Monty Python Live, Monty Python Dating, and me.
Monty Python Live!
I seem to have become the unofficial unpaid spokesperson for Monty Python!
If you're a Monty Python fan and single, join my Monty Python the Pythonesque Dating Facebook Group!
To recap, I won the BFI's Monty Python competition - part of the London Film Festival 2012 - which was promoting Graham Chapman's "A Liar's Autobiography". Ever since then, according to the media, I am the biggest Monty Python fan.. period.
Then the Monty Python Live O2 shows were announced, and the media came after me! I was interviewed by six BBC radio stations, including BBC Radio 2 (The Jeremy Vine Show), as well as the Scottish Sunday newspaper, The Scotman, and my local newspaper, The East Grinstead Courier.
Because of all the hype now whipped up by the Pythons, I then decided that it was the right time to launch my Monty Python the Pythonesque Dating Facebook Group. I've always felt that a healthy interest in Monthy Python is an excellent basis for a happy relationship. (So why did I marry someone who hated Monty Python back in 1995 then? Don't ask... The marriage lasted nearly 15 years. That's not bad, considering!)

Belsen liberator, Leonard Berney, takes part in landmark Belsen documentary "Night Will Fall"
Leonard Berney, second from right
Those involved in the original production included
Alfred Hitchcock!
Leonard Berney was interviewed in Haifa, Israel earlier today about the part he played in the liberation of Bergen-Belsen. Then a Major in the British Army and only 25 years of age, he was one of the first of the allied troops through the gates of Bergen-Belsen on 15 April 1945.
"Night Will Fall", a feature-length documentary, produced by Spring Films in association with Angel TV and the Imperial War Museum will be released in 2014.
In the spring of 1945, Allied forces liberating Europe found evidence of atrocities which have tortured the world's conscience ever since. As the troops entered the German concentration camps, they made a systematic film record of what they saw. Work began on a documentary to show the horror they witnessed to the German population.
Sidney Bernstein, chief of the Psychological Warfare Film Section of SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force) commissioned the film. Those involved in the production included Alfred Hitchcock and renowned editor Stewart McAllister; they produced perhaps the most remarkable testament of the 20th Century. "No German can say he didn't know" insists the commentary, co-written by Richard Crossman, the future cabinet minister.
These sentiments were judged by the British Government to be unsuitable to the bridge-building mood towards Germany. The film was never shown.
40 years later an American researcher found a rusty can marked "F3080" in the vaults of London's Imperial War Museum. It was in very poor condition and the last roll was missing, but in 1985 a scratched and blurry copy was shown on PBS in America. Now after three years of work by Dr Toby Haggith of the Imperial War Museum, the entire film has been fully restored and piece by piece, frame by frame, the lost last reel has been put together from the original shot lists. For the first time in history the completed "F3080" is ready to be shown.
Spring Films in association with Angel TV and the Imperial War Museum is producing a 90" documentary for theatrical and television release. This documentary, 'Night Will Fall' is to coincide with the release of the remastered original film and will tell the remarkable story behind the making of the film, the people involved and the reasons why it was never shown.
Spring Films is an award-winning, London-based production company specialising in international co-productions and high-end documentaries for television, cinema, DVD, IMAX and multi-media platforms

Bergen-Belsen Liberator, Leonard Berney, Available for Interview in Israel
Leonard Berney's interview by London ITV News on the
68th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen
To all members of the Israeli Media and any other interested parties,
My father, Leonard Berney, now aged 93, was one of the first of the Allied troops through the gates of Belsenin April 1945. Major Berney (as he was then), aged 25, stayed on to run theBelsen Camp for Displaced Persons for 3 months after its liberation. He also gave evidence at the Belsen War Crimes trial.
Here is his personal account:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/user/83/u747283.shtml
and here is a TV news interview with him, filmed on the 68th anniversary of Belsen's liberation:
http://www.itv.com/news/london/update/2013-04-15/londoner-remembers-liberation-of-belsen-concentration-camp/
He will be visiting Haifa from 12 to 17 November and is available for interview. His purpose is to counteract the ridiculous claims made by Holocaust deniers and to make sure young people today really know what happened, in the hope that it might prevent such atrocities from ever happening again.
Please contact me if you'd like any more information or if you would like to interview my father.

John Cleese: Art for Alimony
The John Cleese Art Collection at the Chris Beetles Gallery, London
John Cleese and John Wood: I finally got a photo with JC, the almighty!
John Cleese, Eric Idle, Sir Trevor Nunn and Prof Brian Cox arrive
Thanks to art lover and Python fan, Chris Butcher, my name was put on the guest list for this event that took place on Tues 3 Sept 2013, together with Python fans Alexandra Weid and Lolly Taylor-Archer. Actually, it turned out that there was, in fact, no guest list (anyone could just walk in - if it wasn't so packed that is) which was a bit surprising, since free champagne was flowing all night.
John Cleese was selling off 110 items of his art collection to raise funds towards his alimony payments to his ex-wife, Alyce Faye Eichelberger, at the Chris Beetles Gallery in Ryder Street, London, SW1. From Wikipedia: "The divorce settlement left Eichelberger with £12 million in finance and assets, including £600,000 a year for seven years. Cleese stated that "What I find so unfair is that if we both died today, her children would get much more than mine"."
The place was absolutely packed (there were 400 of us, says the Daily Mail), and there were so many celebs in the crowd! Here are those I recognised, but there were many faces I'd seen on the telly but I couldn't figure out who they were:
Eric Idle (a very pleasant surprise), Prof Brian Cox, Sir Tim Rice, Sir Trevor Nunn, Anthony Andrews, Terence Conoley and Jeffrey Archer.
The wives of the late Peter Cook and Michael Winner were also present.
Chris Beetles, owner of the art gallery, introduced John Cleese who talked a little bit about his recently departed friends, Sir David Frost and Michael Winner, and he then pointed out various items in the collection and told us the stories behind them and how he came to own them.
Afterwards, he signed autographs for ages, and I managed to get a photo with him, finally! I had met John Cleese before, at the Secret Policeman's Biggest Ball back in 1989, when I asked him what this Neville Shunte/Gavin Millarrrrrrrr Python sketch was all about, and he explained it to me.

