St. Andrew's Day Playlist
In the past I've posted playlists for St. David's Day (obviously, home nation and that) and St. Patrick's Day. About time I posted something for my Celtic brothers up north.
The following list is not meant to be exhaustive, rather it showcases a number of bands/musicians who hail from Scotland. In some cases, there's just one band member who fits the bill – for example, Garbage (supervixen vocalist Shirley Manson being Scottish). But there's some connection to Scotland that means the artist is on the playlist.
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band – "Faith Healer"
The Average White Band – "Pick Up The Pieces"
The Skids – "Into The Valley"
The Jesus and Mary Chain – "April Skies"
Primal Scream – "Jailbird"
Alestorm – "Flower of Scotland"
The Exploited – "Attack"
The Proclaimers – "Born Innocent"
Big Country – "In a Big Country"
The Vaselines – "Molly's Lips"
Garbage – "Only Happy When it Rains"
Mogwai – "San Pedro"
The Rezillos – "Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight"
Simple Minds – "Promised You a Miracle"
Lulu – "The Man with the Golden Gun"
Stiltskin – "Inside"
Ultravox – "Vienna"
Sean Connery – "in My Life"
There are a few other bands in my collection that probably could have made the list, like The Sweet for example (singer Brian Connolly was born in Glasgow). But you won't find any Wet Wet Wet, Travis or Texas anywhere near my record collection.
Yes, you did read number 21 correctly.
Should Rod Stewart be on the list…?

Vinylicious – Chester Vinyl Night #2
Vinylicious
The Lock Keeper, Chester
And lo, for the second Vinyl Night in Chester, a name was bestowed upon the event: Vinylicious.
The Lock Keeper pub graciously invited the gang back for a second round of Bring Your Own Vinyl Night, held again in their upstairs function room. The concept remained unchanged: bring along some records; play a 15 minute set; have a few drinkies. As always, it was VINYL ONLY.
This time my set ran like this:
Dead Kennedys – Holiday in Cambodia
Just like last time, I messed up my first song. I'd intended to play "California Uber Alles", but neglected to check the running order on the sleeve. Preferring to go from memory, I cued up "Holiday in Cambodia" by mistake. As previous, this was no major catastrophe – both songs are brilliant (I just felt my original choice fitted better with my loose theme). This fantastic piece of US punk can be found on the essential "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" album, and if you don't own it – you should.
Rage Against the Machine – Know Your Enemy
It wasn't easy to pick just one song from the classic first RATM album. I chose "Know Your Enemy" as it both fit the theme and rocks like a bastard. I love all of the Rage Against the Machine albums, but the first one is legendary. This song has a full fat riff; pounding rhythm; and aggressive lyrics. Perfect. Some mad guitar effects from Tom Morello too.
Public Enemy – Prophets of Rage
A nice link from RATM to PE: Prophets of Rage is the name of the new group featuring members of both (along with B-Real from Cypress Hill). Plus this track, taken from the total master piece that is "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back", is a total monster. Chuck D rhymes with cool style over a hard beat, creating a song that is infectious and immediate. Indispensable hip hop.
Corrosion of Conformity – Shallow Ground/Vote with a Bullet
Yes, I was a bit cheeky and played two songs! I figured, what the hell. Both tracks are from the fantastic "Blind" album, that announced the steady rise of COC to the top of the 90's metal scene. "Shallow Ground" is a really nice mellow number, quite uncharacteristic and providing contrast to the other album tracks. It lulls the listener into a false sense of security… The next track, "Vote with a Bullet", is one of the greatest heavy riffs of all time. It's incessant and pounding, sounding like Thor's hammer smashing a mountain to pieces. Absolutely love it!
Did you guess the "loose" theme? Well, with the shock result of the US presidential election, I couldn't resist some aggressive politically driven tunes. Nothing direct, but still to the point.
How did the night go? Well there were plenty of punters who turned up to spin their records, about the same as last time. However overall numbers were down, a huge disappointment considering the extensive promotion that was utilised.
The guys will regroup in the New Year and look at how to build this event bigger and better. Vinylicious was still a great night though, some classic tunes were played. Till next time, vinyl lovers!

Bring Your Own Vinyl Night #9
Bring Your Own Vinyl Night
Queen's Head, Mold
It was great to be back in Mold for another Bring Your Own Vinyl Night. It's been a long time since the last evening in the Queen's Head, with summer holidays and whatnot getting in the way – so it was good to see the familiar faces and crank out some tunes.
The usual rules applied: each person got 15 minutes on the decks to play whatever they liked, genre free – vinyl only!
Adam went for it first, here's an over view of his varied and very enjoyable set:
Voice of the Beehive – I Think I Love You
Grandmaster Flash – Whitelines
Queen – One Vision
Willie Nelson – On the Road Again
I am so jealous of that Willie Nelson single!
Halloween had just been and gone a few days earlier, so I was still in a spooky mood. This time, my set went like this:
Monster Magnet – See You in Hell
One of the many stand out tracks from Monster Magnet's classic "Powertrip" album, this is acid drenched stoner rock at its finest. The retro sound is augmented by a churning organ that whirls around as the bass chugs. Psychedelic wonderment from Monster Magnet that sounds like a forgotten late 60's gem. I've owned the "Powertrip" album for many years on CD, but recently acquired the new vinyl re-issue. Money well spent. A truly great, under appreciated band.
This fantastic song was featured in the Tim Burton movie Dark Shadows, a film I'm a huge fan of (though it appears not many other people are). Whilst the previous song sounds like something from the sixties, this one is. It's a mellow groover that manages to wander out of hippy territory and sound somewhat sinister… Love this track, I felt it was a suitable jam for a Halloween inspired set.
The Damned – Plan 9 Channel 7
Ah, the Damned! Where would a Halloween themed set be, without a tune from these punk rock proto-Goths? One of my favourite bands, one of my favourite songs – from the indispensable "Machine Gun Etiquette" album. Every home should own this! The song is, of course, written about a viewing of Ed Wood's infamous "worst film ever made" – Plan 9 From Outer Space – on American horror channel 9. Vampira, James Dean, Hollywood after dark – it's all here in a perfect slice of rampaging pop punk.
The Misfits – American Nightmare
Finally, more horror punk from the masters themselves – the one and only Misfits. On this track, Danzig and pals abandon the usual Ramones inspired turbo punk and offer up a ridiculously catchy rockabilly number. Complete with handclaps and Danzig crooning more like Elvis than ever, this track sounds like a lost piece of 50's nostalgia. Classic stuff.
There we have it ladies and gentlemen – another great night in Mold! Thanks to the guys from Halcyon Dreams and VOD music – and Dylan who helped out with an extra turntable! More soon…

