Today marks the premiere of "Crazy," the new music video from Myles Marcus, whose steadfastness and resolve resemble that of the biblical Job. Musically inclined, by the time he was thirteen years old, Myles was releasing covers on the internet, followed by "Jump," an original song, which led to collaborating with Roy "Royalty" Hamilton. Later, Myles attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. After college, Mr. Hamilton signed Myles to an artist development deal up in Toronto, Canada. His move to Toronto was that of a true starving artist; Living on a couch, no friends, and left with nothing but his songs and a dream. It was this time of struggle that brewed an undying hunger for success in the industry that can be considerably unforgiving.
His resolve and dedication burning at a fervent new heat, Myles' revival begins with "Crazy," which demonstrates Myles talent and contagious musical style, a blend of indie pop, R&B and electronic elements. "Crazy" was produced by Toronto-based Dusty Chesterfield and co-written with Roy Hamilton III, Dusty Chesterfield and Danica Bucci.
Opening with a potent resonant piano and Myles' distinctive impassioned voice, "Crazy" rides an electro-pop melody glowing with energy and tumultuous emotions. An austere synth emerges in the background, intensifying the dark passion of the melody. A gently thumping kick drum injects a throbbing rhythm akin to a beating heart, as the radiance of background vocal harmonies add pervasive escalating hues to the tune. A tight, gorgeous guitar solo flavored by hushed vocal accents is terrifically effective.
Myles' tenor exudes a palpable tenderness and aching colors of tumescent anguish. It's an affluent, expressive voice with a charismatic aura that emanates a hypnotic ambiance. Intense, poignant and vulnerable, it's a voice capable of powerful projection and emotional conviction.
"Crazy" is about the notorious heartrending reality of being in love with someone who is an addict and the attendant constant camouflage of truth. The lyrics to "Crazy" expose the truth with raw veracity.
The video, directed by Nolan Begley and Spencer Torok, depicts the crazy emotional rollercoaster of a relationship with an alcoholic. Myles lies in bed after another sleepless night of worry. His girlfriend gets out of bed and makes coffee, spiking hers with vodka. He is crazy with indecision and his feeling of futility. Later, as he tries to keep her from drinking more, her inability to stop is obvious. Myles puts on his coat, preparing to walk out. But in the end, he can't because he loves her.
The power of the video is stark and moving.
"Crazy" is crazily good! The compelling melody and heartbeat-like rhythm merge beautifully, while Myles' voice infuses the music with weighty passion. There's a scintillance and urgency to "Crazy" that make it a definite pop sensation. It's a knockout!

The Guardia Civil searches the 70 square metre apartment for four hours. The officers confiscate a yellow whistle, a poster labelled "Freedom and Democracy," a photo of the jailed president of the cultural association Òmnium Cultural, Jordi Cuixart, a broken cell phone, and a memory stick. Tamara stands by the window and hears the media in front of her house reporting on her. "The journalists were there at the same time as the police and knew more details than I did." Like most Spaniards of her age, Tamara grew up watching the arrests of suspected ETA terrorists. When the Guardia Civil asks her if she wants to cover her face when leaving the house, she refuses. She does not want to supply that kind of picture. Even today, she still has the flashes of the photo cameras in front of here inner eye as she was led across the square in front of her house. She is convinced that her arrest had been staged for the media.
On the third day, she is taken in handcuffs before the judge of the Audiencia Nacional, a special court for particularly serious crimes. There she meets her lawyer, whom her parents have hired. In court, she only answers his questions. When the prosecutor reads the allegations, Tamara does not recognize herself. She is accused of planning an attack on the barracks of the Guardia Civil in Barcelona. Later, it turns out that the allegation was based on a Google Maps picture that she had saved to help her get to a demonstration. She is also accused of being the coordinator of the "Committees for the Defence of the Republic" (CDR) and of being guilty of inciting to crimes such as blockading highways over the Easter weekend. "If you know something about CDRs, you know their structure is horizontal. They have no coordinators", Tamara explains.
The accusation papers also mention Adrià Carrasco, who was to be arrested on the same day as Tamara, but was able to escape and seek refuge in Belgium. "The Guardia Civil thought we were related because of the same surname, but we don't know each other," Tamara says. The defence lawyer loses his temper at that juncture.
"He complained that it was a political process without a legal basis", Tamara recalls. The public prosecutor then threatened the lawyer with a lawsuit for partiality. The judge ended the hearing when the exchanges between the jurists began to get heated. A quarter of an hour later, Tamara was let free, with restrictions.
Only later does she realize what these restrictions mean for her. Tamara is only allowed to leave Viladecans to go to work in Barcelona, and she has to report to the local court every week. The Guardia Civil stalks her. After a few weeks, Tamara stays away from work, because the psychological pressure becomes too high. Her family and many friends live in other places and come to visit her. When her mother breaks her leg and cannot drive to see her daughter, Tamara requests permission to visit her. The request is turned down.
At first, the repression against Tamara has an intimidating effect on the CDRs. There have been no more actions in the entire area of the Baix Llobregat where Viladecans is located. The activists are afraid and do not want to give the prosecution any arguments against Tamara and Adrià.
"It's like a wave that is not only aimed at you, but spreads to your entire environment. Until recently, I was watched very closely – as were all those who surround me", says Tamara.
"There is a final legal decision. The Audiencia Nacional says it has no jurisdiction because it sees no evidence of the allegations. This means the case goes to the general courts. That is, the case is handed over to the court in whose jurisdiction the investigated incidents took place. But we do not know what actions exactly my client is being prosecuted for".
Since no specific realised actions can be attributed to her, the Audiencia Nacional simultaneously sends the case to the courts in four districts: Lleida, Girona, Barcelona and Tarragona.
"Tamara does not live in any of the four, it's sheer nonsense," her lawyer spells out his lack of understanding. It will probably take months for a court to declare its jurisdiction and then possibly suspend her already eight-month-long house arrest.
Her lawyer believes there is a clear intention behind this situation: "We know the CDR phenomenon, and we do not think that the concept of terrorism can be applied to them. They are an expression of non-violent resistance. But Spain wants to paint a picture that worked in the Basque Country in the 1990s and create parallels that do not correspond to reality. When politicians and lawyers compare the CDRs with Kale borroka (violent street actions of supporters of the Basque independence movement), they deliberately mix concepts. I believe that this is an operation by the state to try to change the reality in Catalonia", says Salellas.
From Tamara's point of view, her situation has also had positive effects. Before then, daughter and father were ideologically far apart. Meanwhile her family doubts the system. "My dad still opts for Spain, but now he understands why I do what I do," Tamara says almost proudly.
Many residents of their town Viladecans are more inclined to leave things in Spain as they are. But she receives support from all sides. "Many pro-Spanish neighbours have shown their solidarity with me because they know that I would not harm a fly." More and more people come to understand that this is not just about the independence of Catalonia, but about fundamental rights, Tamara thinks. "If you're a nuisance, they use the 'gag law' (Basic Law for the Protection of Public Security) against you," she says.
"For three days I was the most hated person in Spain. I received more than 300 death threats on my phone. I was made a public person. Adrià had to go into exile. We have not had any legal process to defend ourselves".

