Sports injuries involve a wide array of conditions and are generally acute in nature, although chronic repetitive strain injuries often occur as well. Since chiropractors are specialists in the neuro-musculo-skeletal system it only makes sense that Athletes and 'weekend warrior' sports enthusiasts see a chiropractor to treat their injuries. This is exactly why many of the major professional sports teams and clubs have a team chiropractor. Moreover, professional athletes utilize chiropractic to reduce likelihood of injury, and perhaps even less obvious, to enhance performance by ensuring proper biomechanical joint motion, nerve function, etc. If top-level athletes utilize chiropractic to help them stay healthy and achieve higher goals imagine the benefits we can receive by ensuring a healthy spine and nervous system with a visit to your chiropractor.

Q: Microphone voice playback not working? I'm trying to get mic playback with my Arctis 3 so I can hear my voice as I talk. I've been trying to follow these tutorials:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxW03z-uZBc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj86Y5xvfBM
Basically, the videos say to:

*

*Go to the Speaker Properties

*Increase the slider for the microphone input (like this or this)

By doing so, this is supposed to allow me to hear my own voice with zero delay. But in my output device settings, there is no slider for "Microphone" and nothing happens if I bring the volume up for all sliders:

I have uninstalled and reinstalled my audio drivers from my motherboard manufacturer's website.
Am I doing something wrong here?

A: May be This can resolve your issue If You are using Windows 10...

*

*First Open Sound Control Panel by:

Settings > System > Sound > Sound Control Panel
or Right Click on Speaker Icon on Taskbar and click Sound

*Select your Microphone or Recording Device in Recording Tab.

*Open Properties of your Input Device. eg. Microphone.

*Select Listen Tab and Check  The Checkbox available With message:
"Listen to this Device". and Select your Output Device for Sound Playback. for eg. Default Playback Device, Speakers or Headphones.

Research in my lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms of allosteric regulation. Metabolic and signal transduction pathways need to be regulated to enable organisms to respond to ever changing environmental conditions. Allostery is often a key component to providing this necessary regulation. In fact, Monod (Nobel Prize winner) found allosteric regulation so important to biological functions that he referred to it as " the second secret to life".
At the single protein level, allosteric regulation is the altered functions that result when a regulatory molecule binds to a protein at a site distinct from the protein' s active site. What is not well understood is how the binding of the effector molecule is communicated through the protein to alter the active site. If we could understand the mechanisms within proteins that give rise to allostery, then modulating allosteric properties would be useful to an enormous number of biological applications.
I want to understand both the molecular and thermodynamic mechanisms of allostery. Pyruvate kinase from human liver (L-PYK) is allosterically activated by Fru-1,6-BP and allosterically inhibited by ATP and Ala. This enzyme is also inhibited upon phosphorylation. This system is significant to biology due to the required regulation of L-PYK to maintain liver homeostasis between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. This is also a great model system to study allosteric regulation. Using this system we have the opportunity to compare and contrast multiple allosteric mechanisms.
Instead of limiting our thoughts to a limited number of assumed confirmations, we consider allosteric regulation using thermodynamic arguments that are free of presumed conformational states. This approach also offers the theory for quantifying a "magnitude" of how much allosteric regulation is present instead of treating this regulation as on-or-off; plus-or-minus; all-or-none. At the current time we are focusing our attention on the areas of L-PYK that must by necessity play roles in allosteric regulation: the active site and the effector binding sites. We are using mutagenesis and ligand analogs to answer which coordinating interactions between protein and ligand contribute to the allosteric communication. Based on our previous results, our hypothesis is that most of the coordinating interactions contribute to ligand binding, but only a very limited number of the coordinating interactions contribute to the allostery.
The results from this study will be used to direct future mutagenesis studies as a way of "tracing" which residues in the protein communicate the allosteric signal. To the same goal, we are also initiating D/H-exchange mass spectrometry experiments that will identify what regions of the protein have altered flexibilities due to the allosteric signal.
Current tools we are using in the lab include: X-ray crystallography, solution X-ray scattering, D/H-exchange mass spectrometry, enzyme kinetics, steady state fluorescence, UV difference spectra, protein purification, site-directed mutagenesis, DNA isolation and cloning, hybrid proteins, thermodynamic linkage-analysis, E.coli and yeast protein expression systems, and gene knock-out procedures in E. coli. We also have experiments designed that will incorporate: single molecule fluorescence, time resolved fluorescence, FRET, second derivative spectra, analytical ultracentrifuge, light scattering, filter binding assays, protein denaturation, isothermal calorimitry, circular dichrosim, and chemical labeling.

The Hut Group confirms £4.5bn stock market float
The IPO values The Hut Group at £4.5bn, and it is expected to start trading on the stock market later this month.
// The Hut Group officially confirms plans for a £4.5bn stock market listing
// The IPO would be London's first major flotation since the coronavirus crisis struck
// It is also set to be the biggest stock market listing of a UK firm since 2013
The Hut Group has confirmed plans for a £4.5 billion stock market listing in what will be London's first major flotation since the coronavirus crisis struck.
The online retail company, which owns the likes of MyProtein, Lookfantastic, Illamasqua and ESPA, said today that it would look to raise around £920 million through a share offering of around 20 per cent of its stock.
This values The Hut Group at £4.5 billion, and it is expected to start trading on the stock market later this month.

The firm said BlackRock, Henderson Global Investors and funds managed by Merian Global Investors and the Qatar Investment Authority had agreed to buy £565 million of shares on offer.
The flotation is set to be the biggest listing of a UK firm since 2013 and will tap into surging investor appetite for online retailing amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
It will also be one of the first big floats in London after the pandemic halted the recovering initial public offering (IPO) market.
The Hut Group, founded in 2004, has rapidly expanded as shoppers increasingly turn online for health and lifestyle brands, with around 7000 staff now employed by the Manchester-based business.
The Hut Group owns a variety of its own cosmetic brands – many of which it has acquired in recent years – but also sells third-party brands through ecommerce sites it operates, such as Glossybox.
In 2019, the company saw revenues jump by 24.5 per cent year-on-year to £1.1 billion, with adjusted earnings before tax and interest of £111.3 million.
It told potential investors that its growth has accelerated recently as it saw revenues increase by 35.8 per cent to £676 million for the six months to June 30.
Bosses at the group said the IPO would boost the firm's growth plans by increasing its public profile and brand awareness.

Percy Edward Correll - Biographical Notes
Mechanic and Assistant Physicist - Aurora 1911-1913
Single, a student in Science of the Adelaide University. He joined the Expedition as Mechanician and Assistant Physicist. He was a member of the Main Base Party accompanying the Eastern Coastal Party during their sledging journey. He spent three summers and one winter in the Antarctic, acting as colour photographer during the final cruise of the `Aurora'.
From Appendix 1, Mawson - Heart of the Antarctic
Landmarks named after Percy Correll
Feature Name: Correll Nunatak
Latitude: 6735S
Longitude: 14414E
Description: A nunatak lying within the western part of Mertz Glacier, about 13 mi S of Aurora Peak. Discovered by the AAE (1911-14) under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Percy E. Correll, mechanic with the expedition.

