"A Perfect Father's Day" by Eve Bunting looks like a fun (and funny) book. Dad's having a nice relaxing day when his daughter decides to make Father's Day perfect by taking him to do all of his "favorite" things.
"I Love My Daddy" by Sebastien Braun looks really sweet and simple, talking all about what Daddy's do for their kids to show they love them.
"Froggy's Day with Dad" by Jonathan London is definitely on our list because we really like all the Froggy books.
"Because Your Daddy Loves You" by Andrew Clements is a book I want to read over and over. Not necessarily for the kids, but to remind myself as a parent how to react when shoes get lost and messes are made. Plus the pictures are super cute.
"Hooray for Dads!" with Spongebob MUST be read and reread, because we love all things Spongebob.
"How to Talk to Dads" by Alec Greven looks interesting. I don't know if it's one my younger kids will like, but judging from the description I think the rest of us are thoroughly going to enjoy it.
"Arthur and the 1001 Dads" by Marc Brown includes another one of our favorite characters, and Arthur books are always perfect to have my eight year old read to his younger siblings.
I think these books will really put us in daddy-appreciation mode, or at the very least keep us happily entertained for awhile.

Laura Yaeger Appointed Leadership Role in Risperdal Litigation
Firm News | Oct 3, 2014
Morgan & Morgan is proud to announce that complex litigation attorney Laura V. Yaeger has been appointed as a member of the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee in the California litigation surrounding the antipsychotic drug Risperdal According to the lawsuits, Risperdal's manufacturer failed to adequately warn patients about the serious side effects associated with its drug, specifically a medical condition that causes young boys and men to develop breasts, known as gynecomastia.
"On September 5, 2014, I was appointed to the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee," Yaeger said. "It is an honor. This appointment positions our firm in an ideal position to protect the rights of our clients."
California Superior Judge William F. Highberger, who is overseeing the cases, appointed Yaeger and 13 additional attorneys to serve as members of the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee (PSC) for the remainder of the litigation. As a member of the PSC, Yaeger will coordinate pretrial proceedings, such as discovery and hearings, where she will examine witnesses, produce evidence and review motions.
"Currently, we are focusing on two litigation fronts: one in Philadelphia and the other in California," Yaeger said. "Presently, in the Philadelphia litigation, hundreds of cases are pending. The court holds regular status conferences to handle discovery and scheduling issues. The California litigation is in its beginning stages."
In California, hundreds of boys injured by Risperdal have filed cases, Yaeger said. In these lawsuits, the plaintiffs allege that Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceuticals, which manufactures Risperdal, failed to adequately warn patients about the risk of developing gynecomastia after taking the drug. Not only is the condition embarrassing, but it may also be permanent and require surgical intervention to correct, according to the plaintiffs.
Furthermore, these lawsuits allege that Janssen promoted Risperdal for off-label uses, such as the treatment of schizophrenia in adolescents. While Risperdal was approved for this use in 2007, Janssen allegedly promoted the drug for adolescent treatment long before its approval through an extensive "ghost writing" campaign. According to the plaintiffs, Janssen allegedly hired medical professionals to write positive articles about Risperdal that touted its efficacy for unapproved uses and then published these articles under the names of unaffiliated doctors to appear as if they were unbiased.
Yaeger and the other complex litigation team members at Morgan & Morgan continue to review potential lawsuits on behalf of patients who took Risperdal or Invega and developed gynecomastia.

