UN finds Brazil failed to prevent pregnant woman's death
Brazil must urgently improve the health services available to women during and after pregnancy, Amnesty International said today after a UN body determined the country failed to prevent the death of a pregnant Afro-Brazilian woman. Alyne da Silva Pimentel Teixera, a 28-year-old Brazilian woman of African descent, was six months pregnant with her second child in late 2002 when she died following inadequate treatment at a local health centre in one of Rio de Janeiro's poorest districts. Following a complaint filed by da Silva's mother, the UN Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women recently concluded that Brazil had failed to provide da Silva with appropriate maternal health care and had discriminated against her based on her sex, ethnicity and socio-economic background. It is the first time an international human rights body has intervened on an individual case and determined that governments have a duty to prevent maternal mortality and protect the rights of pregnant women and girls. "The government's failure to prevent death or injury during pregnancy is a form of discrimination against women and girls that affects their rights to life, health, and equality," said Widney Brown, Amnesty International's Senior Director of Law and Policy. "Not only was Alyne da Silva given inadequate care leading to her death, which was completely avoidable, but discrimination against poor Afro-Brazilian women played a role in the quality of treatment she received. It is positive that the Committee expressly recognized that women can suffer from multiple forms of discrimination – and in this case it was lethal." Da Silva, who was married and had a four-year-old daughter at the time, was near the end of her second trimester of pregnancy when she went to her local health centre on 11 November 2002, complaining of severe stomach pains and nausea. According to the UN decision, staff at the local health centre misdiagnosed her symptoms and delayed emergency medical care. Two days later, doctors induced delivery of her foetus after they could no longer detect its heartbeat. Da Silva became disoriented after the stillbirth and on 14 November 2002 she underwent surgery to remove portions of the placenta. Although her condition continued to worsen after the operation, staff at the health centre assured her family members she was well. On the night of 15 November 2002, Da Silva was transferred to a hospital after entering into a coma earlier in the day. Despite her critical condition, she had been forced to wait for hours at the health centre while requests for a hospital bed or an ambulance to transfer her were denied. Da Silva died in hospital the following evening of a haemorrhage, which doctors determined had resulted from the stillbirth of the foetus. Before her death, hospital staff and da Silva's family members were repeatedly denied access to her medical records at her local health clinic. "Alyne died as a result of negligence and discrimination. The Brazilian authorities must provide reparations to her family, who lost a mother, wife and daughter," said Widney Brown. "Brazil must ensure its public health system meets the needs of women and girls as part of their obligation to respect the right to health. Women must have access to adequate health care during and after pregnancy, regardless of their income or racial background. No more women should be made to suffer like this."Brazil has a high maternal mortality rate considering the economic strides the country has made in recent years. Indigenous, low-income, and Afro-descendant women in Brazil run a much greater risk of dying during pregnancy and childbirth.The case was brought by da Silva's mother who was represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights and the Brazilian NGO Advocacia Cidadã pelos Direitos Humanos. Amnesty International and others provided amicus curiae briefs to the UN Committee.

Naagin 3 to make its comeback with New Cast on Colors TV
One of the most popular Hindi Shows on Colors TV, Naagin had finished 2 seasons and is about to make a comeback with the third. The show which has topped all the charts in its previous seasons had Mouni Roy and Adaa Khan as the lead actresses. After the second season, the lead actresses of the show, Mouni Roy, and Adaa Khan left the show raising plenty of speculations over the launch of the third.
But soon after, Ekta Kapoor revealed that actresses Karishma Tanna and Anita Hassanandani will be taking the place of Mouni Roy and Adaa Khan. The announcement, of course, received mixed responses from the viewers and fans since the name Mouni Roy had been associated with the serial and every household got accustomed to watching her in the show. Despite these speculations, the promo for the third season of Naagin generated quite a stir among the fans and was received quite positively.
Naagin is the story of two ichandari Naagins, Shivanya and Shesha, trying to avenge one Shivanya's parent's death. In the first two seasons, Mouni Roy played two roles Shivanya and Shivangi both of whom are ichandari Naagins (Shape Shifting Snakes) and Adaa Khan played the role of Shesha, the sister of Shivanya. In the third season, Karishma Tanna and Anita Hassanandani will replace them along with the other cast Pearl V Puri, Amrapali Gupta, Rajat Tokas, Rakshanda Khan, etc.
The show was very much loved by the audience and earned the lead Actors Arjun Bijlani, Mouni Roy, Sudha Chandran, Karanvir Bohra, Adaa Khan etc, and the producer Ekta Kapoor, many awards like Boroplus Gold Awards, Golden Petal Awards, 16th Indian Television Academy Awards, Big Zee Entertainment Awards, etc. It is imperative that the season of Naagin will achieve a bigger success than its predecessors, but it is too early to say.
Naagin 3 will replace Colors TV's another popular show Chandrakanta, from 2nd of June 2018.

