Thank you for posting the video where participants were asked why they were attending the Beck event. I was struck how every participant referenced American exceptionalism in their answer. Even when criticizing Obama (much milder than I expected, btw), they mostly cited how he doesn't appreciate America's unique and exceptional standing in human history. Considering the economy, Katrina, the inability to dispatch, not one but two wars, their fear is understandable. Attributing it all to Obama and his election makes perfect sense, because he too is different and represents anything but the past. Call it ironic or a contradiction, but one of the exceptional parts of America (not the same thing as exceptionalism) is that considering our history, we elected an Obama so soon.

Q: Bootstrap 3 checkbox doesn't align with form label

     ফিচার

               <input type="checkbox" value="1" id="property_furnished" name="feature">আসবাবপত্রে সজ্জিত

               <input type="checkbox" value="2" id="property_sublet" name="feature">সাবলেট

               <input type="checkbox" value="3" id="property_mess" name="feature">মেস

The above code gives me following output. But I want everything to be displayed as inline. How can I do this?

A: A more bootstrap focused approach would to be to restructure your code like such:
<form class="form-inline">

       ফিচার

      আসবাবপত্রে সজ্জিত
      <input value="1" id="property_furnished" name="feature" type="checkbox">

      সাবলেট
      <input value="2" id="property_sublet" name="feature" type="checkbox">

      মেস
      <input value="3" id="property_mess" name="feature" type="checkbox">

</form>

One of the main issues in your code is that your first label is OUTSIDE of your div class that sets the column position. So you aren't including it in the col-md-offset-4 that you specify.
Here's a bootply http://www.bootply.com/ekh1Cpmeht
You will most likely want to adjust the spacing between the property_feature label and the property_furnished .

A: Use  display: inline-block; because Div will break down to new line the checkbox.
.col-md-8.col-sm-8.col-md-offset-4 {
    display: inline-block;
}

.col-md-4.col-sm-4.control-label {
    display: inline-block;
}

Check Fiddle.

TICKETS for the eagerly awaited return of The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series went on sale on Wednesday (Jul 13).
After a hiatus of three years, the high diving sport is set to return to the natural amphitheatre of the Blue Lagoon in Abereiddy.
The event sees divers pushing their bodies to the limits, from platforms suspended at 27 metres for men and 20 metres for women.
"Anyone who saw the event the last time it was held in Pembrokeshire will know what a spectacular show it is, and I've no doubt demand for tickets will be as high as ever," said Councillor Rob Lewis, Cabinet Member for Transportation and Major Events.
"The Blue Lagoon is tailor – made for the event as it provides a location to rival any in the World Series and a viewing platform for spectators that is second to none.
"I'm thrilled they have decided to return," he added.
The world famous two-day event starts on Saturday, September 11, and tickets will be sold online and at five locations throughout the county.
Organisers are expecting the tickets, which ar e sold on a first come first served basis, to sell out quickly.
General admission tickets and Watercraft tickets will also be sold online via www.redbullcliffdiving. com/wales .
Due to the expected high demand, tickets will be limited to a maximum of six per transaction.
LLANELLI Wanderers earned their seventh win of the season on Saturday (Apr 6) as they comfortably beat Crymych 34-7.
Rhydian Morgan put the home side ahead with an unconverted try early on and he then scored a penalty to give the home side an 8-0 lead.
Crymych were then guilty of a number of offences and the referee awarded the Wanderers a penalty try. The visitors also had a player sent off which meant they would be a man light for the rest of the game.
That gave Llanelli a 15-0 lead at the break and it didn't take long for the home side to increased their lead in the second half.
Lewis Jones crossed for the try but the conversion was missed.
Crymych did bring themselves back into the game as Laurence Headlam went over and Gareth Davies added the extra two points.
Rhydian Morgan then crossed for his second try of the game to give his side a bonus point and he then added the extras to take the score to 27-7.
Lloyd Thomas went over for the final try of the game and Morgan again added the extras for a personal haul of 17 points from the game.
That made it 34-7 to the Wanderers and they saw the game out to close the gap on their opponents.
On Saturday (Apr 13), the Wanderers are away as they travel to Whitland while Crymych host Gowerton.
PONTYBEREM kept up their push for promotion as they edged to a 15-13 win away at Carmarthen Athletic on Saturday (Apr 6).
The Bont knew they could not afford to slip up in this game as they continue to chase second placed Pembroke.
The Athletic fielded a different XV to the side they played at the Park earlier in the season and they put on an impressive display.
They were able to keep the Bont at bay as Bradley Roderick scored two penalties to give them a 6-0 lead.
The visitors though began to claw their way back into the game and Rhodri Lewis crossed in the corner for an unconverted try, leaving the score a 6-5 at half time.
Pontyberem upped their game in the second half and a tremendous burst by prop James Prosser saw him go over under the posts having begun his run on the 22-metre line. Mike Sauro then added the extras for a 6-12 lead.
The visitors still had to be alert though as the Athletic threatened to get back into it but Sauro then added a penalty to make it 6-15 to the Bont.
Roderick then intercepted the ball on his own 10-yard line before going on to score and adding the conversion to make it 13-15.
That set up a nervy final six minutes but the Bont held on to keep their promotion hopes alive.
The win means that the Bont are now three points behind second placed Pembroke who they play this weekend (Apr 13).
It is one of the biggest games for both sides and a big crowd is expected at the Park.
GEMMA SOMERS from Nantgaredig has won the Petplan Equine Novice Silver Championship at the Petplan Equine Area Festival Championships on Hallucination. The combination have spent the winter preparing for the Petplan Equine Area Festival Championships held at Hartpury College, Gloucestershire from April 11-15.
Hallucination is a British bred 17.3hh, six-year-old mare owned by William Shufflebottom and ridden by Gemma.
The talented partnership clearly impressed the judges holding the lead throughout the 32-strong class despite being the first combination to trot down the centre line achieving an impressive score of 73.06%.
The Petplan Equine Area Festivals, now in their 19th year, provide riders across the levels from Preliminary to Intermediate II with the chance to experience the thrill of competing in top competition style conditions. 27 Area Festivals took place all around the country in 2017 with over 4,200 horse and rider combinations taking part.
A further eight Area Festival Finals were then contested to gain qualification for the Championships at Hartpury.
British Dressage's Chief Executive Jason Brautigam said: "I am always very impressed with the dedication and commitment shown by competitors participating in the Petplan Equine Area Festivals series. The growth in the number of combinations going down the centre line continues to surpass all our expectations.

