Apr 27, 2019 | Abbot's Notebook
A film released last year has caught my attention and it sounds well worth watching. Starring John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan, the movie is called "Stan and Ollie," and portrays events in the later careers of the outstanding comic duo of Stan Laurel, who lived from1890 to 1965, and Oliver Hardy who lived from1892 to 1957. Growing up in Portland, Oregon, in the 1950s and 60s, I enjoyed watching reruns on television of "Laurel and Hardy" films of the 1920s and 30s. The pair made over one hundred short and feature films and had numerous cameo roles in other movies. They were eventually replaced in popularity by other comic teams, such as Abbott and Costello. In time Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis took over the torch as well.
The dry humor, zany antics, perfect timing and witty dialogue of Laurel and Hardy helped lighten up many a rainy Sunday afternoon when I was a youngster. It should be said that the Laurel and Hardy routines were always clean cut and fun, many of them the constructions of Stan Laurel, and intentionally designed to be able to be "shown to a Sunday school class," as Laurel expressed it. In other words, it was appropriate and enjoyable material for all ages.
A personal link with Laurel and Hardy comes from my own family lore, specifically concerning Oliver Hardy. The connection is with my great-aunt Gertrude Greenwood, one of the twelve siblings of my maternal grandfather, Giles Alvin Greenwood. His sister Gertrude, from around the age of twenty-one, was a professed member of the Catholic Order of Sisters of Charity of Providence, and known in her religious community as "Sister Monica of Jesus."
Grandpa Greenwood's family was from Vancouver, Washington, and as a young woman Gertrude joined the Sisters of Providence and remained one of them for the rest of her life. I attended her golden jubilee of religious profession at the Motherhouse of her Congregation, Mount Saint Vincent, in Seattle, Washington, in the early 1970s. Not too many years after her fiftieth anniversary celebration, Sister Monica died.
As I was growing up in Portland, my family usually saw Sister Monica each year at the Greenwood family reunions, held each summer in Vancouver or Portland, the two cities just across the Columbia River from each other. Typically held at a public park, and on a Sunday in July or August, the family gatherings were composed of dozens of Greenwood relatives, including my parents, maternal grandparents, as well as aunts and uncles and their spouses, great-aunts and great-uncles and their spouses, nieces and nephews, grandchildren as well as cousins by the dozens, both first and second. We all enjoyed an afternoon together, which included a pot luck lunch and some form of games or sports after the meal, for all who wished to participate.
Since she didn't drive, Sister Monica was usually brought to the reunions by one of her brothers, having obtained necessary permission from her religious superiors to reconnect with her close and distant relatives for the annual Sunday picnic. Her arrival at the reunion always drew our attention. Looking like no one else at the picnic, in her distinctive full-length black and white habit of the Sisters of Providence, she greeted all with hugs and laughter. There were no modifications in her garb or a "casual look" for a family reunion, and everyone seemed to take that for granted.
The Sisters of Providence, the Order to which Sister Monica belonged, began in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in 1843, by Mother Emilie Gamelin, who lived from 1800 to 1851. The Order eventually established many apostolates, including hospitals and schools in the Pacific Northwest, especially in Alaska, Oregon and Washington, where Sister Monica had grown up and later joined the Order. They were and also are still present in California, Montana and other western states.
Sister Monica's community was composed of well-educated women, many of whom were teachers in grade and high schools, and also at colleges and universities. A lot of the sisters were nurses and hospital administrators. I was born in 1952 in a hospital run by the Sisters of Providence, called Saint Vincent's, which still exists, though in a greatly expanded form and in a different location in Portland.
Sister Monica Greenwood was among the nurses in her Order, assigned to various health care facilities in Washington, Oregon and California, until her retirement in the 1970s. The last place she worked was at Saint Peter Hospital in Olympia, Washington. During some of the 1950s, Sister Monica was assigned to Saint Joseph Hospital in Burbank, California, founded in 1943 and staffed by her sisters. Today the Burbank hospital is known as Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center.
All of this is leading up to the fact that among Sister Monica's patients at Saint Joseph Hospital in Burbank was Oliver Hardy. She had modestly shared this fact one time when my family stopped by to see her one summer in Burbank. We were making our annual family "pilgrimage" to Disneyland in nearby Anaheim, and took the opportunity to see Sister Monica at the Burbank hospital. Oliver Hardy died in 1957, so it must have been around then when we visited Sister Monica in Burbank. Hardy died in North Hollywood, but prior to his death he had received medical treatment under Sister Monica's care.
I often have wondered what great-aunt Monica and Oliver Hardy talked about while he was in Saint Joseph Hospital. Sister Monica had a great sense of humor, so I wouldn't be surprised if they joked and laughed. At least I hope that was the case. Coming nearer to death, might the comic Hardy have talked about faith and life after death? What impact did my great-aunt Monica have on "Babe," as Hardy was often called? I will never know the answers to those questions in this life, and that is fine. I do know that Sister Monica was an inspiration to me growing up and as an adult and a monk, and perhaps she inspired Oliver Hardy as well.