Michael Palin appears as God in Spamalot in aid of his charity Action for Stammering Children
How exciting it was to see Spamalot again (my 13th time), knowing that Michael Palin himself was going to walk on stage at the end of the show during the curtain call.
The last time I saw Spamalot was on opening night at The Playhouse Theatre, last November with Stephen Tomkinson as King Arthur, Anna-Jane Casey as the Lady of the Lake, Todd Carty as Patsy and Graham MacDuff as Sir Lancelot.
Last night, Les Dennis, the current King Arthur did a splendid job in the part and he even sends himself up at one point in the show! And Michael Burgen makes an excellent Patsy.
The others (Bonnie Langford as Lady of the Lake and Kit Orton as Sir Lancelot) I had seen perform previously when the show was at the Harold Pinter Theatre. They are both amazing and extremely funny!
A very clever PR person (who deserves a pay rise) - or was it Eric Idle? - came up with the idea of getting stars to play God in the show for a week each, in aid of their chosen charities. Michael Palin's charity is Action for Stammering Children aka The Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children, for which his performance in the show will raise awareness and funds.
In his totally heartfelt speech (before the all-cast finale rendition of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, with Michael in the centre of the chorus line and holding hands with Les Dennis and Bonnie Langford), he said that his father suffered from a terrible stammer and how different his life would have been if Action for Stammering Children had been around in his day. He said that he found it so moving how the charity helps the children overcome their stammer, that his support of the charity is what he is most proud of.
I went with a group of Python fans (we almost all met each other for the first time at the show!) and, needless to say, we all had a fantastic time!

PS I want you to know that the Playhouse Theatre has very comfy seats and nice clean loos! It's a delightful place!

Corinne Sugino Leads Prison Workshop About Debate
BY RHIAN WILLIAMS
While the WDI has a lot to be proud of with the competitive successes of our past campers and collegiate scholars, it is important to recognize the real-world application of the skills learned at the WDI. Corinne Sugino, former WDI Collegiate Scholar and college policy debater for Wake Forest University, is demonstrating the connection between debate and activism. As a leader and participant of the Alexander Literary Organization at Wake Forest, Corinne has been volunteering at Alexander Correctional Institute for the past few months.
Once a month, the Alexander Literary Organization introduces a new workshop topic to the group of inmates. Initially started by Wake Forest senior Alex Gibson, the organization is led and run by the students at Wake Forest who believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage in discussions on liberation.
The leadership and topics of each workshop is rotational, so each student gets the opportunity to present and discuss their own subjects. Sugino chose to present about debate. Sending the inmates the information in advance, Sugino was met with attentive inmates who had compiled pages of notes in preparation for her workshop. The goal of Sugino's workshop was to teach advocacy skills to the inmates so they could empower themselves and work toward rehabilitation back into mainstream society.
Sugino believes that she's gaining as much as the inmates: "it definitely gave me some perspective," she explains, "it's easy at Wake to just exist in this bubble where you don't interact with the larger community. Going to Alexander allowed me to meet people with completely different experiences and perspectives."
It is often the case that debaters and scholars discuss and debate liberation from systems of oppression in their ivy towers without ever interacting with the people that they are theorizing about. "It's unhealthy to just theorize in academic spaces. It's easy to let that be all that you do. Talking with the inmates helped to discuss the theories in more concrete terms that you can apply in your own life." Connecting theory to practice is where Sugino sees the most positive influence of the program for both the inmates and the instructors.
Corinne Sugino initially heard about the program through her former debate partner, Joe Leduc, who had been heavily involved with the Alexander Literary Organization. "I got involved because I feel like a lot of people don't deserve to be in prison, and they especially don't deserve in injustices and lack of resources in the prisons." Sugino believes that her work at the prison has more of an impact than organizing a rally on campus because it meets the inmates where they are. "The inmates genuinely want us to be there and I have learned a great deal from the other members."
This month, the group is discussing the book Between the World and Me, by Ta Nehisi Coates with a guest professor from Wake Forest University.

"The Light That Has Lighted the World" is a song by English musician George Harrison released on his 1973 album Living in the Material World. It is viewed as a statement on Harrison's discomfort with the attention afforded him as an ex-Beatle and features a prominent contribution from English session pianist Nicky Hopkins, along with a highly regarded slide guitar solo from Harrison. Around the time it was recorded, in late 1972, "The Light That Has Lighted the World" was rumoured to be the title track of the forthcoming album. Harrison originally intended it as a song for English singer Cilla Black, whose version of his 1970 composition "When Every Song Is Sung" he produced before starting work on Living in the Material World.

An early acoustic demo of the song, a solo performance by Harrison, appeared as the closing track on the 2012 compilation Early Takes: Volume 1.