The Anti-Federalist Papers: Centinel IV
On this day in 1787, an author writing under the pseudonym "Centinel" writes his fourth contribution to the anti-Federalist Papers. These papers argued against the new Constitution, then being considered for ratification by the states.
An underlying assumption of the pro-Constitution movement was that the then-existing Articles of Confederation (effectively America's first constitution) were "inadequate to the objects of the union."
Centinel is not so sure about that! He warns his readers not to confuse "temporary and extraordinary difficulties" with "defects in the system itself."
He starts with the issue of taxes. Money was hard to raise during the American Revolution, of course. But, given the state of commerce during the war, Centinel is mostly amazed that any taxes were collected at all! "[T]he lamp of sacred liberty must indeed have burned with unsullied lustre, . . . when the people not only submitted to the grievous impositions but cheerfully exerted themselves to comply with the calls of their country," he observed. Unfortunately, too much money was needed to support the war, and "[their abilities] were not equal to furnish the necessary sums."
In short? The colonists tried, but just couldn't get it done! But their failure had nothing to do with any "defect in the confederation." It had to do with the "peculiar circumstances of the times."
Centinel thinks time and improved commerce will mend the situation. Indeed, couldn't Americans accomplish their purpose by a simple "transfer to Congress of the power of imposing imposts on commerce and the unlimited regulation of trade"? Anyway, who cares if the country's commerce is doing well if we get something terrible in return? Centinel fears an "arbitrary and unchecked government, who may levy at pleasure the most oppressive taxes; who may destroy every principle of freedom; who may even destroy the privilege of complaining."
Centinel's language gets very rough about the Constitution and those who have proposed it. "The evil genius of darkness presided at its birth," he states. And "every deceptive art has been and is practising to have this spurious brat received as the genuine offspring of heaven-born liberty."
How can Americans give away their freedom so quickly? He rants about the deception being wrought upon America for several paragraphs: "After so recent a triumph over British despots, after such torrents of blood and treasure have been spent, after involving ourselves in the distresses of an arduous war, and incurring such a debt, for the express purpose of asserting the rights of humanity, it is truly astonishing that a set of men among ourselves, should have had the effrontery to attempt the destruction of our liberties."
The Constitution as a "spurious brat"? Ouch! I guess Centinel doesn't mince words.

2 by lot for them to inherit, as ADONAI ordered through Moshe, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
3 Moshe had already given the inheritances to the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Yarden; to the L'vi'im he gave no inheritance among them.
4 The descendants of Yosef constituted two tribes, M'nasheh and Efrayim; and they gave no portion of the land to the L'vi'im except cities to live in, with the open land surrounding them for their livestock and crops.
5 As ADONAI had ordered Moshe, so the people of Isra'el did - they divided the land.
6 The descendants of Y'hudah approached Y'hoshua in Gilgal, and Kalev the son of Y'funeh the K'nizi said to him, "You know what ADONAI told Moshe the man of God about me and you in Kadesh-Barnea.
7 I was forty years old when Moshe the servant of ADONAI sent me from Kadesh-Barnea to reconnoiter the land, and I brought back to him an honest report.
8 My brothers who went up with me discouraged the people, but I followed ADONAI my God completely.
11 but I am as strong today as on the day Moshe sent me - I'm as strong now as I was then, whether for war or simply for going here and there.
12 Therefore, give me this hill, the one ADONAI spoke about on that day; for on that day you heard how the 'Anakim were there with great, fortified cities; perhaps ADONAI will be with me, and I will drive them away, as ADONAI said."
13 Y'hoshua blessed him and gave Hevron to Kalev the son of Y'funeh as his inheritance.
14 So Hevron became the inheritance of Kalev the son of Y'funeh the K'nizi, as it is to this day; because he followed ADONAI the God of Isra'el completely.
15 (Hevron was formerly called Kiryat-Arba; this Arba was the greatest man among the 'Anakim.) Then the land had rest from war.

Notre Dame and Iowa State set to play each other for first time
By Mark Skol Jr. |
Posted: Fri 6:51 PM, Dec 27, 2019
ORLANDO (WNDU) - In the Power 5 conferences, there are 64 schools. Notre Dame has played all 64 except eight.
On Saturday, they cut that list down to seven when they play Iowa State for the first time.
The Cyclones will be the 148th different opponent the Fighting Irish have ever played. It will also be the third ballgame this year in which Notre Dame plays a first-time opponent after the Irish played both New Mexico and Bowling Green.
The Domers have done quite well against first-time opponents. In 131 years of Fighting Irish football, Notre Dame is 122-22-3 against first-time opponents..
Even with that track record, Brian Kelly knows going against Iowa State for the first time certainly will not be easy.
"Iowa State is not necessarily on the list of teams that you want to play for the first time," Kelly said. "Look, as an independent, you're going to go through the schedule and you're going to play the teams across the country and in every conference. Next year, it'll be even more of that as we continue to do that. But I think that's the great thing of being an independent: You get an opportunity to play an Iowa State and get a chance to meet Matt and, you know, obviously, a great young coach that is doing incredible things. So, this is kind of the attractiveness, if you will, of being an independent football team where you get a chance to play these kinds of games."
In Notre Dame's home opener in 2020, the Irish will cross another name off of that list when they play Arkansas for the first time. But right now, all of their focus is on the Camping World Bowl and Iowa State.
Kickoff is at noon Saturday on ABC.

