1From John Adams to Boston Patriot, 1809 (Adams Papers)
There are two Sentences in Talleyrand's Letter of the 28th of August, 1798 which ought not to pass unnoticed, the first "In France it was Supposed that the Government of the United States, wished only the appearances of a Negotiation, whence resulted a certain demand for Pledges of good Faith" The Second is "Can it be believed that a Man who should profess a hatred or Contempt of the French...
You very well know, that the Publication of my Letters in Pamplets and Numbers, was a project of your own, without any previous Knowledge or Consent of mine. You had an undoubted write right to do this or to make any this Use of them or any other you pleased; because I had given them to you and to the World. But in your "Introductory Remarks by the Publishers" to the first number you have...
3From John Adams to Boston Patriot, 10 April 1809 (Adams Papers)
I was glad to see in your paper of the 7th of this month, the extract from the Baltimore Federal Republican , for many reasons, which may be explained in due time; one or two may be stated now. 1. I was pleased with the candid acknowledgment, that "Mr. Adams never was a favorite with the leading men of the federal party." The words leading men will require some explanation and some limitations...
The institution of an Embassy to France in 1799, was made upon principle, and in conformity to a system of foreign affairs, formed upon long deliberation, established in my mind, and amply opened, explained and supported in Congress, that is a system of eternal Neutrality, if possible, in all the wars of Europe, at least eighteen years before President Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality...
FROM Mr. Murray, the American Minister at the Hague, who had been appointed by President Washington, I received assurances from the French government similar to those in Mr. Barlow's letter and so many others. They were conveyed from the French Directory to Mr. Pichon, Secretary of Legation and Charge des Affaires of the French Republic near the Batavian Republic, in the absence of the French...
WHEN I had received that authentic act of the sovereign authority of France, a copy of which is inserted in my last letter to you, communicated by their Secretary of State, through their Secretary of Legation and Charge des Affaires and our Minister at the Hague, fully complying with all my requisitions, upon mature deliberation I determined to nominate a Minister to France. Some of the...
A few words more on the subject of pressing. In strictness, we have nothing to do with the question, whether impressments of seamen in England are legal or illegal. Whatever iniquity or inhumanity that government may inflict on their own subjects, we have no authority to call them to an account for it. But when they extend that power to us, a foreign nation, it is natural for us, and it is our...
THE gentlemen of the Senate informed me, that they came to confer with me on the subject of the nomination of Mr. Murray to France; that there was a considerable dissatisfaction with it, and they desired to know for what reasons I had preferred Mr. Murray to so many others abroad and at home. My answer to the gentlemen was, that I thought Mr. Murray a gentleman of talents, address and...
9From John Adams to Boston Patriot, 2 May 1809 (Adams Papers)
THE message mentioned in my last letter, was in these words: Gentlemen of the Senate , The proposition of a fresh negociation with France, in consequence of advances made by the French government, has excited so general an attention and so much conversation, as to have given occasion to many manifestations of the public opinion, from which it appears to me, that a new modification of the...
10From John Adams to Boston Patriot, 9 May 1809 (Adams Papers)
At first I intended to encumber your paper with no Documents but such as were absolutely necessary for my own vindication. But as the peace with France in eighteen hundred was not only an event of great importance in itself, but produced demonstrations of the prejudices, passions, views, designs and systems of parties, more perhaps than any other; I hope you will allow me room for such other...
Mr. Hamilton, in his famous pamphlet, page 23, says, "the conduct pursued bore sufficient marks of courage and elevation to raise the national character to an exalted height throughout Europe." "Much it is to be deplored that we should have been precipitated from this proud eminence, without necessity, without temptation." It is the habitual practice of our parties, to affirm or deny, as they...
12From John Adams to Boston Patriot, 10 May 1809 (Adams Papers)
On the 6th of March a letter was written by the Secretary of State by my order, in the following words, to Mr. Murray : Philadelphia, March 6, 1799. Sir, I enclose a commission constituting you, in conjunction with the Chief Justice Elsworth and Patrick Henry , Esq. of Virginia, Envoys Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary to the French Republic.—By the President's direction, I enclose...
In a A Letter from Alexander Hamilton concerning the Public Conduct and Character of John Adams Esq. President of the United States printed at New York for John Lang, by George F. Hopkins, 1800. Copy right Secured; the Subject of the Negotiation with France in that year is considered. In the twenty fourth page it is Said that "The Session which ensued the Promulgation of the Dispatches of our...
Another of my crimes, according to my great accuser, page 28, was nominating Mr. Murray, without previous consultation with any of my ministers. To this charge I shall say but little at present. In England the first magistrate is responsible for nothing; his ministers for every thing: Here according to the practice, if not the constitution, the ministers are responsible for nothing; the...
Mr. Hamilton, in his pamphlet, page 28, speaking of Talleyrand's dispatches, says, "overtures so circuitous and informal, through a person who was not the regular organ of the French government for making them, to a person who was not the regular organ of the French government for receiving them, &c. were a very inadequate basis for the institution of a new mission." Here, again, Mr....
In pamphlet , page 27, it is said that the great alteration in public opinion had put it completely in the power of our executive to control the machinations of any future public agent, of France. Therefore Philadelphia was a safer scene of negotiation than Paris. Mr. Hamilton's erroneous conceptions of the public opinion may be excused by the considerations that he was not a native of the...
Mr. Hamilton , in his pamphlet, page 21, speaks of the anterior mission of Messieurs Pinckney, Marshall and Gerry, and says, "it was resolved to make another, and a more solemn experiment in the form of a commission of three." When I first read this sentence, I am not certain whether it excited most of astonishment, indignation, contempt, or ridicule. By whom was this Measure resolved ? By...
18From John Adams to Boston Patriot, 5 June 1809 (Adams Papers)
IN page 25, is a strain of flimsy rant, as silly as it is indecent. "The supplement to the declaration was a blameable excess." It waved the point of honor, which after two rejections of our ministers, required that the next mission, should proceed from France. Where did he find this point of honor? If any such point had existed, it had its full force against the second mission: and its...
In page 28, Mr. Hamilton acknowledges that "the President had pledged himself in his speech, (he should have said in his message) to send a minister, if satisfactory assurances of a proper reception were given." Notwithstanding this, Mr. Hamilton, and all his confidential friends, exerted their utmost art and most strenuous endeavors to prevail on the President to violate this pledge. What can...
In page 26, Mr. Hamilton says, that the mission "could hardly fail to injure our interests with other countries." This is another of those phantoms which he had conjured up to terrify minds and nerves as weak as his own. It was a common place theme of discourse, which, no doubt, the British faction very efficaciously assisted him in propagating. I know it made impression on some, from whose...
IN page 20, Mr. Hamilton says, my "conduct in the office of President was a heterogeneous compound of right and wrong, of wisdom and error." As at that time, in my opinion, his principal rule of right and wrong, of wisdom and error, was his own ambition and indelicate pleasures, I despise his censure, and should consider his approbation as a satire on my administration. "The outset," he says,...
22From John Adams to Boston Patriot, 10 June 1809 (Adams Papers)
IN page 29. Mr. Hamilton says, "when an ordinary man dreams himself to be a Frederick," &c. To this I shall make but a short answer. When a Miss of the street shall print a pamphlet in London, and call the Queen of England an ordinary woman, who dreams herself a Catharine of Russia, no Englishman will have the less esteem for his queen for that impudent libel. There is something in the 24th...
In a former letter, it was suggested that I found myself obliged to say something of the peace of 1783. Mr. Hamilton, in his pamphlet, page 7, says, "The principal merit of the negociation with Great Britain, in some quarters, has been bestowed on Mr. Adams; but it is certainly the right of Mr. Jay, who took a lead in the several steps of the transaction, no less honorable to his talents than...
On the 17th day of November, 1779, I embarked for Europe, with the hon. Francis Dana, Esq. and Mr. John Thaxter. The former was appointed by Congress, secretary of legation to my two commissions.—There could not have been found in the United States a gentleman in whose education, connections, talents, integrity and personal friendship, I had more entire confidence. The latter I had taken from...
25From John Adams to Boston Patriot, 3 July 1809 (Adams Papers)
On the 13th of July I wrote to the Comte De Vergennes the following letter: Paris July 13, 1781. Sir, I have the honor to inclose to your excellency, some remarks upon the articles to serve as a basis of the negociation for the re-establishment of peace, which you did me the honor to communicate to me. As I am unacquainted, whether you desired my sentiments upon these articles, merely for your...
26From John Adams to Boston Patriot, 10 July 1809 (Adams Papers)
DESIROUS to inform Congress of every step of my proceedings, I wrote a letter, on the 15th in these words, to the President: Paris, July 15, 1781. Sir, I have the honor to enclose a copy of a letter to the Comte De Vergennes, and of certain articles and their answers. The British Court proposed to the Imperial Courts, a congress, upon two preliminary conditions, the rupture of the treaty with...
THE next day I wrote another letter to the Comte. Paris, July 19, 1781. In my letter, sir, of the 18th, I had the honor to mention some things that lay upon my mind; but still I am apprehensive that in a former letter I have not conveyed my full meaning to your excellency. In my letter of the 16th, I submitted to your excellency's opinion and advice, whether an American minister could appear...
I mentioned in a former letter that Congress had separated from me my friend, Mr. Dana, and sent him as a public minister to the court of Russia, from whence he communicated to me the following correspondence. A Letter from the French Minister at St. Petersburgh, to Mr. Dana, St. Petersburgh, August 22, O. S. 1781. Sept. 2, N. S. Sir , I have received the letter which you did me the honor to...
Not long after the foregoing letter, but I know not how long, the Marquis of Verac communicated to Mr. Dana the following: Exract from the Answer of the Court of France to the Propositions made on the subject of the re-establishment of Peace by the Courts of Petersburgh and of Vienna. PROPOSITION. Il Sera traité á Vienne, entre la Grande Bretagne, et les Colonies Americaines, du retablissment...
Project of an answer to the three Belligerent Courts. Answer Mutatis Mutandis. THE courts of Versailles and of Madrid, having caused to be transmitted to the two Imperial Courts, their respective answers to the articles to serve as a basis to the negotiation which had been communicated to them, as the court of London had communicated her answer to them on the 15th of June last, they think they...

