TSM teases SwordArt deal with rumors of a $3 million salary
Team SoloMid may soon announce the introduction of a popular LPL player to North America. According to sources, Suning's current support player Hu "SwordArt" Shuo-Chieh may replace Vincent "Biofrost" Wang for TSM's 2021 starting roster. Current TSM support, Erik "Treatz" Wessén, and TSM owner, Andy "Reginald" Dinh, have added fuel to the fire with teases alluding to the deal on Twitter.
I've been binging SAO, really good anime

SwordArt joining NA
SwordArt joining TSM may be one of the team's biggest decisions for the start of the year. The veteran League of Legends player is only 2 weeks fresh out of playing in this year's World Championship Finals and is currently on the lookout for new opportunities. Removing him from Suning to TSM is a pricey move for North America, as it is also rumored that he'll receive a $3 million annual salary.

Before joining Suning, SwordArt had an impressive resume with legendary LMS organization, Flash Wolves. He helped his team reach first place in the both 2017 and 2018 League Master Series Spring and Summer Playoffs. Once joining Suning, he managed to achieve first place in the LPL 2020 Regional Finals. Soon after, Suning came in second place for this year's World Championship against Damwon Gaming. Although he's participated in Worlds six times, this is the first time he's gotten so far in the tournament.

TSM's underwhelming results at Worlds shook the whole team up and even pushed their new head coach and then-mid laner Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg to call their overall performance an "embarrassment." Adding SwordArt to the team might just be the boost they need, especially after losing Bjergsen from the mid lane. Treatz teased the soon-to-be-official deal to his Twitter fans by posting two emojis of crossed swords and a framed painting. Dinh also shared that he's been binge-watching popular anime Sword Art Online, teasing TSM's future deal with SwordArt.
While there's no confirmed news as of yet, fans are expecting to hear from TSM regarding their new roster soon.

lEA Triumphs Over RotorMotion In Closely Fought 'Aviation Polo Challenge'
Posted on September 3, 2012 by Marc Cornelius - Aviation, Press Releases, Transport, Travel
London, England, September 3, 2012 – London Executive Aviation (LEA), one of Europe's largest business jet charter operators, is celebrating victory over top helicopter charter business RotorMotion in the second annual 'Aviation Polo Challenge'.
Held on Saturday, September 1 at Hurtwood Park Polo Country Club in Surrey, the pro-am match saw a nail-biting finish, as the LEA team staged a dramatic comeback in the final chukka to secure a 6-4 victory.
LEA team captain and managing director George Galanopoulos says: "As a passionate polo player, I am delighted the sport enables us to bring so many industry colleagues and friends together for a day of family celebrations. This year's match was a real tussle, so the crowd saw some first-rate action from both teams. With the addition of delicious barbecue-style food from the traditional Argentinean asado, and a selection of RotorMotion's superb Agusta 109 helicopters to admire, there was definitely something for everyone to enjoy."
With the day's emphasis upon family fun and entertainment, other attractions included a wooden polo pony, giving guests an opportunity for a taster polo lesson, and a raffle to win a helicopter flight, through which a large sum was raised for the 'Children in Need' charity appeal.
Rival team captain Philip Louis Amadeus, managing director of RotorMotion, says: "Once again, we are indebted to Embraer Executive Jets as the day's sponsor. Embraer is a great supporter of business aviation in so many ways and without the company's involvement we would not be able to stage such a successful event.
"The record turnout of over 300 people and a party atmosphere that continued well into the evening shows how popular the 'Aviation Polo Challenge' has become with the business aviation community. Along with LEA, RotorMotion is committed to the event as an annual fixture and, of course, we look forward to regaining the trophy from LEA next year!"
The winners' trophy was presented by legendary rock drummer and Hurtwood owner Kenney Jones. Famous from his involvement with bands including the 'Small Faces', the 'Faces' and 'The Who', Jones is a helicopter pilot and avid polo player.

From The Internet Movie Plane Database
Gloster Meteor seen in The Story of Aviation .
The Gloster Meteor was the first British jet fighter and the Allies' first operational jet. It first flew in 1943 and commenced operations on 27 July 1944 with 616 Squadron of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Gloster Meteor was not an aerodynamically advanced aircraft but the Gloster design team succeeded in producing an effective jet fighter that served the RAF and other air forces for decades. Meteors saw action with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in the Korean War, and remained in service with numerous air forces until the 1970s.
Almost 4000 aircrafts built.

Q: Uploading byte[] in BLOB mysql seems chopped up, why? Hi guys how're u doing:
Im trying to upload images via enctype="multipart/form-data" to mysql row and Im getting strange results:
Java JSP to view the image:
 <a href="viewevent?id=<%= viewevent.getId()%>">
    <img alt="" class="img-responsive image1" src="ViewImage?id=<%= viewevent.getId() %>">

Java ViewImage servlet method to view images:
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    String id = request.getParameter("id");

    DataAccess bd = new DataAccess();
    bd.openConnection();
    ResultSet rs = bd.exQuery("SELECT * FROM eventos WHERE id="+id , "SELECT");

    try{
        while(rs.next()){
            response.setContentType("image/png");
            System.out.println(rs.getBytes("foto"));
            response.getOutputStream().write(rs.getBytes("foto"));

            response.reset();
            response.setContentType("image/png");
            // Write image content to response.
            response.getOutputStream().write(rs.getBytes("foto"));
        }
        bd.closeConnection();
    }catch(Exception e){
        System.out.println("Error cogiendo foto");
    }

}

Java JSP to upload images:
                    <form action="addevent" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                        ...

                            Image
                            <input name="foto" id="imagen" type=file accept=".jpg, .jpeg, .png">

                       ...
                    </form>

And addevent servlet code to upload the image:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    ...
    Part foto = request.getPart("foto");
    ...
    byte[] data = new byte[(int) foto.getSize()];
    foto.getInputStream().read(data, 0, data.length);

    bd.exQuery("UPDATE eventos SET foto = '"+data+"' WHERE titulo='"+titulo+"';", "UPDATE");
    bd.closeConnection();
...

}

When i save BLOB files from MySQL as txt files i get following contents:
[B@2a83de12
[B@3d00eeab
...

As u can see when I save them as txt I only get some characters... with this code Im not being able to upload images and view them on src. I dont know what Im doing wrong but this wont work...
Thanks in advance!

