What is a High Sheriff?
The Office of High Sheriff is an independent non-political Royal appointment for a single year. The origins of the Office date back to Saxon times, when the "Shire Reeve" was responsible to the King for the maintenance of law and order within the shire, or county, and for the collection and return of taxes due to the Crown. Today there are 55 High Sheriffs serving the counties of England and Wales.
High Sheriffs receive no remuneration, and expenses are not funded by the public purse. Each High Sheriff will approach their year differently depending on their skills and experience, and their own areas of interest. The High Sheriff ceremonial uniform dates back to the late seventeenth century.
The role of the modern High Sheriff is "to uphold and lend active support to the principal organs of the Constitution – the Royal Family, the Judiciary, the Police, the Prison services and other law enforcement agencies, the emergency services, local authorities, and all recognised church and faith groups."
History of High Sheriffs
The Office of High Sheriff is the oldest secular Office in the UK and has existed for over 1,000 years.
During the 11th and 12th centuries their powers were very extensive. The High Sheriff judged court cases, collected taxes, and could raise the "hue and cry" in pursuit of felons. The High Sheriff was the representative of the Crown.
The Sheriff's powers were gradually reduced over succeeding centuries. Under the Tudors, Lord-Lieutenants were created as personal representatives of the Sovereign. The Sheriffs were responsible for issuing Court writs until relatively recently, and the relationship with Judges has continued to this day.
Every year the Sovereign pricks the High Sheriff names on vellum with a bodkin on the Sheriffs' Roll, a practice that goes back to Henry VII to ensure the name cannot be changed! The High Sheriff is responsible for reading the Proclamation in his/her County on the accession of a new Sovereign.

Peru money (currency) comes in the shape of bills and coins of the sizes and denominations pictured farther down this page.
The unit of currency in Peru is called the "Nuevo Sol."
It's official abbreviation is PEN. This unit in common use is just a "sol" (pronounced similar to English "soul") or the plural, soles (pronounced similar to "soul-ace").
The smallest unit of Peruvian currency is the "centimo" or hundredth of a sol, but the smallest coin in common use is the 10 centimo coin.
Although the S/. 50.00 PNS (Peruvian Nuevo Sol) and the S/. 100.00 PNS are commonly in circulation all over Peru, it is also common to find that vendors won't have change for the larger bills.
You will need to make sure that you are carrying smaller bills, like 20s, 10s, and coins when shopping or for transportation (taxis, combis, micros).
As in the other countries in Latin America where Lin and I have lived, it seems that the vendors just don't think ahead. They start the business day with no cash and go from there.
So be sure to get a handful of smaller bills like these below when going to the market to bargain for groceries or small purchases.
As in most, if not all, countries in the world, Peru has an ongoing battle against counterfeiters.
Although advances in technology have aided in making money harder to counterfeit, technology in some cases is used to produce high quality counterfeits.
"U.S., Peru Seize $30M in Counterfeit Dollars, Biggest Bust Ever"
WASHINGTON — U.S. and Peruvian agents have seized a record $30 million in counterfeit dollars in the biggest netting of fake greenbacks ever by the U.S. Secret Service, the agency said on Thursday... Peru is the world's largest manufacturer and distributor of fake U.S. currency.
The most popular bills to counterfeit, of course, are the biggest denominations in daily use, in this case, the 100 sol bill.
Don't be offended. If you present one of these bills in payment for goods or services, nearly all sales personnel, taxi drivers, etc, will hold it up to the light and scrutinize it.
Since the features of these bills involve iridescent colors that change at different angles, as well as interwoven ribbons, hidden images, etc., they don't reproduce well on a computer screen, so I won't try to show the differences here.
I do recommend asking someone to show you what to look for when you do get to Peru.
Other denominations of bills and even the 5 sol coin have been counterfeited.
If you have any doubts about a bill or a coin, don't accept it.
Peruvians are used to that.
Peru Money and Other Currency Pains - One of the most frustrating things a traveler will run into in Peru is the "won't accept your dollar bill" thiing.
For example, you're down to needing to change your last 100 dollar bill. But no one will take it.
Why? One corner is torn off. Or it has been creased too many times down the middle and is slightly worn. Or worse yet, someone has signed their name on it in pen.
For any of these reasons, you may find yourself unable to change or use a paper bill, whether 100 dollars or 1 dollar.
legitimate currency no matter what shape the bills may be in as long as they are more than 50% there.
At first, the Peruvian money will look like fake money and you'll have a hard time remembering how much it's worth.
If you're in Peru more than a couple of weeks, however, pretty soon you'll think in soles.
Then when you're back in your home country you'll have to go through that process again in reverse.
Have fun and you'll enjoy seeing your dollar or euro buy a lot more food and fun than you're used to!

