Sir Ambrose James Sherwill  (12 February 1890 – 25 September 1968) was Bailiff of Guernsey from 1946 to 1959. In the early months of World War II, he helped in the administration of the Channel Islands when they were occupied by the Germans.

Early life
Educated in Guernsey and in Cherbourg he worked for a lawyer in Guernsey before passing the qualification of Licencié en Droit at Caen University (necessary to practice law in Guernsey) in 1914, just before the war broke out.

Although a member of the Royal Guernsey Militia, Sherwill volunteering as a dispatch rider but was called up as an air mechanic in the Royal Navy Air Service Armoured Car Division and served as a petty officer until he was commissioned into The Buffs in 1916. Sherwill was awarded the Military Cross (MC) for services at the battle of Messines in 1917, where he was wounded, being promoted to Lieutenant shortly afterwards. He received a second bad wound in 1918, and used the recovery time to continue with his law studies. On demobilisation in 1919 he moved to England to pass the English Bar exams before returning to Guernsey in May 1920 to apply for admittance to the Bar as an Advocate of the Royal Court.

His military service continued with the Royal Guernsey Militia being appointed Lieutenant in 1921, Captain in 1922 and Major in 1925 before retiring in 1928 when the militia was scaled back.

Standing for election to the States of Guernsey, he served as a Deputy from 1921 to 1926 whilst continuing to practice law. In 1935 Sherwill became His Majesty's Attorney General (with the duties of public prosecutor), having to give up private practice and accept the reduced income associated with public office.

World War II
During World War II, he was President of the Controlling Committee during the German occupation of the Channel Islands, responsible for the running of the Island government and the main contact for the German authorities, reporting only to the elderly Bailiff, Victor Carey, until Sherwill was deported to Cherche-Midi Prison for his part in the Nicolle and Symes affair.  Jurat John Leale took over his responsibilities as president.

 Sherwill's patriotism was confirmed, when at great personal risk he doctored Guernsey militia uniforms to make them appear to be British Army uniforms, in order that Nicolle and Symes would be treated as soldiers, rather than spies (as undercover operatives were routinely shot by both sides as part of protocol.)

Sentenced to two months in prison, taken to France in a Junkers Ju 52, he spent November and December 1940 in several prisons including 45 days in the very unpleasant Cherche-Midi Prison in Paris. On his return he was informed he would no longer be allowed any contact with the German authorities. This was lifted for the winter of 1942–3 when he again practised as Attorney General.

He conducted himself with distinction at the Laufen Internment Camp to which he was eventually deported in February 1943, becoming head of the British forces/citizens at the camp in June 1943. Laufen was a chateau housing single men, mainly from the Channel Islands as well as some "American" men, who had been in Europe when America entered the war. Liberation came on 4 May 1945 with the internees being flown to England in June.

Controversy
Sherwill has been variously accused of excessively cordial relations with the German occupying troops, and acquiescing without due resistance to the Feldkommandant. Most notable perhaps is the episode of August 1940, when Sherwill, with the professed intention of reassuring those evacuated Guernsey citizens who anxiously awaited news of their loved ones who had chosen to remain on the Island, recorded a broadcast for Radio Bremen assuring of the 'kindly' treatment of islanders at the hands of the German troops. No doubt Sherwill's intentions were noble, but his naivety was nonetheless exploited by the German propaganda machine in their desire to show that the realities of German occupation were far removed from the bleak picture propagated by British communiqués and propaganda.

Post 1945
He returned to Guernsey after the War, and was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in December 1945. He served as Bailiff of Guernsey between 1946 and 1959. He was knighted, when made a Knight Commander in 1949. In 1960, he retired to Alderney, then later moved to Guernsey with his wife to live with his son and daughter-in-law (Rollo and Jenny Sherwill).  He died at his son's home on 25 September 1968 at the age of 78.

Schedule a consultation and treatment with our revolutionary Diamond Tome microdermabrasion system by calling (310) 998-5533.
In our Los Angeles Plastic Surgery office, we incorporate microdermabrasion in our cosmetic facials as well as our medical facials. Microdermabrasion is a technique whereby diamond microcrystals are used to exfoliate the top layer of epidermis, thereby smoothing skin complexion and reducing skin surface irregularities such as seborrheic keratosis, blemishes, clogged pores, blackheads, and fine wrinkles. Microdermabrasion can be used on the face, hands, and chest and can rejuvenate the skin. Find out more about the high-tech and safe diamond microdermabrasion system used at Kare Plastic Surgery & Skin Health Center on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica.
Enlarged pores on the nose and face.
Sun damage and uneven complexion.
Microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment for acne patients who do not want to incorporate harsh chemical acids or antibiotics into their acne regimen. By unclogging pores and exfoliating the skin, microdermabrasion can clear active and future comedones that will lead to acne. Schedule an appointment for microdermabrasion in Santa Monica or Beverly Hills. We would recommend the Diamond Tome microdermabrasion system because it provides controlled exfoliation of skin without harmful side effects. Microdermabrasion has been shown to minimize clogged pores and decrease the onset and duration of acne breakouts. If you are planning an important event or wedding and are having acne breakouts, Diamond Tome microdermabrasion is an ideal way to treat your skin. Microdermabrasion removes the outermost layer of skin, leaving the pores free of debris and sebum that can cause acne.
If you have large pores and other benign problems of the skin, the microdermabrasion systemmay improve these skin issues during treatment. Many patients also complain of overactive oil glands and skin tags, which can both be managed during your treatment with hyfrecation therapy, a minimal recovery procedure performed under local anesthesia.
Can I combine microdermabrasion with a chemical peel? Yes. Microdermabrasion combined with a Kare Radiant Peel would be ideal for acne and acne prone skin. The Diamond Microdermabrasion effectively eliminates sebum and exfoliates clogged pores, while the chemical peel, using a combination of Salicylic and TCA acids, reduce pore size and sebum production. The combined Microderm+Kare Radiant peel can be performed to reduce acne breakouts before a major event.
Can I combine microdermabrasion with an IPL photofacial? In our Santa Monica office, we often combine microdermabrasion with an IPL photofacial to eliminate brown spots and reduce acne. The microdermabrasion effectively reduces clogged pores and eliminates skin, while the IPL photofacial targets brown spots and age spots as well as facial redness. The reduction in inflammatory mediators helps reduce acne breakouts. Learn more about IPL.
SUNSCREEN: One week after your scar revision treatment, our office recommends complete avoidance of direct sun exposure and twice daily application of a sunscreen. We recommend the Melarase AM Daily UV Protect with SPF 30. You may purchase Melarase AM from our office during your treatment or thereafter on www.KareSkin.com . Melarase AM contains SPF 30 combined with non-hydroquinone skin lighteners to enhance skin color and prevent skin discoloration. Studies have shown superior results with combination treatments that includes microdermabrasion and daily use of topical creams. SPF usually refers to protection against UVB, but Melarase AM provides broad spectrum sunscreens that protect against UVA and UVB.


