Q: How to filter table rows based on a not displayed attribute into span I have a table where each row is an address. Each row has, as well, a zip code but it's hidden.
I need a textbox to filter the address rows that matches with the zip entered. The field to search is named as "zip".
Here's my table:
<asp:DataList
  id="list1"
  runat="server">
  <ItemTemplate>
     <cc1:SWCLabel
         runat="server"
         Text ='<%# Eval("address")%>'
         zip='<%# Eval("zip")%>'
          />
  </ItemTemplate>

Each table rows is rendered like this, note the zip attribute into the span:

      address mmomo

UPDATED DEMO:
Here's the demo: The zip textbox matches the zip entirely but I need that matches zips that contains or starts with the text entered:
http://jsfiddle.net/QFQ5k/83/

A: $.expr[':'].containsIgnoreCase = function (n, i, m) {
            return jQuery(n).text().toUpperCase().indexOf(m[3].toUpperCase()) >= 0;
        };

    var gridAddr = $("#t1");
        var filtroCP = $('#txtbox');
    $("#txtbox").keyup(function () {
            gridAddr .find("tr").hide();
            var data = this.value.split(" ");
            var jo = gridAddr .find("tr");

            if ($(this).val().length != 0) {
                $.each(data, function (i, v) {
                    jo = jo.filter(function(index){
                        return $(this).find("span").attr("zip").search($("#txtbox").val())!=-1;

                    });
                });
                jo.show();
            }
            else {
                jo.show();
            }
        });

Update
If you're sure that any one of the child elements of the row contains the attribute "zip" then use this to filter the rows regardless of their rendering:
instead of
return $(this).find("span").attr("zip").search($("#txtbox").val())!=-1;
write
return $(this).find("[zip*='"+$("#txtbox").val()+"']").length>0;

How the fear of 'sacrilege' fuelled HBO's new 'Watchmen' adaptation
Tuesday, 29 Oct 2019
By SHARMILA NAIR
You've got some nerve getting Sister Night to come out in the day.
New television series Watchmen was shrouded in so much secrecy that when HBO officially announced the cast last month, it simply named Jeremy Irons' role as "Probably Who You Think He Is".
Who, Voldemort?
There isn't much known about this television adaptation of the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' comic book series of the same name, and word on the street (the Internet to be exact) is that fans are intrigued.
Based on the 12-issue maxiseries by the British duo, first published by DC Comics in 1986, the Watchmen series takes place 30 years after the unspeakable events at the end of the comic books. There was a giant squid attack (don't ask) and three million innocent lives were lost.
Now, in the new nine-episode series, superheroes are treated as outlaws – vigilantism is illegal and the FBI hunts for the masked crusaders, and ironically, the cops wear masks as part of their uniform.
This is to protect themselves from the rising white supremacy group, the Seventh Kavalry, hell bent on killing cops, simply because. Like the comic book, the TV show also focuses on various current and political issues plaguing the world.
Show creator Damon Lindelof is a huge fan of the original comics and knows very well that other fans will have many questions regarding his latest undertaking. First question: "Why?"
"I have concerns all the time, about everything, and the biggest concern is always (having) the answer to 'Why? Why are you doing this?'," he told StarLifestyle at a recent interview in New York City, the United States.
Jeremy Irons' character was so secret that it was credited as 'Probably who you think he is".
"My relationship with Watchmen is very personal and very emotional. I have to acknowledge that if that's the way I feel about this thing, then many others will feel the same way about it too.
"They're going to look at anybody coming in and doing any version of Watchmen – at its worst – as some degree of sacrilege," he added.
The 2009 Watchmen movie directed by Zack Snyder was a hit and miss among the comic book fans, so Lindelof's anxiety is warranted.
However, for a "twisted reason" he needs the fear in order to "make stuff". For the record, this is the man who made Lost and The Leftovers, two highly-rated television series in the last two decades, probably with the same anxiety and fear.
Forming the crew
The solid cast also includes more Oscar winners namely Regina King and Louis Gossett Jr, as well as Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen III, Jean Smart and Hong Chau.
This is not King's first venture with Lindelof, whom she had worked with on The Leftover, as did Nicole Kassell who directed the pilot episode of Watchmen.
"We (herself and Kassell) were attracted to the project without reading the script because Damon is the creator. You can trust him to tell a story that is honest to him.
"When a person comes from a place of honesty, we can't help but be attracted to that. He has done such a brilliant job (with the pilot) by putting so many people's truths in one space," said King who plays Angela Abar, whose alter ego is Sister Night.
Abar is a tough, butt-kicking cop, vigilante, mother and a female overall – a character with many intricate facades that are often not represented on screen, believes King.
"I've never seen this woman before on TV, someone who is wearing many different masks. And if someone has seen it, they definitely haven't seen a woman of colour being that, so it's pretty exciting," she added.
Irons on the other hand said that it was Lindelof's enthusiasm about the project that drew him to take on the iconic role – that and a 90-minute pitch.
"I had lunch with him and he talked about an hour and a half, and it was just mind-blowing. His idea wasn't completely formed at that point but he certainly knew my character's direction, most of it anyway.
"I knew nothing about Watchmen, I had never heard of Watchmen. So after the bombshell of a lunch, I went and found out a little bit more about my character," Irons shared.
"I read the comic book. It's hard work ... the prints are so small!"
Oh, by the way, fans have deduced that Oscar winner Irons will play the eccentric billionaire Adrian Veidt, also known as Ozymandias in the comics.
A hard look at society
Watchmen touches on several sensitive topics such as racial tension, gun violence and police brutality, eerily reflecting the current situation not only in the United States but many parts of the world.
Lindelof knows that the topics will rub certain people the wrong way, and he has an answer prepared.
"You can't move through life without stepping on people's toes. The only thing you can control is how hard you step on them," he said, adding that he hopes the audience would understand that his is a work of fiction.
Masks in the rear view mirror are often more yellow that they appear.
He referenced Todd Philips' controversial Joker, which some audience criticise would trigger mass shootings and other forms of violence.
"I haven't seen Joker yet, but my understanding is that it feels uncomfortable because of the times that we are in.
"I think that great storytelling very often is a reflection of the times that we are in. And to not talk about race in a show that is about contemporary America is more irresponsible than talking about race in a way that may step on some people's toes," he went on to say.
Director Kassell on the other hand realises that the show can be construed as adding "fuel to the fire", but insists that it is a necessary conversation to be had by many parties.
"I am very conscious about what I choose to do. It's essential to me that violence never be just for violence's sake or gratuitous.
"The fact that her (King's) character is morally ambiguous – I really grappled with that. Race aside, she's using violence to get information," said Kassell.
Maybe if I point at the pot long enough it'll cook by itself.
The director believes that the hard-hitting topics presented on the show are already out in the open and are being discussed on a daily basis.
"Everyday there are headlines dealing with white supremacy rising; the president is being called as such. So, it's already in the conversation.
"The solution is not a liberal being a president. It's an issue of race whether we have liberal in power or not liberal in power. There is no easy solution but let's talk about what we can do," she said.
It is always unnerving to share one's version of a work that already has a solid fan base, and for that, Lindelof hopes that he has got Watchmen right with the "feel" of the comic book series.
To attain that, the team of writers worked to retain the essence of the original 12 issues, by asking themselves what adjectives could be used to describe the comics.
The descriptions include "mysterious", "sci-fi", "absurd", "funny", or "hopeful", and the writers decided that they were going to keep the list of adjectives a reference for their writing.
"It's our recipe. These are the things that go into the stew. We can't replicate how the original Watchmen was made, because that was magic, but if we use the same ingredients, we may be able to cook a new dish that tastes like it was made by the same chef," he explained.
Watchmen is now showing on HBO (Astro Ch 411).