Background and composition
In early August 1972, in between overseeing the UK release of Saul Swimmer's Concert for Bangladesh documentary and heading up to Liverpool to catch Ravi Shankar's recital at the Philharmonic Hall, George Harrison tried recording "When Every Song Is Sung", a ballad from the All Things Must Pass era, as a single for Cilla Black. Although the project was not completed, just like Harrison's attempt to record the same song with Ronnie Spector the year before, he later decided to write a B-side for her, which would become "The Light That Has Lighted the World". In his autobiography, I, Me, Mine, Harrison explains that the lyrics dealt with the "Local boy/girl makes good" phenomenon, where the public initially supports someone who achieves success yet are then disapproving if fame or success changes that person. Both he and Black were from Liverpool and had become famous quickly, after which many people considered their personalities had changed – a common link that Harrison thought of basing the intended B-side around. After he had come up with the opening two lines, however, the theme soon evolved into something more personal.

At the 27 July 1971 press conference preceding the Bangladesh concerts, Harrison had admitted he was "flattered" and "honour[ed]" to be receiving the same attention and acclaim once reserved for the Beatles. A year later, though, his words to "The Light That Has Lighted the World" were a plea for freedom from public scrutiny regarding his Beatle past, musical biographer Simon Leng writes, to allow him to "pursue his spiritual quest" unencumbered by the weight of others' expectations.

This negative scrutiny Harrison found "hateful to anyone that is happy or 'free' ", the lyrics continue, while he targets its purveyors as living "their lives without looking to see / The light that has lighted the world."

Harrison argues in I Me Mine that things can never stay the same – "the whole of life is a change: from the morning to the evening, from spring to winter ... from birth to death ..." This viewpoint is reflected in the song's second verse, where he bemoans those who make a point of resisting change, "As if nature itself, they'd prefer rearranged", because for them, "there's so little chance to experience soul". The song ends more optimistically, with his declaration:

Instead of giving the track to Cilla Black, Harrison used it for his own album, Living in the Material World, recording for which began in October 1972.

While analysing the song's lyrics, Leng opines that, like "Who Can See It", "The Light That Has Lighted the World" betrays Harrison's tendency towards "internalization of world events", and the fact that he wrote these words while still in his twenties is a "testament to the sheer psychological pressure" of the Beatles experience and superstardom generally. At its core, Leng suggests, the song is asking: "What right do you have to inspect me, just because I made a few records?"

"He didn't like celebrity," Elton John observed of Harrison in a 2002 Rolling Stone Press tribute book. "I think he'd had enough by 1970 to last three lifetimes ... He found something worth more than fame, more than fortune, more than anything." In her introductory piece to the same publication, written two months after his death, Olivia Harrison quoted from the words to "The Light That Has Lighted the World" as an example of her late husband providing the "live background music to our lives": "If I played three chords on the uke (compulsory instrument in our home), he would be my band. George was so generous and 'grateful to anyone that is happy or free.' A good moment to him was always worth making better."

Recording

In a December 1971 interview for Disc and Music Echo, Nicky Hopkins – "the world's best-known anonymous pianist", as that magazine termed him – had talked of his plans to start work on his own solo album early the following year. "I'll probably be doing it with George Harrison," he said. "I'd really like to do that because, with George, I feel a very close thing ... We just seem to understand each other on a personal level so well." Like Harrison's long-awaited follow-up to All Things Must Pass, the Hopkins solo project was delayed by other commitments until the autumn of 1972, but the mutual understanding that Hopkins referred to was much in evidence on Living in the Material World; Leng describes the English keyboard player's contributions as "the most prominent instrumental voice" on the album aside from Harrison's distinctive slide guitar.

On "The Light That Has Lighted the World", the recording is underpinned by Gary Wright's stately harmonium and Harrison's acoustic rhythm guitars, and is dominated by Hopkins' piano. The instrumental section, in between the two verses, featuring first Hopkins and then Harrison, has received much positive comment. The track's solemn tempo has been likened to that for "Tears of Rage" and "I Shall Be Released" by the Band. An alternative studio version of the song, an outtake from the October–December 1972 album sessions, appears on the Living in the Alternate World bootleg. Featuring a more prominent and melodic harmonium part from Wright, and devoid of Harrison's overdubbed second and third acoustic-guitar parts and his electric slide guitar, this version of "The Light That Has Lighted the World" ends with an attractive vocal falsetto in place of the official release's bottleneck flourish.

Release and reception
"The Light That Has Lighted the World" was issued in mid 1973 as the third track on Living in the Material World and is the first of a trio of slow-paced songs throughout the album that covers Harrison's preoccupation with breaking free from the past and others' perceptions (the second and third being "Who Can See It" and "Be Here Now"). Some months before this, the working title of the album was said to be The Light That Has Lighted the World. According to author Keith Badman, it was only in January 1973 that the name was changed to Living in the Material World. As with eight other tracks on the album and the 1973 B-side "Miss O'Dell", Harrison donated his publishing royalties and the copyright for "The Light That Has Lighted the World" to his Material World Charitable Foundation.

On release, the song was viewed as possessing both of the traits that a some reviewers disliked about its parent album: too slow in tempo, and with lyrics "too smug for rock 'n' roll". Stephen Holden of Rolling Stone described it as "an oblique defense against public criticism and expectations of a Beatle reunion" and, the "sustained" instrumental break aside, "pretty leaden stuff" due to the funereal pace. NME critic Bob Woffinden found the music "exceptionally fine" and opined that the song "could rank with his best compositions". The problem, in Woffinden's opinion, was that, with the advent of glam rock in the UK while Harrison delayed following up on his 1970–71 solo success, "half the record-buying public" were more likely to view the song title as a reference to Gary Glitter.

Writing in Melody Maker, Michael Watts described the album as "Harrison's personal statement", documenting his journey towards "a spiritual goal which for the first time he has been able to define". Amid the "large autobiographical insights" offered in Harrison's new compositions, Watts wrote of "The Light That Has Lighted the World"'s role in the song cycle: "Until finally he climbed over the rocky patches and found his own Shangri-La, becoming transformed in the process."