Nintendo Reveals Another New Switch, and This One's Got Longer Battery Life [Update]
It's a revision to the original, but with a better battery.
News by Eric Van Allen, News Editor
Updated on 17 July 2019
Update: Nintendo of America has a listing for mid-August 2019 for the new Switch model. Meanwhile, in Europe, Nintendo UK confirmed to Eurogamer that "consumers should start seeing the new packaging on store shelves starting from early September" in the UK. If you're holding out for one of these new models, you should probably wait until then.
The original story follows:
The Lite isn't the only Switch revision coming to market. An updated version of the base Nintendo Switch, with slight hardware tweaks to improve battery life, is on the way.
The new Switch model (via Nintendo of Japan) seems largely the same as the launch Nintendo Switch, and will even be priced similarly. The big change is battery life-4.5 to 9 hours, depending on the game, on the new Switch model. This is a nice upgrade from the current Switch model, which ranges 2.5 to 6.5 hours.
Using The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as a comparison point, the difference is 3 hours' battery life for the undocked version of the base Switch compared to 5.5 hours on the new revision of the model. While this is set to launch in late August for Japan, there's no word yet on pricing and release date for the US, but we'll update this story as soon as we know.
This confirms a lot of the recent rumblings that the oft-rumored "Switch Pro" would not be a major upgrade like the Xbox One X or PlayStation 4 Pro, but a mild hardware tune-up. Signs point to this being the model revision filed for recently, though we'll have to get more details to confirm whether it's packing the "Mariko" chip or not.
A little bit more battery life never hurt though, especially when it has to compare against the Nintendo Switch Lite's portability. Be sure to check out our guide on all things Nintendo Switch Lite to see what the differences are between it and the original, now newly improved, Switch.

Text, Email or phone call alerts. Protects and documents temperatures of refrigerators and freezers. Displays and logs up to four different cold storage appliances in a simple format. Simple installation. Color coded display shows safe/unsafe conditions and Min/Max.
Insure safety and compliance. Monitors, logs, charts and alarms. Protects critical inventory stored in refrigerators and freezers.
Once you enter in your safe temperature range for each freezer the TV2 checks every four seconds to see it the temperature has become unsafe. As soon as a temperature moves outside the safe range it turns red on the display, and if a delay is exceeded the monitor goes into alert mode. An alarm delay is usually set to eliminate false alarms caused by the door being opened or warm product loaded into the freezer. So if the temperature gets too warm for too long, or the power fails, the freezer alarm goes into alarm mode and people are alerted. the TV2 alarm can even send all three alerts; text to multiple phones, emails to several people and phone calls to additional people.
It is all too easy for a freezer to malfunction by warming up and then cooling down again while no one is around. This sometimes happens when the compressor relay gets stuck. Should that happen it would not be noticed if the temperature was being recorded once or twice a day, but the TV2 will catch it every time.
You can view an actual temperature chart on the TV2 Freezer Alarm. The chart is so easy to understand that each member of your staff will "get" it without any special training. They automatically become part of your quality control system every time they glance at the display. Anyone can immediately see if everything is OK or if something happened while no one was looking. If all the numbers are green everything is OK. If a number is red there is a problem.
All logged data is stored in an encrypted format and can be electronically signed. All downloaded files are encrypted with 128 bit encryption. Once the data has been logged to the Freezer Alarm it can never be changed, even after being downloaded to a computer as long as they are stored in the TV2 format. Of course, if they are imported into Excel the encryption is broken..
NIST traceable calibrated sensors are available. Re-calibration can be done by metrology labs or even at your location by comparing the temperature to a certified and/or calibrated instrument. Each sensor has its own calibration table which is user accessible.
Q. How accurate is the temperature sensor?
A. Yes. It exceeds the requirements of each of these agencies.
A. Each sensor comes with a twenty foot wire, which can be extended to hundreds of feet.
Q. Are the temperature sensors wired to the monitor?
A. We offer both wired and wireless sensors.
A. It does not matter. Wired sensors needs to plug into the monitor but the monitor can be mounted anywhere.
A. No. Sensors do not need outside power. The wireless sensors do require a 9vdc battery.
A. Every four seconds if you are using wired sensors.

<title>curl_share_setopt man page</title>
<meta name="generator" content="roffit 0.7">

NAME

curl_share_setopt - Set options for a shared object
SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLSHcode curl_share_setopt(CURLSH *share, CURLSHoption option, parameter);

DESCRIPTION

Set the option to parameter for the given share.
OPTIONS

CURLSHOPT_LOCKFUNC

The parameter must be a pointer to a function matching the following prototype:

void lock_function(CURL *handle, curl_lock_data data, curl_lock_access access, void *userptr);

Q: Data migration Eav step error Anyone having this issue?
data migration > EAV Step

SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry '1-Migration_Default' for key 'EAV_ATTRIBUTE_SET_ENTITY_TYPE_ID_ATTRIBUTE_SET_NAME'

A: This error occurs when the migration tool fails to transfer data (e.g. due to integrity violations) without rolling back, and is ran again. It attempts to create "Migration_Default" attribute set and fails, because it already is present in the database.
What you have to do is to:
1) Restore your Magento 2.0 database from a copy that you (hopefully) made before running the migration tool.
2) Run the migration tool again and check for the first error that it fails on. In my case it was:
[PDOException]
  SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry 'home-1' for key 'URL_REWRITE_REQUEST_PATH_STORE_ID'

3) Fix the problem (I had to manually remove a row in the DB).
Repeat the steps until you've cleared all errors and see the sweet sounding message:
Migration completed

A: I found this solution that solved this issue for me
https://github.com/magento/data-migration-tool/issues/235#issuecomment-321923437

Solution is to rename all values containing the name "Default" in "attribute_value_name" field of eav_attribute_set table to "Default_x" in the Magento 1 database and run the migration from scratch.
In my case, there were 9 records with name "Default". So I renamed them to Default_1 to Default_9 and it worked perfectly!