Scorpion Child – Gig Review
Scorpion Child + Jared James Nichols + The Bad Flowers
Tuesday 1st November 2016
Almost a year to the day since I last saw the mighty Scorpion Child rocking out, and in the same venue too. This time the crowd numbers are down, but hell – it was a bleak Tuesday evening. No excuse though – people should have been at the Live Rooms for this gig.
I just managed to catch the end of the first set, by UK band The Bad Flowers. This three piece were all power and chunky riffs – think Motorhead menace with some ZZ Top rock in there. Very appetising and well worth keeping an eye on.
Next up was Jared James Nichols, with his two bandmates, bringing us our second three piece of the night. This American band play a fine blend of bluesy hard rock, delivered with a confident, killer attack. Mountain were a fair comparison – they rocked out a crunching "Mississippi Queen" just to prove it. Quality entertainment with a boogie groove!
The last time I saw Scorpion Child, they were here on tour with Crobot (another superb band). Now with their second album – the extremely brilliant Acid Roulette – firmly under their belt, I was keen to witness these new rock'n'roll superstars-to-be again.
Scorpion Child deliver music that is well schooled in the classics of the past – Zeppelin, Sabbath, Purple. And like those bands they're able to deliver monster rockers like "Liqour" and "She Sings, I Kill" along with some superbly epic moments that build beautifully ("Survives" and "Acid Roulette").
There's also a thinly disguised darkness about the bands sound, not exactly doomy but much more in the vein of 80's bands like the Mission and the Sisters of Mercy. At their most bombastic, Scorpion Child are reminiscent of The Cult (from whence they claimed their name). Apologies for endless musical comparisons – but this band really have some classic style that merits a bigger fan base. Throw in some Danzig and Soundgarden and you've got a list of some of my favourite bands.
A great deal of the set is from the new album, showing justified confidence on the bands part. Songs like "My Woman in Black" and "I Might Be Your Man" are thundering hard rock compositions that are classics in the making.
A great gig, shame about the low attendance (and the lack of merch!) – but brilliantly infectious modern hard rock. I'm off for fish'n'chips.

Pride and Prejudice and Halloween Horror Fest
We decided to watch a spooky movie as a family, and The Addams Family was a perfect choice. In this movie version of the famous cartoon/television show, Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) has been missing for many years, but returns from the unknown to a warm welcome from his family. But is Fester all he seems?
This is another film that I wasn't too fussed on when I saw it originally, way back in 1991. Oh, that makes me feel old…
But returning to the movie all these years later I found I enjoyed it much more. The look and feel of the family and their house is, for the most part, spot on. Their peculiar interests and characters are suitably amusing, particularly in the case of Fester and Gomez (Raul Julia). The only weak link is Anjelica Huston, who never cut it for me as Morticia – she has none of the allure of Carolyn Jones in the old TV show.
Stealing every scene however is Wednesday Addams, played by a very young Christina Ricci. She gets her fair share of memorable lines and carries each of them off well.
The Addams Family is full of ghoulish laughs and was a big hit in our household. Ideal for Halloween family fun.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)
Yes, that is indeed the title of this film. And yes, it is indeed loosely based on the Jane Austen novel. Unlike many purists, the idea of these type of mash up movies (see also Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer – and others) appeals to me greatly. I'm more than happy to mercilessly disregard any sense of genre loyalty for the sake of entertainment.
I should be honest and admit that I have never read Pride and Prejudice. Nor have I seen any of the numerous film and television adaptations. I did study Austen's Emma for English A Level – I found it incredibly dull.
In my defence though I'll say that I also read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte – which I loved and still rate as one of my favourite books. So I can't be a complete philistine, surely?
Anyway, back to the film. England has fallen amidst a zombie apocalypse. The ladies and gentlemen go about their business in their big stately homes much as one would expect, though in this version they're now trained in deadly martial arts for self defence.
The plot follows the heroine, a tough Elizabeth Bennet (Lily James) and her sisters as they navigate not only the romance of the era, but a plague of zombies too. Mr Darcy (Sam Riley) is played as a battle hardened zombie slayer, with some brilliant innovative devices for detecting the undead.
Although I'm not familiar with the source material, the dialogue and narrative seems authentic enough. Plus the zombie element is woven in very nicely, providing a quirky additional element to the proceedings.
The second half of the film lagged a little as the characters seem to spend too much time untangling their romantic affairs and misunderstandings (just like in the unbearable Emma). But there were a few laughs (great performance from Matt Smith as Parson Collins) and some tension in the finale to make it all worthwhile.
Put aside any prejudice you may hold yourself and give Pride and Prejudice and Zombies a chance. Keep an open mind and it's great fun.
So there we go – another year of Halloween Horror Fest is over. Do not fear – there are many more horror DVDs in my collection for next year.
Fang you for joining me for Halloween Horror Fest 2016!

