I added a new page with this shortcode [bbp-forum-index] for the forums but freaky the default site "footer level 1 and level 2 widget" disappeared; however when I click the Topic link go to the Topic page is fine showing both footers?
Can anyone help me how to fix the forum index page to populate the footer?
I finally get to the point the site is view-able: Here is the page where you can see the 3 different footer(s) are missing on the forums page?
ok, I can se a page with a footer or two.
If the link still not working on your side? Here is the footers that are missing, please see picture.
Let see this image will be clear for you or not? For the forums page it doesn't show the 2 widgets, Please compare IMAGE 1 and IMAGE 2, (I CIRCLED IN RED).
ok, I can now see the issue, and have looked at both a forum page and a non forum page.
From the web browser tools available to me, I can't immediately see what the core issue is.
I tried this [bbp-topic-index], it got worst, the whole forums are now gone using this shortcode? It say no topic (blank page)? What will it cause it not showing nothing?
I just found and tried this shortcode as well [bbp-forum-form], no luck on the widget neither?
I wasn't worried about what was showing in the body, I was only interested in whether the widget in the footer disappeared.
Can you confirm that it does with both the codes you tried?
Correct, both shortcodes I tried it doesn't show the widget?


Technology is a catalyst for change in all areas of business and economic markets, and the property market is just one part of this revolution. New technology is impacting many facets of the property market, from how property is marketed and sold to the areas that are most in demand.
As industry becomes more mechanised and more and more jobs are able to be carried out remotely thanks to the internet and communications technology, people no longer necessarily need to live in concentrated urban areas. Whereas the industrial revolution brought people from rural areas to large urban centres to work in factories and other production centres, the technological revolution is allowing a change in the other direction.
In recent years, people have been able to move away from London to other cities in the UK, where the cost of living is much lower. Cities like Norwich represent better value for money and a chance to invest in property that would otherwise be out of financial reach.
The rise of telecommuting and remote working has also impacted the commercial property market, with a reduced need for office space for businesses. There has also been a rise in the availability of co-working and shared office space.
Of course, the internet has completely changed how we look for and find property to purchase. While high street estate agents still exist, it is now possible to locate suitable property around the country from the comfort of your living room or even on the move using your phone.
It's possible to view photos, floorplans and even take virtual tours of property online. New technology including virtual reality may even further enhance this process in the coming years.
Online agents are also increasingly using chatbots to improve the customer service process. This technology is a great way to attract and engage potential investors, and can result in higher lead conversions.
The rise of cryptocurrencies and the technology that drives it, Blockchain, is potentially changing the way that we all pay for property or maker large investments. It is already possible to buy property using Bitcoin and there are all sorts of potentially new ways for making transactions in the future.
Technology is impacting on every part of our lives, and the real estate market is no different. Some changes will be small, and some will revolutionise the way the whole market works.

