate students and early-career researchers.
We absorbed some terrific advice from the geography postgrads at Manchester University: I recommend reading their comprehensive list of suggestions.
Another key dilemma we discussed is: how to make the most of networking at a conference, without coming across as an opportunistic sleazebag?
You'll meet a smaller group of people with similar interests to yours. Much easier to break the ice when there's a common interest. And, you will be able to reconnect with these same people over morning tea when the 'big' conference begins.
Ditto official field trips. Who knows who you'll sit next to on the bus. It's how I met Gerard Toal and Anna Secor– at a political geography conference field trip in the West Bank in 1998, when I was a bumbling postgraduate (I'm still bumbling, but now thankfully with tenure…). We ended up backpacking for a while together after that trip. Although I rarely see them, living here in Sydney a rather long way from Washington DC or Lexington, I've valued their advice and views ever since.
I know this is easier said than done, but if you feel isolated and alone try to overcome this as soon as possible on the first day. There's only so many times you can check facebook on your phone. I recall attending conferences as a PhD student and not talking to anyone until the second day. Eventually striking up a conversation, I wished I had grown a spine earlier. Once you've had a pleasant chat with at least one person then the whole event seems friendlier and more open.
Lining up for registration on the first morning is a good opportunity: talk to whoever is next in line… don't try to make a deep academic insight, just normal small talk! And when you've got your name tag and calico bag, if the conversation has lulled, simply say "see you around" and find a nice nook in which to study the program.
Networking at conferences is not like picking up at a bar. There are no perfect 'pick up lines' and better to say hello and chat about the weather than try make a clever or witty comment. BUT just like picking up at a bar, if you do try to strike up a conversation and all you get in return is negative body language, then back out… quickly!
My PhD supervisor always advised to network and collaborate academically with people you like – your friends. Simple. No point in trying to establish a collaboration with a nasty or unfriendly person, no matter how close their research area is to yours, or how eminent they are in your field. Academic life will prove far more rewarding if you build a network of connections on the premise of friendship and respect rather than opportunism.
Shadow your supervisor for a little while, if need be. They should introduce you to their friends. You can quickly gain connections with like-minded folk by going for a coffee, lunch or beer with your supervisor and their existing "inner sanctum" of colleagues.
I'd be interested in hearing others' views on this. I always take a bunch of business cards to conferences, but rarely hand them out – and often only when reciprocating after someone else has given me theirs. Are social media such as facebook, twitter and LinkedIn replacing the need for business cards? It could be a function of generational difference. I sit on the fence. Take some cards along, but don't expect to hand out loads of them.
Can you capture the essence of your thesis topic in 140 characters or less? Try it. I still find it difficult to talk about my research succinctly. Try telling someone about your thesis verbally, maximum two sentences.
When you strike up conversations at a conference, invariably you'll be asked about your research. Make your reply short, but engaging – as with tweets. If there's a genuine point of connection, you'll end up talking for longer. If not, that's ok – and you won't have bored or annoyed someone with long or convoluted explanations.
The Mancunian geographers emphasised this point too: if you come home from the conference having only met a few people, it's OK. It takes time and many repeat visits to the same annual conference to build a friendly academic network. Better to form a few promising connections rather than try and make everyone know your presence at your very first conference.
If there are key people whose work you've already read and admired, watch their presentation and ask a succinct, friendly but engaging question. You might preempt a possible question before the conference, based on recent work of theirs that you have read. Invariably that person will come and have a chat after their paper, if you hang around a little while afterwards.
Do you have comments or suggestions? Do you take business cards to conferences? How do you break the ice?
With both the Institute of Australian Geographers and IBG-RGS conferences looming, in AUSCCER we've been talking about making the most of conferences – especially for postgraduates and early-career researchers.
Much underestimated, but critical, are a few close details about presenting yourself and your work, when it's your turn to talk.
Here's a few tips and tricks.
Practice your presentation and time it. If it's too long, even by a minute, cut it back further. If you've been given 15 minutes to present, do not settle for 16 minutes as 'close enough'.
Before your session starts, for instance when you're uploading your PowerPoint file, let the session chair know that you've practiced and timed your presentation and that it is exactly the correct time (or less). Your session chair will appreciate it. It makes their job of managing speakers, timing and questions easier. And often, the session chair is the most likely person to remember you from the conference – the most immediate person to make a good impression upon.
Think VERY carefully about your opening sentence. Resist the temptation to waste precious seconds saying "Hi, my name is …." or "I'm a PhD student from the university of …." Instead, try to write a punchy, engaging first sentence that gets right to the heart of the wider issue/problem/debate in your paper or research field. When in doubt, write a short sentence in the form: "This paper confronts the question of ….".
If you're worried that this tactic will somehow seem unfriendly – don't. The audience want you to get on with it ASAP.
Maybe use a dramatic example, an anecdote or an attention-grabbing 'event' to capture the audience from the very first paragraph. Ben Gallan from AUSCCER has a great example: a dramatic YouTube clip of urban street violence that immediately starts his presentation. The audience is gripped from the first second.
Also spend time carefully crafting your final sentence. Make it a definitive conclusion and deliver it in a manner that makes it obvious it's your final sentence. Try deliberately slowing down for this sentence, and inserting a pause just before you launch into it. Don't end a presentation by way of asking the audience if there are any questions: that's the job of the session chair AFTER you've been applauded. Instead, just deliver your 'punchy last line' with style. When in doubt, return back to the theme of your attention-grabbing first line. If that first line was presented as a question, come back to answer it, or if a ponderance on a big picture problem, return to it in your presentation's final line.
If you need to provide some background on you, or some context for your paper (e.g. that it comes from your PhD, or is a tentative 'first stab' at something), try placing this as the second paragraph in your spoken presentation – after your dramatic 'opener'.
Also use this second paragraph to quickly position the paper in a field or literature. Or use this second paragraph to quickly explain what this paper is not about, or to 'spot-check' literatures that you're aware of, but won't discuss today. This is about preempting questions from the floor about some tangential literatures or debates that you won't have time to discuss in any great detail.
Try to strike a balance between enough background/theoretical framing, and substantive case study material. I recall witnessing a disaster of a paper once, when a speaker spent his full 20 minutes (including allocated question time) boring the audience with the intricacies of his theoretical 'model', then got angry with the session chair when they stopped him before he'd said a word about the case study. Most audience members won't be disappointed if you provide 'just enough' conceptual framing, in order to let the 'story' breathe. Also, resist the temptation to show how your case study has relevance to all manner of debates and disciplinary sub-fields. You can expand on or diversify your story at next year's conference. For now, drill down to a single message, the single core story you want to tell on this occasion.
When in doubt, use plain background colours.
PowerPoint design experts reckon that san serif fonts like Arial or Calibri are best, and that there should be no more than three dot points per slide, max 6 words per dot point.
I like using a sequence of photos without any text at all. The pictures vividly portray things without words in dot points cluttering up my spoken story.
Don't waste space putting in a slide outlining your presentation's structure (especially if you're sticking to a conventional structure anyway). Ditto a slide at the end with "Thank you – any questions?" written on it. There's no need.
In light of the above, when in doubt use a fully-written script for your presentation and read it out on the day. Practice it beforehand to identify any phrases that are awkward to read out. Deliberately shorten all your sentences, and use a shorter word in the place of a longer one where appropriate. This doesn't mean dumbing things down. It means being comprehendible and making your job of reading out a paper smoother and more enjoyable.
Why not just chat, off-the-cuff, to the audience?
Having a written script means you can practice and time your presentation precisely.
It means being in control of every word, rather than allowing splutters, 'you know', 'like' and other verbal ticks into your presentation.
Nuanced ideas are better usually better communicated on paper than off-the-cuff. The very best academics might be able to talk theory as if having a casual chat, but most of us mere mortals need a bit of help getting the key theoretical phrases 'right'.
Having a written script disciplines yourself: you can pace yourself with confidence, and more reliably stick to your pre-determined 'killer open sentence', and 'punchy last line'.
You'll sleep better the night before.