The meteorological instruments, carefully nursed and housed though they were, were bound to suffer in such a climate. Correll, who was well fitted out with a lathe and all the requirements for instrument-making, attended to repairs, doing splendid service. The anemometer gave the greatest trouble, and, before Correll had finished with it, most of the working parts had been replaced in stronger metal.
I remember waking up early one morning to find the Hut unusually cold. On rising, I discovered Hurley also awake, busy lighting the fire which had died out. There was no sign of Correll, the night-watchman, and we found that the last entry in the log-book had been made several hours previously. Hurley dressed in full burberrys and went out to make a search, in which he was soon successful.
It appeared that Correll, running short of coal during the early morning hours, had gone out to procure some from the stack. While he was returning to the entrance, the wind rolled him over a few times, causing him to lose his bearings. It was blowing a hurricane, the temperature was -70 F., and the drift-snow was so thick as to be wall-like in opacity. He abandoned his load of coal, and, after searching about fruitlessly for some time in the darkness, he decided to wait for dawn. Hurley found him about twenty yards from the back of the Hut.
Early that day we had our first experience of the treacherous crevasse. Correll went down a fissure about three feet wide. I had jumped across it, thinking the bridge looked thin, but Correll stepped on it and went through. He dropped vertically down the full length of his harness—six feet. McLean and I soon had him out. The icy walls fell sheer for about sixty feet, where snow could be seen in the blue depths. Our respect for crevasses rapidly increased after this, and we took greater precautions, shuddering to think of the light-hearted way we had trudged over the wider ones.
After the halt at noon the sastrugi became much larger and softer. The fog cleared at 2 P.M. and the sun came out and shone very fiercely. A very inquisitive skua gull—the first sign of life we had seen thus far—flew around the tent and settled on the snow near by. In the calm, the heat was excessive and great thirst attacked us all the afternoon, which I attempted to assuage at every halt by holding snow in my hands and licking the drops of water off my knuckles—a cold and unsatisfactory expedient. We travelled without burberrys—at that time quite a novel sensation—wearing only fleece suits and light woollen undergarments. Correll pulled for the greater part of the afternoon in underclothing alone.
It was obvious that this was the place for our first depot. I had decided, too, to make it the first magnetic station and the point from which to visit and explore Aurora Peak. None of us made any demur over a short halt. Correll had strained his back during the day from pulling too hard, and was troubled with a bleeding nose. My face was very sore from sunburn, with one eye swollen and almost closed, and McLean's eyes had not yet recovered from their first attack of snow-blindness.
The load commenced to glide so quickly as we were leaving the crest of the mountain that Correll and McLean unhitched from the hauling line and attached themselves by the alpine rope to the rear of the sledge, braking its progress. I remained harnessed in front keeping the direction. For two miles we were going downhill at a running pace and then the slope became suddenly steeper and the sledge overtook me. I had expected crevasses, in view of which I did not like all the loose rope behind me. Looking round, I shouted to the others to hold back the sledge, proceeding a few steps while doing so. The bow of the sledge was almost at my feet, when—whizz! I was dropping down through space. The length of the hauling rope was twenty-four feet, and I was at the end of it. I cannot say that "my past life flashed before me." I just had time to think "Now for the jerk—will my harness hold?" when there was a wrench, and I was hanging breathless over the blue depth. Then the most anxious moment came—I continued to descend. A glance showed me that the crevasse was only four feet wide, so the sledge could not follow me, and I knew with a thankful heart that I was safe. I only descended about two feet more, and then stopped. I knew my companions had pulled up the sledge and would be anchoring it with the ice-axe.
I had a few moments in which to take in my surroundings. Opposite to me was a vertical wall of ice, and below a beautiful blue, darkening to black in that unseen chasm. On either hand the rift of the crevasse extended, and above was the small hole in the snow bridge through which I had shot.
Soon I heard McLean calling, "Are you all right?" And I answered in what he and Correll thought an alarmingly distant voice. They started enlarging the hole to pull me out, until lumps of snow began to fall and I had to yell for mercy. Then I felt they were hauling, and slowly I rose to daylight.
We each described the scenery we liked best; notable always for the sunny weather and perfect calm. McLean sailed again in Sydney Harbour, Correll cycled and ran his races, I wandered in the South Australian hills or rowed in the "eights," while the snow swished round the tent and the wind roared over the wastes of ice.


My baby grew up on me.
Today was a bittersweet day. My little Marin's first day of preschool was today. She jumped out of bed, so excited. I put her hair up "like a princess," she always tells me. I drove her to school and she didn't even wait for me to say goodbye, she disappeared into the huddle of little ones.
I honestly didn't know what to do with myself. This is a good thing though. She will learn how to play with others, how to write her name, how to be independent. I will learn to trust others with my child, handle time without my baby, and realize that she is growing up.
This really is a good thing though. I've thought about how much fun she will have and how much she will learn. I've thought about the extra time I will have now to clean and organize my house, finally get back into a filming routine, and basically just have the time that I need to be active on social media. I mean, look at this, how long has it been since I have posted on here? With Marin in preschool, I'll have a little more free time to post on my blog and my channel, it's a win-win.
Still, I am a little upset at how quickly she forgot about me when I took her to school. She was so excited to show me the apple that she made today in arts & crafts, so I guess I can't be too upset.
She was loving the camera today!
I actually picked up her entire outfit, backpack included, at Target.

These would later be used in Vietnam, making the Skyknights the only jet fighter to have flown in the Korean and Vietnam War. The Skyknight's role in Vietnam was reduced, focusing more on electronic warfare with electronic countermeasure (ECM) equipment as the ''EF-10B'' in order to counter the new SA-2 Guideline surface-to-air missile.

