AARP is offering its Driver Safety Class on Saturday, Nov. 17, from 10 to 2. The four-hour class is designed for drivers who are age 50 and older. The class covers normal changes in vision, hearing and drivers' reaction times based on aging. There are no written or road tests. Participants may check with their insurance carriers to see if discounts are offered as a result of the course being taken. Registration is required. The fee is $15 for AARP members; $20 for non-members.
Children who are independent readers get to share their reading skills with ROAR (Ridgefield Operation Animal Rescue) dogs in the Tales to Tails program on Saturday, Nov. 17, from 11 to noon. The pups are gentle therapy dogs, therefore they sit quietly as the children read aloud to them. Reading aloud builds children's skills and helps them to perhaps acquire a lifelong love of reading. Children must be independent readers to participate. Registration is required.
Poets gather
People who love writing poetry are invited to the CT Poetry Society Workshop on Saturday, Nov. 17, from 2 to 4:30. In this intimate group of no more than 15, people share their original poetry with each other. Registration is required; there is no charge.
Music to their ears
Children ages 5 and up are treated to a hands-on STEAM-oriented workshop with The Science of Sound on Saturday, Nov. 17, from 3 to 4, in which the kids will explore the basic principles of sound. This knowledge will then be applied to understanding how string instruments work by handling and exploring a real violin, viola, and cello — all in a fun, interactive environment. Instructor Seray Goktekin's musical career spans 20 years with formal education in classical violin performance, music theory, and aural studies from the Manhattan School of Music. Please see the library's registration link for details. Registration is required. The program is supported by the Amadeo Family.
Politics Hollywood-style
The New Perspectives Film Series explores Poliwood on Saturday, Nov. 17, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The film by Oscar-winning director, Barry Levinson, documents the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions and looks at the way Hollywood celebrity and political activism have become entwined. The suggested donation is $5. Refreshments will be available. A Q&A will follow the film. Registration is highly recommended.

Leaning Tower of Pisa
The architecture
Apart from its extremely famous inclination that really seems to defy the laws of statics, the Tower of the Cathedral is a very unusual building and one of a kind, because of the high historical and artistic value of its forms and because of its peculiar location, within that vast and equally unique area that is the Piazza dei Miracoli. The building is located far from the Cathedral, between the apsidal area and the south-eastern section of the transept of the Cathedral. This is an unusual location â€" usually, a tower would be erected near the façade or along one side of the church â€" although this is not the only case, as it can be found in other complexes in town and in other Italian buildings.
In this case, however, it has an unusual value and reasons, because of its distance from the other monuments of Piazza dei Miracoli.
With its remarkable height, for which it was also used as a veritable visual focus, with its slim body, the Tower was in fact perfectly visible from every part of the square and probably also from the river Arno, so it acted as a connection between the city and the square, located in a suburban area of the city, and as a beacon, a landmark and a lookout, and finally as an authoritative symbol of the civic and religious pride of the local community.
The problem of the inclination is the one that over the centuries has most fascinated and intrigued visitors, art lovers and experts and that has made this monument so famous all over the world.
All this is also due to the fact that the reasons for the inclination of the building are still fairly mysterious.
The experts have discussed for a long time, especially in the last century, whether such inclination might be due to the static problems of the building while it was built, in other words whether the incline of the Tower was an effect that the builder had deliberately wanted to achieve or if conversely it was the consequence of an unpredictable or otherwise progressive subsidence of the ground.
In the last century, the increasingly accurate measurements of the building and the surveys of the subsurface conducted with a wide range of devices, combined with historical and archival surveys, have shed some light on the matter. The Tower was presumably initially designed as a straight building; however, it must have begun to subside right from the first stages of the building work. The subsidence was due to the special morphological features of the ground, composed of several layers of clayey materials and silt, run through by groundwater levels at about one metre deep. These conclusions can be drawn from an observation of the soil, and the corrections made to every floor of the building. What is certain, based on the scarce information we have, is that over the centuries the oscillation of the building was minimal, since it must have eventually settled on the ground. This situation is corroborated by the accurate survey conducted in 1817 by two English experts, Cresy and Taylor. A few years later, in 1838, some event must have occurred which must have abruptly accelerated the oscillatory motion of the building, bringing back the need to carry out some decisive protective work. On that date, based on historical and aesthetic needs, it was decided that the bottom of the tower had to be cleared of the mantle of soil that had been hiding it for centuries. This work, that caused the Tower to lose its balance, involved the demolition of the buildings and constructions that stood next to the Tower and above all the draining of the brackish water that always surrounded the entrance of the building. The subsequent measurements showed that the inclination of the Tower had increased by approximately 20 centimetres: in the 267 years between Giorgio Vasari´s surveys in 1550 and those of the two Englishmen in 1817, the inclination had increased by just five centimetres. The leaning movement kept accelerating for a few years after the work of 1838, then decreased again to about one millimetre a year. During the XX century, better information and improved technical instruments, along with the support of governmental and safety authorities, led to a proliferation of studies, surveys and even special projects.
The measurements of the Tower
The monument is 58.36 metres high at the foundation and over 55 metres above ground. Its weight has been calculated at 14,453 tons. The centre of gravity is 22.6 metres above the foundation plane. The outer diameter of the foundation measures 19.58 metres; the central hole is 4.5 metres wide. The area of the ring-shaped foundation covers therefore 285 square metres; the average pressure on the ground is 497 kPa. The current inclination is approximately 5,5°, i.e. approximately 10%; the eccentricity of the loads on the foundation plane is 2.3 metres.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Walk Like A Giant
Psychedelic Pill is the thirty-fifth studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young. It was released on October 30, 2012. This is the second release of a Neil Young collaboration with Crazy Horse in 2012, and their first original work together since the Greendale album and tour in 2003 and 2004.
At 87 minutes, "Psychedelic Pill" is Neil Young's longest album and only studio album to span two discs. Many of the songs on the album came out of extended jam sessions with Crazy Horse after "Americana" was recorded. The opening track "Driftin' Back" makes references to Young's new memoir "Waging Heavy Peace" and his disdain for MP3s in between extended jamming. Another of the album's epic tracks, "Walk Like a Giant" laments how his generation was unable to change the world ("We were ready to save the world / But then the weather changed.") Elsewhere on the album he recalls listening to Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" and The Grateful Dead on the radio ("Twisted Road"), and his Canadian roots ("Born in Ontario"). The Rolling Stone review noted that the riff and lyrics of the album's title track share similarities with Young's previous work such as "Cinnamon Girl". The main riff is borrowed from Young's "Sign of Love". That track also features the recording being filtered with a "phaser" effect, giving it a "psychedelic" feel (although the alternate mix removes the effect).
Overall, "Psychedelic Pill" is a pretty good record, it has the Neil Young honesty and it will take years to figure it out.
Todays tune "Walk Like A Giant" is the first video from Neil Young & Crazy Horse's new album "Psychedelic Pill"

