Justia Patents Having Defined Support Or Handle MeansUS Patent for Infusion, stirring and hanging device for preparing beverage Patent (Patent # 4,871,555)
Infusion, stirring and hanging device for preparing beverage
The invention relates to an infusion, stirring and hanging device for preparing beverage in a container comprising a porous bag made of a liquid permeable material containing an infusible substance, and a rigid, non-toxic unit having one section located within said porous bag and another section protruding therefrom, the protruding section having rigid or partially flexible hanging means, enabling the hanging of said device on the rim of said container.
The present invention relates to novel means for preparing beverages, in particular to infusion bags having rigid elements therein, and provided with rigid or partially flexible hanging means.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known to prepare beverages, in particular tea, by using a liquid permeable container containing tea leaves or a beverage extract. The beverage is prepared by utilizing the known devices in the following manner: The water permeable container, containing the beverage extract, is placed in a cup with the required amount of water added thereto, for a desired period of time. The water extracts the beverage extract, or the tea leaves, while the tea leaves remain in the container. When sufficient extraction had been achieved, the device is withdrawn from the cup and the beverage, clear of any traces of extracts or tea leaves, is ready for drinking.
Of the known devices for preparing beverages in the above manner, there are known the rigid devices made of metal or rigid heat-proof plastic comprising a rigid container attached to a rigid handle. The container is filled with the required amount of tea leaves prior to use and its content is disposed of thereafter. Such devices require cleaning and washing of the container after use, and therefore, their appeal to the user is limited.
Contrary to the abovementioned rigid, non-disposable devices, there are also known disposable devices mad e of porous liquid permeable bags, in particular paper bags, containing the beverage extract, or the tea leaves, and having handling means. Such handling means are designed to allow the insertion of the bag into the water in the cup, and then, after sufficient steeping has been achieved, withdrawal thereof, without the need to touch the wet bag or to utilize any additional device such as a tea spoon. Such handling means are usually made , of flimsy, flexible material, such as a cotton or a plastic string, aluminum foil or thin plastic band, and while the tea bag floats in the liquid they are supposed to hang over the rim of the cup. However, it is found in practice, that these known handling means do not meet the requirements set up by their design, and most often slide into the liquid, and thereafter are only removable with some difficulty and with accompanying mess. Furthermore, the sliding of the handling means, which were in contact with the hands of the user, can contaminate the beverage and incure non hygienic aspect to the use of such known means.
In order to overcome some of the problems created by the handling means as outlined above, it was suggested to use liquid permeable bags provided with rigid handles. Israel Pat. No. 34607 discloses a beverage bag provided with a rigid bar secured to the bag and to which is integrally formed a rigid handle which projects out of the bag. Such device overcomes the inadequacy of mess created by the sliding into the cup of the known flexible handling means. However, it creates other problems stemming from the fact that when the beverage bag is placed in the cup, the bag rests on the bottom of the cup and does not float in the liquid, thereby decreasing the infusion and increasing the chance of damage to the delicate bag due to frictional forces between the cup and the bag, a damage which can result in the spill of the tea leaves into the cup.
Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to provide a device which overcomes the above mentioned inadequacies of the prior art devices and provides an improvement which is a significant contribution to the advancement of the infusion art.
In accordance with the invention there is provided an infusion, stirring and hanging device for preparing beverage in a container comprising a porous bag made of a liquid permeable material containing an infusible substance, and a rigid, non-toxic unit having one section located within said porous bag and another section protruding therefrom, the protruding section having rigid or partially flexible hanging means, enabling the hanging of said device on the wall of said container.
The hanging of the device on the wall of the container enables the floating of the bag in the liquid, thereby causing effective infusion while minimizing the chances of effecting any damage to the bag.
The infusible substance can be any substance suitable for preparing a beverage such as tea leaves, coffee, juice extract, soup powder and the like.
The container in which the beverage is prepared can be any known container used for drinking beverages, such as a cup or a glass, or any container used for serving beverages such as a pitcher or a tea pot.
The section of the rigid unit located within the porous bag contributes to the rigidity of the bag, thereby decreasing the chances of the bag to tear. The section of the rigid unit located out of the bag serves as a handle and a hanger, allowing the infusion of the beverage while the hanger is resting on the rim of the cup or is clipped to the upper wall thereof, and the bag is floating in the liquid. When required, the rigid unit can be used as a stirrer, thereby increasing the infusion of the beverage. Alternatively, the rigid unit can replace, when required, other stirring devices, such as the replacement of a teaspoon which is commonly used for the dissolution of sugar, or on other sweetener in the cup, or for the mixing with other liquid such as when adding milk after tea of coffee had been prepared in the container.
An additional advantage of the present invention is that the hanging of the bag on the wall of the cup allows, if required, drinking from the cup without removing the bag therefrom.
Preferably the rigid unit comprises a rectangular frame having outer dimensions substantially equal or slightly smaller than the dimensions of the porous bag and a bar extending from the frame. The end section of the bar is shaped to allow for an easy grip of the rigid unit by the fingers of the user for an easy introduction and removal of the infusion device to and from the container and for the hanging of the end section on the rim of the container. The dimensions of the rigid unit are such that when the rectangular frame is within the container and the end section of the bag hangs on the rim of the container, the frame does not touch the bottom of the container. It is preferable that the hanging means are in the form of a groove located at the bottom part of the end section of the bar wherein the width of the groove allows the end section of the bar to rest on various width of wall container, ranging between thin glasses to thick ceramic containers.
The invention also provides for a rigid unit adapted to be used in an infusion stirring and hanging device for preparing beverage in a container comprising a rectangular frame and a bar extending therefrom, the end section of said bar provided with hanging means enabling the hanging of said unit on the rim of the container.
The invention further provides for a sequence of two or more infusion, stirring and hanging devices attached one to the other by an easily detachable means.
The rigid unit of the invention can be made of any lightweight, non-toxic material such as wood, metal, ceramic or plastics. Preferably, the rigid unit of the invention is made of a plastic material.
The porous bag of the invention can be any non-toxic porous material which can hold the .infusible substance and withstand the temperature of the liquid used for preparing the beverage, such as paper, plastic or cloth. Preferably, the porous bag of the invention is made of porous paper.
The invention will become more clearly understood in connection with the following detailed description of preferred embodiments which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a frontal view of an infusion, stirring and hanging device according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a frontal view of sequence of infusion, stirring and hanging devices according to the invention;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a rigid unit according to the invention;
FIG. 4 is a frontal view of sequence of devices comprising the rigid unit shown in FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 is a frontal view of another embodiment of the invention.
The infusion, stirring and hanging device 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a rectangular porous paper bag 2 containing tea leaves, coffee or other beverage extract (not shown in figure) and a rigid unit 3, one section of which is located within bag 2, while the other section extend out of the bag. Paper bag 2 is sealed along its four edges by known sealing means and the sealed area is marked schematically in drawing 1 by the dashed lines having the numerical value 4. For the purpose of clarity the section of rigid unit 3 located within bag 2 is shown in full lines. The section of rigid unit 3 located within the bag extends from the top of the bag toward the bottom of the bag and comprises a thin plastic bar 5 having two protrusions 6, one protrusion located slightly below the upper part of sealed area 4 and the other protrusion located slightly above the bottom part of sealed area 4. The section of rigid unit 3 located out of bag 2 comprises a handle 7 having hanging means in the form of a rounded groove 8, and a short arm 9 extending from handle 7, groove and arm 9 forming a hook-like shape, which can easily fit on the rim of a cup or a glass. Aperture 15 in handle 7, allows an easy handling of the device 1 by pressing the thumb against the forefinger while handling device 1.
FIG. 2 shows a sequence 11 of infusion, stirring and hanging devices 10, similar to device 1 shown in FIG. 1. Device 10 comprises bag 2 and having sealed areas 4, and rigid unit 13 having handle 7 and hanging means 8 and 9. Bar 5 of the section of rigid unit 13 located within bag 2 forms part of a substantially rectangular frame 15 located substantially parallel and adjacent to the sealed area 4 of bag 2. Handles 7 in sequence 11 are connected one to the other by a thin band 19 which is easily breakable by applying slight force on handle 7. Thus each of devices 10 in sequence 11 can be easily detached from each other.
Rigid units 3 and 13 enable to use devices 1 and 10 respectively, as stirrers. Stirring in connection with devices 1 and 10 is called for in order to effect a more efficient extraction of the extract, or tea leaves located within bag 3 and further in order to dissolve and stir other substances, such as sugar, salt, milk extract or liquid milk in the cup.
FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of a rigid body 20 comprising a thin frame 25 and a thin flat handle 27, having groove 28 which serves as a hook to hang the rigid unit on the rim of cups or other containers, of various wall thickness. The special design of handle 27 allows an easy grip of the handle between the thumb and the forefinger while handling the unit for stirring or for hanging on the rim of the cup. The flat area of handle 27 can be decorated or carry commercial information in writing.
A sequence 21 of infusion stirring and hanging devices comprising rigid units 20 and porous bags 22 is shown in FIG. 4. Handles 27 are connected one to the other by easy detachable connections 29. The sequence of five frames 20 shown in FIG. 4 is made by injection molding. Any other suitable known method for preparing such sequence of rigid units is also applicable. Connections 29 are of thickness substantially lower than the thickness of handle 27 and therefore connections 29 are easily breakable, when slight force is applied on handle 27. The porous paper used to form porous bags 22 is sealed to both sides of frame 25 by any known sealing means such as by heat sealing, to form the porous bag containing the tea leaves. Thus the size of the bag is substantially the size of the frame. The sealed area is marked schematically in the drawing by numerical value 24.
FIG. 5 shows a sequence of rigid bodies 30, comprising thin frames 35 and round, partially flexible hooks 31 connected one to the other by easily breakable thin bands 39. Gap 32 between the end of hook 31 and its left hand arm, as shown in the drawing, can be expanded due to the partial flexibility of hook 31, and thus allows for the clipping of hook 31 to the upper side of the wall of the container, when required.

