Q: Unbound breakpoints when debugging in Blazor Webassembly when using certain attributes/classes I'm developing a modular blazor application (5.0.2) using VS 2019 (16.8.4), which is structured as follows:

*

*a "Main" Solution, which consists of

*

*RCL

*Wasm project to startup the application

*several "Sub" solutions which reference the Main RCL (Base components, etc) which consist of

*

*.net5 libraries (Models, Web-service access, etc)

*RCL with components, referencing the .net5 libraries (via project reference)

All projects have a post-build event to copy the DLL and PDB files to a certain path, e.g. D:\TMP.
The SubSolution references the MainRCL library via this path.
The Main Wasm project references the SubRCL library also via this path (for adding services at startup/Program.cs).
The MainRCL does not have a reference to SubRCL (components are rendered via reflection/BuildRenderTree() according to configurable UI definition).
Debugging the Main Solution worked perfectly (IIS Express/Application Debugging).
Then I tried to debug the SubModules -> I started debugging from the MainSolution and opened files from the SubModules projects in this VS instance.
At some libraries, debugging was working, but not for the SubRCL ("Unbound Breakpoint"). Then I was able to reproduce the (very strange) issue with sample solutions:
The "MainRCL" provides 2 Attributes:
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class)]
public sealed class TestNoEnumAttribute : Attribute
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string Mode { get; set; }

    public TestNoEnumAttribute(string name, string mode)
    {
        Name = name;
        Mode = mode;
    }
}

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class)]
public sealed class TestEnumAttribute : Attribute
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public EventExecutionMode Mode { get; set; }

    public TestEnumAttribute(string name, EventExecutionMode mode)
    {
        Name = name;
        Mode = mode;
    }
}

public enum EventExecutionMode
{
    AutomaticAll = 0,
    ManualConfiguration = 2
}

The SubRCL uses these attributes at a test-method:
[TestNoEnum("Test", "EventExecutionMode.ManualConfiguration")]
//[TestEnum("Test", EventExecutionMode.ManualConfiguration)]
public class Module1Test
{
    public int IncreaseNum(int num)
    {
        var x = new Part1();
        var part1Num = x.DoStuff(num);
        var newNum = part1Num + 1;
        return newNum;
    }
}

The class "Part1()" which is called, is located at another library of the SubSolution
The breakpoint at the "DoStuff()" method in Part1 class is always hit (in separate .net5 library).
The breakpoint at the "IncreaseNum()" method is only called when the [TestEnum] attribute is NOT used.
As soon as the [TestEnum] attribute is used, there is an "Unbound Breapoint"; the breakpoint in "DoStuff()" method in another library is still hit.
Then I tried to "add existing project" to SubSolution and added the MainWasm project and started debugging directly from SubSolution -> same behavior.
Is there anything I oversee (e.g. regarding DLL-references or PDB file copy)?
This is already my second approach of trying to debug these modular-structured solutions - first I tried to debug via IIS (How to debug Blazor Webassembly on IIS with VS by attaching to Chrome?), but this was also not successful.

A: Found out there is an issue with debugging when using attribues with enum parameters:
https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/25380
-> I replaced the enum parameters and debugging is working fine now - Didn't get any feedback when this will be fixed so far

A: I had the same issue with my Blazor WASM not able to be debugged in VS due to 'Unbound breakpoint'.  I have multiple projects running under the same solution and while initially the debugging worked for the WASM, it stopped after a while.
Eventually I was able to find a work around by waiting until all projects loaded and then I could disable the 'Unbound' breakpoint and re-select it.  It then worked as expected.
It's not an ideal solution (especially if you have multiple breakpoints while troubleshooting) but it is workable.

A: I had this problem in .NET 6 and Visual Studio 2022.
I made a codebehind-file component.razor.cs but I also had code in the razor-file itself. Moving the code to the codebehind-file solved the issue and enabled the breakpoints.

At Advanced Endodontic of Houston, we pride ourselves on providing endodontic care at the forefront of innovation and technology. We employ advanced technologies to enhance the quality of care for our patients. Such advances include an operating microscope, digital radiography, ultrasonic instrumentation and fiber optic technologies.
Our practice is equipped with surgical microscopes. The enhanced magnification and illumination of the operating microscope allows superior visualization of the finest detail in the tooth structure, thereby allowing us to perform the highly technical aspect of the endodontic treatment with precision.
The Electronic Apex Locator is among other technologies that facilitates predictable non-surgical endodontic treatment. The incorporation of electronic Apex Locator allows accurate computer measurement of root canals during endodontic treatment, thereby accelerating the procedure while reducing the need for additional radiographs.
Ultrasonics are among the other technological advancements that have opened up entirely new vistas for the successful treatment of both surgical and non-surgical cases. These sophisticated units are used to remove post and uncover the dystrophically calcified portions of the chamber to gain access to the canals. Ultrasonic instruments are also used for retrocavity preparation of the root end during microsurgical intervention.
In our practice, instrumentation of root canal is facilitated by files made of a unique alloy of Nickel-Titanium. The extreme flexibility of the Nickel-Titanium files preserves the anatomy of the root canal by following the canal path resulting in efficiency, predictability, and improved clinical results of endodontic treatment of significantly curved canals.
Our practice utilizes an advanced computerized imaging system called "Computed Dental Radiography". This highly sophisticated imaging system provides an immediate digital image of the tooth during treatment while dramatically reducing the amount of patient exposure to radiation.


What we have here are two similar models that came out of Japan in 1968. The conservative two pickup model called the Liberty MS 150 and the over-the-top four pickup version called the Norma EG 521-4. Conservative? Well, relative to the Norma EG 521-4, yes! Both guitars have the same solid body design with 24 3/4" scale bolt-on maple neck, 22 frets plus a zero fret and a Jazzmaster style tremolo system. Each guitar has individual on/off pickup selector switches, a rhythm/solo switch, and individual volume controls with a master tone control.