A: bd.exQuery("UPDATE eventos SET foto = '"+data+"' WHERE titulo='"+titulo+"';", "UPDATE");

The problem is here. You are doing SQL string concatenation, which invokes byte[].toString(), which yields results like [B@2a83de12. You should be using a prepared statement with argument markers, and providing the BLOBs via arguments to the prepared statement:
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("UPDATE eventos SET foto = ? WHERE titulo=?");
ps.setObject(1, data);
ps.setObject(2, titulo);
int rowCount = ps.executeUpdate();

With the Australian ski and snowboarding season in full swing, I'm sure many medical and health practitioners are seeing patients with injuries sustained up on the slopes.
Skiing and snowboarding does have a reputation of being a risky sport, but the overall injury rate for skiers is a little lower than you may expect with 3 injuries per 1000 skier days (1)(2). Put another way, if you ski 20 days a year, on average you'll sustain an injury every 16-17 years. Snowboarders have a higher injury risk with a reported 4-16 injuries per 1000 snowboarder days (3).
There have been a number of studies that have looked at the incidence and severity of ski and snowboarding injuries, and in general skiers tend to sustain more knee injuries whereas snowboarders are more vulnerable to injuries of the upper limb. The most recent paper to look into this was published in the Scandinavian Journal of Surgery this year (4), and the authors retrospectively analyzed all the injuries sustained at the Levi Ski Resort in Finland over a 6-year period (2006-2012). This study reported a slightly lower rate to previous statistics with an overall injury rate of 1.97 per 1000 skier days. Maybe the Finish ski and ride a little more safely, are more experienced, or maybe improvements in equipment technology (bindings, wrist guards etc) and resort safety measures (slow signs, safety netting etc) are having an impact.
Anatomical locations of injuries were similar to previous studies with the bulk of injuries to skiers being to the lower extremity (42%), most of which were the knee. Injuries were also noted for the upper extremity (34%), head (15%), and spinal column (6%). Respective figures for the snowboarders were lower extremity 17%, upper extremity 59%, head 12%, and spinal column 9%. Sixty one percent of the upper extremity injuries to snowboarders were to the wrist, hand or thumb.

Valerie Cheers Brown, Entrepreneur, author, researcher, stakeholder, blogger, activist.
One of the uncommon individuals I've met amid my exploration is John Pepper, 77, who was determined to have Parkinson's over two decades back. He was put taking drugs, but since of a program he created was in the end ready to quit taking it nine years prior.
However he doesn't seem to have the exemplary side effects: no rearranging stride or tremor; he has great parity and appears to walk flawlessly typically.
When Pepper, a businessman who lives in South Africa, was first analyzed, he went through two years drooped in a seat, 'feeling frustrated about myself'.
He at that point vowed to adjust his frame of mind. 'Since it is a development issue, I expected the more I moved, the slower the Parkinson's eventually ready to assume control over my life,' he said.
He stalled the typically intricate programmed action of strolling into different parts and examined every single muscle compression, development, and a move of weight.
It took him over time of rehearsing to disguise these changes. His strolling ended up ordinary, as long as he focused.
With change occurring so step by step, Pepper just belatedly started to understand that some of his Parkinson's manifestations, for example, his tremor, had either improved or vanished.
Strolling is a standout amongst the most dominant neuroplastic mediations. When we walk quick, we produce new cells in the hippocampus, the cerebrum zone that assumes a key job in transforming momentary recollections into long haul ones.
Strolling may likewise advance mind development factors – or explicitly a cerebrum substance called glial-determined neurotrophic factor (GDNF).
This advances the improvement and survival of dopamine-creating neurons, the cells that vanish in Parkinson's. GDNF likewise enables the sensory system to recuperate from damage.
He has now shown many individual Parkinson's sufferers how to move all the more openly.
Science is at long last making up for lost time with him. In 2014 an investigation of Parkinson's patients by the University of Iowa found that a half year of strolling three times each week for 45 minutes improved their indications and decreased weakness.
Not all neuroplastic changes are gainful, be that as it may. With our regular utilization of PCs and screens, we are overhauling our visual frameworks to focus on what's before our eyes.
U.S. youngsters are thought to go through as long as 11 hours daily taking a gander at screens. Their fringe vision is being underused, which means they are less ready to see things at the edges of their vision – vision misfortune is all the more generally observed in more seasoned individuals.
In any case, PCs can help overhaul individuals' eyes and cerebrums to utilize their fringe vision completely. U.S. neuroscientist Dr. Michael Merzenich and his associates created PC based neuroplastic activities to extend fringe vision in older individuals to keep them driving (one includes watching autos on a screen and considering pictures as an afterthought).
Another organization, Novavision has created cerebrum practices that can help individuals who had strokes, mental wounds, or mind malignant growth medical procedure that have fundamentally decreased their vision.
It's another case of the capability of neuroplasticity, and verification that many 'hopeless' or 'irreversible' issues can improve. The mind truly can recuperate itself.

Rihanna likes spanking, hates Chris Brown
by Meagan Morris
Mar 30, 2011 at 3:07 pm EDT
Rihanna isn't shy about her bedroom preferences, and she spills the juicy details on her sex life and feelings about Chris Brown in the new issue of Rolling Stone.
Rihanna wrote from personal experience when she sang "whips and chains excite me" in her current hit S&M. She tells Rolling Stone magazine that she loves being spanked in the boudoir.
"I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun. I like to keep it spontaneous," she told Rolling Stone. "Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned — you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs. I'd rather have him use his hands."
Yikes! We'll take her word for it.
There is one thing she won't tolerate though: Chris Brown.
"We don't have to talk ever again in my life," Rihanna said. "I just didn't want to make it more difficult for him professionally. What he did was a personal thing — it had nothing to do with his career. Saying he has to be a hundred feet away from me, he can't perform at awards shows – that definitely made it difficult for him."
That's definitely considerate of her.
"I didn't want people to see me cry. I didn't want people to feel bad for me. It was a very vulnerable time in my life, and I refused to let that be the image. I wanted them to see me as, 'I'm fine, I'm tough.' I put that up until it felt real."
Well, she surely does seem tough if she enjoys pain in those intimate moments.
"Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun," she said. "You get to be a little lady, to have somebody be macho and in charge… That's fun to me."

On Saturday, June 3rd, 2017, 318 keiki builders imagined big and created a LEGO® inspired city of Honolulu with their favorite Hawaii landmarks—both manmade and natural, using over 20,000 LEGO®! The event was the kickoff to Hawaii State Library's Summer Reading Program.
Hawaii's First Lady Dawn Amano-Ige was amazed and tickled to add the LEGOR-esque version of her favorite President Abraham Lincoln landmark statue that proudly stands at the front of her alma mater Ewa Elementary School.
You and the Play-Well TEKnologies team "Build a Better World" in all that you do!
We deeply appreciate all of your efforts to help us build a successful kick-off event for the Hawaii State Public Library System's 2017 Summer Reading Program. It was truly awesome to witness a total of 318 keiki builders imagine big and create even bigger a LEGOR-inspired city with their favorite Hawaii landmarks—both manmade and natural!
Your team's super positive encouragement and warm demeanor combined with the 20,000 LEGOR bricks were a winning combination to building super-sized smiles from all the participants and their family members partaking in the build.
We received many glowing reviews at the event from keiki and their families who shared how much the enjoyed the activity. Even Hawaii's First Lady Dawn Amano-Ige was amazed and tickled to show off the LEGOR–esque version of her favorite President Abraham Lincoln that you created for her to add the landmark statue that proudly stands at the front of her alma mater Ewa Elementary School.
Again, thank you very much for helping our public libraries to kick off the summer of reading to "Build a Better World".

