This is correct, thanks for posting it.
You can enter as many as you want, but only one from each category will be judged.
Thanks a lot Necro! And thank you Myz for clarifying.
All Stats + 2 for 5 minutes.
First you start off with the hardest step... Getting the raw bacon.
After that, get some baking chocolate, and wax paper.
Next step is to cook the bacon, either stove top or microwave.
After the bacon is cooked we need to put it aside and melt the chocolate. Microwave or stove top.
First we break up the chocolate into a bowl, then stir it while it is melting.
After melting the chocolate, stir it until there are no lumps.
Next up is coating the bacon in chocolate then putting it on wax paper.
Once you have covered the bacon in chocolate put them in the refrigerator till they are solid.
Take out and break off any excess chocolate if needed.
I had the day off today so I took advantage of it. Really simple to make, but tastes amazing.
ugh savage bebe bacon. me want.

5. Start forming your little Stapos (balls of dough) and place them on a oiled baking tray.
Edited by bunnywunny, 19 November 2015 - 03:21 AM.
Guys, I dunno which one of my ideas to pick as my submission. :< Help, please. I have two people voting on the Nacho Sombrero, but that's a headgear so I dunno if it counts for the contest since it's not a consumable (it's an item that generates a consumable).
Thanks, I wanted to make the cup into something the Umbalans use, but all I was able to find in Umbala were barrels and imported pottery. Since they have better access to wood material than clay, I assume their drinkware would be a wooden cup of some sort. Tried to steer away from the typical stein cups you usually see root beer advertised in since that's overdone.
Effect: Dispell all buff and stats. Add a low chance to add Critical Wound for 1 minute.
1KG mince meat, chopped onion, flour, salt, pepper. Make balls.
Put the onion into the pot and stir fry with a bit oil.
Put tomato paste and some of diced tomato. Put the chopped carrot in as well. Don't forget to put crushed dry chilli otherwise it won't be SPICY BALLS.
Put some herbs. In this case I put Oregano to give great smell and flavour in the sauce. Simmer on low~medium heat until the balls firm (about 30 min).
Ready to eat with rice bread or only balls itself if you like.
Description: Made with remnants of Entweihen Crothen, this liquid emits a strange floral fragance.
Effect: Transforms into Entweihen Crothen. Hard MDEF +10 for 5 minutes.
Edited by meli, 03 December 2015 - 10:35 AM.
Description: A fresh sweet salad made of exotic young flowers and fruits, and is well-known in Ayothaya.
Increase effectiveness of received healing by 1%. Increase the recovery rate of the Mastela Fruit by 15%.

Democrat canvassers in disputed Michigan county doxxed and harassed Republican colleagues
It was after the doxxing and harassment that the two who had declined to certify the county, over reported voter irregularities, did succumb to abuse and criticism and reverse their decision.
Nov 18, 2020 minute read
Wayne County, Mich., home of Detroit, was the subject of controversy on Tuesday, as the board of canvassers first deadlocked and did not certify the county's election results due to discrepancies, but then backtracked and certified them for Biden.
Criticism of the two Republican canvassers, Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, was swift, fierce, and abusive. Their refusal to certify Wayne County was called racist.
Abraham Aiyash, a Democratic organizer and the representative elect for Michigan's 4th House of Representatives district, said:
"You are standing here today telling folks that black Detroit should not have their votes counted. And know the facts: you are certainly showing that you are a racist. You may say that you are not, you may claim that you are not, but let's be very clear," he said, before telling everyone where she lived.
"Your words today and your actions today made it clear that you are okay with silencing the votes of an 80 percent African American city. And what that tell us, Ms. Palmer from Grosse Pointe Woods, that has a history of racism, are deciding to enable and perpetuate the racist history of this country."
You named the school her children went to while screaming that she was a racist.
You went after her kids.
It is on video, you can't lie and dissemble your way out of this. https://t.co/5w1p6hDNhn
— Jack Posobiec ?? (@JackPosobiec) November 18, 2020
Aiyash tried to walk back what he had said.
He's trying to dissemble his way out of this, and it's not going well pic.twitter.com/2XWvINXdrJ
Aiyash was not the only one who lashed out against Palmer. Another man on the call said that the reasons for the two Republicans to not certify the elections was a result of Palmer and Hartmann's "racism."
"I just want to let you know: the Trump-stink, the stain of racism that you, William Hartmann and Monica Palmer, will follow you throughout history. Your grandchildren are going to think of you like Bull Connor or George Wallace. Monica Palmer and William Hartmann will forever be known in Southeastern Michigan as two racists who did something so unprecedented that they disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of black voters in the city of Detroit because they were ordered to. Probably, Monica, you did it because you think Q told you to, or some other crazy stuff like that.
"But just know that when you try to sleep tonight, that millions of people around the world now on Twitter know the name Monica Palmer and William Hartmann as two people completely racist and without an understanding of what integrity means or a shred of human decency. The law isn't on your side, history won't be on your side, your conscience will not be on your side, and lord knows when you go to meet your maker, your soul will be very, very warm."
Take note what happened tonight. 2 Republican officials in MI stood up to the machine. Within minutes they were doxxed, threatened, and CNN/Politico labeled them racists. Where does this behavior lead?
It was after this public pushback against the canvassers that the two who had declined to certify the county, over reported voter irregularities, did succumb to abuse and criticism and reverse their decision.
In addition to the abuse on the Zoom call, users on Twitter posted Palmer's home address, and the identity of her husband's employer.
The vote was then taken again, and the vote to certify was unanimous.
Really frustrating thing is that the board was muted for about five minutes and came back on and basically said never mind, we changed our minds and certified the results. No explanation. https://t.co/fL9aEsQJfr
— Kathy Gray (@michpoligal) November 18, 2020
The original decision, split along party lines, was made by two Democrats and two Republicans who could not come to an agreement over absentee ballot poll books were found to be out-of-balance. This was not entirely unusual for the county, where similar discrepancies did not prevent the certification of an August primary, or the 2016 presidential election.
President Trump claimed that there were more votes in Detroit than there are people, and claimed the state as a win. It was quickly labeled by Twitter as in dispute.
In Detroit, there are FAR MORE VOTES THAN PEOPLE. Nothing can be done to cure that giant scam. I win Michigan!

