She Said "Stop": How to Change Rape Culture
06/10/2016 11:32 pm ET Updated Jun 11, 2016

One of my favorite sounds is the laughter of my children. When they're tickling each other, when they're chasing each other, when they're wrestling with each other. Their infectious belly laughs and squeals warm my heart. One child tickles, the other screams and laughs. The tickler laughs too. The tickle-ee screams "Stop!" and keeps laughing, and tickles back. And this continues, over and over, until the tickle-ee screams, "I SAID STOP!"
I said Stop. But she was laughing, and tickling back. She was playing along. Until she wasn't.
I see kids, not just mine, play out this scenario every day. When boys are wrestling. When kids are teasing. When kids are pestering each other, following each other around on the blacktop, in the cafeteria, in the backyard, playing one more video game. It starts out with a mutual agreement to have fun. Then one party starts to tire of it, and verbalizes a "No," or "Stop it," or "Please go away," or "Not now." But these seem like feeble attempts, because the tired party continues to engage in some fashion, or doesn't scream it loudly the first time, or doesn't disengage and flee.
I see adults cajole kids in this similar fashion as well. By "adults," I mean me, and you. Granted, a lot of this is used to reframe or negotiate an issue to get a child to finish homework, or eat their vegetables, or take medicine. But adults do it too. To kids, to each other. "Oh come on, stay out a little longer. One more drink." or "Oh come on, cut out of work early to play some golf."
It's usually harmless, and we all do it to some degree. There's a fine line between persuasion and pesky. A fine line between negotiation and coercion. Kids don't naturally know where this fine line is. To them, positive reinforcements can be seen as bribing. To them, a parent pressuring a child to finish his vegetables can be generalized to it being OK to pressure other people into doing things. And so it becomes even that much more important that we step in and discuss these interactions in real time.
Now, more than ever, we are outraged at our current rape culture, this understanding of the world that permits the entitled taking of something not yours to take; this disregard for boundaries; this inability to understand where I stop and you begin. This is a good thing, this outrage. Outrage will only take you so far though. We need to teach our children how to negotiate this world, and with each other. We need to teach our children that this rape culture starts years before one is sexually active.
Girls and women are taught at an early age how to try to prevent rape and sexual assault: we shouldn't wear short skirts or cleavage-baring tops, we shouldn't get too drunk, we shouldn't walk alone at night. You know, because otherwise, you're just being stupid and not being safe.
What are we telling our boys and men? Now, more than ever, we're telling them to respect women as humans. Yes, we need to do that. We also need to start teaching our little babies that no matter what, No means No, and Stop means Stop. Even when they're five- or seven-years-old, and it's a raucous pillow fight or tickle session or wrestling match or freeze tag. Adults too often ignore these innocent squirmishes because they're having fun. Their squeals and protests are background noise. It's innocent play. Adults don't intervene until someone gets hurt in that pillow fight.
It's innocent, until it's not. We need to teach boys and girls early on that no matter what the circumstance, no matter how the game started out, the second someone says No or Stop, it's Hands up, Walk away. No cajoling, no negotiating, no pressuring. It doesn't matter if he or she is still laughing and engaging. We need our children to understand this concept in all forms.
We need to teach our children to respect everyone's boundaries in all aspects of our lives. Sure, we tell kids that, we tell people to respect each other. But those directives are so abstract, they don't know what it looks like, what it feels like, how to do it. We need to teach them what it feels like to be disappointed when her playmate no longer wants to play that game, and that's OK. We need to teach them what it feels like to have his boundaries respected, so that he knows what it feels like when someone's not respecting his boundaries. We need to teach them to honor and respect others, to be honored. We teach these concepts through the games and interactions they know now, not just by talking at them.
We have a rule in our house: I better not hear "No" or "Stop" more than once. But do I? Of course, they're children, and human. We all need opportunities to practice. And we do, every day. Because she said Stop. And we need to honor that.

My life! It is so crazy around here right now, and I LOVE IT. However, it leaves little time for extra activities.
Currently, we are in the middle of FRIENDSHIP WEEK. It's a super fun tradition here in Los Alamos! It's basically Secret Santa, but in February. Tons of families participate, and it is hilarious to watch my kids leave little gifts at people's door, then ring the bell and RUN! Meanwhile, my children are trying to catch whoever is our secret friend. Sadly, they are not having any luck. We have some clues though. We saw a very blonde boy hop into a minivan. There was also a car seat, so they've been trying to figure out who has blonde hair and a baby, and drives a van. Unfortunately, that could be quite a few people.
Also the boys have the Klondike this weekend. And the girls have a stake Activity Days day camp. And I need to cut my hair.... and color it. And I have a few gals that need to get in to get their hairs cut and colored. I also have to meet with a friend to practice my SOLO that I'll be singing in church this week.
I also need to make eating and sleeping a priority again. I've been having medication problems again, and something is up to no good. I hurt really badly, and my fingers and toes are so itchy. I also have an ultrasound today for my thyroid AND a biopsy... I think. I can't remember, and I didn't write it down anywhere, so naturally, I forgot all about everything.


Filmed just before he left the label in 2008, the documentary film boasts drama, drama and, dare I say it, more drama. Called Valentino – The Last Emperor, it takes a look at the colourful and dramatic closing act of his celebrated career and capturing the end of an era in global fashion.
However, at the heart of the film is a love story - the unique relationship between Valentino and his business partner and companion of 50 years, Giancarlo Giammetti. It captures intimate moments in the lives of two of Italy's richest and most famous men and lifts the curtain on the final act of a nearly 50-year reign at the top of the glamorous and fiercely competitive world of fashion.
For the uninitiated, Valentino is one of the last designers whose couture was handmade. It was reported that his many assistants and seamstresses never touched a sewing machine. Basically, Valentino designs, they make the dresses. In the film, Valentino is the creative wellspring, the man whose intricate demands have to be satisfied. And he is not easily satisfied. Watch how Antonietta de Angelis, the head seamstress of the house, work her magic on the individual pieces. She also has some of her boss's imperious temperament and knows that anything less than perfection is unacceptable.
So, do yourself a favour this weekend. Go out and rent Valentino: The Last Emperor. Or watch it online.