TRIPLEPOINTS OF INTEREST: JULY 8
In this week's gaming news, Nintendo announced the Switch Lite, the latest Lord of the Rings MMO is in production from Leyou Technologies and Amazon, and Cuphead is making the leap from video game to Netflix adaptation.
Nintendo announces new Switch Lite console
A new handheld console will be on the market this holiday season. The Switch Lite, announced by Nintendo this week, is a lighter version of the Nintendo Switch and boasts a 5.5-inch screen, built-in joycons, a directional pad, longer battery life, and more. While the Switch Lite maintains 720p resolution and support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth like the Nintendo Switch, the Switch Lite is built for gaming on-the-go and does not offer players the ability to connect the device to a television. Press were optimistic about the Lite's success without television compatibility, though, with CNET explaining, "I think about the Switch Lite as the game system my kid would want. And it could be the Switch for anyone who doesn't care about playing on a TV." The Switch Lite will be available on September 20 for $199. The news was reported on by The Verge, CNN, WIRED, and more.
China's Leyou Technologies teams up with Amazon to develop next Lord of the Rings MMO
This week, Leyou Technologies confirmed that Amazon Game Studios will be collaborating with the Hong Kong-based developer to create a free-to-play Lord of the Rings title for consoles and PC. The news comes after Amazon Game Studios laid off over a dozen employees and canceled multiple unannounced games. While details of the title are sparse, press speculates that the game will take place before the events of J.R.R. Tolkein's The Hobbit and will coincide with Amazon's upcoming Lord of the Rings television series. Gizmodo said, "We'll have to wait and see just how closely this game and Amazon's TV series become intertwined—nothing's for certain yet. But it would be about as surprising as a Took being a fool if there ended up being at least some level of tie-in." Outlets such as Variety, Entertainment Weekly, DEADLINE, and more weighed in on the news.
Popular indie game Cuphead green-lit for Netflix show
Fans can soon tag along with Cuphead and Mugman as they make the jump from video game to television series. Netflix Animation and developer Studio MDHR this week announced that they are collaborating to bring Cuphead, the winner of the 2017 Game Awards and BAFTA Awards, to Netflix. The Xbox-exclusive indie game became widely popular due to its 1930s-inspired art style, storyline, and level of difficulty. There is currently no definitive release date, but Engadget speculated that the show is a long way off due to the game's signature hand-drawn animation process. The Verge, The New York Post, The Hollywood Reporter, and more covered the news.

Q: Get value out of static rails select_tag I have just started out programming with ruby on rails. I really like it, but sometimes it's really complicated. What I am trying to do is to get the selected value out of the select_tag and pass it to the Model where I will multiply the value to another one (that comes from an from_for textfield).
The problem is I wasn't able to figure out how to get the value from the View to the Controller and then to the Model.
Here is my code:
View:
<%= label_tag 'Remind' %>
<%= f.number_field :remind %>
<%= select_tag :select_conv, options_for_select([['Day', 1], ['Week', 7], ['Month', 30]]) %>

Controller:
def create
  add = Item.new(item_params)

  if add.save
    flash[:notice] = ''
    redirect_to items_path
  else
    redirect_to new_item_path
    flash[:error] = ''
  end

private
def item_params
params.require(:item).permit(:itemname, :amount, :bbf, :remind)
end
end

Model:
def convert_to_d
  convert = self.remind * self.v_convertor
  self.assign_attributes(remind: convert)
end

Thank you in advance

A: You have to do some changes:
View:
<%= label_tag 'Remind' %>
<%= f.number_field :remind %>
<%= select_tag :select_conv, options_for_select([['Day', 1], ['Week', 7], ['Month', 30]]) %>

From the View, it will return a hash with the values of each user's input. So, for this example, it will return:
params = { remind: user_input, select_conv: user_input }

You can catch that in your controller with the method item_params, but
you have to specify the parameters that you want in your method, so your item_params should be:
Controller:
def create
  add = Item.new(item_params)

  if add.save
    flash[:notice] = ''
    redirect_to items_path
  else
    redirect_to new_item_path
    flash[:error] = ''
  end
end

private
def item_params
  params.require(:item).permit(:itemname, :amount, :bbf, :remind, :select_conv) # << update here
end

In your model, you can access the values saved in item_params with their names, as you did with self.remind, you can call it with self.select_conv.
Model:
# self.select_conv can be used now.

def convert_to_d
  convert = self.remind * self.v_convertor
  self.assign_attributes(remind: convert)
end

You can also use some validations in your model to guarantee integrity from the user's data. For more information about validations.