Revenue from oil and gas investing should be at the top of American investors' lists. The goal at LandMaster Partners is to generate as much revenue from oil and gas investing as possible. The oil and gas industry is generating favorable returns for its clients. Educating potential and active investors increase the possibility to earn above and beyond other investments. There is significant opportunity for revenue from oil and gas investing with LandMaster Partners. Our focus is to strategically invest your dollars in low-to-moderate risk ventures. This strategy is proven to generate high returns for our investors.
Central West Texas drilling fields are the main target for LandMaster Partners. Rated at the top, the return verses risks are carefully weighted when selecting drilling sites, both established and future. West Central Texas is the Eastern Edge of the Permian Basin, meaning the same pay zones found in deeper western wells are more accessible in the area where we operate. This particular approach also increases probability for high revenue from oil and gas.
Our organization is determined to pursue worthwhile wells in the Central West Texas area, in order to access high producing wells drilled in the past 60 years. This means mapping potential and established pay zones is accomplished through scrutinizing productive wells with anticipated dry holes near those wells. With oil pricing above $100 per barrel, many wells on these fields are now very profitable and producing.
While the main mission of LandMaster Partners is to align investors in low-to-moderate ventures, an array of investment programs are designed to offer something to all of our investors to generate revenue from oil and gas investments. It's the right time to get into oil and gas investing. Deciding now to invest in oil and gas ventures can only supply a larger revenue from oil and gas in years to come. The right bundle of investments is critical to generating revenue from oil and gas. Complete our web form for a free e-book.