Swaledale, IA Interesting the guys looking for experienced help. I was looking for that kind of work this winter as we rented out our ground and I have always run the planter, newer equipment with all the bells and whistles, and did all the spraying with a rogator for 1500 acres. I found only 2 guys that expressed any interest more than just a part time spring and fall job. One never did get around to discussing actual wages and the other offered fair wages for only a short time of long hours with the possibility of more hours later. Also I was an experienced CDL A driver. I ended up with a trucking company hauling freight while being home every weekend and almost every evening driving a nearly new Freightliner. While I probably have a better, steadier job with this company I would rather have stayed running farm equipment.


CAMPBELL, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 30, 2006 -- Focus Enhancements, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCSE) today announced it has obtained $10 million in gross proceeds through the issuance of Senior Secured Convertible Notes to private investors. The Notes carry a maturity date of January 1, 2011 and are convertible into Focus Enhancements common stock at a price of $1.00 per share at any time. The Notes are being issued directly to the investors without placement agent fees or commissions.
"This convertible note financing significantly strengthens our working capital position as we begin 2006 and near the completion of a key strategic product development in commercializing our Talaria™ Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology," said Brett Moyer, president and chief executive officer of Focus Enhancements. "At present, we expect this financing will enable us to complete our UWB development effort and fund general operating requirements to support our expected revenue growth of over 30 percent in 2006. This growth will be driven by the introduction of multiple new products as well as new and expanding customer relationships in our Semiconductor and Systems Businesses."
The Senior Secured Convertible Notes are secured by all of the company's assets and carry a 10 percent coupon interest rate per annum, payable semi-annually. The company can pay the first three interest payments in cash or, if there is no default, by the issuance of additional Notes for the amount of interest; all other payments are payable in cash. In addition, the Notes are redeemable at the company's option at a price of 102 percent of the face amount plus accrued interest upon 30 days' notice.
The securities subject to issuance under the described $10 million funding will not be registered when initially issued under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The company has agreed to file a registration statement covering public re-sales of shares issuable on conversion of the Notes within 90 days of closing.
Focus Enhancements also announced preliminary results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005. Revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005 is expected to be approximately $6.0 million, which is below the company's previous fourth quarter revenue outlook of approximately $7.5 million. The company expects to report a fourth quarter 2005 loss per share of approximately $0.05, which is a smaller loss per share than its previous guidance of a loss of $0.06 to $0.07 per share.
"Although timing issues impacted shipments of a new HD FireStore™ product to one of our key Systems Business partners and a new digital signage opportunity during the quarter, we delayed expenses and reduced our loss below previous expectations," stated Moyer. "We delivered double-digit revenue growth in 2005 compared to fourth quarter and full-year 2004, with expected fourth quarter 2005 revenue of $6.0 million up approximately 17 percent compared to fourth quarter 2004 and the full-year 2005 revenue of approximately $24.5 million up 22 percent over 2004."
Moyer also noted the company's Semiconductor customer base had changed from 2004 to 2005 and as a result was less dependent on one major customer. "Total revenue for the full year 2004 was $20.0 million of which shipments of the company's FS454 semiconductor chip, which were primarily to Microsoft Corporation for use in its Xbox®, represented approximately 10 percent of total revenue in 2004 and 54 percent of Semiconductor revenue. In January 2004, Microsoft ceased placing significant orders for the FS454. Since then, Focus Enhancements has significantly diversified its customer base."
These expected results are preliminary and unaudited. There can be no assurance that the company's final results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2005 will be within the ranges specified above. Final results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2005 are expected to be reported in early March, at which time management will conduct a conference call. The date and time of the conference call will be announced in advance.
"Building upon momentum in 2005, we expect 2006 revenue growth to exceed 30 percent for the year. Specifically, we expect first half 2006 revenue to grow in our Semiconductor Business due to increased sales of chips for Personal Media Players (PMP), resulting from our strong showing at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas where our FS45X Series of Video Processors was on display in products from 12 manufacturers, including Toshiba's Gigabeat, DigiCube's i-Station PMPs, Biostar, Sage, Tatung, and Elitegroup Computer Systems. We also anticipate the completion of our Talaria UWB technology for sampling and initial shipments for commercial deployment to customers. In the Systems Business, sales of our FireStore product line are anticipated to increase as we begin shipments of two new HD FireStore products, the DR-HD100 to JVC and the FS-100 to Panasonic for use with its new HD camcorders. In addition, we expect to begin shipping digital signage products for installation to a major financial institution in the first half of 2006," added Moyer.

