Changed my mind on the new HvV

Bring back the old mode!! This one isn't fun anymore!

What do you personally like about the old mode? Then after you explain that, type what you didn't like about the old mode.
After that type what you dislike about the new mode. And after that type about what you do like about the new mode.
Let's start with that. Explaining why in detail. It will help your post, as well as the others who participate in discussion within your post.

Great post Dash.

Unbalanced teams make either version horrible. A well oiled machine of a 3-4 person squad will simple tear apart a random solo-player team. This is worse on maps where is harder to regroup.
It doesn't seem like fun on either side of a blow out. A close match is fun in either mode.

Old mode: there's a target and as a team you go after the target and also defend your target as well. What I dislike is the runners you occasionally get
New mode: I like it's basically free for all but after awhile it gets boring and there's not much to do when you face off against the light side Anakin just wipes everyone out and that team usually has the advantage every time

I agree, and I think that has more to do with the spawn system in either mode. If an entire team gets killed, they shouldn't all spawn at separate corners of the map and need to regroup. They should spawn together. Changing spawning would go a long way to improving either mode.
Seriously, explain why?

Much better dude.
Old mode I hated runners and exploiters, as well as respawn abusers. I loved the Objective aspect though as well as team play.
New mode I don't like the low kill count and lack of Objective feel. I do however love seeing almost no system abuse whatsoever. If someone runs, that's fine, Ive got people to slay anyways. If they hide in exploit locations it's the same deal. And if they abuse respawn, they still died anyways, and we'll get them again regardless.

A possible solution is priority targets. One character on each team is worth more tickets to defeat. If he/she is a runner, taking out other members of the team will still hurt them.
I am seeing on multiple threads now good justifications of an option to avoid playing against groups to help with the matchmaking
I made some comments about what I liked about the old mode in my thread: https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/136485/im-really-going-to-miss-the-target-system-not-sarcasm/
I'll quote my post here for your convenience:
Thread title (for context): I'm really going to miss the target system (not sarcasm!)
Where else will you get to have fights like this?
or have a motivation to strategically maneuver a specific opponent into the spot where you want them to be, just like Miyamoto Musashi teaches?
or have awesome, tension filled duels, like this?
I think TDM is mostly just going to be "dive at whoever's closest and beat them silly", which just isn't strategic at all...or the one strategy, "camp the nearest choke point with Anakin/Phasmabossk"
Yes, HvV has problems, but they can be fixed. Timers, team respawns each target round, there are lots of different ideas floating around.
Also, I really don't understand why they can't just add an additional hero mode. Or just killswitch Boba, lol.
It's not like Ewok Hunt is super popular, and Hero Showdown is pretty much useless, since they can't fix the the autokick system not to kick your dead teammate, who's observing the match and very much there, for being idle. Also, I sincerely doubt you can split the playerbase with an additional 4v4 mode.
I seem to recall them promising on a roadmap or CT that they were at least going to do a weekend trial of TDM before making a decision. Not to mention all the folks who don't come to the forums and are chopping away in HvV, blissfully unaware that the mode is about to change. After all, people only show up to complain, not to announce how much they love playing HvV, because people just don't work that way.
I would implore DICE to at least have a poll IN GAME on one of the tiles (like when they link a tile to the forum for Release Notes), so that people who feel strongly about it can register on the forum and vote.
I'm not trying to deny anyone their Hero TDM, nor do I see any reason for them to want to deny us our HvV, if we can have both. If we can't, then the community as a whole should have a chance to speak, not just what could possibly be just a very vocal minority.
I don't like the new one because 9 times out of 10 it's a steamrolling mashfest where the winning team is often either camping or spawnkilling, and people quit constantly, exactly as I've been saying it would be for months, in Lerodemmy's threads, and elsewhere. Noobs don't have a chance, whereas with the target system they had breathing room and time to learn, when they weren't the target, obviously because the focus was mainly on the person who was.
I understand your side of things as well. Because you took time to express/explain it. The only thing I don't understand is why there couldn't have been an option for either version/mode? Don't get me wrong I have wanted the new version 100%. But I didn't mind the thought of having the original version available for those who enjoyed it either
That's all I've been asking for since last September, or even earlier. I've also said that I welcome any fixes they want to make to stop running or gltiching. I don't know why people want to argue against having 2 choices. We obviously don't have a player population issue, regardless of the folks who try to use that as an excuse.
Let them have their TDM and let us have our HvV, and we'll see which one ends up like Hero Showdown, with tumbleweeds rolling through it. Not because we don't have enough players, but because players were given a choice, and they made it. That's how it should've been.
May the best mode win, and if they both have plenty of players, then I was right about that too.
I feel like all of your critiques also apply to the target system. Most of the time it was full parties steam rolling randoms. It was constant 4v1. There were lots of times when a person that was already surrounded by four enemies would become target out of nowhere. There were times where a person already in Vader's choke would become target. People had breathing room when not the target because the ultimate strategy was to zerge the target with your cooldowns, die, and repeat until their target was dead. You could just ignore the non-target because it didn't matter if they killed you as long as you got some damage on their target.
Everyone is entitled to their preference, and I am not against the game having both modes. I just think a lot of you are blowing smoke up our a** and romanticizing the target the system. It was a cheesefest of running, camping on high spots, and glitching.

Fixed to my perspective.
As I've said before, I LIKED being the target. Have you seen my other thread about it? https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/137283/the-last-days-of-heroes-vs-villains/p1
I'll quote one of my replies, to save you a click:
What's preventing those strategic, fun games when everyone, rather than just one person, becomes a target?
I'm still going to maintain the change punishes no one but those with no business in a multiplayer versus mode to begin with.
Literally, keep playing as you always have. That one guy not doing anything just doesn't get to influence points / rounds anymore in the slightest.
Got it all figured out, do you?
Watched my video, you did not?
If you had, you might have realized that I don't only enjoy the challenge of getting past the enemy team to defeat their target. I also very much enjoy having the entire enemy team trying to kill me, as the target.....and to add an additional layer of challenge beyond that, I particularly enjoy the challenge of getting past the enemy team to defeat their target, while having the entire enemy team trying to kill me, as the target.
I think we may have stumbled upon the fundamental disconnect in understanding, on the part of the folks who cry foul at the mere notion that there are people who actually enjoy the target system, and I think it may say more about the mindset of the accusers than it does the accused. You just don't get it.
To paraphrase the words of JFK, speaking about the mission to the moon:
"We choose to be the target in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win."
I've never been a glitcher or a runner.
Admiral_Xen
Neat?
More than 80% of players prefer the new, better system. Only runners, glitchers & bad trolls want the old back.

...and yes, many times my teammates were total buttsauce, but that just made the victory that much sweeter for me when I'd prevail in a 1v2 or 1v3 engagement, while my teammates were off fighting whoever they ran into first..
Bad trolls, look in the mirror buddy. I guess we've expanded beyond runners and glitchers, because you guys love moving those goalposts, whenever it's convenient.
You guys keep saying it's not coming back, but if you were really confident in that stance, you wouldn't keep trolling folks making a perfectly reasonable request.
You're obviously afraid it will.
So keep on trolling. All it does is continue to send a message to DICE that they were wrong to listen to a bunch of whining elitists.
"Let the hate flow through you."
My team had the same spawn location out of the entire map on Kashyyyk. It wasn't too hard to regroup, but maybe that is just specific to that map. Also, this can lead to spawn camping.
Ok lol
Plus that poll is a joke. Nobody was told about it, and anybody could vote on it. They didn't even bother to tell the forum about it, and I'm pretty sure by the time we caught wind of it, was already closed.
Since before the changes, I've been saying that DICE needed to make a poll on the forum, announced on a tile in-game, so the community as a whole could have a voice.
What does DICE do? Put a poll on a social media platform where anybody can vote, so people can use twitter bots or their non BF2 playing friends to skew they results, not to mention ignoring their own official forums.
So now they can pat themselves on the back, and pay lip service to due diligence, done in bad faith.
I'm right and you're wrong, polls won't tell me nothing, I'm the reason! and you should feel bad.