Profits from oil and gas in the United States are drawing more and more investors. Because there is eight times more oil available in the U.S., than the next largest producer, it makes sense to invest in re-working old wells and tapping new wells to gain profits from oil and gas. Foreign oil and gas sources cannot possibly produce the profits from oil and gas that can be found right here in Texas oil basins.
Landmaster Partners is dedicated to realizing the highest possible profits from oil and gas for its investors. Tax benefits of oil and gas can also dramatically reduce tax liability. There are various ways to realize profits from oil and gas investing. We stand with all our clients to educate them and partner with them for success. The range of available investment opportunities cover low, middle and high risk options. Diversifying your investment portfolio makes earning profits from oil and gas a lucrative source. In a relatively short period of time, a balanced oil and gas package can create wealth and stability overall.
Higher risk investments will obviously incur greater losses, but their potential to gain profits from oil and gas is also greater. Another option for attaining profits from oil and gas is drilling new exploration wells. While a relatively high risk of loss is presented, it's again a top-performing method for seeing greater gains fairly quickly.
Drilling development wells present some risk of total loss, but is a more conservative option to realize profits from oil and gas. Wells that are located in close proximity to an existing producing well are drilled. Step-out wells are wells where an operator attempts to determine the direction of the oil formation. In-field wells are drilled between two or more existing oil wells. Typically, these wells do not provide the highest rate of return, but still have some risks for loss.
While re-entering old wells presents some risk of loss, it's still a viable option As with re-working existing wells, this type of investment could yield a substantial return because you see what is in the well prior to investing your cash, and you don't pay to drill it. There are still several risks with re-entering old wells.
Re-working existing wells presents and purchasing existing production presents low to moderate risk for loss, but provide for long-term profits from oil and gas. Returns and risk varies by project. Put your dollars to work in these types of wells for more stable, secure growth in profits from oil and gas.