Bigfoot Accounts From Montgomery County, Indiana
The following accounts were in response to Bigfoot Observed Near Turkey Run State Park, Indiana:
This happened in 2000. We remember it like it was yesterday. It was close to Turkey Run and I could take you right to the place. That's how vivid the encounter still is. This was my report:
OBSERVED: My significant other and I lived in a house near (about 2 miles) from Turkey Run State Park in Montgomery County, Indiana. It first started out, we were sitting near a fire we had built in our yard when I kept getting the feeling I was being watched. This was probably 9 or 9:30 at night. My partner asked me what was wrong to which I told him. A few minutes later, the cattle pastured behind our house started bawling and running like something either scared them or was chasing them. My partner stepped out to the side of the garage (which was beside the house) and called me to come look, which when I got there, there was something tall standing in the moonlight. He then picked up a piece of steel pipe, his weapon of choice, and threw it at the shape, which didn't move. We assumed it was a pine or cedar tree. We went in the house shortly there after, but I still could not shake the "being watched" thing.
The next morning, we went back out to where the tree was supposed to be and there was NO tree! He threw a big rock at the spot where he'd threw the pipe the night before and actually hit the pipe on the ground with the rock. We walked out to where these items were and the grass was all beat down and trails led out through the pasture where the cattle are. There were two distinct trails. The grass was waist high and you could tell the one was used to come up and the one it used to go back by the direction the grass was laying.
TIME AND CONDITIONS: It was cool and clear. There was a partial moon because we could see the the thing standing but not clearly.
ENVIRONMENT: forests and open places. 5 strand barb wire fence 50 or so yards behind house. - name withheld
I live about 4 miles due east of Shades State Park in the SW part of Montgomery County, Indiana. Probably 9 or so years ago, I'm not sure on the year but we still lived in our old house which was lost to fire and the fire was 8 years ago so it was before that. We used to sleep with the windows open due to crappy a/c.
I had gone to bed late one night and after I got settled I noticed that it sounded like every dog in the vicinity was barking which was unusual. A lot of dog owners around here but the dogs don't bark all night or anything. As I was wondering what had them stirred up, I heard a howl like I had never heard before, the best way I could describe it was like a low siren, but it sounded close. I laid there frozen, wondering what in the world it was. We have plenty of wildlife here and you learn to familiarize yourself with their noises especially at night. If for no other reason than to not be unnecessarily scared, as well as to protect livestock if need be. A few years later I found the Ohio Bigfoot howl recording from 1994 on the internet, and that is exactly what I heard that night, there is no doubt in my mind, I had never heard anything like it before then and I've never heard it again since. - Nan68

