A career in nursing continues to be one of today's most promising careers paths. A newly graduated nurse is in high demand and has the ability to branch out into numerous specialties, such as pediatrics, maternity, psychiatry, oncology, case management or primary care. But with all of the available opportunities within the nursing field, there's an ongoing trend of new nurses moving away from the bedside.

Not only is nursing a wonderful and fulfilling profession, but it can also open doors to numerous other careers. Just ask Lillian Rivera, RN, MSN, Ph.D. Dr. Rivera earned her nursing degree decades ago, but she still calls it, "a cornerstone of my life, because it is so important to my life professionally. Being a nurse has opened so many doors for me."

You may believe your medical practice is profitable, but how do you really know? Even if you know how much money you're making, you likely don't know how much you're leaving on the table.
Most providers spend the majority of their time focusing on the clinical side of the practice. However, paying attention to the business side is critical to ensuring a healthy, profitable practice.

Alimony is financial support given from one spouse to another. Financial support could be money paid from one spouse to the other or in-kind payments made by one spouse to another, such as direct payment of the mortgage each month. There are several types of alimony in Florida: temporary, bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational, permanent periodic, and lump sum.

Many, many, many moons have passed since the New York Times write-up and I'm still getting in requests for walks from one or two people, none of them for the same day. Sorry. I don't do walks each and every day, and I never have — if I'm leading a tour on a Wednesday it's because some group or high roller has arranged it.
If people want to shell out the big bucks, like Sam Spade my services can be bought.
To kick in the gumshoe-vs-the-pavement action for 2019, I've already got a few tours on the schedule where anyone can show up. All on Sundays. $20 per.
Approximately three hours each, they'll start closer to Union Square than the walks of yesteryear. Kind of from the end to the middle and back again, if you've got the tour book, but I'm a master at juggling such things.
To find out which Sundays, and where to meet, hit me with an email off the Contact Don button above.

Over the last few years a number of microscopical techniques have been developed that take advantage of ultrashort optical pulses. All these techniques rely on temporal pulse integrity at the focal point of a high-numerical aperture (NA) focusing system. We have investigated the dispersion induced broadening for pulses on the optical axis, using the two-photon absorption autocorrelation (TPAA) technique. We demonstrate that the induced broadening can be pre- compensated for by a properly designed dispersion pre- compensation unit for pulses as short as 15 femtosecond. Another source of pulse broadening in high-NA focusing systems is due to radial variations in the dispersion over the pupil of the objective. This may cause differences in the group delay between on-axis and outer ray wave packets, as well as differences in the broadening of the wave packets themselves. In this paper we present experimental results on the measurement of these radial variations in the dispersion characteristics over the aperture of high-NA microscope objectives, using a slightly modified TPAA technique.

Olympe Pélissier (9 May 1799 – 22 March 1878) was a French artists' model and courtesan and the second wife of the Italian composer Gioachino Rossini. She sat for Vernet for his painting of Judith and Holofernes. Honoré de Balzac described her as "the most beautiful courtesan in Paris".

Biography
Olympe Pélissier was born in Paris on 9 May 1799, the illegitimate daughter of an unmarried woman who later married Joseph Pélissier. She was sold by her mother at age fifteen to a young duke, who installed her in a small furnished house. The duke contracted a venereal disease and had to give her up. Pélissier was then sold to a rich Anglo-American. She soon gained her independence and began to look for other lovers.

Under the Bourbon Restoration, Pélissier had been a notable figure in Parisian society, admired by the Comte de Girardin, holding salons attended by Baron Schikler, and in 1830 had a liaison with the writer Eugène Sue, who introduced her to Honoré de Balzac. Pélissier and Balzac were lovers for a year, starting in 1830. After Pélissier rejected him, the affair left Balzac full of resentments. A few years later Balzac called Pélissier "an evil courtesan." Amongst her lovers, who included aristocrats, artistic and literary figures, were the painters Horace Vernet and Alfred d'Orsay and the musician Vincenzo Bellini.

The affair with Sue was longer lasting, but the relationship consisted of a frequent swing between quarrels and strong passions. It ended when Pélissier met Gioacchino Rossini. She and Rossini first met in the 1830s in the aftermath of his separation from his first wife Isabella Colbran. The couple lived in his house in Paris until a cholera epidemic forced them to leave the city in favour of Italy. At the end of 1836, they moved to Bologna, where for etiquette's sake they lived under separate roofs. In Bologna Pélissier met Rossini's first wife, Isabella Colbran. Pélissier felt suffocated in Bologna and pressured her companion to move.  In November 1837 they moved to Milan where they held  musical evenings every Friday night. Among the regular guests was Franz Liszt. However, she held the social position of the courtesan, a companion, but not a future bride to the composer. Even Marie d'Agoult, who had abandoned her husband to follow the musician Liszt, was sceptical: "Rossini spent the winter in Milan with Mademoiselle Pélissier and tried to introduce her into society, but no lady of class ever visited her".

In October 1845 Isabella, Rossini's first wife died, and in August 1846 Rossini and Pélissier married. Bologna was being affected by uprisings as part of the 1848 Revolution, so the couple moved to Florence. They stayed for seven years, during which time Rossini's health declined. He suffered from depression, caused by the effects of gonorrhea. Pélissier missed Paris, and wished to return there to seek medical help for Rossini, so in May 1855 they returned there, taking a large apartment on the Rue de la Chaussée-d'Antin.

In Paris they restarted their musical evenings, which became legendary within Paris society. Guests included Alexandre Dumas fils, Eugène Delacroix, Franz Liszt, and Giuseppe Verdi. The couple had a new villa constructed in the Passy suburb of Paris in 1859. Rossini died a rich man in 1868, allowing Pélissier to live a comfortable life after his death, although on her death, the estate was to pass to the Municipality of Pesaro to establish the Conservatorio Statale di Musica "Gioachino Rossini".