Hamburg's stunning Elbphilharmonie, a $850 million symphony hall and architectural wonder, offers 1,300 events annually.
As one of the largest and most famous clubs in Hamburg's Red Light District, Grosse Fahrenheit 36 has welcomed everyone from Kylie Minogue to David Bowie. Its smallest stage, the Kaiserkeller, has some serious bragging rights as well — ever heard of a pop group from England called The Beatles? No big deal or anything, but the Fab Four played here, too.
Beyond those magical years in the early 1960s, when The Beatles cut their teeth in Hamburg's clubs, the city had already been establishing itself as a tastemaker on the world's stage for centuries. In fact, Hamburg's influence on music dates as far back as the 17th century when it became home to Germany's first public opera house, Oper am Gansemarkt. Today, the port city's rich music scene includes three professional orchestras, several distinguished soloists, chamber ensembles and numerous artists whose styles range from jazz and indie rock to hip-hop.
For a taste of just about every kind of music out there, head to the iconic Elbphilharmonie, an $850 million symphony hall and architectural wonder that hosts programs, festivals and concerts spanning electronic, opera, flamenco, Afro-Cuban, chamber orchestras and everything in between. There is truly no shortage of programming. Situated along the Elbe River, the Elbphilharmonie offers a dizzying 1,300 events annually.
Apart from an impressive (and packed) programming schedule, the Elbphilharmonie is also worth a visit for its stunning wave-like glass facade, designed by Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, as well as its public viewing platform, the Elbphilharmonie Plaza, which offers panoramic views of the city and port. The Elbphilharmonie also houses several bar, conference and event spaces for up to 2,100 guests, a cafe, a restaurant and the 205-room Westin Hamburg.
Elbphilharmonie lights up at night.
Music lovers of today can't truly experience the depth and breadth of Hamburg's music scene without paying homage to the world-renowned composers who lived and worked here including Johannes Brahms (born in Hamburg in 1833) and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (who was more popular in his day than his father Johann Sebastian Bach).
Composers' Quarter features exhibits dedicated to world-renowned composers.
Gain further insights into the headspaces of musical geniuses by browsing original librettos, music scores and concert programs. While you're there, take a close look at a reproduction of one of Bach's clavichords — you've probably never seen a stringed keyboard instrument quite like this before.
Music changes with the times and often speaks the truths we don't always have the courage to say. There's a certain catharsis that happens at a live performance — as if, for a brief moment in time, the artist speaks directly to you. Moments like these come steadily to those who attend Hamburg's Reeperbahn Festival. Each fall, some 600 concerts and performances take place in clubs, backyard bars, the baroque-style St. Michael's Church and even within the confines of a cramped school bus.
This year's festival included a surprise performance by English rock band Muse — but the focus was, and always has been — on up-and-coming artists of all genres, many of whom play Reeperbahn Festival in hope of finding representation and elevating their careers. This year proved to be the biggest celebration on record, attracting 45,000 visitors to Hamburg over the course of a few days. The 2019 edition is slated for Sept. 18-21, with early bird tickets starting at approximately $120 for four days of music. Europe's largest club festival also hosts a full program of panels and events in the fields of fine art, film and literature.
With a commitment to preserving classical music as well as nurturing emerging artists, Hamburg continues to establish itself as continental Europe's Music City. Whether you're a Beatles fan, a lover of classical music or just your everyday hipster seeking the next breakout band, Hamburg's rich music heritage will surely strike a chord.

1st Meeting of the Working Group on Criteria and Indicators for the Conservation and Sustainable Management of Temperate and Boreal Forests
Montréal Process
The Working Group (WG) on Criteria and Indicators for the Conservation and Sustainable Management of Temperate and Boreal Forests met for the first time in Geneva, June 21-22, 1994. Participants included Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia and the United States. Pekka Patosaari, representing the Helsinki process secretariat and a representative of Germany also participated in the meeting. Dr. Jag Maini of Canada served as chair.
The group agreed on the attached statement of its Purpose and Working Methods. As indicated in the statement, the group will work to develop criteria and indicators for the conservation and sustainable management of temperate and boreal forests, with a view to reaching consensus among participants in advance of the 1995 session of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development. The WG clarified that such a consensus on broad criteria and indicators would provide a common framework to describe and assess forest sustainability at the national level.
Participants recognized that forests are an integral part of the long-term sustainable development of individual countries and of the temperate and boreal region as a whole. As such, forest sustainability could be viewed as the contribution of forests to sustainable development policies and programs at national and regional levels.
Some countries noted that the term sustainable forest management implies only forest production or active use of silvicultural techniques and does not adequately encompass notions of forest protection and preservation. Therefore, for the purposes of its work, the WG agreed to adopt the working phrase, "criteria and indicators for the conservation and sustainable management of temperate and boreal forests". It was understood that criteria and indicators to be considered by the WG would then cover the full range of uses and benefits provided by forests.
In adopting this phrase, the WG noted that countries in the temperate and boreal region differ in a variety of ways including the quantity, quality, characteristics and diversity of their national forest endowments; forest conditions relative to the national population (e.g., amount of forest cover per capita); expectations of how forests should contribute or relate to the needs of society; and stages of economic development.
Participants agreed that working definitions for such terms as criteria and indicators are needed. At its next meeting the WG will review definitions used in the Helsinki process, the Montreal documents and others provided by participants.
Following a review by countries of their respective activities regarding forest sustainability, including domestic work on national level criteria and indicators and current thinking on more broadly applicable criteria and indicators, participants agreed that each country should work to identify criteria and indicators that could apply broadly to forests in the temperate and boreal region. The Working Group agreed that a composite text would be developed after participants had undertaken this preparatory work.
The WG welcomed a presentation by Mr. Pekka Patosaari on the status of the Helsinki process. The group also welcomed the announcement by the U.S. that it will co-sponsor with the Rockefeller Brothers Fund a technical meeting on criteria and indicators for conservation and sustainable management of temperate and boreal forests, September 7-10 in Olympia, Washington. The U.S. noted that one objective of the meeting will be to explore areas of convergence that might be emerging from the Helsinki process, the Montreal process and the work of individual countries.
Participants agreed that the following international organizations could make a useful contribution to technical discussions on criteria and indicators and could be invited to participate in the WG: Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UN Commission on Sustainable Development (UNCSD), International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO), International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), World Wildlife Fund-International, Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSD), and IUFRO.
The WG agreed to make this report available to the participants of the First Expert Level Follow-up Meeting of the Helsinki Conference, 23-24 June 1994 at Geneva.
The next meeting of the Working Group will be held on 28 July 1994 in New Delhi, India, and will be chaired by Jag Maini.
WORKING GROUP ON CRITERIA AND INDICATORS FOR CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF TEMPERATE AND BOREAL FORESTS
In September of 1993, the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) convened a seminar of experts on the subject of "Sustainable Development of Boreal and Temperate Forests". The seminar, held in Montreal, Canada, was attended by 150 representatives of 44 countries representing North America, Europe, the former Soviet Union, and Japan. In addition, seven international non-governmental organizations and 5 international government organizations were represented.
The meeting was designed to examine the concept of sustainable development of forests. The working sessions focussed on defining environmental and socio-economic criteria for sustainable forest development, and providing potential indicators to assess country-level performance against those criteria. The meeting produced two summary documents, one on possible environmental criteria and indicators, and one on possible socio-economic criteria and indicators. While these were not consensus documents, participants agreed they would form a useful basis for further discussion.
The success of the CSCE seminar led many participating countries to call for follow-up and continued work towards specifying a comprehensive definition of sustainable development of boreal and temperate forests. At a follow-up meeting of key countries held by Canada in Washington, D.C., in December 1993, European countries indicated they would continue to work on forest criteria and indicators within the Helsinki Process. Canada proposed that non-European countries like Japan, Russia, the United States and Canada might look at a broader examination and harmonization of criteria for boreal and temperate forests.
Canada subsequently held an informal meeting on April 22nd in Kuala Lumpur to examine the options for the harmonization of approaches to defining criteria and indicators of sustainable development of boreal and temperate forests. Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, and the USA, as well as a member of the Helsinki process secretariat and Germany, participated in the meeting. Participants agreed that it would be useful to establish an informal working group to advance discussions on criteria and indicators for sustainable management of temperate and boreal forests, with a view to developing consensus over the course of the coming year. It was also agreed that efforts should be made at an appropriate time to seek convergence with the ongoing Helsinki process.
PURPOSE AND WORKING METHODS
The purpose of the Working Group is to advance the development of internationally agreed criteria and indicators for the conservation and sustainable management of temperate and boreal forests, with a view to developing a consensus among participants preparatory to the 1995 session of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development. Such a consensus will help establish a common understanding, language and definition of what constitutes conservation and sustainable management of forests in the temperate and boreal region. The Working Group will make efforts at an appropriate time to explore areas of convergence with the ongoing Helsinki process.
The Working Group will include representatives from interested countries with temperate and boreal forests. Participation by others will be welcomed as agreed by the group.
The Working Group will be informal in nature and will pursue its work on an ad hoc basis as agreed by participants. Therefore, only minimum support will be needed to handle logistical arrangements. Canada will facilitate this support, with assistance from others. The Chair will be decided on a meeting by meeting basis. To further facilitate its work, the Working Group will seek to meet in conjunction with already scheduled international forest meetings. When the group decides to have a written result of its meeting, the text will be agreed by participants at the close of the meeting. Participants agree to distribute the results of the group's deliberations to interested countries, international organizations and nongovernmental organizations. The guiding principles of the group will be transparency and flexibility.