Piñera in Antofagasta: "We'll defend the borders with machetes if necessary"
19 January, 2019 19 June, 2019
ANTOFAGASTA – President Piñera paid the northern region of Antofagasta a visit, discussing government investments and a new migration law. The northern borders of Chile suffer from illegal migration. For Piñera reason for some violent language, threatening to defend the Chilean borders with "machetes if necessary".
"This program intends to invest US$41 billion," Chile's President Sebastián Piñera started his speech on Thursday in front of La Portada, a tourist icon in the northern city of Antofagasta. He was talking about the Regional Development Plan for Antofagasta, even though (or because of) residents say the government forgets their region while it's the biggest producer of copper in the area.
The president's plan has four pillars: employment growth, territorial development, security and protection, and health and education. In addition, he announced that work will be done to improve the quality of inhabitants' life, infrastructure, telecommunications, tourism, housing and mining.
"It never happened in the history of this region that the Chilean government invested as much as what we will invest over the next four years, and the next government should continue with this work."
Considered the heart of copper production, the Antofagasta region has a noticeable growth of employment, especially in the cities of Antofagasta and Calama. For this reason, Piñera said that new roads to connect Carmen Alto with Calama, Antofagasta with Iquique, and Caldera with Antofagasta will be built, as well as new water networks.
The municipality of Antofagasta already started implementing new plans for new housing for thousands of residents. However, the president pointed out that his government is planning new housing solutions for more than 14,000 families and will begin closing three refugee camps in the region.
Chile to intensify copper production in the next 10 years
Defend the borders with "machetes"
President Piñera also mentioned some details about Chile's new immigration law, and that the government intends to have new immigration regulations to have secure borders. He promised to close the borders and defend them with a "machete" if necessary.
"We will close our doors to stop those who come to cause damage, to commit crimes and those who come to alter public order," he added.
In spite of that, Piñera welcomes those wanting to enter Chile for tourism or trade saying that, "our philosophy is simple; our doors are open for those who want to come and to comply with our laws and to those who want to develop Chile."
After his trip to Antofagasta, Piñera wants to pay a visit to the Region of La Araucanía on Monday, January 28. This would be the second trip there, after the death of Mapuche Camilo Catrillanca last November. Nonetheless, sources said that an exact date for the visit has yet to be confirmed .

In Great Falls, VA, a backup generator means comfort, safety, and productivity all through the worst storms. Families and business owners can ride out a power outage in style because the electricity never stops. These generators turn on automatically at the first indications that power has been interrupted, even if no one is present.
A backup generator system in Great Falls, VA, operates much like an air conditioning or heating system. It turns on by itself at the first sign of an outage, delivering power to equipment and appliances through the electrical panel already in place in the home or building. That means there are no cords snaking through rooms and hallways from the generator to each device that needs power.
With a backup system, there is no need to manually refuel it. This is done automatically because the unit is connected to the building's natural gas or liquid propane system.
The experts at Pullin Electric sell and service the Generac brand of backup generator. The company pioneered backup generators, building the first affordable model for home use clear back in 1959. Currently they are ranked number one in customer satisfaction. In fact, 7 out of 10 homeowners who invest in a generator system prefer Generac.
A backup generator system in Great Falls, VA, is a major investment for a company or a home. That's why Pullin Electric established its free, no-obligation assessment program to help people decide if the system is the right choice for them.
During the assessment, a trained professional comes on site, to the house or business. He listens to the needs of the owner and answers all questions thoroughly. With the owner, he locates the most suitable spot for installation.
He covers the cost of the system, based on the needs discussed, and provides a written estimate. This covers every aspect of the installation so the owner has all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Pullin Electric has been serving the Great Falls, VA, area with backup generator service and a full range of electrical services for over 35 years. They have earned a solid reputation for caring customer service because they answer questions and really listen to the concerns of each customer.