Tax benefits of oil and gas can dramatically reduce tax liability. Also useful as a tool to create wealth, one would miss one of the most solid investment opportunities to look past oil and gas investing. There are many benefits when you invest in oil and gas. Profits from oil and gas come from many diverse areas. The more you know about your investment, the better your chances are to increase financially.
Several types of investing programs are available with Landmaster Partners. The range on such packages covers low to high risk investments. When a package is put together for our clients, we recommend diversifying your dollars over each type investment to create the most earning potential. Having a balanced oil and gas investing portfolio ensures gains, even when higher risk investments incur losses. Since every continent on the earth consumes these commodities, earning potential increases exponentially over time. Even with the inception of alternative fuels, it is unlikely that gas and oil will ever be completely replaced. This means revenue from oil and gas will be available for a good, long time. The following investment types are available.
Drilling new exploration wells presents a relatively high risk of total loss.
These are also referred to as "wildcats". These are wells that are drilled in unproven areas and have a high degree of risk as many result in being a dry hole.
Drilling development wells present some risk of total loss.
These wells are drilled in close proximity to an existing producing well. A "step-out" well is one where the operator is attempting to determine which direction the oil formation is going. There are also "in-field" wells that are drilled between two or more oil wells. These wells usually do not offer a large rate of return and still have some risks for loss.
Re-entering old wells presents risk of some loss. As with re-working existing wells, this type of investment could yield a substantial return because you see what is in the well prior to investing your cash, and you don't pay to drill it. There are still several risks with re-entering old wells.
Re-working existing wells presents risk of some loss.
One: you see what each well holds before you invest cash.
Two: The investment required to work the well is considerably lower, because it has previously been drilled. You benefit from the production in a newly-formed pay zone. Some wells produce for over 50 years, which means your investment pays out for decades to come.
Purchasing existing production presents a very low risk of any loss.
This type of investment carries the lowest risk, highest initial investment, and the slowest return. Investors buy into producing wells. Consult with a certified petroleum engineer on this type of investment before buying, and confirm the remaining life of the production. These wells also require occasional maintenance and repairs.

Now is the time for oil and gas investing – Landmaster Partners, Inc.
Oil and gas investing in low-to-moderate risk ventures generates high returns, and that's our goal for investors at Landmaster. Educating potential and active investors enhances the ability to earn above and beyond static investments. The scope of the program offered by Landmaster Partners is to invest in low-to-moderate risk ventures and generate those high returns for our investors.
Landmaster primarily focuses on re-evaluating oil and gas wells for reserves left behind by previous owners, new developmental drilling opportunities, and expanding Landmaster's oil & gas lease holdings. Below are varied types of oil and gas investing programs are shown below. Programs for reworking existing wells and purchasing existing production are the types of programs which are owned and operated by Landmaster.
The West Texas area is the strategic target of Landmaster for heavily-weighed reasons. Rated at the top, the return verses risks taken are all considered when selecting drilling sites, both established and future. West Central Texas is the Eastern Edge of the Permian Basin, meaning the same pay zones found in deeper western wells are more accessible in the area where we operate. These prolific pay zones are stacked one over another, instead of scattering.
Landmaster is determined to operate in this area to gain access to the vast count of wells drilled over 60 years. Necessary, greater well control is possible when our company works on the ground where the wells are located. This means mapping potential pay zones can be achieved by thoroughly comparing productive wells with supposed dry holes in the same area. What are considered dry holes are still investigated, because often times the price of oil determines whether a well is completed as a producer, or repaired should it suffer mechanical problems, or both. With oil pricing above $100 per barrel, many wells on these fields are now very profitable for production.
While the main focus of the mission of Landmaster is to align investors in low-to-moderate oil and gas investing ventures, an array of investment programs are designed to offer something to all of our investors, regardless of need for streamline or diversity. It's the right time to get into oil and gas investing, and Landmaster offers premiere services to appeal to a multitude of investors all over the world. Making the decision to invest now in oil and gas ventures can only supply a larger revenue stream in the future. Choosing the right program or bundle of investments programs is critical to your portfolio's success with us. Getting involved is just a short form away.

Chuson-ji Temple was built in the later half of the 11th century. It was meant to comfort the spirits of those who died in Tohoku area's ongoing wars at the time. Its purpose was to create a Buddha Land, a sort of paradise in the Buddhist view, in the remote Tohoku region which was then called Michinoku. Currently, the only remaining building that still conveys Chuson-ji Temple's original appearance is Kannado, which is praised as a piece of art. In 2011, "Hirazumi's cultural heritage" which includes Chuson-ji Temple was registered as a World Heritage site.