The aftermath that follows for fire damage cleaning in your home isn't pleasant or timely. If you are lucky enough to escape structural damage, you'll still be left needing to address all smoke and soot damage to your home. All smoke and soot residue needs to be removed from both interior and exterior walls and ceilings, throughout affected areas and additionally all odours lingering throughout the property.
In a recent job for fire damage cleaning in Evans Head's, a fire ignited by a front load washing machine burnt a downstairs area of client's laundry and bathroom. Throughout the entirety of the house, including upstairs bedroom floors were remnants of soot and smoke odor. Leaving a trail of fire damage throughout the rooms, the result requiring a full fire damage cleaning service. Using a number of different approaches and techniques, fire sponges and 'fire restore chemicals' were used to scrub walls and ceilings. Tiles, wooden floors, and carpets were cleaned with specialist floor wands and to combat smoke odors, a series of filtration systems were placed in affected areas throughout the whole house. The equipment for the filtration systems included air scrubbers, ozone machines, and hydroxyl generators.
The before and after shots highlight the large-scale fire damage cleaning carried by South QLD cleaning services which then allowed for later restoration of carpet, tiles, and painting necessary in affected areas.

Thank you for all that came, all that helped at our annual open house. The event went very well.
Racks are still full because we can bring out of the greenhouse. So if you didn't make it to open house NO worry plenty of plants are here. Have planting to do yet, but that is good because now I have room to have more planted.
Couple of gardening hints. When you plant carrots, mix radish seed with them. The radishes will be up and gone in 27 days, so that will help thin out the carrots and let you know where the carrots are planted.
The start of our 27th year of growing plants, and 31 years of selling. Looking forward to seeing you at the greenhouse.


The purpose of material handling equipment is pretty straightforward – to make material handling in commercial settings more convenient, more efficient and safer for the workers who are handling a broad range of products. Lifting heavy materials can take a toll on a person, which can result in serious injuries, followed by a sick leave and possibly getting sued. All of these things can leave your business financially strained, and employee satisfaction may drop significantly, which in turn can reduce productivity. A safe worker is a happy worker, and all managers have a duty to ensure their employees are safe from harm and happy with their jobs. For that reason, investing in material handling equipment such as trolleys, trucks and racking systems can be one of the most valuable long-term investments.
Trolleys are the most commonly used pieces of material handling equipment, and they come in various shapes and sizes. There are multi purpose trolleys that can be used for a wide range of applications and for handling a wide range of products, while there are also some application-specific models. I'd argue that most trolleys fall under the multi purpose trolleys category, as you can usually use them for at least a few applications. However, always follow the user's manual to ensure they're operated properly, and avoid exposing them to higher loads than recommended.
'Industrial trucks' is a broad term that's used to describe a wide range of equipment, such as forklifts and other transportation devices. Industrial trucks can lift manually or they can be electrically powered. Moreover, they can either be steered by human intervention or be completely automated. The automated models follow pre-defined tracks on the production floor, raised or sunken tracks, or there are coloured strips that are laid out and picked up by optical sensors. Additionally, these sensor-driven industrial trucks have anti-collision sensors that sense when an obstacle or an employee is near.
Lastly, storage material handling systems are there to help hold products and materials when not in use, or when waiting to get shipped or enter the production process. Racking, shelving and pallet systems all fall under this category, and they help employees store items safely, conveniently and orderly. Having a suitable pallet, racking or shelving systems can greatly increase production efficiency and optimize space usage. A properly optimized storage space will improve operation workflow, which will further increase efficiency.
There's a material handling equipment for every type of facility out there, and what you pick and how you put the entire system together will be the biggest difference maker when it comes to productivity, safety and efficiency.

When you use mobile marketing, you are allowing your adds to reach a brand new audience and introduce them to your products/services. Most consumers use mobile devices regularly. Examples of such devices include smartphones and tablets.

Instead of using shared short codes, purchase dedicated ones. The codes will be linked with your brand, even if the price is a bit steep. Eventually, users will associate your short code with your brand. Having your own short code can also help you avoid legal problems. There is a chance that you may also be held liable if a code sharing company does something wrong.

Do all the research you can on your audience. Before you make assumptions and put a lot of money into mobile marketing efforts, make sure you analyze your audience and their preferences. Do they use cellphones more than they use computers? Which OS do they use on their phones? If you understand your customers' needs, you will be better able to fulfill them.
Keep in mind that mobile customers will use a smartphone to view your website, and these people may have difficulty navigating. If your marketing website is easy to use, you will get a better response from people using mobile devices. Don't worry too much about how your site looks on a home computer. The important thing is keeping your site user friendly for both users.

I stared up at him, at those brown eyes filled with so much despair and pain. Kindred pain. Empathy for what I'd suffered, and yet, I didn't know hot to respond. Did I love him? How could I feel what I didn't understand? What I'd never felt before in my life? Perhaps it was instinct. A default setting in all human beings. We were born to love, until someone gave us reason to fear and hate.
If you've always wanted to try a dark romance but was afraid you wouldn't like it, I highly recommend Keri Lake's books. They're dark and twisty, filled to the brim with the author's own brand of romantic suspense that will keep you up at night, not out of fear, but because of a major book hangover. With Ballistic, the third novel in her Vigilantes series but the fourth overall release, Lake re-affirms her position as one of the most gift writers particularly of this genre. Just like the books before it, this can be read as a standalone, although I'm highly recommending that you read the books in order because there are appearances from past characters plus certain story lines that are connected. This is by no means an easy read, but you'll regret not reading it should you skip it.
At eighteen, Nicoleta's innocence is snatched away from her bit by agonizing bit by those who see her as nothing more than a commodity. Ten years her senior, Dax Wolfe has been searching for Nic and when they finally cross paths, there is simply no turning back as far as he's concerned. Rescuing her was his mission, but Nic has her own plans--ones that involve her gaining vengeance on those who have made her into the person that she is today. She knows nothing of love because hate and revenge are what course through her, however, Dax makes gives her a reason to pause, but is it enough of a pause to make Nic rethink her plans? Dax wants nothing more than to keep the woman that his body craves and his heart pines for safe, but Nic is courting trouble, and Dax may not be enough to put a stop to whatever--whomever--is gunning for her. When all is said and done, who will be left alive?