SCO chairman wants Congress to make port 80 porn-free
SCO's Ralph Yarro heads a group that has convinced the governor of Utah to …
Nate Anderson - Mar 15, 2007 8:09 pm UTC
The governor of Utah signed a nonbinding resolution on Tuesday that calls on the US Congress to do something about the rising tide of Internet pornography, preferably using technology to stick it in a ghetto where those who don't want to see it don't have to do so. The resolution, which passed both houses of the Utah legislature, was backed by CP80 ("Clean port 80"), a group founded and headed by Ralph Yarro. CP80's plan to cleanse the Internet isn't the only controversy that Yarro's involved in, though; he also happens to chair the board of directors for SCO.
Yarro's bio lists his previous experience as a "graphic artist" for the Noorda Family Trust (Ray Noorda helmed Novell for many years, and Yarro was a confidant of his; he had a recent falling-out with the Noordas that escalated into a lawsuit). Yarro now spends time trying to get "graphic" art pushed into its own corner of the Internet through his work with CP80, which wants Congress to legislate that all porn must use a series of alternate ports. Port 80, the main HTTP port, would be reserved as a "community channel."
"The Internet is not a force of nature—it's a man-made creation. It can be changed and evolved to better serve us all," said Yarro in a statement after the signing of the resolution. "There is no reason why we should tolerate an Internet that allows children to easily access pornography."
This isn't going to happen automatically, so Yarro's group wants to bring the force of law to bear on the Internet to make it happen. CP80 wants Congress to pass the "Internet Community Ports Act" (written by CP80), but they have yet to find anyone who will introduce the legislation. So they're bringing pressure at the state level, hoping to goad Congress to action on the issue. Their draft bill would use the "Miller test" for obscenity, and anything deemed obscene that appeared on the "community channel" would open the web site operator to a prosecution or fine.
Utah is the first state to pass such a resolution; not coincidentally, Yarro is from the state and exerts influence there. CP80's solution would apply to the US only, of course, and their plan for dealing with international pornographers (who are unlikely to move to another port dictated by the US) is a simple but draconian one: consumers would ask ISPs to "simply block all IP addresses originating from a non-compliant country." Problem solved!
CP80 compares web browsing to watching television where all content is transmitted on a single channel; what parent would let a child watch a TV channel that could show porn at any moment? If we think of each web site address as the "channel number," though, the analogy falls apart—a worthwhile lesson in the danger of arguing from metaphors.
There are plenty of ways to keep from seeing porn on the 'Net, everything from web blockers to "accountability software" to specialized ISPs. But the truth is, it takes work and some stringent monitoring, and many people want a simpler fix. This idea is an attempt at providing one, but the plan elevates pornography over every other ill on the web: violence, racism, consumerism, and plenty of other "isms" would all be fit for the "community port," while porn would find itself on a special channel.
The port solution might be a nice solution to the porn problem (in theory) for those offended by it, but it's unlikely to work in practice. If mandated by government, all the old problems about "who decides?" pop up again, and censorship questions rear their ugly heads (does the government really want to get into the battle of classifying websites? Probably not). If left up to voluntary compliance, however, nothing's going to change, because few pornographers want to be confined to an easily-blocked ghetto, and the plan would face all the same problems faced by the .xxx domain name idea.
Even if it were to pass, how would it possibly be implemented? Would consumers really choose to shut off all access to other countries? This approach would only work well in a worldwide context with most nations signing on—which suggests that CP80's proposal really belongs with an international body like ICANN or the UN. A resolution signed by the governor of Utah seems hardly the way to make it happen.

Komet Pons-Winnecke (uradna oznaka je 7P/Pons-Winnecke) je periodični komet z obhodno dobo 6,37 let. Pripada Jupitrovi družini kometov.

Odkritje

Najprej ga je odkril francoski astronom Jean-Louis Pons (1761–1831) 12. junija 1819. Ponovno ga je odkril nemški astronom Friedrich August Theodor Winnecke 9. marca 1858. Verjetno je ta komet starševsko telo za meteorski roj junijski Bootidi, ki se pojavljajo na koncu junija.

Značilnosti

Komet ima jedro veliko približno 2,6 km. Njegova obhodna doba je 6,37 let. prisončje ima na razdalji 1,3 a.e., odsončje pa na razdalji 5,6 a.e.. Mimo Zemlje je letel na razdalji 0.04 a.e. (6 Gm) v juniju 1927 in na razdalji 0,04 a.e. (16 Gm) leta 1939.

Q: Usage of participles
she went out dissapointed

Vs

She went out dissapointedly.

What is the difference in meaning of these two sentences

A: -ly turns an adjective (or a participle being used like an adjective) into an adverb.
Adjectives modify nouns, adverbs modify verbs (or adjectives or other adverbs).
The effect is that this turns a word that says "what kind of X is X" into a word that says "how is X done".

she went out disappointed

This means she was disappointed (disappointed complements she - "went out" is being used copularly like be, seem, become, etc.).

she went out disappointedly

This means she went out in a disappointed way (disappointedly complements the verb phrase "went out" - explaining how she went out).
Now, you probably won't go out in a disappointed manner if you aren't disappointed, so both these expressions do lead to the same conclusion, but in a different way.