Gold bullion again gave back a $10 overnight pop on Wednesday in London, falling back to last week's finishing level at $1183 per ounce for the third session running as world stock markets rose and oil prices jumped on rumors of an OPEC output cut.
Western government bond prices slipped, driving 10-year US Treasury yields back above 2.34% to extend their third fastest month-on-month rise of the last decade following Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election.
Trump announced on Twitter today that he will hand all control of his business empire to his children and advisors in mid-December, apparently responding to growing criticism over the conflicts of interest due to start with his presidency on 20 January.
Crude oil prices meantime jumped as much as 8% – briefly trading above $50 per barrel of Brent for the first time in a week – on news-wire reports that the Opec cartel of major producer nations is close to agreeing a cut to output in a bid to stem the half-decade slide in energy values.
Rising food prices pushed inflation across the 19-nation Eurozone up to a 2.5-year high last month, albeit at 0.6% per annum on new data today.
Silver held firmer than gold bullion on Wednesday, adding 50 cents per ounce from its 5-month lows at $16.17 of last week as broader commodity markets including copper rose with oil.
"Support comes in at $1171.60 – [the] recent low," says the latest technical gold price analysis from Canada-based finance giant Scotiabank's New York bullion desk, "while resistance remains unchanged at the $1200 level.
"Momentum and [other chart] indicators are bearish and risk remains to the downside."
Rumored at 4% of October's record-high Opec output – "climb[ing] for five months running," according to the International Energy Agency, "led by Iraq and Saudi Arabia" – the crude oil quotas apparently being agreed in Vienna will also see a cut of perhaps 1% in non-Opec production, led by Russia.
After world #1 Saudi Arabia was challenged by neigbors Iran and Iraq over its threat to quit the talks, "There will be a production cut, agreed by everyone, with quotas for countries," Bloomberg quotes Algerian energy minister Noureddine Boutarfa today.
Italy's stock market rallied Wednesday after its banking sector fell hard yesterday amid fresh opinion polls saying Prime Minister Renzi may lose this coming weekend's referendum on constitutional reform – now widely seen as a vote on the country's broader governance, including its membership of the Euro.
Here in London, a drop in commercial real estate prices –plus the UK's current account deficit with the rest of the world, and growing household debt – poses the biggest threats to UK financial stability, the Bank of England said today, warning of "potential for further Sterling depreciation."
The Pound today traded 6% above last month's new record low on the Bank of England's current Sterling Index, but remained -14% for 2016 to date.
Gold bullion priced in Sterling retreated below £950 per ounce for the third time in a week, trading near its lowest level since surging 22% as the UK's Brexit referendum decision to quit the European Union became clear on 24 June.
Shares in the UK's largest commercial bank fell 4% Wednesday as the Royal Bank of Scotland – still three-quarters owned by the UK state since the 2008 financial crisis followed its purchase of Dutch bank ABN Amro in a record-setting £49 billion deal – failed the BoE's latest 'stress test' scenarios, saying it has "agreed a revised capital plan...to improve its resilience."

