OC Band Greer Breaks Down Societal Constructs with Music
Greer – photo by Lindsey Byrnes
By Simone Goldstone | NB Indy Soundcheck Columnist
Fresh-faced Orange County band Greer appeared on the Southern California music scene in 2018. Since then, their sincerity and musical vulnerability has helped them secure a record deal with Epitaph Records, sell out a nationwide tour, and become a need-to-know up-and-coming band.
Greer is named after the courageous and internet-famous Emma Greer, who passed away after a fight with pediatric cancer. She was the girlfriend of Greer drummer, Lucas.
The band's guitarist, Corbin, lived in Newport Beach and fondly recalled teenage nights spent jumping off the Balboa pier, hanging out at the Fun Zone, and spending time on Duffy boats.
Each member cites Orange County as the best place to be raised. "We had the best childhood. It was the perfect place to grow up in."
The band consists of lead singer Josiah, guitarist Corbin, drummer Lucas, and the bassist, Seth. In many ways, they're like any other present-day OC teens. They grew up with social media, got into music from their parents, or in Corbin's case, playing cello in the school orchestra.
They listened to a mix of modern and classic music (Pixies and King Kruel), loved learning about Orange County's punk history, and hung out in the OC music scene. After forming a band to play at a high school homecoming dance, their music was such a hit that they played L.A.'s iconic venue The Smell just a month later.
After releasing their debut singles, "Song for Me" and "Bittersweet," their fan base transformed them from a local band into a group that toured nationally with The Regrettes.
"They're the best band to have your first tour with," Josiah gushes.
Coming into their own at shockingly young ages, barely out of their late teens, they've released their EP "Lullaby for You," which showcases five songs of unguarded heartache, romantic angst, and self-reflections that act to comfort their listeners through this period of generational upheaval.

It's the group's relatability and unabashed openness with personal struggles that make the band both authentic and on trend at the same time. This creates a great mix of being both approachable and something of a role-model that fans can look up to.
And what is this trend that this new generation is trying to establish? Emotional vulnerability, especially for guys, who for many generations didn't talk about their feelings at all. It's this breaking down of masculine concepts that's endearing the band to their fans and audiences.
"We're all pretty [messed up] from generations not talking about their feelings. It's the cool guy concept," agreed the band members. "We all had upbringings where we were encouraged to talk about our emotions. We're hoping that the message gets through to young boys that you don't have to be cool."
Lucas acts as a sage for many fans who experienced grief. After losing his girlfriend, Emma, he talks openly about navigating his feelings and finding the good in crisis. "Grief is a really individual process and it's about how prepared you are and making preparations beforehand if possible," said Lucas. "It'll never really end, but it becomes more normal and there's a positive no matter what."
It's this self-awareness and eagerness to help their fans that sets this band apart and shapes the new generation to extend empathy and compassion in a world rocked by so many upheavals these past few years.
Musically, the group's catchy songs are inspired by myriad influences, ranging from the Beatles (after a friendly debate of who is the superior Beatle), to Rio Kiley. Their songs are catchy, refreshing, experimental, and nostalgic. You can hear the band trying out different sounds and themes as they carve out their musical identity. Wonderfully contemporary and yet familiar, the band has a lot to be proud of and a brilliant future waiting.
As the band explains, "we're still figuring out what we want to say and how to say it."
With so much maturity, talent, and willingness to improve, Greer has become the up-and-coming local band to know, or maybe they've already arrived. With a genuine earnestness that's irresistibly captivating, I can't wait to hear their first full-length album and see them at their much-anticipated live shows.

In the early twenty-first century, nationalism has seen a surprising resurgence across the Western world. In the Catalan Autonomous Community in northeastern Spain, this resurgence has been most apparent in widespread support for Catalonia's pro-independence movement, and the popular assertion of Catalan symbols, culture and identity in everyday life. Nourishing the Nation provides an ethnographic account of the everyday experience of national identity in Catalonia, using an essential, everyday object of consumption: food. As a crucial element of Catalan cultural life, a focus on food provides unique insight into the lived realities of Catalan nationalism, and how Catalans experience and express their national identity today.
Venetia Johannes is a post-doctoral research affiliate at the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, University of Oxford. She was co-editor of the recently The Emergence of National Food: The Dynamics of Food and Nationalism (Bloomsbury, 2019), and has published chapters and articles on Catalonia, food, nationalism, and heritage.

The sixth season of Dexter picks up about a year after events on the season five finale.
We learn that LaGuerta and Batista are divorced, as she's been promoted via blackmail and is recommending him to take over as Lieutenant.
We also learn that Dexter has purchased the apartment next to him and is using Batista's sister as his nanny. Dex seems more relaxed than ever, killing at will and accepting that this is who he is. We'd led through his high school reunion, for example, which ends in him taking out a former classmate who killed his wife.
We also see Quinn in the bathroom of a bar, preparing to propose to Deb, only for an intruder to enter the establishment and Deb to take him out. Someone catches it on camera phone.
Finally, we meet Professor Gellar and his protege. They arrange a murder in which they slice open a man and leave seven snakes inside of him. The crime scene intrigues Dexter - who also wants to get Harrison in to a private, Catholic school, even though he's a non-believer - and we later see Gellar saying "it's begun."

Blog: Five Easy Ways to Save | Exelby & Partners Ltd.
Where does my money go? Do I have enough income to cover my monthly expenses? How can I save more?
These are a few of the questions you may ask yourself every month.
The best way to answer this is by tracking your monthly spending. Tracking every dollar you spend each month for a minimum of six months will give you a better idea of how you can save. For an example of what an expense form looks like, we have an example in our forms section on our website. Tracking your spending not only benefits you but also your family. First and foremost, make sure you have paid all of your monthly living expenses such as your rent/mortgage, utilities etc. Once this is in place you can work on your savings, but how?
1. Understand and research your monthly expenses.
Cell phones, internet, and cable are growing industries. Many packages include features that you do not use or will ever use. There is a lot of competition also in these industries, shop around for what is best for you and your family.
2. Need vs. Want: Look carefully at your spending habits.
Identify what you probably do not need to purchase or spend money on. When you get into this habit, you will learn quickly what is really considered a need or a want.
3. Make lists and set budgets for gifts, travel spending and/or meals.
Set a limit for each item and stick to it. Once you complete these lists, it will give you an understanding of which purchases should be a priority and which are not, allowing you to eliminate irrelevant purchases. If you overspent during the holidays, try to combat the aftermath by strictly budgeting your new year to avoid overspending again.
4. Eliminate small, daily purchases that can add up.
Do I spend too much money on items like coffee? These kinds of expenses can get out of hand very quickly. Many people look at it as $2.00 per day, but after a month, you have spent $60.00 that could have been put into savings. This does not mean that you cannot have your coffee. It just means that you may want to cut down a bit or make coffee at home.
5. Cut spending on dining out and entertainment.
How much did you spend last month on lunch out with friends or dinner with family? If you do a comparison, you'd probably be able to purchase a whole week of groceries with a portion of the cost of eating out. It doesn't mean you shouldn't treat yourself to a dinner out with friends and family, but it is important to be selective and ensure you have the funds to spend on meals and entertainment.
If your goal is to save, look at the ways that you can cut other spending. Remember that the savings may not seem like a lot of money at first but as time goes on, it will gradually increase. If you can save even a minimal of $10.00 per week, you can have $520.00 after a year without even noticing such a small amount.
The ultimate key here is tracking your spending and you will figure it out very soon.