Home > Articles > Any article writing revenue sharing sites still exist?
Back in the day from like 2005-2012 there were quite a few sites where you could write articles based off title requests and earn passive residual income off them. Some even offered payment if they sold your article for usage on another site on top of revenue sharing.
Back between like 2007-2010 I was easily making a few hundred dollars a month off residual income on sites like Associated Content, Helium, and Demand Studios (DS also paid like $30 an article most of the time instead rev shares). Then all of those sites folded.
I was able to move many articles under non-exclusive rights to other sites like Bukisa and InfoBarrel but came to find they eventually "changed their system" kept the articles up but stopped paying revenue shares!
So basically, are there any sites like Helium and Associated Content left?
[**CLICK THIS LINK**](http://np.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=RemindMeBot&subject=Reminder&message=%5Bhttps://www.reddit.com/r/beermoney/comments/bckws9/any_article_writing_revenue_sharing_sites_still/eku7wqg/%5DRemindMe! 1 day) to send a PM to also be reminded and to reduce spam.
Not quite the same but I only have a few articles on Medium and I usually get at least a few bucks a month from them. You can write whatever you want, basically, the model they use is getting paid based on how many paying subscribers "clap"/like an article. The catch is they choose what gets curated into their main categories and the articles that do tend to be the ones that pay out well. Nice semi-passive income stream though.
I had no idea, that's pretty cool. Thank you, I'll check it out, I'd do it.

Home / Non classifié(e) / The Calm Before the Sales Storm!
We're all familiar with the phrase "the calm before the storm" and it's mostly daunting connotations.
It's a different matter entirely, though, in the world of real estate, where the "calm" comes in the shape of the cold white light of VitrineMedia's backlit LED screens …and the "storm" in the form of the sales surge that invariably follows their installation.
That's largely because the light we use, without getting too technical, is 10,000 Kelvin, the Kelvin being a degree of temperature on the Kelvin scale which, in turn, is a scale used to measure the colour temperature of a light.
At 10,000 Kelvin, we're talking cold, white and natural light in every way, oozing feel-good properties and creating an amazingly calming ambience for a guaranteed 80,000 hours – or, with 8,760 hours in a year, a tad over nine years – of non-stop light.
Free from artificial colour, what you see is precisely how nature intended it to be viewed. If you've ever walked past a Marine Reef Tropical Aquarium with all the fish, all the corals and the pretty colours, you'll know what I'm talking about. You're awe-struck; you stop in your tracks and your turn around to take a closer look.
sellers to consider you when contemplating an agency.
Whether you're a country agency looking to display your properties in small format A4 or A3 or a swish boutique agency in inner city suburbia more inclined to larger format branding, our cold white light is ready to enhance the buyer experience, celebrate your really cool space, invite prospects in to say hi, discover what's on offer, find out what's different about you and, most importantly, learn how you might just be the people to provide them with the real estate outcome they so crave.
It's all about creating the environment that encourages people to deal with you, that warms them to you and your organisation, that instils in them confidence in dealing with you. They begin to visualise their property in your window and immediately know that a backlit VitrineMedia LED display offers them the best chance to obtain the best price…and in the shortest space of time.
I say VitrineMedia because there are plenty of cheap alternatives out there that will glow almost as brightly as our products, at least in the short term.
Packed with inferior filaments and overloaded with current, they're running at way beyond capacity and, just like the foolhardy bloke who sprints off Usain Bolt-like at the start of a marathon only to fall back a few kilometres into the race – and fall into a heap soon thereafter – the "el cheapo" will hit the wall at about two years.
Its light will turn a shade of yellow before deteriorating to an off-beige colour and then, you've guessed it…KAPUT!
When you buy cheap, it's suffering you reap – and we all know there is no calm in that.

Clean Air Warriors: Gregory Sotir
Gregory Sotir, Cully Air Action Team
Strategy: regulating the regulators
As part of the Cully Air Action Team [CAAT], Gregory Sotir will be the first to tell you that the Cully neighborhood is one of the most diverse areas this side of 82nd Avenue, and also burdened by an unfair share of Portland's polluting industries. Gregory and his team work to effect change towards cleaner air through any avenue available, and oftentimes that has meant, as he puts it, "putting a fire under DEQ's butt." He emphasizes it's not that regulatory agencies like DEQ have ill-intentions; it's that they have strong mandates on paper but no budget to back it up. More often than not, they are simply stretched thin.
"Legislators do listen, but you have to raise your voice, they have to be able to hear you."
CAAT started as an ad hoc group of Cully-area neighbors who were concerned with the toxic emissions coming from a neighborhood industrial plant that was filling their corner of Northeast Portland with noxious odors. After receiving an inadequate response to their complaint from DEQ, the group joined forces with others in the neighborhood to apply pressure to the company directly.
While DEQ did ultimately give the company a very modest fine for a permitting violation, the bigger victory was that the company, bowing to neighborhood pressure, voluntarily put a filtration device on their machines, which addressed the problem. The lesson here was twofold: many industries genuinely want to be a part of the community and are willing to negotiate; and also, sometimes you have to push your regulators to enforce the law.

Lamar Odom could face consequences from NBA anti-drug program
Posted on August 30, 2013 by Mark Medina
Former Clippers forward Lamar Odom Odom will be required to submit to a mandatory evaluation by the director of the NBA's anti-drug program if the veteran free agent receive a conviction for driving under the influence, according to terms of the league's collective bargaining agreement.
Lamar Odom's problems may be just beginning.
Odom will be required to submit to a mandatory evaluation by the director of the NBA's anti-drug program if the veteran free agent receive a conviction for driving under the influence, according to terms of the league's collective bargaining agreement.
Police arrested him Friday morning on the suspicion of driving under the influence after California Highway Patrol officers saw him moving erratically on the 101 Freeway in Sherman Oaks. CHP spokesman Officer Leland Tang said the 33-year-old Odom was driving well under the speed limit at just 50 mph in a 65 mph zone before he was pulled over at 3:25 a.m. Odom also will have a suspended license after failing several field sobriety tests and refusing to take a blood test or breathalyzer. Odom is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 27.
Odom's arrest coincided with a week-long flurry of reports on his apparent addiction to crack cocaine. Under the NBA's labor deal, Odom could receive treatment for drug addiction if he voluntarily admits using should he receive an invitation to play for an NBA team during training camp. The NBA immediately disqualifies any player that tests positive for any drugs except for marijuana. In 2001, Odom admitted as a Clipper using marijuana after the NBA suspended him for violating its anti-drug program twice in eight months.

In a sign that suggests he may have hit rock bottom, Lamar Odom has Dennis Rodman of all people questioning his recent behavior.
Yes, the NBA Hall of Famer that sparked attention for his colorful hairdos, head-butting a referee and dressing up like a woman has raised his eyebrows at Odom for suffering reported drug addiction and marital problems with reality television star Khloe Kardashian. Odom was also arrested Friday morning for suspicion of DUI and will have a suspended license for failing several field sobriety tests.
"I just don't understand when you have so much money that you're that bored that you really have to go to that extreme," Rodman said in a video interview with Huffington Post Live. "The sad thing about it is the fact that he's not a bad guy. He used to come to my restaurants, clubs in Newport Beach a lot. He's a good guy."

Panel on Time Warner Cable SportsNet provide outlook on Pau Gasol's season

No longer will Pau Gasol's effectiveness on the Lakers hinge on if the team features him enough on offense. With Dwight Howard's departure to the Houston Rockets via free agency, Gasol is expected to return as the second option behind Kobe Bryant, a formula that helped secure three consecutive NBA Finals appearances and two back-to-back championships?
Will that prove enough for Gasol to have a breakout season? That became a topic of discussion on Time Warner Cable's Access SportsNet Thursday night where analyst Dave Miller, 710 ESPN's Beto Duran and I looked into all the variables surrounding Gasol's play.