Apple has made available for download macOS Sierra 10.12.4 beta 1 and tvOS 10.2 beta 1 only one day after the company dropped final version of macOS 10.12.3 and tvOS 10.1.1.
The release of macOS 10.12.4 beta 1 and tvOS 10.2 beta 1 follows hot on the heels of iOS 10.3 beta 1 release for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. All new beta releases today not only signifies the continuation of all these platforms, but also allows those with developer credentials to get instant access to the latest pre-release seeds of said platforms for testing and development purposes.
As is generally the Apple way with pre-release seeds, there's no real accompanying information with the release, or significant release notes that give us clarity on what is included. In addition to the usual, and expected, bug fixes, performance improvements, and general platform enhancements, beta 1 of macOS 10.12.4 includes a new Night Shift mode, similar to what has already been introduced into iOS. That feature has been integrated to allow Mac owners to automatically have their display shifted to the warmer end of the spectrum when night time approaches in order to make it more comfortable viewing for their eyes.
The release also sits alongside iOS 10.3, which means that there's actually likely to be a number of additional improvements that have been brought into play to work on conjunction with an enhancements in Apple's mobile firmware. As always, when more becomes apparent, we will bring it straight to you. For now, anyone with a previous pre-release seed installed on the Mac is able to grab the latest beta now from the Mac App Store as an over-the-air update.
Apple's tvOS platform, and the hardware that sits with it for that matter, is one of the most exciting and fastest developing of Apple's propositions in the consumer market. The fourth-generation Apple TV is likely due for a refresh soon, but it's amazing to see just how much tvOS has developed since it was announced. This latest release, beta 1 of tvOS 10.2, continues that development, but at this early stage it's very difficult to know exactly how or what it brings to the table. Those with an Apple TV can expect the usual bug fixes and performance enhancements, but when we find out exactly what new features or functionality are on offer we all let you know.
Those with an Apple TV 4 can connect it to their computer with a USB-C to USB-A cable, download the installation file from developer.apple.com, and install it directly to the device using iTunes.
The new iOS updates implement APFS file system.

Puppy thief shoots himself in the leg
12-22-2019, 04:36 PM (This post was last modified: 12-30-2019, 05:43 PM by Catherine.)
First let me tell you that the puppy is safe and back home. The thief met up with the owners of the puppy claiming he wanted to buy it.
Instead he pulled out a gun and took the puppy. While he was running away with the puppy he shot himself in the leg. The man was captured and the puppy safely returned to his people.
https://ottawacitizen.com/news/canada/ma...d221cf2fd3
The thief is getting no sympathy for what happened to him. Everyone feels that it is what he deserves for stealing a puppy like that.
He certainly didn't plan very well and he clearly isn't up to speed on firearms either. He might be safer in jail where he can't hurt himself.
Karma can take a lifetime to happen sometimes, but in this case it came quickly. I hope that this young man learns his lesson.
I don't need to say any more than LPC just said. I also hope he learns his lesson.
Quote: Karma can take a lifetime to happen sometimes, but in this case it came quickly. I hope that this young man learns his lesson.
That is pretty much the general feeling. His encounter with karma came swiftly.
Karma got him and I'm glad the puppy is safe.
I am beginning to really like karma. It has a sense of humour. The thief shot himself with his own gun. How ridiculous is that. He looks like a real idiot. Doesn't a gun have a safety that prevents it from firing?
Catherine, as a Canadian, can you tell me how he got to get a gun in the first place? I thought that your country was much stricter than the USA and requires a licence (only for sound valid reasons).
Quote: Catherine, as a Canadian, can you tell me how he got to get a gun in the first place? I thought that your country was much stricter than the USA and requires a licence (only for sound valid reasons).
Good point. It could have been an illegal gun that was smuggled across the boarder. It isn't that easy to get a gun here. They are registered and the police know who has guns. Some people do go to gun clubs and shoot at targets. Clearly the thief wasn't a gun club member. He shot himself. If you handle a gun properly that wouldn't happen.
We actually want to ban guns even more in Toronto.
I think city council might put something through that makes it harder to get a gun.
The illegal guns are harder to control, but we want and need to control them too.