Retrospective appraisal
Writing for Rolling Stone in 2002, Greg Kot referred to the song's "condescending autobiographical vein", which he found echoed in Harrison's 1974 riposte to his detractors, "Dark Horse". To Bruce Eder of AllMusic, "The Light That Has Lighted the World" is one of the tracks on Material World that suffers from seeming "weighed down with their own sense of purpose, in ways that All Things Must Pass mostly (but not entirely) avoided". Similarly unimpressed, Eight Arms to Hold You authors Chip Madinger and Mark Easter write: "One would think that the 'light' might have given George a bit more happiness to reflect upon, but hey, the slide work's great!" The outtake available on the Alternate World bootleg, they add, was "believe it or not, even more lugubrious that the commercial version".

Beatles biographer Alan Clayson also compliments Harrison's slide-guitar work, writing of his "controlled grace" while "shining up the octaves" during the solo. Another biographer, Elliot Huntley, approves of the "grandiloquent ballad tone" of this and other songs on the album, and admires the "tasteful" rhythm section on "The Light That Has Lighted the World" and Harrison's "jangling" acoustic guitars. Having interviewed Harrison for Guitar World magazine in 1987, Rip Rense has likened the guitar solo to that on the Beatles' "Fixing a Hole", as examples of how Harrison's solos display "structure, syntax, and development" over "pyrotechnic flourishes". Rense adds: "These are thoughtful and original, deceptively simple sounding, invested with feeling." Writing for Goldmine in January 2002, Dave Thompson rated "The Light That Has Lighted the World" an "unquestioned highlight" and "a song hallmarked by distinct echoes of Lennon's Imagine".

In his review of the 2006 reissue of Living in the Material World, for Q magazine, Tom Doyle included the song among the album's best three tracks and wrote: "the introspective moods of The Light That Has Lighted The World and Who Can See It, with their ornate instrumentation and weepy vocals, are lovely things." Reviewing the 2014 Apple Years Harrison reissues, in Mojo, Doyle writes of Material World having "spotlit the spirituality and the dreaminess", through "the gentle, non-preachy The Light That Has Lighted The World and Be Here Now, both great works of look-around-you wonder". In his review for Record Collector, Oregano Rathbone highlights the song among Harrison's output over 1973–75, writing: "Living In The Material World, Dark Horse and Extra Texture may tend towards earnest, careworn, mid-tempo slow-burners, but each contains shivery moments of release: The Light That Has Lighted The World, Far East Man and This Guitar (Can't Keep From Crying) spring to mind."

New Zealand Herald journalist Graham Reid writes of Harrison having been "emotionally isolated" during the Material World era, and adds: "[The] gloss of his position as a revered former Beatle/Bangladesh patron and spiritual guide was starting to tarnish him ... He was sounding ungracious and irritable, but wrapping the message up in melodically interesting songs." Reid cites "The Light That Has Lighted the World" as a track where Harrison "nailed it", and an example of how "this album can be very moving." Writing for the music website No Ripcord, Matt Bevington describes the composition as "perhaps his most revealing lyrical work and exemplary of his ability to convey with both charming humour and coarse honesty". Bevington adds: "it reads like a precious sermon ..."

Simon Leng considers the song "alarmingly direct" lyrically, and melodically strong, but, in the wider context of Harrison's career during the first half of the 1970s, he detects a "scalded-cat reaction" that would encourage critics to pounce on his next release, Dark Horse. Leng draws parallels with Joni Mitchell's "Ludwig's Song" and "Shadows and Light" – two tracks dealing with criticism and harsh judgement that duly attracted more of the same. Like Clayson and Holden, Leng views the mid-song soloing on "The Light That Has Lighted the World" as a highlight: "a rolling, lilting passage from Nicky Hopkins, topped by one of Harrison's finest performances," he writes. "In the closing bars of the statement, repeated as the song's coda, the guitar vocalizes a series of six-string sobs. George finally made his guitar gently weep." While echoing Leng's sentiments, Guitar World editor Damian Fanelli includes the slide soloing on his list of Harrison's best post-Beatles "Guitar Moments".

Unlike Leng, Ian Inglis views the lyrics as Harrison "[resisting] the temptation to criticize", since instead the unenlightened "have his sympathy". To Inglis, the song's weakness is that the "light" Harrison is striving to see is never made clear; whether it's love, spiritual enlightenment, or even the Beatles, "who, after all, have illuminated the world for many millions of people". The meaning is clear to theologian Dale Allison, who sums up "The Light That Has Lighted the World" as an "achingly beautiful" song that "expresses resentment toward those who dislike the ex-Beatle George but thanksgiving for those who reflect the light of God".

Other versions
In Martin Scorsese's 2011 documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material World, the song is played over footage of the April 1970 announcement of the Beatles' break-up, following a clip of Harrison and Paul McCartney signing the "Beatles Agreement" legal papers in December 1974. A solo demo of "The Light That Has Lighted the World" (featuring Harrison on 12-string acoustic guitar) was included with the movie's deluxe-edition release on DVD, in November 2011. Six months later, this version was issued on the Early Takes: Volume 1 compilation.

In an interview with MusicRadar, compilation producer Giles Martin said that the unpolished aspect of Harrison's performance made him uncertain at first about whether to include the song on Early Takes. Martin continued: "It sounds like he's playing it to just one person late one evening, which is very George ... It's a little bit special; it shows how George could make something simple sound very spiritual, almost dreamy in a way ... I think this works beautifully as a closer." Graham Reid has described the Early Takes version as, variously, a "superb demo" and "a revelation". In his review for No Ripcord, Bevington writes: "in such a graceful recording there is a profound message which cuts even deeper to something [Harrison] quite obviously understood, yet most never will."

