As I have been taking a 'working holiday' up in the North West for the last few weeks with the intention of getting out climbing on my days off. The last two weekend were either a wash out or I just couldnt face another day in grim weather. Instead I spent my days off in the comfort of a warm bouldering wall, a friends make-shift gym or hanging out in Inverness with friends.
Murdoch killing time by counting spikes and wondering how grippy Iain's knees are!?
At last the stars aligned...just. I spoke to my friend Murdoch a while ago, hatching a vauge plan to go climbing but my only problem was that I had to drop clients off at 6.30am...meaning I couldnt meet until 7am. A late start...a late finish. Maybe not the most desirable prospect for Murdoch who like to get back in good time. But Murdoch already had a plan with Iain but mentioned that I was keen and they were both happy for me to tag along. These two usually end up dong really hard routes and finishing in the dark so surely with a walk in starting at 7.45am they would settle on something easy and we can get up and down and back in time for dinner. Obviously it was their barbecue, and it smelt good, so I was happy to tag along and go with the flow. Feeling pretty fit from the last few weeks work I sent a pace to try and tire them out then we could go and have a nice 'gentlemans' day out. Something I have not been able to do this winter on my days off.
We were both hoping he didn't fall off here, neither of us wanted new air vents in out clothes.
We arrived at the bottom of Pale Rider on Beinn Eighe's Eastern Ramparts. I have climbed this route in summer and knew it would be a hard line. What did I expect from a day out with these two. The first pitch looked pretty straight forward and before I could say 'I'll do it', Iain was on his way. It looked about grade VI but as Iain took a wee while on it, it became apparent it wasn't. Pretty glad I had a top rope on it. Murdoch dispatched the steep and relatively positive second pitch leaving me overheated and pumped after I seconded it and as Iain was already at the belay it would be much quicker if he led the third. Again I was happy. It was their barbecue after all and I don't feel fit for leading hard routes this season. We topped out into a blizzard but it was still light, we managed to find our rucksacks sans map and made our way halfway down the hill before putting our kit away. Making a return to the van with only flattening the batteries in our head torches for 15 minutes. So a nice relaxed start, a speedy approach, 3 pitches of wild climbing and back in time for a nice relaxed evening. Perfect day off. Thanks Murdoch and Iain for letting me come out and having a late start.
Murdoch rested on my leg, then farted on my leg at this point, I was not impressed.


We only work at the grooming shop three days a week now. They are busy days, and long. I stay busy all morning offering assistance to the nervous clients, pet and human alike. Sometimes just positioning myself on the reception desk like a lawn statute distracts the customer from their worries. I can read their thoughts, "Oh the cat is calm, purring, and pretty, it must be okay." You could call me a service cat. I work the morning crowd but by noon, my belly bulges with treats from the staff and Judy, the dogs are settled in, relaxed from their warm bath and waiting for pick up, so it is time for my siesta.
Because the time is hectic and full, the three days pass quickly. By the third day I am eager to work, but the hours are draining and I look forward to the next four days at home.
My job at home is less taxing. As a service cat I keep a schedule. I remind Judy that sleeping in and playing "chase the feet under the covers" frees the creative juices for writing. Like most service animals my main job is distraction. My means of accomplishing that goal differs from the dog's. I succeed through cuteness and demanding attention while a dog demonstrates love and caring. We both achieve the same result, I just avoid the groveling.
In fact I want to point out that a cat's job as a companion is so often underrated by the public. Even Judy is writing a book on the merits of a service DOG. Folks don't write famous speeches about their relationship with cats. It is not that I want publicity, but I would like my species given credit.
With that said, Judy read this famous speech to me the other day. I will post it here because I don't hold grudges. Historians consider it one of the greatest speeches about a dog. Perhaps my peeps can send me some moving literature about cats. In the meantime I'll admit this says it all about the dog.
George Graham Vest (1830-1904) served as U.S. Senator from Missouri from 1879 to 1903 and became one of the leading orators and debaters of his time. This delightful speech is from an earlier period in his life when he practiced law in a small Missouri town. It was given in court while representing a man who sued another for the killing of his dog. During the trial, Vest ignored the testimony, and when his turn came to present a summation to the jury, he made the following speech and won the case.
Gentlemen of the Jury: The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.
If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.
Great speech! As I read it I was thinking if I could put "cat" in instead of "dog"....but a cat is independent and only does what he wants, when he wants it. Cats are great companions but you would have to exchange "man" for "Cat" at we are his companion and we must follow what he wants!


The council prepares a list of key decisions that will be made by the Executive or other decision makers at least four weeks before the decision will be taken. It also gives four weeks notice of any decisions that will be taken in private. In some cases, it may not be possible to achieve this but we undertake to give as much notice as practical.
The notice includes a short description of the decision to be made; who will make it; when the decision will be taken and the contact details for further information.

GTA hosts one-man volleyball team, motivational speaker | Local News
TRAVERSE CITY — A world record-holder and motivational speaker will visit Grand Traverse Academy on Jan. 7 for an event to help teenagers and young adults battling depression and suicidal thoughts.
Bob Holmes has performed in more than 6,000 venues and in front of more than six million people as a "one-man volleyball team" to show people how they can beat the odds. The 62-year-old Holmes will do the same at GTA as he challenges student and staff volleyball teams before speaking to junior high and high school students in separate assemblies at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Holmes uses volleyball as a way to speak out against bullying, suicide and drug and alcohol use.
"It wasn't the volleyball, but the message that kept me going," Holmes said. "That message is billions of times more important than my game."
Holmes has been recognized by "Ripley's Believe It or Not" for having played more games in any sport than any other athlete alive, clocking in with more than 20,000 games of volleyball. He has single-handedly beaten the Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins, Washington Redskins, Toronto Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles and a first-place beach volleyball team.