This film and I have a history. I saw it at the cinema back in 1986 and I hated it. Absolutely hated it. One of the most excruciating cinematic experiences of my life. Horrible movie. So horrible I have never seen it since, not any of it. I really hate seeing bad films at the cinema- hasn't happened to me too often thank goodness. Its one thing to be watching a bad movie on home video, you can switch it off, hit that 'eject' button, but at the cinema? You're stuck there for the ride. Even if the projectionist should really know better and put the patrons out of their misery by faking a power cut or something. So me and Invaders From Mars. We met in 1986 and never again since. Until last night.
Louise Fletcher. I'll never forget my horror at seeing the wonderful Louise Fletcher who I had previously seen in Brainstorm, in which she was so monumentally brilliant, slumming in this film as the teacher from hell that eats a frog for no discernible reason. She hams it up in this film with its rubber martian monsters like she's in a cheap muppet movie, privy to some joke none of us are in on (maybe its her paycheck that she finds so amusing). James Karen, so wonderful in the horror comedy Return of the Living Dead, incredibly miscast here as some army general, smoking cigars like his life depended on the smoke hiding his face/shame from the camera. Karen Black as the oddly hysterical school nurse is just so wrong, wrong, wrong in so many ways, its like she's walked onset from some other movie. But really the true horror is the kid.
Hunter Carson is the nominal star of the film, the child 'hero' David Gardner whose parents are under the martian influence. I don't think I've ever seen such a bad child performance in a movie- the only thing that gives this a run for its money is Jake Lloyd in The Phantom Menace. Really its terrible, as if they got some kid off the streets and shoved him in the movie. Its really quite bizarre, he even manages to 'move' all wrong- even when he runs across the playground it looks like he's acting. I can only imagine what the producers thought after seeing the dailies roll in. They must have known they were in trouble. I always wondered how the hell he got through any audition and then I discovered he was the child of Karen Black so maybe it was some kind of package deal that horribly misfired.
Or maybe its all Tobe Hooper's fault. Maybe it's just how Hooper was directing Carson. The thing is, the central conceit of the original Invaders From Mars was its dreamlike quality, it was the stuff of a child nightmare. Camera angles were always low, the art direction exaggerated perspective with its strange sets, the colours all exaggerated… I actually think in some odd way Hooper was doing something along those lines with how the actors in his remake were delivering their lines and acting, not like real people/characters, but somehow like a childs picture of adult behavior, like adults in a child's dream. Unfortunately it doesn't work in the slightest, the adults just look stupidly overacting, and the kid, well, he's just incredibly irritating. I don't know what Hooper was thinking. Lifeforce has this strange, almost camp quality of a huge blockbuster Hammer film that never was, but Invaders From Mars… its just badly shot, badly acted, badly directed. A complete mess.
Its a really ill judged film. Of course, when he was making Lifeforce, Hooper thought he was making a horror movie. When it was screened he was reportedly upset that audiences were laughing at it. So maybe following that experience he approached Invaders From Mars in some odd way at playing for the laughs (in which case he misfired again) or was suffering from a complete lack of confidence. I don't know. It certainly doesn't help the case for him having had any hand in directing Poltergeist, because none of the suburban scenes in Invaders look anything like as sophisticated as those of Poltergeist, and none of the stunts or horror gags have any of the finesse of Poltergeist. Its clearly the work of another director, far as I can tell. If Hooper did indeed direct Poltergeist, then I have to wonder, what the hell happened to him in the next few years. Did he get abducted by Martians? Did he shoot this film with a plaster on the back of his neck?
There's a car chase roughly midway through Taken 3. Its edited so tight, with such a bewildering number of shots cut into apparently almost every second or so, complete with camera shakes and frenzied focus-pulls, that it made me feel physically nauseous. Literally. I had to look away from the screen. It was an utterly dizzying assault on the senses, a blitzkrieg of visual information that left me quite incapable to fathom the details of exactly what was going on. Piecing together the chaotic shots into a meaningful sequence of events that told a story – or indeed the progression of a stunt- became incredibly difficult. If you thought the action stuff in the Bourne Identity films were a bit maddeningly edited then think again; they seem quite sedate in hindsight. The way this is shot and edited you really cannot tell what the hell is going on half the time.
Really, it was ridiculous. Perhaps the younger generation that this film was aimed at can readily process this sequence at ease. Indeed, perhaps its the crazy pace of how its edited that raises their excitement levels and dispels any ennui on their part. But to me its just terrible film-making, terrible storytelling. Its confusing, its pulling me out of the movie. Maybe its just covering up really bad stunt choreography. It all looks like the work of an amateur to me, to be honest; lots of flash and whistles to disguise the lack of style and imagination. Indeed, this frenzied car chase sums up the whole movie- very dumb and very loud, very contrived and very ill-judged. If this is the future of action cinema then perhaps I should go get my coat and leave. Its not just the car chase of course- all the action sequences and fight scenes are similarly badly staged and terribly edited.Its such a shame, as I really enjoyed Taken and hoped the second film was just a miss-step, but it seems obvious now that the first film was just a lucky fluke. And of course the work of a vastly more accomplished director.

Q: How can I add new jpanel on already existing in this example? Stupid question, but I cant seem to find answer, and when I do it doesn't work. So i want to add new JPanel on already existing JPanel. Sometimes when i add it it just opens a new window when I run it, other times nothing happens. Anyways here is the code:
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class Main extends JFrame {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    new Main().setVisible(true);
}

private Main()
{
    super("Vending machine");

    JPanel p = new JPanel();

      JLabel title = new JLabel("Vending machine: ");
      JButton button1 = new JButton("1");
      JButton button2 = new JButton("2");
      JButton button3 = new JButton("5");
      JLabel label1 = new JLabel("Enter code: ");
      JTextField text1= new JTextField(3);
      JButton ok= new JButton("OK");
      JButton button4 = new JButton("Return change");
      JLabel label2 = new JLabel("Result is: ");
      JTextField text2= new JTextField(3);
      JLabel label3 = new JLabel("Current: ");
      JTextField text3= new JTextField(3);

      title.setBounds(200,5,250,80);
      title.setFont (title.getFont ().deriveFont (22.0f));
      p.add(title);
      p.setLayout(null);

      button1.setBounds(530,46,120,60);
      p.add(button1);
      button2.setBounds(530,172,120,60);
      p.add(button2);
      button3.setBounds(530,298,120,60);
      p.add(button3);
      label1.setBounds(555,414,120,60);
      p.add(label1);
      text1.setBounds(530,454,120,30);
      p.add(text1);
      ok.setBounds(530,550,120,60);
      p.add(ok);
      button4.setBounds(360,550,120,60);
      p.add(button4);
      label2.setBounds(230,530,120,60);
      p.add(label2);
      text2.setBounds(200,575,120,30);
      p.add(text2);
      label3.setBounds(50,530,120,60);
      p.add(label3);
      text3.setBounds(38,575,120,30);
      p.add(text3);

      getContentPane().add(p);
      setSize(700,700);
      setVisible(true);

}
}

I want to add new JPanel on this place: vending machine:

Thank you!

A: Even if you could do this,  it will give you harm for every time you want another changes on this frame.
Instead of locating a JPanel into another JPanel, use layouts.
You shouldnt use static variables and a null layout.
Use appropriate layout managers. Maybe the main panel uses a BorderLayout. Then you add your main component to the CENTER and a second panel to the EAST. The second panel can also use a BorderLayout. You can then add the two components to the NORTH, CENTER or SOUTH as you require.

