Updating Chrome Extensions is a very easy task, but because of how Google Chrome worded a few settings and buttons, it may be overlooked. Just to note, Chrome automatically updates Chrome Extensions every few Chrome Restarts. It doesn't check for updates every time, so if you are noticing issues with an extension I suggest trying to see if they have an update.
On the top right of the Extensions Page, you will see a toggle checkbox for "Delevelper Mode". Now, this does contain developer tools, but also will display the update button for Extensions.
Now that is all you have to do to force an update of extensions. You won't get a notification or any alert when extensions are updated, but you can be assured if an extension has an update you will have it. You may have to reload your browser or close out / reload tabs that the extension works on. For instance, if you have a YouTube extension, you should reload all the YouTube pages for the extension to be using the updated version.

The History of Writing and Reading – Part 6: Japanese Writing
[Editor's note: This is the seventh of an ongoing series that examines the rise of writing – and therefore reading – around the world. We will be looking at the major developments and forces that shaped the written languages we use today. Links to all the previous posts are listed at the end of this one.]
The Japanese writing system, which migrated from China to Japan during the 5th century CE, is notable for its interesting history. It is a complex logosyllabic system, featuring a combination of Chinese logograms, two Chinese-derived syllabaries, and Japanese innovations to meet the language's own unique needs. The first Japanese texts were written in Chinese characters (kanji), using a system called kanbun (which simply means "Chinese Writing"). This was not tremendously successful, as Japanese grammatical syntax differs considerably from that of the Chinese. The Japanese solved this problem by keeping the Chinese characters but using their own grammar instead. [1]
Another problem that occurred in the transition was that, as we saw in last week's post, Chinese is an isolating language (i.e. nouns and verbs don't change structure – the words around them indicate the needed change of structure and meaning); this led to a writing system where each individual sign represented a morpheme. The Japanese language, on the other hand, has inflected verbs and postpositions; these require the addition of suffixes and particles to words and clauses. To represent these extra grammatical units, Japanese scribes used specific Chinese characters that indicated sound values. This system was ambiguous – it was difficult to tell whether a character should be interpreted as a logogram or as a phonetic sign, and the difficulty led to a change in how the syllabograms were graphically indicated. The Japanese took the Chinese characters used to indicate sounds and visually simplified them, making them distinct from the Chinese characters used as logograms.
The Japanese syllabic grapheme is referred to as a kana. There are two sets of kanas: hiragana, and katakana.
Hiragana came into use in the 8th century CE, where the Chinese characters were used only for their phonetic values. This system was known as the manyogana, taken from the name of the anthological work "Manyoshu." Eventually, the original signs were reduced in number and simplified into sogana, finally arriving at the hiragana form. At first, literate men scorned the hiragana since Chinese was considered the "cultured" language. Women, on the other hand, were not allowed to learn the Chinese characters and so they relied on the hiragana. "The Tale of Genji," the world's first novel, was written by Lady Murasaki Shikibu in hiragana. After time, the gender-based segregation of literacy dissolved, and hiragana became an accepted literary script. Today, hiragana is used to write native Japanese words.
The following is the hiragana syllabary:
The second Japanese syllabary is called katakana, and it was originally used as a pronunciation aid for Chinese Buddhist scriptures. However, over time it became a way to write grammatical suffixes and particles, while kanji remained the root of the word. Today, katakana is often used to write non-Chinese loan words.
Katakana syllabary
Some special syllabograms in both hiragana and katakana reflect Japanese allophones, which are different physical sounds perceived as the same sound by native speakers. Typically the position of a kana in the grid (such as the one above) determines its pronunciation, but these special signs are pronounced differently. For instance, the hiragana sign し is located in the s column and i row, which means it should have the phonetic value of /si/. But instead it is pronounced as /ši/ (like the English she). As a result, /s/ and /š/ before the vowel /i/ are allophones and are perceived as the same consonant.
Japanese allophones
In addition to the kanas, modern Japanese writing contains about a thousand Chinese characters, or kanji, used to write words that are either native Japanese or Chinese loans. Often times, Japanese names (personal, geographical, etc.) are written completely in kanji, and some words (both Japanese and Chinese loans) would be written as kanji as well.
If you look a Japanese newspaper, you'll probably see representations of all three of these writing systems.