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Google are holding talks with gaming companies with the aim to create a new competiting social networking service to go head to head with the ever popular Facebook.
Google have been in discussions with the makers of online gaming which include Electronic Arts Inc's Playfish, Zynga Game Network Inc and Playdom Inc. There are as yet no details as to when this new service might launch.
Google have already dipped their toes into these waters before as they control social networking site Orkut.
Google are facing stiff opposition however as KitGuru reported earlier this week that Walt Disney are already in talks with Playdom for a possible takeover deal estimated to be worth around $600 million. This verifies the ties between 'casual' online gaming and social networking sites.
KitGuru says: Facebook are well established, any competitior to this service will have a tough climb ahead of them.

Project Bhasa
Project Bhasha is a comprehensive program which aims to localize Microsoft's flagship products, Windows and Office in 12 Indian Languages including Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Gurumukhi, Hindi, Kannada, Konkani, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Sindhi, Tamil and Telugu. This is designed as a collaborative programme for bringing together the governments, the academia and research institutions, the vendors and the industry associations on a common ground for backing local language computing. Under this program, Microsoft focuses its efforts along four key areas: product localisation, government collaboration, academia and developer integration and Bhasha Online Community portal. This portal aims at building a community of developers and linguists who will contribute towards the development and use of Indian languages for PC usage. There is no doubt that in a country like India; localisation will drive the next wave of computing by enabling access to technology for a broader section of society and thereby helping eliminate the current digital divide.
Besides helping to realise economic and social benefits, enabling the use of regional languages in technology can also facilitate the preservation of languages and cultures in an increasingly globalised world. With over 33 major languages and 1652 dialects, India is a nation of diverse traditions and languages. About 95 percent of the nation's population prefers working in their regional language – while just about five percent conducts its business in English. It is obvious that the disparity in language usage contributes to the digital divide.
Since 1998, when Microsoft India identified localization as a key catalyst for effecting ushering in an IT revolution, the company has been working on overcoming the language barrier to computing since. With local language support offered by Microsoft's Project Bhasa, governments will be able to accelerate IT literacy among the regional language speakers which can also become a means of accessing the services and schemes offered by the state.

SiyaBasScript
Sinhala language has been in use in computer technology since the late 1980s. However, as no standard character representation system was put in place from the beginning it resulted in proprietary character representation systems and fonts. Then the Unicode standard, which has the explicit aim of transcending the limitations of traditional character encodings, was introduced to Sinhala in 1998. But even now, some major websites in Sinhala have still not adopted the standard which causes lot of compatibility issues when viewed in different browsers and operating systems. SiyaBasScript is a Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome extension which can convert web sites with non-Unicode Sinhala fonts to Unicode. This means SiyaBasScript not only allows the hasslefree viewing of a numerous web pages but allows copying and pasting of earlier non-Unicode content
to Unicode enabled sites using browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. This allows quoting, referencing and sharing of content via Unicode enabled sites that was nearly impossible when they were available as non-Unicode content.
Although Unicode has been considered as the standard for creating and viewing Sinhala language content, some Sri Lankan websites including some famous news sites still create content in non-Unicode and misuse methods that are for styling webpages, to display Sinhala text in various other font-faces. Although users can get around the problem of missing font files by installing them in the computer or using embedded online font files, it causes unnecessary disruptions. SiyaBasScript extension solves the problem by converting that text to Sinhala Unicode. It will help to increase the content of World Wide Web in Sinhala Unicode, allowing a far easier standard of representing, searching, sorting and processing knowledge. This takes away the need of recommending or restricting users to certain browsers for viewing, editing and sharing localized content.

Ceylonmap.com
Ceylonmap.com is Sri Lanka's first and only interactive, multilingual internet-based mapping system of its kind. It is a comprehensive geographical database on the country which is freely accessible by everyone. It aims to provide an easier way of locating places and tourist attractions. This site helps the user know more about Sri Lanka, its provinces, municipalities, districts, villages, streets, government offices, prominent landmarks etc.
It is currently available in three languages-Sinhala, Tamil and English and allows the map to be printed for ease of use. Just by rolling the mouse over certain part of the map, the visitors can instantly get information about that area in terms of text, links and images. Clicking on such links, visitors can get more detailed information about that particular feature such as panoramic view of hotels, shopping malls etc. and their exact locations.
Interactive web-based maps have several advantages over the older, static maps. As they let the users manipulate and interact with the data on the map, an interactive map surpasses the functionality of any other mapping system. They also allow users to zoom and pan as they wish, plot any number of data points, highlight markers or areas and a whole lot more. Ceylonmap is an attempt to bring these benefits in a localized manner with culture- specific content to the citizens of Sri Lanka. Tourism promotion is also an expected advantage as besides tourist attractions, the site also gives information regarding bus routes (with their numbers and colours) as well as railway routes and time tables. Interestingly, the site also hosts an e-book on Sri Lanka's history from the time of King Vijaya to the contemporary times.

