Age of Empires 4 has been out a few weeks now, and people are having a great time. While the developers are happy for the game's success, they're not resting on their laurels too much. Instead, they're details their plans for the game in the coming year.
Posted on the official Xbox blog, Relic Entertainment has taken community feedback for Age of Empires 4, and have used that to establish a development roadmap for the near future.
The next major update to the game will focus on improvements to both gameplay and performance. From bug fixes to quality of life improvements, we can expect a lot of smaller, happier changes to the game later this year. Some of the listed plans include:
Option to view in-game player scores
Chinese Dynasty button and user interface moved to the bottom-left corner
The ability to view the map post-match
Adjustments to the mini-map
French Hulk Ships will be nerfed
Crossbowmen, Spearmen, and Elite Crossbowmen will be stronger against Cavalry
China's Repeater crossbow will be less expensive
The HRE Prelate can inspire after being pushed
Mongol's Superior Mobility tweaked to work correctly
Fixed the Infinite Relic duplication glitch
After that, and into the new year, is where the meaty content will be coming. In early 2022, we can expect "new ways" of enjoying the game.
The first is with User Generated Content. Using a collection of internal tools, players will be able to build and design their own games, allowing for custom experiences, challenges, and so on. This will open up a door for a nearly endless number of things to do in the game.
The other is the beginning of Ranked Seasons. Over a 12-week span of time, players will be able to participate in competitive PvP gameplay. The better you do, the higher you climb the ladder. Participating can earn you exclusive in-game rewards, too.
There were a number of other aspects that the developers wanted to mention. These components are planned, or at least on their to-do list. They plan on implementing them in the future, but don't have enough to give a concrete release window for them. This includes:
Global Build Queue
Unit Stat Card Improvements
Hotkey Improvements
Taunts and Cheats
AI Difficulty changes
Waypoint Indicators
It's nothing short of inspiring to see such dedication put toward a game. With proper effort, Age of Empires 4 could go on to be the longest living RTS of all time. And efforts like this are a fantastic step toward making that possible. We look forward to these changes in the coming months.
Age of Empires 4 is available now for PC and Xbox, and is also available on Xbox Game Pass.

What our customers are saying about our Holiday Cottages In Marazion To Rent.
"The A4 file about the property needs updating. The telephone number to call if there is a problem with the property, belongs to previous owner (according to previous holiday maker handwritten notes). We had no need to call but felt the file needs a good overhaul. Details about rubbish & recycling were missing - we ended up putting all rubbish in bins outside the property instead of separating & recycling! This needs to be addressed as we felt embarrassed that we didn't know what to do - observation of nearby bins was not helpful. I felt the floors could do with a proper clean. I washed the bathroom floor (on hands & knees with floor cloth on the day of our arrival) as it was dusty, had hairs & looked grey. The change was noticeable. Although there were plenty of vacuum cleaners available - I think a clean with mop & bucket would be better on laminate floors? The views as described & depicted were fantastic. The apartment met our needs in terms of location & facilities but felt it would be better for an update & better cleaning."

The apartment met our needs in terms of location & facilities but felt it would be better for an update & better cleaning."
"Location and in particular the view from the balcony are fabulous and exactly as described, however the balcony itself needs reboarding - every one is loose. For the price charged the property is average and would benefit from a deep clean and general TLC. In particular the laminate floor directly in front of the balcony door is loose and slides 1" or so... I slipped on this and went straight out the door into the balcony rail. The TV sound failed on the first day, the picture a couple of days after that and never came back which was frustrating with a 4 year old in residence. The kitchen is basic and flimsy but adequate, however the frying pans are not suited to an electric hob, don't heat well and need changing. If these things were fixed we would definitely consider booking again, but given the price we feel the property is trading on the view and location and neglecting the property itself."
"Me and family arrived at "S21234" after a last minute decision to spend new years in Cornwall. When we arrived at the property we were welcomed by the owners who are a lovely couple and couldn't do enough to help us settle in for our stay. The location is set enough out of the way to be nice and quiet whilst only being a couple of minutes drive away the nearest shops and pubs and only 10 minutes from Penzance and St Ives where we spent most of our time. We were told that the we were the 1st guests to stay after the refurbishment and all I can say is that it has been finished to a very nice standard. The beds are very comfy and the en-suit was extremely convenient and clean.Many Thanks to the owners for making our stay so easy and accomadting us on such short notice ( 1day).Highly recommendedThanks again."

Q: Iterating over dictionary using __getitem__ in python I've implemented a python class to generate data as follows:
class Array:
    def __init__(self):
        self.arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]

    def __getitem__(self,key):
        return self.arr[key]

a = Array()
for i in a:
    print(i, end = " ")

It runs as expected and I get following
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

However, I want to do the same thing for dictionary. Why am I not able to iterate over dictionary like this?
class Dictionary:
    def __init__(self):
        self.dictionary = {'a' : 1, 'b' : 2, 'c': 3}

    def __getitem__(self,key):
        return self.dictionary[key]
d = Dictionary()
for key in d:
    print(key, d[key], end=" ")

I expect following output
a 1 b 2 c 3

But when I run above code, I get following error :
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-33-4547779db7ec>", line 8, in <module>
    for key in d:

  File "<ipython-input-33-4547779db7ec>", line 6, in __getitem__
    return self.dictionary[key]

KeyError: 0

We can iterate over normal dictionary like this : for key in d. This iterates over all the keys, is it not possible to iterate like this using __getitem__()?