Kobe Bryant jumps 40 feet off a high dive
If I can run. I can jump #justdoit #40+ #vinovine https://t.co/CcH3eUCJfl
— Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) August 30, 2013
Kobe Bryant remains determined to prove everyone wrong. He wants to prove he can return from a torn left Achilles tendon and still play at an elite level. He wants to prove that the Lakers can still win an NBA title despite persisting questions surrounding their health, old age and significant departures in Dwight Howard and Metta World Peace. And judging by the first vine post, Bryant also wants to prove that nothing surrounding his rehab will inhibit him one bit.
As shown in the video above, Bryant took a 40-foot plunge from a high dive into a pool recently, a fairly risky and potentially painful move for someone rehabbing his Achilles tendon.

Poll results show Lakers fans still optimistic about NBA championship
Despite the Lakers fielding plenty of uncertainty regarding health and age, a plurality of fans voted in a Los Angeles Newspaper Group poll that the Lakers will win the 2014 NBA championship. (Ezra O. Shaw /Allsport)
It appears that Lakers fans are in the second stage of grief.
First came the shock surrounding the Lakers' 2012-13 season unraveling in every way imaginable. A star-studded lineup featuring Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace believed as a championship contender morphed into a team falling out of the first round, riddled by overlapping injuries, competing agendas and a swift coaching change. Now it appears Lakers fans are reaching denial. The Lakers field plenty of uncertainty ranging from health concerns surrounding Bryant (Achilles), Gasol (knees) and Nash (hamstring), departures to key defenders in Howard (free agency) and World Peace (amnesty provision) and a star-studded Western Conference (Oklahoma City, Clippers, San Antonio, Golden State, Houston). Yet, a 31.85 percent plurality in a recent Los Angeles Newspaper Group poll voted that the Lakers will win the 2014 NBA championship.

Now more than ever, the shoes Kobe Bryant wears could play a large part in his success.
That's why in the midst of rehabbing from his torn left Achilles tendon, Bryant had Nike custom-make a pair of shoes so that he'd have a comfortable fit without compromising his recovery process. Meanwhile, "Kicks on Fire" released a teaser on Bryant's "Pit Viper" edition of the popular "Kobe 8's." Beyond the commercial appeal Nike provides, Bryant has frequently lauded the shoe because of the light fit that allows him both to move with ease on the court while providing enough protection and comfort.

The Clippers don't plan to add Lamar Odom to their roster, according to a league source familiar with the team's thought process. Credit: (Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports)
This hardly seems to be the episode Lamar Odom wants aired out on reality television.
Amid reports that Odom has suffered from drug addiction, it appears fewer and fewer teams are interested in his services. After planning to officially sign veteran forward Antawn Jamison Wednesday at the veteran's minimum worth $1.4 million, the Clippers no longer are interested in resigning Odom, according to a league source familiar with the team's thought process.
Once Jamison's signing becomes official, the Clippers will have 14 players under contract, one player shy of the NBA's imposed maximum number of players allowed on a roster. But the Clippers plan to fill out the last roster spot at some point during training camp, which begins in late September, according to a source. The Clippers would welcome Odom to training camp, though it remains unclear if he'd be interested in just that. Odom's agent, Jeff Schwartz, hasn't responded to numerous requests for comment regarding his client in recent days.
The Clippers had wanted to retain Odom at the veteran's minimum despite spending the first half of the season out of shape and averaging four points on 39.9 percent shooting and 4.4 rebounds. Those numbers marked his lowest statistical output in his 14-year NBA career. But the Clippers' sentiments quickly changed amid reports of Odom's drug problems and after agreeing to terms Monday with Jamison.

The images surrounding Pau Gasol helping the Lakers toward winning an NBA championships remains a distant memory. In the past three seasons, other sights stick out. The Lakers forward has become trade bait after the team's unsuccessful attempt to trade him in the original Chris Paul deal. Gasol has tried to overcome reduced roles to accommodate Andrew Bynum and then Dwight Howard. Gasol hasn't been fully healthy, either.
Yet, Gasol seemingly has nine lives when it comes to his time with the Lakers. With Howard's departure, it's presumed Gasol will have a larger role in the post, a key factor that ensured the Lakers to three Finals appearances and two NBA championships. But an important variable remains unanswered in determining how successful Gasol becomes next season in what will be the last year of his contract worth $19.3 million.
His health.

This is part one of a two-part series on reinventing higher education fundraising. Read part 2 here.
Increased pressures across a more complex and challenging landscape demand a new approach to higher education fundraising. As overall enrollment numbers decline, student retention is stagnant, and traditional revenue sources are no longer predictable, individual philanthropic support for higher education is more important than ever to ensure financial stability and long-term growth.
But just as higher education leaders are looking to advancement to close the funding gap, those on the fundraising front line are facing their own set of serious challenges. Alumni participation and individual giving to institutions are declining, and the public has raised questions about the value of higher education. Simultaneously, foundations and gift officers are being asked to raise much more—with either flat or only minimally increased budgets.
Fundraisers need to do much more with the limited resources they have. In this setting, perhaps the harshest reality of all is this: traditional, "tried-and-true" fundraising methods won't be enough to address new challenges in higher education or the increased demands on advancement professionals.
As pressure mounts to bring in more fundraising dollars more quickly, donors are becoming more difficult to acquire and retain due to 1) increasing competition, 2) a changing communication landscape, and 3) the population's shifting behaviors and preferences when it comes to giving.
Contrary to popular belief, an institution's biggest competitor for donors and dollars is not other colleges and universities, nor is it the 1.5 million charities now active in the U.S. If it were only that simple! The true source of competitive pressure in today's world are the consumer marketing giants like Amazon who continue to lead the charge in more sophisticated, data-driven, channel-optimized, and highly tuned communication to the same population that colleges and universities are trying to reach. These retailers have set the bar very high and continue to push it skyward with advanced targeting, big data, and continuously tested user experiences.
The true source of competitive pressure in today's world are the consumer marketing giants like Amazon who continue to lead the charge in more sophisticated, data-driven, channel-optimized, and highly tuned communication to the same population that colleges and universities are trying to reach.
Donors, like the rest of us, now expect this same type of interaction with any type of brand they encounter—even their alma mater. When institutions fall short, their message falls flat, and their attention falls away, taking their discretionary dollars with it. Gone are the days of alumni feeling duty-bound to give back to their institution.
Of course, the competition not only comes in the form of highly-optimized and personalized experiences, but also in the sheer volume of messages and offers.
Some organizations are already catching on to individualized marketing, the attention economy, and high-quality storytelling. We are now at the tip of the iceberg as we see major nonprofits and foundations start to modernize their approach to targeting, engaging, and soliciting for philanthropic support. The reality is that the only way to beat them is to join them. It's time for higher education fundraising to move more quickly to adopt these modern marketing tactics to remain relevant and produce results—or be left in the dust.
Compared to just one year ago, Americans are now spending 60 percent more time on smartphones creating and consuming information on websites, email, social media, streaming video, and more. By 2019, 246 billion emails will be sent per day. It's no surprise that the number of channels and the volume of information being sent has exponentially grown in the last decade. This represents a challenge in a more crowded arena with more fragmentation of ways to connect with donors.
Successful fundraisers will need to meet donors where they are—and on their terms—to make the connection that will lead to engagement and, ultimately, a gift.
Compounding this is the incredible power of choice. Donors now drive their own communication by selecting the modes and filters that suit them. It's important to remember your audience is now in control of the message and how you reach them. They decide when they want to be contacted, by whom, through which channels, and on what topics.
With this in mind, successful fundraisers will need to meet donors where they are—and on their terms—to make the connection that will lead to engagement and, ultimately, a gift.
While core motivations for giving have not changed dramatically—donors still give for primarily social, emotional, and personal reasons—donor expectations and giving preferences have evolved. We live in an age of unprecedented personal expression and transparency, and this has transformed higher education fundraising strategies.
To truly connect with donors and inspire them to support the programs that are most meaningful to them, you need to speak directly to them—and then let them talk back. This means getting extremely clear on the message you're trying to send and personalizing the experience to make it incredibly compelling and relevant to that individual. Now more than ever, the key to more effective communication is relevancy.
To truly connect with donors and inspire them to support the programs that are most meaningful to them, you need to speak directly to them—and then let them talk back.
When your emails and other communications are more personalized and specific, they tap into the identity of the donor and are instantly more relevant, interesting, and authentic.
A fundraiser's job relies heavily on the ability to definitively answer the question, "Why me?" You can't do that with blast messaging and generic segmentation. For today's donors, only a highly personalized, relevant, and interactive experience will break through the competitive noise and hold their attention.