Liverpool dream pop from new Domino Records signings The Catchers.
It's been a good week for Liverpool's new crop; Loved Ones dropped a wee corker, Married to the Sea returned with a dancefloor shaker, By The Sea scooped top spot on NME's radar and now this little gem arrives.
The Catchers are the vehicle for Peter Jackson's piano-led lullabies and they follow neatly in the vein of Liverpool's rich history of snappy, beat-pop.
Blending The Head brothers' rough round the edges melodicism with Brian Wilson's whimsical way round the ivories, The Catchers (also featuring Chris Gleaves on guitar) have been hastily snapped up by Domino Records with a full album expected later this year.
They've been working with Richard Formby at Eve Studios with Bill Ryder-Jones also helping out on production duties and some of the fruits are hosted over on their site.
Take a listen to these two crackers, It Gets Me Through and If I Fell.
Get Me Through also features a piano refrain which reminds me of Bugsy Malone's If You Give A Little Love – always a good thing.
There's also a lovely little snapshot of Peter at work in Elevator Studios from his twitter here.

Reporter for Automotive News Canada
Ontario is stepping up auto industry recruitment as GM's Oshawa plant is to end production by year end.
TORONTO — Early Wednesday, the odds of vehicle assembly ever returning to the birthplace of the Canadian auto industry seemed to be slim-to-none.
But today, it's not too difficult to see production resuming in Oshawa, Ont., several years down the line.
GM on Wednesday said it would invest $170 million in the Oshawa plant to build aftermarket parts, as well as to do stamping work for CAMI Assembly in Ingersoll, Ont., and possibly for suppliers. A test track will also be built on the site.
Most importantly, the plant will be maintained. Instead of sitting idle, assets such as Oshawa's valuable paint shop will be maintained, "infinitely" raising the potential that Oshawa could eventually be selected for new production mandates, as Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, told me.
Keeping the plant operational would make it cheaper for GM to eventually bring production back. And it's possible such a move would cost GM very little.
Its Spring Hill, Tenn., plant, for example was idled in 2009 amid the automaker's bankruptcy, but was brought back to life in 2011. How much did it cost GM to bring back the plant? Just US$61 million, chump change for the automaker. And that's despite building a model that the factory never assembled before.
As my colleague Lindsay Chappell noted back then, that's in large part because GM spent $700 million on the plant in 2006 so that it could more flexibly change what models it built.
As it just so happens, GM completed a $500-million investment in Oshawa in 2018 that made it capable of building both cars and light trucks.
To be clear, there are no obvious production mandates for Oshawa in the foreseeable future. Unlike Spring Hill in 2011, when GM was emerging from bankruptcy in a growing new-vehicle market, the automaker has plans to cut back on its model lineup amid declining sales and low car demand.
But should GM eventually need to add North American capacity, Oshawa could be a prime location to do so.
That's cold comfort for the thousands of workers who will be out of work by year's end. But Oshawa's future is much brighter today than virtually anyone would've thought back in November.

Home Features Former US President Obama to Visit his Ancestral Village in Kenya
By HENRY OWINO | The AfricaPaper
Nairobi, Kenya – Former United States President Barack Obama is set to visit Kenya this month during which he's expected to travel to his ancestral village of K'Ogelo, Siaya County northwest of Nairobi. His visit is a stop-over while enroute to South Africa where he is invited as special guest at the sixteenth Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture in Johannesburg.
Mr. Obama is expected to jet into the country 16 July 2018 via Nairobi, after which he would hold talks with President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader, Raila Odinga at the State House in Nairobi. According officials, after meeting with both leaders, Obama would then travel to his native village of K'Ogelo to meet with his relatives.

Obama is also expected to hold discussions with leaders of smaller opposition groups in Kenya during his one day trip to the East African nation. This trip would be the fifth by the Kenyan-American born Obama to his ancestral home prior to, and during his tenure as US President.The visit is also in fulfilment to his earlier promise few years ago that he would go back to visit his traditional home.
During a visit to Kenya in July 2015, then US President Obama had promised that he would come back another time to visit but as a private citizen, a time when his itinerary and trapping of power would be relaxed.
"The Secret Service does not like me climbing mountains but as a private citizen hopefully, I can get away with something like that," he told Kenyans at the time.
"I know that there are still places in this beautiful nation that I have not discovered. I am going to make sure that I get back.Climbing Kilimanjaro seems like something that should be on my list of things to do once I get out of here," he said.
Speaking further, Obama maintained: "I will be back to Kenya next time, maybe not in a suit. I would also come with my daughters; Malia and Sasha. My family loves Kenya."

Meanwhile, Kenyans in general are excited about Obama's visit and some are eagerly waiting to see this 44th US President dine with relatives in his village of K'Ogelo.
"Mr Obama always remembers his ancestral roots and that is why he is blessed. We want to sing for him, dance with him for the world to know he is our son. In America, he went to seek for greener pasture which he got more than enough as a result of his respect to ancestral family," John Odongo, a clan elder told The AfricaPaper.
In K'Ogelo Village itself, news of Mr. Obama's visit has turned the entire atmosphere into one of a festive mood with both the young and the old preparing ahead to receive their beloved son. One whose perseverance at challenging the status quo altered the course of American history.
The event will perhaps allow hundreds of people including elders of the region to meet, greet and have handshake with the former US president amid traditional celebration that befits a king – all this time, the villagers, elders, men and women, and youth groups are expected to shower Obama with gifts as African tradition demands.