Q: How to disable Spotlight content indexing in Mac OS From Windows experience, I could always elect Live search to only index file names not their content. Is this something that can be done with Spotlight on a Mac?
It used to index absolutely everything, for instance it would return a bunch of video files for any obscure character combination typed into the search field.
Right now I've disabled Spotlight entirely as per this answer, but it seems to have disabled searching altogether. For instance, Finder is yet to locate any .pdf files in a small directory as I'm typing this question (unlike windows search which would still be able to work even with indexing disabled)
Alternatively, if there is any way (including a trusted third-party app) that will index file names and metadata e.g. ID3 tags that would likely be the preferred option.

A: You probably need to use a third party search engine. The few parameters of spotlight are in the system preferences.
My company publishes OpenSearchServer which is an open source search engine software able to handle complex indexation strategies, including mp3 tag indexation. May be you can have a look.

Jared Kushner is 'frustrated' that Trump's vindictiveness is causing him to ignore basic advice: report
Jared Kushner (Time)
Bob Brigham
White House senior advisor Jared Kushner has grown "frustrated" with his father-in-law, President Donald Trump, Vanity Fair special correspondent Gabriel Sherman explained to MSNBC's Ali Velshi on Tuesday.
"The people closest to him, the ones I talk to, say they do not feel the president is taking the seriousness of his legal situation appropriately," Sherman reported. "That he doesn't understand the gravity of the situation he now finds himself in as effectively an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Cohen case."
"There was some sense in the beginning that there were adults in the room, the president has systematically gotten rid of the adults in the room," Velshi noted. "Is there somebody governing strategy around the White House or is Donald Trump trying to protect himself from the whatever onslaught he happens to be facing?"
"Well Ali, you nailed it," Sherman replied.
"Jared Kushner went to the president and said, 'do not revoke John Brennan's security clearance, this is going to backfire,'" he recounted.
"And, according to my reporting, the president got, quote, 'joy' out of that decision," Sherman explained.
"Jared Kushner came away from that exchange frustrated that not even basic advice is getting through to him because the president is pursuing his personal vendettas, as we saw with the McCain episode of not lowering the flags -- that was grotesque -- it was indicative that everyone around the president thinks he's making bad decisions," he reported.

Q: How can I count the number of variables in an R quosure? Let's say I have a function that takes in a data frame and a varying number of variables from that data frame using non-standard evaluation (NSE). Is there a faster/more straightforward way to count the number of provided variables than select()ing these variables and counting the columns?
# Works but seems non-ideal
nvar <- function(df, vars) {
  vars_en <- rlang::enquo(vars)
  df_sub <- dplyr::select(df, !!vars_en)
  ncol(df_sub)
}
nvar(mtcars, mpg:hp)
#> 4

A: Highly doubtful (I realize this may receive downvotes) - I think the most sensible alternative is to simply select from the colnames of the data.frame like so - uses tidyselect::vars_select
nvar1 <- function(df, vars) {
  vars_en <- rlang::enquo(vars)
  ans <- vars_select(names(df), !! vars_en)
  length(ans)
}

But even this is slower than select(df) %>% ncol
library(microbenchmark)
library(nycflights13)
library(tidyselect)

nvar <- function(df, vars) {
  vars_en <- rlang::enquo(vars)
  df_sub <- dplyr::select(df, !!vars_en)
  ncol(df_sub)
}

identical(nvar(nycflights13::flights, day:sched_arr_time), nvar1(nycflights13::flights, day:sched_arr_time))
# TRUE

microbenchmark(nvar(nycflights13::flights, day:sched_arr_time), nvar1(nycflights13::flights, day:sched_arr_time), unit='relative', times=100L)

# Unit: relative
                                             # expr      min       lq    mean   median       uq       max neval

The Audi Q3 has served as the brand's entry level SUV offering since 2011, and now, seven years after the first generation model went on sale, Audi's new Q3 enters its second generation, sporting a bold, aggressive design neatly detailed in a slightly bigger package.
As the all-new Q8 is considered to be the new face of the brand's SUV line-up, it is inevitable that the Q3's sheetmetal is inspired from the flagship SUV. As such, it gets a bold and sharp front end, featuring vertical grille bars wrapped in an octagonal Singleframe grille. Optional Matrix LED headlights flank the car's bold front grille. A satin chrome finish surrounds the grille, while a character line likewise finished in satin chrome trim runs along the width of the front end. It is a design trait that eschews its predecessor's conservative shape. The rear, meanwhile, is more conventional Audi, with LED tail lights and a more aggressive rear bumper finishing off the Q3's new, sharper looks. The Q3 slightly grows in size, too, being 96.5 mm longer and having a 76 mm longer wheelbase compared to its predecessor.
Like the exterior, the Q3's interior has also been completely redesigned, with better materials and finishes. All variants are equipped as standard with Audi's Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster, which in the Q3's case is a 12.3-inch screen that replaces the analog gauges. Working together with the Virtual Cockpit is Audi's MMI infotainment system, which is the same touch-screen based version from the Audi A8 and Q8 flagships. As standard, the MMI radio features an 8.8-inch touch screen display, while the MMI navigation plus features a larger 10.1-inch touch screen display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard, as well as two USB ports. Additionally, the Q3 can be fitted with a Bang & Olufsen sound system.
At launch, the Audi Q3 will be available with an initial line-up of three engines, one of them being the 2.0 TFSI petrol engine produces 190 hp, mated to a 7-speed DSG dual clutch transmission. Power is sent through all four wheels via Audi's quattro all wheel drive system.
As always, these new vehicles comes standard with a slew of active safety and convenience features that range from adaptive cruise control, park assist, and speed limit warning.
The Audi Q3 will go on sale this November in Europe, while a Philippine launch will commence on a later date.