Cincinnati Takes Most Social City Title for Mashable's Social Media Day
By Chelsea Stark 2011-06-28 11:39:12 UTC
In honor of Social Media Day, we asked you to tell us why you think your city is the most social in the world. After reviewing a number of thoughtful submissions, we chose Cincinnati, Ohio, to take the cake.
It was a tough choice, but a very convincing video submitted by Blair Ward put Cincinnati at the top. The video mentioned the city's famous Twitter stars like @ochocinco and gives a shout out to the Cin-Day Social Media Club.
"Cincinnati is a mid-sized city made-up of distinct communities — we love to love our city together. Social Media is one way we connect," said Anne Castleberry, who is organizing Cincinnati's #SMDay event.
Anne and Blair will be receiving a prize pack full of Mashable goodies, including T-shirts, bandanas and stickers for their event. If you're in Cincinnati, we encourage you to join them for their Social Media Day celebration.
In addition to Cincinnati, thousands of cities worldwide are participating in #SMDay on June 30. Here's a list of the top 10 Social Media Day Meetups by RSVP. (And these are only events on Meetup. We know many of you are organizing celebrations through Facebook or Eventbrite as well.):
Thanks to everyone who participated in our contest for telling us about your social media communities — that's what we're happiest to see. If you didn't get a chance to share why your city is the most social, we encourage you to do so in the comments below.

Q: How can I force the driver to click on a pop up on a page which has not completed loading I'm using java with selenium IEDriverServer. I would like to know if is possible to click on a pop up on a page which has not completed loading. When I get the pop up, my code is not running until I click on Ok on pop up.
Thanks.

A: It's not possible to click on element that is not visible.
But you can add the following config, it will tell the driver to implicitly wait for elements:
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

A: As you mentioned if is possible to click on a pop up I presume it's a JavaScript Popup.
Essentially, until & unless the synchronous/asynchronous JavaScript/AJAX Calls gets executed completely the Page Loading won't be complete. Hence, invoking click() method while Page Loading may not fetch optimum results.

Q: How to invoke non-default constructors when using vector resize? Suppose I create a class
class Foo
{
public:
    Foo(int numofCars, int someValue);

private:
    vector<Car> carList;
}

Foo::Foo(int numofCars, int someValue)
{
    carList.resize(numofCars);
}

My understanding is that after resize the vector (carList was an empty vector) will become a list of Car objects by calling the default constructor.
Can I specify the constructor of the Car object being called? For example, instead of calling Car(), I want to call Car(int Value)?

A: Yes you can. (live example)
carList.resize(numofCars, Cars(42));

see more information.

If you're unwilling to make unnecessary copy, there's a bit complex code.
carList.reserve(numofCars);
for (int i = 0; i < numofCars; i++)
    carList.emplace_back(42);

(live example)
It's probably better, but it's not always efficient - if the cost of "1 creation + 10 copying" is less than the cost of "10 creation". It would be case-by-case.

Q: How to equal Browser capability between Ie8 & Ie7 How do I equal Browser capability between Ie8 & Ie7? How do I solve this problem?

A: Use one of these: CSS reset,  Blueprint CSS,  Reset CSS

A: This resource on HTML5 Cross Browser Polyfills should point you in the right direction.

A: I personally like to use dean edwards scripts: http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/


How can I make sure a sidebar opens when you start a new browsersession, even if the user closed it on the previous session?
I have looked at this topic but I want to implement a sidebar (AddinExpress.IE.ADXIEBarModule) instead of a tool bar (AddinExpress.IE.ADXIEToolbar).
Unfortunately, there's no way to do this for an IE bar.
I'm sorry for a non-complete reply. You can achieve this if you use a BHO + IE Bar combination. Please see Download Manager sample add-on for IE. When you click on the context menu item, the code shows the IE bar if it isn't shown.
You use Bars and Toolbars properties to get a collection of <Item> objects (ADXIEBarItem or ADXIEToolBarItem); every <Item> object provides access to an <Obj> property (BarObj or ToolBarObj), which returns an appropriate Add-in Express class type (ADXIEBar or ADXIEToolbar).
I will also create a bunch of screenshots and a short on-screen video of my debugging problem (other thread). Unfortunately even attach to process does not solve the issue.

Q: Starring any message in the C++ room makes list of starred and pinned messages disappear Just now, whenever someone stars any message in the C++ room, the list of starred and pinned messages disappears.
This seems to happen across all browsers for all currently active participants in the C++ room.
None of us is in any other room, so we don't know whether this is all across chat.stackoverflow.com.