Civil Rights Timetoast
Timeline created by boshbamilton
Dred Scott v. Sandford
Court Case that decided the US Constitution did not recognize African Americans as citizens, regardless of them being slaves or free men. Rights and privileges did not apply to Dred Scott and he did not have the right to sue.
The thirteenth amendment stated that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist in the united states unless stated as a punishment to a crime.
The fourteenth amendment states that under the constitution, no American citizen shall be denied equal protection under all laws. This helped fight discrimination and Jim Crow laws.
The fifteenth amendment states that no man shall be denied the right to vote based on the color of their skin or their previous history of servitude. Slaves were now able to vote after becoming free men.
Plessy v. Ferguson
In Plessy versus Ferguson, the court upheld the decision that blacks and whites can remain separated as long as all of the faculties were made equal. This supported discrimination and brought more divide to the country.
The United States are not allowed to deny someone the right to vote based on their sex. This amendment gave rights to everyone in America to vote, women were the last group to obtain this right.
Brown v. Board of Education
In this case, the supreme court decided that it is unconstitutional to segregate whites and blacks into separate schools, even if the quality of both schools were equal at the time.
The process of giving preference to an individual who belongs to a group that was discriminated against in the past. This was put into law by president Kennedy, and is commonly a factor in job and college applications.
The twenty-fourth amendment stated that no citizen of the United States shall be denied their right to vote as a result of not being able to pay a poll tax. Poll taxes allowed the wealthy to rule the polls and silenced minorities who were not as wealthy at the time.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mass outlaw on discrimination based off of race. In no way shall the United States discriminate based off of the color of ones skin. This included faculties, schools, voting, and much more.
Poll Taxes
Poll taxes were required fees a citizen of the United States had to pay in order to vote or for their vote to be counted. This gave way to elitist control and the silencing of minorities. Many people of the lower-class could not afford this poll tax and were denied the right to vote.
Voting RIghts Act of 1965
Signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson, it outlawed discriminatory voting practices many southern states employed against African-Americans, such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and other unfair prerequisites.
A proposed amendment to the constitution, it sought to guarantee equal rights to all Americans regardless of sex. It managed to pass through congress, but was only ratified by 35 of the necessary 38 state legislatures before its deadline expired in 1982.
Regents of the University of California vs. Bakke
An important case in regards to affirmative action, it upheld that affirmative action was legal, but limited in and declared "racial quotas" were unconstitutional.
Reed vs. Reed
The supreme court ruled that administrators of estates cannot be named on the basis of sex, because of the 14th amendment.
Bowers v.Hardwick
In a five-four ruling, the supreme court declared Georgia's sodomy law constitutional. This meant that gay couples are not allowed to perform oral or anal sex even while in private.
The Americans with Disabilities Act is a civil rights act which prohibits the discrimination of a person because they are crippled or handicapped. This allowed equal opportunity to those who are handicapped in some way.
Lawrence v. Texas
In this court case, the supreme court decided that prohibiting gay sex in the privacy of ones own home was unconstitutional. This case compliments Bowers v. Hardwick. After seventeen years, the court changed their mind on a previously made decision.
Period: 1890 to 1908
White Primaries
White primaries were a method meant to disenfranchise blacks and other minorities by creating a series of barriers to voter registration. This meant that ultimately, whites were the only votes counted during these times.

Starred review of Vikings in Library Journal (plus Vikings exhibition in New York Times)
April 3, 2014 sagehouse
The April 1, 2014 edition of Library Journal praises Vikings: Life and Legend in a starred review:
"Vikings is the accompanying catalog for the major new exhibit of the same title, edited by experts from each of the three contributing museums. Editors Williams (curator, early medieval coins, British Museum), Peter Pentz (curator, Danish prehistory, National Museum of Denmark), and Matthias Wemhoff (director, Museum for Prehistory and Early History, Berlin) present the central period of the Viking Age, i.e., the ninth and tenth centuries, including treasures of the era, the latest archaeological discoveries, and discussions of the scientific tools with which they are studied. Portrayed here thematically (e.g., in material on warfare, spiritual beliefs, aristocracy, ships), with gorgeous color photos, is a heterogeneous late Iron Age society that interacted both peacefully and violently, settled and conquered, traded and pillaged, and intermarried and raped its way out of Scandinavia and across four continents. Central to the exhibit and this book is the largest ever recovered warship, Roskilde 6, which serves as the perfect icon for a period of terror and exploration, technical achievement, and cultural development by a peoples so integrally involved in seafaring, spiritually and physically. Ships for the Vikings were the primary mode of commerce and war and even served for burial; the essays on them here are especially informative. VERDICT A beautiful, accessible book, with strong interpretive narration that will be enjoyed by Viking enthusiasts, medievalists, artists interested in material culture, and newcomers to the subject."
On March 28, the New York Times reviewed the exhibition the book accompanies: Vikings in London: Just Like Family

Chotar Zom (Dasbar Zom, 6,058m), South Pillar; Nashran (5,200m), Northeast Ridge; Pois Chhish (4,400m)
Asia, Pakistan, Hindu Raj
Author: Florian Tolle
Our small French team—Eric Lantz, Didier Rognon, Arnaud Simard, and I, all from the BUC Alpin mountain club—spent July 22 to August 11 in the Dasbar Valley, south of Koyo Zom (6,871m). We explored the area and made three ascents.
Eric and Didier reached the summit of a 5,200m peak above the main valley via the northeast ridge. The climb followed an ice couloir with sections of 70° and ended with a snow ridge; they reached the summit after 800m of ascent. We named the peak Nashran, a combination of the names of our three Pakistani helpers. Nashran is a secondary summit of the beautiful Kachqiant (ca 6,000m), still unclimbed. The same pair later reached the summit of a small rock peak (4,400m) via a 700m face route of 19 pitches up to 5.10. They called the peak Pois Chhish and the route Lady Chatterley.
Didier and I also climbed the south pillar of a peak we called Chotar Zom ("small mountain," as it is far from the biggest in the area). We recorded an altitude of 6,058m on the summit by GPS. Subsequent investigation indicates this peak might be Dasbar Zom, climbed in 1968 by Austrians from the other side. Our climb began at a camp at 4,800m. The technical part consisted of two successive couloirs through loose rock bands, with ice to 55° and mixed rock at 5.4. These led to the upper snow slopes and a long, tiring plod to the top, which we reached at 4:30 p.m. To the north rose Koyo Zom, and all around we saw countless beautiful and technical climbs. Much of the descent took place during the night, with ice up to 70°, and we regained our bivouac at 11 p.m., having been on the go for 22 hours. We graded our route alpine D.
We went on this expedition, a first for all of us, to explore a seldom-visited area and to test our capacities on reasonable mountains while meeting great people. The mountains were not reasonable, but the adventure was great.