Bangla Calculator
Although a basic tool which has been in use the world over for several decades, the calculator had not reached a great number of people in Bangladesh. The main reason for this was that, being partially literate, they were not familiar with Roman numerals. Calculators do not only save time but also provide more reliable answers to problems, both when used in businesses as well as classrooms. With the Bangla Calculator innovation, the benefits of using calculators can reach even the rural people on Bangladesh. All the mathematical operations in this calculator are just like normal calculators, only the display is different. The user has the choice to either use Bengali numeral characters or normal Arabic numerals. Both type of characters are printed on the keys and the display can be switched between the two, as per need.
It has been often seen that local content has significant advantages over content produced for global consumption. Being locally produced it can be more responsive to local interests and needs and users feel more comfortable using and accessing content that has been locally produced.Closely related to the issue of local content creation is the use of language. Local language content is bound to derive a positive response as local people can then have access to it and this can also help to reduce the domination of certain languages. Moreover, studies suggest that there is a greater possibility of ICTs being adopted when the community finds that it incorporates local knowledge and has regional-centric context. Bringing useful technology – affordable and adapted to local needs – can transform the ways and the extent to which technology is adopted by a community and people. Bangla Calculator is a remarkable project as it brings a very handy tool to the Banglaspeaking populace.

Q: Android/java - need to find the ID of the current layout - how? I'm creating an app for the Android OS, and I'm running into a bit of a stumbling block on one issue.  Here's what I want to do:
I'm currently capturing the "Back" button event just fine, but I need it to behave slightly differently, depending on the current layout the user is viewing.  I have four layouts that I'm using, and if the user is on layout 1, 2, or 3, I want "Back" to take them to layout 1; but if they are on layout 4, I want them to go back to layout 3 instead.
The problem is, I can't for the life of me figure out the code that will return the id of the CURRENT layout.  I'm sure this is a pretty simple problem, so I'm hoping someone will have a quick solution.

Thanks for the pointers - for some reason I'm having trouble getting getCurrentFocus() to work, though...probably due to my own ineptitude in programming Java.
I've broken it down into the following:
View thisView = getCurrentFocus();
if (thisView != null){
int viewID = thisView.getId();
toastLong(Integer.toString(viewID));
} else {
toastLong("thisView is null.");
}

The problem now is that thisView is always null - it's not returning any values.  I tried putting in the activity name that I'm using in place of myActivity (making it:
View thisView = myActivityName.getCurrentFocus();

but the IDE gives me the following error and won't compile:
Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getCurrentFocus from the type Activity.
I'm obviously missing something, and my assumption is that it's a very basic something that I'm missing.  Any pointers?

A: I had this problem too and found a very simple solution. Though this is an old question, I'll post it here for people who are searching for help for this problem.
Just create an integer as attribute in your class:
int layoutId;

Then override the setContentView method and save the ID from the parameter:
@Override
public void setContentView(int layoutResID) {
    this.layoutId = layoutResID;
    super.setContentView(layoutResID);
}

Very simple trick!

A: You can use ViewFlipper to hold your layouts and implement a simple state machine to control transitions.
another option might be creating a separate Activity for every one of your layouts - hard to tell without exact knowledge about what your app is doing.

NoCleanSinging Premiere Brutal Drum Playthrough "Severed Limb Convulsion" By OF HATRED SPAWN
L-R: Matt Collacott (Vocals) | Remy Tartaglia (Guitars) | JJ Tartaglia (Drums) | Oscar Rangel (Bass)
Photo Credit – Mikey Wheeler
The latest blistering death metal entity Of Hatred Spawn unleashed their self-titled debut album worldwide this past December on Boonsdale Records. The band's studio and live line-up consist of JJ Tartaglia (Skull Fist) on drums, his brother Remy Tartaglia on guitars, Oscar Rangel (ex-Annihilator) on bass and Matt "Coldcuts" Collacott on vocals. The project is the first-ever collaborative offering by the Tartaglia brothers and holds great promise and expectations within the metal community around the world.
The band delivers an old-school death metal sound in the vein of old Morbid Angel, Decapitated, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Ruination-era Job For A Cowboy, while staying true to the modern trends of today's extreme metal. Super low-tuned guitars, guttural vocals, blast beat drumming, odd-time signatures, and tempo shifts create the atmosphere for Of Hatred Spawn's demonic sound. The lyrical themes tell stories of plagues, slavery, darkness and the balance of evil.
Teaming up with NoCleanSinging.com, the band is premiering drummer JJ Tartaglia's new playthrough for the album's track "Severed Limb Convulsion".
Tartaglia comments:
"This song is probably the heaviest one on the album. Straight up death metal, with quite a few changes in odd-time signatures of 11/8, 7/8, 5/8, and 6/8 and a tempo shift as well. All of the elements give it quite a modern sound making it one of my fave tracks. Real fun to play as well."