9 Plâtre
(Paris: Lafayette Anticipations, 2018)
I copy-edited and proofread the catalogue for the launch of 9 Plâtre, the building created by Rem Koolhaas and OMA for Lafayette Anticipations.
Cover text:
More than a century separates the work of Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas from that of the French architect Samuel Menjot de Dammartin, who erected the building at 9 rue du Plâtre in Paris in 1891. The new creation by Rem Koolhaas, co-founder of the architectural firm OMA and winner of the 2000 Pritzker Prize, is nested in the courtyard of this building constructed during the Industrial Revolution. This former warehouse in the Marais district, built for the needs of the nearby Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville department store, has been converted into a production workshop and an exhibition machine for Lafayette Anticipations – Fondation d'entreprise Galeries Lafayette.
From the initial discussions with OMA and its think tank AMO in 2012, to the final weeks of construction in autumn 2017, the book 9 Plâtre looks back at the many stages involved in creating a building that will serve as a tool for supporting, producing and presenting the artworks of its time. In an interview, Rem Koolhaas discusses the conceptual, artistic, social and political considerations that determined the architecture of his first building in Paris, while photographic works by Bas Princen take a keen look at the space's successive transformations. 9 Plâtre is a manifesto that sets out the principles of an art space open to the city and the general public. It marks the beginning of an art programme bringing together ideas and practices.

Bosch China estimates auto chip shortage to last through 2022
Editorial TeamOctober 31, 2021
Head of Bosch China, Chen Yudong said that a global chip shortage will continue to hurt Chinese automakers in 2022.
Why is it in focus?
The Chinese automakers are hit hard with the ongoing global chip shortage. The country's auto sales fell 19.6% year-on-year to 2.06 million vehicles in September. This number is the biggest monthly drop this year. This has led to several Chinese electric car makers, including Nio and Li Auto, slashing their quarterly production forecasts.
More Details On the Bosch China chip shortage
As a result of the chip shortage currently, Bosch China can only fulfill 50% of the market demand in China. This, however, is an improvement from July when it could only meet 20% of the demand from clients.
Chen Yudong estimated that the firm's supply in China will remain very low over the remaining three months of 2021. He further added that Bosch China's supply will still be 10% to 20% lower than the market demand by the end of next year. Even though the chip supply situation might improve over time.
The chip shortage has disrupted automakers' production since the second half of last year. Hence, Chen pledged that the company will boost domestic chip manufacturing to mitigate the impact.
Bosch is the world's largest auto parts supplier. The company supplies 70% of China's electronic brake control systems. Chinese automakers have been hit by the supply chain constraint. Li Auto recently cut its delivery forecast from up to 26,000 vehicles to 24,500 units for the third quarter. Nio made a similar move in September. It cut the upper end of its Q3 delivery outlook by 1,500 vehicles to 23,500 units.
Consulting firm AlixPartners estimated last month a loss of $210 billion in revenue in 2021 for the global auto industry due to the chip shortage, almost doubling its previous projection in May.

Cameo of a Strong Woman
Pam, her husband, and her 3 grandmothers on her wedding day
by Pam Hillman
A strong woman is a smart woman.
My maternal grandmother, Mamaw Evans, was a smart woman. Down here in Mississippi, people used to say, "She's a smart worker." That meant that she worked smarter, not harder. She planned the work and worked the plan. Mamaw Evans was that kind of woman. Mamaw and Papaw lived in the middle of forty acres and grew cotton, corn, and vegetables. Papaw was a truck farmer, and spent many summer days peddling vegetables. Mamaw liked to stay at home and sew and putter around the house while he was gone. But Mamaw's puttering wasn't the ordinary stay-at-home-mom-and-bake-cookies housewife kind. Papaw might come home to find the walls in the house had been moved. Kitchen needed to be bigger? No problem. Mamaw made it so. From all accounts, Mamaw moved every wall in their house at one time or another. Now that's a smart woman.
A strong woman is a caring woman.
My paternal grandmother, Granny Tune, was a caring woman. She had five children and a host of grandchildren. She was a short, dumpy woman and could come across a little grumpy sometimes. One of my cousins affectionately called her Granny-Grump-Stump. I wanted to call her that because it fit so perfectly, but I was too polite to ever actually utter the words. Granny had five children and three of them lived within walking distance of her rural country home. So that meant in her elder years, she had grandchildren and great-grandchildren parading in and out of her house from daylight to dark, especially during the summertime. No wonder she got a little grumpy on occasion. But she loved every child that came through her door, and her Christmas shopping started the day after Christmas when toys went on sale. By June, she'd proudly announce that she'd not only completed her shopping but her wrapping as well. Now, that's not only caring, that's smart!
While both my grandparents passed away several years ago, we're still blessed to have my husband's grandmother with us.
A strong woman is a Godly woman.
My husband's grandmother, known far and wide as Ms. Lorene or just Mamaw, is a Godly woman. She just turned 97 years young. She dropped out of school in the eleventh grade to get married, went back to school to get her GED at the age of 77, then went on to get her college degree. She was the oldest person in the state of Mississippi to be inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa Hall of Fame and was invited to the Phi Theta Kappa Convention in Washington, DC. With degree in hand, she spent the next ten or so years teaching GED Algebra at the local community college while sharing the gospel with her students. I'd say that makes her smart, caring, and Godly. Youcan read more about Mamaw Lorene at Calico Trails in a post honoring her 93birthday in December 2011.
Strong women have hidden strengths that might not always be apparent to passing acquaintances, but those of us who know them well can spot those strengths a mile away. And we strive to emulate them.
I'd love for you to share a cameo of a strong woman who's influenced you.
CBA Bestselling author Pam Hillman was born and raised on a dairy farm in Mississippi and spent her teenage years perched on the seat of a tractor raking hay. In those days, her daddy couldn't afford two cab tractors with air conditioning and a radio, so Pam drove the Allis Chalmers 110. Even when her daddy asked her if she wanted to bale hay, she told him she didn't mind raking. Raking hay doesn't take much thought so Pam spent her time working on her tan and making up stories in her head. Now, that's the kind of life every girl should dream of!

I love the stories about your Southern grandmothers. Mine were Yankee ladies whose influence lingers in my life. They also were strong and faith filled.
Pam Hillman December 16, 2015 at 10:17 AM
Amen, Rebecca! We were so blessed to have Godly grandmothers, weren't we? Being strong women and hard workers was a plus, but having a Christian influence on grandchildren was even better. :)
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

My Mom, Mildred, is a very strong lady. She is 96 and still doing her best although taken over by many frailties. She was in the middle of a family of 10 children; married a man who wanted to go to Bible School and become a foreign missionary; she went along and was a very strong support to him and raised 4 children overseas amidst all kinds of illness and danger. She loves God so much and is an encourager. sm wileygreen1(at)yahoo(dot)com
Pam Hillman December 17, 2015 at 9:08 AM
Sharon, now that's strong and brave... to go to a foreign country, have your babies and live in a whole different culture. I stand in awe of women who do that!
Vickie McDonough December 16, 2015 at 1:25 PM
You resemble the grandma with the cake. :) It's neat that you've gotten to enjoy your grandmothers for so long. My dad's mom was 79 when I was born. I remember her though because she lived to be 95. I never knew my mother's mom because she died when Mom was only 2. Enjoy those old gals while you still have them.
Both of my grandmothers (on my right in the picture) passed away in the late 80s/early 90s. My husband's grandmother is still living, but yes, it is wonderful to have her still with us, and I'm blessed to have had them all as long as I did.
Merry Christmas everyone! Blessings on this special day!
Anita Mae Draper December 17, 2015 at 1:16 PM
Thank you for posting this small, but strong, bit of family history. Posts like this hold a special place in the hearts of the readers as well as family members. Very nice.
Pam Hillman December 20, 2015 at 9:49 PM
Ah, thank you, Anita Mae. I'm thankful to have known all four of my grandparents. What a blessing. Merry Christmas, lady! :)
bonton December 20, 2015 at 6:39 PM
Loved this post, Pam - thank you!! You have/had some amazing grandmothers - mine were strong, hard-working, godly women, as well. Your post prompted numerous wonderful memories.
Isn't it wonderful to pull out old pictures and old memories and reminisce? Enjoy those memories!