Q: Condition for constructive interference is that one wave has to be a $\lambda$ ahead of the other These are the definitions in my book:

*

*Constructive interference: When waves from two sources meet and the amplitude of the resultant wave is greater than the amplitudes of each of the individual waves, the waves are said to undergo constructive interference.

*Amplitude: The maximum distance of any particle from its undisturbed position.

*In order for waves to undergo constructive interference, they must be a $\lambda$ ahead of the other.

Consider the wave (1+2) here. The amplitude of the wave (the maximum distance from its rest position) is clearly greater than the amplitude of any of the individual waves. Yet, they are not a $\lambda$ away from each other...

A: The condition you are mentioning is restricted to the case of two waves that have the same wavelength. These two waves do not have the same wavelength. Constructive interference is a more general thing where if two peaks line up, then they add together to make something larger; conversely, destructive interference occurs when the two waves overlap when the peak of one overlaps with the minimum of another.  Since these two waves have slightly different wavelengths, sometimes their peaks overlap and sometimes the peak of one overlaps with the minimum of the other. Thus, you get periodic variations in the amplitude in the superposition of the waves.  This phenomenon is called "beats" or "beating".

When: The best times to visit Barcelona
If you're heading to the city early on in the year then you'll be happy to know that from the 7th of January the infamous winter sales begin and shops across the city slash their prices up to 50% or 70%. The sales also make a welcome return in July and there are many discounts just before Christmas at the Barcelona Shopping Night, perfect for hen weekends in Barcelona. For the best weather you'll want to visit the city between March-September, though if you want to avoid the crowds you should go in spring or autumn when there's still usually a sunny climate. If you're going to Barcelona in April keep in mind that Easter is the most important religious celebration of the year in Barcelona - they put on a huge parade and people flock to the big religious buildings. In August there are lots of local street parties and then in September there's the La Merce Festival which is one of the most important Catalan traditions. In October there's the 48 hours Open House Festival where you can see all the various works of Gaudi as well as other big sights for free. Then over Christmas there's the huge Fira de Santa Llucia Christmas market - definitely worth a visit for incredible Christmas lights, amazing food and a jovial atmosphere!


Woody debris is a natural component of streams, forming clusters and dams; slowing water velocity, trapping sediment, and creating a range of different in-stream habitats that are important for fish and invertebrates.
Due to land use change and the legacy of river management practices which involved removing woody debris from rivers and streams, naturally occurring woody structures are often largely absent or reduced throughout catchments in England.
Sussex Flow Initiative aims to utilise cutting edge Natural Flood Management research to inform the reintroduction or 'installation' of woody structures of different designs in streams within the Ouse catchment. Individually the structures may look relatively insignificant, however collectively they can help to significantly reduce and delay the movement of water downstream during flood events.
We have been working with landowners and smallholders, to support the installation of woody debris in small streams within the Ouse catchment. If you are interested in utilising these techniques on your land please get in touch.
Banktop diverters are created by positioning and fixing large woody debris across the banktop in streams and ditches. These structures are only active during high flows when they hold water back and encourage it out onto the floodplain.
Leaky dams are similar in construction to banktop diverters, with the addition of woody debris within the channel, meaning that these structures are active at all flows, but are constructed to allow fish passage. Leaky dams can also provide habitat and encourage more diverse spatial patterns of flow and substrate.
Deflectors are constructed using large logs or living trees (e.g. willow) that do not span the full channel width, but are positioned to extend into the channel and are anchored or dug into the bank. They are particularly useful in larger streams and rivers where water can be channeled into temporary storage areas (floodplains, ponds) or at locations where the river has been historically straightened, as they can be used to encourage meander formation (where land use allows).
Gully stuffing is typically used on ditches draining woodland, and uses smaller logs and brash positioned longitudinally to slow the flow of water and trap sediment.
• We can 'install' woody structures in small streams or ditches of low-moderate gradient.
• Ideally streams will have some surrounding woodland to provide materials.


your treasures of wisdom and love.
that we can never exhaust their wisdom.
in which we grow day after day.
in ourselves and among people far and near.
In the first reading of today we hear Paul speak with conviction and enthusiasm about his mission of preaching the gospel. It is a glorious task. We can feel how the gospel fills him and has become the sole meaning of his life. Let Christ also be the meaning of our lives. If so, we cannot but preach him by our words and our way of life.
It is strange how, as we read in the Gospel, faithful, practicing religious people, like the scribes and Pharisees—the regular churchgoers of their day—were a big obstacle to the work of Jesus. They are upset and angry because Jesus cures a man with a withered hand on the day of the Lord. Jesus came to do good and to preserve life, as he said, to carry out a mission of love and life, and these cannot be adequately expressed in laws and commands. We may and should do good also on Sundays!
of our faith in your Son Jesus Christ.
and given us his body to eat.
or think we have exhausted it.
and in the language of our lives.
In Christ are found all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. It is him we have to proclaim with our lives and to become mature in him. May God bless you all, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.


For just over ten years, the 501 Building was our home. And we loved it. We loved the view, the vibrant downtown energy and the convenient access to the Golden Tee machine in MC's Dugout.
But at some point "cozy" becomes "cramped." And no matter how many times we climbed them, we never really got over the breathless wave of exhaustion that hits you about 2/3 of the way up those 63 stairs. It was time to go.
So we've expanded and upgraded and comfortably settled into our spacious new home at 330 Hwy 10, Suite 4, in St. Cloud.
Come visit us in our new digs!
We'd love to show you around, get to know your business and talk about some possibilities. Because we believe it should be our websites that take your breath away. Not the hike up to our office.