A: In my case: It happened to me and I had to import a backup of my magento 2 database before reloading migration.
At your case: Maybe you had to reload data migration a second time.

A: To fix this issue,

*

*First you need to check for already migrated attribute sets.

*Then delete those attribute sets except the default one.

You can do that through your SQL querying application or interface.
DELETE FROM eav_attribute_set WHERE attribute_set_name != 'Default';

A: Double check with your migrating Database Magento 2.
Sometimes We didn't change the database name in the data migrating tool.
Reinstall fresh Magento instance and correctly add database name in data migrating tool

A: Data-Migration-Tool does not receive data from the source in utf8.
Here is a simple solution to this problem:
Edit: vendor/magento/data-migration-tool/src/Migration/ResourceModel/Adapter/Mysql.php
public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\DB\Adapter\Pdo\MysqlFactory $adapterFactory,
    \Magento\Framework\DB\Ddl\TriggerFactory $triggerFactory,
    array $config
) {
    $config['initStatements'] = 'SET NAMES utf8'; // +
    $configData['config'] = $config;
    $this->resourceAdapter = $adapterFactory->create($configData);
    $this->setForeignKeyChecks(0);
    $this->triggerFactory = $triggerFactory;
}

GitHub

A: In my experience, there is sample data installed. So, i have done the following steps.

*

*I dropped the database

*Then reinstall magento 2 again without sample data.

Then, I can migrate.

A: Fixed my issue with following sql:
Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry '4-Images' for key – Magento 2
delete from eav_attribute_group WHERE attribute_group_name = 'Images';

So try something
delete from eav_attribute_group WHERE attribute_group_name = 'Home';

Everything questionable, objectionable and controversial about the original Straw Dogs continues to be finely filtered out, leaving a basic, simple revenge story. None of the artistic violence, symbolic editing or jarring music remains. This update goes as far as to spell out the need for the title, along with adding the road "maybe you must wear a bra," which drastically dumbs down the intent behind Amy's appearance. If it weren't for the idea that the target audience will probably have zero expertise in the 1971 version's existence, this degree of defining, dulling and allaying disputatious content can be insulting. Extra references to the predominant themes, such as the inclusion of research on Stalingrad, further add on the intellectual affront.
Further, keep in mind the emotional part of the dog hospice care. Try not to feel too sad around her, Why?

LeaguesNHLEastern Conference
Habs Sink the Rangers; Take 2-1 Series Lead
Joe Soccoa
NEW YORK – Make it six straight home playoff losses for the New York Rangers as they fell in game three of the first round to the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs now have a two games to one lead in the best-of-seven series. Game four will be played on Tuesday and if the Rangers can't find their game it will be another early exit.
You can relate to the frustration of the fans and especially Henrik Lundqvist who, yet again, was superb in the net. You can't help but feel for the guy who year in and year out is always stellar in the playoffs. His playoff record may say otherwise but it certainly doesn't reflect the performances he has put on over the years; including the first two games of this series. The other part of the frustration is the special teams specifically the power play. The Rangers power play is now 0-for-10 in the series and that is proving to be the difference maker as the Canadiens were able to cash in on 2 of their 3 in tonight's contest.
This was the match-up everyone wanted for the Rangers. Stay away from the Metropolitan division and go for the Atlantic and they did, not on purpose of course, but they did and it's been difficult thus far. This was by far the worst game we've seen at home by the Rangers and the frustration is mounting. Coming into the season, there wasn't much expectations given the off-season moves but they were expected to make the playoffs. The performance we seen at Madison Square Garden was atrocious. The crowd was in it for maybe a few minutes (and by crowd, I mean the very select few real fans who have been phased out by the businessman and the sky rocketed ticket prices.)
We can go on and on but the point is the Rangers need to find their game quick. Their top players need to show up and not rely on the fourth line to generate chances because that has been the most consistent line through the first three games. Everyone talks about the window for Lundqvist and its rapidly closing and this was their best chance to at least the Eastern Conference finals going through the Atlantic division.
As for those top players and the overall game, head coach Alain Vigneault certainly didn't shy away to make it known his players aren't performing well, "They're (Habs) playing very well defensively. You have to give them a lot of credit. Structurally, they're very sound and at this time right now our best line is our fourth line. Our top players need to find their game. They obviously don't have it right now. We have another game on Tuesday. You have to get yourself in a mental zone to execute. That's what we're going to work on tomorrow and Tuesday morning."
As for Lundqvist, who we all know will put the pressure and blame on himself spoke about the growing frustration, "I think it's important we start with ourselves and not look at what they are doing. Let's start with ourselves. Yes, they are a good team. We have to give more at home, in the playoffs, or we aren't going to win. We need more; it's as simple as that. Obviously special teams were a big part of the game tonight. I didn't come up with the saves there on the penalty kill. They made some good plays. Our power play did not get going and get any momentum for us. We all need to be better in the next one."
The Rangers need to get it together as mentioned. Their overall play and their top guys need to step up, it's plain and simple at this point. It will be a long summer if things don't come together by Tuesday.