I used to offer an intensive eight-week class that would sell out the same day. (One time the first eight spots sold out in six minutes!) Now I'm offering a private version of the class that is customized to your writing needs. This means that each week I tailor your assignment to what your book needs most. This is based on a preliminary read of your writing plus your previous week's assignment.
We meet up each week for a private session, an hourlong discussion via Skype or Hangouts. You also get a weekly lecture and assignment, sometimes a video and Powerpoint presentation. By the end of our eight weeks together, I'll send you a total of 18 lectures and 15 videos.
In this class, you'll spend lots of time crafting new pages of your book. You'll also get tons of info from me in the form of weekly lectures as well as recorded on-camera lectures. We'll spend a great deal of time talking about the structure of your book with multiple exercises devoted to linking the scenes in your chapter together (the basis for good chapter structure).
Written lectures: Each week you'll receive a written lecture from me that runs about seven to ten pages. This lecture covers a topic critical to the successful writing of your memoir. At the end of this written lecture, you'll find your weekly assignment.
Recorded lectures: In addition to your written lecture, you'll often receive a recorded lecture, consisting of me on-camera talking about a particular aspect of memoir writing. This may be related to the written lecture, but there will always be new information in the recorded lecture. This video is yours to keep and review as many times as you like.
Written feedback. Each week you'll receive an assignment that is directly related to crafting the pages of your memoir. Prior to our call, I'll give you written feedback to this assignment.
Weekly Skype or Hangouts call: Each week we'll speak for an hour about your work and a particular memoir-writing concept that I want you to grasp.
Now I See You by Nicole C. Kear: The story of a nineteen year old who only has a decade before she goes completely blind and decides to make the most of her life before then. This is a light and funny book (in spite of its dark subject matter). It's well constructed – and the fact that the prose is airy and easy to read makes it easy to find structure in its pages.
Everything You Ever Wanted by Jillian Lauren: Here's the Amazon description: "In her younger years, Jillian Lauren was a college dropout, a drug addict, and an international concubine in the Prince of Brunei's harem, an experience she immortalized in in her bestselling memoir, SOME GIRLS. In her thirties, Jillian's most radical act was learning the steadying power of love when she and her rock star husband adopt an Ethiopian child with special needs." The prose is lovely in this book. The author also gives us the illusion that she's giving us the story of her life – but she does this with a controlled use of structure that never gives us the "This happened, then this" sensation.


Counseling is the practice of talking about your thoughts, feelings and experiences with a trained professional to better understand your concerns and learn new ways of coping with life's struggles.

To avoid the mess of utterance, say less - Speak of work and do each task with full caution. Although the fault is human nature. Less than anyone is more than anyone, however, it is a bigger mistake to resort to lies to hide a mistake. Do not hide the fault, but correct the mistake.
When you try to hide a mistake by resorting to lies, you also reduce the chances of improvement. If you get used to lying once, then you will find it very difficult to tell the truth.
Try to avoid falsehood and try to avoid the truth which becomes the cause of suffering for anyone. The truth that becomes a cause of shame to someone and a reason for self-aggression is also not auspicious.
21606 - Mughal ruler Bahadur Shah defeats his third brother Kambakhsh in Hyderabad.
Bahadur Shah was first born on October 16, 19 in Burhanpur.

2118 - Rana of Udaipur concludes a treaty with Britain to protect Mewar.
215 - William Bryden, the only surviving member of the 12,500 British troops retreating from Kabul, arrives in Jalalabad.
The British entered Afghanistan from Quetta in the south on the 19th. Initially, the British occupied cities like Kandahar, Ghazni and Kabul. There, the British enriched Shah Shuja, a former contender for the Afghan throne, who had yet to hide in Kashmir and the Punjab. But it did not remain popular and the people of Afghanistan looked like foreign puppets.
In 191, the Afghans revolted against the British in Kabul. They besieged the fort, killing British soldiers. In the early 19th century, the British surrendered. At 12, he was given a safe exit. Before Jalalabad reached the English hiding place and from the Afghan invasion almost all the people died and one person assistant surgeon William Bryden was able to return.

Bloody British Film Council
Lu holding a flyer in 2014
Once again, I must apologise for the complete lack of updates to this page. I have no excuses, nada. Once again we ran out of money. And really we DO NEED some more money in order to properly distribute the film. You see the British Board of Film Classification has to grant us a Film Certificate in order for us to have any more screenings or to sell DVDs.
We blagged an exemption last year, because the cost was and is prohibitively expensive for a small self-financed film like The Stagg Do. I actually spoke to someone in the BBFC office last week and it appears we'll need around £2000 - yes - TWO THOUSAND POUNDS to pay for the certification. It breaks down something like this (rough figures as it's per minute):
Theatrical Certification -- £750
DVD Certification -- £450 (inc 25% discount)
DVD extras Certification -- ALLOW £700 - yes, every extra need a certificate - FFS!
So although LOADS of you have asked for DVDs and to host screenings our hands have been tied by this unavoidable cost of doing business! GRRRR. I thought the last three British governments were in the corner of small businesses, I suppose I thought wrong. Anyway as a result, once again our wheels ground to a shuddering halt.
Then a funny thing happened.
At the start of June, James was looking at The Stagg Do IMDb page when he discovered someone had posted a lovely review of the film in May 2015. Someone who was at the World Premiere almost 12 months earlier had actually gone out of their way to write a film review of The Stagg Do. That review, that single act of kindness or cheerleading or appreciation or whatever you want to call it actually caused us to shake off the self pity and to paraphrase Old Blue Eyes "pick ourselves up and get back in the race".
Here we are just 12 months out from our successful World Premiere - which would've been in the Top 10 for screen average that weekend - with a completed film and another barrier that stops us from releasing it properly and legally. But what we do have is a renewed passion, an additional fuck you chip on the shoulder and the same bloody mindedness that has got us this far.
So if you still believe in us and in The Stagg Do and like Jed on IMDB and Dave in Australia who sends me messages every now and then asking how he can get his hands on a DVD, I have an announcement to make... We will be launching a Kickstarter campaign on July 1. We aren't looking for earth-shattering amounts of cash, just enough to get us over the final hump. I think we've been pretty fair in our perk pricing structure and I sincerely hope you will join us in making this last stage possible.
Please keep a look out for our campaign and share it with your friends and family, also if you can afford to, please sling us a couple of quid. We have some great rewards waiting for you. PLUS of course you'll be helping us to get the DVD released. We have great plans for a kick-ass DVD launch this Autumn so keep yer peepers peeled and glued to this page. xxx