No prep racing hasn't taken off in Australia yet like it has in the USA, but that may soon change with the Warrnambool And District Drag Racing Association to run an event at Warrnambool Aerodrome with a $10,000 prize pool on January 19, 2019.
With a $5,000 prize each for big tyre and small tyre classes, the organisers hope to attract up to 100 entries for the classes.
Club president Paul Cleaver told The Warrnambool Standard that such prizemoney had never before been offered by the club.
"It is raised to draw cars and drivers to come and the $10,000 prize is very different to the $300-$400 and trophy we used to give out and really make it into a big meeting," he said.

Thieves steal, completely destroy paralyzed student's wheelchair-accessible truck
Posted 3:28 pm, November 13, 2019, by Tribune Media Wire
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A University of Missouri-Kansas City student is looking for help after his wheelchair-accessible truck was stolen.
The truck was found, but only after the expensive modifications that allow him to drive it were trashed.
"I'm still just kind of shaken-up," second year business student Ryan Kempker told WDAF. "It doesn't seem like this is really happening. I don't see why anyone would target something like that. It's really no use to most people."
Ever since a car crash in 2006 left Kempker paralyzed from the waist down, he's depended on his customized truck, a four-door GMC Duramax Diesel truck to get him around.
It was a pricey project he estimates costs more than $20,000.
"It has a custom-built seat in it that comes down and picks me up and puts me back in the truck," Kempker said. "It's got a hand-control for the fuel and braking system. It`s got a lift on the back that comes around picks the chair up and sets it on the back."
Kempker said he was on his way to a physical therapy class Tuesday morning when he noticed his truck was missing from the fourth floor of UMKC parking garage on Cherry Street.
He said he immediately contacted campus police, who were able to confirm through surveillance video that his truck was stolen Sunday morning around 6 a.m.
Late Tuesday evening KCPD officers found the truck abandoned and took it to the city tow lot.
The amount of damage left Kempker stunned.
"It is completely destroyed," he said. "They ripped my wheelchair lift off of it. They broke two windows, blew a tire out, ripped the navigation system out of it, ripped the system completely out of it, tore the seats up and completely trashed the vehicle within two days."
His truck wasn't the only thing stolen. The thieves took his arm cycle, located in the back of the truck, that he was using to train for a Spartan race next summer.
Kempker said, without his truck, he doesn't know what to do next.
"It gets me around and does everything I need to do, so I'm kind of lost without it right now," Kempker said.

Lent 2021, Day 18: Very, very, very wrong.
Blog, Religion & Politics
Jeremiah Johnson [screengrab/Youtube]
Well, this is something. From Religion News Service:
Jeremiah Johnson, the self-described prophet who faced backlash from fellow evangelical Christians after publicly apologizing for prophesying former President Donald Trump would be reelected president, is ending Jeremiah Johnson Ministries.
The announcement comes "after much prayer and the clear direction of the Lord," Johnson said Monday (March 8) on his Facebook page.
It also comes after his abrupt two-week hiatus in the middle of a YouTube series he titled "I Was Wrong."
While I applaud his owning up to his (huge) mistake, I am left wondering, if he is a prophet, why didn't he get the "clear direction of the Lord" before he wrongly prophesied to hundreds of thousands that Trump would get a second term? Did he choose to boldly declare "Thus says the Lord" while knowing full well it really was, "So says I"?
Johnson said during the series, which he described as a money loser, that apologizing wasn't enough.
"I believe that it is a tremendous mistake to take the next four years to argue and debate and cause division and grow more prideful talking about how we think the election was taken from Donald Drumpf. I actually believe we need to take the next four years and humble ourselves," he said.
"We need to recognize that God is up to something far greater in the prophetic, charismatic movement that I believe is beyond what many even recognize. We need to stop, we need to take a breather and we need to come back to a place where we can begin to dialogue about these issues rather than be so triggered."
I don't even recognize the charismatic movement of today compared to the one in which I grew up. Don't get me wrong, there's always been a lot of messiness going on, but the way some people treat messages from Q like a missing chapter of the book of Daniel, feels extremely scary. Anyway, the end of Jeremiah Johnson Ministries will not be the end of Jeremiah Johnson:
His new website outlines plans for a ministry called The Altar Global.
Instead of offering what Johnson called "prophetic commentary" on current events, The Altar Global will "help prepare the Bride of Christ for the return of our glorious Bridegroom King Jesus," according to the website.
That includes a one-year intensive program called The Altar School of Ministry, based in Concord, North Carolina, where Johnson and others will train students "on the lifestyle of an end-time messenger and the return of the Lord." It also includes local and national conferences, monthly Zoom calls with supporters and books and other resources.
And just like that, it's later-latter rain, and a brand new Upper Room, complete with monthly Zoom calls. Sigh. While the Old Testament had a pretty harsh prescription to remedy the illness of false prophets, people today don't need to polish up any stones to stop the lies. Simply stop supporting them. When Johnson's social media pages disappear, don't like his new ones. Don't listen to anymore sermons or "prophecies". And definitely do not send him any money. He was wrong. He's admitted it. He can have his time to "breathe" in "humility." He can also have an unlimited amount of thoughts and prayers. Respectfully.
Read Jesus' words on false prophets in Matthew 7:15-20.
Spend some time thinking about what type of fruits you're growing.