Entertainment/ February 7, 2021/
joelle hobeika alloy entertainment
In the world of sports, I've often been called a "fairy." I'm nothing but a dreamer, and a natural athlete. I'm just the opposite in the way that I enjoy sports so much. In fact, I'm one of those people who will go in a game hoping to be the one to score the first touchdown.
I've been a huge fan of all of these things so far, and I have absolutely hated the concept of watching a game on TV, but I've also seen a lot of people doing it on the road. Even people who know how to make a game do it on the road, I've been at it with my iPhone for years.
Im not sure if the whole "game on the road" thing is good or bad. I think it is good, because it is a way to make people feel like they are actually gaming on the road. I dont think it is bad because it is something that is not allowed, but I think it is a huge missed opportunity.
I think you can do all of these things and still not play a game on the road, because they don't make sense on the road. For this reason, I think it is a good idea to make it so that players can be playing the game while they are on the road.
Games on the road are a huge missed opportunity. I love games on the road, and this is one of the few games that I really wish I had a chance to play. The one thing I did like about the game is the fact that it is set in the 90s, which makes it feel like a classic game. However, it is still a game that is set in a realistic time period. It is also a game that is set in an alternate reality.
The main premise of the game is that you use a game controller to get a game from a game that is running. The game comes in your hand and it runs until the controller turns on. The controller is turned on and the game begins.
This was a good starting point for me to get my head in gear in the past. I mean, I would have been so disappointed with the game if I had played it in the 90s then, but the story of the game is a fun one and the story is really a fun one at that. I had a really good time playing it, and I really enjoyed the way it played.
The story of the game is really the story of the character. The gameplay and its design all feel very close to my favorite game of all time, the original Fable, which is the game I have my only copy of. I don't necessarily hate the game, I just feel like I can't think of something else to say about it.
The other character who really makes the game feel like Fable is the party master, who really is the one who says, "you must get back to that beach right now!" when Colt starts his quest for the Visionaries.
It's probably been edited down in a few places, but it is pretty clear exactly how the game feels. It's not quite like I was expecting to see the game in its entirety, but it is actually a close second. It's a very interesting story, and you have to make the player feel that way.