"The Light That Has Lighted the World" was covered by Japanese band Grapevine, featuring guest vocalist Maika Shiratori (daughter of Emiko Shiratori), on the Gentle Guitar Dreams Harrison tribute album, released in May 2002.

Distraught parents of little girl who died in hot car had 'big plans' for the future
The distraught parents of the little girl who died after being left in a hot car were planning to build a house of their own.
Paul and Louise Fogarty were planning the next chapter of their lives when tragedy struck.
The couple were hoping to build a home in the area of Kilseakle, Co.Tipperary.
Their daughter Chloe died from suspected heatstroke after she was left in her dad's car on one of the hottest days of the year.
Fine Gael councillor Michael Fitzgerald told the Irish Mirror: 'I was talking to Paul yesterday morning. He was planning to build a new house in the parish.
'They were making plans for the future, but within a few hours, everything changed for them.'
He said everyone was devastated for the 'well-liked, hard-working' family.
Mr Fitzgerald said his daughter was 'everything' to Paul.
He said: 'This is an awful case of human error. It was the hottest day of the year. Even if it had have been today… there's a lot more coldness there.'
He added Paul 'just totally forgot' he had his daughter with him because he was 'consumed' by his work.
According to reports Paul had planned to drop Chloe into a local creche but stopped off at his workplace – O'Dwyer Steel – where he works as a foreman.
It is thought he became distracted by taking a phone call.

Q: Animated submenu pure css I tried to make a menu, which has 3 menu items and 1 subitem. If I click on second item, first child item should display. But not normally display it. It should animate it and slide it. I think there is a way with transition but I don't really know CSS3. And I want to have a pure css solution.
Here my HTML code:

First

Second

First child

Third

I created this fiddle. Now I want to show First child menu item slowly if I click on Second menu item.
The only thing that I did before was checking transition but I just don't get it.
Can someone give me a hint?
Cheers

A: See your jsfiddle updated http://jsfiddle.net/3kEg4/3/
#menu {
    height: auto;

    -o-transition: height 1s linear 0s;
    transition: height 1s linear 0s;
}

(inspired from http://jsfiddle.net/ashukasama/2BqGY/)

A: You can use some CSS3 animations to achieve this effect.
#menu ul li ul{
  opacity:0;
  -webkit-transition: .6s ease;
  -moz-transition: .6s ease;
  -ms-transition: .6s ease;
  -o-transition: .6s ease;
  height: 0;
}

#menu ul li:hover ul {
  opacity: 1;
  height: 100px;
}

JSFIDDLE
radio active states
JSFIDDLE Radio
Stackoverflow Q
jQuery
$('.subMenu').on('click', function() {
  $('.subMenu ul').slideToggle(1000);
});

JSFIDDLE jQuery

A: i think this is better
#menu ul li ul{
  visibility: hidden;
  opacity: 0;
  transition: visibility 0s, opacity 0.5s linear;
  position: absolute;
}

#menu ul li:hover ul {
  visibility: visible;
  opacity: 1;
  position: relative;
}

Works great as well. Please do add prefixes. Hope this helps someone.

Recent decisions by the Texas Supreme Court have resulted in a "pro-enforcement" trend for covenants not to compete, and have eroded the holding in Light v. Centel Cellular Co. of Tex., 883 S.W.2d 642, 647 (Tex. 1994) requiring contemporaneous consideration to enforce a covenant not to compete against an at-will employee. Beginning with Alex Sheshunoff Mgmt. Serv., LP v. Johnson, 209 S.W.3d 644 (Tex. 2006), the Texas Supreme Court clarified Light's requirement of "an otherwise enforceable agreement" under the Texas Covenants Not To Compete Act, Tex. Bus. & Comm. Code §15.50 et. seq., by recognizing that a unilateral contract consisting of an employer's promise to give the employee confidential information would provide adequate consideration to support the covenant not to compete even if the promise was contingent on continued at-will employment. The trend continued with the decision in Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp Advisors, Inc. v. Fielding, 289 S.W.3d 844 (Tex. 2009), where the Court upheld a covenant without any explicit promise of the employer to give the employee confidential information. The "pro-enforcement" trilogy became complete with the decision in Marsh USA Inc. v. Cook, 354 S.W.3d 764 (Tex. 2011), in which the Court held that the grant of stock options was adequate consideration to support a covenant in order to protect the company's goodwill.
The decision in Drennen v. Exxon Mobil Corp., No. 14-10-01099-CV (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] Feb. 14, 2012) serves as a reminder that forfeiture agreements, treated as a covenant not to compete, must meet reasonable standards to be enforceable under Texas law. Drennen was a retired senior VP for ExxonMobil responsible for its exploration activities in the Western Hemisphere. Over the years, Drennen was awarded incentive compensation, including restricted stock and "earnings-bonus units." The incentive compensation program was created to reward high performing employees and to dissuade executive level employees from going to work for competitors by a provision that allowed ExxonMobil to cancel the incentive awards of employees who engage in "detrimental activity," creating a conflict of interest by becoming employed by a competitor of ExxonMobil. After Drennen announced his retirement but before he actually retired, he received a letter from ExxonMobil's counsel reminding him of his obligations to protect its confidential information and requesting he not, for a period of two years after his retirement, take a position with or provide services for another organization in the petroleum or petrochemical industry. After Dennen interviewed and accepted a position with Hess Corporation, a competitor, ExxonMobil informed him it was canceling all his incentive awards.
Drennen filed suit to prevent enforcement of the "detrimental activity" clause, which he argued was an unenforceable covenant not to compete because it did not contain any reasonable restrictions but was a drastic forfeiture clause. ExxonMobil responded by urging that the provision was not a covenant not to compete, but if it was, it was enforceable under New York law, which was specified as the choice of law in the agreement.
Although the Court of Appeals found such a clause would be enforceable under New York law, relying on a pre-Light decision, Peat Marwick Main & Co. v. Haass, 818 S.W.2d 381, 388 (Tex. 1991), the Court found the clause to function as a covenant not to compete by imposing a severe economic penalty on the departing employee if he engages in competition, and was unenforceable under Texas law because the detrimental activity provisions met none of the Act's requirements in §15.50(a) that the covenant contain reasonable limitations as to time, geographic area and scope of activity to be restrained.
The Court found that the choice of law provision inapplicable because the issue whether the non-competition agreement is enforceable is one which the parties could not resolve by an explicit contract provision. Since the gist of the agreement was personal services in Texas, and the issue of enforceability was a fundamental Texas public policy for employees working in the state, the Court found applying New York law would be contrary to that fundamental policy. See DeSantis v. Wackenhut Corp., 793 S.W.2d 670,682 (Tex. 1990). Because the detrimental activity provisions were unenforceable under Texas law, they could not support ExxonMobil's action canceling the incentive compensation awards to Drennan. See Frankiewicz v. Nat'l Comp Assocs., 633 S.W.2d 505, 507-08 (Tex. 1982) (holding that for purpose of money damages, a restrictive covenant must stand or fall as it is written).
Drennen serves as an important reminder that non-compete and forfeiture provisions in employment agreements must meet the Act's requirement of having reasonable restrictions, or risk being struck down as unenforceable under Texas law. Drennen further reminds drafters that insertion of an out of state choice of law provision will not salvage an otherwise unenforceable agreement. McDole Kennedy & Williams can review and assess the reasonableness of these and other provisions in company employment agreements and provide representation in litigation arising from breach of such agreements.