There has occurred a recent flap, as Instagram, recently bought by Facebook, apparently has instituted a policy that requires posters to give consent to Instagram's subsequent reuse of their photos for commercial purposes.
Other photo services, like Picasa as a part of Google, allow users to keep total intellectual property ownership of photos. It would seem that Instagram and Facebook will probably have to change in this regard.
One obvious problem is that if someone else's picture is taken and then reused by Instagram, that could result in a violation of that third person's right of publicity or sometimes a misappropriation of that person's privacy rights. Instagram is complicating an already escalating problem with photos of people which could sometimes affect their online reputations, as has been pointed out on Anderson recently but has gotten little legal traction so far.
The Washington Post has a story by Craig Timberg, link here.
And the CNET story by Declan McCullagh points out the possible effect on photo subjects who did not give consent.

Chippewa man sentenced to 15 years in prison for killing his mother
By Jack RooneyWooster Daily RecordGateHouse Media Ohio
Mar 21, 2019 at 7:27 AM Mar 21, 2019 at 4:16 PM
WOOSTER — Charles Ferguson, the Chippewa Township man who fatally stabbed his 73-year-old mother last September, will spend at least 15 years in prison, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Ferguson, 56, of the 14700 block of Oak Grove Drive, received a sentence of 15 years to life. He pleaded guilty last month to one count of murder, an unspecified felony. Judge Corey Spitler gave Ferguson credit for 198 days served in the Wayne County Jail.
Ferguson had been in the jail since Labor Day, when he stabbed his mother Linda multiple times in their residence in the Oak Park Estates mobile home park, authorities said. Capt. Doug Hunter, of the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, said Charles Ferguson and his mother got into a dispute that led to the stabbing.
Officials initially believed Linda Ferguson's wounds were serious, but not life-threatening. But after Linda Ferguson died of her injuries in late October, prosecutors secured a supplemental indictment charging Charles Ferguson with murder.
Before Spitler issued his sentence Wednesday, Ferguson's sister Lori Currington addressed the court, and said the entire situation has "been a nightmare."
"It took (my mom) a long time to die, and I was there every day to watch her," Currington said.
But, Currington said, her mother's death is not a black and white issue. She said her parents and brothers all struggled with substance abuse, and she and her sibling had to fend for themselves while they were growing up.
"By the time my brothers were like 15 and 16, they were living on the streets because nobody wanted to be bothered with them, because my mom and dad were dealing with their own personal struggles with alcohol and all kinds of things," she said.
Currington said her brother, whom she calls Chuck, started getting in trouble from the time he was young, before eventually starting to turn his life around.
"Chuck finally quit going to prison. He quit getting into trouble. He kept the same job for like 15 years," Currington said. "But he ended up living with my mom, along with my other older brother, because for some reason they could never get their lives together to where they could support themselves."
And that, Currington said, caused problems.
"Chuck's relationship with my mom was always contentious, bitter," she said. " ... Nothing about this is black and white. My mom also, like everybody else in the family, enjoyed drinking. And when she drank she could become very ugly."
This led to frequent arguments, Currington said, and ultimately caused her to stop visiting her mom and brothers about a year before the stabbing. But now, she said, a lengthy prison sentence for Charles Ferguson would not improve the family's situation.
"My family's pretty much shattered. And for my brother to die in prison doesn't in any way make any of that seem any better," Currington said.
And ultimately, she still loves her brother, she said.
"I know he killed her and I know that can't be changed. And I can't imagine how he feels right now, because it's a horrible thing to become drunk and psychotic and do something that you cannot fix," Currington said. "And I know that's what Chuck lives with every day. And I just wanted to make sure people know that it's not black and white at all. This is a very gray thing. And I love my brother. I hate what he did, but I love him."
Ferguson declined to make a statement to the court. But Spitler, before issuing his sentence, said he recognized that this case, like most he hears, is not clear-cut.
"I don't really have much to say other than I just want to comment on what your sister said, that this is not black and white. That's true of most sentencings that I deal with, they're not black and white," Spitler told Ferguson. "It's unfortunate to hear that due to your upbringing, due to your alcohol consumption, due to the way you lived your life, it ended up with you killing your mother."

