Feather Girls - Analysis and Interpretation
Submitted By mars1523
The short story 'feather girls' by Claire Massey, from 2010 is a very imaginary and well written story, which leaves you behind with the sensation of unknowing.
I believe the text has a very deep meaning to it, which I will try to find. In the short story we meet a man called Bill. We can see from the text, that Bill is old "A collection of regulars cluttered the bar, all grey haired men similar age to him". Bill has a wife, who he does not see very often, as she has "flown off" by herself, as their children were grown. In the village, where the story unfolds it is common to give your wife a feather coat from feather girls, but Bill has fallen in love with a feather girl. The feather girl's name is unknown, but Bill and her have been seeing each other for a long time "All these years of going to meet her and yet still, every time, he felt like a lad. They have been doing the same thing over and over again, meeting each other at a local pub called the Hare and Anchor, eating vinegar crisps with salt "packet of salt and vinegar crisps.
Here at the pub we are introduced to the landlady of the pub, Mary. Mary is the most interesting character in my opinion, because her curiosity about the couple is intriguing. Mary is described as stingy "Mary was stingy with the coal, still too early in the year for a fire whatever the chill in the air said".
Mary is living in the past, and never throws anything away "Collections of one kind or another littered the pub, whisky boxes, empty wine bottles, framed pictures of 1930s film stars who would never have visited a place like this. There were three dart boards on one wall, but nobody remembered where the darts were. On the mantel piece there were stacks of glass ash trays, scorched and lined with grit. A monument to times past, or testament to the fact Mary could never throw...
Litarature
...Examine the endings (with close attention to the last 'scene' and the last paragraph) of at least three 20c. short stories and consider how the author handles them and their relation to the story as a whole. The art of ending short stories has been hotly contested for centuries. As humans we naturally desire firm conclusions that tie up the story's various loose threads and leave us with a sense of satisfaction. Many writers, in modern times, have tried to challenge this convention, preferring to leave endings open for interpretation and development of thought. This is connected with the developing idea that a short story is, in essence, a brief glimpse into a character's life. In this sense, there is a future outside of the ending, which negates the requirement for an effective conclusion. Flannery O'Connor is an example of a modern writer who sought to challenge the conventions of a story's ending. Her tale, 'Everything That Rises Must Converge,' is told from the perspective of Julian, a college graduate who is being supported by his mother while he seeks employment. The plot revolves around a ride on an integrated bus, and the crisis point comes in the form of a confrontation between Julian's mother and a black woman wearing the same hat. Julian repeatedly conveys his wish to be rid of his mother, going so far as to dream about her being seriously ill. Despite this, his reaction upon her stroke shows exactly how dependant he is on her: 'His voice was thin, scarcely a...
The Black Swan and Human Perfectionism
...Patricia Villacís Galarza IB Code: 001421-054 Words: 3980 Abstract The research question of this extended essay is: To what extend the need of being perfect leads man to its own destruction? It is an analysis of perfection through the film The Black Swan. In the film the main character, Nina, is an obsessed ballerina who at the end destroyed her own life. I began the essay trying to prove that her obsession with being perfect is what leaded her to her destruction and death, but after analyzing the movie it all turned around. I based my investigation in reviews of the film, different type of articles; such as from doctors who give their opinion about Nina's behavior. These ones in particular where the most important for the answer of my research question, because these doctors have analyzed the mental condition of Nina and together with my own opinion it helped me to come to a conclusion. I also focused on the opinion of various dancers about the film, because they are the ones that understand the world of ballet more than anyone else. At last there were also interviews with the director to explain why he decided to make this movie and what he was trying to prove through it. The movie was, of course my principal source, I applied the whole investigation in the analysis of the movie. Then after having read all that information and having analyzed the movie to the end, I came to the conclusion that the need of being perfect of a human being is not what guides to its......
...in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract This article discusses the complexity of literary analysis and the implications of using fiction as a source of sociological data. This project infuses literary analysis with sociological imagination. Using a random sample of children's novels published between 1930 and 1980, this article describes both a methodological approach to the analysis of children's books and the subsequent development of two analytical categories of novels. The first category captures books whose narratives describe and support unequal social arrangements; the second category captures those whose narratives work instead to identify inequality and disrupt it. Building on Griswold's methodological approach to literary fiction, this project examines how children's novels describe, challenge, or even subvert systems of inequality. Through a sociological reading of three sampled texts – Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, A Wrinkle in Time, and Hitty: Her First Hundred Years – readers learn how these analytical categories work and how the sociology of literature might be enriched by attention to structural forms of inequality within literary fiction. This essay investigates children's books in order to reinvigorate the discussion and use of novels by sociologists. Keywords: childhood, fiction, gender, literary analysis, literary narrative, power relations, social inequalities, Sociology, Sociology of literature Acknowledgments: I...
Interpretation of Dreams
...The Interpretation of Dreams Sigmund Freud (1900) PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION Wheras there was a space of nine years between the first and second editions of this book, the need of a third edition was apparent when little more than a year had elapsed. I ought to be gratified by this change; but if I was unwilling previously to attribute the neglect of my work to its small value, I cannot take the interest which is now making its appearance as proof of its quality. The advance of scientific knowledge has not left The Interpretation of Dreams untouched. When I wrote this book in 1899 there was as yet no "sexual theory," and the analysis of the more complicated forms of the psychoneuroses was still in its infancy. The interpretation of dreams was intended as an expedient to facilitate the psychological analysis of the neuroses; but since then a profounder understanding of the neuroses has contributed towards the comprehension of the dream. The doctrine of dream-interpretation itself has evolved in a direction which was insufficiently emphasized in the first edition of this book. From my own experience, and the works of Stekel and other writers, [1] I have since learned to appreciate more accurately the significance of symbolism in dreams (or rather, in unconscious thought). In the course of years, a mass of data has accumulated which demands consideration. I have endeavored to deal with these innovations by interpolations in the text and footnotes. If these additions do...