New book: How Donald Trump cajoled the USFL into obliterating itself (or Why DJT hates the NFL)

Comments Off on New book: How Donald Trump cajoled the USFL into obliterating itself (or Why DJT hates the NFL)
Jay Busbee, Yahoo Sports 11 hours ago

Jeff Pearlman's "Football For A Buck: The Crazy Rise and Crazier Demise of the USFL," is a wonderful, thorough, insightful look at a deeply weird moment in American football history. And it's also a primer of sorts for this current deeply weird moment in American political history. Which means that there are two stories: one about a spring football league that had dreams of challenging the NFL, and one about the team owner who sent the entire league pinwheeling into oblivion … and then went on to become president of the United States.
For anyone born after, oh, 1978 or so, the USFL is an abstraction, a two-line toss-off in the Wikipedia entries of Steve Young, Jim Kelly, Herschel Walker, Reggie White, Doug Flutie and other 1980s football heroes. But for anyone who remembers its brief, odd existence, it was so, so much more. Its premise was simple: pro football, but in the spring. Pearlman nails the league's entire story, from on-field absurdity to boardroom misfires, and shows just how much damage one idea, pushed relentlessly, can do to an entire enterprise.
In its three seasons of existence, the USFL attracted a cavalcade of castoffs, has-beens, and never-wases before going all in on big names like Young and Walker. A rocket held together with duct tape, it flared brightly and then vanished. And the strangest thing of all is, were it not for Donald Trump – and the team owners who went along with him, many against their better instincts – it might well have worked.
The strange story of a little league that almost could
The USFL's story didn't begin with Trump, but it certainly ended with him. Begun in 1982 with a dozen teams and a strange array of owners – some who were wealthy, some who were charlatans, and some who were flat-out insane – the league found a foothold as sort of an anti-NFL, a league that encouraged recklessness and fun while the NFL remained mired in stodgy solemnity. The two-point conversion and the coach's challenge came from the USFL, and so did the ability of players to jump from college to the professional ranks before graduation.
Drawing on more than 400 interviews, Pearlman recounts in substantial and hysterical detail how coaches cobbled together teams of journeymen and lunatics, players who would shoot up, smoke up, or, uh, consort with female fans within minutes of game time. The USFL didn't offer first-class accommodations – players were often forced to play on ragged fields and before crowds in the low four figures – but what it did offer was a chance to play more football, and for many willing players, that chance was enough.
The USFL trundled through its first season, 1983, with only modest on-field success, but with a seismic blast: the arrival of Herschel Walker, the tanklike running back who jumped from the University of Georgia to the USFL a year before the NFL could grab him. The crew of misfits that the NFL initially wrote off as "Useless" was a legitimate football power player. And when the league later snapped up two more Heisman winners in Mike Rozier and Doug Flutie, suddenly nobody in the NFL was laughing at all.

Donald Trump takes control
But by this time, Trump had entered the picture. And Pearlman doesn't need to point out the parallels between Trump's time in the USFL and our current era; they're all right there in black and white.
As the USFL formed, Trump was a hot New York City real estate developer in his mid-30s whose reputation hadn't yet crossed the Hudson River. He jumped on the USFL, taking ownership of the New Jersey Generals, when the train was already rolling, and immediately set about savaging the entire USFL operation. He railed at the incompetence of the USFL's commissioner and the small-minded thinking of his fellow owners, and he threw around big numbers and talked big dreams. Trump tried to sign Lawrence Taylor away from the Giants, and succeeded in signing Flutie, albeit with a pay-for-that-wall-style request of his fellow owners: kick in on Flutie's salary "for the good of the league."
The other owners laughed off that request. But they weren't laughing at everything Trump did. All along, he had in mind an ulterior motive.
"Beginning shortly after he purchased the Generals," Pearlman writes, "Trump made it his objective to force the USFL's hand and convince his peers — often against their own best interests — to switch directions and switch seasons."
Yes, switch seasons. Move the USFL from the calm waters of the spring – where no football competition existed – into the raging hellstorm of the fall, where it would compete with the NFL, college football, and Friday night lights. Not only that, with Trump's cajoling, the USFL actually sued the NFL for antitrust violations, claiming the league held an unlawful monopoly on professional football.
From an organizational perspective, it was insane. But from Trump's perspective, it was an audacious, big-thinking gamble. Trump wanted into the NFL in the worst way, even given – or perhaps because of – the fact that the league's owners rejected him time and time again on both competency and financial-solvency grounds. And with the USFL, his plan was this: move the league to the fall, move the Generals into a planned Trump Stadium in Manhattan, and then leap into the NFL through an AFL-like merger. If the other owners could join him, good for them. If not, well … too bad, so sad.
"[NFL] ownership is the most elusive club in the world," Pearlman told Yahoo Sports. "It's not even about football for him. Never was. It's the eternal, sort of sad need to be what he can't possibly be. A Mara. A Rooney. Big and dignified and elite. He doesn't merely crave wealth. He craves the status, the esteem that comes with being something on a pedestal. NFL ownership was that very thing." (The roots of Trump's current war with the NFL stretch back to long before Colin Kaepernick was even born.)
Trump, through sheer force of will, hectored the USFL's other owners into agreeing to move to the fall after the 1985 season – instantly vaporizing four teams who had been sharing stadiums and fans with their larger, more established NFL counterparts. (This is important to note: Trump didn't do this all himself. He had help from other owners, who rolled over and went along, assuming that Trump had their best interests at heart … or, at the very least, that they'd get rich.) Other teams, facing huge losses thanks to overexpansion, soon faltered and faded away. Trump, aided by Cold War-era attorney Roy Cohn, pressed on with his courtroom attack against the NFL. But when the USFL finally "won" its antitrust lawsuit – receiving only the nominal sum of $1, hence the book's title – the league, which had been banking on a huge settlement to underwrite its move to the fall, vanished into history.
Pearlman's book is an outstanding achievement. You can read it, if you wish, as a precursor to Trump's presidency; certainly there are enough parallels – like making others crumble under the weight of constant barrages of withering, fact-challenged criticism – to keep D.C. political writers thumbing through this book for material for a year.
But the book isn't just about Trump. It's about a truly strange league – a league where a player once punched his coach after being cut, a league where a player once slammed his own penis in a car trunk – and the kind of maverick oddity that doesn't exist in American sports any longer. Read "Football for a Buck," and then see if you're not scouring the web to find some vintage Memphis Showboats or Tampa Bay Bandits gear.