A: A for loop works with iterators, objects you can pass to next. An object is an iterator if it has a __next__ method.
Neither of your classes does, so Python will first pass your object to iter to get an iterator. The first thing iter tries to do is call the object's __iter__ method.
Neither of your classes defines __iter__, either, so iter next checks if its object defines __getitem__. Both of your classes do, so iter returns an object of type iterator, whose __next__ method can be imagined to be something like
def __next__(self):
    try:
        rv = self.thing.__getitem__(self.i)
    except IndexError:
        raise StopIteration
    self.i += 1
    return rv

(The iterator holds a reference to the thing which defined __getitem__, as well as the value of i to track state between calls to __next__. i is presumed to be initialized to 0.)
For Array, this works, because it has integer indices. For Dictionary, though, 0 is not a key, and instead of raising an IndexError, you get a KeyError with the __next__ method does not catch.
(This is alluded to in the documentation for __getitem__:

Note for loops expect that an IndexError will be raised for illegal indexes to allow proper detection of the end of the sequence.

)
To make your Dictionary class iterable, define __iter__
class Dictionary:
    def __init__(self):
        self.dictionary = {'a' : 1, 'b' : 2, 'c': 3}

    def __getitem__(self,key):
        return self.dictionary[key]

    def __iter__(self):
        return iter(self.dictionary)

dict.__iter__ returns a value of type dict_keyiterator, which is the thing that yields the dict's keys, which you can use with Dictionary.__getitem__.

A: Adding the following method to your Dictionary class is sufficient to get it to work:
def __iter__(self):
    return iter(self.dictionary)

Important note: When creating custom classes that are sequences or mappings, you should implement all of the relevant methods. Otherwise, your code (e.g., x in y, for x in y etc) will either be inefficient or broken as you saw in the case of your Dictionary class.
See for more details: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html?emulating-container-types#emulating-container-types.

Fluoride in the form of Sodium Fluoride powder will be added to the Bellingen Shire's reticulated water supplies from today December 1.
Residents have received a letter advising of the commencement date during the past week.
That letter informed them the move was in response to the NSW Department of Health's instructions to start dosing fluoride into the Town's water supply and that council had recently completed construction of two fluoride plants one in Dorrigo the other in Bellingen.
The letter to residents included a fluoridation information booklet "explaining the facts behind the introduction".
Council then went through the design and tender process and the dosing plants were completed in early 2010.
In July 2010 a representative from the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) visited Bellingen and Dorrigo to commission and test the dosing plants.
On 18 October 2010, Dr Clive Wright, Chief Dental Officer for NSW Health wrote to Council with a direction to commence fluoridation of Council's water supplies.
The majority of Bellingen resident have however consistently opposed the introduction of fluoride to local water supplies with around 75 per cent voting against the move in a local plebiscite.
Council said the commencement of fluoridation followed rigorous testing by DEDDW to ensure that the plants installed were functioning correctly. and delivering the recommended dose of fluoride.

Service and experience have always been a primary focus for restaurants, as they strive to create a unique experience for their customers. This includes the ambience, service and food that restaurants design to leave customers with a lasting and positive feeling that makes them want to return. Just as restaurants curate their customers' dine-in experiences, it is equally important to consider the experience for those ordering takeout and delivery as well. According to research by Frederick Reichheld of Bain & Company, increasing customer retention rates by 5%, increases profits by 25% to 95%. Providing a positive and efficient experience to customers within the takeout and delivery interaction only helps to strengthen retention value and increase revenue.
It is estimated that 69% of the entire US population orders their goods through channels of e-commerce. Google receives 63,000 search inquiries per second every day, and these numbers are growing every year. Clearly, consumers are using the internet to purchase their goods and gather their information. Many businesses create e-commerce markets while preserving their unique culture and brand, and the restaurant business is no exception to this. Creating an efficient online ordering experience for your customers is not only recommended, it's becoming a necessity. It's estimated that by 2020 if a restaurant does not provide an effective online delivery and takeout solution, it could lose 70% of its customers. Like most good and successful endeavors, it's about how you do it that makes the biggest difference.
As we mentioned in our series How to Ensure your Website is Maximizing Online Ordering, customers should able to find what they are looking for within the first 15 seconds of visiting the site. Not only that, but based on the dependency of Google Searches, being able to search for your restaurant and find it immediately within a search prompt is vital.
The customer experience should be easy to navigate and use within seconds. If the online ordering button on your website is hard to find, hidden within multiple pages, or clumped together with multiple online ordering options, this creates nothing but frustration for the customer. Have one single "Order Online" button, make it easy to find and make sure it matches your website aesthetic. A consistent and up-to-date online menu is also key to the experience.
Automation in the online ordering sector is inevitable, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice the heart and soul of your restaurant. Customers want the convenience of finding you online, and the ease of use it takes to order, not because they want just any food, it's because they want your food. They have sought it out for a reason. They want your brand, your story, your flavors and the experience your restaurant creates through that. A customer should feel as though they experience what is currently happening inside of a restaurant as they add items into their cart. Brand preservation is key and should be a priority when developing your online ordering experience. Branded online ordering solutions like ChowNow offer the results of automation, while preserving those elements of a restaurant that attracted the customer in the first place.
Just because a customer has placed a takeout order online doesn't mean that their in-store pick-up experience should suffer. A restaurant should have clear and consistent procedures to ensure these customers are treated in an efficient and positive manner.
Is there a designated pick-up area?
Do customers understand where to go once they enter the store?
Has the staff been trained in case customers have questions about their order?
Who's in charge if something is missing from the order?
Has the to-go packaging been vetted to ensure maximum enjoyment once the customer starts to eat their food?
These are all questions that will contribute to a seamless pick-up experience for the customer.
To provide some more insight, let's take a look at a real-life example of a restaurant that recognized their pick-up experience was subpar for their online ordering customers and decided to implement change.
This burger joint located in Colorado is quite small and gets very busy especially during lunch hours, so they rolled out online ordering to help with the long lines. What actually happened, though, was the online ordering customers would arrive at the restaurant and wait in the same line as in-store customers due to a lack of direction. This created frustration with these customers who ordered online as many of them likely did so to save time and skip the line.
These simple changes have proven to directly impact this restaurant's takeout revenue. Their online takeout revenue increased by 22% the month after they implemented these new processes.
The Skirted Heifer used engaging flyers to promote their improved online order pick-up experience.
Taking the learnings from this Colorado restaurant, it is important to look at it from a customer's point of view when implementing your own online food ordering system. First, ensure that a brand-new customer will be able to identify easily where to go to pick up their food once they get to the restaurant by having a designated pick-up location along with a fun visible sign directing customers to that chosen area. If that isn't consistent with your brand or aesthetic, ensure that your staff is properly trained and knows where to direct online ordering customers.
Make sure you have one staff member that owns the online ordering pick-up experience. This is the person that ensures orders are fulfilled and service remains top notch: it could be a hostess, bartender or other selected restaurant staff.
Ensure that the packaging preserves your food and creates an experience as close to dine-in as possible. Check out US Foods® comprehensive line of packaging options to explore some of the best options on the market.
Lastly, have fun and make sure to weave your brand throughout the experience with branded packaging, fun marketing messages in every to-go bag, email marketing to your customers or takeout and in-dining promotions. The options are only limited by your imagination, and the ChowNow Restaurant Success Team is always available to consult and discuss opportunities for growth.
As you continue to monitor and optimize the online ordering experience for your customers, keep in mind the ultimate goal: to provide your great food and experience every step of the way. This creates consistency from inside the store to the digital platform and will have a great impact on the strengthening of your brand, loyal customer base and revenue.