The F3D-1 is armed with:
4 х 20 mm AN/M3 cannons, chin-mounted (200 rpg = 800 total)
Main articles: AN-M64A1 (500 lb), Tiny Tim, AN-M65A1 (1,000 lb), AN-M66A2 (2,000 lb)
The F3D-1 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
2 х 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (1,000 lb total)
2 х Tiny Tim rockets
2 х 1000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (2,000 lb total)
The main thing to take into account when using the F3D-1 is that it is not made to combat other planes. It has four great cannons, but you will rarely be able to get them on target unless you are fighting lower rank vehicles or you manage to take an enemy aircraft by surprise. It is unsuited to the complexities of high-rank jet combat, having a poor climb rate, below average top speed and mediocre manoeuvrability. Instead, this plane works best as a ground pounder, working closely with fighters to keep it safe from harm. In other words, your team needs to have air superiority in order for you to be effective. Your cannons are effective against light vehicles and vehicle top armour. The 2000 lb bombs are powerful enough to destroy any target, allowing you to pinpoint dug in vehicles and end their game quickly. You also have access to Tiny Tim Rockets, which have extremely high penetration and post penetration damage. After dropping your payload and strafing targets, you can quickly return to base and rearm.
It is best not to linger over a combat zone, as your presence will attract the attention of players, who may spawn in fighters or SPAA and try to shoot you down. In higher rank matches, SPAA will jump at the chance to shoot down a slow, lumbering jet like you. Instead, it is best to quickly pinpoint a target, destroy it and then return to base. Keep on doing this as many times as you can. Fly low and around the edge of the map in order to avoid any anti-aircraft guns, observing the map and looking out for any potential targets. If you attract any unwanted attention from an enemy aircraft, your first point of call should be to call for help. It can save you a lot of hassle if a friendly SPAA or fighter can take out the enemy plane. If not you will need to analyse your enemy and work out if you have any advantages over it. If it is a high-rank plane like a Mig 15 or Sabre, your options are pretty limited. Your chances mostly depend on your skill to outwit your opponent, or their skill to outwit you.

The two-seated, twin-engine fighter was to be equipped with a radar and with specifications for a top speed of 500 mph (805 km/h), an operating altitude of 40,000 ft (12,192 m),[1] and able to detect an enemy 125 miles (201 km) away.[2] The Douglas Aircraft Company were among the many companies that were asked to produce an aircraft able to meet these specifications. Led by designer Ed Heineman, Douglas produced the designs that the US Navy thought suited best and were offered a contract for three prototypes under the designation XF3D-1, with the nickname Skyknight, on 03 April 1946.[2]
The XF3D-1 prototype made its first flight on 23 March 1948.[3] Due to the favorable performance, the plane was then ordered on May 11th for production of 28 units as the F3D-1. The first production F3D-1 was delivered in early 1950.[2] By February 1951, the F3D-1 was put into service. However, despite its status, the F3D-1 did not meet all standards for aircraft carrier operations, mainly due to underpowered engines.[3] As such, priority shifted over towards the F3D-2 variant and only 28 F3D-1 planes were produced.[2] In all, Douglas would produce 268 F3D Skyknights for U.S. service.[1]
While the F3D-1 stayed stateside to train pilots and radar operators, the F3D-2 were sent to the Korea War in Spring of 1952.[2] The F3D-2 Skyknights were assigned to Marine Corps night fighter squadrons to escort bombers in nighttime raids.[3] While there, the F3D Skyknights racked up one of the best aerial victory record in Korea for a night-fighter, even scoring the first aerial jet-to-jet night victory against a Yak-15 in 03 November 1952. Only one F3D Skyknights were shot down during the rest of the Korean War.[4]
After the Korean War, the F3D Skyknights became used as trainers or testing beds for the then-new air-to-air missiles (AAM) such as the AIM-7 Sparrow missiles. In the 1962, the F3Ds were renamed to the F-10 Skyknights, with the F3D-1 and F3D-2 being redesignated as F-10A and F-10B respectively. These would later be used in Vietnam, making the Skyknights the only jet fighter to have flown in the Korean and Vietnam War. The Skyknight's role in Vietnam was reduced, focusing more on electronic warfare with electronic countermeasure (ECM) equipment as the EF-10B in order to counter the new SA-2 Guideline surface-to-air missile. The Skyknights were also used to conduct reconnaissance over Cuba during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.[4]

Many of us our losing loved ones and friends and what seems to be an accelerated rate, or we know people who have. Losing someone is never easy, and it doesn't get easier with time or quantity. It gets more painful each time.
For all of you who have lost someone recently, know that we all share in your loss. Even if we never met, your loss is my loss as well, your pain is our pain. Know that you are not alone, and that we all send you love and support through the Spirit. We will mourn together, and we will heal together.
Know also, that those that we loved, are not truly gone. Their memories remain, as a connection to them. They have only lost their physicality, not their essence. When we mourn their loss, it is not truly the loss of them, but rather the loss of the physical connection we had with them. We can remember through our pain, that we can still connect with them by remembering an event, their favorite color, scent, food, etc. When you speak to them now, do it as you normally would, and listen for their answer as a voice in your heart.
Over the last few months, I have lost a few personal friends. Each time, I held a conversation (or several) with the person who had crossed over. I still mourn each loss because I can't hug them, see them, watch them, I still enjoy conversations and laughter. And while it doesn't help the loss or the pain, with their help, and the Spirit, it gets a little easier to bear each day.

Jeremias Falck
pl: Jeremiasz Falck
[1610 Gdansk - 1677 Gdansk]
Jeremias Falck is considered as one of the best engravers of the 17'th century.
Artist's education remains for us a complete mystery. For years Wilhelm Hondius was claimed to be his hypothetical teacher but according to contemporary researches results it seems improbable.
In 1639 Falck moved to Paris where he engraved famous series of Four Seasons of the Year - Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall. For five years starting on 1649 he worked in Stockholm, Sweden for the queen Kerstin, after her abdication he returned to Gdansk. During so-called " Swedish Flood" - wars between Poland and Sweden, he worked in Paris, then Netherlands and Germany.

Q: Custom command completion I am trying to write a plugin, where the b:Sdir will take the directories with source code. I am trying to achieve autocompletion as:
"MakeMake: Generate Makefile.gen
function! MakeMake()
  let b:Rdir = input("Project root folder: ", ".", 'file')
  exe ":lchdir ".b:Rdir

" More than 1 files can be choosed
  let b:Sdir = input("Choose source dir: ", ".", "customlist,CFile")
endfunction

function! CFile(A,L,P)
  return split(globpath(b:Rdir, a:A),"\n")
endfunction

But this is not working.
As normal, if I use  "split(globpath(b:Rdir, "*"),"\n")" in CFile, it will show ALL files in the directory available, but not filter the files.
How can I achieve completion for this?