Olympe Pélissier died on 22 March 1878.

In art and literature

Her lover the painter Horace Vernet painted her as Judith in his 1830 work Judith and Holofernes.

Balzac cast her as the merciless Fedora in his 1831 novel La Peau de chagrin. The incident where the hero, Raphaël de Valentin, secretes himself in Fedora's bedroom was reputedly based on an experience Balzac had with Pélissier, although Balzac denied this.

In 1832, Rossini composed the cantata Giovanna d'Arco (Joan of Arc) in her honour. In 1857 he dedicated Musique anodine to her.

Pélissier is a character in the 1974 French television film Eugène Sue, played by Claudine Coster.

The 1991 Mario Monicelli film Rossini! Rossini! about the life of Rossini features Sabine Azéma as Pélissier.

US setting up Radio free Afghanistan
author: matchboy e-mail: matchboy@tearitalldown.com
The house of representatives passed the bill by two to 505 votes. The supporters of the bill say there is a need for setting up a radio to, what they call expose, Taliban to the Afghans and explain US war against terrorism.
ISLAMABAD: The US House of Representatives has passed a law for the establishment of Radio free Afghanistan to step up its propaganda against the Taliban.
The radio would broadcast programmes in different languages of Afghanistan.
By doing so the United States is launching a media campaign against the Taliban alongside the air strikes on Afghanistan in a bid to topple the latter.
Under the new law, 27 million dollars would be provided for the Radio free Aghanistan which would work under the auspices of radio free Europe and radio liberty. The radio would daily broadcast programmes six hours in pushto and six hours in Dari.
The moving force behind the bill was democrat member from California, Edroyace. He said Radio free Afghanistan used to work during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. But supply of funds was halted after the withdrawal of the Soviet troop from Afghanistan. Edroyce said had the radio free Afghanistan continued, Osama bin Laden and his supporters would not have got an opportunity to take ground in Afghanistan. He accused that the sympathizers of Bin Laden influenced the minds of Afghans through psychological war. They cleverly used radio to spread hatred against the US, Israel, democracy and liberal Muslims.
In his view, the establishment of Radio free Afghanistan is essential to win war of information under the auspices of radio free another democratic member Don Lantog while supporting the draft bill said there is a need for dramatic increase in the campaign of public relations not only in Afghanistan also in the entire Islamic world. Lantos also stressed the need for more funds for the voice of America. Bush Administration has yet to endorse the bill seeking establishment of radio free Afghanistan. (NNI)

Deadly attack on Jews in Brussels and landslide victory for extremist parties in EU-elections raises concerns in Europe
May 26, 2014 | Articles
– ECI calls for increased support for work in Brussels
Brussels, 26th May, 2014 – The deadly attack on a Jewish museum in Brussels on Saturday and the landslide victory of extremist and openly anti-Semitic parties in the EU-member states have left a chilling effect on the Jewish communities in Europe. Four people were left dead after an unidentified gunman on Saturday opened fire in the Jewish museum in Brussels. Two of the victims were Israeli citizens whilst the other two were local Jews working at the museum.
The shock and horror caused by the brutal terrorist attack on Saturday was made worse on Sunday as the results from the European Parliament elections started to come in. The elections mark a landslide victory for many populist parties with a xenophobic and anti-Semitic agenda, from Golden Dawn and the extreme left in Greece to the National Front in France and Jobbik in Hungary.
While many still analyse the incoming results one thing seems clear – the new European Parliament will have more openly racist and anti-Semitic members than in any previous European Parliament. The first elections to the European Parliament took place in 1979.
– Whilst the next five years may prove to be our most challenging yet, the European Coalition for Israel is committed to continuing the work in the European Parliament to combat the rise of anti-Semitism but in order to do so we need help, Founding Director Tomas Sandell said on Monday.
– Now, more than ever, it is important for every European of good will, to speak up against any form of anti-Semitism or racism. We cannot afford to let the European countries slide deeper in to this abyss of extremism and hatred, he said.
European Coalition for Israel was founded in 2003 in Brussels in order to promote good relations between Europe and Israel. The organisation has been instrumental in initiating the Holocaust Remembrance Day event in the European Parliament and has worked actively and consistently to combat new forms of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.

The Law on State Symbols of 7 November 2001 shows the Standarte des Saarlandes or "Standard of the Saar" as a square flag, 30 × 30 cm of golden-yellow colour with a black outer and red inner border, the borders each of 1/10 of the flag width; in the center the coat-of-arms (dimensions 10 × 12 cm) with the white border. This is used as a car flag for the Ministerpräsident (prime minister) and the Landtagspräsident (President of the State Parliament).
This is the only remaining car flag in the new 2001 law (...) two other car flags —probably long out of use, anyway— have been abandoned.