D.C. United (2018): The second-year man became a familiar face to fans of the Black-and-Red earning 27 appearances (21 starts). The Hungarian international scored five goals for United this season. Stieber's two point performances against the New York Red Bulls, Philadelphia, and Vancouver this season have solidified him a dangerous midfielder in this league. The winger solidified a massive three points for United with a well taken goal against New England on August 19. Stieber set new career-highs for successful passes (61), total touches (91), and total shots (five) in a game against Orlando City SC. Stieber also earned one cap for Hungary in 2018, appearing in a UEFA Nations League match against Finland.
D.C. United (2017): Since joining the Black-and-Red in August, Stieber became a key component in the United midfield, appearing in all eight of the club's final matches, making six starts. The Hungarian international quickly established himself in MLS, playing 80 minutes in his first start on Aug. 26 against New England. Stieber helped force a draw with the New York Red Bulls on Sept. 27 after his free kick was deflected into the Red Bull net in first half stoppage time. Stieber then recorded his first MLS assist by starting the passing sequence that led to Mullins' 70th minute goal. The attack-minded midfielder was a consistent offensive threat and he provided United with 16 key passes in only six starts. In 2017, Stieber earned six caps for Hungary. He featured in four out of Hungary's six World Cup qualification matches.
The 28-year-old has 21 caps for the Hungarian national team, including three appearances during the 2016 UEFA European Championship. Stieber scored against Austria in Hungary's first match at the tournament and has appeared in matches throughout World Cup and Euro qualification.
The Hungarian totaled 129 appearances in 2. Bundesliga, scoring 26 goals and recording 38 assists. He also made 50 appearances in the Bundesliga, scoring 6 goals and adding 6 assists.
After growing up in Sárvár, Hungary, Stieber spent several years in the Aston Villa academy, and played for Yeovil Town (English League One) on loan. The left-footed attacker signed with TuS Koblenz in 2. Bundesliga (the German second division) in January of 2009, marking the beginning of successful career in Germany. Stieber played for Alemannia Aachen, Mainz 05, Greuther Fürth, Hamburger SV and most recently 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
Stieber, who has most often lined up as a left winger, can also play on the right, as a central attacking midfielder, a secondary forward, center forward and even as a left back.
August 9, 2017 - United acquired Hungarian midfielder Zoltán Stieber from 1. FC Kaiserslautern in Germany on a permanent transfer.

Alouettes' season sinking fast after lopsided loss to Lions
VANCOUVER — A quarterback change failed to be the antidote the Alouettes needed to help their flagging offence. And now their defence has started to take on water.
Montreal's miseries on the West Coast continued Friday night, the Als outscored 38-27 by the British Columbia Lions before 18,107 spectators at BC Place.
Although the Als won here last season — with Rakeem Cato at quarterback — that marked their first victory at the domed facility since 2000. Cato, of course, was replacing the benched Kevin Glenn against the Lions.
The Als were held to one offensive touchdown for the second consecutive game and lost their third straight. Montreal remains last in the East Division, with a 3-8 record and will soon be out of playoff contention.
B.C., meanwhile, improved to 8-3. The Lions now have won one more game than they did in 2015. They were paced by Jeremiah Johnson's two touchdowns. Johnson rushed for more than 150 yards.
After the Als were held without a first down on their opening possession, Chris Rainey, who played for Montreal, returned the punt 35 yards to the visitor's 43.
Johnson gained 23 yards on a run up the middle. Two plays later, after quarterback Jonathon Jennings was hit for a five-yard loss, he passed 25 yards to Emmanuel Arceneaux for a touchdown at 3:36. Johnson ran the ball into the end zone for a two-point convert and, just like that, the Lions led 8-0.
Following a 33-yard kickoff return by Stefan Logan, Cato engineered an impressive drive. Indeed, Cato completed all seven of his pass attempts on the drive, including a 21-yarder to Duron Carter that the Als had to challenge. But the drive eventually stalled deep in red zone and Montreal settled for Anthony Fera's 12-yard field goal at 8:47.
Jennings then engineered a six-play, 72-yard drive, the Lions scoring on their second possession. The drive included a 24-yard pass to Shawn Gore, who played collegiately at Bishop's, along with a 19-yard run by Jennings. Following a 10-yard pass to Bryan Burnham, Johnson ran 12 yards up the middle for a touchdown at 12:12 and a 15-3 B.C. lead.
Johnson was playing for the first time in three games, having sat out a two-game Ontario swing while the team utilized Anthony Allen out of the backfield.