The capability that a bacterium acquires to counteract an inhibitory chemical molecule or compound that was formerly effective in killing it or preventing its growth. Antibiotic resistance in bacteria (Fig. 1) is a hot topic in the media and in scientific and health care settings worldwide. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes antibiotic-resistant bacteria as "nightmare bacteria" that pose a catastrophic threat to people in every country in the world. It is estimated that 2 million people in the United States become infected by resistant bacteria each year. The CDC indicates that at least 23,000 people die per year as a direct result of antibiotic-resistant infections, with more individuals dying because of complications that occur as a result of these infections. The CDC classifies three types of infections as urgent threats to public health: (1) carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE); (2) drug-resistant gonorrhea; and (3) Clostridium difficile, which is linked to serious diarrheal illnesses associated with antibiotic use. The current status of antibiotic resistance worldwide needs to be investigated meticulously, and ways must be found to halt its progression.

Another week has gone by – can you believe it? January is almost half over! While I definitely feel myself "slowing down" a bit, I'm still trying to keep up with my goals for 2014.
We are still waiting for the state to show up at work, which kinda throws me off. It has helped me with packing my lunch most days because I know that if they come I won't be able to go out to get lunch. In fact, today was the first day this year that I bought my lunch (and it was yummy, too!).
I was 781 net calories under my weekly goal. Whew! This is mostly because I worked out like a crazy fool last week.
My macronutrients balance was 47% carbohydrates, 35% fat and 18% protein. A pretty good mix!
I was 55 grams over my fat goal for the week, but under my saturated fat goal by 9 grams – so mostly "good" fats.
I was over my sodium goal by 6641 mg – eeeeek. And as usual I was under my potassium goal. Seriously, does anyone meet their potassium goal? I need to be more of a veggie-saurus!
I was under my carbohydrate goal, including fiber by 88 grams.
I was under my protein goal by 106 grams.
I met 92% of my goal for vitamin A, 239% of my goal for vitamin C (I took Emergen-C because my husband was coming down with a cold and I didn't want to catch it!), 63% of my goal for calcium, and 78% of my goal for iron.
Being almost half a day's worth of calories under my goal for the week definitely attributed to some deficiencies in the macronutrients and micronutrients this week. I haven't been consuming a lot of dairy products lately, either, which will help out with my calcium intake.
Buy a fitness class punch card for 10 classes each month and attend 10 fitness classes each month. I have gone to 4 Zumba classes so far this month!
Run at least three times per week. Boom! Done!
No eating out on Wednesdays unless it is a special occasion or we are out of town. Almost forgot about this one this week… but I stuck to my goal!
Post a "What I Ate Wednesday" blog at least twice per month. I've already posted two this month!
Cut down on drinking diet pop and eventually give it up – possibly for Lent? I drank more diet pop this week, but definitely have cut back from what I was doing before.
Cut out artificial sweeteners as much as possible. The only artificial sweetener that I had was in the diet pop I drank this week.
Make my lunch for work at least 3/5 days per week. I am pretty sure I brought my lunch every day this past week.
Use MyFitnessPal and post a weekly summary at least once per month to this blog. That's what I am doing right now – #2 for this month!
Do Project 365 (take a picture every day) and post a weekly summary to this blog. I had a harder time w/ this over the weekend, but I am keeping up with it and I posted a weekly summary.
Go to church with Ken's family at least once per month. I have gone twice this month.
Read the Bible. I started reading the Bible and have continued to read it, but I am going to change my approach now that I have met with someone at church to start RCIA.
Start RCIA in the fall. So things have changed and now you can start RCIA anytime… so I started yesterday and will be meeting with someone from church once a month during my period of "inquiry" until I am ready for the Rite of Acceptance, then I will become a catechumen and my journey towards baptism will officially begin! The plan is for me to be baptized at Easter Vigil 2015.

Q: Picker interfere with onTapGesture I want to clarify I've searched for an answer but didn't find anything useful.
I've already posted this question, but I've modified it since I provided the code with an image instead of using text.
I have the following code:
struct TimeChoiceView: View {

    @State var buttonText = "None"
    @State var isPressed = false
    var text : String = "SomeView"

    var body: some View{
        VStack{
            HStack{
                VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 20){
                    Text(text).padding(EdgeInsets(top: 0, leading: 15, bottom: 0, trailing: 0)).font(.system(size: 14))
                }
                Spacer()
                VStack(alignment: .trailing){
                        Text(buttonText).padding(EdgeInsets(top: 0, leading: 0, bottom: 0, trailing: 15)).foregroundColor(.gray).font(.system(size: 14)).onTapGesture {
                            self.isPressed = !self.isPressed
                            self.buttonText = self.buttonText == "None" ? "Undo" : "None"
                        }
                }
            }
            HStack {
                if isPressed {
                    TimeChoice()
                }
            }
        }
    }

}

In this view, TimeChoice is a Picker implemented with this code:
struct TimeChoice: View{
    @State var hours: Int = 8
    @State var minutes: Int = 30

    var body: some View {
                HStack {
                    Spacer()
                    Picker("", selection: $hours){
                        ForEach(0..<23, id: \.self) { i in
                            Text("\(i)").tag(i)
                        }
                    }.pickerStyle(WheelPickerStyle()).frame(width: 50, height: 70).clipped()
                    Text(":")
                    Picker("", selection: $minutes){
                        ForEach(0..<60, id: \.self) { i in
                            Text(i < 10 ? "0\(i)" : "\(i)").tag(i)
                        }
                        }.pickerStyle(WheelPickerStyle()).frame(width: 50, height: 70).clipped()
                    Spacer()
                }
    }
}

The appearence of the picker is triggered by onTapGesture method in TimeChoiceView, but as you can see, trying to pressing again on the Undo button does not trigger the related action. I can set the picker, but not the button. I have reason to think this is linked to .onTapGesture method interfering with the picker, since this only happens as soon as I press the button and the picker disappear. Has anyone experienced such behaviour?

A: The issue is that in provided code Picker overlaps button when opened (even being visually clipped), so handle all tap events.
The solution is place button panel above optionally shown pickers view. Tested with Xcode 11.4 / iOS 13.4
var body: some View{
    VStack{
        HStack{
            VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 20){
                Text(text).padding(EdgeInsets(top: 0, leading: 15, bottom: 0, trailing: 0)).font(.system(size: 14))
            }
            Spacer()
            VStack(alignment: .trailing){
                    Text(buttonText).padding(EdgeInsets(top: 0, leading: 0, bottom: 0, trailing: 15)).foregroundColor(.gray).font(.system(size: 14))
                    .onTapGesture {
                        self.isPressed.toggle()
                        self.buttonText = self.buttonText == "None" ? "Undo" : "None"
                    }
            }
        }.zIndex(1)          // << here !!
        HStack {
            if isPressed {
                TimeChoice()
            }
        }
    }
}

Wings Season 4
Get set to laugh as the classic fourth season of Wings has arrived from Paramount Home Entertainment.
Set on Nantucket Island, the series followed the exploits of Sandpiper Airlines, a small one plane operation that commutes between the Island and Boston as well as other points of interest. The airline is owned by Joe Hackett (Timothy Daly), who is a stickler for details and a solid if unexciting individual.
The laughs start to fly when the supporting cast comes into play, as the characters all have a very interesting history. There is Helen (Crystal Bernard). an aspiring Cellist who runs the airport lunch counter. She has been friends with Brian and Joe since childhood but was hampered by her weight which she has recently lost in becoming a very attractive lady. Then there is Lowell (Thomas Hayden Church), the simple, yet eccentric mechanic, who is a whiz with planes as he is with oddball saying and situations.
Rounding out the cast are Rebecca Schull as Faye, a former airline hostess who has buried her past three husbands, and who runs the counter at Sandpiper, and Roy Biggins, (David Schramm), who owns a much larger airline chain that competes with Sandpiper
The season opens following the plane crash that has left the brothers as well as Lowell, Faith, Helen and Roy stranded in the ocean. In no time things go from bad to worse with hilarious consequences. As the season progresses, we get to see Roy make his singing debut at a Boston Red Sox game, Helen and Lowell going out on a date, and the arrival of the sexy new helicopter pilot, Alex, who sets the two brothers in a heated battle for her attention.
While most shows start to fade after their first couple of seasons, this show keeps getting stronger and this is a collection for fans and collectors alike.