Hip hop artist perform Sunday night for Ferguson October weekend protest.
Hip-hop artists national and local converged on small midtown concert club Fubar on Sunday afternoon in the name of Hip Hop 4 Justice.
The event alternatively titled Hip Hop & Resistance included appearances from Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, Tef Poe, Doorway, Bo Dean, Rockwell Knuckles, T-Dubb-O, Family Affair, Nato Caliph, Scripts & Screws, Nick Menn, Rebel Diaz, Aloha Mi'sho and more.
Activist-author Cornel West, in town to keynote a mass meeting at Chaifetz Arena on Sunday night as part of the weekend of protests dubbed FergusonOctober, made a surprise appearance at Fubar, as did actor Jesse Williams of "Grey's Anatomy," who has been vocal about unrest in Ferguson. FergusonOctober is an organized wave of resistance calling for justice and lasting change in the wake of the shooting death of Ferguson teenager Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson.

Q: Convert multidimensional object to query string I have an object:
{"f":{"cid":"325","field_name[10][0]":"133","field_name[10][1]":"132","price":"320|3600"}}

And I would like to convert this object to query string.
I'm using this function:
function toQueryString(obj, prefix) {
        var str = [];
        for(var p in obj) {
            var k = prefix ? prefix + "[" + p + "]" : p, v = obj[p];
            str.push(typeof v == "object" ?
              toQueryString(v, k) :
              encodeURIComponent(k) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(v));
        }
        return str.join("&");
}

But this function gives me result:
f[cid]=325&f[field_name[10][0]]=133&f[field_name[10][1]]=132&f[price]=320%7C3600

This is wrong as I can't get right result on my server side:
Array
(
    [f] => Array
        (
            [cid] => 325
            [field_name[10] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 133
                )

            [price] => 320|3600
        )
)

How can I solve this problem?
I think the right result will be something like this:
f[cid]=325&f[field_name[[10][0]]]=133&f[field_name[[10][1]]]=132&f[price]=320%7C3600

A: I changed your function a little in order to correct the nested query strings:
function toQueryString(obj, prefix) {
    var str = [], k, v;
    for(var p in obj) {
        if (!obj.hasOwnProperty(p)) {continue;} // skip things from the prototype
        if (~p.indexOf('[')) {
            k = prefix ? prefix + "[" + p.substring(0, p.indexOf('[')) + "]" + p.substring(p.indexOf('[')) : p;
// only put whatever is before the bracket into new brackets; append the rest
        } else {
            k = prefix ? prefix + "[" + p + "]" : p;
        }
        v = obj[p];
        str.push(typeof v == "object" ?
          toQueryString(v, k) :
          encodeURIComponent(k) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(v));
    }
    return str.join("&");
}

Running this function on your original object now gives us this query string:
f[cid]=325&f[field_name][10][0]=133&f[field_name][10][1]=132&f[price]=320|3600

If we pass this to a PHP page told to print_r($_GET), it gives us:
Array
(
    [f] => Array
        (
            [cid] => 325
            [field_name] => Array
                (
                    [10] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => 133
                            [1] => 132
                        )

                )

            [price] => 320|3600
        )

)

Exactly what you wanted, right?

A: This question already has an answer that does what you want,  but I decided to explain the alternative that I hinted at in my comment because I think it is good to know more than one way of doing things.
It doesn't do what you want exactly,  but I think it is a simpler,  robuster, and more maintainable method of transmitting arbitrary objects.
function toQueryString(obj, name)  {
    return encodeURIComponent(name) + '=' +
        encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(obj));
}

On the php side (assuming name was "foo"),  all you have to do is:
$foo=json_decode($_GET["foo"], true);

The only bit of difficulty is that if you want to support certain versions of Internet Explorer, you have to use a polyfill for JSON.stringify,  but these are readily available.
The drawback is naturally an extra indirection, but I think there is a major benefit: you are pushing the burden of bug testing this to the browser manufacturers and (if necessary) the developers of whatever implementation of JSON.stringify you decide to use.
Granted that has the drawback of introducing a new dependency,  but I believe it is useful enough to warrant it.
Your mileage may vary.
Also: if you can send the data using a POST request,  than you can directly send the result of JSON.stringify as raw POST data without URL encoding it. In the PHP  side you  can fetch it with json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"), true)