This is a strategic-economic-simulator game about TV Station company called "MO & STER TV".
Here you will meet FBI, chef and even the president!
Make cool reports, earn money, attract the audience and try to hold out for 10 days!
1) Publish news, increase amount of your followers - earn more and more money. You need to hold out for 10 days.
2) Each day you have to choose news to publish. You will earn more money, if people interested in this category.
3) Buy different boosts to develop your agency. More employees will speed up your work.
Everything was made only by ourselves except music from news. It was taken from the game HorseZ. Perfect fit, right?
We are waiting for your feedback, especially about the balance in the game and what would you like to change/add here. it will be very useful for us, thank you!
VERY IMPORTANT!!! Have a good day!
The game is interesting. I don't undertand exactly how interested people comes in play when i play with that sort of "wheel of fortune". I don't think either if the theme fits exactly here, because you can become a monster, but the theme is that you are already a monster.
But It's very impresive what you accomplished in the time. Great work!!
Cool cool. I'd like to play long version with more complexity.
Really interesting idea and mechanics and really good work. the only downside is that I'm not seeing the "You're the monster" theme in the game.
That was quite interesting. I wish it was longer and had more variety of events and different types of upgrades. The idea is pretty cool, it has a lot of potential.
However I feel that the concept requires exceptional writing to keep the player curious and interested. I understand that English is not your native language, but the game experience would be much improved if the writing was more clear and interesting.
Also, it seems that the initial viewer interests are randomized each time you start a new game. The first time I played most of the categories were very low. Then the first event came and reduced everything by -15% leaving everything at 0% interest.
Nice game, I enjoyed watching my ratings and demographics grow. Everything seemed rather difficult until a certain point on about days 3/4 when suddenly my income went from ~500 per day to ~10000+ and suddenly I could buy everything (incidentally, I found that if you tried to buy more staff than the maximum, a console appeared on screen with a null ref error).
After that point, it was pretty easy, even if I said no to all the dodgy deals. Also, the slider minigame thing seemed a little out of place, although it did add some excitement.
As Cake_Catastrophe said, there is a pike in the game where you go from some hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands, it makes everything a lot easier!
The musics are great, by the way, and the mini game is amusing.
Interesting. But I couldn't find out if there was any hint as to when to click STOP so that the arrow ends up on green. Maybe this mechanism should be a little bit more obvious.
At first i was not convinced the luck factor, but later that gives a funny mechanic.
I was earning about a hundred or two per broadcast and then got 12k all of a sudden (didn't even understand, what for). Bought all upgrades and got unending NullReferenceExceptions in console.
Managed to last 10 days whilst staying neutral. It's an interesting concept although the slider mini-game feels too random at times (the speed keeps fluctuating a lot).
Would you mind giving more information about why may game doesn't work? What OS do you have? What are your general computer specs (RAM, CPU name, GPU name/memory)?
I can't fix something if I can't figure out what's wrong the same way a mechanic can't fix your car if you leave it at home and just say "It doesn't work."
Rare to see a news sim. And yes, news worker telling twisted face are sure a kind of monster..
The concept is solid and working well. I especially liked the music.
Lots and lots of content! I'm impressed that you managed to write all this in such a short time.
To fit the theme a little more, you should make the "bad choices" good for popularity. I felt like every immoral decision had bad consequences, so I had no interest to become a monster.
I think the game needs more balancing as I earned more than 40'000$ the second day and managed to buy all the upgrades at once. On top of that, I managed to have more employees than the "max". In the end, adding one more employee would cost 2 millions (a little too much maybe?).
Anyway, that's great enjoyable work here! Good job!
Very cool concept; not sure how the theme applies. It's also not 100% clear how the green/red gauge works (w.r.t. stories having general appeal). Fun game!

'Look for the Positive': San Diegans Who Have Made Us Smile During the Pandemic
NBC 7's Joe Little was told to look for the positive during the pandemic and boy, did he find it
By Joe Little	• Published May 18, 2021 • Updated on May 18, 2021 at 1:21 pm
Last year was rough and 2021 is still a challenge. The pandemic has derailed lives and pushed too many people too close to the edge of sanity. But even in those dark days, there were rays of sunshine. You had to look for them.
Through it all, there have been San Diegans who found the positive in their daily lives. Those who put others first. Those who used their skills and talents to make someone else's day a little easier, a little better.
"Look for the Positive" is a collection of NBC 7 stories shot over the course of the coronavirus pandemic that prove the best of society will shine through in the toughest situations.
A post shared by Joe Little (@littlejoetv)
There were the business people who dug deep in their creativity bucket to make ends meet.
Lizzy Broughton took her closed salon and reopened it in the strangest of places; the folks at Señor Grubby's took a donation and paid it forward; and the craftsman who took his child's table and started a revolution for San Diego's restaurants.
Schools were closed for a long time across San Diego County during the pandemic, teachers were cut off, and students were stuck in front of screens for hours. Yet, Brent Ford decided to give his students something -- insane -- to watch on those screens.
Meanwhile, little Liam Vest made us realize that the first day of kindergarten is just another challenge in life -- pandemic or not.
Teacher Scot De Pedro couldn't stand having an empty classroom.
Every day San Diegans refused to let the pandemic win.
Positivity prevailed.
A theatrical costume designer stopped making outfits for the stage and started making masks -- and appointments.
Then there were the art teachers who packed supplies in lunches for children stuck at home.
And the volunteer-turned-vaccination-supersite-cruise-director who showed up to work every day.
The kids who learned they could feed a family with $5 and a community with $1,000; the young man who passed out thousands of meals a week.
And the simple chalkboard that kept the good vibes flowing during everyone's morning walk.
The good was out there in 2020. There is even more good in 2021. We need to choose to see it.