I was 32 years old when my husband, the love of my life, was diagnosed with cancer. I was 35 when our seven children and I (we're a blended family) lost him. For the past six years, most of the conversations I have end with the other person telling me how sorry they are or they look at me with eyes full of pity.
Don't get me wrong — it sucked. No part of watching the person you love most in the world suffer is easy. No part of holding the kids and telling them everything would be all right didn't feel a little bit like a lie. But don't pity us.
When I think about all of the people who have never had the love of a person as special as my Edward or children who had fathers who weren't as kind, that's when I feel pity. When I think of all the widows who didn't get a chance to say goodbye to their husbands who died in far-off countries fighting for our freedom or close to home with a heart attack in a car accident, I wonder how much harder that would have been.
But the truth is, we all die. Don't pity my family for learning early what we all will eventually learn: losing someone beloved is terrible. But we all will at some point. That's life. It's the blessing of having known someone so amazing that gives us the strength to go on. Cancer sucked. No doubt. But there are so many things in our lives we would never have known to be grateful for if we hadn't walked it. Including each other. No, don't pity us.
Edward's sister started a company to help families going through end-of-life issues like we did. About a year after his death, I started working there, too. Now I can proudly say there are literally thousands of families out there who have benefited from what we went through, and we really feel like we make a difference in their lives.
My children have been through a lot, but they are stronger and kinder than they might otherwise be. We are a strange family, but one that every friend we know wishes they had. We call ourselves "The Tribe." And we exclude no one. Edward's ex-wife, mother of my stepchildren, comes over regularly for wine and gossip or just to check on us. Her daughter from a later marriage babysits my kids. They consider her their sister. We celebrate holidays together, we travel together, our large and ever-growing group really would die for one another. Maybe it seems strange to some, but Edward's death has given us a perspective not many are blessed to have this early in their lives. So don't pity us, we don't need it. We are doing great.
But if you're struggling, expect our help. Because that's what death teaches you. Don't let anyone suffer alone.
Charlotte Crumm is the wife of the late Edward Crumm and mother/stepmother to their seven children. Since his passing, Charlotte has joined Edward's sister, Wendy, at Claimjockey, a company founded in his honor, to help families (like theirs) with long-term care patients collect insurance benefits they were wrongly denied. She and her family are strong supporters of The Mighty and believe that through tragic circumstances great purpose can be found.

The Society of St Margaret
The Priory of Our Lady, Walsingham
The Society of St Margaret was founded by John Mason Neale in 1855 in East Grinstead. In 1947 three Sisters from the house in Haggerston moved to Walsingham to form a house to help at the Shrine of Our Lady.
The Sisters are a Traditional Anglican Community whose daily life is centred on the Eucharist and the daily Office, from which flows our growing involvement in the ministry of healing, and reconciliation in the Shrine, the local parishes and the wider Church. We welcome guests in our guest house for short periods of rest, relaxation and retreat, and are available to pilgrims and visitors. We also work in the Education Department in the Shrine


Serving wine at the proper temperature is something we all struggle with here in New Orleans. It's really an issue in the US in general; we drink our reds to warm and our whites too cold. Especially here in the sub tropics - our reds suffer severely from the idea that they are best served at "room temperature".
The whole room temperature red wine thing came out of Europe where those lovely stone castles and chateaus, lacking in central heat, remain a constant 60 some degrees. Then there are those cool underground cellars at where their whites rest at a perfect 55 degrees. That is a far cry from our poorly insulated below sea level homes in our stifling humidity and 90+ degree temperatures!
When we pour a white wine directly from our frosty 35 degree refrigerators to our glass, the aromatics and flavors are suppressed. The cold brings out greater astringency, which means the wine can tastes sharp and tart. And our room temperature average of 72 degrees for reds? They lose all their finesse and freshness to an overpowering sensation of alcohol and tannin. They're flabby, out of balance and not as enjoyable as they could be with a little help.
But you don't need to have an fancy wine cellar to serve/drink your wines at the proper temperature. If you store white wine in the refrigerator, take it out 20 minutes before you want to pour it. To cool down reds (or room-temperature whites), all you need is an ice bucket filled half with ice and half with water. If you're in a hurry, throw in a cup of salt. You can get to the right temperature in 10 minutes in an ice bath; or you can put reds in the fridge for about 45 minutes if you are thinking ahead, with whites, 2 hours in the fridge should be perfect. That's all it takes.
So I put one of the digital thermometers ($16 at swirl) on a bottle that is down in the dark corner where we store our wine at home and got this: 72 degrees. Upstairs in the kitchen while we are making dinner? Yikes! 75 degrees! In the fridge 30 minutes? A perfect 63!
Here's what we should be shooting for: Typical temperature for serving red wine ranges from 52ºF - 65ºF, and 45ºF- 50ºF for white wines. If you really want to get picky about this, there are different temperature suggestions for different varieties (see chart below). But I think if we just shoot for the averages for now, we'll all be happier wine drinkers!

LIVE: Faux Pas with Brooders & Bloodhound – Victoria Vaults, York
No Comments on LIVE: Faux Pas with Brooders & Bloodhound – Victoria Vaults, York
Faux Pas blow roof off local York venue Victoria Vaults during Independent Venue Week show playing alongside Brooders & Bloodhound.
Independent Venue Week is one of the best weeks in the musical calendar and this year, York's venues embraced it more than ever before. During the week, on a cold Wednesday night, I headed down to the Victoria Vaults, the fantastic venue that sponsors my radio show on Jorvik Radio, to see Brooders and Bloodhound support H2N favourites Faux Pas.
Kicking off the show were the rowdy Bloodhound who I'd never seen before, somehow. Having listened to some of their tracks before heading down to the Vaults, I was looking forward to their set, but sceptical over whether they'd be able to carry the same quality of their track music into their live performance. Luckily I was proved wrong as the guys came out with one hell of a noise; not just noise though, there was some real melody in what they were performing and after two songs I was sold on them.
At times I was pleasantly surprised with what I was listening to. Labelled as grunge-rock, there was much more depth to them than that. Hailing from Hull, the three-piece often sounded like they were a band with many more members than that. It was powerful, raw and full of huge riffs that left you well in the mood for what was coming up, two masterclasses in music from Bloodhound and Faux Pas.
I've heard a lot of good things from Brooders, no less from Joey and Ru in Faux Pas who are always complimentary about their music so I was really looking forward to their set. You can tell their comfortable playing on a bill with their mates and from the off, they bring the noise, and that noise doesn't die for the full 30 minute set.
Brooders are a band that have a real defined psychedelic/grunge style. Not many bands utilise their bass player to such an extent, but live, it is the bass that really shines through, and runs right through everyone in the audience. Whilst 80% of their tunes are fast, riff heavy, bass driven, grunge belters, they have a knack for writing a killer slow track and when they slow things right down, vocalist Adam Bairstow really makes his presence and quality on stage known. It's safe to say these guys have a unique sound and I look forward to seeing them grow further in 2020.
It was then the turn of Faux Pas to do exactly what Faux Pas do. I have run out of unique words for this band I've reviewed them that much, but it's probably testament to the guys that I never have a negative to say about them. Ru was on form too which makes for a really enjoyable set. 45 minutes of some of the Faux Pas classics were just what was needed on a dreary Wednesday night and that's exactly what was delivered. With new music on the horizon, this felt like a final hurrah to the old Faux Pas tracks and signalled the end of this era for the York band.
Set highlight That's My Ego, was one of the greatest tracks released by an unsigned artist in the 2010s and it stands out on the live Vaults stage. The crowd were energetic and I can honestly say I could have listened to another hour of their set. Joey Leyland on drums always impresses and is probably the best young drummer on the circuit right now so I'm very excited to see how he and the band evolve on their new tracks this year. Huge huge talent and I urge you to catch them live sometime.
Great gig, great representation of IVW in York and a great way to kick January into touch. Here's to a top 2020 for local artists and venues!