Starring Texas
The sushi craze's dark side: Texas film shows how foodies threaten to make tunararer than oil

Activity at Tsukiji Market, Tokyo
Hut one! Hut two! Hut Sushi?
Have you heard the one about the Texas high school that sells sushi at its football games? Me either, but it's no joke.
Austin-based filmmaker/lawyer/Internet pioneer Mark Hall shared that little tidbit as we talked about his award-winning documentary, Sushi: The Global Catch.
Foodies everywhere are gobbling up bluefin tuna at such a rate that, as the film puts it, "We'll run out of tuna before we run out of oil."
When a food becomes so popular as to be welcomed at the holy gridirons of Lone Star high school, you know it's entered the mainstream.
Though Hall can't remember the name of the school with such gourmet concessions ("It's in the Dallas/Fort Worth area," he says) this is just one more indicator that Tokyo's ancient cuisine has been embraced by the whole modern world.
While there's no immediate danger of raw fish replacing hot dogs and popcorn on game nights, Hall says its demand has exploded absolutely everywhere on the planet, even in such other unlikely places (you'd think) as Poland. But indeed, Warsaw is where the seed was planted for Sushi, Hall's feature-length documentary. Already, this film is spawning a sequel, a book (contract signed) and possibly a TV series.
He'll be returning to Japan soon to shoot stills for the book and prep for Sushi 2.
Hall, who grew up in Houston and whose parents "still live in Memorial," told me the story of how his award-winning film came about. (And if you think going to film school had something to do with it, you'd be way off the mark. Pun intended.)
One bluefin tuna can easily sell for $100,000 or more on the auction block at Tokyo's famous fish market.
The short version credits his education in business, law and languages: A degree in finance with a minor in German from Texas A&M, an MBA with a specialization in international finance and Japanese language from the American Graduate School of International Management, and a law degree from Southern Methodist University which included a semester studying international financial law in London.
Hall was awarded a scholarship from the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Investment to attend classes at the Boeki Kenshu Center in Fujinomiya, Japan. He is fluent in Japanese and German and has a working knowledge of Polish, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish.
And to think I was able to converse with this man! (Well, I did have four years of Latin in high school.)
Hall says he's always had to have "some creative thing to do other than lawyering." In 1998 he began his involvement with the film industry and became an active member of the Austin Film Society. As he provided Austin filmmakers with legal and business advice, he eventually began writing, directing and producing films himself, including a documentary for television Mission on Seven that explored the film archive at Austin's Harry Ransom Center.
Back to Poland.
While working in Warsaw as an international attorney. Hall joined some "government people" for lunch one day after a meeting. Expecting a typical Polish restaurant (lots of meat) he was surprised by their choice of a newly-opened sushi bar!
This got him to thinking. (By now you know Hall's one serious thinker.) He saw the cuisine as "emblematic of how economies have rapidly globalized. "
Apparently, foodies everywhere are gobbling up bluefin tuna, specifically, at such a rate that, as his film puts it, "We'll run out of tuna before we run out of oil." That's in spite of its expensive price tag — one bluefin tuna can easily sell for $100,000 or more on the auction block at Tokyo's famous fish market.
Who knew that it was possible to run out of fish?
With that revelation, the film argues for sustainable sushi bars that offer tuna alternatives in their roll. Interviews with fishermen, environment activists and restaurateurs, including celebrated chef Tyson Cole — owner of Uchi on Westheimer (a sushi lover's paradise) — are featured.
Through his film, Hall examines the traditions, global growth and potential consequences of a cuisine gone wild. Who knew that it was possible to run out of fish? Aren't there zillions of them?
The coveted bluefin tuna, which takes several years to mature to its full size, is being caught too early and over fished. If a predator fish is fished out of existence, its former prey's population explodes upsetting nature's balance. Hall believes it could cause the collapse of oceans.
And where would that leave people?
Four years ago, Hall created Sakana Film Productions, an entity to produce documentaries focused on culture, food and politics (Sakana means fish in Japanese). His firm film under that banner is Sushi: The Global Catch which he produced and directed throughout five countries.
Brian Satterwhite, another gifted native Houstonian, composed the score for the soundtrack. Hall believes the music is great enough that it can stand on its own. I don't doubt it. I met Satterwhite while we were working on an independent horror film in Houston called Mr. Hell. His spooky, throbbing score was so perfect I can still call it up in my head. That was six years ago.
Since then, Satterwhite has written scores for more than 90 short and feature films and accumulated 11 Gold Medals of Excellence from the Park City Film Music Festival.
Yet another Houston native, Catie Cacci edited Sushi. I feel like a mama hen, so proud that our city's talents are producing such award-winning films with the promise of more to come.
Both Hall and Satterwhite will be at Saturday's screening. Going yourself is one way to support Texas filmmaking.