vulsive clasp of the almost frantic Adela, and resigned her in all her youthful beauty, to be immured in a living tomb. Her three young sisters less grieved at the parting, than pleased with the pageant, with hasty adieus prepared to take their place in the ceremony. "With a light step nicely modulated to the soft chanting of the nuns, the little Adeliza bearing a jewelled crucifix, led the procession, followed by Constance and Gundred, .each carrying a lighted taper and bearing between them a lily-shaped basket of wrought silver, containing the vestal habit and veil which they laid upon the altar. At the solemn call of the bishop, the fair Cicely entered, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband, and support-ed by the matron sisters passed up the long aisle, her white robes like a gathering mist floating about her fragile form, and her calm and serene countenance, beaming with such angelic sweetness from beneath thé gossamer wreath which ornamented her head, that to Maude's fanciful vision she seemed already crowned with the radiant halo of the saints. A brilliant burst of jubilant melody, pealing from the organ, accompanied the nuns in their welcoming hymn, " O Gloriosa Virginium," and a breathless silence pervaded the holy courts as the soft voice of Cicely responded, " Receive me, oh Lord ! according to thy holy word." Kneeling before the bishop she begged his benediction and the name of Cecilia her patron-saint. The reverend Father gave her the consecrated name, signed her with the sign of the cross, and sprinkled holy-water upon her gar-ments. The high mass celebrated, and the Kyrie Eleison sung, a waxen taper was placed in her hand, and seated by the chancel, she listened with devout attention, while the arch-bishop portrayed the beatitude of that high vocation, which had called her from the pomps and vanities of earthly grandeur, to the durable riches of a heavenly kingdom ; from the waning light of earthly affection to the ineffable love of the immortal bridegroom ;—from the fading lustre of an earthly diadem, to the changeless glory of an eternal 42 HEROINES OF THE CRUSADES.

The Secret of the Secret Nintendo Song
Filed to: Total RecallFiled to: Total Recall
Kazumi Totaka
Total RecallTotal Recall is a look back at the history of video games through their characters, franchises, developers and trends.
When you talk about music in Nintendo games, the first person that pops into most people's minds is the work of legendary composer Koji Kondo, the man behind the iconic scores for games like Zelda and Mario.
We're not talking about Koji Kondo today.
Instead, we're going to talk about Kazumi Totaka, who in addition to being a talent in his own right is responsible for one of the sweetest hidden treats in all of gaming.
Totaka has worked on the soundtracks to over a dozen of Nintendo's games, the most notable being Animal Crossing, Link's Awakening, Wii Sports, Yoshi's Story, Mario Paint and Pikmin 2.
Yet it's a ditty he put together for X, a Game Boy game released in 1992 (and developed by Star Fox's Argonaut), that began perhaps his most famous contribution to gaming.
In the clip below, at around 1:30, the game's normally stark, blippy soundtrack switches over to a catchy little number, 19 notes of music that sound like they fell out of an adventure game, or an antique music box.
On his next game, Mario Paint, Totaka used the tune again, this time as the intro music. And would go on to use it again, and again, and again, hiding it in nearly every game he composed music for, sometimes out in the open, other times tucking it away where it was almost impossible to find. It would become known as "Totaka's Song".
You can find it in the closing credits of Wario Land for the Vitual Boy. You can find it during a control screen briefing for Luigi's Mansion for the GameCube. You can find it twice in Link's Awakening on the Game Boy. You can even find it in X-Scape, the sequel to X, the first game he ever provided music for.
My favourite use of the song, though, comes in the Animal Crossing series. If you ask laid-back guitar-playing dog K. K. Slider to play you the "K.K. Song", he'll not only break out into Totaka's Song, but will give you a copy you can play in your little Animal Crossing house when you get home as well.
Kazumi Totaka was born in 1967
It's even likely that the character of K.K. Slider himself, one of the most popular from the series, is based on Totaka, as in Japanese he's called Totakeke (とたけけ), a name that not only sounds like the composer's name, but is one Totaka's used before (to hear a version of Totaka's Song in the Japanese edition of Link's Awakening, for example, you need to enter your name as "とたけけ").
Not every game he's worked on features the song, though. Nobody has been able to find the ditty in Wave Race 64, Wii Sports, Wii Music, Healthy Recipe Assistant 1000: DS Menu Anthology, Super Smash Bros. Brawl or the Wii's menu channel music.
That's not to say the song isn't in them! It's just that nobody has found it yet.
If you'd like to hear all the different versions and instances of the song, you can listen to them all over on nindb.
FUN FACT: Totaka isn't just a composer. He's also done some voice work: if you ever wondered where the voice of Yoshi came from (or the Pikmin!), Totaka is your man.