According to local Italian newspapers the two cult Italian brands Americanino and El Charro, which were especially successful in the 1980s in the era of the Paninari, will be sold at an auction on 26th July 2013 as part of the liquidation of Meta Apparel spa.
The company of Arezzo, owner of the two brands, had asked to be admitted to the procedure of composition with creditors in September 2011. They had tried to rent part of the business, though the balance of the year 2011 closed with sales of €14 million, inferior to the €19.7 million of 2010, registering a loss of €22.7 million against the €90,000 gain of 2010.


Hi guys. As discussed in the other thread I have set up the most basic of starting points for guitarbloggers.co.uk Now I need recruits! Anything you want to blog about - you can join. It could be tuition, building, repairing, performance, experiences on the road, your guitar collection, beginners or advanced - anything about you and your guitar experiences.Your blogs will be categorised and tagged in a way that anyone looking for information in that area (or may just be fascinated by your personal story) can find it and learn more about you or the topic you are talking about. If you open a Facebook account you can actually log straight into this forum, the guitarads site AND guitarbloggers without using new login details and passwords. You can also leave comments on other blogs. I will keep my eye on new registrations and posts - and try and begin making it all look nice! Please try and create at least ONE image per post so I can use that image for featuring on the cover page. Good luck!
I registered but have not received my password. Don't think I mistyped my e-mail.
I've had a go. Try as I may I couldn't get the text to look nice - would have liked to be able to put line breaks between the paragraphs to stop it looking like one big mass of text.
Richard has moved one of my blogs into the new site but unfortunately it doesn't work as it should. It was only an index to the blog "parts" and depended on the "link" function to work. As it stands now it is only a taster of what can be done.
How can we access the original blogs?
This is the one I copied..
Great. The links are working. Thanks.

In setting up a sync connection, you first choose the apps that contain the contacts data you need synced. We have provided a handy search bar to quickly get to the apps you're looking for. After you select the first app, you immediately proceed to select the second app. We will connect to these apps in a second step.
Please reach out to us if you're not able to set up the combination you need - we might be able to help.
In order to use PieSync, you need to have registered accounts with the apps you selected. At this point, you'll need to connect PieSync to these apps so we can fetch the contacts data configuration. You do this for both apps. While the screenshots below are some examples, the instructions for your app are listed separately on this page. If it is the first time using PieSync, you will need to authorize both apps, one after the other.
If you have previously set up a connection with any of these apps, you can choose to re-purpose that authorization. Of course, you can also choose to login to your apps with a separate account too.
Once you authorized 2 apps, you tell PieSync how we should keep your contacts data in sync. By default, PieSync proposes a two-way sync with a drop-down to allow for one-way syncs (do I need one-way or two-way?).
A two-way sync starts off with 2 rules. Each rule fulfills the conditions of each side of the sync. PieSync looks at all the data stored on each side, so you can define exactly what data needs to move from one side to the other.
In this example, rule 1 dictates that for every contact that PieSync finds in Google Contacts, PieSync will update or create one in ActiveCampaign in case it didn't exist already there. Rule 2 completes this 2 way sync: for each contact that exists in ActiveCampaign, a counterpart will be updated or created in Google Contacts. For instance, if you don't need all of your ActiveCampaign contacts into Google Contacts, simply remove this rule!
If you need a simple all-to-all sync, this is all you need to set up (ie. don't change anything to the default setup). Starter plans are limited to two of these rules, but the Pro plan and onward allow for more. Why would you need more than 2 rules? Read on!
in connections that include Google Contacts, we suggest you ADDITIONALLY SYNC TO THE GOOGLE CONTACTS GROUP 'MY CONTACTS', especially useful for iPhone users, as your iPhone contacts get synced to 'my contacts' in Google by default.
Options available under a Google-Mailchimp connection. The options under "connection settings" are app-dependent. If you do not see a particular option, the app does not support it unfortunately.
PieSync's DEFAULT FIELD MAPPING shows you those default fields we will always keep in sync and details how we mapped them between the two apps you have connected. You cannot change these fields.
In the CUSTOMIZABLE FIELD MAPPING, you'll be able to map fields stored in your apps that we didn't find logical counterparts for. This includes default fields as well as custom fields. The customizable field mapping is set up and shown in the white part below the default field mapping in the configuration. You can add an unlimited amount of mappings and remove, enable/disable them anytime.
Custom Mappings are available from the Pro Plan onward. More information on why you should upgrade to a Pro Plan HERE.
Make sure no other integrations are running next to PieSync for the accounts you have connected in PieSync. Other integrations will have access to your data and have the ability to manipulate as well. For this reason, we kindly ask you to use PieSync and nothing else to keep your data in sync. Other integrations running in parallel with PieSync are a no-go!

ANSER Annual Conference: Reproductive Health for all
The Academic Network Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights Policy (ANSER) invites you to its annual conference:
'Reproductive Health for all:
Accelerating the ICPD Agenda through knowledge transfer between academics and policy makers'
2019 marks the 25th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD, Cairo 1994), where 179 governments adopted a Programme of Action recognising that reproductive health and rights, as well as women's empowerment and gender equality, are cornerstones of population and development programmes. Significant results have been achieved since, but not everyone has benefited equally from this progress. From 12-14 November 2019, ICPD celebrates its birthday during the Nairobi Summit. The conference hopes to mobilize political will and financial commitments to finally and fully implement the ICPD Programme of Action, focusing on: achieving zero unmet need for family planning information and services, zero preventable maternal deaths, and zero sexual and gender-based violence and harmful practices against women and girls.
During this two days ANSER conference we will take a closer look at all the commitments made by governments, civil society and donors at the Nairobi Summit and discuss how implementation can be accelerated. What specific role can academics have in using evidence to overcome policy and implementation challenges of the ICPD agenda? How can policy makers and researchers work more closely together to accelerate progress and address the barriers faced? What priorities should we as broader SRHR stakeholders focus on in the coming years to achieve reproductive health and rights for all?
Monday 25 November, 2019: ANSER and UNFPA EECARO co-organise 'Accelerating the ICPD Agenda in the EECA region'
How to accelerate the actions and address the challenges faced in Eastern European and Central Asian countries around ensuring reproductive health and rights for all? What role can international networks as the Academic Network of Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy (ANSER) or multilateral organisations like UNFPA play to support implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action in country? What are the priorities to focus on in the coming years and what could be done to accelerate the implementation of the ICPD agenda?
The full programme can be found here.
To register for the event, please click here.
Tuesday 26 November, 2019: 'Building an evidence for the outcomes of the ICPD+25 Agenda'
Together with a wide range of stakeholders, we will look into the role academics can play to help reenergizing the global commitments made and accelerate progress. Through roundtables and interactive sessions, we will identify the evidence and knowledge translation needed in order to make a change. How can the different actors work more closely together and build on each other's expertise to reach reproductive health and rights for all women, everywhere?
The full programme of the day and practical information can be found here.
If you have any further questions, please reach out to us at Anser@Ugent.be.
For more information on ANSER, please visit www.ugent.be/anser/en.
Looking forward to see you all in Ghent!