Hideki Matsuyama "embarrassed but grateful" over added media attention
Hideki Matsuyama admits he is still coming to terms with his hero welcome in Japan following his Masters victory.
Jack Seddon
Hideki Matsuyama admitted he is still coming to terms with the added media attention in Japan following his historic victory at The Masters in April.
Back in action on the PGA Tour this week, Matsuyama said he felt "embarrassed, but grateful" for his hero welcome back in his home country after he became the first Japanese golfer to win a major and the first Asian-born golfer to win the iconic Masters Tournament.
2021-04-12T000413Z_1295524590_UP1EH4B1TZBXO_RTRMADP_3_GOLF-MASTERS.JPG
Teeing it up at the AT&T Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch this week, the 29-year-old reflected on his return to Japan after he claimed his maiden major title.

Why does Tiger Woods always wear red on Sundays on the PGA Tour
"Probably the one thing that stands out is I got back to Japan and I was quarantined for two weeks and I was able to probably read every news article and newspaper and magazine and TV," said Matsuyama, the first Japanese man to win a major.
"And seeing how the Masters win was portrayed in Japan was great, really unforgettable, and that really stands out for my trip back to Japan. It was a bit embarrassing. I'm not used to all that attention, but grateful that people took notice.
"I realise now the responsibility that goes with a major championship, especially the Masters. I'm honoured, I'm flattered by the added attention, but at the same time, sometimes it's difficult to say no.
"But it goes with the territory and, again, grateful that I have this opportunity and I'll try my best to prepare well for what's to come."

With the next major of the year - the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island - just around the corner, Matsuyama said he will be using this week to get back in the flow, having not played much golf back home in Japan.
"After you win a tournament and you make some adjustments and you go on, but this time going back to Japan and really not picking up a club much over there, I didn't get to practice very much at all," he added.
"And then coming back here, and I'm just, really one of my goals now is just to try to find my game again and prepare for the PGA Championship next week."

We started the day at midnight, singing a birthday song for Mzi, playing some games. He also got a birthday hat and our special rainbow card with a lot of good wishes.
After breakfast we had our first family group discussion. We were talking about injustice. Each group member was given a chance to share their personal experience about this topic in their lives and how they overcame it. After this we returned to the big group where each family group got the chance to share their experience.
After this some participants walked to Akko (old city) where they went through a Turkish bazar which was quiet due to Ramadan. They also visited the port and they stopped for some Arabic treats which included watermelon, Kebab sandwiches, ice-cream and slushy.
Another group drove to Haifa and visited the beautiful Bahai gardens. Ofir who led them on this trip also took them to his home where they had refreshments and met his wife.
After returning to our home there was a chance for some participants to swim and others to have a light snack. This was followed by our evening discussion programme. The participants from South Africa, Poland and Germany were given the chance to ask the local group about their feelings on the situation here in Israel. It was interesting because not only were they sharing with the foreign visitors but also with each other. It was an important and informative lesson for everyone. This was also followed by another "informal" discussion outside long into the night young and old participants joined one by one as AB spoke encouraged and motivated everyone. More lessons were learnt as no one could leave their position as they listened.
Finally everyone went to sleep – taking lots of emotions, thoughts and feelings with us into our dreams.


If the trailer presented at the press conference for Ch8 upcoming romantic comedy A Tale of Two Cities was anything to go by, we think Pierre Png might have a good chance being nominated for Best Actor in Star Awards next year.
In A Tale of Two Cities, Pierre plays Hong Kong veteran actress Choo Mimi's adopted son Lin Wen Tao, who is not only a three-time taekwondo champion, but also a professional wedding photographer at his mother's bridal shop.
A gentle and simple man by nature, Wen Tao is in cahoots with his mother, to try and change willful heiress Zhang Ya Le (played by Rui En) for the better. The two later fall in love and ultimately get married, but not without an obstacle, which comes in the form of an ex-girlfriend.
During the press conference, Pierre stated that filming A Tale of Two Cities with Rui En was a relaxed affair, although he still felt slightly pressurised because "she's (Rui En) really good at what she does".
This would be the second time Pierre and Rui En play onscreen couple; the first being Honour and Passion in 2007.
"Rui En is a lovely actress to work with. I love the way she gets into character because she's so not like the character that she plays," Pierre laughed during an interview with xinmsn.
Pierre further complimented his co-star for "bringing substance and life into her character".
The actor added that working with Choo Mimi was a great learning experience, saying that she had "so much experience [with] the way they tackle the character, the way they prepare for the character".
"Everything they do is just something to watch, something to learn from," he said.
Pierre also called Choo Mimi "a joy to work with" as the talkative actress would take away the pressure from any scenes — be it an emotional one or a scene which required quarreling or bantering.
Despite starring in high-profile dramas such as Your Hand in Mine and The Score last year, Pierre has failed to secure a Best Actor nomination in the Star Awards this year.
When asked how he felt about not being nominated, Pierre said that since the beginning of his acting career, he had never actually thought he would make it into the Most Popular Male Artiste or even be nominated for Best Actor.
His last Best Actor nomination was in 2006 for his role as Nameless in The Shining Star, where he starred opposite then-newcomer Dawn Yeoh.
"That one time that I was nominated for Best Actor, they had to put me in the same category as Li Nanxing. So I thought that was a real sick joke," Pierre guffawed.
While it was a pity he was not nominated this time, the actor said he would be supporting his friends at the event and wished all the nominees best of luck.
"I'm happy just being on the payroll, just having roles to play, different characters to analyse, different shows to be in and acting with different actresses. They keep getting younger," Pierre smirked.