Единство сознания — философская концепция, согласно которой в основе явлений сознания лежит единая субстанция, не состоящая из частей и потому нематериальная. В разных философских учениях эта субстанция может называться нашим «я», душой или духом. Основным аргументом в пользу её существования служит тот факт, что множество явлений сознания воспринимается нами как одно целое, в то время как сами явления существуют по отдельности. Из этого делается вывод, что кроме явлений, в нас существует и нечто иное, что, само не будучи явлением, соединяет их между собой. Учение о единстве сознания, как правило, используется в качестве одного из доказательств нематериальности и бессмертия души.

История вопроса

Плотин. Вопрос о единстве сознания обсуждался ещё в античной философии. С наибольшей ясностью эта мысль была высказана Плотином, который в трактате «О бессмертии души» утверждал: то, в чём сходятся восприятия от органов чувств, должно быть единым, подобно центру окружности, в котором сходятся радиусы. Если бы этого не было, радиусы не могли бы сойтись или сходились в нескольких точках, что нарушило бы цельность восприятия. В таком случае мы не могли бы воспринимать сложных предметов и, например, вместо человеческого лица видели бы только отдельные его черты. Но если восприятие едино, то тем более едино и мышление. Если же и восприятие, и мышление едины, они не могут принадлежать телу, так как всякое тело делимо до бесконечности.

Лейбниц. В Новое время идею единства сознания развивал Лейбниц, создавший учение о монадах — простых неделимых субстанциях. По мнению Лейбница, тела не являются субстанциями, так как не представляют собой настоящего единства. Тело есть лишь агрегат или собрание, подобное стаду овец или пруду с рыбой; его видимое единство создаётся лишь нашим восприятием и мышлением. Образец подлинного единства мы находим только в собственной душе, которая в каждом восприятии обнимает множество предметов. Восприятие есть не что иное, как представление многого в едином, и даже самая ничтожная мысль объемлет какое-нибудь многообразие. Отсюда следует, что именно душа является подлинной субстанцией, и всякая подлинная субстанция должна быть подобна нашей душе. Эти-то подлинные субстанции, подобные нашей душе, Лейбниц и назвал монадами (от греческого μονάς — «единица»). Одним из следствий этого учения была идея бессмертия души: монады, полагал Лейбниц, не возникают и не уничтожаются, так как не имеют частей, на которые могли бы распасться; поэтому и душа не рождается и не умирает, а лишь испытывает различные превращения.

Тейхмюллер. Одним из последователей Лейбница в 19 веке был немецкий философ-персоналист . В своей книге «Бессмертие души» он подверг критике материалистическое воззрение на душу, как на функцию клеток мозга. Единство функции, утверждал Тейхмюллер, предполагает единство субстанции, в которой она совершается. Поэтому душу нельзя уподобить концерту, исполняемому множеством музыкантов:

Концерт существует только для слушателей, картина для зрителей. Куда девалась бы гармония, если бы одна и та же субстанция, воспринимающая один звук, не слышала и другого? Где было бы понимание слова, если бы все звуки не были соединены и сведены к единству смысла одним и тем же слушающим? Как бы наслаждаться картиною, если бы все различные впечатления красок не соединялись в одном и том же зрителе в единый образ?

Простейшим доказательством единства души, полагал Тейхмюллер, является факт суждения. Всякое суждение, составляемое нашим умом, предполагает наличие единого субъекта, связывающего воедино два или более понятий. В суждении эти понятия расположены не рядом друг с другом, но друг в друге, что было бы невозможно, если бы субъект состоял из внеположных друг другу частей. Следовательно, субъектом суждения не может быть ни наше тело, состоящее из множества органов, ни наш мозг, состоящий из бесчисленного количества клеток, каждая из которых, в свою очередь, делится на огромное количество атомов. Таким субъектом мог бы быть только отдельный атом, при условии, если бы этот атом не был материальным, ибо всё материальное делимо на части. Душевная жизнь, требующая постоянного сравнения понятий, может совершаться только в простой, неделимой на части и потому нематериальной субстанции. Эта-то субстанция и есть наша душа.