While in K'Ogelo, Obama will launch the "Sauti Kuu" Foundation, an initiative of youth development project for the county. The project is the brainchild of Dr. Auma Obama, (President Obama's sister), and is aimed at empowering local youths. Sauti Kuu is a Swahili word which is loosely translated to mean "Loud Voice."
Born and raised in Kenya, Dr. Auma studied in Germany, obtaining a Masters degree at the University of Heidelberg. She completed her doctorate studies at the University of Bayreuth and also graduated from the Berlin Film and Television Academy.
A key component of Auma's work abroad included using sports to effect social change – an idea she took home that gave birth to Sports for Social Change Network. Her network has united grassroot organizations in East Africa and beyond such as Bangladesh with motive to use sports as tool for social change particularly for women.
Reportedly, the project has succeeded in empowering village girls in the K'Ogelo region through vocational trainings thereby helping the girls to increase their self-esteem as well as building their self confidence.
Mandela Lecture
While in South Africa, Mr. Obama is expected to make a presentation on this year's lecture theme titled: Renewing the Mandela Legacy and Promoting Active Citizenship in a Changing World. The lecture begins July 17, 2018, through the Nelson Mandela International Day which takes place at Ellis Park Arena, Johannesburg.
"For most of his life, Nelson Mandela fought for democracy and equality. His presidency was defined by his efforts to solidify the fragile democracy of South Africa, and by his lessons on the politics of 'bridge-building' over the politics of division," said a joint statement by the Community Development Foundation Western Cape, and the West Coast Community Foundation.

The Obama Foundation plans to invite 200 young people to Johannesburg around the same time in mid-July for five days of workshops and technical training. According to The AfricaPaper sources, Mr. Obama will speak at an event slated to mark the 100th birthday of late South African president and civil rights icon, Nelson Mandela, who died at age 95 in 2013.
"It gives him an opportunity to lift up a message of tolerance, inclusivity, and democracy at a time when there are obviously challenges to Mandela's legacy around the world," Benjamin Rhodes, former Obama speechwriter.
This will be the fifth visit Mr. Obama will be making to Kenya; the first being in 1987, later in 1992, 2006, and in 2015 when he was serving his second term as US president.

Note that I am using same preview card in both methods.
this is an image of search list that I get

this is the card that I get when selecting an item

and this is what I get when I click the cross in red box(in the above image)

it's same when there are text also

A: In search bar, there should be some text, then only it will display the some results. If the data is dynamic, then it will display a huge results along with scroll. If you click on close button then it will show "we didn't find any matches" and it is by design. If it is a static data , even if we click on close button results will also be displayed. please check this sample

Eric Bordelet already produces some of Normandy's most sought out cider, and though he is now distilling his own product, it is not quite ready for release. He has selected this barrel from his neighbor, Henri Bernard Beudin, who holds to the strictest values. No water was added to the used Chenin Blanc wine barrels at any point of the spirit's life, and the resulting Calvados was bottled unfiltered and without any additives. Even the fairly common use of cleaning the barrels with sulfur dioxide was eschewed and distillation took place on an old-fashioned, single-run, column-still. Only 744 half bottles produced!
"The best Calvados retain an apple fruit quality in a way that the best Armagnac and Cognac do not reflect with grape. The aromatics here soar with a pure orchard fruit that shifts back and forth from luscious, candied, apple preserves and more savory autumn flavors of wood smoke. The 53% alcohol never betrays itself and the spirit is surprisingly drinkable for its strength and concentration. In a similar trick, the 18 years in wood have left only the slightest hint of oak tannin and seems to have focused and enhanced the fruit instead of obscuring it with vanilla. Highest recommendation, best in class. "


Holy ♥♥♥♥ this is beyond unwatchable.

Thanks for introducing us to Camilla Tania. The two poems are beautiful and full of love, wisdom, and grace. The first poem could be a meditation on breathing into oneness with life. It's interesting that Camilla's process is the same as mine, looking through photos until one calls me, then I write.
aww…i felt so much of that same swelling in my heart when writing it and now reading your words…tears of love and joy! i so agree…it feels very close! love you dearly and wishing you the most amazing new year ever ❤ !!
You are most welcome Camilla. I look forward to reading more of your delightful poems and heartfelt wisdom. Happy New Year!
Wonderful new years' intentions! Thanks Camilla.