Are you taking notes a lot and are you fed up with having to search for all your information in many single documents? Would you like to try something that helps you in your everyday document management? You have come to the right place! Super Diary is a powerful multi-purpose program for your daily document management, private or business. It will soon become indespensable for you - it sure has for me!. The program's main purpose is organizing and collecting text documents (and audio clips), but there is a lot more to discover in this program.
Super Diary - Notes Section Write your daily notes with the diary program, using a sophisticated word processor, style sheets, images, tables and hyperlinks. Each day can have an unlimited number of entries, organized in folders and subfolders inside a tree view on the left hand side of the editor. Open as many documents as you like at the same time (organized with tabs on the bottom of the document view). You can even open the same document several times and work on different sections at the same time!
Import existing text documents in *.doc, *.docx, *.rtf, *.html and *.txt format. Export your entries in *.doc, *.docx, *.rtf, *.html and *.txt and also *.pdf format, without using an external program. You can print or export several entries into one new document, with optional title / date information and page numbers.
The notes section is able to organize documents that are not connected to a specific date. The entries can be organized inside folders and subfolders, like in the journal section. You can create new folders and subfolders, rename and delete them and move your entries around in the tree structure. Taking and finding information has never been more intuitive and practical - now you can have all your scattered documents all in one program! Just press the shortcut (user-definable) and the program shows up and hides in the system tray, when you don't need it anymore.


Online casino and sportsbook operator, Betway Limited, has announced the signing of a three-year deal that has seen it become the official betting partner for German top-flight football club, Fortuna Dusseldorf.
According to an official press release published by boutique gaming event organizer, European Gaming Media and Events, United Kingdom and Malta-licensed Betway Limited is principally responsible for the domain at Betway.com and explained that its agreement with the Dusseldorf-based team is set to run until the conclusion of the 2020/21 season.
Betway Limited detailed that it has served as the principal sponsor of English Premier League side West Ham United since 2005 while also having a similar partnership in place with Bundesliga constant Werder Bremen.

Q: startActivity is not starting my Activity in Android I have an Activity name "IntroActivity" that is the "Launcher" activity for the app and after some decision making opens up a new Activity named "HomeActivity".
In my HomeActivity I have an ActionBar with a "Log Out" Action (which is in the menu but set to appear as an Action) which is supposed to do some operations and return the user to the "IntroActivity".
However, the startActivity method used inside HomeActivity does not work and there are no errors generated. I have debugged the code and the onOptionsItemSelected method is definitely executed as is the correct case inside. Here is the code:
HomeActivity:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_standard, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.menu_standard_settings:{
            // TODO
            return true;
        }

        case R.id.menu_standard_logout:{
            //Set logged in to false and then return the user to the intro page
            SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
            editor.putBoolean("logged_in", false);
            Intent introIntent = new Intent(this, IntroActivity.class);
            startActivity(introIntent);

            return true;
        }

    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

The Manifest includes:
 <activity
       android:name="com.kennel39.diabeteslive_adtdev.IntroActivity"
       android:label="@string/app_name" >
       <intent-filter>
           <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
           <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
       </intent-filter>
 </activity>

I'm not sure what else I can provide that will be of use but I will quickly post up any extra parts if required.
Thanks in advance,
Josh

A: I think you miss commit the shared preference after setting loggedIn as false. So your flag is not updated and your intro activity again redirect you to home activity.
Try
editor.commit();

A: From what I can see, you miss two things to make things work:

*

*Add editor.commit(); just after editor.putBoolean("logged_in", false); in order to save your value "logged_in"

*Add finish(); between startActivity(introIntent); and return true;

Screamfest Review: The Amityville Murders – Family Dies
Fred Topel October 12, 2018 0 likes
Amityville is actually one of the franchises I have not seen entirely. Every time I do see one, it discourages me from filling in the gaps. After The Amityville Murders it's probably going to be a while before I see another Amityville movie.
The Amityville Murders tells the story of the DeFeo family, whose murder predated the Lutz family moving into the house. It plays out exactly as the backstory from the 1979 movie and its 2005 remake said it did.
Murders tries to make you care about the DeFeo family but it's not really equipped to do so. Ronnie (Paul Ben-Victor) is abusive and especially hard on his oldest son Butch (John Robinson), who is still at home because he couldn't get into Syracuse University. Louise (Diane Franklin) tries to be a loving mother and manage her husband, but we also learn they're talking about selling the family house (which in hindsight could have meant they'd still be alive today).
So these were real people and Ronnie was allegedly abusive. Portraying him as a stereotypical mob goon who takes it out on the women in his family belittles the true gravity of abuse. If this man really did abuse his wife and daughters and sons, they deserve better than a superficial take on their struggle.
Every time there is a serious dramatic scene that's supposed to endear the DeFeo's to you, you're taken out of it by stilted lines like, "Hey, shut your trap." Maybe that was a common expression in 1974 but it sounds like a first draft in 2018. Musical stings to add gravitas to mundane events like a bird crashing into a window go so far over the top that it makes them seem ridiculous, not foreboding.
Butch and his sister Dawn (Chelsea Ricketts) hold a seance in the basement and after that Butch starts getting sick and seeing things (he also does drugs, but the movie never really considers that they had an impact. It was the '70s, man.)
The supernatural occurrences are all things we've seen before, too often: being pulled by an unseen force, levitating objects, bloody visions, flashes of demon faces… I mean, if this all really happened, as many believe it did, then they predate Paranormal Activity but there's got to be a way to make it compelling in 2018.
The filmmakers seem focused on getting cool shots, and they do manage some. One scene has the shadow of Ronnie speak to Butch, and there are some elegant camera moves, but what is going on within those frames is just blunt.
The Amityville Murders is the type of horror movie intended to make you feel miserable, so when it's not visceral it's just no fun at all. It stalls interminably to get to the inevitable end which, even if you didn't already know the story, is confirmed in the movie's very first scene.
If you really need to know what happened in the DeFeo killings, The Amityville Murders opens on the anniversary of their deaths November 13. Hopefully there will be better movies to discover at Screamfest this week.