Cardinals fire Matheny in his seventh season
CINCINNATI —
The St. Louis Cardinals fired manager Mike Matheny on Saturday night after an 8-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds at Busch Stadium. The announcement came 71 minutes after the game ended.
» HAL McCOY: Reds beat up Cardinals bullpen in win
Matheny, a Columbus native who graduated from Reynoldsburg High School and played at the University of Michigan, coached seven seasons in St. Louis. His final record was 591-474.
"Mike Matheny has served the St. Louis Cardinals organization with tremendous dedication and pride and I am thankful for his service to the Cardinals over the past six and a half seasons,"said Cardinals' Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Bill DeWitt Jr. in a press release. "On behalf of the entire Cardinals organization, I would like to wish Mike the very best."
At one point earlier this season, the Cardinals had won 13 straight games against the Reds. That streak began in 2017. The Reds ended that losing streak June 10 and with two victories this weekend in St. Louis — by a combined score of 17-3 — have now won three in a row against the Cardinals.
» AMAZING CATCH: Hamilton's play a highlight in Friday's Reds victory
The series concludes at 2:15 p.m. Sunday. It's the last game before the all-star break.
The Cardinals are 47-46 overall and 17-22 since June 1. Matheny never had a losing season with the Cardinals but had not taken them to the playoffs since 2015.
The Cardinals also announced they fired hitting coach John Mabry and assistant hitting coach Bill Mueller. Bench coach Mike Shildtas will serve as interim manager.

Some Other Fun Puzzles
A fun jigsaw featuring a bunch of tasty watermelons. The watermelon is a vine-like flowering plant originally from southern Africa. Its fruit, which is also called watermelon, is a special kind referred to by botanists as a pepo, a berry which has a thick rind and fleshy center. The watermelon fruit, loosely considered a type of melon has a smooth exterior rind (green, yellow and sometimes white) and a juicy, sweet interior flesh (usually deep red to pink, but sometimes orange, yellow and even green if not ripe).
Grapes, Apples And Bananas
Get your vitamins and minerals the natural way with a delicious piece of fruit. In this fun new game we have some apples, green and red grapes and a couple of ripe bananas. If you didn't know by know regular consumption of fruit is generally associated with reduced risks of several diseases and functional declines associated with aging. Most fruit are high in fiber, vitamins, and water. Pick a difficulty level, start the game and put the fruit plate back together one piece at a time for a relaxing puzzle solving time.
Apples and Plums
A bowl of delicious apples and plums.
Chocolate And Coffee
What better way to start the day then with a cup of hot coffee, a piece of delicious chocolate and a relaxing puzzle. Enjoy!
Red And Yellow Chili Peppers
Chili peppers have been a part of the human diet in the Americas since at least 7500 BCE. Chili peppers originated in Mexico. India is currently the world's biggest producer, consumer and exporter of chili peppers. Chili pepper pods, which are berries, are used fresh or dried.
Green Satsuma Mandarines
Also known as unshu mikan, cold hardy mandarin, satsuma orange, citrus unshiu, naartjie, and tangerine, the satsuma mandarin is a seedless and easy-peeling citrus species. Satsumas are cold-hardy, and when planted in colder locations, the fruit becomes sweeter from the colder temperatures. Its fruit is one of the sweetest citrus varieties. Citrus unshiu is amongst others grown in Japan, Spain, central China, Korea, the US, South Africa, South America, New Zealand, and around the Black Sea.
Time for a cup of hot tea and a relaxing jigsaw puzzle. Tea originated in China as a medicinal drink. It was first introduced to Portuguese priests and merchants in China during the 16th century. Drinking tea became popular in Britain during the 17th century. Green tea may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer, promote oral health, reduce blood pressure, help with weight control, improve antibacterial and antivirasic activity, provide protection from solar ultraviolet light, and increase bone mineral density.
Egg Quesadilla
A quesadilla is a flour or corn tortilla filled with a savoury mixture containing cheese and other ingredients, then folded in half. This dish originated in Mexico, and the name is derived from the Spanish word queso (cheese). The specific origin for the quesadilla was in colonial Mexico. The quesadilla as a food changed and evolved over many years as people experimented with different variations of it.
Do you like cinnamon? Here's how cinnamon looks before being used in your food, desert or drink. Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum that is used in both sweet and savoury foods. Cinnamon is harvested by growing the tree for two years then coppicing it. The next year, about a dozen shoots will form from the roots. The branches harvested this way are processed by scraping off the outer bark, then beating the branch evenly with a hammer to loosen the inner bark. The inner bark is then prised out in long rolls. Only this thin inner bark is used to get the cinnamon sticks.
Put the star shaped cookies back together as fast as you can in this new fun and challenging jigsaw puzzle game.
Organic Produce Market
Today we're visiting an organic produce market. If you didn't know, organic produce is food produced by methods that comply with the standards of organic farming (not using pesticides and fertilizers while promoting ecological balance, and conserving biodiversity). Organic food is believed to be safer, more nutritious, and better tasting than conventional food. In this fun new puzzle we feature lots and lots of organically grown vegetables like: cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, bell-peppers, corn, green beans, green onions and more. What's your favorite vegetable?
White and Orange Pumpkins
Pumpkins, like other squash, are thought to have originated in North America. The oldest evidence, pumpkin-related seeds dating between 7000 and 5500 BC, was found in Mexico. Most pumpkins are orange because of the high amounts of lutein, alpha- and beta- carotene but they also come in white and dark green. Most parts of the pumpkin are edible, including the fleshy shell, the seeds, the leaves, and even the flowers. When ripe, the pumpkin can be boiled, steamed, or roasted.