A: You need a better glob pattern. Your pattern will only search for exact matches. So add a wildcard and / at the end.
return split(globpath(b:Rdir, a:A . '*/'), "\n")

You probably want to take this a step further and remove the starting directory that globpath() gives back via map():
return map(split(globpath(b:Rdir, a:A . '*/'),"\n"), 'v:val[strlen(b:Rdir)+1: -1]')

Or even better, forget the custom completion all together and just use dir. e.g. input("Choose source dir: ", ".", "dir")
For more help see:
:h globpath()
:h glob()
:h :command-complete

Never again – EDL admirer kills 76
Shockwaves went around the world after a far right terrorist killed 76 people in Norway.
Young people attending a Labour Youth gathering were shot dead near the Norwegian capital Oslo when a man dressed in a police uniform opened fire on Friday of last week.
A car bomb killed seven people earlier the same day outside Norway's main government building in central Oslo.
Members of the ruling Labour Party were the targets in both cases.
The world's media and security experts rushed to blame the attack on Islamic fundamentalists.
But Anders Behring Breivik carried out the massacre—and he is linked to Britain's far right English Defence League (EDL).
Breivik had posted messages on a Norwegian website expressing his admiration for the EDL.
Socialist Worker was the first newspaper to reveal his links to the group on the morning after the attacks.
On one website Breivik said, "I have on some occasions discussed with SIOE [Stop Islamification Of Europe] and EDL and recommended them to use conscious strategies… this has also benefited BNP. Win Win for both.
"But I must say I am very impressed with how quickly they have grown."
That is just one of the many links between Breivik and the EDL.
Breivik met leaders of the EDL in March last year when he came to London for the visit of Geert Wilders, the Dutch right wing politician. He has also attended a number of EDL demonstrations.
One EDL supporter who had spoken to him told the Telegraph, "He is extremely intelligent and articulate and very affable. I presume there would be those within the EDL who would be quite taken by that. It's like Hitler, people said he was hypnotic."
Breivik wrote in his rambling 1,500 page hate-filled manifesto, "I used to have more than 600 EDL members as Facebook friends and have spoken with tens of EDL members and leaders.
"In fact, I was one of the individuals who supplied them with processed ideological material (including rhetorical strategies) in the very beginning."
The self-promoting text talks much about the crusades and obscure secret societies. But the organisation named the most is the EDL.
Breivik's proposal for the EDL is chilling: "They should instead focus on strategically demolishing one of the many British nuclear power plants, which effectively would completely cripple the British economy, contributing to creating an optimal climate for significant political change."
Too far fetched? Then consider the response from the EDL leader Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson.
Yaxley-Lennon threatened on Newsnight: "You need to listen because, God forbid, this ever happens on British soil… it's the time coming… you're probably five or ten years away."
One EDL supporter on an online forum went further: "This man is no terrorist, he is a soldier in the war against Islam. God bless him."
The moneyman behind the EDL, Alan Lake, was interviewed on Norwegian TV two years ago. He said he would execute people who believed in Sharia law.
After Breivik's murders he wrote, "By attacking the leftist politicians that are enabling this, the chickens have actually come home to roost."
It appears the EDL pulls the strings of its Nordic counterpart.
In March, Hel Gower, a leading figure in the EDL, posted a comment on the Norwegian Defence League's Facebook page. It said his group had ruled on problems caused by the latter's leadership vacuum and appointed an interim head.
It read, "Haavar Krane of SION will function as the officially recognised spokesman and leader of the Norwegian Defence League endorsed by the EDL."
Thugs
Street thugs give far right ideologues confidence—and the massacre in Norway is the horrific conclusion.
In contrast to this filth, some 150,000 people in Norway took to the streets in a show of unity against the attacks.
As Weyman Bennett from Unite Against Fascism (UAF) told Socialist Worker, "There's a network of Nazis across Europe who support and sustain racists like Breivik.
"What happened in Norway shows we have to redouble our efforts against the racist ideology of Islamophobia.
"That's why UAF is calling for the biggest possible mobilisation against the EDL on 3 September."

U.S. Immigration Law provides for specific procedures through which a foreign person may enter and be present in the United States. Ideally, entry into the United States by a foreigner is made with visas or other immigration documents which grant specific permission for the person to enter the United States and remain for a certain time and purpose.. If a person enters or remains in the United States unlawfully she may face removal proceedings.
Removal hearings are conducted to determine whether certain foreigners are subject to removal from the country. Previously there were separate proceedings to determine whether someone was unlawfully trying to enter the U.S (exclusion proceedings) than for those present in the United States who had violated any number of immigration or criminal laws (deportation proceedings). Generally the distinction from these two proceedings has been eliminated and there is one proceeding called the removal proceeding.
Persons who have made a valid entry into the United States and have subsequently violated their status, as well as persons who entered unlawfully and are later apprehended by the U.S. Immigration Service, are subject to removal proceedings. The Department of Homeland Security, which took over the function of the former Immigration and Naturalization Service, can then issue a Notice to Appear which schedules a hearing before an Immigration Judge. If an individual is in custody he or she may either be released or detained, depending upon family ties, the nature of the problem, and the likelihood that the person will appear before the Immigration Judge.
A variety of forms of relief from removal is available, including cancelation of removal, political asylum, voluntary departure, adjustment of status and other technical and administrative grounds of relief.
If a person is placed into removal proceedings and/or has questions about his or her immigration status, it is imperative that they retain competent legal counsel since their future ability to remain or return to the United States is at risk.
If you or a loved one are facing deportation, it is critical to consult with an experienced Miami attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your rights are protected. You need the counsel of an experienced lawyer to guide you through the process and maximize your chances of resolving your case with a favorable outcome.
By taking the immediate action of hiring an attorney to defend yourself, you are minimizing the chances that your removal case will have lasting consequences for your career and personal life. CALL US NOW for a CONFIDENTIAL CONSULTATION at (305) 538-4545, or simply take a moment to fill out our securely encrypted intake form.

THESE ELITE MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDERS ARE FOREGOING SANCTIONED COMPETITIONS AND FOCUSING THEIR EFFORTS ON A NEW "UNDERGROUND" SERIES. Although people have been riding bicycles since the early 1800s, mountain biking as a sport rose to prominence about 40 years ago when riders began modifying heavy 1930s and '40s Schwinn bicycles with better brakes and thicker tires. During mountain biking's infancy, the disciplines mirrored skiing and mostly consisted of cross-country, dual slalom and downhill racing. As bike technology and rider skill evolved, the sport progressed into freestyle (tricks) and freeride (terrain) categories. Today's freeride stars aren't concerned with going the fastest, wearing lycra, or beating the clock. They're focused on pushing the known boundaries of mountain biking by flying higher, farther, and simply "going bigger." The "crown jewel" events of freeride are the Red Bull Rampage and Red Bull Joyride Slopestyle, both of which are sanctioned by the Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour.
For release at the Loose festival in Belgium Malmedy, Reverse Components brings the Nico Vink Signature series into action. Known for his wild style and ability to hit moto-sized jumps, Nico teamed up with his long–time sponsor Reverse Components to create a range of products that are up to the task. The "Vink Signature Bar" and "Vink Signature Grips" are designed for major hucks, flat drops and big airtime. The new Nico Vink Signature Series has been designed and implemented together with the living freeride legend and are available from the 1st of August 2016 from Reverse Dealers. See them in action here.
Biel, July 3rd 2016. What a contest in Munich! The wind tested the patience of the spectators and Nicholi Rogatkin (USA) rewarded them by testing the laws of physics once again!