Our fantastic relationship with Gloucestershire College has continued throughout 2015 and we are already making plans for next year. The pupils have enjoyed visiting the Shelter to learn more about our work and responsible pet ownership, as well as getting hands on with the animals and joining in some of the daily tasks around the kennels.
Some have even experienced a whole day of working at the Shelter and these placements have been great fun for them and us. For those unable to come to the Shelter we have also been to the college a number of times and given talks, taking a furry friend whenever possible.
The youngsters have also been fundraising for the Shelter. A recent cake sale held at the college raised over £79, and pictured below are the students delivering their donation to our Education Assistant Jen Protheroe.
So far this year the college pupils have donated an amazing £565 as well as many blankets, towels and animal food they have collected.
We're really excited to work with them in 2016 and see what else we can achieve together.

Q: Guidance on setting Android version in AndroidManifest.xml/properties.project I'm working on a hybrid worklight application and need to set the minSdkVersion in the AndroidManifest.xml and target in the project.properties to android 10.  I've seen several references to manually updating these files, but I'm concerned that after modifying and checking into source control that they could be missing something (if they're generated again by Worklight).  Are there any configuration parameters in Worklight studio or other files to set the Android version or will it be ok to modify/check into source control and use the same file each time?

A: From reading this article, Integrating with source control systems, it looks to me like there will be no problem with committing the mentioned files into your source control application.
In Android (and Worklight), you set the minSdkVersion in Android's provided AndroidManifest.xml.

New Lions Coach Dan Campbell Is Ready To Bite Some Kneecaps
Samer Kalaf

The biggest strength of new Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell, excluding his literal strength, is in looking and acting like an Attitude Era pro wrestler, and his introductory presser today emphasized that. This guy is not only here to develop a resilient and motivated football team. No, Campbell is prepared to lead his men to see how many bites it takes to get to a juicy patellar tendon.
Campbell was more than happy to lean into the cliché about Detroit sports teams having to reflect the toughness and determination of the city they represent. Then he took it a step further, and another step, until he sounded like he was hired to coach a roster of extremely persistent zombies:
Here's what I do know: This team is gonna take on the identity of this city, all right? This city's been down and it found a way to get up. It's found a way to overcome adversity. And so this team's gonna be built on: We're gonna kick you in the teeth, and when you punch us back we're gonna smile at you, and when you knock us down, we're gonna get up, and on the way up we're gonna bite a kneecap off, and we're gonna stand up, and then it's gonna take two more shots to knock us down, and on the way up we're gonna take your other kneecap, and we're gonna get up, and then it's gonna take three shots to get us down, and when we do, we're gonna take another hunk out of you. Before long, we're gonna be the last ones standing. That's gonna be the mentality.
You can go here to watch the entirety of Campbell's presser, but below is the snippet about gnawing on kneecaps. It's really something.
Whether Lions players will find Campbell absolutely exhausting after three weeks is to be determined, but the effectiveness of this mindset is completely reliant on them winning games. Yes, every football coach is hired to win games, excluding maybe Adam Gase, but the leash on this kind of organizational philosophy is shorter. What is clear is that the coach's intensity is genuine, to the point where it's almost alarming. When the Miami Dolphins fired Joe Philbin and installed Campbell as interim head coach in 2015, the team won its next game over the Tennessee Titans, 38-10. With a hat tip to Ryan Yousefi, watch this postgame speech. Campbell was ready to "fuckin' bleed" for his players after that victory.
Campbell's skills can be helpful in maintaining morale over the course of a season, and a lot of football teams have a guy like him somewhere on their payroll. The difference is that they don't usually make him the head coach.