Happy New Year – 2013 in review
2013 was a busy and expansive year for Library Juice Academy and Library Juice Press. We thought you'd be interested in some highlights.
This was our first full year of offering online classes for librarians' professional development, having started the first classes in October of 2012. In 2013, we passed the 1000 mark in the number of people served, and they registered from a total of 20 countries. There are currently over 80 classes on the books. Our instructors are getting a raise in 2014, to show our appreciation for their work. We have a lot of repeat customers, and as our testimonials show, people have been happy with their educational experiences:
2013 saw the first round of two successful certificate programs: the Certificate in User Experience (UX) and the Certificate in XML and RDF-Based Systems. In 2014 they will be running again, and we will also be introducing two new programs: a Certificate in Library Management, with Deborah Schmidle as the course designer and instructor, and a Certificate in Library Cataloging, with Scott Piepenburg at the helm. We are excited about these programs and encourage you to read about them on the website.
As a spin-off of the certificate program in UX, the instructors for those courses had a small unconference at the University of Arizona, in Tucson, where they all gave presentations on the topics that they each cover. Their presentations were recorded and are publicly available. This conference was useful in making adjustments to the certificate program for next year.
In early 2013 we experimented with webinars as an alternative to our usual asynchronous mode of course delivery, and decided not to continue offering webinars. Webinars are inconvenient in their requirement that everybody attend at the same time, and unappealing to many people. It was a useful experiment in that it gave us confidence in continuing to focus on Moodle as our platform for course delivery.
2013 also saw the beginning of successful partnerships with the Metropolitan Library Council of NYC (METRO), the Solo Division of SLA, and the MOBIUS consortium of Missouri.
On the publishing side, with Library Juice Press and Litwin Books, 2013 was also a busy year. We attended ALA in Chicago in the summer, and ASIS&T in Montreal in November, and enjoyed talking to many people about our publications. We will be at ALA in Philadelphia in January and in Las Vegas this summer, and look forward to seeing you there.
2013 saw our first book award victory. Our book Greening Libraries , edited by Monika Antonelli and Mark McCullough, won top honors in the Business category of the Green Book Awards.
Library Juice Press and Litwin Books debuted our own awards in 2013 as well. This past summer saw the first annual Litwin Books Award for Ongoing Doctoral Dissertation Research in the Philosophy of Information, which went to Steve McKinlay, of Charles Sturt University, New South Wales, Australia. In the Fall, we gave the first award in the annual Library Juice Paper Contest, which went to Ryan Shaw, for "Information Organization and the Philosophy of History," published in JASIST in June 2013.
It was a fairly busy year for book publishing as well, in terms of the number of titles published. Library Juice Press released four new titles, and Litwin Books released three. They are as follows:
From Library Juice Press:
Information Literacy and Social Justice: Radical Professional Praxis, edited by Shana Higgins and Lua Gregory
Feminist Pedagogy for Library Instruction, by Maria Accardi
Jesse Shera, Librarianship, and Information Science, by H. Curtis Wright
Lenny and Nina are Buried in Books, by Linda Cooper
From Litwin Books:
Feminist and Queer Information Studies Reader, edited by Patrick Keilty and Rebecca Dean
Voltaire's Fanaticism, or Mahomet the Prophet: A New Translation, translated by Hanna Burton
Import of the Archive: U.S. Colonial Rule of the Philippines and the Making of American Archival History, by Cheryl Beredo
We also tried something unprecedented in 2013, which was to make it possible to "join Library Juice" as a member. Membership in Library Juice comes with benefits such as a discount on online classes, DRM-free downloads of titles in our backlist, and participation in an online community.
Finally I want to mention a pet project that is not technically a Library Juice project, but something that I have been working on on the side with an old friend. It is an experiment in community information that allows people to post messages on an electronic sign inside a local business, using their smart phones or computers. The project is described at http://this-sign.net/. Our first digital sign is set up at a local gourmet donut shop called Doughbot, in Sacramento. You can actually access the sign to post your friendly hellos and donut-related messages at http://doughbot.this-sign.net/. We are excited about this experiment and open to ideas about how to develop it for library spaces, among other things. Feel free to contact me if this idea interests you.
Thank you for being with us for 2013, and we look forward to working with you in 2014.

Last weekend I happened to pick up an odd number of the IPC weekly Pink (no.139, Nov. 22nd 1975), and in the light of today's discussion about the differences between traditional girls' comics (Bunty, School Friend, etc.) and romance comics (Jackie, Romeo, etc.) on the '100 Greatest Girls' Serials' thread I thought it'd be interesting to examine the five picture-strips contained in this particular issue in a bit more detail.
First comes a 3-page serial called 'Remember, Rosanna...Remember!' in which an amnesiac singer tries to recover her memory in order to find out why she is wanted by the police.
To my mind this is probably the weakest strip in the issue, with an irritating number of pictures in which Rosanna is shown gazing tearfully into the middle distance. In spite of this, however, there is very little romance to be found, with the mystery of a stolen painting providing the main focus of the plot.
Next there's a stylishly-drawn 3-page episode of 'Sugar Jones', about a glamorous but self-centred model and her more down-to-earth PA. Although this particular story does little more than underline Sugar's vanity and greed there are some intriguing hints about her past which suggest that she is in reality very much older than she looks...perhaps even immortal!
Then comes 'Patty's World' - perhaps the best, and best-known of Pink's strips. Drawn, as ever, by Purita Campos this fascinating and realistic series features a central character who is allowed to grow older in 'real time' - to the extent that here she already seems noticeably more grown up than when her earliest adventures began in the pages of Princess Tina. In time, of course, she became an adult with a daughter of her own, and - though her strip is no longer published in the UK - it continues to this day in Spain.
And finally we have 'The Island of Stones' and 'The Sea People' - two 3-page serials that deal with fantastic elements that might have been more at home in the pages of Misty:
...Obviously Judy has never seen 'The Wicker Man', as she decides to ignore the train guard's advice and spend the night in this creepy Cornish village in the middle of nowhere!
While it's true that the protagonists of all these stories tend to be a little older than the schoolgirl-heroines of more traditional girls' comics I think it'd be a mistake to dismiss them under the generic label of 'Romance'. In fact, as far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be a single 'Swoon', 'Sob' or 'SWALK' in any of them - nor even an 'Oh Brad!'
(...I could have done without the Gary Glitter centrefold though! )

Yes, Sugar is older than she looks. There's a running gag about her wearing a wig to hide it.

Just for the record and I'm not sure if it helps, but 'Patty's World' and 'Sugar Jones' feature in all three 'Pink summer' specials that I have.
It's nice to see older girls having similar adventures to the ones in the girls' comics.

I like a lot of the stories that feature in Pink, I've been buying and selling on issues and have scanned all the stories to read and keep (originally I was just collecting Patty's World episodes, but there are lots of other excellent stories too). Quite a few wouldn't have been out of place in Misty as you say, Phil.
My older sister used to get Pink every week right from the first issue and from that time the stand-out story I remember reading was Sugar Jones, then later on Patty's World. It's only since I've recently started buying and selling Pink issues that I can appreciate a lot of the other stories it carried.

I note that "The Sea People" looks very much like it is drawn by Ron Lumsden. Nice stuff!
jintycomic.wordpress.com/ Excellent and weird stories from the past - with amazing art to boot.
Not 100% sure it is Lumsden, though I can see some Lumsden style in it.

It's the conductor's face in that first page that makes me pretty sure it is him. The rest of the style is a bit different to the one story of his that I know (the Clancy one in Jinty) but that face is a clincher for me.
David Roach confirms that it is Lumsden.
"Remember Rosanna...Remember!" is Juliana Buch. I wonder who drew "The Island of Stones" and "Sugar Jones"?
They're both signed 'Busom'. According to David that's Rafael Busom.

Love that 70s vibe in this comic, which I do actually remember.
These comics are very useful for reference in drawing the female form, one of the toughest art challenges of all in my view.