Consultation for Compatibility Marriages are made in heaven they say!
But, the strings have to be attached right here on earth and knowing who's made for you is extremely important. People generally look at face value, money or profession and family backgrounds when choosing partners or selecting someone for their son/daughter. Is that enough?
Sadly NO. These things will not ensure a successful marriage at all. Physical and Mental compatibility is often overlooked and that is the primary success driver in most relationships.
Dolly Manghat uses Astrology and Numerology to understand prospect bride and groom's personalities, capabilities and capacities to establish their compatibility as opposed to the traditional Gunas only. She believes that the pair in making need to communicate openly and clearly to establish this.
Her consultation is just the right platform for this to happen. The bride and groom will communicate openly with each other alongside Dolly Manghat. Parents from either side can be available too. At the end of the session, both parties will feel the right decision has been made and move ahead happily.

Bodycam video doesn't show Walker making a threatening move, family lawyer says
Published July 4, 2022 at 7:22 AM EDT
On the line with us now is Bobby DiCello. He is a member of the legal team representing Jayland Walker's family. Welcome.
BOBBY DICELLO: Thank you. Thank you for having me.
FADEL: So this video is hard to watch. We just heard a description of this crescendo of gunfire - estimates of 90 bullets that were fired at Jayland Walker after what police said was a, quote, "threatening movement." When you watched this video, what was your biggest concern about the way police responded here?
DICELLO: The absence of a threatening movement - and I'm not trying to be glib in any way. When we sat with the chief of police, who played the video for us on Thursday night of the previous week, we actually heard him say he had looked for but hadn't yet found this threatening movement. And then we go to the press conference yesterday, and we hear him now say something about, you know, moving to the waistband area. This was now the second possible story that we'd gotten from him because, although he had said to us he couldn't find anything, the officers were telling him - and I don't know which officers they were - that he may have been coming out of a shooting stance, none of which is true. And most importantly, as we sit here right now, as I am talking to you right now, not a single officer involved has issued a statement to anyone that we know of. And so what we fear and truly believe is that this is an orchestrated kind of harmonizing of events so that the officers can fall in line and then write their statements and provide that to BCI.
FADEL: Now, the police chief did call the bodycam video shocking. What do you see when you look at that footage?
DICELLO: I see a killing. I don't see an arrest. I see the end of a life for no reason. I see a problem in America today when young Black men go out that way.
FADEL: Now, police say you can hear a sound consistent with a gunshot on the video. Traffic cam footage shows what looks like a muzzle flash, and officers told dispatch there was a shot fired from that car door. Let's say that was a gunshot - or at least police thought it was a gunshot - does that in any way explain what we saw in these videos?
DICELLO: No. What it does explain is that these officers were charged up, were not trained properly, failed to de-escalate, failed to contain their own reactions to those words - shot fired or shots fired - and attacked my client. I mean, what's very, very clear is that, when he pulls over, and you can see the car and the flashlights of the officer pointing it at - you know, their flashlights at the car, you can see him bail out and start sprinting across at first some grass and then an open parking lot. And as he's running and starts to make just a turn to look over his shoulder - bam. And it's not just a bam. It sounds like those packs of firecrackers that go off when you light a whole pack. It is disturbing. And that kind of attack is why we're here to say we must give justice to Jayland.
FADEL: What does justice look like?
DICELLO: Justice very simply looks like accountability and change. Accountability looks and feels like a genuine apology first from each officer, and then a statement from the city in the form of compensation for his loss - the loss of his life. And ultimately, we have a change - a real change, where there's a new set of policies and procedures in place not only for the city, but hopefully for the entire state of Ohio. We're not going to stop just by changing Akron's way of doing things. The city of Akron made one tiny, small step in the right direction by passing a law as recently as last year to get this video out as quickly as it did. We applaud that. That's good. All cities across America should have similar laws that require this information to get out. But what needs to happen for my client's case and for all young Black Americans today who are getting out of their cars is there must be laws in place, and there must be procedures in place that protect them.
FADEL: It feels like we keep having these conversations, though - calls for justice, protests after Black men are killed by police. Will anything be different this time?
DICELLO: You know, I'm not naive. Of course, we know that these calls for change could sound hollow, but we have no choice but to be hopeful. We have to be hopeful. And we have to continue to push in the direction of this change, and I think that change starts with a dialogue - an honest dialogue about what is happening between law enforcement and Black Americans today in America.
FADEL: Bobby DiCello is a lawyer for the family of Jayland Walker. Thank you so much for being on the program.
DICELLO: Thank you for having me. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Stephen Frears: 'I'm quite startled to have made a film about God'
His eclectic back catalogue covers everything from monarchy and racism to homosexuality and Thatcherism. Now, British director Stephen Frears is taking on the Catholic church with his latest film Philomena. Just don't ask him how it happened
By Tim Martin 28 October 2013 • 11:30 am