I don't want to sit and beg
MANDEVILLE, Manchester — Thirty-six-year-old amputee, David Daley, is determined to support his family and himself despite having to live with one leg.
"Cause, I tell myself, I don't want to sit and beg," he told The Jamaica Observer Central.
Daley who was born in Newell, St Elizabeth, came under scrutiny when family members saw from early that one foot was longer than the other. Another abnormality was that his right foot had four toes.
Alarm further set in, when doctors informed Daley's family that if he continued to walk using both feet, he would eventually suffer adverse effects on his spine.
He spent time receiving treatment at the Mona Rehabilitation Centre in Kingston from he was nine years old and then the heart-breaking decision was taken to remove his right foot.
Daley was then given a prosthesis (artificial leg) but in time he found the artificial limb unbearably uncomfortable, so he stopped using it.
The way Daley tells it, one day he became inspired to ride a bicycle when he saw a one-legged man selling newspapers while riding.
For 22 years since then, Daley has been riding a bicycle, finding it useful in performing a variety of tasks.
Daley drew on his strength and that of family members and started to transport children to school on his bicycle. This began when his mother asked him to take his younger brother to school and neighbours who saw him assisting his brother asked if he could take their children to school as well, and Daley responded by becoming a well-needed mode of transport; a task he did for 14 years.
He then moved on to transporting cooking gas, eggs, and other items on his bicycle for community members.
That was not all for Daley as he has also tried his hand at car washing, electrical work, welding, raising goats and chickens, selling eggs, construction, making and selling items such as peanut drops and peanut cakes.
Some of these jobs, he is still doing to take care of his family, says Daley, who currently lives in Northampton, St Elizabeth, with his wife, Monique and two-year-old daughter Zonnique.
He freely admits that coping with just one leg isn't easy.
"A lot of people see me riding on one foot and think it's easy, but it wasn't easy. Is not something like if yu foot cut off today, you can jump on a bicycle tomorrow. No, it takes a whole lot," Daley shared with this publication.
He also recognises that his life can be an example for others who have to deal with severe adversity.
"Whatsoever you are doing you got to come from deep within," he told Observer Central. "You got to make up your mind that I'm gonna do this… and don't mek nobody stop you, don't look at yourself like, 'hey this happened to me, it's the end of the world'. No, it's not the end of the world. We can all rise up," Daley said.
He is also challenging able-bodied persons to do better in life.
"You can get up and do something. There's so much that you can do. I meet people who come to me even begging me money and saying 'nothing nah gwaan'. Come on, nuttin nah gwaan if you sit down every day an' say nuttin nah gwaan. Get up and do something, seek, go out and reach out and somebody will help you. You will get a work from somebody. You affi mek something gwaan because if I did tell myself that, where would I be?"
Nathalie Jordon, a business owner in Goshen, St Elizabeth supports Daley by being a regular customer, buying eggs from him.
"He's a really hard-working person," said Jordan. "He is dedicated to trying to make something for himself. He's coming from a humble background and him just tell himself say him nah go out deh go do no wrong. Him ah go work hard and do something. So me kinda really proud of where he's coming from and his achievements and he's still trying to go," she added.
Daley says an abiding wish is to be able to do things that will motivate people. He enjoys sitting with other people with disabilities and trying to help them lift their self-esteem.

A boost for Mandeville Regional's ENT department
MANDEVILLE, Manchester — The recent donation of a surgical microscope to the Mandeville Regional Hospital has greatly enhanced the institution's capacity to deal with ear, nose and throat (ENT) cases, medical experts say.
The surgical microscope, worth $3.1 million, was recently handed over to the hospital by the charity group, Manchester Wellness Foundation, according to a news release.
Acting CEO at Mandeville Regional, Marcia Francis, told those at the presentation ceremony that while the hospital's ENT department performed 317 surgical procedures in 2018, it will now be able to do many more.
"The hospital could have facilitated more surgical procedures, however, the absence of the surgical microscope made it impossible. With this robust, compact and flexible microscope, the hospital's ENT team will be able to perform additional procedures with compassion, in an accountable, respectful, and efficient manner," Francis said.
Consultant at the hospital's ENT department, Dr Andrew Manning, said the microscope will be particularly helpful in treating the condition serous otitis media with effusion, commonly known as "glue ears", which affects learning.
"This condition is fluid behind the eardrum and if not addressed before age four, children would have missed out on most of what they would learn in life. Normally we would have to refer children to the Bustamante Hospital for Children, but now we are able to address these cases," Manning said.
Chairman of the Manchester Wellness Foundation and acting regional director of the Southern Regional Health Authority, Herschel Ismail, pointed out that the foundation adopted the ENT department three years ago and to date has donated equipment and instruments valued at more than $6 million.
Since the establishment of the Manchester Wellness Foundation in 2003, the foundation has raised and disbursed more than $17.6 million to health facilities in Manchester through two major fund-raising events — a run walk and a vintage party — the news release said.