A Conversation with Director Rebecca Kirsh – Real to Reel Film Festival
Posted on August 16, 2020 August 18, 2020 by thomasmanningmovies
"Reel Conversations" highlights filmmakers behind official Real to Reel Film Festival Selections.
On this episode of "Reel Conversations," Thomas Manning speaks with Rebecca Kirsh, the co-director of the short film, "A Mind's Eye." A very personal project for Kirsh, she seeks to tell a story about one of her greatest fears: blindness. In this film, a man must somehow find his way out of the darkness, learning to appreciate his four remaining senses in new ways, and focus on the everlasting bond of love
Thomas Manning: Just to start things off, if you want to share a little bit about your background in filmmaking, and what has led you to where you are right now making "A Mind's Eye."
Rebecca Kirsh: I've been making films since I was nine years old, which mostly included home videos around the house and with my friends. Later on, I started taking classes with Movie Makers in Durham, North Carolina, with director/creator, Melissa Lozoff. So that team consists of a group of kids, all coming together and learning the various aspects of film production. At the time, I was really into acting, so I was kind of focusing more on that. But, when I started college, I decided to major in film, and started doing more behind the scenes work. And I really thought I had a knack for directing because of my interest in acting – I think it kind of goes hand-in-hand. They say the best directors also know how to act because they can communicate with their actors. So, I spent four years at UNC Greensboro, majoring in film. And since then, I've been freelancing (working full time now), shooting and editing commercials and similar videos. So that's what I've been doing professionally, and then on the side I've been doing short films, like "A Mind's Eye."
Thomas Manning: Looking specifically to "A Mind's Eye," there is so much going on, at both a technical and narrative level. With basically no dialogue, it's all visual storytelling, with phenomenal sound mixing and an excellent literal "needle drop" as well. What was the decision in choosing the music track here?
Rebecca Kirsh: This film was originally created for a contest a few years ago, and it featured music from Adam Young, of the band Owl City. But we had someone else (Noah Balamucki) come in and rescore the film for this cut. So in terms of the needle drop, this was done in post-production. Everything you hear is foley.
Thomas Manning: You oversaw the editing on this film as well, correct?
Rebecca Kirsh: I was one of the editors, but because we were developing this film for a contest, we had very little time in the editing bay. And [Director of Photography, Will Huang], actually did most of the editing for the original cut. Along with [Co-Director, Ben West], I met with Will and gave him notes for the edit. But on the second go-round in this recut of the film, there's a scene that I added back in because it was one my favorites that didn't make the first cut. I felt like it really belonged. So for this second cut in particular, I was essentially the assistant editor and was much more involved in overseeing the process compared to the first cut a couple years ago.
Thomas Manning: Your main actor, Jess Perry, produces an absolutely marvelous performance. What were some of the things you really appreciated about what he was able to bring to the table?
Rebecca Kirsh: You know, it's funny because originally we had cast somebody else, and at the very last minute, he got a SAG gig, and couldn't do "A Mind's Eye." And Jess was recommended to us by somebody that we knew, and he just jumped in there and did it with maybe a week's notice. He's just really talented actor and was completely prepared. I gave him a little talk before the shoot to just explain some bits and pieces that may have been kind of missing from the puzzle, because we hadn't had an initial meet and greet the way we did for other actors. But he just knew his stuff. I really enjoyed working with him because he made my job really easy.
L-R: Kirsh, directing Perry behind-the-scenes on the production of "A Mind's Eye."
Thomas Manning: What does it mean to have the film festival circuit for you to showcase your film to a wider audience that might not get a chance to see it otherwise?
Rebecca Kirsh: It really means a lot to me, to have our films viewed by not only judges for film festivals, but also audiences. And even in the time of COVID, festivals are still finding ways to show our film, which is really fascinating.
Thomas Manning: Anything else that you want to share regarding the production of the film that maybe I didn't get to?
Rebecca Kirsh: I just really enjoyed working on it. I tend to gravitate towards dark subject matter, and this was literally and figuratively a very dark story that I wanted to tell. I hope I can do more projects like this in the future.
Thomas Manning: And if people want to keep up with your work in the future, where can they find you? Whether it be social media or maybe a website you have?
Rebecca Kirsh: My website is Rebeccakirsh.com. Also, on Facebook, our film's page can be found under "A Mind's Eye."
The Cleveland County Arts Council will host films like "A Mind's Eye" for the 21st Annual "Real to Reel International Film Festival." The festival will be fully online this year through Seed & Spark due to the COVID-19 pandemic, featuring official selections Sept. 9 – Oct. 9, 2020.
For over two decades, Real to Reel has showcased thought-provoking films from around the world and offers opportunities for cinema-lovers to embrace the independent vision of this unique art form.
For more information, visit the Real to Reel International Film Festival website.
Thomas Manning is a member of the NCFA, and also the co-host of the television show and radio program "Meet Me at the Movies." He has served as a production assistant and voting member on the Film Selection Committee for the Real to Reel Film Festival. He is currently studying film, television, and English at Gardner-Webb University.

The prefix 61 is the area code for Huíla. And Huíla is located in Angola. If you are outside United States of America and you want to call a person in Huíla, in addition to the area code, you need the country code for the country you wish to call. The country code for United States of America is +244, so if you are in United States of America and you want to call a person in Huíla, you have to prefix that person's phone number with +244 61.
As an alternative to +244 61, which you have to place in front of the telephone number of a person in Huíla in order to call them from United States of America, you can also use 011244 61.