Emilie Peeters, Policy Officer ANSER & ICRH


The Nov. 17 edition of The Daily News contained an article on Page B9 headlined, �Some states say students should learn cursive,� in-which AP writer Julie Carr Smyth presented the pros and cons for reintroducing it into the school system.
In the article, Linden Bateman, a 72-year-old state representative from Idaho, is quoted as saying he believes �cursive conveys intelligence and grace, engages creativity and builds brain cells;� I wonder why hasn�t he insisted calligraphy � beautiful or elegant handwriting � be taught instead. This skill would surely enhance students creatively and encourage deeper thinking during the writing process.
Why stop there? Reintroduce Pittman-Gregg shorthand, which surely will make for exceptional, brighter, secretaries. Perhaps we could bring back maps that were so freely distributed by gas stations, for the fear GPS will produce a lost generation of travelers.
Some have voiced concerns future generations will lose their ability to read historical documents, etc., as cursive will become unreadable. This statement doesn�t hold true. There are ancient written languages � e.g. Egyptian hieroglyphics � for which scholars have cracked the code, enabling readers to enjoy the history of an ancient culture.
Change is hard and sometimes difficult to accept; but the future is in constant flux and one must adapt or be left behind. Do not handicap the future with one�s desire for a fondly remembered past.


We pride ourselves in distributing the highest quality fresh Sushi grade fish & ingredients to restaurants & grocery. We carry fresh, frozen & dry goods to meet all of your needs. We currently distribute from our locations in Atlanta & Chicago.

← TAPinto "disappears" Hunterdon's investigative journalist
School board forced to hand over 50 minutes of budget meeting recording it erased →
Posted on February 9, 2020 by Curtis Leeds

RARITAN TWP., NJ – Officials here on Friday agreed to comply with a court order to release details regarding DUI charges police filed against Freeholder John Lanza.
The consent letter to Superior Court Judge Yolanda Ciccone ends the township's role in concealing what happened in August when police found Lanza slumped over the steering wheel of his black Ford Explorer, although some questions remain.
The cover-up
Initially, police didn't release any information about charges related to Lanza's Aug. 5 incident, which included driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and reckless driving. But acting on tips, reporter Michele Blood filed an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request with the township for the facts. When the township withheld many of the details — and while what was released dribbled out –- a lawsuit was filed to get the documents.
Editor's note: TAPinto correspondent Michele Blood and long-time Hunterdon journalist Curtis Leeds began this probe last year when he was editor of TAPinto Flemington, eventually filing suit to obtain public records that Raritan Township refused to produce. Leeds then left TAPinto and planned to publish his follow-up on althunterdon.com, a new local news website he created. But TAPinto issued Leeds a cease-and-desist order, as explained here. Because Raritan Township, Freeholder John Lanza and TAPinto have all sought to stymie Leeds' reporting, ExMayor.com is providing him a platform so that the public can be informed.
Until last week, the township vigorously opposed release of the records. Raritan Township attorney Edward Purcell claimed Lanza had a "reasonable expectation of privacy" and that the suit sought "information relating to medical, psychiatric or psychological history, diagnosis, treatment or evaluation" which should be shielded from disclosure under the law.
Purcell also said that the township's "interest in confidentiality" outweighed any interest in disclosure, that the suit was "frivolous" and release of the records was "barred by public policy."
Later, Flemington attorney Carl Taylor filed with the court on Lanza's behalf, also seeking to suppress release of the records. When management at TAPinto Flemington changed last month, Taylor sought to use that to keep the records secret.
But after hearing oral arguments in the OPRA suit and reviewing the records and multiple motions, Ciccone ordered the unredacted release of almost all of the documents related to the charges against Lanza.
The township "violated OPRA and the common law right of access" by not supplying the records, the judge wrote on Feb. 5. She ordered that the material be released within seven days.

In multiple motions, Taylor sought to have the court delay release of the records pending Lanza's appeal. But the court posted the newly-released documents to its website, prompting TAPinto editor Audrey Blumberg to follow-up on the story the next day, including revealing Lanza's blood alcohol level.
"I was surprised and disappointed not only by the decision, but more so by the court disseminating the records immediately," said Taylor in an interview Friday, "foreclosing our rightful ability to seek a stay and appeal." Taylor added that the court knew of his intent to appeal, which he mentioned during oral argument in court and in a letter last month.
Because of Lanza's public office and local prominence, the DUI case was moved to Sparta Municipal Court in Sussex County where it was heard by Judge Paris P. Eliades. NJ.com reported that Lanza pleaded guilty on Feb. 3 to the reckless driving charge, and that the judge entered a "not guilty verdict at the state's request" on the DUI charge.
The newly released documents show that what Lanza has publicly acknowledged as "a potentially life-threatening situation" was a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .34 percent, more than four times the .08 percent legal limit.
Reporting on a different story and quoting a researcher at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, businessinsider.com characterized that level of intoxication as "dancing on the edge of death."
Taylor called Lanza's BAC reading "faulty and disputed."
The court records show that when police arrived Lanza "was drooling and his head was resting against the steering wheel." Patrol Officer Connor Gallagher reported, "I could not tell if he was breathing and I became greatly concerned for his well-being," leading police to force their way into the SUV by breaking the passenger window, to which Lanza did not initially react.
After getting Lanza out of the vehicle, Gallagher noted that while he did not smell of alcohol and did not have blood-shot eyes, Lanza "was unable to walk or maintain balance on his own."
Lanza's blood alcohol level registered .34 percent, according to the police records, a reading Taylor calls "faulty and disputed."
Lanza was taken to Hunterdon Medical Center, where police said, "Though Lanza said few words, he slurred the ones he used." When asked to consent to blood and urine testing, Lanza replied with a firm, "No."
The cover-up continues
The township also redacted police dashcam videos, which may provide clues to another aspect of the case, and that's the $12,500 in cash that police found in Lanza's SUV. Through his attorney, Lanza has previously said that police returned the cash to him, which he used to pay a contractor.
Those videos are also subject to Ciccone's order that records be released and while Raritan Township is willing to provide them, it said it would wait until Taylor's most recent motion is decided, unless otherwise directed.
Taylor filed for an "emergent motion" with the Appellate Court to block Ciccone's order to release the videos, which was denied on procedural grounds and sent back to Ciccone. She's expected to hear the motion on Feb. 18.
The OPRA suit was filed on behalf of TAPinto Flemington by CJ Griffin of the Hackensack-based law firm Pashman Stein. Oral arguments were made before Ciccone by Michael Zoller of the firm.