If you're about to commence a large mining infrastructure project or want to assess a current structure or area before building or expanding, you've likely started researching into mining surveying options. Thanks to advances in technology, HD surveying is becoming one of the most well-known and used survey methods in mining today.
So, what is high definition surveying, what benefits does it have over traditional methods and how can these benefits be transferred to you, the client.
What Is High Definition Surveying (HDS)?
High definition surveying is the process of collecting complete, accurate and detailed as-built data of an area or structure. Using a stationary 3D laser scanner, millions of narrow, eye-safe beams are sent out in all directions to accurately map out the area in a matter of minutes. These scanners are incredibly accurate and will measure these points to provide XYZ values.
When surveying longer distances for projects such as pipeline, electrical, rail and road infrastructure, there is also the option of mobile HD surveying. This form of surveying is usually conducted using a road vehicle or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV drones).
High definition surveying provides a myriad of innovative benefits compared to traditional surveying methods. As the survey can be completed quickly and is safe even with workers present, it will cause minimal to no disruption to daily operations.
As HD surveying requires less manpower and can be completed quicker than traditional methods, it usually results in cost savings. These savings are usually passed down to the client who requested the work, reducing their overall project costs.
HD surveying produces an incredible level of visuals which gives a larger and more detailed picture of the project. This can then be transferred to an AutoCAD or BIM system to help produce a better understanding of all aspects of the project.
Firstly, high definition surveying can be used to document the existing conditions of your project, which you can then compare to previous conditions. Surveying can subsequently be used throughout your project to help you plan for further expansion, infrastructure improvements and changes. Finally, once the project is complete, you can conduct a final survey to gather data to be referred to during future expansion, maintenance and monitoring.
As high-quality imaging is produced by HD surveying, you can run condition and damage assessments of your site infrastructure and structures. This will help to identify areas which require attention prior to otherwise being known. Fixing issues quickly and efficiently will reduce downtime and boost productivity.
As mentioned, HD surveying requires far less manpower and time on site. This reduces health and safety risks dramatically compared to traditional methods.

This program allows principals to improve and maximize their ability to influence and persuade while becoming a more effective communicator. The main way principals communicate with the community is through weekly update emails. How does a principal "message" their electronic communication? How can these be written to best influence the community? How best to keep superintendents informed without bogging them down with the details, and how can one be an effective communicator in front of the school committee? These questions and many others are addressed in this interactive program.
Decades of behavioral decision research has consistently shown that emotions, more than any other contributing factor, are what motivate us to act. Every decision we make, every choice to act or not act is determined by our intention to manage our feelings in one way or another, to either feel better or to avoid feeling badly. Emotion is the single pivot point to determine how well you know yourself, how you deal with adversity and conflict, and how well you relate to others…all characteristics of a great leader. With educators so busy managing more of the social and emotional skills for our young people than ever, there has never been a better time to learn and model "Emotional Intelligence", or EQ to ease the workload and get back to why educators wanted to teach, and staff works to improve the landscape of a quality education.


CUMBERLAND — Two residents were indicted this month on repeat charges of operating under the influence.
Thomas Natalie, 45, of Tuttle Road, and Timothy Richards, 29, of Blackstrap Road, were each arrested in separate March incidents by Cumberland police on felony charges of OUI. According to the Cumberland County district attorney's office, both men had two prior OUIs. Both were indicted on OUI and other charges this month by a Cumberland County grand jury.
In addition to the OUI charge, Natalie was indicted on charges of violations of license restrictions and conditions of release. Richards was indicted on the additional charges of refusing to submit to arrest and violation of license restrictions.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt, but rather a decision that enough evidence exists to prosecute.

Floridians hope Dorian's economic impact will be temporary
by: DAVID KOENIG, Associated Press
Posted: Sep 3, 2019 / 08:14 PM UTC / Updated: Sep 3, 2019 / 10:58 PM UTC
Brandon Ennis runs away from waves caused by Hurricane Dorian crashing over the jetty of the Jupiter inlet, Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2019, in Jupiter, Fla. (Joe Cavaretta/South Florida Sun-Sentinel via AP)
Hurricane Dorian is losing strength as it churns closer to the Florida coast, and that's bringing some cautious relief to the state's big tourism industry.
By midday Tuesday, Dorian had been downgraded to a Category 2 hurricane, and forecasts were lessening the threat of a direct hit on Florida.
Still, more than 2 million people in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas had been warned to evacuate.
Parts of the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida, closed early on Tuesday. Airports in Orlando, Palm Beach and several smaller cities remained closed, and most flights in Fort Lauderdale were scrubbed too. Florida accounted for most of the 1,800 U.S. flights canceled by mid-afternoon in the East.
"It generally looks like we dodged a bullet," Sean Snaith, director of the economic forecasting institute at the University of Central Florida, said Tuesday. "These temporary shutdowns have some effect, but it's not going to move the needle in terms of employment or economic growth."
Dorian caused catastrophic flooding and at least five deaths in the Bahamas .
But the National Hurricane Center reduced the threat of a direct hit on Florida and its $1 trillion economy, the fourth-largest in the country behind California, Texas and New York. Instead, the storm was expected to brush close to South Carolina and maybe North Carolina too on Thursday or Friday.
Even as Dorian weakened approaching the U.S. mainland, other storms are forming in the Atlantic, and there could be additional powerful hurricanes this fall. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently raised its forecast for the likelihood of an above-normal hurricane season, including two to four major hurricanes — winds above 110 mph — through November.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that hurricanes cause about $28 billion a year in damage in the U.S., and since 2005, the government has borne about 60% of the cost, or $18 billion a year.
It's difficult to predict where any particular storm will make landfall, but hurricanes are growing more damaging partly because of increased development in coastal areas.
Maria and Irma, the back-to-back hurricanes in the Caribbean and Florida in 2017, caused $140 billion in damage. Hurricane Harvey flooded Houston that same year at a cost of $125 billion. The most damaging hurricane in U.S. history remains Katrina, in 2005, which flooded New Orleans and killed more than 1,800 people.
Florida's tourism industry has taken gut punches before and bounced back. In the first six months of this year, the state saw a record 68.9 million visitors, a 6% increase over the same period last year, according to the governor's office.
"Florida has continued to see visitation numbers break records year after year, whether it's in the wake of hurricanes or the Zika virus or red tides," Snaith said. "These events aren't great for marketing, but promoters in the (tourism) industry get out in front of stuff like that and try to erase any temporary damage."
Visit Florida, the state's tourism agency, has been promoting travel to parts of the state, including the Gulf Coast, that are not under hurricane threat.
The storm's threat prompted organizers to move a major college football game, Boise State against Florida State, from Jacksonville to Tallahassee, about 160 miles to the west. That hurt tourism in Jacksonville over the Labor Day weekend, although presumably businesses in Tallahassee got a boost. The tourism agency Visit Jacksonville said it was prepared to help local tourism businesses "get back up and running quickly."
Businesses that shut down, even just briefly, may seek interruption benefits from their insurers. Fred Karlinsky, an attorney specializing in insurance matters at Miami-based Greenberg Traurig, said the duration of the closure matters more than whether Dorian comes ashore.
"It's a very important coverage, and it pays out," he said.
Last week, many Florida hotels suspended their cancelation policies because of the approaching storm.
"It looks like things are much less threatening. It's a good day in Florida," said Amanda Handley, a spokeswoman for the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association. She cautioned, however, that there was still a threat of high winds, heavy rain and storm surges along the Atlantic coast.
Florida's neighbors might not share the relief. Up the coast and across the state line in Folly Beach, South Carolina, workers were hurriedly boarding up restaurants and shops.
David Koenig reported from Dallas. Curt Anderson in Miami, Sarah Blake Morgan in Folly Beach, South Carolina, and Cody Jackson in Jacksonville, Florida, contributed to this report.