Why do I need iOS 10+ to run the latest LDS Tools update and why will my old version of LDS Tools (3.3.1 on iOS 9.3.5) no longer sync since the 3.5 version has been released?

At some point, Apple doesn't let you update apps for older versions. I'm not sure if that's the case here or not.
timothyjhill wrote: why will my old version of LDS Tools (3.3.1 on iOS 9.3.5) no longer sync since the 3.5 version has been released?
The servers that ran HT/VT where shutdown. New services were created to support Ministering using a higher level of security for communication.
The shutdown of HT/VT is likely what's causing the older versions of LDS Tools on iOS to fail.
Postby timothyjhill » Fri Aug 17, 2018 4:08 pm
Thanks Russell...is there any plan to support LDS Tools on iOS 9.3.5 or is the LDS Tools app simply caught in Apple's planned obsolescence and I have no other choice than to purchase a new device?
Postby russellhltn » Fri Aug 17, 2018 5:03 pm
I haven't heard what the issue is, so I can't give a solid answer. But since it doesn't seem to be fixed by now, I wouldn't have a lot of hope.
It looks like by market share, iOS9 is only about 4.5% of iOS. The decision makers would have access to more detailed usage by members.
At minimum, I'd start watching the deals. I'm not much of a Apple watcher, but iOS9 looks to be getting long in the tooth. With the introduction of iOS12, I think "the end" will come sooner then later.

I just tried to download LDS Tools on 9.3.5, it indicated it couldn't download the current version and asked to continue loading an older version. Installation appeared successful, however when we tried to download the database we get the message: Downloading This may take a couple of minutes depending on your connection. The progress loop goes to around 98% complete and then just hangs there. I suspect the new downloads are not compatible with the older version of LDS Tools (Version 3.3.1 (6087).
Any hope for assistance?

Facing this exact problem. I would be good for the Church to clearly state in the release notes at least that 9.3.5 support for LDS Tools will no longer be available so people are not left spinning their wheels thinking, "If I do this one more time, it'll probably work". As you download LDS Tools from Apple Play, you do get a hint that it requires ver 10 or higher, but also implies that perhaps a previous version would be installed that would work on 9.3.5, but there is no way to verify such a plan is really available or ever will be. Church clarification is needed badly.
Postby russellhltn » Mon Aug 27, 2018 10:49 am
From what I've heard back, the church's commitment is to the current and prior version of iOS. At this point, that's iOS 10 and 11. If it works on 9, great, but no effort will be put into making it work.
Apparently, 9 doesn't support the newer APIs on security, so it's broken.
Postby mschmauch » Mon Aug 27, 2018 11:34 am
It would have been considerate if the Church would have warned 9.3.5 users that the latest release is not likely to work on their devices and made a way to still update the database even with missing features rather than ignore the situation and let users stumble into a dead device relative to LDS Tools. For sure, many LDS Tools developers knew in advance that most (if not all) 9.3.5 users would die with the latest update. As sad as that would be to such users, it's still better than allowing them to waste their time trying to make their device work.

I don't disagree, but my impression is that "the developers" is a small group of people. And in this case, they had a hard deadline to roll out the new version.
What broke the old version was turning off the old HT/VT service. The fact it didn't cope well was unfortunate, but I don't know as they had any tools at that point to fix the old version before rolling out the new one.
Postby mschmauch » Mon Aug 27, 2018 12:48 pm
It's not too late to communicate the woes of 9.3.5 devices. I can't be the only one with the problem, and there are many who will not find this thread and are still yet hopeful that if they just carefully do it right, or get on a faster internet service, or pray more, they' will still get the new release to work. How sad for them on two levels: a dying device, and wasted time.

Did you notice it? Already the mornings are feeling just a little colder and I noticed on my way to work on 31st August, that the leaves were beginning to change colour and fall. That chill in the air always makes me think of going back to school. Families are gearing up for the new school year, and many of us are thinking about new beginnings.
There are a few new beginnings for me too. Following a really busy summer in the day job, I am looking forward to a new block of Nia classes at Keep Fit Darlington and at the Pioneering Care Centre starting on 18th September. I'm maintaining the price at £25 for a block of five classes and £6 pay as you go for the rest of the year. I'll remind regulars, but there will be no Nia classes on Monday, 25th September.
And a first Introduction to Nia workshop at a lovely new venue in Darlington. It's on Wednesday 4 October. I'll provide a bit of background about the concept, the format, what makes Nia unique and the benefits before doing a taster class. Great for complete newcomers or anyone who just wants to delve deeper. Full details, as always on the Classes & Events page.
Finally, I had a bit of a surprise over the summer, when I was contacted by Helen Sanders of Health Ambition. She had come across a post I did back in February where I mentioned gin-soaked raisins as a possible aid to arthritis pain relief. She had written on the same subject and included a great deal more research in her article! There's a lot of interesting information on the website on a wide range of health-related topics. Why not check it out?
A few months ago I discovered Hay House Radio. You may have heard of Hay House publishing or read about its founder Louise L Hay who wrote a book which has helped so many people: "You can Heal your Life". It was one of the first books I ever read on the powerful mind, body connection.
Since then, I've come across many Hay House authors and occasionally listen to Hay House Radio. Last Wednesday, I found myself listening for most of the afternoon and discovered that Louise Hay had passed away that same day, just weeks away from her 91st birthday. You can read more about her and her amazing achievements on her website.
Classes continue after the Bank Holiday at Keep Fit Darlington and the Pioneering Care Centre on Mondays.
A new block of five classes starts at both venues on Monday 18th September.
No classes at Bannatynes, Keep Fit Darlington or the Pioneering Care Centre on 25th September.
Introduction to Nia workshop, Wednesday 4 October, 3.45 – 5.15 p.m.