Raytheon Awarded $60 Million for San Antonio-class landing platform dock USS John P. Murtha
Posted On Friday, 13 January 2012 09:39
World Navy Force News - USA
Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) has been awarded a $60.3 million U.S. Navy contract to develop and integrate the total ship electronics systems for LPD 26, the 10th ship of the Navy's LPD 17 class of expeditionary warfare ships.
Under the contract, Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems extends its role as the total ship electronics systems integrator for all LPD 17-class ships. Raytheon will provide the Shipboard Wide Area Network; engineering and ship control systems; navigation data distribution system; magnetic signature control system; wire-free portable and integrated voice communication systems; and the AN/SPS-73 navigation radar.
"Raytheon's advanced and reliable ship systems integrated onboard the LPD 17 class continue to demonstrate proven and predictable performance," said Kevin Peppe, Raytheon IDS' vice president of Seapower Capability Systems. "Leveraging the technology advancements, experience and success gained on the LPD 17, DDG 1000 and CVN 78 programs, we continue to deliver mature, common and affordable solutions for the U.S. Navy's family of ships."
This contract follows the successful U.S. Navy sea trial of the San Diego (LPD 22), during which Raytheon's integrated ship systems performed as designed, meeting all performance requirements.

Q: Importing a SASS file from outside of a rails app I'm trying to @import an external SASS file to my rails app with no luck.
The folder structure is as follows
- /
  - External_dir
    - sass
      - main.sass <-- file I need

  - Rails_App
    - app
      - assets
        - stylesheets
          - app.sass <-- file where it should be imported

I've tried using relative paths (../../../../External_dir/sass/main), absolute paths (/External_dir/sass/main) and symlinks but nothing is working. Does anyone have any ideas? I can't continue without these other styles and I don't want to have to copy them over. Thanks in advance.

A: As cimmanon said in the comments this is a duplicate of SASS: Import a file from a different directory?
The issue had to do with the @imports in the external SASS files using relative paths that the current directory wasn't able to access. By updating the @imports to paths accessible from the current working directory, the SASS was able to import correctly.


Geographic proximity between parents and their children has shown to be an important determinant for the quality and intensity of intergenerational relationships. It is not only one of the most important predictors of the provision and of care and support (Greenwell and Bengtson 1997; Knijn and Liefbroer 2006; Hank 2007; Bordone 2009; Mulder and Van der Meer 2009), but it also enhances feelings of togetherness (Kohli, Künemund et al. 2005) and reciprocation (Künemund and Rein 1999; Breheny and Stephens 2009) .
The main objective of the PhD research is to get insight into the extent proximity of adult children is a predictor of residential relocations of older persons, but also a resource for well being at older ages, in particular in the situation of poor health and the absence of a partner in the household.
With a combination of register and survey data the project aims to get insight into 1) the regional dimension of intergenerational proximity in the Netherlands, 2) the extent to which children living close by reduce the propensity to change residence and institutionalisation, 2) the effect of parental health and widowhood on the propensity to live at close intergenerational proximity, and 3) how proximity of adult children affects older parents' life satisfaction.

Luther's Fortress: Martin Luther and His Reformation Under Siege
In 1521, the Catholic Church declared war on Martin Luther. The German monk had already been excommunicated the year before, after nailing his Ninety-Five Theses—which accused the Church of rampant corruption—to the door of a Saxon church. Now, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V called for Luther "to be apprehended and punished as a notorious heretic." The edict was akin to a death sentence: If Luther was caught, he would almost inevitably be burned at the stake, his fragile movement crushed, and the nascent Protestant Reformation strangled in its cradle... Read more.
"James Reston, Jr. is a prolific, best-selling, and, based solely on this work, a highly skilled writer....His ability to convey the atmosphere of the time so palpably and to bring various personae to life so vividly is certainly the book's major strength and advantage. After bringing us to 1521, Reston recounts Luther's entry into Worms and his actions at the Diet in a detailed, lively, and gripping "you-are-there" style that captures the tension and the suspense of this event far better than the typical academic book....Such lively writing will surely make this book appealing to many readers. The book is extremely well written, in an engaging and passionate style, and it will undoubtedly serve as a useful and captivating introduction for many to Luther and the early years of the Reformation, and as an inspiration to others.
--Jay Goodale, Professor of the Reformation, Bucknell University, HNet
"An engaging study of a short but explosive period in the life of the great reformer....a swift moving narrative....an intensive journey inside Luther's thinking as it was forming in opposition to the Roman Catholic Church." --Kirkus Reviews
"Reston's superb juxtaposition of Luther's solitude in the Wartburg Castle and the instability in both Rome and Wittenberg demonstrates how truly perilous a moment this was in the history of the burgeoning Reformation." --Publisher's Weekly
"A crisply written narrative.....the author details in exemplary fashion what was so important and influential about his subject's life and works. A fine, scholarly but accessible treatment of a key period in the life of one of the most influential persons in the history of Christianity." ---Library Journal
The book can be found on Amazon.