Credit unions hunt for top talent.
The term "war for talent" was coined by a McKinsey & Company consulting team who documented and described the "increasingly competitive landscape for recruiting and retaining talented employees." The original study was sparked by the go-go 1990s and the associated new economy. The McKinsey consulting team then published a book on the same topic in 2001 after the dot-com bust predicting "because of enduring economic and social forces, the war for talent will persist for the next two decades." Now we are in the midst of that second decade and the war is still raging, especially for credit unions. Until the robots take all of our jobs, one can predict the war to continue well into the 21st century, especially for knowledge/specialty industries like consumer finance.

Q: urllib2.urlopen raises HTTP Error 400: Bad Request I'm trying to download a pdf using urllib2. The problem is that it raises urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request.
I suppose that the problem is probably in form of url. I've tried to apply urllib2.quote method but it did not helped.
URL: http://www.epi.sk/Main/Download.aspx?fn=\OV\15\OV2015072a$ce10308b-264c-400a-81ad-e643c08a7364.pdf&ofn=15\OV2015072a.pdf
def download_file(download_url,name):
    response = urllib2.urlopen(download_url)
    with open(name, 'wb') as file:
        file.write(response.read())

download_file('http://www.epi.sk/Main/Download.aspx?fn=\OV\15\OV2015072a$ce10308b-264c-400a-81ad-e643c08a7364.pdf&ofn=15\OV2015072a.pdf','files.pdf')

Do you know where the problem could be?

A: One of your backslashes is causing a portion of your string to be interpreted as an escape sequence:
'http://www.epi.sk/Main/Download.aspx?fn=\OV\15\OV2015072a$ce10308b-264c-400a-81ad-e643c08a7364.pdf&ofn=15\OV2015072a.pdf'
                                            ^^^

\15 is interpreted an escape sequence for a carriage return:
>>> '\15'
'\r'

Make the string a raw string by prefixing it with r and Python won't interpret these escape sequences:
>>> r'\15'
'\\15'


The Salar de Uyuni is undoubtedly the highlight of Bolivia. The salt plains are immense and provides a scenery which can not be seen in many other places. The nearby national park shows some amazing landscapes of colorful lakes and massive volcano's. The whole area is best seen on a tour by 4x4 jeep because there are no roads. To see the most of it, the three day tour is recommended which takes you to all the best places. There are also shorter tours which last for one or two days. The most common start place for the tours is Uyuni. Unfortunately some of the tour operator do not provide high standards, but you will need to be a bit lucky when booking the tour. Below is described what can be seen on each day.
Day 1: Train graveyard, salt plains, and Isla Incahuasi.
The first stop is the train graveyard. For the photographer, this is the place to be as the rusty trains allow for some nice pictures. Driving a bit further and you will arrive at the salt plains. Often there is a stop first at a village which relies on salt mining, but is not that interesting. However, once you get to the salt plains some amazing scenery can be seen. At places where the salt is mined, piles of salt which are drying in the sun can be seen. If there is water of the salt plains, it will reflect the blue sky. Do bring sunscreen and sunglasses as the sun is very intense. After that stop, the tour will continue to the salt hotel which is not closes. It is possible to see the salt depositions on the hotel. After driving many more miles Isla Incahuasi pops up. This is a island in the desert which has many large cacti growing on it. There is a track around the island to see more scenery and also to view the expansive views of the Salar de Uyuni from a higher point. Because of the white (salt) soil perception of depth is different and allows for some funny picture taking.
Day 2: Volcano Ollague, national reserve park Eduardo Avaroa, Laguna Canapa, Laguna Hedionda, desert of Siloli, rock tree formation and Laguna Colorado.
The second day starts with a view of the volcano Ollague. It is not a closeup view, but there is some attractive scenery that surround it. After a short stop there is a drive onwards to the national reserve park Eduardo Avaroa. This is another highlight as it has many lakes and volcano's. The first stop would be Laguna Canapa which is a bright blue colored. The next lake Laguna Hedionda is probably the most beautiful of all. It is large and surrounded by mountains, some of which have a white snow-cap on top. There are quite a few flamingo's in the lake which appear to be undisturbed by anything. Most tours allow a walk around a large part of the lake to get some different views of the scenery. After lunch the tour will continue to the desert of Siloli which has some awkward rock formations. The most famous of these is the rock tree formation which stands out compared to the others. The final stop is the Laguna Colorade, which is a red colored lake. The colors of the lake and the surrounding mountains and other scenery are bright and often give the impression of walking around an oil painted landscape.
Day 3: Geyser at Sol de Manana, Laguna Challviri, Laguna Verde and the volcano Lincacabur.
The last day of the tour starts with a visit to the Geyser at Sol de Manana. Basically you get to see hot gas coming out of the earth. Some parts look like a whole plaque of earth is spitting out gas. To allow a bit of relaxing a stop is made at Laguna Challviri. This lake does not look as amazing as the other lakes, but does has a hot spring in which you can relax. The last important stop is the Laguna Verde. This lake is brightly light blue colored and is overlooked by the volcano Lincacabur. After a short stop the tour just drives back to Uyuni while stopping only a few ties along the way.