A: I just wrote this. It works for me.
let objToQueryString = function (obj, prefix) {
    let fields = [];
    if (obj && Object.keys(obj).length) {
        for (let i in obj) {
            if (obj.hasOwnProperty(i)) {
                if (typeof obj[i] === 'object') {
                    fields.push(objToQueryString(obj[i], prefix ? prefix + '[' + i + ']' : i));
                } else {
                    fields.push((prefix ? prefix + '[' + i + ']' : i) + '=' + (typeof obj[i] === 'undefined' ? '' : encodeURIComponent(obj[i])));
                }
            }
        }
    } else if (prefix) {
        fields.push(prefix + '=');
    }
    return fields.join('&');
};

objToQueryString({x: 1, y: 2, z: {a: 10, b: 20, c: {i: 100, j: null, k: {}}}}); //returns "x=1&y=2&z[a]=10&z[b]=20&z[c][i]=100&z[c][j]=&z[c][k]="

Enjoy.

In 1912–1914, Otto Gutfreund made a radical shift towards Cubism. Many of his drawings from this period are founded on the construction of hollow forms, but also on the "moving planes" concept. The Cubist Composition – Head is one such set of moving planes. Planes, literally sheets, are placed one before the other in the direction of the viewer, thus producing a spatial effect of a head. Looking at the drawing, one even feels as if the head were composed of some sort of plywood pieces. This allusion makes more sense once we realize that during his internment in France in 1916, Gutfreund created wooden sculptures from flat pieces of wood, a medium in which he achieved "consistent abstract constructivism". Distinctive of Gutfreund was the use of the verso of the letterhead paper of the Moravian insurance company in this drawing. This creates a tension between the artistic construction of the new figure and the connotations of the world of bureaucracy and finances. In doing so, he expressed a double alienation: both from the traditional ideal of human beauty in favour of artificial and constructive beauty, and from the meaning of money and of Man as commodities.


A dividend increase is generally a bullish sign, which reflects management's optimistic view on the near term prospects for the company. The sign of dividend increases is especially bullish for companies which have raised distributions for over one decade. One has to be careful however to avoid the excessively high yielding stocks which might not be able to sustain future dividend payments. Investors should also avoid chasing dividend growth stocks which don't have a long history of dividend increases.
Praxair, Inc. (PX), which engages in the production and distribution of industrial gases, increased its quarterly dividend by 13% to 45 cents per share. Praxair, Inc. is a dividend achiever, which has increased its quarterly dividend in each of the past seventeen consecutive years. The stock currently yields 2.40%.
Energen Corporation (EGN), which is engages in the development, acquisition, exploration, and production of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids in the continental United States, increased its quarterly dividend by 4% to 13 cents per share.

Q: codeigniter- search and display data from database I am trying to display data from database to the view but I am unable to do so.
the problem I am having is that how do I display the data in a table tag while connecting it with the controller.
View:
<form action="#" class="login-wrapper" method="get">

     <input class="input span12 password" type="text" name="search" placeholder="search by name">

     <input class="btn btn-danger" type="submit" name="sub" value="search now">

</form>

Controller:
public function select ($search){

    $this->load->model('Login_model');

    if(isset($_GET ['search']) && !empty($_GET['search'])) {

        $search= $_GET[ 'search'];
        $this->load->model('Login_model');

        if($this->Login_model->selectorganizer($search))
        {
           $this->load->view('organizer');

        }
        else
        {
            redirect('admin/show');
        }
    }
}

Model:
public function selectorganizer ($search) {
    $condition = "search = '" . $search . "'";
    $this->db->select('*');
    $this->db->from('organizer');
    $this->db->where($condition);
    $query = $this->db->get();
    return $result = $query->result();
}

A: As your field name is name="data[search]"

So you get in by using $_GET['data']['search']
<?php print_r($_GET['data']['search']);?>

OR
You have to change your field name according to your code name="search"
<input class="input span12 password" type="text" name="search" placeholder="search by name">

Controller
You have to call your view and pass your query result
<?php
public function select ($search){

    $this->load->model('Login_model');

    if(isset($_GET ['search']) && !empty($_GET['search'])) {

        $search= $_GET[ 'search'];
        $this->load->model('Login_model');
        $result=$this->Login_model->selectorganizer($search)''

        if($result)
        {
            $data['result']=$result;
             $this->load->view('YOUR_VIEW', $data);
        }
        else
        {
            redirect('admin/show');
        }
    }