Relapse in Drug Addiction
April 8, 2022 AllenBusiness
Addressing the overall meeting for the "Society of Neuroscience" in 1997, Dr. Ramachandran made remark that "there is a neural foundation for spiritual enjoy." Ramachandran's radical declaration catapulted neurotheology nicely into the public eye. The aim of neurotheology is to impeach "explore theology from a neurological perspective…Assisting us to understand the human urge for religion and religious delusion" (Newberg, D'Aquili & Rause 2001, p177). Neurotheologians deal with this through varying medical strategies. Ultimately, can the sort of motion disprove the lifestyles of God?
Newberg and D'aquili (2001, pp3-10) explored the connection among mind feature and spiritual experience in Tibetan Monks and Franciscan Nuns as they engaged in deep meditation and prayer. Injecting a radioactive tracer into the arm of the difficulty on cue as they entered into deep meditative state, the tracer detected regions of the mind wherein there was an boom in neuronal hobby and blood attention. Images taken by way of SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computerised Tomograph) picked up a dramatic growth of neuronal hobby inside the prefrontal cortex, the place of the brain associated with interest and attention. However the parietal lobe, the region associated with time concept and spaceial orientation, showed very little hobby. With restrained neuronal hobby, the parietal lobe is unable to distinguish the boundary among the external world and the physical self. This should account for the mediators reporting a 'sense of cohesion' with the universe and a 'mingling with God' at some point of excessive trance (Newberg et al 2001, p7).
Newberg et al, 2001, (p40) describes the state completed for the duration of meditation as 'Hyperquiescence', a kingdom of "top notch relaxation". Intense evokation during meditation results in the situation stepping into a kingdom of general tranquility wherein private feeling, bodily sensations and mind are constrained from invading cognizance.
Researchers on the University of California, San Diego, accept as true with they have observed the 'God Spot', a place of the brain with becomes hyper sensitive and inspired at some Clínica de Reabilitação em Suzano point of moments of deep religious mirrored image. Located inside the frontal cortex, this region is concurrent with where Eastern Religions understand the 'Third Eye'. Some historical religious sects practiced 'tapping', an operation to reduce a small hollow into the cranium round this vicinity, as they considered it to enhance non-public spiritual recognition. (Peet, 1998).
During the 1950's, Penfield carried out a chain of experimental operations on patients who suffered seizures inside the frontal cortex location and temporal lobe areas. Using simplest local anesthetic, Penfield requested the affected person to vocalize their feelings and emotions as he accessed one of a kind areas of the brain. Akin to the reported enhancements as a result of tapping, sufferers answered to sensation inside the temporal lobe by means of experiencing emotions of paranormal, non secular presence and 'cosmic consciousness.' Significantly, it become cited that harsh manipulation of the temporal lobe all through the operation precipitated the patient to enjoy an emotional imbalance to terrible impact, (i.E) emotions of worry, but mild stimulation evoked feelings of elation and pleasure. (Chapman )(date unknown)1.
Beaumont, Kenealy and Rogers (1999, p ) comment that "There is a medical impression that some sufferers with proper hemispheric temporal lobe lesions undergo an accelerated in religiousness, every so often to the extent that the time period 'Hyper religiosity' is relevant". This statement is upheld via Joseph (1997) who notes that development of epilepsy in the temporal lobe and limbic hyper-activation regularly purpose the affected person to obsess over non secular characters, texts and ideals. Many patients claim to 'meet' God throughout seizures and in the end begin to act in 'religiously vast' methods, for example obsessive preaching or evangelising. Ramachandran noted that temporal lobe epileptics have a tendency to have "a heightened reaction to non secular language, particularly spiritual phrases and icons", together with obsession over 'non secular topics' (Newberg et al 2001, p32 & 185).
Based on observations of the situation, radical theologians and neuroscientists have cited a robust opportunity that some charismatic non secular forefathers, along with Moses, St. Paul and Mohammad were patients of temporal lobe epilepsy. This is due to the reality that reports of their behaviour seem to healthy carefully with the ones of temporal lobe epilepsy patients. Mohammad, as fable states, first encountered the Angel Gabriel after being 'roused' from sleep, and was recorded as often getting into prophetic trance after dropping recognition. St. Paul's hyper religiousity can be traced through lifestyles, first as a Zealot, thru the Damascus transfiguration and into full-size evangelisation (Romans – Thessalonians). Moses, dramatically appeared to have suffered 'Kulver-Bucy' syndrome (severe sexual and deviant preference associated with temporal lobe epilepsy) along with hyper religiousity and exaggerated aggression. However, as those characters existed more than 2,000 years ago, and with no testable proof last, you possibly can handiest speculate as to the quantity in their conditions.