Pope Francis Appoints UK Bishop Known for Criticizing Traditional Liturgy As Head of the Congregation for Divine Worship
Coming hard on the heels of rumours of abrogation of SP, the appointment of an avowed enemy of the TLM bodes no good for Traditionalists!
From LifeSiteNews
By Michael Haynes
VATICAN CITY, May 27, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis appointed Archbishop Arthur Roche as the new Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments (CDW), replacing Cardinal Robert Sarah and potentially ushering in a new era of active opposition to the Extraordinary Form of the Mass.
Commenting on Twitter earlier today, Deacon Nick Donnelly described the appointment as posing a "real and present danger" to Summorum Pontificum.
The press release from the Holy See, issued May 27, announced the news of Roche's appointment, alongside that of the new Secretary and under-Secretary of the Congregation.
Archbishop Roche, formerly bishop of Leeds, U.K., served as Secretary of the Congregation from 2012 through this year, having been appointed to it by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
Roche previously served as bishop of Leeds from 2004 through 2012, and auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Westminster from 2001 through 2002, under Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor.
Commenting on the news, CNA Europe editor Luke Coppen wrote that Roche's appointment demonstrated the level of influence that was enjoyed by Cardinal O'Connor, who was one of the group of clerics dubbed the "St. Gallen mafia," a group that wished to radically change the Church and make it "much more modern."
Roche is joined by Bishop Vittoria Francesco Viola, O.F.M., of Tortona as the new Secretary of the Congregation and Monsignor Aurelio Garćia Marćias, the current Head of Office of the Congregation since 2016, as the new under-Secretary, raising him to the episcopate at the same time.
Roche set to lead a new-look CDW
The appointment of Roche comes in light of fears that Pope Francis is about to restrict the celebration of the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite (also referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass, or the Tridentine Mass). Reports have emerged in recent days stating that Francis has spoken to the Italian Bishops Conference, telling them that he has finished the third draft of a document that will restrict the offering of the Extraordinary Form.
Vatican journalist Diane Montagna announced today that Messa in Latino, the original source of the news, had confirmed to her that the information was trustworthy and had come to them from three bishops and two high ranking members of the Roman Curia, who were all present at the event.
Indeed, Pope Francis recently initiated a peculiar investigation into the CDW. Archbishop Roche sought to downplay the news, but Rome sources confirmed to LifeSiteNews at the time that it was far from a regular event. Italian newspaper Il Messagero has called it a "decidedly unusual extraordinary act personally ordered by the Pope to 'straighten out' the Congregation of Divine Worship."
Given that it came shortly after the announcement of new restrictions being placed on celebrating the traditional Mass in the Vatican, the news has led to speculation that it is part of an effort by Francis to remove from the Congregation those members who are more sympathetic the traditional Latin liturgy and its theology.
Roche's history on the Latin Mass and Vatican II
Various commentators have noted that Archbishop Roche has taken action several times to limit the celebration of the traditional Catholic liturgy.
Following Pope Benedict XVI's Summorum Pontificum, which gave priests permission to offer the traditional Mass without seeking permission from their bishop, Roche swiftly declared that the power of the bishops to prevent the Latin Mass was still in effect, and issued guidelines on the matter.
In 2020, he penned a letter to the bishops of the world attacking the traditional Mass and praising the Second Vatican Council's paradigm shift in its view of the Church, hailing the fact that the Council had removed the notion of the Church as a "perfect society and a world power to be contended with," and instead was viewed as "constantly open to reform and conversion."
The 71-year-old prelate styled the new rite of the Mass, the Novus Ordo, as the "good fruit from the tree of the Church." He called it an "ecclesiastical duty" to implement the Novus Ordo, criticizing how the Extraordinary Form did not promote the community celebration by the laity, and how the Extraordinary Form had "the priest alone as celebrant."
Roche called the Novus Ordo missal of Paul VI "a witness to unchanging faith and uninterrupted tradition."
He also strongly advocated the community celebration over the priestly celebration, condemning the so-called "passive" role played by the congregation at the Traditional Latin Mass.
The Novus Ordo was a result of the "dawning consciousness" that moved away from the "solely clerical version of the liturgy," wrote Roche.
However, traditional theologians have warned of the dangers of such language around community celebration, warning of a blurring of the lines between priest and people. In his work on the liturgy, The Destruction of the Roman Rite, Don Leone warns that with this teaching, "the congregation no longer unites itself spiritually with the unfathomable mysteries of the Mass, but usurps the functions of the clergy."
Indeed, in his encyclical Mediator Dei, Pope Pius XII warned of the dangers of Roche's view, describing as erroneous the position that "they look on the eucharistic sacrifice as a 'concelebration' in the literal meaning of that term and consider it more fitting that priests should 'concelebrate' with the people present than that they should offer the sacrifice privately when the people are absent."
The "good fruit," which Roche proclaims, has previously been described by liturgy expert Dr. Peter Kwasniewski as responsible for diminishing belief in the Real Presence. Kwasniewski stated that the "liturgical reform cruelly diminished" the liturgical gestures of love and reverence for the Blessed Sacrament, "and introduced other practices, now habitual to the point of being immovable, that suggest we are dealing with common food and drink."
Commenting on Roche's 2020 letter, Una Voce Scotland described it as "a feeble attack on the Extraordinary Form of the Mass."
Aside from promoting the new style of liturgy, Archbishop Roche has also declared that Vatican II, described as "pastoral" in the opening address of John XXIII, was in fact of far greater weight, perhaps even than any council before.
"The Second Vatican Council for the first time ever solemnly proclaimed a body of doctrine on the Church which is now part of the Church's Magisterium," Roche wrote in February 2020.
Roche and Holy Communion
While acting as Secretary for the CDW, Roche gave his name to a controversial letter sent from the CDW, which supported a U.S. bishop in his decision to ban the faithful from receiving Holy Communion on the tongue during the COVID-19 disruption.
"As has already been enunciated in the circular letter of Card. Robert Sarah of August 15, 2020, and approved for publication by His Holiness Pope Francis, 'in times of difficulty (e.g., wars, pandemics), Bishops and Episcopal Conferences can give provisional norms which must be obeyed', even clearly, as in this case, to suspend for whatever time might be required, reception of Holy Communion on the tongue at the public celebration of the Holy Mass," the letter states.
While missing the all-important signature of Cardinal Sarah, the letter bore the signature of Archbishop Roche instead.
As reported by LifeSiteNews at the time, Roche's letter contradicted a 2009 letter from the same Congregation regarding the same question in the midst of the H1N1 influenza pandemic. At that time, the Vatican under Pope Benedict, wrote that Church law on the subject stipulates, "each of the faithful always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue" and that it may not be abrogated.
Furthermore, Roche was acting in violation of the 2004 instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum, which holds that "each of the faithful always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue."
Speaking to LifeSiteNews at the time, Kwasniewski mentioned that Roche's letter "undermines the universal norms and tradition of the Church, reiterated many times, concerning the most appropriate and reverent manner for receiving the Holy Eucharist."
A new era of anti-traditionalism in the Vatican
With the appointment of Archbishop Roche to head the CDW, the Vatican appears set to begin a renewed campaign against the traditional movement in the Church.
The upcoming Vatican conference, entitled "For a fundamental theology of the priesthood," due to take place in early 2022, is also set to discuss one of Roche's key interests - the relationship between the ordained priesthood and the priesthood of the faithful. It is expected by many that the conference may well further undermine traditional teaching regarding the sacrament of holy orders, clerical celibacy, and female deacons.
The conference will take place with the Church is in the midst of Pope Francis's newly announced Church-wide two-year synod on synodality, following the German example of the synodal church, which has been described by concerned traditional Catholics as "Vatican III."
Noting his concerns to LifeSiteNews, Kwasniewski called the upcoming "Vatican III" a "continual submersion in bureaucracy, a surrender to the modern mentality of administration as the cure for all evils, which keeps the Church busy gazing at its navel while real evangelization withers and the pews empty out."
Speaking to LifeSiteNews, Deacon Donnelly, a U.K. author and catechist, commented on the danger that Roche's position posed for the celebration of the traditional liturgy by many clergy.
"Archbishop Arthur Roche's appointment as the Church's top liturgist is bad news for those who love the Latin Mass. His recent essay defending the Roman Missal of Pope Paul VI, sent to all the world's bishops, is a negative caricature of the Latin Mass," Donnelly told LifeSiteNews.
"He repeats propaganda that the laity had been reduced to a state of unengaged passivity," continued Donnelly.
"If only he'd read 'The Small Person's Mass Book' written by Cecily Hallack in 1932. It reveals the depth of 'active, conscious, pious participation' expected even of pre-First Holy Communion children in the Mass, let alone the richness of the conscious engagement expected from the adults. Cardinal Sarah appreciated this truth, clearly Archbishop Roche doesn't."