Fiji coach Rick Stone wants to see his side bring more attack to their last Rugby League World Cup 2013 Group A match against England at the KC Stadium, Hull, on Saturday (2.30pm).
After beating Ireland at Rochdale in front a heavy Fijian backing, The Bati went on to produce a promising performance in defeat to Australia at Langtree Park, St Helens, in monsoon-like conditions, though Stone would like to see more from his attackers.
"I felt that we could have thrown a bit more at Australia in attack," said Stone. "But I thought we made them work for their tries and overall I thought we were sound defensively.
"The kicking game probably needs to improve a bit from us, but I thought we handled Greg Inglis pretty well from full-back.
Stone has been impressed with the support his side has received so far during RLWC2013, after a stadium-record crowd packed into Spotland – an area with strong ties to Fijian Rugby League – to witness The Bati's first win, and a lot of fans turned Fiji supporters for their second group game against Australia.
"At Rochdale we had nearly 9,000 with us and at St Helens the crowd were willing us on," said Stone. "I thought if we get one try that they would lift us a little bit, so I was a little bit disappointed that we didn't get one try.
Tickets for the England v Fiji RLWC2013 Group A game at the KC Stadium, Hull, on Saturday (2.30pm) are still available, though only a limited number are left.

I first joined the Scottish National Party back in early 2016 (as the Brexit rhetoric was ramping up towards the referendum, and it became increasingly clear that the SNP was one of the few parties ready to reject the scapegoating of immigration for the damages of Tory austerity). However, I've never been a party-politically engaged member. No branch meetings or anything of that sort – I've always been a lone-wolf, sometimes to my detriment, often against my best instincts of wanting to do more. Unfortunately, it's a case of allowing stupid social anxiety to get in the way of the stuff I want to do, although I'm working on that.
However, with this year's Spring Conference taking place in my home turf of Edinburgh, and my political engagement at its most energetic, it proved itself to be a great opportunity to take a step outside my comfort zone and see for myself how these things work. And so I did.
Now, I don't want to bore with you all the details, so I'll try to be succinct.
The greatest pleasure of it all was meeting so many familiar names that I only knew from social media. And boy, did I realise the power of this medium – I was so overwhelmed with people popping up wanting to say hi, full of complimentary words about my social media antics or my blog. Some people brought up my first ever article for this blog, my love letter to Scotland, or even some of my non-political ramblings that resonated with them. Seriously, it was just lovely to be stopped every once in a while by someone starting a phrase with "Mr. Saraband, I just want to say hi…" (still feeling very pretentious about being addressed by a pseudonym, but hey).
Me (left), my fiancé Roger (centre), and Steven Campell (right) – also, that's Ian Blackford behind us
A big shout out to the lovely Steven Campell, recently elected Vice-Convener of YSI Lothian, who was an absolute star during the karaoke party on Saturday night (excellently hosted by the MP Hannah Bardell) and made sure I met loads of the people involved. On top of it all, I had one of our front-bench MSPs actually tapping me on my shoulder because he wanted to say he loved my tweets (I screamed inside, whilst trying to remain very cool), and had the honour of witnessing a rendition of "Sunshine on Leith" by the one and only, Mr. Ian Blackford MP.
Witnessing the motions being put before Conference was also an obvious highlight, particularly the discussion around the Growth Commission. Even with fundamental disagreements between some of the participants, it was delightful to see debate conducted with mutual respect (notable exception for the guy who threw a tantrum on the second day, because he was the only person in the room against a Citizens' Assembly, misreading the atmosphere to such a degree that he thought it wise to denigrate Joanna Cherry, who had minutes before rightfully received a standing ovation. It was a pleasure to boo him).
Needless to say, though, that Nicola Sturgeon's speech was the perfect finale. Some stuff in there that I wasn't expecting, like further help with a deposit for first-time buyers, which is much welcome. The reiteration that every Scot, new and old, should know that Scotland is our home and that we don't need to leave, ever. The declaration of state of ecological emergency was interesting, but I'm curious to see how that's followed up with some practical action before I say much more about it. And it was, of course, a joyful political punching session for both Tories and Labour, with Nicola delivering some much needed uppercuts to the empty rhetoric of the two biggest parties at Westminster.
FM Nicola Sturgeon's closing speech
On top of it all, I heard an overwhelming amount of inclusive speeches, the contribution to Scottish society by European citizens like myself was regularly celebrated, and almost everyone seemed to be absolutely buzzing at the prospect of our second, and finally successful, Indyref. The two fringe events I attended – one on EU Citizens' rights, where I intervened at the Q&A, and another on Euthanasia – compounded the experience of a phenomenal event. There was also none of the gender debate hysteria that seems to engulf social media – everyone I spoke to about this, including women with perfectly valid questions, was perfectly reasonable and humane when talking about Trans issues. I'm so glad that extremism around this question is much less prevalent in real people, rather than the often two-dimensional characters of social media that peddle profoundly ignorant rhetoric against one group or another.
The lows – what lows?
The coffee was terrible. Seriously, that's my biggest complaint about the whole event. I even mentioned it to one of the lovely venue workers' on the second day, who nodded to me apologetically and simply whispered "We know."
Of course, I was also really excited to put in a card on the motion for a Citizens' Assembly, as I wanted to speak for it whilst making a passionate case that it should represent all sections of Scottish society, including immigrants. Alas, it's always frustrating to not have a chance to say something you think it's important, but others ended up conveying similar sentiments and I will look forward to other opportunities to make that case. Nonetheless, a big thank you goes out to the SNP European Parliamentary candidate, Christian Allard, who was the one who came up to me on the first day and convinced me that I should put in a speaking card, going through the trouble of explaining how it was done to a complete newbie like myself. A charming gentleman who will represent Scotland, and its values of openness and European solidarity, with utmost excellence, when he gets elected next month.
Finally, after getting a reply from Nicola Sturgeon on Friday, that resulted in my most popular tweet ever, I'm sad to say that I wasn't able to get a picture with her. My mother would certainly have appreciated it – but we will have to wait for another opportunity.

I have a lot more I could say. For a political junkie like myself, a passionate believer in Scottish independence and in building a fairer society that is big enough for everyone, I was the happiest fish in the sea. I'm filled with hope and optimism, and, above all, a desperate desire to grab my coat and start doing the work on the ground needed to get a Yes result as big as we can. I will also be looking at participating in my local SNP & YES groups due to the encouragement of some of the folks at Conference.
And, Aberdeen, get ready – because I don't think I can miss the October Conference now.