Jamaicans deported by Home Office go into hiding fearing for lives

Number of people who were on Tuesday's flight from UK concerned about gang violence
As many as seven of the Jamaicans who were deported on a Home Office charter flight on Tuesday have gone into hiding in fear for their lives, the Guardian has learned.
In interviews, three of the 17 who were forcibly returned to Jamaica on Tuesday said they fear they will be targeted by gangs if their whereabouts become known. They said they were staying in secret locations and were afraid to go outside.
One of the men, Rupert Smith, said he was aware of a total of seven deportees who were in hiding and fearful of being the victims of violence if they were to live openly. The Guardian confirmed the names of the men he identified as having been on the flight.
All of those returned believe their lives are in danger in Jamaica. Some have previously received threats from gangsters or have family members who have been threatened.
"At least seven out of the 17 on the flight are in hiding," Smith said. "I had to leave my family and my kids behind. The Home Office say we are violent and dangerous. I got into a fight with someone who was behaving in an inappropriate way towards my daughter and have one conviction for actual bodily harm.
"Some of those on the flight committed a single crime many years ago and have been living in the community ever since. My lawyer in the UK is still working on my case and I hope I'll be able to return to the UK."
The Home Office is rumoured to be planning a second charter flight to Jamaica next week for approximately 50 Jamaicans who were taken off this week's deportation flight after an eleventh hour court of appeal ruling in their favour. The ruling said they should not fly as they had not had five working days of access to their lawyers because of problems with the phone signal at two detention centres close to Heathrow airport – Colnbrook and Harmondsworth.
There are also several detainees at Brook House near Gatwick airport who won a reprieve from flying on this week's charter flight following individual legal actions by their lawyers. They fear they might be deported on a future flight.
One of the men who was on the deportation flight, who asked not to be named, said: "I'm stressed to the bone by all this. I don't want anyone to know my location and I haven't even been able to break the news to my kids yet that I've been deported. My lawyer in the UK told me he was hopeful of stopping my flight so when they came for me in the detention centre I didn't even have time to collect my things together. I arrived here with no spare clothes."
A third man, Junior Kerr, who has a conviction for grievous bodily harm, said that he was also in hiding.
"They took me to Doncaster airport in a prison van in a cage. I believe my life is in great danger here so I have to remain inside the house where I'm staying. I can't leave at all. I can't bear being away from my kids."
Kerr's partner, Ruschell Robinson, said that the couple's children were devastated about being separated from their father.
"Junior has been out of jail for two years and he has been a model citizen since then," said Robinson.
"He's a mentor to our kids and to others. Our seven-year-old son is crying all the time and our nine-year-old daughter is refusing to eat and is hardly saying a word."
Sonia Phillips, partner of Elvis Dunkley, who was on the charter flight, said she and her children were struggling without Dunkley, who was convicted in 2003 of a drugs offence.
"I'm disabled with arthritis and back problems and Elvis did everything to look after me and the children," she said. "My 18-year-old son is now having to take our younger children Jacob and Savanna, who are five and six, to school every day as I'm unable to do this. I can't break the news to them that he's been deported so I've told them he's gone on holiday.
Toufique Hossain of Duncan Lewis solicitors, who issued judicial review proceedings to try to halt Tuesday's charter flight, said that the legal action was continuing.
He said: "We continue to pursue our legal challenge on several grounds including our clients' clear submission that they ought to remain in the UK and their deportation orders ought to be reconsidered pending the government's review on foreign national offenders."

Below is a guest post on the important subject of getting your bathroom properly lit. Like any other room, the bathroom should have layers of lighting to use that is separately switched depending on the functional needs of the space at any given time.
Your day starts in your bathroom. Why settle for anything less than the best? Unfortunately, most bathroom lighting is completely neglected, leaving the room feeling sterile or depressing — and not allowing yourself to see you in good light. Instead of simply accepting it as it is, use these ideas to light your bathroom to give you a bright start to your mornings.
How many bathrooms have lights directly on top of the mirror? While ceiling lights are perfect for providing good visibility, they're hardly romantic or helpful when you have to groom up close. Because of the stark shadows they create, applying your make-up or shaving your face can be extremely hard to see. Instead, turn to lights that fit on the sides of the mirror. These include sconces, bath bars and vanity lights. They are far better for lighting the face in a way that lets you successfully groom. If there happens to be no room for side lighting, opt for a horizontal vanity light to fit across the top of the mirror. The best are those with bulbs of different shades to maximize clarity.
Another way to spruce up the bathroom is to mimic natural light. Even if you have a window, the sun may or may not ever stream into the bathroom. Aside from this, daylight is what will reflect off of your clothes and hair so trying to capture its essence is important to making sure you are ready to take on the day. For this choice, you'll want to invest in white shades that are clear, frosted and any other option. This, however, will depend on the type of bulb you use. The varying kinds render colors differently so not all "white" categorizations can be trusted. For LEDs, go for temperature ranging from 2700K to 3000K. Compact fluorescent bulbs should always have a color rendering index at or above 90 and should have the same temperature range as the LED. Finally, incandescent bulbs must be labeled "white" or have the previously indicated temperature range.
Finally, it's important to remember that the bathroom is not always a room used for getting ready for the day. In fact, it is often used for bubble baths and other relaxing activities. Because of this, you'll want to make sure there are at least two settings for the lights. This, however, can be achieved through more than just extra lighting fixtures strewn about. For those who like what they have, install a dimmer. With this, you can control the intensity of the lights. For those that like a lot of decorative additions, bring in flush ceiling lights or small chandeliers to act as relaxed mood lighting. Even more than this, lamps can be brought in, assuming there is enough counter top space.

Home Design That Welcomes The Outdoors IN!
Finally the weather is turning a bit more pleasant. Spring has sprung in much of the country (or will soon……). S Interior Design is based in Arizona and it is definitely time to enjoy the outdoors before the triple digit temperature arrives. Below is a guest post about a home renovation in Australia that fully recognizes the opportunity to meld the outdoors with the interior spaces. Quite beautiful!
Brisbane is blessed with a gorgeous sub-tropical climate that lends itself to an outdoor lifestyle, and the suburb of Clayfield is a perfect example of this desire to spend time connected to nature. So it's not surprising that the owners of this pre-1946 Californian Bungalow requested that Dion Seminara Architecture create for them a home that would fully take advantage of the predominantly fine weather.
The renovation involved an addition to the rear of the existing home which consisted of a dining space and a stunning new kitchen. A deck and courtyard were built at the rear of the home with sliding doors from the kitchen/dining room opening the home up onto this area. The result of this is immediately noticeable as the transition from inside to outside is seamless, resulting in a feeling of freedom and a connection when entertain in the courtyard area.
On those days that are less than ideal due to rain or the occasional cold change, the interior of the home can be closed off creating an intimate space that is warm and comforting.
At the front of the property a new double car port blends into the existing home, with a remote-controlled gate sealing off this area from the street. A new gate and gatehouse added to what already was an appealing streetscape and the re-landscaped front yard now takes on the appearance of a pleasant little courtyard itself.
Inside the little used main bedroom and hallway were originally the main beneficiaries of the prevailing north-east breezes that cross the property. Given that not much time was spent in these spaces they were renovated to create a gorgeous, naturally ventilated new living area that features an abundance of natural light. Creating a truly inviting space that thanks to the air-flow and natural illumination, further enhances the feeling of connection with the great Australian outdoors.
Below is a guest post on the subject of mixing modern and vintage decor style. S Interior Design is a big fan of mixing design styles within a home. By mixing styles of decor you create a unique environment that is a true reflection of your personal style preferences. So mix away, use Grandma's antiques with a modern Knoll chair without fear.
You love the look of modern decor in your home, but you just can't toss out all those vintage pieces that you've collected over the years. Instead of choosing one of these over the other, why not choose them both? It's absolutely possible to blend these two styles together to create a home that feels unique, special and welcoming. All it takes is a little bit of creativity, some time spent experimenting with decor placement and some great pieces that you love.
No longer do homes have to have the "perfect" decorations that are straight from the showroom. Don't be scared to let your personality show by putting unique pieces of decor throughout it. This could be a chest that you picked up while traveling in Spain or a modern number wall clock you found online. When people walk into the room, they should want to explore all the different things that are there. Not only will this make the room more interesting, it will also give you a lot of conversation pieces.
Tip: While your decor doesn't have to be perfect, you should avoid having a lot of clutter that makes your space look messy.
Don't leave your couches or chairs bare. These are the best spots to add modern or unique pillows or throw blankets. For example, if you have replica furniture from a modern designer, then put on some pillows with pillowcases made with Victorian prints or old throw blankets you picked up from an antique shop. Mixing and matching these two things together will balance out the harshness of the modern design with the warmth and richness of the vintage design.
Tip: Make your own pillow by going to a fabric shop and choosing rich fabrics that look like they are from different time periods.
If you have vintage or old pieces of furniture that you don't mind changing permanently, then re-upholster them with modern fabrics. If you do this then you will be left with unique pieces of furniture that nobody else has! The best part is that they will mix the design of the antique furniture with the boldness of the modern fabric.
Tip: Paint the chair if it doesn't match the colors that are in the fabric to make sure that it's a statement piece in the room.
If you have an uneven balance of modern and vintage, then change out something like the curtains. Right away it'll make a big difference with the way your room looks, and will balance everything out quite well. And, if you get a colorful curtain, it will really brighten your room up and add a pop of color that makes it more interesting!
Curved mirrors, new knobs on drawers and wallpaper are all small touches that can make a big impact in the overall appearance of your room. These are also the small touches that give the room more personality and showed that you put a lot of thought and effort into the details!