In 1929 the James Cycle Company launched the James Handy van. This was a 5 cwt van based around the James motorcycle using its 247cc engine. The vehicle was continually updated and in 1933 the James "Samson" Handy van was introduced powered by an air-cooled, v-twin 1,096cc engine. The Samson had an aluminium body and a new welded steel frame chassis. The rear section of the body gave a loading area of 12 cwt and it also featured dual petrol tanks with one acting as a reserve tank whilst the other was in use. The Samson Handyvan came in two body types; the enclosed Van body and the open Truck type body. The company ceased production in 1939.

Growing up in Texas, holidays are a time for gathering and feasting on Tex-Mex flavors. In the South, there's a tradition to eat black-eyed peas on New Year's Day. This Southern side dish is usually cooked with collard greens and ham. The peas symbolize prosperity, since they grow fatter when cooked. The greens symbolize money for the year ahead. Aside from adding that smokey flavor, the pork represents beneficial forward motion, since pigs forage by rooting forward. Texas Caviar is our no-nonsense version of black-eyed pea good luck to ring in the New Year. Combined with fresh lime, pico de gallo & guacamole, this dip is a winner at any party!
Any variety of tomato is delicious to use in this recipe, but Roma tomatoes are very easy to de-seed and the flesh is less watery than other varieties. Slice the tomatoes in half and cut the seeds out. The seeds can make the dip watery, so it's best to use just the outer flesh of the tomato. Cut into small chunks.
TIP: Tomatoes can be delicate. For a cleaner cut, use a serrated knife and cut the flesh side up (skin side down).
Slice the onion into small chunks.
Slice the jalapeño length-wise and de-seed. Be careful not to touch the seeds. Mince the jalapeno.
TIP: You will want to make sure not to get jalapeno oil on your hands and then touch sensitive skin and/or your eyes.
Wash your hands with dish soap and/or milk/yogurt to neutralize any burns on your hands.
Make a paste with baking soda and water. Rub the mixture onto your hands and allow to dry before washing off.
Open the 2 cans of black-eyed peas with a can opener and drain. Set aside.
De-stem the cilantro and mince.
TIP: To quickly de-stem the herbs, you can hold the top of the stem with your left hand and pull along the stock away from the grain. To see a video of how to de-stem herbs go to my CRASH POTATOES recipe to watch the 7 second video. Click HERE: CRASH POTATOES.
Open the avocado by slicing it in half. Twist and open. One side will have the seed. Lightly tap the seed with a knife so it has a firm hold. Twist the knife and the seed should pop out. Hold half of the avocado in one hand and draw a cross-grid with your knife. You can use a spoon to scoop out the chunks without mashing the avocado.
TIP: You can tell if an avocado is ripe by pulling off the stem (button on top). If the flesh is yellow, it means it's not ripe yet. Green means go. Black/grey means it's overly ripe.
Combine the diced tomato, black-eyed peas, onion, jalapeno & cilantro in a large bowl. Mix with a spoon. Cut the limes in half & squeeze the juice over the mixture.
TIP: If you do not have a juicer, roll the lime on a countertop and squeeze with your hands before cutting it in half. Hold the lime half in one hand and then use a teaspoon and twist into the flesh. You will be able to get more juice out of your lime. The more lime juice you use, the better. The acid from the lime will keep your avocados from browning.
Fold in the avocado gently, so that it doesn't become mashed and remains in chunks.
Salt to taste. I use more salt if my corn chips are unsalted and less salt if I choose Fritos or Salted Tortilla Chips to accompany the dip.
TIP: The longer the dip sits, the more the flavors meld together.
BON APPÉTIT! Have a safe and delicious New Year from Sirens & Scoundrels!
I think I am going to have to go to the store today to make sure we have these ingredients on hand! The photos are beautiful.
Thanks so much! Let us know how you liked it!