Growing up, birthdays always meant cake and ice cream. And things remained that way until I attended my first birthday as a married woman. It was a family birthday party, with lots of food and drink. When it came time for the cake, I was anxious for a little ice cream. Imagine my surprise, when instead of cake and ice cream, all the guests were served cake and jello. JELLO!!! I couldn't understand why, but Hubby and the rest of the family explained that this was common practice in Mexico.
Over the years, I have learned to make many gelatin recipes, even invented a few myself. This recipe is my kiddies favorite. The great thing about this recipe is that it is very versatile. You can vary the jello flavor and the canned fruit to suit your taste. For this recipe I used orange flavored jello and canned mandarin oranges.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Dissolve one envelope of gelatin in hot water; stir in 1 cup of cold water. Let cool to room temperature.
Pour cooled gelatin into blender cup. Puree with the cream cheese until very smooth. Pour into a 13x9-inch baking dish. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until gelatin has set.
Open can of mandarin oranges, drain but reserve the light syrup in a measuring cup. Arrange mandarin orange slices over cream cheese gelatin.
Pour enough water into syrup from the oranges to equal 1-1/2 cups; set aside.
Bring another 2 cups of water to a boil in the same saucepan as before. Dissolve the other box of gelatin powder in hot water. Stir in reserved juices. Let cool to room temperature. Pour over mandarin oranges. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until gelatin has set.
Thank You!, This looks very good!!!
Thank you! My hubby has enjoyed browsing through this blog, he's the better cook between the two of us. I'm hoping I will improve with more time here...this blog will help for sure.
I bet it tastes like a 50/50 bar!
Leslie, I cannot find canned mandarin oranges anywhere! Did you have trouble finding them? The only thing I can seem to find in canned fruit are peaches and pineapple.
Canned mandarin oranges aren't something that one can easily find in Mexico. Fortunately, we have one store that is always on the lookout for "American" ingredients. It was pure luck that I was able to find them.
You might try making a different flavor. I've made this gelatin with every jello and fruit that I have been able to find. Peach jello and canned peach slices. Cherry jello with maraschino cherries. Strawberry jello with frozen mixed berries. (Another rare find!) Or any flavor jello and canned fruit cocktail. All very good!
Leslie, I tried this recipe for my sisters Thanksgiving gathering. Everyone loved it! It was so delicious!!, Thank You so much for sharing.
orange jello and cream cheese- delish! Thanks for sending me this link. I'll have to try it someday.
My boss is from Venezuela and they make a Jello salad that's made with condensed milk and has a bunch of different color gelatin cubes in it. I think it's really pretty but I like a simpler salad.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory drops, the possibility of uploading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.
OH, I am making this! I have boxes of jello in my pantry and plain jello was getting boring. Can't wait to try it! I'm learning so much from you!

The recent survey of students who increasingly see higher education as a gateway to economic security rather than to wisdom (news article, Jan. 12) charts a reality that many of us teaching at public colleges confront daily in our classrooms. What surveys don't show but we can see are the factors behind these changing attitudes.
Students at the City University of New York, where I am a professor, have much to worry about. The cuts in higher education financing have resulted in a devastating decrease of student aid. This money is essential for our students, whose economic lives are already precarious. Not surprisingly, they are eager to become quickly credentialed so as to achieve financial stability. State regulations fuel this haste by providing aid only for full-time students, for only eight semesters. Additionally, complex tuition policies encourage students to take more credits than are academically advisable.
Until these conditions and the values they propagate change, our students will prudently focus on job preparation while in college rather than developing a ''life philosophy.'' Ironically, they will thereby miss exposure to the very tools and values that could help them change things.


This company is a total fraud..they call you up saying you have won a free photo shoot for you and your friends/family but in actual fact you have won nothing they ask you to put in a deposite of £149.97 for three people saying it's fully refundable all you have to do is attend. BUT on the date of the appointment they try they pressurise and bully you into buying and makes "rules and regulations" on the spot which makes no sense. The viewer is very rude and very argumentative if you refuse. if you have experienced this please let the trading standard, business bereau and bbc watchdog know!

'It's disturbing and violative': The Last Of Us creators reveal why they chose to film THAT stomach-churning kissing scene in episode two
The creators of The Last Of Us have discussed the stomach-churning kissing scene that got viewers talking in episode two.
The show is centered around the parasitic Cordyceps fungus – which tends to infect insects – evolving to control the human race and according to the showrunner Craig Mazin, is 'real.'
The second episode introduced viewers to the 'clickers', humans who have become so infected with the fungus they are no longer recognisably human.
Tense: The creators of The Last Of Us have discussed the stomach-churning kissing scene that got viewers talking in episode two
The episode ended with Tess (Anna Torv) sacrificing herself to save Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey).
After already becoming infected, Tess doused a building in gasoline and lured the infected towards her, allowing the other two to escape.
Just as she lit the flame, viewers watched as one of the infected leaned in and kissed her, with its tendrils going into her mouth.
The Last Of Us creators Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin discussed the scene with Variety, which they described as 'disturbing'.
Plot: The show is centered around the parasitic Cordyceps fungus – which tends to infect insects – evolving to control the human race (show star Pedro Pascal pictured)
Horrifying: The second episode introduced viewers to the 'clickers', humans who have become so infected with the fungus they are no longer recognisably human
Mazin said: 'We were already talking about tendrils coming out and we were asking these philosophical questions, 'Why are infected people violent? If the point is to spread the fungus, why do they need to be violent?' We landed on that they don't.
'They're violent because we resist, but what if you don't? What does it look like if you just stand perfectly still and let them do this to you?
'Then we landed on this nightmare fuel. It's disturbing and it's violative. I think it's very primal in the way it invades your own body. To use an overused word, it's triggering.'
The show changed the plot of the video game, in which Anna was killed by soldiers.
Stars: The series follows the same characters Joel – played by Pedro Pascal – and Ellie – played by Bella Ramsey – as they cross the country after the fungus takes over society
The series follows the same characters Joel – played by Pedro Pascal – and Ellie – played by Bella Ramsey – as they cross the country after the fungus takes over society.
The parasitic fungal infection – inspired by the real-life ophiocordyceps unilateralis – killed off 60% of the population and has four stages of infection, which increasingly causes humans to resemble zombie-like monsters that use echolocation.
It takes someone over a decade to reach stage four of the infection where they develop hardened fungal plates, release infectious spores, and are increasingly difficult to kill.
The Last of Us also features Nick Offerman, Melanie Lynskey, Storm Reid, Gabriel Luna and Merle Dandridge.

It currently has a 'certified fresh' 99% critic approval rating (out of 102 reviews) and a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Last of Us is a small-screen adaptation of Naughty Dog's best-selling 2013 motion-capture video game of the same name, which appeared to be heavily inspired by AMC's The Walking Dead and Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film Children of Men.
'We are thrilled to see fans of the series and game alike experience this iconic story in a new way, and we extend our gratitude to them for helping to make it a success,' HBO chairman Casey Bloys said in a statement.
'Congratulations to Craig, Neil, and the brilliant cast and crew who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. We look forward to fans around the world enjoying the rest of the season.'