Stephen Frears is home alone, pottering barefoot around his cheerful, art-crammed kitchen in slacks and a crumpled white T-shirt. He hasn't shaved. Would the photographer like him to go and shave? "Would he like to go and shave?" I counter. "Oh, I don't give a monkey's," he growls, in a tone dripping with comic resignation. "I don't care. But there are times when you think, I can't go on looking like a slob."
Attire notwithstanding, on this quiet Saturday afternoon in Notting Hill, Frears (who shows no sign of slowing down at 72) is very much in work mode. His next picture, which covers the cyclist Lance Armstrong's fall from grace, starts shooting in three weeks, and he is now, he explains, a fully paid-up member "of the School of Armstrong Studies. I've been thinking about him since last December and learning more and more. Every time I meet people, I say: 'Do I sound as though I know what I'm talking about?'" He looks briefly worried. "I hope I do."
Frears is one of Britain's highest-profile directors, but his work remains curiously hard to pin down. Starting out at the BBC and LWT in the glory days of Seventies drama, he has since taken whatever directing jobs he found most interesting at the time, resulting in a body of cinema and TV that takes in almost every genre apart from outright sci-fi. "People like me," he says with heavy self-deprecation, "go where the work is good." Often this scattershot approach results in blazing successes — Dangerous Liaisons, My Beautiful Laundrette, The Grifters, The Queen — but there are also, he admits, "some shockers", such as the overheated Jekyll-and-Hyde drama Mary Reilly or last year's rom-com Lay the Favourite.
It's equally difficult to classify his latest film Philomena, which manages somehow to crossbreed a sobering tale of ecclesiastical corruption with an odd-couple road picture. Based on a book by the journalist Martin Sixsmith, it tells the story of Philomena Lee, an Irishwoman who decides in her late-sixties to trace the illegitimate child she was forced to give up as a teenager in one of the Irish Catholic Church's notorious Magdalene laundries, where unmarried mothers were incarcerated and subjected to hard physical labour in return for their "asylum".

So far, so unpromisingly grim — but the film, which stars Judi Dench as Lee and Steve Coogan as Sixsmith, leavens its bitter story with a large helping of comedy. Co-written by Coogan, who brings to the script what Frears calls "his strong sense of the ridiculous", it evolves into the year's strangest buddy movie, as Coogan's prissy metropolitan journo sets out across America, accompanied by Dench's warm-hearted, daffy pensioner and hounded by a barking magazine editor in London ("Who are the goodies? Who are the baddies?"), played by Michelle Fairley (best known to many as steely matriarch Catelyn Stark in HBO's fantasy series Game of Thrones).
Philomena won the award for best screenplay at the Venice film festival, but other plaudits appealed more to Frears's sense of fun. "What was particularly satisfying," he says, "was that we got an award for the best Catholic film and an award for the best atheist film. That made me laugh a lot." The mounting frustration of Coogan's lapsed-Catholic character also went down well, with his explosive howl of 'F---ing Catholics!" garnering, Frears says, "a big round of applause." He gives a wolfish grin. "I kept saying, 'Can't we repeat that line?' but in the end Steve came to me and said, 'I can't say it twice in front of my parents!'"

Frears isn't at all keen to talk about the politics of the film — "I'm Jewish, I'm not religious at all and I wouldn't pretend to know anything about Catholic politics" — but he will admit that he was "quite startled to be making a film in which God appeared. Or in which God was talked about. I hadn't expected that to happen in my lifetime." He told an audience in Venice that he'd like the new Pope to see the film, but he doesn't seem to like being reminded of that. "Well, it's not a very difficult thing to say, is it?" he barks. "It's quite an easy, liberal thing to say. I mean, the Catholic Church don't make it difficult to criticise them." He reflects for a moment. "But my next line, when I was asked about this, was that the Pope seems a rather decent bloke."
Frears studied law at Cambridge in the Sixties, and although he has described the experience as "arse-achingly boring", his watchful precision in interviews would make him a fearsome opponent in a courtroom. Questions get batted away like flies — "It's not like that," "No, that's completely wrong," "Good God, no!" — but considerable warmth, a sidelong friendliness and a bone-dry sense of humour lie just beneath the grumpy surface. It's interesting, I say, to see Coogan playing a journalist in Philomena, after his very public criticisms of the News of the World during the phone-hacking scandal. "I was always trying to get him to say the line 'Well, maybe we should hack into their phones'," Frears agrees. "He could see how satisfying that would be, for some inexplicable reason." And isn't the Armstrong picture about to put another journalist centre-stage — this time the Sunday Times writer David Walsh, who exposed Armstrong's doping? "I know," he says, eyeing me beadily. "It's shocking. I thoroughly disapprove. Anyone would think I admired journalists."
But Philomena also marks the latest instalment in a clutch of recent films inspired by real events (The Deal, The Queen, his HBO drama Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight) that seem to suggest the closest thing in Frears's work to a trend. "People have been trying to find one for years and failing," he says tightly, then relents. "No, even I have noticed that. It's an interesting subject. If you say to an audience, 'This is a true story,' they start 20 yards up the track. In other words, fiction has become harder to get an audience to accept than fact. I'm being absolutely serious. If you ask Pathé they'll give you statistics about it."
He concedes that the docu-drama forms that draw him are "quite an odd combination of accuracy and invention, but I find that very interesting and satisfying." He muses for a moment. "Truth is quite constricting, in a way. You endlessly see at the start of a film 'This is a true story'. Whereas I prefer William Goldman's line, 'Some of what follows is true.'"