26 May 2019, 6th Sunday of Easter (Year C)
5 February 2017, 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
Introit: Venite adoremus Deum
Offertory: Hail true victim, life and light, p. 323.
Communion (Years A & C): Introibo
Recessional: Holy God we praise Thy name, p. 217, vv. 1, 2, & 4
Mass XI, PBC p. 58. Credo III, PBC p. 77.
The Introit antiphon is taken from the formulary of September Ember Saturday in the older Graduale Romanum (1908/1961). It has three phrases, the first allowing a very quick break in the middle:
1. Venite adoremus Deum, [1b] et procidamus ante Dominum
2. ploremus ante eum qui fecit nos
3. quia ipse est Dominus Deus noster
We sing here vv. 6 & 7 of Psalm 94 (95). From a time of great antiquity—long in place by the time of St Benedict—this psalm has been the start of each day's Divine Office (The Invitatory). So you will correctly surmise that it has been the subject of much commentary from many perspectives by many people over many centuries. Note that when we sing or recite v. 6 in the Invitatory, we do it on our knees, because (a) the words, at least in Hebrew and some Latin versions, refer to kneeling and (b) it is the turning point of the psalm when it moves from a song of praise for God's goodness (cf. v. 1, the psalm-verse of this Introit) to imploring his mercy for our failure to listen to His voice calling us to be His obedient people and enter into His rest. The melody of the intonation (Venite), and again at procidamus, reflects this physical act of bending the knees (in Latin, genu flectare). To emphasize this submission, the manuscripts even indicate a moderate hold when we reach the low point (fa) on (Veni-)te. The high points of the melody are all directed to God (Deum, Dominum, Deus), and the low points to us (fecit nos) and the acts of submission to which we are called (adoremus, procidamus, ploremus). To submit our will to the divine will is an effort we need to renew daily. As we saw last week, Mode 2 can be sad yet not without its own joy and hope.
The Communion antiphon also comes from the formulary for Sexagesima Sunday in the EF. It has two phrases:
1. Introibo ad altare Dei:
2. ad Deum qui laetificat juventutem meam.
In the EF, this verse from Psalm 42 is prayed at the beginning of every Mass, in the prayers at the foot of the altar. In this chant we all make these words our own as we now approach the altar to receive Him who brings joy to our hearts and youthful vigor and energy. Reinvigorated, we may then say with the Apostle: 'I can do all things in Him who strengthens me.' Life may bring trials and hardships and disappointments without number; the soul may have experiences much like those of St. Paul; but there ever remains the sweet consolation of saying, 'I may go to the altar of God.'
The altar is the inexhaustible spring of joy and of strength. A festal glow seems to hover over the melody, a joy brought out by the rising fourths, the clarion call of the dominant, the graceful intervals ca cbg, cd da adc, the broad arcs held together by the word accents as by a keystone: Introibo, ad altare, Dei; and all with a pleasant variety. The first and fourth divisions move within the tetrachord g-c, the second moves in the fifth g-d, and the third small division in the fifth f-c. This happy melody occurs again on the feast of St. Aloysius and in the votive Mass of the Apostles