TV 1000 var en svensk betalkanal i TV, ägd av MTG:s Viasat, som mestadels sände långfilmer, barnprogram och boxning, nattetid även pornografi. Kanalen startade den 27 augusti 1989. Sedan 1995 har den också haft systerkanaler som under årens lopp blivit allt fler till antalet. TV 1000-kanalerna innehåller ingen reklam, utan finansieras uteslutande av abonnemangavgifter och säljs som premiumkanaler av operatörerna.

Historik

Lanseringen
TV 1000 lanserades ursprungligen i Sverige men kom sedan även till Danmark och Norge, samt, ytterligare ett par år senare, till Finland. Under en stor del av 1990-talet hade TV 1000 problem att gå ihop finansiellt. I syfte att vända sina förlustsiffror till en ekonomisk vinst, skedde vid upprepade tillfällen förhandlingar med den lika förlusttyngda konkurrenten Filmnet om sammanslagning. Trots de upprepade försöken lyckades man aldrig komma överens.

Första systerkanalen Cinema
I februari 1995 införde TV 1000 en systerkanal vid namn TV 1000 Cinema, senare omdöpt till endast Cinema. Innehållet i Cinema liknade det som visades på TV1000. Vid lanseringen hade ägarna problem att få in kanalen i de analoga kabelnäten, och i november 1995 lade Kinnevik ner en annan av sina filmkanaler, Film Max, för att underlätta för Cinemas expansion i näten.

I och med digitaliseringen fick såväl TV 1000 som Cinema två timeshift-kanaler med samma tablåer som huvudkanalerna — men med en respektive två timmars fördröjning. Namnen på dessa kanaler blev TV 1000 2, TV 1000 3, Cinema 2 och Cinema 3.

Nischade kanaler
Den 1 september 2004 genomförde TV 1000 en större omdaning av sina kanaler. Cinema och tre av timeshift-kanalerna försvann, och istället lanserades fyra genrenischade kanaler, utöver moderkanalen och den kvarvarande timeshift-kanalen.

TV 1000 Plus One (+1), ersatte TV1000 2, och förblev en timeshift-kanal. I augusti 2010  blev systerkanalen borttagen på grund av ointresse.
TV 1000 Family, ersatte TV1000 3. Barn- och familjefilmer, samt komedier.
TV 1000 Action, ersatte Cinema 1. Action-, thriller- och skräckfilmer under kvällstid, dramafilmer under dagtid, och under nattetid pornografiska filmer.
TV 1000 Nordic, ersatte Cinema 2. Skandinavisk film.
TV 1000 Classic, ersatte Cinema 3. Äldre filmer.
TV 1000 Drama, dramafilmer.

Östeuropeiska systerkanaler
Vid mitten av 2000-talet påbörjade MTG en expansion på den östeuropeiska marknaden, vilket bland annat innebar att TV 1000 lanserades i flera andra länder.

I början av år 2004 lanserades TV1000 East i Litauen, Lettland, Estland, Ryssland, Ukraina, Moldavien och Vitryssland. I oktober 2005 lanserades den ryska kanalen TV1000 Russkoe Kino (ТВ1000 Русское Кино). I mars 2007 lanserades en polsk variant av kanalen (TV1000 polen). I augusti 2010  blev systerkanalen TV1000 Plus One (+1) borttagen på grund av ointresse.

Viasat Film
Den 1 mars 2012 döptes TV1000 om till Viasat Film. Viasat Film innehåller ett antal nischade systerkanaler med olika målgrupper och inriktning:
 Viasat Film och Viasat Film HD
 Viasat Film Action och Viasat Film Action HD
 Viasat Film Nordic och Viasat Film Nordic HD
 Viasat Film Family och Viasat Film Family HD Viasat Film Drama och Viasat Film Drama HD Viasat Film Classic'''

Den 23 april 2014 togs Viasat Film Nordic och Viasat Film Nordic HD bort, Denna kanal ersattes av Viasat Film Comedy och Viasat Film Comedy HD. Samma dag fick även Viasat Film Action och Viasat Film Action HD mindre sändningstid. Denna dag togs även Viasat Film Drama HD bort från utbudet.