This study reports on the content analysis of hand hygiene posters (NZ69) and their messages (NZ75) using message-framing theory. The results showed that posters seldom drew on knowledge about effective ways to frame messages. Frequently, they simply conveyed information 'telling' rather than 'selling' and some of this was confusing. Most posters were not designed to motivate, and some conveyed mixed messages. Few used fear appeals. Hand hygiene posters could have a greater impact if principles of message framing were utilized in their design. Suggestions for gain-framed messages are offered, but these need to be tested empirically. Q 2005 The Hospital Infection Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This fourth edition has been revised and updated with twenty new sections, covering new accounts of language origins, the key properties of language, text messaging, kinship terms and more than twenty new word etymologies. To increase student engagement with the text, Yule has also included more than fifty new tasks, including thirty involving data analysis, enabling students to apply what they have learned. The online study guide offers students further resources when working on the tasks, while encouraging lively and proactive learning. This is the most fundamental and easy-to-use introduction to the study of language. George Yule has taught Linguistics at the Universities of Edinburgh, Hawai'i, Louisiana State and Minnesota.

Compilation of Nursery Rhymes
...Poetry Nursery Rhymes Most children love being told nursery rhymes. Many of the nursery rhymes that we have read to our children have their origins in British history. Rhymes were written for many different reasons. Some rhymes were written to honor a particular local event that has since been forgotten, while others were written to express feelings of love. Rhymes were also used to hide real meanings, such as when someone wanted to express displeasure toward the government or the sovereign without being executed. Another reason for rhymes is that they're easy to remember, and therefore could be spread by word-of-mouth—an essential feature for a large population of people who could not read or write. So here are some of many nursery rhymes that have been written: Jack be Nimble (aka Jack b Nimble) Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack jump over The candlestick. Little Tommy Tucker Little Tommy Tucker sings for his supper, What shall we give him? Brown bread and butter. How shall he cut it without a knife? How shall he marry without a wife? The Grand old Duke of York The Grand old Duke of York he had ten thousand men He marched them up to the top of the hill And he marched them down again.

In Malaysia, most Ibans are located in Sarawak, a small portion in Sabah and some in west Malaysia. They were formerly known during the colonial period by the British as Sea Dayaks. Ibans were renowned for practising headhunting and tribal/territorial expansion and had a fearsome reputation as a strong and successful warring tribe in ancient times. Since the arrival of Europeans and the subsequent colonisation of the area, headhunting gradually faded out of practice although many tribal customs, practices and language continue. The Iban population is concentrated in Sarawak, Brunei, and in the West Kalimantan region of Indonesia. They live in longhouses called rumah panjai[1]. Nowadays, most of the Iban longhouses are equipped with modern facilities such as electricity and water supply and other facilities such as (tar sealed) roads, telephone lines and the internet. Younger Ibans are mostly found in urban areas and visit their hometowns during the holidays. The Ibans today are becoming......
...ROMEO & JULIET Prologue (ACT 1) As a prologue to the play, the Chorus enters. In a fourteen-line sonnet, the Chorus describes two noble households (called "houses") in the city of Verona. The houses hold an "ancient grudge" (Prologue.2) against each other that remains a source of violent and bloody conflict. The Chorus states that from these two houses, two "star-crossed" (Prologue.6) lovers will appear. These lovers will mend the quarrel between their families by dying. The story of these two lovers, and of the terrible strife between their families, will be the topic of this play. ANALYSIS This opening speech by the Chorus serves as an introduction to Romeo and Juliet. We are provided with information about where the play takes place, and given some background information about its principal characters. The obvious function of the Prologue as introduction to the Verona of Romeo and Juliet can obscure its deeper, more important function. The Prologue does not merely set the scene of Romeo and Juliet, it tells the audience exactly what is going to happen in the play. The Prologue refers to an ill-fated couple with its use of the word "star-crossed," which means, literally, against the stars. Stars were thought to control people's destinies. But the Prologue itself creates this sense of fate by providing the audience with the knowledge that Romeo and Juliet will die even before the play has begun. The audience therefore watches the play with the expectation that it......
A Comparison of Jane Eyre and Lin Daiyu in the View of Philosophy and Feminism
...A Comparison of Jane Eyre and Lin Daiyu in the View of Philosophy and Feminism I. Introduction 1.1 A Brief Introduction of Jane Eyre and Lin Daiyu "A Dream of Red Mansions" is one of the most outstanding works of China's classic novels of realism. It bases on the background of Jia, Shi, Wang, Xue four families' rising and falling, with the clue of the love tragedy of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. It truly and artistically reflects the historically declining trend of China's feudal society. "A Dream of Red Mansions" can also be described as "Girls' Country", which is the anthem of female, but also is the threnody of women. The heroine Lin Daiyu, Annatto Fairy, wants to repay the goodness of God Shen Yin, taking her lifetime of tears in exchange for his being saved. Her rebellious sprit and solitary character, makes her as a lotus opening at a secluded place, clinging to her own pureness—for pure you came and pure shall go. She is sentimental and unfortunate, and is doomed to being lonely and pathetical .She, Lin Daiyu, lives under another's house—Rong mansion, Grand View Garden, and she has no one to complain her sadness to. She is "Yea to the very end of heaven, Where I could find a fragrant grave!" in frustration, "What time the third moon comes, the scented nests have been already built. And on the beams the swallows perch, excessive spiritless and staid" in sorrow, and finally ends up with the sadness of "Flowers fade and maidens die; and of either naught any more is......