Gleneely Development Association: Cnoc an Uininn Panoramic Viewing Point and Spitfire Memorial Plaque
Please find the current press release from the Gleneely Development Association
Gleneely Development Association (GDA) is delighted to announce the opening of the Cnoc an Uininn Panoramic Viewing Point and Spitfire memorial plaque on Friday 10 April 2015 at 3.30 pm.
Following a break of almost 6 years, the Association reconvened in October 2011. Among other matters discussed, the suggestion was put forward to commemorate the excavation, earlier in the year, of the Spitfire P8074 from the side of Glenshinny Mountain in the townland of Moneydarragh just outside Gleneely. From this starting point, the project was developed to include the creation of a viewing point close to the crash site. This site would also incorporate the Spitfire memorial and thus began a journey which will culminate with the official opening on 10 April 2015. It has been acknowledged that the top of Cnoc an Uininn displays the most breathtaking views of the coast of Inishowen. Members of the Association decided that this marvellous view should be shared with both locals and visitors.
After many planning meetings and with the agreement of Donegal County Council work commenced on the site in May 2014. The Association arranged fund raising events to help meet the cost of creating the site. We are grateful to Inishowen Development Partnership and Donegal County Council who contributed towards the cost. We are also grateful to John Doherty (Owen), Community Employment, and his team of workers for their work in creating the walls.
The Association was delighted to receive recently a letter from Barbara Kucharczyk and Betty Wolfe, of North Carolina, USA, daughters of the pilot, Roland 'Bud' Wolfe, thanking us for creating a memorial to their father. Commenting in this letter on their visit to Inishowen in November 2011 the sisters wrote: "We remain humbled by the efforts of so many to bring this piece of history into the present day. We never imagined this chapter of our father's life and military career would result in such a warm welcome to your land and to our joined histories. Please extend our continuing gratitude and admiration for the long effort, commitment and inspiration demonstrated by your entire team."

In an earlier post, we examined the ancient practice of Chinese footbinding and its modern manifestations within the context of shopping for prom shoes. This has become a popular post, as evidenced by a consistently high number of page visits. I will not speculate upon whether random internet explorers with feet or shoe fetishes stumble upon it while searching for other things. All I know is what my statistics tell me... and I don't think they're lying.
So when I read about a new practice of institutional mutilation of a pedalian nature, I knew I had to comment on it.
variants. The majority of these stories involve a plot twist with a glass or golden slipper or shoe. Cinderella flees the palace ball in such haste that she loses her footware on the staircase or the path. The prince discovers its and vows to wed the girl whose foot will fit. Cinder's nasty stepsisters, bent on snagging the keys to the kingdom and egged on by the cruel stepmom, go so far as to cut off parts of their toes and heels in their attempts to force their large dogs into the tiny shoe.
Well, in an instance of life imitating art... women of a certain ilk are now taking the knife to their toes in order to fit their tootsies into modern instruments of torture known as "shoes." Yes, you read it right: elective, i.e. cosmetic, plastic surgery for their feet.
Since the phenomenon was first noted in 2003, women are increasingly requesting cosmetic foot procedures -- including shortening their toes, adding collagen to their heels and even completely removing their pinky toe -- in order to better fit into vertigo-inducing 4-, 5- and even 6-inch stilettos. Others opt to lop parts off in order to fit into a smaller size. Apparently, these women do not understand the biomechanical engineering marvels that are their feet: a complex network of 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles that support over 100,000 pounds of pressure for every mile they traverse. Even small changes can undermine the foot's structural integrity and cause crippling pain, as anyone who has had a wart, a corn, a bunion or plantar fascitis knows all too well. Yet these women are willing to risk infection, nerve damage, foot deformities (from shifting collagen) and worse just to slip their perfectly normal feet into the abnormal shapes designed by Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin. And, the irony of it all is that removing a toe could completely affect a woman's balance, making her even more unstable on those super-high heels.
Obviously most podiatrists and orthopedic surgeons disavow these practices. But as always, there are any number of them on both the East and West coasts who are convinced they are simply helping women "look and feel their best"
This is just another one of those moments when I simply fail to understand my fellow woman.

A question of trust
What's behind blockchain technology
A lot has been said about how blockchain may spark a technological revolution across every corner of the economy – not only in finance, but also areas such as medicine, marketing and supply chain management. What is less clear is how it could pose a hefty social challenge as well.
Tech-enabled trends such as social networking, the sharing economy and crowdfunding all rest on three basic levels of trust: trust in the idea; trust in the platform; and trust in other users. Blockchain – the world's first distributed trustless consensus algorithm behind cryptocurrencies – reduces that convention of building and managing trust a step further.
Users still need to trust the idea and the platform, but they no longer need to trust other users. The process making this possible is far too complex to detail here, but essentially connects existing and new concepts in both technical and social disciplines, as shown in the Venn diagram below.
Whether society is ready for such a change remains to be seen. If you believe the anarchists, decentralising trust is the answer. However, the battle over where we place our trust is intensely political, as indicated by the global attempts to regulate – and even co-opt – cryptocurrency exchanges, chipping away at one of its main advantages around decentralisation. Don't give up on our innate reliance on institutions and norms to create our trust frameworks just yet.