This Chiari News story appeared on the Global TV evening news the night of Feb 15, 2014.
BROOKLIN -- If Melanie Green is looking for a quick answer to a parenting question, she can rely on friends she's met through the Facebook group Brooklin Moms.
Recently, the Brooklin resident found a new use for the handy social media tool when she helped a fellow member, Tracey Vonsick, find information she was desperately seeking.
"One of the moms in the group had stated that she had been recently diagnosed with a rare brain condition called chiari malformation and she was overwhelmed because there's very little information out there about it," said Ms. Green.
News coverage from the Durham region.
WHITBY -- When Janet Hussey was diagnosed with chiari malformation, she had no idea what it was.
But as the Whitby woman started talking about the rare brain condition with others in the community, she quickly learned she wasn't alone.
"I was very surprised to learn there are so many others going through similar experiences," says Ms. Hussey, who suffered from various symptoms of the disorder for 20 years before her diagnosis in 2011.

Q: JpaRepository find child (pageable) I came across a problem that I can not solve.
I want to find Class1 elements with "Active" status, which have "Active" status2 on Class2 and belong to a specific user.
E.g.: Find all "Accepted" comments, which belong to "John" posted on post with status "Active".
I tried to use this (JpaRepository):
Page<Class1> findAllByStatusAndClass2StatusAndClass2User(String status, String status2, User user, Pageable pageRequest)

My code:
@Entity
@Table(name = "class1")
public class Class1 {
...

    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "class1")
    private Set<Class2> class2;

    String status1;
...
}

@Entity
@Table(name = "class2")
public class Class2 {
...

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "class1_id", nullable = false)
    private Class1 class1;

    User user;
    String status2;
...
}

Thank you for help.

A: In fact with JPARepository, your method name and params should respect the fields names in your entities.
So you need to use status1 instead of status and Class2Status2 instead of Class2Status.
Your method should be like this:
Page<Class1> findAllByStatus1AndClass2Status2AndClass2User(String status1, String status2, User user, Pageable pageRequest)

How Should We Manage Technology?
How far into the future should your technology plan look? That's a question I am asked often these days. Technology can be a capital expenditure for businesses and not-for-profits. It seems like yesterday I was sitting in board meetings considering investing in technology, websites, servers, and productivity tools that we expected to be useful for "the next 10 years." Oh my, how times have changed. Unfortunately today I run into all sorts of limitation issues when clients who bought expensive technology 5 years ago want to continue to use it in today's context.
The proliferation and democratization of technology has taken innovation from the large software and hardware developers such as Microsoft and has moved them down to the level of a college kid who starts a little online tool for his friends based on an open-source platform we now call Facebook. It seems like every day something amazing has been created overnight by either Apple, the Google guys, or by a 13-year old kid in Sri Lanka. It doesn't matter where it comes from, but change is coming at a neck-breaking speed.
How should we manage this elusive technological curve? How should we look at investing in online tools, software, and servers? I think the answer is to become platform agnostic and not to expect any technological investment to last more than two to two and a half years; and that's even pushing it. Really.
Depending on your business or ministry, your website functionality should be evaluated every six months. Your overall site functionality should be assessed every 15 to 24 months and your front-end interface should change annually to keep it fresh and relevant. Consider purchasing only API-friendly (Application Protocol Interface) software. In other words, don't buy technology that doesn't play well with others. The days of being held hostage by software are over.
How well is your organization managing technology?
There's still a great deal of complexity in the way things are created – we're hanging onto old behaviors and mindsets. Yet the hardware (and connections via the web) have become so fast, our brains (and software tools) haven't caught up.I literally have a pile of tech books and equipment that is useless, so investment has to be targeted towards rapid & higher rates of return. (Depreciation rates are useless).Equipment is expendable, but people aren't and yet skill sets need constant revision. Investing in the core values that endure through change is critically important.Adaptability and self-education seem to be a trait that's moving into legacy behaviors – just as being able to write, and communicate well.Identifying and instilling that is more important than the next greatest hardware innovation.
Understanding the "win" is critical for me. What's the best way to reach our goal? That's the question people should ask and not "What can be come up with the technology and skills we have." Also great insight on websites. Most people assume their website design and functionality should last way past its time.
The difficulty comes when you try and monetize something. The biggest and best non-hardware technologies that have emerged have been free – Google, MySpace, Facebook, etc. They were created by people that have a passion for excellence and meeting a need. They knew that if they built that (and built it well) first, the money would come.I can't tell you how many meetings I have been in where people were excited about emerging technology and green lights were even given, but nothing emerged. I knew from the beginning that nothing would emerge because I knew that we weren't willing to invest first and worry about money later.Being DRM free is a big key. I love the way you put it – platform agnostic. Until we move past kingdom building, emerging technology will always go first to those that can afford it. Think about how many iPods and/or iPhones would/could be out there if they weren't tied to one carrier and were more affordable?I have been out of the digital world in my industry for about two years now, but I am still passionate about it. Obviously money has to be made – it's the American way – but when that is the primary concern, technology will continue to be difficult to manage – both for the creator and the consumer.
My organization manages online technology by using The A-Group. That's a shameless plug for TAG, but it's helped us get on the curve with cloud based systems and mobile device ready solutions with content management that talks to our front end interfaces including social media.
I believe that any online initiative today, must have a robust mobile device component.
Just recently I was involved with restructuring a small business' (< 30 employees) tech infrastructure. Moving them to scalable & open tech was one of the primary goals. Google Apps instead of in-house exchange, Asterisk VOIP instead of proprietary in-house PBX, cloud based hosting and SAAS where applicable.
I think the temptation for a lot of companies is going to be giving up control of certain assets (e.g. customer data) for short-term savings or profit increases. Amazon will result in great profits, but you lose customer data and the ability to build a direct meaningful relationship with customers. It is important to strategically invest in systems which strengthen core competencies and outsource essential but generic services.