Goodbye Dad
I sit here today sad but definitely warm inside. The Love & sentiments that I've seen & absorbed about my Father were really uplifting.
I spoke to Dad just before lockdown began. It was one of my random calls to him. And luckily for some reason on that day he picked up. My wife & I were in the same room as he picked up, my kids also ran into the room. I told them I was speaking to Mkhulu, they must say HELLO, and my eldest said, "HELLO MKHULU" , and I said to him say, "I love you Mkhulu and he says it and runs off.
His baby brother being a follower of whatever Big brother does, says the exact same thing in that order and runs off. My Dad then said HELLO BOYS.
My wife then continues to engage him and asks him how he is feeling and he says he's not well. It's up and down. And as I was trying to join in on the conversation he then surprisingly said , "eish Retla boa. I have to go I'm not feeling well."
It's from this day that my concern for his health took a whole new angle. I've always made it my thing to know his regular health patterns. I would research different medical institutions to try and proactively assist in his health. The few JHB specialists we saw really assisted and brought a smile to his face for a few days in the past 5 years. But knowing my Father, I could see it wasn't easy for him to display weakness at pharmacie en ligne sans ordonnance. Even with us his children.
Bra MIKE, as he is affectionately known by his colleagues & Industry was a RESILIENT Man. He would against all odds always push to find a way out of any situation. And believe me he did find a way. A passionate businessman who had the ability to provide for more than just himself & his family, but the community at large.
If there's anything I'll always take with from him, especially into the boardroom, it is the ability to know when to continue the pursuit of something or to let it go. This is exemplary in his journey with the love of his life FREE STARE STARS.
To my Aunts, Uncles, Gogos, Mkhulus in the Mokoena Family, thank you for the role you've played on our Lives as the children of our Legendary Father. A Giant of a Man. I appreciate the positive role you've have played.
To my siblings, my Fasther's biological children: My Sisters, the Mokoena Daughters Thato & Penny, & my Brothers Thabo, Tebogo, Thlono & Toko. We've shared an interesting man with so many layers. There is truly only One Mike Mokoena, & I hope we take from all his strengths and build in us stronger MEN & WOMEN as we navigate our own Lives as Parents. Remember, being in the shadows does not mean you are a Shadow
To my Mother, Nonhlanhla Mokoena who was only 18 when she met him & who dedicated over 40 years of her life to him. You have taught US as your children how to Love & Pray. Through you we know without a shadow of a doubt, & understand what the term SUPER WOMAN means. You have been an example to so many including US, and you continue to be. Thank you for introducing us to our Father & choosing him. Thank you for teaching us that we were enough to carve our own paths, just like our Father did.
Thank you for the many moments you've prepared meals in front of us taking care of the many who have publicly & privately shared fond memories of him.
I always joke and say, My Dad loved football and 619 roofing so much he gave birth to his own Football team. It's okay to have a laugh about it. He would've probably laughed it off himself, & later said , "UYADELELA WENA"
So Ma, Thank you for your strength as a Woman & a Mother. Thank you for protecting your cubs. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Just know that you have soldiers on your side & that your strength has transferred to us in potent doses, & for that we thank the Almighty. Love you MaMsimango
In closing, we are only given one Father in our lives. And ours has left his big mark on this earth, let's continue in the spirit of BRA MIKE, let's unleash our inner successes & continue building our own Legacies.
Thank you all for the support, thank you to the media for respecting our privacy during this time.
Keep your heads up everyone, my Dad would be happy to see the support & love he has received up until now.
Thank You

A: The issue is with your students.remove(i); statements.
You are trying to remove an element from the list that no longer exists once the loop gets to the end. You essentially are trying to remove the last Student from the list twice...
There are, however, several other problems with your code. For one, you are creating a new TextField in all of your button's onAction() properties. This will not update the text on the screen. You already have a TextField, so to change it's contents, just use the setText() method:
TF1.setText("ID \t\t GPA\n");

You will also not get a valid String representation of your student lists by simply calling toString().
You need to rethink your design entirely.

A: It seems your error was with sorting by GPA rather than with JavaFX itself. I rewrote the class as seen below which will result in the list being returned in order of ascending GPA. If you wish it to be descending you can use the method .reverse() on students2. The specific error text you received noted an OutofBounds error which was caused by the way you compared both students at a time without checking for the bounds of the list. Fixing this results in your error clearing and the code working, though there are other issues to be resolved with the implementation of the rest of your code as noted by Zephyr.
public static ArrayList<Student> SortByGPA(ArrayList<Student> students)
{
    students.sort(compareGPA());
    return students;
}

private static Comparator<Student> compareGPA()
{
    return new Comparator<Student>()
    {
        @Override
        public int compare(Student s1, Student s2)
        {
            double gpa1 = s1.getGPA();
            double gpa2 = s2.getGPA();
            return Double.compare(gpa1, gpa2);
        }