Nice to see these scans. Except for 'Patty's world', these have all been reprinted in Anita in the Netherlands. (Patty's world was reprinted in Tina.) Anita was a comic for slightly older girls than the readers of Tina, with a lot of mystery and romance. I always wondered from which UK comic Anita took her stories, and now I know many must have come from Pink.
In an interview, Pat Mills says he wrote Sugar Jones.

The key to WordPress speed and performance is simplicity. Less plugins means more WordPress speed and performance. There is a good reason for that.
WordPress plugins are pieces of code outside the WordPress core. They exist in a parallel universe so to speak. For the plugins to be useful and functional they have to make a jump in the WordPress core world.
This is when WordPress performance and speed starts to decrease. When WordPress plugins make the jump, WordPress core has to stop. Run the plugin. Then continue with its stuff.
In today's world with super cheap, super fast servers and software that's not a big problem. Everything happens in milliseconds. Extra functionality wins over a small drop in WordPress performance.
Things start to get ugly when there are lots of plugin jumps. Every WordPress plugin takes a bit of time to run. Put all together and milliseconds sum up to half a second or seconds.
If you care about WordPress speed it's important to choose your WordPress plugins wisely. Keep it simple. Choose plugins with good code and simple functionality. Run tests using tools like Debug Objects. Measure performance before and after installing the plugin. Decide what is more important to you. A delay in script execution or extra functionality.
WordPress performance is one thing. User perceived speed is another. If you care about your visitors your website should load in a snap. You want to maximize WordPress performance and improve visitor perceived time.
Trying to find a balance between the two is hard. Don't worry. I have you covered. This is my 2015 WordPress performance tips and plugins for you.
I've been using WP Super Cache forever. Then I switched to W3 Total Cache (W3TC) for 4 years. Now i'm back to WP Super Cache for a good reason. Simplicity.
WP Super Cache is made by the same people who make WordPress. It solves a single problem. Page caching. That's it. Nothing else.
Simple and fast. It also supports CDNs but i don't use this functionality. More about that later.
Switching back to WP Super Cache from W3 Total Cache created a problem. Optimizing CSS and JS files. This is where Autoptimize plugin kicks in.
Autoptimize is super easy to configure and effective.
Page caching, scripts and styles optimization take place on the server. There is more you can do to increase the perceived speed of WordPress. This is what Instant Articles do.
With page pre-render the browser loads WordPress posts and pages in the background. It does all the work in a hidden tab. When a user click on the pre-rendered post it appears instantly. Because it's already loaded but hidden.
Link Subresource hints the browser for high priority files. Think your website's main CSS file or important JS files.
These are technologies Google Instant Search and Facebook Instant Articles use. Cutting edge stuff. Now available to WordPress.
CloudFlare adds a CDN to your website. Content Delivery Networks use many servers around the world to send files faster. A visitor from Europe will receive files from Amsterdam instead of New York. You get the idea. CloudFlare offers extra functionality such as spam protection and security. It's a great service. It boosts WordPress speed a lot.
The CloudFlare plugin will save you some time for setting up the CDN.
I don't use the plugin. I prefer to setup everything through the CloudFlare website. Same fast results. Simple and effective. Plus, i use one less plugin.

BSFA London Meetings: Interview with Tade Thompson
The Pause That Makes You Human
Tade Thompson interviewed by Liz Williams
Write-up by Andrew Wallace
Tade Thompson is the author of acclaimed SF novel Rosewater, which won the 2017 Nommo Awards for African speculative fiction. His short story The Apologists was nominated for a BSFA Award in 2017, and his novel Making Wolf won the Kitschies Golden Tentacle. Liz Williams is a novelist whose Philip K Dick Award-nominated novels include The Ghost Sister and Empire of Bones, while Banner of Souls was shortlisted for the Arthur C Clarke Award.
As a child in Nigeria, Tade Thompson read whatever he could find. Often, the texts were mashups of American comics like the Fantastic Four, or British reprints made of cheap newspaper. He quickly graduated from comics to novels, although his genre tastes were not restricted to SFF – at one point his sister convinced him to get into romance, after which Tade read forty Mills & Boon novels. After that he read Ian Fleming, the Saint and tried War and Peace when he was about ten, although part-way through he fled back to the fantastical, devouring works by Frank Herbert and Lewis Carroll. Tade also wrote his own versions of these stories, many of which featured the Mock Turtle in a kind of Alice-inspired Extended Universe. He got back to Russian literature in his teenage years, starting with Dostoevsky.
At times, his mother would only allow him to buy two books at a time, which was a problem if you were reading a trilogy. Tade solved the problem by purchasing book two and three while writing book one himself, and the imaginative discipline required to keep such long narratives in mind was a valuable introduction to story structure. It enabled him to make choices regarding linear narrative, which he believes is over-rated, preferring thematic or other structural links to hold a story together.
During the BSFA interview, Tade explained that this approach extends to the belief that science fiction is best when people work harder to understand a book. He disagrees with editors who want him to be kind to the reader, because he has faith in the reader's intelligence. Tade wants his books to stay in the reader's mind, as books do when people put maximum thought into understanding them. In his novel Rosewater, for example, the protagonist is presented as two separate characters: one young and the other old. The story looks at similarities found in each life stage, and the inevitable bleed-over.
Rosewater has an authority figure in the person of the Section Head, who is female.The Section Head's gender is of interest. During the interview, Tade said he felt women had more of a grasp of what is going on: a capacity to perceive and understand the bigger picture. He grew up in a house of women. The women around Tade were competent at a lot more things, from the social relationships that keep a family together to the responsibilities men are conventionally associated with, such as the time Tade's mother put out a fire in the house before the fire brigade got there. When creating such female characters, Tade says: 'I am writing what I know.'
This concept of diffused but effective power finds another expression in the alien entity of Rosewater, which was inspired in part by The Andromeda Strain. Michael Crichton's novel describes how an extra-terrestrial virus is collected by accident by an orbital probe and then released on Earth with devastating results. Tade liked the idea of aliens who don't arrive by spaceship, ascribing agency to the alien spores, and considering what kind of bugs they would be. Rosewater depicts a biological invasion: a cellular preparing of the way. It is delivered with a scattershot approach to include as many worlds as possible, rather than choosing Earth specifically; indeed, the aliens might not even know Earth exists.
At the BSFA, Tade explained he was not interested in traditional 'fight the invading aliens' narratives. He believes war stories reflect earthly rather than alien concerns, particularly the failure to imagine a scenario involving a meeting of cultures that does not end in fighting. Perhaps the idea of the devastating alien invasion comes from history, because our first contact narratives have always been evil; in Nigeria for example, the British wiped out entire villages. The War of the Worlds scenario is an expression of guilt as much as paranoia.
Tade also explores the subject of a territory as defined by porous boundaries in his novella The Murders of Molly Southbourne. Instead of projecting problems psychologically, which everyone does all the time, the book is about what happens when these metaphors come to life and try to kill us. The story concerns our daily mental battles, and an unwillingness to confront difficult psychological truths.
These ways of defining individuality relate to Tade's views on world building. At the BSFA, he explained how he thinks the SFF community fetishizes world building because of the success of JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, despite the book's problematic depiction of subjects like race. In his own work, Tade prefers to focus on character, building each person's subjective world around them instead of imposing a single over-arching realm.
He believes the ways we are treated by society change how we see that society, and his experience bears this view out. In Nigeria, he is not part of an ethnic minority; in London, he is the same person, but needs to be careful where he goes, particularly on match days. There is a shift in perspective that is not a choice he makes, but which is imposed upon him. In America, these conditions are even harsher; Tade describes merely existing there as a black person is an 'extreme sport'.
The next Rosewater book deals with the US, or rather the lack of it given that in a previous volume the country was wiped out. Tade describes the difficulty of reaching an audience that cannot conceive of a situation where it is not the centre of everything. Even negating America is talking about America, not least because the book features American refugees.
He plans to write a novel set in a future Africa – a contemporary fantasy based on Yoruba creation myths, whose Earth Magic-inspired stories have not yet been represented in genre fiction.
In the interview, he said that selling any kind of fiction is about educating the audience, and the audience is better educated now than in 2001. He recalls the cringeable scene in Independence Day with the alien spaceship in flames behind some Africans who were carrying spears, as if they'd used those instead of nukes to bring the invader down. We are less likely to get that kind of scene now, so there has been some progress, and SF readers are happier to look at genre stories inspired by different Earth cultures.
There is inevitable pushback due to what Tade said is a result of the old conservative guard feeling threatened; that old atavistic behaviour will spike before it changes. He feels this process is quite normal, and is not worried about it. He explained how the opinion that black people don't read and write SF was prevalent as recently as 2009, even though writers like Nnedi Okorafor had already published a significant body of work.
Attitudes like these seem to Tade to be part of the same 'there can be only one' narrative. In 2008 Tade was told that although his submission was good, the editor already had work by eight black people and, by implication, that was enough. This experience stopped Tade writing for a while; fortunately, Lavie Tidhar contacted Tade and requested the inclusion of a story in the World Science Fiction Blog. It is significant that Tade's way back was a blog, because technology has democratised publishing and enabled a wider variety of voices, rather than the tokenistic inclusion of a small number of 'representatives'.
Challenges remain, however, not all of them in the West. At the BSFA, Tade described how the publishing industry in Nigeria can be neither fair nor supportive of new writers. A friend sent him a contract and asked for advice; the contract was atrocious, with the publisher retaining all rights including subsidiary rights in perpetuity for a tiny advance. The decision was not straightforward, however, because Tade could not think where else the work could be sent. If you write professionally, then whoever is selling your book dictates what you write, so the West still influences what African authors write simply by controlling a large share of the market through its more established publishing system.