The St. James Jr. Canucks have traded defenceman Darren Chrisp to the River East Royal Knights in exchange for forward Curtis Rebeck.
This season, Rebeck, 18, suited up for 13 games with the Winnipeg Blues of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, recording one assist. In the two years prior to that, he put up 26 goals and 38 assists for 64 points in 92 games with the Winnipeg Thrashers Midget AAA. In his second year with the Thrashers, he was nearly a point per game player with 40 points in 48 games.
Chrisp, 18, was in his first season with the Canucks and had a goal and three assists in 15 games. In the two years prior to his MMJHL rookie campaign, Chrisp played with the Parkland Rangers Midget AAA.
The Canucks want to thank Darrin for his commitment to the team and the organization both on and off the ice and wish him the best of luck in his hockey career and all of his future endeavors.
The Canucks are back in game action Sunday, Jan 13 when they host the Pembina Valley Twisters.


Macrobiotic-Gastronomic restaurant project in the Maremagnum building, with two rooms for 30 and 80 diners respectively.
The architecture is inspired by a Mediterranean cove, metaphorically placing ourselves with our back to the rocks, looking at the sea.
The kitchen is located between the two dining rooms as if it were a huge rock that contains, inside, the heart of the machine that is providing the food, but also the air, the light, and the energy that nourishes the space.
The rock and the beach are covered in wood, providing warmth and contrast. The abstraction is enhanced by the surrounding glass, which, in its own way, successively displays and hides the spaces of the two restaurants. Wood, glass, steel and ceramics form the tectonic palette.
In the larger restaurant, the furniture is a flexible system in which tables can be joined, separated and moved to create different configurations and adjusted to allow an original tray system in which all the dishes from the chosen menu fit.
In the small restaurant, the tables are round or oval and, in a direct homage to a certain French chef, are covered in white tablecloths over a soft perimeter, so that the diners' legs aren't trapped by the fabric. The configuration is less flexible here but the space per person is more generous.
In conclusion: Between the rocks and the sea: an ideal place to recover vital energy.

The National Resistance IS Post-Coup Honduras! Arnold August on the Before and After

Pre and Post-Coup Honduras
This country is now more than ever part of this vast movement in South America for new economic, anti neo-liberal policies and political institutions, while being against US domination, pillage of its natural resources, and installation and extension of military bases
By Arnold August
The Frente Nacional de Resistencia is leading the courageous struggle of the Honduran people. For 70 consecutive days the people of Honduras, from all walks of life, are confronting violent repression by the military and the police. They are peacefully, with a very coherent political and increasingly sophisticated organization, putting forward their demands. These include the restoration of the constitutional order in Honduras and the return of President Zelaya. As the situation is evolving the people are more and more pressing for a constituent assembly to re-found the constitution and the nation. They are saying that whether Zelaya returns or not, this has become the objective of the on-going resistance.
Now that the elections have been called by the coup perpetuators, the Frente Nacional de Resistencia has also called for the boycott of the elections. The non-recognition of the elections and the simultaneous continued mass movement in the streets for a new Honduras is a most important phase in the battle. Workers' and employees' unions, women activist groups, peasants, students, intellectuals and other sections of the society are all in the forefront. The Honduran putschists are hoping to legitimize the coup through the holding of the elections.
Political forces not connected with the military regime are also joining forces with the mass movement. The Resistance has gained so much prestige that it has succeeded in winning the adherence of a wide range of political forces. For example, on July 18 (over one and a half months ago), in an interview with Prensa Latina's Raimundo López, the presidential candidate (at that time) for the Partido de Unificación Democrática (UD) and current deputy César Ham stated that that there is "a pre and post-coup Honduras." His statement, in very few words, crystallized the current situation in Honduras and provides the historical context. The UD has joined the Frente Nacional de Resistencia in the streets. In fact two of UD's leading members were assassinated by the military regime. On August 31, according to a Prensa Latina report, Ham and others UD members confirmed that they are boycotting the elections. Other non-traditional and even some sections of the traditional political forces are doing the same. "The grassroots movement," Zelaya said [as reported in The Nation, September 4, 2009], has only one purpose, the transformation of Honduras, including deep structural changes. "This movement is now very strong. It can never be destroyed," he said.[1] On September 5, when the people's resistance against the military coup was going on for 70 days, the Frente Nacional de Resistencia was analyzing its next actions.
Post-coup Honduras has now joined the movement that has been spreading like wild-fire across South America, even if its elected President Zelaya is not in the country at this time. This grass-roots South American movement represents a push in favour of people's power and against neo liberal policies and US domination. The goal is to use the ballot box in order to bring about radical change in their respective countries. The election of constituent assemblies and the writing of new modern constitutions have already been accomplished in several countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador. Others such as Nicaragua, El Salvador and Paraguay just to mention a few, have taken the path to re-found their nations. Cuba is the pioneer, even if change took place in entirely different historical conditions and with different means. The 1959 triumph of the Revolution and its resulting complete revolutionary transformation had its roots in the nineteenth century Cuban Mambisi tradition. Amongst other characteristics, it consisted of people writing their own constitutions as a Republic in Arms while Cuba was still a colony of Spain.
Honduras was known as an example of what the US deprecatingly and arrogantly described as a banana republic. Honduras is the third poorest nation in all of South America and the Caribbean. Honduras is highly illiterate as was the case in Bolivia before election of Evo Morales and the re-founding of the political system there. However, it is these people of Honduras who are now giving lessons to Washington as to what is needed, that is a new modern constitution.
The political and economic situation in the US is so bad that given its immense foreign debt even some American commentators refer, tongue-in-cheek of course, to the US as a banana republic. The US was the scene of two fraudulent elections victories under the Bush family. How is it that a program for health reform results in a strongly divided nation with citizens at odds with each other, while right-wing extremist opponents to the new health scheme are even threatening violence? While in theory slavery and official racial discrimination have been eliminated in favour of civil rights, racism is not only still rampant, but it is on the increase in the society. Americans of Latino origin are increasingly the victims of racist attacks from the major media, trickling down into the society. Racism is institutionalised. Even President Obama is the victim of right-wing racist threats and attempts at intimidation. While there was a move to impeach former Vice-President Cheney (something which never was capable of being executed) for war crimes and lying to his fellow citizens in order to lead them into a war, there are now rumours that Cheney may be a candidate for the 2012 presidential elections! If Cheney turns out to be only a non-candidate, he is definitely leading the charge at this time for a return to Bush-era politics. The Washington Post openly supports torture and coincides with the Cheney position.[2] The full story of September 11 is still to be revealed by the US government. The US is the biggest arms and drugs dealer in the world. All of this and much more take place in the murky swamp in conformity with, and/or the violation of, the US Constitution.
The peoples in the south are advancing. Would not the most progressive and forward-thinking sections of United States society take this movement into account and thus reflect upon the need for a new constitution in the US itself which would assure the citizens control over their destiny and over foreign policy? (The same question applies to other countries in the north.)
The people of Honduras, for their part, are certainly for a constituent assembly and a new constitution: Poetic justice for the inhabitants of a "banana republic." During the period leading up to the coup, President Zelaya was leading his people towards a new situation. That is why he was ousted. However, post-coup Honduras has changed the country. The movement since June 28 is even more profound and going beyond pre-coup Honduras. This country is now more than ever part of this vast movement in South America for new economic, anti neo-liberal policies and political institutions, while being against US domination, pillage of its natural resources, and installation and extension of military bases. Honduras may have its ups and downs in the near future, but in the long-run, the trend is irreversible – as it is throughout the south which is today rising up.