82% of LIPA Customers Lost Power During Sandy
Will the scale of outages create a clamor for a smarter grid?
Katherine Tweed October 31, 2012
Katherine Tweed
Before Hurricane Sandy slammed into southern New Jersey, taking out power from Virginia to Maine, some utilities warned that power could take at least seven to ten days to restore.
In Long Island, it could be far more. A new outage management system currently being installed was no match for Sandy, which left 82 percent of Long Island Power Authority customers without power, affecting more than 920,000 at its peak. The storm took the dubious distinction of the worst power outage in terms of numbers in LIPA's history, a title that was previously held by Hurricane Gloria in 1985, which caused 850,000 outages.
Currently, about 100,000 customers have had power restored -- but that still leaves nearly 850,000 customers in the dark. LIPA reports that crews are repairing the "backbone" of the grid, including high-voltage power lines and damaged substations.
Although a state-of-the-art OMS, waterproof distribution switches or self-healing feeders could have maybe minimized some damage, the scope of the storm would still have devastating consequence.
Over all there were more than 8 million people without power because of Sandy. That figure has been reduced by nearly 2 million already, with New Jersey and Pennsylvania making the most progress. For New Jersey, that still leaves more than half of the state's electricity customers without power.
It will be weeks and maybe longer before utilities can tease out whether any technologies, rather than just old-fashioned tree trimming, allowed them to restore power faster to customers. But with 8 million customers -- which means far more individuals -- without power, public utility commissions should be asking hard questions about investing in smart grid technologies or distributed generation resources that could ease the restoration process.
For politicians in New York, there are already cries that there must be a new way of doing business when 100-year storms come every few years, as Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York, said as the storm raged across his state.
"There has been a series of extreme weather incidents," Cuomo said on Tuesday. "That is not a political statement; that is a factual statement. Anyone who says there's not a dramatic change in weather patterns is denying reality."