COUNCILS have urged the Post Office to abandon their plans to close branches.
Bexley, Greenwich and Bromley council have responded to the six-week consultation by the firm to close 169 post offices in London by next year.
The final closure decision will be announced in early May, with closures due to begin in June this year.
Last Thursday, the Greater London Authority (GLA) sought a judicial review against the Post Office's 'failure to allow adequate time for a full consultation on the closures'.
If the review is successful, it will force Post Office to extend the consultation period.
A spokesperson for the GLA said: "We are committed to using all the legal and statutory powers we have available to us to fight this programme of post office closures in London."
Bexley has two post offices earmarked for closure. These are 301-303 Brampton Road, Bexleyheath, and 3 Hollytree Parade, Foots Cray.
The five branches proposed for closure in Greenwich are 11 Blackheath Hill, Greenwich, 43 Bostall Hill, Abbey Wood, 263 Eltham High Street, Eltham, 119 Plumstead Common Road, Woolwich and 9 Woolwich Road, Greenwich.
Bexley council stated that 17 post offices have already been closed in the borough.
They response reads: "The removal of these services will have a serious effect on the elderly residents' independence and ability to easily access the services they need.
"These closures show a disregard for residents and we would urge you to reconsider the closures on a case by case basis."
A spokesperson for Post Office Ltd said: "The consultation period was set by the government when they announced the programme.
"We are implementing government policy as sensitively as possible.

Motorists still driving like it's fall
Rare tributes to our auto history
Gallery: 40 best, worst bumper stickers
by Mark Iype	 | November 25, 2010
Motorists make their way along the Malahat near Victoria Thursday.
Mother Nature is blasting Western Canada with her opening winter salvo this week while the rest of the country stands watch as the inevitable freezing temperatures and snow — hallmarks of the Great White North — march eastward.
But even though winter weather is as certain as the annual disappointment of Toronto Maple Leafs fans, the first snowfall makes some Canadian drivers are hitting the roads like they've spent their lives cruising Hawaiian highways.
"Every winter it seems like Canadians are caught by surprise," said Philippe Letourneau, the host of the Discovery Channel's television show Canada's Worst Driver. "One thing we know for sure is that winter is coming every year."
Letourneau said a lot of Canadian drivers develop bad habits over the spring and summer, and it takes some time for them to figure out how to drive in winter conditions again. "People overestimate their driving abilities and underestimate the road conditions," he said.
Letourneau said the biggest mistake is that not enough drivers install winter tires, a simple solution for operating safely on Canada's snow-packed and icy roads. Once temperatures drop below 7 C, winter tires will easily outperform all-season tires, he said. Modern winter tires have specially designed treads that clear slush and snow from a car's path. And the tire rubber is engineered to remain soft at the lowest temperatures, allowing them to better grip the road.
"In all honesty, I don't understand," said Larry Redmond, director of road safety with Safety Services Manitoba.
"People complain about the cost of tires or storage problems, but that's a pretty minor inconvenience when it comes to safety."
Redmond, a former driving instructor in a province known for its harsh weather, said he doesn't understand why governments don't make winter tires mandatory. Quebec is the only province where drivers are required by law to use winter tires, although they are also mandated in some of the mountainous areas of B.C.
According to an Angus Reid poll conducted for Canadian Tire in early November, 30 per cent of the over 2,000 Canadians surveyed had not installed winter tires yet, while another third said they had no intention of doing so.
And in the three provinces hardest hit by winter weather this week, 58 per cent of Alberta drivers and half of Saskatchewan and Manitoba drivers said they weren't planning on switching.
Those three provinces, along with the usually rain-soaked coast of B.C., have been dealing with sub-zero temperatures and snow that has made driving treacherous.
Victoria broke a 25-year-old temperature record Wednesday by dropping below -10 C, while Vancouver police were warning drivers to be aware of black ice. In Alberta, temperatures dipped below -30 C with the wind chill, and snow buried parts of the Prairie provinces. According to Environment Canada, the bad weather should hit Ontario and Quebec by the end of the week.
But every year, Letourneau said drivers react to winter like they've never seen a snowflake hit their windshield.
"I'm not sure why," he said. "I think they sometimes try to pretend that winter is just not coming this year."
Wishful thinking.