DJ Valium är en tysk eurotrancegrupp skapad av Axel Konrad och Ole Wierk (samma team som för Groove Coverage och Baracuda). Gruppen skapades 1998 och runt 2000 fick de även en sångerska Tanja Korb (artistnamn Tat Morena).

Gruppen fick 2002 en stor hit i Frankrike och Asien med en cover på Michel Zager Bands låt Let's all chant. Efter denna succé blev de kontaktade av ett läkemedelsbolag som sade att de inte fick använda namnet DJ Valium p.g.a. upphovsrätt. De bytte då namn till Dj Volume och släppte ytterligare en singel 2004. Därefter har det varit tyst från gruppen, till viss del p.g.a. att man satsat på sin andra grupp Groove Coverage som slagit igenom stort.

GLAD To Be Two
In two years, more than 30,000 people have decided to help understand the genetic basis of anxiety and depression, joining the GLAD programme
King's Award. Left to right: Molly Davies, Professor Thalia Eley, Professor Gerome Breen, Henry Rogers
In September 2018, the GLAD study set out to recruit 40,000 people with either condition or both, making it the largest study of its type. Two years later, more than 30,000 people have helped and we are grateful to all of them for making this study a success.
The response of the public to the project has exceeded expectations. And the programme is active once more, having been temporarily halted in March due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Anxiety and depression are the most common psychiatric conditions, affecting about three in ten people. The aim of the GLAD Study is to understand depression and anxiety better, in order to find effective treatments and improve the lives of people experiencing these disorders.
It is thought that variations in many genes might play a role in both conditions. Genetic factors are thought to account for 60% of the differences between repeatedly affected people and unaffected people. Over 24,000 people have provided their saliva for genetic analysis.
"We've been staggered by the generous response of people affected by anxiety or depression," says Professor Thalia Eley, based at King's College London, who is co-lead for the programme. "Each has made a considered commitment to support our work to understand the causes of anxiety and depression: we are grateful to every person.
"Improvements in technology and analysis over the past few years mean our ability to uncover the genetic links to disease has improved dramatically. We hope we will provide an impetus to better diagnose and treat these conditions."
GLAD is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), and is a collaboration between the NIHR BioResource and King's College London.