Helicopter crashes at Mich. hospital, no deaths
Smoke rises following a helicopter crash on top of Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich., Thursday, May 29, 2008. - photo by Associated Press
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A medical helicopter practicing approaches crashed on the roof of a hospital Thursday, catching fire moments after the two people on board escaped with minor injuries, a fire official said.
The pilot and passenger were in stable condition, said Richard Breon, president and CEO of Spectrum Health.
No patients were aboard the chopper, which crashed around 11 a.m. on a helipad atop the hospital. It landed on its side and the two people got out before it caught fire, Fire Chief John VanSolkema said.
''There's not a whole lot left, but you can tell it was a helicopter,'' VanSolkema said.
Elizabeth Isham Cory, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Chicago, said the helicopter was practicing approaches at the time of the crash.
Patients were temporarily evacuated to other buildings on the Spectrum Health campus.
All surgeries at the hospital temporarily were canceled, but were expected to resume later Thursday, said spokesman Bruce Rossman. Patients were evacuated from several floors of the hospital, but were returned to their rooms later in the day. None was injured, Rossman said.
Patients awaiting discharge were being held on the first floor of the hospital until roads leading to the facility were reopened to traffic other than emergency vehicles, he said.
A backup generator restored electricity, which went out after the Aero Med helicopter crash.
Kelli Wiltjer, a student aide in a Drug Enforcement Administration office nearby, said she looked out the window as the crash happened.
''The nose of the helicopter was kind of up and it almost looked like it was turning around, and then it dropped real fast,'' she said.
''Pieces were flying in the air'' after the impact, said Wiltjer, 23.
Another witness was watching from her office in the nearby College of Nursing at Grand Valley State University, when she saw the helicopter come in from the south.
''We were standing here at the window ... and about five minutes later, we saw the black smoke,'' said Cheryl Borgman, 58. ''It was just a big huge billow of black smoke.''
Spectrum Health Butterworth, located in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids, is part of the largest campus of Spectrum Health, which is a nonprofit health care system based in western Michigan.
Butterworth Hospital is the only Level 1 trauma center for the most serious patients in western Michigan. The hospital's emergency room was closed as a result of Thursday's crash, and patients in need of emergency medical treatment were sent to other area hospitals.

Healthy-Wealthy Future
Healthy Wealthy Futures is an initiative of the Punjab Group of colleges. A team of Doctors examine Allied School Students in their respective campuses to identify and suggest solutions for common learning difficulties, such as:
Allied Schools always strive to formulate strategies to enhance and polish the professional capabilities of its teachers. Training of the teachers for their professional development is designed keeping in view the professional requirements of our teachers. We have taken an initiative to arrange training in collaboration with Oxford University Press, Pakistan. Modules of the training have been planned on the content covering four subjects i.e. English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies as taught syllabus at Primary Level.
Allied Schools-Sabaq Foundation Support For Noble Cause Of Education
Prof Sohail Afzal – Executive Director Punjab Group of Colleges signed MOU with Mustufa Kamal Khan – Chairman Sabaq Foundation on Teaching-Learning Support for Allied Schools. Mian Amer Mehmood – Chairman Punjab Group of Colleges also graced the event with his presence at the occasion.
It is a revolutionary step in enhancing the basic skills of students and to provide them with ease of concept learning. The students can easily have access concept-based videos at the Allied School Interactive Learning Centre (ILC) based on syllabus of Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology for 9th & 10th Classes.
This step forward will surely add livelihood to the routine lectures which usually fail to catch the student's attention.
It is a fact that goal of global primary education cannot be achieved without catering to the academic and training needs of children with special needs.
Prof. Sohail Afzal, Executive Director Punjab Group of Colleges & Allied Schools signed MOU with Dr. Abdul Tawwab Khan (Sitara-i-Imtiaz), President of Rising Sun Education & Welfare Society for Training of Trainers in Special Needs and Inclusive Education.
Allied Schools have also signed a MOU with the Rising Sun. Six teachers from remote areas will be trained by the Rising Sun and later on work as trainers. A conducive resource room will be built in the schools of these six teachers to enable them to support the students with all kinds of learning disabilities.
Intel Pakistan Corporation - Allied Schools Collaboration
Among many leading educational institutions in Pakistan, Intel is working with Allied Schools (Project of Punjab Group of Colleges). The purpose of understanding between Allied schools and Intel Pakistan Corporation is pertinent for the benefit of teachers and students to bring effectiveness in Teaching-Learning process.
The collaborative framework will provide an opportunity to all stakeholders of Allied Schools to learn about the latest technology-based education solutions, which are transforming knowledge acquisition in Allied Schools across Pakistan.

Stanley Tucci hosts the GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2016
We meet actor Stanley Tucci as he preparing for his next big gig as host of the GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2016, and fresh from directing his fifth, a dramatisation of James Lord's account of sitting for a portrait by his friend Alberto Giacometti.
By Robert Johnston
Joe Connor
The adopted Brit (well, we have definitely adopted the upstate New Yorker as one of our own) is in Hugo Boss ordering his evening suit for the occasion – and coincidentally having a final fitting of his latest suit (a rather cool three piece in steel blue).
"Hugo Boss makes the sort of clothes I have always coveted," he explains. "When I was younger and moved to New York City they started dressing me – mainly because I wasn't able to dress myself. It's beautiful classic stuff so for the past 28 years or so I've been wearing Boss."
Tucci describes his style as classic. "I like wearing a suit just to wear a suit – it doesn't have to be a special occasion." He admits that of late he has been a big fan of the three-piece suit.
"It's a great experience even having done it for nearly 30 years. And in show business you're fitted all the time so it comes naturally. When you work with a great tailor, you work with a great designer it's really a wonderful collaboration. And I'm an easy client, I'm easy, I'm easy; picky but easy."
When asked if he opens his wardrobe to find 50 identical three piece suits he insists he likes to experiment. "I mix it up a little but the colour palette is pretty consistent – grey, blue, grey blue, though sometimes I will go as far as a blue grey."