Pacquiao is now involved in cryptocurrency and has been enlisted as GCOX's celebrity ambassador.
Last March 7, 2018, as stated in a press release, a virtual currency startup based in Singapore Global Crypto Offering Exchange (GCOX) announced boxing champion and Philippine Senator Manny Pacquiao as its celebrity ambassador. With GCOX's cryptocurrency services which will include the creation of a virtual token dedicated for the boxer-turned-senator called PAC Coin, he will be able to connect better with his fans.
This involvement of Pacquiao in the said startup and as GCOX's first celebrity ambassador was confirmed by a member of his team.
It was known that GCOX's aim, being the world's first global celebrity cryptocurrency exchange", is to convert the popularity of celebrities in the form of currency through the creation of celebrity tokens. And then use these personalised virtual tokens to purchase the merchandise of a celebrity, stream video content just like of pay-per-view TV, and donate to selected charities of a celebrity through GCOX's platforms.
Aside from Pacquiao, the startup has already attracted private investors.

Wolfenstein 3D (в оригинал Wolfenstein 3-D) е видеоигра, за която се смята, че е направила популярен жанра екшън от първо лице при персоналните компютри. Разработена е от id Software, а издадена от Apogee Software на 5 май 1992 г. Работи под DOS. Цялата игра, с всички нива, в компресиран вид се събира на една 1,44 Mb дискета. Пригодена е за голямо разнообразие от платформи: 3D0, Super NES, Game Boy Advance, Acorn Archimedes, Atari Jaguar и Apple IIGS.

Преглед
В Wolfenstein 3D, играчът е американски войник (полски произход) на име Уилям "B.J." Бласковиц, опитващ се да избяга от едноименната нацистка крепост; има много въоръжени пазачи, както и бойни кучета. Сградата има множество тайни помощения, в които могат да се намерят съкровища, храна, аптечки, три вида оръжия и боеприпаси.

Wolfenstein 3D е пусната в продажба като shareware, което позволяваше да бъде копирана многократно. Shareware изданието е един епизод с десет мисии (нива). Търговкото издание се състои от три епизода, влкючващо този от Shareware. Има допълнителен пакет с мисии наречен "The Nocturnal Missions" ("Нощните мисии"), който също се състои от три епизода. Както shareware епизода, всеки епизод от търговското издание и "Нощните мисии" се състои от десет нива, правейки играта 60 мисии.

Епизодите са:

Оригинална трилогия

 1. "Escape from Wolfenstein" (shareware епизод)
 2. "Operation: Eisenfaust"
 3. "Die, Führer, Die"

The Nocturnal Missions

 4. "A Dark Secret"
 5. "Trail of the Madman"
 6. "Confrontation"

Играта е била първо издадена за PC, а по-късно портната за Macintosh компютри, Apple IIGS, Acorn Archimedes, Super NES, Atari Jaguar, Game Boy Advance и 3DO. Source code на играта е бил публикуван от id Software на July 21, 1995, започвайки традицията на id Software да предоставят source code на стари игри.

Q: Securing Web API for mobile devices We have an API for our local search website, which is used on our Mobile Apps.
Currently,

*

*The API is not public

*No user data is provided in the API

*is running over http

I want to secure our data which is sent over the API. I have done some research, and looks like Oauth is the way to go

*

*Is Oauth the right way to do it? (we'll currently use 2 legged oauth but in future if we need user permission we'll move to 3 legged oauth)

*Do we need https for the API? Would a self signed certificate work fine?

A: Oauth's best suited for scenarios that involve a third party (Provider). For example: sign in with Facebook.
If the user has to login to your service to access the API, you can use basic authentication. (Attach credentials to Http header over Https)
Finally: Yes you need Https. And a self-signed certificate can work if you control the client and the server. For example for Android you can import your certificates):
http://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-ssl.html (Self-signed server certificate section)
However, if you are creating a web client, user would get a warning for untrusted site.