It's been a while since I wrote a 'Storytime' post, but let's just start this one. Sometime in my elementary school we had a substitute professor who was teaching geography and he had some big shoes to fill in as the professor that was absent was pretty loved. He was Michael, young and new in this business. So he came all friendly, a bit confused and all over the place, but very nice. He also told us we could call him only by his first name which was a huge difference to all other teachers and professors. And we were about 12 years old at the time. It was kinda weird so we kept calling him 'professor' whenever we needed him. Although I kinda missed the old one, I really liked Michael. And I think he liked me. Not only me, but I always did my homework, I did good in his class so he liked that.
One time we were given pair assignments and my friend's any mine was to write a paper on Cyprus and present it to the class. This was going on for few weeks before we had to do it. We've already listened to about half the class and we saw how everybody was doing it. We all had posters and papers in front of us to read all the stats and information we're supposed to present. Nobody was good at presenting in 6th grade.
So our turn came and my friend didn't show up to school that day (I forgot the reason why) so I asked my other friend if she could just read those parts off a paper. She said she could so we came up front and started. As soon as I started reading, Michael stopped me and started yelling. He said we couldn't read anything. We should have learned it. I first had to defend my friend and explain to him why she knew nothing about that and why was she even there. Once that was cleared, I still had to defend myself. The whole class was confused because it was not how Michael usually reacted and, also, everybody else was also reading everything off papers. After few minutes that felt like ages, Michael told me to sit down and I never finished my presentation.
I acted all strong and just pissed off, but when I got home I started crying my eyes out. He yelled at me in front of everybody for something that wasn't my 'fault'. I told my parents what has happened, they went to school the other day and talked to my class professor and Michael. The next geography class, Michael invited me to stay a bit after class. Of course, my whole class stayed because we were noisy little creatures. He invited me closer to his desk and apologized saying "he shouldn't have reacted that way". I just said "OK, thank you".
I still have no idea what happened that day, but me and Michael were pretty good afterwards and I also called him by his first name few times in later grades. He then left our school after about 2 years. I've seen him few more times afterwards, just passing by.
What's your worst teacher/professor experience?


Many presentations with excellent content are less effective because the speaker uses notes that are either too skimpy or that contain every word of the speech. Properly used, note cards become what I call confidence cards: They add to a smooth delivery by helping speakers get from one main point to the next. Acting as cues, they contain your speech outline, notes to yourself, stories you will need to tell, key points and phrases, and reminders where to use your visual aids—anything and everything that will help you. And they save speakers from their greatest fear: forgetting what they're going to say next.
These cards—whether 3 x 5 inches or 4 x 6 inches—are easy to hold, don't rattle or shake the way larger papers do, and give an air of professionalism and preparation to your presentation. They are extensions of your own style because they only outline your speech, forcing you to talk in your own words. They also give you something to do with your hands. But you still need to practice your speech many times using the cards, or else you'll tend to go over the time limit or get off track.
Write so that you can see your information easily.
Make only short, key statements that will trigger your memory.
Number the cards once you have them all, to protect yourself from chaos if they fall off the lectern. Also, you may need to shorten your speech at the last minute, and you can do that by simply removing a few cards. If they are numbered you know just where you are at all times. To help you make last-minute decisions, try color-coding the ones you can eliminate if you need to.
Never read from the card. Glance at your notes and then speak to the audience to retain eye contact.
Note on the cards which visual aids you are using to develop the key points.
As you go through your note cards in your practice sessions, write little reminders on them: where you want to pause, where you want to smile, and so on. If you have trouble remembering to look around at the whole audience, you can use a card to remind yourself to take in all sides of the room. Confidence cards make excellent security blankets; don't hesitate to rely on them.
Confidence cards don't have to be actual cards. I've seen excellent speakers use a clip board. When I'm conducting workshops, I use a loose-leaf notebook that holds my script, which I place on a table in front of me and refer to from time to time. The purpose is to give you that confident edge and to help keep you on track.

excellent trip stunning views and tour guide /captain was very friendly, well worth the time and money to take the tour.
We had such a lovely afternoon with Ivan! There were 10 adults and 4 children the quietest I have every come across on this trip and it was idyllic - possibly because the weather was also perfect. We had 2 glasses of prosecco during the trip, which added to the enjoyment! It was exactly as described and exactly on time - start and finish. Great fun.
Great tour of a beautiful area but perhaps an hour too long. Bit disconcerting when the guide who was also steering the boat was on his phone while speeding across the lake which is very busy with other speedboats and ferries.


Botryoidal growths with intense metallic-iridescent patinas, very bright and showing strongly contrasting coloration, with dominant red, yellowish and orange shades. These growths contrast with a later phase with smaller and grayish botryoidal forms. The sample is from a famous 2007 find.
Botryoidal stalactitic aggregate with intensely metallic-iridescent patinas, very bright and showing strongly contrasting coloration, with dominant yellowish and orange shades. These growths contrast with a later phase with smaller and grayish-red botryoidal forms. The sample is from a famous 2007 find.
Extraordinarily bright botryoidal aggregate with some iridescent areas with predominant yellow and blue shades. The sample is from a locality considered a Spanish classic for Goethite, but where such bright samples with iridescent surfaces were quite rare.