Q: Are the C formatted I/O functions (printf, sprintf, etc) more popular than IOStream, and if so, why? I've been looking through a lot of code made by others lately and happened to notice everyone uses "printf" style C functions a lot, but the C++ functions learned in school (cout, specifically) don't seem so popular.
Is this a valid observation, and is there a reason for this?
Convention?
Thanks,
R

A: I think taste is one possible reason. Personally I find this:
printf("%8d: %s\n", customer->id, customer->name);

more readable than this:
std::cout << customer->id << ": " << customer->name << std::endl;

There's also the issue with localization. printf makes it possible to change the formatting to suit other languages and UI cultures, which becomes a major chore with iostreams, unless you use something like the Boost Format library.

A: There are several criticisms of the standard stream system -- most notably that it usually is not as performant as C's system, and that they don't allow reordering of the items to be formatted, which can make localization more difficult.
Personally, I use streams for most everything, because they allow me to have a function write to a console, a file, or a string, without having to modify the function.

A: Personally, I use printf over the iostream stuff (like cout) because I think it's clearer.
When you do formatting with iostream, you have to << all sorts of weirdness like setiosflags and setf. I can never remember which namespace all this stuff lives in, let alone what it all does. Even when I do, I'm disappointed with how verbose and unintuitive the code looks.
The formatting options with printf may seem illegible at first, but they're concise, clearly documented in a single manual page, and common to a wide range of languages.
Another advanage is that printf is stateless: Unlike with cout, I don't need to remember which member functions have been called on printf, or which byzantine concoction of flags has been <<'ed into it. This is a big plus for readability.

A: Where I work, we use printf-style formatting.  This is because we used to make heavy use of the MFC CString class and its printf-style Format method.  We've been phasing out MFC, but haven't changed our string-formatting approach.
As for which one is designed better, see Who architected / designed C++'s IOStreams, and would it still be considered well-designed by today's standards?

A: The printf and scanf family functions have two major problems: type safety and memory safety.  It's fairly easy to make a mismatch between the specification string and the variable length argument list that follows.  Also, buffer overruns through scanf are a classic security vulnerability.  In short, don't use them.
The C++ streams offer type and memory safety, and also formatting extensibility.  They're much more powerful and generally easier to use than printf and scanf.
Also, as suggested by ShaderOp, Boost's format library provides the same safety, but makes the old C programmers feel more comfortable.

A: I'm going to guess printf is more widely used because

*

*it was in use for quite a few years before C++ compilers and streams showed up

*C is used more than C++

*lots of I/O was done for things like the Windows API, for which printf is a natural fit amongst Open/Read/Write/Close/etc

Q: How to get two strings from a single input (words separated by a space) I am trying to create two strings from a single input.
So if the user inputs "John Doe" I want to have two strings J and D where J=John and D=Doe.
I tried using the scanner.nextLine() method but that won't let me create two strings from the single input.
So essentially I want to create another string whenever the user inputs a space between words.
If anyone can clear that up for me that would be wonderful! I have just started studying computer science so this is all new to me.

A: To get two strings from a single input (words separated by a space) follow this step.
1) First of all split the string
2) store with index
3) print with single space
public class SpaceRemove {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String s = "The   java      is   best";
        String[] temp3 = s.split("\\s+"); // First step
        String a, b, c, d;
        a = temp3[0]; // Store "The" at index 0
        b = temp3[1]; // Store "java" at index 1
        c = temp3[2]; // Store "is" at index 2
        d = temp3[3]; // Store "best" at index 3
        for (String string : temp3) {
            System.out.println(" " + string.trim()); // Print the split string
        }
        System.out.println("You input: " + a + " " + b + " " + c + " " + d); // Print the result with equal space
                                                                                // between two string.
    }
}

A: What you want to do is split a string.Im assuming you are using java you can simply take your string and do:
String ex = "John Doe";
String[] parts = String.split(ex);
String part1 = array[0];
String part2 = array[1];

Raising money like her majesty
Our one of a kind FUNdraising competition raises money for organizations supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
Since 2018 we have raised over $20,000 for the following organizations.
Seattle Humane Society
Seattle Humane promotes the human-animal bond by saving and serving pets in need, regardless of age, ability, circumstance or geography. What sets Seattle Humane apart is that we are an open-door shelter with no time limits. That means we accept every animal in need of our help — regardless of age, breed, or physical condition. We provide them with the care they deserve for as long as it takes us to find them a loving home. When pets are brought to us requiring medical attention, our veterinary team performs life-saving medical procedures. If a pet requires training to thrive in his or her new home, we provide it. Why? Because our mission is to save pets in need and find them loving homes. As a result of our efforts, in fiscal year 2016/17 we cared for nearly 7,000 pets.
Lifelong AIDS Alliance
Lifelong is a community health organization committed to empowering people living with or at risk of HIV and/or other chronic conditions to lead healthier lives. In the state of Washington, the majority of HIV positive people are regularly taking their medication and are virally suppressed. But long term survivors now face many challenges, including exasperated comorbidities and loneliness from having lost so many loved ones early in the AIDS crisis. Lifelong makes it a priority to not only continue providing top notch HIV services to the community, but to find innovative ways to meet the emerging needs of people aging with the disease.
The Human Rights Campaign and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation together serve as America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve LGBTQ equality. By inspiring and engaging individuals and communities, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBTQ people and realize a world that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all. The Human Rights Campaign envisions a world where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people are ensured equality and embraced as full members of society at home, at work and in every community.
Gender Justice League
Gender Justice League's Mission is to empower trans activists and our allies to fight oppression based on gender & sexuality in Washington State and to create a community where trans people can live their lives safely, true to themselves, and free from discrimination. Our vision is a place where transgender and gender non-conforming people come together to create healthy, safer and engaging ways of life, free from discrimination at the institutional, systemic/structural, and social levels of our society.
Lambert House
Lambert House is a center for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth that empowers youth through the development of leadership, social, and life skills. Lambert House is a national leader in LGBTQ youth community building – the primary prevention strategy for the constellation of risks that disproportionately affects all LGBTQ youth. The risks we address include: social isolation, depression, suicide, alcohol and other drug use, HIV & other STDs, family conflict that can lead to homelessness, survival sex, and school failure. Lambert House provides LGBTQ youth with daily opportunities to make friends with other youth like themselves and with supportive adults. It is this connection with peers and adults that immediately makes life better for LGBTQ youth. Lambert House is where life gets better.