Ytterligare förändringar gjordes den 10 november 2015. Viasat Film Classic och Viasat Film Drama lades ner och ersattes av Viasat Film Hits. Samtidigt lanseras TV-seriekanalen Viasat Series. Viasat Film Family fick samtidigt sändningstiden begränsad till 19.00-06.00 och sänder inte längre i HD.

Distribution
De svenska kanalerna distribuerades via Viasatkanalerna och fanns även hos kabel-tv-operatörer som Com Hem, Tele2Vision, och SPA samt via IPTV hos Telia, där kanalerna låg i ett eget paket. 2004 lanserade även Bredbandsbolaget kanalerna via sitt bredbandsnät.

Q: Angular JS - Change path, Same controller, don't reload scope I know it's been asked so many times here and I found it too. But it could not solve my problem.
Here is the case. I have one AngularJS application.
I have a list page. I have a button to add. When I click on add button, a pop-up window will come with a form. I want to change the URL when the pop-up comes but in the same controller.
Also I would like to add some other buttons on each, some html display as popup-or other location, but same controller without reloading all scope when url changes.
What I have tried.
app.js
var WebClientApp = angular.module('WebClientApp', [
                                    'ngCookies',
                                    'ngResource',
                                    'ngSanitize',
                                    'ui.bootstrap',
                                    'ngRoute'
                                  ]);
WebClientApp.config(function ($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider
        .when('/groups/:template', {
            templateUrl: 'groups.html',
            controller: 'GroupCtrl'
        }

groups.html

<button ng-click="showAdd()">Add Group</button>

 <form name="addGroup" ng-submit="addandEditGroup()">
       <input type="text" ng-model="group.name">
 </form>

 <form name="editGroup" ng-submit="saveGroup()">
       <input type="text" ng-model="group.name">
       <input type="text" ng-model="group.desc">
       <input type="text" ng-model="group.id">
 </form>

Controllers.js
WebClientApp.controller('GroupCtrl', function ($scope,$http, $location, $routeParams) {
$scope.group = {};

$scope.showAdd=function(){
   $location.path('/groups/add');
}

var template = $routeParams.template;
switch(template){
  case 'add':
         loadAddPage();
         break;
  case 'edit':
         loadEditPage();
         break;
  default:
         loadListPageHideAll();
         break;
}

  function loadAddPage() {
    $scope.addGroupModal=true;
    $scope.editGroupModal=false;
  }

  function loadEditPage(){
    $scope.addGroupModal=false;
    $scope.editGroupModal=true;
  }

  function loadListPageHideAll() {
    $scope.addGroupModal=false;
    $scope.editGroupModal=false;
    // connect to server and list all groups
  }

  $scope.addandEditGroup = function() {
    $location.path('/groups/edit');
  }

  $scope.saveGroup = function() {
    // Save group with $scope.group.
    $location.path('/groups');

  }

});

When I click on add button, it will show the add form. When I enter group name, and submit, it should show edit form after changing url with the group name filled in the form. But when I try, the value of group object becomes empty since the url is changing. I added the following in controller, but don't know what to do exactly after.
$scope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function(event, present, last) {
        console.log(event,present,last);
});

How to assign the scope variables of last route to present route scope. I tried reload on search to false also, But it didnt work.

A: There might be an error here :
 function loadEditPage(){
    $scope.addGroupModal=false;
    $scope.editGroupModal=true;
 }

There are probably some typos in the HTML template code you posted, but what you are basically doing is hiding the parent addGroupModal and showing the child editGroupModal. Remove the nesting and the tags like this:

                <form name="addGroup" ng-submit="addandEditGroup()">
                    <input type="text" ng-model="group.name">
                </form>

                     <form name="editGroup" ng-submit="saveGroup()">
                          <input type="text" ng-model="group.name">
                          <input type="text" ng-model="group.desc">
                          <input type="text" ng-model="group.id">
                        </form>

Here is the plunkr ( hit enter to submit the form): http://plnkr.co/edit/MGT8HZ4lpgVWCkWlt8Ak?p=preview
If this is what you want to acheive, honestly you are complicating things ... There are simpler solutions.

I see! What you want to acheive is to have a reference of the old group variable before the route was changed... And you want to do that using the same controller...

Ok, to get the group from the last controller, you are half way there . You have to store the group somewhere because the targetScopes and currentScopes you receive in the $routeChange listeners don't point to the scopes.
http://plnkr.co/edit/HfK3fhVtZ4bxHtpiFR3B?p=preview
$scope.group = $rootScope.group || {};

$scope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function(event, present, last) {
  console.log('start change route');
  $rootScope.group = event.currentScope.group;
  console.log('target scope group ',event.currentScope.group);
});

I agree the rootScope might not be the best place to keep that variable, but you can also put it inside an angular constant of variable.