Лев Лопатин. Русский философ-спиритуалист Л. М. Лопатин полагал, что лучшим доказательством единства сознания является факт психического синтеза. Когда мы воспринимаем какой-либо сложный предмет, например, яблоко, мы воспринимаем его как некое целое. Однако данные физиологии свидетельствуют, что для образования представления яблока необходимо возбуждение различных участков мозга, находящихся порой на большом расстоянии друг от друга. Так, для возникновения ощущения цвета яболока необходимо возбуждение одних нервных центров, для возникновения ощущения его запаха — других, вкуса — третьих, твёрдости — четвёртых и т. д. Восприятие яблока как целого есть результат сложного взаимодействия этих центров. Спрашивается: где же и в чём же эти разрозненные ощущения соединяются в одно целое? Для наглядности увеличим масштаб и представим человеческий мозг в размерах Солнечной системы. В таком случае может оказаться, что зрительное ощущение явится в области, соответствующей нашей Земле, обонятельное возникнет от него на расстоянии Юпитера, а осязательное — на расстоянии Меркурия. И каждое из этих ощущений непременно останется на своём месте, будучи привязано к тому особому движению мозга, которое его породило. Каким же образом эти обособленные психические состояния узнают друг о друге, сойдутся и сольются в одно целое? Ответить на этот вопрос, полагал Лопатин, можно только отказавшись от материалистической трактовки сознания и предположив, что в основе душевных явлений лежит особая нематериальная субстанция.

Сергей Аскольдов. Наиболее подробно идея единства сознания раскрыта в трудах русского философа С. А. Аскольдова. Этой теме посвящены его книга «Сознание как целое» и статья «Я, в философии» в Энциклопедическом словаре Брокгауза и Ефрона.

По мнению Аскольдова, единство сознания занимает уникальное положение среди всех единств, наблюдаемых в природе. Вещи, данные нам в ощущениях, только мыслятся нами в качестве единых, в действительности же представляют собой лишь множество отдельных, ничего не знающих друг о друге элементов. Все элементы нашего опыта, хотя бы и смежные в пространстве и времени, абсолютно чужды друг другу, и только кто-то другой видит их в одном ряду. Когда мы говорим «одно дерево», «одна куча песка», это «одно» в них всегда обнаруживается в виде той или иной пространственной формы, которая сама по себе представляет чистое множество частей: точек, линий, поверхностей. Только в нашем восприятии эти части сливаются в нечто одно, вызывающее в нашем сознании один акт внимания. Напротив, в нашем сознании не кто-то другой, а само оно переживает и усматривает заключённую в нём множественность.

Лишь в сознании множественность и одно не исключают друг друга, а сосуществуют, являясь как бы вложенными одно в другое. Именно поэтому сознание заслуживает название единства, т. е. чего-то единящего в себе множественное. В отличие от этого кажущиеся и действительные элементы внешнего опыта заслуживают лишь названия единиц.

Наиболее ярким свидетельством единства сознания, полагал Аскольдов, являются акты оценки, сравнения или выбора того или иного содержания. «Иметь в виду», «оценивать», «сравнивать», «выбирать» может лишь что-то одно, в котором присутствует то многое, на что направлена оценка или выбор. Эти функции не могут быть выполнены отдельными элементами, каждый из которых знает только собственное содержание и не может вникать в содержание других. Множество содержаний может быть сопоставлено и охвачено только тем, что, оценивая сущность каждого, не теряет при этом своего единства. Это одно открывается нашему сознанию в нашем «я».

Единство сознания, настаивал Аскольдов, не может иметь материалистического объяснения. Клетки, молекулы, атомы, составляющие наше тело, представляют собой ещё более сепаратную множественность, чем элементы сознания. Песчинки, находящиеся в одной куче песка, не менее чужды друг другу, чем рассеянные на огромном расстоянии. То же можно сказать и про элементы человеческого тела, в каких бы сложных пространственно-временных отношениях они ни находились. Тело обладает лишь внешним формальным единством, подобно куче песка или часовому механизму; но и это формальное единство привносится в него человеческим созерцанием и мышлением. Подлинное же единство состоит в фактическом нахождении множества в единой проникающей его сущности.

However, Toriyama changed some of his characteristics to be more original. Goku is introduced as an odd, monkey-tailed boy who practices martial arts and possesses superhuman strength. As the story unfolds, he is actually revealed to be from a fictional race of extraterrestrials called Saiyans, said to be the strongest warriors within the fictional universe.