When Apple announced CarPlay support for third-party apps in iOS 12 during WWDC 2018, thoughts immediately turned to everyone's favorite third-party navigation apps like Google Maps, Waze, Sygic and TomTom.
It's taken a few months since then for the balls to really start moving, or at least it seems, but we now have confirmation from all four that we can expect some sort of progress, although perhaps not quite as quickly as we would have hoped.
First up is the must awaited and much requested Google Maps app for Apple CarPlay, the app screenshots of which have been leaked by a beta tester who has been testing the app for Google. The app, as you can see from the screenshot below, will be fully featured. You can check out the full screenshots of Google Maps app for CarPlay here.
Next up is Waze. The folks at Waze have today confirmed that they have their CarPlay-ready first private beta build of the app ready for testers. With iOS 12 set to go public next week, it looks increasingly unlikely that we will see Waze in the App Store and updated for iOS 12 by then, but the news that a beta is underway is encouraging, and even better news is that we are on their beta testing team. It's certainly more than the likes of Google have managed.
As far as Sygic offline navigation maps go, they appear to be further along the process with one of the app's developers saying via Twitter that we can expect an iOS 12-ready version to be available "in a few weeks," although again, that's not concrete information and until we see a press release, we won't be holding our breath.
As for TomTom, things are even worse. Again via Twitter, the official TomTom account confirmed here that a CarPlay update will be ready for users "early next year," giving the company plenty of time to go before anyone can accuse it of being late.
However, with iOS 12 having been announced back in June, there's a school of thought that companies should be beyond the beta testing stage at this point. If Apple can get iOS 12 ready for next week's launch, shouldn't companies like TomTom be able to add support for CarPlay, too?

O foguete Voskhod (11A57), foi um veículo de lançamento descartável, projetado por Sergei Korolev, tendo como base, o Sputnik, foi usado como lançador no Programa Voskhod.

Esse modelo foi uma evolução do foguete Vostok, com um segundo estágio ainda maior, projetado especificamente para colocar sondas em trajetórias interplanetárias. Entre 1963 e 1976 ele foi usado em 299 lançamentos, incluindo 14 que falharam.

Com os problemas enfrentados nos voos tripulados do projeto Voskhod e nas espaçonaves de mesmo nome, ele foi selecionado para efetuar o lançamento de várias sondas e satélites, entre eles os satélites espiões Zenit.

When speed and strength collide
By Ross Edwards | redwards@sentinelandenterprise.com | Sentinel & Enterprise

If the game goes as planned, fans could be in for a real treat when Lunenburg and St. Bernard's take the field for tonight's Thanksgiving Eve contest.
Lunenburg coach Steve Boone and St. Bernard's coach Tom Bingham are each predicting an exciting slugfest. Both coaches recognize that when the Blue Knights' speed and athleticism is tested against the bruising play of the physical Bernardians tonight at Lunenburg High School, the result could be one fantastic battle.
"Our kids really respect those guys over there," said Bingham about the talented Lunenburg squad. "We think Dan Poirier, the quarterback, is just a fantastic athlete. He runs well, he throws well, and probably the most dangerous part is that he can run and throw really well … They're really talented, we're really impressed with their skilled positions. They're the type of offense that can score at any time."
Boone said the respect is mutual, and pointed out that the Bernardians have been able to hold their own in the trenches with some very good teams.
"(Shane) Donnelly, their running back, he's strong," said Boone. "He's a powerful running back running behind their offensive line. That's going to pose a problem for us … They're big and physical, so they're going to come right after you."
A relatively young squad that recently made the jump to Division 1, the Bernardians have impressed Bingham with the way they've risen to the challenge. While the team's record (3-6) isn't anything to write home about, Bingham pointed to recently hard-fought games against top teams like St. Peter-Marian and Holy Name as signs that his players are steadily improving.
"I know each week we're going to go out there and we're going to compete," Bingham said. "I couldn't be more thrilled with the way they played this year — and they've gotten better. I feel like we've gotten better each week … I'm very happy with the effort and the leadership we've had this year."
That leadership stems from the team's six seniors.
Wide receiver/cornerback Max Marek, guard/linebacker Robert Alario, running back/linebacker Dan Lang and offensive/defensive tackles Michael Curtis and Jonathan Grenier have each stepped up as leaders on a team that has benefited greatly from their experience. Also, St. Bernard's got a boost from senior Andrew Ellis, who joined the squad just before the start of the regular season and has made noticeable contributions.
Of course, whenever the Bernardians come up in conversation, the topic of choice is invariably the play of Donnelly. The junior's breakout campaign, supported by a solid offensive line, has forced defenses to key on the run and has taken a lot of pressure off sophomore signal-caller Taylor Lively. As Bingham explained, Donnelly isn't too shabby on defense, either.
"Obviously, Shane Donnelly is a tremendous athlete on both sides of the ball," said Bingham. "Offensively, we like to get him established in the running game quick. And defensively, he's … somebody that you need to account for. I believe he's scored two or three defensive touchdowns for us. He's pretty good."
Donnelly is supported by fellow backs Dan Lang and Vincenzo Seretto, a sophomore who has improved significantly since the start of the season.
Lively has looked surprisingly comfortable behind center as of late, inspiring confidence in his teammates and his coaches.
"He is a young man that we're just really happy with the progression that he's made throughout the year …" said Bingham. "He's turning (out) to be a great leader."
Speaking of great leaders, perhaps no single athlete has been more valuable to his team this season than Lunenburg's quarterback, Poirier.
Poirier led the Blue Knights, who finished last year's season with a 1-10 record, to eight wins in their first nine games before missing Week 10's contest against league foe Assabet Valley with a knee injury.
His ability to either throw the ball or tuck it and run has made him tough to defend. But it has been his decision-making in leading Lunenburg's option-based attack that has made the Blue Knights almost impossible to stop.
"We talk about Danny Poirier all the time," said Boone while discussing his team's successful season. "Obviously, he's the leader … It just comes down to a lot of hard work and discipline on the kids' part. They've been dedicated all year. They're just a great group of hard-working kids."
However, when contacted on Friday, Boone cautioned that Poirier's status for tonight's game was still up in the air.
Should the Blue Knights have to play without their senior leader, there's still hope for Lunenburg. Junior Chris Grammel filled in for the injured star during the game against Assabet Valley. After falling behind through the first three quarters, Grammel threw a pair of touchdown passes in the fourth to force overtime before the Blue Knights were finally defeated, 20-14.
"Chris is a good quarterback," said Boone. "He brings different strengths to the table … Danny is more of an active, running quarterback. Chris throws the ball a little bit better."
No matter who starts under center for Lunenburg, he's bound to be supported by two highly skilled receivers. In their junior years, Alec Hudson and Peter Lekaditis have put up eye-popping numbers for a high school squad. Hudson's versatility — utilizing both strength and speed — and Lekaditis' value as a potential deep threat force defenses to account for the big play.
With so much emphasis placed on the Blue Knights' fleet-footed quarterback and talented targets, junior running back Mike Rash snuck up on some teams early in the year. That's not going to be the case with St. Bernard's tonight, as Rash has been too good lately to fly under the Bernardians' radar.
"Mike's always been a tough runner," Boone explained. "But this year, he's starting to understand the offense, understanding how to set up his blocks, and he's an extremely hard worker. He ran spring track to get faster, he worked out all summer … He came (into the season) in phenomenal shape."
Rash is supported by a gifted offensive line that hasn't really gotten the press it's deserved this season. Given the physicality with which St. Bernard's approaches the game, Boone said, those unsung heroes may end up being the difference-makers if Lunenburg can pull out a victory.
"We tell our kids, this is going to be a game that's going to come down to the linemen …" Boone said. "St. Bernard's is a big, tough, physical team. But on the other hand, Lunenburg has been a big, tough, physical team, too."

Q: Should I do anything about self-deleted spam? I just came across this post:

It's spam (It's a vague statement related to the question, but it's not an answer, and the link points to a commercial sales page). It was posted and instantly self-deleted. My initial thought was: it's a bit strange but it's deleted, so leave it. A few issues though...