ATTOCK, Dec 10: A suicide bomber detonated an explosive-laden car near a military vehicle carrying children of Pakistan Air Force employees to school on Monday, injuring four children and three other people. The attack took place near the Fauji gate outside the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex in Kamra on the Attock-Kamra road.
It may be mentioned that former prime minister Shaukat Aziz survived a suicide attack in Attock district during his 2004 election campaign. Eight people were killed in the attack.
Security personnel cordoned off the entire area and took the injured to the PAC hospital in Kamra.
Attock District Police Officer Tariq Hanif Joyia told Dawn that the vehicle, a truck converted into a bus, was carrying 19 boys and girls, all aged under 12, to their school when a white car appeared at the Fauji gate at about 7.26am and its driver tried to ram it into the bus. The car exploded a few metres away from the bus.
"The bus driver told us that he had tried his best to avoid a crash on seeing the speeding car rushing toward him," the police officer said.
He said that four children — Ifran, Shakeel, Sumbul and Maria — and three PAC employees, Niaz (driver), Javed (helper) and Iqbal, were injured.
One of the injured, Javed, was shifted to the Combined Military Hospital in Rawalpindi, because his condition was serious.
The wreckage of the car and parts of the suicide bomber's body were scattered in a vast area.
He said that police had found a mobile phone in the car and its record was being checked.
AGENCIES ADD: "A terrorist targeted a schoolchildren's bus. The driver and the guard who were sitting in the front have been seriously injured," said military spokesman Major-General Waheed Arshad.
"Because of the timely reaction of the driver, the children were saved. Only about six or seven children were injured," he said, adding the injured children were in stable condition.
''This barbaric attack shows how cruel the terrorists are,'' he said.
A separate air force statement said five children and three adults on the bus were wounded in the attack in Kamra, with one of them in serious condition.
It said the bus belonged to the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, the manufacturing division of the PAF.
"The bomber in the car died on the spot," the statement said.


Rescued baby orangutan Didik undergoes surgery to have a bullet removed from his shoulder.
Rescued orangutan Didik, who was probably wounded when his mother was shot dead, has recently undergone surgery to have a bullet removed from his shoulder.
Didik has been in our care since June. After several weeks' treatment and nutritious food, the veterinary team decided his condition had improved sufficiently for him to be put under anaesthetic and have the bullet removed.
When he was rescued the little ape was suffering from such severe malnutrition that the vets described his condition as "alarming." His body was very small but after examining his teeth they estimated him to be about 18 months old.
Although still in quarantine, little Didik has already started learning to climb with a lot of encouragement from vet Uwi and some strategically placed food treats. Now that the bullet has been removed from his shoulder, it is hoped he will continue to go from strength to strength and soon be ready to start his lengthy rehabilitation by meeting other baby orangutans in pre-school.
The below video shows the bullet removal and contains surgical footage.

Book review: Daughter of Smoke and Bone
Daughter of Smoke and Bone: Liani Taylor
There was a great deal of excited whispering and hyperbole attending this book as well as comparisons to Harry Potter and Twilight. The latter weren't due to content, which is only similar in that DoSaB is fantasy, but because it's anticipated that this new series by Laini Taylor will attract the same level of devotion that the others have. Now that I have finished this first book, and had time to draw breath and slow my pounding heart, I think the pundits are right.
Daughter is a simply stunning read. From its opening pages in a snow-sprinkled Prague to its final, dramatic revelation with the heart-sinking 'to be continued…' (I want to know now! *stamps foot*), the story of beautiful, lithe, intelligent blue-haired Karou, the child of a monstrous (literally) wish-monger, Brimstone, who has peculiar friends and an arrogant ex-lover and basically leads a double-life as an art student on the one hand and a procurer of grisly totems on the other, is at once poetic, mysterious, page-turning and heart-wringing. Each and every scene is beautifully set and the mystique surrounding Karou, the girl with the palm-tattoos (and others), who is able to make wishes, speaks dozens of languages, travels the world in the blink of an eye and consorts with other-wordly figures, is gradually revealed. The first half of the book is a tour de force in that regard: like a curtain slowly being raised on a Shakespearean play, the reader is gradually drawn into this world at once recognizable but also just out of reach. Identifying strongly with Karou (the scenes with her and her irrepressible girlfriend are lovely), who knows she is different, but not specifically how or why, we too want the answers she seeks but, up until she is almost killed by a gorgeous but dangerous angel, who's eyes blaze fire at the same time as they do longing, she's been content to wait to be told. But when her life is plunged into despair and those she love are engulfed by darkness and horror, she can no longer afford patience.
When Karou (and the reader) gets the answers she's been searching for her entire life, no-one, least of all Karou, can guess where they'll take her – physically, psychologically and, above all, emotionally.
I don't want to give too much away or set up expectations that may be dashed. Needless to say, I couldn't tear myself away from this read. Well, to be blunt, I couldn't tear myself away from the first half of the book. Once the love story kicks in earnestly, I was not as captivated. It was here I did feel echoes of Bella and Edward, only (thank goodness) Taylor's rendering of this relationship was far more mature and the writing and metaphors used to express the first pangs of love and lust were exquisite. Even so, I found the energy that made the first half of the book sing, dampened and I didn't turn the pages quite as quickly or pick up the book with the eagerness that attended the first half. As Karou's and Akiva's backstory unfolds, I also found the to and frying a little clumsy for my taste. But this is being very picky and others won't agree and may even, if they enjoy long, lingering looks, heaving chests and electric touches, find the love story delightful. Fortunately, as the book reaches its final stages, it redeems itself completely. So, despite my reservations, this book is indeed magical. Original, fabulously written, wonderfully brought together at the end (which, and I love this, you see coming and can't do anything to prevent), it is mostly utterly engaging, enthralling and counts as one of the best books of 2011 for me.
Bring on book 2, please!

This book was poetically written and had me hooked for about the first 75 pages, but then the story grew increasingly bestial and weird. A good read for anyone who is into hardcore fantasy, but anyone who prefers more realistic and humanized forms of paranormal (aka. Twilight fans) might find the characters difficult to connect with. Definitely more powerful than Hush Hush, Fallen, and Personal Demons, but too "other worldly" and "out there" to really be considered a portrait of the human soul.