A: For some reason (yet to be determined) the clock on the database server was ~20 minutes off. Since the sorting of the starred messages is based on the hacker news hotness algorithm, which as a factor includes the message age raised to a fractional power, to be precise:
(age in minutes + 2) ^ 1.5

the database threw a floating point error when the message had a "negative age" due to the clock being wrong (raising to a non-integer power only works for non-negative bases).


How can we use portal logon tickets for authenticating an Gateway service.
For example, from a portal UI5 iview how can i access netweaver gateway service without providing user name and password in the Gateway URL.
Please let me know if any one has idea on this.
I think that you need to see this as a generic SSO topic and not related to Gateway. Your Basis team should be able to do it. Here are the steps from a high level.
1. Configure your Portal server/Application server to issue SSO ticket upon authentication.
2. Configure the Gateway/ABAP server to trust the portal server and accept the SSO ticket.
Thanks Krishna. Let me try when i get a chance and will update.

Men's Soccer Picked Fourth By America East Conference Coaches
Cambridge, Mass.- The UMBC men's soccer program was selected to finish fourth in the 2012 America East Conference race by the league's eight head coaches.
The Retrievers placed fourth in the conference in 2011, earning a place in the six-team postseason tournament for the third consecutive year. UMBC had played in the league's title game in both 2009 and 2010, winning the championship and advancing in the NCAA Championships in 2010.
America East men's soccer champion two of the last three years, Stony Brook University is favored to finish the regular season atop the league standings. Stony Brook received six of seven possible first-place votes from the league's head coaches who were not permitted to vote for their own team, en route to 48 points. Boston University, last year's regular-season champion, was selected second after garnering 43 points and the other two first-place votes.
University of Hartford, last year's runner up, came in third with 32 points, followed by UMBC, just one point behind in fourth with 31 points, and University of Vermont in fifth with 22 points. University at Albany and Binghamton University tied for sixth place (17 points) while University of New Hampshire rounded out the eight-team poll (14).
The 2012 campaign kicks off next week with all eight teams opening on either Aug. 24 or 25. Six teams will qualify for the 2012 America East Championship, which begins with quarterfinal action on Saturday, Nov. 3 and continues with the semifinal round on Wednesday, Nov. 7. The winner of the tournament, which will be decided on Nov. 10 or 11, receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship, where the league champion is unbeaten in the last two years (1-0-2) and has advanced to the second round in eight of the last 11 seasons.
UMBC opens the campaign at home on Sat., Aug. 25 when they welcome Radford to Retriever Soccer Park at 7:00 p.m.

Jack believes firmly in the power of play, focus and hard work to make innovative circus theatre that can lift up an entire community.
By far, however, the best thing about Night Flight is the teachers. I've been to other aerial studios, and while I have great respect for all of them, the level of experience and professionalism at Night Flight simply can't be matched. My teachers are some of the most inspiring women I've met, and they are extremely skilled at working at your level, constantly challenging you and constantly encouraging you. You'd think that gorgeous, talented, strong amazons like these would be intimidating, but it's quite the opposite: they're some of the sweetest, funniest, most easy-going people you can ever hope to find. That goes for the vast majority of my classmates, as well. I've made many friends in class, and we are always laughing, shouting encouragement, and applauding each other's successes.
Nicole B, Student
I love the friendly and encouraging atmosphere, where everyone in the classes cheers for everyone else. The instructors are always warm and supportive, happy to provide additional instruction and cheerleading as necessary. I've found something I truly love that I thought I would never have a chance to do and I think everyone should have that same opportunity.
Audrey C, Student
What a fantastic place to go for a workout! The instructors are super nice and so talented. The atmosphere is relaxed and playful. Since becoming a student, I have noticed crazy changes in my body. My core and upper body are stronger than ever.