Walking the line between fact and drama can have its disadvantages, though. "You can't, sort of, unleash your fury," he says, when talk turns to his portraits of Tony Blair in The Deal and The Queen. "You actually bend over backwards to be fair to people; it's too easy or too silly otherwise. So you're overly generous, I always think." But Blair, clearly, continues to fascinate him. "What is astonishing is that the two people who have learnt nothing from Iraq are he and Alastair Campbell; they're the ones saying bomb Syria, bomb Iran." He gives a wry smile. "I was trying to construct a theory that he'd actually put an end to war, because no one will ever go to war again without consulting Parliament. It would be a very interesting thesis, that in order to promote a rather admirable cause he had to behave disgracefully. It's not a theory I've ever heard him or Alastair Campbell advancing." That's a Frears film I'd like to see, I say. "Well, that was what The Queen was about, wasn't it? In order to demonstrate her sincerity [about mourning Princess Diana] she had to behave hypocritically." He chuckles. "Particularly satisfying."
He claims not to know the budget for any of his projects. "I never ask," he says. "I just see the white faces of the producers. And I can see what their problems are. Ken [Loach] is retiring, because he says you make a film, it does quite well and then you start from the beginning again — so your life is spent permanently at the bottom of a ladder. Now, of course, I have it easy. How other people do it I don't know, but I know the struggle for money just drives you bananas." Even so, he sees no need to sound the death knell for British cinema. "Maybe money is now so tight that you have to make a good film, because you have no other choice," he says. "I've always found poverty a source of strength."
What keeps him going, he says, is the thrill of discovery. "I have no idea what'll turn up next," he says happily. "I like the surprise. I remember reading the script for Dangerous Liaisons and thinking that I could quite happily spend the rest of my life watching this film, the story and the writing were so wonderful. And Hanif Kureishi put My Beautiful Laundrette through the letterbox! All I said when I read that was 'This is very, very good, we should do it now,' and they all said, 'You don't want to do it, it's television.' And I thought — why would you not do it? Who gives a monkey's about the form? It's the content that's interesting."
Frears hasn't thought about life after the Armstrong film, but, he muses, "you never quite know where you're going. And then when you end up somewhere you say, 'Oh, I see, that was what it was about.' You're trying to find that out, really." How refreshing, I say, to find an established director so open to new input. "Well, what's the point of being someone who isn't open?" he rumbles with mock belligerence. "I'm a tart!"
Philomena is released in cinemas on Nov 1

Unrelated Business Income Taxes (UBIT) | Nonprofit Transportation Benefits
Submitted by cnp_admin on Mon, 12/10/2018 - 11:03am
A bipartisan tax package included the repeal of the tax on nonprofit transportation benefits. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill on December 17, 2019, and the Senate passed it two days later, which the President subsequently signed. The package was offered by Appropriations Committee Chair Lowey (D-NY) as an amendment - Section 302 of the manager's amendment, which was added to H.R. 1865 - National Law Enforcement Museum Commemorative Coin Act [Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020], the "minibus" that funds eight federal departments and more. On January 8, 2020, House Ways and Means Committee Chair Neal (D-MA) and Oversight Subcommittee Chair Lewis (D-GA) sent a letter to the IRS Commissioner asking the Service to create an expedited process for nonprofits to quickly secure refunds for any taxes paid under the now-repealed tax on nonprofit transportation benefits.
On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law Public Law No. 115-97, unofficially called the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which imposes a 21-percent unrelated business income tax on nonprofits for expenses they incur in providing their employees with transportation fringe benefits, such as parking and transit passes. In December 2018, the Treasury Department and the IRS provided partial guidance on how to calculate this new tax on parking expenses, but assumes that all expenses for bus and transit passes are subject to the tax. In both parking and transit benefits, the government will require the nonprofit employer to pay the tax on amounts employees request to be withheld from their paychecks pursuant to voluntary compensation reduction agreements.
The new unrelated business income taxes (UBIT) on nonprofits, which took effect on January 1, 2018, imposes an income tax on expenses of nonprofits. In addition to diverting resources away from nonprofit missions, the tax was imposed largely to reduce the overall costs of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a law that provided large tax cuts to corporations and wealthier taxpayers. It was justified at the time as providing parity with for-profit businesses that were no longer permitted to deduct transportation benefit costs. Further, the tax is exceedingly vague, and requires complex analysis and cost calculations to determine whether nonprofits expend enough on parking to be liable for the tax.
Nonprofits received little, if any, gains under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and yet are now subject to a new, illogical income tax on transportation benefits in the name of "parity." We and many in the community consider the "parity" argument a false equivalency, and believe that repeal is appropriate.
Letter to Incoming Tax Committee Chairs, November 26, 2018
Section 512(a)(7) is terrible tax policy and there is no support in the House or the Senate for retaining it. A full repeal of Section 512(a)(7) was included in the Economic Mobility Act of 2019 (H.R. 3300) that was approved by the House Ways and Means Committee on June 20. The provision would repeal the "required unrelated business taxation income (UBTI) of tax-exempt organizations to be increased by expenses related to qualified transportation fringe benefits," according to a section-by-section summary. Read the National Council of Nonprofits' written testimony and statement in support of repealing the tax.
Other bills in the 116th Congress, HR 1223 by House Majority Whip Clyburn (D-SC) and HR 513 by Representative Conaway (R-TX), would also repeal the tax. Two bipartisan bills have been introduced in the Senate. The "Lessen Impediments From Taxes for Charities Act" or the "LIFT for Charities Act" (S.632) was introduced in the Senate by Senators Lankford (R-OK) and Coons (D-DE). See the news release. Representative Walker (R-NC) has introduced a companion bill (H.R. 1545) in the House. More recently, Senators Cruz (R-TX) and Shaheen (D-NH) introduced the "Preserve Charities and Houses of Worship Act" (S.1282) to repeal Section 512(a)(7). The House Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee announced a hearing on "Ending the TCJA Tax on Houses of Worship, Charities, and Nonprofits" on June 19, 2019.
There is broad, bipartisan support for repealing this tax on tax-exempt organizations. In fact, there is not a Senator or Representative on record supporting keeping the tax.
The IRS issued guidance on December 10, 2018, for calculating parking expenses for unrelated business taxable income purposes and provided penalty relief to nonprofits. The guidance is incomplete, costly, and raises even more confusion for nonprofits struggling to comply. See the IRS News Release and National Council of Nonprofits summary and public comments.
Tell Congress to repeal the unfair tax on nonprofit transportation benefits immediately. Take five minutes today to Contact our Senators and Representatives directly:
Call your Representative at 202-225-3121 and Senators at 202-225-3121 and tell them the transportation tax on nonprofits is unfair and burdensome, and must be repealed immediately. Partial guidance from the IRS issued on December 10 is incomplete, costly, and raises even more confusion. Tell them that nonprofits – charitable organizations, houses of worship, and foundations – are all united in opposition to this tax, and tell them: "Your community nonprofits and your constituents we serve are counting on you; repeal the nonprofit transportation tax immediately."
Email your Representative and Senators using their contact forms (found on their home pages) and deliver the same message – "The transportation tax on nonprofits is unfair and burdensome, and must be repealed immediately. Partial guidance from the IRS issued on December 10 is incomplete, costly, and raises even more confusion. Charitable organizations, houses of worship, foundations, and association are all united in opposition to this tax. Don't hold community nonprofits hostage to partisan bickering; repeal the nonprofit transportation tax immediately."
Tweet your Representative and Senators to deliver this simple message: ".[Representative/Senator's Twitter Handle] Your community nonprofits and your constituents we serve are counting on you; repeal the nonprofit transportation tax immediately."