As the opening quarter came to and end, the Lions made it three-for-three on possessions ending in touchdowns. This time, the home team went 67 yards in six plays.
On the opening play of the second period, Rainey scampered for a 33-yard gain, linebacker Winston Venable missing the tackle. Two plays later, a pass to Burnham was good for 22 yards. From there, Johnson scored on a one-yard run at 1:47.
Richie Leone missed the convert, but the Lions still were comfortably ahead 21-3.
Passes of 16 yards to Geraldo Boldewijn and 41 yards to Burnham moved the ball to the Als' nine-yard line later in the quarter. But the defence finally buckled down, forcing Leone and the Lions to settle for a 17-yard field goal at 11:09 and a 24-3 advantage.
The Als then decided to make a change to their offensive line, replacing left-tackle Jacob Ruby with Phillip Blake. Kristian Matte slid over to left guard, while Luc Brodeur-Jourdain entered the game and played his customary position at centre.
And, for what it's worth, the Als coincidentally scored on the drive — Fera kicking a 42-yard field goal at 13:54. That sent the teams to their respective dressing room with the Lions leading, 24-6.
The second half began in familiar fashion — Johnson gaining 26 yards on the opening play to the Montreal 47. But two plays later, Boldewijn fumbled a pass when hit by rookie cornerback Jonathon Mincy. The ball was recovered by linebacker Chip Cox, who returned it 58 yards for a touchdown after only 56 seconds.
It was the first touchdown of the season by Montreal's defence — the sixth of Cox's career.
That should have provided Montreal with some momentum, but the Lions answered back immediately, going on a 12-play, 76-yard drive. The drive included passes covering 12 yards to Arceneaux, 11 to Boldewijn, another 15 yarder to Arceneaux and a 21 yarder to Burnham.
Following an 18-yard pass to Rainey, combined with a horse-collar tackle against Venable, Lulay scored on a one-yard run at 7:31.
That gave the Lions at 31-13 lead — and Montreal's offence had yet to run a play in the second half.
The Als then subsequently went two-and-out. Ruby was back at left-tackle.
Montreal finally generated some offence as the third quarter came to an end. Cato passed 19 yards to Nik Lewis and 16 yards to tailback Tyrell Sutton. Receiver Duron Carter, on the halfback option, then completed a 37-yard pass to B.J. Cunningham to the Lions' 27-yard line.
But the drive stalled and the period ended with Fera's 33-yard field goal on the final play, making the score 31-16.
Fera kicked a 29-yard field goal almost six minutes into the fourth quarter, but it mattered little. That's because Johnson scored on a 26-yard sweep at 9:17, giving the Lions a comfortable 38-19 cushion.
Just when it appeared the Als would go yet another game without scoring an offensive touchdown — a recurring theme this season — Cato passed 26 yards to Lewis at 10:49. He then passed to Kenny Stafford for a two-point convert, narrowing the deficit to 11 points.
Montreal's next game is Friday night, at Hamilton.