Oh! Heh heh. You had something on your shirt and I was... er... just going to stab it for you.
It's been a while since we featured Michel Gourdon's work, so above you see a cover for L'évadée de Saint-Lazare by Pierre Souvestre and Marcel Allain, for Paris based publishers Éditions Robert Laffont, number 29 in its series Collection Rex. The book is about a ruthless criminal named Fantômas, who wears a blue mask and black gloves. He was one of the most popular creations in the history of French literature. Souvestre and Allain wrote thirty-two books about him between 1911 and 1913. That's not a typo. They wrote fast, about a book a month, and were greatly helped by the money earned by selling him to the movies, where he became a stalwart of France's early silent cinema. Éditions Robert Laffont republished the books during the 1960s, with Michel Gourdon illustrating all of them, and the above edition coming in 1963. Rear cover below. We'll probably get back to Fantômas later.

French publisher Editions Ferenczi had a Verrou unique way of doing things.
Collection le Verrou (The Lock Collection) consisted of 205 pocket-sized crime novels published in France by Editions Ferenczi from 1950 to 1959. Some were written by French authors using pseudonyms that sounded English or American, while other writers used their real names, such as Alexandra Pecker (yes, that's a real name) and René Poupon (idem). Other books were written by U.S. or British writers and had been previously published. For instance, above you see Le singe de cuivre by Harry Whittington, which you might know as The Brass Monkey, and below you'll find entries from Lawrence Blochman and English scribe Peter Cheney, better known as Peter Cheyney. The art on these books is generally quite colorful. The cover above was painted by Michel Gourdon, and below you'll find another piece from him, many efforts from Georges Sogny, and a couple from as-yet-unknowns. We really like Ferenczi's output, so expect us to share more covers from this publisher later.

I shot the director. But I didn't shoot the D.O.P.
A DOP, for those unfamiliar with the term, is the Director of Photography, the director's creative right hand on a movie set. J. P. Ferrière's Marie-meurtre, which is entry #573 in Editions Fleuve Noir's long-running Spécial Police series, is about a woman whose visiting brother dies in her home of a heart attack, and whose demise is immediately followed by the arrival of a Parisian gangster looking for a cache of stolen jewels. This would normally be a disconcerting development, but Marie has an enemy and the gangster's presence turns into an opportunity for long sought revenge. The book was published in 1967 and it has Michel Gourdon artwork, possibly only tangentially related to the actual content. Since our French is bare bones at best we couldn't pore over the book to find the connection to the cover art. But when you come up with a good caption you just have to run with it.

Well, if that's the way you feel about it, fine—I'll go to the damn grocery store with you.
Here's how food shopping works around here. When we go to the market we buy only enough for a day or two because we want to prevent food from going over, but when the Pulp Intl. girlfriends go they buy more than they can carry. Therefore, when we go alone we never get everything they want, and when they go alone they never have the help they need. We're thinking of buying them a donkey to solve that problem. Paul Kenny's Consigne impitoyable has nothing to do with any of that. It's an espionage thriller featuring the long-running character Francis Coplan, aka FX 18, who works for SDECE (Service de Documentation Extérieure et de Contre-Espionnage). The series, which was credited to Kenny as a pseudonym but written by Belgian authors Gaston Van den Panhuyse and Jean Libert, was immensely popular and sold tens of millions of copies globally. As you can see, Consigne impitoyable had two nearly identical covers, presumably representing two nearly identical occasions when extra persuasion was needed to get Coplan off his ass to help with the shopping. He may need to buy a donkey too. Both editions had Michel Gourdon cover art and appeared in 1958.

She's not out of the woods yet.
This is your regular reminder that Michel Gourdon was a top notch illustrator, though his brother Alain was the one who attained legendary status. Michel was more of a workhorse, though, painting many hundreds of paperback fronts, which probably contributed to him producing the occasional less-than-stellar effort. But this piece for Pierre Courcel's, aka Roger Jean Tribot's La haine qui rôde, aka The Hatred that Lurks, is Michel at his best. The sports car and female figure are nice, but the background of trees and sunlight is particularly beautiful, we think. It's from 1965 for Editions Fleuve Noir, entry #483 in its long-running Collection Spécial-Police.

We also have one hardback dust sleeve we added at the bottom because it was so interesting. Just scroll down, but do it carefully.

Man, he had tiny feet. Suddenly it's hard to remember why I thought he was so dangerous.
Above, a Michel Gourdon cover for Serge LaForest's Les mains propres, aka Clean Hands, for Collection Special Police from French publisher Fleuve Noir. LaForest was a pseudonym used by Serge Arcouet, who wrote 140 novels as LaForest, Russ Rasher, Tony Stewart, and—we love this one—John Lee Silver. Actually, he shared Silver with two other French writers Pierre Aryaud and Léo Malet. Remember those trips to France we took? These Fleuve Noir paperbacks are staples in every secondhand bookstore you find, probably because very close to a billion have been printed and sold from 1949 until today. Les mains propres is from 1960

He might have broken the law, but he had a higher calling.
What's an illustrator to do when he doesn't have a model? Borrow a celebrity. And if you're going to use a celeb you might as well take inspiration from the best. French artist Michel Gourdon decided upon the era's most celestial sex goddess Raquel Welch for his cover of M.G. Braun's Sam et Sally—Le sang du ciel, published in 1972 by Editions Fleuve Noir as part of its Collection Spécial Police. This would not be the last time Gourdon used Welch as a model, but it's probably the best example.
This sort of appropriation was not unique to Gourdon. During this same period Italian artist Mario De Berardinis used Playboy Playmate of the Year Cyndi Wood for his poster promoting the film Giro girotondo... con il sesso è bello il mondo, Sharon Tate was used for at least two late 1960s paperback covers, Lavar Burton was borrowed for the front of an ultraviolent Italian fumetto, Ornella Muti provided the physical basis for the main character of the vampire series Sukia, Beba and Fiona of the Pornostar comics were based on two showgirls from Striscia la notizia, and none other than Iggy Pop appeared on the cover of Elvifrance's Wallestein.
All of these examples using celebrity images for profit would be violations of intellectual property laws today, we're fairly certain, but we could be wrong about that. Were they illegal in the past? Not in Italy, apparently—Ornella Muti must have known her image was being borrowed, since she worked primarily in Italy and Sukia was published there. Same goes for the Striscia la notizia showgirls. Maybe they were flattered. If so, they should have looked inside the comics, where their characters were ripping throats out and shanking dudes in the groin. In any case, we love curiosities like these, and we'll doubtless run across more later.