Cooking with Whiskey
December 17, 2016 by Australian Women Online
Stock photo: fotolia.com
It may sound a little like a foreign concept – and perhaps even a bit controversial – but using whiskey in cooking is a great way to boost the flavour profiles in a wide range of dishes.
We're all used to sloshing a bit of wine in with a stew or bolognese, so why should this be any different? Indeed, experts say that whiskey is an excellent flavour enhancer, bringing out the flavor of the sea in seafood, the smokiness of smoked food, and the sweetness in a dessert.
Rachel Barrie, master blender for Bowmore Distilleries, told The Guardian:
"whiskey has an incredibly diverse flavour spectrum, much more so than wine. The flavours of a single malt Scotch whiskey, for example, are derived from malted barley fermentation, the distillation process and maturation in oak casks over several years, which makes it ideal to boost a wide variety of flavours in foods."
Whiskey, as we know, has a huge variety of types and flavours. So which kind of whiskey is best for which kind of food?
Bourbon whiskey such as the infamous Jack Daniels is a type of American barrel-aged whiskey, made primarily from corn, characterised by its strong smoky, sweet flavour.
It's similar to brandy in its flavour profile, so can be used in its place for a variety of recipes where brandy is usually used, such as in custards, creams and brandy sauce.
Hailing from the southern states of the US, Bourbon is also a mainstay of American "barbeque" food. Its high sugar content means it's perfect for making a barbeque glaze to be lovingly smeared over slow cooked treats like beef brisket or baby back ribs.
Scotch is a whiskey made in Scotland traditionally from malted barley, but increasingly from wheat and rye also. The flavours of this whiskey are very diverse, giving room for use with a variety of foods.
A blended scotch like Johnnie Walker Blue Label has a dark, orangey zest that brings out the deep, bittersweet flavours of dark chocolate – making it perfect for balancing out the sweetness is any chocolate-based dessert.
Meanwhile, a more delicate and floral single malt such as Auchentoshan Classic enhances the herbal notes in savoury sauces such as creamy tarragon sauce or beef bourguignon. Be aware though that some single malt Scotch is extremely expensive, so it might be best to save it for a "wee dram" rather than adding it to your cooking!
Irish whiskey – named (you guessed it) because it's made in Ireland – is smoother and more subtle in flavour than other types, as it's usually distilled three times, making it incredibly pure.
Possibly the most famous Irish whiskey is Jameson – light, floral and triple distilled, it has nutty and vanilla notes with hints of sweet sherry and exceptional smoothness. This makes it an excellent addition to more delicate fruit desserts such as summer berry trifle.
It also mixes deliciously with cream. We're all familiar with Bailey's, the traditional Irish cream drink – well, why not have a go at making your own from scratch?

Family Tree of the Kings and Queens of Númenor.
A Númenórean King was monarch, with the power of unquestioned decision in debate; but he governed the realm with the frame of ancient law, of which he was administrator (and interpreter) but not the maker. In all debatable matters of importance domestic, or external, however, even Denethor [Steward of Gondor] had a Council, and at least listened to what the Lords of the Fiefs and the Captains of the Forces had to say.
Elros was the first King of Númenor, and was afterwards known by the High-elven name Tar-Minyatur. His descendants were long-lived but mortal.
These are the names of the Kings and Queens of Númenor: Elros Tar-Minyatur, Vardamir, Tar-Amandil, Tar-Elendil, Tar-Meneldur, Tar-Aldarion, Tar-Ancalimë (the first Ruling Queen), Tar-Anárion, Tar-Súrion, Tar-Telperien (the second Queen), Tar-Minastir, Tar-Ciryatan, Tar-Atanamir the Great, Tar-Ancalimon, TarTelemmaitë, Tar-Vanimeldë (the third Queen), Tar-Alcarin, Tar-Calmacil.
After Calmacil the Kings took the sceptre in names of the Númenórean (or Adûnaic) tongue: Ar-Adûnakhôr, Ar-Zimrathôn, Ar-Sakalthôr, Ar-Gimilzôr, Ar-Inziladûn. Inziladûn repented of the ways of the Kings and changed his name to Tar-Palantir 'The Farsighted'. His daughter should have been the fourth Queen, Tar-Míriel, but the King's nephew usurped the sceptre and became Ar-Pharazôn the Golden, last King of the Númenóreans.


This sequel to Close Encounters of The Spooky Kind is almost the original's equal. Portly kicker Samo Hung stars as Po, a young man who hopes for success in his new restaurant venture so that he can give his fiancée all she desires. The less-than-grand opening of his noodle bar is overshadowed by a rival restaurant just across the way and it is only in the early hours of the morning that Po's first customer arrives. He believes this first sale is the beginning of his success but it is the beginning of something very different, for his first client is a ghost woman named Hung. Hoi, Po's best friend asks Hung to help Po get rich and ward off Mr Sze - the lecherous and wealthy elder statesman of the town who has designs on Po's fiancée. This Eastern Heroes release is not up to their usual standard in that it isn't a widescreen format (minor quibble) and the fast-changing subtitles are often illegible. However, at least the subtitles that are readable are translated into something resembling English.
Beyond these presentation faults I have only praise for Spooky Encounters. It isn't one of the genre's greatest movies but is it an excellent example of the standard regularly reached by the ghost fantasy sub-genre within Hong Kong movie making. It begins within a suitably eerie vampire nightmare that is a portent of things to come, and there is plenty of amazing flying action along the way - can one never tire of watching such high wire antics - it seems not! A terrific score encompasses the range of emotions that these films often cover: romance, humour, drama and action. The humour, though much in evidence, doesn't detract from the truly horrible moments that commonly crop up in the genre. At the other end of the range, one hilarious scene has a midget zombie trying to bite Po's testicles and it is only Po's agility that keeps his manlihood out of the rotting creature's mouth! Not recommended for newcomers to the Hong Kong scene because the awful subtitles may put them off, but a worthy addition to more seasoned fans' collections.