Thought is a beginning of any guarantee made to anybody, when a man makes a guarantee to another he does as such in regard of determining some advantage or return for his guarantee which another is able to presenting on him. This is called thought. It is a piece of the agreement law just trade of one thing of significant worth for something else. In the agreement law, thought is being considered so noteworthy for the legitimacy of an assention that the nonappearance of thought make the agreement invalid. Thought is one of the six components of agreement which is required in the event of a legitimate contract. The tenet of thought has been produced by the custom-based law.
Thought must be as esteem which a man provides for someone else. Be that as it may, there are additionally restrictive thought gather the lawfully esteems. For instance, a military officer can't request a reward for the catch of any psychological oppressor since he is as of now on an obligation to perform for the state. There are numerous judgments accessible in the books of law with a view to clarify the thought, one of them as takes after; in which the team individuals couldn't got the additional cash which is guaranteed by the chief of the ship in return of cruising the ship to back home since they were at that point doing their activity.
Consideration must move starting with one gathering then onto the next gathering. There are points of reference accessible in the books of law. There is a case in which the subcontractor got the claim as he was guaranteed to get additional cash on the off chance that he assembles a square of level for the gathering. For this situation subcontractor stuck into fiscally emergency and the gathering guaranteed to pay some additional cash if subcontractor finishes the undertaking yet after culmination the venture the gathering declined to pay additional cash asserting that anticipated got late however court offered request to pay additional cash pronounced that the promisor influenced useful to profit.
A significant thought might be as right, intrigue, benefit and advantage. It is additionally as obligation or through endeavor or monetary qualities. There is another case accessible in the books of law in which a dad guaranteed to pay his child if his child quit smoking and drink and medications. After that dad declined to pay yet court condemned in the support of child as it was a significant thought and offered judgment to pay his child guaranteed cash. The most imperative motivation behind thought is to restricting a record in the lawful convention.
A decent thought might be as present, past and future. A thought given before the date of present guarantee is said to be a past thought. In English law the thought must be available and future and past thought isn't subject to be considered. In any case, in some provincial law the past thought must be esteemed as great thought. A decent thought does not need to be equivalent or adequate.
A substantial thought must be against the guarantee between both the gatherings. It is likewise as installment of cash however there are different occasions speaking to the substantial thought. A reimbursement understanding in which guarantee surety will be given is additionally an example of legitimate thought.
A decent thought not should be adequate and journalist to the guarantee. While making an agreement there might be a shot of undue impact or intimidation which drives the thought into the deficiency. Thought ought to be sure and genuine and equipped and not to be fanciful or ambiguous. In the event that a man guarantees to another that on the off chance that you do my work I will find a fortune for you, it's anything but a specific thought despite the fact that it might contain a feeling of uncertainty. These sorts of thought are not thinking about a decent thought. The principle question of the thought ought not be precluded by the law. On the off chance that the execution of a demonstration is illegal the assention would be known as a void understanding. Offer of alcohol without enrollment is an open case of void understanding.
On the off chance that a thought is incorporating into the damage of a man or harm of anybody property then it is additionally called unlawful thought. This sort of contemplations has no lawful limit in any official courtroom and isn't claimable. At the point when a man keeps a guarantee to do anything that incorporates the harming the property of some other against a trade then this sort of claim isn't substantial.
A decent thought ought not be shameless and harming the social qualities and conduct of any living society, in spite of the fact that it ought to contribute the positive vibes in the general public along these lines serves to building a decent connection between the authentic gatherings. Corrupt thought incorporates letting a house to a man having infamous notoriety in the general public which can make unsettling influence to neighborhood.
Thought ought not be against general society strategy or any law winning in the district. A man can't make any guarantee along these lines against general society strategy or harming the privilege in regard of open on the loose. Meddling in the organization of equity is clear case of infringement in the general population approach. A decent thought ought not include any goal which makes an understanding against the general population arrangement.
At the point when any gathering or any individual need to influence an assention between them there is a thought to exist and without thought both the gatherings can't make an agreement or any understanding. It is a decide of law that with a substantial thought an assention can't exist and a decent thought makes an understanding into real contract. So thought is a basic component in any agreement made between the gatherings and without thought an agreement can't be think about a legitimate contract. The nonappearance of thought renders the contact invalid yet it ought to be noticed that deficiency of the thought in not a ground for shortcoming of the understanding. An understanding can be invalid on different grounds. A thought transforms an agreement into a honest to goodness record which is likewise permissible in the official courtroom of any locale on the planet.

In a major decision, the field staff of Election Commission in the State has announced voluntary retirement from government services on Monday. The announcement coincided with the announcement of poll schedule for Panchayat elections by State's Chief Electoral Officer.
The reasons cited by Association of Field Employees of Election Department (AFEED) for voluntary retirement include non-fulfilment of various posts at the District Election Officer (DEO) level, Election Registration Officer level and the Assistant Election Registration Officer level.
Rising Kashmir had last month reported that State's Election Commission was facing staff crunch with 50 percent of posts sanctioned and made mandatory by the Election Commission of India lying vacant even though AFEED was continuously raking up the issue.
At least 18 posts sanctioned by the ECI at the DEO level, 13 are lying vacant while at the ERO level, only one official is posted against sanctioned six posts.
At the AERO level among the one post sanctioned by the ECI, no official has been posted.
"We are working under the Superintendence and control of Election Commission of India and are meant for Assembly and Parliamentary Elections only. But in J&K State we are forced to conduct local body Elections that too with the meagre staff strength," reads the statement issued by AFEED today.
It said the local elections including Panchayat, Municipal, GurdawaraPrabandhak Committees and cooperative are conducted by the State Election Commission having separate offices and staff like in other states.
"In absence of required staff strength, we are being forced to work day and night without availing Sunday/Holiday as bonded laborers to conduct all above elections. Due to round the clock work timings most of field staff is suffering from various psychological and other ailments including anxiety and depression," it said.
"Such an approach of our department and the State Government towards field staff is a gross violation of human rights of employees as guaranteed under law," it further said.
The AFEED said since last one year, they have been repeatedly requested and submitted series of representation concerning resolutions of their problems to CEOJK which however has resulted in nothing concrete.
"Except mere unfulfilled promises and false assurances nothing developed and none of our problems was resolved. Even we during past few months we held a day long protest and thereafter also submitted seven days protest leave but till date no action was taken, which really seems regrettable and disappointing," states the AFEED letter addressed to State's CEO ShaleenKabra.
The AFEED has also been demanding the removal of pay anomalies for various posts, citing that there would not be any major financial implication on the State budget as 50 percent of the salaries of the staff of the Chief Electoral Officer comes from the Government of India.
Sources said with the vacant posts at ERO level, the preparation and maintenance of electoral rolls across the assembly constituencies in the State had been hampered.