Faced with this position surrender is the only option.
Here you see a pose that appears over and over in vintage paperback art—one figure looming menacingly in the foreground as a second cowers in the triangular negative space created by the first's spread legs. This pose is so common it should have a name. We're thinking "the alpha," because it signifies male dominance and because of the A shape the pose makes. True, on occasion the dominator isn't male, sometimes the unfortunate sprawled figure is depicted outside the A shaped space, and sometimes the art expresses something other than dominance, but basically the alpha (see, that just sounds right, doesn't it?) has been used scores of times with only minor variation. You'll notice several of these come from subsidiaries of the sleaze publisher Greenleaf Classics. It was a go-to cover style for them. We have twenty examples in all, with art by Bob Abbett, Robert Bonfils, Michel Gourdon, and others.

The headlines that mattered yesteryear.
1916—Paris Is Bombed by German Zeppelins
During World War I, German zeppelins conduct a bombing raid on Paris. Such raids were rare, because the ships had to fly hundreds of miles over French territory to reach their target, making them vulnerable to attack. Reaching London, conversely, was much easier, because the approach was over German territory and water. The results of these raids were generally not good, but the use of zeppelins as bombers would continue until the end of the war.
1964—Soviets Shoot Down U.S. Plane
A U.S. Air Force training jet is shot down by Soviet fighters after straying into East German airspace. All 3 crew men are killed. U.S forces then clandestinely enter East Germany in an attempt to reach the crash but are thwarted by Soviet forces. In the end, the U.S. approaches the Soviets through diplomatic channels and on January 31 the wreckage of the aircraft is loaded onto trucks with the assistance of Soviet troops, and returned to West Germany.
1967—Apollo Fire Kills Three Astronauts
Astronauts Gus Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee are killed in a fire during a test of the Apollo 1 spacecraft at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Although the ignition source of the fire is never conclusively identified, the astronauts' deaths are attributed to a wide range of design hazards in the early Apollo command module, including the use of a high-pressure 100 percent-oxygen atmosphere for the test, wiring and plumbing flaws, flammable materials in the cockpit, an inward-opening hatch, and the flight suits worn by the astronauts.

TMS is Australia's largest exporter of lottery products with over 500,000 customers being serviced in over 40 countries. TMS distributes lottery products worldwide via mail-order and as a direct lottery service partner for a number of Asian and South Pacific nations. TMS operates under strict government supervision and its members are accredited international representatives for Australian Lottery games. TMS has the right to market and retail Australian lottery products both Internationally and within Australia. TMS is responsible for marketing and distributing all of the exciting Australian Lottery games like Ozlotto, Powerball, or Saturday Lotto Super Draw.
Tattslotto, is a national game played by all Australian states and territories within the Lotto Bloc. It is marketed as "Tattslotto," "Gold lotto," "Lotto," or "Saturday Lotto," depending on which part of Australia you are in. To play, a player chooses six numbers. A player may choose more than six numbers but for each extra number you choose, the price of the ticket rises. The jackpot begins at $4 million each week and has 7 Superdraws throughout the year which have higher jackpots. A ticket only costs 50 cents per play. To win the jackpot, you must match 6 winning numbers, but you can win other exciting prizes by matching only 5, 4, or 3 numbers.
Oz Lotto was Australia's original lottery game and was the only national Australia game when it was created. Oz Lotto costs $1 to play. To win Oz Lotto, a player simply needs to match at least 3 of their numbers to the 7 winning numbers drawn. The winning numbers are drawn every Tuesday night.
Australia also has its own version of the highly successful American Powerball game. Australian Powerball is drawn every Thursday night. Each game costs 60 cents to play. To win Powerball, a person needs only to match 3 winning numbers. Powerball offers better odds for winning a cash prize than Saturday Lotto but it is harder to win the Powerball jackpot. It has caught on in Australia in the same way it has become a national phenomena in America.

Comments & Feedback on "Australian Lotto"


A full church bade Rev. Lawrence J. Madden, SJ, farewell at Holy Trinity Church in Washington, D.C., on June 4, 2011. It was a liturgy at which the responses from the assembly were thunderous and the music led by a 60-voice choir was "wonderful," as Madden's friend Paul Covino described. It was a liturgy with more than 800 persons who understood Madden's message that liturgy done well is transformative.
Madden, the founder and director of the Georgetown Center for Liturgy, died of a heart attack on May 29 in his room at the Jesuit community at Georgetown University. He had devoted much of his priestly ministry to helping parishes celebrate the liturgy well.
In the days after his death, phone calls and e-mails with remembrances of Madden poured into Holy Trinity Church, where the Jesuit had been the pastor from 1993 to 2000 and continued to preside until his death. The Rev. Mark Horak, SJ, said, "I've probably gotten more response after his death than any other in the three years I've been here. They have wonderful memories of him as a pastor." Horak continued, "They certainly remember him as a good priest, an effective pastor, and in many cases, as a close personal friend."
It was Madden's aim, through the Georgetown Center on Liturgy, "to impact liturgy on a national level," said Paul Covino, who as associate director launched the Center with Madden.
"He was trying to make liturgy accessible and understandable to the person in the pew," Covino said. "His audience were Catholics in the pews."
Madden believed, Covino said, that "Liturgy done well and done beautifully in a beautiful place had the power to transform." He liked to use the word "seduce" while speaking of the potentials of good liturgy. In the article "Parish Liturgy during the Past Twenty Years from a Pastor's Viewpoint" in the Winter 2011 issue of Liturgical Ministry, he said, "If we add quality preaching and a reverent enactment of the rites by the various ministers to beautiful and appropriate music, I believe some people's symbolic, poetic capacities can be awakened and they can be seduced into experiences of the Paschal mystery."
That experience of the Paschal Mystery would lead people to service. "His understanding of the reason that we do the liturgy and are transformed by the liturgy is to do the work of the kingdom," Covino said.
To the priest of 46 years, no one was too young to benefit from the homily. At Masses attended by a large number of children, the puppet Mr. Blue whispered questions into Madden's ear during the homily. The children's interest was piqued while the parents were enlightened. "It was pretty masterful," Covino said. "The kids were getting one message and the parents were getting another much more profound message."
Rev. Paul Turner, a priest of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph and an author of books on liturgy, said that Madden made a difference in his encouragement of well-done liturgies. "Larry was an unfailing supporter of liturgy that made sense. He believed that we could do better as a Church, and he challenged and invited in ways that made it happen. His passion for the Church's worship has made a tremendous impact on faith and celebration."
His zeal to enhance the full, conscious, and active participation of the assembly was part of his work not only at the programs that the Center offered and as a parish priest but in the classroom. He taught pastoral theology at Georgetown both while the director of Campus Ministry from 1971 to 1981 and while director of the Center. Anne Koester, who worked with Madden both at the Center and in a Georgetown classroom, recalled an energetic man who was open to others and new ideas, and always a supporter of the Second Vatican Council.
"Larry Madden, SJ, was enthusiastic and firm in his commitment to the vision of the Second Vatican Council," Koester said in an e-mail. "He sought to promote Vatican II principles in every aspect of his work as a priest, pastor, teacher and liturgist. As my co-teacher for a fall course at Georgetown University for the last eight years, Larry always demonstrated his desire to hand on to the post-Vatican II generations his passion for liturgy. He was a talented musician, a friend to many people, and a man who lived life to its fullest."
Living life to the fullest included sailing his boat in Chesapeake Bay and once serving as a crew member in the Transpac sailing race from San Francisco to Honolulu. It included playing Cole Porter's songs on the piano at Holy Trinity's cabaret fundraiser and acting in theater productions at the parish. "He was very approachable and down-to-earth," Covino said.
His friends, former parishioners, students, and colleagues will remember a man who saw liturgy, art, and spirituality connected. "Over the years I came to believe that beauty in its many forms can be the most effective avenue we can take to the experience of the mystery of God," he wrote in his Liturgical Ministry article.
That he helped others experience the mystery of God will be his legacy. "He will be missed," Horak said, "and as I heard someone comment to me, he'll be missed by the Jesuits to whom he was a brother and the larger Church, to whom he was a faithful servant. He devoted his Jesuit life to helping people pray together. It's hard to imagine a more worthwhile life."