Good day, and good week. Welcome back to the Sunday Mise en Place (MeP). Due to an influx of visitors at the Green Onion Blog (GOB), this seems like a good time to rewind and recap what the hell the Mise en Place is all about.
The term 'mise en place' is a french culinary term for 'everything in its place'. I tend to use culinary terms on the GOB because I am a Red Seal Chef and the blog has a loose- extremely loose- theme of such. I title this weekly Sunday series the Mise en Place as a tool to organize myself, and give you, the readers, one place to go for all the GOB news and posts. Every Sunday I link all the weeks posts in this one convenient spot so you don't have to miss a thing. This includes all GOB posts, any guest posts, as well as Plog- the podcast in which I am one-half of. Also, as I use this day to plan my week of writing, blogging, and podcasting, I like to give a bit of a peak at what's upcoming.
The MeP is more than just a blog wrap up, I like to include a section simply called 'What's Going On', in which I share some of the highlights going on in my, and my families life. This is also a great place to keep an eye out for any big announcements as my writing career and projects take fold.
Without much more messing around I will get into it. So, what's going on?
This next week is looking crazy. I have a major freelance writing contract that is going to fill up most of my time. Which fits snuggly in a week that my partner Jenn is off to Winnipeg for yet another convention, for nursing, or geriatrics, or research, or something, its getting tough to keep track of what she is up to all the time. Anyways, its me and the kids this week, and it should be crazy.
For something fun this week, the kids and I went to a new comic convention. The first Foothills Comic Con. It was just a baby con. I like supporting these small start up cons though, as I would love for there to be more large nerd events. We had a great time, Alex got to wear her old Harley Quinn dress, she is such a future cosplayer. We saw some great cosplay, I was excited to see one young girl dressed as Ripley, with her little brother rocking a homemade Alien costume. Here's a pic of the kids when they got to meet a couple troopers!
Other than that little Zyler has not been feeling to well this week and it's been a lot of hanging around the house. Jenn's been crazy busy with school and her pursuit of her Master's degree. And Alex is in a massive dilemma as she tries to decide on just one Halloween costume.
Episode nine of Plog the podcast dropped on its regular day, Tuesday. A special edition podcast is all about Thanksgiving, cleverly titled Plogs-giving.
The first Top Ten in far too long, check out this break down of the best fictional bands!
For a fun Deconstructed, in which I break down random comic issues, yesterday featured a 90's What If… book with the X-Men. Check it out!
The tenth episode of Plog the podcast will be available on Tuesday! I'm getting ready to keep up a weekly review series hopefully launching this Wednesday. I will do a poll for this weeks Deconstructed so be sure to keep an eye out on the Twitter or Books Amino. And, as long as this contract doesn't kill me there should be a special post coming this week as well.
Thanks nerds and nerdettes, talk to you next Sunday!

The 2-Day Installation on the collaborative piece, Spark, will begin next week out at the Pickathon Music Festival in Happy Valley, Oregon. The support team is comprised of artists Terry Holloway and Cari Ingrassia, with the assistance of Meghan Horne-Brine and Jen Hagerman.
The crew will begin early in the morning on Tuesday installing the suspension rig with the goal of hanging all 5 LED lighting grids, as well as installing all 120 custom built LED lights. The day will conclude with an electrical test to access battery efficiency and note any changes to be made the next day.
Wednesday is reserved for attaching the "creative" pouches delicately around the LED lights. Workers will also be tasked with making any necessary adjustments that were noticed the night before. Once the pouches are in place, installation continues to the wiring and networking of all sensors and lights. Once everything is wired correctly, batteries will be installed and the whole installation will then be tested throughout the night to ensure all tech is running safely and properly.
Stay tuned here for more documentation during the installation process.