*

*Posts flagged as spam are hidden when deleted. In this case it isn't — so I, as a 10k user, can still see this; as can everyone else with the ability to see deleted posts.

*Undeleting a post doesn't bump the question. This means there's nothing I can do about the post now, and the user can silently undelete the answer later without notifying anyone (apart from the "Recently Undeleted" tab in the 10k tools maybe? nope).

*The user has accounts on a bunch of sites with no visible posts but has been around for ~5 months. It wouldn't surprise me if the user has done the same on other sites... Letting it pass as a one off on one site may not seem like much of an issue, but if the user is doing it on a bunch of sites then that's a bigger issue.
OK, so I just found Undeletion, Unbumping and the Potential For Abuse so this is a known issue, which is great, but...
What should I actually do?

A: As a mod this sounds like something we should know about - and certainly seems a bit fishy.
"Suspicious activity - seems like spam, and deleted/undeleted" sounds like a good, terse mod message here.
That said, something like this wouldn't be that noticeable unless one happens to come across it entirely by happenstance. Feels like something that the "system" should be helping us with - maybe autoflagging posts like this rather than bumping?

A: I would flag it for mod attention so the moderators can explicitly delete it as spam.
A spam flag has extra repercussions that regular deletion doesn't have, so that's the best way to let the system know there was a problem (automated spam tracking). Also, moderators should destroy spammers' accounts and potentially alert the mods on other sites.
I came across a case on SFF recently (I only hit 10k a couple weeks ago) where I found spam that had been manually deleted by a moderator. I raised a custom mod flag, explaining that 'This should have been deleted as spam'. It was soon later deleted as spam. (Another time, on a site where I can't see deleted posts, I simply pinged a mod.)

A: Currently, there is nothing the system can do about such users and such activities.
However, adding to Mithrandir's answer, I have seen some such occurrences in the Startups site. And, such users tend to do this in more than one site with the same username.
So, I have raised a discussion regarding that in the Meta site of that site, and brought it to the mods' attention, who took care of the user on that site, as well as intimated fellow mods in the common mods' chat.
So, as we already have a very active community across all sites, the nuisance can be collectively tackled and can be done in a pretty short time too.

Q: Allow drag-select in a ListBox? I have a System.Windows.Form.ListBox with about 150 items in it. Is there a way to enable drag-select? I'm trying various settings, but nothing seems to change it - I can select multiple lines by clicking on them, but only one-by-one.

A: You can set SelectionMode property to MultiExtended.
This way you can select multiple items by dragging mouse, as well using SHIFT, CTRL, and arrow keys to make selections.

Fantasia 2021 Interview: Isabelle Fuhrman, Stefanie Scott on 'The Last Thing Mary Saw'
Stars Isabelle Fuhrman and Stefanie Scott joined The Natural Aristocrat TV to discuss their film 'The Last Thing Mary Saw' during Fantasia International Film Festival 2021.
This Fantasia Film Festival interview contains spoilers.
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT [NIR REGEV]: I just want to mention I was a huge fan of Orphan when it came out. I still remember seeing it on opening night!
ISABELLE FUHRMAN: Awesome! It was so long ago, so crazy. So crazy.
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: Yeah, it was such a cool movie.
STEFANIE SCOTT: Gotta get ready for Part 2!
ISABELLE FUHRMAN: Yeah, Part 2 is coming out!
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: Yeah, I saw on Deadline you'll be back as Esther.
Stefanie Scott as Mary & Isabelle Fuhrman as Eleanor in 'The Last Thing Mary Saw'
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: I want to start off asking about a part towards the end of the The Last Thing Mary Saw, when the father blames himself for the book Mary read. It goes back to the idea of nature or nurture as he appears to believe he nurtured Mary's so-called sinful thoughts by the book. But obviously, Mary and Eleanor do not subscribe to that idea.
What are your thoughts on the father's belief? Whose viewpoint is actually alluding to a much bigger idea if you really think about it.
STEFANIE SCOTT: There's a lot of really big questions in this movie actually. But, that moment you mentioned, I feel the main part of the movie is silence. That's kind of what's killing them is this lack of communication and kind of their take on what God is and how it's all of these rules. And it has to be a certain way.
I guess he started to question it there and they're taught not to question things. That's why we're always in trouble and being punished.
They kind of go outside the norm or they do question things in, what is God? What is good? Would God create something not good if at all?
There's a lot of questions in the movie. I guess it was guilt and shame about doing certain kinds of things also tightens the grip even more.
ISABELLE FUHRMAN: I think it's also when you work to live in an environment where everything's so structured and rigid… If you have, a kid, for example, like Mary, who starts to kind of bridge out from what the approved norm or narrative and family is, then you try to figure out where that could have come from.
And he blames himself because he almost feels as if he planted that seed inside of her, of curiosity through that book. Which in a sense could be true or could not be true.
I mean, I feel like you kind of come into the story where we've already had a relationship. You're entering as an audience member partway through.
But I always felt like, Eleanor and Mary's love comes from such a deep place where it's like, they feel the safest, the most appreciated, the most cared for. The happiest when they're together. That's where they feel free.
To them that's how they define their view on what God is. [Director] Edoardo Vitaletti said he grew up in a very religious family, and he always kind of questioned what is it exactly that we could define as God?
And that to him, God is love. So Mary & Eleanor's love is an act of God in and of itself, but it's not necessarily within this world. As Stefanie said, to them God is a set of rules, a set of Tenets you must follow. In a sense, what you believe is your reality.
Two completely different storylines just kind of branch out and that's what causes the tension that causes this family to fall apart.
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: I thought the use of bread was a really big aspect of The Last Thing Mary Saw because there's all these references to peasantry basically in the chapters. It's utilized as a bargaining chip and even in the last scene the family pounces on the bread on the table during dinner. Does that mean despite Mary's relatively large estate they were still a family of peasants more or less and not of means?
ISABELLE FUHRMAN: I think part of the reason they selected the house that they did was because it was authentic. That house was not built by a company, it was built by people who established that house years and years ago during that time period. And so this family takes a lot of pride in their home and what they have. But at the same time, everything in this house is falling apart on the outside too.
Edoardo [Vitaletti] chose not to like refurbish things in it or fix some of the stuff that was broken. Everything within it, outside of his house is kind of falling apart, but they're so stuck inside of it. Those luxuries like bread, for example, become this sort of gluttonous thing that they get to share in.
Something that they very rarely allow themselves to do because it goes against what they believe is the right way to act. So pride is the theme. I don't think Eleanor has any sort of pride, she's had that completely stripped out, especially by the end.
I think it's Mary's plan to give Eleanor hope that she'll be able to get that pride back for herself. I think that it's really horrible to live in those conditions. You just work constantly and it's not anything easy.
Everything takes time. Washing clothes, baking bread, it all takes time because everything has to be done to their liking and their specific needs. Eleanor is just there for the family, essentially.
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: There was a subtle detail I liked where Mary seems like she's about to go for a kiss right at the beginning of The Last Thing Mary Saw… But then she places her head down on Eleanor's shoulder instead. I was wondering if that was improvised because it's such a gentle, subtle physical action? Or was it always written that way in the script?
STEFANIE SCOTT: It was in the script. But everything in the movie is very subtle and intentional. I think that's just Edoardo [Vitaletti] really having such an amazing vision & knowing every moment counts and means something. It was totally planned by him.
ISABELLE FUHRMAN: It's also easy just to have a kiss. I feel like their love is so tender and beautiful and almost like careful because they never kissed anybody before. That was something we talked about too, that kissing in the chicken coop is probably the first time that they've ever done that.
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: Was the rice torture based on something real where they put their knees on rice? I've never really seen a torture like that before this film.
STEFANIE SCOTT: It's a real punishment that people went through. I mean, thank goodness, not anymore, but I know that people grew up in orphanages…
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: That whole chicken coop scene… I have to ask did you have fun interacting with all the chickens, Isabelle?
ISABELLE FUHRMAN: It was smelly for sure. I love animals! See, the thing is I loved the live chickens. (laughs) I was so happy to get in there and like do my chicken impression and hang out with them.
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: Yeah, I saw you petted one of the chickens in the film.
ISABELLE FUHRMAN: Yeah, I love animals! I mean, I had such a great time with the chickens. It was when we had the dead chickens.
That was when it was horrible because they smelled because they had to be boiled. So that way I can pluck them. I mean, they put something I think on them. So that way they could last for the whole day.
We couldn't have them semi cooked wrong. It was so gross. So I like the live chicken. I was like, totally there for that. Those were fun, fun times.
Rory Culkin as The Intruder and Isabelle Fuhrman as Eleanor in 'The Last Thing Mary Saw'
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: What was it like shooting the scene in the kitchen with Rory Culkin? For me, I think it's one of the strongest scenes in the movie. Especially because he has that speech about how they wanted to burn his face with a candle. At first you feel he's a sympathetic character like them, another tortured soul… Until the whole thing reverse on Eleanor.
ISABELLE FUHRMAN: I feel just because you think you can identify with somebody, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're on your side or that they have your back. Everybody has their own intentions and their own kind of goals in their life… And their own thing that they're dealing with.
When Rory came in, he only worked for a day, he came in just to do that scene. The scenes that he had in his element, we didn't have much time to talk about it, but he's such a fantastic actor and had such a cool idea of what he wants to do with that scene. We just sat down and kind of hashed it out with Edoardo [Vitaletti].
There was such a great back and forth between them. It's interesting like you said that this person comes in and maybe that they can connect. Maybe he understands where she is, where she and Mary are, but it diverges very quickly.
I think that there's something to be said about who you put your trust in and why you trust certain people. We're not all good and we're not all bad. We're just human. At the end of the day.
On right – Isabelle Fuhrman as Eleanor in 'The Last Thing Mary Saw'
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: This is a spoiler. I was really surprised Mary let her brother drink the tea. As an audience, I think there's a natural inclination to believe Mary wouldn't go through with it and yell "Don't drink it!" at the last second.
But she does let it happen! What are your thoughts on that Stefanie?
STEFANIE SCOTT: I know it's a really big moment. It's intense, she has a plan and she follows through with it. It shows not all people are all good or bad. It's a big mix and all these people are projecting their pain onto others.
Mary's parents put Eleanor and her through hell. When they're the ones who are preaching about God and heaven. It's interesting, she lets it happen. I think a lot of people, we don't know why they do certain things.
In that moment she freezes up and she can't do anything about it.
But it's also what are you willing to do for what you want or what you need? You're almost faced with this like question where it is a split second decision of, 'Do I save my brother?'
Do I save myself? That's what I loved about the film. The beauty of the writing in this movie is that you really kind of dance between what you think about these people. I mean, I feel you have a general idea of the family.
There's something off in this family and you really are rooting for Eleanor and Mary, but at the same time, we're not all good.
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: What made you want to take these roles when you initially picked up and read the script? What jumped out at you most?
STEFANIE SCOTT: The script was awesome. I mean, the whole story is completely planned and thought out. I was so impressed by the script and when I met Edoardo [Vitaletti], his vision was epic and I really felt like I connected with him.
I wanted to work with him and that's really as simple as it was for me. He was awesome. The script was awesome and I knew he was going to do something amazing with it and had such an amazing future ahead of him. So I wanted to be part of that.
ISABELLE FUHRMAN: I got an email and they told me Stefanie was going to be in the movie and I wanted to work with Stefanie again! Cause I love her.
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: BFFs?
ISABELLE FUHRMAN: Yeah! (laughs) I read the script and I talked to Edoardo and I was really floored by his vision. You know, when you're selecting what kind of projects you want to work on, making movies, it's a lot like dating.
You have an idea and you hope that the person you meet has the same idea. So it's really cool when you connect & click and you're like, 'Okay, we both want to make the same story. We want to tell it the same way!' It was a super easy decision.
I also loved the idea of doing a movie where I didn't speak for much of that. I mean, that's a really cool challenge as an actor to just be able to be present with someone is talented as Stefanie. To show up every day and really live in that space.
I had never done that before. It's rare to read a script for somebody who doesn't speak very much and silence was such a huge theme in the whole story and script. The silence of the family, not being able to communicate with each other in silence in this world.
The quiet silence of like the time period as it is. Then the silence that these girls are kind of forced to have about their relationship and about how much they love each other because of where they are. Eleanor literally has her voice taken from her.
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: How did it feel to adapt to essentially playing someone who's mute as an actress? It seemed like you'd become as vulnerable as humanly possible at that point. Particularly, when you're crying in the dining room as the family eats.
ISABELLE FUHRMAN: It's a really vulnerable place to be. It's a really strange thing to be kneeling on rice around an entire room full of people in like your undergarments. Those were some of the scenes that we had to film, but that just kind of added to the horror that these girls are going through.
And like what Stefanie just said… This family is creating hell for these young women on Earth in order to hopefully save them from hell in the afterlife so they can go to heaven. It is an interesting switch to play out where it's like, they could just not create this horrible environment for them while they're living in this world.
Let God take care of the rest. But it is really what people believe in and how they will force their beliefs on others sometimes.
THE NATURAL ARISTOCRAT: Thank you!
ISABELLE FUHRMAN & STEFANIE SCOTT: Thank you!