Jobs are for the North American winter ski season, which start in late October through early December and last for around 5 months.
To be eligible you need to be able to leave New Zealand in November or early December and employers usually only hire applicants who can commit to 5 months of work.
When you apply for the Work Canada Winter Jobs program we provide you with all the information you need to start the visa process, and also assist you with submitting your visa application. So as soon as you apply it is the right time to get the ball rolling! There is no disadvantage in sorting it out early as you have 12 months from the date of visa approval to activate your visa for a full 23 months in Canada.
Please note that before you can apply for your visa you will need to obtain a Ministry of Justice criminal record. The official Ministry of Justice processing time is 20 working days. We advise that you at least apply for your criminal record as soon as you apply to our program, even if you are not ready to submit your visa application. If you are considering going to Canada but won't be able to apply with us until close to the Job Fair then it might be a good idea to get your criminal record in advance, so you won't have a big delay before you can apply for the visa closer to your departure.
As long as you are eligible for a working holiday visa to Canada and are either in the process of getting your visa or planning to apply right after your interview then that is fine. The employers do like to know you already have the visa sorted though, and given the time involved in applying for the visa we recommend you apply well before the Job Fair.
Do I need to be able to ski or snowboard to go on Work Canada Job Fair?
The employers that we work with come to New Zealand because of the hard work and enthusiasm that kiwis bring to their resorts. Attitude is everything and personality is worth just as much as direct experience in these roles. In saying that, it is valuable to have a CV that demonstrates that you have transferable skills from past employment that will help at the resort. There is no need to have actually worked at a ski resort before.
If you have not had any jobs before then you will probably find it difficult to be placed at the job fair. We recommend that you find employment in NZ (part-time if studying is fine) to improve your skill set and help show off your employability!
If this is your last year at university then it is a perfect time to plan a working adventure overseas! However if you are planning on returning to study you must be willing to work the entire 5 month ski season in Canada. This may mean you'll miss part of Semester 1 and will need to wait until Semester 2 to return to study.
If you are a current student our employers may request proof of deferment before offering you a job.
PLUS All the benefits of Work Canada program.
Not only do you get a job sorted before you go but you also get all of the benefits of being on our fully supported Work Canada program. This means you get expert advice on visas, insurance and planning prior to departure, and you have access to the resources of SWAP (our Canadian partner organisation) while you are in Canada.
Yes, this is an important part of our program. It is part of our agreement with the employers to make sure you are on a comprehensive insurance policy that covers both winter sports and working holidays. It is also compulsory that you have insurance for the entire duration of your stay when you enter Canada.
If you have a few more detailed questions then just give us a call on 0800 700 705 or contact us here.
Interviews are held in a central area of Auckland. The interviews for 2017 will take place on a weekend in late August 2017, exact dates TBC. You will need to be available to interview during either of these days in Auckland. Don't worry though, we will ask for your time preference and let you know the interview times in advance so that you can get time off work or book flights!
What resorts are interviewing for 2017?
There are a great variety of positions on offer but please note that most vacancies are in the areas of lift attending, rentals/retail and hospitality.
In the past we have had many couples and friends travel together on the Winter Jobs program. However we cannot absolutely guarantee that you will be placed at the same resort as all interviews are individual and the employers will be looking at hiring you based on your own merits. We will make sure that you are all scheduled in with the same employers – just let us know you are travelling with someone else. Our advice from there is to be extra flexible with the types of jobs you are willing to accept and remember that you will have at least two chances to get a match!
Canadian employment interviews are similar to interviews you may have had in NZ. You should be prepared to answer questions about yourself, your skills, experience and also your strengths and weaknesses. The interviews are formal and you should act professionally throughout. While ski resorts may be more casual workplaces than your average office you will still need to make an effort to dress nicely and show off your best manners!
Do I have to come to Auckland if I live elsewhere in NZ?
The employers are here to interview you in person so it will be necessary to come to Auckland to meet them.
First of all, the Job Fair is a great time to meet other participants for the first time. We find that people are eager to meet others interviewing for the same resort. This year we'll be organising a social event at a nearby Auckland pub on the Saturday night of Job Fair. If it is anything like last year then it will be a big night – just don't come too thirsty if you end up with an interview on the Sunday morning! If you are coming up from out of Auckland for the interviews then make sure you are here for this as it may be your easiest opportunity to meet everyone before departure.
Group flights are also on offer through the friendly Katrina at STA Travel. She negotiates the rates for peak flight dates in advance so the fares are great deals even if you are booking closer to departure. On the group flights you'll be travelling with a bunch of other participants who are starting work at a similar time to you. In conjunction with the group arrival dates we also have fun transport package run by Moose Travel. This is a great opportunity to ride with the rest of the IEP group to your resort over a few days, seeing some sights and having a bit of a party on the way!
As part of the IEP Winter Jobs program you get two free nights at a central Vancouver hostel conveniently located close to your SWAP support office. Your first stop the next morning will be to SWAP for your orientation! In your orientation you'll learn all that you need to know in order to have a successful working holiday and get help applying for your Canadian SIN (tax) number and bank account. After orientation the next step is up to you! You'll probably find yourself sightseeing in Vancouver, jumping on the Moose Transfer, making your way to your resort or sitting in the SWAP office asking lots of questions and using their internet to update Facebook and make all your friends jealous!
This is negotiated between you and the employer, however the usual minimum term is 5 months, or the duration of the ski season. These positions are seasonal so, to some degree, your hours depend on the snow. The majority of our positions are full time seasonal roles, working 30-40 hours per week.
Another popular option is to band together with other staff, or IEP patricipants to rent a house for the season. Your employer will give you information about where to start in finding local properties. There is also no reason why you can't find a room in an already established flat with other staff or even locals!
With IEP you get support for the full 23 months of your visa so there is no reason to finish your OE just yet! Our Canadian partner organisation SWAP have offices in Vancouver and Toronto. If you are thinking of heading to a different part of Canada to work out the summer then consider hitting the SWAP office on your way. They have job resources and listings that will help you to find work. They are only a phone call or email away if you can't make it to an office.
There may also be opportunities for summer work at your resort if you prove yourself to be a fantastic worker and express your interest in staying on. It is common in Canada for the ski mountains to turn into summer activity playgrounds once the snow melts so if there are opportunities available it can be a fun job for outdoorsy types.

Obama Endorses Filibuster Changes
Posted on January 13, 2022 January 13, 2022 Author SaraWilliam	Comment(0)
Former President Barack Obama called for changes to the filibuster rule if necessary in order to pass voting rights legislation in an op-ed released Wednesday, reiterating calls from a fired-up President Joe Biden in an address earlier this week.
The former president recalled remarks he delivered at a memorial for Rep. John Lewis in 2020 – where he likewise suggested eliminating the Senate rule, which he called "another Jim Crow relic" – and highlighted the effort required to maintain a democracy, a truth he said "John knew better than just about anyone."

"Our democracy isn't a given. It isn't self-executing. We, as citizens, have to nurture and tend it," Obama wrote in his op-ed published in USA Today. "We have to work at it. And in that task, we have to vigilantly preserve and protect our most basic tool of self-government, which is the right to vote."
The Week in Cartoons Jan. 10-14
In his opinion piece, Obama scolded efforts by GOP leaders to hinder the right to vote, citing action at the state level, including bills "designed to suppress votes," gerrymandering and attempts to "assert power over core election processes including the ability to certify election results" that he says represent a "profound threat to the basic democratic principle that all votes should be counted fairly and objectively."
"The good news is that the majority of American voters are resistant to this slow unraveling of basic democratic institutions and electoral mechanisms," Obama wrote." But their elected representatives have a sacred obligation to push back as well – and now is the time to do it."
Reiterating Biden's call for action over voting rights – including changes to the filibuster if necessary – Obama argued that Democrats should be able to pass voting rights legislation "even if Senate Republicans now refuse to stand up for our democracy" with a simple majority vote.
"The only thing standing in the way is the filibuster," Obama wrote.
The former president said the rule, which allows the minority party to block the majority party's legislative priorities by effectively requiring a supermajority of senators to agree to end debate and allow a final vote, has "no basis in the Constitution" and has in recent years become "a routine way for the Senate minority to to block important progress on issues supported by the majority of voters."
"But we can't allow it to be used to block efforts to protect our democracy," he said. "That's why I fully support President Joe Biden's call to modify Senate rules as necessary to make sure pending voting rights legislation gets called for a vote. And every American who cares about the survival of our most cherished institutions should support the president's call as well."
Democrats currently hold an effective majority in the 50-50 Senate, with the tie-breaking vote of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. Changing the filibuster rule could allow the chamber to advance legislation with that simple majority, rather than the supermajority required at present to end debate.
Obama's op-ed comes a day after Biden delivered an uncharacteristically aggressive address calling for the changes, reflecting a newfound impatience with those who won't protect the right to vote.
"I support changing Senate rules, whichever way they need to be changed, to prevent a minority of senators from blocking action on voting rights," the president said in what was billed as a major voting rights speech in Atlanta.
Biden has no authority to change Senate rules such as the filibuster. But his endorsement of changes to the rule – one that allows a single senator to hold up debate or an up-or-down vote unless 60 senators vote to move things along – is notable, perhaps bringing new urgency to the effort among leaders in his party.
"Sadly, the United States Senate – designed to be the world's greatest deliberative body – has been rendered a shell of its former self," Biden said. "It gives me no satisfaction in saying that, as an institutionalist, as a man who was honored to serve in the Senate. But as an institutionalist, I believe that the threat to our democracy is so grave that we must find a way to pass these voting rights bills."