Q: Multiple images sent to smtp server in a loop For Raspberry Pi 3, I ran the following program, aiming to send a camera captured new image to a Gmail account, every 2 mins. However a problem occurred. In the first transmission, the captured image was sent. In the second transmission, both the first image and the newly taken image were sent. In the third transmission, three images were sent. I am new to Python. Could anybody provide some clues? Your help is much appreciated.
import smtplib
import time
from email.mime.multipart  import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text  import MIMEText
from email.mime.base  import MIMEBase
from email.mime.image  import MIMEImage

from picamera  import PiCamera
camera = PiCamera()
camera.rotation = 180

fromaddr = "jsmith05@yahoo.com.au"
toaddr = "jsmith05@gmail.com"

msg1 = MIMEMultipart()
msg1['From'] = fromaddr
msg1['To'] = toaddr
msg1['Subject'] = "Screenshot of room"

while True:

    camera.start_preview(alpha=200)
    time.sleep(5)
    camera.capture('/home/pi/Desktop/image.jpg')

A: In fact, you are sending the same message, with more content, over and over again. Move this :
msg1 = MIMEMultipart()
msg1['From'] = fromaddr
msg1['To'] = toaddr
msg1['Subject'] = "Screenshot of room"

In your while block and you should be fine

Is Chris Evans Dating His Co-Star?
"He's Captain America, how could we ever connect?"
Movie hunk Chris Evans has been romantically linked to newly-single Jenny Slate, his co-star in upcoming movie "Gifted".
The funnywoman and the "Captain America" actor, who are both 34, have become close off set, according to America's Us Weekly magazine, and sources claim Jenny is now dating Chris after splitting from her filmmaker husband Dean Fleischer-Camp earlier this month.
It was apparent she's a big fan of the muscular actor when she cooed about her co-star on Anna Farris' Unqualified podcast last month, revealing she didn't quite know what to expect when she learned she'd be teaming up with Marvel's "Captain America".
"I was a little scared because I kind of felt like, 'Well, I don't know him (and) he's a giant man with huge muscles - and he's Captain America'," she said. "How could we ever connect? (But the) first night that we hung out, I was like, 'Wow, I could hang out with Chris for, like, 90 hours'."
In the joint interview, Chris appeared to reciprocate Jenny's feelings, saying, "Oddly enough, I've only known Jenny for a few months, which is insane to say because we're like the same animal."
Jenny's split from her-ex Dean has reportedly been an amicable one, with a source telling Us Weekly, "It wasn't a bad break-up."
U.S. audiences will be able to see Jenny and Chris on big screen together when Gifted, which follows the fortunes of a man attempting to raise his dead sister's daughter, hits cinemas later this year. The movie is directed by "The Amazing Spider-Man" filmmaker Marc Webb.

Marcus Hinterberger (* 8. August 2000 in Zell am See) ist ein österreichischer Musiker und Satiriker aus Saalbach-Hinterglemm. Sein "Ischgl Blues" und die Wut der Ischgler Seilbahnbetreiber darüber machten ihn im Corona-Herbst 2020 über Nacht schlagartig bekannt. 2022 wurde er für seine Projekte mit dem Hubert-von-Goisern Kulturpreis ausgezeichnet.

Leben
Marcus Hinterberger wuchs im Salzburger Skiort Saalbach-Hinterglemm auf und besuchte dort die Volksschule, danach das Gymnasium Saalfelden, wo er im Sommer 2018 maturierte. Anschließend begann er ein Studium für Medientechnik und -design an der FH Oberösterreich Hagenberg. Im Herbst 2019 wechselte er an die Athanor Akademie für Theater und Film.

Musikalische Laufbahn

Anfänge
Nachdem Hinterberger sich im Medientechnik-Studium zu wenig gefordert fühlte, kaufte er sich im Herbst 2018 eine Gitarre und lernte mit YouTube autodidaktisch das Spielen. Nach einem Jahr veröffentlichte er erste Coverversionen von Elvis Presley, den Beatles und Johnny Cash auf YouTube und begann, erste eigene Lieder in Mundart zu verfassen. Während des ersten Corona-Lockdowns im Frühjahr 2020 veröffentlichte er sein erstes eigenes Lied "Das Quarantäne-Lied", über eine gescheiterte Paarbeziehung im Lockdown, später auch den "Ibiza-Song"; beide Videos blieben mit ein paar tausend Klicks jedoch wenig erfolgreich.

Ischgl Blues
Nachdem Hinterberger in den Medien von Ideen Ischgler Hotliers hörte, mit Luxus-Tourismus neue Gäste anzulocken, schrieb er den "Ischgl-Blues", in dem er sich über Porsche-fahrende Hotelierssöhne und protzige Seilbahn-Vorstände lustig macht. Nachdem er den "Ischgl Blues" im Herbst 2020 ins Netz stellte, folgten starke negative Reaktionen von Ischglern über das Video, was von vielen Medien als Shitstorm bezeichnet wurde. Der Tourismusobmann von Hinterbergers Heimatgemeinde Saalbach-Hinterglemm meldete sich bei seinen Eltern und bat, das Video aus dem Netz zu nehmen. Hinterberger nahm sein Video zunächst tatsächlich vom Netz. Eine Woche später bekam Hinterberger einen Brief des Vorstands der Silvretta Seilbahnen AG, in dem er als "Möchtegernkünstler" und er oder sein Werk als "primitiv" und "niveaulos" bezeichnet wurde. Hinterberger sendete dieses Schreiben an den bayrischen Liedermacher Hans Söllner und erzählte ihm seine Geschichte. Dieser war angetan von Hinterbergers satirischem Werk und veröffentlichte sein Lied erneut auf seiner Facebook-Seite. Es wurde abermals schnell geteilt und entwickelte sich zum viralen Hit. Es folgten zahlreiche Medienanfragen; insgesamt wurde das Video über 400.000 Mal aufgerufen. Der gesamte Ablauf um den "Ischgl-Blues" ist ein Beispiel für den sogenannten Streisand-Effekt.