for the above configuration I couldn't generate the logs
is there anything wrong in this line logger.rolling.name = com.dite.filter.ax?
could any one please tell me what mistake I have done in this configuration?
or
suggest me other way to generate logs for above specified package structure

A: You configuration of the com.dite.filter.ax logger is correct, but you didn't configure the root logger.
If you want to ignore all log messages that do not come from com.dite.filter.ax and its descendants use:
rootLogger.level = OFF

Q: Angular2 .filter is not a function While following a tutorial to filter data using angular2 pipes, got below error
EXCEPTION: Error in ./PmProductsComponent class PmProductsComponent - inline template:20:28 caused by: value.filter is not a function

Is anyone able to shed some light as to why value.filter is not a function. It seems to align with the tutorials syntax, I am thinking perhaps an update came out that requires something different?
PIPE
import {PipeTransform, Pipe} from '@angular/core';
import {IProduct} from './product';

@Pipe( {
    name: 'productFilter'
})
export class ProductFilterPipe implements PipeTransform{
    transform(value:IProduct[], filterBy:string): IProduct[] {
        filterBy = filterBy ? filterBy.toLocaleLowerCase(): null;

        return filterBy ? value.filter((product: IProduct)=>
        product.productName.toLocaleLowerCase().indexOf(filterBy) !== -1): value;
    }

}

                            {{item.starRating}}

A: You need to register your pipes in your App Module declaration section. make sure you included that in your app module.
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    ProductFilterPipe
  ],
  imports: [
   ...
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Another thing, not sure you can add filter in *ngIF block. try it first outside in normal bind {{}} then put it in the ngif block if it works

A: Change this line

 // wrong

to this

 // correct

Change this line

to this

 // applying pipe here

Hope that helps.