Sarah's Rags: THE BIG PINK AND ORANGE AND BROWN WAVY LINE RUG IS ACTUALLY FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BIG PINK AND ORANGE AND BROWN WAVY LINE RUG IS ACTUALLY FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This shows you what I have done on the back. After poking all ends to the front (using a bodger) and trimming the whole rug, I ironed fusible interfacing to the whole back surface. I trimmed the allowance round the edges of the canvas to roughly the same all round, 2-3 inches, and glued it down with Everbuild Stick2 Instant Spray Contact Adhesive All Purpose High Strength Bond. It is a very easy to apply spray. I considered latex but decided against it, on the grounds that our climate is essentially damp and latex backing does not breathe well.
Then I pinned, basted and sewed strong petersham binding to a piece of canvas cut to size, a couple of inches shorter and wider than the finished rug size. That's the zigzag line you can see on this picture. I didn't bother to use co-ordinating yarn, I just used what was on my sewing machine. Then I glued this backing canvas piece to the back of my rug: first I rolled it into a sausage, then unrolled it gluing it down a few inches at a time, stamping it down with my knees as I went along. This was fun.
Lastly I whipstitched the petersham binding to keep it all together. There are a few daggy bits of thread on the back and some of my basting thread won't come out because I didn't bother to pull out the basting thread before using the GLUE, soddit! This final bit of sewing hurt. It was tough on my hands, my fingers got very sore on the canvas and I was quite bad tempered with Dan when he asked if I was going to bed yet.
Below is the FINISHED ARTICLE.
One handmade hooked rag rug.
Materials: hessian canvas and recycled cotton textiles.
I am WELL PLEASED. Now what do I do with it?
PS I have turned part of our top floor landing into my sewing area. This is the first time I've ever had a dedicated sewing space. For sewing to be enjoyable, it helps if there is a place you can retreat to for a few minutes at a time without worrying about tidying up and such.
Just read your step by step description of how you finished the rug off which are very useful - I've sometimes used latex which is messy, smelly and makes the rug very heavy!
Thanks Ruth - I would never have persevered without your encouragement!
just wonderful!! how did your parents like them??

Q: How to break eslint or webpack build if any component has imported data from ./Stories/* folder We have a React/TS project which bacame too big. In this project we use eslint (airbnb) and StoryBook.
Our components structure is:

*

*/Stories <-- folder for StoryBook

*/Helpers <-- getters and setters

*/Languages <-- i18n and translation

*Component.tsx

We'd like to have a way to create a custom rule for eslint to thrown an error if import contains Stories in file name or break the webpack build and throw an error if for an accident we import a fake method from /Strories/* folder into the Component.tsx (rather than importing from /Helpers/*).
The eslint would work fine for us as we run the lint command before the build in DevOps pipeline.
Thanks a lot.

There isn't a day that goes by that I do not draw from the LIM program! Its greatest strength is the way the program incorporates both theology and ministry into every course. While I learned a great deal about Catholic theology and Ignatian spirituality, I also learned how to apply this knowledge practically.

Q: Rebinding a variable not working inside a for loop I'm trying to write a loop that iterates a number of times, which also updates a variable in Rust.
fn get_next(input: &[u8]) -> (u8, &[u8]) {
    (input[0], &input[1..])
}

fn main() {
    let slice: &[u8] = &vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
    for _ in 0..4 {
        let (mynum, slice) = get_next(slice);
        println!("Here's mynum {} slice {:?}", mynum, slice);
    }
}

Code is on the Rust Playground.
This is the output:
Here's mynum 1 slice [2, 3, 4]
Here's mynum 1 slice [2, 3, 4]
Here's mynum 1 slice [2, 3, 4]
Here's mynum 1 slice [2, 3, 4]

I would expect the slice variable to be changed each time to point to the next sub slice. How can I get the slice variable to be updated?
This is a minimum example, if I really were iterating over u8's in a slice, I'd do it differently.

A: You're defining a new variable that shadows the outer one. Perhaps:
let mut slice: &[u8] = &vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
for _ in 0..4 {
    let (mynum, slice_) = get_next(slice);
    slice = slice_;
    println!("Here's mynum {} slice {:?}", mynum, slice);
}

Barcelona starlet Ansu Fati's dad reveals he rejected offer from Real Madrid
Ansu Fati, who at 16 years and 298 days became the second-youngest player in Barcelona's history on Sunday, is highly rated by the club
Ansu Fati became Barcelona's second-youngest player at 16 years and 298 days after making his debut in the 5-2 thrashing of Real Betis on Sunday - and his proud dad has revealed how he could have been playing for Real Madrid instead.
Antoine Griezmann responded to the challenge laid down by coach Ernesto Valverde with a brilliant display as Barcelona came from behind to secure a much-needed win.
Valverde was also able to give fans a glimpse of the Barca of tomorrow as Fati became the club's second-youngest player late on.
And Bori Fati revealed that fierce rivals Madrid approached the player, with the club offering a better financial package than Barca, but they preferred the project at the Nou Camp.

He told RAC1 : "I had an offer from Madrid for a lot of money, but Albert Puig came and told me that they were Barca and that they had a project.
"That in a few years I would see him there. We know he works but we couldn't imagine that he would be playing with these beasts. Training with Pique."
The proud father also revealed the moment he found out his son, who plays as a forward, was going to make his debut in front of a blockbuster Nou Camp crowd.

"My cell phone was silent and I didn't find out. Then he called his mother and said, 'Mom, I'm going with the first team.' I jumped, I couldn't believe it...", he added.
Barca went into the game without the injured trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele and found themselves a goal down early on, but Griezmann equalised shortly before half-time and curled in a superb second early in the second half which had Suarez and Messi beaming their approval.
Carles Perez and Jordi Alba made sure of the points before Griezmann set up substitute Arturo Vidal for the fifth.