Experts hope to eliminate the debris before it becomes too risky to launch new satellites.
As some scientists try to clean up the world's oceans and remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, others are tackling the problem of pollution in space. Defunct satellites, spent rocket parts and thousands of other pieces of human-made debris have accumulated in orbit around Earth in recent decades — and the problem is getting worse.
Now a consortium of universities and aerospace companies has begun testing a suite of technologies that could address the growing problem of space junk. On Sept. 16, scientists with the consortium successfully tested a net designed to snag orbiting debris and drag it down into Earth's atmosphere, where it would burn up harmlessly.
The consortium's refrigerator-sized RemoveDebris satellite deployed the spring-loaded net and captured a tiny cubesat that had been released for the experiment. Footage of the test shows the web-like net shooting out and trapping the mock space debris.
Guglielmo Aglietti, director of the Surrey Space Centre in England, said he was "very happy" with the test, adding that the net and the cubesat are expected to burn up in the atmosphere within a couple of months. The center leads the consortium, which also includes Airbus, ArianeGroup and other partners in Europe and South Africa.
In last week's test, the RemoveDebris satellite released the net as it was deployed. But in a real space debris-grabbing mission, Aglietti said, the net would remain tethered to a "mothership" satellite, which would then reel it in and de-orbit it via some mechanism yet to be determined.
In February, Aglietti and his colleagues will use the satellite to test another debris-removal idea: a tethered harpoon that could latch onto space junk and remove it from orbit.
The RemoveDebris mission is focused on eliminating old satellites and other large debris — objects about the size of a bus and weighing a few tons — because they pose the biggest threat to the International Space Station and satellites in low-Earth orbit.
The U.S. Department of Defense tracks more than 500,000 pieces of space junk in orbit around Earth, including about 20,000 objects larger than a softball. As rocket launches continue and more debris is created, experts worry that we could reach a point where it's too risky to launch new satellites.
Crassidis called the recent test "fabulous," but added that the RemoveDebris scientists must eventually show they can control debris after it's been captured without destabilizing the RemoveDebris satellite itself.
Aglietti said even if the technology works, the bigger challenge will be navigating the politics and finding the money to mount clean-up initiatives. The RemoveDebris satellite cost $15 million, he said, but a real mission designed to remove space junk would likely cost significantly more.


Mgarr United commence their league with a convincing win.Rebecca D'Agostino and Nikki Buttigieg's goal spearheaded Mgarr United towards victory on their opening fixture of the BOV Women's 1st Division after seeing off Kirkop United by two goals to nil.
It was the night of debuts as players from both sides were wearing their team's strips for the very first time. While youngster Demi Gauci Maistre was making her debut for Kirkop United after she came through all youth ranks of the nursery, Mgarr United were boosted with the debuts of Amber Grech and Claudette Xuereb, both boasting an important career until now for both club and country.
The Greens started the match superior and were enjoying a good share of ball possession until their opponents started to gain metres on the pitch but their efforts took a blow when Mgarr United opened the score on the 15th minute through Rebecca D'Agostino. Debutant Amber Grech took charge of a dangerous set piece and with a precise delivery on D'Agostino's head, the latter netted easily to put her team in front. Kirkop reacted with huge personality in the aim of equalizing the match but after missing a couple of open chances in front of Mgarr's goalkeepers, Rachel Borg, Mgarr United doubled the score from a counter-attack. The other debutant Claudette Xuereb crossed from the flank and with her goal intuition Nikki Buttigieg netted to settle the score at 0-2.
The next 45 minutes saw Kirkop United bossing the game but their efforts went all in vain, merit to Mgarr United's cautions defensive line. With the result ending 0-2 for Mgarr United, they have secure their first 3 points together with Birkirkara and Hibernians who all took maximum points from their opening encounters.
Under the new guidance of Shawn Meilak, Pembroke Athleta produced a very positive display but it was the other new coach, Jean Pierre Portanier Mifsud, who prevailed over him with Birkirkara getting their first 3 points of the season.
Pembroke Athleta started the match very strongly with a couple of occasions through Leanne Micallef but her efforts were wasted. Birkirkara started to impose their game as the time went by and were dangerous especially from set piece. On the 39th minute, it was Gabriella Zahra who headed the ball but her effort was cleared off the line but Pembroke could not do avoid the goal a couple of minutes later when Raina Giusti availed from a confusion in the box.
In the second half, both teams were cautious and the first action arrived from Pembroke Athleta through Leanne Micallef but Birkirkara's defense was precise to clear in time. The Stripes tried to double the score but the post denied both Parnis and Campbell with the result ending at 1-0 for Birkirkara.
Champions Hibernians started their title's defense with a 3-1 win over last year's K/O runner up Raiders (Luxol). In a match which lacked excitement and offensive actions, the goals from Ylenia Carabott nd Ruth Steer Chetham were the main point of the encounter and which sealed the win for the Paolites. However, Raiders had their own occasions and the result does not reflect their performances as they were superior in ball possession in numerous occasions but they lacked precision in their finishing which eventually cost them the points.
Gozo FC marked their return at senior level with a jubilant win over Tarxien Rainbows by 6-1.
It was the Rainbows though who shed the first blood with the opening goal after 16 minutes through Roxanne Busutill whom with a low shot she beat the goalkeeper. Chantelle Muscat almost doubled the score but her effort went inches wide. The Gozitans equalised the match through an unfortunate own goal by Tarxien's goalkeeper Dorianne Grech. They turned the result to their favour on the 36th minute through a stupendous free kick from Maria Farrugia. Farrugia made it 3-1 few minutes after a couple of minutes after.
The next 45 minutes were calmer with Tarxien never really showing any intentions of being danger. Gozo extends their lead to 4-1 in the 80th minute through Joselene Gafa. Maria Farrugia sealed her personal hat trick by scoring the 5th goal while an own goal by Roxanne Busutill concluded the match in a trashing 6-1 win.
Mosta and Swieqi ended their second match of the season in a stalemate draw despite it was a very entertaining match. In the first half, both teams created a couple of efforts but no one could find the net, despite Swieqi being a bit more aggressive.
However, Swieqi were superior in the second half as they bossed the game throughout the 45 minutes but they could not penetrate Mosta's young defensive line.
Kirkop B had a hard time in their second match of the season as they were outclassed by Hamrun Spartans with the latter scoring seven goals without a reply.
Hamrun Spartans secured the win by scoring three goals in the first half through Janice Kokavessis, Amanda Atkins and Christina Ortiz leaving no time to Kirkop to react.
In the second half, the Spartans increased their tempo and netted four times to end the score at 0-7 for last year's Section B champions. A brace from Raissa Grixti and Amanda Atkins followed by a sole goal from Leona Gafa sealed the win for the Spartans.