UBER Stock Price Increased 7.22%: Why It Happened
The stock price of Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE: UBER) increased by 7.22%. This is why it happened.
The stock price of Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE: UBER) increased by 7.22% as it went from a previous close of $54.60 to $58.54. One of the biggest reasons why it happened is due to an announcement about a partnership with Moderna for coronavirus vaccine awareness.
Uber and Moderna are going to work together initially to provide accessible, credible information on vaccine safety through Uber's in-app messaging. And the two companies will also work with public health and other organizations to identify additional opportunities to support ongoing efforts to broaden access to COVID-19 vaccines. The additional options being evaluated include incorporating ride scheduling directly into the immunization appointment process and possibly integrating with vaccine providers' systems to text reminders and enable patients to book rides in advance of their first or second immunization appointments.
Last month, Uber committed 10 million free or discounted rides to help ensure transportation is not a barrier to getting a vaccine. And targeting communities hardest hit by the pandemic, Uber partnered with the National Urban League, National Action Network and the Morehouse School of Medicine. Uber is going to continue to build a broad coalition of organizations committed to breaking down transportation barriers in these communities.
Moderna's COVID-19 Vaccine was authorized for emergency use in the U.S. by the FDA for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 18 years of age and older and has been authorized by Health Canada for the immunization of Canadians 18 years of age and older under an Interim Order. Plus the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine has also been granted a Conditional Marketing Authorization by the European Commission, based upon the recommendation of the European Medicines Agency, which authorizes the COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus in individuals 18 years of age and older. While initially targeting Uber users in the US, the companies anticipate expanding this partnership globally in the coming months alongside ongoing immunization efforts.
"Used by millions of people every day, the Uber platform can both help educate the public about vaccine safety and help eliminate transportation barriers to vaccination. Together with Moderna, we hope to do our part to help increase vaccination awareness and adoption, and we look forward to exploring ways we can help ensure everyone, especially in the hardest-hit communities of color, has access to a vaccine."
— Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.
"As part of our commitment to help address COVID-19, Moderna will be working with a coalition of partners to educate, build trust around and increase awareness of the importance of vaccination in those communities significantly impacted by the pandemic. We look forward to combining our expertise with Uber's capabilities and platform to support this important effort."
— Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel.
BNGO Stock Price Increased 50.42%: Why It Happened


With $12 million raised from corporate partners, many Bay Area nonprofits are getting a big cash infusion.
If you live in San Francisco and you're not a sports fan, you may not be thrilled about the horde of Super Bowl fans who have descended on the city, or the closed streets, or the extra gridlock on Highway 101. But when the game's over, what will the impact be on the city?
For local nonprofits, there's good news. Every Super Bowl, the host committee–a group of well-known corporate figures charged with drumming up support for the big game and coordinates activities around it–raises money for local nonprofits, which the NFL matches. The rule is that the host committee must raise at least $1 million dollars. San Francisco's–which includes Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, and chef Thomas Keller–managed to raise over $12 million, far more than any Super Bowl host has ever done in the past. A quarter of every dollar raised from corporate sponsors went into a philanthropic fund.
Each week, for the 50 weeks leading up to the game, the fund gave $10,000 grants to local leaders, like Kelly Carlisle, who runs an urban farm in East Oakland where children grow and sell vegetables and get to keep the proceeds in their own savings accounts.
Larger nonprofits got as much as $500,000 each to expand their programs, like First Place for Youth, a program that helps young adults coming out of foster homes find permanent homes and jobs, and stay off the streets. "They were able to house 10 kids last week in the pouring rain, in permanent, sustainable housing, because of our grant," says Lurie.
So far, the fund has given out grants of over $7 million to 140 organizations throughout the Bay Area, with the most beneficiaries in Santa Clara County, where the actual game will take place.
In San Francisco–which is hosting a nine-day "Super Bowl City" event that's taking over part of downtown–critics have noted that the city government will likely end up footing a $4 million-plus bill for the extra public transit and police needed to keep things running smoothly. It's money that might have gone to citizens for other needed services.
But Lurie argues the city will make millions more in hotels and sales taxes, and the overall economic impact of the Super Bowl in the area may be in the hundreds of millions (unlike past sporting events, perhaps, where other cities haven't fared so well).

Q: iOS IAP Restore needs few tries I encounter a really awkward behavior of in app purchases in my app.
The app is a webview, so I created a webview and load my local HTML files.
Since my last update, the IAP Restore now needs several tries until it finally restores the specific product. I have 3 products and I noticed that my first IAP needs 1-2 tries until it restores, but the other 2 restore only after I try restore 3-4-5-6-7 times.
Nothing changed in restore code in the last update, and I did not find any clue anywhere in other found questions.
And a second question:
If I purchased all 3 products, should restoring one product restore all of them?
UPDATE:
Here is my code
func restorePurchases() {
    NetworkActivityIndicatorManager.networkOperationStarted()
    SwiftyStoreKit.restorePurchases(atomically: true) { results in
        NetworkActivityIndicatorManager.networkOperationFinished()

        for purchase in results.restoredPurchases {
            let downloads = purchase.transaction.downloads
            if !downloads.isEmpty {
                SwiftyStoreKit.start(downloads)
            } else if purchase.needsFinishTransaction {
                // Deliver content from server, then:

Academy Snapshot: After tough matches against LA Galaxy and FC Golden State, young Sounders prepare for Crossfire
Joseph MondelloSoundersFC.com
All three Seattle Sounders Academy squads were at home last weekend, hosting FC Golden State and fellow MLS side LA Galaxy in a series of USSDA league matches. Although the results didn't match the performances, the young Sounders still managed a 2-2-2 record. The U-17s had already locked up first place in the USSDA Western Conference, while the U-19s' massive 3-1 win over FC Golden State saw them remain firmly in the playoff places.
Sounders FC 0 vs. LA Galaxy 1 | May 19
Sounders FC 3 vs. FC Golden State 1 | May 20
The U-15s kicked off the weekend with an impressive 1-1 draw against the Galaxy, who are the top academy side in the country. Up against a forward line that has scored more goals than any team in the USSDA, the Seattle back line held together and severely restricted chances for the visitors. Right back Angel Martinez, 13, was imperious on the day despite playing two years up. Captain Edgar Serrano, who joined this season from Club Partner Northwest United, bossed the midfield all afternoon, setting the tempo of the match with his elite vision and excellent passing range. A rising star for both Seattle and U.S. youth national teams, Danny Leyva rounded out a complete, two-way performance with fantastic goal.
After a disappointing loss to the Galaxy, the U-17s rebounded by beating FC Golden State 1-0 on Sunday. S2 attacker Ray Serrano scored the lone goal for the Sounders, which was his 17th from just 17 starts in the league. Goalkeeper Bobby Harraka, who has developed into well-rounded 'keeper throughout the season, secured the three points with a shutout.
Entering halftime down 1-0 on Sunday, the U-19s roared back after the break and went on to win 3-1 behind a hat trick from U-17 striker Alec Diaz. Center back Elias Katsaros, who turned 16 two months ago, made his 13th start of the campaign for the U-19s.

Sounders FC U-17 vs. Crossfire Premier U-17 | 11:30 a.m. PT, Starfire Sports Field 11
Sounders FC U-19 vs. Crossfire Premier U-19 | 2:00 p.m. PT, Starfire Sports Field 11
Hat-trick Hero
In just his third appearance for the U-19s, striker Alec Diaz, 16, fired the Rave Green to a win with a second-half hat trick against FC Golden State. Across all competitions in the 2017-18 season, the Pac NW alum, who has spent three years in the Sounders youth system, has tallied 25 goals from just 1,638 minutes of action.
Pro Debut for Saku
With the absence of starting center backs Sam Rogers, who was with the U.S. U-20s, and Rodrigue Ele, Sounders U-19 standout Sakari Carter was drafted into S2's Starting XI for a road match against Reno 1868 FC. Tasked with marking a pair of professional strikers, Saku kept the Reno forwards in his back pocket all afternoon, winning numerous aerial duels and producing several crunching tackles.
Manchester City Cup
The 2004 Sounders Discovery Program team is in San Diego, Calif., this weekend for the Manchester City Cup. Back in 2017, the Sounders U-15s, led by Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez, Josh Atencio and Serrano, finished in third place, beating the likes of Man City and Tottenham Hotspur.

"I've lived in Gatehouse Close with my family for the past 7 years. When we moved in it was a very old-fashioned house and we wanted something contemporary to match our modern lifestyles. My children were small at the time and I do a lot of cooking, so I needed an open plan space where I could see my children whilst I cook.

Macher, J.-N., Rozenberg, A., Pauls, S. U., Tollrian, R., Wagner, R., & Leese, F. (2015). Assessing the phylogeographic history of the montane caddisfly Thremma gallicum using mitochondrial and restriction-site-associated DNA (RAD) mar. Ecology and Evolution, 5(3), 648-662. doi:10.1002/ece3.1366.

Repeated Quaternary glaciations have significantly shaped the present distribution and diversity of several European species in aquatic and terrestrial habitats. To study the phylogeography of freshwater invertebrates, patterns of intraspecific variation have been examined primarily using mitochondrial DNA markers that may yield results unrepresentative of the true species history. Here, population genetic parameters were inferred for a montane aquatic caddisfly, Thremma gallicum, by sequencing a 658-bp fragment of the mitochondrial CO1 gene, and 12,514 nuclear RAD loci. T. gallicum has a highly disjunct distribution in southern and central Europe, with known populations in the Cantabrian Mountains, Pyrenees, Massif Central, and Black Forest. Both datasets represented rangewide sampling of T. gallicum. For the CO1 dataset, this included 352 specimens from 26 populations, and for the RAD dataset, 17 specimens from eight populations. We tested 20 competing phylogeographic scenarios using approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) and estimated genetic diversity patterns. Support for phylogeographic scenarios and diversity estimates differed between datasets with the RAD data favouring a southern origin of extant populations and indicating the Cantabrian Mountains and Massif Central populations to represent highly diverse populations as compared with the Pyrenees and Black Forest populations. The CO1 data supported a vicariance scenario (north–south) and yielded inconsistent diversity estimates. Permutation tests suggest that a few hundred polymorphic RAD SNPs are necessary for reliable parameter estimates. Our results highlight the potential of RAD and ABC-based hypothesis testing to complement phylogeographic studies on non-model species.