Q: SQL Server Agent Doesn't Allow Me To Run Jobs There are a number of SQL Server Agent jobs set up that run on schedules and they run OK. When I use Management Studio, right click any job and select "Start at Step...", a dialog pops up and says "starting..." then success, but the "executing..." part of the dialog never "comes back" - the job seems to run forever. If you "View Job History", it looks like I never launched the job.
I created a new job with 1 step (select 1) as a test. This job never returns, either. I scheduled the job to run every 10 seconds. It never runs, according to "View Job History".
I have all roles (including dbcreator, public, serveradmin and sysadmin) on a SQL Server 2005 install.

A: which sp do you have applied?  i remember there being an issue with sp1 or 2 on running jobs, especially if ssms is not the same version as the server.

The Madoff Scandal takes it tolls - Mets slashing salary worse than '97 Marlins
10 years ago :: Jan 26, 2012 - 8:32PM #1
espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/7495...
The largest one-year payroll slashing in Major League Baseball history might not belong to the then-Florida Marlins, whose offseason fire sale six years ago landed Carlos Delgado and Paul Lo Duca with the New York Mets and gutted the team's payroll from $60 million to $15 million.
Deep Budget Cuts
The Mets could be looking at the record for trimming the most payroll from one season to the next.
Yr. 2
Mets '11-'12 $142.8 $90.7 $52.1 (proj.)
Rangers '03-'04 $103.5 $55.1 $48.4
Marlins '05-'06 $60.4 $15.0 $45.4
Royals '10-'11 $71.4 $36.1 $35.3
A's '07-'08 $79.4 $48.0 $31.4
Rays '10-'11 $71.9 $41.1 $30.8
The distinction, it turns out, soon may belong to the 2012 Mets.
Remember when Mike Wilpon, who's extremely close with the Wilpon family, claimed Madoff saying the Wilpons were blameless was PROOF that the Wilpons were squeaky clean?

Q: Javascript variables cannot...? I'm working up to PREV/NEXT buttons that will get the current pathname, find it in an array, and increment its index to output a redirect or link, not sure if my terminology is correct. I have it pretty much figured out, but I ran into this one question which is bugging me. There's a simple answer no doubt invisible to noobs but I don't know how to research it more than what I already did. Not a big deal to my code, but why can't I use a variable in the 2nd example; why do I have to spell out the redirect statement?
Example One: This redirect works.
<button onclick="pp();">PREV1</button>

<script>
function pp() {
var qq = window.location.pathname;
if  (qq == '/F:/0-website/wwwtesting/javascript_variables_cannot.html') {
    window.location.pathname = '/F:/0-website/webpage.html';
}
};
</script>

Example Two: I don't need the conditional as used in the last example, but without it the redirect doesn't work. What's the difference to JS? All I changed was to remove the conditional, and the alert works but the redirect doesn't.
<button onclick="rr();">PREV2</button>

<script>
function rr() {
var yy = window.location.pathname;
yy = '/F:/0-website/webpage.html';
};
/*alert(yy);*/
</script>

Burnett Polk | Politics & Government
Senator Schachtner: To Protect Hunting Heritage, We Must Act On CWD
Guest column from Senator Patty Schachtner
Senator Patty Schachtner | Submitted
Thursday, October 15, 2020 | Updated Oct 15, 2020 6:01 am CDT
Here in Northwestern Wisconsin, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been found in both wild deer populations and in deer farms. Last year, a deer tested positive for this fatal disease on a Burnett County deer farm, and days before the gun opener, a wild deer tested positive in Dunn County.
CWD has been threatening our deer population since the first infected deer was discovered in Wisconsin in 2001. Since then, more than 5,600 deer and elk, both farm-raised and wild, have tested positive for CWD in 35 counties. We cannot ignore this problem when our state's deer herd and hunting heritage are in jeopardy.
CWD impacts the nervous system causing deer to lose weight, experience tremors, lose muscle control, and display odd behavior. It is also a 100% fatal disease in affected deer. It belongs in a family of diseases characterized by abnormal proteins called prions which cause damage to the brain. So-called "mad cow" belongs to that family of diseases as does the human variant, Creutzfeldt-Jakob. There should be no doubt that this is a serious disease that is spreading across our deer population.
Yet little action has been taken in recent years to combat the spread. Last session I introduced two bills that would have provided $1 million annually for more robust testing, research, and management of CWD, and to provide funding for the Adopt-a-Kiosk program through which hunters may drop off deer carcass samples for testing. Unfortunately, the Committees on Sporting Heritage wouldn't even hold a hearing on this critical issue.
Hunting is a way of a life and a proud tradition for many Wisconsinites. We have a responsibility to protect our deer population from this disease and ensure that future generations can enjoy the hunt as we have. I'm going to continue to push the issue forward to protect hunting in Wisconsin for hunters both today and tomorrow.
State Senator Patty Schachtner proudly represents Wisconsin's tenth senate district with over 160,000 constituents. The district covers parts of Burnett, Dunn, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix counties.

We all wish to live lives free of trial, suffering, or hardship, but few escape these effects of sin this side of eternity. In fact, John 16:33 guarantees that "in the world, you will have tribulation." Even still, as believers, we can put our trust in God and know that through our darkest days, he is working in us for his ultimate glory and our good. This is hope for the sufferer.
Salvation isn't found in our ability to escape suffering but in the presence and grace of the One who meets us in it.
In this five-day devotional learn how to trust God more deeply—even through circumstances you wouldn't choose for yourself and be comforted by the reminder that the Lord is never far from you.
Available online and/or as a daily email delivered right to your inbox, this free devotional will offer you encouragement from the Word of God and gospel-rooted hope in the midst of trial.


MUMBAI: Apple has teamed up with Ford, General Motors and Mazda in the US to deliver seamless iPod integration across the majority of their brands and models.
This makes it easy for iPod users to enjoy and control their iPod's high-quality sound through their car's stereo system. With the addition of these models, more than 70 per cent of 2007-model US automobiles will offer iPod integration.
Ford and General Motors will feature iPod integration in the majority of their 2007 models in the US beginning later this year, while Mazda's entire global 2007 lineup of cars and SUVs will offer iPod connectivity. iPod offerings for Ford, General Motors and Mazda provide drivers with outstanding sound quality while charging the iPod, while conveniently storing the iPod in the glove compartment. Seamless iPod integration also allows drivers to use their car's multifunction controls to select their music using artist, album, playlist or shuffle songs, as well as to easily skip between tracks and playlists.
Apple says that the iPod and iTunes are leading the digital music revolution, providing the best way to listen to music on the go, at home and in the car.