My initial goal with blogging was to have a post up every Friday. I haven't checked back, but I feel like that has been the case. I can't remember not having a post up on Friday, although, I have cheated some and published my Friday post a few hours before it was technically Friday. Well, this week might be my first; I won't have a post for Friday. I could just delete everything I just wrote, start again, and omit that fact, making this my Friday post… Now I am just thinking too much about this whole thing.
On another note, I am really looking forward to this weekend. The weather will be keeping the guys in my life home from the last youth hunt of the season, and what better way to enjoy the time together than to see the Harlem Globetrotters? I got some tickets from a radio giveaway earlier this week and can't be happier. Free things that are fun, and require a day in the BIG city are always great!
I have plenty to do on Friday, and this week blogging won't be one of them. Hope you all have a great weekend!
It was a lot of fun! However, those free tickets ended up being the most expensive as far as giveaways go.
Thanks! Weekends are always the best.
Blog when the mood strikes! Blog, blog and blog…people will come and comment 🙂 Best Wishes.
Thank you! I think those posts that happen when the mood strikes are sometimes the best.

Q: Why does CocoaPods target have build settings? Why do our CocoaPods targets have different build settings than our actual project target settings? Shouldn't it just have project target settings? How does it work when our project is being compiled; does the compiler look at the CocoaPods settings or just our project target settings? If so, then what is the purpose of CocoaPods having its own build settings?

A: CocoaPods generally are built as a framework in iOS, and frameworks can have different settings than the main application, and are built as a separate bundle. Every compile-unit (more or less "source file") can also have its own settings (at least in ObjC; I've never tried that in Swift).
There are lots of reasons to have different compile settings for different parts of the program, and specifically for third-party code. For example, you might want to compile third-party code with a higher optimization level and debug stripping if you don't plan to debug that portion. I personally turn off all warnings in third-party code.
It's not as common anymore, but during the ARC transition it was very common to compile some of the program with ARC and some without. As Swift evolves, you should expect it become more common for libraries to be written in source-incompatible versions of Swift that require different settings.