One ticket good for a five-day pass to see The Woman Who Loves Giraffes. Your purchase supports the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.
Directed by Alison Reid
In 1956, four years before Jane Goodall ventured into the world of chimpanzees and seven years before Dian Fossey left to work with mountain gorillas, 23-year-old biologist Anne Innis Dagg made an unprecedented solo journey to South Africa to study giraffes in the wild. When she returned home a year later, the insurmountable barriers she faced as a female scientist proved hard to overcome. In THE WOMAN WHO LOVES GIRAFFES, Anne (now 86) retraces her steps, offering an intimate window into her life as a young woman, juxtaposed with a first-hand look at the devastating reality that giraffes are facing today. Anne and the species she loves have each experienced triumphs as well as setbacks. THE WOMAN WHO LOVES GIRAFFES gives us a moving perspective on both.
"This warm documentary uses one woman's singular passion to fuel a tale of zoological discovery, blatant sexism and environmental alarm."
- Jeannette Catsoulis, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"INSPIRING... A bright spot in the middle of this dark month, Alison Reid's unabashedly sincere documentary offers gentle comfort even when it brushes up against tough subjects."
- Elizabeth Weitzman, THE WRAP
"Her research was groundbreaking, and the 16 millimeter color footage she shot at the time, amply displayed in the documentary, is breathtaking."
- Peter Rainer, THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
"Alison Reid's loving documentary affectionately celebrates little-known giraffologist Dr. Anne Innis Dagg's groundbreaking scientific work and generous contributions to women's equality."
- Tomris Laffly, VARIETY
"A uniquely captivating hybrid of a movie."
- David Lamble, THE BAY AREA REPORTER
"An inspiring documentary that should be at the top of everyone's list of must-see films."
- THE ALLIANCE OF WOMEN FILM JOURNALISTS

PA RELOCATION LAWS IN CHILD CUSTODY
CHILD CUSTODY RELOCATION LAWS IN PENNSYLVANIA
Our Lancaster/York PA Child Custody Attorney, Justin C. Gearty Jr., Esquire, recently handled a case where his client was permitted to leave the state with the minor child. Attorney Gearty represent the mother in this case.
In this case, the mother had lived in the York PA area with the father of the child. She had no other family or friends in the area and was originally from up-state New York. The relationship between her and the father eventually fell apart leaving her nowhere to go in the York area. She ended up leaving the home and moving back to New York, which was about a seven hour drive from York PA. Shortly after she left, the father filed a child custody action in the York County Court of Common Pleas. An initial custody conciliation conference was scheduled and the mother showed up without an attorney. Following this conference, the court entered an order giving the parties shared physical and legal custody of the child. This order resulted in the child being with the father for two weeks and then with the mother for two weeks (the child was not of school age yet). The mother then retained our Child Custody Lawyer, Justin C. Gearty Jr., Esquire. Attorney Gearty appeared on her behalf at the pre-trial conference. Following the pre-trial conference we prepared a Gruber Memo, which is a case that deals with custody relocation issues. Attorney Gearty then began preparing the case for trial and represented the mother at trial. After the court heard all of the evidence, the court awarded the mother majority physical custody and the court approved her relocation. Under this Order, the mother would have the child for the school year with short periods of visitation with the father and the father had summer break minus the mother's periods of vacation time.
Relocation in child custody cases can become complicated. The PA Child Custody Act has strict requirements that must be followed. The first requirement is that the parent that plans to relocate must send notice to the non-relocating parent. The Child Custody Act outlines the items that must be included in this notice, which includes but is not limited to: the address of the new residence, the new school district, the new phone number, the reason for the move, and a notice to the non-relocating parent that if the non-relocating parent doesn't respond, the court will approve the relocation. This notice must be sent via certified mail and must be sent at least 60 days prior to the proposed move. Along with the notice, a counter-affidavit must be provided to the non-relocating parent. If the other parent does not agree to the proposed relocation, he/she must then filed the counter-affidavit with the court. Once the counter-affidavit is filed with the court, an expedited hearing will be scheduled where the court will determine whether or not to approve the relocation.
The PA Child Custody Act outlines multiple factors that the court must consider when deciding whether or not to approve the proposed relocation. As with most child custody matters, the controlling issue is: what is in the best interest of the child. With that being the controlling interest, the court will consider how the proposed location will enhance the child's life. In addition to looking at how the relocation will benefit the child, the court will also look at the non-relocating parent's relationship with the child and the court need to consider whether alternative visitation arrangements can be made if the relocation was approved.