An Italian man and his son were at the helm of a Europe-wide French counterfeit wine operation, which had produced at least 400 fake bottles of a prestigious Burgundy Pinot Noir.
The pair were nabbed by detectives on October 16th, after a year-long pursuit in France, Britain, Germany, the Netherlands and Cyprus, according to French radio Europe 1.
The scam had netted the fraudsters €2 million in profit ($2.73 million).
The duo behind the operation aimed high, it seems, when chosing which wine to fake, targeting Romanée-Conti.
At a Christie's auction in Geneva in May 2011, an American collector paid a staggering €87,000 ($119,000) for a single bottle of Romanée-Conti dating from 1945, a mythical vintage to wine-lovers, because a freezing spring that year yielded only a fraction of the usual output."

CHOP, with the addition of rituximab for B cell lymphomas, remains the standard chemotherapy for many non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
R-CHOP is given 3 weekly for 6-8 cycles, with an initial reassessment after 3-4 cycles.
Rituximab - Infusional adverse effects are common during the first dose but uncommon thereafter. The first infusion is started slowly and increased according to tolerability (Rituximab 375 protocol). The second and subsequent infusion is given more quickly (as per Rituximab Rapid protocol) if the first infusion was not complicated by a severe reaction.
Note: A prescription sheet for the R-CHOP protocol is available. You must print it out and use it for the prescriptions to be faxed to Baxter's via Pharmacy. If Rituximab is given, then this precedes chemotherapy.
Antiemetics - see Cytotoxic Schedules and Choice of Antiemetics.
Cardiac toxicity - see Anthracyclines and cardio-toxicity in drug chapter, for full information. Doxorubicin may occasionally (about 1 in 200 risk) cause cardio-toxicity at any dose level, especially if pre-existing cardiac disease is present. For "normal" patients, cardio-toxicity becomes a significant risk when a total dose of 450 mg/m2 has been reached. The figure is lower at 350 mg/m2 for patients with cardiac disease, hypertension, age > 70, and those who have had mediastinal irradiation. A pre-treatment echo is essential. See Salz, T., et al. (2017). "Preexisting Cardiovascular Risk and Subsequent Heart Failure Among Non-Hogkin Lymphoma Survivors." Journal of Clinical Oncology 35(34):3837-3843.
Haematological toxicity - neutropenia is most marked at day 10-12 and is grade 3/4 (ANC <1.0) in a third. Severe anaemia or thrombocytopenia occurs in <5%.
Neutropenic sepsis - Patients are at approximately 20% risk of neutropenic sepsis from R-CHOP21. Where the risk is increased due to patient specific factors (e.g. patient > 65 years), prescribe pegylated G-CSF, 6 mg once on day 4. A special authority number should be obtained which is lifelong. Secondary prophylaxis should be administered in any patient who has had a prior neutropenic sepsis. Special authority criteria for use of G-CSF to prevent neutropenic sepsis are according to Aapro, M. S., J. Bohlius, et al. (2011). "2010 update of EORTC guidelines for the use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor to reduce the incidence of chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia in adult patients with lymphoproliferative disorders and solid tumours." Eur J Cancer 47(1): 8-32.
For all the salvage and alternative protocols described below, the risk of neutropenic sepsis is at least as high as in R-CHOP21, and these protocols require routine primary prophylaxis with G-CSF support for all patients, irrespective of age or other risk factors.
Other toxicity - alopecia occurs in two thirds of patients. Neurotoxicity (due to vincristine) occurs in 3-4%.

U.S. and China relations will take time to mend
Kenneth Rivlin
Victor Ho
Registered Foreign Lawyer, Cal
The arrival of Joe Biden in the White House will give the U.S. and China a chance to put their political and trade relations on a new footing.
But the complexities of the current relationship mean that it might take longer than one presidential term to achieve some kind of détente, if indeed that is possible.
Relations have soured dramatically during the Trump era.
But it is important to remember that some of the issues at stake, such as IP, technology and the desire to protect sensitive personal data, pre-date President Trump's tenure and it was always inevitable that they would rise to the surface at some point. They are now in full bloom.
Retaliatory trade wars
As the trade war between the two countries has intensified, we have seen both sides clash on a range of issues, such as:
capital market controls
export controls and sanctions
China, still intending to continue opening its economy, has matched the U.S. in implementing measures allowing it to retaliate. Recently, in the wake of the forced sale of TikTok, it set up its own sanctions regime and introduced tech export controls.
The new U.S. administration is expected to pursue, at least in terms of engagement and communication, a more conventional diplomatic approach.
Nevertheless, Biden still has to take account of a sizeable domestic constituency that is hawkish about China and the legacy positions of the Trump administration. The difficult fundamental issues over which the two countries have clashed will need hard negotiations to reach an understanding. In future it's unlikely, for instance, that will be any less scrupulous.
Three possible scenarios
We see three possible ways the relationship could develop in the coming years:
antagonistic rivalry escalates, with severe impact on the tech sector and the global economy
two countries enter a fragmented engagement, the most likely outcome in the short term
cooperation in areas of mutual concern (i.e. climate change)
Conflicts may continue in contentious areas and move into new sectors such as finance. But China's response would likely remain measured to protect foreign investment and pursue its long-term goal of moving from an export-orientated economy to a green, hi-tech and consumer-orientated one.
A Biden focus on developing a team of seasoned veterans to prioritise and concentrate on China will be crucial to setting the tone. From the appointments already announced, this approach seems to be playing out.
Implications for deals
The President-elect's determination to re-join the Paris climate accord and re-engage with the World Health Organisation are two areas where consensus may be found and are hopeful signs of a more multilateral approach.
Meanwhile, we expect Chinese outbound investors to become more active in the U.S., in non-contentious sectors that are likely to withstand Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) scrutiny, if a cooperative environment can be created.
China will also seek to continue attracting inbound investors as its economy transforms. Companies operating in different markets could be caught between the two giants, as we saw with the Huawei/5G scenario.
For those operating in Asia, securing supply chains is key. Singapore offers a centre to target Southeast Asian markets, and Hong Kong SAR acts as a gateway to Mainland China. Notwithstanding the potential for continued flare-ups, we expect a modest easing of U.S.-China tensions to create a more receptive deal environment in the short to medium term.
Worst case: antagonistic rivalry
accelerated decoupling and bifurcation
equivalent retaliation
multi-polar tension
Medium case: fragmented engagement
sustained tension over technology, IP and other sensitive areas
cooperation over areas of mutual interest
no comprehensive framework of cooperation
Best case: partial agreement and accommodation
active cooperation on shared global issues
compromise reached over difficult issues (technology and trade)