CAMBODIA: Indigenous Cambodian Villagers Fear Loss of Forest
Type: News
Source:Radio Free Asia
Keywords: Environment, land grabs,
Indigenous villagers in northeastern Cambodia's Ratanakiri province fear they will be displaced from their communal forest following illegal logging that rights groups say has reduced natural water supplies in the area.
In Ratanakiri's Lumphat district, some 50 hectares (120 acres) of forest used by indigenous villagers around Kunthy mountain has been cleared of trees, investigators from local rights group ADHOC said after visiting the forest late last month.
Villagers fear the area has been logged in preparation for it to be sold to land speculators, raising concerns that all of the 600 hectares (1,480 acres) of communal forest could also be logged and sold.
Some 150 villagers signed a petition delivered to the Ratanakiri Forestry Administration in late January that called for a stop to further logging in their area.
Sun Lek, a villager in Tapang, among the areas in Lumphat hit by illegal logging, urged forestry officials to investigate the illicit activities and prevent speculators from buying land allocated to indigenous groups, which under Cambodia's land and forestry laws have the right to use local forests for their livelihood.
"They almost destroyed our forest. There is only a little left, and we need to protect it," he told RFA's Khmer Service. "About 600 hectares of land will be destroyed."
Corruption fears
He said the village chief has threatened to arrest anyone who dares to file complaints against local authorities over the illegal activities, which villagers suspect are stoked by government corruption.
ADHOC's Ratanakiri investigator Chhay Thy said he believes local authorities were linked to the illegal logging in Lumphat which had been carried out with modern equipment.
Local villagers were likely to lose the 50 hectares that had been logged to speculators who buy up land in the remote province to sell to private developers, he said.
"We are very concerned. There is a movement to persuade the villagers to sell their land," he said. "We are facing the loss of 50 hectares of land."
Tapang village chief Tit Chheng rejected claims that local authorities were involved in any deals with land speculators in the area.
Deputy Provincial Forestry Department director Phann Phin welcomed the villagers' filing their complaint, saying it would help authorities investigate illegal logging.
"When they shed some light on the problem it is easier for us to investigate," he told RFA.
Water supplies drying up
Local rights groups, including ADHOC and NGO Forum, have long raised concerns that indigenous communities in Ratanakiri and neighboring Mondulkiri province have not been consulted when land deals are made between the government and private companies, which often resulting in trees being cleared to make way for new projects.
Under Cambodia's forestry laws, indigenous communities have the right to use forests they have traditionally relied upon for collecting forest products such as dead wood and resin, as well as to continue using water resources such as streams and rivers in the forest.
After years of losing forest to illegal logging and land deals in Ratanakiri, indigenous communities in Ratanakiri have seen their natural water supply sources shrink as the lack of trees reduces the content of water in the soil and the atmosphere, Chhay Thy said.
"We have noticed that water sources like river tributaries and ponds have dried out across the province," he said.
"Some of the natural water resources that indigenous communities used to rely on have dried up due the destruction of the forest."
The province once had a uniform climate, but now it can be separated into three climate zones because of the havoc wreaked on the local ecosystem, he said.
Green groups have said illegal logging and rapid economic and population growth have driven deforestation in Cambodia, which has one of the fastest deforestation rates in the world.
A global study by U.S. researchers at the University of Maryland that was published in December found Cambodia had lost more than 7 percent of its forest cover between 2000 and 2012, the fifth-fastest rate in the world.
Since 1973, the country's forest cover has fallen from around 72 percent to about 46 percent, according to a series of maps using NASA images released in December by local nongovernment organization Open Development Cambodia.

Click to the left to download the brochure and find out about naming opportunities.
Construction began Wednesday, October 1st, 2014, at 10:00am with the driving of the first pile. After 10 months of work the building opened with much fanfare on August 21, 2015!
The Fr. Val Ambrose McInnes, O.P. Center for Catholic Life is a new home and starting point for efforts to strengthen the Catholic presence on campus and better serve the Tulane University community. Fr. Val was the first Dominican friar to serve as chaplain for Tulane students as well as a beloved priest and friend to generations of Tulane students, faculty, staff and the local community until his passing in November 2011. The new center continues his legacy of fostering the engagement of Catholic faith with higher education.

The think tank IPPR has called for increased tenant-power within the private rental sector to give renters the kind of clout existing in Germany.
IPPR has made a comparison of the rental sectors in both England, where 19 per cent of households private rent, and Germany, where the figure is nearer 40 per cent. It says that in Germany only 23 per cent of renters pay more than two-fifths of their household income in rent, whereas in England the figure is 33 per cent.
It also says a key difference between Germany and England is the role of tenants' associations.
Three million German tenants belong to local tenant associations that can lobby in addition to providing legal cover, advice and arbitration for disputes between tenants and landlords. These associations typically operate as local branches of national organisations.
It also urges mass membership organisations such as trade unions to support private tenant members through legal advice and dispute resolution support services.
IPPR argues that the government's recent pledge to ban letting agents' fees levied on tenants in England is the start of what could be a better deal for tenants.
"Private tenants need to be given much greater voice and power. This will help make sure their voice is heard in a debate that is often dominated by the goal of home ownership as well as provide them with more practical help to drive up the quality of rented homes. Doing this as well as better regulation of renting and building many more homes will be key to solving the housing crisis" claims Charlotte Snelling, IPPR researcher on housing.

Q: ASP.NET Identity UserManager UpdateAsync return null I would like to update the user profile. For this purpose,I wrote "Change Profile" method in web api.I have a problem with updating user data because "UpdateAsync" returns all the time null.