Home Local News Texas murderer John Henry Ramirez to be executed after religious rights fight
Texas murderer John Henry Ramirez to be executed after religious rights fight
A Texas death row inmate is set to be executed Wednesday after winning his lengthy Supreme Court battle to have his pastor pray over him as the lethal injection is administered.
John Henry Ramirez, 38, was sentenced to death over the 2004 fatal stabbing of 46-year-old convenience store clerk Pablo Castro during a drug-fueled string of robberies.
His execution date was delayed last year after Ramirez claimed his religious freedom was being violated because state prison rules prevented his pastor from touching him and praying aloud during the procedure.
Ramirez's fight ended up clarifying the role of spiritual advisers in death chambers nationwide after the US Supreme Court sided with the convicted murderer in March.
The court ruled that states must accommodate the wishes of death row inmates who want to have their religious leaders with them during executions.
John Henry Ramirez, 38, is set to be executed in Texas on Wednesday after a lengthy Supreme Court battle to ensure his pastor could pray over him.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles declined on Monday to commute Ramirez's death sentence to a lesser penalty.
Ramirez has exhausted all possible appeals and there is no final request to the Supreme Court planned, his attorney Seth Kretzer said.
Ramirez was convicted of stabbing Castro 29 times in a robbery that cops said was the culmination of a three-day binge fueled by a mix of pot, pills, booze and cocaine — and yielded him just $1.25.
He fled to Mexico immediately after but was arrested 3 1/2 years later.
Ramirez's pastor, Dana Moore, will be able to hold a Bible and pray over the convicted murderer in the death chamber after the Supreme Court's ruling.
Ramirez was sentenced to death over the 2004 fatal stabbing of 46-year-old convenience store clerk Pablo Castro during a drug-fueled string of robberies.
Family Handout
Kretzer said that while he feels empathy for the victim's family, his client's legal challenge was about protecting religious freedoms for all — noting that even Nazi war criminals were provided ministers before their executions after World War II.
"That was not a reflection on some favor we were doing for the Nazis," Kretzer said. "Providing religious administration at the time of death is a reflection of the relative moral strength of the captors."
When Ramirez is getting his lethal injection, his spiritual adviser, Dana Moore, will also be able to hold a Bible in the death chamber, which previously hadn't been allowed, Kretzer said.
If Ramirez's execution goes ahead as planned, he would be the third inmate put to death this year in Texas and the 11th in the country.

Q: What's the difference between html[lang="en"] and html:lang(en) in CSS? The CSS language pseudo-class to allow us specify different styles for different languages, like so:
html:lang(en) .foo { ... }

However, this doesn't work in IE7, so I've been using an attribute selector:
html[lang="en"] .foo { ... }

They seem to do the same thing, but are there any subtle differences?  And if not, why does CSS even have a language pseudo-class, when the attribute selector does the exact same thing?

A: One more thing that wasn't mentioned by anybody else - :lang() pseudoclass isn't interested in how one sets the element's language. In XHTML document (true XHTML with XML MIME type), you can use xml:lang="en" and the element will match :lang(en) but not [lang="en"].

A: In HTML, both the :lang() pseudo-class and the attribute selector will match an element with the corresponding lang attribute.
The difference is that a browser may have other ways of determining the language of a given element when testing against the :lang() pseudo-class which may be defined by the document language and/or the implementation, whereas an attribute selector will only check an element for that given attribute, without any accompanying document-based semantics.
For example, in HTML, the pseudo-class will also match any of the element's descendants for which there isn't a different lang, depending on how a browser determines the language for those descendants. Usually, the descendants will inherit the language attribute from their ancestor if it is not explicitly set.
Here's what the spec says:

The difference between :lang(C) and the '|=' operator is that the '|=' operator only performs a comparison against a given attribute on the element, while the :lang(C) pseudo-class uses the UAs knowledge of the document's semantics to perform the comparison.

In this HTML example, only the BODY matches [lang|=fr] (because it has a LANG attribute) but both the BODY and the P match :lang(fr) (because both are in French). The P does not match the [lang|=fr] because it does not have a LANG attribute.

Je suis français.

Notice the specific phrasings of "has a LANG attribute" and "are in French". These two phrases have very different meanings in English, as you might imagine.
In your example, the following selector will also match your .foo element:
.foo:lang(en)

But the following selectors won't, if it doesn't have its own lang attribute set:
.foo[lang="en"]
.foo[lang|="en"]

As for browser support, the :lang() pseudo-class is supported starting from IE8, so IE7 really is the only browser you will be unable to support by using the pseudo-class over the attribute selector.
Based on this understanding you can then answer the question "which should I use": you should always use the :lang() pseudo-class by default, unless certain quirks (or the need to support IE7) require working around by using an attribute selector instead.

Selectors 4 not only brings enhanced functionality to the :lang() pseudo-class (thereby widening the gap in functionality between it and attribute selectors), but also introduces the :dir() pseudo-class for matching elements based on their directionality. Because directionality is a language-related property, the dir and lang attributes work similarly in HTML, and the difference between :dir() and its corresponding attribute selector is analogous to that between :lang() and its corresponding attribute selector — to the point where the first sentence of the following quotation is in fact a word-for-word copy of the same paragraph in the section describing :lang():

The difference between :dir(C) and ''[dir=C]'' is that ''[dir=C]'' only performs a comparison against a given attribute on the element, while the :dir(C) pseudo-class uses the UAs knowledge of the document's semantics to perform the comparison. For example, in HTML, the directionality of an element inherits so that a child without a dir attribute will have the same directionality as its closest ancestor with a valid dir attribute. As another example, in HTML, an element that matches ''[dir=auto]'' will match either :dir(ltr) or :dir(rtl) depending on the resolved directionality of the elements as determined by its contents. [HTML5]

A: According to the spec,

If the document language specifies how the human language of an element is determined, it is possible to write selectors in CSS that match an element based on its language. For example, in HTML [HTML4], the language is determined by a combination of the "lang" attribute, the META element, and possibly by information from the protocol (such as HTTP headers). XML uses an attribute called xml:lang, and there may be other document language-specific methods for determining the language.
The pseudo-class ':lang(C)' matches if the element is in language C. Whether there is a match is based solely on the identifier C being either equal to, or a hyphen-separated substring of, the element's language value, in the same way as if performed by the '|=' operator. The matching of C against the element's language value is performed case-insensitively for characters within the ASCII range. The identifier C does not have to be a valid language name.

That is:

*

*It works for the many other ways of specifying a language besides the simple lang attribute.

*

*Most importantly, as detailed in @BoltClock's answer, it will use the language specified (in whatever manner) on a container element, not just on the element itself, since language is inherited by child elements.

*It uses |= semantics, i.e. :lang(en) and :lang(us) will both match span[lang=en-us].

*It is guaranteed to be case-insensitive, whereas

The case-sensitivity of attribute names and values in selectors depends on the document language.

A: Css supports attribtue selectors for all elements, not just for the html tags lang attribute. For example html like bar could be selected like a[title=Jeeha] { ... } in css.