Q: "Object of class mysqli could not be converted to string" error in php insert When I run this code I get the error "Object of class mysqli could not be converted to string" on the line where I declare a new mysqli object. I can't find the error no matter how many times I read it over.
if(isset($_SESSION['username']))
{
   echo $_POST['course'],
   $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost","sec_user","Uzg82t=u%#bNgPJw","GPA_Tracker");
   $user = $_SESSION['username'];
   $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT into assessment_type (username, courseID, assessment, percentage) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
   $stmt->bind_param('ssss', $user, $_POST['course'], $_POST['assesment'], $_POST['percentage']);
   $stmt->execute();
}

A: As noted in the comments, this is where you have the problem:
echo $_POST['course'], //notice the comma, rather than a semi-colon ";"
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost","sec_user","Uzg82t=u%#bNgPJw","GPA_Tracker");

The echo statement/construct accepts a comma-separated list of statements, hence coming across the , it thinks the next statement following it is also to be echoed. As it turns out, that next statement is an object-creation statement, whereas echo accepts only strings.
To fix the error, properly close your echo $_POST['course'] with a semicolon like below:
echo $_POST['course'];

CT: Hydropower plants use modern turbine generators to produce electricity just as coal, oil, or nuclear power plants do. The difference is in the source item used to spin the turbine.
A typical hydropower plant is a system that has three main parts: a reservoir where water can be stored, a dam with gates to control water flow, and a power plant where the electricity is produced.
A hydropower plant uses the force of flowing water to produce electricity. A dam opens gates at the top to allow water from the reservoir to flow down large tubes called penstocks. At the bottom of the penstocks, the fast-moving water spins the blades of the turbines. The turbines are attached to generators to produce electricity, which is transported along transmission lines to a utility company.
N: 1. "opening, entrance," Old English geat (plural geatu) "gate, door, opening, passage, hinged framework barrier," from Proto-Germanic gatan, of unknown origin.
2. A movable watertight barrier for the control of a liquid in a waterway.
3. gates: In addition to spillways, openings through dams are also required for drawing off water for irrigation and water supply, for ensuring a minimum flow in the river for riparian interests downstream, for generating power, and for evacuating water and silt from the reservoir. These gated openings normally are fitted with coarse screens at the upstream ends to prevent entry of floating and submerged debris. Provision for cleaning these screens is essential.
4. Cultural Interrelation: The gates were mitre shaped (perhaps based on earlier designs by Leonardo da Vinci) which caused the gates to close tightly due to the pressure of water.

Accelerating the post-carbon transition:
Lessons from COP24
Rupert Stuart-Smith
Held among the chimneys of industrial southern Poland in December, COP24 – the most recent UN climate conference – saw the familiar combination of political posturing, procrastination and pleas to prevent the devastation promised by inaction on climate change.
Despite widely publicised contention at the conference over whether to 'welcome' or 'note' the IPCC's recent Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C and eleventh-hour grandstanding over rules on double-counting of emission reductions through offsetting, welcome procedural progress was made on the development of the 'rulebook' for enacting the Paris Agreement. Nonetheless, the challenges to the success of international climate diplomacy were clear: agreement on some important decisions was postponed to next year and the lack of ambition of some high-emitting countries drew the derision of observers.
Conducting interviews for the Oxford Martin School at COP, the contrast between public hopes for the UN process to keep global warming in check, and the cynicism of delegates was clear. Few interviewees – negotiators, campaigners, lawyers, and academics – spoke assuredly of the potential of intergovernmental climate diplomacy to deliver the rapid decarbonisation needed of the global economy. But with abundant opportunities to move to a net-zero economy identified, the Paris Agreement may still act as a much needed catalyst, promoting international cooperation and driving up the ambition of national and sub-national climate action.
Our interviews sought to elicit potential 'sensitive intervention points' – relatively small interventions which would deliver outsized results through triggering positive feedbacks – in the transition to a post-carbon society. Suggestions for the social, economic, political and technological measures which could produce meaningful emission reductions were varied. But what was clear was that sub-state actors including cities, businesses and individuals have a vital role to play in emission reductions and encouraging the implementation of national-level climate policy.
Plummeting costs of renewables have already stimulated investment in decarbonising electricity generation around the world. Looking forward, interviewees cited the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) as an indication that transport may offer the next major opportunity for emission reductions. In turn, utilities may incorporate idle EVs into 'smart grids', utilising the storage capacity of EV batteries to smooth out intermittent renewable energy supply. And cities are rethinking urban design to prioritise low-carbon travel, investing in mass transit, EV charging, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure. If cities play their cards right, a revolution in urban mobility beckons.
Achieving the rapid decarbonisation needed to limit warming to well below 2 °C, as is demanded by the Paris Agreement, also requires climate risk to be integrated into the economic system. The increasingly apparent costs of climate change have amplified the issue's salience to the investment community. Extreme weather events, unsuccessful climate change mitigation and adaptation, water crises, biodiversity loss and manmade environmental disasters now top the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report.
Exposure to assets that would be stranded by climate change mitigation policies is of growing concern to investors and corporate assessment methodologies such as the Transition Pathway Initiative have been developed to help investors manage this risk. At the Oxford Martin School, we have emphasised the need for firms to publish plans to eliminate net greenhouse gas emissions within three decades if they are to be considered 'Paris-compliant'.
Increased investor focus on climate change is also needed to deliver the US$2.4 trillion annual investment in the energy system required to hold warming to 1.5 °C. And growing climate concern in investor and corporate circles may create the political space for effective policymaking to drive the transition to a post-carbon society.
Intergovernmental climate negotiations should also promote cooperation and drive up ambition as countries negotiate common climate targets. As the nexus between state and sub-state climate action, the UN climate process integrates cities, states, businesses, and others into international emission reduction and climate change adaptation efforts.
Nonetheless, the lasting image of COP24 should not be that of conference president Michał Kurtyka vaulting the podium of the plenary hall in an act of triumphant – and misplaced – self-congratulation as an agreement was finally reached. Rather, the defiance and moral clarity of 15-year old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg in her address to delegates shining light on the challenges ahead.
Yet around the world, individuals, cities and companies are demonstrating that a transition to a post-carbon society is possible. The growing school strike movement has given climate change a new and inescapable political salience. The front lines of efforts to stop climate change are now all around us: in the courts, boardrooms, cities, and with the rise of veganism, our kitchens.