Welcome to the Unseen Shadows Website
20/05/2011 20/05/2011 / Barry Nugent	/ Leave a comment
So welcome everyone to the new Unseen Shadows website. From here I hope to keep you all up to date on all the news spinning out of the Unseen Shadows universe of which the Fallen Heroes novel and it's upcoming follow-up, Forgotten Warriors, is a part. As well as news on the novels there will be updates on some of the other spin-off titles in the works. The site is still being worked on so look out for changes on a daily basis.
This will also be your one shop site for picking up Comics, Books,CD's and more from the Unseen Shadows Universe.
As this is the first time I'm really pushing the Unseen Shadows Universe I thought I would do a small post to explain the idea behind it all.
So What is Unseen Shadows?
Originally Fallen Heroes was called Unseen Shadows but the more I worked on the story the more I felt that the title was a little too overarching to fit one book. I knew I was going to tell this one huge adventure spread over three books and so Unseen Shadows became the overall theme for that story.
Now with the ongoing work to expand the world and characters I've created via the mediums of comics, audio and live action it made sense to bring the term 'Unseen Shadows' more to the forefront. I know a lot of people, myself included sometimes, still refer to everything involved with the project as Fallen Heroes but in truth everything being worked on is part of the Unseen Shadows universe. It was one of the reasons I decided to launch this new website to try to reinforce that message.
The really exciting thing for me is how the spin-off work has affected me as I work on the second book in the trilogy, Forgotten Warriors. I found myself subconsciously referencing events in the spin-off scripts as if they were canon and then the thought occurred to me 'Why don't I just make them canon'. So now every member of the creative team knows that their material is 100% a part of the Unseen Shadows universe and not just a nice little side story with no impact on the events surrounding it. The spin-offs expand and enhance the characters lives and relationships within the novels. Although the books and the spin offs can be read and enjoyed independently of each other you will get more insights into the characters by experiencing all the stories across the Unseen Shadows universe. At least that is the plan we are all working towards. You want to know more about the how the Reverend was trained to become the man we see in Fallen Heroes then you Cy Dethan's The Reverend: Wrath of God comic. If you've ever wondered how did a decorated solider like Clancy become a mercenary then Dan Thompson's Clancy Wallencheck: Band of Butchers is for you. Desperate to learn about the inner working of the Icarus Foundation? Alan White's Tales of the Fallen: Empire of Blood audio drama is the place to begin your education.
So What's first?
Well first up we will releasing four(maybe five) one-shot comics, based on characters introduced in the Fallen Heroes novel, in a digital only format and then to collect them as a anthology entitled 'Tales of the Fallen', which will be printed for launch later in 2011. Of we have the second issue of the comic adaptation which is being worked on as I type this.
I think if you a follower of the independant UK comic scene you will recongise some of the names already involved. They are all people I have a lot of respect for and am very happy to have them be part of what we are trying to do. Someone suggested to me after seeing the list of those involved that this team was 'The Expendables of Indie Comics' which bought a smile to my face as well as the team. A far as I know the team have no plans to overthrow any Latin American dictators any time soon.
So far involved in the comic side of things we have
Richmond Clements
Cy Dethan
Vicky Stonebrigde
Pete Rogers
Conor Boyle
Rob Carey
Martin Conaghan
Steve Penfold
Nic Wilkinson
Roy Huteson Stewart
Paul McLaren
As time goes on I'll be introducing you to some of the other teams involved in expanding the Unseen Shadows universe.
Why branch out into all these different mediums?
"I'll wait for the audio version"
It was that phrase I heard years ago when someone was interested in buying the novel but only as an audio book that lodged the idea in the back of my head. It was one of reasons I sought out David Ault to do an audio version of Fallen Heroes. I was always drawn to the concept that whatever was your medium of choice there was a means by which you could experience the story I was trying to tell.
To be honest a large share of how this came about should go to Nic Wilkinson, who always had this grand scheme of spin offs and expanding the Unseen Shadows universe for probably about two years now (I'm sure in a past list she was an evil genius). Being able to bounce ideas off her and getting her input has been invaluable in making this all work. She also knocked my head together with C Dethan's who I been skirting around the idea of asking do a spin off comic for some time. There was never a plan to do more than one spin-off comic but Cy coming aboard to do the Reverend spin-off comic really opened the door and suddenly I found myself being emailed by loads of creative folk wanted to know how they could get involved. It also showed me that the only boundaries to what I'm trying to achieve are those I impose on myself. Doing this new website is a way to help me embrace the idea that anything is possible.
I'm very lucky to be working with so many talented and great people. I've already learnt a hell of a lot from them and I hope this trend continues.
So be brave and take a step into the Unseen Shadows and I'll see you on the other side.

Update on the Sequel to Fallen Heroes
13/01/2011 18/05/2011 / Barry Nugent	/ 2 Comments
Most of last year was spent with me telling people that 'Book 2 was on the way' but it was a hard year for me writing wise as I had so many other things going on and to be honest had written myself into a bit of a corner with the story.
Towards the end of last year I'm started to get my head around things. I've told myself and now I'm telling you that I plan to have the sequel to Fallen Heroes out before the end of this year or die in the attempt (ok maybe not die). Hopefully it's not been too long that people who enjoyed the first book won't be after my blood. So hold tight Courtney book 2 is on the way mate!
I don't think I had been prepared for how bloody hard I was going to find it picking up the story threads from book 1 and laying down the story threads for the third and final book. As well as all that there was the small matter of trying to tell a story that I hope people will find entertaining. In the end I think telling myself to stop procrastinating, stop making excuses and just finish the thing has helped. I also think seeing the energy and passion of the guys working on the Fallen Heroes comic has really given me a boost to get back to these characters that I love and this story.
I can confirm that book 2 will be called Forgotten Warriors. Now I've had some comments from people wishing the title was a little more different from the many titles out there. A few more wishing I had stuck with my working title Perdition's Shroud. All I can say is I wanted to pick titles for the trilogy that reflected the core of the story I'm telling and hopefully will work on a number of levels. Perdition's Shroud just felt like a title I had quite frankly pulled out of my ass and had no relationship to the story. Forgotten Warriors is very relevant to the core of this story as it will focus a lot more on the sidekicks/secondary characters from Fallen Heroes and let's face it Fallen Sidekicks would have been a crap title.
I've promised myself with the dawn of the new year I would crack on with this and that's still the plan. I have very rough first draft that still needs a lot of work doing on it before I let my test readers loose to tear it apart. Hopefully thought that's something I can get underway soon.
Junbobkim, the artist who did the awesome cover for Fallen Heroes will be back again doing the cover for Forgotten Warriors.
I would like to think that I've now learnt a lot more about the marketing/self publishing side of things so hopefully I'll be able to handle that side of things a lot better this time around.
Anyway for those of you who read Fallen Heroes I've stuck a short synopsis of Forgotten Warriors. Please do not read if you've not read Fallen Heroes as there are some huge spoilers.
Fallen Heroes becomes an Amazon Number 1 bestseller!