Q: Zoom-pan for ImageView from url Firstly, I want to say, that I am not strong at Android. I am trying to add zooming and panning to my application.
Here, I am using this tutorial to load my image from url and show it as ImageView.
http://www.androidhive.info/2012/07/android-loading-image-from-url-http/
I've found this tutorial: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/88b6e5/multi-touch-panning-pinch-zoom-image-view-in-android-using/ how to zoom and pan my image, but I don't really know, how I must change code from first tutorial, to get ImageView, which I could zoom and pan.
Can someone help me?

A: *

*Use the PhotoView from ChrisBanes for the pan and zoom functionality

*To load the image from a url into the PhotoView(ImageView) use the UniversalImageLoader library.

I have used them together in a couple of apps and they work great together :)

A: try this code..

Q: Restructuring a large Chrome Extension/WebApp I have a very complex Chrome Extension that has gotten too large to maintain in its current format.  I'd like to restructure it, but I'm 15 and this is the first webapp or extension of it's type I've built so I have no idea how to do it.
TL;DR: I have a large/complex webapp I'd like to restructure and I don't know how to do it. Should I follow my current restructure plan (below)? Does that sound like a good starting point, or is there a different approach that I'm missing? Should I not do any of the things I listed?
While it isn't relevant to the question, the actual code is on Github and the extension is on the webstore.
The basic structure is as follows:
index.html
<html>
    <head>
        <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <!-- This holds the main app styles -->
        <link href="css/widgets.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <!-- And this one holds widget styles -->
    </head>

    <body class="unloaded">
        <!-- Low-level base elements are "hardcoded" here, the unloaded class is used for transitions and is removed on load. i.e: -->

        <div class="tab-container" tabindex="-1">
            <!-- Tab nav -->
        </div>

        <!--
            Templates for all parts of the application and widgets are stored as elements here.
            I plan on changing these to <script> elements during the restructure since <template>'s need valid HTML.
        -->
        <template id="template.toolbar">
            <!-- Template content -->
        </template>

        <!-- Templates end -->

        <!-- Plugins -->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/plugins.js"></script>

        <!-- This contains the code for all widgets, I plan on moving this online and downloading as necessary soon. -->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/widgets.js"></script>

        <!-- This contains the main application JS. -->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/script.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

widgets.js

(initLog || (window.initLog = [])).push([new Date().getTime(), "A log is kept during page load so performance can be analyzed and errors pinpointed"]);

// Widgets are stored in an object and extended (with jQuery, but I'll probably switch to underscore if using Backbone) as necessary
var Widgets = {
    1: { // Widget ID, this is set here so widgets can be retreived by ID
        id: 1, // Widget ID again, this is used after the widget object is duplicated and detached
        size: 3, // Default size, medium in this case
        order: 1, // Order shown in "store"
        name: "Weather", // Widget name

iChrome.Search = function() {}; // Modules have a base init function and are camel-cased and capitalized

iChrome.Search.submit = function(val) {}; // Methods within modules are camel-cased and not capitalized

/*
  Extension storage is async and fetched at the beginning of plugins.js, it's then stored in a variable that iChrome.Storage processes.

  The fetcher checks to see if processStorage is defined, if it is it gets called, otherwise settings are left in iChromeConfig
*/
var processStorage = function() {
    iChrome.Storage(function() {
        iChrome.Templates(); // Templates are read from their elements and held in a cache

        iChrome(); // Init is called
    });

    processStorage();
}

Objectives of the restructure

*

*Memory usage:  Chrome apparently has a memory leak in extensions, they're trying to fix it but memory still keeps on getting increased every time the page is loaded.  The app also uses a lot on its own.

*Code readability: At this point I can't follow what's being called in the code. While rewriting the code I plan on properly commenting everything.