Wholesaler A.F. Blakemore Reports 'Strong Sales' Over Christmas
January 24, 2022 8:38 AM By Steve Wynne-Jones
Wholesaler and distributor A.F. Blakemore has reported a 18% increase in sales over the four weeks to 2 January, in what it says was a 'strong' Christmas sales performance.
The group said that the additional capacity at its new distribution centre in Bedford left it 'well-positioned' to meet strong customer demand.
'Challenging Operating Period'
"Much of the sector had forecast a challenging operating period, with predictions of supply chain failures impacting availability and the ongoing COVID pandemic affecting staffing levels," commented Peter Blakemore, A.F. Blakemore group chairman.
"Without doubt, COVID continues to impede colleague availability, however by investing and putting importance on our people capability, it has enabled us to continue to operate as normal despite COVID related absenteeism, which were similar to peak pandemic levels."
According to the company, in order to manage stock effectively over the Christmas period, tactical stock builds, centralisation of supply and backhaul were required.
"With our highest recorded case volume on New Year's Eve and a forecasted 20% increase in sales by the end of the financial year, we need suppliers to invest in mitigating these issues to improve availability," Blakemore added.
Management Changes
The group has also announced a number of management changes, with group managing directors Geoff Hallam and Jerry Marwood set to retire, at the end of financial year 2022 and in May 2023 respectively.
Following Hallam's departure, Marwood is to take over group CEO responsibilities, implementing a succession plan for when he too departs in 2023.
"The coming months will see further senior appointments as we structure our business in line with our long-term strategy," Blakemore added.

This Q&A discusses the potential impact of disease management programs as a means to addressing escalating Medicaid costs.
Question: My state is considering undertaking a disease management program to address escalating Medicaid costs. I=m not sure what to make of it. Will it help my Medicaid clients?
Answer: Disease management does offer promise of better access to appropriate health care services to Medicaid beneficiaries with chronic illnesses, especially those in fee-for-service who do not usually receive care coordination of their complicated diseases. Initial results indicate minor cost savings and some improvement in health outcomes, making unclear the exact impact of disease management on Medicaid beneficiaries.
Today, approximately 125 million people suffer from at least one chronic disease. About 16 million Medicaid recipients in the country suffer from one or more chronic conditions. The most common chronic diseases in the U.S. are asthma, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and HIV/AIDS.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind Is Here with a New Take on Our Favorite Open World RPG
June 7, 2017 By Janet Vasquez Leave a Comment
Bethesda has just released The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind
STATES CHRONICLE – Yesterday, Bethesda released the long-awaited The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowing. The new version of the game switches from the single-player RPG take of The Elder Scrolls 3 to an MMO style, so certain players might find it peculiar at the beginning. However, Bethesda assures them it was worth the wait.
Bringing back the Morrowind atmosphere
This new take on the open world RPG has everybody excited, as Morrowind is regarded as the favorite game in the series by many players. It might not have the advanced graphics or gameplay of other titles released later, but it charms everybody with its setting. The bizarre world where warriors live in mushrooms and giant shells manages to keep us constantly engaged in the game.
The main quest of Morrowind also contributes to the charm of the title. It successfully combines the gameplay and setting, asking the player to explore the entire continent and become the embodiment of an ancient hero.
Will the new game reach all the expectations?
All of these had a feeling which many failed to find in other Elder Scrolls titles, and they hoped Bethesda would bring back this depth. It might not have happened with an entirely new game in the series, but the online version of Morrowind is here to feed our nostalgia.
However, some players have their doubts. They want the same feeling back, but coated into a new atmosphere and gameplay. Now, they fear The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind will bring back the same RPG experience converted into an MMO.
Bethesda wanted to assure players they won't be disappointed. Apart from the multiplayer option, they will also be allowed to opt for single player, in case they want to roam Vvardenfell by themselves and discover new adventures without any intrusion. Let's hope that the game will meet their expectations and acquire the same popularity as the other titles in the series.