Katy Perry performing onstage during her "Witness: The Tour" at Madison Square Garden, New York City.
Pawel Jurski, Katy Perry's fan and alleged stalker was arraigned before a court yesterday for aggravated assault and escape. The 37 year old man had been stalking Katy Perry throughout her Witness Tour. He also had to face charges for Loitering and resisting arrest.
According to E News, Pawel rushed into a restricted backstage area while Katy Perry was performing at the American Airlines Arena on Wednesday night. He had also tried to contact the singer on two of her shows in Canada.
He told the police that he will do whatever it takes to be with Katy Perry and he had gone to her shows in Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Chicago and Grand Rapids over the past 20 days.
The post Katy Perry's Fan Arrested For Allegedly Stalking The Singer During Her Tour appeared first on Nigerian Entertainment Today – Nigeria's Top Website for News, Gossip, Comedy, Videos, Blogs, Events, Weddings, Nollywood, Celebs, Scoop and Games.


This Ask Tim post is from our archives, but we thought that it was a great time to revisit this topic with kids returning to school and all that goes with that, including dating.
Could you please give me just a little direction in what you think would be the best way to go with our issue with our teen. Our son who is almost 16 has been fairly easy going all along. He is a Christian and attends church regularly with us. He is respectful and has given us very little trouble. The issue: We have always encouraged him along the lines of courting, not dating, and have tried to teach him all the Biblical reasons why we believe this is best. He has gone against all of this and has entered into a dating relationship with a young lady who is not a Christian. We are not sure what the best way to handle this is. He does have a cell phone which he communicates with her on constantly. We have not gone the strong hand route of taking away his cell phone and forbidding him to see her at all. We have continued to share with him our concerns and make sure that there is always a parent around when he does get together with this girl. We are doing the best we can but truthfully we are not sure how to handle the situation. We would really appreciate any advice and/or any direction you could give to us.

90 View from the Cellar The 2016 Verdejo "Egeo" from Isaac Fernandez is produced from sixty year-old vines planted on sandy clay soils. The wine is lovely, wafting from the glass in a classic bouquet of Granny Smith apple, lime peel, green olive, salty soil tones and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is crisp, medium-full and zesty, with fine focus and grip, a lovely core, good backend mineral drive and a long, complex and succulent finish. Just a lovely bottle of Verdejo and a superb value! 2018-2022.
92 Wine Review Online This is among the best Rueda Verdejos I've ever tasted, and certainly the best vintage of this wine (and I've tasted almost all of the vintages that have been imported to the USA). It shows a truly medium-bodied profile, whereas most of its counterparts are light, and yet its unusual heft doesn't come at the cost of any lack of freshness. On the contrary, it backs up its flavors of melon and figs with very zesty citrus acidity that focuses the flavors through the long, generous finish. Very expressive in aroma and flavor, and supremely versatile at the table, this is a standout wine at a great price.
90 View from the Cellar The 2017 Verdejo from Egeo hails from sixty year-old bush vines and is a lovely example of this varietal and a truly exceptional value, as it retails here in the US for only $15 per bottle. The bouquet of the 2017 delivers a fine aromatic constellation of lime, tart orange, a touch of green olive, salty minerality, just a whisper of cut grass and a pungent floral topnote redolent of lime blossoms. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, complex and loaded with personality, with a touch more sauvignon blanc-like grassiness than the nose suggests, with a lovely core of fruit, good transparency and lovely length and grip on the tangy finish. This is really good wine for its price point. 2019-2025.

In combination with user demands, K series mobile crusher is optimized and innovated on structural design, equipment configuration and combined application, so as to realize more flexible combinations, greatly widening the application fields and truly realizing the approaching treatment of materials.
K series mobile crusher owns 7 series and 72 machine models, and fully covers various production demands for coarse crushing, intermediate fine crushing, fine crushing, shaping, screening and sand washing. Customer can choose independent operation and combination operation like three-combination, and four-combination, etc.; compared with the other mobile crushers and screens in domestic and foreign markets, this series has more machine types and wider coverage.
Compared with fixed production line, K series mobile crushing plant has a shorter engineering period and rapider transition, which not only reduces the investment risk and opportunity cost of the investors, but also avoids the demolition and construction after the end of project, making it more economical and environmental. In addition, the machine has excellent value-holding capacity, so that the investor can rapidly invest in a new project, or sell the machine to get money, thus reducing the investment cost.
SBM's K series mobile crusher takes the concept of modularization. The general structural layout can realize the direct replacement of main parts without replacing the body, so as to satisfy the crushing and screening demands at different stages; if the user needs to expand the production capacity, replacing the main parts can accomplish the upgrading of mobile crusher and save reinvestment cost of the body. In addition, the wheel-type mobile crusher can move in remote and rugged areas, greatly reducing the road construction cost in earlier stage.