FRIDAY THE 13TH NOT SO UNLUCKY FOR POD FANTASY NOVEL FALLEN HEROES AS IT BECOMES AN AMAZON NUMBER 1 BESTSELLER.
Friday the 13th a date known for bad luck and misfortune decided this year to bestow a little good luck upon author Barry Nugent and his Print on Demand novel, Fallen Heroes.
Fallen Heroes gets it second Five Star Waterstone's review!
During March I did my second Official Waterstone's signing this time at Milton Keynes. The signing went really well and there's now a nice display behind the counter of the book (photos coming soon).
Anyway the manager of the store was great on the day and very supportive. After reading the book he gave it a five star recommendation on the Waterstones website with the following write-up.
I loved reading this book, particularly for its clever plot that subtly draws all factors together for a big bang effect. It reads like a TV series, with cliff hangers at the end of most chapters, and larger than life characters with big egos and quick wits. The book as a whole draws on many popular culture references & influences, and is easily compared to 'Sin City', 'The Da Vinci Code', 'Heroes' or 'Buffy' – there really is something for everyone and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone that enjoys reading or watching Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

PAIA is an act that was passed to give effect to the constitutional right, held by everyone in South African, of access to information which is held by the State or by another person and which is required for the exercise or protection of any right. Where a request is made in terms of PAIA, the body to which the request is made is obliged to give access to the requested information, except where the Act expressly provides that the information may or must not be released.
It is important to note that PAIA recognizes certain limitations to the right of access to information, including, but not exclusively, limitations aimed at the reasonable protection of privacy, commercial confidentiality, and effective, efficient and good governance, and in a manner which balances that right with any other rights, including such rights contained in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution.
POPI was enacted in November 2013, to promote the protection of personal information processed by public and private bodies. POPI amended certain provisions of PAIA, balancing the need for access to information against the need to ensure the protection of personal information.

Notification of decision
PERKALOO will, within 30 days of receipt of the request, decide whether to grant or decline the request and give notice with reasons (if required) to that effect.
The 30 day period, within which PERKALOO has to decide whether to grant or refuse the request, may be extended for a further period of not more than 30 days if the information cannot reasonably be obtained within the original 30 day period.

Today's trading: It was not a pretty close. A wave of sell orders dropped us to the lows of the day right at the close.
Anxiety on fiscal cliff remains, but worry is not off the charts.
Sectors thought to be negatively affected by an Obama second term (defense, coal, dividend payers) were down again today, but not as much as yesterday and on not as much volume.
"Calif. raise their state taxes on high earners RETROACTOVE to Jan??? think about that. RETROACTIVE tax increases?? thats not a good sign. how will we ever get spending problem and entitlement problem under control when the current admin. doesnt even see that as the problem..."
I hear a lot about capital gains tax increases from traders. I continue to see weakness in some high-beta names (Apple ) that suggest traders are concerned about protecting the gains they have made this year and are trying to dodge headline risks associated with the fiscal cliff.
But do I see a total freak-out? I do not.
I've been watching the Volatility Index (VIX) and futures on the Volatility Index carefully for the last two days for signs that traders are freaking out over the fiscal cliff. If they thought we were going over, they would have rushed to buy protection. The VIX would have spiked — I mean really spiked, like going from 18 to 25 or higher. It has not. It closed at 18.49.
To put this in perspective, when the debate on the debt ceiling exploded in August 2011, and the S&P downgraded U.S. debt, traders went ballistic: the VIX went almost to 50, rivaled only by the spike in volatility during the May 2010 Flash Crash and after the Lehman collapse.
My point? There's worry, but people aren't jumping out windows.
Could ETFs benefit from "fiscal cliff anxiety?" Some are looking at alternative investments, like Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Why?
There is already some normal, end-of-year movement of ETFs that is happening. But there's an factor this year: ETFs almost never distribute capital gains, and with anxiety about capital gains tax increases growing, that is a big plus.
There are two types of capital gains: 1) capital gains from buying and selling in a portfolio, and 2) capital gains from selling your individual position in a stock, mutual fund, or ETF.
Most ETFs never distribute capital gains from buying and selling in the portfolio because 1) most are not actively managed, so there is relatively little buying and selling within the funds, and 2) ETFs have a more tax efficient structure due to the way shares are created and redeemed.
In an actively traded mutual fund, if I sell $10,000 of that fund back to the fund, the fund has to go and sell the underlying stocks in that fund, and that creates a taxable event for me.
In an ETF, there is no taxable event from buying and selling the underlying portfolio. If I want to sell $10,000 of an ETF, I can do it by selling to my broker. It may be bought by another natural buyer, or by a market maker. The market maker will go to the ETF fund itself and delivers those shares, and the fund in return will give the underlying stocks back to the market maker. That does not trigger a capital gain.
Come year end, the ETF and its shareholders will not owe any taxes due a distribution of capital gains. There will be a capital gain from selling my position, but I won't get a separate bill on capital gains distributions.
Get it? It's a more efficient tax structure. That's why ETFs make more sense for many investors.
1) Only 20 of 756 equity ETFs paid distributions—less than 3% of all equity ETFs, and again, the gains they did pay out were tiny.
2) By comparison, 24 percent of equity mutual fund share classes made a capital gains distribution.
I'm not expecting everyone to go out and sell their mutual funds to buy ETFs. That wouldn't make much sense.
But I do think that a lot of new capital will continue to flow into ETFs.