A trip through the Arab Spring, urbanization, technology, climate change and more.
When my now-4-year-old twins are sitting in their Amherst seminar on "Globalization at the Dawn of the 21st Century," they may well be assigned Frits van Paasschen '83's The Disruptors' Feast. This book takes readers on a tour through the big topics of the day: the Arab Spring, urbanization, technology, climate change and more.
The Disruptors' Feast is a Greatest Hits of popular thought leaders: Hans Rosling on global trend data, Clay Christensen and Richard Foster on disruptive innovation, Jared Diamond on the evolution of societies, and of course Thomas Friedman on the world being flat. Van Paasschen watched their TED talks and read their books so you don't have to.
Throughout The Disruptors' Feast, van Paasschen sprinkles in anecdotes from his time as CEO of Starwood and Coors, and before that as an executive at Nike, Disney, McKinsey and BCG. With an Amherst-worthy eye for character and detail, he shares vignettes from cities around the world and meetings with the Davos set: He brings us to Damascus for an evening feast of tabouleh and kebabs in the spacious home of a local real estate developer; we see the snow-capped Andes, slums in Mumbai and VIP lounges in China through his eyes.
I found myself hungry for van Paasschen to draw more deeply on his background to illustrate the global trends he describes. For many topics he mentions relevant data points from Starwood or another former employer; I wanted him to not just present the trend but walk me through his experience of it. What did you do about it? What did you get wrong? What did you learn?
Take climate change. Van Paasschen writes, "By the time I arrived at Coors in 2005, climate change no longer felt theoretical," citing how water usage was carefully monitored in Colorado. That would have been the perfect moment to discuss Coors' water efficiency initiatives: Today MillerCoors aims to reduce its water-to-beer ratio to 3:1, so it would have been fascinating to hear what, if any, conversations the company was having on the topic 10 years ago.
In the same chapter he says that "it is hard not to be concerned about employees at the more than 200 Starwood properties next to harbors and beaches." I then wanted to hear whether Starwood is shoring up or shutting down any of those properties or incorporating climate vulnerability into developing new ones, like so many companies planning for a hotter planet.
Similarly: He sees extreme poverty in Guinea, and says their construction partner there "brought in Turkish workers led by an American project manager"; he sees a man yelling at the edge of a hotel construction site in Libya because his land had been appropriated; and he notes gender discrimination in Saudi Arabia.
For me, those observations begged discussion of whether Starwood accepted the status quo or sought creative ways to abide by local laws and norms while advancing human rights, as an increasing number of companies are attempting to do. Van Paasschen positions himself as an observer of global trends—but CEOs play a critical role in shaping those trends. For a multinational corporation (and, frankly, for all of us), there is no such thing as neutrality.
The examples he does share are compelling: Taking inspiration from edX and the rise in online education, van Paasschen rolled out online training for Starwood's global workforce. Seeing that four of five new Starwood openings were projected to be outside of the United States, he temporarily relocated the company's global headquarters to Shanghai and then Dubai.
These are the kinds of firsthand case studies that I wanted to see more of—for van Paasschen to provide more answers to the book's subtitle that are uniquely his. Van Paasschen writes, "If we prepare ourselves and make the right choices, anything is possible." Connecting the dots between data, action and impact will enable that preparation and decision-making, and unlock a brighter future for us all.