Vaccine mandate legal challenges muddy the waters for employers preparing to implement rules
Businesses will need to be flexible as they consider how best to comply
By David Smagalla Wall Street Journal
Fox Business Flash top headlines for November 26
Check out what's clicking on FoxBusiness.com.
The deadline for requiring U.S. workers to be vaccinated or tested weekly for COVID-19 is fast approaching, but uncertainty about how legal fights over the mandate will play out has left companies in limbo on how best to prepare.
Those tasked with making sure their companies comply with the Biden administration mandate will need to remain flexible as they take steps to implement rules set to take effect Jan. 4, legal and human resource experts say.
The rules issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration require private-sector employers with 100 or more workers to ensure their employees get fully vaccinated or take a weekly COVID-19 test and wear a mask at work. OSHA can issue fines against companies for noncompliance. The OSHA emergency temporary standard can stay in place for six months before it would need to be codified as a permanent standard that requires rule making.

The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans earlier this month granted an emergency stay prohibiting enforcement of the rules for now, saying they raised "grave statutory and constitutional issues." The Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati was randomly selected on Nov. 17 to take on legal challenges to the mandate, and on Tuesday the Biden administration filed an emergency court motion seeking the immediate reinstatement of the mandate.
Around 50% of organizations surveyed by the Society for Human Resource Management say uncertainty around the legal challenges to vaccine mandates is presenting challenges to their implementation. "The rest are actually preparing for compliance," said Emily Dickens, SHRM's chief of staff, head of government affairs and corporate secretary.
DOJ ASKS COURT TO ALLOW OSHA VACCINE MANDATE
Many businesses already were in the process of implementing different types of vaccine requirements before the emergency temporary standard, or ETS, was issued, and the emergence of the Delta variant may have further accelerated moves in that direction, said Kevin Troutman, an attorney at Fisher Phillips and a member of the law firm's COVID-19 task force.
"But certainly [when] the president's announcement…was released, people were again trying to do everything they could do to understand the requirements and start to implement them," Mr. Troutman added.
Businesses are confronting a number of implementation issues, experts say. Companies, for instance, have to decide how to record and submit compliance with the mandate, and determine whether they should strictly require employees to vaccinate against COVID-19, or allow workers who are resistant to vaccines to test weekly and mask up at work.
Additionally, despite a provision in the mandate that says employers aren't required to provide or pay for tests, businesses must decide if they should shoulder the costs to help retain employees.

"Certainly at this point where we sit today, before we're too close to the January vaccination deadline … you should be doing all of the back-office things that you are going to need to do to be in compliance," said Brett Coburn, a partner at the law firm Alston & Bird focused on employment litigation and counseling.
Keeping an eye on the appeals process is important, however. "I wouldn't make a big financial commitment in terms of testing or anything else until we know what's going to happen," said Mr. Coburn.
How a company's implementation rolls out will depend on its size, said Helene Hechtkopf, a partner at the law firm Hoguet Newman Regal & Kenney LLP focusing on employment and commercial litigation.
"I have heard of companies bringing in someone to do the testing once a week. But if you have 100 employees, and you have three unvaccinated employees, that doesn't make any sense," Ms. Hechtkopf said.
A web of state and local laws further muddies the waters. Although federal law takes precedence over state laws, it is crucial for businesses to know what other issues they may face in jurisdictions where they operate.
OSHA SUSPENDS IMPLEMENTATION OF BIDEN'S COVID VACCINE MANDATE UNTIL FURTHER COURT ORDER
This is especially true when it comes to who will pay for weekly testing, SHRM's Ms. Dickens said, adding that some cities and states already have their own mandates, and about one-third of businesses the organization surveyed already are planning to cover testing expenses.
"And remember for COVID tests, insurance may cover the costs, but there are several laws predating COVID requiring employers to pay for mandatory medical tests, or to reimburse their employees for such testing," said Ms. Dickens.
Industry experts emphasize the need for communication between employers and their staff, given the resistance to mandates among many and the lack of clarity about the legal challenges that lie ahead.
"On the one side of the spectrum, you can say nothing and you can just be quiet and wait and see how things play out in court," said Mr. Coburn. "On the other side of that spectrum, you could say, 'Well we don't care what the courts say, we're going to implement an ETS-compliant policy'…The middle point is to have some communication with your employees, but to just take head-on the fact that there is uncertainty."
The bottom line is companies should prepare for all scenarios, experts say.

"I think some companies have decided to tap the brakes a little and just see how this was all going to work out," said Mr. Troutman. "But we've certainly recommended that you, at least as an employer, continue to be prepared. And that means, at least where you're able to, assess…who's vaccinated and who's not in your workplace…If you don't do that much, at least, and let's say that the ETS moves forward on or close to the current schedule, you'd really be behind the eight ball."

My intention is to post weekly and I invite you to contact me with any burning topics. Is there anything you would like us to discuss or receive tips and advice on?
My mission is to reach more people and via the blog, I can offer you a FREE way to connect with me, wherever you are in the world. Together we can support each other. Call this a gift from me to you.
Today it's all about our BELIEFS.
Our power is our beliefs. It's at the centre of us all.
Our beliefs create our reality. Observing what is working on the inside – what is working for your greater good and what isn't – enables us to grow as a person. In order for our root purpose to flower, we need to surround it with the compost of our beliefs and values.
Our thoughts are very powerful, they are the sun that guilds our journey. The words we use become our navigation system. That mind-chatter chatter and our internal dialogue is the number one support tool we have to guide us towards our inner desires.
Believing in something means we have a pre-supposed commitment to it. On a basic level, agreeing or disagreeing with an idea usually indicates that we have a belief about it. The idea in itself is not the belief.
Beliefs are ideas you have a commitment to and support.
Your beliefs are a position that you endorse, consistently.
Beliefs express your attitude and outlook.
What you believe in is what you stand for.
The things we think and say to ourselves manifest in our lives. They become our reality. What the thinker thinks the prover proves.
Ask these questions of yourself.
What behaviours and attitudes have you absorbed from others?
If NOT you can simple change this to a more authentic, empowering and motivating belief that represents and empowers YOU?
My job as a transformation coach and healer is to use a variety of techniques to raise my clients' awareness of what beliefs, which beliefs they have that are no longer serving them and how to change their belief system for the greater good. Often my clients will be provoked to see the truth for the very first time. It's at this point they can step forward, clear their mind and explore fresh new empowering beliefs which enable them to move closer towards their lifes ambitions.
Changing your belief system is one of the most important steps to take in achieving any form of success. Beliefs are the core relationships we have with ourselves, they should be like your personal BEST FRIEND.
Believe that you can and you will! After all, your thinking is reality, if you want it to be. Contentment is no one else's prerogative except your own.