Sharon & Lady the Painted Lady Butterfly
by blueflowers777
Rated: E · Short Story · Educational · #2198000
A short story about a little girl who loves butterflies.
Created: August 12th, 2019 at 8:01am
Paging: Previous Item · Next Item
Genres: Educational, Nature, Children's
Sharon (who's ten has short blond hair and blue eyes) loves butterflies too much. She has her parents garden filled with all kinds of flowers and wildflowers to attract them. She even has butterfly bushes that also further attract butterflies there. Monarch's and swallowtail's are the most common ones the garden attracts and monarch's are her favorite.
"Mommy look! There's a hummingbird!" said Sharon.
"That's not a hummingbird, that's a hummingbird hawk moth sweetheart," said Sherri Sharon's mom.
"Wow! I love it!" said Sharon while hopping around merrily inside the house looking outside at the hummingbird hawk moth.
The next day almost all of the flowers died. Sharon was really sad. She told her mom and her mom was surprised. The reason why was because it's fall. The butterflies also stopped coming around.
"Mom, I miss seeing the butterflies! When will they be back?" asked Sharon.
"You know, sometime during the spring time. We can see them again during that time," said Sherri.
"Yes I knew that, I just wanted them to be back sooner!" said Sharon sadly.
"That's alright they'll be back," said Sherri.
Winter passed and the spring flowers were bloomed. Some of the flowers in the garden were bloomed too. Sharon was over excited!
"Mom! The butterflies are back!" said Sharon.
"Maybe you should learn how to paint them," said Sherri.
"Paint them? Sure! I'd love to try doing that!" said Sharon excitedly.
Sherri bought and gave Sharon all kinds of canvases and paints to paint butterflies for the spring and summer time. Sharon was over excited! However, Sharon was having difficulty figuring out how to paint them. She was unhappy with what she was creating on the canvases.
"Mom, I can't do this very well," said Sharon disappointedly.
"That's alright, just keep trying, you'll get it eventually," said Sherri confidently.
Sharon kept trying to paint the butterflies but still thought that she wasn't doing good enough. She took a break from it and went outside to see the butterflies. To her surprise, she spotted one called a painted lady. She was happy to see it!
"Wow! My book says you're a painted lady! How neat! I love you!" said Sharon happily.
"Hello. What's your name?" said the painted lady.
"Wow! You can talk?" asked Sharon.
"Yes. You may call me Lady," said Lady the painted lady butterfly.
"I'm Sharon, it's nice to meet you!" said Sharon.
"I know that you're having difficulty trying to paint us. I can help you with that. Bring your canvas and paints out here and I'll show you," said Lady merrily.
"Alright, thanks!" said Sharon running in to gather her art supplies.
Lady kept showing Sharon how to paint the butterflies. She showed her how to properly hold the paint brush and how to use the different kinds of brushes. She also showed her how to mix the paints to make the colors that would work right for seeing the butterflies on the canvases. However, Sharon still had difficulty.
"I'm still having trouble doing this. I'm sorry lady!" said Sharon.
"Don't worry, it takes practice! Just keep practicing!" said Lady.
Sharon kept practicing. She still had difficulty. She practiced and practiced a lot! She finally gave up when it was lunch time. When she came back she kept practicing again. All of the sudden, she finally got it right in her opinion!
"Wow! I finally got it!" said Sharon.
"Yes! This looks wonderful!" said Lady.
"I'm going to show my mom!" said Sharon.
Sharon showed her painting of the painted lady and the monarch's to her mom. Sherri was very happy. Sherri told her to keep painting.
"Keep it up Sharon! This is wonderful! I want you to enter this into your school's art contest for the fall," said Sherri.
"I will!" said Sharon.
Sharon kept painting more and more paintings of the butterflies. She came up with better ones! Her best painting had all of her favorite butterflies in it which are monarch's, swallowtails and painted ladies. She entered it into her fall's art contest and won first place. Lady wasn't there the next summer but Sharon made more friends with other butterflies including the hummingbird hawk moth's. The butterflies and hummingbird hawk moth's kept loving her back, kept painting more and more butterfly paintings. She gave her paintings to her friends and other family members. She opened up a small stand on her front yard and all of the neighborhood girls bought one from her. Sharon lived happily ever after!