*Module interdependence: Right now modules call each other a lot, AFAIK that's not good at all since any change you make to one module could affect countless others.

*Fault tolerance: There's very little fault tolerance or error handling right now.  If a widget is causing the rest of the page to stop rendering the user should at least be able to remove it.

Speed is currently not an issue and I'd like to keep it that way.
How I think I should do it

*

*The restructure should be done using Backbone.js and events that call modules (i.e. on storage.loaded => init).

*Modules should each go in their own file, I'm thinking there should be a set of core files that all modules can rely on and call directly and everything else should be event based.

*Widget structure should be kept largely the same, but maybe they should also be split into their own files.

*AFAIK you can't load all templates in a folder, therefore they need to stay inline.

*Grunt should be used to merge all modules, plugins and widgets into one file.  Templates should also all be precompiled.

Question:
Should I follow my current restructure plan? Does that sound like a good starting point, or is there a different approach that I'm missing? Should I not do any of the things I listed?
Do applications written with Backbone tend to be more intensive (memory and speed) than ones written in Vanilla JS?
Also, can I expect to improve this with a proper restructure or is my current code about as good as can be expected?

A:
Memory usage: Chrome apparently has a memory leak in extensions, they're trying to fix it but memory still keeps on getting increased every time the page is loaded. The app also uses a lot on its own.

You need to define what "alot" is, and what "too much" is. Memory usage is only a problem when there isn't enough. Investigating memory problems has little to do with refactoring. You need to locate any offending code and plug the leak. If you know your code is leaking memory, than I would try to isolate the offending areas and go to stackoverflow.com to seek advise on fixing it.

Code readability: At this point I can't follow what's being called in the code. While rewriting the code I plan on properly commenting everything.

This is a very subjective issue. Code structure, source code comments and code readability are all matters of opinion.

Module interdependence: Right now modules call each other a lot, AFAIK that's not good at all since any change you make to one module could affect countless others.

Now this is where we can help you. There are multiple platforms and tools out there for Javascript developers to address these issues. There are also multiple design patterns that address these issues. There are package builders, code compilers and dependency injectors.
I use AngularJS with Google's Closure compiler. Angular gives me dependency injection, and closure gives me compile time warnings and packaging.
You'll have to decide what tools work for you. Trust me. It's a painful process to pick a tool.

Fault tolerance: There's very little fault tolerance or error handling right now. If a widget is causing the rest of the page to stop rendering the user should at least be able to remove it.

This is a high-level requirement. It's something to "keep in mind" when you are rewriting it.

Do applications written with Backbone tend to be more intensive (memory and speed) than ones written in Vanilla JS?

No. Backbone does not offer anything that addresses your specific issues. It's designed to be a light-weight library that offers you only a couple of base classes to mimic a MVC pattern. The developers wanted something that had a very light-weight foot-print. I don't think a Chrome extension needs to be light-weight. It's installed on the PC and runs local. You can afford to go with something heavier and offers a more robust framework.

Also, can I expect to improve this with a proper restructure or is my current code about as good as can be expected?

You've made some basic mistakes if fixed will greatly improve your time maintaining the code.
I could create a list of issues, but that's not the point of this answer.
What you want to learn is the building blocks of highly maintainable code.

*

*Have you put code into easy to locate files, or is everything in one big file?

*Can you tell by looking at your files what is "new untested code" and "old reliable code"?

*Can you test it?

*Does each file have a clear name and contain code that is clear of it's purpose.

*Is each file simple. Short and to the point.

*Are your functions written to prevent misuse.

The list goes on like that, but hopefully you get the idea.