Would You Buy A Home Without An In-Person Visit?
Naturally, the coronavirus has made buying and selling a home more complicated this spring. Social distancing and other mitigation efforts have changed the way we think about nearly everything, including the buying process. But according to a new survey from the National Association of Realtors' consumer website, Americans are adapting, embracing technology, and not changing their plans. In fact, the survey found that 68 percent of respondents said their plans to move, or not, haven't changed. Just 9 percent said they weren't planning to move but now are and 14 percent said they'd canceled a plan to move. Furthermore, a growing number of buyers say they'd be comfortable buying a home they didn't see in person, provided they had access to a virtual tour, photos, and detailed listing and neighborhood information. The largest share of participants said they'd still prefer to see a home with their buyer's agent but 24 percent said they'd be willing to buy a home they didn't see in person. And, when it comes to younger buyers, that number is closer to 30 percent. In short, the survey is good news for the housing market, as it indicates that Americans still want to buy and are open to new ways of getting it done.

Yes, Virginia, there is lens flare.
Even if we use lenses that reduce the effects of flare, the potential is still out there, waiting to pounce when we least expect it.
Or is there? Well, Yes and No. Lens flare cannot be stopped, but it can be repaired.
Mouse over the before image to view the results of lens flare repair. If mouse over does not work, go to Lens Flare Repair on my blog.
Flaring artifacts vary in size, and can spread across the image. Like aperture starring, their intensity depends on the strength of the light sources, and changes with aperture settings.
The greatest challenge is that flaring haze and artifacts wash out underlying image details, usually accompanied by color shifts.
Traditionally, prints have been repaired manually by applying spotting inks. This takes time and patience, a whole lot of practice, and must be repeated for every print.
Digital editing can be much more exacting, goes straight to the source of the problem, and only needs to be done once per image.
The first step is to decide which flaring effects are desirable, then touch-up the rest.
The toughest part of touch-up is removing the flare marks seamlessly. The goal is to break up the patterns to remove the visual distractions.
One method is to use the Clone Tool to return details to washed out areas.
Another means is to burn and dodge flare spots where there is little or no details to restore. The best approach is to perform luminosity painting through a luminosity mask on a Soft Light layer above the image layer.
For complex artifacts, a combination of the two techniques can be most rewarding.
Thanks to Tony Kuyper, who has written many fine tutorials on the subject of Luminosity Masks, a versatile set of tools for image editing.
Start with Luminosity Masks for a general description of the masking techniques.
Read Luminosity Painting for specifics on burning and dodging through luminosity masks.
Go here for an index of masking topics.
In 1692, my ancestor Susannah Martin was one of the first women hung at the Salem Witch Trials. I went to Salem to visit the Witch Trials Museum and Memorial. As I drove out of town that night, I came across this boat yard. It was well lit, but still kind of spooky.
The double lights on each side of the boats were very bright, causing extreme starring and flaring, especially with a small aperture. All of this was obvious in the viewfinder.
Trying to touch-up a darkroom print by hand was quite frustrating. Using both luminosity painting and cloning in Photoshop proved to be successful.
This was a 30 second exposure shot at f16 with TMAX 3200 film.
A light silver toning was applied to the image to cool the highlights.
Take night shots of a scene with bright light sources that create lens flare. Clean up the image artifacts by following the guidelines for Luminosity Painting.
This is good practice for any kind of touch-up work.
There is more to night photography than meets the eye.
Not the most inspiring quote I've come across, but still a good reminder.
Unfortunately, he left out the main ingredient, "… and take notice".
Because looking without noticing is like hearing without listening.
This is the visual discovery process in a nutshell.
With short exposures, we usually capture what we notice with the naked eye. Our images pretty much reflect what we observe in a single moment, a snapshot in time.
But when photographing at night, "noticing" takes on a-whole-nother dimension. Spotting our subject matter in the dark is only where the challenge begins.
We have to look into the night with our mind's eye to anticipate how changes in light and lighting will unfold during a long exposure.
We must train our mind's eye to see beyond the current moment, to view the not yet seen. And learn to visualize the possibilities in time, to capture the not yet scene.
One of the best ways to train our mind's eye for discovery is through experimentation.
During nighttime exposures, we have the time to survey our surroundings, envision how movement and change will affect the final image, then dream up experiments with light to expand our photographic intuition.
It is with this eye towards change and the expanded moment, that we open the door to a much richer spectrum of image making.
The Rodin Sculpture Garden is dramatically lit at night. When I noticed three street lights in the distance, I composed with them in mind to see how the camera would treat them.
I beheld a trio of lights at the tip of his finger.
My discovery: Since aperture starring occurs in the camera, the stars advanced forward in the image. The result: The 3 stars seem to emerge from the finger tip of the sculpture.
My experiment taught me something to look for in the future. Plus it added a personal touch to the image (pun intended).
This image is the result of bracketing then selecting the 2 minute exposure shot at f16 with TMAX 3200 film.
A light silver tint was applied to the image to accentuate the sculpture's metallic highlights.
The next time you go out at night, look around and notice any movement or change in light. Imagine how that might appear in a long exposure.
Entertain ideas on how to capture the changes that are visually compelling.
If you are uncertain how these changes might materialize in a final image, think up some experiments to try the next time you photograph at night.
This is a great way to practice seeing the possibilities with your mind's eye.


Work has finished three weeks early on the new £1.3m roundabout at Barnetby Top on the A18.
It is now open to traffic as normal.
.Work started to build the new roundabout in February 2016.
Councillor Neil Poole, cabinet member for Environment at North Lincolnshire Council, said: "I'm pleased work has now finished, and three weeks earlier than expected. This is great news.
"This is a huge investment that will help improve safety and traffic flow at this junction, particularly for those travelling from Brigg to the motorway.
"Everyone has worked hard to get the work finished early and contractors have been working six days a week to get the job done.