Despite reuniting after a decade, Yi Yun and Jiang Xiaorou did not have the time to engage in reminiscence. They were still in the Soul Tomb, and facing the hostile Blood Moon. Against so many Yin specters that were about to awake, they needed to immediately head to the Yin specter's slumbering grounds, and destroy everything within it.
There were layer after layer of defenses for the protection of the Soul Tomb, making it extremely secure.
The large array outside the Soul Tomb isolated the interior from the outside world. In the slumbering grounds of the Yin specters, there were spatial mazes and numerous illusion arrays hidden with them. Even the entrance to the Yin specters' slumbering grounds changed frequently. Even with the masked man's memories, it would be very time consuming to pinpoint the exact location of the slumbering grounds.
Thankfully, Yi Yun had anticipated this. He had sent the evil energy to possess a Heavenly Blood Union member, so as to create a mark.
This mark was like a flame burning in the darkness, which helped guide Yi Yun to find the Yin specters' slumbering grounds in the complicated arrays quickly.
"Leave ten people to take care of the injured. The rest are to follow me." Yi Yun gave an order that was above doubt.
The Desolate race had mixed feelings when it came to Yi Yun. They knew that Jiang Xiaorou had a younger human brother, and she had sacrificed greatly for him back then. Even the condition for Jiang Xiaorou to fully integrate herself into the Desolate race's world was for the Shepherd Boy to risk his life to save Yi Yun.
Because of that, the Desolate race's youth had their reservations over Yi Yun. Some of the younger males were even jealous of Yi Yun.
However, with Yi Yun's strength today, he had managed to convince all of them. It became a matter of course to listen to the orders of Yi Yun, someone of a different species.
At this moment, in the Yin specters' slumbering grounds, many Heavenly Blood Union members were looking at the tall, erect stone pillar, as well as the huge cocoons embedded in it, with fascination.
What was this place? What were those gigantic cocoons?
Just as a few Heavenly Blood Union members were inquiring about Yi Yun's situation, there was suddenly a distortion in space before Zhulong appeared.
At this moment, the cobweb blood lines in the middle of Zhulong's eyebrows had disappeared, and what replaced them was a scar that looked like a flame that had been burning.
A number of the elites present had previously met the Martial Alliance's Alliance Leader at the martial tea session organized by the Martial Alliance. They recalled that the Martial Alliance's Alliance Leader also had a similar flaming scar in the middle of his eyebrows.
They realized that the scar was a result of augmenting oneself with the blood of gods.
Zhulong's face was slightly pale, and his aura had weakened a lot more, as if he was ill.
His lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice to Fengming.
"I have to crush the second Life Slip?" Fengming was stunned.
When Zhulong and the other Reincarnators entered the Soul Tomb, they were given a total of three Life Slips, which were used to communicate with headquarters.
The Soul Tomb was an independent world, and due to the ancient array set up outside, it made it very difficult to transmit messages out.
This was similar to the Great Empress mystic realm. To pass a message out of the completely sealed Great Empress mystic realm was an extremely difficult task for any of the large factions in the Tian Yuan world.
The Soul Tomb was similar to the Great Empress mystic realm, so messages could not be exchanged even by Blood Moon.
However, there were special Life Slips that could barely transmit some information.
These Life Slips were quantum entangled. By crushing one Life Slip, the other would sense it, and shatter as well.
The three Life Slips Zhulong had each had their own meaning. Crushing the first Life Slip meant: Everything went smoothly. The mission is about almost completed.
Crushing the second meant: The team encountered unforeseen circumstances, and are engaging in intense battle.
As for the last Life Slip, it meant that the mission had completely failed.
To Blood Moon's Reincarnators, having to crush the second Life Slip despite being tasked to execute such a simple mission, along with such a strong lineup and a drop of the blood of the gods was quite unacceptable. This uncertain outcome was too much for Fengming, Qiongqi and Sheji.
"Lord Zhulong, was the alternate dimension you set up in the end was not enough to finish Yi Yun? Do you think he has the ability to break through the spatial dimension array?" Fengming was unwilling to crush the second Life Slip as it was too embarrassing.
"You can treat it as me having a life and death battle with Yi Yun. I have some understanding of his strength, and my alternate dimension should be able to trap him… " As Zhulong spoke, he frowned slightly.
Although it was unlikely that there would be problems with his inference, he just needed to trap Yi Yun for a few hours in the alternate dimension for them to successfully complete the possession.
As long as the Yin specters were revived, everything would be in place. However, Zhulong had an ominous sense for some reason.
Fengming was confident that even if the masked man, who had betrayed the Blood Moon, drew a complete picture of the Soul Tomb's interior, it would still be extremely limited in helping Yi Yun find the Yin specters' slumbering grounds.
At this moment, Sheji also spoke up.
Zhulong nodded his head slightly. It was still a viable choice.
With a wave of his hand, Fengming crushed the first Life Slip.
Seeing the Life Slip turn to dust and scatter away with the wind, Fengming nodded with satisfaction. He then turned to the Heavenly Blood Union members present.
There was a faint hint of greed in his eyes, like a snake watching its prey.
However, he hid his thoughts extremely well. He still looked as gentlemanly as usual.
The hidden powers of the Martial Alliance?
Everyone was stunned hearing this. They were both alarmed and overjoyed. The Martial Alliance was already so strong, yet it still had hidden powers?
Indeed, this organization that had lasted for tens of millions of years had an inheritance that exceeded one's imagination.

Listen to David Ellefson Team Up with Former Megadeth Shredder Chris Poland On New Song, "Hammer (Comes Down)"
The track, which also features Mark Tremonti, is the first single from Ellefson's forthcoming debut solo album, 'Sleeping Giants.'
David Ellefson has shared a new song, "Hammer (Comes Down)." The track comes off the Megadeth bassist's upcoming debut solo album, Sleeping Giants, due July 19 via Combat Records.
"Hammer (Comes Down)" reunites Ellefson with his former Megadeth band mate, guitarist Chris Poland, and also features additional guitars from Alter Bridge's Mark Tremonti and Sacred Reich's Joey Radziwill. Other guests include former Machine Head and current Sacred Reich drummer Dave McClain, as well as Thom Hazaert and Flotsam and Jetsam's Eric AK, who handle vocals.
Said Ellefson about working with Poland, who played on three Megadeth albums, 1985's Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!, 1986's Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? and 2004's The System Has Failed, "It was great to reconnect with Chris, musically and personally, who is still, and always has been, one of the most innovative players in metal."
He continued, "When we were working on putting together the record, Thom had brought up the idea to Chris of him playing on a track, and somehow it all worked out. Add some killer solos from Chris Poland on to a song that already features Mark Tremonti, Dave McClain and Eric AK from Flotsam, and you can only imagine how incredible it came out. It's truly an epic collaboration, and we couldn't be more excited about it."
Sleeping Giants is the companion album to Ellefson's new memoir More Life With Deth (co-authored with Hazaert), which is due out July 16.
Last month, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine revealed that he has been diagnosed with throat cancer. In a Facebook post, Mustaine said that he's already started treatment, but that "most" of the band's scheduled 2019 shows will be cancelled.
"It's clearly something to be respected and faced head on - but I've faced obstacles before," Mustaine wrote. "I'm working closely with my doctors, and we've mapped out a treatment plan which they feel has a 90 percent success rate. Treatment has already begun."