Britney Johnson'20 talks life at Beloit
Feb 07, 2017 by Lillie Herbst	in Features
Therese Lydon/The Round Table
Britney Johnson'20, a native of Dallas, spoke with The Round Table about her life at Beloit, her passions and the Flobots.
The Round Table: How did you start dancing, and fall in love with dance?
Britney Johnson: When I was 4 or 5 I was in a ballet class and they put on hip-hop music. I was also in an advanced jazz class, and because I was light I was literally thrown around, and I loved flying through the air.
RT: What was the weirdest costume you have ever worn?
BJ: In this year's December dance, I was wearing a wig. The weirdest part actually was the top, it was half-mesh half-velvet.
RT: What activities do you do at Beloit and why?
BJ: I'm a member of Sustained Dialogue, and I joined because Sarah Tweedale came to SELL and told me I should join. I am also a tour guide, because I was [one] in high school as well. I tutor at Beloit Memorial High School, I had good mentors who allowed me to get where I am today and I want to make that sort of difference in someone else's life. I was also in Intimate Apparel, it was an African-American play and I wanted to be a part of that, and had never done just a play before, only musicals. I'm also a part of the dance department, because I love dance. I work at the Office of Inclusive Living and Learning as an event coordinator because I think a lot of people don't know a lot of the events that the Office does to promote inclusive living and learning, and I wanted to learn more about that.
RT: What is your favorite throwback jam?
BJ: 'Handlebars' by Flobots
RT: What's your favorite joke?
BJ: Either "Oh my god that's so punny" or "If you were an apple you'd be a fine-apple."
RT: What has been your favorite performance at Beloit so far?
BJ: The Slam Poetry contest, because it was about a boy and I slammed him and he was sitting in the front row with the girl, and she had no idea.
RT: What's your life motto?
BJ: "Fake it till you make it," or "progress is progress no matter how small."
RT: What quote from a song accurately describes your life?
BJ: "Boy, I'm not the kind of drum you hit one time."
RT: Kittens or puppies?
BJ: I'd have to say puppies.

Of all the personalities who made San Francisco early into a great theater city, the most flamboyant, controversial and indispensable was an irrepressible Irishman from New York named Tom Maguire. Known as the "Napoleon of the Stage," Maguire was the city's leading theater producer for over 20 years. Born in humble circumstances and blessed with an uncanny ability to bounce back from disaster, he was the perfect impresario for Gold Rush City.
As Lois Foster Rodecape wrote in the California Historical Society Quarterly in a series of articles beginning in December 1941, Maguire grew up in New York City, where he was a hack driver, Tammany Hall assistant, and bartender. He was a young bravo, fearless and quick with his fists, and supposedly illiterate. In 1849, this energetic and ambitious young man decided to try his luck as a theater director in San Francisco.
After arriving in Instant Town, Maguire found employment as a salon keeper at the old Parker House in Portsmouth Square. He quickly became part-owner, repeatedly rebuilding the building when it burned down in the large fires that ravaged Gold Rush San Francisco. After the fourth fire, in September 1850, Maguire added a small theater on the second floor, calling it the Jenny Lind named after the famous Swedish singer. In the highly diverse style of early San Francisco theater, Maguire staged a mix of Shakespeare, burlesque, minstrel and comedy.
Maguire quickly established the Jenny Lind as one of the city's premier theaters. Then disaster struck once again, when the Sixth Great Fire, in 1851, reduced the building to a heap of ash. Four days after the fire, Maguire began to rebuild again. The new Jenny Lind Theater could seat 2,000 people and was widely acclaimed as one of the city's tallest buildings when it opened on October 4, 1851, with a play titled Shakespeare-in-the-Mother-Lode " All that glitters is No gold.
Despite a string of theatrical successes, Maguire was unable to pay his construction debts. In 1852, one of the biggest scandals in the history of the young town erupted when rumor leaked that Maguire was negotiating with city officials to sell his building to be used as a town hall, for the vast sum of $ 200,000. Critics denounced "corruption" and "bribes", while supporters said the city needed a town hall and the deal was reasonable. After a great uproar, the sale took place and Maguire paid off his debts.
In 1855, Maguire returned to the theatrical scene, making hay on the city's decade-long craze for blackface minstrel performances. His San Francisco Minstrels have been hailed as the best minstrel troupe in town: performing at Maguire's new theater, the San Francisco Hall, they presented not only traditional minstrels, but also burlesque plays of classical and musical plays. 'operas, presented in blackface: what is called "black opera", as opposed to "white opera".
In 1856, full of money, Maguire completely remodeled his theater and reopened it as "Maguire's Opera House". He added a popular saloon next to the theater, The Snug, known as the "little" house because drinks cost a "little" or 12.5 cents.
Maguire now spanned the narrow world of San Francisco theater like a colossus. But he had bigger ambitions. He opened theaters in Sacramento and Nevada, sent tour companies to the Gold Country, and recruited top New York talent, bringing companies in by train after the transcontinental railroad opened in 1869. Amongst others the stars who made their West Coast debut for him were Charles Kean, Edwin Forrest, Lola Montez and Adah Isaac Menken.
Maguire did not have an office. Instead, every morning at 11 a.m. he held an audience in front of his opera house. His striking appearance – he was tall and well built, had a lush mustache, and often sported a huge diamond brooch pinned to his sash – and his volatile personality made him a favorite of the newspapers, which delighted in reporting his many brawls, trials, quarrels. and controversies.
Despite his thorny temperament, Maguire could be kind and generous. One day he was approached by a respectable but poorly dressed woman, who timidly asked him how much it would cost to rent her theater to give a lecture on spiritualism. " You have money ? " He asked. When she said she didn't, but could pay it back after the conference, he told her he would rent it to her for $ 50. When she came to pay him and he found out that she had only earned $ 60, he told her to keep it and add music to the program to make it more popular. She won $ 100 on the next show and tried to pay it again, but he told her to buy some clothes and not to worry about the rent.
For more than two decades, Maguire dominated the San Francisco theater scene. His ups and downs were legendary: he was said to have won and lost millions of dollars several times. If he had contented himself with staging mainly popular works, he could have withdrawn a rich man. But Maguire had an inordinate passion, and that proved his downfall: grand opera. It was sort of normal that this uneducated slum kid who had landed gold beyond his wildest dreams was drawn to the larger-than-life characters, the implausible storylines, and the moving music of the opera. But Maguire's lyrical enterprises, even when they were performing to full halls, generally lost money – often large sums of money. In 1880, a final series of setbacks, topped by his unfortunate support for an unfortunate play on the life of Jesus, "The Passion," dealt Maguire a financial blow that even he could not overcome. The San Franciscans who had seen him resurrected time and time again could hardly believe it when they learned that he had returned to New York. He died there in poverty and relative obscurity in 1896.
Like Napoleon himself, Maguire had legions of detractors and made many enemies during his long career as the backstage king of the histrionic stage. But it was essential in making San Francisco a great theatrical city. And the city's opera enthusiasts owe him a special debt. Although his career ended in failure, he failed in grand style, out of passion for a great art form. Maguire's irrepressible, scintillating words after one of his financially dire seasons could be his epitaph: "I lost $ 30,000; but I didn't give them opera, did I?