In your house, the most important room is the kitchen, where women spend most of the time. From preparing morning tea to baking a delicious desert in the night, kitchen is where all your food machinery is. So it's very necessary that kitchen appliances are not only perfect in functionality, but also aesthetically looking elegant. The Electrolux seems to have that for you – EI36EC45KB 36″ Black Electric Cooktop. This Cooktop definitely features in the top 5 electric cooktops as per our list. There are certain small features that Electrolux has thought of which has impressed us and are talked about in the market as well.
It is a ceramic glass cooktop with five burners, neatly spread on 36 inches surface with effortless controls. The unit is black top and burners are diagonally spread 3 in front and 2 at the back. 2 to 3 cookware are placed on the cooktop and it's not cluttered at all. Multiple dishes for your party can be prepared at the same time. And when there's a het together or a party at your place, different sizes of cookware are required to be on cooktop to prepare numerous dishes. It has one fabulous feature as well i.e. triple and double element where 7 different sizes of cookware can be placed and food can be cooked.
The power buttons are in the middle which is quite far from the burner so there are no chances of burning and each burner has its own respective button. The most impressive part of the Electrolux electric cooktop is that one can save his/her own preset of cooking – like one cooks rice or boil water every day. One can program the time frame for it and it guarantees perfect cooking of the dish at the preset programming level. No need to reprogramming the timer every time. The digital display lets you know the power level and also whether or not it's on or off. This cooktop is worth the price and will just make your life easy and cooking effortless.
We all know cleaning is quite a headache for many people. The ceramic smooth surface of this cooktop not only makes it look elegant but also is easy to clean.
The best part of this Cooktop is that it has 15 different power levels and one can lock it if not in use. Cooking with such a wide range of power can only be possible in restaurants or big hotel kitchen cooktops.
While you are cooking and doing household work at the same time, we tend to forget that we have kept something to cook and food tends to burn. Now preventing the burning of food is possible, as Electrolux cooktop has a timer set which ranges from one min to 99 mins and at the end of the time set, the burner will shut off automatically.
As we discussed you can save the setting of certain regular food items. It is not only restricted to one or two, you can save 25 presets, Now that is definitely. This is not monotonous cooking this is called smart cooking with Electrolux.
The only con that we could come up with was that there is no bridge element between burners. Other electric cooktops that have been reviewed by us have spare heaters amid its burners that provide level cooking for long grills. Apart from that, this 36" electric Cooktop is competent, swift and authoritative.

Platformers as a medium continue to find new ways for developers to differentiate their projects from other titles that share the same concept. Either it being from more serious & less forgiving experiences to fun & energetic, there's a flavor for everyone to enjoy in the genre. Like every PAX, there are some that direct itself from the others and holds its own authentic concept with interesting gameplay mechanics to keep you playing longer than you expected.
I'm talking about Cuddle Monster Games' Hell is Other Demons: from the title's colorful & contrasting color scheme, synthwave-focused soundtrack, and dynamic gameplay features grabbed me instantly and killed 15 minutes which felt like seconds with my short demo of the game.
To be honest about the core gameplay of this game; the learning curve is heavily present and will be difficult to get the hang of staying alive longer than you would have expected. Even my first attempt with the game only lasted about a minute. But I gradually learned the character available for the demo and progressed pretty far into the title at one moment. For how the platformer plays out regarding it's story, each level is randomly generated for three parts and ends with a boss fight with a transition to the next world if you are successful with the ending battle.
I spoke with August Brown from Kongregate on what will be available with the full game and filled some of the empty slots I had questions about. For the game's demo, the only available character goes by the alias 'The Rebel': other diverse characters, weapons and customizable load outs are said to be planned/currently in development. Brown shares that there are roughly five major bosses that are planned for the game's full version with an story completion expectancy roughly around 5 – 7 hours.
For how many weapons in the demo alone hardly reaches half that is promised when the game officially debuts as Brown states that there are "about a dozen or two different passive weapons in the full versions" along with 10 standard weapons on the way also. When progressing with the character, you will be given upgrades that can be applied to both you and the weapon you have equipped which adds to the madness already in front of you.
When asked if there are any modes that speedrunners can take advantage of for the platformer, Brown shot down the question that the game's main campaign is planned to only offer leaderboards for scores, not time.
The game's story is intended to offer arcade mode for players towards bragging rights: the game is mainly for beating friends when you have them over to see who can last the longest.
Looking at the choice of picking the Switch as well as PC for launch, I questioned if the game will take advantage of the feature exclusive to the Nintendo platform and Brown commented that HD Rumble will be the only feature as supporting one Joy Con will hinder players since the title needs two and gyro functionality won't work for the type of game.
Lastly, I asked about his preference for the game and why he feels players will enjoy the title from their first impressions with the choice of colors and even the in-depth soundtrack & sound effect for the game. Adding on that Remi "The Algorithm" Gallego is the one behind the game's soundtrack and vvvvvv's Composer, Magnus Pålsson is responsible for the sound queues.
Hell is Other Demons is expected to drop for PC and Nintendo Switch sometime in Q2 2019.

Augustin Blondel de Gagny, né en  et mort le  à Paris, est un amateur et collectionneur d'art français du  ; son importante collection de tableaux de maître, d'objets d'art et de meubles de prix a été dispersée à sa mort lors d'une vente aux enchères. Une partie des tableaux et sculptures de Blondel de Gagny sont conservés au  dans les collections de grands musées européens comme le Musée du Louvre à Paris ou la Wallace Collection à Londres.

Biographie
Il est le fils de Joseph Blondel, conseiller et trésorier général des Bâtiments du roi, administration chargée des constructions et de l'entretien des résidences royales, à Paris et aux environs. Joseph avait acheté un château à Gagny en 1706 (il le revend en 1725) ; c'est le nom de cette terre que son fils ajoute à son nom. Augustin épouse Marguerite-Henriette Barbier, qui meurt avant lui ; ils auront un seul enfant, Barthélémy-Augustin Blondel d'Azaincourt (ou d'Azincourt), né en 1719.

Grâce, en partie, à la protection de Jean-Baptiste de Machault d'Arnouville, Augustin Blondel occupe, à partir de 1750, le poste de trésorier général de la Caisse des Amortissements qui était destinée à rembourser les dettes du roi . En avril 1752, il est nommé intendant aux Menus-Plaisirs du roi, administration chargée de la préparation des cérémonies, fêtes et spectacles de la cour .

Il achète à Jean-Joseph Palerne de la Madeleine un petit château à Garges qu'il fait reconstruire dans le style néo-classique par Pierre Contant d'Ivry, qui avait également réaménagé le château d'Arnouville pour Machault d'Arnouville. Ce château, modifié au , mal entretenu par ses propriétaires successifs et endommagé par les bombardements alliés de 1944 sur l'aérodrome du Bourget, voisin, est démoli en 1952. Il en subsiste une grille avec ses piliers en pierre de taille, inscrite aux Monuments historiques en 1944 , et une fontaine du parc . Blondel de Gagny acquiert en 1768 la seigneurie de Bonneuil, terre voisine de Garges.

Il commence à collectionner dans les années 1740. Amateur de musique, il acquiert un violon Stradivarius selon le catalogue de la vente, acheté pour 601 livres.

Il achète à Paris en 1723 une maison au 4 rue d'Anjou, qu'il fait remanier et agrandir en hôtel particulier ; il le loue de 1755 à 1758 et le vend le 12 août 1758 . En 1759, il s'installe dans l'hôtel particulier de son défunt père, place Louis-le-Grand, devenue la Place Vendôme, avec ses collections. Elles constituent ce qui est, à l'époque, considéré comme l'un des plus beaux cabinets de curiosités de la capitale française, décrit dans les guides de Paris du milieu du  . Hébert en 1766 l'introduit ainsi dans son Dictionnaire pittoresque et historique :  et consacre 43 pages à la description des différentes œuvres de la collection . C'est un but de visite pour les voyageurs de passage intéressés par l'art ; Joseph-Henry Costa de Beauregard, jeune noble savoyard, décrit ainsi longuement en 1766-1767 dans son journal de voyage  « le cabinet de M. de Cagny ... un des plus nombreux qu'il y ait dans Paris ... »  et ses collections .

Il meurt le 9 juillet 1776 et ses obsèques sont célébrées le lendemain à l'église Saint-Roch de Paris ; le Mercure de France lui consacre une courte notice dans son numéro d'août 1776 .