Im Februar 2021 nahm Hinterberger mit dem "Ischgl-Blues" beim FM4-Protestsongcontest teil und gewann dabei die Publikumswertung. Insgesamt belegte er den 4. Platz.

Bürgermeister Blues
Im Oktober 2021 veröffentlichte Hinterberger den "Bürgermeister Blues", in dem er den Ausverkauf der Berge und die Korruption in Tourismus-Dörfern anprangert. Ein Shitstorm wie beim Ischgl-Blues blieb aus, jedoch bekam Hinterberger mit seinem Anliegen Unterstützung auf politischer Ebene: Die österreichische Politikerin Beate Meinl-Reisinger, Klubobfrau der NEOS, teilte Hinterbergers Lied auf Twitter und stärkte ihm den Rücken.

Hubert von Goisern Kulturpreis
Im Mai 2022 wird Hinterberger für seine Projekte mit dem Hubert-von-Goisern-Kulturpreis ausgezeichnet. Hinterbergers Songs "sind beseelt von einem Widerstandsgeist gegen eine Gesellschaft, in der das Geschäft einiger weniger über das Gemeinwohl gestellt wird", heißt es in der Begründung. Neben Hinterberger werden auch die in Wien lebende britisch-österreichische Sängerin und Musikerin Alicia Danner sowie die Vorarlbergerin Ingrid Hofer ausgezeichnet.

Q: CBPeripheralManager Delays stopAdvertising / Location Manager ranges stopped iBeacon I am working with two iOS devices, one is set up as an iBeacon.
I am ranging the beacon with a second iOS device and can grab its state via:
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
       didRangeBeacons:(NSArray *)beacons
              inRegion:(CLBeaconRegion *)region{}

When I stop advertising on the iBeacon, the location manager on the second device continues to range/recognize the iBeacon for 5-10 seconds.
Is this expected behaviour?
Does the peripheralManager take time to wind down?

A: I have a setup with dedicated BTLE hardware running as iBeacons.
Actually it takes 20-30s to stop calling locationManager:didRangeBeacons:inRegion: and after that it calls locationManager:didExitRegion:
In my understanding it makes sense and it's exactly what CL is looking for because the device needs some time to make sure it really exited the region.
On the other hand, it starts ranging for beacons almost instantly after you fire the beacon up. There's no reason to wait to start ranging.
If you inspect the proximity property of the beacon you will notice that it's CLProximityUnknown during that time. Maybe you can do something with this state to do what you need.

UPDATE: Watch our new video about the spawn of the Guardian of the Hole: "Video: How Much Is That 'Spider Butterfly' in the Window?"
For Asia Society Museum, Choe has created a kinetic, seal-like creature that appears to be breathing while dozens of intricate "wings," leaf-like and gold in color, flutter above him. Guardian of the Hole (Custos Cavum in Latin) is the name of the piece, and its creation was inspired by a 10th-century Indian sculpture, Shiva as Lord of Dance (see image below), part of the Asia Society's Mr. And Mrs. John D. Rockefeller III Collection. The exhibition is part of an ongoing In Focus series in which contemporary artists create new works inspired by Asia Society's permanent collection.
According to Choe's story, Custos Cavum guards the flow of communication between two realms. Just as the Hindu god Shiva represents balance and harmony, the Guardian is also a symbol of coexistence.
In an interview with Asia Society, Choe said, "I wanted to feel and express the cycle of life and the history of the universe. It was interesting to me that the metaphors in ancient mythologies could still apply to modern society."
Born in South Korea, Choe says the source of his creativity is "completely genetic." His parents were sculptors and his grandfather, a mechanic.
Read the complete interview and visit the exhibition site to learn more. View some of Choe's early sketches of Custos Cavum below.

"Nick Cave: Until"
Nick Cave's "Soundsuits"―brightly colored wearable sculptures adorned with buttons, hair, toys and other found objects―have made him one of the best-known contemporary artists. This book documents his most extensive work to date, turning his art inside out. "Until" fills MASS MoCA's football field- sized gallery, without a single Soundsuit to be found. Instead Cave takes us inside one of his iconic sculptures with an immersive environment populated by an array of found objects, echoing some of Cave's and America's most confounding dilemmas: gun violence, racial inequality, injustice within our cities' police departments, and death.
An installation diary and images reveal how an idea becomes reality. "Until" also incorporates special appearances by dancers, singer/ songwriters, and poets, as well as community forums, and opportunities for public debate and engagement. Transcripts of the first of these events accompany the book's illustrations, as well as an essay by exhibition Curator Denise Markonish, commentary by David Byrne and Lori E. Lightfoot that contextualizes Cave's work against today's headlines, and an excerpt from Claudia Rankine's "Citizen: An American Lyric."

"Felix Gonzalez-Torres: Specific Objects Without Specific Form"
Between 2010 and 2011, curator Elena Filipovic along with artists Danh Vo, Carol Bove and Tino Sehgal, organized a Felix Gonzalez-Torres exhibition across three institutions: WIELS Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels; Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel; and MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt. With the visual and conceptual potential of Gonzalez-Torres' work in mind, Filipovic devised an exhibition structure that entailed two autonomous-yet-adjacent exhibitions of his work at each of the three venues: one iteration by her, and one by Vo, Bove and Sehgal respectively.
This volume follows the show's structure. Each venue has a dedicated section, which includes a preface by Filipovic, photographic documentation of each exhibition and a contribution by Vo, Bove and Sehgal reflecting upon their positions as curators of Gonzalez-Torres' work. An illustrated checklist documents each of the 85 works by Gonzalez-Torres featured in all their iterations.

O Reino de Jerusalém ou Reino Latino de Jerusalém, como também era designado, foi um Estado cruzado criado no Levante em 1099 pela Primeira Cruzada. Teve a sua capital em Jerusalém e mais tarde em Acre. Foi extinto em 1291, com a queda desta última cidade.