I sit down with Rob Schwalb, professional game designer who has worked for Green Ronin, Mongoose Publishing, Fantasy Flight Games, Monte Cook Games, Wizards of the Coast, and more. Rob was one of the designers ofDungeons and Dragons fifth edition and has launched his own company, Schwalb Entertainment which is currently running a Kickstarter campaign for its upcoming release of Shadow of the Demon Lord on March 12. This podcast was recorded on February 17, 2015.
I sit down with Rudy Basso, Alex Basso, Allison Rossi, and Joe Lastowski to talk about the new D&D Elemental Evil miniatures from Wiz Kids, the new Behind the Screens digital column on the D&D website, and the comedic web series, DM Support Group, from Wizards of the Coast. This podcast was recorded on February 22, 2015.
I sit down with Liz Theis, Wade Kemper, and Topher Kohan to talk about the upcoming release of D&D Dice Masters from Wiz Kids and the first fifth edition feedback survey. This podcast was recorded on February 8, 2015.
On Tuesday I posted about adding new planes to the cosmology of Exploration Age. In today's post I'd like to discuss Exploration Age's overlap zones.
If you're familiar with this blog you may remember the concept of overlap zones from my entry entitled The Planes months ago. Well, I've tweaked/completely changed a few things and now I want to show off the new overlap zones in Exploration Age. Take a look at the excerpt from the upcoming Exploration Age Campaign Guide below.
On Canus certain planes overlap with the Material Plane in different places. These areas are known as overlap zones. Within these overlap zones there are strange physical effects on the Material Plane. Perhaps more importantly permanent portals can be created between worlds within overlap zones.
Think about creatures who might make their home in or seek to control an overlap zone. A red dragon would make great use of its breath weapon and open a permanent portal to bring forth minions in a Plane of Fire overlap zone. A necromancer might build a tower in a portion of a swamp which overlaps with the Shadowfell to create resilient undead. A demon lord might seek to open an portal in an Abyss overlap zone, in order to bring forth a mighty army.
Overlap zones vary in size. An entire forest might be a Feywild or Arborea overlap zone as might a tiny rose garden on a castle estate. The size and frequency of overlap zones is up to the DM.
Each description below gives a plane and its various overlap zone effects. Any overlap zone effects end once outside the overlap zone, unless otherwise noted in the description.
Acheron. A creature gains 10 temporary hit points whenever it reduces another creature to 0 hit points.
Arborea. Plants in the zone act at the start of the initiative order. Any evil creature within 5 feet of a sizable plant, such as a tree or bush, must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is restrained by the plant. The restrained creature can use its action to break free by making a DC 15 Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check.
Arcadia. Creatures are immune to disease and any creature suffering from a disease is instantly cured upon entering the overlap zone.
The Abyss. Demons know the exact whereabouts of any non-evil creature within 100 feet of them.
The Beastlands. Any beasts gain a +2 bonus to AC and all creatures have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks.
The Blood Fields. The protection from evil and good and dispel evil and good have no effect.
Bytopia. At the end of a short or long rest, creatures of a lawful good or neutral good alignment gain 20 temporary hit points.
Carceri. When entering the overlap zone, all creatures must succeed on a DC 10 Charisma saving throw. Creatures who fail feel a rush of despair which lasts with them as long as they remain in the overlap zone and stays with the creature for a 24-hour period after leaving the overlap zone. This despair imposes disadvantage on all saving throws.
Elysium. Creatures in the overlap zone cannot be frightened.
Feywild. Spells which deal acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage deal an extra 5 damage per spell level of that damage type.
Gehenna. Creatures gain advantage on Charisma (Deception) checks.
Hades. It takes twice as long to gain the benefit of a short or long rest.
Limbo. Any solid ground in the area is constantly quaking. Once per hour all standing creatures must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone and take 1d6 bludgeoning damage and the ground around them shakes and moves.
Mechanus. Any creature who tries to lie must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be compelled to tell the truth.
Mount Celestia. The conjure celestial spell has a duration of 8 hours and does not require concentration.
Murderfall. When a creature scores a critical hit, it rolls all of the attack's damage dice three times and adds them together with any modifiers to calculate damage.
The Nine Hells. Devils know the exact whereabouts of any non-evil creature within 100 feet of them.
Pandemonium. Strong winds in the area prevent creatures from flying higher than 10 feet off the ground.
Plane of Air. Creatures without a fly speed gain a fly speed equal to their walking speed. Creatures with a fly speed have their fly speed doubled.
Plane of Earth. While in the zone, an effect that would normally kill a creature instead causes it to regain hit points equal to its hit point maximum and become a petrified stone statue.
Plane of Fire. Spells and attacks which deal fire damage, deal an extra 10 fire damage.
Plane of Water. Creatures can breathe underwater and creatures with a swim speed have their swim speed doubled.
Savalization. Civilized (as determined by the DM) humanoids have disadvantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws and ability checks.
Shadowfell. Undead creatures resist all damage except bludgeoning and radiant.
Stryfe. Creatures who die are targeted by a reincarnate spell.
Ysgard. A creature heals 5 hit points whenever it reduces another creature to 0 hit points.
Overlap zones can be used in many campaign settings. Let me know if you plan to use them or a similar idea in your world!

As the title refers, my footer when less than 768px vw width(mobile), The footer just runs off the edge and I've tried changing the padding between the image and the text and it does not change. I know this script is huge but it is kind of need to show what the footer would look like, if you don't mind putting this into a editor. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out!

A: The easiest thing you can do is apply display: flex to the .footer class.
Also, you should look into ways of doing that table without actually using tables. That would give the table a much better responsive look and feel.

Anne Heche Has Been Laid To Rest At Hollywood Forever Cemetery, A True Cemetery To The Stars
Why Tia Mowry Views Her Marriage As A Success Despite Divorce
Anne Heche now rests at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. The I Know What You Did Last Summer star was buried alongside some of the greatest stars Hollywood has ever known, and it's brought comfort to her mourning family.
Anne Heche's Burial Site
On August 5, Heche was involved in two car crashes after visiting Glass Hair Design in Los Angeles. The second crash engulfed her car in flames and left her brain dead. A few days later, her family took her off life support, and she passed away. The media has grown obsessed over whether or not she was on drugs at the time, but the fact remains that a family is mourning.
Two weeks after her death, Heche has reached her final resting place. She's been cremated with her ashes placed in a mausoleum at the storied Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Heche's son says the members of her family "are convinced our Mom would love the site we have chosen for her; it's beautiful, serene and she will be among her Hollywood peers."
Founded in 1899, Hollywood Forever Cemetery grew as the film industry did. It's turned into one of the most visited cemeteries in Los Angeles for sightseers and lovers of history. You can't walk two steps there without spotting the grave of an icon. Heche's spot is very close to Burt Reynolds and Mickey Rooney.

One of the most prominent monuments belongs to Johnny Ramone. A statue of the guitarist is adorned with quotes from his friends and trinkets from fans. Not far away, Dee Dee Ramone is memorialized with a bronze plaque of his own.
Hollywood Forever isn't restricted to actors either. Notorious gangster Bugsy Siegel is buried there, as is producer Tony Scott. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was buried here last year after the tragic shooting on the set of Rust. Superman creator Jerry Siegel and Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold are here as well.
Most Recent Company
Heche isn't the first star buried at Hollywood Forever Cemetery this year. Goodfellas star Paul Sorvino and grunge legend Mark Lanegan were both buried in Hollywood Forever in 2022. It's also turned into a popular spot for premieres and tours. It's a living place.
For now, Heche's ashes will stay in the mausoleum as her family waits for a headstone to be etched. A small private memorial will soon be held, and she'll be amongst her peers forevermore.