There has always been an abundance of wildlife in our yard since moving in eight years ago. We live in what you could call a smallish town, but technically it's considered a city due to the population per square mile. We live more toward the outer edge of town and our house backs up to a woods, making it feel more like country living, even though shopping, schools, gas stations and doctors are all within minutes of our home. Comparatively speaking, we have a lot of wildlife for someone living in the city.
We have always been heavily into feeding and attracting birds to our yard. We maintain three to four bird feeders consisting of Black Oil Sunflower Seed, as well as two Suet feeders, a Nectar feeder and a Grape Jelly Feeder. Our Black Oil Sunflower Seed is purchased in bulk and we probably go through 50 pounds of seed every 2-3 days during the mid to late summer when fledglings are prevalent and birds are stockpiling their fat reserves for the colder weather. On average, we go through a dozen Suet cakes every 4-5 days, which could easily be doubled once the Starlings and Grackles show up, but we have to draw the line somewhere. We also have a small pond and a couple bird baths- water, as well as food, shelter and housing, are great additions to your yard if you're looking to attract more birds to it.
There are currently at least 32 different birds that visit our yard. Some of the more common birds that we see include Blue Jays, Cardinals, House Sparrows, Finches, Wrens, American Robins, Goldfinches, European Starlings, Common Grackles and Mourning Doves. We see a variety of Woodpeckers including Downy and Hairy, Red-Bellied, Northern Flickers and on occasion, the Pileated. We have seen Red-Tailed and Cooper's Hawks and are visited regularly by both Red-Breasted and White-Breasted Nuthatches and Chickadees. During the late Spring, Summer and early Fall we are graced with Gray Catbirds, Baltimore Orioles, Red-Winged Blackbirds, Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks and Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds. We've even been visited by an Eastern Screech Owl and I can't forget about the Wild Turkeys that visit us year-round.
We also have 14 birdhouses placed strategically around our yard. We usually have a 50% occupancy rate and have witnessed more baby birds this year than any other. Most of our houses are filled with House Sparrows, who have had 2-3 broods each this summer. We have a Wren who comes back every year and she raised some beautiful babies again this year. We were even lucky enough to have an American Robin family nest in our Crabapple tree and raise their young. They were so fun to watch.
A few months back, we had our yard "Certified" by the National Wildlife Federation as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. Since we posted the sign that we received from them, it would seem that every critter in the vicinity has seen it as an open invitation to take up residence in our yard. We have always seen White-Tailed Deer in the woods- they come quite close to the house and eat my plants. We've seen a bunny or two and a raccoon here and there, not to mention lots of squirrels. From time to time the frogs and toads make our yard their home as well. Now that we are "officially" a Certified Wildlife Habitat, we have acquired a garden snake, three bunnies, two skunks and a groundhog (or woodchuck). As of last night, my boyfriend thinks he spotted an opossum! I had always hoped one would visit our yard- they are so cute- the way they hang from their tails and Mom carries her young on her back. I guess the only thing I haven't seen yet is a pheasant- I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
Although our visitors are super cute, they are not all welcomed or well-behaved guests. The groundhog is naughty and eats all of my plants in addition to digging big holes in the ground and under our deck. The skunks also dig small holes all over the back yard in search of grubs, and then there's the risk of getting sprayed if we get too close or startle them. All of these critters have come to our yard in search of the tasty bird seed that falls from the bird feeders. They are so involved in eating, that they don't pay much attention to us getting so close to photograph them.
Click on "Certify Your Garden", register by creating a free account, fill out a short questionnaire about your yard, including Food and Water Sources, Cover, Places to Raise Young and Sustainable Practices. Then choose the flag, sign or plaque that you wish to display in your yard. They do charge a small fee for this, but it's basically a donation to a good cause and you get some added benefits because you are now a member of the National Wildlife Federation. You will be helping to make a difference in this world and inspiring others to do the same.

Wow, you are a special person. Thanks for the awesome pics and info. Keep it up.
Thanks Uncle Gary.. We just love it here with all the different wildlife we see. We'd love for you to come down and visit us sometime..
Thank you for the lovely compliments. It can get expensive, but we don't have pet, I'm allergic, so I guess it's no more than feeding a dog, without the vet bills.
Thank you. I really enjoy writing and sharing my yard and birding adventures.
I would love that. I have quite a few more posts that I'd love for you to read. Since I'm new to blogging, I could use the input. Have a great night.
Love the bird photos. You are doing an amazing job attracting wildlife.

Cyber criminals seemingly have the upper hand in the cyber war, but how do we fight these cyber criminals? People can play a significant role in cyber security when the private sector, public sector and citizens lock arms and work together. From one perspective, insider threats are a real issue with more than 90 percent of employees admitting they violate policies that are designed to prevent breaches and noncompliance. On the other hand, how can we empower people to better defend our cyber security? Cyber security experts shared their insights at the recent IBM Insight at World of Watson 2016 conference.

Q: Play app does not seem to start unless I http to it, how can I make it start otherwise? I have a Scala Play application with a Global which starts Actors. The problem is that the Global.onStart method does not get called until I go to my browser and http : / / l o c a l h o s t:9000/ which is the URL to my Play Framework Application. I would like it to start immediately when my application starts.
The Global is like this https://github.com/ndeverge/twivent/blob/master/app/Global.scala
Documentation on Global is here http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.0/ScalaGlobal

A: When Play is run in development mode, i.e. with play and then run or ~run it will start when the first request is received. See here
When you run in production mode (i.e. with start or from a dist build of your app) it will start immediately and will not check for changes before each request.

Q: Case mysql error SELECT count(*),
CASE count(*)
WHEN >=0
then Esta vacio
end
FROM producto

Al poner esta consulta me sale el error

#1064 - Algo está equivocado en su sintax

He estado leyendo por internet y no encuentro la solución a este problema

A: La sintaxis de CASE que intentas usar es:
CASE case_value
    WHEN when_value THEN statement_list
    [WHEN when_value THEN statement_list] ...
    [ELSE statement_list]
END CASE

Podemos diferenciar dos problemas en tu consulta SQL:

*

*Las cadenas de caracteres deben estar delimitadas correctamente (el texto Está vacío debe ir entre comillas simples).