This wedding was FUN! Boy could these two make each laugh and fill a room with pure joy when they were in it. It was such an honour to see these two genuinely best friends tie the knot under a beautiful old tree in the country.
Introducing Jesse & his darling Jess. Maybe it's the romantic, country atmosphere or the most picturesque views as far as the eye can see or the undoubtable sense of love in the air but we are truly in awe of this wedding.

Kanye West pays $85k for the rights of Whitney Houston's drug bathroom pic

Kanye West pays $85k for the rights of Whitney Houston's drug bathroom pic, wow.
Via Billboard:
On Wednesday (May 23), Pusha T fired a flurry of tweets regarding his hotly anticipated album Daytona -- formerly known as King Push -- and how this project was strictly for his "family." The seven-track album, which features Kanye West and Rick Ross, has once again encountered another alteration: a new album cover.
In an interview with Angie Martinez earlier this week, Pusha explained how Kanye called him late Tuesday night and requested that he change the album cover. "[Kanye West] changed my artwork last night at 1 a.m. because he wasn't feelin' it," he says. Later, Pusha goes on to explain how Kanye originally enlisted a photographer to handle the cover art but later had a change of heart. "The [original] artwork was pictures that we all agreed on," explains Pusha. "He picked this photographer, we took these pictures [...] We picked the pictures. Great. We love it. Everything is good."
Steadfast on changing Pusha's album cover, West offered a pricier alternative. He cajoled his G.O.O.D. Music cohort into changing the album cover and later paid $85,000 -- out of his own pocket -- to use a 2006 photo of Whitney Houston's bathroom, according to Hip-Hop-N-More. The ominous flick displays drugs scattered all throughout the bathroom and spraypainted figures gracing the desecrated walls. In a 2013 memoir titled Remembering Whitney, Houston's mom re-enacted the time she walked into her daughter's bathroom mortified by what she had just seen.
"They were evil eyes, staring out like a threat. And in another room, there was a big, framed photo of Nippy [Whitney's nickname], Bobby [Brown] and Krissi [daughter Bobbi Kristina}, but someone had cut Nippy's head right out of it." Take a look at the photo below. Also, you can check out Pusha's interview with Angie below. Daytona drops Friday. Billboard reached out to Pusha's reps for comment.

Vivid Sydney Welcomes Hollywood Stars to Baz Luhrmann s Headline Talk and Elvis Sydney Premiere
Visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann was joined by Hollywood heavyweights Tom Hanks, Austin Butler, and Olivia Dejonge on a star-studded red-carpet at Vivid Sydney tonight, for the Sydney Premiere of Elvis. Presented by Warner Bros. Pictures and Vivid Sydney, this is the first time in the festival's 12-year history a movie premiere has been included in the official program. Luhrmann's first appearance at Vivid Sydney was earlier in the day, where he joined acclaimed journalist Marc Fennell for a thought-provoking talk, The Business of Baz, as part of Vivid Ideas' headline Global Storytellers series. The conversation covered the remarkable rise and rise of Baz's career, from his humble beginnings in small-town New South Wales (NSW), Australia to the dazzling heights of Hollywood, capturing audiences along the way with his signature style and powerfully storytelling. Vivid Sydney, the annual festival of Light, Music and Ideas, will transform the Harbour City into an illuminating fusion of creativity and innovation until Saturday 18 June. Featuring more than 85 intriguing talks, workshops and immersive experiences, Vivid Ideas explores the forces shaping our society, starting conversations that continue long after the festival has ended. Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade, Minister for Tourism and Sport and Minister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the Sydney premiere of Elvis is another example of how Vivid Sydney is pushing the boundaries to deliver the biggest, brightest and best line-up ever. "Vivid Sydney 2022 is off to a flying start with our largest opening weekend ever, seeing 435,000 people in Sydney's central business district enjoying all the festival and we're expecting a similar turnout this weekend," Mr Ayres said. "This is another festival first, the first time a movie premiere is part of the official program. Vivid Sydney is constantly evolving and looking for fresh, new ways to engage audiences, while supporting the local events and creative industries. The Business of Baz and the Elvis premiere tickets have been snapped up, with more than 1,400 tickets sold. It's thrilling to see the theatre packed and the visitor economy humming." Festival Director Gill Minervini added "Baz Luhrmann joins a powerful, thought-provoking Vivid Ideas line-up for 2022, as a Global Storyteller alongside Aaron Sorkin, Gretchen Carlson and Troye Sivan. Baz is a creative visionary with a body of work that embodies everything Vivid Ideas is about - celebrating those who push creative boundaries, tell stories that challenge the status quo and drive change for good. Both he and Catherine Martin personify Sydney style and creativity." Baz Luhrmann said "I grew up in a very small town in regional NSW. When I was 15 years old I used to come to the city and watch movies, and now I am back in Sydney talking about movies. There's even one opening tonight - Elvis. It's home for me and I just feel so comfortable being here. It's so wonderful to be part of Vivid Sydney."

General Condition The courts are moderately maintained.
Other Amenities There are scoreboards, raised ball holders, benches, Restrooms are visible, but at some distance, and are probably open during peak public use times. The Ferndale Bocce Club has an adjacent locked shed, which holds court maintenance equipment and other bocce supplies. These courts are the home of the Kiwanis-sponsored annual Beer & Bocce Tournament.


This video shows how to create the XML layout for the Dialog responsible for adding items in our Bucket Drops app. In the first step we create the layout file with a RelativeLayout as the root element, it has a TextView that displays "Add a Drop" followed by an ImageButton to let the user close the Dialog. We have an EditText below to let the person enter their drop or goal and a custom Date Picker that lets them set the Date below this followed finally by the Button that lets you add a drop. We use the Android Studio Drawable Importer plugin to add the necessary icons.