Trump administration presses again to overturn California sanctuary law
Local // News
Bob Egelko June 19, 2019 Updated: June 19, 2019 3:49 p.m.

The Trump administration says California has no right to "interfere with enforcement of federal immigration law" and is asking a federal appeals court to reconsider a panel's ruling upholding the state's sanctuary law, which limits local law enforcement cooperation with immigration officers.
The administration sued California in March 2018 after the Legislature and then-Gov. Jerry Brown countered President Trump's immigration crackdown with a package of laws asserting the state's authority over local policing and limiting federal agents' access to jails and workplaces.
The most far-reaching law, SB54, prohibits police and sheriffs from notifying federal agencies about an undocumented immigrant's scheduled release date from jail or from holding immigrants past their scheduled release so immigration agents can take them into custody. It does not apply to inmates charged with serious crimes and does not prohibit local sheriffs from publicly disclosing the release dates of all jail inmates.
A federal judge and a three-judge appeals court panel have upheld SB54, in rulings — both written by appointees of President George W. Bush — that said the federal government cannot require a state to assist in the enforcement of immigration laws. The rulings noted that the state laws were supported by a number of local prosecutors and law enforcement groups on the grounds that they would encourage migrants to report crimes to police rather than shying away for fear of deportation.

The Justice Department has now asked the full appeals court to order a new hearing before an 11-judge panel, an order that would require a majority vote among the court's 27 current judges.
A rehearing is needed "to correct the panel's exceptionally important and erroneous holding that the Constitution allows California to enact state laws that obstruct and discriminate against federal immigration enforcement," the administration's lawyers said in their latest filing.
The lawyers argued that Congress, when it allowed states to detain and prosecute immigrants who were subject to deportation, "assumed" states would cooperate with federal agents before releasing an immigrant from custody. California "prevents federal officers from obtaining custody through a safe and peaceful transfer," and requires them instead to "stake out a jail and seek to make a public arrest," government lawyers said.
Lower courts overturned a provision of another law in the package, AB450, which prohibited private employers from allowing immigration agents to enter private workplaces unless the agents had a warrant from a judge. But they upheld another part of the law requiring employers to notify employees of upcoming federal inspections of their records, a requirement the Trump administration also seeks to overturn.
Just as a state "could not require a financial institution to notify its clients when a financial regulator's investigation of the institution casts doubts on the clients' actions," Justice Department lawyers said, a state should not be allowed to warn employees about immigration inspections.
They also asked the court to invalidate a third law, AB103, which authorizes California's attorney general to conduct safety inspections of private detention centers that have federal contracts to hold immigrants during deportation proceedings.

Urgoo Cinema  (, Palace Cinema) is a cinema in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, one of the main movie theaters in the country.

The cinema was first founded in 1987 by Mosproekt of the Soviet Union. After privatization, it was owned from 1998 to 2006 by New Tour Safaris, but declining audiences led to it closing. In 2007, renovation of the building and technology began under the recommendation of Warner Bros. International Cinema and with the investments of Urgoo Cinema Co. On 17 April 2009, the new cinema opened, and now shows U.S. and domestic films in five screens daily.

Q: How to navigate to another view in NavigationView without NavigationButton in SwiftUI? As the questions says I want to navigate to another view without NavigationButton, something like "pushView" and "popView" in UIkit

A: I consider this more like a work-around for a limitation, but it worked for me:
Add a boolean state variable which defines whether the link is active. E.g.:
@State private var showLinkTarget = false

Add an invisible NavigationLink like this:
NavigationLink(destination: LinkTargetView(), isActive: self.$showLinkTarget ) {
   Spacer().fixedSize()
}


This book contains the letters written by Bud Hassenstab during his Army career, primarily to his sister Edna. These letters cover the timeline from Bud's time in basic training to his discharge and return to his hometown in January of 1946. His letters provide insight into the life of being trained and then being a drill instructor for replacement troops. The reader will get a sense of what was truly important to life of a new soldier. The letter's from Bud's time in European Theater of Operations also tells of his encounters with the French civilians after D-day, experiences in battle, and then life in Europe after the end of the war, including those conditions that lead to the onset of the Cold War. For a student of WWII history, these letters provide another perspective on what was important to the average soldier.
Gary Hassenstab was the youngest son of Alfred (Bud) and Mary Hassenstab. He has always had an interest in history, especially WWII. These letters were a catalyst to learn even more about the life of the GI during that time. His daughter, Carly provided great assistance with editing and revising non-letter content of the book. Carly has had several poems and short stories published in local literary publications in the Kansas City area.
Gary previously published a book on leadership titled "Old School Leadership Wisdoms: A Return to Leadership Values of a Previous Generation - Dusted off, Re-examined, and Refreshed for the 21st Century."

Q: How to continue a macro after an error is generated I have an MS Excel macro that creates a number of PivotTables. The issue is that if a value that I am filtering on no longer exists an error is generated and the macro stops (the rest of the PivotTables are not created). The offending line is:
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields("Test Cycle").CurrentPage = _
    "SIT Cycle 2"

If "SIT Cycle 2" has no errors today then it will not be in the source data and an error is thrown in the macro. Instead, I would like to print "Nil" on the active sheet and continue. The macro will eventually create about ten individual PivotTables.
The Macro is:

Home NATIONALSwedish national held on charge of human trafficking
Thu, 05 Feb, 2015 12:09:45 AM
FTimes – STT Report, Feb 5
A Swedish man suspected of smuggling a boy aged 11 has been detained in the country.
Lead investigator Jan Sundell from the Gulf of Finland Coast Guard District said the suspect, estimated to be about 50 years old, had arrived with the boy from the Middle East via Singapore.
The man's journey with the boy was supposed to continue from the country to Sweden, which was apparently the final destination.
According to Sundell, the two had presented themselves as father and son. However, their behaviour raised suspicions among the immigration authorities at the Helsinki Airport.
The suspect had presented a passport which belonged to someone else, claiming it was the boy's.
Sundell said the boy had apparently been sent along the man to head to Sweden, and the rest of the family were to follow behind. The man and the boy were not known to each other before the journey.
The man is suspected of involvement in smuggling in a few other cases. He is also suspected of working for money and of being part of an organised crime group.
The Finnish Border Guard took the man into custody at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport last Saturday. The authorities did not reveal the case until Wednesday, said the news agency Xinhua quoting Yle.
The Finnish newspaper Aamulehti said the Swede was transferred to Vantaa district court for custody on Tuesday, on suspicion of aggravated facilitation of illegal entry, said Xinhua.

Binyamin Appelbaum Joins the Editorial Board
Binyamin Appelbaum, a reporter in Washington who has covered the economy for nine years, will be the board's lead writer on business and economics. Read more in this note from editorial page editor James Bennet, deputy editorial page editor Katie Kingsbury and op-ed editor Jim Dao.
After nine years of deciphering and describing the economy's tumult in the newsroom, Binyamin Appelbaum will tell us what he really thinks as he joins the Times editorial board as lead writer on business and economics.
At The Charlotte Observer, Binya led investigations into predatory lending and the rise of foreclosures that won a Polk, a Loeb and a finalist spot for the Pulitzer Prize for public service in 2008.
The next year — the week the government seized Fannie and Freddie — he joined The Washington Post to cover financial regulation. A few months later his editors sent his wife a box of chocolates to apologize for his not having been home in a while.
Covering the Federal Reserve and economics from the Washington bureau since 2010, Binya has explained the struggles of male workers, the paradox of big-government foes collecting benefits and why a princess' magic wand costs 28 bucks. His first book, "The Economists' Hour," will be published by Little Brown in September.
"Binya has managed to translate his deep expertise of sometimes arcane and dense economic issues into understandable prose that helped elucidate and educate readers of The Times," his current editor, Deborah Solomon, said. "He also easily transitioned from the wonky Fed world to the real world, taking his reporting skills to soybean country and Icelandic smelters to help readers understand how America's economic policies, particularly under President Trump, were impacting workers, farmers, companies and economic growth. From covering Trump's fight with Powell to uncovering the mystery behind Arthur Laffer's famous napkin, Binya has been a true asset to the news side of The Times. Our loss is the Opinion page's gain."
Binya's return to opinion writing will end a two-decade hiatus since he ran the editorial page at The Daily Pennsylvanian.
He will stay in Washington with his wife and children but will come to see us in the New York office in early March. We hope you will join us in welcoming him to Opinion then.
— James, Katie and Jim