Fundação e história remota
O reino surgiu após a captura de Jerusalém pelos cruzados em 1099, o ponto alto da Primeira Cruzada. Godofredo de Bulhão, um dos líderes, tornou-se o seu primeiro monarca, mas preferiu adotar o título de Advocatus Sancti Sepulchri ("Defensor do Santo Sepulcro") no lugar do de rei, ao argumento de que nenhum homem deveria envergar uma coroa onde Jesus havia usado a coroa de espinhos. Godofredo morreu no ano seguinte e seu irmão e sucessor, Balduíno I, foi coroado rei de Jerusalém.

Balduíno expandiu o reino, capturando as cidades portuárias de Acre, Sídon e Beirute, e exerceu a sua suserania sobre outros estados cruzados ao norte - o Condado de Edessa (que ele havia fundado), o Principado de Antioquia e o Condado de Trípoli. A população de origem europeia ocidental aumentou, com os reforços recebidos da Cruzada de 1101; um patriarca latino foi instalado em Jerusalém. As cidades-Estado de Veneza, Pisa e Gênova começaram a envolver-se nos assuntos do reino, quando suas frotas passaram a apoiar a captura de portos, onde foram autorizadas a formar distritos comerciais autônomos.

Balduíno morreu em 1118, sem deixar herdeiros, e sucedeu-lhe seu primo, Balduíno de Burgo, Conde de Edessa. Este também foi um dirigente capaz e, embora tivesse sido feito prisioneiro pelos turcos várias vezes, as fronteiras do reino continuaram a expandir-se, com a captura da cidade de Tiro em 1124.

Vida cotidiana
Aos poucos, os habitantes de origem europeia começaram a adotar modos orientais, aprendendo o grego e o árabe.

O reino baseava-se no sistema feudal, à semelhança da Europa à época, embora com diferenças: o modo de produção agrícola continuou a ter muçulmanos ou cristãos ortodoxos à frente, os quais se reportavam nominalmente aos nobres latinos donos das terras. Estes, porém, preferiam permanecer nos centros urbanos, em geral, e em Jerusalém, em particular. As comunidades agrícolas eram, portanto, relativamente autônomas e não deviam serviço militar (ao contrário do que ocorria com os vassalos na Europa). Com isso, os exércitos cruzados costumavam ser pequenos e recrutados dentre famílias francesas nas cidades.

O caráter urbano da região e a presença de mercadores italianos fizeram surgir uma economia mais comercial do que agrícola. A Palestina sempre fora um entreposto comercial e, agora, incluía rotas europeias.

Como a nobreza preferia residir em Jerusalém (e não nas suas respectivas terras), exercia uma influência grande sobre o rei e formavam a chamada Haute Cour ("alta corte", em francês), uma forma primitiva de parlamento. Dentre as responsabilidades da corte, destacavam-se a confirmação da eleição de um rei, questões financeiras e o recrutamento de exércitos.

O problema da falta de soldados para o exército foi amenizado com a criação das ordens militares. Os Cavaleiros Templários e os Cavaleiros Hospitalários formaram-se nos primeiros anos do reino. Embora seus quartéis-generais estivessem em Jerusalém, mantinham guarnecidos vastos castelos e adquiriam terras que outros nobres não pudessem mais manter. As ordens militares estavam sob controle direto do papa, não do rei: eram basicamente autônomas e não deviam, em tese, nenhum tipo de serviço militar ao reino, embora na prática participassem de todas as grandes batalhas.

Para a administração da justiça, existia a Suprema Corte de Jerusalém, que originalmente deveria ter jurisdição sobre os grandes senhores, mas gradualmente se tornou o Conselho de Estado do rei lidando com todos os assuntos políticos e seus poderes foram estendidos aos senhores menores. Os tribunais senhoriais em outros lugares eram regidos pelos costumes dessa Suprema Corte.

Meados do
Em 1131, Balduíno II foi sucedido por sua filha, Melisenda, que reinou juntamente com o marido, Fulque. Durante seu reinado, Jerusalém conheceu o auge da expansão econômica e artística. Fulque, um renomado comandante militar, logrou conter a ameaça representada pelo bei de Mossul, Zengui. Mas a sua morte acidental em 1143 permitiu a Zengui tomar Edessa. Melisende, agora regente em nome de seu primogênito , nomeou Manassés de Hierges como condestável; em 1147 chegariam as tropas da Segunda Cruzada.

Balduíno III depôs a sua mãe em 1153 mas restaurou-a no papel de regente no ano seguinte. Também no mesmo ano, Balduíno logrou conquistar Ascalão aos fatímidas. Por outro lado, Noradine unificou a Síria muçulmana ao tomar Damasco, agravando a ameaça contra os cruzados.

Balduíno III morreu em 1162 e sucedeu-lhe seu irmão, Amalrico I, cujo reinado foi dedicado a disputar o controle do Egito contra Noradine e Saladino. Apesar do apoio do imperador bizantino, Manuel I Comneno, Amalrico não conseguiu o seu intento; sua morte e a de Noradine fortaleceram a posição de Saladino.

A queda de Jerusalém

Sucedeu a Amalrico I seu filho adolescente, Balduíno IV, que sofria de lepra. O reinado deste último assistiu à formação de facções que apoiavam Raimundo III de Trípoli (o "partido dos nobres", que reunia os barões nativos) ou o cunhado incompetente do rei, Guido de Lusignan (o "partido da corte", apoiado pela família real).

Balduíno morreu em 1185 e sucedeu-lhe seu sobrinho menor, Balduíno V, filho de sua irmã Sibila. Balduíno V morreu menos de um ano depois e sua mãe assumiu o trono, juntamente com seu marido Guido de Lusignan. Este revelou-se um governante desastrado.

Seu aliado Reinaldo de Châtillon, senhor da Transjordânia e do Castelo de Queraque, provocou Saladino a declarar guerra e, em 1187 o exército do reino foi aniquilado na Batalha de Hatim. Nos anos seguintes, Saladino avançou sobre todo o reino, exceto pelo porto de Tiro, bem defendido por Conrado de Monferrato.