Prevalence Of Obesity In The U.S. Remains Very High
August 18, 2012 By pmdaily Leave a Comment
About 66% of adults and 33% of children in the United States are overweight or obese, according to the last studies performed on the prevalence of this public health problem in the U.S. During the last three decades the progress towards diminishing the burden of obesity, if any, has been minimal.
What can we do to treat this epidemic and decrease the prevalence of obesity and overweight? To formally attack the problem, a good knowledge of its causes or associated factors is warranted.
According to a recent report from the Institute Of Medicine (IOM), there is increasing evidence that the obesity epidemic has its origin in a complex interaction of changing factors in:
Food and beverage systems
Workplaces, and
The previous approach is evidently giving more importance to environmental issues than to personal decisions – individual choices –, like the exposure to several risk factors. But obesity is not just a consequence of individual choice, but a response to an obesogenic environment that promotes weight gain.
Currently, there is enough base of evidence that there are specific environmental determinants of obesity to be taken into account in the design of an effective set of prevention strategies, trying not to stigmatize obese people even more.
Obesity is a very important risk factor for multiple and serious diseases. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of premature death. This is why the very high obesity rates are potentially catastrophic for the population health of the United States.
Report from Trust for America's Health:
Analysis of Obesity Rates by State
Twelve states currently have an adult obesity rate above 30 percent, according to a new analysis released by the Trust for America's Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). The analysis used the state obesity rates released made available by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Mississippi had the highest rate of obesity at 34.9 percent, while Colorado had the lowest rate at 20.7 percent. Twenty-six of the 30 states with the highest obesity rates are in the Midwest and South.
"Obesity has contributed to a stunning rise in chronic disease rates and health care costs. It is one of the biggest health crises the country has ever faced," said Jeffrey Levi, PhD, TFAH executive director. "The good news is that we have a growing body of evidence and approaches that we know can help reduce obesity, improve nutrition and increase physical activity based on making healthier choices easier for Americans. The bad news is we're not investing anywhere near what we need to in order to bend the obesity curve and see the returns in terms of health and savings."
Later this summer, TFAH and RWJF will release the 2012 edition of F as in Fat, the annual report that analyzes state obesity rates and policy efforts to address the epidemic, and provides policy recommendations. For the first time, the 2012 report will include a study that forecasts 2030 obesity rates in each state and the likely resulting rise in obesity-related disease rates and health care costs. The analysis also will examine the potential impact of a 5 percent reduction in body mass index (BMI) levels and the number of Americans who could be spared from type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke, hypertension, arthritis and obesity-related cancers if they were able to achieve that reduction. Additionally, the projection will feature the cost savings that could be achieved in each state as a result of a 5 percent BMI reduction. For a six-foot-tall person weighing 200 pounds, a 5 percent reduction in BMI would be the equivalent of losing roughly 10 pounds.
In 2006, obesity-related medical costs totaled $147 billion a year, or nearly 10 percent of total medical spending, according to a 2011 study in Health Affairs. The bulk of the spending is generated from treating obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes.
"Our nation has made important inroads to creating healthier communities," said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MBA, RWJF president and CEO. "Some cities and states that have taken comprehensive action to address the epidemic are beginning to see declines in their obesity rates. But we need to expand and intensify our efforts. Investing in prevention today will mean a healthier tomorrow for our children."
In recognition of the dramatic health and financial consequences of obesity, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) earlier this year released a comprehensive report that outlined strategies for reversing the epidemic and called on everyone to advance those strategies. The IOM committee, made up of nutritionists, public health experts, and leaders from the public, private and nonprofit sectors, called for a focused commitment to: making physical activity an integral and routine part of life, creating food and beverage environments that ensure that healthy food and beverage options are the routine, easy choice, transforming messages about physical activity and nutrition, expanding the role of health care providers, insurers and employers in obesity prevention, and making schools a national focal point for obesity prevention.
STATE-BY-STATE ADULT OBESITY RATES
According to the newly released CDC data, part of the 2011 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, the obesity rates by state from highest to lowest were:
1. Mississippi (34.9%); 2. Louisiana (33.4%); 3. West Virginia (32.4%); 4. Alabama (32.0%); 5. Michigan (31.3%); 6. Oklahoma (31.1%); 7. Arkansas (30.9%); 8. (tie) Indiana (30.8%); and South Carolina (30.8%); 10. (tie) Kentucky (30.4%); and Texas (30.4%); 12. Missouri (30.3%); 13. (tie) Kansas (29.6%); and Ohio (29.6%); 15. (tie) Tennessee (29.2%); and Virginia (29.2%); 17. North Carolina (29.1%); 18. Iowa (29.0%); 19. Delaware (28.8%); 20. Pennsylvania (28.6%); 21. Nebraska (28.4%); 22. Maryland (28.3%); 23. South Dakota (28.1%); 24. Georgia (28.0%); 25. (tie) Maine (27.8%); and North Dakota (27.8%); 27. Wisconsin (27.7%); 28. Alaska (27.4%): 29. Illinois (27.1%); 30. Idaho (27.0%); 31. Oregon (26.7%); 32. Florida (26.6%); 33. Washington (26.5%); 34. New Mexico (26.3%); 35. New Hampshire (26.2%); 36. Minnesota (25.7%); 37. (tie) Rhode Island (25.4%); and Vermont (25.4%); 39. Wyoming (25.0%); 40. Arizona (24.7%); 41. Montana (24.6%); 42. (tie) Connecticut (24.5%); Nevada (24.5%); and New York (24.5%); 45. Utah (24.4%); 46. California (23.8%); 47. (tie) District of Columbia (23.7%); and New Jersey (23.7%); 49. Massachusetts (22.7%); 50. Hawaii (21.8%); 51. Colorado (20.7%).
Note: 1 = Highest rate of adult obesity, 51 = lowest rate of adult obesity. Individuals with a body mass index (a calculation based on weight and height ratios) of 30 or higher are considered obese.
CDC has modernized the methodology for BRFSS this year, setting a new baseline for comparisons. The updated approach, incorporating cell phones and using an iterative proportional fitting data weighting method, means rates are even more reflective of each states' population, but that the rates were determined in a different way than in the past, making direct change comparisons difficult. The full data set can be found at: http://www.cdc.gov/brfss/technical_infodata/surveydata/2011.htm.