GANT: Hearing Continued in DuBois Man's Robbery Case
CLEARFIELD, Pa. (GANT) – A DuBois man is facing charges for his involvement with allegedly robbing two juveniles in Clearfield Borough in early March.
(This article was provided by our News Partner GantDaily.com.)
Jarrod M. Gesin, 41, is charged by Clearfield Borough police with two counts each of robbery and conspiracy and criminal use of communications facility, all felonies, as well as simple assault, terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person, theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property, all misdemeanors.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, on March 8, Assistant Police Chief Nathan Curry returned a telephone call from a 16-year-old boy regarding a reported robbery that occurred in the East End area.
The victim agreed to detail the incident in a recorded interview at the police station. He arrived in the company of his mother and victim 2; his mother advised Curry it was okay for him to interview her son privately.
Prior to the interview, Curry learned the victim had picked up Jonathan Lippart of Harrisburg at the N&T Convenience Store on Bigler Avenue around 7:30 p.m. Another officer obtained a photograph of the suspect from the store's surveillance camera.
The victim was presented with the photograph and positively identified him as "Jonathan," as he knew him from SnapChat. He said he and his 17-year-old friend (victim 2) were in Clearfield, and saw Lippart was in need of a ride and would pay cash.
He showed Curry messages he'd exchanged with Lippart earlier in the day, indicating plans to pick him up. He said he pulled into the lot behind the store, Lippart exited and entered their vehicle. Lippart sat in the rear behind victim 2.
Lippart asked if they could also go pick up his friend in the 400 block of Hill Street Extension. Once at this address, Lippart's friend got in and sat in the rear behind him. The victim took the men to an address in the 600 block of Dorey Street.
The victim said he was directed to park as far left as possible in the parking lot because there was assigned parking spots. This, he said, was when Lippart's arm came up around his friend, victim 2, and Lippart began to tase him.
At the same time, he said he was grabbed from behind, and felt something "like a gun" touch his head. He put his hands up in the air and the men reportedly told the victims to give them "everything they got."
As this is happening, he said he picked up his wallet from the center console and handed it to one of the men in the backseat. He was also reportedly directed to hand over keys to the vehicle, which he did.
The two men got out with his wallet, car keys and victim 2's cell phone. The victims also got out, began to walk and formulate their next course of action. They went back to the car and spoke to a female outside the Dorey Street address.
She asked what they were doing there, and the victim told her they were looking for his keys. The female said she didn't see any keys lying around in the area, but a man came out with keys that were found outside the door.
The victim said he took the keys and left the parking lot with victim 2. Afterwards, he said he received a SnapChat message from Lippart, who allegedly stated: "hey young bull, no hard feelings … I'd think twice of coming at me.
"I'd kill everything in your crib down to your goldfish, bro with six, hood [expletives] with AKs. Don't try me. You got what you got, so move on and keep on living. Until next time."
Victim 2 corroborated his friend's (victim 1) report, adding the man who came outside with the keys appeared to be Lippart's friend. He said he was 75 percent sure because he was wearing the same clothes and had the car keys.
On March 9, Sgt. Daniel Podliski interviewed Lippart and asked him to detail the date in question. He said he was at a female's residence all day, and didn't leave until around midnight.
Then, he claimed he was the "casino," also known as the N&T Convenience Store, until 3 a.m., and when informed of the allegations against him, Lippart denied any involvement in the robbery.
Podliski confronted Lippart with surveillance that showed him at the store around 7 p.m., and he admitted to having been there, but said he didn't think it was that early in the evening.
Lippart went on to admit to having smoked to "self-medicate" and being dropped off there by two girls he'd just met. He said he left the store with someone he found a ride with.
Lippart described the front-seat passenger, which matched that of the 17-year-old juvenile (victim 2). Lippart said he didn't know the males and went up to them asking for a ride.
At this point, Podliski requested and received permission to review messages on Lippart's phone, which included an incriminating conversation with Gesin. Lippart claimed he thought the juveniles giving him a ride were going to "jump him."
When police went to the Hill Street Extension address to execute a search warrant for items related to the robbery, Gesin denied any involvement. It was learned Lippart had removed items from the residence and his whereabouts were unknown.
Gesin had his preliminary hearing continued Wednesday until 10 a.m. April 7 during centralized court. His bail is set at $100,000 monetary.


There wasn't one main reason. It's true I was frustrated, but we all go through that sometimes. My contract was up and I wasn't being used much. There was contact elsewhere and I was fed a world of goods. I had to make a decision that was best for me and my family. We all have to take chances in life and career and that's what I did.
That is something I will never truly know. I have my version of what I was put through, but a lot of people will say I just didn't have what it takes. It was never about a name or a character. It's the fact they would never let me go out and do what I do best. I had a number of people telling me a number of different things. I have enough confidence in my ability that I could have made something work. It made me hate wrestling and i needed to get out.
I would always welcome an opportunity to return. I think I have a lot more to offer. Many are calling for an AMW reunion, but truth is Storm is so successful in his singles run that it wouldn't make sense right now. It's all about right time and right place.
Chris also talks about the tag team division in TNA while he was there, his comeback in TNA in 2011, the direction TNA is going with Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan there and a lot more. The full interview can be seen here.