*La sintaxis de CASE que quieres usar no permite >=0 como valor de when_value.

Podrías haber usado una comprobación completa (count(*)>=0) pero su resultado hubiera sido comparado (TRUE es 1 y FALSE es 0) con el de case_value, provocando resultados inesperados (count(*)>=0 SIEMPRE vale TRUE porque siempre será igual o superior a 0), por lo que siempre saldría Está vacío como resultado.

SOLUCIÓN PROPUESTA:
Si quieres obtener un listado manteniendo el número de registros encontrados en el count(*) y agregar el texto Está vacío sólo en los que tengan 0, entonces puedes hacer:
SELECT
  campo,
  CASE count(*)
    WHEN 0 THEN 'Está vacío'
    ELSE count(*)
  END CASE numero
FROM
  producto
GROUP BY
  campo

El SELECT funciona como siempre, el primer campo podría ser (opcionalmente) el campo por el que haces el GROUP BY de productos (*).
El segundo campo sería, dependiendo del valor de count(*) la cadena de caracteres Está vacío si la cuenta es 0 o bien count(*) en caso contrario. El nombre del campo se llamará numero.

EJEMPLO MÁS COMPLETO:
En este ejemplo se completa el contenido del campo numero incluyendo distinción de plural y singular.
SELECT
  campo,
  CASE count(*)
    WHEN 0 THEN 'Está vacío'
    WHEN 1 THEN 'Hay 1 producto'
    ELSE CONCAT('Hay ', count(*), ' productos')
  END CASE numero
FROM
  producto
GROUP BY
  campo

(*) Si no quieres usar, o no usas, un GROUP BY en tu consulta, entonces puedes quitar tanto el campo en el SELECT como la cláusula GROUP BY:
SELECT
  CASE count(*)
    WHEN 0 THEN 'Está vacío'
    ELSE count(*)
  END CASE numero
FROM
  producto

A: La sintaxis de CASE podria ser moviendo el count(*) detrás del when
Tambien te falta rodear el texto entre comillas ' (gracias Oscar)
SELECT
    count(*),
CASE
    WHEN count(*) = 0  THEN 'está vacio' END
FROM
    producto

Mortal Online and Sandbox MMOs
I've had this on my mind ever since I went back and played BDO recently.
No MMO has given me the same feeling that Mortal Online has; it truly felt like a real place, and danger was quite literally at every turn. I know that Mortal was not a "good" game. It had tons of bugs and issues, and near the end the community became very toxic. I want to break down what I think made Mortal special, and what I think differentiates it from other "Sandbox" MMOs such as ArcheAge, BDO, EvE, and etc.
The world was massive, and there was no "official" map. I distinctly remember stumbling across dungeons and other areas that I had no idea were there with my little group of friends.
The community. I know this is a divisive one, but at its peak the community (Including the PK'rs) were pretty great. For instance one time A group was camping outside the gates of Tindrem, and a large group of players pushed out in order to escape. Also, having to find a crafter willing to craft you specific gear that you wanted was very fun, and you could often get it done for significantly less than the market price.
The PvP. Again, I know this is divisive, but the full loot PvP definitely gave an edge to the world. Maybe it's just me personally, but I love games that have a real risk vs reward, and a simple XP penalty or item degradation just doesn't cut it for me. Having to plan what you wanted to bring on your adventures and coordinating with other players to go places really kept my adrenaline flowing.
The locations. While Mortal was certainly not a pretty game, some of the locations were very very atmospheric and helped lend a hand to the feeling of being in danger at all times. For instance, in one of the starting towns there was a relatively safe graveyard where new players could farm zombies for money. Also in the same town was an underground sewer filled with thieves whose body parts could be sold for even more money than the zombie heads. However, this area was not safe, and you would often be ambushed by other groups looking to take your stuff to sell it. To build on this, the area outside Tindrem was notorious for being dangerous, so players often travelled in groups to stay safe when they were going to other areas. It was the little details and design choices that helped lead to the grander sense of immersion.
The camera angle. First person games are my jam, and in my opinion they help you to see the game world and its scale much better. It also constantly keeps you on your toes since you cannot see behind you. Being in a cramped sewer and constantly checking behind you for other players was very tense and made your success feel that much more rewarding.
The combat. Another hot take, I know. I fully realize that the combat was not perfect in Mortal, but it was some of the most enjoyable MMO combat I have ever played. BDO and its flashy action combat is very fun, as is the more traditional tab targeting combat, but nothing can beat the feeling of seeing your sword connect with someone's head and watching them crumple to the ground. The combat felt very grounded, and I found it to be very enjoyable (when it worked).
The lack of direction and hand holding. Oh boy. I know that sandbox MMOs are very niche, and this only helps to make them even more niche, but starting from nothing and making your own goals and achieving them is very rewarding. While there was a meta, there was no certain way you had to to do anything in the game, and the game itself quite literally gave you no direction. Again, while that is not for everyone and sounds very off putting, it was very gratifying once you got ahold of the mechanics.
The server politics. As I said before, the community did get toxic. However, even in the midst of that, hearing about battles and watching guilds try to fight the campers made the world seem like it was in a constant state of motion. Something was always changing, be that guild keeps getting raided or a small group of PK'rs getting taken out.
All of the above reasons (and some more I probably forgot about) combined to be why I loved and feel like no other games have gotten close to achieving the feeling that Mortal gave you. You weren't some grand hero or the chosen one, you were just some schmuck trying to live in an absolutely brutal fantasy world. You weren't special, and that is what made the game special.
I remain optimistic for Mortal Online 2, and while I know Star Vault has had its issues in the past, I sincerely hope the game succeeds.
TL;DR: Mortal was not perfect, but no other game has came close.
Is it just me, or currently there are no good sandbox mmos out there?
First of all, sorry for any English mistakes, English is not my native language. Im not sure if its me, but nowadays i dont see any good sandbox mmos out there. I have played some recently and i only see a ton of design flaws. Maybe i just grow old and should play another type…