Long Beach Declares "Imminent Water Supply Shortage"
The decision ushers in new water restrictions and is meant as a preemptive act to shore up the city's supply
By Samantha Tata	• Published February 27, 2014 • Updated on February 27, 2014 at 8:26 pm
Some of the toughest water restrictions in Southern California were approved Thursday, after a splash of rain from a quick-moving storm and a heavier system in the forecast inspired muted celebration in the drought-stricken region.
The board of water commissioners in Long Beach voted unanimously to declare an "Imminent Water Supply Shortage," a preemptive action meant to shore up the city's water supply amid a looming statewide shortage.
Running Dry: Drought Resources, Updates | How to Save Water
The decision means:
Residents can water their lawns on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays only;
Restaurants cannot serve water to customers unless the customer requests a glass;
Sprinklers can run a maximum of 10 minutes each day designated for watering
The new rules come on top of water-saving prohibitions already in effect in Long Beach. Residents were not -- and are still not -- allowed to:
Water their lawns between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.;
Wash their cars with a hose that does not have a water shut-off nozzle;
Over-water their lawns to the point of causing unnecessary runoff;
Wash their driveways, parking areas, sidewalks, patios or other outdoor areas with a hose.
"We are fortunate to be in good shape in terms of water supply as we face this drought thanks to the prudent policies put in place by our predecessors and our staff during and after the last dry spell," said Harry Saltzgaver, president of the Long Beach Board of Water Commissioners.

"The action we take today is meant to be proactive, and will ensure that we can continue to provide an adequate supply of water to Long Beach residents, even in the face of continued drought conditions."
Top news of the day
The city said Gov. Jerry Brown's emergency drought declaration, the first-ever reduction in the State Water Project allocation to zero percent, declining water storage in key California reservoirs and record low levels of rainfall and snowpack throughout the state inspired Thursday's decision in Long Beach.
After successfully reducing its water usage to among the lowest in the state during the drought of 2007-09, Long Beach is hoping the new restrictions will inspire a repeat.

"The decrease was almost exclusively driven by an aggressive outreach and education program aimed at raising awareness of the importance of water conservation," the city said.
Long Beach joins a growing list of California cities placing water restrictions on residents, or asking that they take water conservation into their own hands.
Restaurants in Santa Cruz have also barred restaurants from serving drinking water unless a customer requests it.

Earlier this month, Ventura implored its residents to reduce their water usage by 10 percent.
Santa Monica called on its residents to cut back on water usage by 20 percent. The coastal city also replaced warnings with citations for some water violations and offered rebates to fix leaky toilets.

Francis de Miomandre () a fost un scriitor francez și un foarte bun traducător din spaniolă în franceză, care a câștigat Premiul Goncourt în 1908.

Biografie
S-a născut în Tours, Indre-et-Loire, fiul unui vânzător Gilbert Durand și al lui Thérèse de Miomandre. Și-a păstrat numele mamei ca pseudonim. În 1888 s-a mutat împreună cu părinții săi la Marsilia și a rămas acolo până în 1898, studiind la Colegiul Iezuit Sf. Ignatie din Marsilia. În același timp s-a împrietenit cu un grup de tineri scriitori. În 1894 au fondat o revistă la Revue Méditerranéenne în care și-a publicat lucrările de la începutul carierei. În 1900 l-a întâlnit pe Camille Mockler în Saint-Leu-La-Forêt.

În 1904 Miomandre a publicat prima sa carte "Les Reflets et les souvenirs" cu un tiraj de două sute douăzeci de exemplare. A lucrat la revistele "le Mercure de France" (Paris), "Antée" (Bruges), și "L'Occident". Francis a început să vândă tablouri la o galerie numită Berngayma, iar mai târziu a lucrat ca secretar al directorului său - Félix Fénéon. Mai târziu, a ocupat funcția de secretar al consiliului de redacție al revistei "L'Art et les artistes" până în 1912. În cele din urmă a câștigat Premiul Goncourt în 1908 pentru romanul său Écrit sur l'eau....

Miomandre a scris mii de articole pentru peste două sute de reviste și ziare. Acesta a fost principalul său mijloc de trai. Din când în când scria la editurile Marges, New French Review, Manuscrit autographe și les Cahiers du Sud și avea o rubrică în Nouvelles littéraires din 1922 până la moartea sa în 1959. În plus, în 1926, a scris în mod regulat recenzii literare și a colaborat cu alte reviste. Primele sale eseuri critice au fost publicate în cartea "Fața" în 1907. Patru ani mai târziu, a lansat o altă colecție de eseuri.

Q: Reference pointing to a Null-object I saw this discussion - Checking for a null object in C++ and I was surprised that no one talked about when reference can point to a null object. In our code, we use null objects routinely. There are functions as follows which return nullObj.
const Obj&
nullObj()
{
   static obj* nullPtr = NULL;
   return static_cast<  const Obj&>(*nullPtr);
}

Actually, when I looked at the code again to bring this topic up, I had some questions on how the above code works:

*

*How is it possible to do *nullPtr - Is is it because nullPtr is a static object, which is allocated memory on the heap and hence it is guaranteed to have some space and

*Since we are returning const reference to obj, does compiler create a temporary object (to some kind of nullObj??) or Will the const reference act as an alias to nullPtr itself?

A:
I was surprised that no one talked about when reference can point to a null object.

Never.

(i) How is it possible to do *nullPtr - Is is it because nullPtr is a static object, which is allocated memory on the heap and hence it is guarenteed to have some space and address allocated for deref?

It's not. You're dereferencing a null pointer, which is invoking undefined behaviour.