Trust: The staying power of word-of-mouth
I feel compelled to bring up a topic that's been in the news of late, and as a result could inaccurately color the overall perception of social media generally and influencer marketing in particular. It's no stretch to say that the major social channels (mainly Facebook & Twitter) have gotten a sizeable portion of bad press of late, much of it richly deserved. There are accusations that Facebook specifically took a – shall we say – cavalier approach to user privacy concerns; not to mention that many, if not most or all of its user data was comprised in some fashion or another.
This fact has called for a reassessment of Facebook's business model, security practices and privacy policies. The situation has even created an existential crisis around what, if any, societal value Facebook presents to its users on balance. But rather than point out Facebook's myriad flaws and ultimately get into a philosophical debate about its value to society on the whole, I'd rather point out that there are alternatives. One of them has been around far longer than the internet, and its durability leads me to think that it's more likely to survive over Facebook and its ilk. Word-of-mouth referral is as old as time, and in comparison to Facebook it's in many ways the antithesis of the vapid, quick-hit social terrain claimed by Facebook. While both are indeed subject to manipulation and/or corruption, word-of-mouth has built-in safeguards that give it an inherent advantage to "traditional" social media (or, rather, what's traditionally thought of as social media in this day and age).
Additionally, both word-of-mouth and social media offer the similar advantages of sharing, interactivity and immediacy of access. Both have in common the near-ubiquity afforded by search engine access. And, both offer the seeming interpersonal aspect of the interactions. And yet, they're different enough that it's best to view social media as an entry point into word of mouth-related interactions.
By way of contrast, word of mouth goes much further beyond social media because it also relies almost exclusively on reputation, which hinges on two key characteristics: identity and recourse. These two features bind users on either side of a word-of-mouth exchange in ways that simply do not exist on the platforms that more commonly come to mind when thinking of "social media." Look at it this way: apart from the obvious differences in length, depth and "texture" (preference for nuanced argument), how does a Facebook or Twitter rant contrast with a video product review? For one, the goals are vastly different, even if superficially they appear to be the same – i.e., to persuade.
But even before it seeks to persuade, social media in large part (if not entirely) serves as a means for the poster to demonstrate knowledge, access, conviction and/or savvy. In other words, digging below the surface, social posts' primary objective is for the poster to feel good about themselves. It may then wheel about and head in the direction of persuasion, but it still remains clear to both audience and poster (if only subliminally) that the poster's principal goal is to make themselves feel important, by way of their demonstration of knowledge, access, conviction, savvy, or what have you. Whether the poster is right or wrong is hardly the point – in fact, opening up a debate may be an ulterior motive. In any case, it's fair to say that social media isn't the best resource place for edification.
In marked contrast, word-of-mouth content is intimately tied to individuals, which allows its audience a measure of recourse that social media does not. At its core, word-of-mouth's reason for being is to bring two or more individuals together to advance an argument via the exchange of information, ideas and opinion. This requires that an individual validate their identity, or else they will never gain an audience of any import. And it is this identity that creates a basis for understanding – trust – between the individuals in question. Very simply, absent identity, there is no way to validate the speaker's authority. In such a contrary state of affairs, word-of-mouth would have no value to offer and thus would devolve into the realm of – you guessed it – what we see today on social media. (All of which goes a long way toward the argument for forcing online identity – but that's another story.)
In a lot of ways it comes down to the fact that word of mouth binds two individuals directly together
It's all rather a bit unsettling. And yet, you use word-of-mouth in your everyday life — which only further underscores its value. On the other hand, how much would you really lose if Facebook and its ilk went away?
There is something comfortable in the fact that, despite the upheaval in today's world and social media's role in that, there are tried-and-true sources of value and stability. Word-of-mouth is one of them.

An allegory about unconfessed sin.
A young boy was visiting his grandparents on their farm, and was playing with a slingshot his grandfather gave him. He practiced for quite a while in the woods, but no matter how hard he tried, he could never hit what he was aiming at. After a while he became discouraged and decided to head back to the house.
As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Out of impulse, he took a shot and hit the duck square in the head, killing it. He was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his sister watching. Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.
So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed behind.
After several days of Johnny doing both his and Sally's chores, he decided he couldn't stand it any longer. He went to his Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.
I don't know what's in your past. I don't know what one sin the enemy keeps throwing up in your face. But whatever it is, I want you to know something. Jesus Christ was standing at the window. And He saw the whole thing. But because He loves you, He has forgiven you. Perhaps He's wondering how long you'll let the enemy make a slave out of you. The great thing about God is that He not only forgives, but He forgets.


Kristel and the rest of the Pride YMM Committee began to plan this event began in January of 2017. More long-term goals, such as a rainbow crosswalk, are on the horizon– but for now they are focusing on creating a fun event that will increase LGBTQ+ visibility in Fort McMurray. As a mother, ensuring that the event is family-friendly is important to Kristel. When she first came to Fort McMurray over a decade ago she was less forthcoming with her identity, but she found that not being her authentic self was "not fun." Pride YMM is increasing the inclusivity of our community, and making it a better place for everyone to be themselves.