Our Live Show
The Kevin Prater Band
Situated in the hills of Eastern Kentucky, there is a small town of Belcher. Listen closely and you might hear what is first thought to be the angels singing. It is the sweet, crystal clear, high tenor voice of Belcher's own multi-talented son of Bluegrass. Add in his powerful and precise Mandolin, a few licks of his Guitar, Banjo, Bass and Dobro, you have the complete package of Kevin Prater. Kevin began his musical voyage at the age of four. Encouraged and mentored by his Uncle and biggest fan, Boone Estep. At age 10, he formed his first band "Elkhorn Grass" . Elkhorn Grass enjoyed 11 years of touring together. Now, over thirty years later, Kevin has traveled millions of miles, played in 49 States and 23 countries. Kevin has moved from being one of the best sidemen in Bluegrass to leading his own talented and unique band, from the hills of Appalachia, creating that Pure Kentucky Sound of the The Kevin Prater Band.
The Kevin Prater Band grew from a long musical association between Kevin Prater and Tom Timberlake. Beginning with the Timmy Cline Band in 1994 and continuing with Redwing in later years. Years into Kevin's tenure with The James King Band, Tom began encouraging Kevin to do his own music, with his own band. Tom's persistence paid off. He put the fire under Kevin to pursue his dream of fronting his own band. Soon they were forming The Kevin Prater Band. They started picking together again and working on new music with a couple of local musicians, playing their first show as "The Kevin Prater Band" in 2007. Kevin has been blessed to showcase his many talents through out his amazing career. His solid rythmn and lead is a driving force of the KPB sound. His vocals are the backbone of the group, which the music is built around. Kevin has surrounded himself with veterans of Bluegrass Music, enabling them to create their unique style of Bluegrass and Gospel Music they are quickly becoming famous for.
Ryan Lester, has been playing bluegrass music since he could stand up and hold an instrument. In addition to playing Mandolin, Bass and Guitar, Ryan is a strong, respected vocalist. Influenced by his grandfather Dean Jackson, Tony Rice, Russell Moore, Wayne Benson, Dan Tyminski and Darrell Webb. Bands of influence to Ryan are The Bluegrass Album Band, The Osborne Brothers.
Jake Burrows, Jake, as well as his brother Adam, come to the band with a huge resume of Bluegrass knowledge and experience for their young age. Heavily influenced by Earl Scruggs style, Jake brings a firery
Banjo to the KPB as well as an emotion filled Dobro. Jake has a vast knowledge of Bluegrass music, which is evident in his ability to sing any part.
Adam Burrows, Older brother to Jake, Adam brings an energetic fiddle and the ability to dance the stage while playing and singing. His energy keeps his elder band mates on their toes and entertain crowds. Adam is a true Traditionalist when it comes to Bluegrass. Taking time to learn original styles of many legends in order to preserve the music the way it was mint to be played.
The Kevin Prater Band sound comes from a wide range of influences and musical heroes. The Original Seldom Scene, The Country Gentlemen, Osborne Brothers, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Red Allen, The Stanley Brothers, Boone Estep & The Ramblin Grass are among the different styles of music they have all admired and studied together throughout the years. Also steeped in the tradition of Gospel music, they pride themselves on the a capella hymns and great gospel songs that people have come to enjoy. The band also includes Classic Country and Vintage Rock in their repertoire, insuring no two shows of The Kevin Prater Band are the same.
Members of the band are great friends, enjoy making great music and look forward to a long future together. The band enjoys traveling, reconnecting with old friends, making new fans and hope their music will bring attention to the "Pure Kentucky Bluegrass & Gospel Music" they have become known for. Watch for Kevin Prater and The Kevin Prater Band at a show near you. Great things are happening and they want you to be a part of it.

You're bloody, shaking in fear, and traumatized after your world (or your car) was rocked by an accident. You suddenly don't know what you should do, but your instincts might tell you to get out of the wrecked vehicle right away, even if it meant almost crawling your way out of there (just like what that man did in the background).
However, there is this huge, unbreakable habit that many people seemed to have learned once they get their hands on a smartphone. Would you like to venture a guess?
Just watch this video to see if you guessed it right. Many people have even commented about how her actions remind them of a certain someone in their life – a family member, friend or colleague.
Would you do what this woman did in the video? Watch her here.

Q: Power and power loss during transmission of power So let's say power to be delivered to homes is 80 kW($P_3$ = 80 kW) and the houses have to receive it at 220 V ($V_3$ = 220 V). The substation is a 4000 V to 220 V step-down transformer and $R_2=15\  \Omega$.
It says that the power loss is $I^2R$, and I understand that here it has to be $I_2^2R_2$. But I'm confused about P=IV and V=IR, why is $I_2^2R_2$ not equal to $I_2V_2$? Why is $V_2$ not equal to $I_2R_2$? Could someone please explain what's going on here?
(Here the power loss is 60 kW so the power plant has to supply 140 kW (60 kW + 80 kW).)

A:
why is $I^2_2R^2$ not equal to $I_2V_2$?

Let $V_2$ be the (AC) voltage across at the source (left) end of the transmission lines. $I_2R_2$ is the voltage drop from the source end to the load (right) end. That is, the load end of the transmission line has voltage $V_2 - I_2R_2$ across which is lower than the source end.
The drawing could be better in this regard by explicitly labeling the voltage across at each end of the transmission line.
The product $I_2V_2$ is the AC power (assuming unity power factor) delivered to the transmission lines. The product $I_2(V_2 - I_2R_2)$ is the power delivered to the step-down transformer which is lower than that delivered to the transmission lines. Thus, the power lost to heating the transmission lines is $I^2_2R_2$


Anyhowz ... so now, are we still friends Coach ?
Just cuz we disagree doesnt mean we aint friends! My wife and I disagree all the time... and I still think she is hot!
I'm pretty sure he would have walked into a pub and watched it with the guys.
The officiating was horrible all thru the playoffs this year. Especially the game between Pittsburg and Denver!
did anyone else think Mic Jagger performed down near his worst?
Was there ever a time that performed well in his "career"? Who told him he could sing???
but you NEED Tivo to watch it around kids anymore.
Tivo is awesome. And we usually start watching games 30 minutes after they start specifically so we can fast forward thru the commercials.
Other than sports we dont watch much TV other than educational shows. (We homeschool) There was a great documentary on PBS last night about Bonhoeffer.
Glad we're still N.C. brethren/friends.
You have 4 children, right ? And a gorgeous wife.
I remember ,,,, that was the thread where we met last year.
Remember, I called you sister ? I'm lucky I lived through that one .. but we hit it off from there.
Terrific ! Praise God for your wife and you home schooling.
I'm with ya on the T.V. stuff.
While I was off line for 3 mo.s, I got so bored, I turned the thing on, after I dusted it off, plugged it in and adjusted the rabbit ears .. haaaaaaa.
Now that I'm back on line, I only watch one show now and then. It's educational for me.
If I had cable or something more than rabbit ears, I'd be tempted with the HGTV station.
Well, this was a fun thread after all.
Can't say I agree with the Jesus in the Pub stuff, HA ... but then again ... I'm still growing.
Re:Jesus in a Sports Bar.
I tried ... I even signed off and sat staring at the monitor for a while, but I just can't see it.
I'm sorry guys, I really did try, but I just can't see it. And what would He say about Jager ? Oh my.
Guess I'm on the outter bounds again. I'm out of the league. I'm benched. I've fumbled the ball for the last time. I'm finished.

Anne Catherine Lucinde Paradol (ou Lucinde Prévost-Paradol après son mariage) est une comédienne française née à Paris le  et morte à Neuilly le . Elle est la mère de Lucien-Anatole Prévost-Paradol.