Note: This tutorial assumes that you have completed the previous tutorials: beginner level tutorials.
Description: This tutorial covers using the simple_action_server library to create an averaging action server. This example shows how to use an action to process or react to incoming data from ros nodes. The action server averages data from a ros node, the goal is the number of samples to average, the feedback is the sample number, the sample data, the current average, and current standard deviation, and the result is the average and standard deviation of the requested number of samples.
In the action constructor, an action server is created. The action server takes arguments of a node handle, name of the action, and optionally an executeCB. In this example the action server is created without the arguments for the executeCB. Instead the goal and preempt callbacks are registered with the action server in the constructor for the action after the action server has been constructed.
Here a callback is setup for the data that will be processed by the action and the action server is started.
Here is the goalCB function referenced in the constructor. The callback function returns nothing and takes no arguments. When the goalCB is called the action needs to accept the goal and store any important information. If you need to see the goal before you accept it, see the SimpleActionServer(ExecuteCallbackMethod) tutorial.
This action is event driven, the action code only runs when the callbacks occur therefore a preempt callback is created to ensure that the action responds promptly to a cancel request. The callback function takes no arguments and sets preempted on the action server.
Here the analysis callback takes the message format of the subscribed data channel and checks that the action is still in an active state before continuing to process the data.
Here the relevant data is put into the feedback variable and then published on the feedback channel provided by the action server.
Once adequate data has been collected, the action server is set to success or failure. This will deactivate the action server and the analysisCB function will return immediately as discussed previously.
These are the protected variables of the action class. The node handle is constructed and passed into the action server during construction of the action. The action server is constructed in the constructor of the action and has been discussed above. The feedback and result messages are created for publishing in the action. The subscriber is also constructed to save the node handle.
For the next step in using your action, you need to Ctrl-C the action server and write a threaded simple action client.

There are many benefits to creating your own home office including the ability to better juggle work and family commitments, and avoid the hustle and bustle of the journeys to/from 'the office'.
But, when starting for the first time, there is also the exciting prospect of designing a home office space for yourself. One that you'll love to work in and that will make you really productive in your new space.
Pinterest is wonderful for inspiration, but don't forget that 'looking fabulous' doesn't necessarily mean 'feeling fabulous'… That great looking upholstered side chair may look fantastic, but will it really support your back?
Think about colour schemes; bright, vibrant colours may look brilliant online or in magazines, but will they really fit into your home in a way that you want to face on a daily basis? Consider if more muted tones might better collaborate working and living.
The ideal home office must be functional first and aesthetic second.
Many people make the mistake of choosing a home office desk first, and then a home office chair. Think about this though; you are going to spend several hours a day sat in your chair and therefore a comfortable ergonomic office chair is a must.
That doesn't mean you should forget about office ergonomics though. You should aim to keep the top of your screen at eye level; keep your shoulders relaxed and your arms at a 90 degree bend. Your lower back needs to be correctly supported by adjusting your chair; your feet should be flat to the floor and your legs should be supported and bent at a comfortable 90 degree angle too.
Invest in a chair that you love sitting in; without this basic comfort you will not embrace your home office surroundings.
It is easy to grab a spot against a wall for your home office, possibly in a dark corner to surround yourself with pin boards… Don't though.
Why not place your home office desk in front of a window… this will give you the benefit of natural light and the opportunity to seek inspiration from outside surroundings.
Don't forget though, you are going to need additional office lighting for the dark days; house lights are likely to be inadequate for a work environment.
Let's face it, office filing cabinets are never going to rank as the most attractive office filing solution; especially in a home office environment. However, there are plenty of shelving and cabinet alternatives available that will keep you tidy and organised in your work.
So, you've chosen an area for your home office, and you're well on the way to thinking through your office chair, office desk and home office storage requirements.
However, a great home office will include a soft furnishing area for you to sit and read or just think too.
Bring the outside indoors with some plants; they're known to make people feel happier and are a rarity in a conventional office.
Don't fill your work space with things that will distract you; and don't let ornaments or pictures become static furniture… Rotate them regularly and include things that will motivate you to succeed and progress.
Hide away the bits you don't like!
It's your home office, but remember it's still your home so take the time to hide away unsightly trailing cables and make use of cable management systems.
Also, if you want to keep minimalistic in your surroundings hide away anything you need to use but don't necessarily like the look of like printers and scanners.
Remember, you are your own boss and you need to keep on top of what you need; you don't want to waste precious work time shooting out for supplies. Keep a good supply of all the basics like pens, scissors, paper and stamps in place and order replacements as stocks get low.