HuffPost (anteriormente conocido como The Huffington Post) es un periódico en línea y blog agregador de noticias, fundado por Arianna Huffington, Kenneth Lerer y Jonah Peretti, que presenta noticias y artículos de columnistas. El sitio ofrece cobertura sobre política, negocios, entretenimiento, moda, el movimiento verde, noticias internacionales y humor. El 15 de junio de 2012 ocupaba en Alexa el puesto global 96 (25 en los Estados Unidos).

The Huffington Post fue lanzado el 9 de mayo de 2005, como un colector de comentarios y una alternativa liberal y progresista al conservadurismo de los agregadores de noticias tales como Drudge Report.

En 2008, el sitio lanzó su primera versión local, HuffPost Chicago; HuffPost Nueva York fue lanzada en junio de 2009; HuffPost Denver hizo lo propio el 15 de septiembre de 2009 y HuffPost Los Ángeles inició operaciones el 2 de diciembre de 2009. The Huffington Post tiene una comunidad activa con más de un millón de comentarios por mes. Antes de The Huffington Post, Huffington mantenía una página web llamada Ariannaonline.com. Su primera incursión en Internet fue una página web llamada Resignation.com, que pedía la renuncia del presidente de Estados Unidos Bill Clinton y fue un lugar de encuentro para los conservadores opuestos a Clinton.

La versión española, El Huffington Post, desembarcó en España el 6 de junio de 2012, y PRISA Noticias participa en ella con el 50%.

El HuffPost tiene también versiones en Francia, Reino Unido e Italia desde el 25 de septiembre de 2012. El 20 de octubre de 2013  comenzó a salir la versión alemana.

The definitive arguments earmarked to win the votes are kept for the final stages. The tasting begins. The battle rages. 38 In fact, the outcome of the battle will be decided by pies, a secret weapon if ever there was one. One million, six hundred thousand have been made. Fourier reveals the reasons why he chose this particular dish: 58 I chose this dish because I was in the habit of reproaching the Civilized for their incapacity in this genre. I like them very much, but I have to avoid them because I am unable to digest them, which would not happen if our cooks knew how to compose them for different temperaments, and to add to certain types the flavours and vinegars conducive to all types of stomachs.
As a theoretician and strategist, Fourier knows that gastronomy is politics pursued by other means. The Fourierist polemic is reduced to food. 28 The philosopher is especially obsessed by mirlitons [almond tartlets from Rouen], little pies, vol-au-vents and pumpkin. He particularly detests the last of these, as well as badly cooked bread in which the dough is full of water. 29 Continuing this Anglophobia, he criticizes the fashion for eating 'half-raw meat, with forks bent in two and almost impossible to handle'.
39 On the other hand he pillories the rationalization of agricultural production that allows for all fruit and all vegetables in all seasons as a major artifice. He opposes the natural run of things to the multiplication of greenhouses. To each season the foods that suit it. The desire to rebel against the natural movement of the year in a quasi-divine fashion creates irrationality, and failure in the quality of produce: If I could have cherries when it is freezing, and ambercolored melons in the heart of winter, what pleasure would I take in them when my palate needs neither moistening nor cooling?

A Christmas Memory
Tags: / Top Choices
The #1 New York Times bestselling King of Christmas Fiction is back this holiday season with another heartwarming and wintery tale of rediscovering faith and love.A coming-of-age holiday tale based on Richard Paul Evans's own childhood that shows us how hope and acceptance can be found in the most unexpected of places.
track author
Richard Paul EvansWhen Richard Paul Evans wrote the #1 best-seller, The Christmas Box, he never intended on becoming an internationally known author.Officially, he was an advertising executive, an award-winning clay animator for the American and Japanese markets, candidate for state legislature and most importantly, husband and father. The Christmas Box was written as an expression of love for his (then) two daughters. Though he often told them how much he loved them, he wanted to express his love in a way that would be timeless. In 1993, Evans reproduced 20 copies of the final story and gave them to his closest relatives and friends as Christmas presents. In the month following, those 20 copies were passed around more than 160 times, and soon word spread so widely that bookstores began calling his home with orders for it.His quiet story of parental love and the true meaning of Christmas made history when it became simultaneously the #1 hardcover and paperback book in the nation. Since then, more than eight million copies of The Christmas Box have been printed. The Emmy award-winning CBS television movie based on The Christmas Box starred Maureen O'Hara and Richard Thomas. Two more of Evans's books were produced by Hallmark and starred such well-known actors as James Earl Jones, Vanessa Redgrave, Naomi Watts, Mary McDonough and Academy award winner Ellen Burstyn. He has since written 10 consecutive New York Times bestsellers and is one of the few authors in history to have hit both the fiction and non-fiction bestseller lists. He has won three awards for his children's books including the 1998 American Mothers book award and two first place Storytelling World awards. Evans's latest book, The 5 Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth, is now available.Of his success, Evans says: "The material achievements of The Christmas Box will never convey its true success, the lives it has changed, the families brought closer together, the mothers and fathers who suddenly understand the pricelessness of their children's fleeting childhood. I share the message of this book with you in hopes that in some way, you might be, as I was, enlightened."During the Spring of 1997, Evans founded The Christmas Box House International, an organization devoted to building shelters and providing services for abused and neglected children. Such shelters are operational in Moab, Vernal, Ogden and Salt Lake City, Utah and Lucre, Peru. To date, more than 16,000 children have been housed in Christmas Box House facilities.As an acclaimed speaker, Evans has shared the podium with such notable personalities as President George W. Bush, President George and Barbara Bush, former British Prime Minister John Majors, Ron Howard, Elizabeth Dole, Deepak Chopra, Steve Allen, and Bob Hope. Evans has been featured on the Today show and Entertainment Tonight, as well as in Time, Newsweek, People, The New York Times, Washington Post, Good Housekeepi