Beggarstaffs: William Nicholson & James Pryde
***** The Observer
'Beggarstaffs' was the pseudonym used by the British artists William Nicholson and James Pryde for their collaborative partnership in the design of posters and other graphic work in the 1890s. This groundbreaking exhibition of collaborative graphics and their later individual works as painters have never before been shown together.
Palaces in the Night: The urban landscape in Whistler's prints
This second exhibition of the Fitzwilliam's collection of etchings, drypoints and lithographs, by the American artist James McNeill Whistler, is devoted to the cityscapes for which he is most celebrated as a printmaker.
Enriching Collections: Recent acquisitions of prints and drawings 2009 – 2019
This exhibition is the second of two successive selections of works on paper which celebrate the outstanding generosity of benefactors and donors who have helped to enrich the collections.
Henry Moore's Hill Arches (1973)
See a monumental bronze sculpture by Henry Moore, titled Hill Arches, on loan to the Fitzwilliam Museum from the Henry Moore Foundation in Hertfordshire.
The Frua-Valsecchi collection
Over the past fifty years, Francesca and Massimo Valsecchi have built up a remarkable collection of paintings, furniture, sculpture, glass and ceramics. This includes the renowned nude portrait of Patricia Preece by Stanley Spencer (Gallery 1), a Spanish 17th century polychrome wood sculpture of the Christ Child (Gallery 6), Art Nouveau Tiffany glass (Gallery 22) and an extremely rare Meissen porcelain vulture (Gallery 27)...
The 1920s: Crisis and innovation
The 1920s was a time of unprecedented change, after the trauma of the First World War. In America and Western Europe there was great prosperity and artistic innovation, with the new Art Deco style. At the same time there was economic and political crisis in Germany and Central Europe. In Russia the new dawn of Revolution led to Stalin's terror. All of this can be seen in coins, medals and banknotes of the 1920s.
Salisbury Family Collection of Studio Ceramics
The Salisbury family, based locally in Cambridge, have kindly lent part of their studio ceramics collection to the Museum. This collection, formed over many years, includes pieces by some of the finest artists to work in clay from the mid-20th century onwards. These include Austrian and German emigrés Lucie Rie, Hans Coper and Ruth Duckworth, and contemporary artist Jennifer Lee, winner of the Loewe Craft Prize 2018.
Design Evolution: Highlights from the Keatley Trust collection
This display highlights some of the outstanding pieces of decorative art on loan to the Museum from the Keatley Trust.
Eddington's prehistoric and Roman past
A single display case containing a small selection of items found by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) at the North West Cambridge site, now renamed Eddington. The display includes the single most important find to date, a tightly rolled 12-13th century pewter or lead seal, which when unravelled revealed a king with a fleur de lis-topped sceptre.
Secrets of a Silent Miniaturist
A selection of the Museum's Isaac Oliver miniatures (c.1565-1617) have been chosen to showcase some of the recent discoveries made about his work. The miniatures can be seen in a special display in the Rothschild Gallery of Medieval & Renaissance Art (Gallery 32), where they are shown alongside other 16th- and 17th-century miniatures, including examples by Nicholas Hilliard.
Jennifer Lee: A personal selection
This small display brings together objects from the Fitzwilliam's collection that particularly resonate with the award-winning artist and potter, Jennifer Lee. Her choice includes modern studio ceramics, ancient Chinese bronzes and antiquities from Greece and Rome, with each object accompanied by an explanation of the affinity she feels with it. This display accompanies the larger exhibition of Jennifer's own work, Jennifer Lee: the potter's space on display at Kettle's Yard (9 July-22 September).

"Anyone that people would rally around and follow, they were killed -- day one"
Glenn Beck took ten minutes at the conclusion of his radio show yesterday to present an interesting theory about the recent civil unrest in Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland -- it's a "set up" that, in the end, will silence voices like his, or simply disappear them.
Beck said this is "the beginning," and that the people "marching down the street are connected. They're connected to the Nation of Islam. They're connected to Open Society. George Soros. They're connected to the Tides Foundation." The only thing standing between these conspirators and the end of America is "Bubba," Beck's stand-in for "simple citizens with long arms."
"Let me ask you now," Beck said, "if Bubba, who is carrying a long arm, they see somebody throwing mazel tov cocktails [sic] and they stop it, how many people in our community will say, no, wait a minute -- you were told to stand down."
Beck played the part of Cassandra, the prophet cursed by the gods to never be believed, saying that "we're being set up, guys. We are absolutely being set up. And I don't know -- this is what I pray every night -- I don't know how to do this, Lord...I can't wake anybody else up. They've smeared me. I've helped them smear me. I don't have any credibility. Nobody is listening. I can tell you what's coming. I've told you every step of the way. I know what's coming next."
And what's coming next, according to Beck, are members of the aforementioned conspiracy who will, in open defiance or with the aid of the Department of Justice, silence voices like Beck's forever.
"If you go back to what happened with the Armenian genocide, what is the first thing the Turks did?" he asked rhetorically. "What is the first thing the Nazis do? You have a night of long knives. The Armenian genocide. Any of the Armenians that could lead, any mayor, any writer, any person that was a hero in war, in one day, in each city, they would kill about 1,000 people. They would just slaughter them. And they were all the leaders of the community. Anyone that people would rally around and follow, they were killed -- day one."
"They just disappear, or they're killed," he said, before warning his audience to "prepare for a time when voices like mine or others are no longer heard."

Boy, mention Big Sur around these parts of LA and people's eyes light up. They also say "ohhhh Big Sur, HAVE to go there!". My buddies are planning a possible get together to do a race there next year and while I have no interest in running (unless its to an In-n-Out ba dum dum!), I am interested in exploring up there, especially given everyone's natural reactions to the area.
Well, I have to admit, the images that are coming up on Google Image Search and pretty damn amazing. Huge cliffs, huge swells and very rugged scenery. However, readers of this blog know aside from the scenery (especially given how I trashed my camera recently and now avert my eyes from beautiful scenery), what about the hiking and camping options around there?
Well there seems to be plenty of options from tenting to cabins. There are even celebrities that wax poetic about the campgrounds at Big Sur. Oh Christine, why did you have to break up with Billy?
It seems a lot of campsites in California have these tent cabins which like Britney, is not quite a girl, not quite a woman (is it a tent, a cabin?).
I am not sure what to think of these things. I mean you are off the ground, which is nice and you have walls and it is cheaper than a cabin but these things look pretty flimsy to me. Anyone ever actually use one? Is it worth even the small amount of money you pay for them? Small being relative of course. This one at the Fernwood campground at Big Sur goes for $60 a night and I have seen ones at Yosemite go for much, much more.
Still, there are camping/tenting options. How 'bout them hikes? According to Coastal California (the indispensable book my cousin has lent me and I am being VERY remiss about returning) she recommends trails like the Valley View Trail and Skinner Ridge Trail as well as the book Hiking The Big Sur Country, which I am definitely picking up if I go up there.
So, in conclusion, it looks like there are some really cool outdoor activities one can do in and around Big Sur. If anyone has any tips, let me know! We are thinking about a March jaunt and the planning starts now. It is no SoCal :P but it looks great!
Favorite Big Sur backcountry hike is to Ventana Double Cones.
Day hike - Garrapata Creek.
Close to Carmel is Point Lobos - phenomenal oceanside trails.