[HttpPost]
[Route("api/ChangeProfile")]
[ResponseType(typeof(AccountModel))]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> ChangeProfile([FromBody]AccountModel model)
{
    var userStore = new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(new ApplicationDbContext());
    var manager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(userStore);
    var user = await manager.FindByNameAsync(model.UserName);
    if (user != null)
    {
        var updateUser = new ApplicationUser()
        {   UserName = model.UserName,
            Email = model.Email,
            FirstName = model.FirstName,
            LastName = model.LastName,

        };

        IdentityResult result = await manager.UpdateAsync(updateUser);

        return Ok(result);
    }
    else
    {
        return NotFound();
    }
}

AccountModel:
  public class AccountModel
{
    public string UserName { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string LoggedOn { get; set; }
    public string Roles { get; set; }
}

Any help or suggestion is welcome.

A: Firstly you need go one more step on your debugging.
In addition, instead of creating a new AplicationUser, you must update the fields of the user that was retrieved from the database.
 if (user != null)
 {
    user.UserName = model.UserName,
    user.Email = model.Email,
    user.FirstName = model.FirstName,
    user.LastName = model.LastName,
 };

 IdentityResult result = await manager.UpdateAsync(updateUser);
 return Ok(result);
 }

Regards.

Mohsen Chavoshi has currently two albums queued for release. The first in line which is due out already on Wednesday this week is titled "Haris". This album which has due to unclear reasons pushed back the release of the previously announced "Man Khod Aan Sizdaham", features eleven tracks and is released on Tasvire Donyaye Honar. Also, it should be mentioned that Mohsen Chavoshi has finally confessed in an interview with Etefaghe No that his song "Chaar Divaari" on the album "Jacket" in fact is a cover! He expresses regret for doing a cover and claims that it is his first and last cover, since he is more than capable to compose own songs. Although the original song in question is not mentioned in the interview, due to obvious reasons, it is the song "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus.

Q: Clojure: Working with vector and ref Please someone who worked with ref and vector could help-me ?
This vector in each line there is a (ref {:desc "text" :amount double}):
[#<Ref@1cda773e: {:desc "DESC1", :amount 100}
 #<Ref@468dd81: {:desc "DESC2", :amount 200}
 #<Ref@1e95e716: {:desc "DESC3",:amount -50}>]

Is it possible take all amounts above and put it in a new vector like this : [100, 200, -50].
Working with refs is quite difficult and I don't know to to access them.

A: Here's one way to do it:
user=> (def data [{:desc "DESC1", :amount 100} {:desc "DESC2", :amount 200} {:desc "DESC3",:amount -50}])
#'user/data
user=> (def my-refs (map #(ref %) data))
#'user/my-refs
user=> (vec (map #(-> % deref :amount) my-refs))
[100 200 -50]


For months now there's been speculation about Rob "Hyper" Sharpe's secret past. Why does the likeable firefighter turn cagey when questions about his lovelife arise? And why is he never ready to talk in detail about his social life?
Despite his secrecy, no-one is expecting the skeleton that leaps from his closet in this week's London's Burning. Having spent the day rehearsing a fire safety play, later in the mess. Hyper reveals that he is gay.
The news leaves his Bluewatch collegues reeling. Some think it's a joke, some accept it, while others react badly. "There has been a lot of pressure and Poison Pearce has been snooping around," says actor Connor Byrne who plays him. "It looks like everyone's going to find out, so Hyper decides to tell them over a meal."
Connor, 36, knew when he joined the series that his character was going to be gay and asked the Fire Brigade Union's Gay and Lesbian Support Group for advice. "The Fire Brigade is one of the best public employers in terms of policies when it comes to homosexuality," he says. "They don't care as long as you can put out a fire"
Connor wanted to portray what he considered to be a large, under-represented section of gay men. "There are huge numbers of gays who don't mince around like screaming queens. Like Hyper, they are just men whose sexual preferences are different. Hyper is a lad who happens to be gay. So what? But what you can't overlook is that in the Fire Brigade you have to get on. It's like a family. So as the others react is very important to Hyper. The gay fire officer I spoke to said his brigade was very suppoertive when he came out," says Connor. "But in this job, you are dealing with death, which puts things like sexuality into perspective."
Connor is full of admiration for real life firefighters and loves being part of Bluewatch. The only downside is he doesn't get to spend as much time with his daughter, Mimi, who will be two in June. "My wife Becky is an actress and we both reckon its almost certain that our daughter will follow in our footsteps. She's already a little star. She's actually made her first TV appearance when she was just eight days old in Birds of a Feather. I had a part in the last ever episode and they needed a new born baby, so I took Mimi in. But just to make sure that acting really is in her blood we've given her the perfect actress name - Me Me!"