[News] Why Openoffice.org is Trouble for Microsoft's Office Monopoly
Subject: [News] Why Openoffice.org is Trouble for Microsoft's Office Monopoly
Openoffice 3.0 vs MS Office

OpenOffice 3 - Nice! - Review
| The latest version of OpenOffice is out. And it's nice.
| This is a small, pleasant review of the latest version of the most popular
| free, open-source office suite, going by the name of OpenOffice 3.
| I have not managed to get OpenOffice to crash, stall or sputter. It's solid
| as a rock. The feeling is that it also runs faster. It may be the new,
| streamlined interface, but the professional tranquility that OpenOffice 3
| oozes really makes you want to use it.
| It's getting better and better. Considering it's free and will happily do
| almost everything Microsoft Office can, you'll be hard-pressed to skip this
| one.
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/open-office-3.html
Microsoft: OpenOffice better than Google Apps
| When pushed, Ballmer added that he felt Google has 'very primitive'
| capabilities. "We have better competition today than Google Docs and
| Spreadsheets. We get more competition from OpenOffice and StarOffice
| frankly."
http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/microsoft-open-office-a-bigger-rival-than-google-apps-476243
The State of Kedah moves to OpenOffice.org
| A case study submitted to the Open Source Competency Center by the Center of
| Information Technology, Office of the Chief Minister and State Secretary of
| Kedah, has indicated that OpenOffice.org has been installed in 70% of the
| computers in the Kedah state government agencies. There are currently 2,202
| installed seats and by the looks of it, the numbers will just keep rising!

The entire State of Pahang moves to OpenOffice.org
| Its just been made official that the State of Pahang is migrating all its
| productivity suites to OpenOffice.org. This succint memo from the State
| Secretary of Pahang entitled "Perlaksanaan Penggunaan Perisian OpenOffice.Org
| Di Semua Agensi dan Pentadbiran Negeri" (translated: "Implementation of

90 things that are the same in Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org
| I've put together three articles, showing tasks that are the same between
| Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org.
http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/2008/06/90-things-that-are-the-same-in-microsoft-office-and-openofficeorg.html
The Fall of Microsoft Office
| On the same day that the state of New York published a report supporting open
| formats for electronic documents, mighty Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) said that
| it would support the open-source ODF format in Office 2007. Redmond's own
| Open Office XML specification may be heading for the great Recycle Bin in the
| sky, never to come back.
| I can't say that Google or Sun or anybody else just won a bigger share of the
| office software market, and if they did, it won't help their revenue or
| profits directly anyway. But it's clear as day that Microsoft just took a
| serious hit, and the impact may take a long time to make itself felt but it
| will come.
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2008/05/27/the-fall-of-microsoft-office.aspx
Is Microsoft Office in trouble?
| And, now Microsoft isn't hurrying to support its own format, but it is moving
| to support PDF and ODF... Could it be that all those copies of Office 2007
| Microsoft boasts of selling are collecting dust at reseller and retailer
| warehouses instead of being used on office systems? Could users be sticking
| with their older copies of Office and when they do want to move to something
| newer, they're moving to OpenOffice and Google instead?
| Interesting isn't it?
http://blogs.computerworld.com/is_microsoft_office_in_trouble
Microsoft can't support Open XML
| If Microsoft can't give users a compelling reason to switch from their old
| version of Office to Office 14 their cash-flow is going to slow down
| considerably.
http://practical-tech.com/business/microsoft-cant-support-open-xml/
Is Office the new Netscape?
| One of the cornerstones of Microsoft's competitive strategy over the years
| has been to redefine competitors' products as features of its own products.
| Whenever some upstart PC software company started to get traction with a new
| application - the Netscape browser is the most famous example - Microsoft
| would incorporate a version of the application into its Office suite or
| Windows operating system, eroding the market for the application as a
| standalone product and starving its rival of economic oxygen (ie, cash). It
| was an effective strategy as well as a controversial one.
| Now, though, the tables may be turning. Google is trying to pull a Microsoft
| on Microsoft by redefining core personal-productivity applications -
| calendars. word processing, spreadsheets, etc. - as features embedded in
| other products. There's a twist, though. Rather than just incorporating the
| applications as features in its own products, Google is offering them up to
| other companies, particularly big IT vendors, to incorporate as features in
| their products.
http://www.roughtype.com/archives/2008/05/one_of_the_corn.php
Microsoft earnings post-mortem: The cash cows quiver
| I can't help but wonder if the lackluster Windows/Office results also can be
| attributed to Microsoft brass's complete and crazy obsession with Google (and
| taking over Yahoo) has resulted in no one minding the Windows store. Kevin
| Johnson, the head of Microsoft's Platforms & Services division seems to be so
| laser-focused on the online-ad business these days that he almost seems to
| have forgotten Microsoft is still in the software business, too.
| Microsoft execs' claims about walking away from the Yahoo deal are nothing
| more than bluster. A protracted hostile takeover bid is just going to
| distract not just employees in Microsoft's online services business, but
| company management, too. It's not a pretty picture.