Are you traveling to Tokyo soon? Is it just for a short trip? Here are some ideas for spending 3 days in Tokyo.
Tokyo is the most layered city I've ever been to, but unfortunately, sometimes 3 days in Tokyo is all you can do. So in that case, here are some tips!
If you're anything like me, when you travel, you like to relax on your getaway. Tokyo can easily present itself as a problem because the city does have so much to offer that if you're not careful, you'll find yourself spread too thin.
It's important to prioritize what most interests you and then reduce your time to just those places. If you are interested in electronics, then perhaps time in Akihabara will be fitting. If you're interested in the fashion scene, then more time in Harajuku and Omotesando would be a good bet.
I highly recommend my book Hidden Tokyo. It's written from the approach of a specific neighborhood guide, breaking down 18 different neighborhoods and packed with top things to do and places to eat. If you read through this book, you'll be aware of all the potential things to do and can then refine your trip around that. But, for general usage purposes, here's a 3 day Tokyo itinerary that you can use as well.
Day one in Tokyo should be fun and relaxed. You'll start with the Shibuya District. The Harajuku neighborhood and nearby Omotesando is located inside Shibuya Ward, as are all the places I recommend below.
For 3 days in Tokyo, I recommend starting here first and then ending up in Shibuya at night where you can experience some nightlife, bar hop, and see the brightest lights in Tokyo. Of course, you should totally switch up the days to your own personal preferences and order of your choosing.
The Meiji Shrine is one of the most beautiful places in Tokyo, surrounded by forest. It's located right near Harajuku as well so just take the train to Meiji-Jinju Mae, hop off and wander the shrine for a couple hours.
After exploring the Meiji Shrine, head over to Takeshita Dori to wander Harajuku's crazy shops and cafes. And if you like pancakes, try Rainbow Pancake's macadamia nut pancakes. They're life changing – but, there's usually a wait.
If you only have 3 days in Tokyo and you love fashion, Omotesando & Aoyama is essentially Tokyo's Champs Champs Elysees and I much prefer Tokyo's version.
Omotesando & Aoyama are very different neighborhoods but are adjacent to Harajuku so it's an easy stroll over in this direction.
Daikanyama is a hip neighborhood with its own interesting vibe and charm. It's also a part of Shibuya Ward and should not be missed. You can easily take the train there after Harajuku and spend an hour or two exploring the cool shops.
I recommend finishing the night off by taking the train to Shibuya Station for dinner, drinks, and nightlife and taking in views of the famous Shibuya Crossing. See my article on Tokyo Nightlife | Epic Things to Do for ideas.
This is one of Tokyo's hottest spots and for good reason. It's a magical spot, but you should be mindful of the time of day you go because it can get super crowded. I recommend going in the morning.
Walk around the temple and then explore the Hanayashiki Amusement Park nearby – the oldest in Japan. It's small but also a very interesting spot for photographs.
You'll of course need to check the schedule for times and seasons.
Akiba or Electric Town should most definitely be on the list of everyone in Tokyo, especially if you're into electronics. Go to the Yodobashi Camera and explore the hub of Tokyo's Otaku culture. See my article on Things to Do in Akihabara.
The districts that I'm recommending here can be selected as one or the other, or both. One day should include exploring Shinjuku & then Roppongi, depending on your preferences. I'll go into the differences more down below.
Both districts however are excellent nightlife spots and for that reason, you might actually want to hit up Shinjuku or Roppongi on Day 2 after Akihabara and the third on day 3.
Shinjuku is pretty large and Shinjuku Station is not only the busiest train station in Tokyo, but also in the world.
Shinjuku is famous for the Golden Gai (Tokyo's maze of local bars), The Lost in Translation Hotel (Park Hyatt Tokyo) and of course Kabukicho with its Robot Restaurant. This makes Shinjuku an excellent spot for nightlife.
You can also make your way up to The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for a free view with clear days of Mt. Fuji and then stop off at Shinjuku Gyoen for a hanami in the park. Book The Robot Restaurant Here.
Roppongi is a fascinating place. It has some of Tokyo's finest museums and architecture but it's also a hub of nightlife as well.
If you are only able to catch one view in Tokyo, I recommend the Mori Tower. It's not free, but it's the best. And if you can go around sunset, even better.
Then stop off at The Kill Bill Restaurant, Gonpachi, for drinks and izakaya.
I hope this article has helped you to conceptually grasp how to spend 3 days in Tokyo, but the level of depth you experience is completely dependent upon your level of knowledge. If you want to go beyond scratching the surface, I highly recommend my book Hidden Tokyo as an essential travel companion to any traveler heading to Tokyo.
It contains an organized and comprehensive wealth of tips & information that you cannot possibly discover on your own. It's also the ultimate Tokyo neighborhood guide. I take you into over 50 chapters and explore 18 different neighborhoods, each filled with a goldmine of suggestions and information filling nearly 400 pages. Learn more below.