Biographie
Fille d'un coiffeur-perruquier, Anne-Catherine-Lucinde Paradol entre au Conservatoire de Paris en 1814 pour y étudier le chant sous la direction du compositeur Charles-Henri Plantade, avant de débuter deux ans plus tard dans l'opéra Alceste de Christoph Willibald Gluck.

En dépit de la faveur qu'elle reçoit du public,  Paradol quitte peu après la capitale pour chanter à Lyon et Marseille. Après ces tournées, sur les conseils de Michelot, acteur célèbre mais surtout sociétaire de la Comédie-Française, elle abandonne le chant pour se tourner vers la tragédie et la comédie. Dès , à 21 ans, elle débute au Théâtre-Français dans une tragédie de Voltaire, incarnant le personnage éponyme de Sémiramis qui reste sa composition la plus connue. Réclamée pour ses capacités à interpréter les caractères du grand répertoire, elle présente ensuite avec succès Émilie dans Cinna de Pierre Corneille puis Agrippine dans Britannicus de Jean Racine.

Elle se spécialise dans la tragédie dans laquelle, selon les contemporains, elle excelle dans l'expression des sentiments nobles, sinon aristocratiques. Elle y crée plusieurs grands rôles, la reine Marguerite dans Louis IX de Jacques-François Ancelot (1819), Elizabeth d'Angleterre dans Marie Stuart de Pierre-Antoine Lebrun (1820), de Jane Shore, dans la tragédie homonyme de Népomucène Lemercier (1824). Elle est nommée  sociétaire en 1823.

La décennie qui suit cette période lui offre moins de succès car, en dépit de son talent, la critique de l'époque lui reconnait un certain nombre de défauts qui la rendent peu apte à rivaliser avec sa grande rivale  George. Celle-ci, établie sur le même registre et les mêmes rôles, connut effectivement une postérité beaucoup plus favorable. Ayant quitté la scène relativement tôt, en 1838, à 40 ans, Lucinde Paradol y avait conservé, selon ses biographes, une « réputation intacte ».

Elle eut, durant plusieurs années, une liaison avec Léon Halévy, lequel lui donna un fils en 1829, futur journaliste à succès, Lucien-Anatole. Son mariage ultérieur avec le chef de bataillon en retraite Prévost - qui reconnut son enfant - lui permit ensuite, à la fin de sa carrière, d'accoler le nom de son mari au sien.

 Paradol fréquentait le salon des Devéria où se réunissait un des cercles du romantisme naissant autour d'Achille Devéria et de son épouse Céleste, née Motte. La presse releva sa présence et celle de Léon Halévy le  aux deuxièmes loges du Théâtre-Français à côté des frères Devéria (Achille et Eugène) et de leur sœur, la belle  Devéria (Laure, benjamine de la fratrie), tous venus en soutien à Victor Hugo dont la première de Le Roi s'amuse se donnait ce jour-là.

Achille Devéria dessina son portrait vers 1830.

Q: Soft delete does not work for queries using OR I have used "Soft Delete" pattern implemented at EF TechEd session (code available here: https://github.com/rowanmiller/Demo-TechEd2014). The solution worked well until I tried to execute query with condition including OR:
dbSet.Where(x => x.Name == "Foo" || x. Name == "Bar");

This produced SQL query like below:
SELECT `Extent1`.`Id`, `Extent1`.`Name`
FROM `Table` AS `Extent1`
WHERE ('Foo' = `Extent1`.`Name`) OR ('Bar' = `Extent1`.`Name`) AND `Extent1`.`Deleted` != 1;

As you can see, Deleted flag checking is added in the end of WHERE clause, but the order of conditions causes that deleted entries are also returned.
I suspect that there is a problem with implementation of SoftDeleteQueryVisitor.

Gciriku or Dciriku (Also Diriku, Dirico, Manyo or Rumanyo), is a Bantu language spoken by 305,000 people along the Okavango River in Namibia, Botswana and Angola. 24,000 people speak Gciriku in Angola, according to Ethnologue. It was first known in the west via the Vagciriku, who had migrated from the main Vamanyo area and spoke Rugciriku, a dialect of Rumanyo. The name Gciriku (Dciriku, Diriku) remains common in the literature, but within Namibia the name Rumanyo has been revived. The Mbogedu dialect is extinct; Maho (2009) lists it as a distinct language, and notes that the names 'Manyo' and 'Rumanyo' are inappropriate for it.

It is one of several Bantu languages of the Okavango which have click consonants, as in  ('bed'),  ('flower'), and  ('tortoise'). These clicks, of which there are half a dozen (c, gc, ch, and prenasalized nc and nch), are generally all pronounced with a dental articulation, but there is broad variation between speakers. They are especially common in place names and in words for features of the landscape, reflecting their sources in Khwe and Ju, two members of the Khoisan language family. Many of the click words in Gciriku, including those in native Bantu vocabulary, are shared with Kwangali, Mbukushu, and Fwe.

Nieuwkerke (Frans: Neuve-Église) is een dorp in de Belgische provincie West-Vlaanderen. Het werd tot in de 19e eeuw ook Westnieuwkerke genoemde (om het te onderscheiden van het dorp Oostnieuwkerke dat nu een deelgemeente is van Staden). Nieuwkerke was een zelfstandige gemeente tot aan de gemeentelijke herindeling van 1977 toen het de zuidelijkste deelgemeente van Heuvelland, tegen de grens met Frankrijk en Wallonië aan. In het zuiden van de gemeente liggen de grensgehuchtjes De Seule en Romarin.

Geschiedenis

Op de heuvel van het huidige Nieuwkerke kwam zeer vroeg een nederzetting tot stand, gelegen langs de heirweg die over Terenburg, Kassel, Belle, Mesen en verder over Wervik liep. Doordat de Noormannen in de 9e eeuw het kustgebied onveilig maakten, vluchtten de meeste kustbewoners naar deze bosachtige streek.

Daardoor nam omstreeks einde negende en geheel 10e eeuw de bevolking sterk toe.

Bij het begin van de 11e eeuw werd de toenmalige kapel tot een kerk verbouwd met de hulp van de monniken van de abdij Sint-Jan-ten-Berg. De parochiekerk, die op 15 augustus 1080 door de Bisschop van Terwaan werd ingewijd, was in romaanse stijl opgetrokken met een toren op het kruispunt van de beuken. Ze was gebouwd in ijzersteen die in de streek zelf werd opgegraven. De bisschop was verheugd dat zijn bisdom met een nieuwe christelijke gemeenschap en een 'nieuwe kerk' werd verrijkt. Zo kreeg het landgoed de benaming 'Neo-Ecclesia' of 'Nieuwe-Kerk'.