This article by Ayiti Kale Je appeared in Hait Grassroots Watch.
Despite two decrees making their import and usage illegal, styrofoam cups and plates are used and littered all over the capital, as well as bought and sold, wholesale and retail, completely out in the open.
The first decree, dated August 9, 2012, went into effect on October 1, 2012, as part of a decree that also outlawed "black plastic bags," used by street vendors (called "ti machann" or "little merchants") as well as in greenhouses all over the country.
The Environment Minister at that time, Ronald Toussaint, did not sign the 2012 decree, which was announced and lauded by various media and environmental websites as a big step forward for Haiti.
In spite of the obvious failure of the 2012 decree, the government of President Michel Martelly and Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe recently adopted a new one, dated July 10, 2013 and written in much the same language.
There is an "interdiction on producing, importing, commercializing, and using, in any form whatsoever, plastic bags and objects made of styrofoam for food purposes, such as trays, bottles, bags, cups, and plates," according to the July 10 issue of the government's official journal of record, Le Moniteur.
"As soon as this decree becomes applicable, beginning on August 1, 2013, all arriving packages that contain these objects will be confiscated by customs authorities and the owners will be sanctioned according to customs regulations," the decree reads.
In addition to being a bit demagogic in nature – given that the first decree was completely ignored – the new decree has also angered the Dominican Republic's industries, Haiti's principal suppliers of styrofoam plates and cups for take-out food.
If the last ten months are any indication, there is little reason to think the new decree will bring about any change. The streets of the capital region are awash in styrofoam. Any passerby, police officer, or state official can see bright white products, as well as the illegal black plastic bags, being used and discarded everywhere.
Plastic trash can be catastrophic for the environment. In addition to clogging drains and causing flooding, rivers and then sea currents carry the trash all over the world.
Because Haiti has not worked out a way to deal with styrofoam and plastic trash, some people solve the problem themselves via incineration. Speaking to AlterPresse in 2003, the head of environmental group Fédération des Amis de la Nature (Federation of Friends of Nature) spoke about plastic's toxicity.
In spite of its dangers, and in spite of the two decrees, styrofoam products are everywhere.
An investigation by HGW in downtown Port-au-Prince and in Pétion-ville in May and June 2013 found that almost all of the street-food vendors were using the illegal products. Downtown, on four streets studies, 28 of 28 vendors – 100 percent – used styrofoam dishes and cups. In six streets of Pétion-ville, journalists tallied 20 of 26 vendors – 77 percent – using the illegal products. A visit last week, after the new decree went into effect, revealed that nothing had changed.
Two very popular Pétion-ville restaurants, Contigo Bar Resto Club et Mac Epi, were also using styrofoam products, both before and after August 1.
Asked via email why the chain has been using the products, which have been illegal for over ten months, Attié responded that his outlets had replaced the cups but not the "clamshells." However, HGW observed styrofoam cups in use at Epi d'Or's Pétion-ville outlet on August 9, the day of Mr. Attié's message.
It is not difficult to buy styrofoam products wholesale. Of 11 food and general supply stores or stands visited in June and July, ten openly sold the illegal products. On August 5, five days after the new decree made the "trays, bottles, bags, cups, and plates" illegal for a second time, these products were for sale almost everywhere they had been earlier in the summer.
Speaking in June, one businessman told HGW that nobody really paid attention to the first degree.
A businesswoman supervising a team unloading merchandise from a truck at her Rue Rigaud store told HGW, as did at least two other businesspeople, that she bought her styrofoam products at SHODECOSA, one of the city's industrial parks housing assembly industries which receives regular deliveries from the Dominican Republic in big container trucks.
SHODECOSA (Superior Housing Development Corporation S.A.) is the country's biggest private industrial part. It belongs to the WIN Group, the conglomerate owned by the Mevs family, which also has interests in maritime transport, assembly industries, and ethanol. WIN also runs the country's largest private port, TEVASA, in the Varreux area of Cité Soleil.
"Ever since Lamothe became prime minister, I stopped going to the Haitian-Dominican border because only the bourgeois have the containers that are authorized to cross the border with merchandise," the businesswoman claimed.
A Rue Geffard businessman said he buys a "packet" of 200 styrofoam plates for 575 gourdes (US$ 13.37) and resells it for 650 gourdes ($US 15.12).
Another wholesaler on Rue Rigaud said he buys at SHODECOSA and also buys them by the container at the border towns Elias Pinas and Malpasse.
HGW did not speak with WIN Group about the allegations. However, the fact that various Pétion-Ville store told matching stories about where they got their products indicates that during the ten months of the first decree, and perhaps still, styrofoam plates, cups, and other items were for sale somewhere inside the park.
The new decree banning plastic and styrofoam products angered many businesspeople and associations in the Dominican Republic. It came just a few weeks after the Haitian government announced a ban on certain Dominican products on Jun. 6, 2013, supposedly in order to protect Haitians from avian flu (H5N1).
Dominican authorities maintained that their country had no cases of H5N1, only influenza A (H1N1). Dominican chickens and eggs were blocked for over a month but now appear to be crossing the border without problem. Much of the chicken and most of the eggs consumed in Haiti come from her neighbor. [See HGW Dossier 24].
Immediately after the anti-plastic and anti-styrofoam decree, the Asociación de Industrias de la República Dominicana (AIRD or Dominican Republic Industries Association) called on Dominican authorities to defend the national interest. The government statistics agency puts the value of plastics exported to Haiti at US$67.3 million per year, according to Listin Diario.
"We believe the steps taken by Haiti are not those normally taken by two countries that have a trade relationship, and that such acts should be founded on internationally solid and acceptable reasons," said AIRD president Ligia Bonetti.
Many other Dominican business associations have also denounced the decree.
Quoted in Listin Diario, Sandy Filpo, head of the Asociación de Comerciantes e Industriales de Santiago (Association of Santiago Businesses and Industries) noted that Dominican products are made to international norms.
The Association of Dominican Exporters says Dominican plastic products are exported to over 70 countries.
A Plastic Decree vs. a Rigid Policy?
To date, no "steps" have been announced.
To date, no confiscation or arrests appear to have been carried out, except to seize the merchandise of wholesalers in the poor neighborhood of Marché Salomon. Restaurants like Epi d'Or and street sellers are still using styrofoam cups and plates that will eventually end up in ravines and canals.
Another law makes tree-cutting illegal, but piles of planks cut from Haitian trees are for sale on city streets all over Haiti. Just like that law, the new anti-plastics decree appears destined to be ignored.
The Martelly government baptized 2013 the "year of the environment." But Haiti, according to another government slogan, is also "open for business," which generally means, low or no tariffs, and open borders, at least for merchandise.


This Autumn, Katy Griffiths, former Director of the Corn Exchange Newbury, and Deborah Sawyerr, former Executive Director for Theatre Royal Stratford East, will jointly take on the role of Deputy Executive Director at the Mercury Theatre.
Both working parents, Katy and Deborah will divide the responsibilities of the role at this pivotal time in the Mercury's journey as the theatre prepares for a major capital redevelopment, Mercury Rising.
The Mercury Theatre is a strategic partner with PIPA, the Parents In Performing Arts campaign, which strives to empower parents, carers and employers to achieve sustainable change in attitudes and practices in order to attract, support and retain a more diverse and flexible workforce.
"Innovating around working practices is key to future proofing business resilience in the theatre sector. By including the PIPA family friendly working statement on their recruitment material, the Mercury Theatre have been able to attract two outstanding candidates, who may not otherwise have put themselves forward for the job due to caring responsibilities.
Katy and Deborah join the Mercury in September 2018.

Q: Missing SimpleXML Parsing <?php
// load SimpleXML
$entry = new SimpleXMLElement('http://bit.ly/c3IqMF', null, true);

echo <<<EOF

                Title
                Image

EOF;
foreach($entry as $item) //
{
        echo <<<EOF

                {$item->title}
                children('im', true)->image}">

EOF;
}
echo '
';
?>

The above php works but somehow, I got 8 empty table entities above the result

What's wrong with the code? How do I get rid of the empty table entities?

A: The way you have it now it gets the <id>, <title>, <updated> from the the start of the xml. Actually you needed all the entry entries in the xml. So it should be $entry->entry
foreach($entry->entry as $item) //
{
        echo <<<EOF

                {$item->title}
                children('im', true)->image}">

EOF;
}

A: Honestly, I think you are approaching this the wrong way. Since it seems that you are trying to parse an Atom feed, try using something designed for that, like Magpie RSS. It will probably save you a lot of time.