Turkey to donate 73,000 army uniforms to South Sudan
By Talkofjuba
According to the Turkish envoy to the country, Erdem Mutaf, the Turkish government is giving more than 73,000 army uniforms to South Sudan to help ensure security throughout the country's transitional period.
Mutaf told reporters that he spoke with Tut Galuak, the presidential security adviser, about "the Turkish government's decision to send more than 73,000 army uniforms for the use of united forces in South Sudan" at the government's request.
"This donation will let us contribute to the effective implementation of the revived peace deal in terms of the formation of unified forces," he said.
"We received the united forces needs list a while ago and sent it on to the necessary ministries through the Turkish Foreign Ministry," he added.
Mutaf also stated that Turkey had donated more than 32 tons of food to South Sudan in the last two years, and that the Turkish government will continue to help the country's peace process.
According to a 2018 peace agreement, the country must train and graduate an 83,000-strong unified force to take command of security during the transitional period until elections are held in 2023.
Due to unmet deadlines, the army's unification has been postponed.
Economic challenges in the country as a result of the more than the six-year conflict that began in December 2013 have further impeded the process.

A Guide To Parental Controls For Kids' Tech Use
Ben Zimmerman lives in a suburb of Chicago. Like a lot of 9-year-olds, he's fond of YouTube, Roblox, and Minecraft.
And, like a lot of parents, his mom and dad wanted to make sure Ben wasn't spending too much time on those activities. They tried to use Google's "Family Link" parental control software to limit screen time for Ben and his older sister, Claudia.
Ben went on YouTube to search for a workaround. When he couldn't find one, he figured one out himself. His dad, who happens to work in forensic data analysis, called it a "brute force attack."
Philip Zimmerman says he was "pretty impressed," with his son's resourcefulness. Ben comes off as what hackers call a white-hat, one of the good guys, especially since he told Dad right away. "I want [Google] to fix it so I can find another glitch for them to fix," Ben told NPR.
[A Google spokeswoman says they have fixed it.]
Screen time is a battle for many families. I've talked with parents who lock video game systems in the car overnight, hold on to iPad chargers, or who refuse to get a teen's cracked phone screen fixed, all to curb use.
Earlier this month, Apple became the latest company to announce they're arming parents with more technical weapons, by adding Screen Time and more parental controls to iOS. The company isn't alone — besides Google's Family Link, Disney has a product called Circle, and Amazon has FreeTime. Plus, there are more third-party apps, including Net Nanny and Qustodio, and devices, like Torch and unGlue.
All these products promise to help parents enforce time limits and steer kids to safer browsing or more positive activities with media.
"Our unofficial saying is, parents love it and kids hate it," says Jelani Memory, co-founder of Circle and a father of five with one on the way. "And if the kids hate it, that means it's working."
But parents are busy, and as the Zimmermans' experience shows, this isn't a fool-proof process. How do you make sense of all the different options out there?
Answer these questions to get you started.
1) Is your kid loyal to one device, or are you looking for a general fix?
Where you start will depend on how your offspring generally use tech. If they mostly stick to phones or tablets, you might appreciate the simplicity of a mobile-first solution. Apple's Screen Time and Parental Controls are designed for iOS devices, while Family Link is designed for Android devices; they're not optimized to control your kid's PC use, outside of the designated accounts.
Amazon's FreeTime, similarly, works best on Fire tablets and, to some extent, the Echo home assistant.
Net Nanny and Qustodio are software programs designed originally for the family PC, now with extensions to mobile.
Circle, Torch and unGlue are all hardware devices, designed to work at the level of the wifi router. They govern all the devices in your home, with extensions to mobile devices outside the home — more powerful, but also a touch more complicated to use.
Prices range from free (for Family Link, FreeTime and Parental Controls) to $50 a year or more.
2) How much control do you want? How much time do you have?
Pretty much every parental control lets you set time limits, whether daily maximums, bedtime, or a pause for family dinner.
Beyond that, you can filter categories of sites, or block all sites and apps by default and whitelist only approved ones. You can also limit time by category, such as games or social media.
These apps also all give some insight into your kids' particular browsing habits. Apple's new controls in particular are based around detailed dashboards of use, which are delivered to both child and parent. The idea here is that shining a light on behavior is the best way to motivate positive change. However, reviewing that information will take time.
If you want to get finer-grained, unGlue and Circle are designed to make it easier for parents to use screen time as a reward for chores or other good behavior.
Amazon's FreeTime has a feature called "learn first" that requires kids to read or work on educational apps before they unlock entertainment content.
And Net Nanny emphasizes filtering porn and other objectionable content. It will even obscure swear words on your child's Facebook wall.
4) Is your kid bought-in? Do they understand the reason behind the rules?
YouTube, Reddit and other sites are full of kids like Ben sharing ideas on how to bypass parental controls. Some children are born rule-followers; others will delight in finding hacks. For a few, sneaking around and breaking rules to consume more media can be a clinical sign of a problematic relationship to electronic devices.
Kurt Beidler, General Manager, Amazon Kids and Family, says no software can replace good old-fashioned parenting. "If you unilaterally just go in and set limits without talking to your child," he says, "you're going to incent your child to work around those limits, because they're not bought into that contract."
Beidler and Circle's Jelani Memory dream of a day where parental controls are used for more than cutting screen time: "To really expand beyond the fences and the restrictions and keep adding things like a way to create screen time goals," says Memory.
For example, What about parental nudges, to work on coding or video editing? Or prompts to start a conversation over a kid's favorite game or app? "Not all screen time is equal," says Beidler. "There's a lot of things kids can do on devices that are really good."
In the meantime, Philip Zimmerman went for his own "brute-force attack" — now that the weather's nicer, he simply took Ben's phone away altogether.