The first step towards IndyRef2
Since the morning of the Brexit result, I've been feart of two things above all others: to imagine my life in a post-Brexit United Kingdom, as an immigrant, and to conceive of the idea that Scotland would never see itself unfettered from the asphyxiating grip of this Union. Since June 2016, I've had very few uplifting moments that did anything to assuage these two overwhelming fears.
Today, however, was the day that changed.
Building Independence, one block at a time
Brexit has brought a lot of flamboyance to these islands' politics. It has ushered in an era of cheap rhetoric, malignant scapegoating of minorities, and the worst cutthroat politics imaginable, perhaps second only to something seen on Game of Thrones.
Nicola Sturgeon's statement to the Scottish Parliament, today, was entirely different. In a calm, measured, and well-reasoned way, the First Minister and leader of the SNP presented a series of successive steps that will be taken in order to set the ground for a new referendum on Scottish independence. She outlined the sovereignty of the Scottish people, and emphasised their right to choose a better future than what the current status quo is delivering.
The first meaty announcement was that of setting up a Citizens' Assembly, a body that can help reach consensus across society on dividing issues. The second, was the announcement that primary legislation will now be moving forward to ensure a second independence referendum, to take place between now and 2021, so that such legislation is in place by the time the Scottish Government negotiates a Section 30 order with the UK Government.
A lot of people in the Indy movement are taking issue with the latter part, rightly pointing out that sovereignty on this issue already lies with the Scottish people, and therefore our Holyrood Parliament, thus excluding any need "to ask permission" for IndyRef2.
In many regards, I would agree with the sentiment of this. But I think the SNP's leadership is going for a politically astute plan that plays well in the eyes of the international community. We certainly don't want things to reach a point like Catalonia, where local and central governments are severely at odds, and peaceful democrats are facing imprisonment. By acting in this way, Nicola Sturgeon is also showing the Scottish electorate that she is trying to reach a consensus on every step of the way, so no one can't say she hasn't tried.
She has also forced the Unionist parties to come up with better alternatives to independence, or to defend the current Brexit status quo, both of them nearly impossible tasks. At best, they will come up with b-rate plans that fail to deliver the full benefits of independence – at worst, they will fall on their own federalist/status quo swords. I can only imagine the myriad of ways in which Tories, Labour and Lib Dems will leave me absolutely scunnered by their arguments, but then again, I've come to expect very little else from them since I first moved to Scotland.
Independence isn't guaranteed – there's much work to do
Although Brexit Britain looks like a nightmarish scenario to most reasonable people, the facts remain that no significant shift has yet happened towards Scottish independence. There's much work to be done on the ground, and rather than a firing gun, today's announcement feels like a nod from the SNP to the grassroots movement, a way of saying "get ready folks – start planning".
As I said at the beginning, today has been the first time I've felt truly hopeful about Scotland's future since the 2016 Brexit result. It is a small, fleeting light, but at least I can see something now, something I can look forward to. That has been enough to ignite my energy and ensure that I will do everything I can to help Nicola Sturgeon succeed, to see that Scotland normalises its status as an independent nation, as it was for most of her history.
The future has been politically bleak, but I'm an optimist, and I can finally see something that looks braw.

We can't let division win

Twitter can be mental. I love it. I guess most of you who use it also share this love/hate relationship with it, because we all know we've made some wonderful connections, but also seen a lot of crap. I guess that social media has all the problems of our modern society but they become amplified with the added layer of echo chambers, and the inability to provide some much needed nuance around complicated issues, a difficult thing to do with a 280-character limit (can't believe we survived the 140-character era).
Today, in one of Twitter's typical abilities to catch us unaware, a bitter little straight man popped up on my timeline, taking issue with the fact that I describe myself as a feminist on my Twitter bio (and, indeed, in life), and also support the Trans community as part of the LGBTQ+ family. The man assumed I was some radical activist wanting to erode women's rights, which I'm not, and I absolutely don't want to. So a discussion ensued, he ended up admitting that he had jumped in too quickly (although offering a backhanded apology, so fuck him), but I was left shaking because the whole thing caught me by surprise. Admittedly, I deal very badly with people making false assumptions about me, I have to work on that.
Whilst still reeling from that exchange (I took screenshots of it all before blocking him, by the way), I decided to do a wee spontaneous vlog on Twitter about my views on the subjects of male feminism, self-id laws, and the need for compassion in a debate that is becoming a mud-flinging mess on all sides. You can watch it here:

Keep in mind that it is a two-minutes long, unscripted video, so of course there's a lot more to be said. It does not offer solutions to the questions around self-ID and women's rights: to be frank, as a gay man perfectly at home in the body I was born with, it's not my place to offer those solutions. I should listen to what women have to say, and how we can protect the Trans community without infringing on anyone else's rights.
I will always stand by my sisters fighting for the right to be protected from male violence, and I will always fight for the right of my Trans friends to live dignified lives. These two things shouldn't be mutually exclusive. Don't let the patriarchy divide & conquer us, when we should be fighting it together.
Diversity is not about saying that we're all the same. We aren't. Trans people are unique, as are women, gay men, straight men, etc., and there's uniqueness within every single one of those groups as well. Diversity is about acknowledging that those differences exist, but respect them, and ensure that we are all able to live dignified lives. I know I owe the rights I enjoy today, as a gay man, to both the Trans community that has always fought for me, but also to my Lesbian and Straight sisters, who fought for the LGBTQ+ community at large. Let's bring that compassion back, and keep the slurs and the dogmas out of the debate, for everyone's sake.
Oh, and cheerio to anyone saying I'm not, or can't be a feminist. I can feel the heel of the patriarchy on my neck, every day of my life as a gay man. I know the challenges I face are different from those of my sisters, and I know I still benefit from white male privilege every day of my life. But we are in this together, in a movement with women at the front.
I'll not let any straight man dictate if I'm a feminist or not. The approval I need has been given to me in the knowing look of my female friends, and they will let me know when I step on the wrong foot, as we all occasionally do, because we're all human – that's the point.