Live Review: John Vanderslice/Bishop Allen
by Tyler Weir
As the fall touring schedules began emerging, I made up my mind that I was going to stop checking them and save myself the regret of not being able to participate. Countless times in the past I'd made the conscious choice of being a shut-in regardless of who was coming to Florida. That is if we down yonder are lucky enough to even get dates for artists of the indie persuasion that have any kind of stripes. It's commonplace for tours to go as far south as Atlanta (unless your name is Sufjan it's just too far too drive for a singular show) before either turning back north, heading west, or truncating altogether. If the Sunshine State is included on the itinerary, seldom do the shows come further south than Orlando.
Aside from Yo La Tengo in February (which I sat out), I can't recall the last time a can't-miss artist came to Tampa. On top of all the reluctance was the fact that I'm in the middle of one of those lengthy personal hiatuses in which for all intents and purposes one manages to fall of the face of the Earth. This summer I'd initially mulled over the prospect of seeing Bishop Allen, before succumbing to said hiatuses, the two hour drive to Orlando, lack of funds, and otherwise just plain "not feeling it". I was also under the impression that Bishop Allen was now popular enough to be the headliner but to my initial dismay that was inaccurate. So with everything stacked on the con-side it was a dead issue in my eyes and I wouldn't be attending.
Of course since you're reading this it can be inferred that I indeed ended up going after all (not without a shit-ton of coaxing). Since I hadn't planned on going I found myself with the unforeseen luxury of having relaxed my expectations and for one of the first times in recent memory I was able to overcome my headcase tendencies and just go with the flow. As we waited for Bishop Allen to take the stage both John Vanderslice and Alan Peoples…err Justin Rice roamed amongst the crowd as for a second I mulled over asking Rice if he had come up with a name for the "cool inclusive" club.
All shameless "Mutual Appreciation" references aside, Bishop Allen opened with "The Same Fire" a song that was far better live that the studio version of the June EP. "Rain" was memorable; more because its beauty can't be tarnished even if the first half of Bishop Allen's set seemed to lack passion. It could have been on account of it being the tour's opening night or that Rice appeared to be under the weather as there's been a bug going around for a couple of weeks in these parts. One concertgoer was even inclined to don a dust mask, which me being an unsympathetic asshole, found to be unfashionable as hell.
It wasn't until "Queen of the Rummage Sale" that Bishop Allen hit their stride on the talent of Rice and his corroborator Christian Rudder. "Queen" led into a rendition of "Middle Management" which was as bouncy as one would expect, followed by the customary, representative, and possibly most household Bishop Allen track, "Things are What You Make of Them". The band used a lovely medley of two ballads to close out their set on a somber yet lasting note, meshing "Flight 180" and "Eve of Destruction" (sans Charm School namedropping pseudo-rap intro).
There couldn't have been more than 200 people at The Social and the crowd seemed split amongst both bands, though the most energetic trio of fans would belong to John Vanderslice. What I knew about John Vanderslice was that as a veteran of the indie scene he has put out a handful of records, the most recent of which, Emerald City, I was fairly familiar with and vaguely knew of his past staple songs ("Exodus Damage," "Trance Manual").
Vanderslice played all but two songs off of Emerald City, opening with "Kookaburra," "Time to Go," and "Tablespoon of Codeine." JV's band of adept players included Dave Douglas on drums, Ian Bjornstad on keyboard, and the much heralded Daniel Hart wielding the violin. After going into the archives for one of my favorite tracks, "Exodus Damage," Vanderslice played "Angela"—about a runaway bunny and "Trance Manual." At mid-show each of the three supporting members would depart the stage in sequence until it was just Vanderslice and Hart left for "Dear Sarah Shu," when Hart told the crowd of his fantasy of having a "double-necked violin with extra strings and a goblin head at the top that sprays slime, like from Ghostbusters, on the crowd as his playing intensifies." With just himself on stage of "Numbered Lithograph," JV put out a fantastic rendition in which he relied on rapping his fist on the acoustic guitar for percussion. Playing newer favorites such as "The Parade" and "White Dove" as well as older ones "Me and My 424" and "Pale Horse," Vanderslice played with a sincerity which is seldom seen, offering himself to fans during the strong set, lingering afterwards to talk to just about everyone who enjoyed his company. The night's crowning moment was the closing song "Keep the Dream Alive" in which JV turned it into a takeaway show (a la La Blogothèque) as we poured onto the downtown Orlando street. Baffling bystanders, transients, and street rappers, we joined Vanderslice in performing a stripped down, unitary version of "Time Travel Is Lonely" on a windy September night that would signify the start of fall in this ungodly humid part of the country. Myself, I've been left with a concert memory that may even surpass seeing "Majesty Snowbird" performed live.

Q: OpenCart Adding Class to Product Options Currently trying to wrap my head around something in OpenCart. It's been years since I have done anything with PHP so having a little trouble. I'm redirecting clicks of href links in to the same div the page is in but some href links need to be ignored because they add elements to the page. I'm ignoring them with a not() selector via my own class I am adding to links I want to ignore, though having trouble adding a class to some links.
For example on the products form for adding products there's an option tab which lets you add different options such as check boxes and date/time. The drop down menu for adding these options has some href links that I can't seem to figure out how to add a class to.
Here's a pastebin to the product_form.php: http://pastebin.com/Fchxw8XG
Here's a look at the actual pages html through chrome dev tools:
I just need to figure out how to add a class called navtab to these dropdown links so I can ignore them.

A: So I figured it out, I didn't even need to do anything directly to the URL. Instead I am just detecting when a link is clicked in that div (the option dropdown is the only links in there) and I am adding a class on click and then processing the rest of my script.
Here's what I originally had;
$("#products").on("click", "a:not(.navtab, #)", function (e) {
    $("#products").load($(this).attr("href"));
    e.preventDefault();
});

So it will ignore any link with the class navtab, but I needed to add the class so before this runs I run this:
$(function(){
    var option = $('#tab-option');
    option.delegate('a','click',function(){
        option.addClass('navtab');
        $(this).addClass('navtab');
    });
});

Founded in 1867 as Saint Augustine's Normal School by Episcopal clergy to educate freed slaves, this historically black institution institution changed its name to Saint Augustine's School in 1893 and then to Saint Augustine's Junior College in 1919 when it began offering college-level coursework. It began offering coursework leading to a four-year degree in 1927 and changed its name to Saint Augustine's College one year later. The first baccalaureate degrees were awarded in 1931.

Chair Volleyball is great fun for people of all ages from young to Seniors. It's a great physical activity that provides a fun way to be active. Because players are required to remain seated (players are allowed to lift one side of their body, but are not permitted to rise completely off of the chair), chair volleyball allows those with physical limitations to participate on a level playing field with those who may be more active. Regular participation in this activity can increase flexibility, stamina and laughter!
This is a completely free class. The ideal number of people to play a game is 3-4 per side. Gather a group of friends and learn a new skill.
Dates: September 6, 2018 through May 30, 2019.
Day: Thursdays except not on 11/22/18 or 12/27/18 due to the holiday.

In political science, constitutional autochthony is the process of asserting constitutional nationalism from an external legal or political power. The source of autochthony is the Greek word αὐτόχθων translated as springing from the land. It usually means the assertion of not just the concept of autonomy, but also the concept that the constitution derives from their own native traditions.  The autochthony, or home grown nature of constitutions, give them authenticity and effectiveness.  It was important in the making and revising of the constitutions of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Ghana, South Africa, Sierra Leone, Zambia and many other members of the British Commonwealth.