Q: Laravel queued job success notification I am curious how can I know when a queued job completed successfully to potentially notify the relevant user, if they choose to receive notifications.
Specifically I am working with a Laravel Excel export with the ShouldQueue trait. It includes a handy method to handle failed jobs, so I can notify the user on failure if needed (see https://docs.laravel-excel.com/3.1/exports/queued.html#handling-failures-in-queued-exports). I'm assuming there isn't some success method that is either undocumented, or documented where I am not finding it, so....
Is there a way to use Laravel's queuing system to detect when a job is finished? Even if I don't truly know the status (success or fail) and I only know the job is done, I could check for the existence of the export file to confirm it was successful to trigger notification.
Thanks.

A: You can manage this by adding the below code to your AppServiceProvider.php
public function boot()
{
Queue::before(function (JobProcessing $event) {
// $event->connectionName
// $event->job
// $event->job->payload()
});

Queue::after(function (JobProcessed $event) {
// $event->connectionName
// $event->job
// $event->job->payload()
});
}

For More details, you can refer https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/queues

A: So while @Yudiz Solutions answer is correct in general. I found a better way that is specific to a queued Laravel Excel export job like I mentioned I have.
I just found this in the docs https://docs.laravel-excel.com/3.1/exports/queued.html#appending-jobs
So while there isn't an explicit success method like there is for failure I can chain on a second job that is dependent on the first and have the second job handle the notification.
Funny enough I have probably scrolled by this section in the docs so many times without realizing that it was either there or that it was the answer to my need of notifying the user on success.
Even take away the specific context of this being a Laravel Excel export job I think chaining a success notification like this would still be possible and is probably a better way to go for any job where it is specific to a given job.
@Yudiz Solutions answer is better suited for something that should run after every (or at least most) jobs generally.

So here we have admitted evidence of vote fraud in one college town in one year, but not prosecuted. Just like Governor Lynch's so-called awesome (and impossibly low) High School drop out rate, if you want to make something go away without actually doing anything about it, you ignore it, hide it, re-define it, or simply find enough people who might benefit from it to make it legal.
And while stuffing local ballot boxes with the votes of out of state residents was not new, making it legal made it easier for Democrats to continue to get the votes while reducing significant neck strain from state officials and Democrat party hacks having to look the other way.
Odds are very good that 1700 or so out of state UNH students registering to vote in New Hampshire was not a coincidence, nor was the 'Bud' Fitch cookie cutter response to make it all go away. So it is reasonable to assume that before 2000 and after, college students in New Hampshire, who are legally domiciled outside the state by their own admission, and who were and are still paying out of state tuition, have been trying (even encouraged), and to some degree have succeeded, in stealing the votes of legitimate residents in the Granite State.
UNH is not the only college, nor is Durham the only college town in New Hampshire. And this is why New Hampshire Democrats have been watering down same day voter registration rules, domicile or proof of residency rules, object to voter ID, and put in place regulations to limit challenging voters. They wanted tens of thousands of same day registration voters and all those out of state college students who vote Democrat, to be able to get on the checklists and then seal your votes for years on end, without leaving any trail of voter fraud bread crumbs that anyone else might be able to follow. The 2000 election was a close call. Can't have any more of that kind of publicity. The State had a history of ignoring vote fraud for a reason. They didn't want to admit they had any. But it's been around, in many forms, for a long time.
This is the legacy of vote fraud in New Hampshire, that the New Hampshire Democrat parties complicity in legalizing it for political advantage. By the time William Hudson Connery III was publicly summoning students domiciled outside the state to vote here, the Democrats had made vote stealing legal. So Mr. Connery did not commit voter fraud in regards to the law, but only because New Hampshire Democrats had institutionalized vote theft by allowing him to claim to live outside the state but still vote here in New Hampshire.
One other example to bring the point home. When political activists tried to re-write law so that any student registered to vote in New Hampshire–domiciled here for voting purposes–would receive the benefit of in-state tuition, the university system freaked out, and the collective left rose up to oppose it.
Talk about a revenue problem. Out of state tuition is a great deal more expensive. The party and people of equality were more than happy to give out of state students parity for voting purposes to make decisions that would affect how your tax dollars were spent (because they would overwhelmingly vote Democrat) but not for the cost of an out of state education that would significantly impact the university systems bottom line. They were still required to pay out of state tuition rates, but hey–no absentee ballots for these out of state students–let them vote here.
Out of state students get caught, re-write the law so that they still have to pay out of state rates but can claim to live here to steal your votes. They water down same day registration ID requirements, they make it practically a crime to challenge a voter at the polls, make it almost impossible to track, spot, or report fraud, and refuse to investigate or prosecute it when it happens….and then declare that we don't have a voter fraud problem.
When you make it legal for out of state students (or any same day registrants) to affect local elections, then remove every barrier set to prevent fraud, you'll never find any. Couple that with the desire to perpetuate the myth of no vote fraud by refusing to investigate or prosecute, you make it difficult for opponents to make the case that Democrats and the entrenched bureaucracy support vote theft and voter fraud, but thanks to the words of NH Democrat House candidate William Connery III, and what we know already about 2000, and the path to legalized ballot stuffing–the lefts legislative history on the matter, and don't forget the ease with which dead people can be used to steal votes, as well as many other examples not mentioned here, we know there is fraud, it favors Democrats, and they will do anything to hide it from you.
TEA Party New Hampshire Republicans tried to undo the ballot stuffing damage, and Democrats did everything they could to stop it. And since New Hampshire Democrats like out of state influence and vote stealing in your local elections, they would happily send us back to the days when that kind voter fraud was legal, if you let them, becasue they benefit from it.

* ``Cake\Chronos\ChronosInterval`` is an extension to the ``DateInterval``
  object.

Lastly, if you want to typehint against Chronos-provided date/time objects you
should use ``Cake\Chronos\ChronosInterface``. All of the date and time objects
implement this interface.