Vente aux enchères de 1776
Selon ses dernières volontés, ses collections sont vendues aux enchères après sa mort au profit de ses petits-enfants . La vente a lieu en deux vacations, du 10 au 24 décembre 1776 et du 8 au 22 janvier 1777  ; le catalogue rédigé par Pierre Remy, l'expert chargé de la vente, contient  numéros.

Le Journal de Paris rend compte de la vente le 1 février 1777 et indique :  . Les estimations sont contrastées : « Tous les tableaux importants de l'école flamande ou hollandaise ont vu leur estimation de base multipliée par quatre ou six en moyenne. Parmi les Français, Nicolas Poussin a vu la sienne multipliée par six ... À l'opposé celle de Claude Lorrain a été revue à la baisse, de même que celle de Pierre de Cortone. » , mais dans une décennie où les prix du marché de l'art enregistrent une envolée spectaculaire .

La vente, qui rapporte au total  livres , est largement suivie par les professionnels et les amateurs, dont le roi Louis XVI. Le fils de Blondel de Gagny, Barthélémy-Augustin Blondel d'Azaincourt, rachète une partie des œuvres de la collection de son père ; elles figureront dans sa propre vente après-décès en 1783 .

Pason Power, a provider of adaptive intelligent software for energy assets, and Chint Power Systems (CPS), a manufacturer of solar and energy storage power conversion equipment, have announced a new partnership.
CPS has chosen Pason Power's software to be integrated into its energy storage system for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers.
The integrated energy storage solution fosters a simplified, single-source procurement process for customers, according to the partners. Additionally, hardware and software arrive pre-built and pre-configured, making it easier for developers to install. By pre-integrating with CPS' energy storage solution, Pason Power's platform can accurately model anticipated operating parameters, yielding more precise results.
"The integration of the Pason Power platform with the CPS systems gives customers the ability to confidently size, procure and install intelligent energy storage systems, while also providing faster delivery times and cost certainty," comments Enrico Ladendorf, managing director of Pason Power.
The systems are designed for demand-charge reduction, time-of-use shifting, PV self-consumption and backup-power applications. Available in 30 kW / 65 kWh or 60 kW / 130 kWh solutions, the turnkey UL 9540-certified systems are now available.

Fortescue Metals Group, abgekürzt FMG, ist ein australisches Bergbauunternehmen mit Firmensitz in Perth, das vorwiegend Eisenerz abbaut. Das 2003 gegründete Unternehmen ist im Aktienindex S&P/ASX 50 gelistet. Nach eigenen Angaben ist es der viertgrößte Eisenerzproduzent der Welt und beliefert vor allem China und den asiatischen Raum.

Geschichte
2006 projektierte Fortescue seine Verladeanlagen im Herb Elliot Port am Port Hedland, die Fortescue Railway und die Ausrichtung der Tagebaue des Chichester Hubs. Zwei Jahre später begann die Produktion von Eisenerz in der Cloud Break Mine und 2009 in der Christmas Creek Mine. 2014 nahmen die Tagebaue Firetail Mine und Kings Mine die Produktion auf, die zusammen den Salomon Hub bilden. Die Ausrichtung dieser Gruben kostete 8,4 Milliarden Australische Dollar. 2011 verkaufte Fortescue 40 Millionen Tonnen Eisenerz und 165 Millionen Tonnen im Finanzjahr 2014–2015.

Fortescue beschäftigt 20 Personen in Perth, Port Hedland, Roebourne und Tom Price, die Kontakte zu zahlreichen Repräsentanten der Aborigines halten, mit denen das Unternehmen zusammenarbeitet. Das Unternehmen erklärt, dass sie die Rechte, Kultur und Interessen der Aborigines bei ihren Projekten berücksichtigt. Fortescue legt nach eigenen Angaben großen Wert auf die Beschäftigung von Aborigines und beschäftigte 300 indigene Mitarbeiter im Jahr 2011.

Fortescue ist Landeigentümer über ein Gebiet von 88.000 km², was der doppelten Größe der Schweiz entspricht. Im Vergleich dazu besitzen Rio Tinto 11.000 km² und BHP Billiton 7.000 km². Dieses riesige Landeigentum in der Pilbara-Region machen dieses Unternehmen zur Eigentümerin eines weltbedeutenden Eisenerzvorkommens von 2 Milliarden Tonnen.

Im Januar 2022 unterzeichneten die FMG-Tochtergesellschaft Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) und der deutsche Chemiekonzern Covestro eine Absichtserklärung, beginnend im Jahr 2024 bis zu 100.000 Tonnen klimaneutral erzeugten ("grünen") Wasserstoff (äquivalent Ammoniak) an Covestro zu liefern. Im März 2022 unterzeichneten FFI und der deutsche Energiekonzern E.ON ebenso eine Absichtserklärung, beginnend im Jahr 2024 bis 2030 bis zu fünf Millionen Tonnen "grünen Wasserstoff" pro Jahr in Form von Ammoniak nach Europa zu liefern.

Eigentümerstruktur
Der größte Anteilseigner mit 36 % ist Tattarang (von 2013 bis 2020 als The Minderoo Group Pty Ltd firmierend), das Investmentunternehmen der Familie von Chairman Andrew Forrest.

General Information about Dharamshala
Situated 520 kilometers to the northwest of Delhi, bwas once the Headquarters of the British Administration of Kangra, Kullu and Lahul region of Himachal Pradesh before India's independence. It was then and remains today a well known hill station and a refuge from the heat of the plains. Today, however, Dharamsala is also one of the most important tourist destinations in northern India. It is divided into two separate areas: Lower Dharamsala, where government offices and services are located, and Upper Dharamsala also known as McLeod Ganj which sits atop a ridge 10 km above the main shopping area, Kotwali bazaar.
McLeodganj is the center of the Tibetan community in exile and the residence of His Holiness The Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader and head of the Tibetan government in exile.
For trekkers, the Dhauladhar range is a paradise offering mountain passes ranging from 3000 to 5000 meters in height and providing entry to the Chamba valley and the central Himalayan ranges.
For visitors seeking the teachings and spiritual guidance to be found in the numerous Tibetan monasteries and art centers, Dharamsala is a most pleasant and relaxed haven in the Indian Himalayas. The scenic health resorts of Upper Dharamsala are surrounded by dense forests of oak, rhododendron and deodar and offer beautiful walks and panoramic views of mountains above and the valley below. The Dhauladhar's, meaning white mountains, form the backdrop of the town below which lies the beautiful Kangra valley, bordered by green terraced fields on hill slopes and carpeted with the rice paddies and tea gardens that surround the slate roofed houses of the many villages.
Tourist attractions around Dharamshala
The Dalai Lama's Temple or Tsuglakhang.
The main Buddhist temple, situated opposite the residence of His Holiness Dalai Lama. It is open from sunrise to sunset each day and is visited by thousands of devotees and tourists. In the center the statue of Lord Budha or Sakyamuni is three meters high and gilded in bronze. To either side are Padmasambhava, Tibet's great tantric teacher and Avalokiteshwara or Chenrezig, the Budha of Compassion, He who hears the cries of the world, in silver with eleven faces, a thousand arms and one thousand eyes.
Bhagsu Nag Temple
One km from McLeod Ganj is an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Bhagsu Nag, the snake god, and to Lord Shiva.
St. John's Church
A ten minute walk below McLeod Ganj, on the road to Lower Dharamsala, is the Anglican Church built by the British in 1852. Surrounded by a heavily wooded pine and deodar forest, the Church maintains a Christian cemetery adjacent to it and is a repository of local history.
The Tibetan Institute of the Performing Arts
TIPA was founded in 1959 by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to preserve traditional Tibetan art forms in music, dance and theatre. The Institute is located a short distance above McLeod Ganj and is a training center for young Tibetan artists.
The Tibetan Library of Works And Archives
TLWA lies within the complex of the Central Tibetan Administration two kilometers below McLeod Ganj. Established in 1971, it houses rare books and current Tibetan literature as well as a small holding of books and journals in English and other languages. In addition, the Library is a teaching center offering courses on Tibetan language arts and Buddhist philosophy and literature to local and foreign students. It is a small publishing house of Tibetan books and journals.
Kangra Art Museum
Located in the centre of Kotwali bazaar in lower Dharamsala. The museum main exhibits are paintings from the Kangra School of Miniature Painting, also sculptures, tribal ornaments and photographs of local monuments.
Norbulingka
Situated in the valley below Dharamsala, Norbulingka is an Institute for the preservation of traditional Tibetan arts and crafts. At present, it houses over 300 teachers, students and workers. The arts and crafts include Thangka painting, tailoring, metal sculpture and wood crafts. There is a popular Losel doll museum and a temple.
Pong Dam Lake
2-3 hours drive from Dharamsala, Himachal's largest body of fresh water, provides a shelter for 400 species of migratory birds. This birds watcher's paradise, also offer amazing lake views and excellent swims and water activities.
In addition to the above, there are several other Buddhist monasteries and institutes worth visiting. Dharamkot and Bhagsu Nag on the periphery of McLeod Ganj are the main villages inhabited by the Gaddi, a shepherd tribe and the original inhabitants of Dhauladhar. The influx of tourism to these villages has prompted the appearance of small guest houses within the villages making possible longer and comfortable visits.