Have you ever heard anything quite as romantic as "you are my basil plant"? I'm going to hold on to this gem of a quote for a long time. Reading Middlemarch (MM) would have been worth it for this quote alone.
The book does have more to offer than 1 quote (it has a few gems – I shared them on my Goodreads if you're interested). With MM, George Eliot (real name Mary Anne Evans and hereafter "Evans") set out to depict provincial life at the time. Well, if early nineteenth-century provincial life was all about the drama consuming the local medical community, young men struggling to be adults, and young women realizing that marriage isn't sunshine and unicorns, then I'd say Evans really nailed her depiction.
MM was a mammoth of a book and I feel accomplished as hell having finished it, but I won't miss it. Despite having buckets of melodrama – from love triangles to secrets to suspicions of murder – this book had many plateaus that I struggled to break through. Hence my taking so long to read it. So, so long.
Enter my audiobook. One of my best strategies for breaking through a plateau in a book is to listen to the audiobook while driving. This gets me through whatever part of the book I'm struggling to read so that I can pick it back up without falling asleep. This happened a lot with MM; I'd pick up the book, read a few pages and tah-dah, just like that, I'd be asleep. As you can imagine, this rendered making any kind of significant progress a challenge. How was I supposed to get through 889 pages if I couldn't read more than 3 without passing out?
Enter the audiobook and my daily commute. Thanks to these 2 things, I was able to get through this classic beast over the period of a few weeks, instead of what had been, up until that point, taking me years.
The highlight of this novel, for me, was the character development. Evans does an incredible job of building rich, interesting, and varied characters to make up the Middlemarch community. Men and women alike are developed in unique, intriguing ways that, while giving a generous nod to the Victorian characters we have come to expect and recognize (the snotty gentry, the rebellious woman, the Jane i.e. genteel virginal flower, the rake…), succeeds in carving out individual identities that make them stand apart.
I also like that she gave her main character, Dorothea, room to grow and change her mind and to be strong as well as flawed. The contradictions in Dorothea throughout the text illustrate how someone can not only change their opinions over time, but also how our values and opinions may change depending on the context of the relationship or situation.
Okay, bed now. Pride and Prejudice is up next, so hopefully you'll get an update on that from me soon(ish).

Dallas man shoots woman, kills self with same bullet, police say
By Kelli Dugan, Cox Media Group National Content Desk

Police: Dallas man shoots woman, kills self with same bullet Dallas authorities are investigating after they believe a man died from the same bullet he fired at a woman. (NCD)
DALLAS — Authorities in Dallas are investigating the bizarre death of a man whom they believe died after being struck by a bullet he fired at a woman Saturday morning.
According to KDFW, the shooting occurred just after 11:30 a.m. local time, and responding officers found a large amount of blood and a blood trail – but no victims – in front of a Medical District apartment.
A short while later, an area hospital contacted the Dallas Police Department after a man and woman, both suffering gunshot wounds, were found in a vehicle and transported for medical attention, the TV station reported.
Investigators believe that the man, since identified as 26-year-old Byron Redmon, shot the woman in the neck and that, somehow, the bullet exited her neck and struck Redmon in the leg, WFAA reported.
According to police, Redmon died at the hospital, and the woman, who has not been identified publicly, was treated and released the same day, the TV station reported.