Q: TS function variable args type issue I have this interface declared:
interface XhrCaller {
    (...args: (string|unknown)[]): Promise<Record<string, unknown>>
}

When I go ahead to define a get fn like
const getCall : XhrCaller = (pathParam: string) => new Promise((resolve, reject) ...
I get an error that says

Type '(pathParam: string) => Promise<Record<string, unknown>' is not assignable to type 'XhrCaller'

Clearly, there is an issue with the way I have declared the interface.
Please help.

A: Since you have already declare type for XhrCaller, you don't have to annotate pathParam TypeScript already know its type is string|unknown
Link to TS Playground:
interface XhrCaller {
    (...args: (string | unknown)[]): Promise<Record<string, unknown>>
}

const getCall : XhrCaller = (pathParam) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    resolve({ test: 'test' });
});

getCall('abc'); // ok
getCall(123); // ok

Beware that you used unknown and it behaves like any so you lost all type checking when use getCall
getCall('abc'); // ok
getCall(123); // ok

Also, you did declare union type, but that used to check for type when you apply a value like getCall(123) not when you declare.
Your example basically declare another type (pathParam: string) => Promise<unknown> which is not compatible with XhrCaller
const getCall : XhrCaller = (pathParam: string) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    resolve({ test: 'test' });
});

Arizona's Michael Meyer won the 400 IM one night after winning the 200 IM, and he also put up the third fastest time in the NCAA in the process. Meyer went 3:41.73 to blow away the field, leading by nearly 3 seconds before the race was even half over.
Kevin Cordes broke the American and U.S. Open Records in the 100 yard breaststroke on Friday night at the 2013, swimming a 50.70 to better the 50.74 he went at the 2013 NCAA Championships. His time was the fastest 100 yard breaststroke in history.
In prelims of the men's 100 fly, that famous Arizona mid-season taper reared its head, and senior Giles Smith took the top seed in the men's 100 fly in 44.75. That time would've placed him behind only the now-graduated Tom Shields at NCAA's last season, in a race where Smith was 6th.

These authorities give free legal aid to a person if he/she is not capable of bearing the expenditure. This includes appointing a lawyer in case the person is a defendant in a case. These authorities periodically organize 'lok-adalats' (Hindi for People's Court) for out-of-the-court settlement of the cases (under provision of the law). There are two types of lok adalats i.e Permanent Lok Adalat (public utility services), and non permanent lok adalat (simply known as Lok Adalat).

How To Overcome the Evil of the Equality Act
15 Mar, 2021 How To Overcome the Evil of the Equality Act
Posted at 4:58 am in family, politics, religion	by	CCM Team 0 Comments
by Lisa Lotito
The Equality Act.
What are we supposed to do about it?
On February 25th, The House of Representatives approved the Equality Act. The Equality Act prohibits discrimination due to gender identity or sexual orientation. All 221 Democrats and three Republicans (John Katko and Tom Reed of New York, and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania) supported its passage. The remaining 208 Republicans oppose the legislation.
I urge you to read this bill! It offers protections against discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Sounds great, right? While discrimination in any form is wrong, this bill goes beyond the realm of the personal equality rights.
The Equality Act redefines what it means to be male and female.
The bill defines and includes sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity among the prohibited categories of discrimination or segregation based on (1) an association with another person who is a member of such a protected class; or (2) a perception or belief, even if inaccurate, that an individual is a member of such a protected class.
The Equality Act is an evil attack on religious freedom.
The bill prohibits the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) from providing a claim against a discrimination charge. It explicitly sets aside a provision of RFRA that specifically protects the right of religious groups to conduct their activities and manage their affairs according to their beliefs.
In its 500 pages, the bill also redefines "public accommodation" in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It states "any establishment" that provides a service, including churches, homeless shelters operated by religious groups, adoption agencies, and educational institutions associated with faith-based denominations and associations, must offer protection.
Imagine what this scenario would mean for YOUR child; at YOUR school.
Under this piece of legislation, no entity would be able to deny the rights of someone identifying as a person of the opposite sex. Imagine, boys, identifying as girls, given access to locker rooms, bathrooms, dormitories. Girls, claiming to be boys, would be able to play male-dominated sports. Then, realize religious or non-profit schools violating this law would risk losing tax-exempt status and accreditation. Not to mention the disadvantages to both sexes when it comes to scholarships, competitions, and more.
We need to realize the Evil of the Equality Act.
If this bill passes the Senate, it will have a detrimental impact on society. Why? It will force Americans to agree with a government-imposed ideology on sexuality. The freedom to live as we believe will no longer exist.
Does our faith say anything about equality?
The New Testament gives us the answer. The Greek word for equality, proportionality, or fairness is isotēs. This word is mentioned In 2 Corinthians 8:13–14 when Paul urges the church in Corinth to give generously to the Jerusalem church, "that there might be equality." And in Colossians 4:1, he tells masters to grant their slaves "what is right and fair."
Most of the famous "equality" passages use quite a different language. Galatians 3:28 doesn't say that there is no Jew and Gentile, slave and free, male and female because we are all equal, but because we "are all one in Christ Jesus." Colossians 3:11 doesn't talk about equality between barbarians and Scythians, but rather asserts that "Christ is all, and is in all." Ephesians 3:6 doesn't say that Gentiles are now equal with Jews, but rather that we are now "heirs together."
If we truly are "all one in Christ Jesus", we must affirm God created a man and woman in HIS own image. A man AS a man. A woman AS a woman.
As human beings we are equal, but not because of our gender, sexual orientation, or color. We are equal despite these differences. God created each one of us. As Christians, we must commit to remaining "heirs together".
Act now! Call or write your state representatives with outrage. Tell them to oppose The Equality Act.
Overcome the evil!
Find Your Legislators.
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye of sinfulness thy glory may not see,
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee
perfect in pow'r, in love, and purity.

Evans Professor of Law, Psychology, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. She is also a MacArthur Fellow. The Center Cannot Hold tells the story of the onset of her schizophrenia.
In The Atlantic, essayist Leslie Jamison reflects on the words of Virginia Woolf that shaped her view of bodies in literature. Jamison recalls struggling to represent the physical aftermath of surgery, fearing that "writing about bodily experience [is] somehow… the ultimate solipsism," and ultimately finding solace in Woolf's essay "On Being Ill." Jamison connects Woolf's essay, Elaine Scarry's theory on pain and speech, and the works of Whitman and Faulkner to memories of her own discomfort in waiting rooms and creative writing classes. Ultimately, she concludes that "the surface of the body isn't poverty; it isn't lack," and moreover, it can be a site of deep connection between authors and readers.