This proposition found doctrinal support in the influential theory propounded by the legal philosopher, Hans Kelsen, which had it that it was inconceivable for a legal system to split into two independent legal systems through a purely legal process. One of the implications of Kelsen's theory was that the basic norm (grundnorm) of the imperial predecessor's Constitution would continue to be at the helm of the legal system of the newly liberated former colony despite the legal transfer of power, precisely because the transfer of power was recognised as 'legal' by the Constitution of the imperial predecessor.

Ireland
A process of constitutional autochthony occurred in the Irish Free State between 1932 and 1937. The Fianna Fáil government elected in 1932 led by Éamon de Valera, who had opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1922 that had created the state, stripped the Irish Free State of many of the state symbols that it saw as being overtly reminiscent of British rule. Among the amendments made to the Constitution were the abolition of the Oath of Allegiance (by the Constitution (Removal of Oath) Act 1933), appeals to the United Kingdom's Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (by the Constitution (Amendment No. 22) Act 1933), and the office of the Governor-General (by the Constitution (Amendment No. 27) Act 1936). The abdication of Edward VIII in December 1936 was used to significantly redefine the royal connection.

In 1937, the Irish Government introduced a whole new constitution that replaced the 1922 Constitution, which as originally enacted had been agreed with the British Government following the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty. This changed the legal name of the country to Ireland (in English) and Éire (in Irish). It was possibly a break of legal continuity, since the new constitution was not enacted by the Dail but merely approved by it pending a plebiscite through statute, but was instead given legitimacy by the people of Ireland through a plebiscite.

The process de Valera engaged in from 1932 to 1937 has been described by Professor John M. Kelly and others as 'constitutional autochthony'.

India
Independence was formally granted to India by the enactment of the Indian Independence Act 1947 though the executive decision to grant India independence was arrived at earlier in the Cabinet Mission Plan in 1946. It was under this Plan that the Constituent Assembly was envisaged and charged with the mandate of drafting the new Constitution for India. This was legally recognised in Section 8 of the Independence Act. The Cabinet Mission Plan had envisaged that the new Constitution would be put to the Crown-in-Parliament for approval.

The framers introduced two deliberate procedural errors in the enactment of the Constitution of India in violation of the Independence Act:
 They did not put the Constitution to the approval of the either the British Parliament as envisaged by the Cabinet Mission Plan or the Governor-General as envisaged in the Indian Independence Act 1947;
 Following the Irish precedent, Article 395 of the Constitution of India repealed the Indian Independence Act — something the Constituent Assembly did not have the authorisation to do.
In doing so, the framers not only repudiated the source which authorised them to enact the Constitution but it was also a denial, albeit symbolic, of Indian independence being a grant of the imperial Crown-in-Parliament.

A 15-year-old boy found in a burning trash can on the West Side last month died from burns and his death has been ruled a homicide by the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Demetrius Griffin Jr., a freshman at Steinmetz High School, was found around 1:30 a.m. Sept. 17 in an alley in the 5500 block of West Cortez Street, hours after he missed his curfew, according to his family.
His body was found burned beyond recognition, and it took the medical examiner's office nearly a month to determine the cause and manner of death.
Police have reported no arrests.
During a vigil days after he was killed, Demetrius' mother, Polly Sykes, called on her neighbors in the South Austin community to come forward with any information about the slaying.
"They killed my baby out here, in this alley. You know something," she said. "Please come forward. They took my life."