This lot played one of the best gigs I was ever at when they were touring "Once Around The World". However, Frank Dunnery's ego having long ago floated him off to the States and the rest seemingly unable to cope with the loss, I'd filed them in the box marked "Failed early promise". But, much to my amazement, nearly twenty years later, with Bob Dalton and John Beck from the original line up, there's a new album! I got the early release of The Tall Ships from the band's website and it's good, pretty darned good in fact, for those of us with a taste for prog pop. So, £18 of your Earth pounds for a ticket and in a small venue (with the average age comfortably over 35) they crank out about 14 songs.
Oh My God and Ghosts from the new album opened the show. They get a reasonable reception from the crowd given that the album isn't available from mainstream retailers yet, All In Red gets the crowd shouting, that old warhorse Plastic Dreamer is trotted out once more, and then, lo and behold! an acoustic intermission with John Beck emerging from behind the keys to play some acoustic guitar alongside John Mitchell. They play a wee bit of Once Around The World and then most of Still Too Young To Remember, the only cut from Eat Me In St Louis. There's Never Go To Heaven, The Wind That Shakes The Barley, Screaming On The Beaches, Midnight and Great Disasters, all performed with great panache. There's a note perfect The Old Man And The Angel, Kiss Like Judas and Calling All The Heroes to close. Aficionados might have spotted a tiny piece of Vampires, but it was no more than a couple of bars welded into an outtro.
Summing up, Lee Pomeroy handled duties on bass and backing vox very capably. John Mitchell sang and played a blinder, but seemed more comfortable playing the old material than the material he co-wrote. Early days perhaps and to be sure, there is much potential. Shame they didn't play The Tall Ships or Lights from the new album but I'd certainly go to see them again on this evidence.


Alice, wife of one of my best friends (Bruce), has been a supporter of Stable Tables from the start. When I first started making tables, with no customers, and no one knew who I was, it was Alice who helped me with my first "show" at The Highlands Craft Show. She painted some table legs, and even came up with the name Stable Tables for me! Recently she published my new Web site. Throughout the years she has been a great customer, encourager, and friend. I thought it fitting to do my first blog ever about her...thanks for everything, Al!


The first song on "Lionheart," the debut solo album by out lesbian Americana singer H. C. McEntire, gets to the point pretty bluntly. "A Lamb, A Dove" mixes Christian and gay imagery repeatedly. She's obviously reclaiming the language of the religion, if not its substance, for women who have often been treated cruelly by it.
All the verses, however, end up with the "dove," to whom McEntire is singing, as her lover. And unlike many queer lyricists who avoid personal pronouns, she wrote "A Lamb, A Dove" as a song explicitly dedicated to a woman.
As she did with Mount Moriah, McEntire clearly sings with a Southern accent. On half of the album, her vocals and songwriting are backed with beautiful string arrangements, as on "One Great Thunder." "A Lamb, A Dove" begins with piano and gradually adds pedal steel guitar. "Wild Dogs" actually combines programmed drums and strings to a lovely effect. The vibe on "Lionheart" alternates between a Southern rock touch and mellower ballads.
Kicking off with "A Lamb, A Dove" is a deliberately confrontational touch, but "Lionheart" quickly abandons that. The rest of it is much lighter, on both Christian and lesbian references. "Dress in the Dark" seems to be addressed to a former lover who has become a junkie, something not entirely clear though McEntire sings, "I can only feel the marks winding around your arms." "One Great Thunder" devotes its sole four lines to death. But McEntire's lyrics are full of Southern flavor, evoking writers like Carson McCullers.
"Red Silo" muses, "back when this whole town smelled like tobacco/ back when we thought this would last forever." "Lionheart" consciously evokes a period when McEntire wouldn't have been made able to make this album as an out lesbian. The juxtaposition of imagery in "A Lamb, A Dove" makes a political statement that lies dormant but implicit in the rest of the album. As a result, it never seems like a nostalgia trip.
The issue of authenticity frequently and obviously comes up when white artists perform R&B and hip-hop. But it's also a sore spot in country music, where Canadian artist Colter Wall sings about working class life despite the fact that his father was the premiere of Saskatchewan and actor Kiefer Sutherland has made some dreadful forays into the genre.
If one has heard the corrosive guitars of Bellafea rip away, one would understand why McEntire now insists that the country and gospel elements of "Lionheart" really are her heritage. But it's also a chosen decision to state that lesbians have just as much right to play this style as conservative white men. And her skill as a singer/songwriter seems unquestionable to me, as does the quality of this album's production and arrangements.
"Lionheart" is being released by the label that brought the world Arcade Fire, who helped turn indie rock into a "genre" and whose performers could play arenas and win "Best Album of the Year" Grammys, but McEntire never sounds like she's slumming in country. I hope the audience that made Kacey Musgraves' "Follow Your Arrow," which explicitly said it's okay to be gay, a mainstream country hit a few years ago finds out about the existence of "Lionheart" and enjoys it.

Q: Is there a way to run two widgets at once in flutter with one layered on top of the other? I want the button to display on top of the GraphQL provider widget, and still be functional as it is going to be used for routing. I want both to run simultaneously(or as close as possible so it doesn't ruin the UI when loading).
I've tried running both of the widgets at the top but they do not run as I would like them to.
    void main() {
      runApp(LoginPage());
      runApp(Login());

    class LoginPage extends StatelessWidget

    class Login extends StatelessWidget

I thought the output would be the Login widget layered on top of LoginPage but it was just the Login widget expanded without the LoginPage widget running in the background.

A: From the runApp documentation:

Calling runApp again will detach the previous root widget from the screen and attach the given widget in its place.

And:

If you wish to align your widget to one side of the screen (e.g., the top), consider using the Align widget. If you wish to center your widget, you can also use the Center widget

So, as @Nae said in the comments, you can use Stack for that. Like:
Stack(
  children: <Widget>[
    LoginPage(),
    Login(),
  ]
)