A queda de Jerusalém comoveu a Europa e resultou na Terceira Cruzada. Graças aos esforços de Ricardo Coração de Leão, a maior parte das cidades costeiras da Síria, especialmente Acre, foi recuperada e o Tratado de Ramla foi assinado com Saladino após a Batalha de Arçufe. Conrado de Monferrato casou-se com Isabel, filha de Amalrico I, e foi feito rei, mas logo foi morto por assassinos nizaritas. Isabel casou-se então com Henrique II de Champanhe.

Os últimos anos
Nos cem anos seguintes, o Reino de Jerusalém resignou-se a ser um pequeno estado ao longo da costa da Síria. Sua capital passou a ser Acre e seu território incluía poucas cidades de monta (Beirute, Tiro). Uma Quarta Cruzada foi organizada após o fracasso da terceira, mas resultou apenas no saque de Constantinopla, em 1204.

Em 1205, a menor Maria de Monferrato, filha de Conrado e Isabel, tornou-se rainha, e casou-se em seguida com João I de Brienne, que logrou manter o reino a salvo. A Quinta Cruzada de 1217, contra Damieta, no Egito, fracassou. Em 1229, o imperador Frederico II, que era rei de Jerusalém devido ao seu casamento com a herdeira, recuperou a cidade por meio de tratado com o sultão aiúbida Camil (Sexta Cruzada). Em 1244, os cristãos perdiam novamente a cidade.

No período de 1229 a 1268, o rei residiu na Europa. Os reis se faziam representar por regentes. O título foi herdado por Conrado IV, Rei dos Romanos, filho de Frederico II e Isabel II de Jerusalém, e posteriormente por seu filho Conradino da Germânia.

Ao longo do , os mamelucos tomaram aos poucos os territórios do reino, até a queda de Acre, em 1291. O título de rei de Jerusalém foi então reivindicado pelos reis de Chipre e, até hoje, por diversos monarcas europeus.

Q: What is wrong with this regular expression? I'm trying to learn some basic regular expression and having a hard time getting it to work.
What is wrong with this?
if (preg_match("[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,}", $url)) {

It must be something to do with my technique since I can hardly get any examples to work.

A: PHP regular expressions have a forward slash (/) on either side of them. What you want is:
preg_match("/[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,}/", $url)

I assume you realise that this just matches any alphanumeric string, right? As an aside, I find websites like this useful for testing PHP regexps.

I kept this recipe focused the beef because after all, we're using ribeye! If you're feeling creative, you can add green peppers, mushrooms, mayo—whatever you like. Plenty of folks do a version of this recipe using lesser quality cuts of meat and make up for that by adding tons of flavor-masking toppings. Me, I like to keep it simple and focus on the beef. Anyway, about the crunchy onions which I love on these for the texture they provide—in grocery stores they're usually found next to canned soup. But let's be honest, if you look in the cupboard you're bound to find some left over from that Thanksgiving green bean casserole. Reach out to me on social media and let me know what you think of these!
Serves: 4-6 | Prep time: 15 mins. | Cook time: 25 mins.
Step 1: Preheat oven or grill to 325°F. I'm an outdoor cook myself, so I love the Lynx Napoli oven for this, but you can use most any grill or your indoor oven.
Step 2: Finely mince 3 cloves of garlic. You're looking for almost a paste consistency—but not quite. You can also put the garlic through a garlic press and that works well too.
Step 3: Start the bun glaze by melting 1 stick of butter in a small sauce pan over very low heat. Be careful not to burn the butter, using very low heat is important. Mix in minced garlic and leave over very low heat as you work the rest of the recipe. The goal is to infuse the garlic flavor into the warm butter, but not cook the garlic.
Step 4: Leaving the rolls connected together, separate the tops from the bottoms. I recommend Martin's rolls for beef sliders. You'll see other versions of this recipe that use a sweet roll. I like a sweet roll as much as the next guy for pork, but not with beef.
Step 5: Place bottom of rolls in a 9 inch x 13 inch pan.
Step 6: Place a layer of provolone cheese on roll bottoms. Cheese is sort of like money, or sleep, or bacon—you can just never have too much—so throw 2 layers on there if you are so inclined.
Step 7: Here's the fun part—get out your meat cleaver and chop up that leftover ribeye.
Step 8: On top of the cheese, add a generous layer of room temperature, chopped rib eye.
Step 9: Add another layer of provolone cheese.
Step 10: Add the crispy fried onions. It's important that these go on top of the second layer of cheese. If they are placed directly on top of the beef, they will absorb the juice from the steak and lose their crunchiness. That crunchy texture kicks things up a smidgen.
Step 11: Place the tops of the rolls on the sliders.
Step 12: Using a glazing brush, brush about 1/4 of the glaze from Step 1 on top of rolls until generously covered. If you don't have a brush just spoon it on. Set the rest of the glaze aside.
Step 13: Bake in oven for 15 minutes.
Step 14: Cut and serve warm with the remaining garlic butter as a dipping sauce.
Preheat oven or grill to 325°F.
Finely mince 3 cloves of garlic.
Start the bun glaze by melting 1 stick of butter in a small sauce pan over very low heat. Mix in minced garlic and leave over very low heat.
Leaving the rolls connected together, separate the tops from the bottoms.
Place bottom of rolls in a 9 inch x 13 inch baking pan.
Place a layer of provolone cheese on roll bottoms.
Chop up leftover rib eye.
On top of the cheese, add the room temperature chopped ribeye.
Add another layer of provolone cheese.
Top with crispy fried onions.
Place the tops of the rolls on the sliders.
Using a glazing brush, brush about 1/4 of the glaze from Step 1 on top of rolls until uniformly covered.
Bake sliders in oven or grill for 15 minutes.
Cut and serve warm with the remaining garlic butter as a dipping sauce.