Creating Instances
------------------

There are many ways to get an instance of Chronos or Date. There are a number of
factory methods that work with different argument sets::

    use Cake\Chronos\Chronos;

    $now = Chronos::now();
    $today = Chronos::today();
    $yesterday = Chronos::yesterday();
    $tomorrow = Chronos::tomorrow();

    // Parse relative expressions
    $date = Chronos::parse('+2 days, +3 hours');

    // Date and time integer values.
    $date = Chronos::create(2015, 12, 25, 4, 32, 58);

    // Date or time integer values.
    $date = Chronos::createFromDate(2015, 12, 25);
    $date = Chronos::createFromTime(11, 45, 10);

    // Parse formatted values.
    $date = Chronos::createFromFormat('m/d/Y', '06/15/2015');

Working with Immutable Objects
------------------------------

If you've used PHP's ``DateTime`` objects, you're comfortable with *mutable*
objects. Chronos offers mutable objects, but it also provides *immutable*
objects. Immutable objects create copies of objects each time an object is
modified. Because modifier methods around datetimes are not always transparent,
data can be modified accidentally or without the developer knowing.
Immutable objects prevent accidental changes to
data, and make code free of order-based dependency issues. Immutability
does mean that you will need to remember to replace variables when using
modifiers::

    // This code doesn't work with immutable objects
    $time->addDay(1);
    doSomething($time);
    return $time;

    // This works like you'd expect
    $time = $time->addDay(1);
    $time = doSomething($time);
    return $time;

By capturing the return value of each modification your code will work as
expected. If you ever have an immutable object, and want to create a mutable
one, you can use ``toMutable()``::

    $inplace = $time->toMutable();

Date Objects
------------

PHP only provides a single DateTime object. Representing calendar dates can be
a bit awkward with this class as it includes timezones, and time components that
don't really belong in the concept of a 'day'. Chronos provides a ``Date``
object that allows you to represent dates. The time and timezone for these
objects is always fixed to ``00:00:00 UTC`` and all formatting/difference
methods operate at the day resolution::

    use Cake\Chronos\Date;

    $today = Date::today();

    // Changes to the time/timezone are ignored.
    $today->modify('+1 hours');

    // Outputs '2015-12-20'
    echo $today;

Modifier Methods
----------------

Chronos objects provide modifier methods that let you modify the value in
a granular way::

    // Set components of the datetime value.
    $halloween = Date::create()
        ->year(2015)
        ->month(10)
        ->day(31)
        ->hour(20)
        ->minute(30);

You can also modify parts of a date relatively::

    $future = Date::create()
        ->addYear(1)
        ->subMonth(2)
        ->addDays(15)
        ->addHours(20)
        ->subMinutes(2);

It is also possible to make big jumps to defined points in time::

    $time = Chronos::create();
    $time->startOfDay();
    $time->endOfDay();
    $time->startOfMonth();
    $time->endOfMonth();
    $time->startOfYear();
    $time->endOfYear();
    $time->startOfWeek();
    $time->endOfWeek();

Or jump to specific days of the week::

    $time->next(ChronosInterface::TUESDAY);
    $time->previous(ChronosInterface::MONDAY);

When modifying dates/times across :abbr:`DST (Daylight Savings Time)` transitions
your operations may gain/lose an additional hours resulting in hour values that
don't add up. You can avoid these issues by first changing your timezone to
``UTC``, modifying the time::

    // Additional hour gained.
    $time = new Chronos('2014-03-30 00:00:00', 'Europe/London');
    debug($time->modify('+24 hours')); // 2014-03-31 01:00:00

    // First switch to UTC, and modify
    $time = $time->setTimezone('UTC')
        ->modify('+24 hours');

Once you are done modifying the time you can add the original timezone to get
the localized time.

Comparison Methods
------------------

Once you have 2 instances of Chronos date/time objects you can compare them in
a variety of ways::

    // Full suite of comparators exist
    // ne, gt, lt, lte.
    $first->eq($second);
    $first->gte($second);

    // See if the current object is between two others.
    $now->between($start, $end);

    // Find which argument is closest or farthest.
    $now->closest($june, $november);
    $now->farthest($june, $november);

You can also inquire about where a given value falls on the calendar::

    $now->isToday();
    $now->isYesterday();
    $now->isFuture();
    $now->isPast();

    // Check the day of the week
    $now->isWeekend();

    // All other weekday methods exist too.
    $now->isMonday();

You can also find out if a value was within a relative time period::

    $time->wasWithinLast('3 days');
    $time->isWithinNext('3 hours');

Generating Differences
----------------------

In addition to comparing datetimes, calculating differences or deltas between
two values is a common task::

    // Get a DateInterval representing the difference
    $first->diff($second);

    // Get difference as a count of specific units.
    $first->diffInHours($second);
    $first->diffInDays($second);
    $first->diffInWeeks($second);
    $first->diffInYears($second);

You can generate human readable differences suitable for use in a feed or
timeline::

    // Difference from now.
    echo $date->diffForHumans();

    // Difference from another point in time.
    echo $date->diffForHumans($other); // 1 hour ago;

Formatting Strings
------------------

Chronos provides a number of methods for displaying our outputting datetime
objects::

    // Uses the format controlled by setToStringFormat()
    echo $date;

    // Different standard formats
    echo $time->toAtomString();      // 1975-12-25T14:15:16-05:00
    echo $time->toCookieString();    // Thursday, 25-Dec-1975 14:15:16 EST
    echo $time->toIso8601String();   // 1975-12-25T14:15:16-05:00
    echo $time->toRfc822String();    // Thu, 25 Dec 75 14:15:16 -0500
    echo $time->toRfc850String();    // Thursday, 25-Dec-75 14:15:16 EST
    echo $time->toRfc1036String();   // Thu, 25 Dec 75 14:15:16 -0500
    echo $time->toRfc1123String();   // Thu, 25 Dec 1975 14:15:16 -0500
    echo $time->toRfc2822String();   // Thu, 25 Dec 1975 14:15:16 -0500
    echo $time->toRfc3339String();   // 1975-12-25T14:15:16-05:00
    echo $time->toRssString();       // Thu, 25 Dec 1975 14:15:16 -0500
    echo $time->toW3cString();       // 1975-12-25T14:15:16-05:00