Dual fluidized bed (DFB) gasification of biomass generates numerous species with large differences in-size and boiling point. At the heavier (tar) end, the produced species range from benzene to coronene: In this work, a method for elucidating the pathways of tar evolution is, applied to previously presented measurements that satisfy the carbon, balance of the Chalmers 2-4-MW DFB gasifier. In addition to quantifying the cold gas and tar, the measurements yield information regarding the amount and C, O, H composition of unknown condensable species (UCS). The reaction pathways were identified by means of fitting a model to the performed measurements. The employed solver varies freely the reaction rate coefficients of three global reactions (mimicking dissociation and reactions with hydrogen and steam) per modeled group, as well as the carbon distribution coefficients within a predefined reaction scheme. The mature tar (excluding primary tar) spectrum is divided into phenols, furans, benzene, naphthalene, pyrene, and one-, two-, and three-ring aromatic components. In addition, UCS that are considered to contain primary tar are divided into four subgroups, to encompass two levels of reactivity with varying composition. Ultimately, the solver converges, yielding a reaction scheme that is based on the findings of earlier works and that describes the creation of mature tar from UCS. Furthermore, the importance of individual reaction routes is discerned for the pertinent measurements. Thus, it is demonstrated that the maturation of secondary tar species (e.g., toluene and phenol) is not in itself sufficient to describe the formation of the tar spectrum.

Bangladesh: Cooking for a Community
Photo: Sébastien Duijndam for Action Against Hunger, Bangladesh
Each day, children patiently line up for a hot meal in Kutupalong Camp, Cox Bazar, Bangladesh. While they wait they laugh amongst themselves, practicing their English skills and reciting the alphabet, knowing food will be served soon when a volunteer leads them in songs about good hygiene practices – clapping their freshly washed hands along with the beat.
These children are just a small portion of the more than 900,000 displaced Rohingya men, women, and children who escaped to Bangladesh last year from the increasing levels of violence and persecution in their homeland of Rakhine State, Myanmar. Action Against Hunger has been present in Bangladesh since the first wave of displaced Rohingya arrived, and with a team of more than 1,300 staff and volunteers, now manages 10 community kitchens serving 11,000 hot meals a day.
Photo: Abdul Hachim serving children lunch. Sébastien Duijndam for Action Against Hunger, Bangladesh
One of the community chefs is Abdul Hachim, a young man who escaped the violence in Myanmar with his pregnant wife and their two daughters. Every day, Abdul and his co-chef, along with 15 volunteers, prepare and serve meals for the most vulnerable displaced people, including pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, children under five years old, people with disabilities, and the elderly. In this role, Abdul earns a salary to support his family, and he continues to work in an environment he enjoys.
In Myanmar, Abdul and his family were considered middle class; Abdul owned a grocery store, his father was a doctor, and one of his brothers was a pharmacist. Together, they would frequently volunteer to cook "Guru Gusto"- a dish with spiced meat and potatoes- for their village during Mezban, a term that means "host" and refers to community events and celebrations such as the birth of a child, a wedding, or a funeral. "We cooked because it makes us happy to serve our community and give them this food at such an important time", Abdul explains. When the surge in violence began however, Abdul's family, his parents, his eight siblings and their families, and the rest of their village all had to flee.
"At the beginning, I never thought I would end up in Bangladesh. We were just running away from a certain death. We hid away for four days in the forest. It was difficult for the mothers and the children, and then we finally crossed the border. My wife suffered a lot. She was pregnant, and so tired and hungry that she could not breastfeed out one-year- old daughter. People died on the way. When we arrived here, we were so many that there were not enough services for all of us. My children became sick with malnutrition, but they are much better now."
Today, Abdul and his family are scattered throughout the camp, no longer living together; "As soon as a shelter became available, one of us would go and settle in. It wasn't a choice to be separated from each other, but a necessity."
When we spoke to Abdul he was working on preparing one of the hot meals for the day: chicken with rice and dhal, a lentil side dish.
Cinammon
Chili spices
In a hot oiled pan, stir the garlic and onion
Add the spices and salt to the pan
Once the onions are soft, add the chicken
Cover the chicken in water, this creates a flavourful broth
Cook until meat is tender, approx. 30 – 60 mins
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dhal:
Softly fry onion, garlic, ginger, spices in oil
Add the lentils, stir together before adding water
Boil the lentils until cooked
Serve with rice.

If you'd like to get involved, consider donating towards our #Brownbagit campaign. Instead of ordering lunch, make one of the suggested recipes from our website, you could even make Abdul's recipe for chicken and dhal! Donate what you normally would spend on ordering lunch to Action Against Hunger, and support our teams in the field to deliver much needed aid and support.