New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson weaves a delicate tale of murder and mystery in the first book of a striking new series, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and E. Lockhart.
Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists. It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early twentieth century tycoon, who wanted to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and gardens. "A place," he said, "where learning is a game."
Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym "Truly, Devious." It became one of the great unsolved crimes of American history.
True-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin her first year at Ellingham Academy, and she has an ambitious plan: She will solve this cold case. That is, she will solve the case when she gets a grip on her demanding new school life and her housemates: the inventor, the novelist, the actor, the artist, and the jokester. But something strange is happening. Truly Devious makes a surprise return, and death revisits Ellingham Academy. The past has crawled out of its grave. Someone has gotten away with murder.
The two interwoven mysteries of this first book in the Truly Devious series dovetail brilliantly, and Stevie Bell will continue her relentless quest for the murderers in books two and three.

CHAPTER I. ON ELEMENTARY PIANO-FORTE INSTRUCTION.
You ask, my dear friend, for some particular information about my piano method, especially with regard to my mode of elementary instruction, which differs essentially from that in common use.
Dominie. My dear friend, how have you managed to make piano-playing so utterly distasteful to little Susie? and how is it that the instruction which you have given her for the last three years actually amounts to nothing?
Friend. Well, I will tell you how I have proceeded. First I taught her the names of the keys, that was pretty dull work for her; then I made her learn the treble notes, which was a difficult matter; after that I taught her the bass notes, which puzzled her still more; then I undertook to teach her a pretty little piece, which she hoped to perform for the delight of her parents. Of course she constantly confused the bass and treble notes, she could not keep time, she always used the wrong fingers and could not learn it at all. Then I scolded her,—she only cried; I tried a little coaxing,—that made her cry worse; finally I put an end to the piano lessons, and she begged me never to begin them again; and there you have the whole story.
Dominie. You certainly might have begun more judiciously. How is it possible for a child to climb a ladder when not only the lower rounds, but a great many more, are wanting? Nature makes no leaps, least of all with children.
Friend. But did she not begin to climb the ladder at the bottom?
Dominie. By no means. She certainly never was able to reach the top. I should say, rather, that she tumbled down head foremost. To speak mildly, she began to climb in the middle; and even then you tried to chase her up, instead of allowing her, carefully and quietly, to clamber up one step at a time. Bring me your youngest daughter, Bessie, and I will show you how I give a first lesson.
Dominie. Bessie, can you say your letters after me? so,—c, d, e, f.
Bessie. c, d, e, f.
Dominie. Go on,—g, a, b, c.
Bessie. g, a, b, c.
Dominie. Once more: the first four again, then the next four. That's right: now all the eight, one after the other, c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c.
Bessie. c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c.

Q: On a Banach space $X$, is the functional $x \mapsto \frac{1}{p}\|x\|^p$ convex? Let $X$ be a Banach space. Let $p > 1$ and, consider the functional $X \to \mathbb{C}$ given by:
$$x \mapsto \frac{1}{p}\|x\|^p$$

I would like the know if the above functional is convex. That is, for $x_1, x_2 \in X$ and $t \in (0,1)$, do we have $\frac{1}{p}\|tx_1 + (1-t)x_2\|^p \le t\frac{1}{p}\|x_1\|^p + (1-t) \frac{1}{p}\|x_2\|^p$?

I am reading through a paper that states $x \mapsto \frac{1}{p}\|x\|^p$ is a "convex functional," but I'm not sure if they mean the same convexity that I am describing above.
I have went ahead and tried to establish (my definition of) convexity on my own, using the well-known inequality:
$$|\alpha + \beta|^p \le 2^{p-1}(|\alpha|^p + |\beta|^p).$$
for $\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{C}$. But I have gotten stuck:
$$\frac{1}{p}\|tx_1 + (1-t)x_2\|^p \le \frac{1}{p}(t\|x_1\| + (1-t)\|x_2\|)^p  \le \frac{2^{p-1}}{p}(t^p\|x_1\|^p + (1-t)^p\|x_2\|^p),$$
and I'm not sure if I can do any good by proceeding from this last step.
Hints or solutions are greatly appreciated.

A: Let $f(s) = s^p$ for some $p>1$, then for every $s\geq 0$m we have
$$f''(s) = \underbrace{p(p-1)}_{>0}\,\underbrace{s^{p-2}\vphantom{)}}_{\geq 0} \geq 0$$
and thus $f$ is convex on the non negative numbers. So for any $x_1,x_2 \in X$ and $t \in (0,1)$ we get
$$\frac{1}{p}\|x_1t + (1-t)x_2 \|^p \overset{(1)}{\leq} \frac{1}{p}(t\| x_1\|+(1-t)\|x_2\|)^p \overset{(2)}{\leq} \frac{t}{p}\|x_1\|^p + \frac{1-t}{p}\|x_2\|^p,$$
where $(1)$ is obtained by the triangle inequality and homogeneity of the norm and $(2)$ by convexity of $f$.


This past weekend I started and completed my first full hike of the Loyalsock Trail. The lush green forests made for some wonderful views, including this one of Loyalsock Creek and PA route 77 from Smith's Knob, a great stop to eat some lunch on my first day.
sounds like you liked it! one of my favorite trails, and one of the best lookouts in PA!
@halo_of_winter Oops! Yes, it was a great hike! Though I am quite sore three days later.
how about that first hill climb at the very beginning of the trail!
@halo_of_winter I'll tell you, the first was not so bad for me. I have done a lot of hiking early in the season so I am in great shape. But the 90 degree temp on Saturday killed me on my way up Smiths Knob!
yeah, i hate hiking when it's really hot. i usually hike grandma pace if it is and take alot of breaks. the nice thing about some of the hot days on my first LT thru was taking breaks in water holes coming down some of the sections following streams. and of course the haystacks is great after hiking most of the trail. some people don't realize there's a water hole behind a big rock right in the middle of it that you can cannonball into and still not hit the bottom. clear as rock run too!
and i still haven't had a clear blue sky at smith's knob yet. but i did see it early AM with mist through the mountains, so that was cool. and still haven't seen the two lookouts before smith's knob that look south at all. too foggy on both trips.
@halo_of_winter: I definitely took advantage of the various streams to cool off, though when I reached the haystacks it was quite late at night and I was ready to get out of the woods, so I didn't stop. I am fortunate to have had a clear weekend this time around!