After Living in an Animal Shelter for Nearly a Year, Twice-Surrendered Dog Becomes Police K-9
Many people who are charmed by the features of a particular dog breed but don't do their research on its personality are in for a shock, and the dog is often the one that suffers.
Belgian malinois are one of those breeds. They're intelligent, streamlined, athletic and powerful, and many people are impressed with their prowess but are completely unprepared for the amount of drive they have and the work it takes to keep them fulfilled: These dogs need a job, and if you don't give them one, they'll make one up (at your expense).
One dog named "Arrow" likely fell prey to that mindset and ended up at the Burlington County Animal Shelter in New Jersey, where he stayed for around eight months.
He was adopted twice, but both times his new families found his behavior disconcerting and surrendered him. One family said he wasn't getting along with their other pet, and the other family said he became too protective of one of their family members.
Thankfully for the dog, one of the shelter attendants could see his potential and made sure to spend time with him.

"Their brains, especially in the Malinois, are continuous, and when they are locked in the kennel they go crazy," animal attendant Deb Bucci said, according to the Burlington County Times.
After failed attempts to find a home for Arrow, Bucci posted about Arrow on social media, where someone else recognized his potential. Angela Connor with Rescue 22 Foundation, a group that trains service dogs for disabled veterans, saw a law enforcement future for Arrow.
"I knew that was very unlikely that Arrow would be a fit for a service dog," Connor said. "I came in and evaluated Arrow and decided that a lot of the behavior that most people would find challenging was actually exactly the behavior we're looking for to develop into police work."
Arrow went into training with Rescue 22, and after a few months, he found a permanent place with Officer Kyle Heasley and the Lower Southampton Police Department in Pennsylvania, where he has trained as a patrol and drug detection dog.
Now, Arrow is the department's first K9 since the 1960s — and with real, challenging work during the day, he's settled into a family routine in the evenings.
"Everybody in the community is very supportive and very happy that we now have a police dog," Heasley said. "The department's happy, so are all the fellow officers. He's been a great addition to the department."
"He is just like a family dog when we go home. He knows when to turn it off. He knows when we go to work."

It has turned into the perfect solution for everyone involved.
"We would like to thanks Angela Connor and the Rescue 22 Foundation for donating our K9 Arrow and paying for his training and just being very supportive," the Lower Southampton Police Department posted on April 30.
"We also would like to thank Tractor Supply in Jamison who are donating Arrow's food. It is very appreciated. Arrow has completed his basic training and is out on patrol with Officer Kyle Heasley."
Bucci is thrilled to see Arrow shining as the dog she knew he could be, and the happy ending has encouraged Ericka Haines, the director at the shelter Arrow was pulled from.
"One good story absolutely trumps the 10 bad ones that we have on a daily basis," Haines said to the Times. "This makes it such a good, good thing and hopefully we're finding the right direction and having more positive stories than the negatives."

We believe the development of a child's faith begins during infancy, and we are committed to nurturing future generations of strong Christians.
Our Sunday School program begins in the Nursery, where children are taught foundational truths about God, namely His love for us as shown in His plan of redemption, and begin their journey of learning the true stories of the Bible.
As children grow up and leave the nursery, they move through age-specific classes: Preschool (4–5 years old), Younger Elementary (6–7 years old), Middle Elementary (8–9 years old) and Older Elementary (10–11 years old).
We use the Show Me Jesus curriculum from Great Commision Publications. This curriculum is comprehensive, covering the entire Bible. Bible stories are presented as part of the whole story, the history of God's work of redemption through Jesus, as revealed from the beginning of the Old Testament to the end of the New Testatment. It is a God-centered curriculum, demonstrating God's sovereignty over all of history, as well as in our own lives. This builds kids' strong faith in God's work in and through His people.
Our Sunday School teachers are an important part of bringing the Bible to life for our children. They love God's Word and consider it a privilege to share this love with our children. We invite — and encourage — parents to visit their child's class at any time.
During the summer, our children have the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful church property and serve others in our community.
Tuesdays from 3–5 p.m. and Thursdays from 12–2 p.m. at the Church Office.
We are blessed to have a pool on our property! CPR-certified staff members supervise two swim times each week during the summer for children, youth, and parents. Children will receive a snack during each swim time during a short break from playing in the pool.
Certain Tuesdays at 5 p.m. at the Church Office.
We host several family picnics during the summer immediately following the Tuesday afternoon swim time. Hot dogs and burgers for the grill are provided and families bring side dishes to share. Come enjoy a great time of fun and fellowship!
Certain Sundays at 5 p.m. outside the Church Office.
During the summer, the whole church family gathers for evenings of worship, dinner and fun. Fishing Night, Water Fun Night and a Luau are among the themes of these relaxed Sunday Fellowships.
Day camps held during the summer in backyards around Cincinnati.
Our children participate in and help lead several Backyard Kids Clubs (BKCs) during the summer. These 4-day camps present the gospel in fun and engaging ways in peoples' backyards for children who live nearby. You can think of it as a mobile, youth-run VBS. We host one larger BKC on the church property for ECC children and others we will invite from the community.