This week I find the opportunity to make a social commentary on another song of our past. Farther down in this issue you will see that John Drummond also submitted his own comments on this song, and I am not trying to steal his thunder, but I have my own little short story about it. Now, the truth be known, the song actually came out in 1967 which is a little beyond our high school graduations, but still close enough to allow it to be mentioned.
I always like this song, did, do, and will as long as my memory will serve me. Though I was living in Memphis when the song became popular, some of the lyrics took me back to my happier days in Huntsville. One verse talks about "slipping and sliding all along the waterfall" immediately took my thoughts back to my days at Central Presbyterian Church and the church summer camp where I spent many, happy weeks in my early childhood. We went to camp at "Camp Ovoca" in Tullahoma, Tennessee. I probably went there three or four summers in my pre-teen to early teen ages.
From the web I found that Ovoca consisted of approximately 400 acres of woodland and farming with many tranquil settings, including a lake and beautiful 70 foot waterfall, located about two miles from Tullahoma. Ovoca was purchased in 1908 at a cost of $6,000.00 by the Knights of Pithiest for a Pythian home for widows and orphans. Numerous buildings were built on the site including a home, barn, cottages, administrative building, dormitories, dining hall, etc. Also a beautiful camping and picnic area was built on this property near the beautiful waterfalls for the use of church groups and other visitors. Below is a picture I found on the web of the dining hall at the top of the hill as I remember it.
But the slipping and sliding along the waterfall at Ovoca is not the premier intent of this reflection about censorship. There is another verse in the song which had special meaning to me and probably some others as well, even though it cannot be taken literally - at least not by me. That verse is the one that came under the censor's pen in Memphis. The version as originally recorded was "making love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you, a brown eyed girl." Well, I supposed the powers at be decided that "making love" was not the innocent "making out" of our teenage years but a more literal modern TV definition and so on the Memphis stations the verse somehow became more tame by changing that verse to "laughing and running, behind the stadium." To me the stadium was the new stadium in Huntsville that would eventually become Milton Frank Stadium, and the green grass behind it was Braham Spring Park.
To prove this to myself, I looked it up on Wikipedia on the web and found this information. "The song's nostalgic lyrics about a former love were considered too suggestive at the time to be played on many radio stations. A radio-edit of the song was released which removed the lyrics "making love in the green grass", replacing them with "laughin' and a-runnin', hey hey" from a previous verse. This edited version appears on some copies of the compilation album The Best of Van Morrison. However the remastered CD seems to have the bowdlerized lyrics in the packaging but the original "racy" lyrics on the disc. Lyrically, it "shows early hints of the idealized pastoral landscapes that would flow through his songs through the decades, a tendency that links him to the Romantic poets, whom Morrison has cited as an influence" according to music journalist Erik Hage."
It played that way for years, even when I moved back to Memphis in 1988. It grated against my nerve each time I heard the sanitized version of it that spoiled my thought chain of some happier times. Finally, though, on today's playings, it is back to "making love in the green grass." It is odd today to think that stations did that back then, especially when you listen to the songs we hear today.
To celebrate the year we all became eligible for medicare, four of us took a New England and Canada fall color cruise. We're still close friends after all these years. In the picture are (left to right) Darla Gentry Steinbert, Kathy Harris Jones, Lynn Bozeman Van Pelt, and Linda Collinsworth Provost. We are all from the LHS Class of '66.
The following is my most current list of Lee High School Veterans from the Classes of '64-'66 followed by '67. Please check it over and if you are a veteran and do not see your name listed or you know of a classmate from these years who was a veteran and is not listed please email me immediately at tommytowery@gmail.com If you need to correct your information please do the same. I need a complete list for the upcoming Veteran's Day Salute. I am also looking for any classmate who received a Silver Star or higher decoration.
John Drummond, LHS '65 - Picture this scene: you are at a dance, or a concert, and late in the evening the band strikes up "Brown-Eyed Girl." If you do not immediately begin moving and/or singing along, you are either A) completely deaf or B) clinically dead. This electric show-stopper is often played as an encore to the delight of wildly cheering dancers of our generation. A more mellow tune is "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" by Herman and the Hermits, lyrics performed by the toothy Brit lead singer, Peter Noone; the Hermits played a big part in The British Invasion of the 1960s.
Tommy Towery, LHS '64 - You read my story above about my favorite song, but it would be a shame not to at least mention one of the other great rock-and-roll hits featuring "brown" in the title. That would be a classic from Chuck Berry.
I'm getting used to the new format and it is working out great. I especially loved the instruction page that was the intro... I thought to myself "that sounded as if Tommy was a little frustrated". I was feeling good about the fact that I however, did not have to be hand held to get through it until I remembered that I can barely operate this computer and absolutely refuse to start texting! Never the less the new Traveler is just a smarter sleeker version... a 'grown up' edition if you will. I went through the 'Hall of Memories' again tonight and that is probably the single most touching thing about your whole endeavor. It is just hard to believe that so many are gone. I'm sure you know but there are several other teachers who are no longer with us...Jimmy Blackburn, Fulton Hamilton, Cecil Fain all come to mind and I am sure there are others.
Excellent article! Kudos! I call your attention to the surprisingly excellent rendition by Gene Autry. Also, presently, Bobby Horton's, the Cumberland Three's, and, especially, Hoyt Axton's renditions of Yellow Rose of Texas. Mr. Axton's is particularly poignant. The demise of camp ground music is rather a sad aspect of the quantum revolution.
While I find the new format to lack the charm and comfort of the previous, I quite understand the analysis and if it gives you wider scope for your considerable talents then it is more than worth the change.
First, let me say, Greetings to the Fami-Lee.
Second, I also was a devotee of the Gray Ghost. I may not remember the story line but I can still picture the star of the program in my mind and remember a couple of scenes.
Third, it is a little known fact but the "Yellow Rose of Texas" refers to a black woman of mixed blood. Long years ago such women were black by legal definition if they had more than a certain fraction of black blood, I believe it was 1/64. A colloquial term for persons of a certain mixture of white and black blood was "a high yellow".
The foregoing information about the song was something I heard while listening to the radio one day years ago. The DJ announced this after playing the song.
If anyone has information to the contrary please feel free to correct this.

Bleachers @ Emo's (Sept. 19, 2017)
Pictures and Words by David Brendan Hall
"This is our first headline show in Austin!" exclaimed Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff toward the beginning of the band's Tuesday night show at the storied Central Texas venue. "We've been waiting five fuckin' years for this!"
His exuberance wasn't totally lost on the sprawling sea of fans, who screamed along heartily to a slew of rock anthems, most pulled from recently released sophomore album Gone Now. What those among the capacity crowd might not have realized is just how lucky they were to witness this show in such an intimate space.
Antonoff's meteoric rise over the past few years from "the guitarist in fun." (still owned by way of a reworked cover of hit "Carry On") to producer and co-songwriter for Taylor Swift and Lorde has clearly added thrust to his position as this band's frontman. Never mind that Bleachers' sonics and stage presence already parallel those of golden-era Bruce Springsteen; the immensity of both their sound and on-stage energy during gigs this past year and especially this night – particularly during double-drumkit, soaring-sax-solo sing-alongs like "Goodmorning," "Everybody Lost Somebody," and "You're Still a Mystery" – should be a beacon for arena bookers the world over.
Not just for his powerful songwriting, but also equally for a quick instinct to humbly bestow his fans with all the credit, Antonoff is a perfect candidate to lead the new-contemporary contingent of those mustering massive, rock-fueled catharsis.
"This is a full-on Austin-doesn't-fuck-around situation!" he offered, beaming like he was born for this.