Brexit: a lobster allegory
Posted on April 9, 2019 by Saraband
Picture the following: Theresa May, a chef with no previous cooking experience, has been tasked with humanely disposing of a lobster, before boiling it to perfection, in order to present her gourmand voters with the perfect Brexit feast.
Now, being humane doesn't come naturally to Theresa, so she tries to kill the lobster with a wooden spoon, ignoring the perfectly sharpened set of knives that could have delivered a quick kill. Fuck that, murmurs Theresa, as she bashes the poor lobster repeatedly, whilst daydreaming about the days where running through fields of wheat was spine-tinglingly exciting. After a while, so convinced of her brilliance that she fails to notice the lobster is still alive, she just chucks the numbed creature into the cooking pot.
However, rather than having the water boiling and at the ready, Theresa May thinks she should, once again, ignore everyone else's better judgement and go for a very, very slow cook, leaving the flame at minimum heat. The lobster, at this point, is just trying to perform harakiri – or seppuku for the pedants among you – with its own claws, rather than suffering through this existential purgatory at the hands of an incompetent fool, but its claws are tightly shut with an elastic band. The creature is stuck in a red, white and blue pot, not quite cooking because the water is not boiling, but certain that, with enough time, it will die of exhaustion.
As all of this goes on, and Theresa leaves the kitchen for a bit, a few parliamentarian chefs come in and start playing with the pot. Some turn up the flame to the max, while others rapidly pull the pot away. They all laugh and throw witty jibes at each other, before the chef speaker patronisingly asks them all to behave, before he too has a bit of fun with the pot and the poor lobster. The creature looks up in hope, but is met only with eyes exuding sadistic glee.
Theresa pops back into the kitchen and the other chefs clear their throats, complimenting her excellent skills before leaving – they take the sharpened knives with them and look knowingly at each other. Theresa looks into the pot, and is surprised that the lobster is still quite lively. So she leaves everything exactly as it is, because, why change something that isn't working, right? Instead, she gazes at the wooden spoon in her hand, daydreaming once more. This time, she's imagining a blue-clad fairy appearing and turning her into wood, just like the spoon, because she's exhausted of unsuccessfully pretending to be human. A reverse Pinocchio, that's Theresa May's greatest wish.
Of course, if you think Theresa's lobster is bad, imagine how would a lobster alla Gove taste. Or, heaven forbid, lobster with Boris on the side, served with a Rees-Mogg reduction. No, Theresa May, masterful cognoscente of all thinks democratic, and agent of the people's supposed and outdated wishes, will make sure that we all eat her disgustingly cooked lobster. It's her buffet or no one else's – just the tyrannical seasoning that British democracy has been asking for.
Hours go by before sheer exhaustion finally claims the lobster's life, but not without it having one last epiphany. I'm fucked, the lobster thinks. But not as fucked as those who are about to eat me. Theresa May rings a bell, tells that Brexit is ready to be served, and evaporates out of existence, her satanic purpose fulfilled: a country's population sacrificed to keep the Conservative Party… conserved.

Theresa May is roadkill – someone drag her out of the road
Today, on what has been dubbed Brexit Day (even though we're already into our first short extension), Theresa May brought her deal to Parliament for a third time. Again, it was overwhelmingly rejected by the House of Commons, not in the least thanks to her own backbenchers, as 34 Tories voted against their leader.
Theresa May's political capital is now so exhausted it has run into the negatives. She's roadkill. She's a carcass run over by a mix of her own lack of leadership, and of the cutthroat civil war raging within the Tory Party. Show no hint of pity for her – she has shown none for the innocent victims of her hostile environment. What's left to us now, is for someone in Theresa May's own party to step out of their car, and remove the carcass blocking the way, so that normal traffic may resume – we can't continue this insane ping pong over a deal now thrice defeated.
Theresa May has failed as a party leader. She has failed as the leader of the United Kingdom. She has even failed in her bribe to the DUP, who couldn't wait to stab a political knife on her back. She's a failure, and that's how she'll be referred to in the brief footnotes of history.
What creature will the Tory party spawn next?
Getting rid of Theresa May will ameliorate none of our problems. For those of us who see the Tory party for the nasty, greedy, self-centred institution that it is, there's no hope that they will ever produce a leader remotely agreeable to our palate. But there's no way that we can move on with Brexit while Theresa May stays.
Gove? Rees-Mogg? Leadsom? Johnson? Cunt? Oh, Hunt, I mean. Sorry. They're all different facets of the same nasty party, no doubts about it. Different flavours and shapes to the same vapid, poisonous stool water that comprises the political expedience of their illustrious politicians. But it will allow the UK government to move ahead with a different plan, and allows us all to organise the opposition to it in a different way. Theresa May's deal is done and dusted – enough.
I still think these are all pointless delays to the inevitable People's Vote. But one thing at a time. For now, there's one thing we should all say to Theresa, at least those of us in Scotland absolutely scunnered with this whole process: away an' shite, hun. Cheerio.

Brexit: The Last Chapter Of This Union
"Life is a Theatre", 42x30cm, acrylic on canvas, by Saraband
For two and a half years, what were supposed to be calm and constructive discussions on the nature of the Withdrawal Agreement between the UK and the EU, have instead been comprised of a Tory party slowly lining up a series of metaphorical barrels under these isles. Explosive barrels filled with lies and populism, mixed in with the uniquely flammable nature of English exceptionalism, ready to blow up once the Brexit No Deal match is struck.
This has been a national meltdown, due to the complete ineptitude of the Westminster's system, and the tethering constraints of its archaic procedures. Everyone says that we must find a sensible approach, but everyone's sensible approach looks like complete lunacy to the people sitting on either side of them. And if the smaller parties in the UK Parliament have managed to stay united, the shock-waves produced by the earthquakes of Tory and Labour division haven't been without effect.
These are the worst of times, and these are the worst of times – Dickens was wrong
There's a lot of irony, to Brexit. Not least the fact that it is a creature spawned from the arcane rituals of British Nationalism. What we are hearing is one last scream of a dying Empire, wanting to celebrate its supposed superiority with defying arrogance and lack of self-awareness. But that is the creature that exists in the dark, for when we look at it under the glaring light of rational thought, what we see is a pathetic little critter, crawling on its last days, gasping for attention. Brexit is a pitiful bogeyman at best, and now the world is pointing and laughing – when it's not throwing its hands in the air, despairing at the stupidity of a neighbour tearing itself apart, risking the destruction of the entire suburb in the process.
In a way, Brexiteers wanted to make Britain Great Again, like the special edition of Irn Bru bottle that America elected for President. And they did. The United Kingdom has become the centre of the world once more – but now it is no longer the one poking fun at everyone else's supposed inferiority. No, far from that. The world has become a reality show, and Brexit Britain fills the prime time spot. This is a show meant to be bad, filled with incredibly stupid people, so that everyone else watching can feel a bit better about themselves. Britain has become The Great Joke.
What does the future hold?
At this point, fortune-tellers would be better trusted at predicting the future than any British journalist. Some pretend like they know exactly what is happening, but the truth is that no one really does. The only thing clear, right now, is that there's no clarity whatsoever.
By the time you end up reading this post, the first paragraph might have been made obsolete. You may go back to your Twitter feed to discover that Brexit has been cancelled, or open a trusted news website and find out that the EU has rolled out emergency plans and No Deal is imminent.
Whatever happens, Brexit has been like a fire, bringing with it panic, fear, and much sweating. But, after the smoke has cleared, and we see the wreck of what's been left behind, we can rest assured that the putrid skeleton of the institutions in this country will be exposed for all to see. Westminster is not fit for England's purpose, much less any of the other three nations. May Brexit euthanise it, and replace it with a democratic system fit for the twenty-first century.
So, let the fire of Brexit purge away the toxicity of this Union, and let England set out to fill whatever destiny its people democratically demand. Let Scotland retake its rightful place as a sovereign, outward-looking, European nation. Let Ireland heal the last of its open wounds and accept that, it doesn't matter if you're a Protestant, or a Catholic: you're Irish. And may Wales realise that a country's size should have no bearing on the boundless possibilities of a future where its people have the first and last say, not their next-door tenants.
Maybe we've been looking at Brexit all wrong. Maybe, this was just a ceremonial celebration of the 312 years of Union, and a way of putting it out of its misery with a last show of political fireworks. Boom. Flash. Rejoice!
Maybe. Maybe everything will turn out fine. Because, the alternative, in which we all sink together in a mutually destructive Union where every nation's aspiration is smashed under the heel of Westminster's inequality, is one which I can't even dread to contemplate.