The Fortran 2008 standard introduced "coarrays," which provide a new model for parallel programming integrated directly into the Fortran language. Coarrays allow an application developer to write parallel programs using only a Fortran compiler - no external APIs such as MPI or OpenMP are necessary. The Fortran 2018 standard (formerly called "Fortran 2015") extends coarrays further to include "teams" and other coarray collective procedures. Prior to becoming a part of the Fortran standard, coarrays were widely implemented in a language extension called "Co-Array Fortran" ("CAF"). More information about the motivation, design, and functionality of coarrays in Fortran 2008 can be found in this paper.
As illustrated in these examples, the PGAS nature of coarrays allows the application developer to break the symmetry inherent to two-sided message passing in MPI, in which every "send" must match with a "receive". By contrast, with coarrays one can write data directly from one coarray image onto another, or, conversely, one can retrieve data directly from another coarray image; these procedures are analogous to the MPI_Put and MPI_Get procedures in one-sided MPI communication. This asymmetry often leads to fewer lines of code, as shown above, as well as higher performance than using explicit two-sided message passing.
In addition to the ease of use, due to the PGAS-style semantics of coarrays in Fortran, applications can achieve high performance at extremely high concurrency; tests at NERSC have shown that coarray programs can scale efficiently to >100,000 cores.
Coarrays are a large addition to the Fortran language, and consequently compiler support of coarray codes varies. Below is a description of coarray support on each compiler supported on the NERSC systems.
Intel supports coarray compliation in two different forms: shared memory and distributed memory. By default, neither mode is active, and the compiler will throw an error if it encounters coarray syntax.
Intel's implementations of both shared and distributed memory coarrays is currently incompatible with Cray MPI, and consequently this mode does not work on Cori or Edison.
GCC supports single-image coarray compliation, and also distributed-memory coarrays via OpenCoarrays. By default, coarray support is disabled, and GCC will throw an error if it encounters coarray syntax.

Hair is one's crowning glory. Even history testified how it's considered a symbol of femininity ever since. It was always considered important that people wouldn't mind spending hundreds of bucks just for it to look and smells good even now, states Quora. People can get so vain when it comes to their hair. No wonder why there are already a lot of beauty products available in the market that can improve, moisturize, hydrates, and fragrance it.
But did you know that aside from creams, conditioners, shampoos, and oils that you can put in your hair to make it look better, a healthy diet and lifestyle can also make it healthier? If you want to learn more about your hair and how to keep it healthy, better read on. Here are some of the things you have to know.
One of the reasons why hair is affected by one's health is because it is mainly composed of protein. Protein is one of the main nutrients that act as a building block that can help repair, grow or replace skin, bones, hair, and muscles. Experts advise if you want to keep your hair beautiful, make sure to eat sufficient protein. This nutrient is available in legumes, seeds, eggs, soy foods, and dairy products such as cheese, milk, and yogurt.
Stress can do a lot of negative things in the body, and that includes hair loss. Once stressed, the hair follicles tend to develop prematurely, which cause the hair to fall out sooner than expected. Often this occurs in large amounts. But don't worry, your hair will still regrow immediately.
Health problems, such as thyroid hormonal imbalance and diabetes, affect all the cells in the body, especially the hair follicles. For thyroid hormonal imbalance, the patient's hair tends to get brittle and unhealthy, which could eventually lead to hair loss. For people with uncontrolled diabetes, the cells in their hair starve from glucose. Glucose is every cell's food too, so without the proper balance for it, cells are very much affected. This can result in dry and lifeless hair, says Joy Bauer, the founder of Nourish Snacks and also a nutrition expert on The Today Show, in one of her articles.
Your hair is like the cherry on top of your beautiful face, so make sure to take care of it not just externally, but also internally. Eat the right kind of foods, and avoid an unhealthy lifestyle. Doing so won't just benefit your hair, but it would also keep your body at its best too.

You may never think about them when you use your garage door, but all throughout the process, the torsion springs are doing a lot of work. So it is only fitting that you should understand them and how they work so that you can give them the respect and attention that they require. Read on and behold their awesome might.
Springs are mechanism made to store up energy. This means that when they are stretched out, there is a lot of energy contained ready to leap forward so that the spring may recoil. This energy is what allows them to tighten. On a garage door, the spring is twisted up in a way which makes torsion springs more effective at energy storage than any other type of spring.
The springs on the typical garage door are connected to the top of the door horizontally. So when you pull the door down, there are cables attached to the bottom of the door which makes the springs tighten up. This fills the mechanism with energy which is then given to the door itself which lifts it up into the air and thus making opening easy and safe.
Since the spring operates by being put under extreme stress, it is not surprising that it has a limited lifespan. They will eventually weaken and break. For this, it is highly recommended to make sure you have a safety cable installed for each spring, without it they can fly out and harm anyone in their path. Additionally, exposure to the elements can cause them to corrode which shortens their overall lifespan. However, their life is actually reasonably long so you will get a good number of years out of them before they snap. If your springs break, you should call us immediately and not attempt to fix them yourself because they can be very dangerous to untrained hands.
Broken spring replacement is one of the most common garage door repair services asked for, and as a professional company we are ready for any situation. We carry all types, brands and sizes of springs, and so if you suspect yours is about to give way, give us a call.