    // Get the quarter/week
    echo $time->toQuarter();         // 4
    echo $time->toWeek();            // 52

    // Generic formatting
    echo $time->toTimeString();           // 14:15:16
    echo $time->toDateString();           // 1975-12-25
    echo $time->toDateTimeString();       // 1975-12-25 14:15:16
    echo $time->toFormattedDateString();  // Dec 25, 1975
    echo $time->toDayDateTimeString();    // Thu, Dec 25, 1975 2:15 PM

Extracting Date Components
--------------------------

Getting parts of a date object can be done by directly accessing properties::

    $time = new Chronos('2015-12-31 23:59:58');
    $time->year;    // 2015
    $time->month;   // 12
    $time->day;     // 31
    $time->hour     // 23
    $time->minute   // 59
    $time->second   // 58

Other properties that can be accessed are:

- timezone
- timezoneName
- micro
- dayOfWeek
- dayOfMonth
- dayOfYear
- daysInMonth
- timestamp
- quarter

Testing Aids
------------

When writing unit tests, it is helpful to fixate the current time. Chronos lets
you fix the current time for each class. As part of your test suite's bootstrap
process you can include the following::

    Chronos::setTestNow(Chronos::now());
    MutableDateTime::setTestNow(MutableDateTime::now());
    Date::setTestNow(Date::now());
    MutableDate::setTestNow(MutableDate::now());

This will fix the current time of all objects to be the point at which the test
suite started.

For example, if you fixate the ``Chronos`` to some moment in the past, any new
instance of ``Chronos`` created with ``now`` or a relative time string, will be
returned relative to the fixated time::

    Chronos::setTestNow(new Chronos('1975-12-25 00:00:00'));

    $time = new Chronos(); // 1975-12-25 00:00:00
    $time = new Chronos('1 hour ago'); // 1975-12-24 23:00:00

To reset the fixation, simply call ``setTestNow()`` again with no parameter or
with ``null`` as a parameter.

Cathay Pacific Compensation and Flight Reimbursement Rules:
A Detailed Guide On Cathay Pacific Compensation Policy
Cathay Pacific is not a European airline, but in case they fly in Europe they follow the European rules and regulations. But in any case it is nice for any traveller who has been affected by a flight cancellation that it in last minute then Cathy pacific has to pay-out account to the Europe
When there is the cancellation of Cathy pacific, they will offer passengers an alternative reservation to the destination, or even the full refund of money or Cathay pacific compensation in case the customer wants. But additionally, in case the flight will get canceled within 14 days prior to the departure then EU will pay the entitle money to the passenger in form of compensation.
But in another care, if the Cathay Pacific is successful in providing the substitute of the reservation with the similar time as of the original booking, the compensation will not be applicable. Also they would nor provide compensation if there is unavoidable circumstances like bad weather or fault in the engine.
Types of compensation a person can claim
If the airline is departing late from the airport, then also there is a chance that passengers can claim compensation from the airline . that is due to under EU law, in case the flight will get delayed by 3 hours for more then the airline will be entitled to pay Cathay pacific compensation.
Also, compensation will be dependent on the arrival time on the arrival destination rather than the take off the so if the airline is late by 3 hours on the arrival destination then they will have to pay some amount of compensation their passengers.
One significant pint is that if the flight delays are because of unexpected situations. This will mean that the circumstance will be outside of the airline's control, for example, the delays that are due to the bad weather or an air traffic control strike, therefore, the airline has no control over it they would not provide compensation.
How much is the compensation
Due to which these exclusions, the simplest way if the passenger needs to know the compensation is to utilize the free Cathy pacific compensation calculator located on the official website
But in case they delay is caused by the issue that can be controlled like a strike by Cathay Pacific staff, or a maintenance issue, then passengers entitled to give a flight delay compensation Cathay Pacific claim.
Also, all the passengers will be treated equally and the compensation claim will be equal to Cathay pacific reimbursements all the even if they are adults or toddlers or senior citizens, and compensation will be given via the original mode of payment in the passenger account.


It's here! Today kicks off the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco — a yearly "gathering of the tribe" AKA the wacky, creative, super-smart people that devote their lives to making games. I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. Ping me if you'll be in town for #GDC14 – perhaps we can meetup for drinks.
I hope these ideas and tools help you strike that tricky, artful balance between intrinsic pleasure and extrinsic scaffolding.

October was a big month for exciting releases and I found two of my absolute favourite reads for the year, Charlotte Wood's harrowing The Natural Way of Things (Allen & Unwin) and Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff's action-packed YA thrill-ride, Illuminae (Allen & Unwin) (and no, I'm not on the A&U payroll). For extra fist pumps, both of these books are Australian and it's super exciting to see local authors kicking arse.
October is also that horrifying time when people start counting down the weeks until Christmas. I was at my local shopping centre on the weekend and they had Santa's Cave set up amid the Halloween decorations. It was disturbing on a number of levels. But in the interest of being prepared, I spent some time scouring the interwebs for bookish gift ideas.
Spoil your favourite word nerd.
A visceral, pulsing story of women held captive.
A slow-burning debut about guilt, penance, progress, family and atonement set in the American south.
A compelling tale of mistaken identity and family secrets.
A sinister story of deception, privilege and long buried secrets.
An absolute thrill ride packed with action, romance, comedy, tragedy, moments of startling beauty, zombies and big philosophical questions to keep you wondering.
Simon Snow is back, with a whole book to himself this time! Carry On is Rainbow Rowell's answer to the Chosen One narrative. There's magic and monsters, but also lots of kissing.
Why do books for teens hold such appeal for adults, and should we be ashamed to read them?
I talk banned books in schools and remember the time a teacher confiscated one of my favourite reads.