The pilot of McLaren Fernando Alonso continues to feed his fans with Breakfast about the future of his career.Fernando Alonso "next week, I think everything will become clearer".Earlier, the Spaniard had promised to announce his decision during the Grand Prix of Malaysia, then in the course of the Grand Prix of Japan.
Carlos Sainz goes to Renault, and its place in the Grand Prix of the USA will take Daniil Kvyat. Pierre went Out, likely to miss the American stage, remained in Japan to fight for the title of champion of the SuperFormula, and now Toro Rosso is looking for a replacement. Among the candidates - Sergey Sirotkin, test driver of Renault.It is known that Malaysia was a discussion regarding the performance of Sirotkin in the Toro Rosso. Russian this year ran some tests and Friday practice behind the wheel of a Renault RS17.In support Sirotkin made the leader of the team Renault Nico Hulkenberg "Sergei has earned a place in Formula 1. He showed excellent speed and good feedback".Meanwhile, the place in the Toro Rosso also claimed the reserve pilot Red Bull's Sebastian Buemi and IndyCar champion Josef newgarden's.
For the Malaysian Grand Prix the Mercedes team has prepared an updated aerodynamics. However Lewis Hamilton after Friday's practice, declined updates, and then won the pole and finished second in the race. At the same time, Valtteri Bottas with a new aerodynamics qualified fifth, and later finished fifth.Already in Japan Hamilton confessed that he doubted the latest Mercedes.Lewis Hamilton "the Decision to use new products in Japan is not accepted, we are discussing the situation. Engineers want to go in one direction, and I feel that we should go the other way.I trust the team. She wants to win so much as I do. Sure, we will take the right decision".
Former Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo has supported Ferrari for the background of criticism of the reliability of the Italian team in Malaysia.Luca di Montezemolo "I think that everybody now understands that the Scuderia is close to Mercedes. The world Cup is a difficult struggle, but there are still five races, and with this machine you can win.It is very important to have fast car. The Scuderia may be first and second in the last race. Better to have a fast car that can break than a reliable car that's always right behind you".
Pilots Ferrari Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen urged his fans to remain calm after disappointing results the last two Grand Prix.Sebastian Vettel "It neoidealist situation. Yes, it's a shame that we got the machines two of the same defect for several days in a row, but we have the right to complain about the low reliability during the whole year.This happens when you are at the limit, as we are now. The truth is that we have a car that can win anywhere. I think we are faster than Mercedes. Malaysia was a difficult weekend, but our speed is promising.Kimi Raikkonen "there's No reason to blame anyone. We had a very difficult weekend in Malaysia, but I am sure that we all take control".
Director Haas Gunther Steiner defended the Danish driver Kevin Magnussen, whom the press have dubbed the "bad boy".In Hungary Magnussen live rude Nico Hulkenberg after he called Kevin the most unsporting driver in Formula 1. And Fernando Alonso agreed with this statement after the Grand Prix in Malaysia. The Spaniard called Magnussen's an idiot after a collision at Sepang.Fernando Alonso "More or less pilots agree that Kevin behaves on the road like an idiot. Against him 19 pilots."Gunther Steiner "Alonso is a very charismatic and skilled pilot. And if someone will face with him, so he responds. I think they both went to the limit of the possible, and what the people want.Every pilot must go through a hard time and deserve respect. If you ever get out of the way, people think through you can just pass through. Thus, you'll be protected until you overdo it.So, even if he will get a bit of a bad reputation, he can turn around later".
The Williams driver lance Stroll to race Grand Prix of Malaysia finished eighth. After the checkered flag he was faced with Sebastian Vettel.Lance Stroll "it was hot Today, and now I understand what everyone said before the start of this Grand Prix. Now I understand what heat is. I am very happy with the result, which was fantastic. I finished 8th, starting from 13-th place. I struggled a lot throughout the race, worked with tires, fought with a partner. Our double finish in glasses - a good result for the team.Already on the circle return to the boxes I was calmly driving along its trajectory, turned off various switches on the steering wheel, suddenly came down on me Vettel if the race was still going on".


What to do on the weekend when you're far from home on a business trip is often a question, but not in Alaska! Polycom's friend, Greg Zorbas and his delightful wife Cathy, invited me to their home near Soldotna.
Greg not only knows Alaska, he experiences it on a daily basis. Originally we'd talked about whitewater rafting but low water precluded that. Instead we hit the water on a fishing expedition two of them, in fact. The first was on the Kenai River. The salmon were running and the moose (see picture!) were walking. I hooked one salmon – doubtless the biggest fish I've ever landed – and concluded, yep, I'm good and I can fish!
Well, then we went out on Kachemak Bay. It's sort of like ocean and the water moves up and down more. So, the good news is that we caught twelve halibut and one cod. You can see them in the picture. You can also see me holding a white bucket. I got to know that bucket real well. Yep, when that boat started going up and down, my innards kind of did that, too … although, in my case, more up than down.
Now, the truth is we had a great time and I recovered to eat the "catch of the day" that evening. But mountain biking around Russian River Falls is maybe more where this landlubber girl belongs.
Stay tuned for Monday, Day 6! Polycom connects a great bunch of teachers – big fun – and there's no white bucket anywhere in sight!

Karen is beyond the camera's eye but her sister is visible to us. And although we cannot see Karen, I infer from her sisters nudging that perhaps she was a bit timid and shy. Maybe Karen was nervous about singing in front of the standing room only coliseum.
Her sister uttered two words decipherable only through lip sync and accompanied by a beat keeping hand clap: "Go on," she said.
And Karen both receives and follows her sister's instructions. Karen takes the microphone. She stutters initially. Then, while walking forward, she offers a soul stirring verse replete with octave changing vocals like only she, THE Karen Clark Sheard, can do.

As you can see on the snippet, my code has navbar and icons in the navbar.
But when I make navbar or browser narrower, the icon glyphicon-comment, glyphicon-list-alt, glyphicon-user goes ugly.
I want these icons remain as if browser are enough wide.
Those icons are going left of the browser too much closely. I don't know why this happened.
How can I make these icons keep their position whatever browser's wide is.
Only searchbar and other something can be collapsed.
But the other things should maintain their same position.
How can I make those icon are fixed on their position regardless of browser's wideness?

A: Ensure you have wrapped the contents within both a row and then also use columns to layout the contents within this row.
The below is now updated to include both of these and now offsets the negative margin at mobile viewports.

From December 9th – 14th, residents of Moscow and guests of the capital will be able to see a unique exhibition, "Mysteries of the World's Calligraphy" at the Modern Museum of Calligraphy. It is part of a socio-educational project to revive the tradition of Russia's culture of writing, reveal the beauty of calligraphy to the general public, and to revive it as an art of human intelligence and the human soul that is accessible to everyone. There will be works by the best calligraphic schools from 26 countries as well as historical manuscripts, letters and documents of great rarity, collections of hand-written books from private collections as well as writing tools of different eras. The first and only hand-written version of the Constitution of the Russian Federation will be an item of special interest on display.
The project was launched in St. Petersburg on September 16th, 2008 where an International Calligraphy Exhibition was held. The visitors were struck not just by its remarkable exhibits but also by the calligraphic mini-performances and its musical design as well. Moscow visitors of the exhibit will be in for even more surprises; however the organizers of the event, the Moscow Exhibition Company MVK, are keeping information about it a strict secret.