(ii) Since we are returning const reference to obj, does compiler create a temporary object (to some kind of nullObj??) or Will the const reference act as an alias to nullPtr itself?

No. The compiler, at this stage, is allowed to produce nasal daemons or a black hole. If you're very lucky, you'll get a segmentation fault or some other kind of access violation.
DO NOT DO THIS

A:
I was surprised that no one talked about when reference can point to a null object

That's because it can't, in a correct program.
Your function that dereferences a nullpointer has Undefined Behavior. The compiler is allowed to emit code that, for example, causes a crash at that point.
However, one possible effect of UB is that the code does what one thought it would do. So null-references can occur. I have never encountered one, but if you do, then it means that there is a serious logic error in the code.
All uses of the null-object-reference function you show, are logic errors.
You'd better grep up those uses and fix things. ;-)
Cheers & hth.,

A:
(i) How is it possible to do *nullPtr
  - Is is it because nullPtr is a static object, which is allocated memory on
  the heap and hence it is guarenteed to
  have some space and address allocated
  for deref?

No, it's because nullPtr is a pointer initialized to NULL, it's not an object at all.

(ii) Since we are returning const
  reference to obj, does compiler create
  a temporary object (to some kind of
  nullObj??) or Will the const reference
  act as an alias to nullPtr itself?

It will be an alias to an object located at memory address NULL. I.e.: when you actually access any of the members of this reference object - you'll get whatever (usually access violation, if the system is smart enough, but it can really be anything, the behavior is undefind).

RIP Malcolm Dixon
British actor Malcolm Dixon, a stalwart of genre television and film, has sadly passed away at the age of 66.
Dixon was born in Durham in 1953. He was born with dwarfism, a condition that did not hold him back from a physical job on his parents' poultry farm. He was spotted by talent scouts impressed by his abilities at Durham Ice Rink and recruited to perform in ice shows, from where he was recruited by the Jim Henson Creature Shop. In 1971 he appeared in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, marking the beginning of his film career.
His subsequent film roles include Flash Gordon, Time Bandits, The Dark Crystal, Return of the Jedi (as an Ewok), Labyrinth and Willow. His theatre roles included a three-year stint playing Bilbo Baggins in a stage performance of The Hobbit.
In addition to his scripted roles, he also performed in music videos for artists including David Bowie
He stopped performing in the late 1990s to focus on his family. He passed away yesterday and is survived by his wife and two children.
Dixon was a familiar face to any fan of genre film, particularly through the 1970s and 1980s. He will be missed.

As a relative of malcolm I can confirm that he was 86 at his death not 66.

Q: How can I make items grow before wrapping? If I have 5 flex items that cannot fit on less than 3 lines, how can I make sure the item that is 'larger' than the others is the one with the .big style? Whether that be the item is on a line by itself, or the item grows before other elements with lower .flex-grow values?
So given the below, the result is:
 [   big   ][small]
 [ small ][ small ]
 [      small     ]

When what I want is:
 [      big       ]
 [ small ][ small ]
 [ small ][ small ]

Alternately with a bigger container, we can get:
[  big  ][small][small]
[  small  ][  small   ]

whereas I'd want:
[    big   ][ small ]
[small][small][small]

Is this doable?

.container {
  width: 800px;
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.big {
  background-color: blue;
  min-width: 400px;
  flex-grow: 2;
}

.small {
  background-color: green;
  min-width: 300px;
  flex-grow: 1;
}

Big

A: Setting the "@media(max-width:800px)" seemed to be the best solution.
Checking for container width when page loads is also achievable with jQuery. Then changing containers width accordingly is another solution that involves a little more work.

Paralyzed Montana Man Files Suit After Remington Model 700 Rifle Misfire
Defective Remington Rifle Trigger Mechanism Fires Unexpectedly. A Montana man claims a defect in the firing and trigger mechanism of his Remington hunting rifle caused him to be paralyzed after it fired unexpectedly and hit his spine.
According to a report from KTVM-TV in Bozeman, Mont., Brad Humphrey claims he was shot in the spine with an errant blast from his step-son's Remington model 700 rifle. Humphrey has become the latest person to claim a defect in the trigger mechanism caused the rifle to fire unexpectedly and has filed a lawsuit against the famed gun maker.
Humphrey and his step-son, Travis Kohr, were spotting elk during a hunt in 1989. As they were getting into their truck, Kohr slipped and his Remington model 700 rifle discharged a round, hitting Humphrey in the spine. Although he survived the shot to his back, Humphrey has been paralyzed since the incident more than 20 years ago.
This man is just the latest to claim defects with the "Walker trigger" on that model of Remington rifle causes the gun to fire unexpectedly. According to previous reports on other lawsuits and the allegedly defective mechanism itself, the trigger connector on this rifle was patented in 1950 and named after its inventor. The "Walker trigger" is designed to allow a "smooth, crisp" firing action on the popular rifle.
Millions Own Remington Rifle
Millions own the Remington model 700 rifle. It's been on the market for decades and is the preferred rifle of many hunters. A CNBC report from several years ago describes the trigger as "a piece of metal roughly the size of a paper clip" and is mounted on a spring inside the trigger.
Previous lawsuits filed against Remington claim that even the slightest piece of debris on the "Walker trigger" can misalign it. This causes the trigger to separate from the rest of the firing mechanism. Those who've been victims of this defect say actions on the gun other than pulling trigger can cause it to fire when the trigger connector has been disengaged, such as using the safety lock or the bolt on the rifle.
Through previous investigations, it was revealed that while the inventor of the trigger mechanism had advocated Remington add a mechanism that would hold the trigger and his connector in place that prevented the gun from firing, the company rejected the idea and stood behind the safety of its popular rifle.
Remington still stands behind the safety of its original model 700 rifle but in the last five years has unveiled a new version of the gun with a new firing mechanism that's supposed to be a spin on the device used for decades prior. The company allegedly elected to change the firing mechanism, completely eliminating the "Walker trigger" when it released the new model 700 rifle in 2007 because more and more lawsuits had been filed against the company.
The "Walker trigger" with the allegedly faulty connector is still available on other models of the company's rifles.