1. How and why did you become involved in fashion design?
I've always loved to be creative and design things from when I was a child. It started ever since I can remember and it's always been my dream to design beautiful clothing. In fact for a short time I worked in the retail industry but then soon realised I wanted to have the freedom to do my own thing and wanted to build my own successful clothing line and design clothing that people love.
2. How do you get inspiration for your labels?
I like to keep a watch on global trends, top international designers and celeb-led fashion. I'm also inspired by fabrics and textures, colours and prints, objects, shapes nature and buildings. I like my designs to be interesting and unique as well as have a trend-forward elements to them. Most importantly I aim for high quality and reasonable prices as well as glamorous designs and durability of clothes.
3. What is the best thing you have learned from having a fashion blog?
4. Advice to anyone looking for a career in fashion?
Be prepared to work hard and keep an open mind, the most important thing to me is to be able to design, adapt and change to suit a fast paced industry but always be true to yourself and what you believe in. And never give up, if you have a dream believe in yourself and you can do anything.
My style depends on how I feel and my mood. I enjoy experimenting with different trends and aim to dress to suit my body type. In my wardrobe this winter season are my brogues, stockings, 80s snow washed high waisted denims, boyfriend blazer and some long sleeve floral dresses.
6. Who would you nominate as the hottest designer worldwide right now and why?
I think it would have to be Roberto Cavalli, he is also one of my favourite designers. The man has got skill and he has this way of taking clothing to the next level. He really captures luxury in a piece of clothing that makes it so interesting to watch as it makes its way down the runway! I would say he is the biggest fashion icon at the moment although I would love to see what Lady Gaga will do next. It is always so over the top yet really refreshing to see as she's not afraid to make a statement.
7. Whose style do you most admire?
I love Nicole Richie, it's a mix between a classic old school Hollywood and Boho-chic look. I like how relaxed her style is. Her clothing and jewellery collection House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate are fabulous, she's defiantly a trend setter.
8. Your latest fashion splurge?
I recently visited Forever New where I bought these stunning leopard print wedges. I'm obsessed with shoes.
9. What's exciting right now in fashion?
Fashion is always exciting as there is never an off button. I never stop working and I'm always designing things in my head and constantly researching and working on new ideas. Right now I'm excited about my swimwear collection, which I'm busy working on for next summer. As for this season's winter trends I love the laid back look, Doc Martins, brogues, stockings, layering, hats, turbans, indie styling, crop tops, peg leg pants, messy buns, aviation, coats and jackets.
10. In your opinion, what is the biggest fashion trend at the moment?
Jumpsuits/playsuits that are well fitted and perfectly constructed, as well as men's wear inspired pieces like jackets and pants are trending this season.
I LOVE accessories especially rings, I'll wear like two or three on one hand.
High-waisted items are my favourite. I love anything high-waisted from denim shorts to pants to high-waisted body con skirts.
I'm also crazy about nautical inspired pieces, anchor buttons, rope trimmings, gold detailing and sailor stripes; all things nautical.
Play suits and wedges – I love how you can dress them down or dress them up and they are both super comfortable.
A simple LBD (little black dress) no matter your mood you can never go wrong with a stunning little black dress, pair it with a biker jacket and some killer heels or add a statement piece of jewellery, always stylish.
12. Ultimate celebrity shopping companion?
Oh most definitely the Kardashians! Kim K and her sisters look like they can spend some serious money. She is my fav celeb style icon as she's not scared to show off her curves and she always looks stylish.
The Socialite's Chia Kougianos will be dressed in a unique Bianca Kim Clothing dress for our next Video Showcase at the K & K Winterfest where Chia will be interviewing the likes of Flash Republic, Jax Panik, aKing, Zebra and Giraffe, Kurt Darren and Snotkop. Look out for the video coming soon to The Socialite and check out the rest of the Bianca Kim Clothing collection at www.biancakimclothing.co.za.

Prague Guide ~ Prague Tours ~ Private Guided Tours
Prague Spring International Music Festival
By Erin Naillon
The Origins of the Prague Spring International Music Festival
The origins of this festival date back to 1946. At that time, the country was in a justifiably celebratory mood. World War II had been over for exactly one year. Ironically, the Prague Philharmonic celebrated its 50th anniversary that same year. The two events combined into the Prague Spring International Music Festival, now in its 66th year.
Rafael Kubelík
Edvard Beneš, President of Czechoslovakia in 1946, was the patron of the new event. The project was initiated by Rafael Kubelík, chief conductor of the orchestra at the time. This festival concentrated on works by various Czech composers, as well as works by composers from the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. The following year, 1947, a competition was held for the best new talent. This competition has survived to the present day.
Bedrich Smetana – Má vlast (My Country)
Since 1952, the festival has opened on 12 May — the anniversary of the death of Bedřich Smetana — with his cycle of symphonic poems Má vlast (My Country), and it used to close (until 2003) with Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. In 1956, the Prague Spring International Music Festival was one of the founders of the World Federation of International Music Competitions. This is the acid test for many a young talent, and has made many successful careers worldwide.
Leonard Bernstein, Luciano Pavarotti, etc.
Among the many famous names who have graced the festival are: Leonard Bernstein, who conducted at the first two years of the festival; Leopold Stokowski; Yehudi Menuhin; Arthur Rubinstein; František Rauch; Natalia Gutman; Jessye Norman; and Luciano Pavarotti.
Before and After the Velvet Revolution
Prague Spring Music Festival
Perhaps the most intriguing and surprising fact about the Prague Spring International Music Festival is that it survived Communism unscathed, emerging triumphantly in the post-totalitarian era following the Velvet Revolution. It is now available to all (who can come to Prague and buy tickets), and the performances are better than ever. Tickets for this year's festival went on sale last December; such is the popularity of the event.
Many of Prague's most magnificent buildings will host Prague Spring, including the Municipal Building, Rudolfinum, National Theatre, Estates Theatre, and St. Margaret's Basilica. Many of the performances offer barrier-free access to those with limited mobility.
Tickets are available online from Ticketpro. For more information and for the times, venues, and ticket costs, go to www.festival.cz/en.