Q: Passing argument to a psql procedural script I have a loop command script on psqlthat looks like this:
script.sql
DO $$DECLARE
    data_rec RECORD;
    r RECORD;
    r2 RECORD;
BEGIN
select mytables.data_id into data_rec from mytables where id = :arg1;

    FOR r IN select * from
    (select * from ...)
    LOOP
        FOR r2 IN select * from
        (...)
              LOOP
            ......
          END LOOP;
    END LOOP;
END$$;

And I want to pass arg1 as a argument from the command line:
psql -h db.server.com -f script.sql -v arg1=1234 > foo.out

But I keep getting a syntax error at where id = :arg1, so I'm out of ideas how to pass a simple parameter to this script. Suggestions welcome

A: There are few possibilities, how to do it. Anonymous block is relative strongly isolated from client environment, so parametrisation is not intuitive - but it is not hard work.
You can use a server side session variables. These variables are accessible from both environments.
postgres=# \set txt Ahoj
postgres=# set myvars.txt to :'txt'; -- fill server side variable
SET
postgres=# do $$ begin raise notice '%', current_setting('myvars.txt'); end;$$;
NOTICE:  Ahoj
DO

Little bit more complex example
bash-4.1$ cat test.sh
echo "
set myvars.msgcount TO :'msgcount';
DO \$\$
BEGIN
  FOR i IN 1..current_setting('myvars.msgcount')::int LOOP
    RAISE NOTICE 'Hello';
  END LOOP;
END \$\$" | psql postgres -v msgcount=$1

bash-4.1$ sh test.sh 10
SET
Time: 0.935 ms
NOTICE:  Hello
NOTICE:  Hello
NOTICE:  Hello
NOTICE:  Hello
NOTICE:  Hello
NOTICE:  Hello
NOTICE:  Hello
NOTICE:  Hello
NOTICE:  Hello
NOTICE:  Hello
DO

Q: Declaring static arrays in php I am new to php. I was wondering how I could declare a static array in php. Here is what I would do in C. How is the corresponding php code for it?
char a[][] = { (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3) };

From what I read it has to be something like this -
$a = array( 1 => array(1,1), 2 => array(1,2), ... );

Is this correct? If so it sucks :) I hope I am wrong.
Thanks,
- Pav

A: You've already found the way to do it natively.
Another option would be to declare your data as JSON (a very concise and human-friendly format).  This could be either in a separate file bundled with your app, or directly in your code in a string.  Then parse the JSON at runtime.  Since PHP isn't exactly known for speed, this may or may not make your noticeably app slower to start.

A: you have it already figured out in your question.
One thing I would add is that you do not need to explicitly define the keys if you are intending to use a zero based array, this is assumed and can be done like so...
$a = array(array(1,1),array(1,2), ... );

You can also use what is called associative arrays which use string keys and you define them the same way you do in your example, except use strings instead of numbers...
$ass_array = array( 'array_1' => array(1,1), 'array_2' => array(1,2), ... );

you would then call your associative array like this...
$ass_array['array_1'];

Also, if you want to append single items to an array (for example in a loop to load an array)...
$ass_array[] = $item;

A: Further to jondavidjohn's anwser, you could just write a quick script to grab your list of values and generate the array statement for you.
No need to care how verbose the syntax is then. If the task is long and repetitious enough to care, don't do it by hand. :)

Kidnapped Nigerian Girls Escape Boko Haram and Tell Their Story
Brenda Walker
Allah's thugs in the Boko Haram gang have been marauding through Nigeria, mass-murdering and kidnapping school girls along the way to be forced to convert to Muslims and become sex slaves of jihadists, a common practice of Islam. In fact, the Boko violence has caused Nigeria to postpone its upcoming presidential election which was scheduled for February 14. More than 6000 civilians were killed by Boko jihadists last year.
Most of the 270 schoolgirls kidnapped in April of last year remain in Boko hands, despite the silly hashtag campaign of Michelle Obama and others to "Bring Back Our Girls." The White House has moved on to other concerns now, as it pretends that Islam is just like any other religion and isn't populated with psychokillers.
Boko Haram has declared a caliphate in the part of Nigeria it controls.
However, a few girls have managed to escape their captors, and provide insight into Boko Haram's particular flavor of Islamic barbarity, hinted at by the group's name, which means "Western education is sin."
Girls Who Escaped from Boko Haram Speak Out, By Dale Hurd, CBN News, February 11, 2015
It's been more than 300 days since Islamic terrorists with the group Boko Haram snatched more than 270 girls from a boarding school in Nigeria in the dead of night.
Despite a worldwide outcry and military action, most of the girls are still missing. But some have managed to escape.
"They told us that if we do not convert to Islam they will slit our throats. They asked the healthy ones to perform the (Islamic) rites while we, the sick ones, did not perform the rites," 15-year-old Abigail John, who was held by Boko Haram for more than four weeks, said.
John was among three girls who recently escaped from Boko Haram. She had worried she would never see freedom again.
"The way they spoke to us, they had no intention of releasing us," she said. "They said we would be married off as soon as we got well and that they would marry us to their members who were single. We never thought we would regain our freedom."
Twenty-year-old Dorcas Aiden was held captive for two weeks last September. She admitted that she denied her Christian faith and pretended to become Muslim, to stay alive.
She described what she witnessed in captivity.
"They are teaching (girls) Islamic (religion), some say they are married, then they are saying that they are training them (to fight)," she said.
"And they are showing us inside (on) the laptop (videos) everyday, and they are showing us the way they are killing people, killing soldiers," she continued. "And they say if they catch you ladies, they will marry the ladies, and if they catch a man, they will kill the man."
The local priest, Father Maurice Kwairanga, has been helping these girls.
"(For) some of them it's very painful for them to go through this process of even telling what happened to them," he said. "But gradually, they are able to open up and to talk freely, to feel accepted and to feel that the world has not turned its back on them."
At least 219 girls are still missing. The fight with Boko Haram killed more than 6,000 civilians in last year.