Abraham Wald is one of the figures who keeps popping up in HOW NOT TO BE WRONG. I just learned yet another cool thing about him which doesn't have a place in the book, so I'm putting it here.
You know Heron's formula, which gives you the area of a triangle in terms of the lengths of its edges. And there's a generalization: the Cayley-Menger determinant is a formula for the volume of an n-simplex in terms of its edge lengths.
What about other kinds of faces? The volume of a tetrahedron is determined by the six edge lengths, but not by the areas of its four faces. Imagine four identical isosceles right triangles formed into a flattened tetrahedron that's really just one square laid on top of another; that tetrahedron has volume 0, but a regular tetrahedron with faces of the same area obviously has positive volume.
What about a 4-simplex? The lengths of the 10 edges determine the volume. So you might guess that the areas of the 10 2-faces would give you a way to compute the volume, too. But nope! Wald gave an example of two 4-simplices with the same face-areas but different volume. I wonder what the space of 4-simplices with fixed face-areas looks like.
Generically the space must be finite, right? The edge lengths identify the space of 4-simplices with an open set in R^10, so the map from this space to the 2-face areas must be generically finite-to-one unless the 2-face areas satisfy some polynomial identity (surely that can't be true but I've not checked it – should be enough to pick a random 4-simplex and perturb it infinitesimally). There might still be interesting positive-dimensional fibers, though.

Profit margin scheme – eligible goods – VAT Public Clarification
It is important that businesses properly identify those goods which qualify to be sold under the profit margin scheme, in the context of transitional periods where 'second hand' goods may not have been subject to VAT prior to implementation of VAT in the UAE.
Only those goods which have previously been subject to VAT before the supply in question may be subject to the profit margin scheme. As a result, stock on hand of used goods which were acquired prior to the effective date of Federal Decree-Law No. (8) on Value Added Tax ("VAT law"), or which have not previously been subject to VAT for other reasons, are not eligible to be sold under the profit margin scheme.
VAT is therefore due on the full selling price of such goods.
Detailed discussion
Goods which qualify to be supplied under the profit margin scheme
Only certain goods are eligible to be supplied under the profit margin scheme. Those goods are listed below, but may only be supplied under the scheme where they were subject to VAT before the supply which shall be subject to the profit margin scheme:
Second hand goods, meaning tangible moveable property that is suitable for further use as it is or after repair;
Antiques i.e. goods that are over 50 years old;
Collectors' items i.e. stamps, coins, currency and other pieces of scientific, historical or archaeological interest.
Conditions to apply the profit margin scheme
A VAT registered business may apply the profit margin scheme to eligible goods in the following circumstances:
1. The goods must have been purchased from either:
A person who is not registered for VAT; or
A taxable person who calculated VAT on the supply by reference to the profit margin i.e. a VAT registered business which already applied the profit margin scheme on the same goods.
2. The taxable person made a supply of the goods where input tax was not recovered in accordance with Article 53 of Cabinet Decision No. 52 of 2017.
A taxable person will not be allowed to apply the profit margin scheme in such cases where he has issued a tax invoice or any other document mentioning an amount of VAT chargeable in respect of the supply.
Goods purchased prior to the introduction of VAT
As mentioned above, it is a requirement of Article 29(2) of Cabinet Decision No. 52 of 2017 that the goods which are eligible to be sold under the profit margin scheme are those which have previously been subject to tax. As a result, goods which would ordinarily be eligible to be included within the scheme, but which were purchased during a period in which they would not have been subject to VAT, are not eligible for the scheme.
If a good was purchased in….. ….and the original purchase was…. ….. then….
2017 or earlier Not subject to VAT The good is not eligible to be sold under the profit margin scheme and VAT should be applied to the full selling price
2018 or later From a supplier who did not charge VAT on the supply, and the good may have been purchased in a period prior to the effective date of VAT The good is not eligible to be sold under the profit margin scheme and VAT should be applied to the full selling price unless evidence is available to show the good had been subject to VAT on an earlier supply
2018 or later From a supplier and it is known that the good would have been purchased by the supplier in a period after the effective date of VAT The good is eligible to be sold under the profit margin scheme where you have evidence to show that the good has been subject to VAT on an earlier supply
Evidence that a good was subject to tax previously
As mentioned above, a supplier should be confident that a good has previously been subject to tax in order to apply the profit margin scheme. Such evidence or information of this position could include but is not limited to:
Information relating to the date the good was first manufactured, sold or brought in to use e.g. in the case of a car, the date the car was first registered would indicate its sale would have been subject to VAT if it was registered on a date after 1 January 2018;
Evidence that the supplier paid VAT on their original purchase e.g. by asking the supplier for a copy of the tax invoice relating to their purchase of the good.