The £8,000 National Churches Trust Community Grant will help New Hengoed Baptist Church in Caerphilly fund a project to install a kitchen and toilet and turn the interior into a community gathering place that is open during the day. It is hoped the chapel will host a wide variety of services that support the area, from counselling and health care to skills training and children's play groups.
The new facilities are expected to be installed in 2019 at the same time as major repairs are carried out to the roof and stonework.
The Grade II listed chapel dates back to 1710, but was rebuilt in 1829 as it had become too small for the local population. Some of the oak interior was salvaged from the original building. The chapel closed in the 1990s but re-opened in 2010. The building now hosts gatherings for young people and takes part in a Fare Share scheme to turn surplus food from supermarkets into meals for those in need.
The church's grant was part of a £429,211 funding payout from the National Churches Trust, the charity supporting church buildings of all Christian denominations across the UK. The latest funding supports a total of 77 churches and chapels in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Broadcaster and journalist Huw Edwards, Vice President of The National Churches Trust, said, 'The UK's historic churches and chapels are a vital part of our national heritage. But to survive, many need to carry out urgent repairs and install modern facilities. The cost of this work is far beyond what most congregations can pay for themselves.
Demand for funding from the National Churches Trust continues to grow, with 583 grant applications received in 2018, up from 473 grant applications in 2017, a 23 per cent increase. In 2018 the National Churches Trust awarded grants of £1.2 million to help 202 projects at churches and chapels around the UK.

Q: Trigger for a Insert that have a defined value I'm newbie with Triggers, but I'm think that I need code one for my case:
CREATE TABLE `events` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `device_id` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL,
  `event_type` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL,
  `event_value` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=4987 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8$$

CREATE TABLE `sequence` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `device_id` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL,
  `values_sum` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL,
  `event_value` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=4987 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8$$

I need when is inserted a row of events table, check if the event_type is 1 or 2
If 1 I need copy in the second table the first data and add every 1 event until
the next insert the event_type will be 2..
I don't know how do that, any help are welcome...

A: Here's some sample syntax that will help get you started.
You'll need to figure out what you are going to store in the values_sum column of the sequence table.
Also, the trigger below is copying the id value from the events table into the sequence table, and that is going to be a problem (i.e. duplicate key exception) if some other process inserts and generates new id values in the sequence table.
DELIMITER $$

CREATE TRIGGER `trg_events_ai`
  AFTER INSERT ON `events`
  FOR EACH ROW
  BEGIN
    IF NEW.event_type = 1 THEN
      INSERT INTO `sequence` (`id`, `device_id`, `values_sum`, `event_value`)
      VALUES NEW.id, NEW.device_id, NULL, NEW.event_value);
    END IF;
  END$$

DELIMITER ;

This example trigger will be "fired" after an insert to the events table. For any row inserted to the events table where the event_type column is a 1, then this trigger will issue a corresponding INSERT against the sequence table. Should be enough to get you started.