This chapter sets out the theory of justice which underpins the book's central claims. It argues that all human beings have a fundamental interest in living a minimally flourishing life of which autonomy and well-being are central components, which in turn, implies that they all have rights against the better-off to the material resources they need to lead such a life. However, the better off are under a duty to help if, and only if, they would not jeopardize their own prospects for a minimally flourishing life.


there are a few blogs and sites i have been following for a few years.
OK, i lurk on these sites, not commenting usually.
i am often impressed and inspired by the artists who write them.
a true original, massively creative and inspiring.
she put me onto the socks for japan site and i just imploded.
have been visiting family over there for the past two months.
they are in kaga and safe on the west coast of the island.
but i have been panic stricken for weeks.
so when i saw the socks site i decided it was time to act.
and i am taking my elementary school kids with me.
we will be collecting and packaging socks for shipment to japan.
everyone is interested and willing to help.
so i just had to put this out there and get into the frey, finally.
and on your sock drive.


Let's start by saying that we totally want to hang out with these guys. We found out about them via an MTV article about them, and we fell in love with their stuff instantly. Bought their album on iTunes, watched a bunch of their videos, and knew that we'd have to talk about them for K Crunch. This song, 12:00, is a lot different than another one of our favourite songs by them, Troublemaker, but both songs are rock your socks awesome. Side note: we sometimes go dancing at the club they're playing at in the Troublemaker video: Club FF.
We find it cool when we have some kind of connection to a band that we listen to. We actually saw the Cello player in an event a while ago. She wasn't playing the Cello back then. She was jamming away at a keyboard, but she was still awesome. Anyhow, that was a random story. More importantly, even though this song is really long (comparable to the three other songs on this list COMBINED) we're totally digging the atmospheric, epic rock sound of this song. It's very different from the other two songs we mentioned thus far on the list, and hopefully you'll like it as much as we do. If you are, read more about them over at Korean Indie (by the way, yes, we like linking to Korean Indie. They're good people and are doing a great job of covering the Indie scene here.
This is a bit late (and by 'a bit late' I mean a lot late…five months late…) BUT I love Loro/Roro/Lolo's sound!!! This may or may not be the wine speaking (White Zinfandel, how do I love thee, let me count the ways) but I would really just like to lay in the middle of one of their sessions and have them play the most beautiful music all around me. Excellent comparison to Explosions in the Sky. Something, Something, Brave New World!
Any idea where I can download The Koxx's Access Ok album legally in the US? I don't have a disc drive so getting the album off yesasia is a no go.
I have a question that I really hope you will answer!!
Ok so in the clip in the playlist above before "Memories of the Song" (which I loved btw…), Simon, you named several songs starting with "Ya Ya Ya" by T-Ara. What was the last song?? You even sang some of the chorus!! I couldn't understand the name of the song and was really curious!! Pretty please with a cherry on top, could you tell me the name of that song and the artist??
Thanks so much for making these videos!!!
Katamari Damacy is a video game.
Just saying the album the that 12:00 from the koxx is on is awesome :3 If everyone gets a chance check out the whole album.
This section is really horrible to my wallet.
Anyhoo… I love how at the Koxx vid they keep the drummer from going to get rejected. It's like no dude, just don't do it. Seriously don't even try.
And here I only thought Tool made songs that long :) That's not a knock cause Tool is one of my favorite bands. Loved all the indie songs you show cased today (really didn't watch the videos cause I was drawing the whole time). Need all these songs on my iPod.
Hi Simon and Martina! Have you guys heard Casker's song "Mocha?" It's really cute, even though I don't understand a word haha.
a) I love EVERY SONG on the K-Crunch this week. It's so good!
c) That animation is a 3D animation with a photoshop filter applied to it Simon, is not 2D animation. I could explain in detail how they do the effect but it's pretty complex and boring if you don't understand 3D computer rendering.
d) I love yo faces!
I never knew you could use a bow on an electric guitar until I saw Loro's video. O_O! Anyway, Loro's song has this kind of therapeutic effect on me. I feel at ease listening to it.
No, never heard of it. Sounds like it would be funny, though.
the koxx hahaha….its hard to understand the English in the song(:!~!
i get the feeling ~korean indie~ has a very elaborate taste in korean indie, i loooove roro/lolo/whatevs!!!!!


30-minute easy keto butter chicken. This delicious recipe is a popular Indian recipe. Low Carb and perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
This keto butter chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices then simmered in a tomato cream sauce. I like blending the sauce for two reasons. It crushes the mustard and cumin seeds and pulls the spices throughout the entire sauce. And of course, I love a smooth texture for keto butter chicken. This is the perfect low carb keto dinner recipe. I served this with cauliflower steamed rice. You can serve it with low carb naan or anything you'd like.
Flavorful and delicious keto butter chicken that's keto friendly AND low carb! Make this in under 30 minutes for an easy, healthy weeknight dinner.
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, 1/2 tbsp ginger garlic paste, 1/2 tbsp garam masala, Kashmiri powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat the chicken with the yogurt mixture and set aside.
Warm up 1 tbsp of butter and oil in a large skillet.
Cook the chicken 2 minutes on each side.
Add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, cinnamon stick, and bay leave.
Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the seeds start to pop.
Add the remaining garam masala and cook for an additional 15 seconds.
Add the onions and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the remaining ginger garlic paste and cook for an additional 15 seconds.
Add the crushed tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
Discard the cinnamon stick and bay leave.
Blend the tomato mixture until smooth.
Place the tomato mixture back in the skillet.
Add the heavy cream and remaining butter.
Add the chicken, cover, and cook for 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