QStringList lineWithoutSlashAnne_01 = QString(line).split("\n");
lineWithoutSlashAnne_02 = lineWithoutSlashAnne_01[i];
//...

I don't know what you want but index i has got nothing to do with the split of the line QString(line).split("\n");. I guess you want this lineWithoutSlashAnne_02 = lineWithoutSlashAnne_01[0];
Just replace the ugly while loop with:
foreach(QByteArray line, tFile->readAll().split("\n"))
{
    if(line.endsWith(projects))
    {
        line << " " << projNm;
    }
    out << line << endl;
 }

You have a memory leak, procQueueContent is never deleted.

'I refuse to get used to it': Roanoke parent says app doesn't resolve school bus issues
Durham School Services rolling out bus tracking app
ROANOKE, Va. – The Star City school bus saga continues.
The company running the buses, Durham School Services, said a new tracking app will fully roll out Thursday, touting it as improved communication after months of issues.
It was a soggy start Wednesday for students in Roanoke City Schools after yet another late bus.
"So they're going to be late to school today," parent Sarah Jones said. "It really just burns my biscuits."
Delays have been plaguing the school system since day one this year, and parents like Jones are fed up.
"I refuse to get used to it. I want them to make it right, and I'm not going to stop until they get it right," Jones said.
One way that Durham School Services is trying to do that is with a new tracking app that promises near real-time information at each stop. Parents can only track their child's assigned bus. That proved to be a problem Wednesday, as Jones' child wasn't riding his assigned bus because the driver was running a double route, so they couldn't track it.
"All they say is they're working on it, they're working on it, and that is just not enough anymore," Jones said.
For Jones, the app is merely a distraction from the real issues, dating back to Durham's takeover this summer.
"They decided to put money ahead of our kids, and you know, sometimes you just can't buy off-brand cheese. You buy off-brand cheese, it's going to taste like garbage. You get what you pay for," Jones said.
Students left in the rain and parents left in the dark are still asking for answers and said an app isn't it.
"We just need to know that our kids are getting from point A to point B safely, and right now, I don't have faith that Durham is getting my kids from point A to point B safely," Jones said.
Durham School Services released the following statement to 10 News Wednesday:
"The Bus Tracker app will be LIVE by this Thursday in Roanoke and fully functional for parents and guardians who have filled out the forms on the RCPS website: https://www.rcps.info/news/what_s_new/durham_bus_tracker_app_available. We are excited to launch this application as we believe this tool will greatly assist parents and guardians in knowing where their student is on a route.
We currently have 17 drivers in training and we expect them to be driving for us within the next few weeks. Additionally, we have received a steady flow of new applications since announcing the $2,500 sign on bonus program for potential drivers."

BRUSSELS (AP) — It's probably not a long-lost painting by Michelangelo. It almost certainly wasn't stolen by a sophisticated gang of international art thieves. But the disappearance of a painting that a priest claimed resembled a work by the Renaissance master has Belgian investigators scratching their heads.
Pastor of the Sint-Ludgeruskerk, Jan Van Raemdonck holds a photo copy of the work Madonna del Silenzio in his office in Zele, Belgium, Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2019. Van Raemdonck is anxiously awaiting news from the police over the theft of the painting from the church that Van Raemdonck believes is from the Renaissance master Michelangelo or another of his pupils.

Pastor of the Sint-Ludgeruskerk, Jan Van Raemdonck stands in an area of the church where a version of the Madonna del Silenzio was stored in Zele, Belgium, Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2019. Van Raemdonck is anxiously awaiting news from the police over a theft of a painting from the church that Van Raemdonck believes is from the Renaissance master himself or perhaps one of his pupils.
The wood-mounted art piece — "The Silence of Our Lady" — was snatched last Friday from the Saint Ludger Church in the town of Zele, 50 kilometers (30 miles) northwest of Brussels. The priest, Jan Van Raemdonck, believes it could be a Michelangelo and says an Italian art expert was due any day to come and authenticate it.
Police have obtained grainy security video of a man walking near the scene before dawn with what appears to be painting propped up against his head. A feat in itself, as the priest says it took three men to place the approximately 5 foot-by-3 foot work on an easel just before Christmas.
"He was not very smart," the priest, who was writing a book about the painting, told The Associated Press. "It was at 5:15 in the morning. Other people passed by him in their cars going to the train station, so I hope other people have seen where he has put that painting in his car, which car it is, and maybe that we can follow him."
Besides the video, police also want to talk to a man between 17 and 20 who a witness saw near the church that morning, wearing a grey hoodie and carrying a dark backpack. While finding out where the painting has gone is a challenge, establishing where it came from is almost a mystery in itself. A Belgian lawmaker is thought to have bought it from a friend who was having financial difficulties. The lawmaker then sold it to an organization that helps the church.
Thirteen years ago, the organization gave it to the church in Zele. It languished in a corner where it couldn't be seen for 11 years, until Van Raemdonck moved it to a more prominent place. Just before Christmas, he proudly put it on display in the middle of the church.
Van Raemdonck says he told very few people about his suspicions that the painting might be a Michelangelo, but despite his enthusiasm for the painting, art experts say it's extremely unlikely the piece is a 16th-century masterpiece.
"This painting is a relatively close copy of Michelangelo's prototype," Didier Martens, an art history professor at the Free University of Brussels, told the AP on Wednesday. "Stylistically there's a clear link with Michelangelo."
Martens said he believes that the painter "only knew Michelangelo's model through an engraving" but said the artist has "succeeded in keeping enough Michelangelo elements in his work." Whatever the painting's origins and the outcome of the investigation, Van Raemdonck has a wealth of new material for his book.