Botryoidal and stalactitic Goethite growths with dappled metallic iridescences with greenish, yellowish and reddish dominant shades. The sample is from a punctual find in a mine without acces currently, so, likely no new samples will be obtained from there.
Small botryoidal growth on a matrix of the same Goethite, with iridescences of very vivid colors and predominating reddish shades. The sample, from a very unique find in 1980, it comes from a Spanish private collection.
Very aerial parallel columnar growths with strongly iridescent areas that have a dominant green color, with red and blue on the tips and on the base.
Velvet Goethite from an old classic Spanish locality which is no longer productive. All of us were there when we were younger digging and trying to get something as good as this delicate specimen.
Botryoidal and arborescent growths with intensely metallic-iridescent patinas showing strongly contrasted coloration, between pink-mauve and greenish and bluish shades. These samples have more elegant forms that those that are better known from Filón Sur, at Tharsis, and they are very rare because they appeared in the year 2008, and quickly disappeared from the mineral market.
Fine columnar aggregates with patinas forming banded areas with vivid iridescent luster and strongly contrasted shades, predominating red, green and yellow. These samples have more elegant forms that those that are better known from Filón Sur, at Tharsis, and they are very rare because they appeared in the year 2008, and quickly disappeared from the mineral market.
Botryoidal Goethite aggregates with a metallic iridescence and aggregates of small lenticular Azurite crystals and velvety aggregates of acicular Malachite crystals. We especially note the locality, now extinct, and the association of Malachite and Azurite with the Goethite.
Very well defined botryoidal, almost spheroidal, growths of grayish black Goethite with transparent Calcite crystals, with small cubic Pyrite crystals, and on matrix. The Goethite has been analyzed and we'll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer. We regret we can not provide more precise details about the locality but, as frequently happens with Chinese material, the origin remains unknown.
Small acicular Goethite crystals, very bright and with reddish reflections due to its pleochroism. They are on a matrix with Quartz crystals, some of them doubly terminated, and with small botryoidal Conichalcite aggregates. Different than most of the usual samples from the Bou Azzer area.
The iridescent Goethite from Rio Tinto is different from the Tharsis iridescent Goethite, it is not stalactitic and is much more colorful.
From an old find at the classic Rio Tinto mines, this Goethite surprises us with its rich and varied colors.

Stalactitic-botryoidal growth with intense iridescence, very bright, metallic reflections, whose dominant colors vary between red, blue and gold. These growths contrast with a later formed phase with smaller and very bright botryoidal growths. The specimen is from a recent find in Tharsis. This locality hasn't produced significant samples in the last twenty years.
Stalactitic-botryoidal growth forming curious concretions and elongated growths. With intense metallic pastel color iridescence and a later formed phase, also with intense iridescence.
A novelty from Munich 2007. Stalactitic-botryoidal growth with intense, very bright, iridescence, of dominant colors between pink and red and bluish. On the back it has laminar concretions, also iridescent, formed latterly to the botryoidal phase. The specimen is from a recent find on Tharsis (Filón Sur Mine) that hasn't produced significant samples in the last twenty years.

The colorful Goethite from Tharsis is a classic in Spain. From the find of 2007, this one is a fine example of its quality.
If the Tharsis Goethite samples are well known for their intense colors and defined stalactitic growths, La Lapilla Goethite specimens stand out because of their delicate crossed stalactitic growths and filament-like structures. Also, a highlight is the pale pastel color iridescence, whose colors vary between green, deep blue to slight pink, and gray reflections with ocher zones.
La Lapilla Mine is well known by the rich base metals "gossan", above all its high Gold content, but is not so known for Goethites.
If the Tharsis Goethite samples are well known for their intense colors and defined stalactitic growths, La Lapilla Goethite specimens stand out because of their delicate crossed stalactitic growths and very thin filament-like structures. Also, a highlight is the pale pastel color iridescence, whose colors vary between green, deep blue to slight pink, and gray reflections with ocher zones.
I will get sentimental about this one. While it is not a top quality specimen (I don't want to fool anyone into thinking it is) it was one of the first that I added to my own collection. Recently I got a better example, so I have decided to sell this one - with the original label from my collection: number F-33. I bought it during a trip to Morocco with my brother in 1974, when I did not even know what the mineral included in the Quartz was. The great collector from Barcelona, Joaquín Folch, told me that, based on the pleiocrism, they are crystals of Goethite. Anyway, apart from the history, I have always liked this one and I still think that the spray of Baryte and blobs of Quartz at the rear make it neat. As you would expect, we will send my label to the person that buys this.


I was in such a hurry that I parallel parked diagonally: one tire on the curb, the other out into the lane. I didn't mean to box in the car behind me, but I was running late and its windshield was so shattered it was no longer roadworthy.
On my way toward the church I noticed the neighborhood was in state of transition. There were Christmas wreaths, Easter egg shards, and Halloween gargoyles on every other lawn, pink papers nailed to every other door, and the windows were a mix of bars and boards.
I zigzagged down the sidewalk to avoid the dog turds, condoms, and shell casings that lined the way.
A scarecrow of a man stepped into my path. He wore a football jersey with a starter jacket tied around his waist. His hair was a bundle of straw, with a halo of split ends bleached blond by the sun. His face looked like a topographical globe in a vice: the forehead was cracked, the eyes were sunken ravines, and the lips were little mountain ranges.