In de middeleeuwse bloeiperiode wedijverde de gemeente, met zowat 10.000 inwoners, met Ieper. Als industriële agglomeratie was Nieuwkerke in de 16e eeuw een brandpunt van radicaal calvinisme, dat fel werd bestreden door de autoriteiten. Alleen al op 31 mei 1568 werden in Nieuwkerke 82 calvinisten veroordeeld, meestal bij verstek. VZW Geuzenproject houdt om de twee jaar de herinnering aan deze periode levendig met een theaterwandeling. Door de godsdienstoorlogen kwam de lakennijverheid in een impasse terecht. In 1582 woedde een stadsbrand. Veel lakenwevers weken daarna uit naar Engeland. In 1608 was het stadhuis herbouwd. De nijverheid legde zich toe op de productie van baai, terwijl daarna ook de vlas- en linnennijverheid weer tot bloei kwam. In 1647 werd het stadhuis en de lakenhal opnieuw verwoest, nu door de Fransen. In 1648 werd een nieuwe lakenhal opgericht, welke echter in 1844 werd afgebroken.

Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog werd Nieuwkerke verwoest en daarna, voornamelijk volgens het oorspronkelijke plan, weer heropgebouwd.

Tot Nieuwkerke behoorde in een zuidoostelijke uitloper van het grondgebied ook het gehuchtje Clef de Hollande. Hier werd Frans gesproken en het gehuchtje werd bij de vastlegging van de Taalgrens in 1963 aangehecht bij Ploegsteert, dat van de provincie West-Vlaanderen naar de Waalse provincie Henegouwen werd overgeheveld.

In 1988 vestigde het aardappelverwerkende bedrijf Clarebout zich op de Nieuwkerkse heuvelrug. De fabriek groeide uit tot een van de grootste wereldwijd in haar sector en zorgde, behalve voor werkgelegenheid, ook voor geuroverlast en veel zwaar vervoer. Er worden diepvriesfrieten, -kroketten en -aardappelblokjes geproduceerd.

Bezienswaardigheden

 Het voormalig gemeentehuis
 De Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk. De driebeukige kerk werd meermaals door protestantse geuzen in brand gestoken, maar werd telkenmale herbouwd.
 In het dorp liggen de Britse militaire begraafplaatsen:
 Westhof Farm Cemetery
 Nieuwkerke (Neuve-Église) Churchyard
 Maple Leaf Cemetery
 Kandahar Farm Cemetery
 Het Geuzenmonument

Natuur en landschap
Nieuwkerke ligt in Zandlemig Vlaanderen en in het West-Vlaams Heuvelland op een hoogte van ongeveer 65 meter. Hier ligt de zuidelijke heuvelkam van het heuvelland met De Walletjes en Zwarte Molen (80 meter). Ten noorden van Nieuwkerke loopt de Douvebeek in oostelijke richting. Naar het zuiden toe neemt de hoogte snel af, tot ongeveer 20 meter aan de Belgisch-Franse grens. Hier wordt de vallei van de Leie genaderd.

Politiek
Nieuwkerke had een eigen gemeentebestuur en burgemeester tot de fusie van 1977. Burgemeester waren:

 1810-1811 : Jean Jacques Glorie
 1812-1818 : Jean Benoit De Quecker
 1818-1835 : Eugenius Bernardus Glorie
 1836-1859 : Basile Joseph Vermeersch
 1862-1862 : Pierre Louis Van Eecke
 1889-1890 : Cyrille Béni Glorie

 1947-1958 : Arsène Boulet
 1960-1962 : Léon Lemaire
 1962-1976 : José Lemaire

De laatste burgemeester, José Lemaire, werd na de fusie de eerste burgemeester van Heuvelland.

Someone is crowd-funding to create the world's first vagina museum
Hayley Spencer
backgroundLayer 1
Add this article to your list of favourites
There is a penis museum in Iceland, and a museum dedicated to sex in Amsterdam, but no vagina museum in existence anywhere in the world. So one woman has decided that she needs to fill the void.
The idea for the museum was born when founder and UK vlogger Florence Schechter was trying to research for a video on animal's vaginas. Her research reached a dead end, when it had been comparably easy to obtain the facts needed to create a similar video on penises in the animal kingdom.
She concluded that there needs to be a dedicated place to learn about vaginas, and everything related to consent and health. So she set about making it a reality.
While there are travelling artworks like the Great Wall of Vaginas and a virtual vagina museum there's no "physical space wholly dedicated to the vagina," explains Schechter on the museum's website.

Schechter explains that she aims to create a space in London dedicated to displaying "a holistic view of vaginas", by representing "the variety of people and animals who have them, and their place in culture".
The museum would aim to run free exhibitions, events – like plays and concerts and provide community outreach into underrepresented fields like STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and politics. Schechter would also like a cafe serving vagina cupcakes and selling themed merchandise.
The museum is still funding in order to make the dream a reality, but in order to start getting its name out there, its first event, a feminist comedy night, will take place on May 19 at Unit 5 Gallery, London.

PRODUCTION: Slovak Director Iveta Grófová to Adapt Peter Krištúfek's Book Ema and Death's Featured
Zuzana Točíková Vojteková 2019-07-19
BRATISLAVA: Slovak director Iveta Grófová is in preproduction with Ema and Death's – Head / Ema a smrtihlav, originally written and directed by Peter Krištúfek, who died in 2018. The film is a Slovak / Czech coproduction set for shooting in 2020-2021.
"Given the tragic event that hit our project in the spring of 2018, we started to prepare the project with a new director, Iveta Grófová. Shooting must be done chronologically because of the child protagonist and should start in summer, so the main part of the production will start in the summer of 2020," Zuzana Mistríková from PubRes told FNE.
This historical drama adapts Krištúfek's book of the same title and tells the story of Marika Sándorfi and a Jewish boy called Simon during the First Slovak Republic, on the Slovak-Hungarian borderlands. The main dramatic conflict of the film is built around the survival of the two protagonists who find themselves in a very precarious situation.
"We have prepared a detailed architectural study and spent more than half a year in archives searching for period realities and local stories related to the Krištúfek´s book, which were a great inspiration for Iveta. Important tasks in the story will be hold by animals, so we already started training them", Mistríková also said.
The film will be shot in Podunajské Biskupice and the westen part of Slovakia. Shooting is expected to wrap in the spring of 2021.
From the estimated budget of 1,450,000 EUR, approximately a third is already in place, representing a production grant of 550,000 EUR from the Slovak Audiovisual Fund. The film is coproduced by Ondřej Trojan´s Total Helpart T.H.A., which will apply for support from the Czech Film Fund. The producers are negotiating with Czech Television and they are also planning to submit the project to RTVS.
For local distribution PubRes made a deal with Forum Film ,which also distributed their previous films Toman (by Ondřej Trojan), Oddsockeaters (by Galina Miklínová) and The Teacher (by Jan Hřebejk).