Our gourmet Meyer Lemon Olive Oil is one of most popular items. Meyer lemons are a cross between oranges and lemons, creating a sweet flavor with less of a bite than regular lemons. Drizzle on fish fillets before you bake or broil. Also excellent on salads, vegetables and in marinades. Lemon chicken will never be the same!
Meyer Lemon Olive Oil pairs wonderfully with our Mandarin Orange Balsamic or Raspberry Balsamic for an out of this World salad dressing.


Victory in warfare still relies on the individual warfighter and the available personal weapons, equipment, and training.
Despite the advancements have been made concerning the battlefield, the infantryman remains at the center of the war machine. From spear and bronze shield to automatic weapon and Kevlar body armor, a force advances and retreats based on what the individual warfighter can accomplish within the working unit - and the warfighter is only as good as the equipment, training, support, and leadership available to him/her. The following categories cover the history of infantry weapons and related small arms as far back as the 1700s, running through modern systems and up to those possible weapons of a future battlefield.
Our Small Arms section currently boasts over 1,150 individual entries covering all manner of infantry-related weapons including firearms, mortars, grenades and the like - from the early Colt and Remington revolvers and Mauser service rifles to future Warfighter-centric concepts and abandoned prototypes - all can be found within the pages of this site.

Das Gedankenexperiment von der Raumfahrer-Vervielfältigung stammt aus dem Aufsatz On the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion der US-amerikanischen Philosophin Mary Anne Warren aus dem Jahr 1973 und soll der Klärung dienen, ob potenzielle Personen denselben moralischen Status haben wie tatsächlich existierende.

Gedankenexperiment im Wortlaut
Nimm an, dass unser Raumfahrer in die Hände einer Alienkultur fällt. Die dortigen Wissenschaftler entscheiden, mehrere 100.000 Menschen zu schaffen, indem sie dessen Körper in seine Bestandteile zerlegen. Diese nutzen sie, um vollständig entwickelte Menschen zu schaffen, natürlich mit dem dazugehörigen menschlichen DNA-Code. Wir stellen uns vor, dass diese Menschen alle Fähigkeiten und das Wissen des ursprünglichen Mannes besitzen. Außerdem haben sie ein Selbstbewusstsein, kurzum ist jeder dieser Menschen eine bona fide Person, wenn auch nicht einzigartig. Das Projekt soll nur Sekunden dauern und der Raumfahrer soll darüber Bescheid wissen. Er weiß auch, dass die Chancen sehr gut stehen, dass es ein Erfolg wird und dass die Menschen später gerecht behandelt werden.

Philosophischer Gehalt

Im Zentrum des vorliegenden Gedankenexperiments, das im Aufsatz zudem von einem weiteren begleitet wird, steht der Gedanke, dass der moralische Status einer existierenden Person immer mehr Gewicht habe als derjenige einer potenziellen Person. Warren überträgt diese Intuition auf die Debatte um Abtreibungen und folgert, dass auch dort der Schwangeren als bereits existierenden Person immer der Vorzug vor dem Fötus zu gewähren sei. Demgegenüber wird von konservativen Positionen u. a. das Potentialitätsargument vorgebracht, wonach bereits die Tatsache, dass ein Mensch entstehen könnte (bzw. unter geeigneten Bedingungen auch wahrscheinlich entsteht), für die Schutzwürde des Fötus spreche.

Eleven Facts About Titanic
Did you know that the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic could have ended right after it began? That some of her four funnels were not functional? That she did... 04.04.2012, Sputnik International

Did you know that the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic could have ended right after it began? That some of her four funnels were not functional? That she did not have enough lifeboats for all the passengers? That the lookouts did not have binoculars? That the iceberg the ship collided with was "black"? These and other facts have been confirmed by investigators as well as surviving passengers and crew.
1) Several very wealthy persons – Titanic's owner John Pierpont Morgan, Lord William James Pirrie, chairman of Harland and Wolff, which built the Titanic, and Mr. and Mrs. Alfred W. Vanderbilt – planned to board the Titanic on her maiden voyage but changed their minds.
2) As the Titanic was leaving port on April 10, 1912, it barely escaped a collision with an American liner, the New York.
3) The British investigative commission found out that the lookouts in the crow's nest, the observation point atop the mainmast 30 meters above the deck, did not have binoculars. Someone had simply forgotten to place them on the ship.
4) The Titanic sent out two international distress signals, CQD and SOS, one of the first cases in history of a ship sending a SOS signal.
5) Only the first three of its steam funnels were in operation. The fourth funnel served as an exhaust ventilator unconnected with the furnaces. It is also believed that the funnel had been added to make the ship look more impressive and sturdier.
6) The Titanic had only enough lifeboats for 1,178 people, while there were 2,207 on board. Under the British Merchant Shipping Act 1894, it was a ship's tonnage that dictated total lifeboat capacity. The biggest ships at the time had a displacement of about 10,000 tons as compared with the Titanic's 46,000.
7) Only 706 people survived the Titanic disaster even though her lifeboats had seats for 1,178. The explanation is that some boats were overcrowded while others left half-empty.
8) Before 1985, when an expedition under Robert Ballard found the wreck of the Titanic in the Atlantic, there were differing views as to whether the ship had broken up during the sinking. Ballard discovered that the ship had indeed broken up, which explains the deafening crash heard by survivors in life-boats.
9) There were no red emergency flares on board the Titanic. Her white flares were not taken seriously by ships using the same route, which may have contributed to the high death toll.
10) The Titanic was not christened in accordance with the old naval tradition of smashing a bottle of champagne on her side. The White Star Line never christened its ships.
11) The Titanic collided with a so-called "black" iceberg that had only recently overturned in the water. The dark color made it hard to discern. Normally the chances of spotting such icebergs at sea are minimal, and the Titanic was no exception.