Casey Martin suit against PGA gets underway today
By Associated Press Feb 2, 1998, 12:00am MST
Share All sharing options for: Casey Martin suit against PGA gets underway today
Since he won a tournament on the Nike Tour while riding a cart, disabled golfer Casey Martin has been all over TV, become a part of Nike's "I Can" campaign and appeared at the U.S. Capitol with Bob Dole.
Monday he gets down to business in U.S. District Court.A federal magistrate begins hearing three or four days of testimony before deciding whether the Americans with Disabilities Act should force the PGA Tour to grant Martin the right to ride instead of walk in the professional golf tournaments it sponsors.
The PGA Tour lost a bid last week to have the case thrown out of court on grounds the disabilities act does not apply.
U.S. Magistrate Thomas Coffin ruled the PGA Tour is a commercial enterprise, not a private club that would be exempt from the act. He also found that golf courses used for tournaments by the PGA Tour are places of "public accommodation" under the act, even inside the ropes that exclude spectators.
Lawyer William Wiswall will lead off for Martin by calling expert witnesses to testify about his medical condition.
"Casey's condition is debilitating and prevents him from running or engaging in other aerobic exercise to increase his lung capacity and cardiovascular strength, and therefore he has less stamina and is more susceptible to fatigue than other golfers," Wiswall said.
Martin was born with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome. He does not have the vein that runs along the bone in his lower right leg. Instead, blood flows back to his heart through a jumble of veins near the surface. The condition makes it painful for him to walk and could ultimately lead to amputation.
"The purpose of the ADA is to have people bend the rules to accommodate the disabled. All we want is a little bend here, not a break," Wiswall said.
Martin himself will take the witness stand, Wiswall said. Other evidence will relate to the rules of golf and the way the PGA Tour runs tournaments.
"A secondary issue of all this is that image of a player that is attempted to be portrayed by the PGA Tour as that athlete walking down the fairway to victory on the 18th hole," Wiswall said. "They do not want what are known in England as `buggies' going down the fairway."
PGA Tour lawyer William Maledon's case focuses on the idea that walking is an essential part of tournament golf.
"It is something that is put into the rules of the competition intentionally to add to the competition the additional element of being able to prevail under conditions of fatigue and stress brought about by walking the course for four days straight," which can add up to 20 to 30 miles, Maledon said.

James Hawker (baptised 29 August 1836 – 7 August 1921) was an English poacher.

He was born in Daventry, Northamptonshire and began poaching as a teenager to gain extra income whilst working as an apprentice bootmaker. He joined the militia to acquire a gun and reached the rank of corporal, although he left Daventry after falling out with the head gamekeeper at Badby.

In 1893 he was elected to the Oadby school-board (sitting next to the "Leading Gentlemen" on whose lands he poached) and in 1894 was a member of the Oadby parish council. Hawker kept photographs of William Ewart Gladstone, Charles Bradlaugh, Augustine Birrell, Thomas Sayers, and Gladys Cooper in his diary. In 1921 he died of a heart attack at Stoughton Road, Oadby and was buried in Oadby cemetery.

In 1961 the Oxford University Press published his journal, written in 1904–1905, a "mixture of autobiography, poacher's handbook, and radical philosophy". A play of Hawker's life, The Poacher, was produced by the Emma Theatre Company in 1980 and written by Andrew Marley and Lloyd Johnston. After the first performance of the play, a collection was raised which paid for a headstone at Hawker's grave, bearing the motto: "I will Poach till I die".

How Safe Do Poles Feel?
A decided majority of the people surveyed consider Poland to be a safe country. However, after last year's slight fall in positive opinions, this year has seen another small drop in the percentage of those who find Poland safe. This applies only to the country as a whole, with assessments of safety in people's places of residence remaining stable. This slightly diminished feeling of safety on a national level is reflected in an increase in anxiety about crime, in particular anxiety about the threat to those the respondents hold dear. Since June last year, the number of people worried that they may become victims of crime has risen by five percentage points to 41%, and is the highest for five years. Correspondingly, the percentage of those who are unworried about this has dropped five points to 57%. Currently, in contrast to last year, over a half of Polish people are afraid that someone from their immediate family could become a victim of crime (53%, an increase of 8 points), while a smaller part (45%, a drop of 7 points) has no such worries. Interestingly, this rise in anxiety that they or their close family members may become victims of crime, is not corroborated by their actual experiences of the past year: none of the crimes people were asked about has become more widespread than in 2020.
In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 6 – 16 May 2021 inclusive on a sample of 1163 people (54.8% using the CAPI method, 30% CATI and 15.2% CAWI).