Bright future for Nepali village
A 2001 holiday in Nepal has turned into a passion for helping its people for Anthropology graduate Christie Lam.
Starting with just US$400, she has overseen the development of a volunteer-run program known as 'Future Village', which provides education, health and agricultural assistance to the 700 residents of Katunge Village, 100km north of the capital Kathmandu.
"I did some trekking in Nepal in 2001 before I came to Adelaide to study, and fell in love with the country and its people," said Christie, who is originally from Hong Kong.
"I met a lot of tourists and also locals, and I started to think whether the introduction of tourism and also stricter conservation policies had helped improve the locals' livelihood.
"The answer I got from locals was 'no'. I became very curious and used my studies at Adelaide University to see what impact these conservation policies were having in Nepal.
"I based my thesis on 15 months of fieldwork I did among a group of displaced residents known as Rana Tharu who had long lived in the Royal Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve and had been forced by authorities to leave their homeland due to changes in conservation policies.
"What I showed in my thesis was how this displacement and other social changes have gradually and unexpectedly diminished the Rana Tharu's economic livelihoods."
Somewhere in the middle of her time in Nepal, Christie decided that she wanted to do more than just study: she wanted to give back.
It was a life-changing decision which she describes as centering around 'translating knowledge into action'.
"I knew very well the completion of my PhD would give me a qualification, but how would it help the Nepali people?" she said.
"I started Future Village with just US$400, enough to buy a small piece of land in another part of Nepal that I had visited in my holidays in 2001. With support from my friends, we collected enough in donations to build a two-storey house, which we used to attract more volunteers.
"In the beginning, everything was difficult - just getting donated materials like books and furniture into the village was challenging in itself.
"But the response we had from volunteers far exceeded my expectations, and now the program has made a big difference in the life of the village.
"We've helped teach village children English and provided basic health services while listening to what the locals want -- we've always considered it a partnership, rather than a one-way street of us telling them what to do.
"As a result the livelihood of these village people has significantly improved. All the kids are able to go to school, which we've helped upgrade from a primary school to a junior high school, and more than half the population can access drinking water."
After graduating with her PhD in August 2009, Christie is back in Adelaide and teaching at her alma mater while hoping to pursue a career in teaching, research or working in non-government organisations (NGOs).
There is still much to be done with Future Village, but Christie said she hopes the project has been developed in such a way that the villagers themselves shape its subsequent direction.
"I think the future of Future Village is in the hands of the villagers," she said.
"Because we encouraged them to express their views in the early stages of the project and did our best to incorporate what they said would be best for them, they now have an important role in managing it today and also where it goes from here.
"For me, the biggest thing I've learned is how important it is to have a dream, and to take action to make the dream come true.
"I feel that nowadays, we give ourselves too many excuses not to try and achieve our dreams.
"We don't need to worry about difficulties if something is meaningful and worthy."

BRYANBOY Does New York FASHION WEEK
Making a strong presence at the New York Fashion Week in Manhattan's Bryant Park this season are international fashion bloggers including BRYANBOY, the "internationally loved" superstar blogger from the Philippines. The boy who used to wear his mother's pearls to glam up his boring Catholic school uniform now has a MARC JACOBS bag named after him. Bryanboy, who describes himself as "planet Earth's favourite Third World fag" who is "so gay he sweats glitter" has earned a huge fanbase worldwide. Last Sunday, I made these images of the phenom blogger in his chic Marc Jacobs sunglasses outside the tent. He is going to be a very interesting subject of a movie someday! To borrow his trademark sign off, "Baboosh!"
A former web developer, he started blogging at age 17 from his parents' Manila home. His eponymous blog, which attracts 180,000 visitors per day, won the 2007 Philippine Blog Award for Best Fashion & Lifestyle Blog. The New York Post named him one of the nine hottest internet celebrities, and news.com.au has called him "one of Fashion 2.0's biggest superstars" and a "phenom in the fashion blogosphere". His blog, called "hysterically camp" by the Sydney Morning Herald, is known for its "witty and often bitchy commentary."
The blog has also attracted the attention of many in the fashion industry. Bryanboy fans often send in photos of themselves in his signature pose—standing with hips thrust to one side and a handbag in an outstretched arm—or with handwritten signs declaring "I love Bryanboy"; celebrity participants have included Marc Jacobs, Tanya Dziahileva, Alexandra Agoston, and Rachel Clark. Though no brand spokesman commented on the matter, it was widely reported that Bryanboy's trademark pose was referenced in two 2006 Fendi advertisements. Marc Jacobs even went so far as to name a handbag after him (the BB ostrich bag) after Bryanboy gushed about it in his blog. www.bryanboy.com