At its core, radmind operates as a tripwire. It is able to detect changes to any managed filesystem object, e.g. files, directories, links, etc. However, radmind goes further than just integrity checking: once a change is detected, radmind can optionally reverse the change.
Each managed machine may have its own loadset composed of multiple, layered overloads. This allows, for example, the operating system to be described separately from applications.
Loadsets are stored on a remote server. By updating a loadset on the server, changes can be pushed to managed machines.

Report Highlights. Educational attainment among 25- to 29-year-olds in the United States has risen at every level by as much as 80% since the year 2000.
94% of 25- to 29- year-olds have a high school diploma.
The likelihood an individual will live with a spouse increases with educational attainment by 4%.
The likelihood an individual will be employed within the civilian workforce increases with educational attainment by 6%.
For Black and Latino/Hispanic students, there are fewer and fewer students at the higher levels of education – their population size shrinks by 27% at each educational tier.

For our purposes, educational attainment refers to the highest completed level of education. A high school graduate or equivalent (ex., GED) with college credits but no degree is counted among high school graduates in the data below. Official sources report data divided into two sex-based categories: male and female. Additional categorical data is unavailable, and the terms "sex" and "gender" are used interchangeably.
The 9% of Americans who earn a master's degree or higher increase their employability by a little less than 3%.
Educational success directly correlates with success in marriage and homeownership.
Gender gaps continue to widen in unexpected ways while racial disparities slowly shrink.
High School Diploma Statistics
The gender gap among high school graduates has stagnated in recent years. In 2019, among high school graduates, the male-to-female ratio was almost 1-to-1. Some racial gaps among high school graduates decreased from 2000-2019. Attainment has improved across the board though disparities remain.
Data indicates that 60% of 25- to 29-year-olds without a high school diploma or equivalent (such as a General Educational Development certification or GED) achieve that level of education after a few years away from school.
86% of 18- to 24-year-old women and 83% of 18- to 24-year-old men have a high school diploma or equivalent.
Among that group, 69% of the women and 60% of the men go on to higher education before the age of 24.
While Latino/Hispanic retention increased by 23%, this demographic has yet to attain a graduation rate in the 90th percentile.
There were also significant increases in attainment among American Indian/Alaska Native and Pacific Islander demographics, which improved by 16% and 15%, respectively.
Occupations for High School Diplomas
About half of high school-level attainers over the age of 25 work in the civilian job force. Their top occupations are service, office and administrative, and transportation and logistics positions. Wholesale retail and trade, education and health, and manufacturing are the industries that employ the largest percentage of this demographic.
4% were unemployed.
42% were not employed in the civilian labor force.
55% were employed as civilians.
Marriage Status Among High School Diploma Holders
In 2019, about half of Americans with a high school attainment level were married. Roughly half owned their own homes, with mortgages averaging $50,000 apiece.
54% were married.
22% had never married.
15% were divorced or separated.
9% were widowed.

Racial Demographics of Associate Degree Holders
In every racial category, more people are entering post-secondary education. Patterns in race distribution at this level are similar to those at the high school level. Many disparities have either remained level or decreased; think tanks and education specialists attribute decreases to greater understanding of how racial bias in education can degrade student aptitude.
In the past 20 years, Latino/Hispanic retention has increased by 107%.
In 2000, White students were almost three times (193%) more likely to earn an associate's degree. than their Latino/Hispanic counterparts.
By 2019, this gap had narrowed significantly, though White students are still 81% more likely to graduate.
Similarly, White students' retention rate was 70% higher than Black students' in 2000.
By 2019, White students' graduation rate was down to 40% higher than their Black counterparts.
Occupations for Associate degree holders
Unemployment is only 2% for associate's degree holders. While service positions remain among the top three occupations, an associate's degree significantly increases the likelihood of holding a professional or management position.
The top 3 employing industries are education and health, wholesale retail and trade, and professional and business services.
67% were employed civilians.
The majority of associate degree holders – over 28% – work in the educational and health services industry.
Wholesale and retail, professional and business industries employed the 2nd and 3rd largest blocs of associate degree holders.

Racial Demographics of Bachelor Degree Holders
Racial inequality is greater among those with bachelor's and higher degrees. Patterns in race distribution at this level are similar to those at lower levels, with Latino/Hispanic retention up by 110%. The gap between Latino/Hispanic and White is still 114%; the gap between White and Black is 55%, shrinking from 89% in 2000.
In 2019, White 25- to 29-year-olds were 55% more likely than their Black counterparts to have bachelor's degrees or higher.
In 2000, however, the gap between these groups was closer to 89%.
Between Whites and Latino/Hispanics in this age group, the 2019 gap was 114%.
Occupations for Bachelor degree holders
A bachelor's degree significantly increases the likelihood of working in management. In 2019, the top occupations among this demographic include sales and professional titles. Education and health is the top industry.
The educational and health services industry employs the largest demographic of bachelor degree holders – more than 24%.
Professional and business industries, and the financial industry are the second and third largest employers of people with a bachelor's degree.

The gender gap among those over 25 years old favored men by 73%.
Racial Demographics of Master's Degree Holders and Higher
Racial inequality is worst at the highest education levels. There are few statistics available regarding race and ethnic distribution at this level, so it is difficult to detect patterns.
Asians are 5 times more likely than Latino/Hispanics to hold an advanced degree.
Asian attainment is at least 92% higher than other races.
The gap between White and Black is 44%, which is the 2nd widest after the Bachelor level.