"Greed" is a painting about the inhumanity of poaching elephants for the ivory trade. It is about how far we are willing to go, the trail of death we are prepared to leave behind, and the nobility of the beings we are ready to murder, all for the sake of making money. It's not about the poor men who hunt these majestic creatures in order to try and put food on their tables, for their families, but about the corrupt governments that turn a blind eye to it all, that refuse to give these poachers a more humane path where both them and the elephants can thrive. It's available for purchase on my website: http://wgsaraband.com "Greed" 50x40cm, oil on canvas #oilpainting #oils #painting #artist #creative#scottishart #scotland #edinburgh #art #abstract #abstractart #acrylics #paint #modernart #color #colors #creatives #love #beautiful #design #photography #artwork #artsy #artistsoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #instagood #love #scottishartist #animal #elephant
To finish off a brilliant first week since my website came online (http://wgsaraband.com), I've sold yet another original - "The Runner", which is now heading to Glasgow.

Sold another original this evening - "The Creative Mind", going to a new home in West Lothian, Scotland. This one is self-explanatory: a visual abstraction of how having a highly creative mind can feel like, with all the colours and shapes wanting to find a way out.

Another original painting has been sold, this time of "Blood Moon", now finding its way to a new home near Glasgow, Scotland. "Blood Moon" is a very different piece in my catalogue, both in style and subject, and is evocative of an imaginary landscape with influences of Japanese art. It was done in an afternoon, and it was wholly unplanned; I simply allowed my mind to sit back for a bit and let the painting flow through my hands without much thought.

Kids are the future of our society. Everything from music to clothes and even food is geared towards children. There's actually an online dictionary dedicated to understanding child shenanigans and terminology. Yes, words are even targeted to the child demographic now. Half the time kids will cut out the 'middle man' and come up with words all on their own. Some of these words you've probably heard of, some will leave you scratching your head, and others will make you laugh. Here are 10 pee-your-pants-laughing words made up by children!
Originally thought of as gentle and angelic creatures, unicorns are said to be the purest of mythical creatures in any fairytale. This kid, however, got the bright idea to give these horned beauties a new name, and species apparently. We aren't sure what's cuter; the fact that this kid renamed a rhino a "battle unicorn" or he actually thinks a horse and rhino are one and the same animal. We'll probably see "battle unicorn" added as a synonym under Rhino in the TheKidDictionary.com very soon.
A man's beard can take on several shapes, sizes, and colors. Some be can be long and scratchy, while others can have just a five o'clock shadow. It really depends on the guy and what his tastes are. Unfortunately, this woman's son isn't a fan of facial hair. Though he started using the phrase 'Face Grass' a year ago, it seems to have stuck with him and his family. Little does this kid know, that one day soon, he'll have 'Face Grass' on his face, too.
8 No, Change It To Lasterday!
This child has added yet another word. Rather than using the traditional wording 'before yesterday' to describe the day before the yesterday, this three-year-old got creative and added the word 'lasterday.' Clearly, a lot of thought went into inventing the word and the kid should receive an A for effort.
7 Forget Eye Slugs, It's Eye Mustaches Now!
As children, we tend to see the world differently than our parents. We interpret the world differently than adults which can sometimes be quite funny and strange. Even when looking back on our childhood, we wonder 'why did I think that?'. This mother recounted a time her daughter referred to eyebrows as eye mustaches. A few years go by and her daughter is suddenly in her teens taking selfies of her eyebrows.
6 Who Invited The Wolves To The Party?
We've all heard and read the childhood fables of wolves. We know the three little pigs and the wolf who blew down their house. We know of Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. Though, we've never heard of 'party dogs' before today. Maybe it has something to do with the assemblage of wolves, and their panting makes it look like they're laughing. We're not sure how the name came about but it's hilarious!
When a parent says to their kid 'keep your hands to yourself' that usually means to refrain from touching others. However, this next word does bring up a valid point about the phrase and we possibly should consider revising it. 'Bootality' is a funny little word, possibly crafted in the mind of a child, that basically means kicking is still allowed even if you can't hit others. It is true that the phrase doesn't say anything about keeping our feet to ourselves.
We eat all kinds of foods with strange names. Hush Puppies, being one of the strangest food names out there, may confuse some people who aren't familiar with the dish. Children who've never been introduced to the cuisine will especially be scratching their heads. This kid forgot the words "Hush Puppies" so he went with —and we quote— 'quiet doggies.' Sometimes it's best to break things down in simpler terms.
Cowboys are known for their boots, hats, sharp-wit and their shooters. In old Western movies, they're especially recognized for their duels. Not so often are their musical merits realized by fans. Apparently, this child has been watching too many old Western films on the TMC channel and they probably all feature a cowboy playing the harmonica. Thus, the name 'cowboy trumpet' was crafted from this child's imaginative mind.
During those wintry months, we often rely on the comfort and warmth of our gloves. Even double or triple socks will keep our feet nice and toasty. When this woman visited her kindergarten class, one of the children referred to her gloves as 'hand socks'. Socks for hands? Both gloves and socks do keep you warm and cover the outer most exposed body parts. This kid made us fall out of our chair laughing!

Q: Streaming android display using VLC We currently have a Java Application that uses VLC to stream and view displays on Windows and Linux.  We now need to stream an Android display to the desktops. I have found several tutorials online on how to stream video and music from an Android device.  The problem is I need to stream the display at all times.  I have found other applications on the play store that allows for streaming from phone to desktop but not a library that I can use myself.   Can VLC for Android support streaming of the main display like its desktop counterpart?

A: The most powerful tool for streaming your android screen on Windows is Project Scrcpy on github


468 It's Blues. 'Nuff Said.
I have never heard of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band but I definitely wasn't scared to listen to their self titled album from 1965 (Elektra). In at number 468, IT'S THE BLUES! What's not to like? I really can't say anymore. This one is a downloader.