National Ambulance Code soon
The move will rationalise ambulance specifications in India and ensure quality pre-inter-hospital transfer of patients.
Published: 13th February 2012 02:09 AM | Last Updated: 16th May 2012 05:55 PM | A+A A-
NEW DELHI: The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways will shortly put in place the 'National Ambulance Code' to rationalise the ambulance specifications in India and to ensure quality pre-inter-hospital transfer of patients.
A committee has been constituted under the chairmanship of Dr Shakti K Gupta, HoD, Hospital Administration of AIIMS (New Delhi). The ministry is also in the process of formulation of a 'National Emergency Medical Services Network' by interlinking all the existing and new ambulances under a centralised toll free number.
The matter is being actively pursued with other related ministries as well. The ministry has committed to provide 140 advance life support ambulances to identified trauma care centres being developed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare along the national highways.
It is planning to impart the first-aid training in spinal and head injury cases to drivers, toll booth operators and volunteers from nearby villages along the national highways. It is also organising seminars and workshops involving the state governments, all stakeholders, academicians and planners in order to raise the level of awareness on road safety issues and to work in a systematic manner to curb the rising trend of road accidents and fatalities.

Q: $f^{*}\omega = \det(df)dx_{1}\wedge \cdots \wedge dx_{n}$ for $f(x_{1},...,x_{n}) = (y_{1},...,y_{n})$ and $\omega = dy_{1}\wedge \cdots dy_{n}$
Let $f: \mathbb{R}^{n} \to \mathbb{R}^{n}$ be a differentiable map, given by
  $$f(x_{1},...,x_{n}) = (y_{1},...,y_{n}),$$
  and $\omega = dy_{1}\wedge \cdots dy_{n}$. Show that
  $$f^{*}\omega = \det(df)dx_{1}\wedge \cdots \wedge dx_{n}.$$

My attempt.
$$\begin{eqnarray*}
f^{*}\omega & = & f^{*}(dy_{1}\wedge \cdots \wedge dy_{n})\\
            & = & f^{*}(dy_{1})\wedge \cdots \wedge f^{*}(dy_{n})\\
            & = & d(f^{*}y_{1}) \wedge \cdots \wedge d(f^{*}dy_{n})\\
            & = & d(y_{1}\circ f)\wedge \cdots \wedge d(y_{n}\circ f)\\
            & = & df_{1}\wedge \cdots \wedge df_{n}\\
            & = & \sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{\partial f_{1}}{\partial x_{j}}dx_{j}\wedge \cdots \wedge \sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{\partial f_{n}}{\partial x_{j}}dx_{j},
\end{eqnarray*}$$
but, $dx_{i} \wedge dx_{i} = 0$. So,
$$\frac{n!}{n!(n-n!)} = 1$$
is the number of distinct combinations of $dx_{i}$. Let $\sigma$ be a permutation of $n$ elements, then
$$\begin{eqnarray*}
f^{*}\omega & = & \sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{\partial f_{1}}{\partial x_{j}}dx_{j}\wedge \cdots \wedge \sum_{j=1}^{n}\frac{\partial f_{n}}{\partial x_{j}}dx_{j}\\
            & = & \sum \frac{\partial f_{1}}{\partial x_{\sigma(1)}}\cdots \frac{\partial f_{n}}{\partial x_{\sigma(n)}}dx_{\sigma(1)} \wedge \cdots \wedge dx_{\sigma(n)}.
\end{eqnarray*}$$
Now, I know that changing $dx_{\sigma(1)} \wedge \cdots \wedge dx_{\sigma(n)}$ with $dx_{1} \wedge \cdots \wedge dx_{n}$ should be appear $\mathrm{sign}(\sigma)$ in the sum, but I cannot justify. Probably it is trivial, but can someone help me? I know that this question was asked here, but I didn't find this detail.