The Castle of Otranto Summary
Manfred, the ruler of Otranto, is impatiently waiting for the marriage between his son Conrad and the princess Isabella, the daughter of Frederic the Marquis of Vincenza. Rumors fly about Manfred's impatience for the wedding, and the people believe that the marriage is in some way related to an ancient prophecy: "that the castle and lordship of Otranto should pass from the present family, whenever the real owner should be grown too large to inhabit it." However, on the day of the wedding, Conrad is mysteriously crushed to death by a giant helmet falling from the sky. Realizing his only heir is dead and unable to produce more sons with his own wife, Hippolita, Manfred decides to continue his line by marrying his son's fiancé Isabella.
Intending to divorce or kill Hippolita, Manfred approaches Isabella alone, proclaiming his intention to produce several sons with her. Despite her horrified protests, he grabs her, intending to rape her, but Isabella escapes, as Manfred is distracted first by the swaying feathers of the giant helmet, then by the moving portrait of his grandfather, then by his servants' reports of the appearance of a giant leg in armor. With the help of Theodore, a peasant, Isabella escapes the castle through a secret underground passageway to seek sanctuary at the church of St. Nicholas, where she is under the protection of Father Jerome.
Matilda, Manfred's daughter, is talking with her servant Bianca about the disappearance of Isabella when a servant informs them that Isabella has taken sanctuary. Meanwhile, Father Jerome is telling Hippolita and Manfred the same thing, with Jerome insinuating but not fully disclosing Manfred's crimes. However, after Hippolita dismisses herself from the conversation, Father Jerome more frankly accuses Manfred of his crimes and urges him to repent and turn to the church. Manfred, however, repeatedly refuses, and tries to convince Jerome to grant him a divorce. Fearful of the consequences of saying no, Jerome plays along. However, much to Jerome's dismay, his granting of the divorce inadvertently results in Manfred declaring a death sentence on Theodore, whom Jerome recognizes in that moment is his long-lost son.
Manfred promises Jerome his son's life only in return for Isabella, and Jerome is caught in a moral quandary. However, before he can make a decision, they are interrupted by a host of knights who carry a giant sword and who seek in the name of Frederic (Isabella's father, and the closest known relative of Alonso, the former lord of Otranto before Manfred's grandfather took power), both Isabella and rulership of Otranto. Manfred ineptly attempts to win them over, but the knights discover that Isabella is missing and race against Manfred's men to find her.
Having recognized Theodore's resemblance to Otranto's past hero and ruler Alfonso, Matilda frees Theodore from her father's imprisonment, and they fall in love. In order to escape Manfred's wrath and to search for adventure, Theodore decides to protect Isabella and finds her in a cave, where he defends her from a knight. Yet the knight, whom Theodore wounds, turns out to be Isabella's father Frederic.
Theodore, Frederic, and Isabella return to the castle, where Frederic recovers and falls in love with Matilda. Frederic explains how he came to be in Otranto: after being captured by infidels in the Crusades, he had a vision warning him that his daughter was in danger. The vision led him to a forest in Joppa, where he met a hermit who led him to a giant sword buried in the earth. Inscribed onto the sword is a prophecy stating that Isabella can be saved only by Alfonso's blood where the giant sabre's matching helmet is found.
After Frederic finishes his story, Manfred arrives and suddenly notices the remarkable resemblance between Theodore and Alfonso. After questioning Theodore's origins, Theodore reveals how he too came to be in Otranto: at a young age, he was kidnapped and enslaved by pirates, left only with a document from his mother proving that Jerome, the Count of Falconara, is his father. After being freed by Christians two years earlier, he searched unsuccessfully for his father and wandered into Otranto, where he worked as a farmhand.
The next day, Manfred tries to secure Isabella's hand in marriage by leveraging Frederic's attraction to Matilda. He proposes a double marriage, in which Frederic and Manfred will marry each other's daughters. Frederic is greatly tempted both by the possibility of having Matilda and Otranto, and the only obstacle is securing Hippolita's consent to divorce, which Manfred easily obtains. However, when the ghost of the hermit haunts Frederic for forgetting his mission and for choosing lust over heavenly will, Frederic, though still sorely tempted, decides not to go through with the double marriage.
Manfred, enraged at Frederic's change of heart, becomes even angrier when one of his spies informs him that Theodore is meeting a lady in Alfonso's tomb. Believing that Isabella is having an affair with Theodore, Manfred sneaks into the tomb and stabs her, only to discover that it is Matilda, his daughter, whom he has fatally wounded. Despite her impending death, Matilda is deeply devoted to both her mother and father until the end.
Parts of the castle walls fall down behind Manfred, and a great image of Alfonso appears, declaring that Theodore is his true heir. Manfred, struck with sorrow and remorse, reveals that his grandfather had usurped the throne from Alfonso, and Jerome reveals that Theodore is Alfonso's grandson. After Manfred abdicates, he and Hippolita retire to become a monk and a nun in nearby convents. Frederic renounces his claim to Otranto and offers Isabella's hand in marriage to Theodore.