In the face of adversity, we shy away.
Do you succumb to pressures?
Do we stop living, accept our lot?
Take it, as that's how it is.
There seems no light at the end.
That today is as good as it gets.
Who never have to suffer, who don't care.
With all the pathetic angst we will rail against.
The hand that is extended.
She said "It's all a mistake.
She said 'Imitation is flattery.
Wishful should be his middle name.
If I jest I am I a jester?
A jiggling and a giggling.
From deep within your belly.
A star jump and a tah dah!
You too know my susceptible bits.
But love, as we most want.
Said she was not affectionate enough.
Said she was exhausted at night needed rest.
I've not time to think.
We do father dad things.
Boy 2 is naughty, broke a vase today.
He said I'll deal with this later.
She said I need you now.
She said Boy 1 has shat his pants.
She said the boys are killing me.
She said there's washing to be done.
He said you are the mother sort it out.
She said I'm doing my best.
She'd taken them all away.
He said I don't know what to do.
She said do something, anything.
When the old lady saw she stopped.
Who wanted to be what she wasn't.
Who never wanted for anything.
Which when it did, estrangement began.
Running from life, spurning the mother's love.
She wanted bigger and better, brighter and righter.
But the spiral had begun.
But the past dictated otherwise.
But life the mother knew was precious.
The old lady mused with a tear on her cheek.
This mother would always love her child.
Mouths engaged, giving so willingly.
But we plan to do our best.
Believing we will find a sure place to step.
The treasure itself is what nurtures us.
Or was it one of my many tales of fancy.
Playing with words random ideas.
Looked out and saw compassion.
I wrote for all and any idle enough to read.
Each day, your words melt my heart.
I am suddenly afraid, is this?
Looks at me with that knowing mother smile.
I am tied down, tubes everywhere.
As a plethora of machines battle to keep me alive.
Looks at me, her eyes light up to see me awake.
Sending me into this hell?
Country girl pretends to love her home.
Country Girl happily ran away from home.
Country Girl stands for innocence lost.
Than the day-to-day hum drum of work and more work.
Saw mediocrity as their life's goal.
It tried to mould me a clone of their lacklustre selves.
All I wanted was to be me.
Financially at the mercy of others.
Wandering the world, being me.
Never seeing me as anything more than me.
I am the real me.

Clarence Seedorf is awesome at singing
Although Jack met Clarence Seedorf earlier in the year on Copa90, what he didn't tell him was how he's actually awesome at singing. That's why he put his version of 'Sitting On The Dock of the Bay' on YouTube
Oh what so you didn't think this guy was cool enough to be a singer as well as an internationally renowned football legend? Well it sucks to be you Mr Doubtfire because in this video you can listen to his delicious vocal tone in a fairly stripped back version of Otis Redding's classic song. Just listening to it makes me wish that I hadn't killed all of those prostitutes last month. If only I'd heard this first those guys would still be ok. OH SNAP YOU DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE GUY PROSTITUTES DID YOU? You're so racist

Q: How to add OAuth2 Server on a CakePHP 3 plugin I am working on a plugin in CakePHP3 and I need to create a simply Oauth 2.0 Server API that allows to do a simple CRUD on the users' table and create sessions when needed.
I have done some research here in StackOverflow and it seems that the best choice would be
https://github.com/uafrica/oauth-server
Now, I have tried to make it work according to the doc in the repository but since it will be a plugin, not the core of the application I do not understand how it is supposed to work and which file I need to update.
Would somebody be so kind to give me the list of steps I need to follow and the actual files that need to be updated?
Many Thanks in advance

A: The uafrica/oauth-server project is woefully out of date. It requires v4.1 of league/oauth2-server, which is now currently at v7.2. Version 5 of that project was completely rewritten and is not backwards compatible with v4.x.
I don't think there's an out-of-the-box CakePHP 3 plugin that works with the current version of league/oauth2-server.
You'll have to either build your own plugin from scratch, or try to hack the uafrica/oauth-server project to get it work with league/oauth2-server.

Hail…Satan? Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has returned with its second season. How does it hold up against its much-hyped debut? Hop on your broomstick, because we're about to take a bumpy ride.
The first of two stages of the 30th annual GLAAD Awards recognizing LGBTQ representation in media took place last night—and for the first time Steven Universe took home an award.
While the heroes of DC Universe's Titans still have an otherworldly, apocalyptic threat to deal with, the team's soon going to be tasked with fending off Deathstroke, one of their most iconic rogues—and apparently, they're going to have a bit of help courtesy of the villain's son.
It's awesome being awesome, isn't it?
Media criticism is messy, and personal. How do we celebrate and critique media made by creators from marginalized backgrounds, featuring diverse casts of characters, without holding those works to different standards than we do less diverse media?