Do you have what it takes to go to the next level?
C.J. Stewart (right) with University of Georgia baseball coach Scott Strickland.
There are millions of boys all over the world who dream of playing collegiate and professional baseball. I'm confident that less than 25 percent have the courage to say it for these three commonly used statements from their parents and facilitators:
"The chances are slim to make it."
"There are millions of boys out there that want to make it."
"You have to work really hard."
Professional coaches have the ability to assess, and then tell them they either have or don't have what it takes. If it works out, they will offer to help.
Is baseball tournament play important? Why so?
Where your team ranks in tournament rankings does offer a sense of accomplishment. However, college programs don't offer scholarships to teams.
Consider a team with 12 players in the dugout during a baseball 12U baseball tournament. At the same time, they are all day dreaming about playing baseball in college. Four of them want to play for the University of Georgia. Four want to play for Auburn University and the other four want to take their talents to Georgia State University.
What percentage of these boys would you guess realize they can learn the fundamentals and culture from the coaches of their dream school for less than the cost of the tournament they're playing in?
College baseball camps provide direct access to baseball instruction from the head baseball coach and his staff, as well as the culture of the program. The initial contact here makes it easier for a college coaches to further evaluate you in showcase tournaments.
What are three things that all players are guaranteed to takeaway when they leave your camp?
The will have a better knowledge of the game of baseball. Our entire staff takes pride in teaching the game and how it should be played. Kids that attend our camps will get repetitions hitting, throwing and fielding, but will also gain a deeper understanding of how to play the game.
They will understand what it takes to become a player at the college level. We also have our players present at these camps and our players can share with them what it truly takes to become a college athlete.
A whole lot of fun. The game of baseball is fun and should be played that way. We take what we do very seriously, but we also have a whole lot of fun teaching the game we love.
Scott Stricklin, head baseball coach, University of Georgia
Baseball camps are focused on creating a sincere connection to campers with their staff due to the common ground of loving baseball. In addition, they offer a sincere element of development through teaching points and drill work. They also provide a sincere evaluation or game plan for moving forward well after camp and being available for follow up advice or assistance.
– Butch Thompson, head baseball coach, Auburn University
I want the campers to have a good time, make new friends and learn new things. I want the campers to know that we at Georgia State baseball have a family environment and it is an environment for everyone to thrive. I want the campers to understand that playing baseball is only one aspect of our program. We will expect high academic achievement, positive behavior and model citizens on and off the field. I want to identify their strengths and help them understand that their special tool is what will get them an opportunity in high level baseball. Also, I help them understand things they will need to work on to make a team and then contribute. Lastly, I want them to leave the park as a Georgia State fan and come back to see us play.

It's been a crazy busy time in my studio, with lots and lots of deadlines to meet.
But… in between it all, I have been having a lovely time with the triangle loom.
Mine's from Dewberry Ridge Looms [link] It's a thing of beauty- so well made!
I've been experimenting with the loom to figure out some different ways of using it.
I have come up with a way of using the tri loom to weave 'V' shapes.
It was a little challenging at first, especially since I wanted to weave a buttonhole in, as well.
But, it was worth the trouble! The 'V' weaving technique can be used on any size triangle loom.
The 'V' shape gives the cowl flexibility and drape, so it fits beautifully.
My lovely daughter in law, who is a FABULOUS spinner, spun the yarn for these three cowls.
I made the buttons from coconut shells.
Now that we are sliding into winter, weaving coziness is a very good idea!
Very ingenious, like all your little loom projects, and they look lovely! I especially like that they are made from handspun as that makes them more luxurious. Its almost enough to make me wish we had long cold winters with lots of snow – but not really! From what I have heard, you will be needing to wear these now, not when winter officially arrives next month! Keep warm and safe!
They are so pretty. If I have any money left after a road trip to FL with my daughter and granddaughter I am going to try and order the set of looms. If not maybe Santa will be generous if I ask real nice.
Now I am trying to decide what fiber stuff I can teach gdd on the long drive down and back.
Thank you! They are sooooooooo comfortable, too! Cowls have replaced scarves for me, as they don't drag and snag, and are lighter, and oh so cozy!
I'll be posting pics of a 7 ft shawl that I embroidered with dragonflies soon. I stitched a spool knitted cord around the outside edge and that's just gorgeous.
LOL… we are never really prepared for winter when it whumps into our lives, but having cozy cowls really does help!

Enregistré au Grand Rex à Paris le 21 juillet 1998.
""It was 1966 when I first heard the Buddy Rich Swinging New Big Band. All the other things I was listening to at the time had to move over and make room for this wonerful noise I had discovered. I went searching for more and discovered Count Basie with Sonny Payne, Harold Jones and Jo Jones... then Duke Ellington and so many more. I decided that, one day, I'd have to have a go myseflf and form my own big band.
Thirty years later I did it. In 1996 I toured Europe with Quincy Jones conducting and Tony Bennett as our guest vocalist and my band. I was in Heaven.
Having dived in, I couldn't wait to do it again. In 1998 I took the band out again and toured the USA and Europe. We recorded some shows and the result is here to listen to. For me it's a labour of love. I'm back where I belong, behind the drums, playing music I'm proud of with some wonderful musicians. I hope it moves you as it does me. If it does, come and see us sometime."
